THIRD PERSON, GUYS. (Cathh, sorry if this isn't okay. It's just easier for me lately. No one has to reply if they don't want to. Actually it's just Sam. But it's happening in Stuckerverse.)

WHO: Percy and Gideon
WHEN: A while before Cassie's baby comes out
WHAT: Runaway

He couldn't take it anymore. His brothers were hideously annoying and taunting and his mother hardly seemed to care anymore. The only thing she seemed to want to spend time with was the twins. What about Percy? Percy had needs, too. The young boy was very upset and could think of no solution but to leave. He packed his essentials: Mr. Woobie, underpants ( a LOT of undies. ), crayons, one pair of trousers, a jumper, a rubber ball, a slinky, and his brothers socks. That last bit would obviously upset them. After he'd stuffed everything into his bag he wrote in his best lettering:

"To hoom it may konsern,

I cant stay heer enymor. You treet me no good.

By,
Percy'

He'd learned how to address letters from watching his father work. This letter he left on his bad and left right after bedtime. It was tricky, because for a bed time, his parents didn't seem to go to bed when they were supposed to. However, he made it out. His father was in the garage and his mother taking care of her other children, as usual.

Luckily, Percy thought to steal his mum's wand. sure, it was very unlike him, but he took something from his brothers, why not her? He'd seen his father do it before, and it worked everytime: he waved the wand like a flag and the Knight Bus pulled up down the road where Percy had walked. The driver looked reluctant to let him on. After all he was very young, and certainly looked it. Still, Percy refused to tell him where his parents were. he showed him some money, of which he had been saving, and he was admitted onto the bus. After all, who was he to refuse payment? The knight bus took him to King's Cross and Percy bought at ticket for the next train to Hogsmeade, glad that he'd saved so long, and that his brothers kept their money in their socks. He boarded and road for what seemed like years.

Percy finally hopped off the train at Hogsmeade station and lugged his large bag out. He pulled the straps over his shoulders and set off nervously towards Hogwarts. When he got to the gate it was locked. He tried squeezing through it but couldn't fit with his bag on. So, doing the logical thing he tried to toss it over the gate. For a while he could only get it near the top, but then with one big swing and a grunt the bag just made it over. He squeezed through the gate almost easily--he couldn't do this nest year, he knew. Picking up his bag he started walking quickly to the castle. It was dark, and Percy hated the dark.

After the long walk up the drive her approached the large entrance doors. It was intimidating, especially only lit by torch light. Taking a deep breath, he pushed through with effort and looked around in wonder, as always. "Wow," he mumbled. After a while he remembered his self determined purpose and made his way to his uncles' rooms, once again thankful of his excellent memory.
