August 30

"Brie." I heard a girl's voice whisper. "Rise and shine, little sis."

I opened my eyes a bit to find my cabin's counselor, sister and best friend Piper McLean staring down at me. I scratched my head, looked out my window, and then proceeded to stuff my face in my pillow.

"What in Hades, Piper? It's still dark out." I groaned into the pillow.

"Wake up you slug." She said as she poked my arm. "Chiron wants to talk to us."

"Slug? You just get more and more creative with your name-calling, huh?"

"I'm serious, kid."

"Why must Chiron always find the worst time to announce something? I think he likes messing with us."

"I don't know, Brielle. But it must be important so just get up and go change before I have to soak you with something." She hissed quietly as she pulled off my covers and slapped the back of my head.

"OW!" I screamed. I looked around to see if I woke anybody up, but then I remembered I was in Aphrodite's Cabin. People here don't wake up if there's a second coming of Kronos. "Piper is strong?" I mumbled jokingly, which earned me a glare.

I sat up and looked at the clock. I could only make out a four in the darkness of our cabin.

"Why in the name of Tartarus does Chiron want to talk to us at four in the morning? Couldn't he wait a little more?" I complained as I got up and looked for something to wear.

"I already said I don't know, just move it!" She ordered as she stumbled out the door and slammed it behind her. Reading this, you may believe that Piper is extremely mean, but she just really isn't a morning person. Like, really.

I grabbed the first clothes I saw and put them on (and hoped they weren't extremely mismatched). I walked sleepily out of the cabin and made my way to the Big House.

As I tried to keep myself awake while walking, I heard a couple of footsteps behind me. There was someone tiptoeing carefully behind me.

"BOO!" That someone yelled. I didn't have to turn around to know who it was.

"Oh. My. Gods. Leo! You scared the crapout of me!" I said sarcastically, without stopping or turning around. "Have you been waiting for me in the shadows for too long?"

"For a while now, yes." He answered, amused. He caught up with me and begun walking by my side. "But you're hard to frighten. Will you teach me your ways, master?"

"I am afraid these abilities cannot be learned, only born with, grasshopper." After a couple of laughs, we remained silent for the rest of our walk. We would've continued talking nonsense, but our sleepiness did not permit that to be so.

Now, I'm probably the one who less takes things seriously in our group, so I figured that once we got to the Big House, everyone would be acting super mature and judging me for being so, well, me. I was wrong.

Piper and Percy were yelling at each other. Jason was sleeping (and sleep-talking) on the couch. Hazel, Annabeth and Frank were in a heated game of Uno, and apparently had gotten into an argument because someone used a 4+ card. Chiron just sat there, next to the chaos, with his head in his hands, looking like he was about to cry. He shot up from his seat as soon as he saw us.

"Wonderful, you're all here." He said in an unbelievably relieved tone. After a moment, he let out a sigh. "Oh wait, where's Nico? He was here a minute ago."

"Here. I'm just staying away from the chaos." Nico muttered as he appeared out of the shadows. Now, I'm friends with the kid and all, but I must admit that he gets creepier by the day.

"Chiron, can you please tell us why you called us here?" Annabeth said without tearing her eyes from her cards.

"As you wish. Everyone please sit." He said. "And pay attention. No Uno, you three." He added when he noticed that the three hadn't moved. "This isn't going to be very easy to hear."

I raised an eyebrow and did what he requested along with everyone else.

"Is something wrong?" Percy asked. "Oh, who am I kidding? There's something wrong all the time."

Chiron huffed.

"Well, an old friend of mine contacted me these days. He asked for a favor, which involves all of you." He said slowly, choosing his words carefully.

"So?" Piper inquired.

"So, Piper, he asked me to round up my most experienced fighters- which would be all of you- and send a little backup because his, erm, people are in war."

"His people? Ok, is this Lord of The Rings or something? What in Hades, Chiron?" I said in a way that even annoyed myself. That's why you don't keep my sleep from me, I get extremely irritating.

"Chiron, just tell us what this dude wants already." Leo said tiredly.

"Of course, of course. This dude, Mister Valdez is in fact a headmaster of a very prestigious school. They've just begun their second war, and he would like some help. Since he heard of the wonders that all of you did, he requested that you would help them." He said simply and looked at us to see if we understood.

"Ok, and who would his people be?" Annabeth asked.

"Wizards."

Ok, so first chapter's up! Well, I have tons of things to say:

The biggest problem in mixing these two worlds is that the timelines are extremely different, as it should be 1996 in The Half-Blood Prince, but according to Blood of Olympus, it would be 2014/2015. Since I'm following the events of The Half-Blood Prince book, I am officially using 1996's calendar for a reference, but this does not make the story take place in that year explicitly. Because of these complications, it is solely up to the reader the year the story takes place.That said, Brie is 17, Nico is 15, Hazel is 14 and the rest are 18. Back in Hogwarts, the trio is 16.I tried to be as creative as possible with Brie, without making her a Mary-Sue. I thought about making her sucky at fighting and all that physical stuff, but I wanted to make a non-stereotypical Aphrodite daughter. I still have a strong feeling that she's still too much of a Mary-Sue, therefore, please tell me anything I could improve on her!There is going to be swearing and some sexual themes, but nothing graphic. I will warn anything that could be triggering before posting, and if I offend or trigger you in any way, please say so, so I can terminate the problem immediately.

Be sure to share any opinion you have! I am always up to hear how my stories can get better, and I would really like some tips from you, the readers, on how to make it more pleasant to read!

Thanks for reading! Please review, follow and favorite if you like it!

I do not own the Harry Potter or Percy Jackson series.
