Rose and Hugo has pitched a tent outside. Hermione watched between reading her book, as they walked around it, placed stones in a circle and pretended to roast marshmallows. She forgot all about her book and continued to watch, bad memories filling her head about those lonely nights spent in a tent. When Ron came in, he slammed the door and Hermione flinched, dropping her book with a thud. Years later, loud noises still made her want to dive on the floor and cry. “Sorry.” He said when he walked into the living room. She nodded and picked her book up, before looking out the window once more. Ron looked out the window and frowned. “What are they doing?” He asked. Hermione shrugged and stood, standing so close to the window fog marks appeared where her breath had hit. Ron opened the window and called for them to come in.

“I went to visit Grandma!” He announced once everyone was gathered at the dinner table. Rose pouted slightly, she loved grandma. Hermione smiled and patted Rose’s hand. “Don’t be spoiled.” Hermione chided, although she was only reminding because it was her duty as a mother. Hugo was quiet, down at his end of the table and Hermione turned her head to face him, her warm brown eyes fixing themselves upon his brown batch of hair. “Yes, Hugo?” She asked. Hugo smiled mischievously at Rose and the latter nodded, quite solemnly. “Can we go camping?” Hugo blurted, casting puppy dog eyes on whomever would look at him. Rose giggled and eyes her mother, who was now staring vacantly at the table. “No.” Ron said, rather sharply. Hugo and Rose frowned. “Why not?” Hugo whined, placing his chin on the edge of the table. Hermione blinked and stared at the boy, dumbfounded. “Bad memories.” Hermione said softly, smiling a watery smile at Hugo, who was looking rather worried about the whole issue. After that day, nobody talked about camping, and the tent in the backyard went down, moved instead to the basement where Hermione never visited. Ron tended to avoid looking at the basement tent and there it stayed until Rose went to Hogwarts, and Hugo would hide in there, lonely as he was.

Why the Greeks would have won during the Roman Invasion at Camp Half-Blood

From time to time I think about the worst case scenario in which the Greeks and Romans actually fight on Half-Blood Hill.

Throughout the series, the way they describe the legion is as an unstoppable force that would make the Greek demigods falter and be crushed in that they were out matched in every sense - sheer numbers, skills, and tactics, but I actually think that the Greeks would win, hear me out.

1. The Greeks live in a camp with a forest that comes stocked with monsters to fight and train against. They live in near constant danger.

2. Because all the Greeks are 1st generation demigods they are likely more in touch with their godly parentage. (There’s not a whole lot of evidence of this, but if Octavian is the Augur for the romans and he’s a distant descendent I’m inclined to believe that not many of them have much control over their parents domain/sphere of influence)

3. The Greeks - 30-40 strong defended Olympus: against hordes of monsters, titans, and turned gods and goddesses - ALONE. And since then the survivors have been training along side the newer campers, teaching them how to stay alive.

4. When Percy first arrived at Camp Jupiter and played in the legion’s war games, none of the Roman defenders knew how to defend or stop Percy’s fighting style - which is VERY much Greek. (Yes I know he had the help of a miniature hurricane, but mainly kept projectiles away from him. The romans utilize numbers while the Greeks utilize surroundings. 

5. Half-Blood Hill is where the Greeks are strongest. Literally a home field advantage. Almost every Greek demigod reaches Thalia’s Tree against the odds of a pursuing monster.

6. The Greeks have always been more attuned to other creatures in their world. They have more friends - both beast and human. Percy can call upon the Cyclopes in Poseidon’s Forge (because let’s be honest- you hurt Percy’s home Tyson will kill you dead), Grover can rally all the nature spirits in a 5 mile radius as a Lord of the Wild, Chiron could theoretically ask for the aid of the Party Ponies - which would really terrify the Romans as centaurs are seen as evil beings to them (also noted by Percy that evil centaurs felt wrong to him), worse comes to worse, Thalia and the Hunters of Artemis would likely lend a hand too, despite their grudge with the campers -which was eased during the battle of manhattan to a friendly rivalry (also, the hunters were very much a Greek tribe of warrior women) because CHB is their second home — basically what I’m saying is that the Greeks could easily rally enough supporters to triple or quadruple their numbers, enough to match those of the Roman camp

7. But Matt… what about the roman’s Eagles, their elephant, and the Amazons? Listen. The eagles are very good at scouting and recovering but they make easy targets for the Apollo cabin to shoot out of the sky. The Amazon’s have no stake in the squabble- it’s unlikely that they would come to the aid of a conquering force: the amazons have always been known as defenders - their own homelands, Coming to aid Troy - they always get something out of it. And I’m sorry but Hannibal would barely make it up Half-Blood Hill before Peleus ripped him apart.

8. This is definitely not the first time the Greeks have been ambushed at CHB. The will have tons of defenses laying in wait. Many, even they forgot we’re there. After Thalia’s Tree was posioned Monsters could break through the magical barrier protecting camp - showing how quickly the Greeks could respond to an attack, and how deadly they could be be even in pajamas and half armored up. Not to mention how rapidly they were able to establish a countermeasure for the Battle of the Labyrinth at Zeus’ Fist.

9. The way CHB is set up, gives each cabin a voice, a way to promote their strengths in times of need - the Athena and Ares cabin would easily dominate the warfront and strategy talks while the other campers race around thickening the brush in the forest, added more gadgets and automaton defenses, prepping weapons, laying distractions, setting up hunters perches in strategic places, fortifying camp and adding bunkers and hideouts to sneak around (we all know the Greeks are cunning- it how they survive when numbers are low - think Trojan War, Battle of Manhattan, All of Percabeths time in Tartarus is just showcasing the inherent trait they all share.)

10. The Roman legion is literally without proper leadership. Both acting Praetors are off field - yes Reyna is returning, but even she would likely not support the attack on CHB after learning everything she has and traveling with the the Statue of Athena and fighting alongside Greeks.

11. And let me say- I know we had more time with the Greeks but even the powers that some of the halfbloods at camp Jupiter have seen relatively unimpressive: the most spectacular being Jason who can control the winds - but the Greeks can bless and curse weaponry (Ares/Athena), necromancy and mist manipulation (via Hecate cabin), and the ability to put others to sleep and plague their dreams (Hypnos) to name a few. The connection to the gods was always stronger in Greece than in Rome.

12. The Greeks fight with no rules. Everything is about survival. And they (as a whole) always survive. The romans fight was a kind of respect, for a lack of a better word.

13. You better believe there would be some monstrous tag teams from the Hephaestus-Hermès co-op that would do some SERIOUS damage… and no one wants to be on the receiving end of a Hephaestus machine or a Hermès prank.

14. Culturally speaking, if the romans could even destroy the Greeks it would entirely decimate their own culture. Their gods only exist because they were adopted from their Greek forms - some were literally just pull straight over - ie Apollo (didn’t even get a name change smh). The Greeks could theoretically decimate the Roman camp and remain unaffected by the blow back as their pantheon would remain intact. (But that’s hypothetical)

Demigod’s and Mornings

Percy is sooo not a morning person and is likely to use soap instead of toothpaste unintentionally

Leo is the same way, he once poured coffee into his cereal and ate it anyways

Piper is always angry when she wakes up and will cuss you out if you try to talk to her

Annabeth is completely unresponsive in the morning and should not be held responsible for anything she did before her morning coffee

Jason actually likes mornings and goes on 6am jogs (can’t relate)

Frank usually joins Jason on those jogs

Hazel is a morning person and is pretty productive during that time

Nico detests mornings and will not get up even if you throw him off the bed

Calypso loves mornings and can usually be found gardening early in the day

Reyna is pretty neutral on mornings and spends them planning things for the legion

Rachel is a freak of nature and will be awake at 4am painting (yes I know she’s not a demigod I just wanted to add her)

Will, despite being a child of Apollo despises mornings and will probably be found surrounded by several coffee mugs

Grover enjoys mornings and spends them outside hiking

Decided to make a slightly more inclusive version of this meme. Lets keep the list going though.
