Harry's POV
I am sitting at the table in the burrow. It isn't all that surprising these days because now that I am 17 I no longer call 4 Privet Dr. "home" I never truly did but now I just stay at the burrow with the rest of the Weasleys. I see an owl heading my way, it looks official possibly like it came from Hogwarts. When it flies to the window it avoids hitting it like Errol usually does. Anyway, I am the only one in the kitchen however so I come and collect the letter off of the owl. I quickly scan it and catch a couple key points before yelling up the stairs to get the attention of the rest of the family. Ron is the first one down no surprise there, he apparates everywhere he can. Let it be downstairs to halfway across the continent. Hermione and Ginny are next. Hermione is sliding down the banister with Ginny close behind. Hermione jumps off the banister with ease and lands next to Ron who is asking Hermione to teach him how to do that. Ginny gets off the banister with a significantly less amount of grace, she stumbles and I wrap my arms around her waist as a way to steady her, then she looks up at me and our lips connect for a brief second but then is broken apart again. Then Ron seems to remember that a called and asks

"So Harry what's up mate? What you need?"
"It's Minerva, she wants to meet with us in 2 days time."
"Do you have any idea what for?" Ginny looks at me questioningly.
" Not really," I admit, "but I skimmed over the letter, it said something about Greek mythology, I don't remember exactly. "

Hermione's POV
Oh my god! I finish reading the letter and I am so excited! Ok, so I took the letter out of Harry's hand. He didn't try and stop me, maybe because he didn't want to rip the paper, I'm not sure. I can't wait to see Annabeth again. I haven't seen her since the second or third grade. (A/N Her and Annabeth skipped a grade because they were so smart. Please just roll with it.) After that, I never saw her again. The rumor had been that she had run away but I refused to believe but I don't know anymore. Since this letter, it seems to be clicking into place even her running away seems slightly less crazy. She was at a place called Camp Half-Blood, the idea in itself seems crazy, that there are greek monsters roaming the woods in Manhattan and San Francisco. But not altogether unbelievable. Ron was now reading over my shoulder.

"So they attend a place called Camp Half-Blood?" He seemed confused.
"Yes Ronald," I must have seemed agitated because he put his hands up like he was surrendering. Then Harry said, "what if we play some Quidditch or go swimming in the creek?"
"I'm game, how 'bout you, Ron?"
I also game, Hermione?"
"You know I don't fly well but I'll referee the match."
"We should ask George if he wants to play," Harry said.
"Good idea, I vote Ginny go ask." Of course, it was unanimous.
Ginny walked up the stairs while the rest of us waited with baited breath. When she came down she had George in toe. We let out a breath we hadn't realized we were holding in. George says "I hear that you guys planned a Quidditch match without me but no matter. I'm game." I called being the ref. Brooms and I were not a good combination. I divided the teams as George and Ginny vs. Harry and Ron. I thought it was pretty fair it wouldn't have been fair to put Ron and Ginny together the would have been the superpower team and so would have been Harry and Ginny. This was the fairest pairing I could think of.

Ginny's POV

Hermione divided the teams so Goerge and I are on the same team. it a fair pairing because George had almost no experience playing keeper but I had experience playing chaser. and vise versa Harry had no experience being a chaser but Ron had experience as a keeper. we started playing, I could tell that Harry had been out here practicing. He was as quick as ever. After the game, George and I won 120 to 100 it was pretty close. But after the game, we went back inside to change into some swimming suits. It was hot outside in addition to that we were all sweaty and hot from our game. Once outside Harry and I raced to the creek and jump in. Hermione and my brothers jump in shortly after. We have a splash war, who can make the biggest splash. George won. After that, we played a game that Harry and Hermione called "Hide and Seek" apparently you do just as the name says one person counts while the rest hide then after the person is done counting they have to come and try to find the others. we played 5 rounds, enough for each one of us to be the "seeker" once. After the game, we decided to go back home and change. We changed and when we came back down mom called "kids dinner time!" Wow, the day had flown by. The next day passed by rather uneventfully.

Ron's POV

Finally! today is the day we learn fully why Minerva sent us the letter. It has been on my mind for the last two days, ever since its arrival. No one else seems to be all that intrigued as I am but then again Hermione is just down right excited, for what I am not sure. We leave in 10 minutes yet I haven't seen anyone up and about yet, this seems a little fishy because normally Harry is the first one up in the morning. I decide to creep up to Ginny's room, just to see if Harry is in there. I am not going to be the helicopter brother but I can't speak for George. I peak in thorough the crack in the door and I see Ginny wrapped protectively in Harry arms. Her face is buried in his chest. I then sneak back to my room, where Hermione is camped out. She is still sleeping so I quickly peck her on the lips and pull away.
"Where do you think your going Ronald?" She sleepily mumbles into her pillow.
"well I was going back downstairs to eat some more but if you want me me to-"
"Stay with me Ronald."she seems angry like she thinks I'm silly and tired, but over as ll I think she is just so beautiful.
"Of course I will beauty but we have to get to Hogwarts in approximately 6 minutes." That piece of news seems to hit her hard, she sat up so straight, so fast I think Minerva would be proud.
"Six minutes!!!", she screamed so loud I think she woke the ghoul in the attic.
Waking the ghoul might not seem like a giant deal, he sleeps in the attic, right above my room. Trust me though, that foul could sleep through ANYTHING so if my girlfriend woke him up well that would be a HUGE deal.
