A/N: So sorry for this late update. The computer crashed (repeatedly) and I have been so busy with summer classes. I am thankful for all those who reviewed and your reviews are greatly appreciated. For those who said that this story is good, I humbly say thank you.

A/N: I will be introducing different point of views later in this chapter and more in upcoming chapters.

A/N: In regard to pairings. I have been asked if this is a Jeyna story… It is not a Jeyna story persay… I am just getting their relationship back to the way it was meant to be. Not cold but close. For the other pairings, my lips are zipped. However, make note that romance is NOT a focus of this fanfic. It will be there, subtly, but not a main topic.

Disclaimer: Do you own Harry P… NO. What about Percy Jackson…NOPE. And I never will ever ever ever. Ok…. (However, all rights to an artistic license :) )

Chapter 3

Percy's POV

We all woke up around six and groggily made our way downstairs.

For the first time in a while, I had a dreamless sleep and so did the others.

But do you know the saying "the calm before the storm"?

I had a feeling that this was the calm.

We all sat down around the table.

Since it was relatively early, nobody else was downstairs.

Carefully looking around, Leo created a flame ball and uncurled his fingers. The ball of fire gently hovered above Leo's outstretched hand.

At the same time, Hazel closed her eyes and concentrated. She pointed her flat palm to the ground and concentrated. Suddenly metal seemed to erupt from the wooden floor of the leaky cauldron. Hazel worked on shaping in into the form of a brazier while Katie used her daughter of Demeter powers to seal up the cracks in the floor, sothere would be no suspicion.

Once Hazel was finished, Leo ,with careful control and precision, flung his fire ball into the brazier and let the fire light up and BINGO a travel- brazier.

From there, things proceeded in their normal manner. There was this menu in the Cauldron for the 'Early Bird risers'. It stated that since it was so early and nobody was available, you could just touch whatever you wanted to eat and it would instantly appear.

We all had our food of choice. I dug into a plate of blueberry pancakes- gotta keep up that energy right?- and observed what everyone else picked to eat. Katie got her hands on an enormous bowl of cereal and was content eating away. Travis and Conner both were eating waffles. Pollux was buttering up a grape and berry scone, while Dakota, still unaware that there was no Kool Aid in London, England, was putting grape jam on toast. Reyna was carefully cutting up French toast in that precise manner she did everything with. Jason and Thalia, who both unconsciously chose the same thing, were eating honey oats granola with a glass of milk. Bobby ate muesli while talking to Hazel. Marcus had porridge with additional fruits in it. Hazel was eating poached eggs and ham. Frank was talking to Clarisse while eating bannock and bacon, a Canadian breakfast. Clarisse was eating this odd breakfast jerky combo. Chris had Mexican eggs and a glass of orchata. Leo was quietly and groggily munching away at his breakfast of churros and something he said his mother always made for him. Nico was half-awake eating Italian bread with breakfast toppings. Annabeth was eating brain cereal (as I like to call it) while Malcolm was eating olive bread with a side of apples. Will was eating boiled grapefruit and his twin was eating crepes and biscotti. Piper was twirling a toothpick tipped with foil while slowly eating an egg and cheese sandwich.

As soon as we finished eating we went upstairs.

He had left a letter addressed to all of us on top of our trunks.

After we all changed, we gathered in the guy's room to read and discuss the letter.

Here is what it said.

" Dear Campers,

If you have received this letter this means that you have arrived safely. Kudos to you.

Enclosed in this letter are your wands. These are the weapons that witches and wizards use to harness their powers. You will use this to allow yourselves to blend in and not to risk exposing yourselves. These wands are special as you will be able to harness your powers through them. The materials of your wands are as follows (size is irrelevant- you can discover this by yourselves):

Percy: mangrove wood and Pegasus hair

Annabeth: olive wood and unicorn tail hair

Nico: black popular wood and Thestral tail hair

Hazel: Elder and Dragon Heartstring

Thalia: pine and eagle feather

Jason: white oak and eagle feather

Reyna: mountain mahogany and griffin hair

Clarisse: desert ironwood and boar hair

Frank: Cherry and Dragon scale

Katie: Elm and Dittany stalk

Travis: Bamboo and Breath of the Wind

Conner: Cedar and Snake scale

Alessandra: Aspen and Sun Ray

Will: Laurel and Phoenix feather

Malcolm: Hawthorn and Owl feather

Bobby: Ash and Unicorn Tail Hair

Marcus: Oak and Lion hair

Leo: Chesnut and Eternal Ember

Pollux: Vine and Leopard hair

Dakota: Vine and shard of eternal cornucopia

Piper: Koa and peacock feather

The Hogwarts Express departs at 10:00 am at Platform 9 ¾ ( Just run into the barrier between platform 9 and 10) at the Kings Cross Station. In your trunks are your school uniform and robes and your school books. I would advise for you to change on the train. Boys, don't worry- you do not have to wear the robes ALL the time. After lessons you will be able to wear your casual clothes as well as on weekends. Alabaster and Lou Ellen will teach you to read the course material despite your dyslexia.

At Hogwarts, you will meet some fellow demigods who will probably tell you more on this subject than I can. Voldemort is on the loose. Despite what those nincompoops at their magical Ministry think, he is ALIVE ~ I assure you. Your duty is to protect Harry Potter and his friends from danger. At the same time, you will need to defeat the Man-With-No-Nose (literally). It is to my belief that he has split his soul (Nico will know the most about this and Hades' price on his head) into seven parts and stored them in objects called Horcruxes. You will need to get rid of these Horcruxes (no easy feat) so at the end of the year ~ Harry will defeat Voldemort (with your assistance of course- but at this point he will be mortal and so the job will be easier.) At Hogwarts, there are students whose parents sympathize with Voldemort and may pose a threat to your mission.

Remember that monsters WILL still attack you even when you are in England. Keep your weapons concealed but still in your possession at ALL times.

Since all of you have no magical experience. Alabaster and Lou Ellen will assist you in getting up to speed.

It is of utmost importance that your cover is NOT blown.

The best of luck,

Chiron

P.S Do remember that Hecate has given you all her blessing (temporarily). Use it wisely.

P.P.S I expect you all back in a year and during breaks (possibly) alive and in one piece.

P.P.S Keep in contact regularly through IM-ing."

After we finished reading, we all received our wands.

"Hocus Pocus!" Conner said, waving his wand in an absurd fashion. "Abra-Cadabra"

Everybody had stiches in their stomach from laughing so hard.

"That is what not to do. We are here to teach you what to do." A voice piped up from behind us.

"Miss us?" Alabaster drawled.

Lou Ellen whacked him on the shoulder.

"Alright, so we are going to teach you the spells that the 5th Year Students at Hogwarts already know." Lou Ellen said.

Alabaster rolled up his sleeves. "Let's get started."

So… for the next 2 hours ( until 9:15) we were all practices the various techniques and spells that Lou Ellen and Alabaster taught us.

My personal favorite was Aguamenti which conjured water… but.. Hey that's just me!

We learnt the spell for translating the material to Greek or Roman (which would only apply to our eyes) is Vertere.

After this intense workout we were all wiped.

"You guys are pretty decent. Here I bid you adieu. Chiron requires me back at Camp Half-Blood. But.. Ah… dear Alabaster, you are here to stay. See you in a year." She grinned cheekily and then walked off into a portal.

We all showered and changed, and then regrouped.

"Hey Nico, what was Chiron talking about that you would know? You know, in the letter." Malcolm asked while toweling his hair.

"Voldemort or Tom Riddle has been a real issue down in the Underworld. My dad is pissed over this guy because he has caused some serious issues. He has killed a ton of innocent people which means a bunch of spirits which is clogging up traffic. Also, he has taken up the title Lord Voldemort which literally means 'He who flees death' which angers my dad even more. Seriously, there is a spot in Tartarus reserved for this monster. My dad wants me to bring him in as soon as possible, along with a bunch of other ghosts who refuse to pass into the afterlife although they have family waiting." Nico said with a shrug and a bit of a scowl.

"He split his soul into seven parts. The process to do it is quite bloody and violent and involves murder. He puts these fractions of his soul into different objects, called Horcruxes. These objects do not have to be fancy or related in any form. As long as these horcruxes are in existence, he retains a sort of twisted immortality. This is why they need to be destroyed. I am not exactly clear on how to destroy them, your brother would know more Annabeth, but a basilisk fang is one such way of killing it. Also, he has a group of followers called Death Eaters. Why they want to eat Thanatos I wouldn't know. They come to his beckoning and have this beacon signal of sorts implanted in this hideous tattoo on their arm. Voldemort is also skilled in Occumency and is a good Legilimens; which means he can read your mind. I am skilled in both of these as well and I'll teach you soon."

All of us looked a bit ill at this point from Nico's description.

"Ohmygosh, we are almost late. Hurry! Hurry! If we don't leave now, we'll miss the train."

Annabeth's skilled timing at looking at the clock broke the moment.

We all rushed to gather our things and leave.

Fifteen minutes later, we are standing in front of the entrance to platform 9 ¾. We arrived through a lot of hassle, shadow travelling and messed up navigation skills.

"Alright guys, Chiron said that you had to run straight through the barrier, and you will arrive at platform 9 ¾. Who wants to go first?" Annabeth asked.

"I will" I said.

"That's not fair. I'm next then," Conner complained.

I made sure I had a firm grip on my trolley and then went a way away from the pillar. I started running, picked up a little speed, closed my eyes and braced myself.

Assuring myself two seconds later that I felt quite alive, I opened my eyes.

In front of me was a brilliant old-fashioned train that was a startling scarlet and black color.

Hundreds of people were gathered around the platform. (The sign did read 'Platform 9 ¾')

I had to stand to the side to avoid getting barreled over by Conner.

"That was so cool!" He exclaimed in excitement.

We waited until everyone had passed over before making our way over to the train.

Putting our trunks up with ease, we quickly found a compartment.

We actually had to split up because we were too large of a group. Frank, Marcus, Conner, Dakota, Alabaster, Chris, Clarisse, Piper, Hazel, and a couple others left to find another compartment.

Those moments after finding a compartment, we just relaxed.

That moment of calm disappeared as soon as the compartment door opened again.

I opened my eyes to see three familiar faces.

Neville, son of Pomona; Luna, legacy of Providentia (Roman goddess of forethought); and Colin (son of Tyche)

I stood up and gave Neville a clap on the back as well as Colin. I then went over to Luna and gave her a hug.

The rest of us gave similar greetings.

"Neville, Luna, Colin; didn't expect to see you guys here. How are you doing?" I asked.

Neville grinned, "Doing fine Perc."

Neville was a son of Pomona and a soldier of the Fourth Cohort. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He helped rally the Romans during the war. He also helped provide the food supply that was needed when we were in Greece. He was an incredible cook and could grow food like crazy.

Luna was a legacy of Providentia who I encountered after I became Praetor. She appeared a little distracted at all times, but always had a knack to say the right thing. She also had mini prophecy flashes due to her being a legacy of the Roman goddess of forethought. She had light blonde hair and startlingly light blue eyes.

Colin was a son of Tyche who appeared at camp right before the Battle of Manhattan. Since he was the son of the goddess of luck, there were a bunch of pre-battle missions in which he evened out the odds. He had dirty blonde hair and dark blue-green-brown eyes.

"Why are you guys here?" Luna asked.

We explained our mission to them and they understood.

"Where is my brother?" Annabeth asked.

Colin gave a sly smile and said, "Draco can't be here right now. He has prefect duties and stuff to maintain his reputation. He said he'll see you at the Feast."

They stayed a little longer and we just chatted.

After that they waved goodbye and said they would see us at the feast. They then went to see everybody else in the other compartment.

We were all about to doze off when Katie remembered that we had to change.

I think everybody agreed that these uniforms stunk.

Annabeth was glaring at her skirt so hard I think she might have burnt a hole through it.

Alessandra and Piper stopped by after everyone changed.

"Hey Girls , do you want to change that skirt?" Alessandra asked.

"We couldn't fully change the skirt but we could change it into a skort. 'Cos seriously, who can kick butt in a skirt?" Piper explained handing all the girls in our compartment a skort.

Alessandra smirked saying, "In our compartment, Clarisse almost burst a lung from protesting to wear 'that abomination' as she called it. So we came up with these and saved our eardrums in the process."

The pair waved goodbye and left.

The girls in our compartment quickly left and changed, they came back in a better mood because of the change in skirt.

What the boys had to wear: black trousers, a white button-down shirt, a grey pull-over sweater, and black formal shoes. We also had to wear our robes. When Luna, Neville, and Colin came in they had ties of different colors; these we did not have, but figured that there was a reason for that.

The girls had to wear: black or dark heather skirt, white button-down shirt, a grey pull-over sweater, knee high grey socks, and black Mary- Janes. They had to wear robes as well but also did not have any ties.

I got all of this information from Piper, who was much more fashion in-tuned.

We closed our eyes to nap the remaining fifteen minutes or so before we arrived at Hogwarts.

Ron's POV ( when Luna, Neville, and Colin were with everyone)

I was unwillingly doing patrol with Hermione. I was going a tad slow and so she was a far bit in front of me. I heard a bit of noise coming from one of the compartments. I peeked inside and I saw Luna, Neville and Colin laughing with some students I had never seen before. I ran to Hermione so we could finish the patrol and I could tell Harry about it.

Percy's POV

When we arrived, we got off the train and into carriages pulled by these haunting black horses that radiated a deathly aura. Not surprisingly, they neighed when Nico came near. He petted them before going on the carriage. They also bowed to me. As soon as we all got in, the death horses ( Nico said they were call Thestrals) started moving and the carriage headed up to Hogwarts.

We were told by the professor in green robes who looked like she swallowed a lemon, to wait until she gave the signal.

We all gathered together and stared up at these ginormous doors.

We heard talking going on behind the doors but we waited.

She gave the signal and these ginormous doors slowly opened.

All chatter instantly stilled as these doors opened.

We all lined up in formation.

As the doors became widely open, the teacher gestured for us to walk through.

Let's go out with a bang.

A/N: Phew, this chapter is done! Longest chapter I have written so far. I hope you have enjoyed it.

Due to intensive summer courses, I will not be able to post another chapter for a while. Maybe one in every two weeks if I pushed it. Sorry that you are going to have to wait again, but it couldn't be helped. Thanks for sticking by :) . Keep your fingers crossed!
