Late August, before HP 5th year (same day as chapter 2)
The campers of Camp Half-Blood were still in celebration mode, weeks after Gaia's defeat. Chiron, the Activities Director, declared that (temporarily) mandatory training would last for half-a-day. The other time would be for relaxation or other leisure activities. To all campers this was like a vacation. Unfortunately, vacation time for some was to be cut short.
Dionysius, the god of wine and Camp Director, summoned four demigods for a special assignment. Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon), Nico di Angelo (son of Hades), Lou Ellen (daughter of Hecate) and Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena) were called to the Big House. Dionysius (preferably Mr. D) was NOT happy being back at Camp and he had no intention of hiding it.
"Just sit and listen up," Mr. D said coldly. He snapped his fingers and a slide show presentation appeared mid-air in front of the campers. "You four are gonna be sent on a mandatory quest to Scotland." The image of a large, ancient castle appeared.
Lou's purple eyes widened. "That's Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!" Both Percy and Nico snickered when they heard 'Hogwarts' but did not comment. Annabeth remained silent as she stared at the image of the castle, admiring the architecture.
"Yes, Louise, it is," said Mr. D. As usual, he called the wrong name on purpose. "Basically, you're going in under cover as students. Your ultimate goal is to help defeat this guy." The slide changed to a grotesque looking man with a bald head, snake-like nose and red eyes.
"That's Lord Voldemort. My mother once told me he died years ago," said Lou.
"Yeah well, he's back," said Mr. D.
"So, exactly why the four of us were chosen?" Nico spoke up.
Mr. D replied, "Because I hate you four the most and there's a good possibility that one of you will die."
"Oh, wow. This is such a great honor," said Percy sarcastically.
"If I may ask, Sir, how did Voldemort come back?" asked Lou Ellen.
"In June he was brought back by a powerful potion and spell. Of course, the unguarded Doors of Death helped," answered Mr. D. He snapped his fingers and the slide show vanished. Getting up to leave he said, "Let Louise finish explaining things. I'm leaving."
Just as Mr. D left, Chiron entered the room. Tucked under his left arm were four slim boxes.
"Good day, heroes," he greeted while resting the boxes in front of them on the ping pong table. He eyed each camper carefully. "Inside of these boxes are wands, one for each of you. Percy, Nico and Annabeth, your wands were specially crafted and blessed by Hecate, the goddess of magic. Lou, although you do not require a wand to use your magic it's best that you use one. Witches as young as you aren't overly well versed in wandless magic."
Chiron passed the appropriate box to the right demigod. The teenagers opened the boxes and surveyed the sticks. Similarly to their normal weapons, the wands felt like a perfect fit in their hands.
"The train for Hogwarts leaves on the 1st of September at 11:00 am sharp. You'll have to go to King Cross Station in London and find Platform Nine and Three Quarters," Chiron instructed.
"But what about things like school supplies?" asked Annabeth.
"Not to worry, there is another camper here that attends Hogwarts. She offered to gather the necessary supplies for you." The demigods' eyes widened.
Annabeth asked, "Do we know this camper?"
"You, probably not very well but Lou should. She stays in her cabin," replied Chiron. "She's normally just a summer camper and tries not to stand out too much."
Annabeth nodded her head with realization. "Oh, yes. Sally-Anne Perks. She was a part of the Hermes cabin.
Chiron nodded 'yes'. "Lou Ellen can tell you more about her."
A conch shell was blown outside, signaling that it was time for dinner. The group joined everyone else heading to the dining pavilion.
"I'll tell you guys more about this wizarding business later," Lou said before they split up.

The Next Day
Just before sunrise, Sally-Anne Perks shadow traveled into her cabin at Camp Half-blood. Her sudden appearance frightened the only other occupant of the room who woke up early to read.
"What the Hades, Sally?" screeched Lou Ellen.
"Sorry, Lou." Sally collapsed onto her bunk and Lou gave her a concerned look. "Don't worry. I'm just a little tired from traveling."
"I can't believe that I finally get to go to Hogwarts! I got an acceptance letter, but Dad wasn't comfortable sending me to Europe."
"Well, he should've. The school's barriers are good at masking our scent from monsters."
"So, what years are we going to be in?"
"You guys will be sorted with the first years. You and Nico will be 4th years with Luna. Percy and Annabeth will be 5th years with me and Draco."
"Luna and Draco? Are they those Hogwarts demigods you mentioned before?"
Yawning, Sally replied, "Yep."
Outside the conch was blown.
"Breakfast time," Lou said while getting up. "You going?"
Sally snuggled under her covers. "No, I need to rest. I'm supposed to take the four of you to England tonight."
"Tonight!"
"Yes, tonight. So, tell the others. We leave at sundown."
