I wake up the next morning to a blinding light. I get dressed and head downstairs. Everyone was already down there talking and eating. I go to Hermione and pull her over.
"What's up?" She asks.
"There's one problem about the tutoring."
"What's that?"
"I have dyslexia."
"You have dyslexia."
"I can only read Greek. Most demigods have dyslexia. I'm one of them." I say.
"It's ok. I'll help you read. But professor snaps may not be as helpful as other teachers."
"Just means homework. Great."
"Hey Ash? I need to be heading back to camp. Ron's family will be helping you."
"I'll call when I can." He hands me some drachmas.
"Be careful not to tell anyone your a demigod." He walks out and I tuck the money away. I head over to the table.
"Did Percy just tell you the news?" Ron asks.
"Yes. He also told me not to tell anyone else I'm a demigod."
"Man! I was hoping to learn more about that stuff!" Ron says sadly.
"Eh. You can pester me about other stuff at your house."
"Wait did I just here-" Fred starts.
"-that Ashley will be staying at our house?" George finishes.
"Mum didn't tell you? I guess you were the only ones."
"Hey Ron, at your house, there's something a want to test."
"You can test anything on us!" Fred says.
"I think Ron would be the only one ok with it though."
"Wait, ok with what?" Ron asks.
"Well since you aren't fully mortal, I wanted to see if my weapons could hurt you."
"Weapons? Where are these weapons." Mr Weasley asks coming up.
"N-No where!" I stutter.
"Ashley, there are no weapons allowed at school. Hand them over."
"Even if I did, they would just appear back on me." I say. It is true. If I go to far away from my weapons, they turn back into a charm on my braclet.
"Like I would believe that. When we get to my house, you will hand them over," Later in the day when we head over to there house I go to there backyard. "Now, where are the weapons." I start to take a charm off my braclet one by one and he stares at me amazed. Finally the last charm on was my wand. On the ground in front of me was around 10 weapons.
"Hey Ash. What's-" Ron stares at the pile of weapons. "Where did these come from?!" He yells.
"Where did what?" Mrs Weasleys falls over in shock at the weapons. I take the dagger and walk up to Ron.
"This shouldn't do anything," I trace my dagger across his arm. No blood. I bring it up to his wrist and bring it straight down. Nothing. "Did it hurt? Anything?"
"No. But how did the weapon not hurt me?!?!" He screams.
"Celestial bronze is only supposed to hurt monsters. It won't hurt mortals. And now I know it won't hurt wizards." I put the weapon back in the pile.

-The next day-

The entire day yesterday was them trying to find a way to keep the weapons away from me. But wherever we went, the weapons would appear back on my braclet. They even took away the braclet but it just appeared back on my hand.
"Well kids, time for school! Ashley dear, stay back. Dumbledore is going to pick you up." I say goodbye to everyone as they leave. All the sudden I hear a loud crack and see dumbledore.
"Ready to go?" He puts out his arm and I grab it. All the sudden there was a lurch and we appeared in a castle.
"This is school?" I say amazed. He pulls up an old fashion hat.
"This hat will sort you into your proper room. After you get sorted, you will go down to the train and act as if you got there like everyone else. Ok?" I put on the hat and start hearing a voice inside my head.
"Oh! Amazing! A demigod! Daughter of Posiden eh? Very cunning be put even braver. I think I should put you in... GRYFFINDOR!!" I smile and go down. Ron said that's what house they were in.
"Ok, time for you to go down." He waves his wand over me and I appear in a carraige with my friends already in my clothes.
"Ash? Where did you come from?" Harry asks.
"I don't really know..." I say looking around. My eyes land on the horses.
"Hello there." I almost jump out of my seat at the sudden voice. I look around and see a girl holding a magazine upside down.
"H-Hello." I stammer.
"I'm guessing you see them too?" She asks.
"The horses? Can't everyone see them?"
"What horses? Harry said he saw them too but I see nothing!" Hermione says. I turn to the horse.
"How come some of us can see you and some can't?" I ask. It neighs.
"We horses can only be seen by those who have seen death. We have been called bad omens. We don't like to be seen much." I smile.
"Did you just talk to a horse?" Ron asks.
"That's for me to know and you to never find out." I smile as we reach the castle.
"So what house did you get in?"
"Gryffindor!" I say happily.
"And what do you think about the castle?"
"I think Annabeth would love it..." I mumble. They bring me to the table and sit down across from them. Then, Fred and George sit next to me.
"So you ended up in Gryffindor."
"That's great for us!"
"Now we have all year to swoon you over."
"When will this stupid quest end..." I mutter under my breath.
"What?"
"Oh nothing! Now, what's for dinner?" All the sudden plates of food appears.
"Cool isn't it?" Fred smiles.
"Only problem is they only serve water." I smirk.
"Can't you just make hot chocolate? Warm up the water, then add some chocolate."
"Chocolate needs milk, not water." Fred says.
"I use water." I grab some chocolate and wave my hand over the water. It starts to boil. I start to crumble the chocolate in and stir it. I cool down the water a bit and hand it to Fred.
"How did you warm up the water? Your wand isn't out."
"Well you see..." I start to rub the back of my head.
"Ash can use wand less magic. She can only make water hotter or colder." Harry says.
"Wicked." Fred takes a drink and looks at the hot chocolate amazed.
"Does it really taste like hot chocolate?" George asks.
"It's amazing!" He says drinking more.
"Hey let me try!" George says trying to grab some.  I back up at bit.
"Can you show me where the room is?" I ask Harry. The three stand up. I head to the girls dorm and relax in my bed.
"Do you want me to help you with dyslexia?" Hermione asks.
After awhile of studying English I understood a bit.
"I think I might go outside."
"But the demintors!"
"Demigod with weapons that kill monsters. Don't they hate light?"
"Yeah. Ok, ok, just be careful." I head out and luckily no one was in the common room. I head outside and walk around for a bit looking for the entrance.
"Man, why couldn't Annabeth come?" I mutter. "She'd know her way around here in under a minute." I start to walk till I finally run into a door with one person.
"Oi! Student out of bed!" He says to me.
"Can I please go outside?" I say using charm speak. He hesitates before moving out of the way and opening the door. I head out and start to run. When I reach the lake surprisingly, there were no dementors. I sit down when I person walks up to me. I could tell it wasn't anything evil. I get a sick feeling in my stomach if they are. It was the boy from the other day. The one that hates my brother.
"Hello." He says sitting beside me.
"How did you get outside?" I ask him.
"I saw you walking around confused so I sorta followed you. I'm sorry for the way I acted yesterday. Me and Potter don't really see eye to eye." He says.
"It's ok. I understand rivals." I still remember Clarisse and Percy. They used to hate each other.
"Your the only one I don't really close up to." He rubs the back of his neck.
"Really? I never knew." I say sarcastically. I stand up and start to walk over to the water.
"A-Are you going swimming?" He stutters.
"Yeah. Why? It's not like anything will get wet." I dive in the water and appear at the top. I smile over at Draco. I don't know if it was because I couldn't see well, but I think he was blushing. We were talking and playing for what seemed like hours. Finally I went to my room and fell asleep.
