Percy
Although being told they didn't have to bring anything, Percy and Annabeth still grabbed their weapons. Percy's being Riptide, and Annabeth brought her dagger and hat that her mother gifted to her. Although the magic still did not work, she was hoping her mom would be gracious enough to give it back it's magic in a time of need.
The night air was cold and crisp, but was not tolerated for long. The three wizards used a portal that brought them across the map to the wizard school. Hogwarts.
"We will have you sorted into your house's, but since it's not the beginning of the year- we will keep you two quiet and go to Dumbledor for the sorting. "
The halls were empty except for the sound of their footsteps walking down the hall. The noise seemed to bounce off the narrow walls and come straight back at them, that is until they entered a hall with many pictures that Percy and Annabeth realized were watching them silently.
Harry stalled behind, "It's normal for the pictures to watch us, a lot of things here are not very normal for muggles to see, but I can assume that you have seen enough weird things of your own."
Percy bit down on his lip as he watched Harry's eyes stay on Annabeth. He knew Harry had only been speaking to Annabeth then.
Ron seemed to notice the needles that were being glared into Harry. "Bloody hell.. You don't think he likes the muggle girl, do you?" he said in a hushed voice to Percy.
"He better not… or I'll-" Percy was interrupted by Hermione "We are here, remember no one is suppose to find out about this, so be quiet."
And with that being said, they entered the office of the great wizard.
The wizard in white was tending to his books on his bookshelf. He turned and warmly welcomed the group.
"Ah, I see you successfully brought them here." he said.
Annabeth nearly tripped over herself, a gasp was stuck in her throat. Percy rushed over to her, but was too late having Harry closer to her. He helped her gain her balance, "Are you okay?" he asked very gently. A sour taste built in Percy's mouth, he shoved Harry aside. "What's wrong Annabeth?" He noticed she was slightly trembling. "I have seen you before."
Dumbledore raised his eyebrow and smirked. Annabeth stoned over her emotions and let go of Percy. "You were the one- I saw you just before the bus passed. When Percy and I were in the city."
"That is correct."
Percy was getting very annoyed about being left in the dark so frequently lately. "Wait, what?" he questioned.
"I thought that all never happened…" Annabeth's thoughts swam.
"Seeing how much happened, it is difficult to tell what was real, and what was not." he replied with a calm expression.
"What was real?" Annabeth asked.
"That I am afraid I cannot tell you, for that is for you to find out for yourself child."
Hermione, Harry, and Ron all watched silently, just as confused as Percy and Annabeth were.
"You are here to find out why all this has happened. So first, let's get you two settled in your houses. Hermione, be a dear and get me the hat please."
