Sorry for any typos and misspelling of Professor's names. I don't know if this will even get uploaded, as I'm on mobile.
I don't own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olymus, if I did I wouldn't be writing on here.
Enjoy!
Percy's POV
I woke up to pounding on my door.
"Percy, wake up!" I heard Annabeth yell. I stumbled out of bed, panicking. I grabbed Riptide from my nightstand, unhooked my second wristwatch shield off of the wall, and swung open the door.
Annabeth looked from the shield, to my clothes and back up to me.
"It's just a meeting," she muttered.
I grinned sheepishly and blushed.
"You scared me! I was having my first good dream in like, months!"
Annabeth smiled guiltily. "Sorry, but honestly, you sleep like a rock."
I grinned and wriggled my fingers in her face. "That, my dear, is because I retook the blessing of Achilles."
Annabeth rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," she said. "Just don't swim in anymore roman rivers. Get dressed and be at the big house in five minutes." She smirked, and left. I looked at my clothes. I was wearing the pajama bottoms that I managed to get from our last long term quest, when we're on the Argo II, (long story) they were blue with cartoon Minotaurs, Furies, Hydras, and Dracaena. I also had the cotton shirt that Calypso gave me during the quest in the labyrinth. Amazingly, the pocket still had the faintest trace of moon lace. I changed into a pair of jeans, and grabbed an orange CHB t-shirt, sniffed it to make sure it was clean, and shrugged it on. Making sure I had riptide and my watch on my wrist, I walked out to the big house, greeting Lady Hestia on the way.
Walking into the rec room, I saw Annabeth, Piper and Thalia talking in the corner, and Chiron, in wheelchair form.
"Ah, Percy! Right on time. We still need to wait for Leo, and I sent Mrs. O'Leary for Nico." Chiron greeted. I grabbed a few crackers and sat down, remembering that the last meeting I attended here was when I read the first Great Prophecy about me. Just then, Leo burst in, followed by Nico.
"HEY!" Leo called. "Someone called Team Leo?" He gestured between him and Nico.
Nico glared at him. "I am not, on team Leo."
"Yeah, whatever," Leo waved. "So, Chiron, what's this about?"
Chiron smiled fondly. "As you all know, there are many ways we use magic. In weapons, automations, the like. But, there is another way of using magic, using wands. People who use this magic are called Witches and Wizards, and are much like the children of Hecate." He paused, waiting for our reactions. I was confused, but my life being as weird as it is, I wasn't surprised. Nico, looked unfazed, bored even. A ghost probably told him. Annabeth began protesting.
"But... Chiron, that's impossible! If-"
"It's not impossible, Annabeth," Chiron said gently. "It's very possible. Long long ago, Hecate blessed a certain group of people with the gift of magic. T-"
"Those who's family tree are made up of only wizards, call themselves purebloods," Nico interrupted.
"Each year Hecate blesses an amount of children with magic, called muggle borns. If a witch or wizards parents are a muggleborn and a pure blood, then they're a half-blood."
"How'd you know all that?" Thalia demanded. Nico shrugged.
"I'm the Ghost King," he said nonchalantly. "I hear things,"
Thalia rolled her eyes.
"Why are you telling us this, Chiron?" Piper asked tentatively.
"Because, my good friend Albus Dumbledore has asked me to send help with their own war against a dark wizard, named Voldemort. I am sending you seven, to aid in the war. You'll go to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry in Scotland. Jason and Hazel wish to remain at Camp Jupiter, but will visit from time to time. Frank, on the other hand, is coming along. Due to his powers I feel that he'll be a great help. You'll be leaving after lunch this afternoon."
"How are we getting there, if its over the ocean?" I asked. After a pause, I asked, "Scotland's over the ocean, right?"
Thalia rolled her eyes. "Duh, Kelp face!"
Chiron chuckled. "Annabeth, Piper, Thalia and Leo, you'll be taking a Pegasus with you. Nico will shadow travel. Percy, you have three options. You could take Blackjack, a hippocampus, or, as your father as asked me to, I could teach you water traveling."
I thought for a second. If I rode Blackjack, I'd be with my friends. If I rode a hippocampus, I'd be in the comfort of my dad's domain. But water travel... Man, that sounded cool.
"What's water travel?" I asked.
"It's similar to Shadow Traveling, but using water, and instead of a rushing, cold feeling, you're unable to breathe and you feel compression all over your body, all of which goes away once you reach your destination, all in about five seconds." He explained.
After thinking, I figured I should learn anyways, so I agreed to water traveling.
"Alright! Meeting dismissed, start getting ready! Percy, come with me. You am Nico will be leaving thirty minutes after the others, at 12." Chiron concluded.
"Percy, come with me to the beach." He tossed me onto his back and galloped to the beach.
"Now, All you have to do, is summon a tornado, think strongly of your destination, step into the twister and imagine yourself moving to the place you wish to arrive at. Now, do this and try moving ten feet away from the shore."
I waved my hand and easily bent the water to my will, and twirled a finger. The water moved to my command, twisting into a powerful tornado. I stepped in, pictured myself moving ten feet to my left. Suddenly I couldn't breathe, I felt as if someone were shrinking me into a matchbox. All I could see was water, surrounding me. My ears popped, I could breathe again, and the water receded. I looked around and saw that, I had moved about ten feet from the shore.
Chiron clapped.
"Good! Well done Percy, on your first try! Now, further places aren't any harder and they don't drain you as much, as long as you know the name of the place you're heading to, and the general picture. When going to Hogwarts, I need you to think of a town called Hogsmeade. There will be carriages for you to take. A large man, called Hagrid, can help you. Now, don't attack him, he's a friendly half-giant. Much like Mrs. O'leary."
I nodded, hoping I could remember this. Then again, I could just ask Annabeth.
"Now, Percy, go take a nap. We need you well rested. I need to talk to Leo, to see if he could disguise your friends weapons better." He winked and trotted away, leaving me to trudge back to my cabin.
I collapsed on my bunk, and dissolved into a surprisingly dreamless sleep.
I woke up to the annoying beep of my watch. It was almost 12. I rolled out of bed and fell onto the floor.
Ten minutes later I finally got up.
I smoothed out the wrinkles in my shirt. Then, on second thought, I changed into one of my CHB T-shirts that was in Greek. Better to have the mortals wonder why it was in Greek, rather than what Camp Half Blood was. I heard the conch horn as I was leaving my cabin. I met the others at the pavilion, filled my plate and burnt an offering to the gods. I started wolfing down my lunch until Annabeth reminded me that I wouldn't be leaving at 12.
Chiron told us some last minute things. "Don't blow your cover. There are a certain bunch, dubbed the Golden Trio, that you may tell if you befriend them, as long as they are trustworthy. The same goes with their friends. Also, all of the teachers know about your cover, and the Deputy Headmistress, Professor Mcgonagell, will show you an area for you to train."
"Chiron, what about our weapons?" I asked, considering the Mist only hides so much.
"Well, Leo managed to disguise your friends weapons. Wizards, are not affected by the mist anymore than you are, and the wards around the school make it completely ineffective."
I looked at Nico. He held out his hand, revealing a black chain bracelet, with squares of obsidian in between the chains.
"Wicked, huh? The chain's Stygian iron." I grinned, knowing that only Nico would wear goth jewelry. Except maybe Thalia.
Piper whipped out a tiny hand mirror before I could ask.
"It's fitting, considering my knife was only used as a looking glass at first," she grinned. I smiled, and turned to Annabeth.
She extended her hand, where an owl ring rested on her first finger. She tapped it, and from the ring sprung her dagger. She tapped the owl at the base, and it turned back into a ring. Then, she pulled out a necklace from under her shirt. It had a silver chain, and a thin square of silver with a green delta hanging from it. She tapped it, and Daedalus's laptop sprung from it in Tablet form.
I grinned. "Now all we gotta do, is make sure they don't fall into Tartarus again," I laughed.
Leo smirked. "You better! These were hard to disguise!" He showed us his toolbelt, which was now a regular belt.
I turned to Thalia. Yeah, she had her silver bracelet and Mace Canister, but what about her hunting knives and bow?
She showed us her pocket, which had been extended to hold everything.
"Now!" Chiron clapped. "You must get going! Hecate has blessed you all with magic abilities. Your wands and school things will be in your dorm when you arrive. Ah, and Percy, no spells will effect, even the killing curse, unless it hits your Achilles spot directly. If its powerful enough, it still will throw you back." I nodded. " good to know," I said, and started wolfing down my lunch again, and the others climbed aboard their Pegasi, and flew off.
I wandered around, waiting for it to be time to leave. I scaled the rock wall, played with Mrs. O'leary, and practiced my sword play until finally, it was 12:30. I made sure I had my watch and pen, and dashed to the shore. I made a tornado and stepped through.
I found my self, like Chiron said, in a town. I saw the Pegasi flying above me, getting closer until they gracefully touched down. I noticed that it was much darker here. I hadn't considered a time change. Suddenly Nico formed from the shadows, scaring us to pieces.
"We need to find... Hagrid? Is that who it was?" Piper asked. I nodded, pointed to a very tall shape surrounded by younger kids. I weaseled my way to the front.
"Hagrid? I'm one of the exchange students. I was told to come to you?" I said, in more of a question.
"Oi! You mus' be Percy, eh?" He asked, with a heavy accent. I nodded.
He pointed to one of the carriages, with skeletal horses, where three kids already sat. "They'll help yeh. 'Arry, Ron an' 'Ermione, called the golden trio these 'ays! Go on now, haven't got all day!" I hurried back to the others and pointed to the carriage. "He said he'll help us. Lets go." We managed to get there in one piece, and told the kids who we were. They must've already know about us, because the invited us in an introduced themselves. Harry was skinny, with black hair and emerald eyes. Ron had flaming red hair and blue eyes, and Hermione had bushy brown hair and brown eyes.
"Hey Kelp Face! It's your twin!" Thalia exclaimed.
"Shut it, Fleecy," I retorted.
Thalia smiled. "Fleecy?"
"Think about it."
Hermione looked between Harry and I.
"They do look alike... Green eyes, only different shades, and Harry's skinner, and Percy's more muscular... But what about your personalities?" She asked. I shrugged and looked at Annabeth.
"You two are definitely similar. Harry looks like he has to fight alot... Is that true?" Annabeth asked.
Harry looked down.
"There's a prophecy about me."
We looked at each other. We could relate to this.
Annabeth's brow furrowed. "What does it say?"
Harry sighed. "It states that the first born child of two people who had defied voldemort thrice, he'll have powers that Voldemort knows not, and one has to die."
Annabeth frowned. "What does it say exactly? This is important."
Harry recited, "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
Annabeth's head snapped up.
"When's your birthday?" She asked.
"July 31st..." Harry said carefully.
Annabeth nodded. "It's definitely you. And the power he knows not, sounds like love. That's a lot of pressure."
"Yeah," said Harry glumly. "I've got the weight if the whole world on my shoulders,"
Annabeth touched my arm.
"We can relate," she said sympathetically.
Harry looked up. "Really? How?"
"Well, we've both literally held the weight of the sky on our shoulders." I said.
Annabeth glared at me for interrupting, and I grinned. Hermione and Ron were staring at us.
A small bird landed on our carriage, causing the three to jump.
"Shoo! Shoo!" Ron yelled. The bird just glared at him. I laughed and moved over, patting the spot next to me. The bird sat in the spot and turned into Frank.
"What was that for?" He asked Ron. The trio stared at him, dumbfounded.
"You... You.. H.. How did you... What?" Hermione stuttered.
Frank rolled his eyes.
"An ability I have. I can turn into any animal. Sorry I'm late, got held up by storm spirits." He said to us. "Hi, I'm Frank." He said to them. They took a while to answer, Ron and Hermione staring in wonder.
Frank sighed. "Kay so one of my ancestors was a shapeshifter and he passed it down though my family. I'm the the last known shapeshifter in my family. Oh and because of this I'm related to Percy,"
Hermione looked shocked, but I just smiled.
"We're all related to each other in someway, but Frank's related to my dad. Thalia and Nico are my cousins, Frank and Leo are... Something like my Uncle's kids kid... Second cousin or something... Annabeth, she's my second cousin too, and Piper, now THAT'S complicated," I laughed.
"Why is it complicated... Oh." Piper trailed off, remembering what Aphrodite said about being the last offspring of Ouranos.
"I think I'm your... Great Grandfathers... Kids kid. That sounds about right!"
The three looked like their eyes were gone bulge out of their skulls, but Piper just waved casually and continued talking to Thalia, Leo and Nico.
"And I feel bad for having a big family!" Ron exclaimed.
I burst out laughing.
"Big family?! Try over two hundred kids from 7 to 19 that we're all related to in some way!"
Hermione looked affronted.
"That's... That's not possible!" She exclaimed.
"Oh yes it is!" I grinned. "Bit of a hassle, really."
"Wait. Promise you won't repeat any of this to a single soul," Annabeth said, glaring at them.
"W-we promise," they said firmly.
"Good." Annabeth's gaze softened.
A sudden movement caught our eye.
Leo pulled a small square of metal out of his tool belt, and pulled out some springs, a screwdriver and several screws, and turned the belt into a regular belt.
He pressed a few buttons on the square.
"Dang it," he said.
Hermione glared at him.
"Electricity doesn't work at Hogwarts," she snapped.
Leo grinned. "That, my friend is where you're wrong. This runs electricity-free. Just a small software problem," he said, and began taking it apart, fiddling with screws and wires.
"We'll tell you another time," I smiled.
Then I remembered the horses.
"What are those things?" I asked the three.
"They're Threshals, and they can only be seen by those who have seen death. Have you seen death?" Hermione asked.
I caught Nico's and Frank's eye and burst out laughing. I pulled myself together.
"What do you mean by death?" I asked.
"I mean, have you seen someone die?"
I thought for second. I had seen thousands of monsters get killed, but they don't die. I had, seen Zoé die, and then in the battle of the labyrinth so many of my friends died in the battle of the labyrinth and the Battle with Kronos alone, and then there was the war with Gaea, Mrs. Dirt Face herself, and I saw Thanatos, THE death. I felt tears come to my eyes and blinked them back.
"SomeONE die? Mortal please, I've seen hundreds of deaths, and death itself!" I joked.
Annabeth saw the emotion in my face and put her arm around me. She said to the three,
"We probably all can see them. I know Frank, Nico, Percy and Thalia can, and probably Piper and Leo."
"Wow," said Harry, tears in his eyes, "And I thought I had it bad, with my parents dead and watching my friend get murdered,"
I looked at him.
"Harry, death is hard. Very hard. And it doesn't get easier, whether it was your hundredth friend, or your first. But, they're in a better place. That, I know for a fact. I've even seen it, and if they were a good person, they're in a better place," I said gently.
"H-how do you know?" He choked out.
"Because we've seen it. Me, Thalia, Annabeth, and Nico all have."
Nico scoffed. "Please, I haven't seen it. I live there half the time and death is my next door neighbor!"
Before they could respond, the carriage pulled to a stop.
"We'd better get going, you need to get sorted."
"Sorted?" I asked, but they were already out of hearing range, so we had no choice but to follow, nervously looking around, as if expecting an attack.
We were stopped by an older looking woman with glasses and her hair in a bun.
"I'm Professor Mcgonagell, I need you to wait here until we call you in for you to be sorted into your houses. They are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin, alright?" We nodded, and she stepped into a hall with two huge doors in the entrance.
"What does this place remind you of?" I asked Thalia, Nico and Annabeth.
"That boarding school I went to when you found me?" Nico guessed.
"Yeah, but this place feels warmer, more welcoming." Annabeth said.
I nodded. "And, my mom didnt have to drive us here!" I laughed.
Just then, an older man with many age spots, longish hair and a long nose, holding a cat, motioned us inside. "Just walk straight forward," he growled, making the hair on my neck stand up.
As we walked to the front, I felt every eye on me. If I still was my young teenage self, this would've made me uncomfortable, but I had been in so many situations like this that were life or death, it didn't bother me.
Frank flinched, and Leo looked so excited he looked like he would burst into flames again. We reached the same Professor at the front, holding an old hat next to a stool.
"Now, when I call your name, you'll step forth and place the hat on your head." She said, and unraveled a scroll.
"Jackson, Perseus," she said.
"It's Percy," I mumbled, and sat on the stool, and dropped the hat on my head.
"Hmm... A demigod!" Said a voice inside my head. I jumped, then relaxed, realizing it was just the hat.
"Difficult indeed, your fatal flaw, loyalty, should put you in Hufflepuff, but you are, very brave, very brave, you've fought in two wars, impressive. Has the blessing of Achilles, second time! Survivor of Tartarus! Fell in with a friend, refusing to leave her? Very brave. GRYFFINDOR!"
The hat yelled last word out loud, and a table all the way to one side cheered. I looked at Professor Mcgonagell, who nodded. I slipped off and walked to the cheering table. Hermione waved me over, and I sat next to her. I turned to hear the Professor read "Grace, Thalia," I heard Thalia snap, "Just Thalia," and chuckled. The hat was placed on her head, and the look on Thalia's face told me the hat was talking about her immortality. Finally she was sorted into Gryffindor too.
After sometime, I got bored and zoned out. When I came to, only Nico was left, Leo and Piper were sitting across from me and Annabeth was in Ravenclaw.
"Di Angelo, Nico,"
The hat was placed on his head, and Nico scowled. I couldn't read his expressions, but probably had something to do with death. He was placed in Slytherin, and food appeared on the plates in front of us. I dug in and tuned into what Hermione was saying to Harry and Ron.
"I don't think we can trust Nico, after all, he's in slytherin."
I almost sprayed juice.
"Wait WHAT?! You can't trust him?!" I said. Leo, Piper and Thalia were listening now.
"We can't trust him. Everyone in slytherin is evil." Hermione explained, as if it was nothing.
Thalia glared at her. "Listen, girl. Nico is not evil. He's like a brother to me. He's very dangerous to his enemies, so don't be a threat. He's fought with us in two wars, No doubt he was placed in the house he was because of his family!" Thalia ranted.
She lowered her voice. "Do you have any idea how much suffering he's been through?" She asked, her voice a dangerous whisper.
Hermione shook her head numbly. The boys looked at her in shock.
"I-it couldn't be that bad? Could it? I mean, nothing could be so bad it changes a person, right?" Ron mumbled.
Thalia glared at him.
"I'm surprised it didn't change him!" She snapped.
"First his mom gets killed, and his memories erased. Then, he's sent to a military school where he almost gets killed, he goes to a camp where he's safe, then, his sister gets killed, he lives on the run for a few years, fights in a battle, then fights in a full fledged war, then, he finds his half sister, brings her to another camp so she can be safe, and finds HIM," he jabbed a finger at me, "there, with his memories stolen, then, his half-sister's life is threatened, but not taken. After that, Nico gets almost killed countless times, then kidnaped, and placed in a bronze jar, with no air, where he only lives with pomegranate seeds and a death trance. I'm AMAZED he's still somewhat the same, but he's not the innocent little kid who played with cards and asked Percy annoying questions!" Thalia finished.
If looks could kill, all of Gryffindor would be dead. "And that's not all of it!" She added for good measure.
I was sad at the mention of Bianca, but I hid that behind a smile and cracked,
"Hey, Annabeth and I fell into the hole too! And we held up the world!"
"Yeah, but you just have really, really bad luck."
"So much for being named Perseus," I muttered.
"Really?" Hermione's voice was barely a squeak.
The others had tuned into Thalia's rant.
"Yeah." Frank pitched in.
"He's been through as much as any of us, and that's saying something, considering he wasn't in the big prophecy."
"Prophecy?" Harry asked.
"Please," Ron scoffed. "It's probably not as bad as yours, Harry."
I ignored them. "Yeah, but he was in the one Ella recited," I reminded them.
"Twins stuff out an angel's breath," Piper recited.
"Who holds the key to endless death," Leo piped up.
"Finally, you talk! What a first," Frank joked.
Leo started to pout, then- "ZHANG!"
He yelled, making the Golden Trio jump. "You makes a joke! IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!" He yelled.
"Psh. Been there, done that!" I laughed.
"Oh yeah. Forgot about that."
"How in Ha- how the heck did you forget about that?!" Piper said, mock-scared.
Leo waved it off. "Well, there was the elevator thing, and the kill by fire dude—"
"But not yours," I interrupted.
"Yah, whatever, then there was the cliff, and the Lightning, and the water," he glared at me, and I gave him a sheepish grin.
"And then the Paspye chick, then the holding button thing..." He ticked off his fingers, "did I miss anything?"
"Yeah, you forgot the part where you had to get though the maze made up of mist and your imagination," Frank said sarcastically.
Ron muttered something under his breath.
"Okay, maybe we were wrong," Hermione said. "Can we just start over?"
She reached her hand over the table.
Leo was the first one to grab it.
"Team Leo, at your service!" He said with a wink.
"Leo, stop hitting on every girl you meet," Piper scolded.
"I do not! I don't hit on Annabeth!"
"That's because she scares you,"
"So?"
"Leo, you hit on Thalia, who's forbidden to date by death, you fell in love with Khione, who hated you for your dad. You hit on every girl you can't have,"
Leo pouted. "So? Go Team Leo!"
Piper turned to Hermione.
"Piper McLean," she said, shaking her hand.
The rest followed suit.
"Frank Zhang,"
"Percy Jackson,"
"Thalia. Just Thalia,"
Hermione turned to Leo. "What's your last name?" She asked.
"Me? I don't need a last name! I'm so-"
"It's Valdez," Thalia interrupted.
"Hey!"
Hermione looked between Harry and Leo.
"You're a little scrawny, like Harry," she mused.
"Hey!" Harry cried, and Hermione grinned.
"Baby, I INVENTED scrawny!" Leo quoted himself.
I couldn't help it. I busted out laughing, hitting my fist on the table.
What's... So funny...?" Asked Ron.
When I could finally breathe, I turned to Leo.
"That's what you said... You said..." And I dissolved into another fit of laughter.
"Jeez, it's not that funny! Yeah, that's what I said when Hazel and I were getting the Cele- the bronze."
I looked at Piper, who looked bewildered.
"Long, long story," I choked out.
I noticed people getting up and heading up to their dorms. Only then did I realize how tired I was. I yawned. "I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed, M'kay?"
"Only you would be tired. Didn't you take a nap?" Asked Thalia.
I nodded sleepily.
"Blame the Achilles disease," I mumbled.
Ron scooted away from me. "Achilles disease? Is it contagious?!" He asked in terror.
I laughed. "Naw, it's not. At all. It just means I'm tired way more than a normal person should be."
"Not that you're normal anyways," Thalia cracked.
"Hey!"
"Tomorrow morning, I want you guys to tell us more about yourselves, okay?" Hermione said. "Like, the deaths, and things like that. What's that about? What's with Frank? Who ARE you guys?"
I sighed. "We'll tell you tomorrow, okay?" I got up from the table and began walking.
"As long as you tell me who your parents are." She followed me, along with the others.
Thalia, Leo, and Frank looked down.
I broke the silence.
"You mean, our families?"
Hermione nodded.
"Well... Some of us don't exactly have one. At least, not your average two loving parents."
Frank nodded. "My mom died in combat. My Grandmothers house burned down, but she died naturally. As for my dads side, the side where I'm related to my friends, well, I didn't know him much. I rarely see him, and he's not exactly your average loving dad." We nodded in agreement.
"My mom was drunk on fame," Thalia started, "she gave away my brother when he was two, so I ran away. I almost made it to safety after nearly dying many times, with Annabeth, and... Luke," she choked back a sob. "But then I died and turned into a pine tree. Random, I know," she smiled vaguely at their expressions," then, five years later I came back, and found out my mom had died in a car crash. Then, I fought in the two wars, to make a long, long story very short. And now I'm here,"
"My mom died in a warehouse fire. She went to get the keys so she could lock up. Then the person who the second war was against, Aka dirt face, whom can NOT be destroyed by toilet seats, long story, came and I got mad and set her on fire."
By now we all had tears streaming down our faces, even me. I saw Annabeth leave the great hall as we did, said something to her new Ravenclaw friend, and ran over. "what happened?! Percy? Thalia?"
I stopped walking, and so did the others.
"Just... Just talking about our... Families," I said, not noticing the tears on my face.
Annabeth gave us each a hug, and Leo adopted a scared expression. Annabeth punched him playfully in the shoulder.
"Geez lady, that hurt!" He said.
"It was intended,"
I heard a sneer, and whipped around.
A pale blond boy and what looked like his body guards, two chubby boys, appeared from the gloom.
"What's this Granger? Made friends with the newbies? Lets see how good they are,"
Quick as a flash, he shot purple light at Annabeth. I knew she could dodge it, but I dove in front of her. It bounced harmlessly off of my chest, and the boy and his guards had to duck to avoid it. I smirked. His guards rushed forward. I punched the left one in the nose, and while my back was turned, the other tried to grab my shoulders from behind. I tucked myself into a ball, throwing him over my and into the wall.
I smiled at the blonde boy.
"You were saying?"
"What are you?"
"Haven't you figured it out by now? Most of my enemies, aren't that blunt, but stupid. They say, 'come down here so I can eat you!'" I smirked.
I heard Thalia rush forward, but I held up my hand. "Save your energy, it's just one,"
The boy sneered. "My fathers gonna hear about this,"
I chuckled. "And what's he going to do to me?" I asked.
"Get you expelled, ban you from the Wizarding world, he has power, unlike yourselves."
I rushed forward, Thalia coming with me. We grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.
"You think your daddy is the only one here who has power?" She growled.
"We have more power than you and your precious daddy combined, and our parents, don't you dare defy them. They're the ones you don't want to speak of,"
I heard cracking and knew Thalia was using her electricity powers.
"And these others?" She motioned to Frank, Leo, Piper and Annabeth.
"They've got extreme powers too. We've been in two wars, punk. Don't mess with us again. Don't even think about Nico, the kid in your house. He's my cousin, and as powerful as Percy and I."
"Did you just complement me?" I asked Thalia.
"Not the time, Kelp Face." She punched the kid in the nose, and he scrambled off, leaving his friends behind.
"What- Percy! You don't want to make an enemy of Malfoy!"
I laughed. "That's his name? Trust me, I've got worst enemies than him. Even an overweight goat is worse."
Hermione looked at me strangely.
"You've got a lot of explaining to do," she said. "I'll show you to our common room. Annabeth, ill show you too."
She marched off.
When she stopped, she pointed to the left. "That way is the Ravenclaw common room. You know the password?"
Annabeth nodded. She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. "Sweet Dreams, Seaweed Brain,"
I hoped I wasn't blushing. "I hope, Wise Girl. Sleep tight,"
I ignored Harry, Ron and Hermione's weird looks. Thalia was trying not to laugh.
"Shut up Pinecone face," I muttered.
"Where do we go now?" I asked Hermione.
She led us to a portrait of a lady.
"The Fat Lady," she said, "the password's 'Alecto'"
The portrait swung open.
I glanced at Thalia nervously.
"What's wrong?" Asked Ron.
"The password, you know who that is?" I asked.
"It's from Greek Mythology. Odd name for a password. It's one of the Fur-"
I clamped my hand over Hermione's mouth.
"Don't say her name. Names have power," Piper scolded, before Thalia or I could.
Leo and Frank dragged me off to bed.
"C'mon, brain boy. Don't pass out,"
"Don't call me that," I mumbled. That was what Smelly Gabe called me after sixth grade. Or at least, used to call me.
The dorms were really cool. Maroon and Gold, with curtains around the bunks, and a trunk at the end of each bed with our first initial on it. I collapsed on my bed, still clothed, an passed out. Unlike the night before, dreams found me.
Leo's POV.
I woke up and couldn't remember where I was. Then I remembered the sorting, Malfoy, the password and falling asleep. I rolled out of bed and fell on the floor and groaned.
"Dude, shut up. Percy's sleeping." I heard Ron's voice say.
"Please." Frank said. "Percy can literally sleep through a monster attack and a tornado. Been there, done that. No exaggeration."
I groaned in agreement.
"Then how do we wake him up?" Ron asked. I rolled over and said,
"Only Annabeth can wake him up, she knows how. You know, the floor is actually really comfortable."
Ron sighed. "Well get dressed, breakfast is soon and you need to tell us who you are."
"What do I wear," I said, muffled by the blankets.
"Anything you want. We only wear robes during classes."
I rolled to my trunk and suddenly got really excited. My ears got hotter and hotter, and before I realized it, Frank yelped and skittered away.
"Would you stop doing that?!" He yelled.
"Doing what?" I asked, completely oblivious.
"YOU'RE ON FIRE!" Ron yelled, and reached for his wand.
I patted my hair before he could drench me. I got the flames out and sheepishly grinned.
"Sorry for scaring you, Ron. Sorry Frank."
"You nearly gave me a heart attack!" He protested.
I shrugged.
"Sorry, dude. I almost always give you a heart attack though. Remember in that cave underwater, I tried it but couldn't breathe?"
Frank's eyes widened. "Now THAT was scary. I thought my friend had spontaneously combusted!"
I grinned.
"Okay, you really need to tell is what's going on. C'mon, let's drag Percy."
We dragged Percy face first down the stairs, and at the bottom we saw Hermione, Thalia and Piper.
Hermione looked at Percy, shocked.
Thalia burst out laughing. Finally, she said, "couldn't wake him up?"
I nodded.
"Seriously, tell us what's with you guys?" Ron protested.
"Do you want us to demonstrate?"
Piper asked slyly. Hermione nodded.
"Do you have someplace private where we can go?" I asked.
Hermione told us all about the Room of Requirement. I turned to Thalia.
"Let's go to breakfast, and tell Nico and Annabeth to come with us after they eat," I said.
They agreed, and we trooped out to the Great Hall to eat. I inhaled three eggs, bacon, and mashed potatoes.
I saw Annabeth sitting down at her table with her friends. She looked at me and mouthed, "where's Percy?"
I put up one finger and headed her way.
"Annabeth?" I called.
All of her friends turned and stared at me.
"Yeah, Sparky?" She teased.
"Hey! I'm not Sparky, that's Jason! I'm Team Leo!"
"Yeah, but it got on your nerves, didn't it?" She asked.
"I hate your smartness," I grumbled.
"So, what'd you come over for?" she asked.
"When you finish eating, I need your help with Percy. He won't wake up."
Annabeth laughed. "I'm done anyways. Lead the way, fire face,"
"Fire face?" I asked.
"Fire Face," she confirmed.
I whispered the password so she wouldn't hear, and led her inside the common room. She looked at Percy on the floor, face first and laughed.
"Don't look," she told me. I looked away while she bend over him.
In a second I heard Percy yell.
"Stop doing that!'' He whined.
Annabeth grinned.
"Morning to you too," she said, and gave him a small kiss, and I mimed puking.
"Hey! I just ate!" I said, and dragged the lovers out of the room. I made Percy eat, and Percy and I went to get Nico.
"Hey, Death Boy. We need you," I called. He looked up from his food. Then, Malfoy, the pale blond stood up.
"What do you think you're doing, talking to the members of our house?" He asked me.
I laughed.
"Think I wouldn't talk to my first family I've had since I was six? Believe me, I know all about bad families. I ran away from them six times. Nico's dad is my dads uncle." I said.
"Hey Perce, Leo," Nico said, and got up.
Malfoy sneered, and shot flames at me from his wand. I pushed Percy out of the way from protecting me.
Flames baked my body, but it just felt a little warmer, tickling my skin.
When the flames died, I stood without my clothes scorched.
"Nice try," I said. "But you tried that on the wrong person." I held out my hand and it burst into flames.
"I don't suppose you would like to switch places, would you?" I asked.
Nico was next to me now, and laughed. I extinguished the flames and pulled Percy and Nico my plan. I went to get Hermione, Harry, Ron, Piper, Frank and Annabeth, and we headed to the Room of Requirement.
I don't think the chapters in the future will be as long, but I wanted to at least get through the sorting. I won't have a regular schedule, but ill try at least once a week. Thanks for reading!
