Percy Pov

How could I have been so stupid? I couldn't go walking through the house shirtless. Not around these people, they didn't need to know who I was before I knew I could trust them. Luckily they had all been stunned by my body not to notice all the scars. Those would be hard to explain.

My friends and I ran a little way out from the Weasley's house. I wanted to talk to them a little and find out what we're doing.

"Percy, stop," Piper called out from the back of the group.

I turned around, "Not here," I pointed behind some hills, "there's a lake over that hill there. That'll be a good place to talk." With that I took off running again. Water always helped me think, I felt most at home there. Which I should, my father was god of water.

After running for a few minutes we got over the hills and spotted the lake.

Leo was clutching his knees obviously winded, "Alright guys, I don't know about you, but I'm rolling down this hill." Leo panted. So Leo laid down on his side and rolled down. Of course he still had his shirt off. The rest of us ran down the hill like normal people.

When we reached the bottom Leo was pulling sandspurs out from arms. His back was covered in them. Piper was shaking her head at him and Thalia was muttering something about boys.

"Hey Leo, let's get in the water, I'll get them off you." I said taking my shirt off and jumping in the lake. The instant I touched the water my senses opened up. I felt like I could fight twenty minotaur's.

Leo joined me in the water. I forced water around him and in every spot he had the sandspurs I pulled them out with the water. They all came out at once and Leo gave a cry of pain, as almost thirteen came out at once.

"You don't have to be such a baby Valdez," Piper said pulling one off her shoelace.

"So Percy, what was it you ran out of the house for?" Hazel asked me.

I propelled myself towards the edge of the lake where all my friends were just dipping their feet in. "Well firstly," I said looking at Jason, "We got to more careful about what we do. No more walking around without shirts." Jason nodded, I didn't blame him and he didn't blame me. At Camp we had become accustomed to walking to breakfast shirtless, more of an inside joke than to show off. Truthfully there are better looking people at camp than me, but the girls always giggled when I walked by them.

"Oh but Percy, everyone seemed to enjoy the show you and my little brother put on this morning." Thalia said in a mock girly voice. I smiled, Thalia was definitely one of my best friends. I only wished she wasn't always away with the hunters.

"Those two side shows? The ladies were all checking out Leos' sexy bod." Leo said still with no shirt on, flexing his "muscles". Piper pushed him into the lake, which caused us all to laugh.

"Alright, back on a serious note." Annabeth told us all, "anything else you wanted to talk about Percy?"

"Yeah, now I don't know, do you guys want them to know our story, or keep it a secret?" I asked. They all glanced at one another. I couldn't blame them, we knew them yet they didn't know anything about us.

"I don't think it would be helpful for them to know who we are. I mean, what could they possibly gain from that knowledge?" Annabeth asked us. I somewhat agreed, they didn't need to know who we are. On the other hand, why lie to these people who so graciously took us in. I supposed if the opportunity presented itself I could decide.

"Now, lastly and most importantly, whose going to join me in the lake?" I said with a grin. I knew none of them had swim suits but who cares? They all started backing up looking warily at me. I just grinned even bigger and summoned seven tendrils of water. I sent the tendrils of water to each of my friends and it wrapped around their ankles, pulling them into the water.

"Percy! I swear, if I ever catch you, I will kill you!" Thalia screamed at me, as she came back up from under the water. Leo looked slightly annoyed, but he was already wet. Jason was fine with it, me and him always pulled pranks on each other. Piper looked pissed like Thalia, Hazel was fine with it, and Frank had turned into a koi again. The one person I couldn't find was Annabeth and it kind of freaked me out. I was supposed to be in control in the water and always know what was going on. But I couldn't sense her.

Then out of nowhere, someone grabbed me in a choke hold from behind. I grinned, leave it to Annabeth to try and kill me, as a way of greeting. I ducked us under water and loosened her hold on me. I turned towards her so we were face to face. I was about to kiss her when Thalia had gotten to me. She grabbed me by the back of my hair and flung me up to the surface. She looked beyond mad and I knew what was coming. She shocked me with her powers, and it was probably the worst one I had ever received. However being in water I recovered quickly.

"Hey Thalia," I called to her as she tried to swim to get out. "Payback sucks." She turned to look just in time as a twenty foot wave came crashing down on her head. I let the water keep her down for a few extra seconds, before letting her up.

Surprisingly she was laughing, "You better be ready, seaweed brain." I gulped, Thalia was not one to make mad. She held a grudge for a while.

Just then someone came running up over the hill. I couldn't tell who it was from all the way where I was, but I suspected they were from the Burrow. Sure enough, a minute later it turned out Harry had been the one to make the journey to get us.

"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt your fun but Mrs. Weasley needs all of us inside." He told us, he was looking at me and Jason, looking for something on our bodies. Maybe they hadn't completely missed out scars. I sighed, keeping this secret was going to be harder than I thought. I knew however that back in the house, we would have some difficult questions to answer.

Harry Pov

After Percy and his friends had left Ron, Hermione, and I went up to Ron's room. I could tell Hermione had something on her mind. She practically ordered Ron and I to come with her. Ron's room hadn't changed too much, it was pretty much the same as the last time I had been here.

"Hermione, what is it you want to talk about?" I asked her, no point in beating around the bush.

She looked shocked for a moment, "How did you know I had something to say?"

"Hermione you're not a very subtle person." I told her. She looked appalled that I would say something like that.

"Yeah Hermione, no need to act all surprised, you're not subtle. The way you ordered us out of the kitchen? You need a little work on that." Ron told her.

Hermione gave an aggravated little sigh, " That's not the point. Did you guys see when Percy and Jason walked down the stairs on their backs and stomachs?

Ron interrupted her, "Hermione, you want to talk to us about two guys bodies? Of course you and my mother and sister were all looking, but you expect me to examine every detail of it?"

"No Ronald, I was talking about the scars all over their bodies." Hermione said with a slight blush. I hadn't noticed any abnormalities on their bodies, all I remembered feeling was jealousy.

"Jeez you guys haven't changed have you? Never notice anything but the obvious." Hermione said looking slightly disappointed. I knew what she was referring to. Back in our first year at Hogwarts we had seen Fluffy but failed to notice that it was sitting on a trap door.

"Well Hermione, forgive me for not wanting to check out another guys body to see that he is covered in scars." Ron told her angrily.

"I want to know how underage wizards got scarred up. That's not exactly normal is it?" She asked me.

I mean yes eight wizards all in their sixth year just magically showing up to go to Hogwarts with us, was little strange. Maybe Percy and Jason both being built like tanks was weird and the scars thing was not normal, but hadn't we seen enough abnormal things to stop questioning little things like that?

"Hermione, look I really don't know, sure it's not normal, but really are any of us normal?" I told her.

She just sighed, "Well whether you two want to know or not, I'm going to find out what's going on with these kids."

Someone knocked on the door, it was Mrs. Weasley. "Harry dear, would you mind fetching our guests?" I nodded that I wouldn't mind.

I had no idea where they would be so I just started walking around. Then I heard some voices carry from a little ways away so I followed it. I didn't know what to make of Hermione's sudden desire to know every little detail about these kids, even though they hadn't provoked any warrant for such a thing. They seemed like good people, why push them to find out about them, let them open up to you.

I got up on a hill and saw over it that they all were in a lake. I hadn't even known there was a lake here. I started descending down it towards them. They started getting out as I got closer.

"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt your fun but Mrs. Weasley needs all of us inside." I told them. I started looking at Percy and Jason's bodies trying to see the scars but they both had shirts on. Percy saw me looking and gave me a weird look. I didn't want to pry, but Hermione had made me curious.

We all started trudging back up the hill towards the Weasleys house. I looked behind me and noticed Percy was in deep thought. I wondered what that was about because everyone else seemed to be in good spirits.

"So Harry," Leo asked walking up to me, he was still shirtless. "You dating any of them chicks in there?" He said jerking his head towards the Burrow. I got angry at his question, I shouldn't dislike anyone after just meeting them but Leo just rubbed me the wrong way.

"Leo!" Piper yelled slapping him in the back of his head.

"What? I just wanted to know who was off limits!" Leo protested rubbing the back of his head.

"Please forgive him, he's not the brightest crayon in the box. But his hearts usually in the right place." Piper said. Slapping Leo again.

"Well to answer your question Leo, the only one available is Hermione," I told him. Unfortunately that's true, Ginny had a boyfriend from school. My chest started hurting when I thought of Ginny in someone else's arms.

"She reminds me too much of Annabeth," Leo said then looked behind him. "No offense of course Annabeth." Annabeth just shook her head, I doubted she cared what he thought of her, as long as Percy still loved her.

I slowed down and got next to Jason, "Hey, what's wrong with Percy?"

Jason looked back and saw Percy deep in thought, "I don't know man, he's just got a lot on his mind I guess." He glanced back again worriedly. So no one else knew what was wrong with Percy, so they weren't all plotting something evil.

We finally arrived back at the house and everyone was sitting around the table. Ginny waved at me as I entered the house. I waved back a little giddily. I really needed to get a hold of myself. I noticed Mrs. Weasley was holding a letter in her hands. When we walked in her usual smile didn't flash across her face only worry. I had no idea what was going on, I had only seen her like this when her husband had been in the hospital.

"Percy, this letter is for you." Mrs. Weasley said holding the letter out for Percy, who came forward and took it from her. He skimmed through it and frowned. He then crumbled it up into a little ball.

Hermione jumped out of her seat with a fierce look in her eyes, "Who are you guys?"
