Chapter Seven

Ron

I couldn't believe I was the Gryffindor keeper! I told this to Harry, but all he said was, "Well it's not like you'd be the Slytherin keeper, is it?"

Despite Harry's indifference, I felt on top of the world. Until we walked into the common room.

Hermione was waiting for us, looking very impatient.

"Uh, Hermione?" I asked.

"I've been waiting hours. I've got some very important information and I need yours and Harry's help."

"Ok, what do you want us to do?" asked Harry.

"You need to go into the boys' dorm and bring me Percy Jackson," she said importantly.

"God Hermione, you sound like a terrorist organizing a hostage situation," laughed Harry.

"It might come to that. I have to know the truth."

I was shocked, but I followed Harry up the stairs and into our dorm. Percy was lying in his bed, asleep. Harry nodded at me and we grabbed him under his arms and began hauling him downstairs. We dumped him in an armchair as he began to stir.

"What the Hades?" he yelled as he saw us. I had no idea what Hades was or why he was using it instead of 'hell'. I assumed it was an American thing.

It was lucky the common room was empty, because Hermione shouted "Incarcerous!" and ropes sprang up from the armchair and wrapped themselves around Percy.

"What in Zeus' name are you doing?"

"Perseus Jackson, we want answers. No one will come to help you here. Tell me. Who are your parents?"

"My mom is Sally Jackson, and she's married to Paul Blofis," he answered calmly.

"Your real father, Percy."

He looked stunned.

"But, that always worked before…"

"This is not like before, Jackson. We know who you are, we just need confirmation,"

And the common room door burst open.

There was a minute of silence, and I took in the scene. Annabeth, Thalia and Nico were facing us with swords (swords?) and knives drawn, while Harry and Hermione were pointing their wands at them.

"What's going on?" Annabeth asked, in a deathly quiet voice.

"Hey, Annabeth, it's ok, they were just curi-" Percy began, but was interrupted.

"You stay out of this, Perseus Jackson! How could you let yourself be caught by mortals!" she spat the word out as if it were a disease.

Nico walked over to Percy and cut the ropes and helped him up. Percy then walked over to Annabeth and put a hand on her shoulder. She reluctantly lowered her arm, and Thalia followed suit.

"Everyone, let's just calm down. They were curious, and, face it, who wouldn't be?"

"Percy-" began Thalia.

"No, seriously. I mean, we turn up at their school, complete strangers, and go talking about our family weirdly. I know I'd be suspicious,"

By this time, Harry and Hermione had lowered their wands, and everything was looking a bit friendlier.

"Here's the deal. You tell us about your secrets, and we'll tell you ours," said Thalia.

"Why should we go first?" asked Hermione.

"Because you practically kidnapped Percy," said Nico, in a duh tone.

"Fine. Harry was nearly killed by Voldemort when he was little and there's a prophecy saying that he has to kill him or die and Voldemort's Death Eaters keep trying to kill him and yeah that's about it," I said in a rush.

Percy grinned, "Look Harry, I know this prophecy thing is getting to you, but it'll work out fine," he promised.

"And what would you know about it?" asked Hermione aggressively.

Percy simply looked at Annabeth, then sat back and relaxed.

"Okay," Annabeth began, "Percy was the subject of a prophecy that said…" she looked at Thalia for support.

"A half blood of the eldest gods / Shall reach sixteen against the odds / And see the world in eternal sleep / The hero's soul cursed blade shall reap / A single choice shall end his days / Olympus to preserve or raze,"

There was a shocked silence.

"How are you still alive?" I asked Percy.

"I was not the hero," he replied sadly, and I saw a small tear escape from Annabeth's eye, and Thalia looked down sadly.

"Well that's good, isn't it?" said Harry.

"No," said Percy, and his voice cracked, "I wish it had been me. Poor Luke…"

"Shut up, Seaweed Brain," said Annabeth, "If you'd died, I would've…"

"Shall we continue?" said Nico, and everyone straightened up.

"Yeah, so Kelp Head went and defeated Kronos, the titan of time, and has also defeated Atlas, Hyperion, and Iapetus-"

"He just fell in the Lethe, Thalia," said Percy.

"Whatever. Where was I? Oh yeah, Iapetus, Ares, Medusa, the Minotaur twice, the Furies, the-"

"Okay, Thalia, they don't need a blow by blow account of my life," interrupted Percy, oblivious to our open mouths. I couldn't believe he'd done all that, and I got the impression the list was rather longer.

"So you are demigods?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, I think we need to announce ourselves soon," said Thalia, "We'll ask Dumbledore about it,"

"Yes, I really think we need to do a demonstration for the school, and soon," added Annabeth.

"Does that mean titles?" asked Percy, horrified, though I couldn't see why.

"Well duh, Kelp Face," said Nico.

"But that'll take ages!" he complained.

"Deal with it," Thalia told him.

I was feeling kinda excited about this 'demonstration', I wanted to see their powers, and they were obviously pretty powerful if they had so many titles.
