A/N: Hello people of fanfiction. .Back. And I'm currently editing this story, so, if I accidentally ruin some part in it, forgive me. DX
Meh, kay, see you at the end of the chapter! X)
Percy was lying down in his bunk, staring at his cabin's ceiling. He had dreamed about Annabeth in danger, stuck somewhere underground, and Luke was responsible for it. He closed his eyes and sighed. The weird thing is that he also saw an image, a teenage boy who looked like him. Messy jet-black hair, green eyes behind those taped round glasses...and a lightning bolt shaped scar. Percy had no idea who this boy was, but he felt that he was important. Like there was a connection between the both of them. There was a loud knock from outside and he tiredly stared at the door. He put in his sneakers and opened the door. Grover was standing there, wearing his usual "I'm-scared-face." eating something that must have been a handle of a chair.
"What's up? It's-"
"Chiron needs to talk to all of us." he said, biting his lower lip.
Percy raised his eyebrows looking curious and confused. He walked out with Grover to the dining pavilion.
His parents, Mrs. Weasley crying over a dead Kreacher, Ron and Hermione wearing crowns and Harry walking to an unknown corridor ending up on a locked door. A boy about his age who looked like him with black hair and sea-green eyes. Images flickered and scenes played. Harry sat bolt upright, his scar hurting, again. He looked at Ron who was already dressed.
"...better hurry up. Mum's going ballistic. Says we're gonna miss the train..." Ron said, then Mrs. Weasley's voice filled the whole house.
"What's happened down there?" Harry asked, hearing Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George and Ginny yelling.
"Fred and George bewitched their trunks and accidentally went straight for Ginny." Ron answered, getting up from the bed and walking to the door just as Hermione barged in when Harry was just finishing dressing up, with Hedwig on her shoulder and Crookshanks and an envelope on her arms, informing Harry about her parents' mail and asking if Ginny's alright.
"WILL YOU ALL GET DOWN HERE NOW, PLEASE?" Mrs. Weasley yelled from the foot of the stairs.
Hermione jumped and rushed downstairs. Ron's head popped up and turned to Harry.
"See you downstairs, mate." and with that he, too, ran downstairs.
Harry took Hedwig's cage and his trunk and went downstairs. Ready to get escorted to King's Cross Station.
All of the campers from every single cabin were there, even the hunters. Percy headed to the Poseidon table with Grover. Chiron was talking to Mr. D, with his usual leopard hawaiian shirt and shorts and his diet coke. Percy stared at the Athena table. No Annabeth. It seemed so unusual not seeing her beside her siblings, talking about this and that that Percy never really cared about. He sighed, and Grover patted his back.
"Silence, please." Chiron's voice boomed.
Everyone went silent, turning their attention to him.
"Now that all of you are here, it's time to get to business. Firstly, there will be no quests, exception for the Artemis' rescue."
Everyone groaned and whined. No quests. What was the point of Camp Half Blood now? Zoe and Bianca's faces were blank , trying no to show that they will be leading the quest for Artemis' rescue. For once, Percy wished he wasn't a boy; just to save Annabeth… and Artemis.
"You all will be sent somewhere you never knew existed." Chiron said.
"But why?" Elizabeth Frost from the Athena cabin asked. She looked exactly like Annabeth, except for her red-orange hair.
"Because...they need our help," he turned towards Percy who had his brows together to show that he is very confused.
"And we need theirs."
Everyone and I mean, everyone exchanged looks.
"I don't understand." Percy muttered, turning to Grover who shrugged his shoulders.
"You're all going whether you like it or not." Mr. D piped up.
The whole camp went bonkers and everyone else was complaining.
"What? But, you know campers and hunters aren't friends!"
"Hang on, that would mean disaster, Mr. D!"
"Silence!" Chiron half-yelled from his wheelchair.
"But, are we all seriously going? I mean, this could be a quest, not all of us can go." Percy asked curiously, he didn't exactly know what Chiron was planning.
Everyone turned his or her attention to Percy.
"Peter Johnson, how many times do we have to say that everyone is going and that this is not a quest?" Mr. D. asked, his back to his chair and waving his hands. "There isn't much going on, this isn't all about you, Johnson."
Percy's confused look turned to anger. All of this isn't about him, but he needed Annabeth, obviously. He can't just abandon her and go to some place that he didn't know about. He was about to ask Chiron about this, but was interrupted by a rushed instruction.
"You all have 20 minutes to pack up and reach Thalia's pine before we leave."
It took twenty minutes for Harry and his team to reach King's Cross on foot. Harry had to be escorted to King's Cross of course, due the state he was in. As he walked and searched for a compartment, he thought about how great it was going back. Since the day that Harry was informed for his hearing, Harry thought that his fourth year would be the last of his Hogwarts days. As the dog form of Sirius and Harry passed by students, he thanks Lee Jordan for complimenting his "dog". Ron, Hermione, Ginny and the rest eventually arrived without trouble. And after a few minutes, a warning whistle sounded and students still on the platform started to hurry up to the train. The train moved and Sirius happily chased the train until it gathered speed and Sirius was gone.
"Shall we go get a compartment, then?" he asked Ron and Hermione.
Hermione turned red and Ron seemed to look away from him.
"We'll-er-well, Ron and I are supposed to go into the prefect carriage." Hermione said, trying to not sound rude or anything.
"Oh. Right, fine." Harry said. He was disappointed. But it was their job, he couldn't risk them of getting in trouble that early. Harry watched Ron and Hermione trail off to the prefect carriage. He then walked with his trunk and Neville and Ginny trailed behind him. Everything else was full, the only compartment without that much students was with the odd Ravenclaw girl; Luna Lovegood. Neville muttered something like "I don't want to disturb her." Trying to avoid the fact that we have to sit with her. Ginny laughed.
"Don't be silly! She's fine!" she opened the compartment door and pulled her trunk inside. Harry and Neville exchanged looks and reluctantly went in, settling down.
"Hi, Luna" Ginny said. "is it okay if we take these seats?"
If this was "Loony" Lovegood, it was loony enough just seeing her face. She had dirty blonde hair, very pale eyebrows and protuberant blue eyes. Her wand was stuck in her left ear and she was wearing a bottle cork for a necklace. She was also reading a magazine upside down. She looked at Neville then to Harry and nodded.
"Thanks" Ginny said with a smile. Harry looked at Luna, he didn't know what was wrong with her, she seemed pretty okay to be friends with. The fact that she was reading a book upside down and wearing a bottle cork for a necklace and weird fruit-like earring wasn't really bothering him.
"Ugh. Like, this is so heavy!" Grover complained. He was trying to push his trunk to their "compartment". It was large, compared to the ones they'd passed by. Percy thought it was the only one that students were not occupying to. He turned to Thalia and she shrugged.
"Maybe it's for us."
She placed her trunk beside the door and sat down. The others followed her example and placed their trunks everywhere. The Hermes kids found a useful thing about them rather than carrying stuff and placed in on the ground and sat on them.
"This is so big. It could one of the biggest closets ever!" Lyanna said, eyeing the room. Her sisters muttered in agreement. Aphrodite girls.
The hunters were plopped on one side. Sharpening their arrows as it's the only thing they could do. Percy looked at his camp-mates. Travis and Connor Stoll were drawing on Abigail Carter's face. Clarisse La Rue was tying a bandanna on her hair while chatting with her brother. The Athena campers read the same book;Hogwarts; A and the other satyrs were eating. The room was filled with an awkward silence. It's like they didn't know each other, they were just there, sitting with their siblings doing their own thing. Percy was too bothered to be staring at them that he didn't hear footsteps and voices outside their room. Everyone's heads popped up and turned to the other direction of where they came from.
"I ztill cannot believe zis." A girl was saying.
She had a heavy French accent mixed with something else, like Australian.
"I just hope it's not another dragon or something like that." another said, this one had an English accent. Thalia scrunched up her face and placed one ear on the wall.
"A dragzon?"
"Well, that compartment is big."
"Yes, but if it waza dragzon, it'll be out of conztrol."
"'Mione! Come on, we're finding Harry!" another voice called out.
Silence. They were gone. Thalia turned to us and made a face. They had no idea what was going on at all.
It has been hours since they've arrived. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna and Ginny headed towards the carriages together. Everyone else was sitted, except for Harry, who was eyeing the skinny, black, horse-like creature.
"Can you see them?" Harry asked.
"See what, Harry?" Hermione asked.
He pointed towards the creature.
"That-that thing." He stuttered.
Ron looked at him.
"You must be hallucinating, mate. Just get in the carriage."
Harry couldn't help staring at it as he sat down on his seat. Harry took his eyes off the creature and turned towards her friends. Luna was staring at the direction Harry had pointed.
"I can see them, too." she told Harry, eyes still on the creature. Then, she slightly tilted her head, so now she was facing Harry.
"You're just sane as I am." She said silently.
Ron looked like he was about to pass out from the insanity in the air. "Bloody hell. You both are mental."
Harry turned to Hermione who was craning her neck to see the view behind them. They all turned around and their eyes widened in surprise. Hagrid has been assisting students who had orange t-shirts and silvery clothing than their robes.
"Who are those?" Ginny asked. "They don't look English to me."
"Not in proper dress code." Hermione huffed.
"Maybe they didn't know where to go." Harry sighed. He, too, knew how it felt like to be new to Hogwarts, but it was pretty clear in the letter that you needed robes and they could have asked anyone from Diagon Alley.
"Must be muggles." Luna said dreamily.
Something was bothering Harry once again, though. As he turned around for one last look, he caught something that he'd seen before in a dream. A teenage boy who looked like his age, with black hair and sea green eyes had his hands on his pockets, fidgeting with something. Harry scrunched his eyebrows and made sure he saw the right person.
"What are you looking forward to this year, Harry. Harry?" Hermione asked, waving at hand in front of his face.
"Huh? Oh right, er- I really don't know. Hogwarts already has its surprises." He answered with a smile on his face. It was true and he couldn't wait for what was waiting for him.
