Percy put the folder away and quickly ate the rest of breakfast. Once he was done he decided to go out for a walk, the castle still needed exploring!
Percy set out on his adventure when he realised that there was a lot of ground to cover, and he didn't really want to walk for so long. If only there was a way for Percy to move without walking. Sigh…...oh wait.
Percy grinned as he reached back and pulled out his hover board. He placed it on the ground and stepped on it. Kelly hissed at the board and Percy chuckled, "I promise, I won't go overboard this time. I'm just going to use it to move around that's all."
Kelly nodded but still kept a close eye on the offending piece of wood. Percy leaned forward activating the board and slowly told it to move forward while still hovering only a few centimeters above the ground.
Percy glided across the floor quickly, the Hufflepuff grinned, "this is so cool!" Percy leaned forward and started his little quest.
He glided across the corridor on his board as he started exploring the place. He twisted and turned around the corridors.
When there was a student in his path Percy simply circled around them, or in some cases went over their heads.
"Hey watch it!" A Slytherin hissed.
"Sorry!" Percy called back as he and Kelly chuckled.
"Percy Jackson! What are you doing?!" a familiar voice hissed at him.
Percy stopped and found Hermione, Harry and Ron staring at him. "Hey guys!" Percy waved as he quickly brought the board down, "glad to see you all up and about! Don't want to waste away a perfectly good Saturday now do we?"
"Wow Percy, I didn't realise you could move like that," Harry said as he looked at the board, "I still can't believe you actually made it!"
"So are you finally willing to admit that boards are better than brooms?" Percy asked.
Harry rolled his eyes, "I admitted nothing. I just said I'm surprised a piece of wood like that could actually move."
"One day Potter, one day you are going to say with your own mouth that hoverboards are better than brooms. Just you wait."
"That will never happen," Harry grinned.
"Percy!" Hermione hissed, "what were you doing?! You could have gotten hurt!"
Percy raised an eyebrow, "ah, no, not going to happen."
"Yes! What if you had fallen off the board?!"
"Not possible, I made runes to keep my feet glued to the board while it is in motion," Percy pointed at said runes and allowed Hermione to looked them over.
The bushy haired girl blushed, "I-I see… well then….it's still dangerous!"
Percy chuckled, "relax control freak, I have it covered. Anyway, I would love to stay and allow Hermione to shout at me some more but I'm having too much fun!" Percy activated the board and speed off, "see you guys later!"
"Bye Percy!" Harry waved along with Ron.
Hermione however huffed. She looked at her friends, "you don't think I'm a control freak do you?"
Harry and Ron flinched, they looked at each other. "Let's go eat Ron."
"Yup! I wonder what they'll have for us today," Ron asked as he and Harry walked towards the Great Hall.
"Probably the same as everyday," Harry shrugged.
"Hey! Answer me!" Hermione yelled back as she ran to catch up with her friends.
Percy glided through the corridors one floor at a time getting a mental map of the place. However when he was on the fifth floor, the groundskeeper nearly caught him.
Percy had almost crashed right into the man, but luckily his instinct guided him away from the wreckage and he bolted away as fast as he could before Filch even noticed he was there.
The demigod had heard stories about the man, if Filch got one look at Percy's board he could kiss it goodbye!
Percy glided across the floor, twisting and turning until he was sure he lost the man. Just to be sure he even glided to the roof to hide.
No one ever looks up, never. But as he waited for any sign that Filch even saw him Percy noticed something, a small door near the top of the wall.
Percy couldn't believe his eyes. There it was, a red wooden door similar to the many he passed by before.
It was around 20 feet off the ground but sure enough there it was just carved into the wall.
Percy took out his wand and unlocked the door with an unlocking charm. The door swung open and Percy saw a platform inside with a set of stairs leading inside and up.
'Okay…..option 1 I enter said room and explore, possibly walking into a cursed room or something. Option 2 I lock the door and walk away. ….Okay, Option 1 it is.'
Percy glided his hoverboard into the doorway and closed the door behind him. Percy got off the board and put it away before he walked up the set of stairs before him.
The stairs went on for about half a story before opening up to a floor door. Percy casted another unlocking charm and pushed the trap door open.
He stepped up and his jaw dropped, "holy-shit," Percy exclaimed as he looked around.
He stood in the middle of beautiful room that was at least 40 feet tall with giant marble pillars lining the walls.
There was a giant dome with a circular glass skylight in the center.
The grill on the sky light was in the shape of a triangle with a circle inside it and a straight line piecing them both down the center.
In Between the pillars were glass windows with moving paintings of several different magical creatures running around a painted forest.
It had unicorns, pegasus, dragons, mermaids, moles, garden gnomes and even a pixie flying around making a nuisance of himself.
