A/N: I suggest you go read the last chapter in case you forgot what happened.
HERMIONE'S P.O.V
We were eating breakfast when the Royals came into the Hall in a big mass. The others all sat down while Percy went up to Professor Dumbledore's seat, which was, of course, occupied by him, and said a few words before retreating to the Gryffindor table.
Once the Hall was starting to get full, Dumbledore clapped his hands, stood up, and said,
"Hello everybody. I have an announcement. As I had mentioned yesterday, your former Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher was sent to Azkaban. Your new professor is Perseus Jackson-Olympia." At that, whispers broke out.
"Silence! Professor Jackson is already teaching a class called 'Basic Fighting'. To make sure no inconveniences occur, we are going to be merging this class and Defense Against the Dark Arts. That is all. I hope you enjoy your breakfast."
Dumbledore sat down, and all eyes fell on Percy (except for the Royals).
A million questions bombarded my brain, the biggest being 'Who is this boy and why is he teaching so many classes?'.
-I AM BUTTER, A TIMESKIP. THE AUTHOR HAS ASKED ME TO TAKE YOU TO A WEEK LATER-
STILL HERMIONE'S P.O.V
It is a Saturday so I went to the Library. I was itching to read some mythology. I went up to the librarian, Madam Pince, who was sorting some books, and said, "Excuse me, Madam Pince."
She looked up, and her face brightened. "Hello there, Miss Granger. What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering where the mythology section was."
"Down this aisle, top-shelf. It's also mixed with some of the mythological fiction books."
"Thank you," I said, hurrying there. I had missed muggle mythology, especially Greco-Roman, Egyptian, Norse, and Indian. I had meant to read some of it before, but I just didn't have enough time, what with all the bustle of the past years.
I combed through the shelves, spotting copies of Homer's Odyssey, Hesiod's Theogony, and Valmiki's Mahabharata. I also recognized some of the muggle mythological fiction on the shelves.
But twelve books caught my eye. They seemed to be written in Greek, which was weird since even the books from Greece were translated into English.
I took them out and flipped through them. Yup, completely written in Greek.
I tried a translating spell. It worked. The title said,
'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief'.
Percy Jackson? As in the guy from the Olympia Family? There are books written about him? Why are they in Greek?
10 mins later I had checked out all 12 of them and I sprinted up to my dormitory. I would have sat in the Common Room, but it's easier to read books when you are isolated.
I opened the first page and read the chapter title: 'I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher.'
What a weird title.
I read the first sentence.
'Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood.'
How strange…
LEO'S P.O.V
"Does anyone want to play chess?" Annabeth asked.
"Sorry, I'm a bit busy. Nico asked me to help him choose topics to teach." Jason replied, distracted.
"And I'm not a strong chess player, sorry Annabeth," I said.
"You could ask Nico," Jason suggested. "He's a strong player."
I choked. "Death boy knows how to play chess?!"
Jason nodded. "He played a lot with his mother."
Annabeth nodded and headed to the Slytherin Common Room.
"I think I'll head out too," I said, starting towards the exit. Jason put a thumb up.
I exited the Ravenclaw Common Room and found Will giving Nico some sort of lecture, while Annabeth watched the two with an amused expression.
I wrestled my way out of that and roamed around for a while before bumping into someone else.
It was a professor. She looked a bit crazy, but oh well. I guess everyone can't look as good as this Super-Sized McShizzle.
What was her name? I think it was Trewney. No, it was Trelaney. Wait, I think I got it. Trelawney!
"Are you from the Olympia Family?" she asked.
"Yup," was my eloquent reply.
"Professor McGonagall is calling you and your brethren."
"I see. Well then, I take your leave-" I was rudely cut off by her grabbing my shoulder.
"You shall die in an explosion."
"Been there, done that," I muttered under my breath, moving past her to McGonagall's office.
I reached there in 10 minutes. The door was closed, so I did the diplomatic thing and knocked instead of barging in like a lunatic.
"Come in," the professor's voice rang out.
I went in and asked, "Professor? Did you ask me to come here?"
She looked up, and said, "Ah yes, Mr. Valdez. Have a seat until everyone else comes."
Everybody came in the next few minutes and Professor McGonagall got down to business.
"I am the Deputy Headmistress, so I have a hand in organizing special events. And the Olympia Family visiting Hogwarts is a very big occasion indeed. This is why Hogwarts is going to be hosting a ball."
Gasps of astonishment, and in Piper's case, excitement rang across the room. I was shocked too.
"And since some of you have partners who are not present here, a couple of students shall be coming from your school."
A round of cheers went around. Calypso was coming? Yay!
"This ball shall be held on Samhain, also known as Halloween, and since it is a ball, we decided to ask the resident party planning expert from your family for help in organizing the ball, Lady Avila." On cue, someone knocked on the door.
"Hello!" A familiar voice said.
And in came Aphrodite.
PERCY P.O.V
Aphrodite looked exactly like Annabeth, but with makeup on.
"Mom?!" Piper cried in astonishment.
"Piper, dear, how nice to see you and your friends. Oh, Percy, can you please come out? I need to talk to you."
I went out feeling nervous. If she wrecked my plan, I would RAGE.
"What?" I asked aggressively.
"I just wanted to say that I know what you want to do, and I will give you my blessing."
Oh. "Thank you, Lady Aphrodite."
"So, when's the wedding?'
I blushed. "I don't know, we have to get Athena and Hera on board. I think I can convince Athena, but Hera is something else."
"Oh, leave Hera to me."
"What's the catch?"
Aphrodite looked thoughtful, before saying, "Look out for my daughter."
I nodded. "Sure."
"Then we have a deal."
We shook hands on it before I went back.
"What did Aphrodite want?" Annabeth whispered while McGonagall was explaining everything.
"Nothing much." I could see I hadn't convinced her, but she let it go.
After all that, I cornered Leo.
"Can you make two rings for me?"
His eyes widened.
"For what?"
I grinned.
"A proposal."
A/N: I had meant to upload this yesterday, but it was too late in the night. Shoutout to MorganaMaleficent, who suggested the Leo-Trelawney thing. Hope you enjoyed this. I may not upload for a while now. R&R and I'll see you next time!
