Chapter 10

All in all the meeting went exactly like Percy thought it would. Every camper constantly staring at him like Dumbledore wasn't talking to them at all. It was amusing and annoying at the same time. He knew that he would probably have to talk to the campers that were sorted into Gryffindor but as far as he was concerned they would have to gain his trust back. He wouldn't be the same loyal and trusting person he was because he now knew that like Athena said that flaw was fatal for a reason and he needed to get it under control. The meeting had started on a sour note when Annabeth tried to sit by Percy and ended when almost everyone fell asleep listening to Dumbledore's speech.

He started the speech off by explaining why Percy was at Hogwarts and ended it by going on about how theywere here to beat any monsters or demigods that got through the castle wards while they were here."Like they deserved an explanation for why I'm here"Percy thought. "It's not like we're close or anything, so I wonder why he's explaining anything to them." He said angrily to himself careful to not show any of the emotions he felt on his face. It just wouldn't do to show weakness in front of the same people who would take advantage of someone when they were already down.

"Now I know you are all tired so I will let you all retire to your dorms for tonight. If you are in Slytherin follow Professor Snape. If you are were placed in Ravenclaw follow Professor Flitwick. If you are a Hufflepuff please follow Professor Sprout. If you were sorted into Gryffindor you can follow Mr. Jackson since Professor McGonagall is busy right now. "Oh great" Percy thought.

Percy got up and without looking back left the room. If they were smart enough to follow than they would get to the common room if not,well,they can meet Peeves, Mrs. Norris, and Filch. He knew that it was kinda rude and to anyone else he wouldn't have done it but they deserved every mean thing he could think of except maybe Azkaban. Percy didn't even notice people sprinting down the hall trying to catch up to him. He only turned around when someone tapped his shoulder. He spun around to come face to face with Katie Gardener a daughter of Demeter.

"Katie why are you following me? You aren't in Gryffindor."Percy said in confusion and a little coldly. He didn't want to seem to mad at them because he wanted them to see he was better off but it was late and he was really sleepy.

"Percy I just want to apologize. I know that you don't want to hear it but please just let me explain. I'm not expecting you to forgive me right away and I know that I will have to earn your trust back but I'm willing to take as long as it has to. I know that I should have believed you, but I wasn't thinking straight. I mean think about how your fatal flaw is loyalty and you would believe anything Thalia or Nico tells you right?" Not waiting for a reply she continued. "I was sorted into Hufflepuff because I am extremely loyal person too but while we were friends you never went out of your way to talk to me so I didn't know that much about you to believe you without proof." Katie finished off.

"But that's the thing Katie." Percy said. "You believed Theseus without any solid proof. He had been at camp for what,a week? And everyone believed him over me. I couldn't believe the same people that I had known for years would turn their backs on me when it was convenient without any regrets but you did now you have to live with the consequences." Percy said.

Katie nodded "I know all of that,believe me,all I want is for a chance to redeem myself. I truly am sorry Percy. She finished with tears in her eyes. "I swear it on the River Styx."

Thunder rumbled off in the distance but nothing happened to Katie. Percy walked over to her and brushed the tears off her face with his thumbs. "I now know that you are honest but I still don't forgive you. But since you apologized first and it was really sincere I won't be as hostile to you as I probably will be to the others and I will give you a chance to redeem yourself, now I have to get to bed and you really should do the same."

Without waiting for a reply Percy started walking back to the common room. He heard the other three walking behind him but he really didn't want to talk all that much so he walked up to the painting of the fat lady and waited until they caught up to him. "To get into the Gryffindor Common room you have to come to this exact portrait and say the correct password to be allowed entrance. This is mostly because it would be a security risk if you just allowed anybody to come into another houses common room because of pranks, fights, etc. That being said you can get into serious trouble for allowing a student from another house into the common room. Boys aren't allowed into girls dorms but girls are allowed in boys. Now any questions?" Percy asked.

"Nope kelp head I think we got all of it." Thalia said. Nico and Clarisse nodded their head in agreement. Percy walked up to the portrait "Greater Good." He said before walking through and up to his bed where he collapsed exhausted from the long day he just had.

Percy woke up still sleepy from the long day before. He knew that today the champions were going to be picked and he had yet to place his name in the goblet. He walked downstairs to see Thalia and Nico talking quietly. It surprised him that the two laziest people he had ever met in his life,besides the children from the Morpheus cabin and Leneus the satyr,were actually up before he was. " Hey Thalia, Nico did you two sleep well?" Percy asked trying to start a conversation as he waited for Fleur to come down from her dorm so he could walk to the Great Hall with her.

Nico nodded " I haven't ever slept on beds as soft as these." Percy smiled "They put cushioning charms on them to ensure a comfortable sleep. The only downside is that it makes me extra sleepy when I'm supposed to be going to class or something." Thalia laughed "That sounds like something you would do. Have you missed any classes yet? She asked. "Three, but I got Dumbledore to cover for me so I didn't get into any trouble. And since I have two patrons one being the goddess of magic herself I am ahead of everyone in my classes. Most of my teachers call me a prodigy.

"Wait. Did you say two patrons? Nico asked.

"I thought we all only received one blessing." Thalia said confused.

"Remember you two are on this quest because Chiron and Dumbledore know each other and favors were owed from all the years. I've been on this quest since school started. I got this quest from two of the gods." Percy stated.

"Who?" Nico asked.

Percy smiled " My two patrons are Lady Hecate Goddess of Magic and Lady Hestia Goddess of the Hearth." Percy said.

"Wait so you have powers over fire and food right?" Thalia asked.

Percy nodded "I also have stronger powers over magic than everyone because I have her full blessing meaning whenever I learn new spells it won't take as long for me to get. Small things like that but it does eventually add up.

Nico nodded " So you're like the Champion of Fire and Magic."

Percy smirked "Exactly now it was nice talking with you two but I'm going to go to the Great Hall to get some breakfast with my girlfriend."

They both nodded before doing a double take "Girlfriend" they said in unison. Percy smiled "there she is now coming down the stairs." They both turned their heads to see an average height, gorgeous blonde haired girl. Her hair was perfectly done and would have made all of the Aphrodite cabin jealous, heck it would have made all the girls from every cabin jealous. She also had beautiful blue eyes. She glanced around the common room ignoring the usual lust filled stares she was receiving and smiled when her eyes eventually landed on Percy. She gracefully made her way over where she kissed Percy softly on the cheek.

Percy grinned at her before turning to his shocked cousins "Guys this if my girlfriend Fleur Delacour. Fleur these are my two cousins Nico di Angelo and Thalia Grace.

Fleur smiled at them "It is a pleasure to meet you both, Percy has told me all about you."

Thalia nodded "You to, and whatever he said about us was a lie don't believe any of it."

Nico eventually came out of his shock at the beautiful girl in front of him maybe because the allure wasn't as strong on him after awhile or maybe because Thalia slapped him in the back of the head but nonetheless he came around eventually. "Yeah it's a pleasure to meet Percy's girlfriend that he always talks about he's told me a lot about you to." Nico said.

"Really"Fleur said with raised eyebrows. When Nico nodded she continued "Because we just got together yesterday." Nico blushed when his cousins and his cousins girlfriend laughed at his expense. "Hey I was just trying to be polite." Nico said. Percy smiled "We'll see you two later." Percy grabbed Fleur's hand and walked out of the common room to the Great Hall.

"So are you ready to put your name in the Goblet?" Percy asked.

Fleur nodded "I have been waiting for a chance to prove myself for a long time now that an opportunity has arisen I will not let it slide by."

Percy smiled down at her "I'm sure after this tournament nobody will question you anymore."

They mostly walked in silence the rest of the way occasionally making small talk as to not make it an awkward silence. Even though they just met Percy already felt he knew her more than anybody else. It mostly had to do with the fact that demigods had a lot of secrets and most people weren't to keen on sharing that information with just anyone. That meaning that while at camp they didn't really tell each other a whole lot unless they were your siblings and Percy couldn't really see Theseus sitting quietly and listening to everything Percy had to say with a clipboard in his hands while Percy laid down on a couch. The thought actually made Percy laugh a little which got him a strange glance from Fleur but she didn't say anything. They walked into the Great Hall to see people watching as people put their names into the Goblet of Fire. Percy let go of Fleur's hand, pulled out a piece of parchment,split it into two halves, and gave one half to Fleur before writing his name down walking across the age line and putting his name into the Goblet. Fleur did the same before they sat down together at the Gryffindor table. Percy was dreading the middle of the year when he would have to go to the Hufflepuff table by himself.

Time Skip

Everystudent from every school was sitting in the Great Hall awaiting the pick of the champions. There wasn't one person in the hall that wasn't excited or at least curious about the picks for school champion. Albus Dumbledore was known for being dramatic so he had everyone on the edge of their seats eagerly waiting while he took his precious time.

"Any Second now." Lee Jordan whispered at the Gryffindor table. The flames inside the goblet turned suddenly red again. Sparks began to fly from it. Next moment, a tongue of flame shot into the air and a charred piece of parchment came out of the goblet and came into the waiting hands of Albus Dumbledore.

"The Durmstrang champion is Victor Krum." He announced. To receive applauds from many in the room. "No surprises there!" yelled Ron Weasley eagerly clapping for his favorite professional quidditch player. Another piece of parchment came out of the goblet.

"The Beauxbatons champion is Fleur Delacour." Fleur got up to claps from all around the school the loudest being from her boyfriend.

"The Hogwarts Champion is Percy Jackson." Percy stood up, nodded to acknowledge the applause he was receiving and strode out of the Great Hall to the room where the other two champions were. When Fleur saw him she ran up ad hugged him.

"We did it." She said excitedly.

Percy nodded and was about to say more when Harry came in looking heartbroken. "Whats wrong?" Percy asked. Harry didn't reply because at that time all the teachers, headmasters, and ministry officials for the three schools stormed into the room bombarding him with questions. Percy figured out that they thought that Harry put his name in the goblet and he had an idea.

Percy pulled out his wand and muttered the voice amplification spell "Sonorus." "I have a way to prove Harry's innocence." He said gaining everyone's attention. "Well Mr. Jackson let's hear it." Said Snape sneering at him. "Fine Harry pull out your wand and be prepared to repeat after me." Harry did as told so he continued "I Harry James Potter swear on my magic and my life that I did not place my name in the Goblet of Fire nor did I ask an older student to place my name inside of it so mote it be." When he finished a swirl of blue came out of his wand to show that the oath was made. Gasps were heard and noises of disbelief.

"If Potter didn't do it than who did?" Snape asked.

"That doesn't matter right now let's discuss the rules for this tournament." Said Dumbledore. "Mr. Bagman if you please."

"The first task will take place on November the twenty-fourth, in front of the other students and a panel of judges. The champions are not allowed to ask for help of any kind from their teachers to complete in the tournament. The second task information will be given out when the first is completed. Any Questions?" He asked.

"Good" said Dumbledore "You should all head back and get some sleep and be on the lookout since we all know Harry didn't put himself in this tournament."

AN: Next Chapter will be the first task and that is when the real action starts. I wanted to do something to prove Harry's innocence in this story cause that always got on my nerves in canon. If they have truth potions and unbreakable vows why didn't anyone tell Harry to use one. Anyway, next chapter will be up sooner with reviews.
