Here's Chapter Three! Hope your ready for it!
Disclamer: I do not own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter... yet *Grins Evily*
Percy
"Percy, Annabeth," Chiron, our instructor, came up to us. "Could I speak with you a moment?"
"Of course," Annabeth answered following him up to the Big House, I looked longingly at the tables before quickly following.
"Ow!" I hissed at Annabeth after she smacked me on the head.
"Don't ogle the food then!" she hissed back.
We arrived on the porch at the Big House and Chiron turned to look at us and held out two letters. "These are for you and I would be pleased to know what you decide." With that he handed us the letters and left us to ourselves and went back to the dining pavilion.
The address on my letter read:
Mr. P. Jackson
The corner in the Hermes Cabin
Half-Blood Hill
Long Island, New York
How did they know where I was?
The letter then read:

I looked over the letter sure that it was a joke, but Annabeth's was the same as mine, and if the Greek gods are real why not magic.
"What should we do?" Annabeth asked.
"I'm going to go, I can spend the summer here, and I guess I'm magical or something, and that would help with the monsters and stuff. And you have to admit that it sounds pretty cool." I replied.
Annabeth reread her letter before replying, "I agree, I'm going to go to."
With that we ran down to the dining pavilion to tell Chiron our decision.
"We're going," We said as soon as we found him.
He nodded saying, "Friday morning you will leave on peagisus to London, you should make it there by that night and then you'll be on your way to Hogwarts, you will be a week late, but that cannot be helped. Now go enjoy the rest of your time here."
We nodded and walked away. "Oh, Chiron," I turned back around to look at him.
"Yes?"
"Would you mind telling my mom for me so she'll know where I am?"
"Of course."
"Thanks," I walked away to find Annabeth at the campfire before bed. I sat down next to her and she looked at me and smiled. In a little less than a week we'd be on a new adventure that we knew almost nothing about, but we were ready.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me what I can do better and what you like!
