If you haven't read BoO yet skip from the AN in the middle of the chapter to the end as it has major BoO spoilers.

Just a warning off you read the bit with spoiler. Prepare for Major FEELS!

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter, the belong to JK Rowling and Rick Riordan

Annabeth POV:

We had finally managed to persuade Harry that we weren't talking nonsense and persuaded him not to tell any of his other friends. Then all the others got back from Hogsmeade, Ron bought me some sweets with the money he gave to me and the others.

A week later, Hazel and I were alone with Ginny in our common room.

"Hey guys, can you explain your titles?" She asked.

"When Percy and I were twelve, a demigod named Luke stole Zeus' lightning bolt and we had to recover it, the next year Luke poisoned the pine tree protecting our borders so we went to get the Golden Fleece from Polyphemus to heal the tree. Then that winter we were helping get Nico as his sister to safety when I was kidnapped by Atlas. Artemis was on the trail of a monster when Atlas kidnapped her so Percy, Thalia and some others went to save us and while there both Percy and I had to hold up the sky because Atlas had escaped. The year after that, Luke was going to invade us throughout the labyrinth so we had to travel through to stop him. Then on Percy's 16th birthday, Luke who was possessed by Kronos tried to defeat the gods but we killed him." I burst into tears at this point.

"While the Greeks defeated Kronos, the 12th legion -which I wasn't a part of then - destroyed Kronos' palace and toppled his throne. Then a few months ago Gaia was waking up so we traveled to Greece via Rome to prevent her from waking. She did wake up but then Leo lured her into the air and basically blew her up, so she's not awake and we're not dead." Hazel finished the story.

"So, why is Thalia a pine tree? Why is Percy a guineau pig and the cause of Mt St Helens' eruption? Why are you a reborn soul? Why is Nico a corn on the cob and 84 years old? And what did Percy and Jason mean by uniters of the camps?"

"Woah! Slow down, we can't answer that fast!" Hazel said.

"Right, when I was seven I arrived at camp with Thalia and Luke. We were chased by lots of monsters and Thals sacrificed herself to save us. Zeus took pity on her and turned her into a tree just before she died so, for the next 5 years she was a pine tree until the Golden Fleece healed her." I explained. "Percy got turned into a Guinea pig by Circe when we were on the quest for the Golden Fleece. And when we were navigating the labyrinth we were in Mt St Helens and we were going to die so after he told me too run he used his water power to explode the mountain. He was missing for three weeks!"

"You two, went on lots of quests together, didn't you?"

"We've been best friends since we were twelve, I've had a crush on him since he saved me from Atlas when we were 13 and a half, we started dating after the Second Titan war. So when we were younger we've always been on quests together."

"Cute," Hazel said. "Anyway, I'm a reborn soul because I died in 1943. Nico took me out of the underworld and back to modern times, so I was born in 1930. Nico was born in 1928 and spent most of his life in a hotel where seventy years lasted a month. When we were in Rome he annoyed a farmer God and was temporarily turned into corn."

"And uniters of the camps? What does that mean?" Ginny asked.

"Until last year, the Romans didn't know about the Greeks and vice versa. Jason and Percy had their memory wiped and were swapped, so the two camps learnt about each other and worked together in the second Giant war." I explained.

(A/N THIS PART CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR BOO! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ BOO DON'T READ IT! IT WON'T MATTER TO THE STORY TO NOT READ IT SO SKIP IT IF YOU DON'T WANT BOO SPOILERS)

Hazel POV:

"I've got just one more question," Ginny said. "Chiron said there were 8 heroes of Olympus. You've only mentioned 7."

I choked up at the thought of Leo. "Super sized Mc-shizzle. Gods Leo. Why did you have to die." I muttered

"He sacrificed himself, for the cause." Annabeth was crying.

"He's not dead!" Frank said coming into the room. "Nico would have felt it and also he had the Physician's cure."

"Yep, Festus could have given him that. He's probably just lost. He'll be back at some point." Percy tried to convince us.

I wish I could believe what he was saying but I didn't think it was possible. Leo was like another brother to me. I'd been close to his family.

"He was my little brother, I've always been close to his family."

"But you only came back from the underworld last year." Ginny said.

"It's complex. But basically I dated his great-grandfather."

Leo had always been so similar to Sammy. I'd become so close to him. But I feel in my heart that it was partly my fault. I agreed to his plan, I gave Piper the fake cure.

And his sacrifice won us the war, but among the Romans he wouldn't be remembered that way. Octavian would. But Leo was the one who defeated Gaia.

I hope you liked the chapter.
