Hello everybody! I decided to take my chances and make a Harry Potter-Percy Jackson crossover. I know there ar already too many fine stories with this theme but not many have used OC's for the job. So when you see something like this it means that the person is speaking in modern or ancient greek. Now I could have written the entire dialogues in actual Greek but that would be to tiresome for those of you who don't know the language. For the gew phrases that are in Greek in this chapter I will have a translation at the end of the chapter. So enjoy this first chapter and share with me your thoughts, good or bad. R&R.

At this point most of you will think: Great! Another demigod story! Sad family issues, run away from home, serious case of ADHD, dyslexia, never actually fitted in anywhere and finally you came across this thing called luck and you got to go to Camp Half-blood in one piece, Right? Nope! Wrong! My name is Sofia Kargakos and this is my story.

I'm a daughter of Apollo, God of the sun, music, medicine, foresight and not exactly a father's role model, but I guess it can't be helped. He is, after all, a young god and there's the stupid law! I wonder who created it in the first place and how come the Gods accepted it.

Ok, I should probably stop this line of thought here or I might get blasted into tiny little pieces before you get to listen to my story - I'm guessing that, if you bothered to look into this in the first place, you're interested.

So let me give you a briefing of my life so far, 'cause if I were to actually get into details it would take us a pretty big space and time before we actually get into my biggest trouble yet to come.

Seeing as you already know my name and lineage, let's get to my mortal side of the family. My mother's a Spartan and I have a sister three years younger than me, and that would make her 15, while I'm currently 18. I was born and currently living in the suburbs of Athens, by the sea. I also have a step dad, Nikos, who would actually be my father if Apollo hadn't decided to hit on my mother by transforming himself into Nikos, while my parents were dating at University. As you can understand I don't have dyslexia, since my native language is Greek, and I have a light case of ADHD that I have control of most of the time. I was a normal kid until I graduated High school and went on a field trip with my family to mount Parnitha where we got on the nerves of a Minotaur! Thank the Gods we were saved by Chiron who turned out was keeping an eye on me when he accidentally saw me while he was on vacation. It took a little persuasion but my parents allowed me to go to Camp where I had the time of my life, until I met Clarisse and got my first quest. That's when my problems began. I got bullied a lot and then I nearly died during Capture the Flag against the Hunters of Artemis. We actually won the game thanks to Leonidas but I got turned into a big white wolf so that I could live. I spent almost all my summer with the Hunters where I learned to control my powers and then I was allowed to return in human form thanks to a silver necklace of a howling wolf.

Ah, right, I haven't told, you have I? I am the only child of Apollo that has Photokinesis. I guess that explains why I'm not gifted with a good voice or excellent music or poetic skills. I have a big imagination though and I can write fairly well. I also take music lessons from my siblings and they can tolerate me now. But I'm starting to get off topic. My first quest had a prophecy like this:

"Lion and wolf must travel north

To where the clear-sights have forgot.

Their power will be tested

In the war long unsettled

Retriever of the Hallows, Savior of the Deer

At Lightning's home shall face the fear

In the end only one will see a safe return"

So basically me and Leonidas, another Spartan Greek son of Ares, god of War, ended up in the middle of a wizard war that had began like what? Twenty years ago? Something like that and we had to fight in it to get away! Originally we were only to save Artemis' deer, you know, the one with the golden horns and such, which was abducted by some dark wizards that were working for a maniac. Then I got stuck to an "errand" for Hades. Thanatos had given three wizards some items of power over him and they'd like them back, but the thing was that the wizards were also after those items and so we got involved in their war. We got out of there alive, thank the Gods! but with a few scars to remember what had happened. Oh well, I can't complain since after that the two of us became a couple. I was really happy until the summer came when I couldn't go to Camp because I had to prepare for my exams. See, in Greece we have this system that at our final year in college we have to take a nationwide written exam in six different subjects and according to our score we get to certain Universities. That meant that we had to prepare from the previous year so that, next year, we could have as many chances as we can get to have a high score. And let me tell you right now! ! I spend a year and a half sitting on my desk, locked up in the house studying! I am a good student and one of the top in my year but not even an Athena kid would be able to stand that!

But enough complaining about the past, let us come back into the present. It's finally summer time! The exams are far behind us and all that matters is what are we going to do on holidays and –at least for my friends- What are we going to wear at our graduation party.

That's where I and Maria, my sister, are going. At my college, that is in a very convenient walking distance. We had a bag full of Sprites and "Speedy Gonzales" each. For those of you who wonder what exactly is "Speedy Gonzales" if not the very well known Mexican mouse, that's the name of a recipe my dad had come up with when we wanted something spicy and it's actually something like homemade Doritos. Being loyal to my principals I wore tight white jeans, grey All-star with purple flower designs and a short light blue top that exposed both my back and most of my torso. At first I was hesitating to wear that but then I figured that none of my friends could see the three white lines running down from my left side to my bellybutton, courtesy of a huge Hellhound that I fought during my quest. Probably a Mist thing, so it doesn't matter. Of course I wasn't wearing make up, my light brown hair were in a careful French plait and the only jewelry was a Dolphin earring that was clipped on my right ear, at its top, and my Camp bead bracelet that also held my bow, concealed in its blazing golden sun form. My moto is always "If it ain't comfortable, don't wear it!" So I stick with jeans, don't really wear dresses or skirts and high heels are out of the question! I knew I was going to stand out since all the rest of the female students were going to spend their day doing their hair choosing dresses that were too impressive, wearing so much make up that you wouldn't actually be able to see their skin and they wouldn't be able to walk on their high heels. To be honest with you, I couldn't care less! I was too lazy to have an extreme make over and spent my day at the beach instead, trying to get a tan and swimming to get the mold out of my joints. I was going to the party to have a good time and, if I was to spend the night standing and dancing, I had to at least be comfortable. Maria had followed pretty much my example too. She didn't care much of what she was going to wear. She was still in High school and this was a College senior party. That didn't really matter though since both schools were at the same building. I knew that mom and dad, a.k.a Nikos, were going to drop by later for a short walk and then leave. The party was, after all, being held by the teachers to congratulate us for graduating and that meant speeches. That was going to be the boring part, but it was also the smallest.

We left our bags to Varvara that was in charge of the school's canteen and was also going to make the buffet out of the food and drinks the students were bringing. The whole "ceremony" was going to be at the schoolyard so we headed that way. At one end of the basketball court they had a small stage with drums, microphones and Woofers. Several rows of folding chairs were lined facing the stage and across the bleachers they had put a table that held our "awards". All in all, the yard was turned into a stage for the well known parents of students to show off their social status. That didn't matter to me or most of the kids though. We were just going to have a hell of a time after that nightmare called "Panellinies"! Some of my classmates were already sitting by the bleachers and were waiting for the whole thing to begin. I bet that if Aphrodite was watching this, she would be cursing herself for not being able to interfere too much into mortal affairs. And, seriously, right now I wished she could do something.

The thing with my town and its teenagers is that they never know when they have gone too far. I spotted my friends as a small patch of modest blockbuster dresses and makeup in a wave of grant adornments. The guys, on the other hand, were a different story. They were all in similar jeans, shorts, runner shoes and T-shirts or regular summer shirts. I bet they didn't even need more than five minutes to find their clothes and get dressed. The hair was another story. I wonder how many hours they spend in front of their mirrors, adding several tons of jell, and how many of them asked their mothers to do their hairstyle in the end! They had each a different extreme, in one way or another, hairstyle. My sister met up with some classmates that had come to watch the "ceremony". I sat on the bleachers with my friends and after the Headmistress somewhat ordered silence, along with the teachers, the whole thing began.

We started off with several speeches of how much our lives are about to change, the important decisions that are ahead that shouldn't stop us from moving forward, towards a bright future, How everyone in our country expected from us, the younger generation, to take over and correct the mistakes our parents and grandparents had made… After ten minutes top, they had lost our attention and at the bleachers there was so much noise and laughter that they were forced to end them quickly. So they started calling our names so we could take our awards from the Mayor, the Headmistress and some other important people of the community. It would take a long time to finish if so many people weren't there. Most of the kids were going to come after the awards and before the school bands begin to play. That was the highlight of the party after all. "The Orcs" were going to sing some really silly and yet out of our college life songs, while the "Mindustry" were just going to show off again. But anyway, I was called among the last students –being awarded by the Deputy Mayor- and the classic applause was heard among with the "Bravo!" of Xrisa and some whistling from the boys. Wait a minute! Did I just think boys? None of the boys from the school would whistle like that for me and Fotini wasn't a friend of mine so she wouldn't do that either. Then who?

I spun on my heels and behind my friends another group was added. My face light up. Behind them, in summer outfits, stood Leo and my favorite siblings, Will, Justin, Michael, Angelica and Nora! I would laugh with the faces of my classmates and friends if I wasn't so stunned to see them, grinning like an idiot.

- SURPRISE! They yelled at me in sync.

- Hey you guys! Why didn't you tell me you were coming? When did you arrive? I hugged them one after the other.

- That's why it's called a surprise dummy! Nora answered as she hugged me back. Well, she had a point and I was too happy and excited to argue. But then something didn't seem right.

- Will, shouldn't you be at Camp? He was our Counselor after all.

- Last year was my final. Kayla is now in charge, but I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you and I didn't want you to go to Camp and find out I left. So I decided to come here. He flashed a smile at me.

- And we tagged along! Nora said trapping my two younger siblings, Michael and Justin, under her arms, grinning. Now they had called the last student and "The Orcs" were getting ready to perform.

- Is that all I get? A hug? Leo asked then with a cheeky smile. For a son of Ares he had so many aspects other than that of a warrior. That was one of the things I loved about him.

- Hm, let me think…. I tapped my chin thoughtfully.

- Ρε φίλα το εκεί πέρα το παιδί!(1) Myrto shouted and pushed me in his arms. My siblings and he tried not to smile too much since they could understand her perfectly well.

- Looks like the people decided to give you this! I kissed him and they erupted in cheers. And when he kissed me back it was absolutely chaotic! My classmates thought this was quite an accomplishment for me and they were right. As far as they knew I was a bookworm that was hard to get a boyfriend because I had never tried. I didn't care for all they knew me. But that was before the monsters and the quest.

- Alright you got what you wanted… I broke apart from him.

- For now! He added

-…for now… Wait! What? I glared at him. He laughed. Damn! It was hard to scare a son of Ares.

- Stop messing with my head Leo! Let me introduce you to my friends. Girls this is Will, Justin, Michael, Angelica and Nora. And I guess you met my stupid of a boyfriend, Leonidas. I pointed at each of them respectively.

- Γιατί μωρέ το λες έτσι το παιδί;(2) Zoe defended him.

- Ξέρω τι λέω!(3) Guys … and Ladies! I quickly added after and indignant "HEY!" from Nora. She smiled satisfied at that.

- I should have said Lady, 'cause there are some who question you Nora from Cabin 10! As soon as I said that I ducked for all my life was worth. Nora's punch missed by a hair.

- Alright! Alright! Let me introduce you and you can kill me later ok?! Jeez! I protested. She crossed her arms on her chest, huffing. The thing with Nora is that she likes Hard rock and Heavy metal and she dresses accordingly and that draw Drew's attention to her. The daughter of Aphrodite was well known for her believes on womanliness. That's all I'm going to say.

- So everyone meet Zoe, Xrisa, Myrto and Joanna. I finished the introductions and we moved to a better spot so we could watch the show.

Oddly enough we managed to get a good spot to watch our previous Headmaster's face getting red when he heard the lyrics of the first song: "Ο γλυκός γοριλοχιμπαντζής μας, ο διευθυντής μας!"(4) Probably it was because all of our classmates practically shouted that part of the song rather than singing it. He seemed to have fun though, having a song written for him. It was fun. "The Orcs" only played four songs and those weren't particularly big. But those were what were going to remain in our school's history since they all talked about our school years. "Our Headmaster", was about his term of office at our school when we were at our second year in college. "The Dafiada" was about one of my classmate's ridiculous behavior at that very year and the other two I'm going to leave out due to censoring…

- They're way off key! But the lyrics are… interesting! Nora commented with her ears blocked, trying to ease the pain from the cacophony. Being a Daughter of Apollo meant you had extremely sensitive ears to music and art in general. Although my father's poetic skills have a lot of room for talking.

- They're not exaggerating at all though. All the things they tell about him are true. She looked at me like if I was going mad. She couldn't believe that a boy could be acting like this an entire year and no one tried to stop him.

- You're joking! Justin said not wanting to believe it.

- Do I look like I am? I asked back.

- And who's that trouble minded freak? She asked out of curiosity. I looked through the crowd to find him.

- There! See that fat guy over there? I pointed to his general direction.

- Well that explains a lot! She murmured taking a good look at him. As soon as "The Orcs" were done, it was time for the "Mindustry" but we didn't pay much attention to them. Even though their performance was technically good, they lacked originality and that was the strong aspect of "The Orcs".

Soon the buffet opened and everybody crowded inside the building to make sure they would get something to eat before everyone else. It was already ten o'clock and we were at school for about two hours so far. They were going to bring a DJ in an hour or so. Right now however, Myrto and I were at the buffet, making sure to get our group some food and my siblings were outside. I hadn't noticed but it was silent for a while and I wondered if my father had decided to spare us from the "Mindustry". Then I heard a very familiar intro. "Make a Move". When we got out holding a few stuffed plates each, I saw Nora singing and dancing, giving a show with a borrowed guitar. Justin was at his rightful place playing the drums, Michael was playing the bass and Will was behind the keyboards. Naturally the crowd gathered to hear them play. The applause was epic.

They wanted more and Angelica obliged. She took her electric violin out of its case and started to play. I wondered how I haven't seen it until now, but it didn't matter. I had to hide among the crowd. I tried… but no such luck. Leo saw me just in time and pushed me forward. I glared at him and I started singing the "Fight Forever". At first my classmates were stunned. Thankfully it wasn't because of my voice. My voice was decent for a mortal but mediocre to bad for a child of Apollo. No, it was because I actually got to sing in front of a crowd and it wasn't like the me they were used to. After a round of applause at the end of the song, Justin took the microphone from me. - And now dudes and chicks! He winked towards Elina and her friends, giving them his player smile. A song that will speak to your hearts this summer: "The Lazy Song"! He presented with an act.

- I know it speaks to your heart everyday! I murmured playfully but he brushed me off as he played the drums.

"Today I don't feel like doing anything.

I just wanna lay in my bed!..."

When the DJ started his program there was a long awkward moment of who was going to be then first one to step on the floor and start dancing. The first tracks were pop and R&B songs, which gave Xristos the opportunity to start first and show off with his break dancing. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't a bad dancer but his level wasn't good enough to justify the smug look on his face. Then, as the track was finishing, he made a futile mistake. He ended his move with a challenge towards the boys of my group, looking Leo straight in the eyes.

- Ε! Χρήστο!(5) I shouted to him when Leo got to the middle of the yard- dance floor. He looked at me quizzically.

-Είσαι χαμένος από χέρι!(6) There was no way he was going to beat Leo in a dance fight. He was a pro at parkour and free running. He said that it helped him a lot in his fights and it saved our lives a couple of times. I had him teach me some techniques and in return I had helped him be more creative. So yeah, no way… No need to tell you he beat him without breaking a sweat. His moves were so impressive because it looked like he was defining gravity. He had the strength to do that. As the song was ending he finished his moves with a backside flip and a twist in the air, landing right in front of me. If this was a competition I would have given him a ten for this landing. But I was his girlfriend and so my opinion didn't count for much.

- Beat me if you have the guts! He challenged me with a smile that made my heart melt.

- I do these kind of things with your sister, thank you very much! Just dance with me! I told him and he took me to the dance floor. I glanced around to see who else was dancing. I spotted Myrto, Xrisa and Angelica dancing together, Justin was hitting on Elina and Michael was trying to persuade Maria to dance with him with no luck. My sister rarely danced and there were too many people around. She was getting easily embarrassed. Just like I was used to before I got to Camp. We left from the school at about 01:00, along with several other students. Will had rent a car, but Leo had borrowed my dad's motorcycle.

From the looks of it they had already arranged to stay at our house for a few days before we all went to Camp. So while the rest tried to fit in the car, I and Leo took off. We met them at the house, where luckily my parents had made the couch into a twin bed and some air-mattresses. We let the boys sleep in the living room, while we, the girls, were going to sleep at my room, the one I shared with Maria.

In the morning, our kitchen finally experienced true havoc. With seven extremely hungry demigods waking at the same hour it was only natural! It was midday when we finally got out of house to give them a tour of the town. When we got back home it was dark. It was great to spend time with my siblings and boyfriend like regular kids, no monsters wanting to eat us and no training or quest. It was a time to relax. We had planned for a morning at the beach the next day, with ice cream and then have some souvlakies along with my friends and then in the evening to a movie or something. Of course, when you are a demigod, things never go as planned.

A couple of days ago, me and my sister had discovered a small beach nearby our house and it was perfect since the size was ideal for our group. It was like a private beach party. Three words for you: It was awesome! Water fights, racquetball, sunbathing, everything you needed to spent an awesome day to the beach. With one minor detail: wizards!

They appeared out of thin air surrounding the whole beach. They were aiming their wands at us and they were at least three for each of us, not counting Maria and my friends. The odds weren't in our favor. Our weapons were at the beach, along with the rest off our stuffs and we were in the water. I looked at Will who was analyzing the situation. I could try and Light travel to our things but it would be too late for us to fight. I focused on the wizards. They didn't have hoods or masks to cover their faces like those "Death eaters". They wore regular clothes or cloaks, so I figured out they were probably those that fought on the side of "Light". And then I froze. Maria, who happened to be closest to the shore and our things, made an attempt to through me my bracelet. One of the wizards spotted her and a shot of light flew from his wand and hit her. She fell to the sand and she didn't move. Anger started boiling inside of me.

- Do not resist! You're coming with us! A man with dark complexion and a deep voice ordered us. He was definitely the leader. My friends were frozen from fear. Now I could barely control my rage. Will began to step out of the water, moving slowly and calmly. He nodded, urging us to follow his example. One of the wizards approached Maria as the boys were nearly out of the water. I exploded. I shot an arrow made out of light, creating a patch of melting sand between him and my sister. He looked in terror at me. My bow was made out of light and my eyes shined gold in the light as I was now aiming straight at him.

- Touch her and you will be incinerated where you stand! I growled at him. My instincts had taken over, urging me to move. I dived underwater just in time to avoid several spells that hit the space I was standing mere seconds ago. I flashed myself next to our stuffs and threw Leo his sword and gave Justin his own. Will had already his bow and was firing arrows at the wizards. Nora and Angelica were protecting my friends from the enemy's spells with their shields. I lunged on the nearest wizard and stabbed my silver dagger in his leg, snatching his wand away as he grabbed it, yelling in pain. When that happened they decided to retreat and they disappeared in thin air. When we counted heads, though, something was terribly wrong.

Michael was frozen in place, holding his magic i-pod and Maria was missing!

- What the Hades just happened? Nora asked, hurrying to Michael.

- Stop shouting Nora. You want the entire town to notice us? Will commanded calmly. He helped the girls get out of the water.

- Wizards. They found us! I need to check on my parents! I told them, panic starting to built inside of me. What if Maria wasn't the only one they had taken? I flashed myself in the middle of our living room, startling my dad.

- Dad? Where's mom? I asked him in panic.

- I'm in the kitchen Sofia! She shouted from the next room. I let out a small sigh of relief.

- What's wrong? Nicos inquired.

- We might have to leave the house. I told them quickly and checked outside the window to see my friends passing by like nothing had happened, but they were one short. Zoe wasn't with them.

- Sofia? My mother asked worried. I turned away.

- We got attacked… Maria was taken. I told them, staring at the floor tiles. Too ashamed and angered to look them in the eyes.

- What? They asked in unison. I didn't stay to answer. I run to my room and took a drachma out of my pouch. I went straight to the kitchen were I created a small rainbow. "O Iris, Goddess of the rainbow, please except my offering. Show me Chiron!" I tossed the coin and the image shimmered. It was night at the Camp and Chiron was sitting at the head table in the dinning pavilion, having dinner.

- Chiron! I shouted to be heard over the conversations of the campers. When he noticed me he smiled, pleasantly surprised.

- Ah, Sofia! Having a good time with your siblings I trust?

- We did until ten minutes ago! I told him angry. He frowned and I noticed that there was silence as the campers were trying to listen.

- What's wrong? He moved away from the pavilion so we could talk in private.

- We were attacked by wizards. I don't know how they found us, but they got my sister and Michael has been turned to stone. We were ambushed at the beach. I explained quickly.

- Where are you now?

- At home, checking on my parents. Will and the others must come back from the beach any minute now. Will took care of my friends using the Mist… Chiron, I'm worried about my family's safety. I was begging to glow out of control.

- Alright, now calm down! He raised his hand to his eyes and I forced myself to make the light die out.

- I will see what I can do about your family but the rest of you are to come to Camp tonight. Is that understood? He ordered. I nodded grimly.

- Good. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news. He waved his hand through the image, breaking the connection. Then I heard the door closing and my siblings came into view. But they weren't alone. Zoe was with them, looking lost and shaken. I motioned for Will and Leo to bring Michael to my room and closed the curtains. They placed him in next to the beds. I gave Angelica a look, demanding to know what was Zoe doing here when clearly the rest of my friends had forgot of the incident.

- Ok, Cabin meeting everyone! Will called and we formed a circle, sitting on the beds, the floor, the desks. We waited for him to start talking; he was, after all, the eldest camper amongst us.

- First of all, does Chiron know what happened?

- I just contacted him. He says he wants us back to Camp by tonight. I asked him to move my parents somewhere safe. He will contact us later. I said. He nodded.

- Good. I used the Mist so your friends think that Maria left early to go home and the attack never happened. However … He glanced at Zoe thoughtfully.

- It didn't work on her did it? I asked almost begging that that wasn't the case. He didn't answer. He just sent me a look.

- Oh Gods no!

1: Hey! You gotta kiss the kid now!

2: Why are you calling him that?

3: I know what I'm talking about.

4: "Our sweet gorilachimpangee, our Headmaster!" This is a literal translation and in Greek it rhymes perfectly.

5: Hey! Christos!

6: You're soo not going to win this!
