Percy POV
I'm back! Anyways, after Thalia and I woke up Nico, we got dressed, ordered room service, had breakfast, and went downstairs to hail a cab. After the drive, we arrived at King's Cross Station.
"What Platform is it Thalia?" Nico asked. Thalia, who was holding the ticket replied, "9 ¾, Death Breath."
"Don't call me Death Breath, Pinecone Face. And, where in Dad's name is 9 ¾, I see 9, I see 10, where's the middle!?" Nico said in an annoyed tone, which just made Thalia angry, and they started arguing AGAIN! I saw some guy with black hair, green eyes, and round glasses, with a group of redheads. It must have been 's family.
"Excuse me, where is platform 9 ¾ ?" I asked the guy with glasses.
"Oh, uh, you need to run through the column." The guy said. He turned and ran into the column. He didn't crash, he just went right through.
"Guys, we got to go through the wall." I told Thalia and Nico.
"WHAT!" they yelled staring at me like I'd lost my marbles.
"See, I'll show you." I said, and ran toward the wall. When I opened my eyes, I was in a brand new platform filled with weirdoes wearing pointed hats and wearing wizard robes. After a sec, Talia came out of the column, then Nico.
"Come on we need to board the train." Thalia said dragging Nico and me into the train. We found an empty compartment, and Nico and Thalia resumed their favorite past time, arguing this time, it was about if Nico is emo.
"Ha your emo!"
"I AM NOT EMO!"
"YES YOU ARE"
"NO I'M NOT!"
"YES YOU ARE!"
"NO I'M-" the compartment door opened.
"Well, well, well, are favorite big three kids are here." A voice said.
"Luna!" Thalia jumped up and gave the daughter of Athena a hug.
"Hey Neville." I said to the son of Demeter.
"How ya doing Percy?"He asked.
"Good, we are on a quest, don't blow my cover." I told him sternly.
"Yes sir," Luna said, "Oh , and Nico, your brother is at the school."
"SEVVIE!" Nico yelled. See, Severus Snape was a wizard and a son of Hades, and Nico's favorite (only) brother.
"Come down. He is not on the train." Neville told him.
"Awww man." Nico pouted. Then the compartment door opened.
"Did someone just yell sevvie? And Luna, Neville, I thought you were looking for the food cart." A boy with dark hair and emerald green eyes came into our compartment. It was the boy from the station.
"Hey Harry, these are our friends from America, they're exchange students for…" Neville told Harry.
"Mt. Olympus Academy of Magic." I supplied.
"Oh," he looked us over and sat down. "Why were you yelling sevvie earlier?" he asked.
"It's short for Severus."
"Severus, oh, that's also the name of our potions professor, hate him. He's the worst professor in Hogwarts history." Harry stated. I saw Nico looking at him really angrily, he looked like he was about to bust out his sword and start slicing up Harry.
"Anyways," I intervened. "So what is happening in London?"I asked Harry.
"Not much, other than an evil wizard called Voldemort returning from the dead." Harry replied.
"Voldemort, more like Mouldywarts" Thalia muttered.
"Or Voldyfart"Nico told her.
"or Mouldy Voldy" Thalia said smiling.
"Or Mort Vouldberg" Nico said laughing.
"Or-"
"Guys, stop it." I said. Poor Harry looked aghast at what we were calling Voldemort. We rode in silence until the train stopped. We all exited the train, to see a giant man yelling "First years over hear, First years over here,"
"Excuse me we're the exchange students." I told him.
"Oh, get in yer boat." He said and started yelling for first years. I hopped into the boat, but Thalia and Nico were hesitating.
"Don't worry, I'm here nothing will happen." I told them. They gingerly got on. Once the boat started Thalia and Nico started dropping drachmas into the water and praying to Poseidon. Then this huge castle came into view. It was cool. Kids all around us were ogling at the spectacle.
Annabeth would have love to see the castle. She would have droned on and on about the architecture, until I fell asleep. I miss her.
"COOL! Sevvie lives in a castle!" Nico yelled.
"Annabeth would love this place." Thalia said. We got off the boat and trudged toward the castle. We stopped at this big pair of doors, and this old lady started talking to us. I didn't listen. We entered the doors to see this huge hall with four long tables. An old man stood up and started talking.
Then the old lady brought out a hat which started to sing! Man, these wizards got a talking the hat's song, the old lady began reading off names of the first years. The little kids ast on a stool and after a minute the hat would call out either Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin. The kid would then go sit at the cheering table. After the sorting, the old man, whose name was Dumbledore, stood up and made an announcement, "These year, I am pleased to announce that three American exchange students from Mt. Olympus Academy of Magic. They will be in fifth year and be sorted, and please treat them how you would like to be treated. The old lady called "Nico di Angelo."
Nico sat on the stool, and put the hat on. His expression turned from surprised, to amused, to pained, to scrunched up like he was going to cry. Finally, after 5 minutes the hat yelled "GRYFFINDOR!"
Nico took off the hat and walked toward the cheering table. The old lady thaen called out, "Thalia Grace." Thalia walked up to her and said, "I don't use my last name, it's just Thalia." She then sat on the stool and put the hat on her head. After a minute it yelled, "GRYFFINDOR!" Oh joy, now it's my turn!
The old lady said, "Percy Jackson," I walked up and put on the hat. After barely3 seconds, the hat shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" I walked toward the table Nico and Thalia were sitting at and sat beside them.
Food materialized onto the table, and Dumbledore said to eat. Thalia Nico, and I heaped food onto our plates. What about sacrifices? I looked at Thalia and Nico, they realized as well. Thalia walked up to Dumbledore and talked for a minute; Dumbledore smiled and waved his wand. A giant fire appeared next to our table. Nico and I stood up and sacrificed our food with Thalia. "For Poseidon," I said as I scraped the best part of my dinner into the fire. Thalia and Nico sacrificed to Zeus and Hades.
A redhead who was sitting next to Harry stared at us, like we were committing a felony. Idiot. We ate our dinner and exited the Great Hall.
