Welcome to the next chapter, I'm not going to ramble too much so here you go.


O.C POV (Obviously)

I couldn't sleep. It's not like I had any nightmares or anything, I just couldn't fall asleep. I looked around the cabin at the other campers, all lying down, dreaming into an endless wonder.

I felt really out of place here. I tried thinking of nice thoughts, like being able to meet my friends at school again. Or maybe being accepted to a good university where I can pursue in what I study in. Both of them didn't work. I tried thinking of anything, really. Anything that could cheer me up. I met new people, that's a plus. But I wouldn't consider them my friends. At least, not yet.

It would be great if I could just fall asleep right then and there. But I'm a light sleeper, so the slight noise of the wood creaking on the floor is enough to wake me up. I've never actually had a problem with that, though. It was easier to wake up and get ready for school because of that. But I also love sleeping, so most of the time I'd go straight back to bed for five minutes. I'm not the one to pull an all nighter, I usually stay awake until around 2:00 to 4:00 A.M (which is bad), but I didn't sleep at all that night.

As the sun started to rise, other campers started to too. I was the first one awake, as I was never sleeping in the first place. (Duh.) Some didn't wake up as early as others, and some didn't flinch when the noise started to get louder. I decided not to leave the cabin.

After the "meeting," Percy had told me that we will be going to a magical school. Apparently, it's a school called Bogwars? Don't take it from me, that's what he said.

All of our things were already packed. Any extra items were allowed, but you had to pack them yourself.

And so the quest starts today, which means the Roman demigod will be arriving soon, unless, she had already come.

I got out of the cabin and saw Chiron calling me to come forward. I obeyed and went up to him. Right next to him was a girl, which I'm guessing, was the other demigod. She had a stern look on her face, but also a slight smile. She was talking to Percy, I'm assuming, about the plans for the quest. I was told to rest after the meeting, so I didn't get to hear the rest of it.

"Jack, meet Reyna. She's the demigod they sent from Camp Jupiter, all the way from California." My eyes widened, and I got nervous after I realized that I made this girl come all the way from California just to go on a stupid quest with me. I brought out my hand out and awkwardly chuckled.

"Haha, hi. I'm so sorry for making you come all the way over here." Reyna shook my hand.

"It's fine. The only thing I'm worried about right now is just how Camp Jupiter is going to work out without me." Her brown eyes glistened in the sun as she spoke.

Reyna looked nice. She had long brown hair, all tied up into a braid that was resting on her chest. She had fair skin, darker than mine, but it was filled with scars.

"You will be entering a wizarding shopping area in London, also known as Diagon Alley. We were not able to acquire your wands, as the wands choose the magical holder. After that, you will go to King's Cross station, and enter Platform Nine and Three-Quarters." I looked at Chiron confused. Was there even a Platform Nine and Three-Quarters? After living in London for most of my life, I don't think so.

"Now before you get more confused, Platform Nine and Three-Quarters is located between Platforms Nine and Ten. You must walk through a metal ticket box in order to get there." Ah, so we must do that. I would've sounded surprised, but now I think that's the most normal thing I have heard so far.

"Lady Hecate has blessed you three with the magical ability her people hold. She has offered to take you to the alley, but not to King's Cross. You must find your way then. Once you get to Hogwarts, you must somehow become friends with a boy named Harry Potter and make sure the wizarding world doesn't make the wrong choices. And for now, good luck." Chiron patted our shoulders and suddenly we were in a whole new place.

A very familiar place if I do say so myself. Just a glimpse of this place made something in my brain click. But I don't exactly remember what I recognize of this. I looked around. I saw people coming and going into shops. We decided to walk around a bit, looking into other shops, seeing cool things. Flourish and Blotts, Madam Malkin's, and Gringott's Wizarding Bank, which is run by goblins.

And then I saw Ollivander's wand shop.

"Hey, uh, guys, I think that place is where we're supposed to go to." I pointed at the shop and heard an agreement. We started walking towards it, and when we went inside what we saw was, I guess you can say, magic-like?

The shop was dirty and looked old. VERY old. It was filled with mountains and mountains of boxes. Boxes everywhere and anywhere it could fit on the shelves. We looked around, trying to find a worker of some sort. Then there was a creaking noise behind us. I looked back and an elderly looking man appeared.

"I see you fellows have come here to look for your wands, eh? You're really late, though. In only a few hours the train leaves the station," he croaked.

"Then I guess, uh, let's get started," Percy burst out, obviously worried about the time.

And so it happened. The man asked him what was his wand arm, and I'm assuming that means dominate arm. He checked his arm and did some other things I was too bored to notice. He grabbed a wand out of a shelf and handed it to Percy.

"Why can't we just choose our own wands? That'll be way faster than doing this jumbo," Percy interrupted.

"Weren't you listening? Chiron said that the wand chooses the magical user. I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to choose, " I pestered. The man grabbed a wand out of a shelf and handed it to Percy.

"That is very much correct. My wands have been made ever since 382 B.C., and no two wands were the exact same. They are carefully made and only choose the person they feel is right for them." The man grabbed a wand out of a shelf and handed it to Percy.

"Black walnut wood, unicorn hair co-" he was cut off. Percy's wand started to smoke from the tip.

"Sometimes the person they choose isn't as fit enough for them, and so they might malfunction in the user's grasp." The man then took the wand away and replaced it with another one.

"Cedar wood, dragon heartstring core, eleven inches in length, and is attracted to natural born fighters." He smiled at Percy, showing his crooked teeth.

Percy gripped his wand and held it up to his own face. His sea-green eyes widening just by looking at a stick. Er, I mean, wand.

"Woah," he blurted. The man let out a small laugh.

"Woah, indeed."

Next person was me, he asked me the same things, blah blah blah, what's your wand arm, blah blah. He also then checked my arm and came back with a wand.

"Cypress wood, Pheonix feather core, thirteen inches in length and surprisingly swishy flexibility."

I swished my hand (Haha get it?), and you could hear the wind/air, I don't know, whistle past. Kind of like if you were to swat a tennis racket around. Thank goodness there were no complications with my wand.

Last but not least, Reyna stepped forward. The same questions asked, same actions repeated. He handed her a wand. But before he could say anything, sparks like electricity started to come out of it.

"Much like Percy's situation, your wand realized that you weren't the correct one for it. But that doesn't matter greatly, as there is always a wand lurking around here that is the right match." He took it back and then gave her a different one.

"Blackthorn wood, unicorn hair core, twelve inches in length, and is attracted to natural born leaders."

She then flicked her wand and a little swirl came out of it. Cool.

"You fellows also seem a bit old to be getting wands right now. Are you transfers? Hogwarts hasn't had transfers in years." He questioned with curiosity.

"Yes, American transfers. We would like to talk more, but we must hurry." We waved goodbye just about to leave when Reyna turned around.

"Oh, and thank you."


A delayed and rushed chapter. Sorry. I based Jack loosely off of myself, really the only notable things like choosing to spend time alone, and that wand she received? That's mine. I really don't have a lot of things to say here so I'm going to answer the reviews, which there isn't a lot. Oh, and if you feel like the pace is going too fast, please tell me. I could slow it down if you want.

1. IcyFox17 - More thoughtful comments! Thank you. Being a Gryffindor isn't a bad thing, and I won't hate you for that just because I'm a Slytherin. I was also really surprised when I did get put in Slytherin, though. If anything, I thought Hufflepuff was going to be my house. Oh, and I'm a Pukwudgie here. :)


My friends are now able to see Hamilton without me. Great.

Goodnight to anyone who is reading this at night. - Awes0me
