"And finally this is Miguel, our resident class nerd. Basically if you need help you ask him," Gordon pointed at a boy with thick bold specs and a giant curly head of hair.
"Hello," the boy waved cheerfully.
"Hello everyone, I'm Percy," Percy smiled, "guess that means we are roommates huh?"
"Yup!" Gordon grinned, "anyway Dumbledore's about to say something. We should probably stop talking now."
The entire hall then went silent as slowly a old wizard in a bright purple robe stood up. He had a long white beard that shined like silver which he tucked into his belt. He stood up and smiled,
"Before we begin our banquet, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you."
Immediately like magic the tables were filled with food ranging from chicken to slices of cake the size of Percy's fist. The student's grabbed whatever they fancied as they quickly began to dig in.
"Dumbledore is a bit out there huh?" Percy said as he a chicken leg and a ladle full of smashed potatoes.
"He is, but he is alright," Juan admitted as they all began to eat.
Suddenly a misty white figure came out off the ground through the table. Percy heard the first years shriek in surprise as the hall began to fill up with ghosts. The demigod himself sat paralyzed in fear as the one at Hufflepuff table began to talk with everyone there.
"Hello Fiar! How was your summer?" Juan asked.
"Oh fine my young friend, I celebrated my death day you know, quite a feast! So many ghosts came, why even Myrtle managed to drag herself out off her little bathroom and join us! It was really a sight!"
Percy stammered as he pointed, "y-you're a ghost!"
The fat friar looked at Percy with a raised eyebrow, "yes….and?"
Percy blinked as he looked around, the castle was full of ghosts just floating around talking to people. 'That bitch!' Percy growled, 'she told me ghosts were rare! And now I'm stuck in a castle full of them!'
"Hey Percy you okay?" Miguel asked curiously.
"Oh? Me? Yeah..yeah I'm fine. I just," he looked at the fat friar and blinked, "I just never seen a ghost before."
"Are you joking? How have you never seen a ghost before? Don't they have them in America?" Gordon asked.
"I didn't really get out much," Percy rubbed his neck, "sorry for staring Fat Friar, I'm just not used to someone floating through me dinner table."
"Oh that's all right," the ghost smiled, "welcome to Hufflepuff youngman! If you need anything, please, don't hesitate to ask!" Percy smiled watching the fat friar move on to greet other newcomers and old friends.
"Hey Percy!" Heather called over a few seats down, she grinned and raised a glass, "welcome to Hufflepuff mate!"
Percy smiled as he picked up his goblet and raised it, "thanks Heather!" He chugged the drink down. 'Hm, this tastes funny,' Percy wiped away the pumpkin juice in the corne rof his mouth and looked at his goblet, 'it looks the same. But it tastes funny, like someone put something spicy. Like….oh shit.'
Percy looked down and his eyes went wide, "WHAT THE HELL?!" Percy's skin had turned purple with pink hair growing out wildly. Percy felt his teeth grow into fangs and hair growing out off his ears.
"Who the fuck-" Percy looked up as he heard snickering. He looked around and spotted Fred and George waving at him with grins on their face. Percy turned to Heather who laughed looking guilty, "Heather!"
"Sorry Percy! They made me do it! They offered me something I couldn't resist, money." the Hufflepuff started to break down into laughter as the boys around Percy joined in.
The demigod drew his wand and quickly began changing himself back. He glared at Fred and George, "it's on bitches!"
The twins laughed as they quickly went back to their meals. Percy growled, he was not going to let this challenge go unanswered. He quickly looked around and slowly formed a plan in his head.
Percy looked at Heather, "Heather, I'll give you a galleon if you tell me Fred and George's favorite dessert."
The Hufflepuff girl grinned, "a galleon each."
"Deal," Percy reached into his pocket and took out two galleons and tossed them over.
"Thanks, George likes to eat the treacle tart and Fred loves the lemon pie," she then greedily tucked the coins into her pocket turning to her friends.
"What are you going to do Percy?" Gordon asked.
"Isn't it obvious? I'm going to get them back," Percy grabbed a slice of lemon pie and a treacle tart on their side of the table and took out his imber knife. He carefully took out the tart from its cover and flipped it on its back. He then slowly began to carve a rune into the husk of the desert, making sure not to damage the structural integrity of the treat.
He carved the rune perfectly and put the tart back into its cover before starting to work on the lemon pie. He carved several runes all over the bottom and cast a few charms to make sure the pie didn't fall apart while he carved, also to make sure that the runes didn't lose their form.
When he was done Percy pushed both desserts aside and quickly gobbled up his dinner.
"Okay what exactly are you going to do with those?" Miguel asked, "it looked like you just carved runes into them, but I don't really recognize them."
"That's because I just made them up," Percy shrugged as he attacked a piece of chicken.
"You created a rune structure?" the nerdy Hufflepuff asked in amazement, "that's incredible! Does it work?"
Percy shrugged, "don't know. But I haven't made one so far that didn't."
"And what exactly do you plan on doing with them?" Michael asked yawning.
"You'll see," Percy looked over and suddenly dropped his chicken leg. He grabbed his wand and looked over to Fred and George. One of the twins were reaching for a piece of pie, Percy figured it was Fred. He cast a quickly switching charm, exchanging the rune carved one he had with the one Fred was about to grab.
