Hey everybody! Sorry for the A/N last time! Anyhow, kudos to my Guest reviewer! You made my day!

I. No. Own.

Ps. I did say that my church expected us to go without electronics, didn't I? Oh, and by the end of this chapter, you're going to be begging for SundayđŸ˜‰

Chapter 20, Harry POV,

As November came to a close, everything was fine. There had been no flashbacks or nightmares, as far as anyone could tell. Percy and Annabeth were avidly planning their wedding, and Annabeth had even taken off a few days to go dress shopping with her friends. However, as December came upon Hogwarts, tension rose. Students of all ages were cramming last minute for exams.

And most significantly, the flashbacks and nightmares came back. No one, not even McGomagle knows why, only Percy and Annabeth,NAND they weren't going to tell anyone. In the second week of December, Gyffindor tower was woken every night to screams, and tonight was no different.

I hop out of bed, and race down the stairs to the Common Room, and am met with the usual plethora of concerned students. Over the past term, everyone has come to love Percy and Annabeth in record time. Even though Annabeth isn't truly one of our professors, and Percy's only been here for a few months, everyone in the school has developed an extreme loyalty towards the pair.

I fling open the door to the Jackson's (or the "too be" Jackson's) rooms, and scurry up the steps. Percy has Annabeth curled up to his chest, his arms around her. He sees me in the doorway, and presses a finger to his lips, motioning for quiet. I knodd in understanding, and shoot him a questionong glance, meaning to ask How is she? Do you need anything? Percy must understand because, he gestures me closer, and whispers in my ear.

"Another blanket would be great. Thanks, Harry." I give him a smile, amd go the large cabinet and pull obaa large quilt. It looks to be madfor rom old tee shirts, a boy's collection of shirts. I realize that these must be Percy's old tees. The one in the very center catches my eye. It's made of worn orange cotten, and has the letters "C.H.B" written underneath a silhouette of a rearing pegasus.

I hurryback over to the couple, and wrap the blanket around the both of them. "Let me know if you need anything else. I'll let McGonagle know what happened." Percy smiles thankfully at me, and I clamber down the stairs again. By the time I get there, the only people left by the fire in the Common Room are Ginny, Ron, and Hermione.

They look up as I come down. Ginny asks me, but I know she's speaking for the three of them. "Are they alright?"

"They're fine. Annabeth just had another nightmare, and Percy was trying to coax hAmato talk about it. I brought them another blanket, then left." With that, Ginny kissed me on the cheek, and climbed back up the stairs to the girls dorms.

I sighed, and sank in to the chair that Ginny had been in, running a hand through my unruly hair. " They're goingntonhave to tell everyone soon. About their secret. They can't keep people from asking questions, and so many students are already wondering. Either that, or McGonagle will."

In he morning, I could see McGonagle having a hushed conversation with the tired duo. Eventually, they sat, but neither Percy or Annabeth touched their food. This is itself is unusual. Percy will eat anything like it's his last meal. Just before McGonagle dismissed everyone to classes, she stood, and began to speak. "Students! After dinner tonight, please stay in your seats! Our staff has an announcement to make! Now, hurry on to your classes, and pay attention to your professors! Yes, that includes you, Mr. Weasley." Everyone laughs.


In Defense today, we did another simulation. This time, it was every witch/wizard for themselves, agents whatever monster Percy and Annabeth through at us. I hd to "face" Echidna. Half-woman, half-snake. It took me a good hour to finnish her off. When I returned to Reality, I could see a few of my class mates still not awake, struggling to finnish off their monsters. After another few minutes, everyone was awake, the annual story began. Percy began. "Now, a more recent story, though this is still history, if you put it in perspective. Now a long time ago, there was a boy. And he didn't know yet who he was, but he would soon find out…" Throughout the entire story, Percy and Annabeth never mentioned any names or places, but I know who and where this was about. Percy and Annabeth. Class was dismissed.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, stay a minute?" The soft voice of Annabeth turned us back.

"Yeah?" I asked.

Percy wrapped his arm around Annabeth's waist. "First, we want to thank you, Harry. For helping us. And second, to give you these." Percy held out three envelopes. I opened mine. It read-

Mr. Harry J. Potter,

You are invited to attend the holy union of Annabeth Chase and Perseus Jackson, on June 21st, at sunrise, Long Island, New York. The address is further enclosed.

Thank you! Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson

I grinned. The envelope had been closed with a fish sticker. But they finally set a date! "Congrats, you two! Thanks for inviting us! Percy, love your choice in stickers."

Annabeth laughed. "I made him put Perseus , so he got to choose the stickers. Oh! And here's one for your girlfriend!" She passed me another envelope with a wink.

Before she could say anything else, Percy cut back in. "The last reason why we called you back is the announcement later. We're telling everyone about our heritage. We're going to need your support. If you'll give it."

Hermione, Ron, and I immediately nod. "Of course we will!"

"Hurry on then, go to your lunch."

I was anxious through the rest of the day. What will everyone think about Percy and Annabeth? Dinner came almost too quickly. I didn't touch my food, and Ginny was worried for me, but didn't say anything. McGonagle rose.

"Students! As you may have realized, we have been host to two very important guests this year. Professor JAckson and Ms. Chase, however, are not who you may think they are. Perseus, Annabeth? If you would." McGonagle sat again.

Percy and Annabeth stood, hands entwined. Peryc spoke up first. "Hey everybody. So, I would hope that after these months, you all trust Annabeth and I, at least a bit. Raise your hand if you do."

Nearly every hand in the Hall was raised. Percy smiled at this. "Good. Thank you for that. How many of you trust us unconditionally?"

Annabeth jabbed him in the ribs. Hard. "Such big words, Seaweed Brain. I bought you well." Majority of the hands in the Hall were being raised as Percy kissed her on the cheek and muttered something about daughters of battle-stratagy goddesses. "Thank you for you support, you can put your hands down now. I can trust that all of you remember the lessons that Seaweed over here and I have given you on the Greek Gods, yes?" Percy pouted and the students laughed.

Together, they spoke. "They're real."
