Hello people, it is me again, and yes, it is another story, only, this time, it is a, adopted piece from HebrewShira so, technically, this is their story with a few little adjustments of my own. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Disclaimer all rights go to J.k Rowling and Rick Riordan
All was quiet in the shaded valley that housed camp half-blood. For once there were no dragon attacks or sudden sieges to send the young inhabitants scurry around to plan attacks or gather weapons. Instead, there were 2 teens dashing back and forwards on the basket ball court, both of them breathing heavily.
The son of Jupiter doubled over, trying to protect the ball from the girl beside him, though he should have known that it was a futile effort as this was no ordinary opponent.
"Drop the ball Jason."
The daughter of Aphrodite all but sang these words as she smiled sweetly at the boy before her, turning the full force of her inherent beauty upon him. For a split second, the light behind the boy's eyes seemed to dim slightly and, although this sudden daze did not last long, it was enough time for the girl to steal the ball from his slack grip and run half way down the court. Scowling slightly at the ground he sprinted off after her.
"HEY! No fair, you can't use charmspeak!" he yelled across the empty space making her smirk and turn back to him, raising an eyebrow as laughter danced behind her eyes.
"Oh?" She quirked an eyebrow, "I think I just did."
Letting loose a low growl in the back of his throat, the blond haired boy pounced on her, sending them both crashing to the floor in a mess of tangled limbs and giggling. Over in the bushes behind them, there was the sound of scuffling and Piper noticed some of her siblings hiding there. Sighing slightly, she smiled sweetly once again when she thought up a cunning plan.
"Kiss me?"
The sheer innocence in the girl's voice took Jason back a bit at that, but then he noticed the giggling from the foliage and he smirked once again, catching on.
"Is that charmspeak or what, because I'm pretty tempted to."
When he finished the sentence there was the sound of fake retching behind them as one of the Aphrodite guys mimed being sick, but it only made the two of them smile or the brighter as they fought to keep back their laughter.
"Gods Jason," Piper laughed, "That was the worst pickup line ever!"
Shrugging slightly in a 'what- you-gonna-do' gesture, he leaned closer to her face, smiling devilishly down at her as his hands made their way to her face.
"I guess, but do I still get a kiss beauty queen?"
She pouted slightly at the use of Leo's nickname for her, but she decided to disregard it. She didn't know for certain, but it may have been for the fact that his mouth was very close to hers right now and she could feel his still slightly labored breathing on her face. Still, that was no reason to let the matter go entirely.
"I guess so sparky."
The roman raised an eyebrow at the use of his least favourite nickname, but he didn't really have a leg to stand on in that argument so he just shrugged once again and closed the distance between them, pressing their lips together in a soft, sweet kiss. However, for a demigod, it is like an unwritten rule that you cannot have too long a period of happiness, and before long, they heard an all too familiar voice yelling at them from across the field.
"Oy, cupcakes break it up!"
Muttering under their breath about meddling satyrs, the two of them quickly untangled themselves and regained their feet in time to see their portly, middle aged coach closing the last few meters between them, though the effort seemed to make him pant slightly. Unfortunately however, this was one of the few places where Coach Hedge didn't need to hide his shaggy hind quarters from the world something that he took full advantage of, mores the pity to anyone who had even a miniscule sense of beauty.
As soon as he reached the couple, he glared up at them, just like he had when they were still at the school where he was working undercover to find demigods.
"Chiron wants you at the big house, NOW!"
And then, with one last glare, he was off, leaving no room for argument or question. Sighing slightly, Jason turned back to his girlfriend, running a hand through his short blond hair as he glanced over to the afore mentioned building.
"Must be something important for him to want both of us." He offered Piper his hand, which she gratefully accepted, only to pull him down onto the floor yet again as she danced away, sticking her tongue out at him.
"So, let's get there quickly."
And with one last smirk down to where he lay on the ground, she set off running towards the farm house, only stopping a good 50 yards away to call over her shoulder "Race you to the big house."
Shaking his head slightly to himself, the son of Jupiter pulled himself to his feet and headed off after her.
************I AM A STAR LINE BREAK, PLEASE DO NOT KILL ME************
Just as Jason had predicted, when the two of them arrived, it was to find all of the senior campers gathered around the meeting table in the rec room. Sending each other a nervous glance, they quickly took their places. Yes, this was something important.
Ignoring the empty cans of cheese wiz on the table (and the fact that a certain middle aged satyr was already chewing on one of them) they looked across to Chiron who nodded once to acknowledge their arrival before turning to the group as a whole.
"Now that Ms. Mclean and Mr. Grace have decided to show up, I would like to start the meeting."
Jason and Piper looked down at this, feeling like children caught with their hands in the cookie jar, something that only seemed to make the jittery son of the blacksmith smile wider. Even as Chiron began to detail he reasons behind the meeting, Leo leaned over to Jason, badly concealed laughter bleeding into ever word of his whispered comment.
"Would you like to tell me why you were late to this meeting?"
He accompanied his question with a really suggestive look and waggling of eyebrows that made the daughter of Aphrodite blush bright scarlet and Jason sigh in exasperation.
"It wasn't like that Leo." Jason could feel his face heating up too so he quickly tuned back in to what the old centaur was saying, trying desperately to ignore the quiet snickering from all around him.
"Do you all remember how you reacted when you found out about the world of gods and demigods?" the head counselors all nodded, "I assume you reacted similarly when you found out about the Romans. So would it surprise you if there were other groups of powerful people out there?" A few of the heads nodded but most just looked at Chiron in anticipation, "There are a group of mortals with special powers. The gods have the ability to bless mortals with these powers."
At this, Annabeth from the Athena cabin spoke up, her voice filled with a sharp curiosity that added a hard glint to her eyes. "Like when Poseidon blessed one of the Argonauts with the power of shape shifting?"
Chiron nodded and paused for a moment as though trying to figure out how to carry on with this train of thought. He had the attention of all the teens now, he just had to make sure that they didn't do something stupid, like declare war on this new group of mortals.
"Mortals that have been blessed by gods do not always know it was gods who blessed them, but they are given slight powers that are transferred through offspring for generations. Centuries ago, Hecate blessed a group of mortals with magic. These witches and wizards formed their own magical societies around the world. To this day Hecate selects a few babies to bless with her powers. Four of the most powerful witches and wizards founded a school of magic called Hogwarts," There were a few snickers at this name, but Chiron pressed on as though he hadn't heard them. "But one of the attending students turned bad. This man has evaded death and is wreaking havoc on the wizarding and mortal worlds alike."
At this, the atmosphere in the room instantly changed from one of easy going laziness to the intense concentration that was normally only seen in a war council, which may well have been what it had become for all they knew. From the looks on their faces, many campers looked as though they wanted to protest so the centaur pressed on quickly, trying to give them all the information before the storm broke.
"A good friend of mine, a blessed son of Athena, has asked for powerful help in defeating this wizard. He is currently headmaster of Hogwarts, so you will attend the school as a front. I am not sure what this quest may require of you, but I know you will be fighting with a group called The Order of the Phoenix. Are there any volunteers?"
As always when such questions were asked, the statement was soon followed by quick glances around the room as people tried to decided whether they wanted to stay or go. For a few moments, no one moved but then, rather calmly regarding the situation at hand, Lou Ellen, the head councilor for the Hecate cabin raised her hand.
"I will go, they are my mother's people after all."
Chiron smiled down at her, looking more than slightly relieved, and, in fact he was, he had been hoping for the girl to take up the mantle on this quest. "Perfect, as you already have magical talents you will fit in nicely."
So that was one person sorted, but figuring out who else would go was a little bit harder. Leo was definitely out of the question as he was a vital component in the construction of the Argo II and Annabeth refused point blank to give up on the search for her missing boyfriend. Piper's authority with the Aphrodite cabin was still a little rocky so she could not really afford to leave right now, and no one wanted to imagine what trouble the Stoll brothers would get up to in a magical school… in the end, only Nico Di Angelo and Jason had no excuse as to why they couldn't go.
The son of Hades claimed that he would go only because this dark wizard had avoided his father for too long, and it was about time that he was brought to justice, Jason went, only because he couldn't think up a convincing enough lie fast enough, though he told the others that we would go because it was the right thing to do. At this sudden declaration, Piper sent a concerned look in his direction, but said nothing more on the subject so Chiron deemed it time to end the meeting. He bid all the other leaders to leave, and, when they had all finally trickled out, he turned back to the 3 remaining demigods.
"You will leave for London in a day's time. I have books here for you to study about the magical world. Each of you will need an explanation as for why you are going to Hogwarts. They mustn't know your identities. Only those in the Order of the Phoenix will. Lou, as you are already magical it should be safe to say that you are a transfer student from the Salem Witch Institution" she nodded affirmative. "Nico, we can pass you off as a powerful necromancer." Nico grinned wildly. "Hmmm, and Jason, that means you will have to pose as a student teacher. My friend specifically asked for someone to teach physical combat."
Jason looked a little shocked at the thought, after all, if they could fight with magic, why would they need to learn physical combat? But he nodded anyway, and Chiron turned his rather gave smile back to all of them.
"I suggest you get to work. You leave at 10:00 am tomorrow. Oh, and so you know, my friend goes by the name of Albus Dumbledore."
There you go, I ended up altering that a lot more than I had intended to… sorry Shira… anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and if you want me to do the normal 20 questions thing, just drop me a request for a subject to do it on! Chaio
