Champion of Fire and Magic

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Whatever hopes Percy had of having a normal dream were taken away almost immediately. Percy knew that it was just wishful thinking but since he was in England far away from New York he had hopes that for once his dreams wouldn't be interrupted. Percy was proved wrong right away when his patrons appeared with sour expressions on their faces. His patron Lady Hestia was in her eight year old form with brown hair and warm red eyes. Next to her was his other patron Lady Hecate in the form of a woman in her early twenties with a ever changing face that seemed different every time you looked at it.

"Milady's what can I do for you two." Percy said breaking the awkward silence. It wasn't that Percy was a shy person he just knew that since they had only visited him once since his arrival here that they wouldn't be here now without a valid reason. "We have some grave news Perseus and very little time to explain what is happening so we need you to listen very carefully." Hecate said in a serious tone that left no room for questions or interruptions. Percy nodded his head in understanding because their was no way he was going to interrupt his patron when she looked this serious. All the playfulness from her face was gone and replaced with dread at what she was about to say.

"Camp Half-Blood is coming here to Hogwarts tomorrow for the revealing of the Tri-Wizard Champion revealings. They are having problems with Death Eaters and are coming here. They will not be allowed to participate like you will and their magic will not be as strong as yours because I am not giving them my full blessing. That means they will be like the average student here while you will be one of the best in your year now any questions?" She said once she realized Percy was about to explode from anger.

"What do you mean camp is coming here I came here to get away from them and you're telling me that they're going to be allowed to come here." Percy all but yelled. "How come everything good in my life messes up." Percy asked quietly apparently through with his yelling. "I mean haven't I led a good life?" He asked. "What did I do to deserve this." Hestia moved over to him and pulled him into a warm embrace "Perseus believe it or not your old friends do miss you." Percy laughed a bitter laugh that sent shivers down the two goddesses spines they had never heard him so upset "And what did it take for them to realize that they made a mistake?" Percy asked like he already knew the answer deep down.

"Percy Theseus was banished soon after you. He betrayed the camp to help the remaining titan forces. They are going to try to attack Olympus. The camp has been down ever since they realized what they did to you. The Olympians have been furious since they found out what the big three did to you. Hera has ordered Artemis and her hunters to search for you out in the world and Chiron has been handing out quest after quest for the campers to look for you. They miss you a lot,now I'm not saying you should forgive all of them but you miss your cousins Thalia and Nico and they weren't at camp when all of this happened. And when Thalia found out Annabeth was in the infirmary for almost a week recovering." Hestia said with such honesty in her voice he couldn't help but believe her.

Percy really did miss his cousins. But could he forgive the campers? Those who turned their backs on him for who they thought was the next best hero and once they realized otherwise tried to get him back. I might forgive them but I will never get back together with Annabeth Percy thought and besides Fleur looks way better than her. Wait,Fleur, where did that come from. I mean she is gorgeous Percy thought but do I really like her. Percy didn't notice two goddesses looking at him with knowing smirks on their faces.

"Perseus." Percy looked up to notice that Hecate had been calling his name for a while if the impatient look across her face meant anything. He blushed bright red causing Hestia's eight year old form to giggle at his face. "We have to leave now but make sure you put your name in the goblet of fire." "We will see you again."
