The information that Hogwarts was accepting transfer students did not escape the eyes of Hecate, the goddess of magic. Unlike the most common beliefs, she actually did not create the wizards or anything. Hecate only watched over the magical community of England because they were so interesting. The ways they used their magic for good or for evil, the excitement they felt at learning a new spell or inventing a new potion… She did, however, bless a few of her most favored in secret so that their magical skill was better. Also, unlike common belief, the gods did not know anything, and they certainly weren't the most powerful. There was a legend about something from thousands of years ago… But that wasn't important. It was just a legend, like the myths about the gods (and they certainly weren't real like the gods). What was important… was that the demigods would finally be able to go to Hogwarts! Hecate was definitely excited.
Hecate flashed to Camp Half-Blood, and was nearly run over by someone running to the Big House. They immediately swerved to avoid her, then fell into a bow.
"Sorry Lady Hecate!" the camper called, panting. Hecate looked at the demigod - it was Hazel!
After the war against Gaea, the Seven all stayed at Camp Half-Blood. Some were planning on going to school this year, which was why Hecate was there…
"Hazel, you don't have to bow, remember? You're my champion."
Hazel stood back up, dusting her pants as she did so.
"May I ask why you have decided to pay us a visit?" she inquired curiously.
"I will tell you later, could you ask your friends to meet us in the Big House, in fifteen minutes? I'm looking for the Seven of the Great Prophecy, and also Nico and Thalia."
"Of course, Lady Hecate!" Hazel bowed and ran off towards the lake.
Hecate slowly walked through camp, looking at the major differences. There were so many cabins, and shrines to the gods were in front of each one. Many campers, much more than how it had been three years ago, were playing volleyball, or basketball, or sword fighting… They all bowed respectfully when she walked past them. Soon, she reached the Big House and waited for the nine selected demigods.
Ten minutes later, all nine of them were present.
"Lady Hecate, why are we here again?" Hazel asked politely. Hazel was definitely curious, after all… Hecate was calling the Seven of the Great Prophecy, and two of the Big Three children. It was probably not some small mission.
"I'm here to inform you of a magical community of witches and wizards," Hecate began. "They go to a school called Hogwarts. They have recently finished a war against a dark wizard, Voldemort, and now their school accepts transfers from other magic schools. I want you nine to be our representatives, from the Delphi Institute of Elemental Magic. You all have your respective elements that were best for your personality, and that's why you chose it. You have studied it for the past four years."
The nine demigods all nodded slowly.
"And you want us to go, right? It sounds easy," Piper said.
"Too easy," Percy agreed. "Are you sure this isn't some trap, or there's something bigger in the shadows, or there's secretly something there and…"
"None at all," Hecate reassured them. "I've been watching the magical community of England for several centuries now. This is purely for fun, and relief after the war. It's also a chance to study the wizards for the first time. The gods were off fighting in the first Titanomachy when Hogwarts was founded, if I matched the timelines up properly."
"So how come they never noticed the wizards?" Annabeth asked questioningly.
"The gods were more focused on Greece, you know," Hecate answered. "In fact, the gods only have control over Greece, and also wherever their flame went. No where else. They aren't omnipotent like many believe, they only know about the places where they've been. They can't control everything, either."
"Wow…" Jason said, speechless. The other demigods were speechless as well.
"This is such shocking news!" Thalia yelled.
"Thalia..." Jason warned. She just laughed.
"Well, if you are all willing to go as both a post-war relief and an opportunity, you will be leaving tomorrow! Meet here before nine tomorrow, and at nine you will be magically transported to the countryside right outside London."
Hecate vanished, leaving a small pamphlet titled "Guide to Your Year at Hogwarts" that included all important information about Hogwarts, their own school, and such.
"So Delphi Institute of Elemental Magic, huh," Percy said. "Sounds fun and exciting. I wonder if there will be other transfer students."
The demigods dispersed and began packing for their trip tomorrow.
