So don't know if you guys read The Blood of Olympus yet but I did, and all I can say is, that it wasn't as good as the first series. I mean I loved it don't get me wrong but seriously? (Spoiler Alert) Nobody died? (Well except for the people we didn't care about) Really? I mean I didn't want anybody to die but this was a war we're talking about, one that was supposedly bigger than the last one and the only people we actually saw dieing was Octavian and Leo, who didn't count becasue he came back to life. I know it's fictional but where the realistic flare from the first one? And please tell me I am not the only one pissed that neither Percy or Annabeth had a chapter in there point of veiw! (End Spoiler :P)Ughh! Anyway, sorry about that, none of my friends have finished it yet so I havn't had anyone to vent to. So I finished chapter 6, and I just want to thank you guys for hanging in with my crappy writing for so long, anyway, I'm going to go watch Revenge now (OMG it's getting so good!) Enjoy!
No Ones POV
Harry was for a lack of better words shocked. After a long and irritating (*cough* Umbridge *cough*) day of lessons, He, Ron, and Hermione were making there way to the mostly deserted Great Hall for dinner when Harry spotted the two teens standing at the end of the Gryffindor table talking to each other quietly. Seeing as he hadn't gotten a response to his letter yet he had not expected to see Percy and Annabeth here and certainly not dressed in Gryffindor robes. Glancing up, Annabeth's eyes caught Harry's and she smiled at him making Percy turn to see what had captured her attention.
"Harry!" He called happily. He grabbed Annabeth's hand and drug her over to the other three teens.
"Percy, Annabeth? What are you guys doing here?" Harry asked still in a daze as Ron and Hermione looked on in confusion.
"You said you needed help," Percy said.
"So here we are." Annabeth finished with a smile.
"But how?" Harry asked, still bemused.
"Dude, we have connections." Percy answered, leaning in slightly at the end.
"Uhm, alright," Seeing his best friends bewildered expressions Harry introduced them to each other. " "Ron, Hermione, these are Percy and Annabeth, you know the two I met over the summer?" He hinted to them.
A look of understanding crossed their faces as they look closer at the two teens in front of them.
"I'm Hermione Granger," Hermione said, her hand shooting out to shake each of their hands. "And this is Ron, we're Harry's best friends."
"Nice to meet you," Annabeth returned. "As Harry said, I'm Annabeth Chase and this idiot is my boyfriend Percy Jackson." She finished with a laugh.
"I resent that." Percy put in with humor in his eyes.
The group began to make small talk, avoiding what they really wanted to talk about seeing as students were trickling in to the Great Hall around them. They made their way to one of the benches at the Gryffindor table, getting some weird looks as they sat down.
"So you're both in Gryffindor I see." Harry stated as they were begging to eat. He had noted the couples almost tired shock at seeing all the beautifully displayed food appear out of nowhere, their expressions almost saying well, at least it's not trying to kill us.
"Yeah, some weird, old hat just shouted out Gryffindor before even touching our heads." Percy replied. "Man, I thought I'd seen it all when horses started talking to me."
"Horses?" Hermione questioned, once again bewildered. "Horses can talk to you?"
"Nice going Seaweed brain," Annabeth said, whacking Percy on the back of the head. "You freaked them out."
"Oww!" he replied, rubbing where she hit him. "Sorry, but they might as well start getting used to our world too because whether they like it or not our worlds are apart of each other now." To which Annabeth replied by rolling her eyes.
"So Dumbledore told us to ask you where we're sleeping..?" Annabeth half stated half asked. "He said something about me rooming with you and the other 5th years girls and Percy staying with Harry and Ron. I guess we're fifteen rather than eighteen." She said with a wink.
Later that night the group was patiently waiting for the Gryffindor common room to empty. They had been sitting in comfortable chairs by the fire talking and joking for the last few hours and now, finally, the room was empty. Harry watched as the last of his housemates made their way upstairs and then turned to Percy and Annabeth.
"Okay spill." He demanded.
"Jeeze, you sound like the Athena kids when they don't know some-" Percy was cut off by Annabeth once again slapping him upside the head. "Will you stop doing that?! I'm not invincible anymore, remember?"
Annabeth just shook her head and laughed to herself.
"Wow, wow, wow. Hold up. You were invincible?" Ron sputtered.
"Well mostly. I had a mortal point." Percy replied while dodging Annabeth's jab to his ribs.
"How about we start from the beginning Percy? Before you start bombarding them with facts that don't make sense?" Annabeth said with a pointed stare at him.
"Well then start from the beginning then." Hermione interjected, always eager for knowledge. "Harry said something about you guys being demigods. Does that mean what I think it means?"
"If you think it means that the world of Greek 'Mythology' actually exists then yes." Annabeth said calmly, putting hooks on mythology. Hermione and Harry were speechless, having learned about Greek myths when they were in muggle school. Ron on the other hand was completely clueless.
"Greek Mythology?" he asked. "What's Greek mythology?"
"Well," said Percy. "In ancient Greece the people came up with 'myths' revolving around gods to explain how the world worked, or at least that's what the world thinks. In reality the gods were real, are real, and still exist today, along with all the monsters and heroes as well. We," he continued, gesturing to himself and his girlfriend. "Are demigods. Children of both gods and mortals."
"I'm a son of Poseidon, god of the seas." Percy said after a pause.
"And I'm a daughter of Athena." Annabeth added. "Goddess of wisdom and battle strategy."
"But Athena-" Hermione started but was cut off by Annabeth.
"Was a virgin goddess. I know. But do you remember how she was said to have been born?"
"She sprung from Zeus' head." Hermione answered automatically.
"Exactly." Annabeth said. "Athena's children are born the same way. We are born from her thoughts."
"That's incredible." Hermione breathed, delighted to be in the presence of a daughter of wisdom, the things she must know!
"And yes, I have a belly button." Annabeth snapped at the slacked jawed looks she was getting from Ron and Harry.
"I wasn't going…" Ron started but trailed off.
"Anyway, the gods have been following you situation for a while now, especially Hecate. She the one who sent us here, our connection. She's the goddess of magic. She agrees with you Harry, that we can help train you guys, but your input is vital too. Don't forget it." Percy explained.
"She told us that we can tell people who we are, about our world but only you three as well as members of an organization called Dumbledore's Army. Maybe you can help us figure out who all that entails?" Annabeth added.
For the first time in the entire conversation Harry felt like he was finally on familiar ground.
"We started Dumbledore's Army." He stated "So knowing who all's in it won't be a problem."
"Well then, if you don't mind I'd like to go to sleep then." Percy said. Seeing as it was already eleven o'clock and they had lessons in the morning they all agreed it was time to go to bed. Percy and Annabeth fiercely hugged each other (Even though I LOVE Percabeth fluff, I feel like they're not a couple to make out in front of other people, and besides I think a hug is a much better way to say goodnight. :P) while the others said good night. Then the boys went one way and the girls went the other.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this guys! I know it's not that good but I was bored and waiting for Revenge to come on as well as procrastinating my homework.
Hope you survive school tomorrow!
Love, Emilou
