Nico, Percy, and Annabeth dropped out of the shadow of the big house. Nico instantly passed out and the other two held him up, dragging them with him to the infirmary. They attracted interest from the other campers, most of whom were in full battle armor, and a few of them came to take Nico from them. They handed him off and ran the rest of the way, only stopping when they saw Hazel.

She was in a wheelchair outside cabin thirteen, being helped into her armor by Frank, who looked like he really didn't want to be helping her.

"Hazel!" They called in unison, rushing to her side.

"Hey guys, go get into your armor!" She called back. There was a moment of confusion, when the demigods weren't sure weather to run up and hug their friend or follow her orders. They looked at eachother, then ran into their respective cabins, where they armed themselves and pulled on some armor over their pajamas. Percy put on his newly fixed watch, which Tyson had fixed for a fifth time after a particularly brutal round of capture the flag with the Poseidon, Hermes, and Zeus cabin versus everyone else, everyone else won, specifically the Athena cabin, meaning Annabeth.

He rushed back outside a second after Annabeth and they both went to Hazel. "What happened, are you okay?" Annabeth asked, clearly wanting to ask more than that.

"I'm fine, the wheelchair is temporary and I can still ride a horse, I just have a broken ankle on one foot and my other foot was beyond saving." Both of them looked at her feet, noticing for the first time the glint of bronze where her left foot should have been, "I have to stay in the wheelchair so I can get used to my new foot with at least one reliable foot to catch myself." Percy and Annabeth nodded in unison.

"So what's going on that we had to be dragged out of our quest for, not that I'm complaining, but still." Percy asked Hazel, watching the other campers prepare the camp for battle, setting up makeshift infirmaries and weapon stands, setting out snack tables with nectar and ambrosia among other snacks.

"There's an army of monsters headed this way, we don't know who's leading them yet but apparently whoever it is wants the wizards to know about us, they plan to attack Hogwarts as well, Leo is headed there on festus with a couple of campers and the Argo 3, there are about thirty of them, including Piper and Jason. The hunters are here by the way, Thalia is one of them to be sent to Hogwarts. Us four will be going as well, as soon as Mrs. O'leary is ready, I'll be taking Arion." They nodded and Annabeth recapped, "So we just came here to get out armor and gear up and we will go to Hogwarts as soon as we can to protect it from a monster attack that will probably scare the wizards to the point where they will be more of a problem than the monster." Hazel nodded, "On the bright side the battle itself shouldn't be too bad, considering many of the monster we fought in the last war are still regenerating." Annabeth shrugged, "Well that's something."

A few minutes later they were ready to go, Frank got on Arion after helping Hazel up and Percy and Annabeth were on the hellhound, ready to go. They all left the camp in their own way.

~oOo~

Percy and Annabeth melted out of the shadow of a large tree in the forbidden forest. They dismounted and thanked the dog, then sped off, hoping they were soon enough to beat Leo, who would probably cause quite a scene when he flew in on his giant bronze dragon followed by a giant flying warship.

They rushed inside and went to the Slytherin dorms. "Get up!" Percy yelled, waking up the boys as quick as he could, "No time to explain, get your wands, I recommend you stay out of it when they get here but it's best to be armed." Then he rushed and met Annabeth, who had done the same for the girls, "Do you think they'll survive?" Percy asked.

Annabeth looked at him sadly, "Not likely."

~oOo~

After waking up the whole castle they went outside to meet Hazel and frank, who had made it not long after them but waited outside since Hazel could only get around on Arion. "Is everyone awake?" Hazel asked as soon as she saw them.

"Yep, I think so, and Leo?" Percy said, watching the sky

"He'll be here any minute now. Better be ready." they all just stood there, watching the horizon until they saw the glint of bronze approaching the castle.

A crowd had gathered around them asking questions, they mostly ignored them but finally Annabeth stood up on the edge of the bridge where they waited and spoke up, "I know you are all curious why we woke you up at this hour," the crowd hushed, "Tonight someone from our camp came to tell us that your school is going to ba attacked tonight," whispers and a few shouts asking how they could know that, "Our camp has sent reinforcements, they will be arriving here soon. If any of you cast a spell of any kind at them I will personally rip you limb from limb. You all know what happened to Hazel, we don't want anything like that to happen to any of our other friends. None of them will use wands. We don't use wands often at our school and most of us are better without them."

Draco shouted out from the crowd, "How did your camp know about the attack? Because if I was woken for no reason-" Annabeth cut him off, "Yours isn't the only school being attacked!" she took a breath and continued, "Our camp is under attack as we speak, campers are dieing as we speak and you think that I would lie to you?!" She was outraged, "You all are worse than Octavian was! We come here to protect you, to keep the monsters away, but you repay us with suspicion." She threw up her hands and was about to continue her rant when Frank interrupted in a quiet voice so the wizards wouldn't hear, "Annabeth, you aren't thinking clearly. Think, do you really think this helps? They can't help their ignorance any more than you could before you found out. Use that strategic mind of yours and organize them as you would if they were campers. We don't have much time." The demigods all glanced the the horizon, the glint was clearly getting closer.

Annabeth took a series of deep breaths and addressed the crowd again, "I know you want answers but we don't have time to give them so I'll give you orders instead. Most of you have been through a war before so listen carefully. Younger students with little or no combat type magic training go inside and find someplace safe," a bunch of the students went inside, none daring to test her, "The rest of you, back up."

The wizards did as they were told, quizzical looks on their faces. They got their answer soon enough though, when the warship and Festus came close enough to see what they were. There were gasps and many wands were drawn but the demigods held up their hands to signal the wizards to put them away. Festus landed in the newly cleared space and Leo slid off, followed by Jason and Piper.

"Am I late," Leo said with a grin as he hugged Percy, "I haven't seen you forever waterboy, do you have any idea how boring capture the flag is without the Poseidon cabin? REally boring!" Percy laughed and they separated, "Good to see you to supreme commander of the Argo's two and three." Piper piped up (pun totally intended), "I still prefer repair boy." They all laughed and the Argo 3 came up beside the bridge, the demigods all on deck in full armor with weapons strapped to their belts and bows in some of their hands.

"Will!" Percy exclaimed when he saw the boy, having not been expecting him to be there.

"Nico will be here as soon as he wakes up," Will said, swinging over the rail onto the bridge, "Where do you want us? We go half the Apollo cabin, I have no idea how many Hermes campers, the Hephaestus cabin, some Nematics and Nike campers and, like, three fourths of the Hecate cabin." Percy let out a low whistle, "Apparently we got some hunters to, wherever they are." right on cue a silver arrow whizzed by his head, getting gasps and drawn weapons from both the demigods and wizards, "There they are." Percy said and turned to Thalia.

"You're late cuz." He said, putting his hands in his pockets, "Sorry, had to fight off a splinter group from the army, we've got our hands full with this one kelp head." She said while her hunters examined them. One of them whispered something to her and she nodded, "We'll take the south side, send some campers, maybe six or so, keep the witches and wizards out of the way." and with that she disappeared, Percy smirked and turned to Frank, "Wait, What about the Romans?" He asked.

"They'll send some people to Camp Half-Blood, but they would never make it in time to get here." Percy nodded and turned to the Wizards, "You folks better stay away from the south end of the building, if Thals don't want you there you had better stay away. Gods help you if you also happen to be a boy when you wander over there." He warned and turned to the demigods, "The usual for you kids, archers, that includes you Frank, keep a good distance and kill off as many of them as you can before engaging in single combat, okay," nods from the archers, including Frank, "good, now get in position so Leo can pilot that ship someplace it would be more useful," as soon as he saw the grin on Leo's face he amended, "Like up in the sky where he will not use the ballista to destroy the school grounds unless he absolutely has to."

Leo pouted and jumped over the rail onto the ship. The demigods cleared off and he piloted it upwards until he had an eagle eye view of the castle and the surrounding lands. He searched those lands and paled. Festus flew up and picked him up, flying him back down.

"The army is getting close, it looks like they attracted attention from the mortals though, there are news helicopters and vans following them." He said this quietly so only the seven could hear him, "I don't know about you but I'm not sure the mist will obscure something as big as a full on battle." They all looked worriedly in the direction Loe had said the bulk of them were coming from, "The wizards will have questions after this," Leo said, "They will want answers." Annabeth shrugged, "We don't have to give them." Leo grinned, "Let's kill us some monsters!" He yelled and started shouting orders at his siblings, who followed his instructions, "And I want some Hermes kids in the Argo threes!" He yelled after giving his orders.

Travis and Connor grabbed one of the unclaimed kids, a girl around ten, and jumped on Festus, who carried the three of them up to the warship. In no time they had set up a perimeter around the school with the bulk of their defences where the fighting was sure to be the heaviest.

Draco marched up to Percy and said, "Who are you to be giving orders?! You are just and exchange student, you don't go here! This is our school! We have defended it before, for all we know you've never seen a real battle in you life! We don't know you. You claim to have gone through something super tramatic, but you won't even tell us what it is! How are we to know you aren't the ones attacking? How are we to know you even know anything about war!" Percy looked him dead in the eye, "You want to know what I've been through? Fine. Go fetch something to let you see my memories, perhaps then you will find a little decency in yourself to keep your opinions to yourself." THe seven gasped, "No, Percy, Chiron said-" "Does it look like I care! This was supposed to be a simple scouting mission! Go to the school, check on the effects of the war, go home and start college in new rome. That was supposed to be how it went. Now we have another war on our hands! Another prophecy and everything! I refuse to help the gods beyond this, one battle," He looked away from Annabeth and at the sky, "You hear me! I'm done!" then he stormed off with Draco looking after him for just a second, then rushing into the school to retrieve whatever it was he had in mind to get a peek at Percy's memories.

Draco ran into Hermione on his way to Mcgonagall's office. She grabbed him by the arm, "Where are you headed off to? Everyone is getting ready for the battle." He just pushed her off him and continued his running. She chased after him and stood behind him when he pounded on the headmaster's door.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" Hermione asked just before the door swung open.

"Headmaster, the school is about to be attacked and I need the pensieve." She looked bewildered for a moment then said, "Okay, okay, Hermione please explain, Draco Why do you need the pensieve?"

"I need it because the exchange students left, then came back with a warship and a dragon and a whole bunch of heavily armed teenagers. But they aren't the ones attacking, they came to warn us and," his tone became a little sarcastic, "protect us. I need the pensieve to see in there are telling the truth, Percy offered and I don't think he'll do that again." the headmaster nodded and let him take the bowl while Hermione explained further.

He was on his way back when Hermione caught up with him, "I'm going to see too." She said, "No, I don't think he'll like that, I mean, you did blatantly spy on him." She huffed, "Well you're not exactly on his good side either. If he says no I'll go but I want to see what he has to show." Draco shrugged, "You can give it a shot, might as well bring the rest of your group, if you're dead set on making him refuse." she glared at him and ran off to find her friends.

The wizards met the seven in the room of requirement, which Hazel just kinda walked into, now on a crutch walking on her false foot. (Arion had left before the fight to take care of something that he wouldn't tell Percy). The room had a circle of couches around a table, where the demigods were standing.

"I thought it would only be Draco." Annabeth said when she saw them.

"I thought so too." Percy said, clearly still angry.

"Let's get this over with, just remember what we talked about." Jason said, sitting on the couch.

The others followed suit and pulled out their wands, "So how does it work?" Piper asked, holding the wand like it was a gun she wasn't sure was loaded or not.

"You just think about the memory you want to put in, bring it to the front of your mind, then use your wand to pull it out," Harry said, examining the seven.

"Okay," Leo said and put his wand to his head, pulling out a memory and putting it in the bowl. The wizards all entered it and watched what Leo had decided to show them to prove that they had battle experience.

~oOo~

Harry entered the memory and it slowly came into focus. They were in a warehouse of some sort, there were three three big ugly cyclopes were sitting around a fire and two forms they recognized as Piper and Jason. All of them watched as Leo reprogrammed the robotic arms and outsmarted the cyclopes and freed his friends.

The wizards were puzzled when several parts went blurry and inaudible, as if Leo was trying to hide some part of the memory. Harry stored this away, at first assuming that it was some kind of glitch or something.

They got out of the memory and Jason went next, showing them a memory of some kind of battle game, clearly before he met the others. Annabeth kept whispering in his ear, telling him what he should have done instead. Percy snickered when he apparently won the game, finding something funny that Harry couldn't figure out.

Next was Piper, who tried to resist at first, then relented, telling the wizards exactly how rude it was to force her to show them anything. She pulled out a memory and they watched it. Her was the worst yet. At least half of what was said was fuzzed out and you couldn't tell what was happening for half the time. But, as far as Harry could tell, it was her memory of getting trapped in a well with Jason and Percy, where they used some kind of spell to clear out some nasty, oily looking water that threatened to drown them.

"What was that about?" Ron asked, "I mean, I know you almost drowned, but what about all those fuzzy bits?" Piper smiled, "You don't want to know about those." She said and they believed her, "Right, I don't want to know." Ron said and Jason smiled at Piper, "You got better at that beauty queen." She punched him playfully, "I had to didn't I." they were talking in latin, but Harry had been told by hermione about their tendency to speak in other languages, so the golden trio and Ginny had all put spells on their ears so they could understand. No one told Draco though, so he was just staring at them blankly.

Frank showed them another of those war games, then it was Hazel's turn. Hermione spoke up, "Show us why the truth potion did that to you." She requested, earning glares from everyone of the seven, each of which seemed to be imagining very creative ways to kill her.

"I-I-" Hazel stuttered, looking to the others for help, Frank saved her, "She will not. I won't let her relive that, I've seen it and none of you need to know." His tone removing all hope for argument. Hazel gave him a grateful look and tucked herself further into him.

That left Percy and Annabeth. They shared a look with such an array of emotions that none of the wizards could find reason in it. "I'll do it Annabeth." Percy said at last.

"Percy, they might not be able to handle it." Annabeth had switched to greek.

"They wanted to see it, if they can't handle it then they have no right to ask for it. We warned them that it was bad, they heard you scream, they know it will be bad." Annabeth gave him a saddened look, "Okay seaweed brain, if they want to see the worst of it, I'll make sure they see the worst of it, I'll make sure they never doubt how dangerous we are." There was a scary glint in her eye that made the wizards cringe, all of them positive that it was for them.

She pulled out a few memories and dropped them in the bowl, gesturing to it with a sweep of her hand, "Enjoy." She said, the look on her face making them all positive that none of them would enjoy this.

They entered the memory and were suddenly in a dark place. They saw Percy holding Annabeth as they dangled off the ledge, Nico above them completely helpless. They said something, but it was fuzzed out. Then Percy and Annabeth dropped into the darkness.

They watched the fall, then felt the misery and hopelessness of the river Cocytus, the burning taste of the Phlegethon. Then there was a skip and then the two of them looked like they had been through a battle and walking along, breathing the acidic air as they trekked through the hellish place. They watched some of the battle with the Air, then it skipped again.

They saw Percy and Misery. The look in his eye as he learned he could control the poison, the way he seemed to become part of it as he choked the woman in front of him. In the background Annabeth looked horrified, she called his name over and over, finally managing to get his attention. He broke out of his trance, looking disgusted and horrified at the look of terror in his girlfriend's face. The memory skipped.

They were in a sort of large cave, Percy and Annabeth looked like zombies as they trailed a giant man in a janitor's uniform with a kitten on his shoulder through a gathering of all kinds of monsters. Harry's eyes landed on the chained down elevator doors. That was strange, even by magic standards. And the fact that they looked like the elevator doors from the empire state building made it just that much worse. He had only seem pictures of those doors before but he was sure they were the same ones.

The wizards watched all the way through to the appearance of Tartarus himself, but they couldn't see most of what followed, only able to see everything once they got to the doors, where they watched Bob sacrifice himself to get them out alive. They witnessed the heartbreaking promise to tell the stars hello for the giant man as he held down the button for them. The memory ended with the two of them tumbling out of the elevator, catching a glimpse of Hazel fighting a giant man shrouded in shadow.

Draco wasn't in the least satisfied. "Who was that Hazel was fighting at the end, why wouldn't you let us see so much? What could you possibly have to hide?" Draco challenged, poking his finger in Percy's chest.

"How about you show us your whole life story!" Percy shot back and he and his friends left to join the battle, which was nearly arrived. Harrys eye caught on Hermione, who had a look of concentration on her face, like she was figuring out a particularly difficult puzzle.

"What'r ya thinking 'mione?" Ron asked, seeing the look on her face.

"I think I've figured them out." She stated and left, off to the library just before a battle.

Hey, hope you like that. I decided to let Hazel live because, well, she is one of my favorites to write. Anyway. Let me know what you think, and I know that there are errors with spelling and spell check, I just DO NOT have time to go back and correct those errors. Keep in mind, this is a sort of warm up/cool down/brain break for me. I am writing a book on top of this. And because I go to a project based school, it's homework. So I have deadlines to meet and other things to do. I apologize for the mistakes though, I will try to catch them as they come up but I cannot go back and search for them. I'm sorry.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for me regarding where the story goes, I brought out dark Percy for a bit, let me know if you ant to see him more or if he should go back into hiding. Also, when do you think Hermione should become certain, I think I made it clear that she is fairly sure, but needs confirmation. Should I let her have it by having her figure it out, overhear a conversation or something, or if the demigods should tell the whole school before she can figure it out. I'm not even sure if I'll have the school be let in, or just the golden trio and Ginny. Let me know your opinions, also SOLANGELO WILL SHOW UP. Okay, sorry about that, but they will and it will be adorable.
