IMPORTANT; PLEASE READ

You'll notice in this chapter I change the time of these events, in the beginning, Harry, Ron, And Hermione had just apperated from the wedding and hadn't destroyed the locket Horcrux yet. In this chapter I change the time to after they have destroyed the locket, but haven't yet been taken to the Malfoy Manor. Sorry everyone, but I just couldn't find a way to have Percy, Annabeth, and Nico put into the Ministry of Magic part of the story. Sorry again.

The next morning, after Percy was completely packed with a change of clothes, nectar, ambrosia, and riptide in his pocket, he went over to the Athena cabin. A grumpy looking boy answered the door. "Hi Percy" he said dully. Behind him, Annabeth appeared, looking much more awake in comparison.

"Ready to go, Seaweed Brain?" she asked.

"Yup, can I talk to you…privately" I asked.

"Sure," she said, coming out of the cabin. We walked down the courtyard between the cabins, out hands intertwined.

"So," I said, breaking the silence, "this is it. We're about to go on another quest. With wizards"

"I don't know how I feel about this," she said. "Do you think they can be trusted?" she asked.

"Yes." I said without hesitation. I couldn't help but feel more trusting of Harry ever since my ever since my dream last night. Annabeth eyed me suspiciously, as if she knew I was holding something back, but she didn't push the matter.

"Do you think they have a chance of finding out who we are? Who our parents are?" I asked.

"I don't know Percy, they'll definitely figure out we have some connection with the gods, but figuring out the whole story without a couple of hints would be pretty hard." She said, "Eventually we'll have to tell them, we can't go on this quest without them figuring it out one way or another." She was right, but the thought of a mortal knowing that the gods existed still bothered him. Rachel was different, she could see through the mist, and became the oracle.

"Who do you think this 'Harry Potter' guy is" asked Annabeth, "Remember when they were in the woods, they said something about people being tortured for his whereabouts."

"He says he's been trying to bring down this Tom Riddle guy, and it seems like he's gotten pretty far, maybe Tom's followers want to capture and kill him, just to get rid of a threat." I said

Annabeth nodded slowly, "I have a feeling there's more to it than that…" she said, trailing off, "they'll probably explain when we go on the quest, they already know much more about this 'dark wizard'."

We met Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the exit of the camp. They looked anxious to leave.

"Not bringing anything?" I asked, seeing they had nothing but their wands.

"No, we've packed." Said Hermione, holding up a small beaded bag. I hadn't noticed it before, but it still didn't look like it could carry much.

"So are we leaving already?" asked Harry impatiently

"One problem," said Annabeth "we didn't ask Nico where he was, he could be anywhere!"

I mentally slapped myself in the face, how could we have forgotten something as simple as that. "Well," I said in a resigned voice, "We can look forward to a lot of walking then."

At this, Hermione laughed out loud "Walk?" she said between chuckles, "I think not, we'll just apperate there." She said.

"Apperate?" said Annabeth, looking confused.

"Yes, it's how we got into this camp. It's when you…well; you'll see" said Hermione "everyone grab onto me." Harry and Ron took Hermione's arms while I reluctantly held Harry's elbow and Annabeth took my hand.

"You might want to hold your breath.' Said Hermione, and then, everything was black; he was being pressed very hard from all directions, as if he was being squeezed through a rubber tube. He couldn't see, his eyeballs were being pressed further into his head, his ears were being forced into his skull and then-

Percy collapsed onto his hands and knees, taking in deep, grateful breaths of cool, morning air. I definitely preferred shadow travel. Harry helped me onto my feet.

"It takes a little getting used to." He said "I'm just glad you didn't get splinched"

"Splinched?" I asked.

"Um, it's something that can happen in apperation" he said, "you'll know if it happens."

I didn't like the sound of that, but I didn't push the matter. Instead, I turned my attention to our surroundings. We had gone from the sunny hillside of camp half-blood to a foggy cliff edge in a matter of seconds! Below them was a one hundred foot drop to an ocean.

"This is where Nico was!" Annabeth said in amazement, "except, he was on that ledge" she pointed to a narrow ledge on the cliffside that lead to a cave.

"Is he still down there?" asked Hermione, peering over the edge.

"No" said a voice behind us. I turned around to see Nico Di Angelo standing behind us.

"Nico!" said Annabeth, rushing over to him.

"You got here a lot quicker than I thought you would." He said.

"That's because of our friends here," I said, 'This is Harry, Ron and Hermione."

Nico straightened up a bit and said "Nico, son of Ha-"

"NICO!" I said loudly, cutting him off before he could say who his father was "These people aren't actually half-bloods." I said attempting a casual tone.

"Let's sit down." Said Hermione in a friendly tone. "We have a lot of explaining to do."

Three hours later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione's voices were all sore from explaining what could have taken up seven thick books.

''So let me get this straight" said Annabeth, "Tom Riddle, who later changed his name-"

"Don't say the name, its taboo." Reminded Ron.

'Yes, yes, I know," said Annabeth, "So, he actually put a bit of his soul in side and object."

"Seven bits of his soul." Said Harry."We already destroyed the first three bits-"

"But that's not scientifically possible!" said Annabeth, "You can't take a bit of your soul out of yourself!"

Hermione smiled, "If you go by that logic, Annabeth, we aren't scientifically possible either. You can't levitate something unless it's somehow supported, and yet…" she pointed her wand at a rock, which rose gently into the air, then fell back down.

"Wow" said Nico softly, glancing from Hermione's wand to the rock to her wand.

"I have to say, Nico, I'm impressed." Said Harry, "How did you know you-know-who left a Horcrux in that cave?"

"I could just sense a soul in there." He said. "I assumed Volde- I mean, You-Know-Who was in there, I never would have imagined just a piece of his soul was in there."

"It's not there anymore" said Harry, "We found it and destroyed it."

"I know, I know." Said Nico.

After a moment of silence, I finally said "So let's get on with this quest! Find all the Horcruxes and destroy them."

"It's not that simple, mate." Said Ron, "We don't know what or where the other horcruxes are. And we have to keep on the move every night because the ministry has a price on Harry's head."

"Then it looks like we just added to your troubles." I said apologetically, "We attract monsters."

"Attract monsters?! Greek monsters no doubt!" cried Hermione, staring at them.

How had she known it would be Greek monsters? I had a feeling I knew what question the wizards were going to ask next.

"Okay guys," said Harry in a business-like tone, "It's your turn to explain. Who are you people, some sort of Greek god Worshiper/Fighter/ Magic Abilities people?"

I raised my eyebrows, "What gave away the Greek part?"

"Your entire camp." Said Hermione shortly.

"And the magic abilities?'

"Hecates cabin, again, at your camp."

I sighed , "Okay guys, what would you say I told you that all the Greek gods, Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, they were all real.

Ron put his face in his hands "A few days ago I would have said that's rubbish, but now, I doubt anything could surprise me."

"That's good," I said "because there are a lot more surprises coming your way."

A while later, after they had explained the Greek gods having kids, and those kids being demigods, Ron groaned loudly.

"You're right, you guys are just extra baggage" he said.

"No, we aren't!"said Nico suddenly, "I tracked down the locket horcrux, didn't I? I can sense where souls are, and where the other horcruxes are!"

"And Annabeth is really good at solving mysteries; she's the daughter of Athena!" I said

"Anything you're useful at, camper-boy?" asked Ron, who had taken a liking to the nickname 'Camper boy'

"I'm a good at sword fighting, I took a dip in the river Styx, so I'm invincible-"

"Like Achilles?!" asked Hermione.

"Kind of, and I'm the son of Poseidon.' I said, thrusting my hand out over the cliff's edge, and with a tugging sensation in my gut, a huge geyser exploded out of nowhere then turned to nothing. Ron wolf-whistled

"I also know a bit about prophecies ruining your life." I said quietly to Harry. Harry nodded and turned to Nico.

"Can you tell where the next horcrux is?" he asked

Nico closed his eyes and concentrated, "It's harder to locate than this one," he said 'It's in a place full of wizards, though."

"Hogwarts!" said Harry excitedly.

"There are a lot of other places full of wizards Harry." Said Hermione, "And if you show your face at Hogwarts you'll be taken to Azkaban!"

"It's heavily guarded" continued Nico, " There's some sort of monster nearby, it's not a Greek monster, so I can't tell what it is." He opened his eyes, "It's very far east of here, if we get any closer I might be able to pin point where it is."

"We can apperate a bit farther, and then I suggest we settle down for the night. "Said Hermione.

"No way," I said "I'll think I'll go with shadow traveling." I had had enough apperation to last me a lifetime.

"Suit yourself" she said, "Annabeth, what about you?"

"I'm going with seaweed brain." Said Annabeth.

"Allright, see you all one hundred miles east of here." Said Harry.
