A/n : Dear reader, thank you for opening this story. Bless you.
Calypso's pov ,
"Wake up, Leo," I ordered, "It is already 8. We are leaving at 10, remember?"
"Aww, sunshine. You remembered...I thought we could skip it," I rolled my eyes. Honestly, I had gotten used to a peaceful life and did not like quests but this was my first one and I was excited.
"Get up," I ordered again. Leo jumped out of bed and dragged me to the mess hall. I looked at the people gathered. Everyone was ready , excluding Percy and Nico. Nothing out of the ordinary. "Do we have a uniform? After all it is a school," I asked. Jason paled and grimaced.
"We have to wear Ancient Greek clothes," he muttered.
"Silence," he demanded. Suddenly, everyone stopped talking and looked at Chiron. Sure enough, there was pin drop silence. "You will wear Greek clothes and then in school you can wear normal stuff," he added. Then, he passed them a stack of clothes. "Here, these are yours," he said.
All of us grabbed one and rushed to the bathroom. I had a white chiton with a gold belt, just like the one I often wore in Ogygia. I sighed and then, smiled. Maybe this quest would not be very bad.
Piper's pov,
Chiron informed us that we would teleport to England, Ministry of Magic , whatever that is and Hecate would transport us. We met up with her and she gave each of us a truck filled with books and strange clothes.
"Now, you all will need your wands," Hecate smiled before gabbing a few very thin boxes. She then went on to inform about our wand properties.

And, after that I zoned out. Hecate teleported us infront of a huge building. We were greeted by a pudgy looking man.
"Hello , you must be the royals, pleasure meeting you. Pleasure," he bowed. "I am the newly elected Minister of Magic : Agarmus Durne," he smiled. "He is here," he added. "Today , your guide will be Mr. Weasley. You'll be staying with him. His children have fought in a war and knowing that you have fought in 2," he looked at us pointedly, " we would be honoured if you help them through."
"Of course," Jason nodded.
"Hello, I am Arthur Weasley. A pleasure to make your acquaintance," he nodded. "As I don't have a car, we'll be using muggle transport . It is called a bus.A strange name isn't it?" he laughed before beckoning us forward. We followed him and got onto the bus, which the ministry has booked.
The bus fit everyone. Percy and Annabeth were sleeping. Hazel and Frank were playing a card game, which Leo had created, named The Heroes and and Reyna were talking in hushed tones. Lou, Katie, Travis and Connor were doing god knows what. Calypso and Leo were arguing. Nico and Will were also sleeping. I sat beside Jason who had plugged his earphone and was listening to music on his monster proof Valdez Phone. I decided to the same thing. :)
I started to listening to a song named Pretty's on the inside by Chloe Adams.
I don't look like her
She's in all the magazines
So much prettier than me
You don't know it hurts
Staring at my iPhone screen
Watching others live their dream
But mama, she said to me
(Mama she said)
One day my love, you'll see
Pretty's on the inside
See it in your own eyes
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
Pretty's on the inside
But I can't tell my own mind
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
That pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
I don't like myself
But maybe it's all in my head
And I am not the words I've said
These images they sell
Maybe none of it is real
And I could love the way I feel
'Cause mama, she said to me
(Mama she said)
One day I swear you'll see
The pretty's on the inside
See it in your own eyes
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
The pretty's on the inside
But I can't tell my own mind
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
That pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
'Cause mama, she said to me
Don't live in jealousy
And mama she said to me
You'll see it eventually
The pretty's on the inside
See it in your own eyes
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
The pretty's on the inside
But I can't tell my own mind
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
The pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside
Pretty's on the inside...
And, then I drifted off to sleep, disconnecting from reality. I woke up to the sound of arguing. Jason looked at me and smiled.
"We're here," Arthur Weasley announced.
All of us rushed out of the bus and looked outside to see a huge house.
"This is where you'll be living!" he announced.
"You live here," I asked.
"Heavens, no, this is your house for this year. The Ministry has given you the best of the best," he smiled before jumping into the bus and driving off.
"Gods, this house is awesome," laughed Leo, before running into the house yelling 'Flame on'.
We all followed him, curious to see and explore it.
