Chapter 1
(Percy POV)
Why does this always happen to me? I'm always asked to help if the gods lose something or the other. This time? Hades and Hecate's temper over some dude named Voldemort, in the Wizarding world. "Percy, come on!" Annabeth yelled. "We're gonna miss the train!" "Coming!" I called, rushing over to Nico, Piper, Jason, Annabeth, Hazel, Frank, and Grover. "Now… How do we get onto the platform?" I asked. That started up a whole argument between Jason, Annabeth, and basically everyone else except me and Piper.
—-LINE BREAK—
A while later, Piper yelled, "HOW. DO. WE. GET. ONTO. THE. FUCKING. PLATFORM!?" They all jumped, and Annabeth said, "We go through the barrier between 9 and 10… I think." Nico and I exchanged looks. "Did the great Annabeth Chase, almighty daughter of ATHENA, just say the words 'I think'?" we said at the same time, Nico laughing hysterically. She gave us her famous death glare, and we both wisely shut up. Then Jason said, "Come on, guys, we're gonna miss the train!" We went through the barrier in pairs, Jason and Piper first, me and Nico after that, then Hazel and Frank, and finally Reyna and Annabeth. As soon as we got through the barrier, I was blinded by thick smoke, and a scarlet train that said - "The Hoqwraj Eybresz?" Piper said, cracking up. "It says 'The Hogwarts Express', you guys," Reyna sighed. "And hurry up and get in, if we want to get a compartment to ourselves."
We followed Annabeth into the car, and quickly found an empty compartment. As soon as we all settled down, Nico and I continued to tease Annabeth about her not knowing something. "Oh, Annabeth, are you sick? Do you need to go to the doctor? How did you not know something? Did Athena accidentally curse her favorite child?" The taunts continued until Annabeth finally had enough and said, "if you two don't shut up right now, you will find yourselves at the sharp end of my dagger," giving us her death glare. Nico and I both nodded fearfully, and I quickly turned to Reyna.. "Rey, keep your girlfriend under control!" I complained, knowing that complaining to Reyna would piss her off again. It worked, and Annabeth flipped me the bird and slapped me upside the head. We both laughed, and started talking about ignorant gods with Jason and Nico. we were all happy. For once, we were on a quest, but there were no gods to tell us what to do. We could go by our own rules on this one. I just one hope for this trip, and it had nothing to do with the godly side of my life...
Suddenly, the compartment door opened, and the person who stepped into our compartment made me gasp.
