A/N Hi! Okay, so this takes place in the HoO world in between HoH and BoO, but that'll probably change when BoO comes out. In the Wizarding world, Rose and Albus are sixth years, James is a seventh year, and Hugo and Lily are fourth years. I'm assuming they're all in Gryffindor. More details on the Hogwarts side will be given when I get the next chapter out. This will switch off between Hogwarts and the Argo II, and is written in the style that Uncle Rick writes HoO.

Disclaimer: I, BalletBookworm, do not own The Heroes of Olympus or Harry Potter. I am a short girl who spends all her time with her nose in a book or on the Interwebs. Do I look like a heartbreaking writer to you?

Hazel

Hazel suddenly jolted awake. Her dream had started out perfectly lovely, then suddenly turned into a flash of bright lights, laughter, and for some reason, a funny looking creature with wide eyes and pointy ears. Most disturbing, though, was her last vision. She had seen a man with pale white skin and red eyes, with a face like a snake. Hazel shook of the strange dream.

"You have to stay focused," she told herself firmly. "You have a quest to take care of." She dragged herself out of bed, got dressed, and walked into the mess hall to have breakfast with the others.

"Morning, Hazel!" Frank said, his eyes lighting up. As she seated herself next to Frank, she couldn't help but smile as she looked at his teddy-bear face. All the other members of the crew greeted her.

Hazel decided she had to get right to the point before the vision escaped her mind.

"So I had this really weird dream last night-" she began but was instantly cut off by mutters and grimaces. All the demigods knew how horrible dreams could be. "I saw a lot of bright colored lights coming out of pointy sticks, a ... how do I put this... interesting looking creature, and a man with a horrible snake face and red eyes."

"Wait," Leo said. "So was this guy like, a snake man? 'Cause that sounds ridiculous!"

"No, Leo. He was not a snake man. He was really pale and his nose was just a slit and he had red snake eyes and... ugh!" Hazel shuddered.

"But he could totally be considered a snake man!" Leo argued. "I mean, admit it, he looks like a snake and he's a man. See? Snake man!"

"Red eyes… pale face, slit nose," Annabeth mused as she took a bite of Piper's waffle. "He sounds like a monster, but I've never heard of anything like that in the Greek myths. What did the other creature look like?"

"It was wearing a funny little hat on its head. It had very large ears and eyes, and it was really pale and wrinkly. It also had on a pillowcase and two mismatching socks," Hazel replied.

"That one doesn't sound like a monster, but I've still never heard of it. I wish I still had my laptop!" Annabeth said, sounding frustrated. The waffle was getting ripped to shreds in the twisting and turning mess that was Annabeth's hands. Hazel could tell she was thinking about how the special laptop Daedalus gave her fell into the worst place on, above, or below Earth: Tartarus. Percy reached for her hand and met her eyes, saving both the waffle and Annabeth from breaking down.

Jason asked everybody what the dream meant. Nobody answered. Finally, Frank spoke up.

"Maybe we should just… see where this takes us," he said, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.

"That sounds good. I just hope we don't get sidetracked. We have enough trouble as it is," Hazel smiled warmly up at Frank.

Yay! Line Break! Rainbows! Pink fluffy Unicorns! Awesomeness!

Hazel couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning, hoping that the nightmare wouldn't come back. As she stared up at the specially programmed stars, she decided to just let it go and eventually drifted off. Little did she know something similar was happening in a very different place...
