I really like this chapter. It's kinda a laid back relaxed chapter with some Percabeth and Silena/Beckendorf. Sorry for spelling mistakes, but it's late, (00.35am) and I really have on energy left to check everything.

Percy walked down the stair and looked around for Annabeth; he spotted her sitting in a chair in front of the now dead fire. A small smirk came across his face as he silently made his way over to her. It was about 10:30 on Saturday, anyone who wasn't in the common room was either heading down to breakfast or still asleep. Percy reached the back of Annabeth's chair and slowly slid his hands over her eyes. She immediately stiffened. He lent his head down next to her ear,

"Guess who." He whispered, his breath tickling her skin and sending a shiver down her spine. She relaxed when she heard his voice.

"Oh I don't know. Connor?" She said smiling. Percy huffed,

"No!" He said. Annabeth laughed and moved Percy's hands with her own.

"Seaweedbrian." She said quietly smiling up at him.

"Come on." Percy said pulling her up from the chair and towards the portrait hole.

"Where are we going?" She asked laughing as they headed down the stairs.

"For breakfast." Percy said like it was the most obvious thing.

"But I was men't to be waiting for Rachel." She said still laughing at Percy's hurry.

"She'll survive. We've not spent any time together since we've been here. What's a few hours with your boyfriend gonna do?" Percy asked stopping a moment and turning to face her. Their face's where millimetres apart, Percy leaned down and placed a small kiss on the side of Annabeth's mouth then began walking again without waiting for her answer.

"I guess." She said slightly dazed.

After the pair had grabbed some breakfast they headed outside. The air was warm and only a few clouds littered the sky above, Annabeth and Percy walked down towards the lake where a tall tree stood overlooking the water.

"Of course you'd choose the lake to go to." Annabeth laughed as Percy pulled her along.

"Come one! " Percy said pulling her towards the water.

"I can't breathe underwater seaweed brain." Annabeth said as they stopped at the edge of the lake.

"Do you trust me?" Percy asked holding out his hand to her, a small on his face. Annabeth looked at his hand then up at his face,

"I guess I do." She said taking his hand. They walked into the lake until the water was up to their waists, Annabeth prepared herself for feeling wet and the water hitting her face when they went under, but it never came.

"Open your eyes." Percy voice said next to her ear, she did slowly and was shocked at what she was seeing. The water was clear and cold, all along the bottom of the lake bed where multicoloured plants that couldn't be seen from the surface. Everywhere she looked fish swam about, some came close to them nudging Percy then darting off again.

"This is amazing!" She said looking over at Percy who was still holding her hand.

"Come on it gets better." Percy said and he pulled her along the bottom on the lake and through a patch of tall water plant things, when they came out the other side sat amongst the ruins of an old building was a giant squid.

"Percy stop won't you know, attack?" Annabeth asked eyeing the squid nervously.

"Nah the old guy's harmless." He said as though he'd had many convocations with the large sea creature. Then again he might, Annabeth told herself.

"These ruins must have been here for a very long time." I said looking at the old stones along the lake bed, I ran my hand along one of them feeling the how rough and yet smooth it was.

"They have. There use to be a huge underwater house right here for my dad and all the sea creatures in the lake but then something happened and it was destroyed. My dad's not been here since then and Lex here still guards the place, even though it was destroyed long ago." Percy said patting, Lex. Annabeth looked around again and tried to imagine instead of ruins a grand underwater house fit for the god of the seas.

"Why was it destroyed?" She asked still looking around. When he didn't answer right away she turned around to see him talking to Lex.

"He says there was a fight, between the wizards and the demigods. They nearly killed each other for power and when the gods saw how close they came to destroying each other then separated the two worlds. This is why it's strange they've brought us together again." Percy said looking up at Annabeth.

"Dumbledore said there was history between both worlds and not all of it was good." Annabeth said quietly looking around at the ruins again. "We can't let this happen again. Maybe we can bring the two worlds together again." She said looking back at Percy. Percy nodded.

"Come on Wise girl we need to get back up, training starts in twenty minutes and I for one don't want to get shouted at by Thalia or Clarisse." Percy said pulling Annabeth along and away from the once grand house.

-Meanwhile on a corridor somewhere-

"So you plant the Decoy Detonators and I'll spike the drinks with puking pastels." Fred said pointing at Connor who nodded.

"And while that's going on we'll be redecorating the grand staircase." Travis said indicating him and George.

"Remember you'll only have 15 minutes tops then you need to get back to the feast." Fred said.

"Got it." Said George.

"Oh this is going to be fun." Connor said rubbing his hands together.

"Damn right it will be!" Travis said high fiving his brother.

-Near the Quidditch Pitch-

"Does it get any easier?" Kayla asked Nico as the pair walked towards the Quidditch Pitch.

"Does what get any easier?" Nico asked caught off guard.

"This demigod thing. Or is it always like last night." She said this time looking at him.

"Nah you were lucky, you got to meet Kronos before any monsters and survived." Nico said laughing a bit. "It gets easier Kayla, trust me. Once you learnt to defend yourself against the things out there and learn to use your powers things are a lot easier."

"So I have to go to your camp? And train? Does that mean I can't come here anymore?" She asked gesturing to the castle and everything around.

"Are you kidding? You belong here, more than anyone else. You don't have to come to camp, though it would be best for you. You're lucky they haven't sense you yet." Nico said.

"I guess. As long as I can come here every year, I guess camp every summer wouldn't be too bad." Kayla said.

"You'll love it. There archery and sword fighting, Pegasus riding larva wall and Capture the flag every Friday, but normally Kronos doesn't show up. And you'll love you're siblings there; they'll teach you things they can't teach you here. It'll be good for you." Nico said smiling, just thinking about camp made him miss it. Ever since Percy had made the Gods promise to claim their kids and that the minor gods got respect and cabins along with Hades; camp had welcomed Nico every time he turned up hungry.

-By the lake-

Beckendorf's POV

"Ooo look he's hold her hand." Silena said in my ear as we watch Percy lead Annabeth into the water.

"I thought we were men't to be spending time together not spying on Percy and Annabeth." I groaned. Silena had woken me up early saying we should spend some time together which I agreed to, only to be dragged down to the lake.

"Oh shh. We're spending time together aren't we?" She asked not even looking at me.

"You're lucky I love you." I said quietly, I guess she heard me because she squeezed my hand a little tighter.

"I waited five years for them to get together and they finally realise after I die they're men't to be." Silena said, I couldn't help but let out a laugh; that was all she complained about, how she missed the big moment when they finally kissed. I looked around, while Silena kept looking at the lake.

"Hey never mind those two, what about those two?" I said pointing towards the Quidditch pitch where I could see Nico and Kayla walking together.

"Oh my gods! They would make such a cute couple!" Silena squealed.

"You think everyone would make a cute couple." I muttered, luckily this time she didn't hear me.

"We have to get those two together." She said, I recognised the look on her face, I sighed.

"We?" I asked. "Meddling in peoples love lives is your job, I just build things." I said.

"Awww Charlie come on, I can't do this on my own." She said giving me her best puppy dog eyes. I inwardly groaned she knew I couldn't say no now.

"Fine." I said.

"Yay!" Silena squealed again. "You're the best Charlie." She said. I chuckled.

"Which is why you love me." I said. In response she stood up and came close to me until we were only inches apart, she stood on her tip toes and I closed the remaining distance my lowing my head, I could feel her breath on my face, it was warm and smelt like oranges.

"Which is exactly why I love you." She said quietly before pressing her lips against mine. I would never get use to how amazing it was to kiss her, soft and sweet but at the same time each time we kissed it was like all are feelings went into that kiss.

Gods I love this girl. I thought to myself.

-Quidditch Pitch, Training session.-

Third Person POV

The demigods and wizards were at the Quidditch pitch and the training session was well underway when Sirius and Remus turned up, both having been talking to Dumbledore.

"Right now we're gonna do a team work exercise." Percy shouted over the nose of clanging metal. "Line up formation, Wizards stand next to your partner, we're gonna use everything we've taught you. Defend before attacking. Rachel on the count of three." Rachel nodded and stood next to three creates.

"Oi you two come open up a crate each." Rachel shouted over Sirius and Remus. When they each had hold of a create Rachel began the countdown. "Three...Two...One!" She shouted opening the slide at the same time as Sirius and Remus.

Two dracaena, a Telkhine and four scorpions all curtsey of Triple G Ranch. The six creatures went straight towards the line of demigods and wizards. While the demigods where all ready and prepared, Clarisse even looked happy, the wizards looked nervous.

"Stick together and keep yourself defended!" Percy shouted. "BREAK!"

The line broke. Thalia, Parvati, Clarisse and Ginny took on one of the scorpions. Percy, Harry, Will, Dean, Annabeth and Hermione took on one of the dracaena. Pollux, Neville, Grover and Padma took on the Telkhine. Connor, George, Travis and Fred where running around confusing the other dracaena. Silena, Luna, Katie and Cho were dealing with another scorpion, while Beckendorf and Romilda dealt with the other one, leaving Nico, Ron and Kayla with the last scorpion.

Rachel, Sirius and Remus watch from the sidelines as a metal clanged and colour was everywhere.

"Isn't this dangerous?" Remus asked.

"Very." Rachel replied.

"Then shouldn't we, I don't no stop them? Help them?" he asked.

"They know what they're doing; this is what they train for. Plus this is nothing compared to what they've had to face before." Rachel said, her mind going back to Manhattan a year ago when she'd turned up in the middle of a battle in a helicopter that nearly crashed. Good times. She thought to herself sarcastically.

Soon all that was left of the once living and moving creatures was piles of dust. The demigods looked a bit tired but just by looking at them you could tell their energy levels were high and the adrenaline was still pumping through their vines. The wizards seemed okay, but Romilda was shaking and Padma was clinging to Grover's shoulder as if her life depends on it. While the others seemed to be coping with it just fine.

"Right who's injured?" Will asked standing in front of them. The majority of the wizards raised their hands while only Kayla, Pollux and Travis did. Will spent the next 15 minutes patching up the wizards while Kayla, Pollux and Travis had some nectar and a tiny piece of Ambrosia each.

"What exactly was the point of that?" Dean asked. He had cut along in left arm which he's done himself, but other than that he looked ecstatic like it was the most fun he'd had in a long while.

"To show you what we have to face, imagine that only on a bigger scale and instead of working in group you're on your own." Annabeth said moving her hair out of her face.

-Great Hall, Dinner-

George's POV

Everything was set. Me and Travis were reading and waiting to leave the hall as soon as the decoy kicked in to action, which would be any minuet- BEEEEEEEP!- Now!

Me and Travis left the hall and quickly got to work on the stair case. I set off two of the portable party's sending balloons and streamers everywhere while Travis was on the ceiling, thanks to his cool flying shoes. Next I started weaving steamers through the banisters and drawing fake moustaches on some paintings.

"Are we done?" I asked as Travis came down.

"I think so." He said nodding at everything. I looked up at the ceiling at the bottom on the staircases to see hundreds of little garden gnomes.

"Brilliant." I said high fiving him. We quickly made our way back into the hall trying not to be seen. The decoy worked. People from Slytherin and Ravenclaw were throwing up all over the place.

Once Dumbledore had settled everyone down he sent the 8 people throwing up to see Madame Pomfrey. As soon as the first one stepped out the door,

"OH MY GOD!" Everyone ran to see what was happing, including the teachers, which left us with the perfect opportunity to add the finishing touch. Fred and I both got out our wands and uttered the spell we'd been practicing; when we looked around the room again everything was purple. Travis and Connor flew around adding purple garden gnomes. These really like gnomes.

"Brilliant." Fred said I together. We quickly joined the crowd outside only to be pushed back in again by everyone turning around. I heard a lot of gasps and even some people laughing. McGonagall was the first to react,

"Who did this!" She shouted looking directly in our direction.

"Why do you always blame us?" I said faking innocence. I guess no one bought it because they all just laughed.

"I quite like it. Purple is my favourite colour you know." Dumbledore said smiling fondly around the room before looking at the four of us. "I think that is enough excitement for one night. Professor McGonagall if you would be so kind to dealing with them, but nothing to hard now." He said, that being his own way of dismissing us.

We got a lot of pats on the back as we made our way out of the hall to follow McGonagall. Another brilliant prank pulled off, this time with the help of some new friends. I thought.

-Gryffindor tower, Demigod boy's room-

Nico's POV

I was running through the halls at Hogwarts, only it was different. They were falling down and everywhere around me people were fighting. I saw demigods attacking monsters, wizards attacking other wizards in masks.

I felt myself stop and fight, I was surrounded by wizards and a few dracaena, I felt someone's back against mine as I fought. I didn't dare look around to see who is was, but they were smaller and swift with a sword and wand.

I took a step forward sending a wizard backwards, side step swipe, back step duck, forward block, forward and strike. I got into the regular rhythm, feeling where my feet should move, knowing when to block.

Everything was moving fine, I was sending wizards flying back and turning dracaena into piles of dust. Until I heard a cry of pain from behind me. I spun just in time to a dracaena remove a sword from the girl who had been fighting with me. Only then did I realise who it was, Kayla.

She fell backwards one hand gripping her side whilst the other clenched her sword; I caught her before she hit the ground. I lowered her on the floor and looked up to see we were still sounded.

"Stay back!" I shouted, I volt of energy shot through me pushing them away. I looked down at the injured girl in my arms.

"Kayla." I felt myself whisper. Her light blue eyes were dimming; I could feel her skin growing cooler as her body heat left. I could see her dying, her aura was dimming.

"Stay with me, I'll get you some help." I felt my lips move, but I knew it was no help. She was dying and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

"Nico." She voice was quite and broken, a mere echo of what it used to be. I felt her hand touch my check as something wet slid down from my eyes, tears I told myself.

"Please don't leave me." I pleaded, keeping her hand on my face with my own. I felt as her life force left her, I could almost see as the light left her body, leaving behind noting but an empty shell.

'Look around' A voice said in the back of my mind, it took all my efforts to tear my eyes away from Kayla to look around properly. Bodies littered the floor, not just of the people I'd been fighting but others. I scanned the floor looking for signs of anyone I knew, my heart almost stopped when I saw a flash a brilliant red hair only meters away, I strained my eye's to see who was and wished I hadn't when I recognised the face of one of the Weasly twins.

'You must stop this from happing. Even I do not wish to see so much bloodshed.' I looked up to a mist image of my father stood looking down at me; his eye's boring into mine.

Then I woke up. My head felt heavy and I could still feel the tears on my face. I could still see Kayla looking up at me with empty eyes.

So what ya think? Like I said, I really liked this chapter and it's also my longest one yet so I'm doubly proud. So tell me what you think, what you liked, what you didn't, what you want to see more off/less off. Let me know!
