Alright guys, sorry I haven't updated in for-freaking-ever. I was at the most amazing concert! I had so much fun. Anyone know Burnham? Yeah, they opened for Action Item. They were the only reason I went. Tell me if you guys like them too, cuz they rox.
ANYWAY, I think I'm definitely going to make this a 'Percy-Goes-to-Hogwarts' story. I promise I'll try to make it different from all the other kajillion of 'em out there.
HARRY'S POV:
When I first saw the van with the strawberry advertisement on it pull up, I was speechless. When I saw four teenagers come tumbling out, I was amused. But when I realized they were coming towards our apartment, I freaked out.
I recognized the tallest one as Percy, but I knew none of the others. Maybe they were his friends from his 'camp'. I left my spot on the windowsill to walk into the living room just as they were knocking. Sally jumped straight up and hauled a** to the door, crashing into me as I was coming out of the hallway.
"PERCY! You're home!" She screamed with glee as she embraced her son. He smiled as he hugged her back for a moment before letting go. He gestured behind him that his other friends were here.
"Uh, Mom? 'Member them?" He said.
"Annabeth! Thalia! Grover! You guys have grown so much!" She said. The pretty blonde was Annabeth, the scary black haired one was Thalia, and the crippled, gangly one was Grover.
"Hey Harry! How's it been?" Percy said, leaving his friends to his mother. I smiled at his friendliness, which I didn't get a lot.
"Great, actually. But I go back to Hogwarts in four days." I said, my smile slipping on the last part. He got a mischievous gleam in his eyes and smirked at my comment.
"What?" I said.
"I'll tell you later. Harry, This is Annabeth, my girlfriend, Thalia, my cousin, and Grover, my best friend. Guys, this is Harry. The kid my mom adopted." They all smiled at me, even the scary girl. I soon realized they were quite friendly as the day went on. They told funny stories of Percy at the dinner table, and when we watched a movie after we ate, they let me pick. They were all Percy's age, so only a couple years older than I was. I really liked them, and could see why Percy hung out with them.
"Sooo, Harry. I have great news." Percy said. I looked at him in confusion, but motioned for him to go on.
"Okay, so, me, Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover are all going to Hogwarts with you!" They all held their breath for my reaction. My eyes were wide as I took it in, shocked.
I could only say this, "You told them?"
"Psshhh, we're demigods, dude, I think we are a little weirder than wizards." I raised my eyebrows and he made an expression like, Don't ask. I shook my head and laughed.
"So? What do you think?" Grover said. I smiled.
"That's great!" I said. "You guys will be seventh years, but I'm a sixth year. I won't be able to go to your classes with you, but we can have lunch together. You'll LOVE Dumbledore—" I paused, confused.
"Wait, you're not wizards. Why are you going to Hogwarts?" I asked. They all looked at eachother.
"Our camp director Chiron got in touch with your, um, headmaster and they came to a descision that wizards should know about demigods. Chiron figured we were the perfect people to send. Even though Grover isn't a demigod." Thalia said, shooting Grover a sideways glance.
"You aren't? What are you?" I asked.
"A satyr, half guy, half goat. The crutched are fake, so are the shoes."
"Oooof course you are." I said, as Sally brought them out drinks. I left and went back to my room.
I pulled out a fresh roll of parchment and began my letter to Ron and Hermione. We had been writing back and forth for the whole summer, and they love hearing about my new family, and what it's like in America. I have to send them this latest news, or else they'll kill me.
Dear Ron and Hermione,
I have great news! My foster brother Percy Jackson and a few of his friends just got back, and they say they are coming to Hogwarts this year! I know that they are demigods, but apparently Dumbledore wants the wizarding world to know more about them. So you finally get to meet him! I can't wait to see you guys when school starts. We'll be coming to the Burrow around eight in the morning, so I'll see you then!
Sincerely,
Harry
I let the ink dry and then rolled up the parchment, handing it to Hedwig.
"Take this to the Burrow, Hedwig." She looked at me cross as if to say, You REALLY want me to fly all the way to London? Jerk, but went out the window anyway, politely dropping a present to a passerby below her. I chuckled and went back out to the living room, where Percy, Paul and Grover sat yelling at the football game on T.V. Sally, Annabeth, and Thalia were in the kitchen chatting, occasionally looking over to the boys and rolling their eyes.
Okay, I love my new family.
Awwww! Sweetie pie Harry. Okay, so check this out! I think I found the PERFECT look a likes for Percy and Annabeth!

Sorry I had to put spaces in between the characters, it was the only way it would work!
