THALIA'S P.O.V

After the Order meeting we went to a room, which was dusty yet huge. All our things were already there. We decided who sleeps where and then played a game of Never Have I Ever before sleeping. I got about 5 hours of shut-eye before I heard a familiar scream. I bolted out of bed, panting. That voice was Nico's. I turned around and saw Will trying to comfort him. I ran to both of them, and tried to comfort Nico. The others also woke up and came to help when the door burst open, and all the adults poured in. They looked like they just got out of bed, all of them in their pajamas, looking like something gave them a sudden adrenaline rush.

"What happened? We heard screaming." Tonks said.

"Ah, nothing much. Nico had a PTSD nightmare." Will said.

"If that was a nightmare, how traumatic was the actual experience?"
Molly asked, pale.

"Well, let's just say that Nico went through something which would
make Azkaban seem like an amusement park." I said.

All the adults' eyes widened and paled, especially Sirius.

"Anyways, what's the time?" Jason asked.

"Seven-thirty, why?" Lupin asked.

"7:30?! We managed to get a whole 5 hours of sleep?!" Percy exclaimed.

"More importantly, we're extremely late! We've overslept!" Katie stated.

The adults looked extremely confused, probably wondering why seven-thirty was late for us.

"Anyways, is it time for breakfast now?" Leo asked while jumping around the whole place like a little kid.

"No, breakfast starts at 9. I still have to get everything ready-" Molly was cut off by Reyna.

"How about we make breakfast then?" she said.

"Its fine Reyna, though thank you for asking. I don't want to hassle you too much." Molly answered.

"Can we at least do something to help? We're going to get bored if we stay in one place for 2 hours and then the Stolls will start pranking everybody." Lou Ellen said.

"If you insist, you could probably set the table and wake the kids up."

"Okay!" All the girls chorused, while the boys just sighed.

- Timeskip-

When we were done with setting the table, we went upstairs to the boys' room. When we opened the door, we heard Harry saying 'Don't kill Cedric! Don't kill Cedric!' in his sleep. Ron looked too nonplussed to say anything, his eyes wide and his skin pale. Percy told us to take Ron out and wake up the girls. I was too shocked to argue with him, so I grabbed Ron and led everyone out.


HARRY'S P.O.V
I was in the graveyard again. I heard Voldemort's cold voice say 'Kill the spare.'

"No! Don't kill Cedric! Don't kill Cedric!" I said.

I heard Pettigrew's voice say 'Avada Kedavra!'

I saw Cedric lying spread-eagle on the ground, dead.

Then I felt someone shaking me awake. "Harry, WAKE UP!" he said and my eyes snapped open.

I made out the figure of a boy with black hair. "Oh good, you're awake. Here's your glasses." He said while giving me my glasses.

I put on my glasses and asked "What time is it?"

"8:30, it took me a while to wake you up."

He plopped himself on the bed and asked "Do you want to talk about it?"

"About what?"

"About your dream. You were talking in your sleep. Wanna talk about it? Not that you need to, but you know….." he trailed off.

"Fine, I'll tell you 'bout it. I was at a graveyard with my friend Cedric, and Voldemort came out of nowhere and his servant k-killed Cedric."

Tears rolled down my face as I recounted the incident. The boy hugged me, and comforted me.

"Gods, Harry. Did this really happen?" he asked me once I had calmed down.

I nodded. "I'm sorry. I bet you didn't expect THE Harry Potter to act like this." I said

He gave me a sad smile. "Harry, you're still a boy, not a veteran of war. No one here sees you as Harry Potter, the Boy who Lived. We all see you as Harry Potter, a regular boy. And I know how it feels to lose a friend. But don't put the blame on yourself. You need to somehow push it away, because far worst is to come, but I know you're strong enough to face it. And if you feel sad or lonely be with Ron and Hermione, because they will be your best friends no matter what."

It took me a moment to digest his words. "Thanks a lot. But I forgot your name…." I trailed off, slightly embarrassed.

"Percy. Percy Jackson." He said with a smile.

He checked his watch and said "Oh Sticks, its 8:45. You'd probably want to freshen up. Breakfast's in 15 minutes." He then waved and exited the room.

I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and showered quickly. Then I went down to the kitchen where everyone was already eating.


NICO'S P.O.V

After we left Percy with Harry, the girls went to wake the other girls up while we guys made our way to the kitchen. When we went to the kitchen, a lady in a portrait was screaming "Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers! Half-breeds, mutant-"

"Hello, I sense that you are dead. Do you know who I am, you stupid lady?" I said

"How dare you talk to me like that?! I am Walburga Black, a pureblood unlike you!"

"It seems you don't recognize a child of death. Very well, I will introduce myself. I am Nico di Angelo, the Ghost King." I said.

She gasped and bowed "My Lord, I'm honored to meet you. I'm sorry for being so disrespectful. What can I do for you?"

"The only thing YOU can do for me is to tolerate the occupants of this house. Do this for me, or else…" I left the threat hanging.

"As you wish, my Lord." She said and closed the velvet curtains

I turned around and met everyone's astonished faces, except for my friends, who had seen more astonishing things. The girls had come back. I gave Hazel a high-five and hugged her.

We then sat down to eat and realized that we needed to burn some food for the gods.

"Hey guys, don't we need to burn food for the gods?" I said.

"How 'bout we ask someone to conjure a brazier? After all, if we tell it's a part of our religion they'll probably allow it." Jason said.

Piper cleared her throat and said "Excuse me, but can someone conjure a brazier for us? We need to sacrifice some food to the gods as it's a part of our religion." Charmspeak oozed from her voice.

"Sure, we can do that." Arthur said, his eyes lolling.

He conjured a brazier and we all sacrificed some food. When it was my turn, I sacrificed some eggs and bacon to my dad Hades.

Percy came out and got himself a plate, then sacrificed some food to his dad.

While we were eating, Harry came into the kitchen and was bombarded with questions from Ron and Hermione. Percy winked at Harry, who smiled back at him.

"What was that about?"Annabeth asked

"Harry and I had a chat when he woke up. Poor boy's been having dreams about one of his friends who died." Percy said.

We all winced. We all had lost someone dear to us, so it hurt to see somebody else who had too.

"Guys, can I just ask a quick question?" Hermione asked.

"Sure Hermione, go on." Annabeth said.

"Why do most of you siblings look so different?"

"Well Hermione, most of us are half-siblings and are only related to our sibling by our witch/wizard parent. We usually take after our muggle parent. But in the case of Thalia and Jason, Thalia takes after her wizard father while Jason takes after his muggle mother." Hazel said.

"Ohhhhhhh." She said.


The rest of the day passed quickly. We helped with the cleaning. Annabeth bonded with Hermione, Percy bonded with Harry and Fred and George bonded with Connor and Travis.

During the Order meeting of the day, I was obviously asked why there exists a place that makes Azkaban seem like an amusement park. I told them that the place was called Tartarus, named after Greek hell and it serves as a prison for the powerful dark wizards and witches that attack the children of royalty and that during the war that ended 2 weeks ago, the enemy somehow managed to drag me through Tartarus and I became a prisoner of war. Percy and Annabeth told them that they had also been to Tartarus, and they went in because a witch managed to drag them in after I escaped.

After the meeting, we Iris Messaged both the camps before going to sleep, and fortunately all of us had dreamless sleep.


A/N- AND YET ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I FINISHED THIS SO SOON. I THINK I DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB ON THAT, AND I SPECIFICALLY ENJOYED WRITING THE 'PERCY GIVES HARRY A PEP TALK' PART. ANYWAYS, REMEMBER TO R&R!
