Hey guys, so I'm back again, I've been very bored today, so I figured I might as well write another chapter of this. But in all honesty I should be doing homework, I have like 4 stories for creative writing due on Monday, but what can I say, I'm a procrastinator. So between playing with my bunnies today and setting up my bedroom (we just finished a major remodel) I found time to write another chapter. Hope you enjoy it!
Percy's POV
Annabeth and I were sitting on the beach at camp when the letter appeared. She was curled up in my lap and I was playing with her hair, something that was becoming a habit, while we watched the waves roll in.
We came to camp as often as possible now even though we have our own apartment together in the city because camp will always be home.
About a month after we got back from our trip to Little Whinging I proposed and by some miracle Annabeth said yes.
Things were great. We finally got the chance to be somewhat normal,well as normal as a demigod can get, along with most of the others. Although we still monsters trying to kill us at every turn at least the world was no longer in the balance and we all got the chance to sit back and enjoy life.
Anyway we were siting on the beach when we got the letter. Everything was very serene and quite and then out of the blue, a loud pop sounded and it was sitting in Annabeth's lap scaring the Hades out of both of us. Thanks Hermes!
"Ahh!" Annabeth fell over in shock making me start to laugh uncontrollably.
"It's not funny Seaweed Brain!" she exclaimed at me. As I continued to laugh she punched me in the arm, like really hard, making me immediately stop.
"Ow," I whined, rubbing the forming bruise. "Geez Wise Girl, did you have to hit me that hard?"
"Well you deserved it," she shot back, trying and failing to hide her amusement. " It wasn't funny."
"Come on," I said grinning. "You have to admit that was priceless, almost nothing scares you!" As I was talking, Annabeth picked up the letter that was now lying a couple feet away from us and began to read it, her face turning serious.
"Whats it say?" I asked her, me too becoming serious.
"Dear Percy and Annabeth,
Remember how I told you Voldemort, the evilest wizard ever to live, was rising? Well he's almost to full power, but almost seems to be worse than at full power. The ministry of magic is refusing to believe that he has risen and the minister, Cornelius Fudge, is convinced that Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of my school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is trying to take his place by training the students of Hogwarts and is planning on using us as an army to overthrow him. Because of this fact, Fudge has placed Dolores Umbridge in Hogwarts as our Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, except she refuses to teach us anything, so some of the students asked me to teach them how to defend themselves and I've been trying, but there is only so much I can do. You said if I needed help all I had to do was ask, so I am. Will you please find a way to help me teach myself and my fellow students?
Harry." She read aloud to me.
"Wow," I said.
"I know!" Annabeth agreed.
"They have a Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" I exclaimed. " That is so unfair!"
"Really Seaweed Brain? That's all you got out of that entire letter?" My face reddened at her accusation but before I could defend my self she continued.
"We need to show this to Chiron." I nodded my head in agreement. I already knew we were going to help Harry, even though I enjoy getting to relax, I've been getting restless without all the action, and I know Annabeth has too, we just need to find a way to and if anyone can make that posible Chiron can.
"Race ya to the big house!" I challenged her as we both began running.
"Why do you even bother trying when you know I'm going to win?" she inquired. I just grinned goofily at her and kept running.
When we almost to the and I was a few feet ahead when Thalia came out of now where and tripped me.
"What's the hurry Kelp Head?" She playfully demanded.
"Ugh," I groaned. "Really Thalia? I almost beat her that time!" I whined
"Told ya I'd win Seaweed Brain," Annabeth called from the porch of the big house. " And thanks Thals!"
"No prob Annie," Thalia hollered back as she helped me up.
"Don't call me Annie," Annabeth said angerly, glaring at Thalia.
"So when did the hunters get here?" I probed.
"About an hour ago," she replied, looking pointedly at the two of us. " Which you would know if you could drag yourselves away from each other every now and then." Annabeth and I both ignored the jab and instead gave her a hug.
"Sorry we can't stay and chat longer," Annabeth started. " But we have to go talk to Chiron, so see you later?"
"Kay, don't take to long though," she replied and we started walking towards the big house. "I don't know how long we'll get before capture the flags starts and you will need to be prepared to be beaten!" she called after us.
"When Hades freezes over!" we yelled back simultaneously as we continued into the big house.
Thanks for reading and reviewing everyone! It means a lot!
