Chapter 1 the Leaky Cauldron

"Let me get this straight, Chiron," Reyna said, slowly, "Hecate chose eighteen demigods, and a few friends to go to this school, for witch craft and wizardry, to protect a thirteen year old boy?"
"Yes, Reyna," Chiron nodded, "Strange, I know."
"And who are these demigods?" Reyna said, calmly.
"You know most of them," Chiron said, handing her a list, "A few of them already know, but I need you to tell Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Frank Zhang, and Hazel Levesque for me. I understand they are at Camp Jupiter at the moment, no?"
"Yes, they are, Chiron," Reyna said, looking over the list, "There is a mortal on this list, is there a reason she is coming on this trip?"
"Ah, yes, that would be Rachel Elizabeth Dare, she is our oracle," Chiron said, "Apparently Hecate wants to teach Professor Trelawny about true prophecy through Rachel, I agreed."
Reyna nodded, "When we be leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"Then I better get busy," Reyna said, nodding curtly, "It was nice seeing you, Chiron."
"It was nice seeing you to, Reyna," Chiron said.

"Hey, Reyna," Jason said, sitting down in one of the two chairs across from her desk.
Piper sat in the other one, the two demigods held hands and stared at Reyna worriedly.
"What do you two have planned tomorrow?" Reyna asked.
Piper and Jason shared glances.
"Nothing much," Piper said, "We were going to train but otherwise we are free, what do you want us to do, Reyna?"
"Hecate has chosen eighteen demigods and a few others to go to a school for witch craft and wizardry." Reyna said, "Those eighteen will protect a thirteen year old boy who is being hunted by a dark wizard. You two are one of the eighteen Hecate picked. We are leaving tomorrow."
"So you are going to?" Piper asked.
"Me and my sister," Reyna nodded, "But my sister isn't too happy about it."
"She will be the oldest demigod there," Jason realized.
"Yes," Reyna nodded, "We will have three adults in our group."
"Three!" Piper's mouth dropped open.
"Yes, in the world of Magic, age seventeen is the age you become an adult."
"You mean Percy's an adult!?" Jason said.
"By magic standards, yes," Reyna grinned.
"Great!" Jason groaned, "This is going to be a disaster."
"Anyway, a few wizards will be coming tomorrow to pick us up." Reyna nodded. "So who else is going on this trip?" Piper asked.
Reyna handed her the list, "The seven and a bunch of others."

Reyna and Hylla stood with the others who were coming along.
Annabeth was rifling through Percy's backpack, pulling out gallon sized bags filled with blue chocolate chip cookies. When she was finished there was about 25 gallon bags of cookies.
"Percy! You can't bring all of these!"
"I was going to be very hungry!" Percy said, "I didn't know how much to bring."
Frank and Hazel were holding hands and talking quietly together as they rocked in the Big House's white rocking chairs.
Piper and Jason were sitting on the ground eating lunch.
Leo was showing Calypso his smart phone.
A satyr and a nymph, Grover and Juniper, were talking about their campaign, 'Save the Wild.'
Rachel Elizabeth Dare was coloring with markers on a white t-shirt, her jeans and blue t-shirt were covered in doodles.
Clarisse and her boyfriend Chris were sparring.
The Stoll brothers were laughing and giving Thalia Grace some looks that made Reyna wonder what prank they had played on Thalia.
Coach Hedge was holding his satyr Chuck and talking closely with his wife, Mellie, a wind spirit.
Clovis was sleeping in the grass, beside him was three pillows, a night cap, and pajamas. Clovis had really made his packing simple.
Hylla ran over to Thalia and the two began a very fast conversation with a lot of hand movements.
Reyna started looking for Nico, his name was on the list, and she knew that Percy had had a lot of work to convince the kid to come, eventually Nico had agreed.
Finally she spotted Nico lurking in the shadows, Reyna jogged over.
"Reyna!" Nico asked, he still had terrible scratches all over him from when they had a little trouble with Lycaon and his pack of werewolves. "It's great to see you here."
"Great to see you to, Nico," Reyna grinned, "What's up?"
"The sky."
"Nico!"
"Nothin' much," Nico said, shrugging, "I finally got the Hades cabin looking somewhat decent though."
"Great," Reyna said, "The inside of that cabin was kind of creepy."
"Yeah, it made children of Hades – and Pluto – look like vampires," Nico agreed, "Anyway, do you know where this school is?"
"London? Somewhere in England, I think," Reyna said, nodding.
"London?" Nico choked, "Why London?"
"No idea, it's an English school for Witch Craft and Wizardry."
"Well, that explains why Hecate picked us out to help," Nico said.
"Yeah," Reyna said, smiling, "Say, Death Breath, do you know who this dark wizard is?"
"Just because my dad is the lord of dark things doesn't mean I know what anything dark is," Nico informed her.
"Sorry."
"It's okay. But I happen to know who this dark wizard is. My dad made me do his paper work," Nico grumbled, "My dad hates paper work."
"So, could you tell me something about this dark wizard?" Reyna said cautiously.
"His name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and some how he has found a way to cheat death." Nico said, simply, "That's all I wish to say about It."
"Fine with me," Reyna said, suddenly a loud popping noise filled the air, and a bunch of people appeared in the yard.
"What in the Hades was that," Reyna cursed, turning around.
Chiron wheeled his chair down toward the people, he then got up and pulled out his horse body and started trotting toward the group.
Reyna heard one of the people breath, "Expansion charm?"
"Welcome wizards and witches, please meet my students," Chiron said, his tail swished nervously.
"Jason Grace," Jason said, stepping forward.
"Piper McLean," Piper waved.
"Hazel Levesque," Hazel said, shyly.
"Praeter Frank Zhang of the twelfth legion of New Rome," Frank nodded.
"Percy Jackson," Percy said, taking a big bite of a blue chocolate chip cookie.
"Annabeth Chase," Annabeth said, taking the bag of cookies from Percy.
"The one and only! Supreme Commander of Argos II-"
"Just get on with it, Leo," Piper grumbled.
"As you wish, Beauty Queen," Leo did a little bow, "LEO VALDEZ!"
"Calypso," Calypso said, twirling a daisy in her hands.
"Clarisse La Rue," Clarisse said, scowling.
"Chris Rodriquez," Chris nodded.
"Juniper," Juniper, the nymph curtseyed.
"Grover Underwood," Grover bleated.
"Rachel Elizabeth Dare," Rachel said, her eyes glowed eerily green, then settled back to normal.
"Lou Ellen," The daughter of Hecate smiled, she raised her hands, and a flower appeared in her hands.
"Hylla," Hylla clapped her mouth shut and didn't say her last name.
"Praeter Reyna Avila Ramirez-Arellana of the twelfth legion of New Rome." Reyna smirked, "Hylla's younger sister." She playfully tossed her silver pocketknife in the air and caught it.
"Thalia," Thalia said, she glared at Jason, who had opened his mouth to speak, "I'm Jason's older sister."
"Katie Gardner," Katie said, in her hands a tulip opened and closed.
"Travis-"
"and Conner-"
"Stoll," The brothers grinned mischievously.
"Nico de Angelo," Nico muttered.
"Will Solace," Will grinned, his light blue shirt said, THE DOC IS IN.
"Gleeson Hedge," Coach Hedge grunted, "I'm here because I need to keep these trouble makers in line."
"Makes sense," An older woman said sternly, she turned to Chiron, "And you say they will protect Potter?"
"Yes," Chiron said, "They will be honored to."
"And you say some of them are demigods?" The woman said, she said it like she couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Minerva," Chiron said.
"Minerva?" Annabeth said coldly, "Why is she here?"
"This is Minerva McGonagall, she is one of the professors at the school," Chiron explained, "One last thing, the pupils at this school will have no idea you are protecting Harry Potter, and they won't know you are demigods, understood?"
"Yes, Chiron," The teens muttered.
"Good," Minerva McGonagall said, "Each of us can take two, so find a partner and we will come to you. Flitwick? Could you bring the baggage?"
A very short man nodded and held up his wand, and muttered a few words, everyone's baggage instantly disappeared.
Everyone gasped.
"Partners, now!" Professor McGonagall ordered.
Hylla and Reyna sighed and stood next to each other.
Annabeth and Percy, that wasn't a shocker.
Piper and Jason, that wasn't a surprise either.
Travis and Katie! Okay, that was surprising, Travis and Conner were always partners.
Leo and Calypso.
Hazel and Frank.
Grover and Juniper.
Clarisse and Chris.
Conner and Will Solace.
Thalia and Rachel.
Nico and Clovis, Nico looked extremely awkward.
Rachel and Thalia.
Lou Ellen and Coach Hedge.
Then the wizards and witches all started going toward a pair, soon each pair had a wizard or witch.
"Professor Remus Lupin," A man with shaggy gray hair introduced himself to Reyna and Hylla.
Reyna nodded, "Nice to meet you, were you named after one Romulus's brother?"
"I don't think so," Professor Lupin smiled, but Reyna knew that he was actually wincing.
"Listen up, students," Professor McGonogall said, "Grab you wizard or witches arm, and hold on tightly. The wizard or witch will apparate you next to the Leaky Cauldron, understand?"
Everyone nodded slowly.
Remus offered his arm and the two girls grabbed them.
"What happened to your friend?" Lupin asked, cocking his head toward Nico.
"Nico?" Reyna asked.
"Yeah, did he pick a fight with a bobcat?" Lupin smiled weakly.
"No, we ran into some trouble with werewolves a few months ago," Reyna sighed, "He didn't come out of it too well."
Lupin turned ashen gray, and he winced.
"Is something wrong?" Hylla asked him concerned.
"No, everything is fine," Lupin tried to smile, but it looked like he was wincing.
The other groups were starting to disappear with loud pops.
Lupin spun around, and with a loud pop Hylla and Reyna suddenly gasped as the air suddenly left their lungs. Everything was pushing and pulling them and Reyna felt like she was being squeezed to death and then she felt like she being pulled apart. Definitely not her favorite way of transportation, shadow traveling was way better than this, and that . . . that's saying a lot.
When everything stopped and Reyna decided it was safe to open her eyes, she realized she was holding her silver knife in her hand posed for battle. Talk about being a warrior, the transportation had kicked her reflexes into think she needed to be on guard. She tossed her knife in the air and caught it, quickly sticking it into her boot.
"Why do you carry that around anyway?" Lupin asked.
"It's silver so it would pass right through any monster," Reyna said.
"So why carry it around?" Lupin asked, smiling.
"I have a long history with werewolves," Reyna said, "Silver is the only thing that can harm a werewolf, so I carry it around just in case."
Lupin flinched.
Hylla narrowed her eyes, Reyna noticed she was farther away from them and she headed over to her sister.
"What's wrong, sis?" Reyna said, cheerfully noticing everyone was appearing around them.
"There's a strong magically barrier right here," Hylla said, twisting silver ring, "I don't like it."
"Hazel joined them, her gold eyes shimmered.
"I feel it to," Hazel said, "Maybe if I can just get past it." Hazel closed her eyes and concentrated deeply.
The alley began to shimmer and suddenly as if a curtain had dropped, there was a building there with an old wooden sign that creaked as the wind hit it. The wooden sign said The Leaky Cauldron.
"Isn't that the place where we are supposed to stay for a little bit?" Leo asked, brightly, "No wonder that is where we are staying here before school starts, it's so cheerful." Sarcasm rang loud in clear in Leo's voice and the Stolls snickered.
Professor McGonagall frowned disapprovingly, but Leo was right, the Leaky Cauldron looked gloomy.
Lupin grinned for second as if remembering something, then became gloom once again.
"Thank you, everyone for helping, you may go," McGonagall said, her mouth was set in a straight line.
"You're welcome, Minerva," Lupin said, a few others nodded and then they all started disappearing with a loud crack.
McGonagall marched toward the doors and opened them,
"In you go," She frowned at the Stolls and muttered something about Weasleys, then she added, "Quickly now."
A group of more than twenty entering a bar at once will never succeed in secrecy about coming in. Everyone in the bar noticed the group come in, and the bar had become silent, then the whispers started.
The staring didn't seem to affect Professor McGonagall though, she marched right up to the bartender.
"Tom, are the rooms ready?" Professor McGonagall asked strictly.
"Yes, Minerva," The bartender nodded, setting down a grimy glass he had been scrubbing with a rag.
"Right this way, Minerva," The bartender led the group over to a corner where he opened a door and there was a large flight of stairs. The group followed him as he brought them up a few flights of stairs.
"Rooms, one through ten are ready," Tom the bartender told Minerva, "Fifteen and sixteen are also ready."
McGonagall nodded.
"Coach Hedge has room one," McGonagall said, she waved her wand and a piece of paper appeared on the wall. "The rest of the assignments are on that paper, you will find your baggage in you rooms. I expect perfect behavior. Tom will give your meals, they have already been paid for and you can explore Diagon Alley. Your money are at Gringotts, that's a bank run by goblins, your keys our in this bag." Professor McGonagall held up a large leather bag and handed it to Hylla.
"I trust you will hand them out when the owners ask for them?" Professor McGonagall asked sharply.
Hylla nodded and didn't say anything.
"Good," McGonagall said, "If you have any more questions, Tom can answer them, I must go." Professor McGonagall strode out of the hallway and down the stairs.
"Well," Leo said, "She's friendly."
Travis snorted, "Did you see that look she gave Conner and I, did you guys hear what she said?"
"She said Weasleys," Grover said.
"I wonder what a weasley is?" Conner said, "I'm sure it wasn't a compliment."
"Or it could be someone," Annabeth said, "Like a last name."
"Let's look at the list, everyone," Thalia interrupted, "And get unpacked before any-"
"Could we hurry up?" Nico groaned, "I'm going to drop him eventually."
Everyone looked at him. Nico was trying to support a sleeping Clovis. Clovis snored rather loudly, then leaned farther back. Nico struggled under the weight of the sleeping Clovis.
Jason and Percy laughed, as they went back and together, they picked up the dreaming Clovis.
Annabeth turned to the paper and pulled it off the wall. The writing looked handwritten in an emerald ink.

Jason Grace and Leo Valdez - Room 1
Percy Jackson and Frank Zhang - Room 3
Conner Stoll and Travis Stoll - Room 5
Nico de Angelo and Clovis - Room 7
Grover Underwood, Christopher Rodriguez, and Will Solace - Room 9
Hazel Levesque and Calypso - Room 2
Annabeth Chase and Piper McLean - Room 4
Thalia Grace and Hylla Ramirez-Arellana - Room 6
Clarisse La Rue and Reyna Ramirez-Arellana - Room 8
Rachel Elizabeth Dare and Katie Gardner - Room 10
Coach Gleeson Hedge - Room 16

"Clovis is in room seven, Percy and Jason," Annabeth told the two boys, "Just put him in bed."
The two boys nodded and with ease walked to Room seven with Clovis.
"I'm sharing a room with Clovis!" Nico said, upset, "I'll sleep for a week if I share a room with him!"
"I'm sure this will wake you up, Death Breath," Travis said, pulling a miniature horn out of his pocket, and blowing on it hard.
Everyone grabbed their ears as the earsplitting shriek filled the air.
"That will wake up the dead," Nico gasped, clutching his ears. A loud snore echoed down the hallway, "Except Clovis."
Everyone laughed and walked into their rooms for a good night sleep, all except Percy who decided to look out the window for a little bit. Little did he know what he would over hear.

So this is my first chapter, and I know it was kind of slow. I promise Harry, Hermione, and Ron will be in the next chapter. And if you haven't noticed this takes place after the war with Gaea and it is during Harry's third year.
