"T'at iz no excuze! You of all people zhould know 'ow important a veela'z 'air iz to tzem!" Fleur hissed, calming down a little.
"Late! Food!" Kelly yelled back, not letting up on the bigger veela.
Percy sighed, "sorry about that Fleur, Kelly gets mean when we miss dinner."
Fleur sighed, she leaned back and closed her eyes, "I was having such a nice dream."
"Hm? Care to share?"
"You wouldn't like it," Fleur smiled, "it waz me winning the cup w'ile you ztood bezidez crying."
Percy pushed the cloak up causing it to float mid air away from them while they got up.
Percy smirked, "that's why it's a dream Fleur, because there's no chance of it ever happening," he pulled Fleur up to her feet, "it's too bad we have to leave, I like it here."
"Yes, you're a very nice pillow Perzy," Fleur chuckled as she tucked her golden egg under her arm.
"Thank you Fleur, I'm glad to be of service," Percy picked up his golden egg and turned to Kelly, "where your dragon buddy Kelly?"
"Kitty!" Kelly huffed as she pointed to a top branch of the oak tree. Percy frowned and narrowed his eyes, he saw the tiny dragon figure sitting on a branch, clutching it for dear life as it sent fearful looks at Percy, or more specifically, Kelly.
Percy sighed, "you are a handful," he stunned the dragon and summoned him back. He tucked the dragon away and turned to Fleur, "come on, I'm sure by now everyone's worried about us."
Fleur nodded, "right." Percy summoned his cloak and put it on. As she walked besides Percy as they went to Hogwarts for dinner.
They entered the Great Hall, and suddenly all the chatter which was customary for an evening dinner there stopped.
Almost everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing and turned to watch Percy and Fleur walk in side by side.
And then Juan had to open his goddamn mouth.
"You go Jackson!" the Badger stood up, giving Percy a thumbs up and a wink. And taking his cue everyone did the same.
"Go Jackson!"
"It's about time you two made up!" A lot of the boys looked happy, winking and praising Percy, while some did look jealous. The girls though looked a bit more concerned.
"Wait are they together now?"
"Where were they for so long?"
Percy groaned, this just made things even more complicated. After an awkward dinner Percy and Fleur parted ways, Percy first replaced the armour he 'borrowed' for the first task, he casted several cosmetic charms on it, in order to hide the runes he carved into it.
And then when he came back to the Hufflepuff common room he meet with another party.
There were drinks all around and plenty of food, compliments of the Hogwarts House Elves. Ever Percy's favorite song was playing, 'Magical Force' by the Weird Sisters.
"To Percy Jackson! The best goddamn champion we ever got!" Gordan raised his glass of firewhiskey.
"Here here!" everyone replied as they chuckled their drinks. A fifth year turned on the wizarding radio and everyone below fourth year was sent to their rooms for the night, this party was for the seniors alone.
"Hey Percy so what did you and Fleur do?" Heather asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
"What do you mean?" Percy asked.
"Oh come on Percy don't act dumb, you can tell us," Michael replied as slowly Percy was surrounded by his year mates and the 7th years, all looking at him with a curious twinkle in their eyes.
Percy sighed, "I don't want to break your bubbles but nothing happened. We just sat by the lake and had a small nap. We don't' didn't get much sleep last night so we kind of just had a power nap."
"So...you slept together?" Gordan giggled on the word play, until Percy smacked him up the head.
"No we didn't! Jackass," Percy hissed, "we just napped, no sleeping, just napping."
"Come on!"
"Really?!"
"So are you two friends again?"
The rest of the students kept yelling out in disbelief when Juan stepped up and silenced them all, "yeah they just had a short nap. And you know what, I have proof."
The house began to chatter curiously while Percy just looked confused letting out a skeptical, "what?"
"And here it is!" Cedric yelled out as he pulled out a stack of pictures from his robe pocket and threw them into the air.
Everyone ran to pick one up for themselves, gasping in surprise seeing it. The boys look jealous while the girls simply awed commenting on how cute they both looked. Percy grew scared and a little curious as he grabbed a photo and saw for himself.
It was a picture of him and Fleur by the lake side underneath the tree. She was drooling and he was smiling as they were wrapped around tightly with Percy's cloak. Percy blushed, 'when did they even take this?! Holy shit everyone in the room has a copy! Shit shit shit!'
Percy took out his wand, "accio photos!" all the pictures came zipping into Percy's hand as the demigod ignited them all aflame.
After his last experience with a compromising photo, well let's just say Percy was in no mood to let that happen again.
"No Percy come on!"
"No cool man!"
"Oh look at him blushing like an idiot!"
Percy growled at Cedric, "when did you take this!?"
"This afternoon," Cedric shrugged as the rest tried to hold in their laughter, "I have to say Percy, you two make an amazing couple."
"Do you have more?!"
"No, these are the only copies," everyone groaned at the admittance, "but hey atleast now you can't say you two are just friends!"
"We are just friends!" Percy hissed, "we aren't anything more!"
"For now," Heather whispered causing everyone to laugh.
