Chapter 4:

Annabeth's PoV

Disclaimer: I'm still not either of my favorite authors, however much I wish I was and all of the characters and other book stuff still belongs to them.

When we got back to the hotel, I quickly investigated the two reported deaths.

Thanks to Deadalus, I could get onto any website, including heavily encrypted ones that are not open to the public, like the CIA database, so I had no trouble finding the doctor and polices reports.

The two bodies had no injuries or health conditions, and there was no evidence of how they died.

I checked a few other sites, but got nothing else, so I shut down the laptop and thought about something I hadn't thought of as important.

Every person that we saw today wearing the 'robes' had one other item in common.

They each had a wooden stick of various sizes, shapes and colors, (A/N wood comes in different shades of brown) hidden in the pocket of their clothing.

I joked to myself, "robes and wands, now all they need are pointed blue hats and they could be wizards!"

But at the same time; another part of my brain nagged me, saying, "You are a demigod.

Are wizards that unrealistic? Neither one exists to mortals, but you're here." I walked over to my luggage and pulled out a drachma and a flash light.

"Percy!" I called, nudging his Achilles spot. "I need you to make a mist so I can talk to Leo."

I turned on the light and set it on the desk as Percy sleepily waved his hand.

A fine stream of water floated in from the bathroom and arched itself through the beam of light, causing a rainbow to appear.

"O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering," I chanted as I tossed the coin into the rainbow, "Leo Valdez, Camp Half-Blood."

The rainbow shimmered and Leo's face came into view.

He was sitting on the dock with his arm around his girlfriend, Reyna, from the Roman camp. Next to them were Jason and Piper, Leo's best friends.

It is around 9:30 here, so back home it would be about 3:30, with the 6 hour time difference.

"Leo!" I yelled into the Iris Message, "Earth to Valdez!"

He looked at the IM next to him and said, "Hey Annabeth! How's London?"

"It's great!" I reply, "All of the architecture is incredible and it's really nice. Hey Leo, can I talk to you privately?" "Sure! No problem,"

He asked his friends if they can leave for a minute and then turns to me, "What do you need?"

"I think I found something, um, odd, and I need you to make me something. Can you build some kind of small device that Percy and I can wear that protects us from other magic?"

He looks at me, surprised, and then voices his thoughts, "So like, some kind of ring that makes the wearer immune to magic?"

I nod.

"I can do it, but I'll need a Hecate kid to help me enchant it. If you need two, that will take a little longer," he said.

"Fine," I agree, "Ask Lou Ellen to help. Tell her Annabeth needs a favor and that I'll pay her." "

Okay, so magic rings, ask Lou Ellen, tell her she'll get paid. And Annabeth?"

"Yes?" I prompt.

"When you say that she will get paid…" He asks sheepishly.

"I will pay you too, Valdez." I exclaim, irritated, "When it is done." "Cool," he replies.

"Anyway Leo; Thanks a lot. Send it with Hermes' Express Delivery Service." I slashed my hand through the IM as Percy stops the water.

This has been a long day, and I hope Leo finishes soon. I do not want to have to fight wizards without the rings. The concept of wizards, if that is what these weirdo's are, is going to be hard to get used to.

Ginny PoV:

"What do you mean, Harry has been seen walking around London!" My mother shrieked.

Sitting on the top of the stairs, I was able to hear my parents conversing with ease, even if they hadn't been shouting.

"Dumbledore assured us that he would be here later this evening and that he would be at the Dursley's until then! How could he even be so careless?"

"Molly, calm down," my father sighed. "This boy only looked like Harry. It most likely wasn't him, and we have aurors tailing him, just to be safe."

They continued to talk, but I stopped listening as I wondered what was going on. Why would Harry go parading down the streets when every Death Eater out there would be after him?

It didn't make any sense. I mean, Harry is reckless, acts without much thought, and doesn't listen to those who just want to help him, but he isn't stupid.

The door to the kitchen opens and I hear someone come in. "Bill! Dinner is in ten minutes."

I scrambled to my room as Bill started towards the stairs.

"Stop" The shout came from Fred and George's old room, and Ron, Hermione, who was visiting, and I shot into the room. There, thrashing in the bed was none other than: Harry Potter!

Hermione raced over as Ron started to shake him. Harry didn't stir at all, but suddenly, he shouted, "No!" and woke up.

He was sweating and shaken, but relaxed once he realized where he was.

Looking at his best friends, he said, "He is happy, like something big just happened. I saw," then he stopped and breathed heavily.

"It looked like he just, killed," and he stopped again, unable to finish the sentence.

"Who?" shouted Ron impatiently, "Ow! What was that for?" Hermione, who had just hit him, rolled her eyes and said to Harry softly, "You don't have to tell us."

"It looked like, me," Harry finished.

Thank you all for your patience!

I really appreciate it.

Anyway,

Ooh! Cliffhanger!

I wonder just who it was that he saw?

(Note the sarcasm there)

What do you think?

REVIEW AND I WILL UPDATE!
