Good news and bad news...
The good news: I just got the results from my GCSE exams, I got a B grade for my maths (which is really good for me) and another B in my Drama (which is bad for me, but I am resitting in the autumn).
The bad news: In a few weeks, I restart school and I will have to do GCSEs in more maths, half of my English and Science, and French. So according to my mom, writing FanFic will have to take a back seat and I will need to focus on revising. Sorry! :,(
I NEED MORE ENTRIES FOR THE SUMMER AWARD!

Leon's POV
The house was beautiful.
It was fairly big, with an excellent view of the beach and the glittering emerald see. The back yard stretched all the way back to the cliffs, with a little stairway carved into the rocks, so there was a direct route from the house to the beach. The house itself was an architectural masterpiece. Grand and artistic, there were Greece-inspired columns beside the front door, over which hung some bronze hippocampi, swimming in the air. The roof was painted blue like a Greek villa. I saw sleek sliding windows and beautiful sculptural additions to the walls. There was a little stable to the side of the house, which is where Percy landed his black Pegasus.
"Do I know you?" Lilly asked him, as he took us down from the horse. "I recognise your face."
"Maybe," Percy shrugged, "I'm on some of the posters behind Chiron's desk. And on that mural on the big house celebrating the seven heroes who stopped Gaia from destroying the world."
"Percy Jackson," I nodded.
"I live here now, with my wife."
"Your wife?" asked Lilly.
"There you are, Seaweed Brain!" a voice called. We turned to see a young woman standing by the stable entrance. She had blonde hair, curled back into a ponytail. Her eyes were shimmering grey and she had a witty smile on her face that reminded me of Veronica.
"Allow me to introduce Annabeth," Percy grinned.
He kissed her lightly on the cheek.
"I'm Leon, and this is Lilly," I introduced myself and my girlfriend.
"Pleased to meet you."
Percy turned to Annabeth and asked "Where's Ellie?"
"Here!" giggled a tiny voice. Suddenly, a girl appeared next to Annabeth out of nowhere. Her hair was the same black colour as Percy's, only curly like Annabeth. Her large eyes were stormy grey and in one hand she held a Yankees Cap, like she had just taken it off.
"Haha, I was playing with the Hide-and-Seek hat, seeing how long it took you to realise I was gone!"
She stuck her tongue out at Percy, who scooped her up in his arms.
"This cap was mine when I was a girl," explained Annabeth, "but Ellie likes it now."
"I wanna play with Blackjack!" she suddenly whined, pointing at the stables. "Or Mrs O'Leary!"
Percy looked at the little girl. "Not now, Ellie, we have guests!" he pointed to Lilly and I.
"Is this your daughter?" asked Lilly.
"Yep, this is Eleanor Thalia Sally Jackson. She's six. We have a baby boy too."
Percy looked at Ellie, "Ellie, where's your brother?"
"Asleep, I was just with him" Annabeth stepped in, then turned to us, "his name is Harry Luke Frederick Jackson."
"Let's play with the Hide-and-Seek hat again!" yelled Ellie all of a sudden.
"Ellie, we have demigod guests!" Annabeth told her daughter, "please, not the cap now. Remember when you played with it when you were four and we thought you had gone missing? We were looking for two days!"
"I was behind you the whole time!" giggled Ellie.
"At least call it something cooler than the Hide-and-Seek hat," Percy sighed, "Like, I dunno, the cap of concealment... the headwear of secrecy... the helmet of shadows..."
Suddenly, Lilly gasped beside me. "OH MY GODS! The helm of shadows!"
"What?" I gaped.
"That's it!" Lilly squealed. "We came to get the Helm of Shadows! It's not Hades' at all! It's this! It's Annabeth's invisibility cap!"
Suddenly, a silver arrows whizzed towards us and landed – thunk – in the wall, a few millimetres from Lilly's head.
"Drop the hat, sunshine," snarled an all-too-familiar voice.
I recognised it in an instant.
Magenta...
