A/N: I'm just going to clarify why Draco's so nice. At camp, I'm going to make him be nice, because he is a quarter (?) demigod, so he's probably going to revisit the camp when he grows older, so he's going to have to show his true nature which I'm pretty sure JK Rowling didn't say in the book, so I made him nice as his true nature. But when he gets back to Hogwarts, he's going to be Malfoy, not Draco. If I confused anybody, please PM me and tell me the part you're confused about and I'll try to explain better. Thanks. Virtual cookies anyone? (I made real ones today! SO HAPPY! :D) (::) - Cookie! BTW I have this obsession with the bar thing so if you see one out of place, please ignore it. I'm trying to put one where ever it needs, (or sort of needs!) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

That something beautiful was a pearl. It was the biggest, shiniest, pearliest pearl I have ever seen, considering the amount of pearls I've seen in my life.

I heard Hermione gasp.

Maybe I should...Nah, she's a mudblood. I thought. Then lightning blasted the ground behind me. Everyone around me shrieked. I sighed.

" ." A voice rumbled in my head.

"Yes?" I replied.

"Do not call my granddaughter a mudblood." Zeus said in my head.

"Yes, sir." I said.

"Are you mocking me Mister?"

"No, no, I would never do that!"

"You better not. You could be fried to bits right now if I wasn't in a cheerful mood." I glanced at the sky. All I could see was blue and clouds.

"I would never do that!"

"Good. Now swear on the River Styx that you'll never call my granddaughter a mudblood again or I'll blast you to pieces this instant."

"I solemnly swear that I will never call Hermione Granger a mudblood."

"Good. I sense you think differently about Hermione, don't you?"

"Um..."

"Oh come'on, admit it."

"Oh, fine! She's really pretty. HAPPY NOW?!" Thunder rumbled, and I realized everyone was staring at me...

"Mental conversation with Zeus, keep going with what you were doing before." I said to the group. Then I walked off towards the Poseidon where Percy stayed so I can get a bit of privacy with the mental conversation with Zeus.

"Yeah, she's a pretty one. Also a very knowledgeable one." Zeus said while I was walking towards the cabins.

"Well that explains why she's my daughter doesn't it?" A female voice butted in.

"Athena!" Zeus scolded. "How many times have I told you not to interrupt my conversation with mortals?"

"Sorry dad, but this conversation involved my daughter." Athena said.

"Won't they make a great couple?" Another voice butted in.

I threw open the cabin door, and closed it. Then I sat on the bed opposite of Percy's while listening to the gods' argument in my head.

"Aphrodite!" Both Zeus and Athena scolded her.

"Why were you listening to our conversation?" Zeus asked.

"Because I detected love in it! Now, Draco" Aphrodite turned to me (mentally) "A good way to attract a girl is to be yourself, and just go with the flow. If she doesn't like you because of what you did to her, you should befriend her and gradually she'll give you a chance." She advised.

"Thanks Aphrodite." I said gratefully.

"Now I must go. I detect another conversation about love. Also, Zeus and Athena are glaring at me (mentally of course.)" I felt her presence leave.

"Unfortunately, she is right, I will help guide her to you." Athena said.

"Hmm...I never thought you'd be interested in love, Thenie." Zeus said, using the nickname Athena hated so much.

"Yeah, well Draco looks like a interesting person. He could get smarter with some help." I resisted the urge to say something to Athena.

"Okay. Well, gotta get a thunderstorm going in the Amazon. See ya." With that, Zeus left my mind. I felt Athena leave right after. Then, I realized I was exhausted. I fell asleep on the bed until Percy woke me up for Dinner. Yum.

"What's for dinner Perce?" I asked while we strolled to the dining place.

"Anything." He replied, searching for something on my face.

"ANYTHING?!" I asked, surprise engulfing my face.

"Yep." Percy laughed. I guess he got what he was searching for.

"For dinner, the food appears on your plate when you ask for it. You're drinks too. BUT, there is a special thing you must do. You must sacrifice part of you food in the fire for the gods. You can choose any or all of them." He told me.

Phew, lots of things to remember at camp, even more than at Hogwarts..." I thought.

"Better get use to it punk." A voice said in my head.

"You are?" I asked out loud.

"What are you talking about?" Percy asked.

"Guy in my head." I said pointing to my head.

"Who are you?" I asked again.

"Ares, duh." Uh-oh, four gods in my head...It's going to be a tiring day.

"Since I'm unwanted, I'll go now." And he left me.

By the time our mental conversation ended, we had reached the dining place. The first thing I noticed was a huge crack on the floor that seemed to go down.

"What's that?" I wondered out loud.

"That's the crack Nico Di'Angelo made when I returned from a quest where his sister died and he took the bad news by destroying the skeletons that invaded us and made her die to the underworld. That's where they disappeared." Percy looked a the crack sadly.

"Oh." I said as we sat down at the Poseidon table.

"Yeah." Percy replied.

Percy stood up again when he asked for his food.

"Where you going?" I asked, starting to dig into my food.

"The fire pit, remember?" Percy gestured to a fire merrily burning in the middle of the tables.

"Oh. OH YEAH!" I completely forgot about that bit. I decided to sacrifice my food to Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, Ares, Morpheus, the sleep god, and Iris, the Rainbow Goddess, so she doesn't make anymore clouds appear in front of me like that.

I whispered my thanks and sat back down at the Poseidon table.

Hermione, Harry, Annabeth, and Percy were there already.

"Hermione, can I speak to you down by the beach after dinner?" I whispered in her ear.

"Sure." Hermione said, though she did look suspicious.

Harry looked at me strangely. Annabeth and Percy just carried on chatting, and didn't seem to care.


(After Dinner)

I walked as soon as dinner ended. Hermione went back to her cabin (s) to get something.

While I walked, I thought about what I was going to say to her. I can't just blurt out that I like her.

I sat down on the beach looking out towards the ocean, and watching the sun sink lower.

"Yes? You wanted to see me?" A very puffy Hermione said to me.

"I'm sorry for being an idiot at Hogwarts. Can we start over?" I asked.

"How do I know you're not tricking me?" She asked.

"I swear on the River Styx."

"Fine, I'll give you a chance. How do we start over?" Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"Like this." I smirked and stuck out my hand. "Hi, I'm Draco Malfoy."

"I'm Hermione Granger."

A/N: I originally had a lot more done...but most of was too early, so I didn't put it in. Feel free to guess!
