So, rewriting from the beginning. Yaaaay.

Piper's POV

Piper woke up to the sound of her beeping alarm clock for the third time that morning. Piper didn't really like waking up, it was usual Thalia or Reyna that was the first awake out of the girls. But today, Piper moved out of her bed only after her third alarm because today was the day they were going to see Hogsmeade!

Yay! This is actually going to be fun!

Piper walked to the corner of her area. She grabbed the curtain and ran around the perimeter so that no one could see her.

Okay, now to get ready...

After the explosion, Hecate made a few changes. She added way more stuff to the common room. She expanded the size of the room and everything in it, she added everything that was in the boys/girls dorms (except the beds) to the common room, she added a big balcony that was twice the size of the one in the girls area, she made the common room more like a house... There was just way to much that Piper could list.

Piper put on a white tank top with a yellow jacket over it, then she put on some ripped jeans and a pair of red shoes that her mom got her. Half of her clothes is what her mom gets her but she sometimes does like them.

After she finished getting ready, she pulled a part of her curtain so she could walk down the five steps and onto the main floor. She went to go sit on the couch but that's when she saw Thalia on the couch sleeping with a book her hands.

I thought she didn't like to read...

Piper shrugged and sat on the other couch. Calypso, who was watering some of the plants, was wearing a tan, wool long sleeve shirt with a black and white plaid skirt.

She looked up to Piper and said, "Good Morning. I wanted to wake Thalia up but she looks kinda tired... "

"Yeah. But I think it's about time for her to wake up, we're leaving soon," said Piper.

Calypso nodded. She set down watering pot and walked down the stairs to the common area.

Piper softly shook Thalia, "Thalia... Thalia... "

It didn't seem to work so Piper shook her a bit harder. Thalia shot up and fell of the couch.

"Eek! Are you okay?" Piper asked repeatedly.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine" said Thalia, giving Piper the thumbs up.

"Sorry, we didn't want to wake you, but it's about time to leave", Piper said.

Thalia looked up to the clock on the wall and freaked out. She ran to her area and quickly put the curtain around it.

Piper soon went down to the common area with the boys, Reyna, Calypso, and Annabeth. Annabeth was wearing a long sleeve grey shirt, an owl pendant, jeans, and brown boots. Meanwhile, Reyna was wearing a purple plaid shirt and black pants. Percy and Frank were wearing hoodies and Jason, Leo, Nico and Will were wearing long sleeves shirts. Everyone had to be sure to cover their arms so that their tattoos didn't show. Everyone had a Roman tattoo on their forearm to show the new bond between Roman demigods and Greek demigods, but because they were on the quest, they had to cover it up.

Piper's tattoo had a dove carrying a rose. She actually really liked it. Of course, she still hasn't told her dad about it... Maybe soon. Meanwhile, Thalia had two tattoos because of her connection with Artemis. Like the rest, she had her godly parent one of the left -which for her was the Eagle. Bu on her right, they had a special made one for her. It was an archery bow in front of the moon. She was the only one that had it because she was the only Hunter that wanted a tattoo.

Finally, the rest of them came down the stairs. Hazel was wearing a white long sleeve shirt while Thalia had a dark blue satin-silk shirt and a thin, silver parka. She had black jeans like Reyna as well.

"Are we all good?" Annabeth asked and everyone responded yes. They walked down to the Great Hall and sat down with the Hufflepuffs again since they couldn't find Harry, Ron, or Hermione.

Piper was eating her waffles when she noticed that Thalia wasn't eating anything. She was picking at her food (more like the side of the plate) and staring off into the wall. Piper waved her hand in front of Thalia's face and Thalia snapped back.

"Yes?" Thalia asked.

"Are you alright? Ever since we've gotten this quest... You've been looking kinda distracted.. " Piper said.

Thalia sighed and put down her fork, "You're not the first person who has said that... I don't know, I guess I have a lot on my mind".

"You want to talk about it?"

"It's Hunter stuff.. I can't".

"Oh, sorry" said Piper, who completed her breakfast.

Thalia was about to say something but then someone else opened the door of the Great Hall and her voice boomed across the the room.

"Everyone who would like to visit Hogsmeade, meet me at the Courtyard right now for information about it" Professor McGonagall said.

Almost everyone in the room got up and rushed to the door, including the demigods. After being shoved six times, the demigods finally made it to the door.

Once they went to the Courtyard, they were standing on their toes to find Cedric. Before long, Jason pointed out Cedric's bronze hair.

Is it bronze or is it a bright light brown?... No clue.

They went over to him. He was looking at the water in the fountain he was leaning against.

"Hey, Cedric", Percy said.

"Oh, Hello", said Cedric, waving to everyone after looking up, "So, oh wait, Professor McGonagall is about to say something". He pointed behind them.

"Hello students!" she said, "Today is the trip to Hogsmeade and... "

Piper didn't hear the rest. More like didn't listen to the rest. She was just looking at everything in the Courtyard with awe.

Woah, that's a really pretty fountain... Stupid ADHD.

By the time Piper tuned in, Professor McGonagall was done speaking.

"Okay, so the way to Hogsmeade is this way" Cedric said and pointed to. They all walked through a pathway along with the rest of the schools. He explained some of the history and some of the shops.

"So there are multiple streets you can visit and each one has some shops. There's Manor Road, High Street, uh, Love Lane" he said a bit more quietly. "And there's also Church Street, Hogsmeade Lane, and Wizards Path. Most students usual stay on the High Street though. It has the more popular places like Zonko's and Honeydukes -the joke shop and the candy store".

"Ooh, I can't wait to go to the prank shop," Leo said like a toddler. "Can we go there now!?" he asked, pulling Calypso's sleeve.

"Maybe later," Calypso replied.

"Uh, how about I show you guys the Three Broomsticks and you can go off from there. It's an inn and pub" suggested Cedic.

"Yeah sure. But quick question, what's an inn and pub?" said Will.

Some of the demigods looked like they were asking the same question. Like Piper.

That's too British for me..

Cedric smiled, "An inn is where people stay for a few nights and a pub is where they serve alcoholic beverages. Except some pubs have stuff for younger age groups".

"Oh so like a hotel and a bar?" Frank said.

"Hm... Yeah pretty much" said Cedric as he led them to the entrance of the pub. When they entered, Piper looked around. It was crowded and warm but it felt very homey.

"Oh hey, look who it is!" said Percy. He was pointing to Herminie who was sitting in the corner with her head in the books.

They walked over to her and Piper immediately noticed something was off.

There were two cups instead of one. It was just on the seat. And two, Hermione was looking around frequently.

"Hey, Hermione" Piper said. She looked up to see them all.

"Oh, hello" Hermione said. She turned to her left unexpectedly, but Nico and Hazel were already there.

"That's weird" both Hazel and Nico said at the same time. Nico put out his hand toward to the space and Hermione started talking again, quickly.

"Uh- what are out guys doing here...! "

Nico slightly contracted, "All the headmasters said we could come to Hogsmeade too. Also, has anyone you know died? Or they're sick or something?".

Will pulled Nico's hand back, "Okay, how about we go back to the table. Cedric was taking us here so we know about the streets in Hogsmeade."

Hermione nodded, "Right, of course".

They ended up wandering back to a table in the corner with Cedric.

He glanced up, "Have you heard of the Butterbeers, yet?"

They ordered some and Piper swore that it was one of the best things she's tasted. They also talked some more about where each person was heading off to and what there was.

"There's also the Shrieking Shack, though most kids usually tend to stay away from there because it's supposedly haunted" Cedric said.

"That sounds pretty cool. Where is it?" Thalia said.

"It's somewhere past a small forest. I'm actually going there myself since I haven't actually seen it yet" Cedric said.

"Is it okay if I come with you?" Thalia asked him.

"Sure," He said, "I don't mind".

"Well, Calypso, Leo, Percy, and I are going to go to Honeydukes first. Then while the boys are eating their candy, Calypso and I will be going to that bookstore to see some things" Annabeth said.

"I'll go there too," Reyna said.

"Yeah, Hazel and I are going to the Gladrag's store and look around some of the other stores" said Frank.

"Nico and I are going to that prank shop just because we want to see what's in it" Will said.

"Us too" Jason said pointing between him and Piper.

They each payed for their own Butterbeers, got up, and left. Piper, Jason, Will, and Nico headed off to Zonko's in the chilly weather. She turned back to see everyone else splitting directions. Including Thalia and Cedric themselves.

Wonder how that'll be..
