HOGWARTS - SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM

Percy was honestly getting bored with how.. calm everything was in Hogwarts. It was disgusting how peaceful everything was and the boy had taken to exploring the castle's halls to stave of his boredom. One day he went strolling around in one of the floors when the boy had stumbled upon big wooden double doors. Percy being the person he was did not think twice about opening the doors but did so with great caution. 

Inside was a simple circular shaped bedroom with bookshelves lining the walls, quiditch supplies strewn on the floors and a nice looking fireplace. It looked oddly like his own bedroom back at the Riddle manor. How strange, the boy was just thinking about his home and cozy bed. Frowning, Percy started looking around and he stopped in front of the fireplace which was brightly lit and noticed a plaque drilled to the brick.

The Room of Requirement.

Percy raised an eyebrow and left quickly, going back to the common room to write a quick letter to his father asking if he knew anything about this mysterious discovery.

Percy sent the letter first through owl post before going to lunch with the rest of his friends. Draco asked where he had been all this time and Percy answered with a short "wandering around" before swiftly changing the subject. After taking a moment to think about it he decided he wouldn't tell Draco about his discovery until he himself knew more about it. They all ate quietly but everybody can feel the excitement coursing through the air, the first years after all were about to have their first flying lesson (though it wasn't like the purebloods didn't know how to fly a broom, its just been awhile since coming to Hogwarts).

Percy didn't ate as much as usual as he knew from experience that flying too fast will do many things to a full stomach. An internal shudder went through him, some things were just better off forgotten.

After lunch the first years went to the quiditch field and found that the Slytherins were the first to arrive. They all looked at the "brooms" lying on the ground "these aren't broom, they are sticks with twigs stuck on them" Percy commented kicking the one closest to him. The Gryffindors finally came trudging down the field and as soon as they were in hearing distance Draco smirked "well I bet the Weasleys can't even buy the twigs" the blonde said loud enough for said person to hear. It was quite funny seeing the ginger get redder then his hair "well that's not a very fair bet Draco" Percy said smirking and Weasley surged forward angrily only to be stopped by Potter. Huh, maybe he got brains after all.

When the Professor finally came all they were told to stand next to a broom "put your right hand up and say UP!" she yelled. Everybody started screaming and shouting at ones and the sea green eyed boy watched in amusement "up" Percy said authoritatively and the broom immediately jump to his hand. Draco managed to succeed on his second time and the boy grinned smugly before realizing that Percy and Potter were already ahead of him "I mean you I get but Potter?" he scowled and Percy didn't said anything.

Minutes later everybody was up in the air, slowly testing their skills. Percy loved the feeling of adrenaline pumping through his vein and leaned forward, speeding past everybody else. Draco followed closely and the two did loops and spins and raced each other as fast they could.  After a few minutes of flying around Professor Hooch shouted "back to the ground everybody!" and the students all obediently did as they were told.

"Now I want you all to perfect your hold on your brooms, everybody expect Mr. Riddle and Mr. Malfoy may leave- class dismissed!" everybody left the field except the two mentioned Slytherins, for some reason Weasley looked smug (as if he thought they were going to be punished or something how dull).

"That was some good job flying out there boys" she started "thank you professor" Draco replied with an oh so sweet smile "well I think the age restriction is a waste of perfectly good talent  and I'm going to talk to Snape about letting you both in the Slytherin quidditch team" the professor exclaimed and both boys grinned. Professor hooch then shooed them away with a small smile so they could go to their next classes.

At dinner Professor Snape and Marcus Flint -the Slytherin quiditch captain- came over to to them "boys" Snape greeted them with a nod "I need you to come over my office for a moment to discuss something"  the two wiped their mouths with a napkin and followed the professor out the great hall.  Snape led them to his office down at the dungeons. The room was circular and had shelves filled with books and potion ingredients, Percy, Draco and Flint stood by a wide dark wooden table laden with parchments that was set in the back as Snape took a seat on his chair. " Hooch informed me of your supposed talents in quiditch and advised me to put the both of you on the quidditch team" Snape drawled "I talked to Dumbledore and your father Draco"  said blonde grinned, if his father was involved he could get pretty much anything he want.

"Before I make any decisions you both will be evaluated by Flint here and if you are as good as professor Hooch  really says you are then the both of you are welcomed to join the team" Percy restrained himself from grinning and instead nodded respectfully to the head of Slytherin and Flint before returning to dinner with a smirking Draco in tow.

Dinner was relatively normal save for the fact that a certain red head was glaring at them the entire time. It seems news travel fast here in Hogwarts. Once they finish eating Percy and Draco stood up to go back to the Slytherin dormitories when they were stopped out in the hall by a certain red headed wizard and his sidekick. 

"Malfoy! Why are you still here? Thought you were already in a train back to the oh so incredible Malfoy manor" the weasel taunted, and where the hell did this idiot got the idea of Draco being expelled? Did he really think Hooch gave a dam about some stupid insults thrown around to actually report the blonde? How elementary.  "Well yes the Malfoy manor is quite the site don't you agree Percy?" Draco turned to him with a gleam in his eyes "yes I'm not surprised that a Weasley would fall for the charms of such a manor considering where they live.. the Barrow is it?" Percy smirked, the red head's face burned and Potter seemed confused on what to do.

"If you think you're so great then I challenge you to a duel!" Draco pondered about the challenge for awhile and hid a smirk "I accept your challenge Weasley, Riddle here is my second who's yours?" Draco said coldly. The weasel seemed shocked at first but quickly recovered "Harry Potter is" he said smugly like it was suppose to scare them "midnight at the trophy room and you better not be late Weasley" the pureblood said rather coldly before sauntering off, Percy gave one last look at the two Gryffindors before following his friend.

Once they reach the safety of their dorm Percy turned to Malfoy "was that a smart thing to do?" he questioned Draco who was sitting in his bed with a pleased look on his face "relax I wasn't planning to go, we'll just let the information inconveniently go to a certain person and his feline friend" Percy catched on to his plan and grinned "you are brilliant Draco" the sea green eyed boy called out while digging around his trunk for his Pajamas "oh I have my moments" Draco answered, grinning a shark like grin before he went out to set his plan in motion.
