Harry's Quest, Percy's Quest

Annabeth's POV
I was playing volleyball with some of my siblings when we were interrupted by a Hermes kid. He gave me the note he was holding and walked away. I stood there for a second, watching him leave, with an eyebrow raised. That was strange. I opened it and read the Greek writing in the inside:
Annabeth,
I have important things to tell you about Kronos and Voldemort. Meet me at the Big House immediately.
Chiron
I told my siblings where I was going and headed off for the Big House. I wonder what Chiron wants to tell me. I arrived just as Percy did. So this involves him too; of course it does, anything about Kronos these days has to do with Percy. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Professor Dumbledore, and Mr. D were there also. Mr. D didn't seem like he cared or knew that we were there, so his presence didn't matter.
"Let's go inside," Chiron suggested. We all went inside the Big House (the porch was too small to fit us all) and sat in the chairs. I looked at each person's face. Hermione looked curious, Ron looked confused, Ginny looked like she had no idea why she was there, Harry looked like he suspected what was going on, and Percy looked…I blushed; he was looking at me.
"Kronos and Voldemort must be stopped," Dumbledore started. I noticed that no one in this room flinched at the sound of Voldemort's name.
"Professor Dumbledore found a way to eliminate Voldemort," Chiron added, "He has informed Mr. Potter about this." I glanced at Harry; his expression didn't change.
"And we already know what we need to do to defeat Kronos; chop him up into as many pieces as possible," Dumbledore continued.
"We need you six to find the things Professor Dumbledore told Harry are needed to end Voldemort once and for all. It will be easier to beat Kronos and him when it comes time to fight this way. This will be a quest. Harry will lead the Voldemort part of the quest. But when anything that involves all things Greek occurs, Percy is in charge," Chiron explained. Harry and Percy looked at each other and nodded. Seaweed Brain actually looks like a smart person! I mentally laughed at my pathetic excuse for a joke.
"Excuse me, but I have a question," Ginny piped up.
"What is your question, Miss Weasley?" Dumbledore asked.
"Why am I coming?" she asked.
He smiled sadly, "My dear, Lord Voldemort has already seen you with Harry. Bellatrix made a comment about you being his girlfriend. If he, your ultimate protection, left you here, you would be in danger. Voldemort would abduct you, giving Harry a choice. The choice Voldemort will most likely force Harry to make is something he almost always does; one life for another. Harry would die for you."
Ginny looked bewildered, and I said, "Percy's fatal flaw. To save a friend you could destroy the world."
Chiron gave me a look he gives me a lot. I learned that it meant 'I knew you would get it sooner or later', "Yes, Harry and Percy's fatal flaw are the same. They are two very similar boys." I looked at both Harry and Percy. They both had black untamed hair, green eyes, rebellious look, strong, prophecies made about them, and fifteen. The differences were small; Harry's scar, Percy's grey hair from holding up the sky, Harry's glasses, Percy always smelled of the sea air, Harry was born July 31st when Percy was born August 18th, Harry is a wizard, Percy is a demigod. Weird…
"You six should pack for your quest," Dumbledore suggested.
"What about the Oracle?" Percy asked.
"This situation is an exception. You do not need to see the Oracle," Chiron answered, "Now go."
