Percy's POV

It was dinnertime, and we were finally going to learn everything about our guests. They were going to learn everything about us, too. Chiron, Dumbledore, and Mr. D were all sitting at the head table; Mr. D decided not to sit with his kids today. Chiron was standing next to the table, and as always, after he made a few announcements, he would shrink back into his wheelchair and sit at the end. Today, though, he would be making . The Ares table was giving the Slytherin table evil stares. Annabeth sat with her siblings, and I sat with Tyson and Grover. Annabeth was my girlfriend. I noticed Harry and a Gryffindor girl acting strangely with each other; hold each others hands, glancing at the other and smiling, et cetera. Maybe Harry has a girlfriend. I've noticed that girl before; I think her name was something like Jenny, or Genie, or…Ginny! That was her name.

There was definitely something between Ron and Hermione that I hadn't seen before; they were being more lovey-dovey than before. Things happen fast when children of the goddess of love were around. Ron looked at Ginny and Harry's intertwined hands and looked as if he were debating something. Hermione noticed too and looked at him sternly. Maybe Ginny was a past girlfriend of Ron's (A/N yuck), or maybe a sibling. They looked alike, so I'm guessing it was a brother-sister relationship.

Ron and I weren't the only ones noticing the bond between Ginny and Harry. This must be a new development with this kind of reaction. Cho was glaring at Ginny from the Ravenclaw table; she was definitely a past girlfriend of Harry's. She was obviously jealous at Ginny and her position as his new girlfriend. Luna, who was at the same table, just smiled, with a faraway look in her eyes I might add, at the pair.

The wood nymphs came forward with platters of food. The guests looked surprised; it was as if they expected food to just magically appear on their plates. Humph. Then they all watched us curiously as we went table by table to the giant fire and threw some food in. When I got to the fire, I whispered, "Poseidon." After that, I thought, thanks for sticking up for me on the beach, before I turned back to my table. Instead of eating my food, I watched our guest's faces of confusion as they watched the campers throw food into the fire.

When all the campers were seated, Dumbledore stood up next to Chiron, "Obviously, you are from different worlds. You are not the same," Dumbledore started.

"But you have your similarities. Both of your worlds are hidden from the mortal, or Muggle, eye. Both of your worlds must battle dark forces," Chiron continued. Dumbledore shot a look at the blonde boy from the Slytherin table. Maybe he didn't want to fight dark forces; he might want to be one of them.

"Of course, you have your differences. The world that I am a professor in," the campers held their breaths, "is the world of magic. Campers, your new guests are witches and wizards. They have a dark force to battle just as you do, and his name is Lord Voldemort. He is a dark wizard who was in the Slytherin house. Sadly, the father of one of your guests, Draco Malfoy, is a Death Eater. The Death Eaters are Lord Voldemort's followers, and are highly dangerous.

"Campers of Camp Half-Blood, you know that Percy Jackson is the boy of your prophecy," Harry looked at me with raised eyebrows. So did all the other Hogwarts students, "Well, Harry Potter is the boy of one of our prophecies. This prophecy was made before he was born, just as Percy's was. Harry's prophecy sent Voldemort after him when he was a baby. Voldemort killed his mother and father, and tried to kill Harry. But a powerful magic that Voldemort looked over protected him. His mother, Lily, died to save him. His protection was love," Dumbledore smiled at the Aphrodite table, "which was a protection that Voldemort has never, and will never, receive. The Killing Curse he used on Harry backfired, and we all believed him dead. But, in Harry's fourth year, Voldemort returned. I will spare you the details. The Ministry of Magic refused to believe that he had returned. But then, because of recent events in Harry's fifth year, involving Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Luna, Voldemort, young Mr. Malfoy's father, a few other Death Eaters, and a few of the Order of the Phoenix members, they had to admit that Voldemort returned."

"All in all, campers, our guests' world isn't so different from ours. One boy has the weight of a prophecy on his shoulders in both, and both have an evil force trying to overthrow the good. Just one world is a world of magic and the other is a world of…you'll find out," Chiron concluded for Dumbledore

Hermione shot her hand up as if she were in class. Dumbledore gave her permission to speak, "So, what about their world? I already guessed, but I want you to explain it!"

Chiron did, "Just as Professor Dumbledore said, Percy also has the burden of a prophecy. But this one is about the fate of our world, of course. The world of Greek Mythology; it really isn't mythology, though. It's all real; the gods, the heroes, the titans, even the monsters. Also the harmless creatures, such as nymphs, dryads, naiads, satyrs, and centaurs are a few. Each one of these children here are children of the Greek gods. There are three children here right now that should not be alive, though. One of them has made a life choice to become an immortal Hunter of Artemis. Another was sired without breaking the oath; he was trapped in a hotel in which time freezes. The last is Percy Jackson. All could have had, or might have the fate of this prophecy. For now, we are sure that Percy is the child of the prophecy. The other two are Thalia, daughter of Zeus, and Nico, son of Hades. Percy is a son of Poseidon," Chiron told them about Greek Mythology.

"Now that we all know the other's secret, the Hogwarts students can once again use their magic, and the campers of Camp Half-Blood are free to use their control over elements. Just don't hurt one another. The only exception is an accident in swordplay. No exception involves magic," Dumbledore said. Then he addressed his students, "Students, some of your teachers have decided to come down here to give you extra training. Since we never seem to have a standing Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, the position seems to be cursed; I will be your mentor in that subject." I watched the Hogwarts students' faces; the emotion was of wonder. As I'd learned from Athena, he is super intelligent and obviously powerful, "Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick will be joining us here tomorrow; their subjects will best help you in a fight. Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, I'm, sorry, but your heads of house won't be coming. Their subjects, Potions and Herbology, just don't help in battle. Professor Snape offered to teach you what I will be teaching, but I thought that you would enjoy getting the chance to be taught by me." I saw Harry visibly sigh with relief; this Snape character must be bad.

When they were told they were allowed to use magic, our guests pulled out some sort of stick, each one different. Then they waved the sticks and muttered stuff, and different magic happened. Harry made his utensils float, Ron made his utensils go the extra mile and feed him, Hermione made a book appear (odd…she wanted to read now?), and Ginny gave Malfoy a pig snout. I couldn't help but laugh at that. The Ares Cabin looked a little bummed that they couldn't do that to him, but also they looked like they admired Ginny for attacking him in such a way. Ron gave Ginny a high five, Hermione did the same, and Harry flashed a grin at her and pecked her on the cheek.

Cho didn't let this go unnoticed. She lifted her wand (I'm pretty positive that's what the sticks were) and started muttering, the wand pointed strait at Ginny. I stared at Harry, trying to get his attention, and I actually managed to. I pointed behind him, and he turned around. He raised his wand and actually shouted, "EXPELLIARMUS!" As he said this, his wand was pointed at Cho, and her wand went flying out of her hand with a flash of red light to counter the golden one shooting at Ginny.

"Miss Chang! Why would you do such a thing to Miss Weasley?" Dumbledore asked bewildered.

When she refused to answer, Ginny did for her, "She's jealous that I'm Harry's new girlfriend, that I'm replacing her." Cho just glared at her.

"I don not want to get involved with teen affairs. Miss Chang, do not attack Ginny again, or anyone else. No one shall attack anyone else," Dumbledore announced, "Miss Chang, you will be punished for using magic to cause a fight."

"But Ginny gave Malfoy a pig's snout, and Harry engaged in the fight with me!" she countered. She was actually talking back?

"Miss Weasley's was a prank, a gene that her brothers got as well. It must be in Weasley blood to be pranksters. That does not give her permission to hex people, but since her actions were a harmless prank, and yours were for injury, you will be punished, and she will not be.

"As for Mr. Potter, he did not make the spell backfire on you; he just prevented it from hitting anyone. His actions were in defense. He will not be punished for blocking as a shield would." I watched this exchange in fascination. These people could really use magic!

Harry's POV

Ginny was my girlfriend. As I watched the campers put some of their food into the fire, whispering to their selves as they went (I found this action odd), I kept sneaking glances at Ginny. She was smiling every time I looked. I loved to see her smile.

I listened through Dumbledore's explanation of our world. I didn't want to hear another story about 'The Boy Who Lived' or 'The Chosen One'. I was sick of whom I was; I always wished I could be normal for a change (preferably not in Goyle's body). When he mentioned that Percy had a prophecy, I raised my eyebrows at him. At least I'm not the only one on this planet who has to think about a prophecy all the time.

Now it was time to learn about their mysterious world. According to Hermione, these people are children of the Greek gods. I'm not sure if I should believe her or not, but I'll find out soon enough.

Hermione shot her hand up as if she were in class once Dumbledore and Chiron finished explaining my world. Dumbledore gave her permission to speak, "So, what about their world? I already guessed, but I want you to explain it!" Show off.

Chiron did, "Just as Professor Dumbledore said, Percy also has the burden of a prophecy. But this one is about the fate of our world, of course. The world of Greek Mythology; it really isn't mythology, though. It's all real; the gods, the heroes, the titans, even the monsters. Also the harmless creatures, such as nymphs, dryads, naiads, satyrs, and centaurs are a few. Each one of these children here are children of the Greek gods. There are three children here right now that should not be alive, though. One of them has made a life choice to become an immortal Hunter of Artemis. Another was sired without breaking the oath; he was trapped in a hotel in which time freezes. The last is Percy Jackson. All could have had, or might have the fate of this prophecy. For now, we are sure that Percy is the child of the prophecy. The other two are Thalia, daughter of Zeus, and Nico, son of Hades. Percy is a son of Poseidon," Chiron told us about Greek Mythology. I looked at Hermione with my mouth wide open. She had a smug look on her face; she was right. Her theory was correct.

I was thrilled when I learned I could use magic at this camp; I was underage and as such, I'm not allowed to use magic outside of school. But if the headmaster of my school allowed it, we could! I was even more excited when I found out that Dumbledore announced he would be teaching us Defense Against the Dark Arts. I was even more excited when I found out that only two teachers from Hogwarts were coming and neither of them was Snape. I was definitely going to have fun at this camp.

My first action of magic was completely random and unnecessary: I made my utensils float. I looked up when I heard laughter. I turned to Ginny, who had her wand pointed at Malfoy. Malfoy now had a pig's snout! I laughed as I watched Malfoy's face go from scared to angry. Ron gave Ginny a high five, Hermione gave her a high five as well, and I flashed a smile at her and gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

I took my fork from its position in the air and started to eat. I felt someone's eyes on me, so I lifted my head up in that direction. It was Percy, and he had a warning look in his eyes. He pointed behind me, and out of reflex I picked up my wand. I turned around and saw Cho finishing the lines of a rather long curse. I stood up, pointed my wand at her, and shouted, "EXPELLIARMUS!" Just as a golden flash of light escaped her wand, it flew out of her hand by my red one, stopping the curse from reaching its target: Ginny.

"Miss Chang! Why would you do such a thing to Miss Weasley?" Dumbledore asked bewildered.

When she refused to answer, Ginny did for her, "She's jealous that I'm Harry's new girlfriend, that I'm replacing her." Cho just glared at her. Why is she jealous? I thought she was Michael Corner's girlfriend!

"I don not want to get involved with teen affairs. Miss Chang, do not attack Ginny again, or anyone else. No one shall attack anyone," Dumbledore announced, "Miss Chang, you will be punished for using magic to cause a fight."

"But Ginny gave Malfoy a pig's snout, and Harry engaged in the fight with me!" she countered. She was actually talking back? To Dumbledore? Our headmaster?

"Miss Weasley's was a prank, a gene that her brothers got as well. It must be in Weasley blood to be pranksters. That does not give her permission to hex people, but since her actions were a harmless prank, and yours were for injury, you will be punished, and she will not be.

"As for Mr. Potter, he did not make the spell backfire on you; he just prevented it from hitting anyone. His actions were in defense. He will not be punished for blocking as a shield would." Cho looked livid, but did not talk back again. Michael must have broken up with her.

We all enjoyed the rest of dinner, conversation slowly starting back up after Cho's scene. As soon as I sat down, I caught Percy's eye and mouthed, thank you. He nodded. Just to make Cho mad, Ginny scooted closer to me and used her free hand to hold mine. I enjoyed it, but it was wrong to be mean to Cho. Even so, I did not pull away. I finished my meal, and so did Ginny, Ron, and Hermione. Ginny and I walked back to the Gryffindor Cabin holding hands, and so did Ron and Hermione. I don't think I want to know what happened between my two best friends; I just knew the result, and that was enough.

When we arrived at the cabin, the girls went to their room and Ron and I went to ours. We got ready for bed, and then got into our separate beds. I fell asleep thinking about all that I learned at dinner. I was in the presence of half-gods. I can't wait until tomorrow.
