I'm not gonna give you some generic excuse like 'my computer was taken from me' or 'I have a lot of homework'. Sadly that is the case but it's not why I haven't updated. I'm just really, really lazy.
Keep your rage to yourselves please.
I just reached 25 000 veiws! HOW CRAZY IS THAT?! I definitely wasn't even expecting people to like my story so it means a lot to me that you guys are reading it!
On that note, a couple of weeks ago this story got 100 reviews! I'd just like to give a shout-out to OhMyGodsRickRiordanStawp (nice username) for being my 100th reviewer! Last thing,
I'm thinking of doing some fanfics that are only Percy Jackson related (not crossovers). Thoughts? I'm also going to leave it open to requests so give me something to write about and if I like it I'll dedicate it to you! (It can be a proper length story or a crossover).
Chapter 12:
Leo POV
We were patiently waiting in the Gryffindor common room, about to head to class when a very angry daughter of Athena came storming down the stairs from the girls' dorms.
'Did you crease my book?' Annabeth said while glaring at her boyfriend.
When she received no reply she brang out her intimidating voice and all but shouted, 'Did. You. Crease. It?'
'Maybe,' he replied, his voice fading as he got a proper look at her face. I don't blame the poor guy, she looked terrifying.
'Did you or did you not?' she asked him once again, tapping her foot impatiently.
'Yes I did,' Percy whispered looking scared, avoiding eye contact.
And this was the guy that saved the world.
Hades forbid it ever happen again, we'd all be doomed.
'You know how I feel about these things,' Annabeth ranted, waving her hands in the air. 'You know that there a rules. No bent pages, no ripped pages, no folded pages, no bent edges, no dropping it and if I ever find food in cresses I will lose it.'
'Yes ma'am, I mean no ma'am,' Percy said, stumbling over his reply.
Annabeth turned to us and gave us a look that clearly said, 'Why the Hades do I like him, he's dumb as a doorknob.'
'I am not dumb as a doorknob!' Percy cried indigently.
'How could you possibly knob what she was thinking?' Jason said, fascinated.
'We've been best friends since we were twelve and fought many battles together. I know how to read her face,' Percy replied, still avoiding eye contact with his girlfriend.
Annabeth face softened slightly, but she quickly hid it and said, 'you still aren't' forgiven. You've committed a sin that can never be forgiven.'
'It's a boo- yes Annabeth,' he said, looking shamefaced.
'C'mon, we'll be late for class,' Thalia said as she pushed the arguing couple towards the door. The walk was silent until I heard Percy ask the blonde child of wisdom possibly the stupidest question of the year.
'So… do caterpillars know they're going to be butterflies or do they just build the cocoon and be like what the Hades am I doing?'
Hermione POV
'Ok, so what we're going to do is-'
'Can we go eat. I think my stomach is starting to eat itself,' Ron complained, cutting me off.
'No! Focus Ronald!' I scolded him, then collecting my thoughts before starting again. 'After the first class, we're going to corner Percy in the abandoned bathrooms (A/N: I can't remember what they're called, calm down) and put a binding spell on him so he can't run, ok?'
'This seems a bit extreme, can't we just ask him at dinner?' Harry said, confused.
'Do you honestly think he's just going to tell us? He's obviously going out of his way to keep it a secret,' I said, not believing their idiocy.
This was a boy who saved the world.
'Ok fine,' they said absentmindedly, obviously not fully comprehending what I was saying.
'Understood!' I said louder, snapping my fingers in front of their faces.
'Yes Hermione,' they said in unison.
These boys will be the end of me.
Percy
'And that is how you make a liquid luck potion…..'
As soon as the potions teacher finished their sentence, I gathered my already stacked books and bolted from the room, closely followed by the other demigods.
Potions class was definitely no fun when you couldn't even read the instructions. Stupid dyslexia.
I had just slowed down to turn and look for Annabeth when I felt a hand grab the side of my cloak and yank me sideways into a room, the door slamming behind me.
On instinct I reached for riptide in the folds of my uniform and held it in front of me, ready to take the cap off at a seconds notice. I slowly scanned the dark room for my kidnapper/attacker and found three figures silhouetted at the back of the room.
'I think it's time I go now,' I said before running to the door. I was too late. A spell shot past me, hitting the door and when I reached for the door handle, it wouldn't turn.
'We only want to know who you are,' a familiar voice spoke. 'Tell us and we'll let you go.'
'My name is Percy Jac-'
'Let me rephrase that,' a feminine voice interrupted. 'WHAT are you?'
'Last time I checked I was a guy but stranger things have happened,' I replied coolly. I already knew these people weren't much of a threat and I could escape easily, but I was curious as to why they wanted me.
'Ugh,' the girl groaned, obviously frustrated at my lack of compliance. 'Are you an ancient Roman god?' she continued.
I had been accused of being many things and even mistaken for my father a couple of times, but being called a Roman god by the wizards was new to me.
'You think I'm Neptune, don't you?' I said, bringing a hand up to my mouth to hide the twitching of my lips.
'Well you are aren't you?' said the original boy that dragged me into the room.
'Nice try, but no,' I said before pulling the cap of riptide. I was sick of not being able to identify my captors. The glow of the sword softly illuminated the room, casting a golden light on the three's faces.
Surprise surprise, it was the golden trio.
'Now if you don't mind, I'm a tad late for class,' I said before pulling out my wand and undoing the spell holding me in the room. When I stepped outside, I capped riptide, straightened my robe, collected the books I dropped when I was yanked into the room and headed for class.
Stupid wizards.
So there's the chapter. I know it's bad but I'm sort of drowning in homework right now (aren't we all). I just had a thought….NEW COMPETITION GAME THING!
I was wondering how old you guys think I am so have a guess and whoever guesses right will get a shout out on the next chapter!
Have a nice day,
Sam :)
