Chapter 8- In the wee hours of the Morning

Annabeth's POV

I woke up earlier than the others, feeling a bit traumatized with last night's events. If those were monsters, I wouldn't have a problem. I was skilled with a sword, but I wasn't able to use it. Malfoy was with Silena and me. I couldn't use my Yankees cap. I felt like for the first time, I had to run. And I felt very upset. The wizarding world scares me, they have all this magic, I have a sword. They could kill me before I get to slash them.

This is why when I get to Hogwarts, I will excel. I must. I have to.

I just can't afford to be unable. All my life I've been known to be Annabeth the prodigy. I was capable of a lot. But here, I feel weak.

"Annabeth?" A voice calls my name and I turn, knowing who it was.

"Hey Seaweed brain." I say softly, shivering.

"Here." He wraps a blanket around me, smiling. "I can't believe we're off to Hogwarts tomorrow..I mean, well later."

I nod, feeling very nice that he was here.

"It's scaring me, Percy. We're here, in a new world. Where we were nothing but beginners."

"We will always be beginners." He says. "I mean I will. I'm sure after a weak at Hogwarts you will be ace-ing the tests with flying colors."

I grunt a bit, rolling my eyes. "I have to, Percy."

He laughs, and I stare at him. Percy always makes me feel safe, warm. "Who was that guy who brought Silena and you home?" He asks, and my expression shifts.

"No one. He goes to Hogwarts though. I feel that he is very different. I disliked him the first time I saw him. Silena seems to like him, they've been acting like a couple the whole game."

"Well you know how Silena is."

"Yes. She does that with you too. I'm sorry for making you guys worry."

He smiles at me and he holds my hand. Then I remember that I kissed him at the labyrinth, it brings a smile on my face, but it made me feel uncomfortable.

I hope he forgot about the kiss. But I surely can't

This chapter is very short. I knew I had to update, but finals are coming up so I have to concentrate. I promise to post more as soon as school's over. Thank you for favorite-ing/reviewing/subscribing XD
