"I want a tour of the camp." Percy jumped as Eva's voice appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Why? You already know everything about Camp." He intoned.
She shrugged. "I don't care. I want a tour, I never got one." Percy sighed and agreed to take her on the tour. He first took her to the sword fighting arena. She stared at it in awe.
"Holy shit. This is awesome." She had already seen the cabins and the lake, so he sped up the process and took her to the archery range ("I'm weaponized!"), then the horses and pegasi.
"I really like horses. Been takin' riding lessons since I was 13. I can take care of 'em too." She walked up and pet one of them. "Guess I understand why I always liked horses. My favorite at my riding place is Ace."
Blackjack's voice rang in his ears. Yo boss, who is this? Percy sighs. "This is Eva. She's my half-sister."
Eva grins. "And I can hear 'em too!" She smiled happily and looked around. "I lo-" She got cut off when suddenly an old man with a beard appeared. Her eyes go wide. "Oh my gods." She laughs in disbelief. "I believe it when I see it, and holy shit I see it."
The old man narrows his eyes in suspicion. His expression softens. "Hello. My name is Albus Dumbledore. I'm here to pick up you two and eight others," Dumbledore glances around, "wherever they are, to the base of the Order of the Phoenix. Once you pack." The sea children nod and head back to pack, Eva finishing and rushing back first.
Eva smiles softly the entire time while the others arrive. "Hello. I'm Albus Dumbledore. I'm here to take you ten to the Order of the Phoenix headquarters."
"Order of the Phoenix?" Questions Leo.
"Yes. It's the name of our wizard's opposition to Lord Voldemort. Now, everyone please hold this portkey." He holds out an old book. Eva squints and notices it says 'Greeks and Wizards.' Huh. It seemed strangely familiar to her. She shakes it off and holds onto the book.
When the 10 (they're slowly getting more numerous, aren't they?) arrived at 12 Grimmauld Place, Eva stumbled off to some bushes and emptied her guts. Luckily, the others didn't.
Eva comes back with a slight grin and gives a shaky thumbs up. "Bleh. Regurgitated cheeseburgers do NOT taste good." The other demigods shudder at the thought. Dumbledore reveals Grimmauld Place to the demigods, and most of them gape or grin as it reveals.
Eva laughs in astonishment and runs her hand through her hair with a wide grin on her face.
Eva's POV
I'm going to be honest here. I hadn't really believed the books I read. Did they seem startlingly similar? Yeah. Did I see Percy all over the news? Of course. But part of me still doubted that it existed. Besides, I was the least likely person to be a demigod! Or so I thought. So I've been taking books with a grain of salt lately. How many books are actually about real life? There has to be a cut-off somewhere, right?
But that doesn't matter right now. I was taught to always make a good first impression. Puking isn't a very good impression for THE Dumbledore, so I've really got to make a good second one.
Suddenly, something rustled in the bushes. I glanced around, watching for whatever made the sound. There! Behind that tree! A pair of red eyes blinked at me and promptly disappeared. I jerked forward, grabbing a branch with my hand and swinging to look behind it. But there was nothing. I could have sworn there were eyes a second ago, but now they were just… gone.
"Eva?"
I jumped. Standing right behind me was Percy, eyes furrowed.
"Are you alright?"
"Oh, um, yeah, just thought I saw something. Sorry."
I walked back to the group. It was nothing. It had to be. I was probably just hallucinating. There was no need to worry.
"Eva…"
There was no need to worry, right?
Harry's POV
Dumbledore had arrived with the exchange students! He walked into 12 Grimmauld Place, and Ron, Hermione, and I ran out of the kitchen into the hallway to see them.
"They" look suspicious. Well, more odd than suspicious. Oh, how old is that short blonde chick? Maybe 13-14? I don't know. She's kinda cute though…
As if reading my mind Ron asked, "Hey, young blonde girl with the glasses, how old are you?"
"Ronald!" exclaimed Hermione. "My name is Eva. It's fine, I'm fifteen, and I'm from Nunya." she snickered.
"Who's 'Nunya'?" I inquired.
"Nunya business, mind your own!" She replied and at that, the exchange students giggles bubbled into laughter.
We walked into the kitchen and Mrs. Weasley had dinner ready. "Why don't you all have a seat?" Mrs. Weasley asked us, so we did. "Introduce yourselves." Dumbledore stated.
"My name Annabeth Chase, and I am 17 years old." a pretty blonde-haired girl with gray eyes said.
"I'm Percy Jackson, 17." A boy with messy black hair like mine and sea-green eyes said.
"The name's Leo Supersized McSchizzle Bad Boy Supreme Valdez! I'm 15 years young." Said a young greasy Latino boy.
"Nico Di Angelo. I am 15." The pale boy dressed in all black, Nico, crossed his arms.
"My name is Hazel Levesque, and I am 15!" A girl with dark skin and gold eyes said.
"Hi, I'm Frank Zhang, 16." A tall Chinese guy said.
"I'm Piper. Um, Piper Mclean. I'm 15." a girl with brown hair and skin said. Her eyes were mesmerizing.
"My name is Jason Grace, and I'm 15." A boy with blonde hair and electric blue eyes said.
"I'm Thalia. 17." a black-haired girl with electric blue eyes said. She appeared similar to Jason.
"And I'm Eva Weinel, 15." Annoying glasses girl said.
"Thank you." Said Dumbledore "This is Harry," I waved, "Ron," "Hello!" Ron said "and Hermione." Hermione smiled.
•{Time skip}•
After eating, we dispersed to go to bed after a long day.
Eva's POV
As I was led upstairs by Harry FREAKING Potter and Ron Weasley, I was giddy with excitement. "Hey you, glasses girl-" started Harry, "It's Eva." I rolled my eyes.
"Fine, Eva. Here is your room. Why are you acting like that? You're weird."
"Aha, it's nothing..." I recede into my room while trying to contain my laughter. I closed the door and pressed my ear to it. "What the bloody hell is wrong with her?" Ron said, "Dunno." Harry replied.
I didn't dwell on their unfriendly good night. Instead, I tried to sleep. But with everything going on lately I couldn't give a wink.
§{Time skip to morning}§
I wake up and almost forget where I am. Remembering the past few days, my excitement is renewed as I go downstairs for breakfast.
"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!" I shout, and those downstairs flinch. Except for Nico, who seems distracted… "I-is that how Americans greet each other?" Mr. Weasley asks, wary of me. "Nope, I'm just excited!" I grin at them.
Nico smiles, for once, at his phone. A profile photo of a tan blond-haired boy smiles back up at him. Ah, I see what's so distracting then…
"Guess what guys? Mrs. Weasley made blueberry pancakes and waffles!" Percy exclaims. He sounds very excited. Close enough to blue pancakes I think, as we start to eat.
Hope y'all enjoyed. R & R, don't die, and go birds
