Chapter 1, I am Offered a Job, Percy POV

I was curled up on the beach with Annabeth, just watching the sunset one June night. Remarkably, it was August 18th, the day we finished the Second Titan War three years ago, and our anniversary. The peace breaker is, of course, Travis Stoll, son of Hermes, stumbling down the beach, were he yelled,

"PERCY, CHIRON WANTS TO SEE YOU!"

"SHHHHHH! Annabeth's asleep!" I whisper-yelled. He immediately stopped.

"Ok, but Chiron wants to see you!"

"I got it the first time," He started to run off. "Before you go, could you please grab Malcolm from the Athena cabin? I don't want to ruin a decent sleep for her, or leave her for the harpies to find."

"Sure Percy." When I mentioned a decent nights' sleep, Travis immediately sobered. I suppose I should explain. Two weeks ago, we won the Second Giant War. While it may seem like a cause for victory, and it is, a few days before, Annabeth and I had been rescued from Ta- I still can't say it. From the deepest pit of Greek Hell. Where all the monsters go when demigods kill them, where my Titan grandfather lays in shreds. The quest called for a demigod to travel through there and for someone to close the Doors of Death from the Hell side. Bob and Small Bob gave themselves up for Annabeth and I to live. Down there, we where captured, and tortured to oblivion. We had to survive for two weeks on ambrosia and liquid fire. We fought of the curses people have laid on us, and every monster in the book. Once we defeated Gaea, we had to sleep in different cabins on the Argo II, thanks to Coach Hedge, our chaperone. The first night, we woke everybody up in half an hour, due to our screams from nightmares.

Since then, Annabeth and I shared a bed in my cabin on the Argo II. Until we got to Camp. Sleeping with each other (NOT like that, your purvey jerks!) doesn't stop the nightmares, but it can usually stop the screaming. We ran into a few issues when we got to Camp. One being Chiron's rules about non-siblings of opposite genders sleeping in the same cabin. Second, was Malcolm, Annabeth's half-brother, didn't approve of us in the same cabin. Until we woke up screaming our guts out the third night in a row. That was when Chiron and Malcolm approved.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I spun around, uncapping Riptide, my ever-present sword.

"Whoa Percy, no need to run me through!" It was Malcolm, thank the gods. "Travis said you needed me?"

"Yeah, could you take Annie back to my cabin? Chiron wants to see me about something, and I don't want to ruin a good sleep for her."

Malcolm looked at me for a second with an odd expression on his face, then said, "Sure Perce, anything for my brother-in-law!" I know what you're thinking. Annabeth and I aren't married.

I glared at Mal. "How'd you know? We only told the Seven, because of-"

Malcolm cut me off. "Wait, you and my sister got married?!" He glared at me! "What the Hades?! You two are two you-" It was my turn to cut him off.

"We didn't get married. I only asked her, down there, 'If we get out of this alive, will you marry me?' when we were fighting that stupid drakon. We got out, she said yes, Leo made her a ring, happy?'

"Kind of. Congrats man! I just wanted to freak you out. Wait until Mom hears about this! And sure, I'll take Annie up to your guys' cabin."

"Thanks, oh, and your mother already knows. You could hear Lady Aphrodite squeal from where we where."

"Darn, I wanted to tell her. Come on, give me Annabeth, so you can go talk to Chiron." Malcolm started off up the beach with Annabeth in his arm. I slowly got up. I've only been out of the infirmary for two days, and I haven't been able to take ambrosia since the Argo II, for fear of my truing to Powdered Percy. I slowly made my way up to the Big House, where I could see Chiron standing in horse-form, with a tall lady standing behind him. I made my way up to the Big House, and bowed to Chiron. He hadn't let me at first, but me reasoning is this- if I have to bow to gods, some of which I don't respect as much as Chiron, I should be allowed to bow to him. Chiron bows back, he insisted. Then I bowed to the lady behind him, who I recognized as Lady Hecate, the goddess of magic.

"Percy, I'm truly sorry to interrupt your anniversary with Ms. Chase, after all that's happened. However, Lady Hecate has a request for you."

"Perseus, I would like you to undertake a job for me."

_Time lapse_

"Let me get this straight! You want me to go undercover as a guy with a pointy magical stick and teach kids! You have to be kidding me! In England?! What about Annabeth? Chiron you kn-"

"Yes Percy, I do know. And I'm sorry that this has all come so soon. But these people need you. They need someone to teach them what war is like! They have just come out of their own, after all. On a rank from the war we just finished to theirs, it was at the rank of a hellhound. T they where still as horribly effected as everyone here after our Titan War. They need you Percy. And I am aware of your situation with Annabeth, but they don't need another teacher. They need you. Only you would be able to reverse what happened

"There is a boy, named Harry Potter, who was in the middle of it all, a bit like a wizard version of you. He and his friends, Hermione and Ron, and his girlfriend, Ginny, suffered the most. You will be staying with Arthur and Molly Weasley for a few days before you take the train to the school. Hermione and Harry will be staying with the Weasley's for a bit longer than you. Ron and Ginny are the two youngest for the seven Weasley children. The only people who will be at the Weasley residence, commonly called the 'Burrow', will be Arthur, Moll, Fred (their son), Ginny, Ron, Harry, and Hermione. Lady Hecate has arranged everything with Zeus and your mortal family, along with the wizards. Do you accept?"

Chiron looked at he from his wheelchair, mentally pleading with me to go. "Alright, I'll do it. But I have no idea how in the name of Hades I'll explain this to Annabeth.
