It's been a hundred years since I became a house god and im still not used to it. I usually sat at the lake or by the camp fire. The remaining Seven from the prophecy were turned immortal along with Nico. Reyna decided to become a hunter of artemis and Jason amd Frank became the eternal praetors for Rome.

Nico found out the hard way thag I couldn't be to far away from him for a long timeor he'll start to feel excruciating pain. As long as we are both in camp he will be fine.

I asked people to not spread around my accomplishments and if they did not to use my name. I just wanted a quiet life and thats exactly what I got. The new generation of demigods didnt know much about Perseus Jackson and they didn't actually know my name so I was pretty much ignored by them and I loved it. It was so peaceful. The immortal heroes of the prophecy spent alot of time with me when they could, but they were mostly in Olympus or Camp Jupiter. Nico was with me at camp all the time so I wasn't necessarily sad or lonly.

What made me hurt was that some people were scared to come near me because I was ghost. I am not a scary person! Nico is the scary one not me! Im mister happy-go-lucky!

I dont talk much so that rules out the option that I might have said something scary. I was sitting by the flames for a good twenty minutes thinking about why people my think im scary when Nico sat down next to me.

"Percy, there is gonna be a meeting in a few minutes and you have to attend it 'cause you're still the counselor for the Poseidon cabin." Nico and I walked to the big house and some people gave us curious looks. I didn't normally come this way on a daily basis. We walked into the rec room and it was exactly how I remember it. The ping pong table was the same and there were camp councilors surrounding it. When meand Nico walked in people gave me wierd looks. It made me feel so uncomfortable I turned invisible (yeah, I can do that ;P) and hid behind Nico. Nico grabbed me and forced me to become visible again, much to my disliking.

Chiron smiled at me. " Percy, after a hundred years will you finnaly introduce yourself to the new campers, please?" Chiron begged/asked.

I sighed "my name is Perseus Jackson, but please call me Percy. I died one hundred years ago and was brought back by my cousin Nico Di Angelo." I said while pointing to him "I am a son of Poseidon and because im sort of alive I have to be at the meeting." I said a little nervously. The counselors nodded and luckily didn't ask any questions, but the Athena counselor looked like he wanted to.

"Okay now that we have that covered we will start the meeting. There is going to be a quest. We have recently found a group of mortals who have been blessed by hecate and can do magic. But to do so they have to direct there power into a stick called a wand. There is a dark wizard called Lord Voldemort who wants to take over the wizarding world and if he does that the rest of the world will be drastically effected as well. Voldemort has seperated his soul into things called horcroxes(A/N: SORRY NOT SURE HOW TO SPELL THAT!!!) so unless they are destroyed Voldemort cannot be defeated. There is also a boy called Harry Potter who is destined to kill Voldemort so the person or persons going on the quest must protect Harry until he starts hunting the Horcroxes. You will be going to a school for magic called Hogwarts and will act as normal students. Also lord voldemorts followers are called Death Eaters and are distinguished by the tattoo of the dark mark, which is a skull with a snake rapped around it." I was struggling to hold in my laughter. I mean seriously, why is the school named after a pig with skin problems and who in there right mind would eat Thanatos! He would taste disgusting.

A few others were also having the same reaction as me. The Hermes counselor failed to keep it in and started laughing uncontrollably. Chiron rolled his eyes and politely asked her to stop.

"Father has told me about this Voldemort guy. He's caused alot of trouble for dad so I would like to go on the quest." Nico said.

"Okay then, Nico Di Angelo and Percy Jackson will be going on the quest."

"Why is Percy goingon the quest?" The Athena boy asked.

"I am bound to Nico so we cannot be to far apart. I am also his protector."

"What can you do! Your just a creepy ghost." The Ares girl said. I took Riptide out of my pocket and uncapped it. The pen turned into a three foot long celestial bronze sword and I pointed it at her neck. "I asure you I can do many things and I am not some 'creepy' ghost. Im not even creepy!" I said with a lopsided grin. I put Riptide away and the counselors looked at me nervously. "sorry" I mummbled while blushing. The Aphrodite and Apollo counselors laughed a bit.

"You will be leaving tomorrow morning at ten thirty o'clock to board the Hogwarts Express that leaves at eleven. Oh I forgot to mention that the school is in Scotland. You will go to kings cross station and cross platform 9 3/4. You may now go back back to your activities. " Chiron said.

Wow! I couldn't believe the school was so far away. im guessing Nico was going to shadow travel us, but im nlt sure he can handle that distance even with his powers growing stronger after he became immortal. I asked him and he told me he would be fine.

After Nico packed he sat down with me by the flames of the camp fire and we talked about our quest. Nico asked me if I was going to pack. I laughed while ruffling his hair. He blushed realizing how stupid that question was. He went to the Hades after the camp fire was over, but I stayed there, still thinking about the quest. I sighed, I couldn't believe I had gotten my hopes up about having a quiet life now that I was dead.
