They couldn't ask Harry about it so naturally they went to Dumbledore's office. Also naturally, Dumbledore wasn't at Hogwarts. Why would he be there when they needed him the most? Nothing could be so simple. Hence naturally as they were forced to wait, they went back to the Quidditch field to keep an eye on Harry.
Annabeth, too ADHD to focus on the tryouts while having a lead on her quest, sat with Percy measuring each possibility mentally.
After a whole idle yet restless day, they went back to the common room waiting for dinner.
After dinner, they sneaked out of the common room and raced to Dumbledore's office hoping he might have retuned by then.
Dumbledore was there, alright. But he wasn't alone. Bent over a huge flat bowl were harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore.
Annabeth, Percy and Leo stood transfixed by the door watching them sharing a bowl of something watery like liquid. As they observed them, Dumbledore and Harry drifted back to reality.
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at them but Harry snapped, "What are you doing here?"
"We don't have to tell you anything.", Annabeth said coldly.
"Uh- It's the mermen- mer-people, I mean. They have agreed to fight beside you against the Death Biters ", Percy steered the conversation.
"Death Eaters", Dumbledore corrected.
"Yeah, them", Percy said.
Dumbledore sighed and said to Harry, "Remember what I've asked of you. It's a key thing. Now, it's late, you may leave."
Harry was reluctant to go but he left glaring at Percy and Annabeth immediately launched into her theory.
Dumbledore listened to her patiently and said, "I don't think Harry's a demigod"
"But come on! You said he was better than most. That might be his demigods blood at work!", Leo complained.
"Harry has a sensitive past but his mother is surely Lily Potter. He has her eyes.", Dumbledore explained.
"He has green eyes, which by all means is the same as Hecate's", Annabeth argued.
"Harry isn't a demigod. You could ask your satyr. You all are just desperate for a fixed lead. Harry cannot perform Hecate's incarnations and I know it."
"But the magic-"
"-was of one a shield charm. Believe me, you'll have to find another lead."
"Could you not dampen our spirits please? I was really getting nostalgic for my cabin bunk" Leo said.
"I advise you to merge here and be comfortable. The demigod you look for will show up himself. Just keep your senses sharp for any change.", Dumbledore said.
"So, you want us to do nothing?" Annabeth chided.
"Not nothing. How about you go back to your dormitories and leave me to my work?" Dumbledore said, his eyes gleaming.
