Hi readers! Quick A/N here. I'm following with fair accuracy to OotP, but not really to BoO. Some things, yes, but it just gets too mucky if I'm all for it. No Frazel in this story, but they do appear from time to time.

Ages-

Fifth years

Thalia and Lou, fifteen.

Leo, Jason and Piper, sixteen.

Percy and Annabeth. Seventeen, but lie about their age and say sixteen

Fourth year

Nico, fourteen.

Piper, Chapter One. Welcome to London.

"No way in Hades!" Percy was half yelling at this point. We had been sitting here for the past half hour, all fighting. Whether against Chiron, or amongst each other. Annabeth and I were the only ones who were actually being even quiet, apart from Thalia, but she was all for the idea, having already been briefed by Artemis about this.

Shipping us to Britain? For a year? Chiron hadn't even truly explained why.

"QUIET!" Chiron commanded, and suddenly the overly loud sitting room in the big house fell silent.

"It will be relatively safe at Hogwarts," Chiron began, and I could feel Leo shaking with silent laughter from beside me. Every time somebody mentioned that name he cracked up like no other. "The government there is doing nothing to help, and the Headmaster, who is an old friend of mine, asked for our help. They are fighting a war, but most of them refuse to realize it,"

"I took it to the Olympians, and they constructed the team set to go, apparently all of you have a certain use. Now, I know the war with Gaea ended only recently, and you all are quite ready to relax I'm sure, but think about it. Spending your time in the countryside, with monsters unable to attack, safe from the world. You'll be called on very little, if at all,"

Chiron paused, gauging our reactions, seeming surprised we were all listening so intently, and continued. "It's more of a safety measure than anything, to keep the Chosen one, the main child in a prophecy that could instigate the defeat Voldemort..."

Leo erupted into silent giggles again, making me elbow him hard in the side as I lost track of where Chiron was.

"Lou will provide you with all of the knowledge you need. She has of course, met with more than a few wizards and witches in her time," Chiron gestured to Lou, who gave a small wave from where she sat, before adding onto Chiron's statement. "I even attended their World Cup last year. Let me tell you, they do need help," the child of Hecate's hardset purple eyes latched onto me, boring into my skull. It unnerved me, how she could do that. At the beginning of this meeting, her eyes were brown.

I could feel Annabeth's gray eyes boring into me as my eyes scanned the room at a leisurely pace. I finally locked eyes with her, and we had a silent conversation as talking broke out amongst the group again. 'What's your take?' I shrugged in response. It sounded good, better then the school my dad had somehow talked me into attending, this Clarion Ladies Academy. I nodded.

"I'll go," Annabeth said immediately. Percy whispered something in her ear, and she turned to talk to him. I couldn't catch what they were saying, but it seemed like an argument.

"What do you think Pipes?" Jason asked, squeezing my hand. I glanced up at him, his blond hair just falling above his eyes. He looked cuter with longer hair.

"I'm all for it," Jason nodded and then announced "Piper and I will go,"

Thalia muttered something like "Finally," as she crossed her arms.

That made Thalia, Annabeth, Jason, Me, and soon to be Lou and Percy. Jason would get Nico to come, Jason had already turned to whisper to the dark haired boy. What about Leo though?

I turned to Leo, who sat beside me fiddling with some plastic wrap and paper clips. From what I could see resting on his lap, he was making a small, clear house. "What about it Repair Boy? Want to go burn down London?"

Leo glanced up at me. "Haha. Nice one Beauty Queen. But sure, why the heck not? Plus I have a whole school to tell all my jokes on," Leo grinned. I had a feeling that if his relationship with Calypso had worked out, he would be singing a different tune. The two of them had dated for two months before breaking it off. Calypso was now out globetrotting, seeing and experiencing all that she had missed.

I knew that all of New York, all of Camp Half Blood must be a living reminder of their relationship. Since the war with Gaea ended a few months ago, my powers had been growing stronger. If I worked at it long enough, I could make her nose look a little longer, my skin a little darker, my eyes a certain color. Nothing very drastic though, and it was even harder to get myself back to normal.

I could also sense things. I thought of that as more of a curse than anything though. I could feel when Annabeth was planning a surprise birthday for me, or when somebody posted embarrassing photos of me around camp (three guesses as to who,) and my half siblings tried to hide it from me to save my feelings. Things like that.

Jason's unnaturally tight squeeze around my hand brought me back to the present, where Chiron was looking at me expectantly. "Sorry, I sort of drifted," I apologized.

"Would your father mind if you pulled out of the school you were planning to attend this school year?" He asked.

I shook my head. "And if he does dislike it, well then too bad for him. I'm going."

"Lucky!" Sierra exclaimed for the millionth time since finding out I was leaving last night. I sighed as I packed clothes into the trunk Chiron had provided for me. It was rather small, and mint green, proclaiming in curly letters Piper M. that almost looked like my handwriting.

It seemed larger on the inside, but not by a noticeable bit. I had stacked all the heavy things on the bottom, and was currently packing the top layers of my clothes. We were going to leave as soon as I was packed – I had been so tired last night I had completely forgotten to get all my things together and we could possibly be late if I took much longer.

"Here! All of my cutest clothes!" Alison panted, stuffing into my trunk a bunch of folded clothes and bags zip locked with shoes in them. I then squished my bedding in, and latched the trunk shut. With a nod of thanks to Alison, I grabbed my already packed up backpack, slinging it onto my shoulders and picked up my trunk in both hands with a 'hunf' and headed towards the door.

"Piper! Your dagger?" I turned around as fast as I could, and my dagger sheath hung out from Alison's hand. With a smile I grabbed it and headed out the door. "Alison, you're in charge. See you all next summer!" And with that, the door closed behind me with a snap as I stepped out onto the path. I ran as fast as I could towards the Big House.

It was still early – as to why my siblings had arose to watch me pack was beyond me, and it was rather cold, as it is in late summer mornings. Dew squelched under my flip flops, and by the time I reached the parking lot my feet were drenched in the stuff.

Leo was leaning against the van, tapping his fingers as he watched Thalia and Percy bicker. Jason and Nico were talking, and Lou was already in the car. I didn't even know where Annabeth was, actually.

"Thalia! Percy! Stop fighting, we're leaving," I ordered, mixing charm speak into my voice.

"But I'm right!" Percy complained, making Thalia's hair spark as she let off a low growl.

"It doesn't matter if you're right. Hype yourself up, in half an hour we'll be 40,000 feet in the air," my statement made Thalia pale as well as Percy, which I considered a good effect on the two. Jason opened the door to the van for me, and I handed him my trunk. He stowed it under the seats, and then I took a seat beside him in the front row.

Annabeth appeared from the direction of camp, holding a cooler and some sort of hiking backpack.

"Sorry I was late. Ready to go?" She asked. Nico hopped in the front as Annabeth clambered over me to sit beside Percy. Thalia, rather disgruntled as her cousin was sitting in the row behind her, constantly flicking her in the ear, moved up and sat beside Jason. Leo was the last to climb in the van, taking a seat next to Lou.

I jumped a little as Argus pulled the van out of the driveway in reverse, I hadn't even noticed he was in the car. "Leo, what are you doing?" I heard Lou ask from behind me, in a rather bemused tone. I turned around, not even bothering to buckle my seatbelt to see that the walls Leo had been building earlier had turned into so much more. A tiny apartment complex now sat on Leo's lap. His hands furiously worked with a small item he was holding. A doll?

"I'm building a city. I am supreme ruler of everything already anyways," Leo pointed out. Lou just rolled her eyes.

"Say, can you make this little person alive? I can't figure out the mechanisms," Leo held out the small doll, and from what I could see it looked a lot like Leo.

"On the plane," she muttered, making him grin.

The next eight hours where utter hell. Zeus had allowed Percy and Nico to fly, and he didn't take us down, mainly because of so many powerful demigods causes pissed off gods and goddesses, but he didn't make it fun. Every ten minutes or so, a huge jolt shook the plane. They eventually subsided, but not before Leo had to remake his little buildings about twenty times. That, and put eight ADHD demigods on a jet and what do you get? Well, I'm sure you've figured it out.

Once the time difference kicked in though, it quieted down, and by the time we got out of the airport we were wiped. Thalia even made a rather clever jab at Percy, and he was just too tired to respond.

"So what are we looking for?" I asked Annabeth with a yawn.

"Sign for Percy Jackson," she replied, yawning herself, which started a chain reaction. Leo was the one who spotted it, being held by a woman with long black hair, so black it was blue. When we got closer to her, I realized it was blue.

"Percy?" She asked Leo casually. He cracked up. "Lady, if I was Percy-" he then dissolved into a fit of laughter, and it made the rest of us chuckle.

"I'm Percy." Percy said, giving a small wave.

"Right, well I'm Tonks. There's a car waiting outside, let's go. We can introduce ourselves later. Welcome to London," Tonks motioned with her head, and we followed her out of the airport to where a large black SUV sat idling. I glanced at Annabeth, wondering how we were all going to fit in that thing, but she just shrugged and climbed in. I was second to last to get in, Leo being behind me. He whistled as he slammed the door shut behind him. The car had been elongated, with three rows of four seats each, as well as three seats in the front.

Tonks loaded the last of the trunks into the back and slammed the door shut, climbing into the front seat. The man driving turned the car into gear, not bothering to turn around to look at us. The man sitting in the middle turned around to see us. He didn't look so hot in all honesty, his hair was graying, his eyes a tad dull, and his skin sickish. He couldn't have been a day over 35 though.

"I'm Remus. Pleasure to meet you all," Remus said with a smile. Leo nodded, as if he hadn't even registered what Remus was saying – which was completely possible with him. "So what did you use to get the car so big? Anti engine? Kelvor? Also what did you put on the outside of-" Leo cut himself off as Percy sent a glare his way.

"I'm Percy Jackson. Nice to meet you," he said, in a rather polite tone. I didn't even know Percy could be polite. Annabeth must have muttered something along the same line, as Percy's cheeks turned a bit pink.

I leaned against Jason's shoulder, and before I could even introduce myself I conked out.

Jason shook me awake what seemed like a moment later. The car had pulled to a stop. "We're here," he whispered to me. I felt disoriented, but followed him out of the car into the balmy night air. It felt like three in the afternoon, but it looked like a summer night. I sighed as I was handed my trunk, and stood next to Jason. A moment later, a house grinded into existence in front of us after a slip of paper was handed around. I didn't question it, I had seen stranger things in all honesty.

I followed Tonks and Remus inside, the other man and his SUV now being gone. I wondered if he was just a driver or something, but even that didn't make much sense.

The passageway was dimly lit and rather depressing, but it led off into a large yet warm kitchen. "Your bags will be in your room." Tonks said, and with a dismissive wave of a wand our trunks went flying from our hands. I would have ogled at the thing in her hands if Lou hadn't already been playing with hers the whole flight over, making things levitate and such.

"Please, have a seat. The others will be down momentarily" She motioned to the table, and we took seats around it. Thalia seemed rather energetic after the flight, so of course as soon as Tonks left the room she began to pester Percy.

"Air disasters are better then seaaaaa disasters," She sung. Percy didn't even look up as she danced around the room, he just grabbed Annabeth's dagger and flung it at her head. She ducked, naturally, and it went flying towards the door. Just then it opened to reveal a rather petite redheaded girl a few years younger than us. It missed her by an inch, embedding in the door frame. She yelped, as did Annabeth.

"Percy! My new dagger?" She complained as she jumped up from the table and wrenched the dagger out of the wood, studying first the hole and then her dagger.

"S-s-sorry," the girl stuttered, looking scared.

"It's okay. It's not your fault," Annabeth smiled at the girl and leaned down to whisper something in her ear.

She smiled at Annabeth and a quick scolding female voice of "Ginny!" caused her to back out of the kitchen. A group of redheaded people filed in, the small girl not amongst them. After that, the kitchen begin to fill up with people. The teens of the group, two older red headed boys and three kids about our age, a brunette girl with thick hair, another redhead, and a boy who looked startlingly similar to Percy. Less tanned, skinnier, and with green eyes though instead of Percy's blue ones.

Leo muttered something in Spanish, which Annabeth laughed at. "Well, you're a rather strange bunch," a man with long black hair remarked as he leaned back in a chair, studying us.

"Sirius!" A rather short, stout woman scolded him, the same voice that had called Ginny earlier. Her red hair was tied back in a ponytail, but escaped in little frizzes here and there. "We should all introduce ourselves, no?" and they went around the room, jumping from person to person. I learned the twins were named Fred and George, though I was unsure as to which was which, and the others named Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Mrs. Weasley glanced at us expectantly from the stove, where she was making hot cocoa. Everybody was now seated, and waiting for us to introduce ourselves.

"Who's first?" Lou asked in a bored voice, twirling her wand in her fingers.

"Let's go by cabin." Thalia suggested, and we all nodded in agreement.

"My name is Jason Grace, I'm a son of Ju-Zeus" Jason didn't summon lightning, but he did levitate a few feet off of the ground. If the wizards weren't ogling before, they certainly were now.

"Are we really showing powers? We'll be here all night," Nico pointed out with a yawn, but was silenced from a glare via Thalia.

"I'm Thalia, Daughter of Zeus, Lieutenant of Artemis," the room rumbled in anticipation, hair standing on end (Hermiones quite literally,) and the smell of heavy ozone in the room. There was a flash, and a bang, and the smell of burning metal. The panes in a dirty window at the back of the room blew out, glass showering everywhere. Lou repaired it with a wave of her wand. *

"I'm Percy, Son of Poseidon," Percy stood up as Thalia sat down, and the taps in the sink turned on by themselves, the water flowing out towards Percy. It surrounded him, until he was literally encased in the stuff, in practically a walled box of water. He sat floating inside of it, apparently content to stay like that.

"Isn't he going to drown?" Remus asked with a frown. The water flew towards the sink, going down the drain at top speeds until Percy was there again, dry and unharmed. "I can breathe underwater," he explained.

Annabeth stood up next. "I'm Annabeth, Daughter of Athena," after that she just stood there for a moment. I could feel the disappointment radiating off of the twin boys.

"So do you have any powers?" The one closest to me asked Annabeth. She glared at him, and her dagger came out of her sheath. He was sitting on the chair backwards, his arms leaning over the sides casually. Her dagger went flying, and embedded itself into the wood, an inch from his hand.

"Bloody hell!" He exclaimed, jumping up. I wasn't sure if they took her accuracy as a power, or as a sign to sit down and shut up. I pulled the dagger out of the wood, and tossed it back to Annabeth, who caught it easily. "Might as well since it's already ruined," she muttered ruefully, glaring at her boyfriend.

Leo stood up next, smiling. Mrs. Weasley first set down mugs of cocoa for everyone. "I'm Leo Valdez, Bad boy supreme, Awesome commander of the Argo II-" I cut him off there. "Repair boy..." I said in a warning tone. He held up his hands in defense. "Alright alright! I'm Leo Valdez, Son of Hephaestus. And, Lou could you belt out some Fall out Boy for me?" Leo asked. Lou rolled her eyes but jumped in on the chorus after staring at Leo like he was a mad man for twenty seconds. Her eyes were blue now.

"My songs know what you did in the daaaaaaaark... So light em up up up light em up up up light em up up up I'm on fireeeee!" And Leo burst into flame. The wizards yelp, and Ron throws a glass of water on him, but it only fizzes for a moment. Leo extinguishes himself a moment later, finding his Camp Half Blood tee shirt in tatters around his mid riff. "Ah well. Crop tops are in fashion, right Pipes?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes in response. He sat down and began to sip his cocoa. I stood up. "I'm Piper McLean, Daughter of Aphrodite," this instantly peaked the three Weasley boy's attention, and Harry looked up, now interested. "And for my power, I need a volunteer," the second Weasley twin was the first to jump up. "Okay then. What's your name?" I asked with a smile.

"Fred..." He trailed off, uncertain of where I was going. "Okay Fred. Now, I want you to give me your wand and then go tell your little brother he's the prettiest human being you've ever seen," I poured my charm speak into the words, and caused Thalia to say "Jason you're the-" before she snapped out of it. Fred handed me his wand, which I took as wizards did not give to strangers lightly, and went over to Ron, showering him with compliments.

"Okay, that's enough," I said. Fred snapped out of it, and then glared at me. I just smiled, and he stopped. I leaned my head into the crook of Jason's neck, content and happy.

"I suppose I'm next," Nico said. He had been quiet for most of the meeting so far, staying silent on the far end of the table. "I'm Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades."

He held out a hand and closed his eyes. The room was dead silent. And then, there was a scream from upstairs. Ginny, who we met earlier, came barreling into the room and promptly jumped into her mothers arms. An army of small skeletons marched into the room. Nico moved his fingers around lazily, making them square dance, do the tango. And then, they all climbed towards the window, somehow opening it and crawling out, a steady stream of bone animals.

"Curious as to why you had so many bones here," he remarked quietly.

That left Lou, who everybody turned to. She had been barely paying attention this whole time, flipping through a magazine she had pulled out of nowhere. "Hmm? Oh is it my turn? I'm Lou Ellen. Hello," she waved her fingers lightly and turned her attention back to her magazine, adjusting the beanie hiding half of her hair.

"Who's your godly parent then?" Ron asked, rather rude about it.

"Hecate," she flipped a page, studying it carelessly.

"Hecate?" Hermione asked with a frown, not recognizing the name.

"I'm a bit like you guys, but better. My mom blessed the first of you wizards, and continues to do so. I'm her daughter," she shrugged, apparently not wanting to put on a show.

"I have so many questions for you." Mr. Weasley said eagerly.

"Now now, they're practically passing out! Why don't we do all of that tomorrow, and all of you get upstairs," it was supposed to be a question, but it was phrased as an order, one which we demigods where more than happy to carry out. After I gave Jason a quick kiss goodnight, Annabeth, Lou, Thalia, and I followed Hermione up the stairs, Ginny trailing behind us, where extra beds had already been set up in their bedroom, preparing for our arrival.

The trunks followed us, apparently charmed to do so. I just collapsed onto an empty bed and passed out.

*I know, the Kitchen is in a basement, but the kind of basement's I've been in have survival windows at least.

A/N: Okay! First chapter! I have about 16,000 words written so I was like, hey post it you dolt! I'm sorry if I missed any typos or such, it's a long chapter. Again, I'll alert you when I change up the story a bit.

If you wouldn't mind, a review would be great :D
