I managed to arrive on time for lunch, getting lost at least 12 times in the giant castle. Gods, this place is even more confusing than the Labyrinth. You have to go through 2 sets of stairs, 6 hidden doorways, and an annoying poltergeist to go to the Great Hall. Thankfully I'm waterproof because Peeves tried to dump water balloons on our heads, and then Nico came to the rescue. He told Peeves to back off and stop messing or he will throw him into Tartarus personally. I dried everyone off and the wizards continued to stare at us weirdly.

The lunch was good. I took out my secret stash of blue cookies, secretly of course, munched on one, and put the rest away before anybody else sees them. But Harry Potter just had to ask.

"What is that?" 

Everyone looked my way.

"Why, Harry? Now everyone knows I have blue cookies!"

After I said that, all Hades broke loose. All the demigods scrambled to their feet and came rushing onto me, screaming and yelling, grabbing a cookie from my bag. Soon the secret stash of cookies my mom brought me were gone. Actually, she told me to share, but I just couldn't bring myself to give those precious cookies away.

The new kids are very weird. That guy Leo light the fire in potions without a wand! And while we are walking to lunch, Peeves attacked the Americans with water buckets, they weren't even wet!

At lunch time, the guy who looked a lot like me was looking very suspicious. He observed his surroundings, as if he was afraid anyone could see him, and then took out something blue from his bag. 

"What is that?" I asked.

He looked at me and pouted. "Why Harry? Now everyone knows I have blue cookies!"

Blue cookies? My head was swimming. While I was thinking about the weirdness of blue biscuits, all the exchange students ran towards him and grabbed the biscuits/cookies from his bag. Why are they so crazy about them? They don't even look nice enough to eat. I shrugged and continued to eat my lunch.

[Percy]

I went up to the Owlery later that day to write a letter to my mom asking for more. Me being me, I forgot that Athena hates me, and forgot to bring Annabeth with me.

As soon as I entered the room, all the owls started flapping and pecking and attacking me, so I ran away back to the common room with a giant mob of furious owls on my tail.

"ANNABETH! HELP! OWLS!"

She facepalmed in response, and told the owls to get off me. Seriously, Athena, I know you don't approve of me and Annabeth's relationship, but seriously?

"Let me guess. You tried to send a letter asking for cookies." said Annabeth. 

I sighed. "Can you come with me this time? I really want more cookies. And I promise that I will give you half of them."

"Alright, Seaweed Brain."

We just finished sending the letters, and were going down the stairs in the owlery, when we heard a sneeze, and someone elbowing someone else. We tensed. It's at least an hour past curfew and the students shouldn't be out their common rooms. [exchange students had more time in the night to do training and stuff]

[Harry]

"I don't think this is a good idea Harry, going after them."

"Wow. Hermione has rubbed off on you."

We were just about to head back to Gryffindor tower while we saw Percy and a blonde, I think her name in Annabeth, turning around the corner. Of course Ron chose this convenient time to sneeze. I elbowed him.

The two Americans tensed and Percy took out this bronze-coloured pen. I think they noticed us.

Cliffhanger!

And just a reminder: The demigods and NOT undercover. They can do whatever with their powers.
