Hey guys did you miss me? I know it's been awhile and I'm sorry, but I lost my desire to write its back now though thanks to some reviews some people left. I do read all of them and they really do encourage me to keep going. Also, if you somehow haven't already, I recommend you check out Empire of Dirt by: Sweets10 & Percy Jackson and the world of magic by: I'mjusttryingtofindmyway. Both of them are amazing & original PJO Harry Potter crossovers. Oh, and if you want to check out my twitter, Neptunerover

Also if anyone is interested I have another story out called "A New Life" it's a PJO and Game of Thrones crossover.

EmeraldGuardian7: Yeah, after watching Game of Thrones I realized how important that can be, but at the time I didn't want to bore everyone by repeating everything that was said previously. I will however be sure to next time express what that character feels about the situation in the summary.

GinnyChase2005: The according to the Harry Potter wiki, there are 2 different shops for magical companions and, I felt Poseidon wouldn't want to have anything to do with the animal thus I had it, so the phoenix was in the other shop.

Now onto the story: I do not own PJO or Harry Potter

Harry's POV: _

Why can't I just be normal? I mean no one else seemed to pass out when the dementors boarded the train, how come I had to the be the freak. It frustrated me to no end. This was all that wason my mind for the rest of the train ride to Hogwarts. Ron & Hermione were doing their best to get my mind off it, but I wasn't paying attention to them. I was lost in my head remembering the woman's scream as the dementor came to our compartment.

It was a scream that sounded terrified and in pain, but there was also a sound of resolve. Not to mention that as it opened the door it felt like there was no point in living, and that the rest of my life was pointless, the only feeling's left being despair and fear.

It got me thinking back to the three professor's that were in our compartment, I was glad that they were there and instantly knew what to do. In a way I envied them, Ron and Hermione to. They didn't pass out from fear, not even the Americans, they stood up and faced those dementors and destroyed those horrid creatures.

Finally, I was brought out of my head by Ron shoving me slightly. "Come on now mate, I know you hate the fact of everything that happened on the train but try and not let it ruin your mood, and if you were paying attention then you would have heard that Mione has a theory. Right Mione?"

Hermione smiled slightly before she started speaking, "I think the reason why you reacted so bad to the dementors Harry was because of all the things you have gone through in your life."

There it was, another reminder that I'm not normal. I wanted to snap at Hermione for reminding me, but she was just trying to help. Finally, the horseless carriages stopped in front of the castle, that was just as breathtaking as the first time I saw it. It took my mind off the whole dementor thing, that was until Malfoy, the bloody prick brought it all up again as we passed him.

"Oi Potter look out behind you there is a dementor, quick pass out so it realizes that you're a pathetic loser just like Weasley and the mud-blood."

I was about to cast a curse on the stupid prat, or punch him, and it seemed like Ron was ready to do the same thing. Especially when we heard the sniffling Hermione behind me, I had actually pulled out my wand and Malfoy's smugness turned into panic for second before returning to neutral. Before Ron and I could do anything, professor Flitwick intervened giving Malfoy two weeks detention and already taking 20 points from Slytherin.

He grumbled inaudibly, probably something about his father before sulking off with Crabbe and Goyle obviously following him. Flitwick gave Hermione a small smile before telling us to hurry or we'd miss the feast and left the three of us there.

Ron was uttering curses about Malfoy while I was still silently fuming. Finally, I took a deep breath and looked at Hermione who looked to be over the insult before letting out a growl of frustration.

"Ughhh, I can't stand that that stupid git, and that name still gets to me."

Ron & I both turned to her speaking one after the other,

"Nah Mione you shouldn't feel bad it's a dreadfully awful saying at least Malfoy got some punishment right Ron?"

"Yeah Mione, He should have got a lot worse but no matter the reason he shouldn't call you that you're ten times the witch he could ever be."

I nodded in agreement, thankfully she seemed to start to feel better and thus we made our way to the castle and in to the Great Hall. It doesn't matter how many times I've been here before, seeing the Start-of-Term Feast always leaves me slack jawed. The floating candles, the twinkling stars in the clear roof, and the vivid house colors It all combined together to make the castle seem all around more magical.

We made our way to the Gryffindor table and found a seat a few places down from Fred and George. After taking our seats I looked up to see Percy & Annabeth talking to Dumbledore I looked around to see if anyone-else noticed the two new faculty however it seemed the only ones who did were Draco and his two goons Crabbe and Goyle.

Finally, once the rest of the students filed in and Dumbledore pulled away from the conversation with Percy & Annabeth. We heard the school choir orchestrated by Professor Flitwick start to sing a song that I couldn't place, but it seemed Ron and Hermione could, but overall it was a different start then what I was used too. Once the singing stopped McGonagall came from the side with the first years in a line behind her, and with a wave of her wand the stool and Sorting Hat appeared.

And thus, the Sorting began with me droning out the majority of it only clapping when I heard someone's name and Gryffindor. Finally, after a first year with the last name Randolph was sorted into Hufflepuff, Dumbledore stood up to give his commencement speech.

"Hello, and Welcome to Hogwarts, to our old hands we welcome you back and to our new hands I hope that you find a family in your housemates around you. Now as Flitch asked to remind all students to not run in the halls for, I believe the 82nd time. I would also like to remind everyone that the Forest outside these walls is forbidden for students."

"Finally, I would like to introduce some new staff members as well as welcome a current member into a new position. First it is my pleasure to introduce Professor Remus Lupin who will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts this year. Next, I would like to inform you all that Professor Grubblyplank has retired this year and our Groundskeeper Hagrid has graciously accepted the position. Last but certainly not least I would like to welcome Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase to Hogwarts they will not only be helping Hagrid with some groundskeeping duties, but they will also be attending some classes at their choosing to help get a better understanding of our way of magic compared to their previous school, so they may later take a teaching position here should the need arise. And thus, I say we give them a full Hogwarts welcome and have them sorted no?"

I could see the twinkle in Dumbledore's eye has he looked at the two Americans has they smiled sheepishly clearly not liking all the attention on them. None the less however they walked down to where the sorting hat was, and Percy being a gentleman or not I couldn't tell by the smirk on his face let Annabeth go first.

Annabeth Pov: _

As we walked into the Great Hall my breath was taken away, while the architecture of the castle was truly impressive it was nothing compared to Olympus. However the Great Hall was something else entirely the best word to describe it was magical, and it had such a homey feel with the candle lights and twinkling star ceiling, not to mention the vibrant colors took my breath away and I felt Percy grab my hand and squeeze it slightly to bring me back to the world.

He let go of my hand and we followed Dumbledore as he guided us to the side of the room while Remus went up to what looked to be the head table sitting down with what I imagined to be all if not the majority of the professors at Hogwarts.

Once we were out of hearing range for most the faculty and staff Dumbledore's face turned serious.

"In order to bring you two to Hogwarts I had to make a deal with the minister that we would host dementors around campus for the foreseeable future."

I could see Percy paling at the thought, and I couldn't blame him, the feeling I had from the dementor on the train was terrible. I was certain if there was another Percy and I would have been sent back to that place. Dumbledore must have understood that the dementors were no good for us because he offered us a solution.

"While the dementors can't enter the castle they will roam the grounds outside at night and around the forest during the day, If you wish we can find a type of lodging for you inside the castle however to do that you can't just be grounds keepers."

I nodded appreciatively while Percy nodded slowly understanding that this other job would involve some learning, and I felt bad for him I know his dyslexia was worse than most other demigods. I was determined to try and find a spell to help him.

"Okay then I will get two rooms available for you…"

He stopped talking as he noticed Percy stand suddenly ridged, and I couldn't help but feel I had a similar reaction.

Percy spoke up, "With all due respect sir, we would like to share a room. Our heritage forced us into a traumatizing experience that we have yet to get over, and the only way we can get over the night terrors is by being close together."

Dumbledore stared at us intently for a long while before relenting in.

"Very well, I believe you. However, in order to pass this off I will need to see some of these memories deal?"

Percy nodded hesitantly and I followed his lead we didn't exactly want to subject him to the terrible things that happened down there, but we decided now was not the time to argue as it seemed everyone had made their way to the Great Hall.

We followed Dumbledore to the table before taking the two empty seats, in-between Remus and a giant of a man who introduced himself as Hagrid. Percy and I were both weary of the giant of a man, knowing how well the mist can disguise a monster but decided to trust in the school and Dumbledore, we haven't discovered a monster, yet at least.

Suddenly everyone quieted down as a small man who seemed smaller then if not the same size as a telekhines. Percy and I listened as the kids sang in a choir which was actually quite pleasant, once they were done an older looking professor walked in behind her a bunch of smaller kids.

She then waved her wand and a stool with an old looking hat appeared. Percy and I glanced at each other before shrugging and watching as the older professor called people up by their last names and then first. I wondered why they were putting a hat on some kid and it seemed Percy was wondering the same thing.

Before either of us could think any more about it the Hat shouted out Ravenclaw and the table with blue and bronze colors started clapping and cheering as the red-faced kid walked over to the table. Once again, I found myself and Percy looking at each other wondering how much weirder this place could get. It seemed Remus mistook our confusion of the hat talking to us wondering what Ravenclaw was.

And then explained to us what the houses were, and what each represented. Gryffindor for the brave, Ravenclaw for the cunning, Hufflepuff for the loyal, and Slytherin for the ambitious. Finally, before I knew it the final kid was called up and was sorted into Hufflepuff. I was wondering what would happen next when Dumbledore stood up and gave a welcoming speech and explained the rules to the students.

Afterwards he introduced Remus and Hagrid in their teaching positions, and Percy and I as Groundskeepers. The shocking part however was when he decided that we had to put on the old hat. And then suddenly all eyes were on us, which was slightly uncomfortable, but then Percy stood up and I followed his lead once we were in the middle of the room Percy gestured for me to go first which I glared at him for and he just laughed before whispering.

"Don't get lice"

Suddenly I was so much angrier at him for putting the thought in my head. I assumed they had some sort of spell right, so they didn't get in the old hat. I didn't have much more time to ponder though as the hat was placed on my head. Unlike the smaller kids the hat didn't go over my head instead it just sat like a regular hat.

Suddenly a voice spoke in my head just like how owls do, and I looked around for an owl but couldn't find any nearby, that's when I realized it was the hat.

"Ah the daughter of Athena figures it out, well I want to put you in Ravenclaw for that fact alone, however you are quite ambitious wanting to make something last forever you could do in Slytherin, Oh but that boy, who I imagine I will be talking to next, makes you quite loyal to the ones you care about. Hufflepuff could be a good fit as well. Or Gryffindor as well I suppose it takes a lot of bravery to face down an enemy that represents your worse fear. Oh, this is odd I can't seem to see any more of your memories pass that point the next I see is you on a ship with that boy you are so loyal to."

I was so shocked that he had not only read my memories before I became angry, what right did this stupid lice filled hat have to look at my memories. It wasn't until after I thought it that I realized the Hat could read my mind, some daughter of Athena I thought to myself. Suddenly the Hat was laughing in my head.

"Dear girl, please you cannot control the emotions and thoughts that you feel so instantaneous, almost no one is constantly having a conscious other than their own in their head. I am sorry for looking through your memories, but I must have a reference to determine where you would best fit in this school of wonder. However, you are the first to have something that I cannot see, and while I am curious, I will not try and pry. I do see the reason you and your friend are here so with your approval I say Gryffindor would do nicely no?

I gave a mental, sure why not and a second later the Hat screamed out "GRYFFINDOR" before the hat could be taken off though it told me.

"Oh, and I DO NOT have lice, after one infestation 13 years ago I had Dumbledore put a spell around the castle denying those horrible creatures the ability to enter the castle."

I started smiling to myself before making my way back to the professor table, as I passed Percy I whispered to him,

"The hat does have lice, but it liked me, so it didn't give me them however I told it what you did and it told me it'd give you my portion as well."

I laughed as he paled.

Percy POV: _

As Dumbledore suggested Annabeth and I wear that old hat that had been on every other kid's head, the only thing I could think about was how the hat had to have lice. So naturally I sent my beautiful and courageous girlfriend in first. I figured the lice would find her hair so amazing like I do that they would all flock to her hair leaving me home free.

That sadly didn't save me, although the look of horror & promise of revenge in Annabeth's eyes as she looked at me while the hat was placed on her head was priceless, and slightly scary. At first, I started to feel a little bad at putting the thought in her head, I figured though the hat had some type of magical protection around it so lice couldn't live on it. I mean for crying out loud the thing could talk.

However, after Annabeth told me about the hat using the lice as a weapon, I first no longer felt sorry, and second was now petrified of that hat being put on my head. It made sense after all, how else was the hat supposed to defend itself, lice were its perfect weapon. That was what was on my mind as the hat was placed on my head. I was not expecting the damn thing to immediate start shouting in my mind.

"Why you and that girl. No, I do not have lice, I would have thought she would have told you considering she is most loyal to you."

After I got over my shock at the hat talking in my head, I processed its words and smiled to myself I loved Annabeth so much.

"Yes, yes, you both love each other very much, now where to sort you? Hufflepuff is the most obvious choice with a fatal flaw of loyalty, Ravenclaw could do well as well you may not be the most book smart, but you are smart in other aspects from experience and ingenuity. I don't believe Slytherin would do well you are to caring, turning down immortality for a girl and making other lives better, no you are not ambitious. Don't lie to yourself that girl did play a part in your decision."

I already knew the hat could read my mind and could only agree that Annabeth did play a part in my decision to turn down godhood. I then realized this hat was reading my mind and started getting angry.

"I am sorry but as I told your friend I must see your memories to determine which house would make the best home for you while you stay at Hogwarts, but something is blocked off from me I see nothing pass you letting go of a ledge to be with the girl you love, so she wouldn't be alone, despite what ever being at the bottom of the drop terrifying you. That is the definition of bravery, that along with your reason for being here I believe means you belong in Gryffindor"

I gave a mental signal of yes and the Hat shouted out "Gryffindor" before it was lifted off my head and I made my way back up to the faculty table next to Annabeth and Hagrid. Once I sat down and the older professor waved the hat and stool with her wand Dumbledore stood up once again.

"It is decided then, I believe Perseus and Annabeth shall join fellow Gryffindors in a variety of classes so they can learn more about Hogwarts. Now I am sure you are all quite hungry so let the feast begin."

Suddenly all types of food appeared in front of us that I didn't recognize but seemed tasty enough and with my stomach growling at me I dug in, meanwhile Annabeth was also grabbing a handful of different foods, I started looking for a brazier to sacrifice some of this food to however I didn't see a way of doing it without being suspicious at the moment, plus it wouldn't be a sacrifice with the amount of food so I hoped the gods would forgive this until Annabeth and I figured out a solution.

When I noticed Annabeth not eating, I explained my logic, and she agreed before starting to slowly eat. Once I had ate all different kinds of food and deserts, as well as trying something called pumpkin juice, which was good, but it was no blue cherry coke. It seemed everyone was done eating Dumbledore stood up once again.

"Well as the Welcoming Feast comes to a close, I hope you all enjoy your time at Hogwarts. On a final note, do not roam the castle after curfew. Due to Sirius Black's escape the minister has seen it fit to have dementors guard Hogwarts ground. Do not fret though you are completely safe here at Hogwarts. Goodnight."

With that all the students started grouping around someone who said they were Head boy, and all the first years went to people called a prefect. Meanwhile, Dumbledore waved us over to him.

"Yes now, I'll see about those memories another night but in the meantime, I'll take you to your room."

We followed Dumbledore all around the castle that just seemed to be made to confuse people. Finally, we stopped at painting that was off to the side of a painting of a fat lady before Dumbledore gave a perfect American salute to the knight in the painting to which it swiveled itself inward opening up to what looked like a living room.

"I hope you find these accommodations comfortable, this room has a living room, as well as a bedroom and bathroom inside, you can also modify the action to enter the room by waving your wand on the other side of this painting and then preforming the action. Although I will say not many here would know how to do a proper American salute."

We thanked Dumbledore as he bid us goodnight. With that I began to check out the room we were assigned. It was honestly quite cozy, the living room being the same size as the one in my mom's apartment. It had a cozy looking leather love seat with a roaring fireplace, with a ton of books in bookshelves off to the side. Shockingly there was a small flat screen TV, which shocked me considering how medieval the castle was. Somehow there was also a window on the other side of the portrait that overlooked the Great Lake. Which I was determined to find out about the supposed Giant Squid that lived in it.

After getting a good feel for the living room we walked back to the bedroom to see a king size four poster bed with what looked to be silk sheets, a nice fluffy comforter, and shockingly very little throw pillows. I open the closet and dressers while Annabeth went to check out the bathroom. When I opened the closet and dresser drawers, I was shocked to find our stuff from the suitcases already put away. I was about to tell Annabeth, but she beat me to the punch.

"Percy you have got to check this out."

I walked into the bathroom and my jaw dropped, it was the nicest bathroom I have ever seen. It had a king size tub big enough for ten people, plus me. It might as well have been a jacuzzi. I saw Annabeth grinning at me, and I took in the cool tile patterns that were actually kind of warm? I chucked that off to some kind of magic, I was thoroughly impressed. I wanted to take a quick bath, but Annabeth dragged me away saying.

"Tomorrow Percy, it's late and we have to get up early tomorrow. Come on and help me put everything from our suitcases away."

I then remembered the suitcases and smirked, I knew something my Wise Girl didn't.

"Actually, Wise Girl we don't have to, I was about to tell you before you called me in that grand bathroom that somehow are stuff is already in the closet, and dressers."

I would be lying if I didn't say it hurt a little to think she didn't trust me enough to believe me, but I also knew that was something really hard to believe. My feelings were forgotten though at the look on her face as she realized everything was already put away, neatly hung and folded.

I wrapped her in a hug.

"Magic, it's still shocking what all it can do, isn't it?"

She nodded her head before grabbing a pair of my boxers and one of my shirts, and then threw me a pair of sweatpants.

"Yeah it is, but we still have an early day tomorrow so get ready."

I took the sweats going into the bathroom and after throwing my shirt and pants into what looked to be dirty clothes hamper, I changed into my sweatpants. As I was brushing my teeth it finally started to hit me that I was at a school, where I was safe, with Annabeth. We were both safe for the time being and we could enjoy our lives, without the constant fear of monsters or gods. Yes, there was magic but eventually we would get over that, I don't think I could handle 100% normal anymore.

As I got under the covers while Annabeth got ready in the bathroom, I was truly excited for the unknown that awaited us, because for once my instincts didn't tell me we were in immediate harm.

So, once again sorry for taking so long to get back but, I'm back. Sorry my first chapter back is a bit of a filler, but next chapter is their first day doing magic stuff so it will be its own chapter.

Be sure to tell me what you guys think by leaving a review, I read all of them. I also might answer a few. Don't forget to follow and favorite if you enjoyed.

P.S. I started on a PJO and GoT crossover that is a bit more mature, as is the world of Game of Thrones. By the time this chapter comes out I should have the story posted so if it sounds interesting check it out.

Thank you guys for reading.
