Thank you to all of those who reviewed! I just want to let you know that it's my birthday on Saturday. I would know if you actually read the author's note if you greet me happy birthday. There is a little science in here because I love science, math, and history. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't think I have to type this anymore but anyway, I would only own Percy Jackson and Harry Potter if I suddenly become stupid (as in my IQ would be less than 70) and if my brother becomes very nice to me so I would NEVER own PJO and HP.

Chapter Eight— We Run From a God

Annabeth's POV

We walked towards the Big House. Mr. D wasn't in the Big House. 'Maybe he decided to take a walk' I thought. I heard someone snoring upstairs. 'Or maybe he's taking a nap.'

"Please sit down." Chiron said. Some of us sat down on the couch. The others sat down on the floor because there weren't any chairs in sight. Unfortunately, I was one of those who sat down on the floor.

"Neville, what brought you here?" asked Chiron.

"I was running away from the Death Eaters when… Hang on; I don't even know your names."

"Oh, I'm getting too old that I've forgotten to introduce myself. I am Chiron."

"I'm Percy."

"I'm Annabeth."

"I'm Grover."

"I am Tyson."

"Nico."

"Thalia."

"And you already know us." said Hermione.

"Okay. I was running away from the Death Eaters when I came across this place. I was attracted here. I don't know why but I felt like I had to go here so I wandered around for a while then I got lost in the forest and found you." He explained.

"What happened to the Death Eater?" asked Hermione. "He might have followed you"

"He saw a dragon and apparated away."

"Dragon? Did that dragon happen to be standing near a pine tree?" I asked.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?" I was shocked. The Death Eater was about a kilometer away from us—from Harry and his friends who just happens to be the people that they're looking for.

"That means he got close to camp. You led him here. He might think that you went here!" Thalia shouted.

"Calm down Thalia! The mist, remember. He won't be able to see. And he's mo—" I just thought about something that I should've thought about earlier. "Wait. You guys are mortal, right? How did you get past the camp's borders?" Everyone got struck with realization.

"If you can get past the camp's borders, it's either your kind can get through or you guys are demigods." said Grover.

"We know our parents so we couldn't possibly be demigods." said Ron.

"Isn't Rachel mortal? How did she cross the borders?" asked Nico.

"Er, Nico? SHE'S THE ORACLE! Of course she can go here! And Annabeth calls me a seaweed brain!" yelled Percy.

"BE QUIET! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" yelled Mr.D.

"Please avoid shouting. You do not want to anger a sleepy god specially Mr.D because as you already know, he doesn't particularly like demigods." whispered Chiron.

"Sorry." Percy said.

"Anyway, I was talking about before she became the oracle." said Nico.

"Oh, right. That makes more sense if you would ask that." Percy's face was red from embarrassment. "I think it's because she was riding Blackjack."

"Blackjack is your Pegasus, right?" asked Hermione

"Yeah. Why?" She seemed deep in thought. I was trying to think of something that could be related to that.

Harry's POV

Hermione and Annabeth were thinking very hard. You could almost see the gears turning. Suddenly, Hermione said, "I think I've got it!"

Annabeth stopped thinking. I mean she was still thinking but not much. I mean… ugh never mind.

"I'm not entirely sure. It's just a theory." Hermione said.

"What is it?" I asked. She looked at me.

"Our wands."

"You mean the wooden sticks you carry around?" said Thalia.

"Stick? I have a stick! A gift from Zeus. It's the best stick he can find! I use it to beat up monsters so they will go BOOM!" said Tyson happily. He didn't say it too loudly, fortunately. I don't want to be blasted by a god.

"Tyson, I'm glad that you got your, er, stick. I think Thalia was talking about a different kind of stick." said Percy. I pulled out my wand.

"What about our wands?" I asked.

"Yeah, what's so special about a wooden stick?" asked Nico.

"It's not the wood I'm talking about. I'm talking about the core." Then it hit me.

Hermione's POV

"What about the core?" asked Annabeth. She looked so interested.

"Our wands have something inside that is responsible for the production of magic. Just think of it as a cell. The wood is the cell membrane. It protects the inside. The core is the cytoplasm. It is very important because it is where the cell organelles are imbedded in. We—witches and wizards—are the nuclei. We are the brains of the wands." I was going to continue but everyone except Chiron, Annabeth, and Tyson (though he wasn't paying any attention) have fallen asleep. Annabeth didn't seem to notice because she was motioning for me to go on.

"Hold on." I slapped Ron very lightly.

"OW!" By lightly, I meant very hard.

"Don't sleep while I'm explaining!" I yelled.

"Ssshhhhh!" Chiron glanced worriedly at the ceiling. "Please refrain from shouting. Just whisper."

"Why did you slap me?" he asked quietly.

"Because you were sleeping in the middle of my explanation." I whispered.

"Why didn't you slap the others?"

"Because you're my boyfriend and you're the first person I tried to wake up." I saw Annabeth shaking Percy lightly. When he wouldn't wake up, Annabeth whispered something in his ear.

"AH! Not Clarisse! I don't want to marry Clarisse!" he screamed. Everyone woke up and looked confused for a while, then remembering what Percy said, we all laughed. I was laughing so hard that I was tearing up.

"THAT'S IT! I CAN'T SLEEP WITH ALL OF YOUR SHOUTING! WHEN I GET DOWN THERE YOU ARE GOING TO BE TURNED INTO DOLPHINS AND FED TO THE DRAGON!" that made us stop laughing. Chiron gave us a look that clearly said 'Get out of here unless you want to die.' We didn't need to be told twice. We hurried out of the Big House. Chiron followed us. I guess Mr.D might punish him for letting us ruin his sleep.

"Pack now and leave as fast as you can. Dionysus won't hesitate to kill you now. I will try to keep him calm. I'll also try to keep him here. Good luck on your quest. Neville you should come with them too." I had already packed our things earlier today, which was a relief because I do not want to be in the Big House at this moment.

"Hermione, did you pack—" asked Ron

"Yes, I packed all of our things. What about you guys?"

"I packed too." said Annabeth.

"Well I haven't." said Percy. Annabeth looked annoyed with him.

"Neither have I." said Nico. Boys… they don't prepare until the last minute.

"I packed!" said Tyson. Technically he's a Cyclops so he doesn't count as a boy.

"I didn't actually unpack." said Thalia.

"My backpack is with me." said Neville. He just got here so he doesn't count. But when we left earlier this week, he packed just an hour before we left Hogwarts.

"I'll get my things from Juniper's tree." said Grover. He doesn't count as a boy either because he's a satyr. How come the beasts are the ones that seem more responsible?

"Let's split up and help Nico and Percy pack. Annabeth, Harry, Tyson, and I will help Percy. Thalia, Ron, Neville and Grover, help Nico." I said.

We split up and my group went to the Poseidon cabin while the others went to the Hades cabin. We went in and Percy grabbed a backpack. He packed 3 tee-shirts, 2 pairs of pants, a pair of socks, and 3 pairs of underwear. I saw Annabeth blush when she saw his underwear.

"Okay, I'm all packed. Let's go!" Tyson grabbed his bag and we were about to go to the Hades cabin but Nico, Neville, and Ron went inside Percy's cabin before we went out.

"Thalia and Grover went to get their stuff." Nico said.

"Okay, I'm going to get my things, too." Annabeth ran to her cabin. After a minute, we went to Thalia's tree. Argus wasn't supposed to drive us until tomorrow so Percy called Blackjack.

Percy's POV

I called Blackjack and told him to bring a couple of his friends. Soon Blackjack and his friends flew toward us.

Yo, boss! I brought my friends. You already know Guido and Porkpie. Blackjack said in my mind.

How ya doin? they said.

This is Marie, Steve, Fabio, Rainbow II—

"Rainbow II?" I asked. Neville looked at me like I was crazy. "I can talk to horses." I said to him.

Rainbow I is the hippocampus. Rainbow II is his half-brother. Anyway,

"Blackjack, we're sort of in a hurry. Could you introduce them later when there isn't a god trying to kill us?" I said.

Is the wine dude the god trying to kill you?

"WHO CALLED ME WINE DUDE? WHOEVER OR WHATEVER SAID THAT BETTER RUN FOR YOUR LIFE UNLESS YOU WANT TO END UP IN A BOTTLE OF MERLOT!" yelled Dionysus.

Come on, boss! Let's get out of here before wine dude turns us into wine.

I climbed on to Blackjack. I thought the wizards were going to need help getting on but they didn't have a problem. It was like they rode flying horses before.

"Fly us to Las Vegas." I said to all the pegasi.

Alright, boss. Blackjack said.

Yes, my lord. All the other pegasi said.

You guys don't have to call me 'my lord'. I said in my mind.

Okay, uh... The pegasus named Marie tried to think of what name to call me.

Call me Percy.

Okay...P-Percy.

Did you like it? I hope I didn't bore you to death with the parts of the cell. Can you suggest names for the pegasi? It has to be creative.
