Percy

I woke in a puddle of sweat, panting. I had just seen Draco Malfoy be bitten by a werewolf. A storm raged outside of cabin three where I slept. It usually didn't storm in Camp Half-Blood, but Zeus was probably mad about something. A sudden rapping on the cabin door made me fall of my bed. After I managed to untangle myself from the mess of bedsheets, I pulled the door open to see my girlfriend Annabeth standing there in the rain, shivering with wide eyes. 

"Percy!" She shouted over the wind. I stepped out of the way and let her in. Boys and girls weren't allowed in the same cabin alone, but this seemed to be an emergency. 

"Annabeth, what's wrong?" I asked her, pulling her into a hug to warm her up.

"I just saw a vision. Of Voldemort and Draco," she said, shivering. 

"I saw the same thing!" I exclaimed. 

"Percy, we're in more danger than you realise. Voldemort knows your name, he'll be coming after you. He knows your protecting Harry!" 

It had been almost two months since we came back from Harry Potter's timeline (about twenty years ago). We thought we'd be done with that place, but I guess work for a demigod is never over. 

"It'll be fine. We'll talk to Chiron in the morning." I said, pulling away. "We'll probably have to go back now, Harry's in more trouble than we realised, isn't he?" She nodded and I led her to the bunks. I lay down on my bed. She giggled and kissed my forehead and lay down in the bunk next to me. We quickly fell asleep.

"Chiron!" Annabeth ran up to the centaur. The storm had cleared in the morning and we had found Chiron talking to Will and Nico. "We need to talk to you." 

"Is it about Harry?" Will asked. I nodded. He smiled gravely. "I guess we all had the same dream last night."

"It was no dream." Chiron said. "It was a vision of the present in Harry's time. We need to contact Lady Hecate and send you over there once more, we have no time to waste." Chiron galloped over to the Big House, the four of us having to sprint to keep up. When we entered the house, Hecate was already standing there surrounded by our trunks and owls. 

"Kelp!" Annabeth exclaimed and went over to the cage where her owl was cooing at her. After we came back, Hecate had to take back all of our books and things we had taken from that time. She said something about how it would alter a time lapse? 

"Lady Hecate," Chiron bowed. "So I assume you heard?" 

"Yes, I was made aware of these events this morning. It's a very dangerous situation we find ourselves in." She said gravely. "Harry Potter is in more danger than ever and I need the four of you to go back to Hogwarts and protect him for his sixth year." We nodded. 

"You must be even more careful now that Voldemort is aware of your presence. You can't say or do anything that might draw attention to yourselves, or your secret." Lady Hecate continued. "All your things are here and like last year, you will be staying with the Weasley family." 

"Alright then, let's get a move on." I said, clapping my hands together. 

"Remember Percy, you can't let anyone know who you are, keep a low profile." Chiron warned. I nodded. We all grabbed our trunks and Hecate zapped us back in time to Kings Cross station. 

Point of advice:

Don't time travel if you get time sick. 

When we landed outside Kings Cross, I doubled over.
