WTF Annabeth

Chapter 17

Percy

None of us would have slept enough except we didn't have to get up early anyway. I dragged myself up sometime between nine and ten and was famished. After diving through the shower I dressed fast and went to the common room to see who else might be awake, and found everyone sitting at a long table as Neville, Seamus, Fay and Lavender brought breakfast from the kitchen.

"Hey sleepy head!" Annabeth grinned as she rose to hug and kiss me. "I didn't want to wake you as"

"Yes she did. I wouldn't let her." Selina interjected.

"Well Selina thought you might want to sleep in, so I didn't want to wake yo"

"Yes she did, we almost had to physically restrain her" Neville said.

"Right. Like you could do that" Annabeth smirked.

"It would have been a group effort certainly but I'm sure we could have prevailed." Hermione said.

"Anyway, ignore them, I'm glad you're up." Annabeth said as we wrapped our arms around each other and stole a quick kiss in front of everyone. "The main kitchen was closed already so we decided to have breakfast here."

"Why are some of the pancakes blue?" Fay asked.

"Oh, those are mine. I do blue food."

"Why?"

"I'm not really sure, I just like blue food."

"Oh"

We ate and talked about our plans for the day, We had the morning to do with as we wished but had SPEW training in the afternoon starting at one. Selina sat across from me with Harry and just sort of sparkled throughout breakfast.

"Rue, I have only seen your dining hall and dorm. Before training could you show me the rest of the school?"

"Sure!" Annabeth answered for him. "Thats a great idea, and after training we can introduce you to Hagrid, he is one of Harry's name sakes!"

Selina and Harry stared at Annabeth as though she had just stolen two full hours of huggy kissy time from her, which we would later learn that she had.

What the fuck Annabeth?

Anyway, while Harry cast his cleaning spell, it was the first time Selina and some of the first year girls had seen it and like Annabeth all declared him to be husband material as a result, the rest of us brushed our teeth and got ready to show Selina around.

We started at the Astronomy Tower, as it was the highest and gave a great view of the surrounding countryside and campus.

"That stadium over there? That is where we hold quidditch matches. Fred, George and myself are on our house team and our season opener is next Saturday, I hope you can make it." Harry said to Selina who seemed as excited as we were about it.

"Harry is the youngest house team member in a hundred years." Hermione added.

"That sounds exciting! I will talk to... uh, that horse's ass that runs the place, but I bet I can go, but Rue, what is a quidditch?"

"Oh, its like wizards basketball, and soccer, and... battle ball, and... oh its played with brooms."

"You Sweep with brooms? Run on brooms? Stand on them? Whack your opponents with them? How does that work?"

"No, we fly on them."

"Witches fly brooms. So that's true?"

"Well, here it is anyway, I'll take you flying later if you want."

"I... isn't that dangerous?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'm in." She giggled and squeezed Harry tightly.

"Lucky bastard" Seamus mumbled.

"What's that?" Hermione asked.

"I was just saying how lucky Gryffindor is to have Harry on the team."

"Oh, of course! You must come next Saturday Selina so we can cheer Harry on." Hermione replied.

"And George and Fred and the rest of the team." Pavarti said.

"Well of course the whole team, but"

"Selina isn't dating the whole team mate." Seamus interrupted.

Several people laughed but Harry and Selina just giggled and smiled at each other.

"Oh! Over there is our friend Hagrid's hut, he's the game keeper and keeper of the keys, you must meet him Selina" Annabeth said as she pointed out his hut, and with that the tour continued.

We worked our way through the castle, pointing out what we knew until we ended up at the grand hall right at eleven thirty, just as it opened for lunch. Along the way we started just making stuff up. Neville would say something like "Here is the portrait of Lord Pounderbush, quite famous among wizards."

"He invented ice." Seamus would remark.

"I did no such thing, I studied the effects of oak wands on gnome control" or something similar, Pounderbush would say, well sometimes. Usually the paintings just stared at us like we were lunatics.

We munched on the sandwiches, pizza and other food the Grand Hall provided, well Annabeth, Selina and Hermione all had salads and tried to convince us to but I put a stop to that by saying "Remember Las Vegas."

None of the crew outside Annabeth and Harry had any idea what that meant, but quick enough Annabeth at least stopped complaining about our lunch.

"Do you sacrifice salad to all the gods or just Demeter?" Harry asked, but no one replied.

While we dined George and Fred came in, each carrying a leather satchel and each of those having a half dozen or so more rolled up in them. They were like messenger bags and were perfect.

"How did you get to Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked.

"That's secret Hermione" they said in unison. Honestly I didn't think they would be able to do it, but the twins never ceased to amaze me with their talents, They would fit in with the Stoll brothers perfectly.

On the other hand, training began with each of them again volunteering to fight Selina. I think they were joking, at least they were laughing it up. Maybe they were thinking it would be fun to wrestle her to the ground. If they were serious, only four of us knew what a terrible idea that was.

"I'll go first" George giggled and Hermione gave all three padded practice swords. George and Fred went to the other end of the mat, cutting up and giggling the whole way, while Selina checked hers for balance, grip and reach.

Then without waiting to be told so she screamed and ran across the mat and leaped into the air. She hooked her left knee under George's chin and brought her right leg to the back of his neck while cutting down onto the grip of his sword and knocking it to the ground. Her momentum and surprise caused him to turn and fall on his face and he used both hands to try to break the choke hold she hand him in. Selina then whacked him across the back with the flat of her blade and announced "You're dead!" as she crawled from him.

Fred was a few feet away laughing at his brother when Selina leaped to her feet and ran to him, dropping to her knees as she slid by, and whacking him solidly in the back of his knees, causing him to fall as well. He was too surprised by the sheer viciousness of her attack to retain his balance and he was practically on the ground before he knew she had attacked. Selina again leaped to her feet, tapped his chest with the tip of her sword and said quietly "You're dead too."

"Excellent Selina, you haven't lost your edge." I said.

"Yes she has, if the old Selina was here they would both be grabbing their groins and wondering if they would ever have children." Annabeth said. "Still, good job."

"That wasn't fair, no one counted off or said go."

"The first rule of combat is never get into a fair fight." Hermione said.

"Not fair? I went easy on you like Annabeth said!"

"Oh! You listened Miss Grainger!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed! "Now get up boys before I write to your mother Molly and tell her you got beat up by a little girl."

"Class, your leaders, as well as Miss Grainger and Ronald Weasley, oh, and Miss Beauregard, in case you haven't heard, took on and bested the mountain troll that had invaded our castle. This was remarkable and shows all what results this training can produce. Unless you think you could do the same, and I assure you that you could not, I urge to to work hard in here. We have two new students, and of course I would like to expand further once this group has become adept enough to train those we recruit" the professor stated.

"Professor McGonagall, we were wondering, well some of us have satchels with extention charms on them, but the spell itself is beyond our skill as yet. Would you mind placing the charm on these bags so that we could all.."

"No one should be carrying arms at Hogwarts other than those excepted by the Headmaster, you know that Mr Jackson."

"Oh! Sure, but, well we can't practice our fencing skills without epees, and we have none outside of the room of requirement. We are able to practice everything else, but not, well, what I think is the most important skill we are learning." I said, sucking up as much as I could without seeming to suck up. "Plus, they are darned useful, I carry almost everything I own in mine."

"And I would love to send Selina home with one. If that is alright, I mean, she did just beat up George and Fred for us." Harry said.

Even McGonagall chuckled at that comment.

"No, I think I see through your words Mr Jackson. I will not cast the spell for you, I will for Miss Beauregard for her services to Hogwarts of course."

"Helping kill the troll?" Selina asked.

"Making sure Fred and George Weasley take these studies seriously Miss Beauregard. Now, although I will not cast it for you, I will teach everyone the spell so they might cast their own. Its a fifth year spell in any case, so if I didn't teach you I imagine you could get it elsewhere" She smiled.

We then spent the hour we would normally use for combat spells learning to cast the infinite extension charm and the password spell. Harry was careful to make sure Selina didn't attempt any spells until she had talked with her mother about it, there was no reason for Hecate to be angry at her too, but he figured if Aphrodite approved Hecate would too.

When it came time to give McGonagall her password, she used "Rubeus McGonagall" and I think both the professor and Harry got a little choked up at that.

It really wasn't that difficult of a spell although it took longer to cast than the spells we knew. Soon everyone had a satchel. Annabeth and Hermione then taught everyone the simple charm to change it to whatever purse or bag they liked, while the guys learned how to make it invisible, or at least to look like a book bag.

We did hand to hand and sword training next and most of that was spent going over the basics with George and Fred. Like their brother, they learned fast, especially when Annabeth paired one with Eloise and the other with Fay to spar and each girl stomped their butts repeatedly. George and Fred were known to cut up in class, but here they were totally focused now. By the end of sparing they were almost holding their own, and within a week they were caught up with the slowest students we had with weapons and hand to hand combat, Pavarti and Lavender, which caused the girls to work that much harder. Hermione, Neville and Ron still kicked their butts and it would be late spring before either won a single bout against our star pupils.

What George and Fred didn't know was that Selina was never very good with a sword, archery was more her thing weapon wise, but she was among the best hand to hand fighters in camp. Years of fighting off suiters I suppose. She was, like Annabeth, excellent with a dagger, and could certainly hold her own with a sword, but when we got to fencing training Professor McGonagall used her to demonstrate the basics as we reviewed and she picked right up on it.

"This is so much more elegant than a spatha!" She exclaimed at one point, causing McGonagall to reply with a grin, "Yes Mr Potter, I believe you should keep this one!"

By the end of class, perhaps owing to both her natural grace and dance experience her foot work was as good, if not better, than anyone's.

"Why are my boys doing so poorly today?" the Professor asked at one point.

It was true, most of the guys seemed a bit off.

Yoga pants.

Annabeth, Hermione and Selina were wearing yoga pants. And tank tops of the same material that were quite snug as well. It was an alluring combination. "Did Hermione have boobies yesterday?" I wondered to myself.

"I think some of the girls attire might be distracting them" I said to her.

"Perhaps we should have a dress code for training to avoid such provocative attire." McGonagall replied, quite seriously.

"I will kill you to death Percy Jackson." Dean said quietly enough that only I heard him.

"No Professor, they need to be able to fight while distracted. If they can't control their emotions here, how can you expect them to when faced with real threats?"

"I suppose you are right, but we should perhaps monitor to make sure it doesn't become a worse problem."

"Of course, I will meet with the boys tonight and explain their short comings."
