EVERYONE WHO THINKS WE SHOULD DO MORE PERCABETH COMMENT AND WE WILL!
ALSO IT IS IN FIRST PERSON, NOT TO GET YOU CONFUSED.
CHAPTER 4
PERCY POV
The two odd men that me and annabeth saw were talking over tea. The old man looked at us with bright blue eyes and said
"It looks like our special guests are here. Hagrid, will you get some tea for them, it must have been a long ride, And can you get some for
Nymphadora?"
Tonks did not complain and excepted the offer politely. 'She must respect the old dude.' Percy thought. The huge guy, Hagrid, walked over to the stove that had a teapot with daisies on it and poured the hot water into three matching tea cups and adding tea bags and handing them to Percy, Annabeth and Tonks. The old man smiled and said,
" Well I probably should explain why you are here to you."
Me and Annabeth were sent here to Hogwarts by Chiron to help the wizards and more specifically Dumbledore, the old man with half moon spectacles, long robes, a wand and a grey white beard longer than riptide and hair on his head the same color. He is the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, which Tonks and Hagrid are part of. We have to help them defeat a wizard, who is mortal but has somehow made him almost completely immortal. His name is Lord Voldemort (Moldewarts...HA HA HA HA HA).
We will be staying in the Room of Requirement, a room you had to need to get, which on our first day was very hard to get since we were still looking at the great building we were staying in. Apparently you could only get in by walking past the doors location three times by thinking why you need to go into that room. As the room had what we needed it always seemed to be split in half for both me and Annabeth. It always seemed to change-not while we were in it-to what we were feeling.
When we had walked in though the first time it was amazing. There were 2 shelves of archetecture books, a few books about wizards like Hogwarts, A History (A HAB, OR A HERMIONE APPROVED BOOK). There was also a few training dummys against a wall and 2 comfortable bean bag chairs along with 2 beds and to my excitement a small pool.
I immediately said "I think I can stay here for a while." and dove into the pool, with all my clothes on.
When I got back up to the surface Dumbledore was waiting for me with Annabeth, who had her nose just inches away from one of thearchectecture books with an awed look on her face. Dumbledore, as soon as he pulled the book away from Annabeth, told us the rules that we had.
" You are supposed to be in this room during the daytime at all times. You are allowed to wander the conidors at night for the next week, until the term starts. Then at certain times you can wander, I will give you a note telling you that it is okay to do so. Your food will be brought to you by one of the house elves Dobby. The-"
"Wait, elves?" Annabeth exclaimed.
"Yes, they help cook and clean at Hogwarts. Dobby is a very trustworthy elf and will keep your secret of you being here. Now, let me continue."
Dumbledore said calmly.
"You will be also be invited to meetings of the Order of the Phoenix. I will come to fetch you when we plan meetings and take you to our current location. Listen carefully at the meetings, they are the reason you are here. You will also be allowed to go into the village with Tonks once every two months. You can still talk with your friends and you can still train. I also suggest that you should learn how to use your wands. The school books from all of the subjects and all of the school years are on the shelves, along with other supplies that you can use. Is that clear?"
Annabeth and I nodded.
"Well I best be off. I hope you enjoy your stay at Hogwarts." And with that last statement, Dumbledore left.
We decided to sleep after Dumbledore left. I was woken up by a small...thing, a couple of hours later. It had huge green eyes, bat-like ears and a horrible sense of fashion. He had two trays of food with sandwiches, fruit, french fries, and cookies. On his head was another tray with a porcelain teapot and two teacups. Wow, British people really like tea. I'm guessing that I will have to ask my friends to mail me some Cokes soon. Dobby gave the trays to me and said in a squeaky voice that Dumbledore sends his regards and left as quickly as he came. I gave one of the trays to Annabeth, who was reading a textbook called, Numerology and Grammatica(A HAB!), which looked like a boring book, but it seemed good to Annabeth because she blindly reached out to grab a sandwich and practicly burned herself on the hot tea pot.
Once we ate and I got Annabeth to stop reading the book, we headed to Hagrid's hut, because it was after dark, and he said that we were welcometo. We shared our stories about interesting monsters, his on Norbert the Dragon, Witherwings the hippogriff( But I think his real name is Buckbeak), and his mini hellhound Fang, and we told our stories of Mrs. O' Leary. We grew to like Hagrid, and he did provide us with entertainment, even if it came with his rock-like cakes with raisins.
We walked along the corridors at night too, only seen by that stupid cat -Mrs. Norris I think it is? Hagrid mentioned the cat in a sour tone. While Annabeth 'ohh'ed and 'aww'ed at every piece of archetecture she saw. In fact Annabeth was so soaked up in the archetecture that once she had gotten her foot caught in one of the magically jinxed step and I had to haul her out of some quick sand, ever since I have preformed the true feat of keeping us both safe from these steps.
But I was bored on the first day of term, but someone already found us. Right now we were in the room of requirement talking about the trio that had just visited us.
"So, did you recognize the boy?" Annabth asked vaguely
"Which one?" I asked
"The one with the scar." Annabeth said pointedly
"I'm supposed to know him amn't I?" I said and asked at once and Annabeth sighed
"Yes. He's mentioned in a lot of these books." She said looking at me in that way that says she thought I should study. I plunked down next to her and looked at the books that sat on the shelf and chose 3. Standard Book of Spells (Book 1), A Beginners Guide to Transfiguration, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Annabeth chose others that I looked over immediatly and I could tell she did not approve of my choices. But all the same she left me alone and we sat in a deathly silence, in which I squirmed silently. before I opened the one of the books, I noticed that it was already in Greek.
The first book I read was a Beginners Guide to Transfiguration because it seemed the easiest. After I read through it I found a frog-I really don't know how- and said a spell that was supposed to turn it into a cup. At first nothing happened so I yelled the spell at the frog with the spell startling Annabeth but succeeding and turning it into a cup. I smiled at Annabeth gloatingly. After I knew that she saw, I turned to the next book I had picked out. Both of us read until about midnight when Annabeth broke the silence.
"Should we tell the truth to the trio when they come back?" she asked.
"I don't know, Annabeth." I said, thinking how it would be dangerous for them to know we are demigods.
"I think they are trust worthy, but we can't go and tell them all of our secrets." Annabeth said wisely.
"We should be vague about our past," Annabeth continued "And we should tell them that we are helping the Order of the Phoenix."
"Okay, sounds like a good plan to me, Wise Girl." I said, having no other ideas.
Annabeth smiled and walked over to my bed and plopped down right next to me. She rested her head in the crook of my neck and pulled the covers over both of us. I smiled and kissed her on her forehead. I knew that even if we are on a mission, I will always be with my Wise Girl. I snuggled closer to her and fell asleep to whatever dreams await us.
