Chapter 2
A School of Magic
-Nico
After Percy left the pavilion, chaos broke loose. People were shooting questions back and forth in hope to find some justice about this situation.
"Percy and Annabeth broke up?!"
"Do you think Percy'll go out with me?"
"Does this mean Percy's up for grabs?"
I rolled my eyes got up off the ground. I brushed off my pants then left the very chatty dining pavilion. I made my way to my cabin for a nap, but I was stopped by a hyperactive Latino.
"Heya Nico!" Leo said excitedly. "Chiron wants you in the Big House pronto."
I nodded and changed course for the Big House.
When I got there, I saw Percy sitting down on one of the couches. He changed clothes since dinner time. Now he was wearing faded blue jeans and a blue-green tee. I walked into the room and leaned against the wall, waiting for Chiron to tell me what he needed.
"Hey Nico?" Percy said questionably.
I looked over in his direction and saw him staring back at me. "Yeah."
Percy sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I just wanted to say sorry. About Annabeth. She's not taking the break up so well I guess."
Inside, my heart was exploding. Percy Jackson is apologizing to my for his EX-girlfriends behavior. Oh my gods! I had to keep my cool so he wouldn't think I was crazy, so I nodded. "It's fine Percy. It's not your fault."
Percy looked at me. I could see how upset he was about this. "I know, but I just, I don't understand why she keeps blaming you! If she hurts you it'll be my fault Nico! I could never forgive myself for that."
I knew Percy was gonna be bugged about this all day, so I did what any gloomy child of Hades would do. I rolled my eyes at him. "Seriously Jackson. I'm fine. Now drop it cause knowing you, you're gonna be worried about this all day and I can't have you apologizing to me all day."
A smile found its way to Percy's face. He held his hands up in the surrender gesture and laughed. "Alright, alright. Just one more thing."
I sighed. "What?"
"Do you forgive me?"
I put my hand to my chin to make it look like I was thinking. "Hmmm. Well I guess I could forgive you this time."
"Really?!" Percy was beaming.
I chuckled. "Yeah Percy. I forgive you."
Percy got off the couch he was on and ran up to me. He embraced me into a hug. My heart fluttered in my chest and started beating ten times faster. Percy Jackson was hugging me. Not gonna lie. I loved it. Percy's arms were so warm and homey. He smelled like the sea on a warm, sunny day. When he let go, I felt cold and alone again.
"Thanks Neeks." He said as he walked back to the couch.
I frowned. "Don't call me that."
The older boy laughed at me. "Whatever you say Ghost King."
I was about to retort, but Chiron chose this moment to walk in.
"Hello children." He greeted. "I have some news from Lady Hecate. She has requested that you two travel to her pet world and help with some of the minds that have been affected during the war." Percy bolted up from his seat and was about to yell, but Chiron kept talking. "Now before start screaming and shouting, this quest is not dangerous, and Lady Hecate says you can not refuse."
Percy sat back down with a huff and crossed his arms over his chest. He poked his lip out in a pout so he now looked like an angry baby seal. I turned back to Chiron with a scowl. "What's in Hecate's pet world? More demigods? Monsters?"
Chiron took in a deep breath. "Wizards."
Percy perked up at that. He looked at Chiron with great interest. "Wait, wizards. Like the ones with the pointy hats and wands and stuff wizards."
Chiron nodded. "Yes, and you two will be going to a school called Hogwarts-"
Chiron didn't get a chance to finish, because he was interrupted by Percy's laughter.
"H-h-Hogwarts! What kind of name is that!"
I'll admit. The name was pretty funny, but I don't laugh. At least not anymore. Not since Bianca. Not the time to be thinking about this. Stupid ADHD.
Chiron sighed and continued as if Percy hadn't interrupted him. "This school was built for wizards, so naturally it is filled with them. Your job is to blend in with the wizards who decided to retake their last year of school due to the war. You must not tell them of your identities. Understood?"
Percy and I nodded our heads to show our understandment.
"Vey well." Chiron said with a curt nod. "Now go pack your bags. Hecate will be here to transport you to the place you'll be staying in about half an hour. All of your school supplies has already been purchased and is at your temporary home. I ask that you study before you leave so you don't look like baffons. When Hecate gets here, she will bless you with the ability to perform magic, and with some knowledge of magic. When you finish packing meet back here. Now go on. And hurry. You have 27 minutes."
I left the Big house and headed straight for my cabin. As soon as I got there, I grabbed a backpack from under my bed and began throwing things in it. I didn't have much stuff so it didn't take long for me to pack. All I really needed was some clothes, toiletries, ambrosia, and nectar. Luckily, I had a bottomless bag so I could fit some extra things in there like knives, and my stash of Fruit Loops. Don't judge. Sometimes I need a little change from the darkness and fruit loops are for the fruit. I laughed at my own joke and threw the colorful cereal in my bag.
When I finished packing, I went back to the Big House to wait for Hecate to teleport us.
-Percy
So after Chiron told us about these wizard people, we had to go and pack for a quest in which we meet these strange magic folk. I reached in my closet and grabbed my bottomless backpack. Artemis rewarded them to the seven after the giant war as a helping tool or something. I quickly grabbed a handful of clothes from all of my dresser drawers and then I went to my bathroom and grabbed my toiletries.
Once I finished in the bathroom, I went back to the bedroom part and grabbed some ambrosia and nectar from the top of my dresser. After I packed, I made my way towards the Big House so Hecate could transport Nico and I to London.
When I got to the Big House, Nico was already there. He was leaning against the wall by the rocking chairs. He looked so at peace. His ebony hair rested over his closed eyes. His pale skin glowed in the low light of the sun setting. All in all, he looked hot. WOAH? Where'd that come from? Did I just call another guy hot? And not just any guy, but Nico di Angelo? This is weird.
I shook my head a little in order to try and get that thought out. Once I felt ready enough, I approached the younger boy. He didn't see me because his eyes were still closed, but I knew he knew I was there.
"Hey Nico!" I said cheerily. I walked over to a rocking chair that was beside the dark boy and sat down. "What do you think the wizards'll be like?"
He shrugged. "I don't know Perce." He answered. His eyes were still closed and his back still rested on the outer wall of the Big House.
I sighed. "I hope their nice and not like 'Oh my gods weird Americans!' Ya know?"
I saw a small smile form on Nico's face. "Yeah. I hope they're cool."
On that note, our conversation ended. Nico and I sat in comfortable silence for the rest of the wait.
It didn't take long for Hecate to get here. Only about two minutes after Nico and I ended our conversation.
"Greetings demigods." She said as she walked closer to us.
Nico and I bowed. "Lady Hecate." We said in unison.
She smiled at us. "Rise."
We did as told and rose from the ground. Now we stood facing the goddess of magic. Waiting to be transported to London.
"Now." She said assertively. "The two of you will be staying in one of my vacation homes out in London. Please don't blow it up." She glanced over at me and Nico let out a small laugh. "All of your school supplies is in your room in the house. Please remember to actually read the books so you're not complete idiots."
We nodded and she beamed. "Great. Now I will bless you with the ability to perform magic, and minor knowledge on every subject." Hecate lifted her hands and a glowing light shot from them. The light rocketed towards Nico and I. It formed a circle around the two of us before it shot upwards and exploded in to dust. The dust sprinkled over me and Nico and I suddenly felt different. I felt this new surge of power, but it wasn't nearly as strong as my demigod powers.
"Woah." Nico mumbled.
"Yeah. Woah." I said agreeing with him.
Hecate smiled and held out her hands. "Grab on and don't let go."
Nico and I each grabbed on to the goddesses hands and then in a flash of light, we disappeared.
There you have it guys. Chapter 3 on the way
