Family Ties (Editing/rewriting some parts)

38

The day before, Percy was re-reading the letters he got a couple weeks prior. Mostly the one from Chiron.

Apparently he had a cousin on his, well his actual God fathers side, her name was Thalia daughter of Zeus. He remembers Luke telling him about her and another girl that had went by the name of Annabeth but disappeared years ago.

She had wanted to know who had helped her on the hill, but we had to leave the next morning because Harry had gotten in a bit of a pickle.

Percy couldn't help but smile a bit, his family just kept growing, first with Sev, then Harry, his friends, Neville actually joining in and soon Uncle Sirius. He had Tyson now to, Luke and Clarise even if she didn't exactly know it, Chiron and now Thalia. He had always been a loner at school, bullied too, but he didn't exactly care now.

He was right where he belonged now.

The train came in and people who were here, quickly ushered their children on. Percy, Neville and Harry were being squished by Lily who was telling them to be good and not to, causing people to get on before them. They even saw Hermione give them a smirk as she boarded the red express train.

"Mom, we got to go, your going to make us have to search for a empty cart." Percy whines as he tried to wiggle away.

"I know dear I know, just be safe and contact me straight after you get there and whenever something strange is happening, got that?" She said as she tried to fix Harry's hair, as he tried to escape.

Neville couldn't help but want to stay but what his new brother Percy had said was quite true. "Yes, we have to go soon please." He said as he tried to escape now.

Lily pouted but sighed quickly kissing their cheeks one more time she sent them off and the boys were off dragging each other as they climbed onto the train, waving and saying goodbye to her, she smiled before shaking her head and off she went.

Harry sighed in relief as he searched for a compartment for themselves. They soon found Hermione with a book propped open and Draco looking ready to run if it wasn't for seeing Percy.

"Thank the all mighty that your here. Pretend to be dating me Percy! Please!" Draco said as he got on his knees in front of the sea blue eyed boy taking the tan hands into his own.

"What?" He said wide eyed.

Harry and Neville sat down just in time as Pansy Parkinson rushed in looking red in the face from her exercise. "Draco! You can't be dating another male! You have to date me!" She cried as she looked at the scene before her.

Percy glared at her and she gaped at him as he quickly brought Draco up and let him put his pale arms around his waist as he smirked at the girl. "He is dating another male thank you very much. And that's me. He doesn't have to date you Parkinson, so leave. He's mine." Percy said bringing out a inner Slytherin, that may or may not have made Draco heat up.

Pansy screeched in rage before running off.

Draco sighed in relief. "Thank you Percy."

Percy just blushed and sat across from Harry disregarding the male that was sleeping beside him on the window. He just hoped he didn't see or hear anything.

The Malfoy sat beside him, Blaise, Ron and Luna came and decided to just squish in as well, making 9 in the compartment but Percy and Harry made it just a tad bigger so it wasn't as noticeable to the man if he ever woke up, so they were slightly stuck together.

The familiars having fun being on the racks above.

Once finally leaving the station they talked about their summer, congratulating Neville on becoming a Jackson and hoping he was okay, and he was and he said he was happier then he ever was.

"I can tell." Luna said sending a smile his way, making both blush.

But as normal as the Train ride was, something didn't add up, cause all of a sudden the Train stopped with a loud screech that nearly made people wince at how loud it was. Percy woke up cause of it and looked around as the air grew colder.

"What's going on?" He asked as he sat up a bit but snuggled back into Draco as his breath fogged in the cold air, the window growing frost.

Harry stood up as something came from the hallway hearing nothing but the wind really. Everyone else on the train was quiet as well, it made the atmosphere even eerier.

Then bone like fingers opened the door and everyone stared with held breath as it opened the door and there stood the reaper, well it looked like one. It went up to Harry as he was the first thing it saw. Suddenly it looked to
Be sucking Harry's face off.

"Harry!!" Percy yelled as he was going to get up but a bright light happened and the next thing he saw was Harry slumping over, Hermione quickly catching him. "Oh gods, Harry!" Percy said as he got up to look at his brother.

"He'll be alright." Said the male that saved them, they looked to see a tall man with hazel eyed and nearly dirty blonde hair. He was in a sweater and looked like he'd be a professor.

"How do you know?" Percy asked frowning at the man, having a feeling he didn't really like when he was around said man.

"Trust me, it didn't finish what it wanted. Here have this, it'll help you all feel better." The man pulled out chocolate.

Harry still out now seated where Hermione once was. "Who are you?" Hermione Asked as she finished and sat down once again. Percy did as well as he glanced at his brother.

The male stood to his full height before sitting back down. "I'm Remus Lupin, your new DADA professor."
