Chapter 4: Annabeth

Disclaimer, I'm not going to go on and write a whole chapter on each day as I want to progress the plot and get to the Harry Potter part. I'll just do highlights from each person's POV of each day.

Demigod sleep absolutely sucks. The day overall was quite good. I went to the canoe lake with Percy and we got a neat quest. We found out there were wizards and witches that just walk around like normal people. We had exactly one week before we packed off to England and then went to a school in Scotland named after a deformed pig's skin. Then we had to protect a kid called Harry Potter from a dark wizard who is called Lord Voldemort and since everyone is too scared to say Voldemort, they call him He Who Must Not Be Named, (which is stupid already) or You Know Who. Actually I don't know who. Gosh, I'm ranting like Percy now. Yeah, it's as crazy as it sounds.

With all that nice information to digest I went to Percy's cabin and curled up next to him.

"Goodnight Wise Girl," he murmured in my ear.

"You too Seaweed Brain," I murmured back.

I was told we were going to be blessed with magic as we slept and I wasn't ready for it. Turns out being blessed with magic and also being a demigod amplify your dreams tenfold. It was not a fun experience. We had kept a streak of one whole week without any nightmares of Tartarus, but I couldn't hold back the memories anymore. I slipped into another torturous flashback of Tartarus.

*FLASHBACK*
"Percy!" My voice cracked. "Why did you leave me? I heard a ringing voice of my Percy, coming from far away.

"I didn't" Percy abandoned me and white smoke clouded my vision. I couldn't see but I was left with one sinking feeling. Percy and I had been through so much, but he had still abandoned me. I had to find him.

"Percy, Percy where are you? Percy!" I shouted. I continued to shout for ages and I collapsed on the floor crying. "PERCY!" I screamed in desperation. Two pairs of strong hands grasped me from behind and the thing put a forefinger to my forehead. A voice echoed

"Owie!" I said lightly. Suddenly, my vision cleared and I looked up. I saw Bob and turned around to see a bloodied and bruised Percy.

"PERCY!" I screamed. Percy was dying, I could feel it.

"Bob, heal Percy I ordered!"

"No, he betrayed me," he said lightly. I watched helplessly as Percy was impaled by Bob's broomstick.

"NO!" I screamed. I screamed and screamed as I held Percy's lifeless body.

*END FLASHBACK*(I know I'm evil and I know that didn't happen. I just felt like that would be a heart-wrenching moment for Annabeth.)

Percy:

I awoke to a terrible, ear-splitting sound. Annabeth screamed

"PERCY!"

"Bob heal Percy!" After a pause of about 5 seconds, she screamed again

"NO PERCY!" She screamed my name over and over. I held her close to me.

"Annabeth, I'm right here, you are never getting away from me again.

"Percy, Bob just killed you." She started sobbing hysterically. Tears cascaded down my cheek as I whispered into my ear

"Annabeth, it's just a nightmare, Bob is our friend he would never hurt us at all. He is loyal, I'm right here. Bob would never do a thing. It's just a nightmare." I said soothingly. After many minutes and many tears on both our parts. She stopped shaking and I calmed her down

"I'm sorry Seaweed Brain. So much for a whole week without nightmares." She laughed softly.

"It's alright Annabeth, I'm right here and no one's ever going to separate us ever again." I whispered as I pushed her into a kiss. After what felt like an hour or two, we broke apart. She laughed her mirthful laugh and replied

"We really should get to sleep."

"I agree, we can go back to kissing and doing whatever else we want in the morning, with all our new magic powers. Preferably after some blue pancakes." She muttered something that sounded like

"Stupid Percy." Within a matter of minutes she had slipped back into her sleep. I felt myself dozing off and I wandered the realm of Hypnos again. It felt that only a matter of seconds I was being shaken awake by Annabeth.

"Percy! Wake up Seaweed Brain!"

"Five more minutes," I groaned

"There are blue pancakes," she whispered in my ear. That did it, I bolted up immediately.

"What's the time Wise Girl?"

"It's about 9:30, why?"

"Aren't the rest of the seven coming at noon?"

"Annabeth's eyes opened with alertness."

"Oh yeah. We have about two hours to make this mess of a cabin acceptable while having breakfast." She said all this extremely quickly and I barely heard it. I was told we were blessed with magic yesterday, however, Chiron said we wouldn't be able to do magic until we got our wands. He also said that we had one week to study all the subjects we were taking and become reasonable adept so we could actually pass as wizards.

We were told that we took the same seven core subjects and we had to take at least two more. We all had to take Divination and Care of Magical Creature as that was what the 'Golden Trio' were taking. However, I had a feeling that most of us were going to take Ancient Runes, understanding ancient Greek and all. Annabeth and I made ourselves look acceptable and we marched out of the Poseidon at about 10:00. What took us half an hour to get properly dressed? I'll leave that to your imagination.

We rocked up to breakfast and had our fill, sacrificing our food to Hecate and our godly parents. I marched off to the Poseidon table while Annabeth wandered off to the Athena table. I glanced over at the Zeus table and saw Jason and I looked at their respective tables and saw each member of The Seven. I quickly finished my blue food with gusto and rushed off with Annabeth to the Poseidon Cabin. We had an hour to clean up my cabin and not let it look like a hurricane had come through (They might blame me). We cleared up the bed and the surrounding bunks until they looked acceptable. I polished the water fountain and straightened my Minotaur Horn. When they eventually rocked up they opened the door and jumped straight in unannounced. But it didn't bother me.

"Hey guys! You ready to learn some magic!" I said dramatically.

"Seaweed Brain, you would probably blow up the school if we gave you a want right now." Annabeth replied.

"Yeah Seaweed Brain, don't blow stuff up. That's my job." Leo said sarcastically. I turned towards him and shot him a glare that would make Thunderpants back into a corner and run to his mum. Leo paled and backed into Piper, who glared at him.

"Leo, no one calls me Seaweed Brain except Annabeth." I threatened.

"Chill Perce, it was just a joke."

"If you guys are done arguing, we need to start learning some magic stuff." Hazel interrupted.

"Oh shut up Misty-magicky Hazel, you practically know magic already. Leo said. Things escalated from there and Leo and Hazel got into a full on fight. Jason finally interfered and thunder exploded outside, calming the two down.

"Where are we going to learn magic from?" Piper asked worriedly.

I looked at Annabeth and she shrugged

"I dunno, maybe if we say, Oh Hecate please give us some books so we can learn magic!". I laughed after this but then paled as a huge pile of books appeared on each of the beds.

"Yeah, that's exactly what you needed to say Seaweed Brain," said Annabeth, smirking.

The rest of the day passed as a blur, we learnt a lot about Astronomy and Care of Magical Creatures and it turned out that basically everyone knew about Astronomy and the constellations. Everyone except Piper was competent at Care of Magical Creatures. We touched up on Charms and Leo made fun of her non-stop that due to her charmspeak, she wouldn't be able to get a question wrong. Turns out he was right as and Piper absolutely aced this topic. Jason was also really amazing and Annabeth, who was basically perfect at everything was amazing as well. Me? I did okay, but half the time I hadn't got a clue what they were on about. We ended up stopping there and we all agreed to meet in the Athena Cabin next and Annabeth promised to shoo everyone out.

Annabeth:

Yesterday was really fun. I absolutely adored all these magical subjects and I thought I was very good at Charms and competent with everything else. When I showed Percy what I got wrong, he grumbled and said that it was illegal for me to complain when I got such good results on that mini quiz we did. Today we were hanging out in my cabin and we were going to do a lot more magical studies.

We met up at noon again and we started to learn Divination, Herbology and History of Magic. Divination it turns out, was very imprecise though it turned out it was quite similar to what Rachel, our Oracle did. It was all about predicting the future. No one except me really managed to grasp the subject. Hazel and Piper complained non stop about how complex the subject was and how there was no need for us to learn it when we had Rachel to do all this stuff. Percy got so irritated at their constant speech he went up to Rachel's new pad and fetched her to shut them up. They got even more annoyed when Rachel, almost lazily answered all the questions. After she got a perfect score on the mini-quiz she made an excuse and dashed off to her cave. Herbology as it turns out, wasn't so bad. Frank and Hazel were actually quite good but no one else really shined. They said it was from sentry duty and how they spent hours just watching the plants and learning to identify them. However, they were stumped and started doing poorly when they started talking about the Venemous Tentacula and the Mandrake. I still paid attention and did well. History of Magic as it turns out, has to be the most boring subject of all wizard-kind. The books were packed about long droning passages about Giant Wars and Goblin Rebellions. Percy and Jason's eyes were glazed over and they were staring dreamily off into space. Leo however, was paying rapt attention and actually seemed to find the subject remotely interesting. He actually sat still and managed to read almost the entire book, and he was dyslexic so it was an accomplishment. We decided to call it quits after that and decided to meet up at the Zeus Cabin next as it would be completely empty.

Jason:

Yesterday was quite uneventful. We had to read books upon books droning on and on about Giant Wars and Goblin Rebellions and nothing that was remotely interesting. Herbology was fairly cool but they lost me on all the names of the plants. Divination was also extremely boring and I ended up completely messing up Percy's life line and ended up saying that he should've died Last Tuesday. To my surprise, he laughed and replied

"I probably would've died about 5 years ago; the Fates hate me that way."

We met up in my cabin and we decided to do Defence against the Dark Arts, Potions and Transfiguration. We read lots of Defence books and it turns out that all of us had a natural affinity for it. We all understood almost everything we were told and when we did the mini-quiz right at the end, we all did very well. Next, we did Potions. Frank and Annabeth were very good at Potions and Percy. Percy was absolutely godly at Potions. He knew literally everything in the book and absolutely aced the mini-quiz. Me? I went to pieces when trying to wrap my head around potions. I had absolutely no idea what to do. I rushed and we moved onto transfiguration. Frank was amazing given the whole shape-shifting thing and Leo was also very good. Annabeth of course, was perfect and Hazel was also decent. Percy, Piper and I weren't bad by any means, but we weren't exactly good. At the end, we decided to meet at the Aphrodite Cabin and keep progressing.

Piper:

Yesterday was decent. We learnt Defence Against the Dark Arts which everyone was very good at. Potions was a scene and a half. Percy Jackson, the one who barely paid any attention to anything else actually paid attention to his book and did amazingly. I did pretty terribly and Jason and I ended up just cuddling and not paying attention. Jason, Percy and I weren't bad by any stretch of the imagination but we didn't do too well. We had covered all the subjects and left to do our own revision.

Percy and Annabeth went into a corner and started making out instead of studying. Jason and I persevered and did a lot of revision for Potions. I helped him with Charms and he helped me with Astronomy, which I found quite difficult. Leo went about just messing around and spooking Frank and Hazel, trying to get Frank to turn into an iguana. I ended up charm speaking him to calm down and do his revision. Percy and Annabeth who had finally started to do their revision decided that Percy needed the most help with Charms and Herbology and decided to revise that. Percy even gave Annabeth a few tips about potions. They were so cute! Stop it Piper, I mentally chided myself, Your inner Aphrodite is showing. After that, the day was quite uneventful and we decided to meet up in Hazel's cabin.

It's at this point where things get quite boring as it's just revision and I really have no idea what to write about. I'm just going to skip to Leo (Sorry Hazel and Frank!). By the way, I'm going to clarify what everyone's good at.

Percy: DADA, Potions, Ancient Runes, Kinda Care of Magical Creatures (Water Based)

Annabeth: Basically Everything

Jason: Astronomy, Ancient Runes and DADA (Astronomy because Sky)

Piper: Charms, Ancient Runes and DADA (Charmspeak Anyone?)

Hazel: DADA, Ancient Runes, Charms, Transfiguration, Astronomy (She's just good at magic because The Mist)

Frank: Transfiguration, DADA, Ancient Runes and Kinda Potions (Shape-Shifter + Blood of Poseidon)

Leo: DADA, Ancient Runes, History of Magic and Transfiguration (Inventor and he's just interested in History) CHAPTER COMMENCE!

Leo:

Yesterday, some creepy stuff went down. We were summoned to Olympus and Hecate said that she was going to transport us back into our fifteen-year-old bodies. Percy and Annabeth had it worst. They were being aged back two, almost three years. Hecate summoned the pure mist that swirled around their bodies and lifted them up into the air. The mist wrapped them like a thick blanket and went into their mouths. They were gently lowered towards the ground where they passed out. In about a minute they stood up and assessed their new bodies. They looked mostly the same except Annabeth and Percy were now the same height and Percy had a bit less muscle, and they both now had an odd streak of grey hair down the side of their head. Annabeth had said that they had held up the sky and the exertion had caused them to leave with some grey hair, so that's where it came from. Hecate then pointed towards Piper and Jason. The same process happened to them. When they came to they looked almost the exact same, their height had changed and Jason's hair went to a slightly darker shade of blonde as opposed to his corn-silk current hair. Hecate then gestured to us and I thought it was the freakiest thing that happened to me. The mist seemed to whisper in my ear and I now realised what Jason meant when they said that many people don't survive an encounter with Hecate. The pure mist had such a huge power that prolonged exposure would drive you insane. The mist began to enter my mouth and I passed out. After about two minutes I regained consciousness but I lost a lot of my muscle that I gained. I thought Dammit. Just when I thought I was getting less scrawny. I almost shrunk a lot. However, Frank went a huge transformation and went from a bulky, linebacker style look back to his original look of an oversized panda. I mean, I felt really sad as he probably was teased for his appearance a lot. Hecate gestured to Hazel and gave a little monologue.

"Hazel, my prodigy, many people wouldn't be able to survive this transformation as their body hasn't aged this far. However, your affinity for the mist will allow you to survive this forward aging process."

Hecate waved her hand and the same process happened again and when the mist cleared I thought that her appearance was quite similar. Her face and body just matured which really freaked me out. We thanked Hecate and rushed back to camp.

That was yesterday. Today, in my super ADHD opinion today was going to be amazing as it was finally the day that we would be going on the quest. Over the last few days we did so much goddamn revision that we basically knew our textbooks back to front and we were each adept at a different specific thing. We were all exceedingly nervous for a new quest, but all excited because we would finally actually do some magic. We were excellent with the theory so we thought that using magic with a stupid stick couldn't be that hard. We were all silent. I was silent. Doesn't that strike you as odd? I'm not going to lie. I was scared as hell. We were shipping off to Britain to a school named after a deformed pig's skin to study magic. I was anxious as anything. We all jumped about five feet and Frank used the old iguana trick. He turned back into a human and rushed to the door. Chiron was just outside the door with a worried expression. Children, it's time for the quest.

Oh my days. That was an extremely long chapter, Hope you all enjoy it. I will do this chapter of them going on the plane and arriving in Grimmauld Place, then I will do the Harry Potter part. Hope you all enjoy this Chapter. It took me like an hour or two so please review and tell me what I could improve going forward. Anyways,
