Hi! Thanks for clicking on my fanfiction, I really appreciate it. First of all, this is my first story so I really appreciate constructive criticism. Hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter.

Percy POV

Percy!" I heard my mom, Sally Jackson yell from downstairs. "I made waffles for you!"

I groaned. I had just been woken up from one of my rare peaceful nights of sleep with no dreams and I really wanted to stay that way for another couple of hours but my stomach was grumbling. I was in the middle of a dilemma. Breakfast or sleep? I thought. Breakfast or sleep? Just as I finally decided on sleep and was fluffing up my pillows, the aroma of my mom's scrumptious blue waffles (long story) came into my room and dragged me out of bed. My eyes half closed, I made my way down the stairs, almost tripping on every step. I was just about to enter the kitchen when…

"Well, the zombie lives." I jumped back and my eyes flew open. There sitting at my kitchen table was Annabeth. She quoted herself from our first quest together when I had overslept.

"Wha- Annabeth?" I managed to get out. She smirked. After I got over the initial shock of my girlfriend in my kitchen, I became aware of my appearance. I still had on my pajamas, my hair was a disaster, my breath stunk and I probably had drool coming out of the side of my mouth. Drool. That reminded me of the first thing Annabeth had ever said to me, "You drool in your sleep." I grinned before looking back at her.

"Um, why are you here?" I asked slowly. Not wanting to sound like an idiot, or an unfortunate boyfriend, I quickly added, "Not that I mind, of course I always love having you around." Unfortunately, that didn't work. Annabeth smacked her forehead.

"Seaweed Brain, don't you remember?" I racked my brain, trying to think of what was happening today. July 15th, July 15th, come on, what was on July 15th? I gave up trying to remember and just let Annabeth tell me. I gave her a blank stare indicating that I didn't know. She groaned.

"Percy, today, you, Grover, Thalia and I are going to New York City!" I groaned thinking of my stupidity. During the final battle in the 2nd Titan War, Thalia had promised cheeseburgers. We had planned to finish the deal, but of course, I had gotten whisked away by Hera. We had rescheduled to today but of course I had forgotten. Meanwhile, my stepfather, Paul Blofis, who was awesome by the way, chuckled. Wait, I take that back. He was awesome MOST of the time. He was reading the newspaper at the kitchen table next to Annabeth while my mother was busy making waffles. My stomach grumbled again.

"I am so sorry Annabeth, I totally forgot!" I exclaimed.

"Its fine but if you don't want to get electrocuted by Thalia then we better hurry up."

Harry POV

My eyes fluttered open as I was startled by the warmth of someone's skin against my arm. My eyesight was blurry without my glasses but I could make out the faint outline of one of my best friends, Hermione.

"Harry, wake up. McGonagall's here. It seems like it's important. Come on." She began walking over to Ron's bed also to wake him up, her bushy hair bouncing behind her as I grabbed my glasses. It was a week after the war and Hermione and I were staying at the Burrow. I had no choice because I had nowhere else to go, and Hermione was here to help out with the grieving Weasley family. Also of course, for Ginny and Ron. After the war, I had gone back to Ginny, much to Ron's disappointment, and Ron and Hermione had become a couple.

I got out of bed and quickly changed in the bathroom into muggle clothes. When I got back to Ron's bedroom, Hermione was still trying (and failing) to wake Ron up. Finally, she gave up and took out her wand.

"Augamenti." She said and immediately water began pouring out of her wand and onto Ron's face. He sat up trying to get water out of his eyes. I grinned as Ron spluttered.

"Blimey, Hermione, what was that for?" he spluttered.

"Honestly Ronald, you sleep like a rock. McGonagall's here and she wants to talk to us. Now hurry up and get dressed. Ginny and I will meet you at the stairs in five minutes." She replied. As Ron got dressed, I attempted to flatten my messy hair but as usual it stayed the same. Finally, as Ron emerged out of the bathroom, we headed to the stairway. There we saw Ginny and Hermione, who looked like they'd been up for hours. Ginny had her arms crossed looking bored and Hermione was impatiently tapping her feet. They glanced up at the sound of the footsteps, and we headed downstairs to meet Professor McGonagall.

As we neared the end of the steps, I heard Professor McGonagall talking to Mrs. Weasley.

"How are you coping, Molly? I know it has been tough since the war especially after one of your dear sons died." At this Mrs. Weasley sniffled. "But remember, help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it." She finished.

"Thank you, Minerva. Thank you so much." At this, both women glanced up to see the four of us, standing on the last step of the stairs.

"Ah. How are you four? I was just telling your mother (at this she looked at Ron and Ginny) that I have a surprise for you. Come sit." McGonagall greeted them. She pointed at the couch in front of her. We sat down. "I know how much you four helped in the war and the wizarding community is grateful for it. To show our appreciation we have funded tickets for you to travel to the United States in America for sightseeing by flying in an airplane the way Muggles do. I thought you deserved a break from all this fighting. I hope you all enjoy your trip. Your flight will leave this Friday, so you will have three days to get ready as today is a Tuesday. The rest of the information will be sent to you along with the tickets by owl sometime today." As she said this, we stared at her in amazement. I couldn't believe it. After the battle, I had just wanted to get a break and get away from all the grief.

When McGonagall left, we began chattering excitedly about what we would do in New York. Hermione said that she had always wanted to go to New York because she had read so much about it, and Ron asked what an airplane was. Ginny was excited that she was finally going to be able to travel a muggle way, being born into a wizarding family. Later that day, after a heated game of quidditch, I went into mine and Ron's shared bedroom and immediately fell asleep exhausted. I was woken up by a peck. I jumped up, with my wand at the ready, only to find an owl with a piece of parchment attached to it. I rubbed the spot the owl had pecked before taking the letter. I called for Ginny, Ron and Hermione and together we read the letter. It read:

Dear Mr. Ron Weasley, Mr. Harry Potter, Ms. Hermione Granger, and Ms. Ginny Weasley,

Attached are your airplane tickets. You will be leaving on Friday and heading straight to New York City. Ms. Granger has traveled by airplane before so she should be able to direct you to your flight.

Sincerely,

Professor McGonagall,

Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

We looked at each other and grinned. The next couple of days we packed. Finally the day came. This trip was going to be interesting.

And that's the first chapter. Hope you liked it! Please review, I would really appreciate it! Updating should be pretty frequent, I'll try my best. Also as I said before, this is my first fanfic and I had a couple of clarification questions. If anyone knows what AU or SYOC stands for, please let me know by review or message me. Thanks a lot!
