28 - Still Getting Ready for War (Kind of)
I don't own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter.
Annabeth's pov
I sigh an old friend showing up is not usually a good friend. "Who?"
"You remember the Nobody trick?"
I gasp "He's here?" I ask scared. Last time I had to use that trick it almost got me, Grover, and Percy killed. Not that we don't almost get killed on a daily basis that time was just really scary.
"No!" Melcom quickly says. "Just a friend from that same summer."
I try and think back to that summer. I don't remember most of it but, the big things that stand out to me are; make up, ships, singing, sneaking out of Camp, Nobody, Chiron being gone, Thalia's tree dying, Thalia coming back to life. I also have this weird memory of Luke telling Percy not to walk on the roof of his ship but, that must have been a dream. Oh, and Guinea pigs.
"Sorry, I'm lost," I say.
"Remember who came when Mr. B had to leave? "
Then it hit me. "He's here?!"
"Yeah, and he's saying that he is going to take Mr. B's job!"
"Ok, let's go!" I followed my brother out to the van. He got in the driver seat and I got in the passenger seat. We drive back to camp. We hurried to the Big House. Once we get inside I look around. Tantalus is standing in front of the fireplace. All of the counselors, Chiron, and Mr. D are standing in front of him.
"Tantalus, what are you doing here? How are you here?"
He turns to look at me. "Oh, Annabeth! I remember you!" He says excitedly. "As for why I'm here, I just wanted to show you something new I can do."
"And what's that?" I ask.
"This!" He cries as he grabs the diet coke Mr. D is holding. Then he drinks it. Everyone gasps in shock. After he finishes drinking it He speaks again. "I'm also here to take back my job."
"It was never your job!" Clarisse says sounding very mad. She takes a step forward.
"Clarisse," I warn. "How are you here and how are you doing that?"
He turns to look at me gives me a very creepy smile and says "I'm here the same way your friends are here, something is very wrong in The Underworld."
While Tantalus is looking at me Luke and Leo sneak up behind him. They take a rope and tie him up. Clarssie walks in front of him with her spear.
"Can I kill him?" She ask.
"Not yet. We need to see what information we can get out of him," I tell her.
"I won't talk!" Tantalus declares.
"We'll see about that," I tell him. "Now we have a war to fight. Back to training!"
We put Tantalus in the basement with two of Clarssie's brothers watching him and everyone goes to train. I head back to the city to tell The Gods about the war.
Harry's pov
After Annabeth and that boy ran off we went to the top floor of the Empire State Building. Then we went to some shops and looked around. We didn't buy anything just looked. Then we got lunch at a fast food place.
Us kids sit at one table and the adults sit at another.
"Who did you think that boy was?" I ask.
The other shrug or say that they don't know. I look out the window.
"Hey! Look!" I say pointing out the window. There is Annabeth. She is standing next to a woman who looks like the older version of her. They seem to be arguing.
"She looks mad," Ron says.
"I'm going to see if she's ok!" I say.
"Harry, I don't think that's a good idea," Hermione says.
I am already heading outside. I'm quick and quite so, the adults didn't see or hear me. I hide so, that Annabeth and that woman didn't see me.
"All I'm saying is that maybe his death wasn't the worst thing," The Woman says. "You know I never liked that boy or his father. "
Annabeth looks very mad. "Yes, Mother. I know that you didn't like Percy or his father but, I don't care. I love him and you can't change that!"
"No, Annabeth, Dear, You loved him. Pasted tense. He's dead. You will find a nice boy, who has a nice father and mother and you will marry him."
"No! I won't because I still love Percy and I will never stop loving Percy!"
Someone squeals beside me. I turn and look, it's a lady. I feel like I've seen her but, at the same time it almost looks like her face keeps changing.
"Sorry," she says. "I'm just the BIGGEST Percabeth shipper of all time! I've shipped them since I was born!"
"Do I know you?" I ask.
"No, but, you know my daughter, Piper!" She tells me happily. Then she frowns and her eyes turn dark. "And you need to stop trying to break Percabeth apart. Whether they are dead or alive they will always be together. So, if you don't stop trying to break them up I will break you," Her eyes go back to normal and she smiles, "Good, her mom's gone!" She hurried over to Annabeth calling "Oh, Annabeth!"
Annabeth groaned. "What are you doing here?" She asks.
"Well as I was telling that nice boy over there-"
"What boy?"
"That one," Piper's mom says pointing at me.
"Harry! What are you doing?"
"I was eating and I looked out the window and I saw you. It looked like you fighting with that lady so, I came out to talk to you. There she appeared out of nowhere and started talking about 'Percabeth'. Whatever that is."
She looks very mad. "Whatever, I was coming to find you guys anyway. I need to bring you back to Camp." Then she said something under her breath that sounded like, "We have a war to fight."
We head back into the restaurant. Leaving Piper's mom outside talking to a couple she found sitting on a bench.
Molly's pov
I look up when I hear the door open. Annabeth is standing there with Harry.
"Harry! Where were you? Why didn't you tell us where you were going?"
"He was with me," Annabeth says as if that makes everything better. She walks over to Snape. "I need to talk to you."
He gets up and follows her outside. I look out the window. Whatever she is telling him she looks scared. The color drains from his face. He nods and says something to her. She shakes her head and says something. This goes on for about two minutes before they come back in.
"Change of plans," Snape says. "We're going to The School. Follow us."
Annabeth leads us out to a van. The same can we took to get to Sally's apartment. "Get in," Annabeth says. She looks tense and keeps looking around like she's waiting for some to come out and kill us. We all quickly get in. I pull the door closed behind me and look up front that's when I realize the boy from The Empire State Building is sitting up front. Annabeth gets in and turns to the boy. "Start driving, I'll explain what's going on."
She then tells us that The Greek Gods are real. Her mother is Athena and the boy driving is her older half brother Melcom. All of her friends that came to Hogwarts are demigods too. We are going to a Greek Camp to get ready for another war. They're not sure who the war is going to against yet becasue, their prisoner refuses to talk. "I'm about to let Clarssie beat him up until he talks," she says.
Melcom laughs at that. "She'd kill him before he can open his mouth."
"Yeah, I guess she would I just don't know how to get him to talk."
"Have you given Piper a chance?"
"No, she want to Camp Jupiter with Jason to get The Romans. I'll let her as soon as they're back."
Then we pulled up to a hill.
"We're here," Melcom says.
A/N I know I said I would post this on Wednesday and now it's Friday but, I got a little busy with school work. So, I'm sorry about that. I hope you guys like this chapter I got kind of lost on how to end it but, I think I did an ok job. Next chapter on Monday/Tuesday.
Thanks for reading, Alex.
