Hecate's Kin

Jason's POV

"I am going to kill you Jackson!" A draught started flowing from the door to Percy's bed, slowly getting stronger as it reached towards him.

"Jason!" Piper shouted. "Other people!!!"

"Fine!" I moaned. The wind died down and Percy climbed out of bed and walked over to me.

"Awwww, good to know you care about me Jasey wasey. Did you think I'd been taken away? Ohh you must of been worried, how would you've coped without me!" Everyone laughed at my scowling but eventually I couldn't help but crack a smile as Percy did a one man show of someone trying to take him away like he was a damsel in distress. "Help me, help me, I'm being kidnapped!" He did an over dramatic faint before crawling to my feet. "Jason, all powerful son of... your father! You saved me, how will I ever repay you." He fainted again and Leo looked like he was about to start crying he was laughing so much.

"Oh come on, Sea-weed brain!!! Sorry about him." Annabeth apologised to the other girls in the room before pulling Percy up off the floor.

"Why were you in here anyway?" I asked once Percy was upright again.

"Well, Annabeth had a nightmare so Thalia and your girlfriend came and woke me up. Which I'm surprised didn't wake you up as well but I guess we're all used to sleeping through noise. Anyway, Annabeth was still really scared so I slept with her."

I choked on my laugh, Leo lapsed back into hysterics and Annabeth gave an exasperated sigh. "Oh Gods, that came out so wrong. You know what I mean!"

"Yeah, sure!" Leo laughed. "Anyway, now that we've found you we have to move onto the more important matter which is ... FOOD! I mean I burn up a lot of energy if you know what I mean so I really need my fuel and..."

"Enough of the fire puns Leo, we all get it, your hungry. So if you boys all leave to get Ron and Harry and try to wake up Nico then we'll get changed and meet you in the common room" Annabeth gave Percy a peck on the cheek and the three of us left to go back to our dorm.

"So did Annabeth have a vision or a flashback?" I asked as we walked back through the common room.

"Flashback. Of... well you know where. I know which bit she was talking about but... she said there was a voice and I don't remember there being a voice which is weird." Percy was right, that was weird and I must of shown my concern. "There's nothing to be worried about though, seriously. She would've told me if it said anything important and she didn't. It was just that place messing with her mind." I wasn't convinced but I could tell Leo was getting impatient:

"Come on, it could take a good half hour to wake up Nico and I think that I will implode if I don't get some food soon so let's go." And with that we climbed the stairs, shook Nico awake (surprisingly easily I might add), got dressed and met the girls down in the common room.

We managed to wake Nico up surprisingly quickly. I think that Leo's threat of ghosts carrying Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans kind of helped.

We met the girls in the common room and together, the 14 of us headed down to breakfast. Leo immediately piled his plate with basically all the food on the table. I mean he literally cleared three whole platters (which luckily automatically refilled the moment they became empty). Anyway, we were midway through breakfast when Professor McGonagall started walking up and down the table handing out time tables.

"What in Hades are all these subjects?" I heard Leo shout when he got handed his timetable.

Annabeth shot him a look: "They're exactly the same as the ones we have in America, I think they just use slightly different names here, don't they Percy?"

Percy quickly swallowed his orange juice: "Yeah, I mean some of them are the same like... um... I mean we call it potions as well and transfiguration is what we call... um object transformation, I think." Leo seemed to catch on and nodded.

I looked down at my timetable which seemed to be written in Goboldigook. At first I thought it was just Dyslexia, and spent ages trying to work out what my brain had turned into Herbology before realising that maybe that was the actually name for it. What the Hades is Herbology? And what do you do in Defence Against the Dark Arts, I mean that sounds dangerous, I don't mind a bit of danger but seriously, this is a school, it's meant to be safe.

I looked over at the others timetables and all of us, including Harry, Ron and Ginny, seemed to have the same lessons. The only one with a different timetable was Hermione, she wasn't doing Divination and seemed to be doing about 50000 other subjects instead.

Some of the lessons seemed self explanatory but a lot of them were strange and new to me:

Charms

Care of Magical Creatures

Break

Transfiguration

Divination

Lunch

Potions

DADA

"Bloody Hell," Ron said from my right, "We've got no frees all day. No frees! I mean, when we first got invited back, I thought it would be cool to take back some of the subjects I dropped for NEWT's but now I'm not so sure. I'm not sure I can survive 6 hours of lessons. I mean seriously. I'll be dead by the end of the day!"

"Well you can't afford to be dead." Harry laughed. "I'm going to go and practise quidditch afterwards 'cause it would be awkward if the Gryffindor captain was out of practise at try outs and I can't have a dead goalie, there's no way we'll beat Slytherin like that."

Quidditch sounded like a cool game, and since I'd bought a broomstick I might as well use it: "Can I join you? I've never actually played but I love the idea of flying. It must be so much fun just floating through the air, you don't get a chance to do it outside Quidditch do you." Leo choked into his bacon and I couldn't help but smile. But Harry, who didn't get the joke, just nodded and said I could come along with him and Ron this evening to practise before actual trials happened.

"And after that," Ron grinned. "Someone has to go and swim in the freezing cold lake"

Percy grinned mischievously and waved. "We should probably be heading to lessons now, shouldn't we?" he turned to Annabeth and added in Greek "What is charms anyway? I had a flick through some basic spells before we came here as a bit of preparation but nothing too advanced, I hope it's enough"

"Wow, you actually did some work! Voluntarily! Charms are spells which change an objects properties where as transfiguration which we have later, changes what an object is. I haven't looked into many spells either I guess we'll just have..."

"Can you guys stop jabbering away in Greek." Ron butted in, "I mean it's great and all, but I've got absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Bit annoying."

"συγνώμη!" Percy laughed. Ron scowled.

"He said sorry." Annabeth glared at Percy. "And yes, we probably should get going to lessons. I don't want to be late on my first day. And with that, we left the great hall and started making our way to charms
