Percy POV

Hagrid forced me to sit down and explain. I wasn't great at explaining in the first place but that time I was so tired I had a massive battle not to let my eyes droop and snooze off.

" I don't know how ter help ye Perce," Hagrid sighed. He was hesitating hard until a grin lit his face up. " I know! Yer will go to Sirius, 'Arry's godfather!"

I had heard Harry mention him before and he seemed to adore him. I agreed. Hagrid left the room and returned a moment later with a mug. " This is what will get ye there. Touch it! Ye'll be there in a minute or so."

A minute passed before I felt nausea travelling from my stomach to every part of my body. My whole being was thrown into the mug and I banged onto the floor of the other side. My ears pricked on the sound of gasps.

Annabeth POV

Harry had had this futuristic vision about a snake biting Mr Weasley and he turned out to be correct. I completely understood him but the others were freaking out. Hermione wasn't with us and Professor McGonagall had woken us up swiftly after Harry recounted his vision. He was in the middle of describing it to the twins and Ginny when we heard a bang and someone dropped to the floor.

I gasped. The person turned around and I spotted his familiar face.

" Percy?" George dared him to object.

" That's my name!" he mumbled as he got up.

He had lost weight since I last saw him. His face was covered with scars, red marks and dark circles under his eyes. He could barely stand and was about to topple over but luckily Tyson caught him and seated him.

" What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be locked up in a cell?" I asked.

" Gee I missed you too! Thanks for the warm welcome!" he replied.

I exchanged a look with Thalia and Ginny. Sirius entered the room.

" Well who do we have here? What's your name boy?" he asked.

Percy began from the start. The coughed and sneezed several times but he got there in the end and slumped back in his seat once he had retold everything. Sirius looked flabbergasted. He gave him a butterbeer and handed the rest of us second helpings. Fred and George had already drunken four bottles so they were practically drunk. I awkwardly scrolled through Deadulus's laptop. I came across some strategies that I had been planning for the big battle for the next summer when Percy would turn sixteen. I looked at him now. He had dozed off with his jaw slightly loose and small drops escaped his mouth. I half snorted.

I thought back to the last conversation I had with Chiron. He asked me to think about strategies.

" Guys we've got to think about our battle! Any ideas?" I broke the silence.

The others looked exhausted and I suddenly felt guilty for asking.

" Can't Percy, Nico and Thalia do their godly powers thing together and create utter chaos?" Silena made an intelligent comment.

" Good point but I don't think it'll be strong enough to kill off a titan and his army!" I said.

The wizards gawped at us.

" So what's with this titan battle thing?" Ron asked intrigued.

" When one of the children of the three main gods turns sixteen they have to make a choice that will either save or destroy the gods," I said. " Thalia became immortal last year just a day before her sixteenth birthday so it all falls to Percy's shoulders."

The others looked at him mournfully but when they saw him drooling they burst out laughing. It wasn't the Weasleys' usual delightful laugh but one between fake and delightful.

After a few hours of waiting Mrs Weasley sent a message saying that everything was fine for the moment and Sirius insisted for us to go to bed. We all finally agreed and we parted to the separate rooms. I slipped into my pyjamas and put the laptop away. Ginny had already passed out on her bed so I just threw a blanket over her. She looked so sweet when she was asleep and she was so sweet when she was awake too. I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Percy POV

I didn't know what was the time when I got up but it was around midday. Mrs Weasley was back and was preparing lunch when I went into the kitchen. All the others had bags under their eyes and looked slightly scruffy and I was sure I wasn't much better. After lunch I fished for a drachma.

" Annabeth, do you have a spare drachma?" I asked her.

She thurst her hand in her jeans pocket and got out a drachma. I muttered a thanks and thundered up the stairs and locked myself in the room so it could be private.

" Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, show me Sally Jackson of Manhattan!" I said as I threw the drachma in the air.

It took a moment to load but a minute or so later Mom stood smiling.

" Hey Mom!" I greeted.

" Perseus Jackson where the heck have you been? A month of no sign. A month! I was worried sick!" she complained.

" I can explain!" I offered.

I told her as much as I could as quickly as I could. She questioned me to no end until I said that I needed to go and that my friends were waiting for me.

" I love you Percy."

" I love you too Mom."

--------------------------

A/N No cliffies this time! I really hope you liked it. Not much action but at least the characters are back together. I'm trying to find a better cover for this book so if anyone is interested then PM me. I would love you forever and ever if you checked out my new fanfic 'The Lunar Chronicles Facebook Chats'. It already has 100+ reads for 13 days. I am trying really hard to make this a good fanfic because all of the crossovers I've read before have cliches and are similar if not the same. Is there anything I could do better? Please tell me in the comments.

We're very close to 1K! DFTBA,
