Hey everybody! Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, I got a bit behind in school work so I needed to catch up. Thank you for all the new reviews! I was worried that no one liked my story anymore! I realized just how many tiny grammar errors I make, and I don't want to continue giving error filled chapters, so is anyone willing to beta for me? I don't know how you're supposed to do this, since I'm new, but if anyone (please someone) experienced could help me figure it out and beta for me, I would love it. Onto the story now!
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HP or any of the characters except for OCs (which I don't have any... yet)
Harry POV
Once we got back to Grimmauld Place, I realized that while Percy and Annabeth had gone in the vault, we had gotten our books, but they hadn't. At least, I didn't see them get any. As soon as dinner was finished, Hermione, Ron and I went upstairs quickly, and we made sure that no one else was coming up. Since Mrs. Weasley had put Percy in our room and Annabeth in Hermione's, we couldn't talk privately at all, either of them could hear us. Luckily they both had to go something else, so we were left alone for a short while.
"Okay, so at least we know that he wasn't taking out a wand back in New York," Hermione says, stating the obvious.
"Yeah, but then what was he taking out?" I wondered aloud.
"We don't know yet, but he doesn't act that weird. He has the same eating habits as Ron here, and Annabeth's quite nice. She likes reading, just like me, and she does her research well. She's already asked me for a few basic wizarding world books," Hermione says.
"For all we know, she could just be trying to learn more about the place she's trying to kill, or it's all an act, to make them think that we don't know anything about magic," Ron said.
"Oh, shut up! Why do you think that anybody who ever like reading books is automatically a monster?" Hermione exclaims, "I mean, I'm your friend! I started out with those books because I knew nothing about the wizarding world. She actually took time to read it, too."
"Guys, lets say that they really are new to this world. Who says that Voldemort hasn't tried to corrupt them yet? Maybe he didn't tell them about the wizarding world, but started planting evil things into his mind. I mean, it's possible," I said, breaking up their argument before they started to ignore each other.
"That could be true, but we don't know for sure yet. Let's make a list of all the things we need to know, and we'll find a way to get the information out of them. Simple," Hermione suggests. Ron and I think for a minute, and then nod our heads.
"Yeah, let's do that. I'll get some parchment," Ron says and gets up. He comes back with a wrinkled, but clear parchment.
Hermione started writing:
Things that we need to find out:
1. What was in Percy's pocket when he came to visit him.
2. Have Percy and Annabeth met Voldemort yet, and if so, what have they found out so far.
"There, is that good? Nothing else so far, right?" Hermione says.
"Nope we're all good, we'll tell you if we need to write something else down, I mean, we will be the ones sleeping in the same room as him," I said.
"Alright then, now let's go before Percy and Annabeth come back. If Annabeth notices that I'm not back soon, she'll get suspicious. We can't have Percy knowing I was in here either," Hermione says, then adds, "Be careful, and hide the scroll somewhere that Percy won't be able to find it. Bye!"
With that, she left the room.
Percy's POV
Annabeth and I had to go and IM everybody. We went up into the girls' room, considering Hermione was with the boys, and Ginny was helping her mom with the dishes. I know it's only our first day here, but we want everybody to know what's going on. Maybe, if this world is safe, then we can get some more demigods here. I mean, I'm sure that children of Hecate would love a world of magic where monsters couldn't hunt them down.
I got the water to start misting up, and Annabeth threw in the drachma.
"Hey guys! How are you?" Annabeth said, probably to let them know that we were on the Iris Message.
"They're here! They're IMing us, everybody come to the pavilion!" Piper shouted, then changed tones completely as she asked us, "So... how have things been?"
"Oh not too bad, though the boys that I'm rooming with seem to hate me. Apparently, I'm the grandson of this weird creepy person who enjoys killing people, and he killed the parents of one of the guys I'm rooming with. It's hard you know! I have to actually keep everything clean! I never had to do that when I was alone," I ended up complaining. It really was a nuisance, I bet they wondered why I had a hard time with it, but I'm trying here.
"He's complaining about things that don't need to be complained about. This place is awesome! Not a single monster has come after us, and we don't have any major protections either! The origins and the place we're going sounds great, too! We might be able to get some people here!" Annabeth said excitedly.
"So, where are you going?" Leo asked. At this, I burst out laughing, and I seriously almost made us lose connection.
Annabeth wacked my arm. I rubbed it as she said, "Okay, the names a bit funny, but everything seems to have a weird name here. It's called Hogwarts," and then quickly added before everybody started laughing, "It's not that bad! It's actually super fascinating, they have magical staircases, and secret rooms, it's all AMAZING! I found it all in a book, turns out one of the girls I'm living in really likes reading. She's like a magical me!"
Leave it to Annabeth to find books on something we didn't even know about for more than a day or so now... Anyways, we continued talking and laughing, before they went off for some more camp activities.
Just in time, we left the room, because we heard Hermione saying bye to the boys. We walked down and I gave Annabeth a small good night kiss before going off to bed. Luckily, today, instead of glaring at me like the usually did, they were a bit more kind. They were putting away some spare parchment... parchment? Why parchment? Why not paper like the rest of the world?! You know what, not even going to ask, it's fine, just gonna calm down and go to bed.
We just acknowledged each other, got ready, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I went unconscious. Today had been a long day. Good nighhh...
Sooo. Sorry again for the long wait, this may happen once in a while, but I'm trying to stay on track. I wanted to ask you guys to check out my other story. It hasn't gotten many views, and it's a story idea originated from another writer. I just wanna make sure that you guys read the A/Ns, cause this one person accused me of stealing. It hasn't been updated yet, but I'm getting there. Review please!
See ya next time!
