Hey guys. Sorry I don't update this one very much. It takes a while to come up with what's going to happen in the next chapter and stuff, so bare with me.

Hi there hi there

One moment, Percy was asleep. The next, well… he was screaming.

He didn't really know what happened. Argus got them across the ocean (Percy may have called in a favor with his dad…) they were on a train with a bunch of weird British kids, Percy fell asleep, and now he was screaming.

Wait… why was he still screaming? Maybe he should stop.

He watched as Nico, Hazel, and Jason ran into the room. The three British people were with them.

Nico ran immediately to Percy, and he watched as Nico unscrewed a bottle of nectar. Percy gulped it down, his insides burning and his throat dry.

When he finished the bottle, Nico pulled him away and sat him up.

"Deep breaths Percy," he muttered. Percy nodded and took deep breaths.

"What happened?" Asked the kid with the glasses. Percy shook his head, trying to think.

"I don't know. One minute, I'm dreaming about Annabeth, the next… I was…"

Now he remembered it. Annabeth most likely didn't know this (probably because he hid it so well) but Percy still had nightmares about… that place.

"You were back there, weren't you?" Nico asked him. Percy looked at Nico again, noticing the pale skin and sunken eyes. Eyes that had been to Hell and back.

"Y-Yeah," Percy stuttered. Nico hugged him, and a moment later Hazel and Jason joined them.

"Well… this is awkward," said the red-head. Percy chuckled, his chest clearing.

"Yeah, a little," He said. Everyone pulled apart.

"Who's Annabeth?" Asked the curly-haired girl.

"My girlfriend," Percy said, blushing.

"Ah," said the girl, but she didn't seem jealous. In fact, she seemed curious, the way Annabeth got sometimes.

"That reminds me!" Gasped the girl. "We haven't exactly introduced ourselves, have we? Well, my name is Hermione."

"I'm Ron," said the redhead.

"And I'm Harry," said Glasses.

Percy nodded, honestly just thankful no one had asked him where he "had gone." Then, he realized that Nico had asked that in Ancient Greek. Thank the gods for Nico.

He took a deep breath, not remembering what exactly happened in the dream, but wishing he had some water.

Maybe if it was blue…

Focus Percy. Demigod dreams came for a reason, so why did he have this particular dream?

"Can I just... can I just lie down for a bit longer?" he asked. They nodded. "Ok. Just wake me up when the food cart arrives."

It felt like he had just put his head on the pillow, but when he opened his eyes, the sun was up and everyone was munching on snacks and chocolate.

"Hey! I told you to wake me up!" Percy exclaimed, reaching over Ron (literally) for a piece of chocolate shaped strangely like a frog.

"We tried," Nico mumbled through a jellybean.

"You wouldn't wake up," Harry said. He spit out his jellybean.

"I win!" Nico exclaimed.

Maybe someone here was going to go to Tartarus…

No, that was impossible. Maybe it just meant that something terrible was coming, and it had a high chance of death, and Percy might not make it home in time for dinner, and he'd never eat another blue cookie again.

Yeah, that alternative was MUCH better than Tartarus. He could live with that.

Percy smiled wide.

"Is that Bean Boozled or something?" He asked.

Nico shrugged and grabbed another jellybean.

"What's that?" Ron asked.

"It's a game. There are two jellybeans in a pack that both look exactly the same, but are totally different flavors! Like, one could be chocolate pudding-"

"And the other is canned dog food. Trust me, I've gotten it," Jason said with a small shudder.

"My parents have heard of it! They had to stay late at work cleaning all sorts of cavities," said Hermione.

"Your parents are dentists?" Hazel asked. Hermione just nodded.

"Yes," Hermione said.

They sat there, all eating their chocolates in silence.

"So… one more day till school," Nico said.

"Can't wait," Percy said. He didn't want to get kicked out of another school.

Ron pointed at Jason's chocolate frog.

"I would eat the legs first, if I were you," He said. "It keeps them from hopping away."

Jason took his advice and ate off the legs first. Percy sat there, thinking.

Hermione had slipped something into her sleeve-a stick. Maybe a wand? Nah, witches aren't… real…

Come to think of it, if the Greek gods could be real, why not witches and wizards?

And would it be all weird if…

If they were sitting with some?
