FOURTEEN NEVILLE
For now on, if you sea a pun, comment it. (Examples: if you sea what I mean, or witch one is Conner? [or is it Connor?])
I can't believe it.
Percy just had a TOTALLY RANDOM thought.
We were all silently thinking about how Hermione and Luna were missing when Percy gasped.
"What?" I asked.
"I just realized something," Percy replied.
"What?" I asked again. Both my grandma and I were eager for anything that could help us find out missing friends.
"I never got an owl at Diagon Alley!" The whole room was silent as we just started at him. Here we were, thinking about our missing friends when Percy brought up something totally unrelated.
"What?" I asked after about two minutes of staring at him trying to disappear from our stares. "How did you get that thought from this?"
"I have ADHD," he answered. "I think. Do I have ADHD? I think I have dyslexia too. That's why I can't read very well. I've never read a book as crazy as our lives. All the nightmares. Oh the nightmares and visions are terrible! I think-"
"You have ADHD," I interrupted. "You definitely have ADHD. So how did you get to the owl thought?"
"Well," he started, "I was thinking about your friends Hermione and Luna and about how they're missing. Then I thought, 'what about Mr. Noseless from my dreams? Could it have been him?' Then it was like I wonder why he didn't have a nose? What happened to it? Maybe he lost it because of frostbite or something. It could have been snowing very hard and it could've been cold. It would be bad if his nose fell off on Christmas. That would be like the opposite of the Christmas presents from the fictional person Santa. And you guys use owls to deliver stuff. Wouldn't that be easier to use to send Christmas presents than a big carriage and reindeer? It would be useful to have owls to send letters. Oh yeah, I never got an owl!
"So, yeah. That's how I got to how I don't have an owl," Percy concluded.
"Wow," I said.
After a few moments of silence, an owl flew in with a letter.
We read it, though it took a little while for Percy.
"I just had an idea," Percy said. "Since I really want to sea Annabeth, can we send her a letter, have the owl find her, then arrange a time we can meet?"
"That's a good idea," Neville said. "Wait, so you used to not be very smart? How did you suddenly become smart?"
"I must've learned," he replied. "Or maybe I've gone through some evolutionary process. Or- I don't know... maybe it's something magical. Or maybe... doing the same thing twice, even if I don't remember the first time, can help someone learn from their mistakes."
"So, I'll write a letter," Percy said.
"You sure? You are dyslexic," I said.
"I want to do it," he said. "I might spell things wrong, but probably nothing worse than that."
"Okay," I replied, giving him some parchment and a quill.
"Thank you," he said, taking it and starting to write.
Five minutes later, he finished writing a long letter. He must've had a lot to say.
Then I looked at the words.
"Percy!" I exclaimed. "That isn't even English!"
Percy said, "what?" And looked back at the letter. He looked surprised to see it wasn't the language he thought he was writing in. "Oh."
"What language is that? What does it say?" I asked.
"Greek," he said without hesitation, but then we looked even more confused. "It says...."
Then Percy started speaking gibberish.
"Stop, Percy, stop!" I shouted.
"What?" He asked.
"You were speaking another language. Greek, I would guess," I answered.
"Oh, okay," he said. "So I wrote:"

"I also put in a copy of the letter we just got and an explanation of who Draco is." Percy said.
"Do think she can read Greek?" I asked.
"Absolutely!" He responded.
"How do you know?" I was curious. He just shrugged.
As the owl sped out the window to find Annabeth, Percy said, "I hope she gets it."
