Chapter 3

Percy's POV

We spent the next week practicing magic, as well as keeping our senses and reflexes sharp by training. Hecate had said that our magical powers would be just as strong as our demigod-powers, so of course everyone looked at me, expecting me to blow up this side of the country. Hecate didn't make it any better when she said "You're thinking right. Percy would most likely blow up everything if he is not learnt to control his new powers." So, everyone treats me like a bomb every time I'm close to my wand.

After a week of practicing spells, learning about herbology and potions from 9 am to 9 pm with only a lunch pause on half an hour from half past 12 pm to 13 pm, we were neatly put, half-dead. So when we came out from the house 9 am on our 9th day and saw Hecate rubbing her hands together, I could swear I heard the tiredness in the air. The goddess only laughed and signalized for us to come closer.

"I have pleasant news for you tired demigods!" She exclaimed with a smile. "Pleasant for us... Or for you?" I asked, looking the goddess in her eyes. She smiled at me. "Used to that by now, huh, son of Poseidon?" she smiled even more (which made me pretty uneasy) and said: "For both. I think both sides will be pleased by this. I have the pleasant job of telling you all," she took a deep breath, "that you will now stand on even, if not higher, grounds with all adults in the wizarding world!" We clapped enthusiastically, before Jason noticed something.

"Does that mean our time here is ending?" "Fear not, son of Jupiter. I will not teach you any more wand magic. We will now spend the days practicing wandless magic and... Well, I have a little surprise for you." The goddess smiled even wider. "I am very pleased with you all. So today, you can spend the day as you want."

And so we did. Annabeth and I took a walk in the forest, talking about everything between the earth and the sky. We came to the apartment-house (as we decided to call it) around lunch, ate, and trained a little sword-fighting until dinner. We decided to barbeque for dinner, and we had a fun time when grilling (Leo had a talent of bursting into flames and burn everything, until I distinguished the fire).

In the end we found out that Reyna and Will were best suited for grilling, after Leo had burnt them nine times, I had distinguished the flames seven times, Clarisse had used the steaks for dummies two times and Connor and Travis had stolen all the food when we thought we were finally finished.

When we finally sat down to eat, we couldn't stop talking about the past nine days. "Hey, do you guys remember when Percy blew up that tree?" "Yeah, and what about the time when Thalia electrocuted Reyna by dropping her wand!" "Don't get me started with Jason levitating us." "When Clarisse accidently summoned those knives that flew after Percy!" "I did that on purpose." "Hey!"

No need to say, we went to bed with a smile on our faces.

Frank's POV:

The next day we ate breakfast as usual and went out into the garden. I held Hazel's hand tight when we saw the goddess grinning at our presence. "Okay! Time for your advanced magic-class! Frank, can you come over here?" I did as I was told, and walked up to the goddess. "Now, I guess you all know about Frank's special power?" They nodded.

"So, what you will be learning is something the same, but you will only learn to transform into one animal." They all looked interested, and the goddess turned towards me. "Frank, transform." "To what?" "I don't care. Just transform!"

So I decided to transform into a dragon, just to impress. I felt myself grow, my skin harden, my nails growing into claws. I roared, and fire came out of my mouth. Percy and Hazel led the applause as I turned back into human.

"Hey, will we be able to choose animal ourselves?" Clarisse was nearly jumping with excitement. It was still scary to think that this girl was my sister, I mean, she was so... Scary.

"Partly. Your godly parent will have a word in this too." For some reason, Clarisse's eyes shone even brighter.

"Okay, who wants to start?" Everyone raised their hand. "Well, for safety reasons, can Percy, Thalia, Jason, Nico and Hazel walk over there?" I saw the disappointed looks on their faces as they did so.

"Well, why don't we start with Annabeth?" the goddess asked, and Annabeth smiled when she walked towards us.

"Now, pull out your wand, and sit down." Annabeth sat down with her legs crossed, and laid her wand in her lap. "Have you ever communicated with Athena with meditating?" "No." "Okay, close your eyes and rinse away all your thoughts, except for your mother. Imagine getting closer and closer."

After a few minutes, Annabeth started glowing, until we had to turn away. When I looked back at her, she was gone. "Annabeth! Annabeth, where are you?!" Percy panicked and ran over to where she had been ten seconds ago "ANNABETH!"

"Calm done, Perseus. She is here." "Where?! I can't see her, or hear her, or-" Just then, we saw a shadow hovering over Percy, and suddenly he was attacked by a... an owl.

The owl looked satisfied with itself, and sat on top of his head. His jaw dropped to his waist. "Wait. Wait a second here. Annabeth?" The owl made a soft noise while it pecked Percy's hair and jumped to his shoulder.

"That was a pretty successful transformation. Just to your information, that is called an animagus in the wizarding world. Now, if you don't mind, would you please change back to your human form, Annabeth?" She so did, and kissed Percy before she walked over to me.

"Well then, Reyna?" Reyna did the same as Annabeth, and when the light came, we turned away only to find a panther in her place, roaring, clawing at the ground and whipping her tail.

"Leo?" Leo didn't begin to glow, he began to burn. Like, burn in burn away. At first, we panicked, until we saw that there was a little piece of him still remaining intact, not burning away. The fire disappeared, leaving a little, red monkey. Annabeth whistled.

"That's a Golden Tamarin Lion-monkey," she said. I didn't know what that was, but he was the size of a normal persons upper body, and had long, red fur. Leo sat and studied his body, turning his head to watch his back. Suddenly he jumped up, ran to the trees and started climbing. All the way he made a sound that sounded like: "chichiri", which I suspected was laughter.

"If you don't mind, son of Hephaestus..." Hecate started. Leo jumped down from the tree and turned into his human form, grinning and laughing.

"Well then, Will?" Will started to shine like the sun (huh), complete with rays and the heat. Out flew a hawk, as Annabeth recognized as a "Sharp Shinned-hawk". He took a few rounds around the house, before he landed as a human.

"Katie, you are next." She sat down where all the others had, put her wand in her lap and started meditating. As all the rest, it took about five minutes before she shrank, shrank and shrank, revealing a snake. "Green Mamba!" Annabeth shouted. "It's a very venomous snake."

Connor and Travis went together next. They sat down, started meditating, before a blitz came from them. In their place sat two raccoons. "Hah! Suits you well!" Thalia shouted. They looked at each other and started to laugh, poking each other's faces.

Next up was Clarisse. When she placed the wand in her lap, she was very careful about not cutting herself on the thorns. She meditated, and started to grow. She grew and grew, fur started coming, her teeth grew, until she was a boar. She grunted and snorted, dug in the earth, and went back to human form with a proud face.

"Piper, if you would?" No surprise, she was turned into a white dove. Her feathers were so white it looked like they glowed (they probably did, seeing as it was Aphrodite). She flew over to Jason, and pecked his hair before flying back.

"Okay, over to the dangerous part... Hazel, let's start with you." Hazel came over looked me in the eyes, as if saying "Hey, it's safe. Don't worry." She sat down, laid her wand in her lap, and meditated. Five minutes came, and they passed. When close to a quarter, darkness erupted from the ground around her, and soon everything was dark. When we could see, she was gone.

I stumbled towards the place she had been five seconds ago, feeling panic rising. "Hazel? Hazel?!" No answer and no Hazel. "HAZEL!"

"Calm down, son of Mars." "But-" "Frank! Look up!" Nico yelled. Just as I did, I felt claws gripping into my shoulder and weighing it down. I looked at my right shoulder... And saw a raven. It's feathers was black with a tint of purple, its beak pitch black and its eyes had the same color as Hazel's eyes. "Hazel?" I whispered, petting the beautiful bird on its back. She looked at me. I could feel power inside it, it felt dark and gloomy and... And... A lot like death.

"I must say, a raven suits you well, daughter of Pluto. It symbolizes not only death, which is your fathers domain, but also magic, like your mother." Hazel turned back into a human and gripped my hand. This time she didn't let go, I realized with a smile.

"Okay. Who will be next? Thalia?" Thalia did as the rest, and five minutes came. Ten minutes passed. Fifteen soon came, and when we had waited for nearly twenty, she started sweating. A lightning struck her and made a shockwave on the ground. Thalia had ended up as a white wolf with the same electric blue eyes as before. She roared, whipped her tail, and turned back into her human form, grinning.

"That's Lady Artemis' animal, as well as dad's!" She said happily, going to the others.

"Nico, if you would, please." "Of course, Lady Hecate." Nico used even more time than Thalia. Around thirty minutes passed before the same darkness ass Hazel's erupted from his body, and cloaked only him this time. We saw the shadow grow, and grow, and grow, and when I started to think that he would never stop, he did. A terrifying roar sounded from inside the darkness, and it disappeared. On instinct I reached for my bow as a Hellhound appeared in front of us. I could safe say it was the biggest one I've ever seen.

Nico sniffed in the air, clawed the earth, and went back to human form. "Holy fuck, that was the biggest fucking Hellhound I've ever seen!" Clarisse cried out. "I'm sure happy he's on our side," Reyna agreed. She had actually drawn her sword, because now she put it back. Nico made his way to the others. By now, we all looked ready to run. Only Jason and Percy remained, and after seeing Nico's terrifying outcome, we were prepared for the worst.

"Jason, please." We walked a little further away, as we had already experienced Thalia's shockwave. "Could you please go over there? We do not want the house to be destroyed," Hecate said just when he attempted to sit down. He sat down close to the forest, safe twenty meters away from us. And he started to meditate, and used even more time than Nico. Forty-five minutes passed before we heard thunder approaching. He was struck by lightning even greater than Thalia's, and the shockwave was greater too. Leo lost his balance and fell on Piper, who squeaked as they fell.

Ozon lingered in the air as a giant bird stepped forward. At first glance, it looked like an enormous eagle. Then Jason spread his wings, and electricity leapt through his feathers. Reyna gasped, and studied the bird before her. "That's a thunderbird! Just like the feather in his wand!" Jason turned back into his human form, and walked over to Piper and Leo, who had managed to get back up.

"Okay. Percy?" The crowd stepped even more steps back as Percy walked over to the same spot as Jason. "Fear not!" he yelled over to them. "I won't turn into a bomb!" He sat down, and began to meditate. He meditated and he meditated, and after forty-five minutes, sweat started coming. After fifty he began to shake, and after five more, the earth began to tremble. When passing an hour, water started coming out of the ground and cloaking the shaking Percy. After yet another ten minutes the water started to fasten, and the earthquake rose in power. Just when the Stolls, Leo, Katie, and I lost our balance and fell, the big sphere started shaping into the final stage of the transformation.

Percy grew legs, a head and a tail, and finally two wings. The water fastened, turning into dark blue scales. A roar made its way out from his mouth. Percy had been turned into a dragon.

"A water-dragon!" Annabeth squeaked, looking at Percy with a proud look on her face. He slid a split tongue over his teeth, and flapped his wings as if testing them. "Water-dragons cannot breathe fire, but are highly venomous, and... Well, made of water. If you manage to get through the thick scales, you'll only meet water. Humans have not found a way to kill it." Reyna had done her research on this mythical creature. Percy roared again, before flapping his wings. He leapt into the air, and flew a few hundred meters before returning and turning back into human. His smile nearly split his head in two.

"What now, Lady Hecate?" Reyna asked. "Well, we'll spend the rest of this two training weeks by training your newly learned transforming. You cannot afford to sit down and meditate in the middle of a battle. Today we just chose your creature." The rest of the day was spent training in this, and so was the rest of the week.

It was fifteen satisfied teenagers that packed their belongings and met the goddess for a last farewell the following Sunday, before she turned us all into eighteen.

Hermione's POV:

I were sitting at the table eating breakfast when Ron and Harry came stumbling down the stairs. "Morning, boys!" Mr. Weasley said with a smile on his face as he put down the newspaper he was reading. "After eating breakfast, we'll head for "The Leaky Cauldron", so pack all you need afterwards!" Ron mumbled an answer and sat down on the opposite of me, and Harry sat down at my left.

Mrs. Weasley put some breakfast on their plates, and they started eating. I watched them eat in silence, and soon they were finished. "Harry, Ron? Could you come with me?" I said and walked outside. I didn't see it, but knowing them they probably shared a suspicious look behind my back. I rolled my eyes and smiled at them. They never change.

"What did you want with us, Hermione?" Ron asked. I took a deep breath. "I looked after that school we talked about. I couldn't find anything." They shared another look, and Harry scratched his chin. "Well, it may be hidden-" "Even if it was hidden, the name should-" "Oh, come on. Maybe they are taking security even more important than Hogwarts, making sure that no one will ever get a tiny clue about where they are!" "But the name wouldn't-" "Take it easy, Hermione." Sometimes it was scary how much alike those two were. I sighed.

"Promise you'll be on watch out?" They smiled at me. "Of course, milady." Ron said with bow. I felt my cheeks grow red. Harry grinned, and said: "Pinky promise?" while holding out his hand. "Pinky promise." I said and hooked my pinky in his. Ron only looked confused.

"Now should we go pack?" I said as I walked inside, clutching Ron's hand.

I'm sorry they didn't meet here, but… well, I have no control over this. My imagination is just jumping around at some times, and I have literally no control over it. Chapter 4 is done, but you'll have to wait for it…
