Chapter 1: In the beginning

Chapter Text

Burrow 

Ottery St Catchpole

Devon, England

August 18th 1993

The Weasley family was celebrating Percy's 1sth birthday. 'Molly I would like you to meet my girlfriend Alice' says Fabian as he introduces his girlfriend to his little sister as well as his nephews. Alice looked at Percy curiously as though she recognized the child's father.

Percy had black hair and sea green eyes as opposed to the red hair and blue eyes of his older brothers. Alice pulled Molly aside, 'Molly is Perseus the son of Poseidon' asks Alice as she waits with baited breath for the answer.

'Yes he is' says Molly in disgust at herself since she never expected anyone to learn the truth. Thunder boomed outside as a monsterous roar was heard from outside, Alice froze as she recognized the creature.

Suddenly in the place of the black hair and brown eyed woman with modest clothes was a woman that radiated pure power. 'The wife of Zeus is protecting this illegal child' says a cruel voice, the voice of Alecto one of her brothers furies.

'Enough Alecto go back to my brother's realm. I have spoken with the fates and he is the prophecy child' says Hera as she glares at the furies until they finally left. The room was silent and the silence could be cut with a knife.

'Alice can you take him away. I don't want this cursed child here any longer' says Arthur with a coldness in his tone as he picks up Bill and Charlie to bring them to their room. 'Molly Arthur are you sure that you don't want Perseus anymore' asks Fabian in surprise.

'Percival his name is Percival. Beside he doesn't have any magic, it will be easier for him to grow up in a non magical house hold. He will feel more at ease without knowing all that we can do' says Molly in a dismissive tone.

Hera summoned Percy's belongings which consisted of a stuffed whale and that was it. Hera frowned and then she smelt the sea breeze of her younger brother, 'Poseidon where are you going to bring this child' asks Hera.

The 2 immortals looked at the child who was wearing only a diaper and not much else considering the heat of the evening, 'She said that he had no magic and that they didn't want Perseus anymore. Let's go talk with Hecate' says Poseidon.

Poseidon and Hera flashed to New York, more specifically to Hecate's Mansion the Manse in Gramercy Park. 'Poseidon Hera what do you want' asks Hecate harshly, she had no love for the Gods. Hera explained what happened in England.

Hecate frowned in annoyance over the dismissal of a child, 'Poseidon, Hera there isn't much that I can do as Perseus does in deed have a magical core' says Hecate. As if on cue, Percy made his whale toy float and spray water.

'I see but his mother refuses to have him. Is there any way for you to remove Percy from what ever magic school, he was supposed to attend in England' says Poseidon. Hecate smiled at that, 'That I can do' says Hecate.

Percy was wide awake when his name was removed from the Hogwarts register. When Albus Dumbledore looked at the book for the students arriving in 10 years, Percy Weasley's name was no longer on there.

'Brother a mortal lives here and she is a cousin of Percy's family. I think she might be willing to take Percy in' says Hera as they flash once to an apartment in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, they knocked on the door as a young woman around the age of 19 opened the door.

'Sally Jackson I believe' says Hera and Sally steps aside as she allows Hera and Poseidon into her apartment. 'This is my cousin Molly's son I'm guessing. She has done nothing but complain about him since he was born as well as complain about how his father claimed to a be a god which I am guessing is you' says Sally.

'Yes Percy is my son' says Poseidon knowing that he cannot lie about his son's parentage. 'Is there some where I can take him when he is older' asks Sally as she is handed Percy by Hera, 'Yes there is a Camp that you can bring Percy too when monster attack become more frequent' says Hera

Sally holds Percy and he is content in her arms as though he had been her child all along. 'Sally are you willing to adopt him' asks Hera and she could tell that they had a family connection between them instantly.

'I will do everything that I can do for him. Molly has always wanted a big family and she will probably act as though Percy was never born' says Sally kindly. Hera snapped her fingers and a picture of Percy with his brothers were in Bill and Charlie's room.

The picture had the name of the 3 brothers written on the back. So the brothers could always remember their younger brother, as the gods disappeared in the setting afternoon sun it was decided that they were not to speak of this to their paranoid little brother.


Upper East Side Manhattan

10 years later

Jackson-Ugliano apartment

A lot has changed for Sally and Percy Jackson in the past 10 years, Percy had been kicked out of 4 schools in the past 4 years. Sally hid Percy's scent from the monster using the foul scent of her husband Gabe Ugliano.

Until a letter arrived for Percy on the date of his 11th birthday. Percy and Sally made their way to the fire escape as and as Percy smoked his cigarette, which he won from Gabe in a staring match. Sally read the letter to her son, she knew that smoking was his way of coping:

'Dear Mr Jackson,

We are pleased to inform you. That you have been accepted to attend Yancy Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardy, one of our professors will be around before the end of the day that you receive you letter in order to show you where you get your school supplies.

Provided is your shopping list and please inform the professor of any learning problems that you may have

Sincerely Professor Steward'

Sally pulled Percy into a hug, 'Well my little starfish. I'm your going to enjoy this' says Sally as she kisses Percy's head before ruffling his messy black hair much to his dismay. Percy blows out the smoke as he smiles at his mom.

'Thanks mom and do you think something's going to happen at this school just like at the others' asks Percy as he thinks about his various schools over the years. 'Just don't let your professors catch you smoking my little starfish' says Sally with a smirk.

Sally and Percy waited for the professor to arrive and she was a woman wearing simple black robes with her hair pulled back into a tight bun. 'Perseus Jackson I persume' asks the woman, 'Yes mam' says Percy politely.

'Hold on to my arm and I shall take you and your mother to the shopping area' says the woman with pursed lips. Suddenly Sally and Percy were no longer on the fire escape but they were quickly transported to a massive shopping area.

The shopping area was filled with numerous shops that sold all sorts of magical oddities. 'My name is Professor Susan Steward now let's figure out your finances while I tell you about our school. At Yancy Academy we are a regional school here in New York. 

Our students regardless of their past experiences in schools always graduate. In opposition of other schools across the country, we are one of the more modern schools. In which we also help our muggle born students to graduate with their high school diplomas' says Susan.

Sally looked at Percy, 'Percy has ADHD and Dyslexia. He was originally supposed to attend Hogwarts but his biological family didn't want him anymore since they believed that he didn't have any magic' says Sally.

Percy looked at his mom and he gave her a smile. He knew about his origins since he was 9, but he didn't care because Sally was more of a mom than whoever his biological mother was. 'Thank you for letting me know about this. Now let's get Percy ready for his first year' says Susan.

Sally and Susan talk about how to help Percy so that he can get his education with minimal problems. Susan explained how first years were taught how to fly on brooms by themselves and then with passengers.

At the end of the shopping trip, Sally knew that Percy was going to be ok. 'Percy promise me that you are going to try this year' asks Sally in a joking tone since she knew her son's true parentage.

'I'll try mom but I am not making promises. Can we make cookies' asks Percy sweetly and Sally smiled as she and Percy returned. They put the purchases in Percy's room before going to the kitchen and grabbing the blue food colouring.

Chapter 2: Year 1

Summary:

Percy's first year at Yancy Academy where he meets a cute blonde

Notes:

Just for an explanation, I will condensing an entire year into 1 chapter. It helps so that it doesn't run on for too many chapters while remaining informative.

Yancy Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardy is a school of my own invention, the spells are from Hogwarts cause I can't think of my own.

Yancy Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardy

Battery Park

Lower West Side Manhattan

September 1sth 2003

Percy stepped off the bus carrying his suitcase, he along with 100 other kids entered the school. 'ALL NEW ARRIVALS PLEASE REMAIN HERE FOR THE TOUR' announces Professor Susan, Percy was standing next to a girl with curly blonde hair.

'Hi I'm Percy what's your name' asks Percy as the girl looks at him. Percy can see her startling grey eyes which look as though they are thinking how to beat him in a fight, 'Annabeth Chase' says Annabeth.

In their year, there was about 6 other students 3 boys and 3 girls. 'Welcome students. This is Yancy Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardy, our school used to be by the World Trade Center. But in 2000 we moved to our present location.

I know that all of you are concerned about graduation and working in the muggle realm but rest assured. All of you will be able to do so, unlike Hogwarts and Ilvermory we tend to focus on giving our students a more muggle education.

For example, instead of learning how to spot a muggle you will learn how to blend in with them. Now let's begin with our tour' says Professor Susan as she guided the 8 first years around the school.

The boys shared one dorm, the boys in all 7 years were together and the same was for the girls. The first years had 4 core classes every day which were potions, transfiguration, charms and defence. They had a mandatory class for the first semester which was flying lessons.

'Don't worry students. Flying is only an prerequesite to graduate, we have a school quidditch team in which we face off against other schools around the city almost like a basketball team. Once in a generation, our 2nd years go to Hogwarts for a month in order to pull pranks on the school.

Hogwarts has proven to be a less than admirable school over the past several years. But enough about Hogwarts here is the dining room and we have a library, now before I bring you to your dorms do you have any questions' asks Professor Susan.

Percy raised his hand, 'What sports do you have here' asks Percy since he could smell chlorine. 'We have a Quidditch team, Basketball team and a Swim team. Now I'll show you to your dorms' says Susan.

Susan brought the boys to their dorm first. 'Follow the older students to the dining room later on' says Susan before she leaves. Percy got a top bunk while Patrick, James and Arnold got the remaining beds.

Lance the oldest boy in the room, 'Ok everyone let's go for some lunch. First years once the meal conclude then you can sign up for clubs' says Lance with a smile Everyone was wearing identical grey uniforms.

There were 14 teachers for the 7 years, each year had 2 teachers as well as an activities director. 'Students before we begin eating lunch. Perseus could you please stand up and tell everyone about your backstory' asks Professor Susan.

Percy stood up and everyone was looking at him. 'I was born in England to the Weasley Family. I'm not even Arthur Weasley's son, so Molly hated me since the day that I was born since I didn't look like him. They believed that I had no magic so 2 people brought to Molly Weasley's cousin's house.

Her cousin is the woman that I see as a mother Sally Jackson' says Percy and he sat down quickly to ensure that no one would see his tears. 'Wow' says everyone in surprise but then they tucked into their lunch.

The first years stayed seated as they looked at the available school clubs. 'Hey Percy' asks Annabeth as she stands next to him. 'Hey Annabeth do you want to check out these clubs with me' asks Percy as he offers his elbow for Annabeth.

'Thank you. Now what clubs interest you' asks Annabeth as the 2 first years walked around as though they were a married couple. 'Do you enjoy architecture' asks Percy as Annabeth looks at the muggle architecture club with obvious joy in her eyes.

'Yes, it's what mom is famous for I think' says Annabeth and Percy notices a beaded necklace around her neck. 'You don't know your mom either' asks Percy and Annabeth smiles at him, 'Sign up for the club' encourages Percy.

Next to the architecture booth there was a school swim team. Which Percy signed up for with a big grin, then he signed up for Quidditch and Basketball. Annabeth signed up for Quidditch and then they saw a club about different Mythologies.

'What's this club about' asks Percy curiously to the woman before him. 'My name is Jennifer and I'm a 5th year.This club explores 4 different mythologies and how they each impacted the modern world. The mythologies are Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Norse Mythology' says Jennifer.

Percy and Annabeth signed up right away. 'Percy Annabeth if you could follow me to my office. I just wish to discuss something with both of you' says Headmistress O, Percy and Annabeth followed her to her office and she closed the door behind them.

She had a bunch of papers before her, 'I just wanted to discuss how my staff can better accommodate your ADHD and Dyslexia' asks Headmistress O. Percy looked at Annabeth and he jestered his hand as if to say that she could go first.

'With my ADHD, I tend to fidget a lot if I am sitting for extended periods of time as well as just looking out of windows as though there is something interesting there. I also need extra time for test taking with my dyslexia so that I can make sure that my work is correct' says Annabeth.

Headmistress O smiled and nodded her head as she wrote down the information. 'The same is for me Headmistress. That and I can hardly read due to how often my teachers would forget me at my other schools' says Percy sadly.

'Thank you both for this important information. Your accommodations will be set up automatically within 1 day and they will be like that for your entire time at our school' says Headmistress O. Percy and Annabeth left her office to explore the school.

The school wasn't that large it was the size of an apartment building. It had plenty of outdoor space to accommodate the detached gymnasium which housed the pool, basketball court and the quidditch pitch for the colder months.


December 18th 2003

Yancy Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardy

Battery Park

Lower West Side Manhattan

It had been an incredible first semester. Percy and Annabeth enjoyed their classes, as the students got ready to go home at the end of their first semester. Headmistress O stood up and clinked her glass and all the chatter stopped.

'Students before you all return home for your winter holidays I would like to say. Our newest first years have 2 of the brightest students that we have ever seen, Perseus Jackson is not only ranked second in his year but he has also won the swimmers cup for our school as well as led our basketball team to the championship game in February. 

Annabeth who has ranked top in her year has also revolutionized architecture at our school which has led to several muggle construction companies to use her designs. Their joint effort as our seeker and chaser respectively has lead to our school being the number one quidditch team in the state, they will be part of the team that is travelling to Miami for the championship game in January.

Please give a round of applause for our basketball, quidditch and swim team' says Headmistress O as Percy and Annabeth stood up with their team-mates. During Percy's first swim-meet, he out swam students who were in their 7th year.

Annabeth saw how fast Percy was swimming and she avoided him for the next couple of days. Percy walked outside with Annabeth as their bus and a white van were waiting for them, the bus was going to take Percy to the Upper East Side.

'Bye Seaweed Brain' jokes Annabeth as she and Percy share a hug with one another. 'Bye Wisegirl. Don't read too many books' jokes Percy in return as he steps onto the bus with his backpack and suitcase.

10 other kids from his school were on the bus as well. Percy saw a figure waiting for him by his stop, 'MOM' cries Percy as he steps off the bus and Sally who was in her Sweet on America uniform hugged her son.

'Come on Percy let's go home and then you can tell me about your school. As well as everything that you haven't put in your letters' says Sally as she grabs Percy's suitcase and the pair walk back to their apartment.

When Sally and Percy return to the apartment, Gabe is playing another poker. 'Sally more bean dip' barks Gabe even though there was still a good portion of the bean dip left. Sally just walked to Percy's room.

They sat on his bed as she ran her hands through his hair. 'I joined the school swim team. The school swim coach told me that I had a good chance of making it to the Olympics' says Percy with a bright smile.

Sally gave Percy a big hug as she smiled at her son, 'I also joined the basketball team. Our championship game is in February' says Percy with a smile. 'Well I'll have to send you some of your favourite cookies then' says Sally with a smile.

Percy lights up at the mention of the blue cookies. 'I'm going to start working on dinner sweetie. Why don't you go to the fire escape for some peace and quiet' suggests Sally as she lightly kisses her son on the head.

Percy grabbed his cigarettes and lighter from his backpack, he went to the fire escape and he lit one of them. He blew a long and acidic breath, he began to calm down. 'I wonder what my life would be like if I wasn't given up by them' mutters Percy.

After dinner Percy goes outside to play with a friend of his. The 2 boys had a lot of fun playing basketball in the cold New York alley with one another, the holidays pass by without many problems.

Percy often goes to play with TK, 'How are things going with your parents' asks Percy to his friend. The 2 boys were walking around the city as Percy casually smoked a cigarette, 'I think they are getting a divorce. It's been hard on them' says TK.

Percy smiles at his friend. 'I still remember when mom brought us home and just baked cookies until either of your parents could come home' says Percy with a smile. 'See you when you get from school Perce' asks TK since Percy was returning to his school the next day.

'Of course man. Then maybe my mom got a divorce from Smelly Gabe' jokes Percy. The 2 boys went their separate ways as Percy entered his apartment, he smelt his mom's chocolate chip cookies before he saw them.

The cookies were once again a bright blue, Gabe was complaining about how un-natural the cookies were. 'Mom can I help you pack them' asks Percy with a smile as Sally grabbed some reusable containers. 'Go right ahead my little starfish' says Sally with a laugh.


February 10th 2004

Madison Square Garden

New York City

It was the quarter finals, the stands were filled with their classmates, family and the opposing team. The Kentucky Killers had some the roughest, toughest and scariest basketball players this side of the Mississippi river.

'Well Seaweed Brain let's do this' says Annabeth as they got ready to play. Their opponents had some very wealthy backers and with a grant from MACUSA they were able to rent Madison Square Garden for the championship game.

'Let's win this Wisegirl. GO PHOENIXES' cries Percy as the team reciprocates the cheer of the school mascot which was a Phoenix. The Quidditch Tournament had been successful the month before.

Sally was in the bleachers talking next to Annabeth's guardian. His name was Mr Brunner and he was a substitute teacher, as the clock ticked down Percy passed the ball to Annabeth as she shot it in to the net it flew.

Then

The crowd went wild as Yancy Academy won the game. 'PERCY ANNABETH' cheered their team as they hoisted to the 2 first years onto their shoulders, 'ANNABETH cries an older boy with a scar across his eye.

He picked her up and he swung her around which caused her to giggle in delight. 'Luke' squeals Annabeth as Sally picks up Percy in delight, 'MOM' Percy mockingly groans when he was really smiling brightly at the hug.

'Hey can you let them go so that we can celebrate as a team' asks Sarah who was a 3rd year on the team. Luke and Sally put Percy and Annabeth down respectively, a team photo was taken as Percy and Annabeth held the trophy between them.

The pair were laughing, just like when they won the National Quidditch cup the month before. When they returned to the school, Percy and Annabeth were treated as though they were incredibly rich and famous.

As the year came to an end in late May. The school year came to an end, Percy and Annabeth were once again going their separate ways. 'Here Percy this is the summer camp that I go to. Send me letters' says Annabeth.

'Bye Wisegirl. Don't cause too much trouble' jokes Percy as he gives her one last hug before they went their separate ways.

Yancy Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardy

Battery Park

Lower West Side Manhattan

September 1sth 2004

It was the first day of the new school year and there was new boy at school named Grover. 'Hey Percy I want you to meet a friend of mine. Grover meet Percy' says Annabeth and she sounded oddly excited.

The students are at school with usual excitement (disappointment) of summer being over. 'Hey Annabeth why don't you focus on the architecture club this year' suggests James who is a 6th year on the Quidditch and Basketball teams.

'Sure later Grover' says Annabeth as she signs up for the architecture club once more but stays away from any other clubs. After lunch, the new students were able select which clubs they wished to join.

Percy once more signed up for the Quidditch Team, Basketball Team and the Swim team. 'Hey Percy you ready for our first race' asks Star who was a third year, 'I so am. My mom helped me practice by letting me go to the pool practically every day of the summer' says Percy with a smile.

Suddenly Oliver who was a third year came running over to Percy. 'Hey Percy I think you should read this' says Oliver and he sounded rather nervous, Oliver was from England and he was supposed to attend Hogwarts as well but his parents were killed so he went to live with his aunt and uncle.

Percy looked at the sheet in the confusion, the words were floating off of the page. There was a picture of a man and a woman with 6 identical looking red haired children, 'Oliver can you..' asks Percy. 

Oliver smiles at Percy as he takes the page back and he gives him a brief summary of the article. 'It says: It has been 11 years since Percy Weasley disappeared and his parents act as though he never existed.

Bill and Charlie Weasley -the oldest of the children- have yet to give up the search for their younger brother. "I remember playing with Percy and I want to know what happened to him" says Bill Weasley.

Molly and Arthur have 5 sons and 1 daughter. They refuse to comment as too where they sent Percy off to, the rest of the family's close relatives have cut them off until Percy's whereabouts are revealed.

Molly and Arthur have threatened to release the family ghoul upon our reporters. Charlie Weasley has been seen in public openly distancing himself from his younger siblings, "They are wild trouble makers while Percy was kind and he loved to play with Bill and I" says Charlie Weasley

The question remains as too where Percival Weasley could have disappeared' says Oliver to Percy and Grover. 

'Thanks for reading that to me Ollie. As far as I'm concerned, Molly and Arthur Weasley never have been nor will they ever be my family. I faintly remember Bill and Charlie but that's it' says Percy with a scowl.

Suddenly Sally ran over she was a second year just like Percy. 'Hey Percy we're having practice in 10 minutes. Let's go' says Sally as she pulls Percy along to the pool area, 'Ok Percy, Marcus and William get on the platform. I want to see how much practice you need before our first meet in 2 weeks' says Coach Arthur.

Grover and Annabeth entered the gym quietly, they observed how Percy effortlessly glided through the water. 'Do you think we should' asks Grover in a whisper and Annabeth nodded her head, 'I observed him last year and I think he might be the one' whispers Annabeth in return.

The pair went behind the building, Percy won his heat in the match. 'Excellent job Jackson. Simpson and Paris good job but remember you will be facing against people your own age and not a 12 year old. No dirty tactics' says Coach Arthur as the girls went next.

The 3 girls had ended up tying, 'Sally, Star and Alice you girls did fantastic out there. Just remember girls, you can't slow down if your team-mate is going slower. Speed is important girls but don't forget to pace yourselves' says Coach Arthur.

The kids quickly changed, some went back to the school to meet with their friends while Percy, Sally, Marcus and Alice made their way to basketball practice. There were 5 first years along with James and Oliver.

Coach Arthur came over from the pool area and he blew his whistle, 'Ok students let's begin with drills. James show the first years how the drills are run' says Coach Arthur as he blows his whistle once more.

This how it continued for an hour, with the last 10 minutes being used for a small scrimage of boys versus girls. 5 girls and 5 boys with no substitutes, Percy scored the final point of the game. 'Good work everyone and remember there is no I on Team' says Coach Arthur.

Soon it was time for Quidditch, Percy grabbed his school issued broom and the school team played well with one another. Percy was the team seeker and his sub was a fifth year that had glasses on.

The activities director Mr Jameson flew up to them. 'Ok everyone before we begin this practice. I have just learn that which ever team wins the Quidditch school cup will be playing against Hogwarts in March' says Mr Jameson.

The joy of the students before him was some what infectious, everyone began to practice. 'Great practice everyone now go and change for supper' says Mr Jameson, everyone flew down to the changing rooms. 

Dinner began in earnest with Headmistress O standing up. 'Students this afternoon, we learned some very interesting news. First Mr Jameson will be going on a vacation starting tomorrow and his replace will be supervising the Quidditch matches. 

Also I would to announce that which ever Quidditch team wins the finals in January, they will be going to Scotland in order to face off against Hogwarts. Lastly I would like to announce that scouts for the Olympics will be watching our swim team matches from now on.

Which means no practicing magic while you are waiting for your turn to compete' says Headmistress O.


Hamilton Fish Recreation Centre

Lower West Manhattan

October 8th 2004

200 kids were waiting excitingly to swim in their heats. Percy was in a heat with 4 other 12 year old boys, the starting whistle sounded and the boys dived in. This competition was a mix of both magical and non magical students.

The boys and girls from Yancy academy wore identical swimsuits. The school colours consisted of red, orange and yellow or the typical colours of a phoenix which was their school mascot. Their new activities director Mr Brunner was smiling as the kids swam.

Percy was at the lead of the pack, he made it back in record time.The score board showed that Percy had completed his run in 1 minute and 30 seconds. 

Jackson Percy- 1:30

Diaz Alejandro- 1:45

Valdez Raphael- 2:00

Potts Peter- 2:05

Lake Luke- 2:10

Percy smiled widely as the medal was placed around his neck. 'Good boys. You all did incredible' says the judges as they shook each of the boys hands, Sally swept Percy up in her arms as she smiled at her son.

Suddenly a man with a badge and a clipboard approached Percy and Sally. 'Mrs Jackson I persume' asks the man as he shakes Sally's hand, 'Yes I am and you might be' asks Sally. 'My name is Alexander Harough and I'm a scout for the Olympics.

We were informed last year about your son's swimming talent. We wanted to see him in action today, I must say Mrs Jackson that I am impressed by your son's talent. I want to get him into a swimming program that will give him a shot at the Olympics' says Alexander.

'Well that's not my decision to make. What do you say Percy would you be willing to do this' asks Sally to her son. Percy pretended to think when in actuality he was cheering on the inside, 'Of course I am willing to do it' says Percy happily.

'We won't officially start until he is over the age of 16 for legal matters but Percy will be bringing home gold medals when he is old enough to do so' says Alexander as he shakes Sally and Percy's hand.

He handed Sally his business card before he left with the promise to keep in touch. 'Percy before you go back to school. Could you share these with your classmates' asks Sally as she hands her son, 2 old 4L ice cream containers filled to the brim with cookies.

'Thanks mom' says Percy as he kisses his mom on the cheek. 'I love you my little star fish. We are celebrating at Christmas, this is the longest that you have ever been at the same school' says Sally happily to her son.

Percy goes over to his team-mates and the cookies are divided between the 6 kids, Yancy Academy had the smallest number of students enter but Percy won all of his heats. Everyone enjoyed their post swimming treats.

Percy also found a bag of his favourite blue candy tucked into his bag. His mom was the greatest with bringing him his favourite candy.


Jackson Apartment

Upper East Side Manhattan, NYC

December 25th 2004

10:20 pm

Gabe was heavily drunk when he stumbled into Percy's room. He told Sally to visit her families grave that night and he would keep an eye on Percy for the night. Sally knew that Gabe was lying but she unwillingly agreed.

'Useless brat. Your a leech, you cost me money' slurs Gabe as he clumsily attacks Percy. Gabe grabs a frying pan from the kitchen and he is swinging it, he strikes Percy hard enough that he knocks the kid unconscious.

At 10:28, Percy starts seizing which normally wouldn't cause too many problems but unknown to Percy, Sally and many others. Percy was an extremely powerful demigod, he seizure triggered a fault that had been waiting to rupture since 1941.

As Percy fell into unconsciousness, a powerful 9.3 magnitude earthquake erupted along the Sumatra-Andaman fault line. Then the waves hit, when dawn broke over Manhattan on December 26th.

Percy unknowingly caused the death of 230,000 innocent men, woman and children across 14 separate countries. As the gods of Olympus stared in horror at the devastation across 14 nations, Hera turned to Poseidon.

'Brother do you think he could have done this' asks Hera as Poseidon numbly nods his head. 'It is rare sister but if a child of mine is struck in the head. It can cause then to have a seizure which in turn ruptures a fault line that is under immense pressure.

There is no way that I or Neptune can prevent this. Perseus is my and Neptune's son, he will be powerful and Chiron is ensuring that Percy goes to Camp in order to retrieve our brother's lightning bolt' says Poseidon.

Hera and Poseidon shared a look as they realize how worried Hades appeared. They figured that he was sensing the massive amount of souls entering the waiting area for the Underworld, 'Brother' announces Zeus as the gods look towards him.

'You have until the Summer Solstice to return my master or there will be a war unlike any other thrust upon you' says Zeus as he flashes away. Hades scowled as though he noticed that something was amiss then he returned to Underworld.

Back in the Jackson's apartment, Sally bandaged up her son while he slept. 'Remember you put up with that man in order to protect from monsters' says Sally in a whispered voice. She put Percy in bed as she turned on the news.

She saw the destruction that was generated by a massive earthquake, she knew who had caused it as she look down at her son. Sally stroked Percy's hair, 'Oh Percy you wield such immense power that you can't begin to fathom' says Sally.

There were 2 flashes and there stood Hera and Poseidon as they looked between Percy and Sally. 'How could he have caused this. I know you have had powerful children in the past but none have been this powerful' says Sally.

'Sally it is possible that Percy was hit in the head. It's extremely rare but when a child of mine is struck hard enough in the head, it can cause them to have a seizure which will rupture fault lines that are under immense pressure.

Mortals believe that earthquakes are caused when tectonic plates, which are constantly moving, become stuck against each other due to friction. Send him to camp this summer' says Poseidon. Hera looked at Sally and saw the same thing that she had seen all those years ago.

Poseidon knew that he couldn't mention that Percy was both his and Neptune's child until he was somewhat old and the Romans prophecy was fulfilled. Which wouldn't happen for some years to come.


Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy

Scotland, United Kingdom

February 10th 2005

Albus stood up, 'Students please give a round of applause for the Quidditch team from Yancy Academy in New York' says Albus as the 14 kids entered with 1 adult who was Coach Arthur. 'Huh so this is Hogwarts. Not very impressive' says a boy with black hair and green eyes.

'Shut up Percy and don't forget you have to talk with them' says a girl. 'Headmaster Dumbledore can one of my students speak with Bill and Charlie Weasley in private. He has some information that they may wish to here' says Coach Arthur.

'Please go to the atrium. The match will be in 1 hour' says Albus to the Weasley brothers. Soon enough, the 3 boys were in a room together. 'You said that you had news about Percy. What happened to him' asks Charlie sounding almost desperate.

'Hi I'm Percy. Percy Jackson or rather your little brother Percy. You mom's cousin Sally adopted when I was a year old since Molly hated me for not looking like Arthur' says Percy and then he is practically swept up into Bill and Charlie's arms.

'Shut up just shut up' whispers Bill as he cries tears for the first time since Percy disappeared. He loved his little brother more anything, Percy was a quieter baby than the ones born after him. 'Percy what is it like at Yancy Academy' asks Bill.

'It's incredible. I love it there' says Percy. 'Bill I'm going to apply for the dragon reserve in the States. Just to be closer to Percy' says Charlie sadly, 'I'm one step ahead of you Charlie. I'm applying to work for Gringotts in the States' says Bill.

The brothers go their separate ways, with Bill and Charlie changing into their uniforms in the Gryffindor tower. While Percy meet up with his team for some practice, 'Hey Perce are you ok' asks James when he see's Percy whipping away tears.

'Oh I'm fine. I just meet Bill and Charlie, they've missed me. They plan to move to America after they graduate from Hogwarts' says Percy with a watery smile. Soon enough it was time for the Quidditch match.

Bill was the keeper while Charlie was the seeker and he smiled at the sight of Percy being the opposing seeker. The game quickly began with the Phoenixes scoring 5 points within the first minute of the match.

It had been 5 minutes when Percy spotted the snitch, he began to race towards it with Charlie hot on his tail. Percy stretched his hand out and he closed his hand around it, 'THE YANCY ACADEMY PHOENIXES ARE THE WINNER' announces Coach Arthur.

The 14 students celebrated happily, Bill and Charlie landed and they approached the team. 'Percy congratulations. We're happy that we could see you again' says Bill as he hugs his little brother goodbye.

'Keep in contact with us Percy. You are already so much better than the others' says Charlie as he too hugs Percy goodbye. It was a sad goodbye for Bill and Charlie but they were happy that they were at least able to say goodbye to Percy this time.


Metropolitan Museum of Art

1000 5th Ave, New York

May 5th 2005

It was a year end school trip, the students were spilt into different tours for their different grades. The second years got to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, although Annabeth was excused due to having the flu.

Nancy Bobofit who was the school bully had been tormenting Grover the entire trip, which included throwing parts of her lunch into his hair for her own amusement. It was gross since it was a peanut butter and ketchup sandwich.

'Percy it's ok I don't mind' says Grover to calm his friend, 'I know man but just because her dad is one of the wealthiest men in the city. It doesn't mean that she gets the right to treat you like that' says Percy in defiance.

The museum tour guide, a stern woman named Misses Dodds was glaring at Percy as though he was a hardened criminal while she would give Nancy candy for attempting to destroy a priceless artifact.

Mr Brunner was telling them about different statues since he was a museum guide on the weekends. He was showing a painting about the Gods of Olympus, 'Can anyone tell me what this is' asks Mr Brunner. Nancy was talking about something and Percy just snapped at her.

'WILL YOU SHUT UP' Percy practically screams at her. 'Well Mr Jackson can you please tell me what this is' asks Mr Brunner once the snickers had died down, 'That's Kronos eating his kids' answers Percy.

'Yes and please elaborate' asks Mr Brunner. 'Kronos was the King God' says Percy 'God' asks Mr Brunner confused, 'I mean Titan. He was tricked by Zeus which freed Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades and Poseidon. So there was a big fight between the gods and the titans and the gods won' says Percy.

Mr Brunner smiled at his answer and announced that it was time for lunch. The kids went outside by the entrance and enjoyed their lunches aside from Nancy who stole several wallets not that Misses Dodds did anything about it.

Nancy decided she had taken enough money so she dumped the rest of her lunch on to Grover's lap. 'Oops' says Nancy with a little laugh and Percy just felt the rage bubble up inside him, 'Percy Percy hey man calm down' says Grover in an attempt to calm down his friend.

Percy counted down from 10 which calmed the wave that was raging in his head. 'PERCY PUSHED ME' screams Nancy in the whiniest tone ever heard, Misses Dodds quickly appeared at Percy's side.

She had a vipers grip on his arm. 'Come with me honey' she says in a no none sense tone, Percy was dragged in to the room that they had be in just minutes prior. 'Where is it' growls Misses Dodds not at all sounding human.

'What are you talking about' asks Percy sounding incredibly confused. Suddenly there an animalistic growl echoing in the room, Percy turned around to where he had last seen MIsses Dodds and she looked like a human with bat like wings.

Suddenly the doors flew open and Mr Brunner wheeled into the room, 'WHAT HO' calls Mr Brunner as Percy catches a sword. Misses Dodds was flying around the flying and she continued to ask Percy about where it was.

She tried to attack him and on instinct Percy swung the sword. The sword sliced through her as she was made of butter and then she was no more, the sword was pen and Percy was incredibly confused.

He went back outside and Mr Brunner chided for forgetting to bring his own utensils. 3 weeks later, at the end of the term, Percy and Grover got on the same bus while Annabeth went in the white van. When they were by a fruit stand, the bus broke down.

Everyone got out of the bus, Percy saw the oddest sight which was 3 old ladies knitting the world's biggest sock. One the them took out a pair of scissors and she snipped the thread which Percy was able to hear across the 4 lanes of traffic.

Soon Percy and Grover to their bus stop, Sally was waiting for them. 'Percy could you go to your room for a few minutes. I need to ask Grover a few questions' asks Sally and Percy knew better than to question his mother's authority.

Soon enough a few minutes pass, 'Percy pack up some clothes not your school uniform. Then meet by the Camaro' says Sally and Percy was downstairs in a few minutes with wand tucked safely in his suitcase.

They began the drive as Grover told Percy the truth, 'Percy your dad is a god. One of the Greek Gods' says Grover but when they were almost at there destination. A lightning bolt struck the car, which knocked Grover unconscious.

'Percy grabbed your wand and help me carry Grover' says Sally as Percy did as he was told. They began to run towards the light that Percy could see in a distance, 'Percy go inside. This is as far as I can go' says Sally.

'No mom I'm not leaving you' says Percy but that's when he saw the monster in the fading sunlight. It was the minotaur, 'That's Pasiphae's son' says Percy as Sally nods her head. They put Grover down and Percy put his wand in Grover's hand. The monster grabbed her and Sally disappeared in a shower of gold.

A storm began to rage around Percy as he ran towards the minotaur, he jumped on it's back and he grabbed one of it's horns as it tried to throw him off. But Percy held on for dear life, he tugged and tugged at the horn until...

SNAP

Percy managed to break off the horn and he stabbed the minotaur. Which caused him to fall off it's back, Percy felt his head hit something small and hard when he fell but he ignored it as he heard footsteps and voices but he ignored it as he staggered back to Grover.

He picked up his friend and made his way to the boarder but he stumbled and he felt arms catch him before he fell into the dirt. 'Chiron I know he's the one. Did you see what he did' calls a familiar female voice 

Percy was try to stop his descent into the gentle embrace of unconsciousness, 'Hush Annabeth. Luke help me carry them to the infirmary' says a familiar male voice and then Percy knew no more. 

Notes:

I don't know what it takes for someone to get into the Olympics. I am just a small town farm girl from Ontario so if it is wring then my bad.

Chapter Text

Camp Half Blood

Long Island Sound, New York

June 2nd 2005

Percy had been fading in and out of consciousness. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw Grover looking at him with a smile on his face. 'About time you finally woke up Percy. You've been unconscious for a week. Have a drink' says Grover as he helps Percy to hold a glass of what appears to be apple juice.

Instead the drink tasted like his mom's cookies. 'Where am I' asks Percy confused but he feels stronger, Grover smiled at him once more. 'Welcome to Camp Half-Blood man. This is a camp for the son's and daughters of the Greek Gods' says Grover.

'Come on we don't want to keep them waiting' says Grover as he helps Percy to walk. 'What are you Grover. Your walking without your crutches, don't tell me that your a Satyr' asks Percy as they make their way around the porch.

'Huh Annabeth wasn't wrong about you being incredible in that mythology club' says Grover with a shake of his head. 'Grover don't tell me that Mr Brunner is actually a centaur and the other man I persume is a god' asks Percy.

Mr Brunner and the man looked surprised. 'Perseus do you know who Mr D is' asks Mr Brunner in surprise, Percy took in his appearance as well as the faint smell of grapes. 'Dionysus god of wine and your Chiron the trainer of heroes' says Percy.

'I told you Chiron that Percy would surprise you' says Annabeth with a laugh. 'Well let's start your tour Percy' says Chiron as he get's out of his wheelchair to reveal that his lower half was that of a centaur.

'Oh Percy this is your's' says Grover as he hands Percy a white box which when opened contained the bloodied horn of the minotaur. 'Thanks Grover, this place is a lot better than home' says Percy as he mutters the last part under his breath.

The tour began and it had Percy thinking. 'Chiron I think I have a clue as too who my father could be' says Percy as Chiron stops talking and turns to look to Percy, 'Who do you think it could be' asks Chiron curiously.

'I could be wrong but I think he might be Poseidon. Sally told me about what happened after Gabe knocked me unconscious and how I had a seizure at 10:28 in the evening on December 25th 2004. I later learned that Sri Lanka is 9 hours and 30 minutes ahead of us putting the earthquake at 7:58 am' says Percy.

Chiron stroked his beard in contemplation. 'It might be possible Percy but let's wait until your father officially claims you. I am not saying that you are wrong but there are many minor water gods who could also be your father' says Chiron.

'Annabeth could you please continue Percy's tour and also give him back his wand' says Chiron as he leaves. Annabeth hands Percy his wand which Grover was holding when Percy entered the camp and collapsed.

'So you knew, about me being the son of some god' asks Percy as they walk towards a run down looking cabin. 'I figured it out when I saw you swimming in our first year. You told me that you had years of swimming lessons but even then. You swam better than boys who were in their final year' says Annabeth.

They enter a crowded cabin that looked like a Red Cross station in a summer camp. 'Percy welcome to Cabin 11 where the undetermined campers go' says Annabeth as Percy enters the cabin, a majority of the kids had a defeated look on their face.

'You were at our Basketball championship game' says Percy as he recognized Luke since he made Annabeth blush every time she saw him. 'Come on Percy let's keep going' hisses Annabeth as the pair continue their tour of the camp.

As Percy and Annabeth were walking around the camp, one of the older girls by the name of Clarisse. She dragged Percy to the washrooms, 'Clarisse I wouldn't do that if I were you' Annabeth tries to warn but Clarisse made no indignation that she had heard Annabeth.

Which was quickly seen as a mistake, Percy blasted Clarisse out of the communal bathroom with a powerful blast of water. 'I need you on my team for Capture the Flag' says Annabeth and Percy returned to the Hermes cabin.

Luke sat next to Percy on his small spot on the floor, 'So Percy what's your family like' asks Luke. Percy looked down, 'The woman who raised me Sally she is actually Molly's second cousin. Molly and Arthur didn't want me because they are extremely religious.

So they sent me away in order to hide the fact that Molly had cheated on her husband. I actually got to meet my 2 older half brother's back in January, they plan to move here for work' says Percy with a smile.

Luke let out a low whistle, 'Wow they must be awful parents' says Luke. 'That's the thing. After they abandoned me, they had 4 more kids after me and they act as though I never existed. My mom so Sally told me that I only had a stuffed whale to my name.

No clothes or anything only a stuffed whale which was a gift from my father' says Percy. Luke shakes his head in disappointment, suddenly a conch horn blew in the distance signalling the start of supper.

'CABIN 11 FALL IN' calls Luke as the kids from all of the inhabited cabins made their way to the dining area. Everyone got a plate in front of them and Mr D began to make the announcements, 'Everyone please welcome Perseus Jackson' says Mr D.

An collective gasp was heard throughout the room as all of the campers, as Mr D more often than not got their names wrong. It was announced that a game of Capture the Flag would occur that coming Friday.


Camp Half Blood

Long Island Sound, New York

June 5th 2005

It was the day of Capture the Flag, Percy had been adjusting well to Camp. Annabeth had been helping Percy to understand lines of Homer as well the Illiad and the Odyssey, Percy proved to be a terrible archer.

Chiron had to de-snag an arrow from his tail, 'Percy I am starting to think that you might be right about who your father' says Chiron before he left to remove the arrow. Percy got to see Grover without his false shoes on.

Grover explained to Percy about the Big Three Oath, Thalia who was a daughter of Zeus and the empty cabins. 'Percy when you came back from Hogwarts you seemed really excited' says Grover as Percy shakes his head.

'That's because Grover when I was there I meet Bill and Charlie my older half brothers. They both missed me a lot and I honestly loved the small amount of time that we had together, they plan to move to America after they graduate.

Bill graduates this year and Charlie graduates in 2 years. I already talked with mom and is fine with the idea of Bill and Charlie coming to visit, they have 4 younger siblings not including me. Yet they are willing to up root their entire lives to live in America to be closer to me' says Percy.

Grover looked at Percy before he goat tackled him, 'Percy I am sure that your brothers would give up everything if it meant that they could be with you' says Grover as the 2 boys have a wrestling match there on the grass.

They were laughing, 'Hey Percy come on it's time' says Luke as he jogs over to the 2 boys who were wrestling. Percy was laughing while Grover was bleating with joy, 'Grover Percy wrestling is over' says Luke after a few minutes.

It ended up taking Luke almost 20 minutes to get Grover and Percy to stop wrestling. Percy was still laughing as Luke finally managed to pull him away, they finally managed to find a set of armour and a shield that fit Percy.

Soon enough it was time for the game to begin. Percy still somewhat covered in grass stains from his and Grover's wrestling match earlier, Luke was given confused looks by everyone at the sight of the newest camper being covered in grass.

He just shrugged his shoulders as a way to say "I found him like this". Annabeth placed Percy near the creek and the Clarisee with 5 of her siblings ambushed him, 'Cream the punk' cries Clarrise as she holds Percy in a headlock, she gets him with her spear, "Electric" thinks Percy and he slices at the spear cutting it in half. 

'YOU CORPSE BREATH WORM. CUT HIS HAIR' cries Clarrise as Percy lands in the water he feels a surge of energy and he easily defeats the Ares camper, Luke comes bonding through the creek with the Ares flag showing that the Hermes cabin and their allies were the winners of the game.

As Percy steps out of the water, he feels the energy leave him and Annabeth catches him before he falls. As Percy stands up a hellhound enters the forest and Percy stands in front of the creature shell shocked.

Chiron shots the creature full of arrows but not before it rakes it claws across Percy's chest, 'Percy get into the water' says Annabeth and Percy feeling weak from the amount of blood that he had lost is helped into the river by Luke and as he felt as energy return, a green glow was cast over the forest. 

Suddenly everyone started kneeling and whispering in shock,

'EARTHSHAKER,

STORM BRINGER,

FATHER OF HORSE

HAIL PERSEUS JACKSON SON OF POSEIDON' cries Chiron.

Everyone looked around in surprise at Percy being claimed by his father while many campers were grumbling since they hadn't been claimed by their parents yet.


Camp Half Blood

Long Island Sound, New York

June 6th 2005

After the previous night, Percy was moved into his own cabin which he found to be lonely. Everyone avoided him as though he had a disease.

Percy was summoned to the Big House and he told of his destiny, Chiron explains to him that Zeus's master lightning bolt had been stolen and Zeus believes that Percy had stolen it for his father.

'Go to the attic and speak with the Oracle. We will speak with you if you return with a sound-mind' says Chiron and Percy goes up to the attic, he enters the attic and he hears a raspy female voice. 

'APPROACH SEEKER AND SPEAK' says the oracle and she shows him images of Gabe, Eddie, Bill and Charlie

'You shall go west to face the god who has turned' says Gabe

'You shall find what was stolen and see it safely returned' says Eddie

'You shall be betrayed by the one you call friend' says Bill

and the last line is the most depressing

'And fail to save what matters most in the end' says Charlie

Percy returns and he explains the prophecy to Chiron but he doesn't say the final because it had scared him so much, Chiron helps Percy figure out that they have to confront Hades. They have until June 21sth to return the Lightning bolt to Zeus in order to prove his fathers innocence.

Annabeth appears under her invisibility cap and offers to go on the Quest with him and Grover volunteers to go on the quest with him which Percy happily excepts.

As the trio are about to leave on their quest, Luke gives Percy a pair of basketball shoes that have little wings on them. Percy is then approached by Chiron and he is given a pen but when the cap is removed then it becomes a powerful sword, Percy gave the shoes to Grover and the first flying goat-boy lifted off. 

Percy stared in wonder as Argus drove the 3 quester to the bus station, while they were waiting for their bus. Percy notices a wanted poster with his face on it, 'Percy do you know why your mom stayed with him' asks Grover.

'It was keep me safe because of his bad odour' says Percy as Grover smiled at his friend. 'Yeah because he smelled so awful' says Grover, Percy and Annabeth were each carrying their wands since their wands didn't have the trace.

It would only alert the ministry if spells were done in front of muggles. Which the pair that was really good, although the other demigods had to physically drag them away before they could start any magic fights.

The trio decided to play Hackey Sack with one of Grover's apples as Percy passed the apple to Annabeth, Grover ended up eating the apple core, stem and all which caused them to start laughing like crazy.

hey sat at the back of the bus, 'Annabeth keep your wand close' whispers Percy as he stores his bag. Percy keeps his wand in his front pants pocket and Riptide in the other pocket, Annabeth follows his example but she fiddles with her Yankees cap.

As the bus finishes boarding, 3 old ladies arrive on the bus and sit in the front seats. They form an X with their legs which gives the impression that no one is leaving the alive, as the bus drives off and they enter a tunnel, in creepy unison they all say. 'I have to use the restroom' and they start making their way down the aisle.

'Percy hide they are searching for you' whispers Annabeth as she gives him the Invisibility cap, Percy puts it on and he ducks into a seat a few rows ahead of his friends. Percy is almost at the front when he gets a glimpse of his friends fighting the Furies, so he does one of the dumbest things ever: 

HE PULLS THE EMERGENCY STOP AND WRESTLES THE DRIVER


Percy steps aside in order to let the other passengers off of the bus before he removes the hat, 'WHERE IS IT' screeches the furies in unison and Grover grabs one of their whips. The trio continues fighting the furies until they here the sky rumble and that is when they ran off of the bus, just as lightning strikes the bus destroying it completely.

'We have to run' says Annabeth and the group runs in the woods, when they were a far distance from the bus they went over what supplies they had between one another. Annabeth and Percy had their weapons, wands and Annabeth's invisibility cap while Grover had his reed pipes.

The group keeps walking until they find a lone building on an abandoned street, 'Aunty EM's garden gnome emporium' is what the sign read. Annabeth and Percy smelled fast food, Grover tried to distract them from going into the building and waiting for them at the main entrance of the building was an older lady.

The trio entered the building and Aunty Em fed them greasy food, Percy enjoyed it since it was the first time in a while that he had greasy food. She wanted them to stand for a picture which Percy happily accepted for the group as she greats ready to take a picture Percy hears a hissing sound, "Snakes Medusa" thought Percy as he shoved his friends to the ground.

Percy remembers playing with his brothers and having to close his eyes, so Percy uncapped his sword and closed his eyes waiting until he heard the hissing of snakes again and when he heard it Percy sliced his sword through the air and towards the hissing sound.

Percy's sword cut through something and he felt something soak into his socks, 'Annabeth find a big box and Grover find a plastic bag too wrap up the head' called out Percy and he stood alone for what felt like and eternity until his friends returned.

The head was wrapped up in a plastic bag and that is when Percy opened his eyes, Annabeth had attached a small bag of drachmas to the box and she grabbed the address for the Underworld. 'Percy what are you doing' asks Annabeth as Percy takes a sharpie marker that was laying on the ground and he wrote something that was for sure going to annoy the gods.

THE GODS

MOUNT OLYMPUS

600TH FLOOR,

EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

NEW YORK, NY

WITH BEST WISHES,

PERCY JACKSON

Once the box was closed, they heard the sound of a cash register and the box was gone, 'Let's get some sleep and figure out our way west in the morning' says Percy and everyone splits up to sleep. Percy woke up the next morning and he described his dreams to Annabeth, who guessed that it was Hades and Grover had found their ticket West.

Percy didn't question it because they needed any forms of travel and Percy enjoyed riding on the train which had a lay over in St Louis Missouri, Annabeth convinced them to go and visit the St Louis arch.

It was a gorgeous site as Percy looks out the windows of the arch, he see's muggle buildings all around and he is happy that he is America. Soon enough the arch is closing and his friends take the elevator down leaving Percy with an older woman holding her dog as well as a family, the dog has a forked tongue- wait what.

Percy had to do a double take when he saw the forked tongue, the creature leapt out of it's owner's arms and with each bark it grew larger. All of a sudden in the place of the older lady was a demonic like creature, 'IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE ZEUS CALLED FOR ME ECHIDNA THE MOTHER OF ALL MONSTERS' she cried.

Percy sees the family cowering in fear, he jumps in front of them with his sword and slice at the creature. The creature bits Percy's left ankle and destroys a window, 'Get downstairs' says Percy as he points to an exit which the family and security guard take;

'JUMP SON OF POSEIDON AND SEE IF YOUR FATHER WILL SAVE YOU' cries Echidna and Percy is terrified because he had lost his weapon, so Percy takes out his wand and he casts a spell in order to distract them as well as destroy them.

'INCENDIO' cries Percy as the fire charm hits the creature, Percy jumped into the water below. Percy prayed to his father that he would be protected in the water. As Percy landed in the water, he saw how filthy and dirty the river was.

He finds his sword and a Nymph appears before him. She is a messenger from his father warning him not to trust the gifts and when she disappears Percy resurfaces and he reunites with his friends, they hurry back to the train and Percy explains what happened.


They are in Denver and they help the god Ares retrieve his missing sword. When the trio arrive at the waterpark and see clean clothes hanging in the gift shop, Percy and Annabeth change into clean clothing and they eventually find the shield as well as a pink scarf.

'Oh no Seaweed brain no love magic for you' says Annabeth as she stuffs the scarf into her short pocket, as Percy grabs the shield they realize to late that it was a trap set up by Hepheastus in order to catch his wife and half-brother cheating. Using the water pressure and Annabeth's brains they clear the "Gates of Love", they return to the dinner and give Ares back his shield. He had travel arranged for them.

'Kid your mom isn't dead' says Ares before he leaves as they load into the back of an animal transport truck, when Grover falls asleep. 'Annabeth who is Thalia' asks Percy as they start share Oreos and Annabeth looks at her feet.

'Thalia was the daughter of Zeus. I met her and Luke when I was 7 years old and we ran to Camp, Grover found but so did the Kindly Ones who were sent by Hades because Zeus broke an oath. Thalia made her stand on Half- Blood hill and as she lay dying Zeus turned her into a Pine Tree and her spirit protects the very camp that she was trying to reach' says Annabeth and she starts to cry lightly.

'Annabeth when we get back to Camp, why don't you send your dad a letter. He would probably be happy to hear from you, you don't have to visit him but just keep the communication lines open between you.

I know that if I was in you situation. I would want to keep in contact with my mom' says Percy as he changes the animals food.

The lion devoured the happy meal while the zebra and antelope ate the turnips, when the truck stopped Percy heard a voice in his head begging him to free him. Percy realized that it was the zebra who was asking him, so Percy uncapped his sword and cut off all of the locks from the cages. Grover gave the animals a Satyr's blessing before unleashing them on the streets of VEGAS.

The trio found themselves at the LOTUS HOTEL AND CASINO, they had been traveling for 10 days and they went inside. Percy heard a small voice in the back of his head that reminded him of his quest and he quickly got him and his friends out of the hotel but not before taking a platinum card.

It was now June 20th 2005 which meant they only had 24 hours to complete the quest, they quickly got in a card which sped all the way to Santa Monica. Percy entered the Santa Monica bay and he found a Neriad who gave him 3 pearls and told him to use them wisely.

The trio accidentally entered the lair of Procrustus the stretcher who nearly kills Annabeth and Grover with Percy saving their lives. The group enters the underworld and bribes Charon into letting them board the ferry.

They get to the Palace of Hades and they enter Hades's throne where Percy see's his mom frozen in the shower of gold, after much arguing it revealed that Ares had given Percy the stolen lightning bolt and that Hades's helm of darkness was also stolen. Percy promised to retrieve it with the promise that his mom would be returned home when it was returned.

When the trio returns to the surface, they confront Ares on the beach and Percy defeats the god of war in a sword fight. 'Give this back to Lord Hades and have him return my mom' says Percy before the group convince reporters that they were innocent it what had happened, their acting raised enough many for 3 plane tickets to New York.

Percy went to the Empire State Building and give his Drama queen of an uncle back one of the most powerful weapons in the world. Poseidon talks with Percy and tells him that he would have done anything for Sally.

'She held you as though you were going to break in her arms. Sally told Hera and I about how Molly looked at you with distain, I knew that you were going to grew up safe and loved with her' says Poseidon.

'Thanks dad' says Percy as Poseidon sends Percy on his way. Percy makes his way out of the Empire State Building and back to the apartment. Sally had returned and she hadn't remembered anything until returning to the apartment.

Which looked like a man sized pig pen, it had underwear hanging off the lampshades. It was just disgusting in general, Sally and Percy went to his room in order to talk. 'Mom,I'm going to go back to camp but use this to deal with him' says Percy.

As he hands his mom the box containing Medusa's head. Percy took a taxi back to Camp just as Grover and Annabeth finished explaining the quest to Chiron, the 3 of them were welcomed back as heroes.

Until 2 days later, 'PERCY ANNABETH' screams the Ares cabin. All of their clothes had been switch to bright pinks, baby blues and bright yellows. They knew who the culprits were instantly, 'Should we change it back Wise Girl' asks Percy from the top of the Poseidon cabin.

They looked down the Ares Cabin with shared smirks, 'No let them suffer' says Annabeth with a giggle. The rest of the camp saw the chaos and Luke saw how they got onto the roof, 'Got you' says Luke as he puts them over his shoulders.

'LUKE PUT US DOWN' cries Annabeth as she and Percy try to get out of his grip. They are chased around the camp by the enraged Ares cabin, until Percy and Annabeth get back onto the roof. They knock down how they got up there.

'You can't get us' cat calls Annabeth in a mocking tone much to the fury of the Ares cabin. It took Chiron, 2 hours to control the chaos 'PERCY ANNABETH TIME TO GET OFF THE ROOF' he calls and they jump off the roof.

The first bead on Percy's leather necklace was a trident with a black background to represent how the first son of Poseidon in 60 years had prevented a war that would wipe out all of humanity. 

Soon enough it is the last day of Camp and Percy see's Luke, it revealed soon enough that Luke had joined Kronos, stolen the lightning bolt and the helm of darkness. 'Percy the gods are always going to make you the hero.

They will never let you have a break. The Pit Scorpion kills in 60 seconds, goodbye Perseys' says Luke before he stings Percy with Pit Scorpion venom. Percy stumbles back to Camp and Chiron rushes him to the infirmary, when Percy wakes up a few days later and as he and Annabeth are talking Chiron enters. 

'Percy, your mom and a red haired man are here' says Chiron. Sally had her own car but Gabe constantly told, 'I'll see you in a few weeks Seaweed Brain' says Annabeth as she helps Percy outside the border.

'Bye Annabeth' says Percy as he is carried by Bill. 'Come on my little starfish. Let's go home, your brother starts at Gringotts tomorrow' says Sally and Percy falls asleep in the car. 'Bill it's fantastic that you are staying here in the states' says Sally quietly.

'Thank you for letting me stay here Sally. I wanted to be closer to Percy, I was originally going to be a curse breaker in Egypt but now my curse breaking is going to be here in America. My mum and dad expected all of us to join the Ministry once we graduated from Hogwarts.

Charlie and I never really wanted that. We always to know where Percy was taken and then we were going to move to where ever he lived once we were of age, both of which we can now do in America' says Bill.

Bill carried Percy into the apartment which had been throughly cleaned since Gabe had a hoard of rats living in the closet. Sally showed him to Percy's room and he tucked his brother into bed before joining Sally in the kitchen.

Chapter 5: Year 3

Summary:

Percy's third year at Yancy Academy

Chapter Text

Yancy Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardy

Battery Park

Lower West Side Manhattan

September 1sth 2005

Bill walked Percy to his school and he was impressed. 'Send letters when you get a chance little brother. I'll keep your mom safe and Charlie will be joining us for winter break' says Bill as he and Percy share a hug with one another.

There was a new kid at the school and his name was Tyson. 'Annabeth is something different about Tyson or is it just me' asks Percy in a whisper to his friend during potions, Percy had signed up for the Swim Team only that year.

He wanted to try and make it for the Olympics. 'Seaweed Brain. Tyson is a cyclops, the Mist must be really strong on you' says Annabeth as a way of explanation, Tyson proved to be a playful student and Nancy was a second year since she had failed her exams.

Headmistress O got everyone's attention. 'Students this year. We will be hosting the Hogwarts Quidditch Team, through careful negotiations but myself and Headmaster Dumbledore. The students will be arriving in 2 months time.

You must all be on your best behaviour, that means no pranks and yes Mr Jackson you may give them the tour' says Headmistress O without even looking in Percy's direction. Percy smiled so widely it looked as though his face was about to split.

Percy had done swimming during his free moments at Camp Half-Blood during the summer. So he was faster than ever, Coach Arthur look impressed by the how Percy practically flew through the pool.

"I am so glad that I stuck with swimming this year. Zeus would blast me out of the sky while I can play basketball at Camp" thinks Percy as he changes out of his swimsuit. As 3rd years Percy and Annabeth selected their electives.

They could each chose 2 electives which was done last March. Annabeth chose Architecture and Mythology as her electives while Percy chose Swimming and Mythology as his electives, the pair were advised to do so by their teachers.

With Percy in the swimming elective, he could get more training so that when he was 16. He could train for the actual Olympics while Annabeth could design revolutionary buildings and she could work at an architectural firm when she graduated collage.

The mythology elective was so that they could better learn about different mythologies. Not just Norse, Greek, Roman and Egyptian but also Hawaiian, Celtic, Aztec, Mayan, Chinese, Japanese, African, Persian, Cherokee, Korean and Australian mythologies.

Percy and Annabeth were 2 of 6 kids in that class. They worked together on their projects, with Greek mythology they passed that portion of that class. They struggled somewhat with the others but they were doing well.

It was 2 months later when, the Hogwarts students arrived with their Quidditch referee Madame Hooch. 'CHARLIE' cries Percy as he runs to his older brother, 'Hey little fish' says Charlie happily as he drops his bags to swing Percy around.

'Come on Annie let's show them around' says Percy as Annabeth comes outside to hear the commotion. The pair gave the 4 teams a tour of Yancy Academy, 'Mr Weasley why were you so enthusiastic in greeting Mr Jackson. 

From my understanding he isn't related to you in any way' says Madame Hooch. Charlie didn't answer her, he pulled out a faded picture from his wallet which had 2 boys holding a younger one. 'This is the only picture that I have if Bill, Percy and I. This is how I know that he is alive' says Charlie.

It was clear to everyone from Hogwarts that Charlie wanted to spend time with Percy. Soon the quidditch tournament began with the winning Hogwarts house playing against Yancy Academy, the Gryffindors had won.

They played against Yancy in which they won. It was Christmas holiday when the little tournament concluded, 'Hey Charlie' says Bill with a smile as he greets his little brothers. 'Mom wants to meet you Charlie' says Percy with a smile.

Bill smiled as he swooped Percy onto his back. Charlie carried their luggage, the other Hogwarts students had gone home but Charlie was staying until the New Year. 'Hi mom' says Percy as Sally opens the door to her son on Bill's back.

'Charlie Weasley and it is a pleasure to meet you' says Charlie politely as he shakes Sally's hand. 'It is very nice to meet you Charlie. Bill don't you dare start wrestling with Percy and Percy come help with the cookies' says Sally.

Bill showed Charlie to where they would be staying which was Percy's room. Bill was working hard to get his own place and it was going well, he just needed to work for a few more months before he could get a nice apartment.

While Percy was in the kitchen with Sally, 'Bill. Mum is wanting to visit you with the while lot this summer. Aunt Muriel is funding it, Dad got approved for a week off of work' says Charlie in a terrified whisper.

Bill's eyes went wide. 'Why I made it clear that I don't want them visiting me' says Bill as he paces around the room nervously. 'Mum and Dad want to bring you to your senses. About how you shouldn't abandon your family and that it would better for you to work at the ministry' says Charlie.

Bill and Charlie were understandable furious at Molly and Arthur for trying to keep them in England. 'Keep them away from Percy and Sally alright. Mum and Dad will try to take Percy away, he's happy here and that's all we need' says Bill.

As the school year come to a close Percy, Annabeth and Tyson made their way to Camp Half-Blood where it was being attacked by mechanical bulls. Bill got his own apartment in Brooklyn which was close to Sally but far enough that his family could harm her.
