I don't own Potter and Jackson.
Harry
I said," Thanks a lot. I owe you big time."
He stammered," No problem. But what, I mean who who are you?"
I wondered if he was a muggle but I wasn't sure so I said," I'm a wizard." If he was confused he was a muggle, if not then he was a wizard.
His bewildered face made me sure that he must be a muggle who knew sword fighting.
I said," Never mind. Well Percy I do owe you but I've gotta do something. I'm sorry."
He said," What?" Evidently he was confused.
I raised my wand very fast and muttered,"Obliviates ena ora." It meant that he would forget everything that happened in the last one hour because Ena Ora meant one hour in Greek, the language from which some of the spells had been derived.
He shuddered and stumbled slightly before looking around with dazed eyes. He said," What the... where am I?
Then he saw me and I said," You were supposed to go that way."
He said," Was I? Did Phobos and Deimos go that way?"
The question threw me off guard. Then I thought that maybe it was his dogs' names or something.
I said," Yeah they went that way."
He ran away and I stared after him. Something felt wrong. It didn't feel right. He seemed like a person I knew very well. I wondered whether I'd ever seen him. I couldn't recall such an incident. It must have been déjà vu.
I turned back suddenly remembering that I'd come here to get Dolohov. I cursed thinking that he'd escaped. My first mission wasn't going well. It was failing. Now Dolohov knew that we were here. I met Ron and Hermione who had gone and searched the other side of the stadium. I hurried towards them and recounted my adventure. I told them about Percy who had helped me. They were surprised when I told them about the guy. It wasn't everyday that you would meet a muggle alone in the midst of shady woods carrying a sword. Now that they said it the thought struck me quite me oddly. I said slowly," Yeah your right. Maybe we should go and check." Hermione said," No leave it. He is obliviated. There is no use in going now."
We apparated back to our hotel and walked in. We went to my room and I walked over to the fire.
I tried to communicate with Kingsley and succeeded. He said," Hey Harry any progress?"
I said dejectedly," No we found him but he got away."
Kingsley said consolingly," its okay. Many of our best aurors weren't able to do it. Better luck next time."
Then he went with a pop. He seemed a little upset that didn't do it the way he went abruptly.
I slumped on the couch to see that Ron had already slept off. Hermione was nowhere to be seen.
Soon my eyes closed and I went into a deep sleep.
Percy
Drat! Where were the two sons of Ares? Damn them. It must be nearing midnight by now. I checked my watch. It showed 12:50. What the hell. Just a few minutes back it was 11:45. I had checked it just before I met that bloke who told them that Phobos and Deimos had gone this way. Wait wait wait… How did he know about them? He seemed mortal. Was he clear sighted? I remember being slightly dizzy but something was fishy. Maybe I should turn back. I decided to turn back and I walked back to the clearing. The guy was not there. I searched for him but couldn't find him. As I walked feeling puzzled and trying to sort everything I heard a roar of noises. It was a huge crowd. It was to my left. I listened and I could hear it though it was a little way off. I jogged towards it and came to a very dense part of the woods. Then suddenly I saw lights in the sky. It was truly a sky full of lighters.
I was amazed. As I jogged I came to a huge stadium. I was stunned to say the least. I never knew of any stadium in the middle of these woods. I had come here quite often. Feeling curious I walked towards the entrance. Two men in robes stood over there. They looked at me and one man frowned slightly. He asked," Who are you? What are you doing here at this time in the night? I didn't respond to his question but I said," I never knew there was a stadium here, which match is going on." They looked at each other and suddenly one brought out a stick. Before he could say anything I instinctively pulled out riptide from its pen form. He was amazed and I slashed at him. He yelled and fell down. The other pointed his stick and I don't know why but I suddenly ducked and was saved from a jet of light. I willed for water and it responded. There must have been a pond nearby. I doused him with gallons of water before using the same water as a rope to bind him. He was bound in a cocoon of water and he groaned and struggled to remove it. I suddenly heard voices calling saying my name aloud.
I was feeling a bit weird. I had seen these sticks somewhere. How did I know that he was about to send a jet of light at me. The one whom I had slashed got up and shot a light at me. I didn't move fast enough and got blasted of my feet. I went and landed ten meters behind. I willed for water to heal me. It rushed to my aid. I felt better the moment the water touched me. I picked up riptide and charged towards him. With my newfound strength I was too quick for him. I dodged all of his *lights* and stabbed in the stomach. I expected him to disintegrate but it didn't happen. He just groaned in pain and fell heavily on the floor. He lay there moaning pain. I was surprised. He seemed human. How did riptide hurt him if he was human? If he was a monster why didn't he disintegrate? Was he a demigod? I knelt beside and summoned for water. I tried to heal him with it. It cleared the blood but did nothing else as riptide's wounds couldn't be healed with mere water. I was helpless and I looked around for help. Many people in robes were rushing towards us.
One man knelt beside me and pulled his damn twig out. He muttered something sounding like 'pesky' or something. In an instant the wound healed. I stared at the man with amazement etched on my face. The man looked at me with a grim expression. He said," What are you? How did you control water?" Obviously he had seen everything. I was wonderstruck at his healing powers and didn't say anything. He said," The aurors will deal with you." He turned around and said to his subordinate," Call the Magical law enforcement as well." With that he bound me with ropes and levitated me inside a room. I was so surprised I didn't even struggle. He brought me down hard on a chair and locked the room. I thought I was dreaming. What the heck? How did they do this?
In a minute the door opened again and a woman with brown hair walked in. She had a wary look and looked at me as if I was a dangerous disease. She was followed by a man with shaggy black eyebrows and thick black hair. Both of them looked to be in their thirties. They held their *sticks* aloft and walked over.
The man barked out," Who are you. Tell everything about yourself." I decided that truth was the best way out. Maybe then I could hound him with questions of my own.
I took a deep breath and began. If he was mortal then he wouldn't understand anything but he didn't look like a mortal. I had just come to the part about Yancy's academy when the window beside me rattled. I looked and saw a blonde face peering in. It was annabeth! ANNABETH! I couldn't believe it. I almost grinned in relief. Now I was saved from these crazy people. She motioned for me to be quiet and I jerked my head saying okay. I turned towards the woman who was looking with a queer expression on her face.
She hadn't heard the window rattle but saw me moving my head. She walked over and looked out but Annabeth slipped into the shadows and was long gone. She turned and looked at me questioningly. I just shrugged and she went back though she kept giving suspicious glances at the window. I continued though I fed them some cock and bull shit. They waited patiently as I rambled on and the man even yawned once.
Suddenly I had an explosion, the very distraction I was counting on. The man turned sharply and said to the woman," Claire I'll be right back. Make sure he doesn't go anywhere." She nodded and side," Right, Warren I'll do that."
The moment the man went I started to try and wiggle the pen out of my pocket. I wasn't exactly inconspicuous and Claire noticed me. She raised her stick and pointed it at me. By that time Riptide was out and in sword form. I slit my ropes with ease and looked up. She was astounded to say the least. I rushed forward but she moved away and sent a jet of light at me. It got me full in the face but I didn't feel pain. Not one bit. She kept on edging backwards. But unfortunately for her she moved towards the door where Annabeth was waiting with a smirk on her face. She hit Claire with the butt of her dagger and Claire gave a surprised shriek and slumped down unconscious. I grinned at Annabeth and said," Thanks Wise Girl, now let's get out of here. I dint need to tell her as she was already out of the window. I chased after her and we both disappeared in the woods.
As soon as we were out of the woods we started talking. I said," How did you know where I was."
She said," When you didn't return for some time I started getting worried. I IM'd you and saw you in a battle. You were hurtling gallons of water on some poor mite. I yelled out but you couldn't hear me. So I took to Juniper. With her Naiadal powers she saw the trees surrounding you and deducted where the place would be. I couldn't use my reflector because it was dark but Juniper gave me all the information I needed. I sneaked out of camp, took the ferry and arrived here."
I said," Thanks again. God knows where I would be now if you didn't come." I gave her a quick hug and we continued moving afraid to stop.
Then I told her about my crazy night and she stared at me disbelievingly but she knew I wasn't lying. I asked if she knew who these people were. She went into deep thought for around ten minutes and said," No I've never heard of them." I thought to myself," Well that settles it. If Annabeth doesn't know then there's no way that anyone would."
Then Annabeth said slowly," Maybe Chiron knows. He is the only one who can know."
We went to the Staten Island ferry depot but there were no ferries at this time. We spent a couple of hours till down at the pace huddled in a corner. Soon it was dawn. We boarded the ferry and were leaving when Annabeth said," At least your safe Sea Weed brain." I smiled and said," Wondered why you didn't say it yet."
Warren
It was just a distraction. Why didn't I know it? I do hope that boy still is there. I hope Claire has him in hand. I hurried back to the room and went in. Just what I had feared. Claire was lying sprawled eagled on the floor. I knelt and tapped my wand on her and said," Rennervate." She opened her eyes scrunching it up as she slowly got up. I said," Are you okay? What happened? How did he get away? She explained and I had to admit I was pretty mad but she seemed to be as cool as a cucumber. That made madder. I yelled at her," Why are you so calm. Don't you understand? We are in a mess now. It'll make the headlines tomorrow. Aurors bamboozled by a teenage boy. "
She smirked and said," Chill dude. He is under track. I sent a spell at him when I knew I was going to be overpowered. I can monitor exactly where he is. We'll soon get the whole lot of them in hand."
