'Dance?! I can't dance! Hell I'm the least graceful person in the whole goddamn world! I'm pretty sure if there's a Greek God of dancing he hates my guts! Wait...isn't Mr. D the God of parties...fuck! I'm screwed!'

Percy's head was filled with dread as the day went by, eventually it was lunch and Percy was still panicking. 

As he walked to the Hufflepuff table he noticed Fleur looking at him with a smirk and immediately Percy realized she wanted him to ask her to the dance.

And Percy did, oh how he did. But there was just one tiny problem, he had no fcking idea how to dance!

Percy gulped as he sat down next to the french veela, "hey," he greeted her.

"'Ello," she wished back as they put food onto their plate, "'ow waz clazzez today?"

"Great," Percy nodded, gulping, "I-ah, well it was great."

"I zee...anyt'ing you want to zay to me?" Fleur asked with a coy smile.

"Well, I ah...no?"

Fleur blinked, "really? Nothing? Nothing at all?"

"Well it's just...I..." she stared into his eyes until he sighed, "I can't dance."

Whatever she was expecting this wasn't it, "I'm zorry?"

"I can't dance for shit okay?" Percy pouted, "I don't want to embrace you at the dance is all."

Fleur stared for a moment before she suddenly burst in laughter, "oh my god! This is priceless!"

"Hey! It's not funny!" Percy growled as everyone looked over to see why the two 'lovers' were talking about now.

"I-I am zorry!" Fleur chuckled wiping her tears, "it'z juzt t'at it waz zuch a zilly t'ing! Many people don't know 'ow to dance Perzy! Don't worry, I'll teach you!"

Percy blinked, "you will?"

"Of courze!" Fleur nodded, she looked up and smiled, "t'at iz of courze, if you and I are going to go t'e dance...together?"

Percy blushed, "of course!"

"Good, now ztop worrying so much, you need to ztart thinking about 'ow to azk me out for t'e dance."

"Right, yeah of course-wait what? What do you mean?" Percy asked stunned.

"W'at? Did you t'ink I don't want to be c'armed like any other girl?" Fleur huffed, "I demand romance Perzy Jackson! Azk me properly to the dance, or you can forget about t'e dancing!"

"I thought you hated romance!"

Fleur meet his gaze and smirked, "I lied."

Percy's jaw dropped as Fleur sniggred and went back to the meal, the people around them watched all this go down and whispered to themselves, curious as to what Percy was going to do.

After lunch Percy found himself walking down the school corridors grumbling to himself about what he should do to ask out Fleur. 

As he compiled a list in his head he noticed a young couple in the corner, between a suit of armour and a large marble pillar.

This wasn't exactly new for Percy, he had happened upon several couples over the weeks and usually either left them alone or pranked them a little. 

This time he chose to do the former, but as he was leaving he realised just who the two lovebirds were, and a mighty big grin washed over his face.

"Oh Harrykins!" Percy called out, the male in the couple stiffened as he slowly turned around to see Percy lording over him with a ball of water floating besides him, "you two look like you need to cool off."

Susan and Harry gulped, "please don't," Harry begged.

Percy chuckled, "fine," he snapped his fingers dismissing the water ball, "consider it your lucky day. But then again by the state of Susan's lips I would say it's already a good day eh?"

Harry and Susan blushed red as they were lowered their head in shame.

Percy chuckled, "next time use an abandoned classroom, or you know, anywhere else less public."

"Yeah, we'll do that," Harry nodded, "it's all her fault really."

"Pratt!" Susan hissed, hitting him in the shoulder making Harry smile, "don't believe him, it's all his idea. The moment I said yes he just pushed me against the wall he did! Didn't even stop to breath!"

Percy whistled, raising his hand up, "nice," Harry grinned high fived it, "so how did he ask you?"

"Oh you know, just used the old Potter charm," Harry grinned.

"He brought me flowers and stammered it out," Susan snorted, picking up a bouquet of flowers Percy hadn't realised had been on the ground, guess they forgot about during the heated make out session.

Percy looked at the flowers, roses, Percy turned to Harry, "thanks matey, you just gave me an idea!"

Harry and Susan looked confused, but before they could ask him anything Percy took off flying at max speed to his next class.

That Evening:

Fleur looked around the hall but couldn't find Percy anywhere. She was worried, had she drowned him away? Was she too arrogant? 

She knew it was too much asking him to do such a thing, after all she had accused him of being a playboy just a few weeks ago and now this? Fleur didn't want to lose Percy, but now-

"Fleur!" Camille called out snapping the french veela out of her daze.

"I'm sorry, what is it?"

"About time, you looked like you were brain damaged. Here, I was told to give you this," Camille passed her a letter with her name written on the cover in a beautiful font.

Curious Fleur opened it up and suddenly the letter exploded into a pink cloud out of which a cartoonish yellow bird flew out. 

It had giant blue eyes and two small feather-like wings that were flapping curiously like a humming bird. 

The muggleborn children recognized the bird from the Looney Toons cartoons, while the rest, Fleur included, just looked stumped.
