Chapter 2
Harry's POV
Blonde girl took his hand. "Annabeth Chase" she solemnly introduced herself. "Percy Jackson" the boy next to her said. Harry stared at Percy. Damn, he looked kinda similar to him. Also, Harry hoped to be friends with them. They didnt seem to be afraid of Dudley. They seemed new to town. Hopefully. they will become friends. They looked so cool. Harry was afraid that he looked like a freak so he tried to act cool. "Umm, so" stuttered Harry. Ah man. Not that cool.
Annabeth smiled and looked into his eyes. Dang, she was pretty. Her grey eyes looked into his eyes. He hoped he wasnt blushing. "So, Harry, where is this place?" she asked. Harry was confused. Shouldnt they know where they are? "This street is called Private Drive" he started. "Are you guys new around here?" he asked. Percy looked uncomfortable. "Well, we are not from here" he stated. Annabeth looked at his clothes. Oh man, let's hope that she wont think i am a freak, by judging my outfit. "That looks like a really old fashioned" she said. Harry awkwardly straightened his shirt. "Yeah, it is, because its second-hand" he mumbled. Annabth looked shocked. "Oh no, i didnt mean it that way" she explained. Then, she gasped. "Harry, what year it is?" she slowly asked. Harry looked at her strangely. "Its 1991" he said. Shouldnt they at least know what year it is right now?
Percy looked shocked. He shook his head. "No way" he whispered. He fell to the ground clutching his head. Harry put his hand on his shoulder, worried. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked. "Circe...did...did she?" he looked at Annabeth. Annabeth was pale as a snow. But she didnt show any nervoussness or something. She pulled Percy up. "Dont worry. There has to be way" she calmed him down. Harry looked at their clothes. It said Camp Half-Blood. Maybe they got separated from their campers. "Do you guys have any place to stay today?" Harry asked. If they got lost, they would probably need his help. "Umm, no" answered Annabeth. "You guys can stay at my room for tonight" Harry suggested. He looked at the sky. "Its getting late" he said. "We have to go. You guys will have to sneak in tho".
Harry led them into Dursley's. Lucky he got bigger bedroom recently. Bunch of letters started coming to him. He was hoping to snatch one of it if more comes tomorrow. After he showed them exactly where his bedroom window is, he went in. Inside, there were Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. Luckily, Dudley wasnt home yet. Before they can say anything about him, he shot to his bedroom. Inside, there were Percy and Annabeth sitting on the floor. Harry was amazed. He didnt think they will come in that easy.
"Thanks for letying us stay here for tonight" smiled Percy. He looked much better. Harry was glad. "Here you go" Harry gave them blankets. Then he quickly locked his door. "We gotta be careful. As long as we pretendto be asleep, Dursleys wont barge in after Dudley tells them what happened." Percy scowled. "Is that blond idiot your relative?" he asked. Harry nodded. "Dursleys are terrible" he said. Together they sat down and Harry told them about his life. How he is constantly bullied by Dudley and Dursleys. How he is mistreated at school and everbody hate him. It was kinda difficult at first, but Percy and Annabethwere good listeners. It felt nice having somebody to talk with. "Dude, that suck" Percy said angrily. "Nah, its okay" Harry shrugged it off. "Whats your story?" he asked. Harry was curious. Annabeth awkwardly looked at Percy. Then she pulled out some device from her pocket. Percy stared at it. "Annabeth, we shouldn't carry cellphone!" he complained. "Whats cellphone?" asked Harry. Annabeth glanced at Percy and said "Its like a telephone. You can call people with it". "Woah. Thats so strange" said Harry. Annabeth looked into his eyes. "Actually, we are not from this world" she said. Harry looked at Percy. And then he looked at Annabeth. They both looked dead serious. "Are you playing pranks on me right now, cause i-" "Its true" interrupted Percy. He took out a ballpoint pen. Harry stared at it. "What are you gonna do- Woah woah whoa" Harry exclaimed when it turned into a full sized sword. "You see" explained Percy. "We are demigods. We live in a world of Gods and Monsters. An another dimension" he looked at Annabeth. "I know its hard to trust us, but its true". "Please, you must not tell anyone about this" pleaded Annabeth. Harry head was spinning. Gods? Monsters? Demigods? Woah...
"I believe you" he said after a long silence. Actually, Harry believed there was an another world or dimension out there. After all the strange things that happened to him, he felt like he found the answer. When he somehow regrew his hair agian when Aunt Petunia gave him ridiculous haircut. How he ended up on school rooftop while running from Dudley gang. How he set snake on Dudley and his friend.
Annabeth looked at him in disbelief. "You actually do?" she asked. "Yeah..." Harry told her about all the strange things that happened to him before. Annabeth bit her lip. "Thats interesting" she said. "Btw you guys said you are demigods. What does that mean?" asked Harry. "We are halg god and half human. My mom is Athena, goddess of wisdom. Seaweed- I mean- Percy's dad is Poseidon, god of the sea" Annabeth explained. Harry nodded. It was so interesting.
In the morning, Harry woke up and thought to himself, huh, nice dream about having friends. When he got up, he saw that Percy and Annabeth were already up. "Good morning" smiled Percy. Then, somebody knocked on the door. "HARRY! WAKE UP AND MAKE BREAKFAST" shouted Aunt Petunia. "I will bring some breakfast for you guys too" Harry promised and went downstairs
After breakfast, Harry quickly went out with Percy and Annabeth. They wandered around, while he was listening to their adventures. Percy decided to teach Harry how to fight, and they had a sword fighting lesson. After that, Annabeth taught him how to judo flip somebody. After a lot of practice, Harry was able to judo flip somebody and how to block and punch. All thanks to Annabeth and Percy.
In the evening, Percy and Annabeth decided to stay one more day, which was nice for Harry. He was actually gonna spend his birthday with someone who cares. When he told them about his birthday, Annabeth wore her Yankee's cap, which turns her invisible, and sneaked down to get some of Dudley's cakes. Together, they sat down, waiting for 12am.
