Funny how they have a different -- and fairly inaccurate -- views of each other.
Where everyone else sees a dangerous killer and Death Eater, Percy sees an impetuous naughty boy.
Where everyone else sees an arrogant and obnoxious self-promoting politico, Niko sees a delicate, refined innocent.
Neither of them is correct, though they do see something true that no one else can see. But Percy is a lot stronger than Niko suspects, and Niko is a lot more dangerous than Percy realises. It's just that Niko is not dangerous to Percy, and Percy is different when he's around Niko. It's a weird little alternate reality they've created for themselves.
