Sorry it took me some time to update… busy week and I didn't really have that much inspiration since I didn't really get that much reviews…

Reviews are powerful things guys! And it makes every author want to update more. They could help relieve some tension or even cure the author's writer's block so please review!

So enough of my self -inflicted drama!

Oh and by the way, this chapter is pretty short but sweet. There will be some Pernelope and a Weasley brotherly love. And of course some Oliver Percy time but no fluff.

Disclaimer: J.K Rowling is the supermegafoxyosomhot writer that came up with Harry Potter. So yes she's the coolest girl in town!

Chapter 7: First Day Back

It was once again the first of September, and the Hogwarts Express was once again travelling on its tracks. Percy Weasley was patrolling the carts of the train, assisting the first years that were lost or clueless and if ever, stopping any ruckus or rule breaking from the upperclassmen. He always checked on his twin brothers who were with Lee Jordan in a compartment thinking that they would pull a prank while on the train. He also frequently passed by Ginny, who was starting her first year at Hogwarts. She was with Hermione since both Ron and Harry failed to make an appearance before the train departed.

I swear if Professor McGonagall doesn't expel those two then I'm going to kill them!

He made his way to another cart and saw his best mate Oliver Wood with the Gryffindor Chasers in one of the compartments. He was about to knock to say hello when a figure approached him from behind and tapped his shoulders.

"Hey babe" Penelope said as she hugged him from behind.

"Hey Penny" Percy replied as he turned around and kissed Penelope lightly on the cheeks.

Percy and Penelope's relationship has been going strong for six months now. Penelope finally dropped the supposed "kissing problem" they had and waited for Percy to be comfortable enough to kiss her on the lips. They were still keen on keeping their relationship out of Hogwarts' circulation of gossip but since the train aisle was deserted, they managed to be a bit more affectionate to each other.

"So which subjects will you drop this term?" Penelope asked to start a conversation.

"Well since I have to surrender my time turner to Professor McGonagall this year, I need to drop about five subjects to have a livable schedule." Penelope gave her a surprised look but Percy just continued. "I guess I'll drop Divination and Care for Magical Creatures since they're not really great subjects. I'll also drop History of Magic and Astronomy and lastly, Defense against the Dark Arts."

"What? Why are you removing Defense against the Dark Arts? Gilderoy Lockhart will start teaching this year! I'm pretty sure we'll learn a lot from him." She replied while giggling at the thought of being in a lecture with the dazzling wizard.

"Well aside from the fact that I am not a fan of Professor Lockhart, his books are way too expensive for our family to buy another set. Mom already bought four sets for Fred, George, Ron and Ginny so our budget is pretty low and I don't want to add more burdens to our bank account." He said and sighed in the end.

"Oh I almost forgot!" Penelope exclaimed. She suddenly whipped out her wand and flicked it lightly. A small silver box suddenly came towards her direction and landed on her open palm.

"Belated Happy Birthday Percy!" she said as she gave the box to Percy.

"Wow, I never knew you could already use Accio non-verbally." Percy said, clearly impressed

"I had a little practice this summer vacation. C'mon open it!"

Percy unwrapped his present and out came an eyeglass case. He opened it and saw the beautiful horn-rimmed glasses. It was mainly red and blue with streaks of gold and bronze on the hinges and temple tips. He removed the glasses he was wearing and replaced it with the new one.

"Penelope this is just perfect! You even got the lenses' acuity correct. Thank you!"

"Of course, anything for my geeky boyfriend" she giggled. "And besides, your glasses are way to battered that even Oculus Reparo doesn't work anymore. Do you like the color?"

"Yes, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw colors, they look perfect together. Just like some people I know." He said as he lightly kissed Penelope on the lips, catching her a bit off guard.

Suddenly the compartment near them opened and out came Oliver Wood who saw the entire kissing scene.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here, two prefects not doing their job of patrolling the train? I guess I'll have to report you two." Oliver said making the two, jump out of surprise.

Percy blushed and then chuckled while Penelope glared at Oliver putting on a 'do you really have to interrupt now?' face.

"Well I guess I'll see you later Penelope. We still have our duties to do." Percy said as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Okay, we already lost our privacy when your pervert of a friend arrived anyway." She glared again at Oliver before leaving the cart for the next one.

"You're right Percy, Penelope really is a sweetheart." Oliver said sarcastically. "Nice glasses by the way."

"Thanks! It came from Penelope." He replied.

"So Percy Weasley is actually dating Penelope Clearwater?" a girl said behind Oliver; it was Angelina Johnson.

Percy blushed before replying. "Well… ummm… yeah sort of. Please don't tell anyone yet okay, especially Fred and George!"

"Sure thing, it's not really our secret to tell anyway." Katie Bell added.

"And besides, we're Quidditch girls not some obsessed gossips." Alicia ended.

"Thanks. I'll see you later then. I really need to patrol the train again." Percy said.

"Sure thing Perce and no more snogging in public, you might scare a couple of first years." Oliver snickered.

The train finally came to a halt at Hogsmeade station and soon enough, they arrived at Hogwarts. Percy made his way to the Great Hall and glanced at Penelope by the Ravenclaw table. She smiled at him and Percy smiled back. Percy finally took a seat beside the twins and in front of Oliver. No sooner did the first years march towards the Great Hall ready to be sorted. He looked at Ginny who was pretty much nervous and flashed a' thumbs up' when he caught her attention. When her name was called, the Sorting Hat immediately pronounced Gryffindor and she was welcomed with a lot of applause and cheers on the Gryffindor Table. When the usual ceremony of the feast and opening remarks of the headmaster was done, Percy led the Gryffindors, mainly the first years, towards the Gryffindor Tower.

He stayed in the common room instead of going straight to his dormitory to wait for Ron and Harry's arrival. I swear I'm going to give an earful to those two once they walk through that door!

When the duo finally appeared, Percy stood up from his chair and walked briskly towards them. He knocked Ron's head with his hand and heard the younger redhead yelp a bit.

"What was that for?" Ron complained.

"Where have you been? We've been worried sick about you, about the both of you to be precise!" Percy said as he glared at the two second years.

"It's a long story Percy. We've had a long day. I'll just tell you tomorrow so could you stop scolding us, you're sounding like mum." Ron replied wearily.

Percy chuckled and soon hugged his brother and ruffled his red hair. "At least you're okay. Now both of you go back to your dormitory, it's already late."

"What's wrong with you today Percy? Now you're acting like mum." Ron replied to his brother.

"Just go now to your room Ronald, you too Harry."

Percy made his way up to his own dormitory. He was ready to relax since tomorrow would be their enlistment for N.E.W.T. level subjects. He stepped into the room and saw Oliver actually reading a textbook. Oliver saw him and quickly closed the book.

"Hey Percy"

"I'm impressed Ol. First day of the term and you're already studying. What miracle happened to you while on vacation in America?" Percy said as he made his way to his bed.

"Is it really that surprising that I'm actually studying?" Oliver asked.

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"Okay don't. I just wanted to be academically okay this year. Mom and Dad weren't really glad with my O.W.L. results so I want to do great in my remaining subjects." Oliver replied.

"Which subjects were you planning to continue anyway?"He asked.

"Just five subjects: Charms, Astronomy, Transfiguration, Care for Magical Creatures and DADA. I even bought the complete set from that Lockhart bloke."

"Yeah they're kind of expensive. That's why I'm not continuing with the subject but I guess we'll be classmates in Charms and Transfiguration." Percy smiled.

"Oh by the way Perce, I have something for you." Oliver got up from his bed and started searching for something from his trunk. He came up with a small box that was badly wrapped.

"Belated Happy Birthday Percy!" Oliver greeted.

Percy smiled and his heart fluttered for a bit. "Great, not this again" he thought. He thanked Oliver and took the package and started opening it. He saw that it was a nice little green hardbound book.

"I hope you like it." Oliver grinned. "I saw it in a bookstore we passed by while on vacation and I immediately bought it. I remembered that you like reading those muggle adventure novels so I bought this one. The main character even has the same name as you do!"

Percy looked at the book and indeed the main character's name shared his first name. He placed the book on his bed and suddenly hugged Oliver.

"Thanks Ol. I'll be sure to read this book while patrolling this week." Percy suddenly felt Oliver's arms wrap around him and he felt happy and comfortable. "What in Merlin's beard is this? You're dating Penny remember?" he scolded to himself.

"No prob, I hope the novel's good though. I don't really know anything about muggle books. "Oliver said as he withdrew his arms from the hug.

"I'll let you know soon." Percy replied. "In fact, I'll start reading it right now."

Oliver smiled and went back to his bed and resumed reading Voyages with Vampires while Percy slumped back on his bed and started reading the first chapter of the book.

Chapter one – I ACCIDENTALLY VAPORIZE MY PRE-ALGEBRA TEACHER

Percy laughed in his mind thinking about how many times he wanted to zap Professor Vector whenever she babbled too fast about her Arithmancy equations. He started reading the first few pages and was already having the urge to pull an all-nighter to finish the novel but he resisted. He placed the book by his bedside drawer along with his new Gryffindor-Ravenclaw glasses and dreamt about monster teachers, old knitting ladies, a Minotaur, Penelope and Oliver.

He was having the craziest and loveliest dream of his life.

So there is chapter 7! Hope you guys like it. I'd just like to follow up a disclaimer here that I do not own the PJO series and it is all Rick Riordan. Yeah I just wanted to place my other beloved novel somewhere in this fanfic the same way I did for Hunger Games.

So did you like the little story with Ron? I know I did! I wish I had a cool brother like that.

Anyways, please review guys! And I promise you, I will reply to any of your suggestions, reactions, or even violent reactions like "Why don't you have Oliver shagging Percy silly in this chapter?" So yes reader, please review! Review about anything really! I'd love to read whatever you post. (Yes I really look desperate now to receive reviews from you people.)

This fanfic is at your own mercy. Just like Tinkerbell needs applause to live, this fanfic needs your reviews. If you want it to continue just tell me so yeah. With that, Percival Jones is out! Peace!
