A quiet place. Enter shy-twinee.
shy-twinee: Welcome back, everybody! Thank-you to everyone for viewing and a special thank-you to everyone who reviewed. After reading over my character list, I started to think the story would be too strange but for now I'm going to leave it as it is. And now, please welcome Sally-Anne to do the disclaimer!
Enter Sally-Anne.
Sally-Anne: Okay, shy-twinee does not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Harry Potter. Please enjoy!
Exeunt.

Late August, before HP 5th year
Sally-Anne Perks made her way through Ottery St. Catchpole. The small town was quiet and the feel of the afternoon sun was so pleasant that Sally wondered why there were no muggle children playing outside. She exited the muggle area and crossed over into the area where a few wizarding families lived. Looking over toward the hill which concealed the Burrow, Sally chuckled as she continued on towards the Lovegood residence. She guessed that the Golden Trio, like most of the wizarding world, were curious as to the whereabouts of Narcissa and Draco Malfoy. 'If only the Trio knew how close those two really are. They're practically right under their noses,' she thought.
Soon, Sally arrived at Luna's house. Stepping on the overly decorated 'WELCOME' mat, she wiped some mud off of her feet. Once done, the tracks instantly vanished and a soft peach scent filled the air. Luna always said that this prevented the tiny taint-drop worms (that live in mud) from invading the house. Sally rang the doorbell and waited.
Footsteps were heard three minutes later, and Luna Lovegood opened the door for her friend and invited her in. The pair grabbed some snacks and went upstairs to Luna's room while they chatted about random things, like the weather and Sally's new toad. Once inside the room, Draco Malfoy greeted Sally-Anne.
"Hey, 'Aunt' Sally," said Draco. Sally rolled her eyes.
"Hello, Draco." Sally sat on Luna's bed."How's your arm doing?" She gestured towards Draco's injured left arm that was bandaged.
"Itchy but otherwise alright," he replied. He started to think back on how he obtained the injury during the war against Gaia. A large boulder was about to crush his mother but he intervened. "Luckily, I got away with a seriously damaged arm. Without Susan's help the Apollo medics would have had to chop off my arm!"
The war had just ended a few weeks ago. Everything went according to Juno's plan; despite all of their problems and differences, the Greeks and Romans successfully teamed up with each other and the gods to win. Both Luna and Sally-Anne had injuries, but they were quickly healed with the help of nectar and ambrosia…and Susan Bones.
A sudden noise caused the trio to switch into their 'fight mode.' Luna was the fastest. Seemingly out of nowhere, she whipped up an ethereal silver dagger and threw it in the direction of the disturbance. The dagger ended up wedged into the wall.
"Nice shot, Luna!" a voice rang out. "If I were there in the flesh, you would have killed me!"
The voice belonged to Luna's father, Xenophilius Lovegood. Only a misty image of him was present, an Iris Message (IM). He was wearing an all black outfit consisting of a long sleeved shirt, slacks, long gloves, riding boots and a long hooded cloak.
"I just wanted to let you know that Aunt Cissa and I will be a little late, so we won't be back until supper," said Mr. Lovegood. "Our father has us working overtime."
"Draco, are you resting?" said Narcissa Malfoy, pushing Mr. Lovegood out of sight. She was similarly dressed as her brother. "Are you taking adequate amounts of ambrosia and nectar? Please remember: only small amounts."
"Yes, Mother. Okay," Draco replied. The pale skin of his cheeks were tinted pink. He was embarrassed of being 'babied' in front of the girls, especially Sally-Anne.
"Well, we must be off," Mr. Lovegood returned. He and Mrs. Malfoy waved good-bye and disconnected the IM.
Sally rolled off of Luna's bed and stood up. She asked, "If I help prepare the food, can I stay and eat it?"
"Of course you can!" Luna said dreamily. The three journeyed downstairs and began to search the kitchen for something to cook. They decided on spaghetti. As they gathered ingredients, an intruder hopped onto the counter-top.
"Blaze!" Sally cried. Blaze was Sally's natterjack toad. He was given to her as a 'welcome home' present from her father. Draco scoped the toad up and handed him to Sally. "Back in your carrier you go. You can have some food to keep your company."
They worked in silence after that. Sally-Anne ate her portion of the meal while Draco and Luna settled to have snacks. The sun was setting outside.
"It's getting late. I should get home." Sally picked up her belongings. Her friends walked her outside and bid her farewell.
After the sun officially set, night fell and Sally-Anne Perks walked into the shadows and vanished into thin air.
