History Fanfic / QuestToThePast

* KickTheSonOfABitch: The [=DADA=] professor in the second year Jeff Heckler receives the torture curse by Percy's hands, however considering that he was perfectly fine with using, killing, and torturing kids for his own gain, it's not really easy to feel sorry for him.

* JerkJock: Like in the source material James Potter could be considered this at times. He's a really good quidditch player but he could be a mean bully at times as well.

* BullyingADragon: Percy is an incredibly powerful and dangerous person, who people keep trying to aggravate. Only Circe has any clue just how ''terrifying'' Percy can be, and even she underestimates him. The Marauders are particularly guilty of this, as they keep harassing Percy and Severus. James even challenges Percy to a duel, which ends ''very'' badly for him, to the point Percy accidentally nearly kills him. Years later, Hagrid remembers Percy as the best of his generation.

James even challenges Percy to a duel, which ends ''very'' badly for him, to the point Percy accidentally nearly kills him.

* CaughtOnTape: After some ocassions where he has been prejudiced against Slytherins to the point of convincing the teachers that the explosion in their common room happened because Snape had some artifact with Dark Arts without proof, Percy goes to Silverback to pressure him into confessing of his distaste for the house and it's members and records it in audio to give it to Dumbledore later.

* CluelessChickMagnet: As usual with Percy, a great number of girls, including Lily even, think that he's really handsome, and are attracted to him, but he just doesn't realize this unless you tell him to his face with a megaphone.

* DelayedRippleEffect: Percy's presence in the Hogwarts of the past is slowly but surely fixing all of the mess that Circe is causing in the timeline, but at the same time it's also causing some changes even if not as massive as the ones caused by the goddess, like Percy becoming Harry's godfather and him being called Harry Perseus Potter in honor of the demigod.

** Aphrodite blesses Percy as well but when she's asked what it is she just responds that it's a secret, considering her behavior with her giggling about it and reputation the other Olympians conclude that she has her own hidden agenda and it's likely that it will give problems for Percy's love life.

* TheDreaded: Percy unfortunately to some of his classmates and teachers after he uses the Cruciatus Curse. In chapter 71 when Professor Sprout takes him aside in private and tries to reassure him she cares about him and wants to help, he points out that the whole time she has been keeping a tight grip on his wand.

* IdenticalStranger: Lily's archnemesis Theophania Travers, Tiffany for short, is noted to resemble Annabeth a lot with a few differences such as having a more penetrating gaze, having curly black hair that is loose bellow her shoulder, a more rounder nose and more pale than the blonde's tan. Percy reflects that she's basically like an Annabeth that dyed her hair and let Aphrodite put makeup on her.

* JerkJock: Like in the source material James Potter could be considered this at times, he's a really good quidditch player but he could be a mean bully at times as well.

* LovableJock: Thanks to Zeus's blessing before the start of his "quest to the past" Percy (who is a really NiceGuy as we know by now) is able to fly without any problem or fears, due to this he can play quidditch and he turns out to be a prodigy of such caliber that he's remembered as one of the best players even after years of him having disappeared.

* ManipulativeBastard: Circe plays this role surprisingly well in both Percy's first and third year, as she manipulates him and other people for her schemes. She is also fairly adept at keeping her grandson, Voldemort, in line.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As a demigod himself, Dumbledore is able to help Percy a lot, and they work together as much as possible to handle the yearly threats. That said, he is still wary of a mysterious and powerful demigod who has appeared seemingly out of nowhere, so as a lot of intrigues and threats begin to surround both Hogwarts and Percy alike, he doses the sea spawn's drink in a little bit of Veritaserum to make sure he is not a threat to his students and learn the truth as much as possible.

* SeriousBusiness: Marlene [=McKinnon=], the second Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain, takes her job even more seriously than ''Oliver Wood.'' Her team, including Percy, lives in fear of her, and she makes them train during the summer. Later explained that she really wants to play professionally, but lacks the natural talent of Percy and other players, so she has to really work to prove herself to any professional recruiters.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Considering all of what he went through even before being sent into the past and what he has to suffer after that it's no wonder that Percy ends up fitting in this trope, it doesn't help that all of his traumas have been returning to him little by little thanks to Circe's schemes.

* SnarkToSnarkCombat: Sometimes the conversations between Percy and Lily can develop into this, not really a surprise since both characters have a similar sense of humor.

* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: It seems that this is what Snape in his youth thinks of the Death Eaters, basically seeing them as Dark Arts Activists who fight for their rights to use the Dark Arts rather than the obvious terrorist group that has a lot of paralels with the nazis.

* RomanticAsexual: While Damien likes Marlene [=McKinnon=] and wants to go out with her he admits to Percy that he doesn't really have the "urges" that a lot of his friends have when it comes to girls.

* {{Asexuality}}: Damien is this, while he likes Marlene McKinnon and wants to go out with her he admits to Percy that he doesn't really have the "urges" that a lot of his friends have when it comes to girls.

** [[Spoiler: Sirius' name is cleared, and Pettigrew is outed as the traitor.]]

A fanfiction with a similar premise has been written, but they have both become their very own stories. Can be found [[Fanfic/Hoax here]].

* UndyingLoyalty: Percy is a Hufflepfull to the end!
