HERMIONE POV

When Percy said he was a son of Poseidon i was shocked. That would make him powerful, super powerful. Then he began explaining his life story and showed us those dreadful scars. My respect for him shot through the roof, but so did my pity of him. What a hard life. Compared to Percy, Harry had it easy.

"When do you think he will come up?" Ron asked Mark. Soon after Percy had left, Mark told us he was a son of Ares and had also attended camp half-blood.

"Zeus knows. He once stayed under the lake in Manhattan for a whole day. Being the son of Poseidon has it's perks." Mark said wistfully staring out at the lake.

"Maybe we should head back in and wait for him in the common room, plus McGonigal is handing out our timetables for tomorrow." I said. They all nodded, and we headed back in.

When we got to the common room McGonigal was handing out our plans. She turned when she heard the door open.

"Ah here you go Mr Potter, Malfoy, Wealey and Miss Granger. Do you know where Mr Jackson is?" She asked. We all looked at each other worridly. We knew she knew Percy was a demi-god, but she didn't know we knew. Eventually, it was Mark who saved us.

"He said something about going for a swim with Kymata." McGonigal nodded and handed me a second sheet of paper.

"I trust you to get this to him Miss Granger." And with that she left. The four of us made our way to a table in the corner, waiting and praying for Percy to come back. It was only now i realised i had missed lunch. Bummer.

After half an hour of tense conversation and waiting the door swung open revealing a certain son of Poseidon. He saw us and froze.

"Hey guys." He said, training his eyes on the ground and squirming uncomfortably.

"Look Perce we are sorry for prying, we just wanted to know. Just know that we understand the past is hard and you probably don't want our pity but we are here for you if you need us." He nodded and took a seat at our table.

"Guys your going to have to promise not to tell anyone, i have already had a fight with a bunch of hellhounds and just then a Chimera. We don't need anyone freaking out because there is a half-god in school." He laughed a little, causing us all to relax. The old Percy was back. He suddenly turned to Mark.

"I think the doors of death might be open again. With Gaea rising and Kronos reforming the monsters have been going wild. I struggled with that Chimera." Percy had a look of defeat all over his face. Mark looked scared.

"If they are open we need to contact Chiron." Luckily for me i had read the ancient greek book in the library and knew Chiron was the immortal trainer of heroes. Harry and Ron weren't so fortunate.

"Who's Chiron?" Percy pulled a small golden coin out of a small bag. Ky hissed something to him and he hissed back. He then looked to us.

"Why don't i show you."

PERCY POV

I ran into the boys bathroom, shortly followed by Mark, Hermione, Harry and Ron. I stood the three wizards in the corner of the room and cast a quick incantation with the help of Ky.

"απόκρυψη αυτών των οδηγών από τον Χείρωνα, χρησιμοποιούν τη δύναμη του φιδιού γλώσσας με τη βοήθεια των κυμάτων ολοκληρωθεί αυτό το ξόρκι." Ky glowed a bright green as the spell hid the wizards, then dulled as it settled. I could still see them, but Chiron wouldn't be able to. I waved my hand, willing the water to create a mist. I threw in one drachma.

"Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me Chiron, camp half-blood." The mist shimmered until Chiron stood before me, in centaur form.

"Chiron!" He turned and smiled at me, then frowned.

"Percy my boy, as glad as i am to see that you are okay, i'm sensing somethings wr-." Then he spotted Mark and his eyes widened.

"Mark! How nice to see you my boy. How have you been?" Chiron said. Mark smiled back, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"I'm good, but i'm afraid we have some bad news." He said grimly. Chiron looked between us questioningly.

"We think the doors of death might be open again." I said emotionlessly. The smile was wiped right of off Chiron's face. He looked like he was trying to reign his thoughts in.

"Well thats certainly intres-." He was cut of as Thalia literally fell into the picture. She glared upwards.

"Travis i swear to high Zeus that i will-oh hey Percy- anyway i will- PERCY!" She finally realised that it was me and i could see she was both angry and happy.

"WHERE IN HADES NAME ARE YOU! YOU GO MISSING JUST MONTHS AFTER THE WAR FINISHES AND DON'T BOTHER TO EVEN IM ME! BOY WHEN I FIND YOU I WILL CUT OFF YOUR." Chiron stepped in.

"Thalia, i think thats enough. I will explain everything to you later. For now just gather the cabin leaders." She nodded, glared at me once more and left. I let out a small breath and both Chiron and Mark burst out laughing. I crossed my arms and pouted.

"It's not funny, and shouldn't we be talking about the doors rather than my overly aggressive girlfriend." Chiron seemed to snap back to reality after that.

"Yes i shall contact Dumbledore on what to do immediatly. For now though, i think i should tell the cabin leader where you are. They all just think your at home with Sally. Goodbye children, stay safe." With that he swiped through the mist, cancelling the call.
