Hi everybody. I really went out of my way today, sitting or an hour at the computer with the first Harry Potter book in my hand, writing!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. I am also taking paragraphs out of Harry Potter, which I also do not own.
Piper
Jason kept looking at Leo like he was a ghost. It was annoying. Piper was standing in the London Station, not exactly understanding where to go.
"Er, Lady Hestia, how do we-" but when Piper turned around, the Hearth Goddess was gone. Piper knew the word Muggles meant non-magic folk and she looked around, wondering where she'd hear such a word. She just saw a black-haired boy run towards a barrier between Platform Nine and Platform Ten. She thought he'd just run into the barrier, but to her surprise, he disappeared when he made contact, a bunch of red-headed people following him.
"Guys? We have to run through there," Piper said, grinning at the horrified expressions on their faces.
"We'll crash!" spluttered Jason, while Calypso was clutching Leo's arm so hard that Leo's face turned green. Hazel fanned herself with her hands, Nico banging his fist against his forehead. Annabeth just analyzed the barrier, a thoughtful expression in her eleven-year-old eyes.
"Let's do it!" yelled Percy, grinning, shoving his trolley in front of him. He ran to the barrier-and disappeared. Soon everyone was doing it, and only Piper was left. She was worried.
"I don't think I can do this," she whispered to herself. The barrier looked awfully solid to her. She closed her eyes, determined not to open them until the ordeal was over and done with, and ran forward, but the crash she expected never came, instead, she just kept on running, and running, and running, she opened her eyes, there were her friends, and Piper stopped.
Jason, Frank, Leo and Percy were hoisting all of their trunks into a scarlet train. Piper took her owl cage and the dog carrier and the trunk, and hoisted it all into the train. A conductor came and took it all away. All of the train's compartments were already full, except for three.
One had a brown-haired girl with sparkling brown eyes, the other had a round-faced, black-haired boy carrying a toad, and the last held a red-haired boy and a black-haired boy.
Piper watched as Annabeth, Reyna and Spanish Hazel chose the compartment with the brown-haired girl.
"Hello," she heard the brown-haired witch say. "I'm Hermione Granger. You are?" Piper wanted to choose between the round-faced boy or the redhead. But Leo, Calypso, Nico and Frank took that choice.
"I'm Neville Longbottom," the boy said thickly. "And this is my toad Trevor. You are...say your name please?" Piper shook her head, cold determination in her veins. She sat down next to the black-haired boy, and stuck out her hand, Jason and Percy following her.
"Hi," said Piper. "I'm Piper McClean. That's Percy Jackson and Jason Grace, who is my boy-my best friend." The black-haired boy regarded her with glittering green eyes.
"Hello," he said, taking her hand. "I am Harry Potter and this is Ron Weasley. Like a Pumpkin Pastie?" Piper nodded, taking in the large pile of sweets next to them. She took a bite, surprised by the delicious pumpkin flavor.
There was a knock on the compartment door and the door opened to reveal Neville, the boy with the toad, coming with Leo, Calypso, Nico and Frank. Neville looked tearful.
"Sorry," he said, "but have you seen a toad at all?"
When they shook their heads, Leo patted him on the back. "He'll turn up, I promise." Then, turning to Harry and Ron, said, "I'm Leo Valdez and the boy who's lost his toad is Neville Longbottom. That's Frank Zhang, Nico Flamenco and Calypso Titan."
"Yes," said Neville miserably. "Well, if you see him..." and they all left
"Don't know why he's so bothered," said Ron. "If I had a toad, I'd lose it as fast as I could. Mind you, I brought Scabbers, so I can't talk."
Piper stared at the rat that was snoozing on Ron's lap. Ron took out his wand, saying something about making him yellow, but Piper wasn't listening. She was shuddering inwardly, when the compartment door opened again. Neville and the others were back, but this time they had Hermione and the girls with him. They were already wearing their new Hogwarts robes.
"Has anyone seen a toad? Neville's lost one," she said. She had a bossy voice.
"We've already told him we haven't seen it," said Jason, but she wasn't listening, she was looking at the wand in Ron's hand.
"Oh, you doing magic? Let's see it," said Annabeth, a cold calculating stare in her gray eyes. Ron looked taken aback.
"Okay. Do it Ron!" yowled Percy wildly, grinning from ear to ear.
"Shut up," said Reyna and Hazel as one.
Ron cleared his throat. "Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow. Turn this stupid fat rat yellow!" He waved his wand, but nothing happened. Scabbers stayed gray and fast asleep.
"Are you sure that's a real spell?" said Hermione. "Well, it's not a very good one, is it? I've tried-" but that's when Piper zoned out, zoning back in when Hermione said, "I'm Hermione Granger, by the way, who are you?"
"Ron Weasley," said Ron.
"Harry Potter," Harry grinned.
"Percy Jackson," mumbled Percy.
"Jason Grace," muttered Jason.
"Piper McClean," Piper said brightly, remembering that Hermione was one of the girls they needed to protect.
"Leo Valdez," Leo winked cheekily.
"Frank Zhang."
"Calypso Titan."
"Nico Flamenco."
Annabeth waved her hand around, indicating Reyna and Hazel. "And we are Annabeth Chase, Hazel Flamenco and Reyna Avila Ramirez-Allerano."
Piper zoned out completely as Ron, Harry, Jason and Percy talked, and then they all went back to their compartments, and even as Draco Malfoy introduced himself and was sent running by Scabbers. Soon Piper was dressed in Hogwarts robes, following the giant of a man called Hagrid, outside a huge castle, completely terrified.
"Everyone here? You there, still got yer toad?"
Hagrid raised a gigantic fist and knocked three times on the castle door.
A/N
Pretty good! Huh? Huh? Yeah! So, put your idea in a review, since I really know where I am going, and put what you think of this into it, too!
