Percy
Once everyone was done laughing (Annabeth had to use her special death glare to shut the Stolls up), Chiron started the meeting. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I've called this meeting. Hecate, the goddess of magic, has asked us a small favour." He paused, as if knowing the demigods would start complaining.
"Chiron, please tell us it's not another quest!"
"What for?"
"The war got over just six weeks ago! Another quest already?"
"Whatever it is, I refuse."
Chiron had to stamp his hoof twice to regain silence. All Percy could think of was, no, no, no, please don't let it be another quest, please, please, please, gods, not another one. . .
"Demigods! Silence, please! It's not another quest. No interruptions Travis. I repeat, it is not another quest. I should start from the beginning. Millennia ago, Hecate had blessed a particular group of her worshippers. They were granted the gift of magic. Those who weren't blessed became jealous of those who were, and they shunned them. The wizarding community stopped announcing themselves, and retreated into the shadows.
"Generations later, the existence of magic was forgotten by the non-magic people. The wizards grew in secret. They formed their own government, built their own society, away from prying eyes. Centuries later, they were a fully-grown society, a society unknown by the non-magic folk, mainly centered in Britain.
"Some of these wizards discriminate others by blood. Wizards whose lineage is purely magic only are called pure-bloods and are considered better by some. Wizards whose lineage is mixed, magic and non-magic, are called half-bloods and those born to completely non-magic people are called Muggle-borns and are treated lowly by some.
"We suffered heavily in the last two wars. Mostly because we did not have the numbers or the friends to help us. It is time for us to make another alliance. This time with the wizards. Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of a very prestigious school of magic called Hogwarts and my old friend, has agreed to let eleven demigods attend his school as a chance to make friendships. You will go to Hogwarts undercovered as wizards and witches. You will attend the classes and make friends and make them trust you. But never, NEVER will you give away your true identities until it is time. Am I clear?"
Everyone had been listening to Chiron in a daze. When Chiron stopped talking, everyone jerked awake. Percy felt really confused and really clear at the same time. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Chiron? I'm pretty sure I understood all that right. But just to make sure, can you repeat it again?" Chiron looked ready to murder Percy.
After everyone had asked their questions and everyone was clear, Chiron said, "If you have any other queries, don't worry, Hecate will be coming here in the evening to explain everything in detail. And we will all discuss on who will go to Hogwarts at that time too."
Everyone looked nervous about meeting the goddess of magic. Hecate was known for having a quick temper and no one wanted to be fried before dinner.
Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Nico and Will all gathered in Poseidon's Cabin to discuss about this startling news. Nico said,"This could actually be fun, you know. Meet new people, make friends. . ." He trailed off, turning green, unable to even think about it. Percy was shocked. Never did he think such words would be said by a son of Hades."Will, did you drug him?" teased Piper. "Of course not! Who do you think I am? I'm only Nico's healer, to make sure he doesn't shadow-travel and stay healthy. . ." Will said defensively. "And also boyfriend," added Jason. Nico and Will blushed a deep red.
"Of course not. . ." Nico said weakly.
"What gave you that idea?" Will stammered.
Will and Nico were sitting so close together, Nico was almost sitting on top of Will. Everyone looked pointedly at their position and their holding hands. They blushed again.
"Anyway, back to topic. I cannot believe wizards actually exist!" said Piper, seeing that Nico and Will were about to combust. "Will they wear pointy hats and purple robes with stars and moons and fly on broomsticks?" Percy wondered. "No, silly! They're not cartoons! At least I hope not," said Annabeth, not sounding so sure.
They chatted on about random things until late afternoon. When the topic edged toward Leo, everyone's eyes filled with tears. They were not ready to talk about their annoying, brave, selfless friend yet. Slowly, one by one everyone drifted off to sleep. Percy laid down on Annabeth's lap and she rest her head against his. Nico and Will were using each other's heads' as support for their own, so they looked as if they were butting their heads together while sleeping. Jason and Piper were lightly hugging each other and leaned back against the pillows.
They were sleeping on peacefully, without any nightmares, when a loud WOOHOO! from outside cut the silence. Percy fell onto the floor as Annabeth stood up abruptly. Everyone sprang up with their weapons in their hands. Percy forgot to uncap Riptide. He looked super menacing with a pen. Jason drew his gladius, Piper Katoptris, Nico his Stygian iron sword, Annabeth her drakon-bone sword and Will a pair of Barbie safety scissors (he had been cutting bandages at the infirmary). Nico looked at Will's scissors and gave him a disbelieving look like, dude, seriously? Will shot him a defensive look like, It's all I have!
The group went outside and searched for the monsters. What they found was totally unexpected. A huge bronze dragon stood in the middle of all the cabins, roaring and breathing fire into Hestia's hearth, almost burning it. A crowd was already gathered around it. A scrawny, thin boy with curly brown hair and an impish smile got down from the back of the dragon. A beautiful girl with caramel coloured hair pulled up into a high ponytail, wearing a white blouse and blue jeans got down after him. Her almond-shaped eyes darted around quickly, taking in the scene around her. "Yeah baby! Super-sized Mcshizzle is back whooo!" shouted the boy, waving his scrawny arms.
Percy was in shock. A boy who had blown up in the middle of the sky in a massive explosion, who was believed to be dead, here he was, standing in the middle of the green with a bronze dragon and an immortal titaness who is supposed to be trapped on an inescapable island.
Guess Leo really is all about doing the impossible.
Percy's shock melted into anger. They had been searching for so long for this boy, and he has been alive, yet he did not IM the camp at all. Before Percy could do anything though, Piper walked up close to Leo and said in a low, menacing voice, "You are so dead, Leo Valdez."
