Third Person:

Hermione woke that morning to shouts of "Grover!" and "G-Man!" She slipped out of bed, and saw Harry was still asleep. Annabeth and Percy were up though, with another boy she didn't recognise. The boy was average height, and had curly brown hair, and he was wearing a camp halfblood T-shirt, and a pair of furry trousers. Odd, Hermione thought. Why is he wearing furry trousers? She slowly walked over and tapped Annabeth on the back. "Who is that?" She asked.

"That's Grover, Percy and my other friend. Come and meet him," Annabeth replied.

Hermione nodded and slowly walked over to Grover. "Hi," She said.

"Um, Hi. Are you Hermione?" Grover asked a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes. I'm Hermione."

"Hi."

Hermione nodded and turned to Annabeth. "Why on earth is he wearing those furry trousers?" She asked.

"They aren't trousers!" Grover said from behind Hermione.

"What are they then…?"

"My legs!" Grover exclaimed. Hermione looked at him, with a what-on-earth-does-that-mean look on her face. "My legs!" Grover said, pointing at his legs.

"What about your legs?" Hermione asked.

"I'm not wearing furry trousers! They're my legs – I'm a satyr!" Grover said, impatiently.

"Then why don't you have horns and hoofs?" Hermione asked.

"I do!" Grover took the hat he was wearing off his head, revealing small, stubby horns. He then took his trainers off, to reveal goat hooves.

"Right, sorry," Hermione said, suddenly feeling stupid. "I'm going to wake Harry up." She turned and walked towards Harry's bed.

"Harry, wake up," Hermione said, shaking him awake.

"What…?" Harry mumbled.

"Harry, get up! We only have four more days of this quest left! We need to get going!" Hermione said impatiently.

Harry slowly rolled over slowly and picked himself up. He picked his glasses up and his clothes. Hermione left him to go and get dressed. She was sad about Ron. She really hoped he was okay, and she hadn't slept much in the night, because she was worrying about him. Hermione stared at the blue sky. It was a nice day, so they'd probably better get going. She wondered if Grover was coming, she would ask Annabeth that later. She stared at her feet. She missed Ron so much. Harry emerged from the tent, rubbing his eyes.

"Come on, Harry," Hermione said, "We need to have breakfast." Harry slowly nodded and followed Hermione to where Percy, Annabeth and Grover were.

"Who's that?" Harry asked Hermione.

"That's Grover, Percy and Annabeth's friend," Hermione replied. "And before you ask why he's wearing furry trousers, they aren't trousers, he's a satyr."

"Kay," Harry said quietly. "Hi," He said to Grover.

"Hey! Percy and Annabeth were telling about you," Grover said. "It's Harry, right?"

"Yeah," Harry said.

Annabeth and Percy turned to face the three of them. "We made breakfast," Annabeth said. Grover's face lit up.

"Food!" He exclaimed happily, rushing over to the food.

"He's a lot like Ron," Hermione whispered to Harry. Harry nodded in agreement.

That made Hermione a bit happier. Since Grover's personality was a lot like Ron's, it made her miss him less. She conjured up some plates for them to eat off. Percy spooned the food on to her plate. "What the Hades is it?" She asked, staring at the gloop on her plate.

"Um, some grass," Percy said.

"Ugh!" Hermione said. "I'll get something nicer than that." She pulled her wand out of her pocket. "Accio, Bread!"

Harry gave her a puzzled look. "How do you know where it is?"

"Easy. We passed a bakery yesterday evening, when we were looking for a campsite. I remembered where it was," Hermione said. Suddenly a large, fresh looking loaf of bread flew into her hand. "See."

They ate the bread hungrily (Grover ate most of it.) Once they'd all eaten, they decided to head off. Hermione packed up her clothes and sleeping bag, and she found the clue. It still didn't make any sense to her. She pocked it and headed off, running to catch up with the rest.

"Annabeth?" She asked.

"Yeah?"

"Is Grover coming on the quest?"

"Yeah, he is," Annabeth replied.

"Kay."

They walked out the forest. Luckily, no monsters sprung up on them, this time.

By the time it was tea time, they'd got quite far. All their legs ached badly. They were walking along a small footpath along the edge of a field. Suddenly, they saw something, a dark figure lurking in the shadows. It stepped out, and they saw who it was. Annabeth's face went white.

"Annabeth, what is it?" Hermione asked.

"Mormo… Lamia's sister." Annabeth looked scared. Hermione readied her bow, Percy and Harry readied their swords and Annabeth her knife. Grover just looked scared and just stood there. Mormo ran for us, her fangs bared. Percy swung his sword, missing. Harry swung, and almost hit her, but she lunged at him, fangs about to bite into his neck.

"Help me!" He said weakly.

Hermione, on instinct shouted out, "Hey! Mormo!"

Mormo turned to Hermione, ready to lunge at her. She tried to duck out of the way, but failed. Mormo was now about to bite into Hermione's neck, when suddenly, she jumped up. "Give me your prize," Mormo hissed. "And you will be free."

"No!" Percy shouted, he didn't know what the prize was, but he didn't want anything getting taken.

"You dare question me?!" Mormo hissed, lunging at Percy.

Percy swung his sword. It hit Mormo in the arm. Black blood started gushing out, and Mormo was weakened.

Hermione saw her chance. She fired at Mormo, killing her. She crumbled to dust, leaving a small heap on the grass.

Hermione walked over to the pile of dust, and retrieved her arrow, wiping it on the grass and putting it back in her quiver.

"Does Lamia have any other blood sucking sisters?" Harry asked.

And to his surprise, Annabeth nodded. "Yes, one other sister, Empusa."

"Let's hope she doesn't turn up soon then," Harry said.

Grover nodded. "Yeah, I really DON'T want to be eaten any time soon."

The five of them headed off, hoping that they wouldn't meet Empusa…

A/N Good chapter? PLEASE PLEASE review and favourite and follow this. I'm glad I put Grover in it, because it needed him, I don't why. I'm finding it hard without Ron in it too. I kinda miss him.
