CONNOR'S POV

Not a lot of people came from CHB. I suppose it was because everyone wanted to settle down after the war.

Anyway, the people who DID come came on pegasi. That's literally how many people came.

Chris and Cecil came, as well as Miranda from cabin 4, Sherman from cabin 5, Malcolm from cabin 6, Kayla from cabin 7, Lacy and Valentina from cabin 10, Harley and Shane from cabin 9, Butch from cabin 14, and Pollux from cabin 12. Oh, Thalia, Calypso, and Rachel came too.

Pollux waved hi as he got down his pegasus. I smiled and waved back, trying to ignore the weird butterflies in my stomach.

He sprinted forward and hugged me. He smelled like wine. I reluctantly hugged him back.

"I missed you," he said into my shoulder.

I didn't know how to reply so I said, "Same." And I wasn't lying. But I still pickpocketed his wallet, because I'm a kleptomaniac.

We broke the hug. Pollux looked straight into my eyes and said, "Wallet,"

"Aw, dang it!" I said, returning it.

I looked around. Everyone was catching up with their siblings and friends. I smiled when Clarisse and Chris hugged. My brother deserves to be happy.

Speaking about brothers, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned and found Travis.

"Anything you're hiding from me?" he asked.

"No, why?"

"Then why did Pollux run and hug you?"

"Gee Travis, there's nothing going on! We're just friends!"

He looked like he didn't believe me.

Anywho, dinner happened. Everybody had split up. Pollux and Travis were sitting on either side of me. We just talked and ate dinner like we did in CHB.

Except a chimera decided to ruin the evening, because it was getting bored.

Long story short, we killed it, and the Hogwarts students were all like, "How did you do that?!" "You guys are heroes!" and other random bullshit.

HERMIONE'S P.O.V

A week after the Samhain ball was announced, more people from the Olympia family came to Hogwarts.

They came on pegasi, which was kinda weird, because pegasi were very rarely domesticated. They were wild beasts.

After the meet-and-greet, dinner commenced.

I was sitting in between Ron and Harry. Percy was sitting next to Harry, and Reyna was sitting next to Ron. Beside Reyna was a girl called Thalia. I had a suspicion the two were dating.

We were all talking when something burst into the Great Hall. I recognized it from the books about Percy. It was a Greek chimera.

I had taken the stories in the books with a grain of salt, but if it was real, then that meant…Percy was a demigod.

Of course, I couldn't act on that information at the time, because the chimera was going CRAZY and blowing fire everywhere. Everyone was screaming except for the Royals, who pulled out weapons from who knows where, and fought it.

Even they were cautious, except for Leo, who ran into the flames and tried to chop its head off.

"Leo! Be careful! It's poisonous! Don't let it bite you!" a girl whose name I think was Calypso shouted after him.

Leo continued trying to maim it until he managed to make a shallow cut at its side. Everyone else leaped up after him to try and maim it.

After loads of slashes and stabs, the chimera turned to dust.

The Great Hall was in silence as everyone processed what happened. Then, rabid fangirls went to the Royals and kept exclaiming how amazing they were.

Dumbledore cleared his throat and everyone went silent.

"It has been an eventful evening, and I think everyone must retire to bed. Prefects, lead your houses back to the dormitories. All the Royals can sleep in one of many rooms in this castle. Good night."

After going back to the dormitories, I couldn't fall asleep. I decided to read the books. If all the stories in this were true, then I had to know it all.

LEO'S P.O.V

After the chimera incident, we went to this room called the Room of Requirement. It seemed to know what we needed, because it had a bunch of beds, each one assigned to a different person.

I was still awake after everyone slept, because I had something to do. Percy was also awake, so we silently tiptoed across the room and willed it to have a silent forge. Guess what? There was now a silent forge.

Anyway, Percy and I silently discussed how he wanted the ring. I drew a sketch.

Then someone said, "What are you two doing?"

We jumped, startled. I dropped my sketch. It was Piper.

"Sorry. Are you guys making a ring?" she whispered as she picked up the sketch I dropped. "Is this for Annabeth?"

Percy nodded.

She gasped. "Are you going to propose?"

Percy nodded while blushing a little.

She squealed. "I can't believe it; you guys are getting married!"

"Shush!" both of us said.

"Ok, ok. You HAVE to let me help."

"As long as you don't say anything." Percy said.

"Deal."

"Deal."

They shook hands on it.

"Now, what were you thinking for the band?" I asked Percy.

"Celestial Bronze," he said.

"Are you sure? Celestial Bronze is a bit hard to forge." I informed.

"Didn't you make a whole ship with a bunch of Celestial Bronze things?" Piper asked.

"I wasn't on my own when I was making it. But I see your point. And what about the stone?"

"I was thinking golden south sea pearl,"

"Alright then. I assume you'll get me the pearl?"

Percy nodded.

"And any features you want?"

"A concealed knife, perhaps." he said.

"So, something like Nico's sword?" Piper asked.

Percy nodded yet again.

"Hmm, so I think I will be able to make it, though I may need Calypso's help. Are you alright with me telling her?"

"Yes,"

"Ok. Now we should get to bed before someone notices."

"On it," the two said before jumping on their beds.

I put my face in my hands. "I meant quietly."

They stuck their tongues out at me before finger-gunning each other.

I sighed and went to bed.

A/N: I WARNED YOU GUYS. ANYWAY, HAPPY NEW YEAR! THANKS TO Lunathemoonwatcherdawnlover FOR REMINDING ME THIS EXISTS. R&R AND I'LL SEE YOU NEXT TIME! *clicks tounge and finger guns*
