A gleaming green plant appeared on top of Hermione's bushy head. She kept craning her head up to try to see it, but she couldn't. She frustatedly sighed. "What is it?"
Chiron kneeled. "All hail-um, what is your name child?"
"Hermione Granger." She replied.
Chiron cleared his throat. "All hail Hermione Granger, daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, who presides over grains and the fertility of the earth."
Hermione blushed. "Well, my mother did always say that I had a green thumb…"
Harry grinned at her. "This is great! We're gonna have the best time here!"
Chiron looked at the camp's borders. It was well into the evening, and the darkening sky was lit up by torches. He squinted. He could make out a satyr, being dragged by a boy. Closing in on them was...oh Styx.
Harry noticed Chiron's line of sight. His eyes widened, before narrowing. He held up his bracelet and clicked sword. A gleaming silver sword appeared in his hands.
"Harry," Chiron warned, but he was off like a racehorse. "Damn Artemis' speed."
Harry leapt over the unconscious satyr. A boy, around his age stood while staring determinedly at a shape in the distance. Harry, who didn't know a thing about Greek mythology, could tell that this was Minotaur.
"What's your name?" Harry asked.
"Percy Jackson." The boy said, raising his sword. "Who're you?"
"Harry Potter. I saw this thing coming and well, I thought you could use a hand." Harry raised his own sword. He sprinted at the Minotaur. Leaping in the air he yelled, "Percy, when I say go, charge at him and end him!"
Harry slashed his sword, cleaving off one of the Minotaur's horns. He slid under it and slashed again, causing the Minotaur to roar and come at him. Harry stood bravely, his sword outstretched and ready to make a move if the need arise.
When the Minotaur was about a yard away, a bronze blade sprouted from its head. It made a low moaning sound, before collapsing and exploding into golden dust.
Percy pocketed the sword-now a pen- and grinned at Harry. "Shoot man that was sick."
Harry smirked. "Guess they don't make Minotaurs like they used to." The unlikely pair shared a laugh. Harry crouched and picked up the leftover horn. "It's yours."
Percy shook his head. "No way, man. You cut it off."
"So? You took Bessie down, now, didn't you?" Harry argued.
Percy sighed. "Maybe we should leave it here."
Harry thought about it. "No, I'm sure Chiron would like to see it. I'm guessing you're a new demigod. I am too. Let's head on back to camp." He noticed the satyr. "Say, is that a satyr? Is he unconscious? Lemme try something." He pulled out his wand. "Ennervate."
Grover sprang up, bleating. "Ba-a. PERCY! WATCH"- he saw the two demigods standing next to him. "out?"
"Let's get back to camp before our combined auras attract something else." Harry suggested.
"I think I've fought enough for one day." Percy agreed.
The 3 made their way back to camp, where Chiron was waiting for them. He stood angrily, watching Harry come back.
"Did it not cross your mind that it was dangerous to go out?" Chiron asked.
Harry shrugged. Percy stared at the centaur in awe. "Mr. Brunner?"
Chiron rubbed his temples. He turned to Percy and smiled. "My dear boy, that was but an alias. Here I go by the name Chiron."
Percy blanked out. "Like…the hero trainer horsey dude?"
Chiron laughed. "Yes, exactly like that."
Percy sighed. "And Harry called me a...demigod?"
Chiron glared slightly at Harry. "Yes."
Percy nodded. "Okay."
Chiron glanced at Harry. "I'm afraid you missed dinner with your spectacle. As Hera and Artemis only have honorary cabins, you may take the one that is on the rim of them all. It is a generic cabin with two bunk beds and some 'other' things."
"Can I bring Percy with me?" Harry asked.
Chiron looked back and forth between the both a couple times before resignedly nodding.
Percy and Harry wore identical grins and high-fived. Harry hugged Hermione. "Goodnight."
He kissed Annabeth on the cheek. "Good night. Don't think too much about Luke. I'll see you in the morning." He nodded to Percy, and they took off.
Annabeth shot Hermione a smug grin. "He kissed my cheek." She all but rubbed in Hermione's face.
Hermione glared back. "So? He's known me longer and likes me more." Hermione retorted icily. They both put their noses in the air and marched away. Then, Hermione awkwardly came back to Chiron to ask where she was to go.
Harry and Percy were in for a treat. The cabin was your stereotypical log cabin. The interior was cozy. A fireplace was across from the window, which gave a serene look out to the lake. If you looked to the right, you'd see the Zeus cabin, and if you looked to the right, you'd see the Big House. In front on them was the basketball courts.
The 2 bunk beds were pretty standard, with a bedside lamp in the middle. A couple generic pictures of Camp Half Blood were set up around a sink. A bathroom was in the back, adjacent to a couple bookshelves.
"Cozy." Harry said, looking around.
"Yep," Percy agreed. He squinted at a picture. "Hey...this picture looks weird." He pressed it. The bookshelves spun around, revealing a doorway.
They shared a look. Cautiously walking towards it, Harry raised a hand. He pulled out his wand. He waved it in front of the room, and it lit up white. He stood straight. "We're good."
Percy laughed. "Bro, that is so cool."
The secret room was, for lack of better word, decked out. There was an ICEE machine and soda machine. A couple cupboards were found to be full of snacks. There was a refrigerator that was full of food and a microwave there. Right next to it was a brazier.
Further onwards, there was a large flat screen TV hooked up with a PlayStation 4 and 3. (I know this is more recent, but I'll just pretend it was in existence back then) and a closet full of games and controllers.
They noticed a door called 'Library', but no way was one of them going in there.
Harry yawned. "AS exciting as this is, we have Capture the Flag tomorrow and it would be a mistake to not get out rest."
Percy frowned, but nodded.
THE NEXT MORNING
Harry and Percy walked out to the dining pavilion for dinner. Bleary eyed, they followed the procedure and Percy plopped down next to Harry, who was sitting at the Artemis table.
A couple of girls walked up to them. She had green eyes much like Percy's, shoulder length brown hair, and a splash of freckles no her nose. "Silly gooses, no one sits at the Artemis table."
Harry smiled at her, causing her to blush. "Sorry, miss. I'm new here. I was claimed by Lady Artemis though. See," He strung his bow and aimed it backwards. He let go of the string and it hit a bird 100 yards away. Right. In. The. Damn. Eye.
The girl gasped, fanning her face with her hand. Her friends mirrored the same expression. The girl winked at Harry. "I'm Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite. Who might you and your handsome friend be?"
"Harry Potter, son of Artemis and Hera." Harry responded, bowing his head.
"Percy Jackson. I'm not claimed yet." Percy said a little glumly.
Silena patted his arm, causing his face to color. "Don't worry sweetie, you'll get claimed. Now, we have to go. See you around?"
"Definitely." Both boys said, turning and grinning at each other.
The girls blew them a kiss and walked away. Annabeth and Hermione both glared at the girls, then made eye contact and shared a surprised look.
'I like Percy.' Hermione mouthed.
'I like Harry.' Annabeth mouthed back.
They both smirked.
AN: Good, Bad, Horrible? Let me know down in the reviews.
