Chapter 3
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM HARRYPOTTER OR PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS. THIS STORY IS PURELY FOR ENJOYMENT NOT FOR PROFIT. Thank you
Silence filled the air, until finally Apollo yelled out in a bass tone, " THIS IS SOO COOL! IM GOING TO MAKE IT REALLY SUNNY FOR YOUR FIRST DAY!"
I sighed things never change. I turned so I could see all of my families' faces. " Well, I think I will go on the train, I don't want to attract attention to myself, ohh! We should definitely see how long it takes them to figure out who I am!" " That would be really fun, ooh and I have to go to get supplies, or do they have them here?" " Maybe I could ask Aphrodite for help making my uniform look cool…." My ramblings were cut short as I realised I was still in the throne room.
"And what do you mean by cool, oh daughter of mine?" my mother sharply said. "Nothing! Don't worry about it!" I quickly replied. Athena soon cut in " she is lying sister. By cool she means that she wants to be popular". Sometimes Athena and the whole, wisdom goddess is really annoying.
I sent an icy glare at her, and told them that I was going to my room to think. I walked out and looked at the calendar on the wall that Apollo had given me. Today was the 1st of august. The next month was going to be fun.
1 month later, on September the 1st
The last month was horrible. I mean, I didn't have to go to Daigon Alley, a place where apparently wizards and witches but supplies and uniforms. Hermes, the god of travel had gone and picked up everything for me, including bringing hundreds of wands home for me to try. Finally, I found the perfect wand after hours of searching. I was waiting with Athena and Artemis at the train station, with my trunk, my new owl angel, and my wand in my pocket. My money converted from Demachrae's to pounds, to Knuts and sickles. After what seemed like forever on the phone with my family, it was time to go. I said goodbye to my mother and aunt, and ran thorough the barrier. I exclaimed in surprise. Before me was a large steam train with hundreds of parents and children saying goodbye.
I hopped onto the train and sat in the section in the end. I was reading a book in ancient Greek when I heard a knock on the door. I looked up and saw tree kids my age. I got up and opened the door, which I had locked. A young boy with red hair and freckles, who reminded me of Arthur quickly asked " could we sit with you, all of the other compartments are full"
I nodded shyly, not used to people not knowing who I am.
They walked in and sat down. I quickly got to know them. Their names were Ron, Hermonie and Harry. They were shocked that I didn't know who Harry was. They filled me in and soon they became my best friends.
When we got of the train, now in our uniforms, we met a half giant named Hagrid. I really liked him, and I am glad I did, otherwise I would have never of ridden in the boats across the lake to the castle.
A teacher named Professor McGonagall greeted us, and led us through two giant wooden doors. Inside there was four giant table's which from what I heard from Hermonie, where the four separate houses. We walked single file to the front of the hall. We stopped and saw directly in front of us a an old brown hat on a stool. Professor McGonagall called each of our names , and told us to when it was out turn, to sit on the stool, and place the hat on out heads. Then, like magic (hahahahaha) the hat yelled which house you belonged in. I was hoping to get into Gryffindor when finally Professor McGonagall called my name.
I was so nervous but I walked to the stool and sat down. I carefully placed the hat on my head and took a deep breath. The hat didn't say which house I belonged to straight away. It muttered for what seemed like hours, but was probably actually a few moments. It then talked in an aged voice " mmm… I like a challenge." " You have plenty of brains, more then any witch I have ever known, you have an aurora of power as if you are not only a witch but something else, but you know that already and do not need to be told twice about it." " You didn't wish to be a witch you always wanted to be human, as if you weren't…. interesting, " "Still your courage beyond measure and heart as big as a lions, the house you must belong in is GRYFFINDOR! ". A round of applause and cheers erupted from the Gryffindor table.
I shakily went and sat at the Gryffindor table. My heart pounding, I quickly said a prayer to the gods, thanking them for the strength to walk here. The rest of the students were sorted, and of course my friends were also in Gryffindor as well. With that, Professor Dumbledore made an announcement and told us to tuck in. If I wasn't watching I would never of seen the food appear like Dionysus does with his wine. Before I started however, I needed to sacrifice some food by burning it. How was I supposed to do that here? I quickly sent a plea of help to the gods, and thankfully they told me not to worry about it, just make sure I go to the kitchen after and sacrifice some then.
I dug in, my mouth watering at all of the food and kept eating until I thought I was about to burst. I stood up, thanking Athena for making sure I could eat human food before I came. I had missed the taste. I walked to the kitchen, tickling the nose of the pear in the painting. It swung open to reveal a busy kitchen full of elves I asked for some of their juiciest food and most tender meat. I sacrificed them without the elves knowing and the gods loved the food. They thanked me and I went to the Gryffindor common room. I talked with hermonie for an hour and then , we went to bed. Well, she went to sleep and I pretended to sleep.
This was going to be a long year.
