Weeks passed by as the order continued their search for Perseus Jackson. During that time they had focus more on Harry and his run in with a The demetor then finding the dark lord's grandson. Though they were pretty sure he was not in Great Britain. They had narrow him down to either being in France, Bora Bora, or the U.S. It was a late night at Hogwarts ,teachers had just returned from their summer break to now work around the clock for the school year. Albus Dumbledore sat at his desk signing first year letters so they could be sent out. Though he was mostly doing it to avoid the problem of finding a defense against the dark arts teacher. The Ministry wanted to help and he was running out of time. His office door opened suddenly. He jump thinking it would be McGonagle coming for her letters and to scold him that they are not done, but instead it was a very shaken Snape. Snape had just came from a meeting with the death eaters. Frantic to speak to the old wizard his robes were hanging off him and his hair all over the place. His face pale and sweaty. He look just how he look when he came to save Lilly it broke Dumbledore's heart to see him like this agin. "He knows, the Dark Lord knows. He found his daughter and he plans as he said "to cleanse my blood" Albus looked at the man before him with fear. " do you know their location?" Snape nodded. " they live in an apartment in New York." "When do they plan on attacking?" Snapes face fell. " I don't know he chose select few to go. I was not privy to that information, but I believe soon." "We must round up the order, Now."

In New York Sally had just put Percy to bed she was hopeful that he would sleep though the night. He had gotten better, but he still had nightmares. Annabeth refuses to see him and even though Percy doesn't really know her anymore Sally could see that he was upset. She turned on the tv enjoying the peacefulness that see hasn't had since before the war. She heard the door open. She tip toed into the kitchen gadding the biggest knife she could. She walked slowly into the hallway ready to kill any robber or monster that came through the door. Then she saw HIM.

"Paul" her husband. (Ha ,ha ticked you) " Sally what are you doing?" Sally let out a sigh of relief when she saw Paul. "Thought you were a monster." They both laughed. "You know maybe we should get a weapon like Percy has one that pass through mortals." Sally said "I could have killed you" she said jokingly. Paul looked at his wife. It had been a rough year. Lately he has been staying at his parents so he could sleep and get lesson plans ready when school starts. Which is in three weeks. " how is Percy?" Paul asked Sally's smile fell. "I don't know what to do. I am trying. He can't sleep without nightmares I can sometimes wake him up. Annabeth won't help anymore. I can't get him to eat. what if monster come? What if something happens to us? What he grows up to be different then before is that good or bad?" Sally was in tears by then. Paul just held her. " I don't know, but I trust Percy can get better. He always faces challenges head on." Sally nodded

"Mom" Percy called I heard something. " sorry honey it was just Paul." Paul looked at his stepson he could she why Sally was worried. Percy was smaller sure but super skinny for a ten year old. His natural tan was gone and he had dark rings under is eyes. " hey, bud!" Paul said bending down to Percy's new level. " Let's getup u back to bed, and will let you mom rest." Sally mouthed "thank you" just as Paul was about to lead Percy to bed the door knob jingled. The three of them stopped it was past ten no one came to their door that late. "I will go check that out, you guys stay here."

    Paul went to the door, but before he could open it, it flew open. "Avada Kedavara" Percy watched in horror as Paul's face went pale and he fell into a hep on the floor. Percy tried to run to him, but his mother pulled him back. Three Cloaked figures moved toward the mother and son. Sally pulled inside the kitchen where they were able to peek over the counter and watch the intruders. Each figure wore a mask that made them look like skeletons. They each were holding a smooth stick. " keep searching we need to find them" the tallest one said. He seemed to be the one in charge. The man held himself in a regal manner. He had that rich, snobby vibe. His long blond hair flew behind him as he waltzed around Sally's small apartment. The other two were definitely his lackeys. Both ere short and stout by comparison their sticks (wands) didn't have silver casing like his, but the followed him whole heartily. They were going to find the dark lord's grandson or it would be the death to them literally.
