——Nico POV——

The guy in the bathrobe had a really long beard. It was so long that it touched the floor.

'hello, Perseus Jackson" Bathrobe guy greeted.

 One thing that you should know about Percy is to never call him Perseus, unless you are Sally or Annabeth when they are mad. Unfortunately, bathrobe guy made this mistake.

In the blink of an eye, Percy uncapped Riptide and was about to swing it when Annabeth grabbed his arm.

I know that Percy is the best swordsman in a hundred years and that Annabeth might be second but seeing them fight, even after 3 years, still impressed me.

"Sorry, it was a reflex. Call me Percy, people only call me Perseus when they want to kill me."

"Of course, Percy. Chiron, my old friend has told me about your adventures."

Adventures huh. Did this man just dare to calls those trips to hell and back, travelling around the world to save it an ADVENTURE. What is this, "The Adventures of Percy Jackson"

(A/n: Like adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Adventures of Percy Jackson? OK I'll stop.)

We  glared at him and Annabeth might have allowed Percy to kill him, but Chiron smartly interrupted us, distracting us (temporarily) from our thoughts of murder.

"This is Albus Dumbledore, son of Hecate." Great I can kill him with my sword. "You may want to sit down for this" we sat down.

"Long long ago, when a group of mortals completed a quest for Hecate, she blessed them with magical powers. Unlike you demigods who are born with power, they cannot channel theirs without a wand -yes Percy, a magic stick-

Over the years Hecate blesses more promising mortals, who had children and passed down this magical blood, generation to generation.

In order to control their powers better, many witches and wizards built schools to teach young witches and wizards. One of which, is Hogwarts, which was build by four powerful witches and wizards. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin" He spoke a bit about the school, then beardie- sorry Dumbdoor took over.

He talked about a guy called Harold Peter. And I will admit with zero shame that I did not hear a single word that the guy said and I don't think that Percy and Will paid attention either. But the most astonishing thing, was that Annabeth didn't pay attention either. Like ANNABETH. I understand why though. Dumbdoor kept talking about Harold like he was a God. Even we don't talk about our godly parent like that.

After 10 whole minutes ( it felt like hours ), Percy snapped and irritably snapped "could you get to the point already?"

"Harry has been getting into trouble lately and the demigod who was assigned to protect him before, cannot keep up. So we need a few, more powerful demigod to protect him" Dumbdoor explained "so do you need us to recommend who to select or something" Percy was confused, while I was starting to understand what was going on.

I was confused why Annabeth still hadn't figured it out (her being the daughter of Athena and all) but I realized that she was in denial, can't blame her though.

"No I need you four to come"

"What?" 

"what the fuck, never" 

"No" 

"In your dreams bitch" and a chorus of other colorful protests rang out.

"Chiron, don't tell me that you agree with us going, yo-you can't be serious, this-this can't be happening, not again" Percy panicked, his eyes filling with tears.

Poor guy. We've all been through so much but Percy had it  rough with having to live with an abusive stepfather for 12 years, almost losing his mother, going through 2 great prophecies, losing the people closest to him and being away from Annabeth for 8 months, he would obviously be scared to go again.

Before Chiron could say anything, Percy ran out of the Big House and Annabeth ran after him with me and Will close behind.

He ran towards the beach, where no one was, during this time of day. Before he could reach the water, Annabeth tackled him. He didn't say anything, he just cried into her chest.  Annabeth whispered something that made him cry a little less.

"Come on,  lets leave them alone" Will whispered to me.  Just as we were about to leave,  Chiron galloped out of the Big House and galloped towards us. "Where's  Percy?" he asked in a worried tone. "The beach" Will replied before I could stop him, then Chiron galloped towards them. We were close enough to hear them so we stayed and listened.

"Please Percy, Annabeth. Thousands of lives might be lost if we don't do something now" Chiron pleaded.  "why us, there are hundreds of demigods here and hundreds more at camp Jupiter" Annabeth argued, her eyes brimming with tears. "This knowledge cannot be spread and Hecate herself ordered you 5 to go on this quest"

Annabeth nudged Percy who was still hugging her and crying and they had a silent conversation. "Fine, we'll do it" "I'll talk to Nico and Will" Chiron said solemnly.  Shit. I looked at Will and he whispered in my ear "whatever choice you make, I'll be right behind you". Chiron reached us and before he could say anything, I gave our answer.

"We'll do it"

A/N: This is me in the future editing this. My writing last year was kind of cringe and I'm too lazy to fix everything so I'm just going to do my best to clean up and the chapters will be better from chapter 10.
