A/N: Sorry if my chapters have been getting crappy. I'm now not in an English speaking country, so I'm very sorry for the late update!
Hermione's POV
I sighed as I slowly walked towards the Gryffindor common room. I had to think of a way to apologise to Annabeth and Percy. What if they didn't forgive me? I mean, I did try to kill Annabeth after all. I sighed again, mustered up all my courage and walked through the door. Suddenly, the room became silent. I coughed lightly and stuttered, "Um I've uh come to uh apologise."
"Well. Go on." Annabeth said, crossing her arms.
"I'm very very sorry that I nearly killed you Annabeth. But I swear it wasn't me! It was like watching myself do those things... And I couldn't stop myself." I muttered, intimidated.
Annabeth sat down, slumping. "Like watching yourself do these things..."
"Yeah..." I said, unsure. "So-um-do you-uh-forgive me?"
"I suppose. Only because it wasn't you." Annabeth answered, rubbing her temples.
"One question. How come you guys only bleed when people hit you with the Death curse?" I asked Annabeth.
"I guess it's because we're demigods...? I really don't know. It's like we were supposed to dodge all of your curses. It's just different from us." Annabeth told me.
I nodded, cautiously taking a seat next to Ron. Ron edged away from me, and I felt a small pang of sadness in my chest.
"Do you guys not trust me?" I asked softly.
Ron suddenly flinched and leaned back. "We do... It's just that we have so much in mind that we don't have a lot of time to discuss about minor things like this."
"Oh, okay..." I mumbled and turned my attention to Annabeth. "What's the plan?"
Percy, Annabeth, and Jason exchanged looks and turned their attention to me. I was frightened by all the different eye colors directed to me. Sea green, grey, blue...
"We're not sure yet." Annabeth confessed. "We're working on it, but I don't know-"
"Annabeth doesn't know something!!!" All the demigods yelled.
"THE WORLD IS ENDING!!!!" Thalia screamed.
"RUN OUTSIDE!!!!!" Percy yelled.
"HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!" Nico shouted.
"No need to be so overdramatic guys. I'm hurt!" Annabeth said, trying to hide her grin. "Anyways, the Athena cabin is working on the plan to save Hogwarts from the upcoming invasion. We're gonna be need as much wizards and demigods as we can recruit, and we need to strategize what's gonna happen before it actually does happen."
Suddenly something shimmered, and a guy's face appeared on the wall.
"Annabeth, Percy! Camp's under attack! We need you guys here, right now!" the guy screamed, and I heard a loud crash from somewhere behind him.
"But camp's protective borders?" Annabeth asked, confused.
"It's coming down!" the guys said. "There are more monsters than humans! We're trying to contact the Romans, but they're under attack too. We're on our own. Please Annabeth!"
"We're on our way. Make sure non of the younger campers or the campers that aren't trained are fighting." Annabeth ordered. "Get all seniors in the Big House in 30-"
"ANNABETH!!!! There is no Big House-" the guy started, but the connection was cut.
"No... We need to go. Now! Nico, can you shadow travel all of us with Hazel's help?" Percy asked desperatly.
"I'm sure we can." Hazel and Nico both said at the same time. "But Harry, Ron and Hermione should stay back. We can't have so much people while shadow traveling."
"Alright. Be safe." Harry said, patting Nico on the back. "Make sure that everybody gets back."
Nico and Hazel nodded. "GRAB SOMEONE'S HAND!!!!"
They all grabbed each other's hand, and they shadow traveled to camp.

Annabeth's POV

As soon as we arrived in camp, I ran towards where the big house was supposed to be.
Suddenly it hit me. The camp was going to be demolished. All the cabins were damaged (except for the Zeus cabin, surprisingly) and the campers were running aroud, scared half to death.
"Malcom?" I yelled through all the chaos. "MALCOM?"
Suddenly, I saw a body in the ruins of the Athena cabin. "M-Malcom?"
I turned the body around, and saw it was indeed my second in command.
"MALCOM!!!!" I screamed and hugged the lifeless form of my half-brother. Percy came up beside me and put a hand on my shoulder. He knew how important my brother was to me.
"I'm sorry." Percy said silently. "but we have a battle to fight, Annabeth. For the dead demigods."
I felt a rush of determination coursing through me. "Let's win this."
I put Malcom down gently to the side and stood up, grabbing my knife from my belt. Percy and I ran up to the others and started hacking away. I stabbed an empousa and slashed at a hellhoud.
"If we die like this, remember that I'll always love you!" Percy yelled over all the noise. He pulled me towards him and kissed me (while killing another empousa). I gladly returned the kiss then I broke it off.
"As much as I love you, Seaweed Brain, we need to work on trying to kill these ungodly creatures." I said, trying to kill a Minotaur.
"Roger that, Wise girl."
