June's POV

When I got to cabin 9, I knocked on the door. Oh, I forgot to tell you. After Piper gave me my present, she told me to come here for even more presents. Leo opened the door, greeted me, and told me to come in. I came in and sat down next to where Sil, Callie and Nico were already seated. They all had boxes similar to Piper's.

"Hi June! We called you here to give you our presents ourselves." Callie said. She handed me hers first. When I opened the box, I saw a beautiful, silver moonlace charm. They must have known Pipes got me a charm necklace! I immediately clasped the charm to my necklace. It looked lovely.

"Thank you, Calypso!" I said softly. She smiled at me.

"Not only that, the charm is enchanted, so that when you press the little button in the side, it transforms into a dagger. When you press the moonlace on the dagger, it turns into the charm again." She said excitedly. I tried it. The dagger was white, with pretty designs etched into the sides. It was amazing. I thanked Callie again. Next was Nico's gift. It was a hellhound charm that turned into a Stygian Iron sword. I blushed. He knew I had always wanted a sword like that. Leo's was a fire charm that turned into red armor. Silena's was a heart charm that turned into a dagger identical to hers. I thanked all of them, and left for my cabin. In the way, I heard someone call me from my right.

"June! Juuneee!" It was Percy's voice. I turned, and saw him and Annabeth, each carrying another tiny box.

"June, can you come with us to Cabin 3? We have to give you our presents." Annabeth said.

"Sure!" I said wearily, already tired from recieving so many gifts. Sometimes, popularity sucks. When we arrived, instead of coming inside, we sat in the porch steps. Perce got me a wave charm, and Anna got me a silver A charm. None of them had weapons, thank the gods. I would have so many weapons, I wouldn't know which ones to use. I thanked the two, spun to leave, when I see a owl flying in the distance. Did I ever mention I love owls? No? Ok. I love owls. ;). When I look closer, I notice the owl is flying towards me with a letter in its claws. When it landed in front of me, it extended its leg. I took that as a sign to take the parchment. I opened it and this is what I read:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Miss McLean,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You were supposed to receive this letter two years ago, but we met some complications, and could not send it. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress

When I finished the letter, my mouth was already open. Percy and Annabeth seemed to notice, and asked if they could read the letter. I said yes. When they saw the paper, they gave it back to me, because it was in English and they have dyslexia when I don't. I read it aloud to them, and they had the same reactions as I did.

"Is this a prank?" I asked. They shook their heads. Then I remembered the Stolls.

"STOLLS! THIS ISN'T FUNNY" I yelled. They were no where in sight, though. Chiron came galloping by. He asked what was wrong, and I showed him the letter. He turned stern. That somehow made me believe it wasn't a joke.

"Come to my office, and we can discuss this." He said. I went to his office.

"Listen. Your father is a wizard. He studied in Hogwarts, where you got the letter from. You inherited those traits, so you are a "demi-witch", pretty much. The letter was delayed because you are extra-magical, so to speak. You have a godfather and a god sister named Remus and Rose Lupin. You can spend the rest of your summer there, if you wish. They will take you to Hogwarts, and such." He said. I nodded really fast. He chuckled. I'm going to meet my family! Eeek! I wonder if I will like them...
