Sorry about grammar. Problem is that I mainly look at the plot and if the story is turning out alright. I do normal spell checks but that's the most I do about grammar. I'll try to do better.

I have a question and I need suggestions. Has Rick said anything about what happens to demigods after they grow of age? I mean surely they can't continue to live at camp for ever. In the roman camp there is a city and all that. But there is no Roman camp in this story and I can't steal Rick's idea. Can you please give a few suggestions?

Percy

It was early in the morning when Annabeth and I reached Half Blood Hill. We slowly started climbing the seemingly humongous hill. I panted as I tried to pull myself up," Annabeth help me" I said extending a hand. She smirked slightly but didn't taunt me like usual before reaching out her hand. I grasped it and heave myself over and lay there breathing heavily. I guessed that she herself was so tired that she didn't have the energy to tease me. If she was tired then I was exhausted. I didn't have anything to eat since that small I had yesterday. My muscles were aching from lack of rest and were demanding that I let them relax. Suddenly I remembered about the sons of Ares, Phobos and Deimos. I had completely forgotten about them. Demeter would probably make me an ornamental plant in Olympus if I saw her. "I am so dead" I thought. With these happy thoughts I got up and followed Annabeth who was leaning against Thalia's pine in the distance taking a break. I walked over and looked down at the valley below.

In the early morning's sun Camp looked really beautiful. The sea in the distance glittered and sparkled under the sun (or is it Apollo). But we couldn't just stand keep standing like this and admiring. We began to climb down and soon the cabins sprawled unevenly, the big house and the rest came into view properly.

Some of the campers were already up and about. Katie Gardner and some other children of Demeter were in the strawberry fields magically growing the strawberries. It was an amusing sight to watch but I didn't particularly want to meet the Demeter cabin, not when their patron was mad at me.

We saw some other campers and nodded politely to them. Suddenly I heard a bleat behind me and I turned around is surprise. It was Grover. He hurried over and said," Where were you Percy? Everyone is worried. Chiron has called a camp counselor meeting. You better go there at once."

I told him," Long story dude. Got stuck-"Annabeth cut me off," Chiron has a camp meeting, is it? Come on Percy we need to be there. You can tell your heroic story there." The last part was slightly sarcastic and I rolled my eyes. I said," Come on Grover, you come too."

We went into the big house and into the ping pong room. Everyone were sitting with grim expressions and Chiron was just saying something," …found that the two were miss-"when Annabeth interrupted," Right here Chiron." Chiron and several heads turned in our direction. Chiron came over and said with a small smile," Where were you too? I understand that Percy was on a quest but Annabeth, my dear where did you go. Malcolm found your bed empty when he awoke an hour ago." I repeated again," Long story, Chiron. Can I eat something first. I haven't had had anything since yesterday noon. I'm starving." Chiron said," Ok, let's get to breakfast right away. Then he turned around and said to the other counselors," Meeting at 8:30. Eat something and come back."

We made our way to the Dining Pavilion. As soon as I walked out of the Big House Annabeth and I were herded by campers asking me what happened. I pleaded with them to let me have something to eat before saying anything. They pestered me for a little while when Annabeth finally had enough. Connor was in the midst of saying," Hey Annabeth did you and Percy just fake this for you know…-" when Annabeth pulled out her dagger and pointed it at Connor's throat, her eyes narrowed and eyebrows raised up. He just shut up and stared warily at the dagger at his throat with wide eyes. I chuckled slightly partly at Connor's face and partly at Annabeth blushing slightly. I moved on not wanting to get involved in this and sat down in Poseidon's table. It was empty even after the war. Many other campers had started to arrive at Camp Half Blood and the other cabins were looking a bit full. Only Zeus', Hera's, Artemis' and Hestia's were empty now. Athena and Ares alone had 42 campers. That was more than the amount we had in the war.

I wished for some blue coke as usual. Normally I didn't drink coke for breakfast but today was anything but normal. I needed some caffeine after the last strenuous hours. I wished for scrambled eggs along with pancakes with maple syrup and an apple cheddar quiche. I know weird combination but I was really hungry. A few months ago Chiron had made a new rule. The winners of Capture the Flag get to eat whatever food they want for a week. I mean it is not the same barbecue everyday and whatever drink you wanted. It was whatever food you wanted and whatever drink you wanted. Last Friday I had joined up with Athena and we had beaten Ares cabin though it was close.

After eating a heavy breakfast I got up from my table. I was feeling better now though I couldn't concentrate properly. Constant thoughts of sleep made me long for my bed in Cabin 3. But there was work to be done. It was 8:20 now and I strode over to the big house. I went into the rec room and saw that only Will, Lue and Butch were present. I didn't know them very well so I just said," Hi" before sitting down on one of the chairs. Annabeth came in next and sat down beside me. We talked randomly waiting for the others. Soon people started coming and the babble of talk grew louder and louder when Chiron appeared. The room grew quiet almost at once it was exactly half past eight. He trotted in and broached on the topic at once," Ok everyone now let's hear what Percy and Annabeth have to say."

Before I could begin someone walked in. Someone wearing leopard spotted Hawaiian shirt along with black shorts and purple running shoes. His hair was dark and curly and his eyes were watery blue, bloodshot. Anyone could realize that he was drunk. The infamous Mr. D walked in.

I moaned into my hands and made no attempt to hide it. Mr. D said," Patrick Jenison doesn't seem too happy. I suppose this meeting, for which you haven't invited me by the way and as I am camp director of this camp you ought to, is to see why Perry is unhappy is it?"

Chiron said," Sorry, Mr. D it's just that Percy and Annabeth here-"Mr. D interrupted," Who." I rolled my eyes before answering," Me. I am Percy and she is Annabeth." Chiron continued," As I was saying Percy and Annabeth were missing since yesterday so we are having a meeting-" Mr. D interrupted," To find where they are I suppose. Well since they are back and are right here, I don't the point in having a meeting anymore. All of you back to your cabins."

I said furiously," When I was away I came across something that I was about to tell Chiron before your interruptions."

Mr. D looked at me coldly," Peter Johnson, it is I who will decide whether a meeting will take place or not whatever strange things might have taken place. I give you two minutes to speak your nonsense. That's it." I was glad and immediately started.

I began about everything that happened yesterday. I told them everything from when I met Demeter to the end. As I started talking about meeting Harry and all that happened then many eyebrows were raised. Mr. D was smiling sarcastically. Clarisse was saying something which sounded like," Always wants to be in the spotlight."

I glared at her and received one in return. I continued not bothering about whether anyone was believing in me or not. I just went on speaking. I don't know how I did it but the whole story was finished in two minutes.

I looked at Chiron to see what he made of it. Chiron was quiet and just stared at the table thinking hard. Mr. D looking disbelievingly said," Trash. Utter nonsense. There are no such creatures. If there are then even the gods don't know about them. Is that possible?"

The old buffer did have a point. If he didn't know about it and he was a god then logically they were just a figment of my imagination. But I had seen them clearly. I had experienced their power. How was it possible that they didn't exist?

Chiron then said," Percy… there is a legend that such creatures that you described do exist but it died out in the medieval period. The gods did not believe it. They used all their power in finding them but they couldn't. So the legend was deemed false. It was forgotten over time. "

Mr. D said," My dear horse, that time all of us gods used our powers yet there was no trace of them. How did this boy suddenly find himself captured by them? "

Chiron said," I don't know, perhaps we should consult the gods."

Annabeth and I couldn't understand much of it and we just looked at them wondering what the outcome would be. Mr. D couldn't say anything as there wasn't anything wrong in asking the gods.

He said," Alright, Alright if you want to waste your time. Do whatever you want. "

Chiron said," Well that's decided then."

I said," But when Chiron? It's not as if the gods will be waiting in the throne room for us. They only meet at the solstices."

Chiron turned to the wine god," It's your job isn't it Mr. D. As camp director for the demigods when there might be a threat to the camp you should call the gods for a meeting right?"

Mr. D didn't have a suitable response for that and he just muttered," As if there is a threat."

Then in a flash he vanished, probably teleported off to Olympus.

Katie sighed in relief and said," Thank goodness he didn't cause many problems this time."

Chiron said," Yes, but I'm more worried about what's going to happen now. Lue" he said turning to the counselor of Hecate cabin "tell me what you understand out of all this. Was this magic what Percy saw?"

Lue said," I don't know Chiron. Magic that we use is not with the sticks that Percy described. They could be wands but I'm not sure. I mean the wand magic was just a belief and that was magic performed by witches and wizards in fairy tales. But in reality I don't know. I mean it isn't possible that the witches and wizards of fairy tales are true."

I thought of all she said. Then I said," But witches in fairy tales are like spooky bad people right. But apart from wearing robes and cloaks they seemed like normal people. The boy I met, Harry Potter was a nice fellow. The people who caught me did it so because I attacked two of their people. It was more of you know self defense than attack."

This puzzled the others even more. Finally Travis said," You mean you don't know whether they are monsters or not." I said," No they didn't seem like monsters. They were perfectly normal but they weren't mortals. They could see through the mist."

Will Solace from Apollo Cabin said," But if they could see through the mist why did we not know of each other's existence until now. I mean it's not like they are aliens who landed right now. Like us they too might are probably ages old, maybe like the gods. "He was right. That was a good point. I could just say," I don't know. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked you."

Chiron said," Maybe the gods know." Annabeth said," But if they do why haven't they told you. I mean you are not any younger than them. "

He said," I certainly don't remember anything that explains what Percy saw, of course other than what I said about the rumors but as Mr. D says they were proved wrong. "

There was nothing to do now except wait for Mr. D to come back. I told Chiron," Hey Chiron I need some sleep. Can I go and get my beauty sleep." He just nodded still deep in thought. Then I said," Wake me up if something happens or if the wine dude comes back."

Annabeth said," I need some sleep too. Bye guys."

Annabeth headed towards the cabins but not me. I didn't follow her. I needed my sleep to be refreshing. I went to the beach. I waded into the water and went in so far that I was completely submerged in water. I walked in even further. I literally walked in. I was about 10 feet in the water. Some marine animals came curiously. They soon got the aura of Poseidon around me and bowed and went away leaving me in peace. I put my head on a cushion of water and went into a deep sleep.

Harry

"Harry, listen, HARRY, RON, HARRY, someone listen, oh come on HARRY wake up, dammit, RON, wake up." I jolted awake at my name being called. Someone was banging the door and yelling their heads off.

As I got out of the sleepy and dazed state I realized that it was Hermione. I mumbled," What do you want." She said," Kingsley's on the fire. He wants to talk to you guys. Wake the red headed git and both of you come to my room. ASAP."

I slowly got up. I said," Ron wake up, it's urgent. "I thought he was waking up so I went to the door. As I was about to open it I realized that he didn't. Instead of going over and waking him up I used the most effective technique that I learned two years ago. I pulled out my wand and pointed it towards him and none verbally said," Levicorpus." A green light shot out and Ron's ankle was hoisted up. He yelled," Aaah. What the hell." For a few seconds he looked out around trying to figure out why he was upside down. He saw the smirk on my face and understood. "Oh HELL it's you. Now put me down, will you."

I muttered the counter jinx and he crashed on the bed. He stood up, his Weasley hair tousled and a scowl on his face. Like me he too was fully dressed. I said," Come fast, else Hermione will kill us.

He said," What for?" I replied," Apparently Kingsley's calling us."

I opened the door and went into the next room. Hermione was sitting by the fire talking to Kingsley. He saw us walk in and scowled. He said," Come on you two be alert. You're an Auror. I heard Hermione screaming till here and even a dead person would've woken up before you guys."

We muttered our apologies and sat down. He said," Now the next plan is you three are coming back to England. This is the joint decision of both the minister and me. You were supposed to be undercover and that part failed. I think they are aware of your existence over there." The last part was sarcastic and I could see that Kingsley was definitely displeased with our efforts. We didn't say anything, our heads just bowed down in shame. The sound of a pop came which told us that he had gone and slowly we got up. I went into my room and starting packing everything.

I didn't really notice what I was doing. Did Kingsley really expect me to defeat one of Voldemort's most trusted followers who probably knew so much dark magic that I would find out only from experience?

"But then again I had beaten Voldemort himself."

"Only because of the elder wand."

"I escaped several times without it."

"With the help of twin cores. Not much skill."

"It wasn't twin cores all the time. On the night I left the Dursley's no twin cores."

"But the wand did something funny. Not the holder."

I kept on arguing wondering whether I could have done something better in my duel with Dolohov.

If it wasn't for the muggle I would have died. I knew that. I was feeling pretty disappointed and frustrated. I justified that I did the best I could but I wasn't sure whether I was angry with Kingsley or myself.

The bags were packed and I went out the rooms. I wanted to get back to England fast and get on with the second assignment. But I needed to check out first. Apparition, Portkey, Floo travel, none of this was possible inside the hotel premises until you checked out.

Ron and Hermione came out a few minutes later and the three of us walked down the stairs, not speaking among ourselves at all. We reached the receptionist and told him that we were leaving. A little puzzled he said," But sirs and madam you planned for a month right." I nodded and he continued," Is there any problem with the hotel staff or our facilities."

Ron said impatiently," Surely we don't need to say everything. We have some urgent business and we need to depart. Make it fast."

He nodded hurriedly mumbling apologies and gave us our bill. We paid him with the money given to us by the British Auror ministry. Then we went out. Hermione took a cauldron out of her beaded bag and muttered," Portus "focusing hard on the place we wanted to go. The cauldron turned blue for a moment and then became normal.

Hermione being the bossy and kind of snobby person she was said," When it turns blue again which will be in a minute touch the cauldron." I rolled my eyes. She talked to us as if we were 3 year olds.

Just as it turned blue I was about to put my finger on it when a voice behind me said," Accio cauldron." I turned back in surprise to see the face of the manager of the hotel. The cauldron came flying to him and instead of catching it he hopped out of its way.

He then said," I'm extremely sorry but your boss just now gave us instructions to not let you leave. He will speak to you about it."

I looked at Ron and Hermione and saw that they wore the same bemused expression that I had on my face. I said," Um okay where is he?"

He said," In the fire. He is waiting."

He led the way into the hotel inside his room. In the fire I saw Kingsley's head. I said," What's wrong?"

He said," Mr. Dinning will you please excuse us for a few minutes." He bowed and went out.

Then Kingsley said," Harry didn't you say that you were in Stanton Island yesterday where you encountered Dolohov?"

I was puzzled as to why he would be asking about it and said," Yes, why?"

He said," Well yesterday American aurors found a boy who they claim can control water. Eye witnesses report that the boy manipulated water to create a cocoon of water inside which a security guard was wrapped in. The boy was found lurking around last night where when the guard attempted to obliviate him because he came to know of the stadium and magical folk, he beat both of them and then was captured by aurors. What do you make of that?"

" I don't know Kingsley. We definitely weren't there when this happened. We probably left."

" I haven't come to the important part yet. Their description of the boy says that he had dark black hair and sea green eyes. He was carrying a sword."

" What, but-but the boy I met was also….."I spluttered.

He said," Exactly, that was the same boy. He wasn't a muggle like you thought. I don't even think he was human."

My eyes had gone wide and I thought," I not only let Dolohov get away but also this Percy fellow. Shit! Kingsley is probably going to gruel me."

Then he said," Now I'm not going to talk about why you left the boy go. You have information regarding this boy. They have the location of this boy. Join them and find him out. Now this is your mission. If he is willing to join forces with the British its so much better for us. This is why you are helping the Americans understand."
I nodded, it made sense. I knew that Percy wasn't a bad guy and if he would help us it would be really awesome.

So how was it? Liked it? Its longer than the last chapter. I wanted to add a little more but I thought it would be too long.

Teaser from the next chapter

"I have scouted the whole area my lord. No evidence to prove that Jackson was right was found. He seems to be misinformed. "
