hello! Hoping for more reviews. Now, I have answered my own question without even thinking. I like Percy Jackson better. Harry Potter was my favorite series before I discovered PJ. Notice what my pen name is. It means, Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus=life. So far with the pj/hp question.
Pj=2
Hp=1

Chapter 7
Thalia
As dear Malfoy arrived, I smirked silently in my head. The little boy who thinks he's so awesome was going to pay for being a bullying git to Harry and his friends.
He extended his hand to Percy, ready to shake. I felt a surge of anger rush to me. Malfoy was trying to make us his friends. I highly think that unwise, especially since Malfoy hates Harry Potter, and we're Harry's friends.
"Draco Malfoy," he said smugly.
Percy didn't shake. Instead, he said, "um, don't you hate Harry?"
"Yes, why? You could come with us, my father's very rich."
So he did brag about his father.
"Thanks, but no thanks," Annabeth interrupted.
Malfoy got a dirty look on his face. "Well, don't come running to me when the ministry comes hunting down mudbloods like her." He nodded towards Hermione. I'll be dogging in your footsteps."
Harry and Hermione looked at each other, horrified for some reason. Then I realized something. He had probably seen Sirius! If Draco knew who he was...
I shook it off. Then, Chiron's voice came to me, telling me not to 'blow' my cover.
I did just that, though I'm quite sure the idiot didn't know I was actually calling on the power of Zeus.
Before I got to do that, though, Percy raised his wand. "Aquamenti!"
Hermione had taught him to say that whenever he was summoning water right in front of wizards. A blast of water jutted out and hit Malfoy in the face. Then, the water gathered around so it had him soaking wet, but Percy let him live. His face wasn't covered. He probably didn't want to actually kill him. He glanced at me.
"Fly?"
"Wingardium leviosa!" I shrieked.
Malfoy flew straight up, still surrounded with water, but then I used the winds to whisk him to the end of the corridor, landing hard on his, ah, backside. Percy made the water leave him, but instead turning into a hand to make rude gestures.
Oh yes, I like it when kids like him falls because of me. Yep, I literally blew my cover, and I liked it.
Draco rose with a murderous expression on his stupid face, but he knew how powerful we were. If a simple flying spell let him blow away, the other spells could be much more powerful since they were so much easier for us. Even the real spells were easy to do, even if we'd never done them before.
He ran away, tripped, and started running again. He kept tripping. That's when I noticed Percy was whispering, "trip, trip, trip," every time he got up. Finally, he stopped doing the trip spell and just started laughing. Good thing Malfoy didn't hear him saying "trip, trip, trip!" He would've thought the language was a little weird.
"Good one," Ron said, delighted. "Remind me to have one of you guys next time he comes, will ya?"
Percy grinned and bowed. "Percy Jackson, at your service," he said.
Annabeth slapped his face. "Ow!" he said.
Annabeth merely smiled.
Percy stuck his tongue out at everybody...including Annabeth, who smacked him again. Percy pouted, but he knew the reason this time and didn't argue. Bad choice, huh?
"Anyway," I said, glaring at Percy and Annabeth. "We would be delighted to help you get rid of that...git."
I realized 'git' wasn't a strong enough insult, but I let it go. Oh gods, Frozen was getting to me. I let my anger out on Leo because he sung it practically everyday.
"Ow!" Leo protested, rubbing his face. "What was that for?"
"For singing 'Let It Go' all the time!"
"Let it go! Let it go!"
A few seconds later, Leo was lying on the ground, panting. "All right, whatever you say, your majesty," he grumbled. "I'm sorry, all right?"
I nodded, satisfied. Leo started to get up, relieved, and I narrowed her eyes. "You're not off the hook, boy! I'm still considering bashing your head to bits."
His eyes widened. Then he ran out of our compartment, yelling, "checking on Fred and George!" All this time, the wizards were gaping silently.
I smirked this time. Then I turned to the wizards. "So, how longer till we're there?"
"Er...about four hours," Ginny said, unfrozen.
Percy dropped his pen, which he had been holding and twirling in his fingers.
"Four...hours?" he croaked hoarsely. He looked at us, terror shown on his face. I understood his concern. Demigods like us have ADHD, and Leo's was even worse. We would never survive four hours without more excitement.
If only I was out with the hunters. Even being frozen in an ice block was better than just sitting here. Seriously! If there was one way in the Fields of Punishment to punish demigods, it was not letting them move...for eternality, more eternality, and more eternality.
Fred poked his head in. "Exploding snap for anyone? We're starting a game over here!"
Percy immediately jumped up, ad so did Jason, Frank, and Annabeth. "I need to do something! And that includes exploding cards!" she said. Piper shrugged. "What the heck, I'll go too," she said.
Piper is really strong, in fact so strong that I had asked her to join the hunters. She refused, probably because of my baby brother...even though he's older than me now. I didn't like to think about it that way. Well technically, I'm about 20 right now, with the tree thing and all.
Nico started to pace around the room, muttering under his breath. I didn't know what he was saying, and I liked it that way. The exploding snap players had already left, and a few minutes later, I heard explosions...somewhere in the train. Finally, after almost half an hour, I grew so impatient that I went to join them.
"Thalia! Come on! This type of stuff is just fit for us half...uh, half...impatient people," Percy said. I shook my head. Lee was there, and luckily there was a huge explosion just when Percy said "half."
I knelt down. I picked up a card and screamed when it exploded in my hands. "Lovely!" Jason exclaimed. "You're a pro!"
I squinted at the ashes in my hand.
Over the next hour and a half, I discovered this game was actually kind of fun. We laughed, screamed, and crushed each other's card buildings.
George glanced at his watch. "Two more hours," he said. "Maybe you guys should go get ready to pack."
"Yeah," Fred chimed in. "We know from experience you are going to need the extra time."
I glared at both of them, but Annabeth put her hand on my shoulder. "Come on, Thalia. First time putting on robes, should take some time."
She was right. Leo had already paled from the idea of putting on those incredibly-hard-to-put-on robes.
We went back to the compartment. Hazel had already taken out her robes. Turning to Hermione, she asked. "How in the world am I supposed to put this on?"
Great. She doesn't know either. Hermione put down her book, marking her page. Then she went on a long lecture about putting on robes. Harry and Ron rolled their eyes.
Finally, after too long, we finally discovered that it actually was possible to put on Hogwarts(snicker, snicker) clothes.
Heck, Percy even complained that it was worse than Mission Impossible in Camp Half-Blood. We were supposed to scale the lava wall, fight a bunch of automatons, and then do long jumps over holes in the ground. Most people fall in the holes, sadly. What made it really impossible? We had to do all that in 20 minutes. Percy had only done it once, and that was when Annabeth threatened him with no pancakes for the rest of his life.
Ron poked his head out. "Oi!" he shouted at a small boy. "No running, Colin!"
Colin glanced at him, shrugged, and started to walk. A second later, a boy who looked very like him joined him, ad they entered a room.
Ron shook his head. "Creevys brothers. Guys, we're almost there. 40 minutes or so. Get extra stuff in your bags, get ready." Suddenly, his eyes opened wide. "Give me that card! Agrippa's one of the only ones I don't have!" he shouted at Leo.
Leo blinked, passing the Chocolate Frog card to Ron.
Percy looked at a blue every-flavored bean he had taken from his pack. "What's this?" he asked. Harry examined it carefully. "Probably blueberry," he stated, still looking at it.
Percy shrugged. "As long as it's blue, I'm okay with it." He popped it in his mouth. Suddenly, he winced.
He whispered something in Annabeth's ear. I caught a few things:blue, mom, cookie, and Iris-message.
I cocked my head towards Annabeth, and she smiled once at me. "Uh, Percy and I are...going somewhere. Guys, keep Leo from exploding, will you?" Piper smiled and nodded at her. "Count on us."
They left the room. Hazel looked at Percy, concerned. I walked out after them, catching them enter Fred and George's compartment.
I went in after them, seeing that Lee wasn't here anymore. Annabeth glanced at me and grinned. "Homesick," she mouthed.
Percy was summoning some mist, then putting it up next to the shining sun outside. A rainbow had appeared. He fished in his pocket for moment, then dug out a golden drachma. He threw it in he rainbow, then said, "Sally Jackson. Upper East side, Manhattan."
Percy's mom appeared in the rainbow. As soon as she saw her son, she dropped something that she was holding and gasped. She almost charged into the rainbow, then seemed to remind herself that it would break the connection. "Oh, Percy! Where are you? Are you all right? Is Annabeth all right? Tell me about Gaea!"
I grimaced. Percy hadn't called his mom for a long time. Sally must've been worried out of her mind, even though Percy had told her he was going on a quest. If anything, it had made her worry even more.
"Um, I'm on a quest...a really easy quest...to go to this wizard school in London. Call Chiron or something, we don't have good signal on a train moving at about a thousand miles per hour...or something."
His mom laughed. "Oh, I'm just glad you're safe!" Percy smiled. "Well, hope that we stay safe, huh? I would hate to see my handsome face covered with owl feathers."
Annabeth laughed. "Don't think that's not out of my head now, Seaweed Brain. , don't worry, Percy is only in danger of us killing him, as of today. Somehow, I think this train is a little fast for those monsters to keep up." Sally nodded, grinning a little, and waved her hand through the connection.
Suddenly, I spotted something outside. It was an owl. I opened the window and snatched it out of the air. It squawked at me, and I blinked. Annabeth, however, gasped. "There's a letter! From Chiron!"
I examined the little owl's foot. Indeed, there was a little parchment on the little claw. I untied it, then unrolled the letter. The owl hooted happily. "I sincerely hope you are on the train right now," I read. "Make sure you hae all of your equipment as you enter the school. If not, Dumbledore will have extras. Also, remind Thalia-me-to control the mist when you use magic without wands, and also when you just say a command, not using the proper wizard spells, as we do not wish for them to see that our spells are completely different from theirs. You can give this owl to someone else. Sincerely, Chiron."
Percy cocked his head. "So who wants this?" he asked. "Jason? Piper? You?"
I shrugged. "I guess me and Jason and the others can share it as a pet. You don't need one, really. You just have to jump in to the lake when you're bored.
His eyes widened. "There's a lake? Why didn't you tell me?"
Annabeth punched him. "Were you even listening to Hermione? She told us there was a lake there!"
Percy shook his head. Luckily for him, the twins had checked their watches and told us to get ready to get off, like, now. Or else maybe Percy would have gotten a free head piercing, preferably from me. Ah, well, whatever.
I rolled my eyes as I walked back to our compartment, where all of the luggage were. Annabeth came in next, the owl perched on her shoulder. Hedwig hooted softly. The other owl hooted back. We found a spare cage somehow and put the new owl in.
Ron and Hermione turned to us. "We have to supervise getting off, so...see you guys later?" asked Ron. Harry nodded as they left the room. Then he turned to us. "Let's get going, now."
Luna folded her magazine up and put it carefully in her bag. There was a woman saying, "first years over here, please!" Somehow, Ron, Harry, ad the others looked worried about something.
Luna offered to carry Pig, and we let her. Finally, the train halted to a stop. We exited, all of us lugging our bags behind. As we went out of the train, we were loaded on to some carts or wagon thingys with black horses with wings strapped to them.
They were kind of like Pegasi, or maybe they were Pegasi. As we got in the carts, Ron and Hermione joined us. "So what do reckon those horse things are?" asked Harry. Ron blinked. "What horse things?" I looked at him. Was he faking?"
"Those! The ones pulling the wagons!" If anything, Ron looked more confused. "Nothing's pulling the carts, it's moving on it's own!"
Every demigod-plus Harry-looked confused that Ron was confused... which confused me.
We decided not to think more about that.
Then, after a few minutes, we arrived at a castle. A huge castle, just like the ones in children's fairytales. Annabeth's mouth dropped open.
Hogwarts, sweet Hogwarts.
