Hermione's POV
I don't understand why they went up the stairs. There were like ten floors up! We went up a few flights of stairs before Ron asked, "Why can't we just use the elevator?"
"We don't know what floor they're on, dimwit." I replied, tired and quickly getting annoyed of him.
"Merlin, no reason to get so mad about it." Ron said back, now angry at me. We kept on walking up, until we heard screaming. As we kept going up, we saw an eagle fly down. We were all surprised at this, and moved out of the way quickly, so it wouldn't bump into us. "PERSEUS JACKSON! YOU WERE GONE ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR! AND WITH WHAT? A MEASLEY VOICE MESSAGE! NO IMs WHEN YOU GOT ON THE SHIP, OR A VISIT BEFORE YOU LEFT FOR GREECE, NOTHING! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME OF FEAR?" a lady screamed, sounding very upset.
Well, at least we have a name, now. What was the part about Greece, though, and what were IMs? I had a thousand questions buzzing on in my head, but for now, I just kept walking up the stairs. As we got higher, we saw that same eagle that came down earlier walk back up. Then we heard a lot of laughing. "What's so funny, my mom was only scolding me!" a boy asked, sounding very annoyed and confused.
We finally got to where they had stopped, and waited for them to all go inside. We were about to knock on the door when Dumbledore stopped us, "I brought some of Fred and George's Extendable Ears. It sounds like they've been separated for a while, so lets give them some time, and listen into them. That way we'll have an idea of if he's evil or not."
"Wouldn't eavesdropping be bad, though? What if their talking about something private, that they really don't want anyone outside family to know?" I said, because even if I have eavesdropped once in a while, we don't even know if the kid is evil yet.
"Does it really matter, he has to be evil anyways. Plus, all those kids can't be siblings, they don't even look alike." Harry said. I guess they weren't going to listen to me.
"Fine then, I won't be listening, you can go on." I said, because they could be talking about something private, and I'm not going to be the one to take that away. They all took some extendable ears and and put them on the door. About 30 minutes later, Dumbledore decided that they had enough time, and he knocked on the door.
The boy that looked a lot like Harry opened the door. "Who are you?" Perseus asked.
"I am Albus Dumbledore, I am here to talk to you," Dumbledore said. Perseus, as his mother called him, put his hand straight to his pocket. Could it be where his wand is? "These children are Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter" Dumbledore continued, as he pointed to Ron, me, then Harry, who glared at Perseus the entire time. Harry looked at Perseus expectantly, since he was the most famous person in the wizarding world, but it didn't look like Perseus knew Harry. When Perseus didn't say anything, Dumbledore asked, "May we come in?"
Perseus said, "Sure" and moved out of the doorway to let us in. When we walked in, there were 10 kids, all teenagers, sitting in different places, some on the couch, some on the floor of the living room, and the rest in the kitchen, talking.
"Hey guys! We have some guests, they wanted to talk to us. Can everyone come in the living room please?" he announced. He made me a little worried, as he said the word talk with an emphasis, as if it had a different meaning.
"Who is it? Do you know the people?" a boy asked, he was the one with curly hair, as he walked in.
"We actually need to talk to you privately," Dumbledore said, and I would understand, we're not trying to reveal magic to the world, just to a wizard.
"Why? The boy asked, looking suspicious.
"Well... we are here to tell you some information that you do not know about yourself, some information that not everyone can know." Dumbledore replied. I was starting to get impatient. Why was this boy asking so many questions, why couldn't he just listen to Dumbledore for one minute and then come back to Grimmauld Place with us?
"If you want to talk to me about anything at all, you need to talk about it in front of all of them, too. It's all or none," Perseus said, and the rest nodded.
Harry's POV
This is getting really annoying. I want to take out my wand, stupefy him, then take him somewhere private, and tell him, but that wouldn't leave a good first impression of wizards, so I can't. If he just spent one minute and listened to us, I bet he would be coming with us immediately! Why can't he?
"Fine, you may all hear, but you must promise to keep it a secret." Dumbledore relented. Dumbledore got impatient, that's hard, he nearly never, and I mean never gets impatient.
"You're a wizard, Perseus" Dumbledore said. At this, Perseus' eyes opened wide. He put his hand to his pocket. Wait, was he getting his wand out? Did he already know about the wizarding world?
Everybody else got up, and the girl with the blonde hair came up beside him and whispered something that I could barely hear. It sounded like some ancient language, because I couldn't understand one word. He took his hand out of the pocket and asked, "How do you know my name, what do you mean by wizards, and who are you really?"
"We know your name because we heard your mother shouting, when we say wizards, we mean wizards that can perform magic with wands, and brew potions, and conjure up almost anything, and we really are who we said we are; Albus Dumbledore, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter." Dumbledore said, now a bit more calm, as if he realized something.
"Don't call me Perseus, only my enemies call me that. Call me Percy. Sorry for the commotion, a lot of people have tried to kill me, I'm very suspicious because of it. So, if I'm a wizard, what do I have to do?" he said. Wait, why do people want to kill him?
"Why do people want to kill you?" Ron asked, voicing my thoughts.
"I've helped defeat many evil people. Their henchman still come after us though, and they can sense when we're in an especially big group," he replied. So maybe he wasn't evil. I'm still keeping an eye on him.
"You'll have to come with us. See your grandfather is a very evil man, and we will need your help defeating him. Are you willing to help?" Dumbledore asked.
"I'm willing to come on 2 conditions," he said. Ah ha! I knew he was evil, I mean, if you already defeated bad people twice, why can't you help out again, huh? "I want to bring one other person with me, and you need to put a protective barrier around my mom's house for as long as I'm gone." Who did he want to bring?
"Who would you like to bring?" Dumbledore asked. He was actually letting this happen?! The person wouldn't even be magical, how would they do anything.
"Annabeth," everyone but Percy and the girl next to him said. They both blushed.
"You know, it's not that hard to guess, them dating and all," the curly hair boy said, "OOH, we should give them our names before they leave! This'll be great! I'll go first. I am LEO SUPERSIZED MCSHIZZLE VALDEZ! ALL DA LADIES LOVE ME! You can call me Leo."
"I'm Hazel," the girl with the dark skin, hazel eyes, and long curly hair said.
"I'm Frank," the guy next to her said. He was tall, had army cut hair, but looked like he wouldn't hurt a fly.
"I'm Piper," the girl with the choppy hair and kaleidoscope eyes said.
"I'm Jason," the blonde guy with the Roman build and scar on his lips said.
"I'm Connor Stoll, and this is my brother Travis Stoll," one of the twin like brothers said, "We are not twins. Travis is older."
"I'm Annabeth," the girl who whispered in Percy's ear said.
"And you all know me, I'm Perseus Jackson," Percy said, "But you can only call me Percy," he said the last part extremely seriously, but it was obvious he was joking by the smile on his face.
"Well, it's time for us to go. It was very nice to meet you all, but these kids haven't had dinner, and this took longer than we expected." Dumbledore said, and I that point I realized how hungry I was.
Well that's how this chapter ends. I would have updated earlier today, as I have been working on this chapter for a while now (2 days) but wouldn't let me log on, so I couldn't finish the chapter until now. Hope you like it! Also, tell me if I need to fix any mistakes, in grammar, or if you have a way for me to improve the story. Thanks!
