1~Greeks Romans and Now Wizards!
Percy
It was a normal day at camp, well as normal as it ever gets here at Camp Half Blood. The monsters were howling in the woods, an angry god (a.k.a. Mr D) was yelling at a camper for some reason, Clarisse was dumping the head of a new kid down a toilet, the Stolls and Leo were up to no good again and I was sparring with Annabeth. Let me just tell you this now. You do not want to get on her bad side. And don't steal her blueprints. I speak from experience. She will chop you up with her hard cover Fault In Our Stars book, whatever that is, without a second though.
I'm starting to wonder how I survived those last five years with her.
I don't think I introduced myself.
Well, My name is Percy Jackson. Half god. Half mortal.
My dad is Poseidon, the Greek God of the Seas and that comes with a contract for awesome powers over water.
The down side though, I hardly ever see him. The Greek Gods don't hang around.
I defeated Kronos and Gaia, obviously with the help of my friends, I jumped off the Arch, I sailed the sea of monsters, rode motorcycles at a speed that would give my mum a heart attack and did some other crazy, idiotic, stupid and non-heroic stuff.
{Annabeth: He's being modest! They were so totally the-}
{Percy: Shut up, Beth!}
{Annabeth: why you little-}
I've also managed to anger most of the immortals and the big bad monsters of this world.
Annabeth pushed me up against a wall, with her new drakon bone dagger at my throat.
"You loose," Annabeth said in triumph while I just sighed in defeat. "Again." she added as she sheethed her dagger.
Even though, Annabeth was only wearing a tattered camp half blood t-shirt and denim shorts and her blonde hair was tied up in a loose pony tail with wisps of hair flying across her face, she looked like a goddess, which was ironic since she was half goddess.
Someone spoke up from behind us amusedly. I had a feeling she had been watching my epic failure.
"Guys! There's a meeting in the Big House today to discuss a capture the flag game." Thalia informed us.
She was wearing her usual silver tiara and parka. Her quiver, which was full of arrows, was slung across her shoulder and she was holding her bow at her side.
A few summers back, Thalia had accepted Artemis's, the goddess of the hunt and the moon, offer to be an eternal maiden and an immortal. She was now the fist lieutenant of Artemis.
I capped my sword, Riptide, so that it shrank back into a ball point pen. Pocketing it I made our way across to the Big House with Annabeth and Thalia.

"Right, so capture the flag tonight?" Leo confirmed.
"Correct." Chiron replied.
"Cool! Let's get prepared!" Leo said, enthusiastically.
"You may all go now." Chiron said, then added, "All of you except Percy, Annabeth and Thalia. I would like a word with you three, if you don't mind.
"Uh...sure." I said, worriedly.
We stayed back as everyone else filled out of the Big House after the meeting.
All that time, I was thinking about what Chiron had to tell us. Had he found out about the prank the at me and the Stolls played on the Athena cabin that we managed to keep as a secret. I swear, if he tells those Athena kids, my life would be practically on the line and I would not live to be even twenty.
Or had he find out about the-
"Now, you three," Chiron started, cutting me off of my thoughts. "Okay...so, where do I start? Well how about..." He murmured to himself, then he turned and faced us, saying, "Well, alright. So, do you know who wiz-"
Chiron never got to finish his sentence because just then a barn owl came flying through the Big House window, carrying three letters on it's claws. It dropped the letters on the table and settled down on top of a chair, ruffling its feathers.
I picked them up, since I was closer to it.
"It's for..." Squinting in an attempt to read it with my dyslexia, I said, "It's for us."
I passed a letter that had Annabeth's name on it to her and the one with Thalia's name to Thalia.
I ripped open my letter and took out a thick parchment.
It was written in emerald green writing and was literally murder to my eyes.

"Chiron...what...what does this mean?" Annabeth asked uncertainly.
"It means, child, that you are witches and wizards." Chiron answered simply, like it was no big deal.
Thalia burst out laughing. "Wizards! Very funny Chiron now-" she looked up and met with his stern gaze. "You aren't joking are you?"
"No." He assured.
Annabeth looked behind her, just to make sure the Stolls weren't there.
"Wi-wizards? You mean, we're gonna learn how to get a rabbit out a hat at this Hoggy Warty school?" I asked him.
Annabeth and Thalia both rolled their eyes at me but they still looked shocked.
"Yes, wizards and no, you will not be pulling rabbits out of a hat. And, it's called Hogwarts." Chiron corrected me. Once a teacher, always a teacher.
"Well, okay then. What-what are we meant to do now? How are we gonna go there? Where are we gonna buy all this stuff? Where do we need to go?" Thalia asked.
"You will pack your bags and going to Percy's mother's place. Because she is a witch, she'll be able to help you. You will be flying to London as well, might I add?" Chiron answered Thalia.
"Wait! My mum is a witch and she never told me! And do we have to FLY to London?" I complained.
How come my mum never told me she was a witch? And how come we have to fly to London! Anything but flying. My dad has this rivalry with his brother Zeus, the god of the sky and this is a big problem for me because I have to be prepared to be zapped out of the air at a moments notice.
"Yes, Percy your mum is a witch. Annabeth, your dad is a wizard as well. Thalia-" Chiron started but she cut him off.
"Lemme guess, my mum was a witch?" She didn't sound so happy talking about her mum.
"No, you are what they would call muggle born. Your mum is a mortal but you are a demigod and a witch. Jason, unfortunately is not a wizard, though." Chiron explained.
What is a muggle, though?
"What is a muggle?" Annabeth asked Chiron, voicing out my thoughts.
"A muggle, Annabeth, is their term for mortals. Non magical beings. Now enough talking, Sally will explain any other questions you have and you will be leaving to her place this afternoon. So I suggest you start packing." Chiron told us. But as we were leaving he called us back.
"Oh! One more thing, you must not tell any one else at camp that you are wizards and keep the fact that you are demigods a secret for as long as possible at Hogwarts...unless of course, you make close friends with someone." He added as an after thought.
With that on our minds, we left the Big House rec-room and into our cabins. I packed some clothes, the watch Tyson gave me (he re-fixed it), and some other stuff. And of course, Riptide was in my pocket I also packed an album that Annabeth gave me as a present with pictures of all the fun times we had at Camp Half Blood. Hey, you can't blame me. I wasn't going to see this place for a whole year!
We decided to meet at Thalia's Pine at the top of Half Blood Hill after saying goodbye to all our other friends, saying to them that we had to go on another quest...but we had a difficult time explaining the huge trunks we were carrying. When I got to Half Blood Hill, Annabeth and Thalia were already there waiting for me.
"Percy, you are so slow at packing." Annabeth said, turning her stormy gaze on me.
"Sorry, wise girl." I said apologetically, kissing her quickly on the cheek.
"Eew! Cut it out guys!" Thalia said covering her eyes with her hands and gagging. "Hunter of Artemis here!Argus is gonna take us to your apartment Kelp Head, so come on!"
We ran down the hill together to where Argus was waiting for us with the Camp Van.
We got in and headed for my mum's apartment.

A/N
Hey guys!
How was that? How'd I go?
I just wanna tell you, this takes place after the giant war and the wizard war. But the thing is, I'm still reading the Harry Potter books, so I don't know what happens. What I do know is that Fred and Dumbledore dies and Gorge looses an ear or something? Well, Fred Is gonna be alive and nothing is wrong with George. I'm still up to the goblet of fire so please excuse me and correct me where necessary.
Thank you!
Yours truly,
Annabethchase916
