The class exploded into motion as they quickly formed a line. Percy was behind George and Fred, he was in the middle of the line, hopefully by the time his turn came he would have figured something out.
"All right step forward!" Moody yelled. A Ravenclaw was first, he looked scared, as he should be. "Now listen, I will cast the curse on you, you will hear a voice in your head telling you to do something, whatever you do, do not listen to the voice. Understand?" the scared teen nodded, "good. Imperio!"
The boy looked like he was resisting, but after a minute Moody had control. The boy then started to act like a chicken, dancing around the class. No one laughed, they all knew they were next.
One by one they went and one by one Moody put them under the charm and made them do embarrassing things. Angelina sang, Alicia flapped her hands like a bird. Gordon did the salsa with a Slytherin girl, while Juan got down to one knee and proposed to a Ravenclaw boy.
And then it was Percy's turn. The demigod stepped up nervously, his hands were cold, he can't believe he was actually doing this. He looked at Moody who nodded at him. Percy sighed, 'if I don't at least try then I won't be able to block it when it matters the most.' Percy sighed, he looked at Moody and nodded back.
"Imperio!" Moody jabbed his wand forward sending a wave of magic over Percy.
The demigod shut his eyes and screamed, 'NO NO NO NO NO!' in his head over and over again. But slowly he realised that he was screaming at no one. He opened his eyes and blinked, he couldn't hear anyone else in there. There was no commanding voice present in his head. It was empty, well except for him.
"Ah sir, I don't think you cast that right," Percy said causing everyone to blink in confusion.
Moody himself had his mouth slightly ajar, "w-what?! H-how?! I did it perfectly!" he looked at his wand and then to Percy. He narrowed his eyes, and leveled his wand again, "imperio!"
Percy waited, and once again found his head occupied by only his own thoughts. And he knew they were his own because they were snarky and sarcastic as hell. "Yeah I don't think this works on me."
"Incredible!" Moody beamed, his attitude doing a complete 180, "look here class! Jackson has thrown off the spell completely! He didn't even feel it!"
"Woah!" Fred and George exclaimed.
"How did you do it Percy?" Juan asked.
Percy shrugged, "I don't know. Guess I just didn't let it enter my mind in the first place." But Percy knew the truth, it what because he was a demigod, Hecate had explained it to him a long time ago, he was much stronger than any week spell a wizard to throw out, it was also the reason he was immune to the veela charm, which now that he thought about it sounded a lot like the imperious charm.
Moody narrowed his eyes for a moment before he smiled, "good job Jackson! 20 points to Hufflepuff! Pay attention class, the secret is persistence! Jackson here threw off the curse by not even allowing the curse to take hold, learn from his actions, and try it yourself! Now let's continue."
Percy walked away and stood to the side while the entire class went and got themselves imperialised by Moody. Percy narrowed his eyes, he saw the look Moody gave him, that dark curious look, the guy was a good teacher, but Percy didn't trust him, not one bit. He still creeped him out, Percy figured it was because of the eye, but he didn't know for sure.
Classes remained normal for that week. Classes were the same, though Percy was sorely tempted to just skip Flitwick's class by using his champions excuse. But a long lecture from McGonagall forced him to push away the idea. Stupid cat lady.
Percy still had no idea what the first task would be, but he didn't care much, he was sure whatever it was he could handle it. Was that over confidence? Yes. But you try swimming in the Styx and come out unscathed and try not to grow a little proud over your abilities.
Everyday at breakfast Percy sat with Harry and Hermione, he didn't like Harry sitting alone being shunned by everyone, and is he, the official Hogwarts champion, sat with Harry, Percy hoped people would realise Harry wasn't to blame and stop shunning him.
But of course the real pain in the ass wasn't class at all, no, it was in fact an angry french veela.
Percy tried to talk to Fleur whenever he could. He would sit with the Beauxbatons students during lunch and dinner, and try to get Fluer to talk to him. But the girl was still angry, not that Percy could help it. He wasn't going to apologize, if that was what she wanted, but it sucked not being able to talk to her. She seemed nice enough.
So Percy kept himself occupied. He talked to the other french students and became quick friends with them as well. He was one of the few students in the castle that the frenchys actually liked talking too. He was laid back and always had a smile, plus anyone who could shut Fleur up had to be worth something.
Thursday morning Percy sat down with Harry and Hermione once again. This time however they were joined by Fred, George and the three Gryffindor chasers.
"So what's on your schedule today?" Harry asked them all.
"Well let's see, today's Thursday so I have runes, DADA and charms. I'm thinking I can probably bunk the last class though," Percy said a smile.
Harry rolled his eyes, "you want McGonagall to skin you alive?"
