Doing last minute homework an hour before curfew was a pain to say the least, even if it wasn't meant to be in for another few days. Compared to some people, he was actually quite serious on completing homework to the highest potential possible and that wasn't due to his parents high expectations. All he was doing was making the most of his time at Hogwarts and there was no hurt in losing countless hours of his spare time to achieve his goal. The work in question was the study of the blind folding spell and its history, a spell that would be sure to come in handy further down the line. Even for a simple piece of magic it had quite a bit written about it, and the pile of books beside him was proof of that.
One book was already open wide in front of him as he continued to scribble down sentence after sentence with his quill. In an hour, he must of written four long paragraphs explaining different areas of the spell. All of which was tiring to say the least. Percy slowly placed his quill on the work book and cranked his head back with a groan, his neck stiff from staying in the same position for an unnatural time. The library around him seemed to be almost empty, other than the odd few students walking around in search of books and other items. At least he knew there wouldn't be much trouble compared to a memorable event that didn't happen so long ago, the thought would even bring a smile to his face now and then.
Although, throughout the work he couldn't stop thinking about something. Professor Lear had been found after his strange disappearance and was apparently acting strange ever since his return, something of which troubled him. There had to be more to this whole ordeal, and from the looks of things it didn't sound pretty. However, now wasn't the time to think of such mystery. All he had to do was get this work done and get a much needed sleep for whatever Hogwarts had to throw at him tomorrow.

An hour before curfew and instead of being in his common room, Henry was stepping foot inside the library which was the one place well second place the 12 year old would go to isolate himself from other and be alone with his thoughts. Funny enough every other time the boy has been through it was far from isolating or thinking since he somehow accidentally or on purpose started to talk to another but this time Henry swore to himself that he would isolate himself and think on his hidden life and family during this trip. Henry walked down the library and occupied stop to scan over the others, there were only a handful there maybe 5 or 6 plus the librarian but with his cunning he was sure to succeed at the task at hand.
Henry slipped down an aisle and casually picked up 3 books that it looked like the slytherin could finished in less than an hour since that was all he had but he didn't come there for reading or thinking really. Usually Henry wouldn't dream of breaking the rules or causing mischief but that was last year when he was just a first year and before the summer where his life turned upside down and his world came crumbling down. Now, as a second year and with his newfound hidden life and family, he's ready to bend some rules and cause some mischief because for the first time he didn't care about the punishment or if he was caught for that matter of fact even.
The 12 year old stepped out of an aisle and looked for a table, as his blue eyes flickered from empty table to empty table and the occasional person that was taking up some late night studying or finishing some school work. Henry was lucky enough to have finish all of his work and assignments probably because he still enjoyed doing the work and was still an avid reader so he never minded but he was sure with his new rebeling that that there was no way in hell that he would be top of his classes again.
As Henry walked by each table and passed the occasion person who seemed to have looked up at him and recognized him a bit. Henry thought he remembered seeing a few of them in his classes but he couldn't be sure, but what he was sure of was now they saw him which was his so called image last year. Henry was pretty sure that most first years and mostly everyone in his own house saw or thought he was top of every class in his year, a know it all, smartass, geek, and slytherin traitor. By slytherin traitor that meant he knee no one in slytherin except the few that he already got off on a bad foot with besides Ileen who he didn't exactly get off one a bad foot with her but they weren't friends still. Yeah others sometimes called him names that included ravenclaw or hufflepuff since all his friends were in those two house and he would more than likely sit at those tables in the great hall.
Henry eventually saw the perfect table, it was positioned in front if the restricted section which is what he needed but also there was another boy there who Henry recognized was also a slytherin in the same year as him. Henry gather up his courage and approach the boy, when Henry was across from him he then spoke " do you mind if I join you?" Henry waited for an response before sitting down and placing his books in a neat pile in front of himself, he was also sitting directly in front if the restricted section when he spoke again " you a second year slytherin, like me right? I'm Henry by the way, uh Henry Knight," Henry would normally not have said his last name but he figured that this boy already knew who he was so he said it anyway and opened one of his books as he read. Henry then placed his left hand in his pocket of his jacket as he felt a prank that he will soon use in the library.

A voice came from behind him that forced Percy to lift his head out of the page once more, one that was unfamiliar to him. Slowly, he snapped his head and rotated his body to give a blank stare at the boy before him. After a few seconds of examining the fellow Slytherin he motioned his eyes to a chair beside him "Sure..." Percy said nonchalantly as he watched him sit down beside and place a pile of books on the table "Yea, i'm a second year. Although, your surname does sound familiar." he said curiously while noting down his strange clothing choice.
The surname knight was something he had heard a few times between pureblood families, and seemed to be quite a known name. However, sometimes some pesky muggles would share the name and be mistaken as something they wished to be "Say, where do you come from exactly?" asked the boy curiously while taking a quick glance of him fumbling around in his pockets. It wasn't suspicious since many kids his aged like to take forever in finding something in their pockets, but it was always right to be cautious about someone you just met.
While he was waiting for his answer Percy stared straight forwards into the restriction section, a place where he always aimed to get to at some point. It was too risky to do at his age, but maybe towards the end of his schools years a chance would arise to learn a spell or two from the great unknown. He heard rumours that his grandfather and father had done done so during their time at Hogwarts, but during his lifetime he had never witnessed them ever use one once. If they did, it was clearly out of the public eye.

When the fellow slytherin spoke, Henry looked up sort of surprised while he did know that he was a second year slytherin like him, he wasn't expecting to him to know his surname. Knight was his mum surname and while she was a pureblood, he still hardly ever heard anyone say that they recognized or knew it. Now that someone was sitting across from him saying they heard it, made this young boy a bit excited because for the first time he may get his answers on his mum's family. Now he was thinking,what if he didn't want answer or couldn't stand anything else, he did already deal with his father's family which speaking of he should have just said his father's surname since they were a typical pureblood with old money and connections with other pureblood families and the ministry.
Henry heard his next question before thinking for a while and finally speaking with a blank face and his hand still deep in his jacket pocket with the object that will get him into the restricted section, " I'm originally from godric hollow, however I moved to Liverpool three years ago," Henry then looked at the boy who appear to be from a pureblood family but he was a slytherin so what did Henry expect as he continued "
while I am pureblood my surname isn't that well known to others so it's a surprised that you recognized it, my father's surname however is uh really well known, not that I care really."
Henry however now wonder who this boy was so he spoke " may I ask who are you now that you know me?"
