disclaimer- j.k. Rowling and rick Riordan came up with the base ideas and characters and that credit obviously all goes to them

"Now, let's get down to business," Annabeth said, walking towards her desk. "We are going to start straight away. Who here knows any basic spells for defense?" A few people raised their hands. "Katherine?"

"I've heard of expelliarmus!" she said enthusiastically.

"Good, now let's try it. Everyone, grab a partner and spread out." I took Kat by the hand and led her to the center. "Now stand about 2 meters apart." We all stepped back. "Good. Now go for it."

I planted my feet firmly and let out the spell. "Expelliarmus!" Her wand flew into my hand.

"Very good, Leila! That's a lot of progress. Usually it takes a few tries to get it down." Mayella grunted and tried the spell again. A window shattered by her.

"Try to focus more." Mayella's face turned crimson.

By the time the bell rang, signaling the next class, I had learned 8 new spells and everyone else had learned 2. I felt pretty accomplished for the 1st time in my life. Who knew that school could actually be slightly fun. And that was before the first flying lesson.

"Everybody put your right hand over the broom and say 'up'." Madam Hooch said. I did as she said, and immediately it obeyed. Kat seemed to have a little more trouble than me, and Dan's was rolling on the ground. Dan's broom came up after he said it about 20 times.

"Now, mount your broom and grip it tight. I have had enough injuries for this decade. Now, when I blow my whistle I want you to kick hard off of the ground. Once you have hovered for a short while, I want you to lean forward and touch back down." She pulled her whistle up to her lips. "One, two..." She finished by blowing her whistle.

I kicked off of the ground and went up twenty feet. "That's high enough, you may come back down now Miss Haughey." I reluctantly did so. I wanted to stay up there forever. Being up so high made me feel closer to home. I looked around and saw that some people were having trouble coming back down.

"Ma'am, may I go help some people get down?" I asked. I wanted help them, but part of me just wanted to be in the air again.

"If you feel so inclined, you may," She responded. She had a little glint in her eye, like she was seeing something extremely extraordinary. I mounted my broom again and pushed off the ground. I turned my broom towards Kat, who was struggling to get down, and took off. Every time she leaned down she moved farther forwards, rather than back to the ground.

"Try relaxing and telling your broom to go down. Also, don't lean so far forwards, it is telling the broom to go ahead." She took me advice and slowly worked her way down. She didn't move forwards this time.

Next I moved over to Dan, who looked like he was going to cry. He clutched his broom tightly in his hands, and he was hunched over.

"Are you afraid of heights?" He gave me a nod of the head. "Well, that should prompt you to want to go down. Think to yourself that you are on the ground. Relax and the broom will take you back down." I saw his muscles loosen up, and he gently landed on the ground. He looked up at me and gave me a cheesy smile and a big thumbs up. I returned the gesture, adding in a wink.

I looked around and saw that the only one left was Mayella. Chrys was already trying to talk her down, but it didn't work.

"Well, what seems to be the problem?" I said, flying over to her. I had to steer it a little to the right because it was very off centered

"It is this stupid broom! Not that you'd care. It won't let me go down, even when I lean forward," Mayella said. Her voice was filled with frustration.

"Would you mind demonstrating what you are doing?"

"Fine, if it'll please you, mudblood." I heard a few gasps, but I shook it off. It's not my problem that she is jealous.

She leaned forward, or at least she thought she was. Really she was just slouching.

"I see the problem. You're just bending, not leaning. Straighten up your spine and bend forward. Bring your chest down too. There you go," I said as she slowly made her way down. Once she touched down I raced back to my spot.

"Very good, Leila," Madam Hooch remarked. "Your work was exemplary, even on these old brooms." She muttered something under her breath and then waved her wand. Out of nowhere a chest appeared. It seemed to be shaking because of something inside it. "I want you to try something." She popped the top and unlatched something inside it. When she stood back up she held a golden ball in her hands. "Take my broomstick for this moment." I walked over and took it. On the side written in gold was written "Nimbus 1700". "When I blow my whistle, I want you to go after this golden ball. She opened her hand and suddenly the sphere flew out of her hands. It hovered for a moment and then took off towards the east.

As soon as Madam Hooch blew her whistle I took off after the tiny golden thing. It was fairly fast. I leaned farther forward to make myself more streamline. In my mind I willed the broom to go faster. I let out a whoop from joy, but it was lost in the wind.

I finally came within a yard of the ball. I told by broom to go just a little faster, and it listened. I extended my arm and wrapped my fist around the sphere. I slowed down and held the ball above my head while the wings shrank back into it. I turned my broom around and headed back to the class. Cheers sounded out from them as they rushed forward. The Slytherins stayed back to pout.

"I have no idea why that was so important, but it was cool!" I shouted.

"You just caught a snitch in two minutes and thirty seconds!" said Kat. "That is what is so important!"

"Okay! I still don't understand, but WOOHOO!"

Everyone quieted down as Madam Hooch approached me.

"Quidditch tryouts are this friday after classes. I recommend going for the position of Seeker."

"Will do ma'am, will do."

Harry's P.O.V.

When lunch finally came around I was ecstatic (sarcasm the greatest tool known to man). In potions we were given a 3 foot essay to write about the properties of lacewing flies and dittany. In transfiguration I accidentally turned Ron's pencil into a snake. This was just not my morning. And that was before Leila came to us with the news.

"I'm going to try out to be the Gryffindor seeker!" I choked on my pumpkin juice. Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville all looked at me, slack-jawed. "Is something wrong?" Leila asked innocently. Before I could answer in a kinder fashion, Ron opened his mouth.

"The seeker position is Harry's position. He's had it since his first year."

"Well, if you want, I can try out for something else, Harry."

"No, no, it's fine. Try out. Would you mind me asking who referred you to the quidditch team and why? First years can't compete unless they get specifically asked by a teacher."

"Well, during the flying lesson today I did really well, so I asked if I could help some people out. Madam Hooch said sure, so I did. I coaxed 3 people down when she made a box that was rattling appear. She then asked me to use her broom stick and she let a little golden ball thingy loose and told me to go after it. I then caught it in two minutes, so she told me try out."

I immediately regretted telling her to go for it. Her time for catching it was 3 times better than my time when I did the same things. I had competition, and I was not fond of it.

"Wow Harry, looks like you are going to have to try extra hard this year for the seeker spot!" Ron said, rubbing it in even further.

"I might just have to try out for a different spot too if I want to stay on the team."

Leila had a look of realization spread across her face. "Why don't we all tryout?! Jason, I bet you and Percy would be really good!" Leila exclaimed.

"Gods no! I would be struck down by lightning if I ever tried to fly except on a pegasus. Remember?" Percy said to her. I remembered he said he was the son of Poseidon earlier. Apparently Zeus hated him, so he avoided almost all forms of air travel. He even once sent his enemy to camp with the golden fleece because he couldn't fly himself. It made sense that he'd want to avoid Quidditch.

"Well, everyone else will try out," she said pointing a finger at everyone. They all hurriedly nodded. "And Chrys, you will come to support us right?"

"Of course, wouldn't miss it for the world." She beamed at this. She sure did fancy him.

"Oh, wait! Don't forget, after lunch meet me you-know-where. Actually, meet me now. Lunch will be over soon, and I don't want to miss class. Come on." She stood up to leave and we all followed. "Wait! We have to get Draco and Luna! They deserve to know too." She hurried over to get them and came back with them in tow. Draco nodded at us, and we started out into the hallway. Annabeth had gotten up too, noticing where we were going. This was going to be fun.

"First of all, what was that worried look about this morning?" Leila bluntly asked me.

"It was a combination of two things. Yesterday's scar phenomenon and my nightmare."

"What was it about?" Concern spread across her face. I could sense everyone tense up.

"I was walking down a hall, when Voldemort started speaking. He was talking to someone with a gravelly voice about crushing demigods and wizards along with the rest of humanity. Then Voldemort said 'she's here, and she is not alone', and then I woke up."

Percy paled. "I- I had the same dream. The other man, with the gravelly voice was Kronos."

" Uhm, would it be bad if I told you that I had the same dream too?" Leila asked. Oh god no, this cannot be happening!

"I thought we were done with this! You said that Luke killed Kronos! I know that we destroyed all the horcruxes! I even died so that he could be killed! I just thought this would be over, why can't it be over?!" I said this really fast while running my hands through my hair.

" Harry! Calm down! We'll figure this out," Hermione said as relaxed as possible. In other words, her voice was straining under the pressure of keeping cool.

"Percy! Listen to me! You can't just make bathrooms explode when you're upset! You're not twelve anymore," Annabeth said. I noticed that the bathrooms nearby were emitting a rumbling noise. As soon as Percy calmed down the bathroom stopped rumbling... not completely though.

I heard Draco let out a gasp as Leo's hair caught fire. Thunder rumbled outside too. Puppy whimpers escaped from Franks mouth and a ruby suddenly popped up by my feet while the nearby ghosts started screaming.

"CALM DOWN NOW," Annabeth screamed at the top of her lungs. " DO YOU WANT THE SCHOOL TO EXPLODE LIKE THE OTHER ONES?" Everyone suddenly stopped. When I bent down to pick up the ruby on Hazel pushed me over, picked up the ruby, and deposited it in her pocket.

I stood up and looked over to see if my friends were alright when I remembered something. We had forgotten to tell Draco and Luna about the others being demigods! Draco had fallen on his bum with his eyes wide. Luna was serene as usual, not batting an eye.

"Wh- what was that?" Draco asked panickedly.

"Er, right. Sorry, probably should've mentioned that before the whole 'what's wrong Harry?' question. Um, Percy, explain," Leila said. She looked apologetically at Draco and Luna before Percy spoke up.

"Have you heard of Greek and Roman myths?"

"Some," Draco muttered quietly.

"Of course. The nargles haven't taken my memories yet." Luna said airily.

"Well, they aren't myths. We are the children of the gods, demigods," Jason added.

Draco looked confused. " You mean to tell me that your parents are immortal? Pft, I knew that," Draco said trying to make himself look better.

"Sure ya did. Tell me, how did you figure it out?" Draco turned scarlet at Leo catching his horrible lie. "That's what I thought."

"Were you all the cause of all the odd things that just happened?"

"It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. And why would you have reacted like that if you didn't think it was us?"

"Well, for one thing, he started sounding like an actual puppy," Draco pointed at Frank, "And your hair caught fire without you burning."

"My hair was on fire again?! Ugh, so embarrassing."

"This is normal for you all, isn't it? Who are your parents? Everything was too messed up for me to tell."

Once everyone had told him who their godly parent is and what powers they have, he turned back to us wizards.

"And why did you not tell me about this sooner?"

"We only learned last night," Hermione said defensively.

"Oh, well you sho-"

"We told you now, didn't we?" Leila said, cutting him off. "I could have decided not to tell you, be glad I did. You didn't see my claiming, so you would have never even noticed that these guys are new if it wasn't for me." Draco gulped, and sincere sorriness appeared in his eyes.

"Sorry, truly I am. Thank you for considering Luna and I."

"You're welcome," Leila said, nodding to Draco. "Now where were we. Ah yes, what does the dream situation mean?"

"I don't know," Harry started.

Percy said what Harry was going to. "But it can't be good."

Percy's P.O.V.

The bell rang signaling the next class.

"Oh gods, I'm going to be late for my own class!" Annabeth said. She took off at sprinting pace down the hallway and I followed her. She was my teacher for my next class, and with her in charge I did not want to be late. I heard the others suddenly come to the realization that half of them were in my class too.

We made it into the room with seconds to spare. I wiped my forehead as I went to sit down. Jason seated himself next to me. Behind me sat Frank and Leo.

I looked up to see Annabeth at her desk looking around. This class was going to be amusing. My girlfriend is my teacher, and no one knows it.

"Welcome to Defense Against the Dark arts. I am Annabeth Chase. You may call me Professor Chase. Before we start I would like to inform you that after classes on Wednesdays and Fridays I will be teaching a non-magic defense class. Any who would like to participate may come." I looked around to see if anyone else planned on participating, and what I saw made my blood boil. Some of the other boys were looking her up and down like she was a prize to be won. I nearly pulled out Riptide, but I was cut off by Annabeth's voice. "And now if you would stop staring at me like I am someone you could dream of going out with, I would like to begin." The boys' faces turned red and little "ooooohs" and gasps were emitted from other people. I felt myself smile at her remark. That's my Annabeth.

"We are going to get right down to it. Tell me, what level do you think you are all at? Your previous have failed to give me previous notes on what you did."

"Well, we are all at different levels. We actually haven't taken a class in a while though, with the whole war," Hermione stated.

"Ah, yes. That sure would put a halt on your education. Let's just start with a boggart then. It is best to know what you fear so that you can overcome it."

"We have already faced boggarts, we did in 3rd year. We already know the spell riddikulus, we won't have any trouble facing the boggart."

"The point of this is not to know the spell. The point is to recognize what you fear so you can work to change that. The part of this that is so difficult is that you will each have to spend one minute total looking at your fear, unless it presents a danger to anyone." I saw a few people's faces pale when Annabeth said this. I think mine was one of those. I had no idea what I would fear now, and what would my fear reveal. "To make this easier on some, you have the option of facing your fear in my office." This helped me relax. Who knows how bad my fear could be. "Raise your hand if you are willing to stay in public. I will give you extra credit if you do." Immediately Hermione's hand shot up into the air. Slowly Ron's, Harry's, Draco's, Neville's, and a few others' hands rose. "Stand up, those of you who rose your hands, and get into a line. Everyone else come to the other side of the room here you can observe. Mobilarbus." Once Annabeth uttered the spell all of the desks in the room flew to the side.

"I thought you could only use that spell on trees," Hermione said accusingly.

"Well, the desk used to be a tree, therefore the spell works."

"That's brilliant! I can't believe I never thought of that."

"Me either," Ron added. Hermione smacked him upside the head.

"Accio cabinet with a Boggart," Annabeth said waving her wand. Suddenly a cabinet zoomed out of her office and landed in front of the lined up people. She then pointed at the cabinet doors and said, "Alohamora." I heard a lock click back. Suddenly out of the cupboard burst a huge spider. Ron was first in line.

"Seriously Ron, you still haven't gotten over your fear of spiders." Hermione said insulting him.

"I haven't exactly gotten the chance to," Ron squeaked out. His voice was suddenly high pitched and shaky.

"Calm down Ron! Face it head on! Be a man," I shouted from the sidelines. The spider was making it's way towards Ron by now. Ron squeaked and tried to stand taller. He eventually stood up straight. "What scares you the most? If it's the eyes or the body just think of it this way- evolution could have taken a very wrong turn. We could look like him!" This made Ron emit another shriek.

"Come one Ron," Hermione said. "Be brave for me." She walked up and gave him a peck on the cheek. At that he puffed out his chest and stood tall. Hermione grinned and blushed.

"MINUTE'S UP," Annabeth shouted. Hermione stepped forward and took his place. The whole thing went in a similar pattern. I learned that Hermione's fear was having to take away her parents' memories. The only one that we had to stop so far was Draco's. His was of a faceless death-eater trying to kill him because he was a coward. Annabeth told him to say the spell and he gladly did. The man turned into a man dressed as an ice cream cone with a cherry on top. Draco went up and pushed him over. Because of the suit the man was stuck rolling around on the ground in a large circle.

The last person to face their fear was Harry. Everyone started muttering nervously, as if they were afraid of what would come out of the cabinet. I even started to get nervous myself. When Harry walked up to the Boggart that was now a snake being used as a jumping rope I felt the room's temperature lower. The boggart swirled around until it became a dementor (my mind thing told me this). Harry stepped backward a fraction of an inch. The dementor slowly lifted it's boney hands to it's hood and started pulling it back. Harry raised his wand and yelled loudly enough for Chiron to here back at camp "Expecto Patronum". A silvery thing popped out of the end of his wand and it formed the shape of a stag. The deer charged forward and rammed it's head into the dementor. The force of the head-butt knocked the hooded figure back into the cabinet. "Colloportus!"

I heard the sound of the lock being clicked back into place and took in a deep breath. When that thing appeared I felt as if all the happiness had been taken out of me. It was almost as bad as when I had to hold the weight of the sky on my shoulders.

I looked to my right and saw Annabeth looking through her desk. She pulled out a huge bar of chocolate and broke up enough pieces for the entire class. She handed it out to everyone. Once I had eaten it I felt immensely better.

Until I remembered I had to go through this.

Annabeth led us people who hadn't faced the boggart to the staircase outside of her office. She sat us all down and took one person in at a time. Some people screamed and other people cried. When Frank came out of the office his eyes were filled with sadness and loneliness. Jason came out with a look of pride. He had obviously stood up to his fear. Leo came out looking the most depressed of them all. Tears were still running down his face when he excused himself to go to the bathroom.

Leo's P.O.V.

I entered the room with jokes. Stupid.

"This boggart is gonna be nothing. Literally! I'm so fearless it won't have anything to take the shape of." I spoke too soon.

Annabeth unlocked the cabinet and out rolled my worst fear. Dirt woman. She looked the same as she did on the machine shop fire day.

"I cannot destroy you yet, the fates will not allow it. But they do not protect your mother, and they cannot stop me from breaking your spirit." I flashed back to the night she told me this. I had killed her. I had killed her. A smile crossed Gaea's face. Flames erupted on my whole body. "You were the death of her! You cannot control it! You will hurt them, kill them all!"

I dropped to the ground in a ball and started sobbing. I couldn't stop. I never wanted to see this again! I ran my hands though my hair and squeezed my eyes shut.

Annabeth stepped in front of me and the boggart changed into something that I couldn't see. My tears blurred my vision and Annabeth was blocking whatever it was. I heard a small gasp come from her mouth before she said riddikulus. She shoved the thing back into the cabinet and locked the doors. She came over to me and helped me up. I was still crying. The tears wouldn't stop coming. She led me to the door and gently pushed me out. I saw Percy's questioning face for a split second before I ran to the bathroom. I did not want to explain it right now.

Percy's P.O.V.

I jumped up from my sitting position and made for the open door. I closed it behind me and made my way over to Annabeth. I gave her a gentle kiss on the lips before I made my way over to stand in front of the cabinet. I gave her a slight nod and she opened the doors. Out stepped someone who I never wanted to see again, and all the others who I never thought I was going to see again.

A/N: YAY I GOT ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE! I hope you guys like it. It is also my first real cliff hanger type thing, so I hope it is good. :)

So I have been thinking this for a long time, but I feel like I need to share it with the world. I have an ish friend who has curly, dark curly brown hair, he is a bit fidgety, he rock climbs (in relation to the camp lava wall), he invents and does technology stuff, he is pretty freakin hilarious, he is in my Latin class, and on top of all that he fluently speaks spanish. I have my own personal leo valdez.
