24 - After the Funeral
I don't own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter.
Thalia's pov
After Percy's funeral I want to find Annabeth. The first place I went was her cabin. I swing really think she would be there so I wasn't surprised when she wasn't there. Then I went to the beach and of course she was sitting on the dock with her feet in the water. I walk over and sit down next to her.
"I'm not going to ask you if you are ok because I know you're not," I say. "So, how 'bout you just talk to me. Ok?"
She nods in response. "I knew he was going to die someday. I know I'm going to die someday. Even when we were twelve. I told myself we were both going to die before we turned 16, but then we lived. We lived though so much. Two wars, to many quest to count. I guess I just never thought it would water that would kill Percy. He was so strong when it came to water. I just don't know what to do without knowing he's alive. It's just so weird knowing that this time he's not coming back. I'll never see him again. He's gone."
I pull her into a hug and let her cry. We sit there for a few minutes both of us crying. Then Luke comes up and sat with us. We all hug.
Then an owl flies over and lands by Annabeth. It has a letter tied to its feet. Annabeth takes the letter and reads it. Her face goes pale.
"I have to talk to Chiron," she says jumping up. We follow after her.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
She doesn't answer. We get to the Big House and she goes into Chiron's office. He is sitting behind his desk. He looks up startled when we burst in.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Some of the wizards want to come here to go to Percy's funeral because he was a student at Hogwarts!" Annabeth says.
"Oh, that is a problem," Chiron agrees.
"Ok, what's the problem. The wizards know who we are and we know who they are Right?" Luke says.
"Yes, some of the wizards know that we are demigods but not all of them do. Plus, the camps don't know about the wizards. That's the problem," Annabeth says.
"Why don't we just tell them?" Luke asks.
"We could," Chiron says. "But, that's a lot to take in right after losing Percy. Also, we don't know if all the wizards would keep our secret."
"We also just had Percy's funeral. I don't think it's a good idea to have another one," Annabeth says.
"Well, we have to do something. We can't just say, sorry we don't trust you so, you can't come here," I say.
"Your right, we have to come up with something," Chiron says.
"What if we tell that them that we had the funeral, because we did, and that they can still come and say good bye. We keep them away from camp, they will never know anything about camp. Maybe they can meet Sally. They are only here for three days tops. Then we send them back to Hogwarts and act like the whole thing never happened. Would that work?" Luke says.
Chiron thinks about it for a minute before saying, "it sounds like that is the best idea we have. Let's do it."
So, Annabeth writes a letter back saying that we already had a funeral , but they are welcome to come to the U.S. to meet Percy's parents.
Harry's pov
We are sitting in the Great Hall eating lunch when Dumbledore stands up to make an announcement. "After lunch I need the following students to report to my office. Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Thank you."
The four of us look at each other. Trying to figure out why he wanted us. We finish eating quickly and go up to Dumbledore's office. When we get there there is already people sitting and standing around the desk.
"Mom! Dad!" Ron says.
"Lupin! Sirius!" I say.
"What are you guys doing here?" Hermione asks.
"I asked them to come," Dumbledore says. "I have an important announcement that affects all of you." He pauses. "As you know Percy Jackson passed away the other day. I wrote a letter to Annabeth to asked her about his funeral and if we could attend, as I know Percy has a great impact on your lives. She wrote me back to let me know that they already had the funeral, but we were welcome to come to America to meet his family and say our goodbyes. I have decided that if you want to come you are welcome to. I'm going because he was my student and I would love to meet him family and I needed to bring Luna she Draco back to school."
"Me and my family will be coming," Mrs. Weasley says. Ron doesn't look happy about that. Ginny just nods. Although her and Percy weren't friends Luna was her best friend and Luna was friends with Percy. So, they hung out sometimes.
"Me, Harry, and Lupin will come as well," Sirius says.
The only thing that keeps me from protesting is the thought of Annabeth being there and needing a shoulder to cry on. My shoulder.
"Of course I'll come," Hermione says. "When do we leave?"
"As soon as you all go pack," Dumbledore tells us what to pack and we go to pack.I
Dumbledore's pov
An hour later everyone is back in my office ready to go. Harry is holding Sirius's arm. Hermione is good Lupin's. Ginny is holding her mom's. Ron his dad's.
"Alright, everyone knows where we're going?" I ask. Everyone nods. "Let's go," I say and with that we disappear.
A/N Hi? I'm so, so, sorry I haven't updated this story in a while. I don't have an excuse, besides I was in a really good mood and was writing then my friends texted me and she said some really mean things. We got into a fight and I doing want to write. I know that's not a good excuse, but it's the best I have.
Thanks for reading!!
