Thanks to all who reviewed, favorited, and/or followed.
To whoever said Reynico, I'm sorry, but I have another plan for Reyna...
Also, thanks to ARandomFangirler for pointing out my mistake on The Burrow and the Headquarters.
Now, on with the story!
"Now," Mrs. Weasley continued, "I want all of you lot to go to Diagon Alley and show them around. They will need all of their school supplies, and their robes, so get to it!"
"Yes mum," and "Yes Mrs. Weasley," was heard, as all of the teenagers dispersed to get ready for their shopping trip.
When one entered Diagon Alley, one was usually prone to gasps of delight, wonderment, and amazement. What one was not prone to do, however, was to scream: "Ice creammmmmmmm!", and run around like a fool while your friends chased you all over the place, occasionally pausing to admire a rather tasteful piece of architecture. The sad thing, however, was that one Leo Valdez was not an ordinary person. And so, what was bound to happen happened. When four red-haired wizards and one witch, a bushy-haired witch, and a black-haired wizard with a lighting shaped scar entered Diagon Alley, they were graced with the sight of just that.
"Blimey, are those the ones we have to help? They look like nutters!" Ronald Weasley whispered to his friend, Harry Potter.
Wide eyed, Harry nodded.
"Hey!" Leo Valdez cried, skidding to a halt in front of Harry's group, "We're not nutters, and besides, we don't need your help!"
"Are you guys the American Exchange students?" Hermione asked.
Leo nodded.
"Then we're here to help you get your stuff, and take you over to where you'll be staying!" Hermione announced.
"You guys are the Weasels?" By now, all of Leo's friends had come over.
The twins furiously nodded their heads, already pumped for what was about to happen. "Hi!" One of them said.
"I'm Forge, and this is –"
"Gred –"
"It's a pleasure –"
"To meet you –"
And the twins disappeared with a CRACK, only to return in a moment, and one stuck out his hand, and said, "Now, let me properly introduce myself –"
"I'm George –"
"And I'm Fred –"
"We're delighted –"
"To make –"
"Your acquaintance –"They finished together, grinning like mad-men.
The rest of the wizards were watching, waiting for the new-comers' delayed reactions.
Finally, after a tense silence, Leo clapped excitedly, and grinned, just like the twins, "Wow! They're just like the Stolls!" Everybody laughed, and the tension was eased.
"Now," Hermione began in her bossiest voice, "You guys need to get your books, wands, robes, and –"
She never finished her sentence, as the male demigods all yawned (Except Nico) and said, "Boring, let's go get ice cream!" and they dashed off. The Blonde, Cherokee and the Latino girl both wandered off to look at books, while the Goddess-like girl and Punk Girl meandered off with the Goth Boy and the Brunette.
Hermione, on the other hand looked murderous. "They interrupted me!"
Ginny patted her on the back consolingly, while Hermione seethed. "Everybody, find the people, and get them back here in one hour!"
And thus began the most wild goose chase in Diagon Allley history. When Hermione and Ginny went for the Book Girls, they immediately found themselves zigzagging through too many bookstores to count, while Harry and Ron, who went for the aimless wanderers, found themselves in Knockturn Alley, which was impossible, as the wanderers were obviously over there. Meanwhile, the boys, who originally went off to ice cream, immediately cackled like crazy and ran off when the twins pursued them, and they set all kinds of embarrassing booby traps to catch the twins. And that is how, two hours later, both groups found themselves facing a soaking wet Draco Malfoy and his two goons, Draco red in the face and furiously yelling at the boys and the twins. A crowd converged, hungry for a fight.
"My father will hear about this!" Malfoy was threatening.
Percy snorted, "What is itty bitty Daddy's Boy going to do, run to Mommy?"
"My father is very powerful in the Ministry!" Malfoy was now a lovely shade of magenta.
"Yeah, and my dad can zap you with lightning!" Thalia had joined the fray.
"Back off, Malfoy," all of the wizards and demigods had converged, making quite a terrifying sight.
Malfoy scowled and stalked off, although not before snarling, "You'll pay for this, mud bloods!"
"Well, that was anticlimactic," Percy commented, and began walking away.
"Stop," Hermione grabbed his sleeves, "You guys have to get your supplies!"
"Well," Annabeth piped up, "Reyna and I got everything except the robes, and the wands."
"Great!" Hermione was happy that some people got something done, "We can get your measurements for the robes, and then get your wands, alright?"
Murmurs of assent were heard, and Hermione marched off.
"ROBES?!" Thalia screeched in outrage.
"It's alright," Reyna soothed, patting Thalia's arm, as Thalia's eyes bugged out, "I'm being forced to wear that?" She pointed an accusing finger at what Annabeth was trying on.
Hermione was quite affronted- she rather like the uniform!
"Come on, it won't be that bad," Reyna assured a growling Thalia as she led her up to the pedestal.
"Whatever,"
"Well, that was painless!" Hermione said cheerfully, as she led the group to Ollivanders.
"Speak for yourself," Thalia grumbled, as she rubbed her still sore arm.
"You shouldn't have moved around that much, that way, you wouldn't have been stabbed that many times!" Reyna chided.
Thalia shot her a dark look. Reyna held up her hands in surrender as they entered the shop, and Ollivander gleefully began making them try out different types of wands. Calypso went first, and she got a 12 and a half inches long glass wand made from the sand of some Greek island that was called, something like oh-jij-ee-a, with a core of moonlace petals. Ollivader was rather ecstatic when Calypso got hers, mumbling something about how the world would finally be beautiful, and making Calypso smile happily.
Leo got a wand that was 11 inches, and made of bronze, with a phoenix feather core. When he got it, the whole room was engulfed in flames, frightening all the wizards whenever Leo waved his wand. (He did it many times, and quite madly)
Thalia went through about twenty wands before finding one, it was 13 inches, made of pine wood, (a fact that made Percy and Nico snort) with a core of a stag's horn.
Jason, on the other hand, got one on the second try, 9 and a half inches, made with polished stone, and a core of eagle feathers. (The demigods got a kick out of the stone part, though.)
Frank got a 10 inch wand on his first try, turning himself into an iguana and making the wizards gasp. His wand was made out of chameleon something, with a vulture feather as the core. Ollivander was simply delighted at Frank's wand.
Hazel got an 8 and a half inch wand that was loaded with precious metals. The pommel was a red diamond! The core was liquid gold, which puzzled even Hermione.
Piper got a simple, 10 inch wand made from coral, with a core of sea foam.
Percy waved wands for nearly two hours before Ollivander handed him a trident like wand made from driftwood, with a core of Pegasus hair. When he waved it, the store was submerged in water.
Nico got a wand that was 14 inches long, made from thestral bones, with a core of shadows. (Yeah, they're real) When he waved it, the store was engulfed in shadows, and the wizards screamed in horror.
Reyna got a 13 inch wand made from adamantium, and a core of silver and gold.
Annabeth waved around six other wands, each one with disastrous outcomes, including Percy and Jason getting a library full of books dumped on their heads, until she got the one for her. It was made from olive wood, and had a core of an owl feather, parchment, and steel.
At the end of the day, all of the wizards were extremely tired, with the demigods happily waving around wands, and causing mass destruction wherever they went, but they went back to The Burrow quite happily.
