Percy

"Percy.." The words just barely made it to him. "Wake up.."

He opened his eyes and came face to face with Annabeth. He sat himself up and Annabeth sat down beside him. Her face looked worried, her grey eyes churned with stormy clouds.

"What is it?" Percy asked, placing his hand on his girlfriend's. She looked him straight in the eyes.

"Chiron has a quest, for us," she said gravely. "And the rest of the Argo II crew. We're leaving tomorrow morning."

KPercy took a moment to process then pushed back his covers and stood, he was still wearing his clothes from the day before, they were disheveled but wearable. He grabbed Annabeth's wrist and lead her out the door of the Poseidon cabin.

Eventually she pulled her arm free and kept up with his pace. He stormed up he steps of the Big House and gave a few sharp knocks on the door. A familiar centaur greeted them. But Percy didn't care for pleasantries.

Percy and Annabeth exchanged glances then followed Chiron inside. They sat down around the Ping-Pong table and waited for the others. Within ten minutes they had the whole crew present.

"I know this is very last minute," said Chiron. "But we can't wait any longer. The wizarding world is in danger."

"Wizards?" Asked Leo. "You mean like pointy hatted dudes with magic sticks?"

"In essence, yes," replied Chiron. "The biggest threat to the wizarding world has recently been destroyed. But I fear it is only the beginning. With the death of my old friend Albus, I've had no news of their realm. I want to send you seven to Hogwarts as exchange students, to collect information for me, and to help protect the students. I've heard rumours of kidnappings, and I don't want anyone else to be in danger."

"Hold up," said Piper. "Are we going to have to take magic classes there? Do we need magic? Are we just going as demigods?"

"You will need to go undercover as wizards and learn spells and take their classes," answered Chiron. "We don't want to start a riot, the Wizards have no knowledge of the gods, and we don't want to frighten them more."

"So about the magic part," said Leo. "We don't have any of it."

"Yes it does seem like a troubling problem, doesn't it," said Chiron. "But, Lady Hecate has agreed to gift you with wizarding powers for the duration of your quest. She should be arriving this afternoon."

"I'm going to go pack," said Annabeth. She stood and left. Slowly the rest of the campers dispersed, Percy solemnly marched back to his cabin and began to throw his belongings into a bag. Which wasn't much. A few extra camp shirts, some shorts, a Minotaur horn, and a photo of the Argo II crew.

As soon as he was zipping his duffle bag shut, Annabeth appeared in the door. "Hecate's here."

"But it's like ten o'clock," Percy groaned.

"She's a goddess, time and following others commands aren't really her thing, just be glad she showed."

Percy shouldered his bag and followed her to the forest, they stopped in a clearing where Piper and Leo sat, deep in discussion. Leo was tinkering with some parts and Piper was pulling up grass and watching it float on the wind. The pair sat down next to them and joined in in their discussion about their quest.

Soon Jason, Hazel, and Frank showed up, having just returned from Camp Jupiter last night, they still had some things to do. They all sat down in a circle when Chiron galloped into the clearing, Hecate was by his side.

"I don't like to give away magic," she said. "It gives mortals too much power, but you all have earned it. Use it well."

Seven orbs appeared in the air, they were all golden and translucent. One hovered above each of the seven. Then all at once they dropped and were absorbed by their bodies. Annabeth seemed the most shocked when it happened, she'd never had powers before, unlike the others.

"Now for your wands, I don't want you going there looking like fools," said Hecate. "I've had them specially made. For Percy cedar with a pegasus feather core."

"For Annabeth walnut with owls feather core."

"For Jason ebony with imperial gold core."

"For Piper willow with doves feather core."

"For Frank cypress with eagles feather core."

"For Hazel aspen with a hair from Arion himself."

"And for Leo, a fire-proof redwood with a Phoenix feather core."

The wands flew to their new owners, they all looked at them in awe, when they glanced up, Hecate was gone. Chiron left and the demigods began discussing what just happened. Percy swished his wand around in air, sparks flying aimlessly.

"Put that down before you kill one of us," said Annabeth. "I don't trust you with magic. I don't trust anything with magic. There's a reason demigods don't wield it."

"Well get used to it," replied Jason. "We're being sent away to a magic school tomorrow. I think we'll have to cast a couple spells to keep our cover."

The demigods hung out for the rest of the day, practicing with their swords, canoeing in the lake, Percy almost tipped the boat a few times by sending waves through the lake. They sat together at the campfire and watched the night fade away.

Percy gave Annabeth a good night kiss then retreated to his cabin. He flopped on his bed, almost crushing his new wand, before falling asleep. But being a demigod, sleep was anything but peaceful.
