No Choice

by SHARDIS

I've been having dreams. Yeah, I know, all demigods have dreams, but it's the context that's really bothering me. Golden eggs, dragons, masked people marching and burning everything in their way, and a black dog that looked surprisingly like Mrs. O'Leary. All this was giving me a headache. (No Flames Please) :D

Chapter 3 HPPJ

Percy POV

Chiron tells the leaders of every cabin that they themselves were going and that they needed to pick another capable demigod from their cabin. Because Thalia and I don't have any other cabin mates, others are allowed to invite along extras.

Annabeth persuaded Malcolm and another Athenian girl named Ainè to come along. Thalia took Grover. Apollo had Will Solace, Mark O'Brien, and Jessie Fay. Clarisse brought along Jack and Selena. Demeter had Katie and Ray. Nico and Bianca went along too, along with other cabins.

Everyone is annoyed when Chiron says that there would be no capture the flag that summer, but the demigods are happy for the people that get to go to Hogwarts.

Because Zeus is still a little angry with me, Poseidon agreed to let the us on a monster-proof cruise ship that would sail across the Atlantic. Once in England, I would have to keep Annabeth on a leash to keep her from looking at the architecture, and the demigods would hitch a ride with Apollo, and do to Kings Cross Station where we had to find Platform 9 3/4.

Chiron told Annabeth and I to watch for people with trunks and odd shaped packages and follow them. Once we were on the platform, we were to get on the train and find a compartment. At Hogwarts, we had to look for a giant, not one that should be reduced to dust, mind you, but follow him to the room where we would get ready.

We're having a bit of trouble finding Platform 9 3/4. Annabeth and I, the appointed leaders for this particular trip, had asked all the security men and the people behind the desks. We were given looks that said, "You're kidding me. You're kidding me right? You've got to be kidding me." Then I remembered what Chiron said. "Follow someone."

We see a group of red haired people pushing trolleys full of stuff... Owls, trunks... and is that a broomstick?

Our group follows the family and I see that there is a black haired boy in the group.

A woman turns around and notices us. She looks like she is the mother of all the kids. Annabeth asks, "excuse me, where is Platform 9 3/4?" The lady replies, "Oh, you're here for the... Just watch," she says with a smile. A red haired girl runs at the wall at full speed. I blink, and she's gone.
