Hey a special thanks to everyone who reviewed on the Prologue, It means a lot when you take the time to review on something that I wrote. Anyway I'll get on with the story.
Jason's POV:
"So, uh, who's gonna wake them up?" I asked. I was outside the Poseidon cabin with Annabeth, Piper, Nico and Hazel.
"Pfft. Well I vote Jason." Nico smirked.
"W-what! Why me?" I stuttered.
"Because Percy will kill me if I wake him up and you don't want Piper or Hazel to do it, Do you? Besides Poseidon might through a fit if Annabeth goes in there, him and Athena aren't really Percabeth shippers." Nico Explained. Dam.
"Come on Jason." Piper said in her good girl voice, "You don't want to make me use Charmspeak, do you?"
"Whatever, I'll wake up Jackson, but there is no way I am waking up Evie, she'll freak." Evie never really liked me after Zeus (my dad) cursed her with the powers to shapeshift, kinda like Frank in a way. Cursed meaning it made her smell more powerful to monsters, dad did this hoping they would find her and kill her so he didn't have to do the dirty work himself. That kinda made Evie pissed.
"Fine, Good luck." Nico snickered, Hazel gave me a reassuring smile as I opened the door, the task to wake up Percy Jackson is almost impossible since he sleeps like a rock, I mean I don't blame him Tartarus really takes it out of you I guess.
I opened the door instantly being hit with the smell of the sea, and salt, mostly salt.
I walked over to where Percy was sleeping and lightly shook him.
"Percy, uh Percy."
"YEAH FOR ONE REASON GRACE I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO WORK!" Nico yelled from outside.
I rolled my eyes.
"PERCY! IT'S AN EMERGENCY CHIRON HAS SPECIALLY MADE BLUE PANCAKES MADE FOR YOU! IF YOU DON'T HURRY UP SOON THEY'LL GET COLD!"
Percy sat up bolt right.
"What!? Why the Hades didn't you tell me sooner?" Percy threw a pillow at Evie.
"What?" Evie groaned. Outside everyone was laughing.
Percy's eyebrows burrowed,
"There are blue pancakes right?" He said in a deadly calm voice.
Holy Hera, I'm dead!
"Weelll, that might have been a stretch of the tru-." I was cut off by Percy tackling me.
"Don't ever joke about blue pancakes, ever." Percy whispered. I started to get worried but I gave a sigh of relief when Percy laughed and got up.
"So what's up?" Evie asked.
It's funny how when I was sent to wake everyone up everyone had already been sleeping in their clothes, but then again all demi-gods do it, you can never be too careful and you never know when something like this is going to happen.
Hazel walked in from outside.
"Chiron, has requested our presence in the Big House. That's all we know so far."
Now we were talking about it, it seemed a bit weird it's only been about a month since the fall of Gaia, it's too soon for anything major to be going on. Right?
In silence we all walked towards the Big House nobody saying a word, everyone dreading what they might hear if they step through those doors.
Hey maybe, we won't have to leave maybe it's a party in our honour. My sub-conscious said, but common sense tells me something big is going to happen. Annabeth steps forward and pushes the door open, Chiron is standing there waiting for us.
"Please, come in." Chiron ushered us to one of the more private rooms. "Some one wishes to see you." Percy and I exchanged a look.
Please not dad, please not dad.
We walked in the room to find Hecate standing there. Evie let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks the gods it's not you father!" She said looking at me.
"You and me both." I said
The sky rumbled.
"Sorry, dad."
We all took a seat in front of Hecate. Hazel was twirling a diamond in her hands and everyone was looking around nervously.
"Uh, so Lady Hecate, why have you called us?" Annabeth said taking charge.
"Glad you asked, well this begins a long time ago," Percy and I shared a look and rolled our eyes. "Many years ago I blessed I few mortals with the power to do magic, they are known as witches and wizards." Hecate explained.
Nico snorted.
"You mean the ones who pull rabbits out of hats and eat children?" Nico scoffed.
"No I mean real wizards, they are more commonly found in England. Now over in England the wizarding world is on the brink of war and one particular boy is in grave danger, his name is Harry Potter."
"What's so special about this, Harry Potter?" Evie asked.
"Harry Potter is the boy who is destined to save the wizarding world from an evil man names Voldemort." With Hecate saying that none could hold it in and there were poorly stifled snorts all across the room.
Hecate stiffened.
"Laugh as you may but this man has killed hundreds of people and won't stop until he has killed Harry." Hecate said with an air of seriousness, and I got the feeling this was nothing to joke about.
"What do you want us to do Lady Hecate?" I asked.
Everyone stopped laughing, waiting for what Hecate would say.
"Well, just as mortals have schools so do the wizards, the school is called Hogwarts- NO LAUGHING! Thankyou. The headmaster of the school, Albus Dumbledore has requested some demigods to insure Harry's safety this year, as things are getting particularly dangerous for Harry. Those demigods, are all of you." Hecate stopped gesturing to all of us.
"Each of you will attend Hogwarts this year, just as everyone else, no special treatment, Harry mustn't find out your identity. As well as Harry there is also his two friends Ronald Weasly and Hermione Granger. They both stick to Harry like glue so they might as well be protected."
Everyone nodded. Hecate walked over to Annabeth and handed her a book.
"What does it say?" Hazel asked peering over at the book.
"Hogwarts: A History. It's even translated into Ancient Greek!" Annabeth said with a tone of excitement.
"You shall all need to find out as much as possible about Hogwarts and magic before you arrive, none can suspect you." Hecate smiled at all of us.
"I have faith that you won't let me or the world down."
I gulped the world.
"There is one more thing." Hecate approached everyone and handed them a slim, long box before reaching me at the end.
"Wizards and witches have controlled power, they can only access their powers through and object, an object meaning a wand."
I opened my box to find in there a sky blue stick looking thing (Which I am guessing is a wand) with white electric lightning bolts decorating it.
"Wow." I said unsure, "I'm guessing this is a wand." I said twirling it around in my hand. I looked at Percy who was sitting next to me, in his hand he had a sea green wand with light blue waves decorating the bottom.
"Really?" I heard Piper groan next to me. I looked over and saw her wand.
Oh.
It was baby pink with tiny black love hearts decorating the bottom.
"These wands were created by your parents." Hecate said at Piper's look of dismay.
"So you mean other wands aren't like this?" Annabeth asked.
"No other wands are just made of simple things such as pine and oak."
Annabeth's wand was a light grey decorated with golden owls. Piper saw it as well.
"Lucky." She whispered.
My eyes drifted to Hazel, Evie and Nico's wands.
Hazel's wand was a golden colour with rubies, diamonds and emeralds decorating it. It suits her I guess.
Nico's wand was black, just black. Well that's what I thought until he moved it and a white skull appeared and disappeared.
"Do that again." I said to Nico and every one turned to face him. Nico twisted his wand and it happened again.
"Cool." Nico was smirking at his extra special wand.
Evie's wand was a deep ocean blue with sky blue raindrops decorating the entire thing.
Chiron saw us all inspecting our wands.
"I hope you're pleased with them, your parents were certainly proud of them." He said
"Thanks dad."I murmured. As I saw everyone else doing the same thing.
Hecate smiled.
"The books and tools that you require are set in your Cabins when you finish packing you will meet me back in the room to travel to a place where I have arranged for you to stay until the year starts. You will be staying with the Weasly's. Harry Potter will be staying there so you must stay hidden from the Golden trio. They can't know anything about you, they can't know that you're watching them." Hecate motioned for everyone to stand up.
"Now go on and pack your bags."
Percy's POV:
Evie and I headed over to our Cabin to pack. I grabbed my sea green suitcase and shoved pretty much anything I could find that belonged to me in it, including my Minotaur horn, for the memories.
Girls must pack fast because in a matter of minutes Evie already had her blue suitcase packed, telling me to hurry up.
"Aw, give me that!" Evie snatched the shirt I was holding and put it in my suitcase, then like a machine Evie was grabbing and folding, grabbing and folding until all my packing was done.
"So hopeless." Evie muttered in ancient Greek.
"You take too long." Was all she said as she walked out the door dragging her suitcase behind her.
As I walked out I took one last look at the place wondering when will be the next time I see it again. Me and Evie joined Piper and Jason who were also heading back to The Big House.
Piper had a dreamy look in her eye like she was in some far of place.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"I-I just wish Leo was here, that's all."
Oh
Leo's death was a tragedy and none of us were going to get over it soon, none of us liked to talk about it though since Piper gets all teary whenever we do mention him.
Nico says that Leos not dead, but refuses to give us any more information on the subject, no matter how many times Piper punches him in the face.
And since Frank has left for a private school, Hazel has been exceptionally quiet, well quiet as in not threatening absolutely everything that goes near Nico.
We walked in silence to the Big House opening the door to find everyone else already there.
"Took you long enough!" Nico exclaimed.
"Well I'm sorry, did you have to pack Percy Jackson's bags?" Evie retorted.
"Excuse me? You forced me to hand over my bag so you could pack for me! You offered!" I complained.
"HUSH!" Hecate said not-so-calmly.
"Uh, Lady Hecate." Hazel said meekly. "But we are all 17, and aren't we supposed to be in a class full of 15 year olds?"
Hecate dismissed it with a wave of her hand.
"Prior to the meeting I placed a simple, well simple for me, charm on you. So don't worry I won't be turning you back to your childish 15 year old selves." Hecate said earning a few looks of relief.
"Don't worry your appearance won't change at all. The charm makes the witch or wizard instantly think that you are 15 no matter how much older or matured you may look. All magic folk won't even think twice about the subject, so don't worry the matter is covered." Hecate said with a look of reassurance.
Annabeth coughed drawing attention to herself.
"Yes?" Hecate asked.
"Uh, how are we getting to England exactly?"
Hecate sighed.
"Well, I would let you take a portkey." Hecate continued earning a few confused looks. "But considering the place you will be staying at has defensive charms around it you will have to take a plane."
"WHAT, AFTER ALL WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH DO YOU SERIOUSLY WANT ME TO DIE?" I exploded, Zeus was going to explode my sorry ass.
Annabeth put her hand on my shoulder. I looked over to see Evie who looked like she was about to barf, Nico and I exchanged a look.
"Hecate, me, Percy and Evie, we can't travel through Zeus' domain he will kill us." Nico reasoned.
"Don't worry Zeus has already promised not to blast the plane out of the sky, it's not like he'll destroy it with his son on board?" Hecate smiled knowing this was not true.
I heard Jason muttering next to me something about his dad not giving a shit about him and stuff like that. But Zeus' promise still wasn't exactly reassuring me, we could still all be exploded out of existence by an angry god of the sky.
"Now go Argus is waiting for you all so you can go to the airport. I will see you soon Demigods." Hecate disappeared.
"We're doomed." I said bluntly.
"Let's go." Annabeth walked out the door and motioned for us to follow.
We got in the Strawberry van, the new strawberry van the other one had been destroyed while trying to stop Atlas and save Lady Artemis, when Bianca died.
Yeah real pretty memories.
When we arrived at the airport Evie was practically hyperventilating and I was cursing the gods under my breath because if either me or Evie barfs there will be consequences. I gripped Annabeth's hand.
The metal detector had been interesting since we had to get Nico to shadow travel past security to avoid being busted for carrying swords and stuff, personally I don't see the problem.
When did all that responsible stuff, we walked into the waiting bay thingy, I don't know I don't really have much experience with planes.
After about 15 minutes the plane came and I was seriously having second thoughts I mean getting blasted out of the sky was the least of my troubles. What if Evie barfed on everyone, and thing. Or worse what if I did it!
Think happy thoughts think happy thoughts. I mentally repeating this line in my head I boarded the plane with highest regrets.
We all sat in our seats Me, Annabeth and Evie in one, Piper, Jason and Hazel in one and Nico offered to sit alone, he said he would just sleep until it was all over.
Annabeth who was sitting in the middle looked at both of us.
"If either one of you vomit, I will kill both of you no matter you did it."
"Please, I'm not going to vomit, I'll just occupy myself." Evie Scoffed
One of the gifts that Hecate had given us appeared in our pockets as we arrived at the airport, dangerous as it may seem Hecate gave us phones so we could keep in contact with our family back home.
As the plane lifted off Evie pulled out her phone and started playing splashy fish, one of the pre-installed games one her phone, Hecate took the liberty of having things installed according to our liking, for example. Annabeth had thousands of e-books and architecture apps on hers. I didn't honestly know what was on my phone I couldn't be bothered to check.
Annabeth looked over at what Evie was doing.
"Oh, Splashy fish! What's your high score?"
Evie looked up at Annabeth and smiled.
"52."
Annabeth sat back.
"Oh, that's nice." She smirked.
Evie's eyebrows burrowed.
"Why what's you high score." She glared.
"Oh, only 134."
"WHAT! You must have hacked the game or something." Evie had a look of outrage on her face.
"I didn't hack it!"
"Yes. You. Did." Evie said.
"No, I'm just great at it! Now shush I'm reading." Annabeth said as she pulled out a book.
I smiled to myself and closed my eyes as they kept arguing about hacking and stuff, since falling asleep would give me relief from the horrible feeling in my gut, I imaged the Ocean and then the darkness pulled me away and I hoped that for once I would sleep peacefully.
Annabeth's POV:
"Percy wake up." I shook Percy trying to wake him as we were landing.
"W-what is it?" Percy spluttered.
Evie poked her head out from behind me.
"We're here."
When we all got off the plane Percy, Evie and Nico gave a sigh of relief. Then Percy, Evie, Jason, Piper, Nico, Hazel and I picked out our luggage and stood in the airport parking lot.
"So uh what do we do now?" Hazel asked.
What do we do now? Oh gods we don't even know how we are supposed to be getting to this hideout place, Piper started panicking.
"Oh my gods, oh my gods! What do we do? We are stuck in England!"
"Wow, calm down Pipes." Said Jason
"Maybe the guy was a bit late." I offered.
"Hey guys look at this!" Percy called from behind us.
He was pointing to a sign that had all of our names on it in Ancient Greek with the instructions for everyone to lie down and hold the book in front of them. It said it was a portkey and it would take us to the safe house.
"Are we seriously doing that?" Nico sneered.
"Well it can't hurt to try." Evie said.
We all put a hand on the old book and another hand on our luggage for a few moments nothing seemed to happen.
"Is this it or…" Percy trailed of as we were swept away, we span and span until I thought I was gonna puke. Then finally we landed with a crash on the side of some random street. As I stood up I was knocked back flat on the ground as my bag fell from the sky.
Ouch.
I looked around to see everyone moaning on the ground as their luggage wiped them out also.
"So I guess were here." I said warily not actually knowing where 'here' was, but I wasn't going to admit that.
The there was another loud noise coming from the building behind us. The building seemed to be expanding, a door appeared and through that door came a woman with messy red hair holding a stick, I mean wand.
"Get inside." She said.
Ohhhh. Cliffy. Don't be mad.
Tell me what you thought about this update. Whose wand was your Favourite?
(I don't know I'm just trying to keep you occupied)
