Congratulations on our 20th chapter! Thank you so much, guys!
-Annabeth's POV-
I apparently had two golden drachmas in my pocket. I had forgotten all about them. We could try to Iris-Message Chiron, but we didn't know if it would work. Besides, it was super sunny out, and it was really hard to find a rainbow.
One day at Hogwarts, Leo took out a miniature figure of the Argo II. He saw me staring quizzically at him, and he grinned. "Watch," he said. Fishing out a syringe out of his pocket, he dropped a bit of blue liquid on the figure. Slowly, it grew into a giant life-size ship. We all just stared. "L-Leo, did you.. rebuild the s-ship?" asked Percy shakily. Leo nodded, and explained how. After that, the bell rang. It was time for class now.
When we clambered into the greenhouses, Professor Sprout told us to put on dragon-hide gloves and pick a Saturnian Peasnapper. At least, that's what she called it. Ugh, gross. Percy dived into the lake and didn't come out for several minutes. We all doubled over laughing after the giant squid launched him out.
Anyways, Grover told us he managed to find a rainbow. We all quickly followed him to a bunch of puddles. Sure enough, a mirage of a rainbow was reflecting off one of them. I tossed in one of my drachmas, and said "O' Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Chiron." Then, a circle opened up. It actually worked! Chiron was in his wheelchair, talking seriously with Will, Clarisse, and Jake. Will saw me first. "Annabeth! Percy!" he exclaimed. All eyes locked on us. Chiron hurried forward. "My dear, what has happened? You have not returned for days.," he said in a worried tone. We all took turns explaining what happened. The explosion, the portals, the train, Hogwarts, Harry and his friends, Diagon Alley (everyone kept pronouncing it wrong), and up to now. Chiron thought for a moment. "I will send a reinforcements to try and bring you back," he said. We slowly nodded. "What about the others?" Chiron asked. "Are they alright?" Hazel said that the rest of them were sucked in to the other portal, so we didnt know what happened. Just before we ended the connection, Percy and I each requested something. I asked Chiron to bring my cousin Magnus, and Percy said he needed Carter and Sadie. Chiron nodded and told us to keep calm. After the connection ended, we stood there in silence. Then bushes rustled. Everyone drew their weapons. But it was just a stag. I eyed it with apprehension, then decided it was harmless. We all packed up our stuff and walked away.
-Harry's POV-
Blimey, that was a close one! They almost found me out, but I'm glad I learned to be an Animagus. After changing back, I thought for a bit. How did they do that message thing? The Death Eaters have a centaur for a guide? And apparently they were sidetracked on a 'quest.' I rushed back to Gryffindor Tower. I needed to tell Ron and Hermione.
