“I’m Percy, the prefect in Dorm 3, and I’ll help you with your bags, if you like,” said the great dark figure from above. He grinned, and Matt got a view of a dazzling white set of enormous teeth. Percy advanced down the stairs, and Matt could see that he was enormously broad across the shoulders and chest, with a gut and thick arms that filled his shirt. His pants appeared to be painted on across enormous thighs. “Welcome to OSB. We’ve got your room all ready for you. You’ll be sharing with another new guy, Jeremy, who’s also in ninth grade.
