Percy's POV

My friends looked unsurprised. We were told to look after the kid, and this was him. Nothing more to it. Harry looked as if he was waiting for something. No one said anything. I decided to break the awkward silence. "Uh, hi. Guess I don't have to call you 'Boy' anymore."

The rest of my gang smiled. There was a knock on the door, and I jumped out of my chair to get it, yelling,"I'll get it!" I heard Thalia snicker, and Rachel laughed and said,"Calm down, Perce. You might hurt yourself."

I ignored them, walking back through the gloomy entryway, and taking in my surroundings. There was a row of creepy green heads with floppy ears hanging on the wall. Um, gross. Each of their eyes were open so I could see the glassy eyes. They seemed to follow me wherever I went, so I turned from the creepy heads and rushed down the hallway. Whoever was at the door didn't stop knocking, so I yelled,"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

When I pulled open the heavy door, Leo stood there, hand still raised. Jason, looking tired, Piper, and Reyna stood behind them, as well as the wizards who flew them here.

"You're early! Did something happen?" I asked. Jason had several scratches on his cheeks, and Reyna was scowling, blood was slowly dripping from a cut near her temple. Leo looked fine, but Piper had a small holes in her shirtsleeve, like acid had dripped on it. Leo was still grinning brightly, and he answered with humor layering his voice.

"My arm caught fire, so Piper tried to put it out. But she got burned and screamed. Jason practically dropped out of the sky, and his coin fell on Reyna from, like, 6 feet up in the air! It was hilarious!"

"It was not funny, Leo! We got hurt! And that's not even how it happened," Piper scolded him, before giving Jason a can-you-believe-this-guy look. He shrugged, and the wizards were talking to Reyna.

"Well come inside, everyone else is already here!" I wanted to get back to Annabeth. I backed up from the door, and they shuffled in. Reyna looked up from her conversation with Tonks.

"Are we supposed to tell them who we are. Or do we leave that a mystery?" she questioned. I shrugged.

"I dunno, we'll have to ask Sirius," I turned and jogged down the hall, back to the blue door. Pushing it open, I saw that an entire family of ginger-haired people had joined the group. They were scattered around the table in awkward silence. Going to sit next to Annabeth, I waved my hand through the air and said,"Yep, feels like awkward."

This produced some chuckles from the gathering, and the tension was relieved somewhat. Rachel sighed. The other part of our group filed in, starting with Leo, Piper, Reyna, and lastly, Jason. The wizards were right behind him.

When they all sat, it was wizards on one side, and demigods and Oracle on the other. We were all just looking down at the table, shifting in our chairs. The wizards however, were staring at us. It was Thalia who finally broke the silence.

"I don't know about you, but I'm fed up with all this gods-damned silence," she proclaimed. "Let's start with names. I'm Thalia Grace, but if you call me by my last name, I'll kill you. I'm the daughter of the Greek god Zeus."

Jason, who was sitting next to her, stood up. "I'm Jason Grace, and you can use my last name. I'm the son of the Roman god Jupiter. And I'm the brother of Thalia."

Piper next. "I'm Piper McLean, daughter of the Greek goddess Aphrodite."

"I'm Hazel Levesque, daughter of the Roman god Pluto, sister to Nico here."

"My name is Nico di Angelo, son of the Greek god Hades, and brother to Hazel."

" I'm Frank Zhang, son of the Roman god Mars."

"Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, daughter of the Roman goddess Bellona."

"My name is Rachel Elizabeth Dare, I'm not a demigod, but I'm the Oracle of Delphi."

"Annabeth Chase, daughter of the Greek goddess Athena."

My turn. Throughout this, the wizards were looking extremely confused, except a girl with brown bushy hair, who gasped as we said our names. I stood, drawing out the silence, and said dramatically,"Perseus Jackson, but call me Percy. I'm the son of the Greek god Poseidon, and the most powerful demigod of the century," to which Jason snorted. Then it was Leo's turn.

He grinned and jumped up from his seat. "Leo Valdez, Bad Boy Supreme, Sup-"

He was interrupted as Annabeth spoke. "No titles, Leo, we'll be here all day," and all of us demigods sighed in relief. Leo pouted and just said," Son of the Greek god Hephaestus, and the Boy On FIRE!" and with that, he burst into flame.

The wizards jumped up, pulling sticks out of their pockets. Leo was grinning crazily, as if he enjoyed scaring the crap out of people. Harry pointed his stick at Leo and yelled,"Aguamenti!"

A jet of water sprang out of the tip, and I felt my powers flux. Knowing it wouldn't do any good, I smirked and redirected the water so it hit Jason in the face. Harry was thoroughly shocked, his mouth hanging open, and Jason glared, doused in water. Leo put himself out, much to the relief of the wizards, but not in time to save himself from a bucket of water from the two twins. They reminded me of Connor and Travis.

"Aw, c'mon!"Leo cried, throwing his hands out and looking down at his sopping Camp Half-Blood shirt and suspenders.

"Never do that again, Leo! You gave us such a fright," said a woman, who I was pretty sure was the mother of all the ginger-haired people. Except for the man, who was probably her husband.

Leo didn't look repentive, though. He grinned, saying,"It's okay, though. It doesn't hurt me!"

The girl with bushy hair sighed. "You scared us. Not you scaring yourself," she remarked matter of factly. Annabeth looked on with a calculating look.

Leo didn't seemed fazed. "Then get used to it."

Hazel face-palmed. Piper sighed, then turned to the wizards. "All of us are half god, half mortal. Except for Rachel, she can see through the Mist, though, and she's the Oracle of Delphi. Questions?" she said, sounding like a teacher explaining a math problem.

The bushy haired girl spoke," How do we know you aren't lying? Prove it," she said challengingly. Piper smiled knowingly. "What's your name?"

"Hermione."

"Well, Hermione, we all have powers, like Percy can control water-" I made her water rise out of it's cup"- and Jason controls the wind." To prove her point, Jason blew a mini tornado around Hermione. "And you already saw Leo's power. Let's go around the table, starting with Thalia."

In the distance, thunder rumbled, and Thalia smiled. Suddenly, lightning flashed through the room, electrifying one of the twins, who had been giving her suggestive looks. His hair stood on end, but otherwise he was fine, though a bit shocked(haha, get it?). She bowed and I clapped very loudly. She laughed and sat down. Jason was next.

He smiled creepily, and wind started blowing around the room, though mostly in my face. None of it touched Piper, and Jason was sending her mushy-lovey-dovey looks. After my hair was thoroughly messed up, (I had finally gotten it to lie flat) the wind stopped, and Jason actually flew out of his chair. He circled the table once and sat down. All of the wizards were open-mouthed and staring at him. Piper stood.

"I'll need a volunteer for my power," she announced. "Don't worry, you'll be fine."

"I'll do it!" Harry's Ginger friend said, getting up. Piper smiled at him.

"Come over here,"she said, gesturing to the end of the table. He obeyed, moving around the mother and father.

"Go pretend to propose to a girl in the room," she said, using her charmspeak. Ginger nodded, his eyes glazed over. He turned to Hermione and climbed over the table to get to her. I started laughing, and Annabeth had a hand over her mouth. Leo was in hysterics, holding his stomach and hunching over.

When Ginger reached Hermione, she had a half horrified, half embarrassed look on her face. He got down on one knee, taking her hand, and said," Will you marry me?"

Leo slid to the floor under the table.

I followed him, as well as Rachel, Thalia, and Harry. I could hear all of our party laughing their demigod-ly butts off. Over the laughing I could hear Ginger going,"What is it? What happened?"No one answered, we were all too busy laughing.

After about three minutes, we had calmed down enough to sit up straight, so I got out from under the table and looked at Ginger. "Hey, what's your name? Cause I need to know or I'll just call you Harry's Ginger Friend."

His face was as red as his hair, but he answered," Ron Weasley."

I chuckled and Annabeth hit my arm lightly. "Weasley?"

"Ha ha, make fun of my name all you want, but I'll have you know, I helped fend off Voldemort on more than one occasion!" Harry gave him a dark look, and I wondered what happened before we had arrived.

"Okay, okay. Let's get on with the powers," said Mad Eye. His spinning eye was really creeping me out. Hazel stood.

"My power is controlling gems and precious metals. Here," she lifted her hands, and the plates and silverware floated over the table. She twisted her hand, and a plate twisted so it resembled a donut. She smashed her hand down, and the donut sunk into the ground. "Basically, I can control most things underground. Like tunnels."

She sat, and the plates lowered themselves back onto the table. I spread my hands and looked at my fellow demigods."See this. This is the no-violent introduction."

My friends nodded and Jason said,"Could have been a lot worse."

I looked at Frank and made pulling motions with my fingers, as if they were stuck in Chinese handcuffs. "Do the thing! The thing, Frank!" I stage-whispered.

He sighed and looked down at his hands. With a pop!, Frank the Human was gone, replaced by Frank the Iguana.

"Ah! An iguana!" Hermione yelped. I laughed, and Leo yelled," It's Frank the Iguana!"

The rest of the people who were on the Argo II when it happened laughed, doubled over. Frank turned back just in time for Leo to throw one of the famous Chinese handcuffs at him.

"Haha, very funny. Can we move on please?" he tried to look irritated, but only succeeded in looking constipated.

"Hey."

We all froze. I counted back along the table. Oh no, we had skipped Nico's turn. He kind of blended with the shadows. "Well, shit."
