Artemis0406: Thank you, and yeah I plan on keeping it as Percabeth, I love the ship too much not to.
Canda and Kumajiro: I hope this is soon enough to make you happy.
AnnabethChase117: Again I say, the fact that you make the effort to review makes me smile.

Less than a week after the visit from Hecate Percy and Annabeth, who was staying with them for

what was left of the summer before they had to go to England, were having study sessions with Sirius, reading the schools book lists, which Hecate had kindly translated into Greek, and of course, training when they had spare moments, they'd been giving a large suply of Drachmas, which would be replenished during the holidays, as well as Annabeth having a new owl, a gift from her mother, which would be able to fly all the way to and from England.

Almost too soon Percys birthday arrived,and they had a small party, which, of course, involved blue cake, and then two days later the two demigod and Sirius were taken to England by Hecate, who dropped them off in London in a place that she called Diagon Alley, much to Sirius' seeming delight, and together they explored, Sirius watching the kids carefully as he did, amused by their excited reactions to everything, despite the fact that he was concerned for Harry, who had gotten into a spot of trouble at the Quidditch world cup-a sport which Percy shuddered at the thought of- and had been having strange dreams, which Percy had remarked reminded him of his demigod dreams. They both got new wands, Percy's was English oak with a mermaid hair, which made Ollivander, the owner of the shop and maker of the wands peer at him curiously, and Annabeths was Walnut and Dragon Heartstring.

Once they'd sorted their wands and robes they headed back towards the place they'd spend the next few days in, the Leaky Cauldron, and they quickly headed to their rooms, a shared one for Percy and Sirius and a separate for Annabeth.

They spent the last days of the holidays sending letters back to their families, in Percy's case IM'ing his mom once every two days, since she was worrying about him, and before long the time came for them to go to Hogwarts, much to the joy of the demigods, and of Sirius, who was looking forward to seeing Harry again, though explaining it wouldn't exactly be easy, Harry was likely to get upset when he did learn the truth.
When the day came they got a taxi to Kings Cross, and they headed inside, Percy and Annabeth hauling their trunks behind them, Sirius stood just behind them with a hand on each of their shoulders, looking out for Harry, though given the fact that they'd arrived early he doubted they'd see him until after they were on the train.

Once he was sure no one would see he lightly pushed the teenagers through the wall and loaded them up onto the train, sitting in their compartment with them.

As they waited to leave Annabeth and Percy fed Tropos, Annabeths Owl.

Before long Sirius tensed up slightly where he'd been peering out of the compartment door, as three people made their way past with their luggage, a girl with bushy brown hair, a boy with bright red hair and freckles and a boy with black hair and green eyes and glasses, who Percy knew from the descriptions Sirius had given them to be his older brother and his two best friends, Hermione and Ron.

Annabeth had to grab both of their arms to stop them from getting up and rushing after them, "Wait until we're moving." she hissed, "Seriously Seaweed brain think a second, we have plenty of time to try and talk to them."

"Oh." Percy slumped and sat back, "Right as always Annabeth." he gave a weak smile, as Annabeth nodded, and Sirius leant back too.

"We need to talk to them before we get to Hogwarts though, I'll probably have to sit up at the staff table, that should be fun." he pulled a face, "I'm real glad that Lady Hecate put a glamour on me... I'm going to be surrounded by people who'd like to see me dead."

"Well, Steven." Percy grinned, "They won't know will they?"

"Even this Dumbledore guy won't be able to see through a glamour created by Lady Hecate herself." Annabeth added confidently, "Just don't make any big slip ups and you should be fine." she smiled reassuringly, "And I promise, we will tell Harry in a minute." they watched Harry and his friends head back to the Platform and Sirius sighed.

"They're probably saying goodbye, it would have seemed weird if they didn't go back out, you were right to make us wait."

"She always is." Percy stated lightly, "Well, mostly." he grinned, "Why do you think I decided to bring her along with us?"

"Because you have a crush?" Sirius smirked and Percy went bright red, as did Annabeth.

"No! She's my best friend and she's really smart so I figured she'd be the best person to ask along with me." Percy defended quickly, and Annabeth nodded.

"Like I said before our first quest, if he has to save the world then I'm the best one to be there to stop him from screwing it up." she paused, "Though he did do pretty good himself, all things considered."

"So." Sirius leaned back, "You did tell me about your quest, kind of, but I get the feeling you were holding back because of your mom, kiddo, so, tell me all about what happened, I won't tell her, and we have to do something while we're waiting for those three to come back from saying their goodbyes."

Annabeth and Percy exchanged hesitant looks before Percy shrugged, "It was pretty much like I told you and mom... I mean... I left out the part about Lord Ares, and-" he paused, "The shoes and where-"

"But we probably shouldn't talk about that anyway." Annabeth interrupted, "Lord Zeus refused to listen to us."

"About what?" Sirius frowned, "What happened? And Ares, god of war right?"

"Yep." Percy gave a small shrug, "I beat him in a fight, I drew first blood, that really pissed him off."

"You-" Sirius blinked, "You fought a god and... okay kid you are pretty impressive I'll give you that... I get why you didn''t tell your mom about that bit, what about... the shoes?"

"We uh... that's something else I didn't tell mom. She knows I was hurt when she picked me up from Camp but she doesn't know what exactly happened." he rubbed the scar and Annabeth grabbed his hand.

"You scared the Hades into us Percy, that's what happened."

"Explain please." Sirius crossed his arms over his chest and raised an eyebrow.

"There was... this guy at camp uh...we thought he was a friend-"

"Ah." Sirius nodded, "Let me guess. Turned out he was a bit of a rat."

"You could say that again." Percy's voice was bitter, "He tried to kill me."
