~Annabeth~

I waited outside the Great Hall waiting to hear my name. I wanted to be able to focus on the beautiful marble staircase or the beautifully carved wooden double doors, behind which was the Great Hall, where Percy awaited. Percy, that was why I couldn't focus, Percy was right through those doors.

"Today we are welcoming our second exchange student, Annabeth Chase," I heard the headmaster Dumbledore say. The double doors to the hall swung open. I almost groaned this was a much more dramatic entrance than I had intended it to be. Every single person in the hall was staring at me, as I began to walk down the gap between two tables, one was clad in yellow and one in blue. My eyes scanned the room until they wrested on Percy.

Suddenly I didn't care that hundreds of strangers were watching me, I didn't care what they thought of me. All that I wanted to do was run straight to Percy and give him a massive kiss. So that was exactly what I did.

"Hey Wise Girl," Percy grinned at me once we broke apart.

"Seaweed Brain," I mumbled through a grin.

"Miss Chase could you please make your way up to the stall, so you can be sorted you're your house," a woman wearing emerald robes and a pointy hat. The woman was standing right next to a three-legged stall at the front of the hall, and she was holding a very old and battered looking hat. I squeezed Percy's hand and walked forwards towards the stall, which I sat down on. The woman placed the old looking hat onto my head.

Nothing happened for a moment, then the hat started speaking in my head, which gave me a bit of a shock, "You might belong in Ravenclaw," said the hat, "but I can't decide what house you belong in if you won't let me see your memories, how's about you let me see what you're hiding?' It asked.

"Ok," I thought, "I'll show you," and then I let all my memories of Tartarus flood my head. I saw Nyx and bob and Damsen, I felt the loneliness that had consumed me when I was under Calypso's curse from the Arai.

The hat went completely silent in my head, saying nothing else, until it yelled, "Gryffindor!" I pulled the hat off and saw the table that Percy was sat at all stand-up and applaud. I got to my feet and passed the hat to the witch in emerald robes. Based upon the fact that Percy's table was applauding, I assumed that this was the house I had been sorted into. I hurried over and sat down next to Percy.

A single tear slid down my face as I sat down. I hadn't let myself relive Tartarus for quite some time, those memories spent most of their time locked away in a high-security vault in the back of my brain. Percy slid his arm around me and gave me a reassuring squeeze, letting me know that he was there for me no matter what and that he understood.

"I love you, Seaweed Brain," I said.

"I love you too Wise Girl," he replied.

And then I knew that I never wanted to be apart from him ever again. We could do anything as long as we were together.
