A/N: So to begin, this is my first fanfic ever so I may make mistakes, feel free to point any errors you see and I will appreciate it. (Just please be polite) Next, I have not read Percy Jackson in a LONG time and I am currently rereading the series, so there may be some errors, once again, feel free to help me out with that. Anyway, enjoy the fanfic! (And prepare to cringe)

Chapter 1; A quest?
Annabeth laughed gleefully as her boyfriend, Percy, jumped out of the water. In an attempt to push her into the lake, Annabeth grabbed his arm, twisted it, and shoved him backwards into the freezing cold water. "Very funny," Percy muttered under his breath. Even though it was very much a wet lake, Percy emerged out of the water perfectly dry, being Poseidon's son has its advantages, after all.
"Yo! Seaweed head! Annabeth! Chiron wants you in the main house!" Clarisse called from the opposite side of the lake. Annabeth grabbed Percy's hand and pulled him up. The couple exchanged glances as Clarisse walked away. "I wonder what he wants us for." Percy wondered aloud. "Probably to confront you with something stupid you did earlier this week." Annabeth commented, gently punching him in the shoulder. Percy rolled his blue-green eyes and the two started off to the main house.
Percy cautiously swung the door open to reveal Chiron sitting at a table. He motioned for them to sit and they both grabbed a seat and sat down. *Ahem* Chiron cleared his throat and began speaking. "The reason I called you two here," he paused. "Is because I have a quest for you." He paused once again. "Actually it was a quest for Percy, but I figured because of certain circumstances," he looked at Annabeth, "I decided that Annabeth could tag along." Annabeth looked slightly offended by these words but didn't comment. There was a long, dramatic pause. (A/N; Is this getting old yet? ?) Chiron continued, "For the next 9 months you will be attending Hogwarts; School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Percy opened his mouth, ready to ask a question before Chiron cut him off. "Your mission," he said, "Is to protect a boy who attends this school." (A/N: My I wonder who that is…) Percy looked as if he was about to explode. "You will pack your bags today and leave for London tomorrow at 8 A.M Shar-" "LONDON!?" Percy interrupted, practically screaming. Annabeth eyed him and put a gentle hand on him to calm him down. Chiron narrowed his eyes at Percy but continued, "As I was saying, you will leave for London tomorrow at 8 A.M and board the train for Hogwarts." He explained.
"Any questions?" He asked. "What type of school is this again?" Percy asked. "It's a school for witches and wizards." Chiron replied, looking a bit annoyed. Percy's mouth gaped at this. "That's a thing?" He asked, looking astonished. "Yes, now anything else?" He asked, glancing at the couple. "Yes, actually," Annabeth piped up, "What is this kid's name?" "Oh, silly me, his name is Harry," Chiron replied, "Harry Potter."
After he was sure there were no more questions on the matter, Chiron got up out of his seat and grabbed two envelopes from a shelf. He walked back to his seat, sat down, and handed the letters to Annabeth and Percy. They curiously opened the envelope, and Percy squinted at the words as the letters danced across the page. "Gee thanks Chiron, I can totally read this." Percy commented and eyed Annabeth, who was also struggling to read the letter. Chiron looked embarrassed as he realized his mistake. And realizing he didn't have a copy in greek, he read the letter aloud for the two to hear.
Mr. P Jackson,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since you are of age for our returning 7th years, you shall join them in classes, but upon arrival, you will board the boats and attend the sorting ceremony with our first years.
A list of materials you will need for the following school year will be included with your acceptance letter.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore,
Headmaster of Hogwarts
He then read aloud the list of materials to the two demigods. "So we're getting these things today?" Annabeth asked. "Yes, in fact, after you pack your things we'll apparate to Diagon Alley." Chiron answered. "Apparate? Diagon Alley?" Percy questioned, a look of confusion spread across his face. "Apparation is Wizard travel and Diagon Alley is where you will get your school supplies." Chiron explained. "Now, off you go to pack your things."
And so after Percy and Annabeth packed the necessities and a few extra items, they were ready to apparate to Diagon Alley.
Apparating is NOT as easy OR fun as it sounds. Percy thought after they arrived at Diagon Alley. He had felt as if he was being pulled apart yet squished together at the same time, if that was possible. Percy looked over at Annabeth, who looked sick to her stomach. He grabbed her hand and the two followed Chiron down the alley.
"Woah," Percy commented as he looked around. He, Chiron and Annabeth were pushing through the crowded cobblestone path of Diagon Alley. They passed a bunch of stores but due to his dyslexia, Percy was having a hard time reading the wandered into a store that looked to Percy as if it said Ollivanders. The store's walls were shelves, some crooked, some old, and on each one of shelves lay about 20 small boxes. Chiron led them to the center of the room, where an elderly man stood at a desk, waiting for them to approach. Chiron motioned for the two to come closer, and they did. "Ah, Percy Jackson, I've been expecting you." The man said. Percy looked up, startled at the sound of his name. "Percy and Annabeth, this is Mr. Ollivander, he will find the perfect wand for you."
And so 10 minutes later Percy walked out of Ollivander's with a 12" mermaid hair core, rosewood wand, and Annabeth with a 13" phoenix feather core, acacia wand.
Chiron, Annabeth, and Percy continued on, buying all the necessary items for the upcoming school year including their robes, couldrons, brooms and more.
The next day they would start their adventure at Hogwarts; School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
A/N Thank you so much for reading! I'll try to make the next chapter longer and more interesting. Have an amazing Morning/Afternoon/Whatever time it is.
