Well here's the next part, where they get their familiars and wands hope you enjoy.
As all ways I do not own PJO, HOO, or HP, even in my dreams
So let's go.
Hermione's POV (surprise)
I didn't believe what Harry and Ron were saying, door made out of shadows, one made out of lightening, one that was a waterfall. But then again we were wizards, so it is possible. It did take a while for them to get back. The first thing Ron said was "Bloody hell, Hermione you won't believe the exchange students' vaults, it had more gold than the rest of Gringotts."
The I decided to go talk to Annabeth she seemed the most like me, so I went up to her and asked "What is your school like?" She replied "It concentrates on survival, we learn to protect ourselves from the first time we walk through the doors."
"Where is it?"
"Due to the nature in America with the tradition of Witch hunting, and high concentration of witch hunters the less people know, the better."
"What houses do you think you will get into?"
"Houses?"
"Ravenclaw, the smart, Hufflepuff, the loyal, Gryffindor, the brave, and Slytherin, the cunning." I noticed that I said "Slytherin" with a lot of venom.
"I don't know, I just hope Percy and I are in the same house."
I was really curious to why she and Percy had to sleep in the same bed so I asked. "So, why do you and Percy have to stay in the same room?"
She suddenly turned pale, even paler than Nico, and he was part Vampire, but before she can answer we reached Eylops Owl Emporium. She looked relieved and walked in.
An old witch walked over to us and with a big smile said "so how can I help you dearies?" Percy reached into his pocket, pulled out several letters, shuffled through them and handed one to the witch.
The old witch looked confused, but took the letter, opened it, read it, and then her face lit up. I swore that her eyes looked like Galleons. She hurried to the back and brought in several cages.
She said "Whose Thalia?" Thalia stepped forward, then she continued "Per request of your… mother" Why did she sound so unsure about that? "You are getting a quail." (A/N, it is said that quails are a possible sacred bird of Artemis.) Then she handed Thalia a cage with the most beautiful, quail. Each feather shone like it was bathed in moon light.
"Next is Jason, your father requested you get an Eagle." Then she handed Jason, the most powerful, and beautiful bald eagle. Its beak was the most startling yellow, its feathers looked like snow, and it eyes looked like eyes of a warrior. The same eyes Jason and Percy had, but not as battle ridden.
"Leo, your father requested a crane." And with that she handed him a crane, it had a red patch on its head that looked like hot metal. The rest was white, with splash of black that made it look like it worked with cars.
"Piper, your mother requested a Dove." She handed Piper a dove, no words could describe how beautiful it is. Its feathers shown like diamonds, it began to sing, and its voice silenced the entire shop. Everyone looked visibly enthralled, and calmed hanging on each note.
"Annabeth, your mother requested a specific type of owl known as a Great Gray Owl." Annabeth visibly smiled as she took a giant gray owl, its eyes seemed to hold the same twinkle that an old wise man like Dumbledore has, it looked at us as if it was trying to find the easiest way to take you down. The feathers were the same startling gray as Annabeth's eyes, each feather was a different shade that Annabeth's eyes held when she was thinking.
"Frank your requested a vulture." She handed Frank a vulture with a look a look in its eyes that it wouldn't hesitate to pick your body clean if you died, it actually looked like it would kill you itself just to eat.
Nico, Hazel, your father requested for you guys to get a Raven." Nico and Hazel each picked up a raven so black that it seemed to blend into shadows, I swear that if it flew at night no one can spot it.
"Lastly Percy, your father provided this for you." She pulled out what looked like miniature Pegasus, as big as an owl. It was the same sea-green that Percy's eyes became whenever he looked at Annabeth. Percy's eyes glazed over and the expressions on his face seemed that he was having a conversation with the horse.
As we walked out I asked "So what are you guys going to name them?"
Jason answered first "Tonitrua, or Latin for thunder." As he said that thunder could be heard in the distance and he smiled.
Thalia said "Kynigos, or Greek for huntress."
Frank said "Bellum, or Latin for war."
Piper said "Eros, or Greek for love."
Hazel said "Gemma, Latin for jewel"
Leo said "Fotia, or fire in Greek"
Nico said "Nekrós, Greek for dead"
Annabeth said "Sofia, or wisdom in Greek"
Lastly Percy said "Nero, or Greek for water"
Ron said "How do you guys accept Hogwarts to allow you guys to take those animals in, they only allow, Toads, Cats, and Owls."
Annabeth answered with a twinkle in her eyes and said "that has been arranged by our parents."
As Annabeth finished we reached Olivander's, when we stepped the familiar old wizard came out and said something in another language. "Γεια σας ημίθεων, η μητέρα μου μου είπε να σας περιμένει. Το όνομά μου είναι Olivander γιος της Αθηνάς, ευλογημένη της Εκάτης, γύρισε αθάνατο να κάνει μαγικά ραβδιά για μαγικού κόσμου." (Hello Demigods, my mother told me to be expecting you. My name is Olivander son of Athena, blessed of Hecate, turned immortal to make wands for the wizarding world) the exchange students seemed to smile.
Olivander noticed the confusion on my, Harry's, and Ron's face and said "Dumbledore told me about them and how their first language is Greek, so I decided to introduce myself in their maternal tongue." Noticing the satisfied look on our faces he continued "Now then let's get you your wands."
On the desk there was nine boxes, the strange thing was none of them were like the standard Olivander wand box. They were different colors, and none of them had his name written in a fancy script writing. They went in this order, black, pink, red, red and orange, silver, gold, another black, a gray and a green.
Olivander then said "Your parents had me make these specifically for you." Picking up the first one he said "Hazel, 9 and a half inches willow, with a heart of diamond dust. Good for the summoning charm" He handed her the first black box, and told her to take it out and give it a wave. She took out her wand, it was a pale gray, and the handle was encrusted with all the jewels of the earth.
She did, and the room seemed to light up as if it was filled with jewels.
"Piper, 10 and a half inches apple wood, heart of a scared dove feather. Extremely good for Charms"
Piper took out her wand, the wand was carved with roses, up and down the entire wand, she gave her wand a wave and the room filled with the scent of roses.
"Frank, 9 inches wood from an ancient war ship, heart of bogart hair. Great for Transfiguration" Frank's wand, was carved with different animal footprints. He gave it a wave and the sound of a drum beat filled the room.
"Leo, 11 inches wood from a tree from Pompeii, heart of lava. Good for jinxes" I was bewildered as in how he had a core of lava. His wand was engraved with the image of fire. He swung it, like a maniac, and the room smelt of burning coal, and hot iron.
"Thalia, 11 and a half inches wood from cypress, heart of a golden-horned deer. Extremely good for hexes and curses" Her wand was engraved, with an image of a bow and arrow. She gave it a wave, and the room smelled like a forest.
"Jason, 12 inches a wand of Imperial Gold, heart of lightning from a very powerful lightning bolt. Great for Defensive charms" Jason took out a wand that was pure gold and seemed to radiate power it was carved with the images of lightning bolts. He gave his wand a wave, and the room seemed to fill with the smell of ozone.
"Nico, 12 inches a wand of Stygain iron, a core of pure darkness, from the darkest shadow. Great for dark magic and necromancy" His wand was pure black, but had a sheen that made it look like it was made of metal. The wand unlike the others didn't have any carvings but the pummel (part below it) was shaped like a skull. He gave it a wave, the room darkened and sounds of moans filled the room. Nico looked like that was normal noise for him, he was the only one that didn't seem scared.
"Annabeth, 12 and a half inches wand of Celeste bronze. Core of pages of the book of knowledge wrapped around the feather of a sacred owl. Great for any type of magic" Annabeth's wand was pure bronze, it was engraved with phrases of all languages one saying "Even muscle will bow down to wisdom." She gave it a wave, and the room filled with a smell that I knew all too well, the smell of a library, of books. Annabeth smiled at the smell.
"Lastly, Perseus," Percy looked upset that he said his full name "your wand was extremely difficult to make, I actually needed to ask the woman who taught me for help." He gave the exchange students a knowing look "13 inches, a handle of Atlantean steel, a shaft of an alloy made from Celeste bronze, Imperial Gold, and Stygain iron. A core made with a feather from your Pegasus, crushed coral of the oldest coral bed in existence, all wrapped in leather from the greatest Greek hero." Percy pulled out a wand, the handle looked like someone took sea water and turned it into metal, it was engraved with waves. The shaft looked like it was mainly made out of the same thing Annabeth's is, but with swirls of the same material that Nico's and Jason's wands were made out of. It radiated pure power, more so than Jason's, I could feel waves of magic roll off it, like waves crashing on the shore.
Percy gave his wand a wave and the smell of the ocean filled the room, and an ocean breeze blew through the room.
The exchange students paid for their wands and we went to get their robes. That took a bit, and again the witch mentioned their parents. So there robes weren't like normal Hogwarts robes, Jason's had slits in the back. Percy's and Annabeth's were a mixture of gray and sea green. Hazel and Nico's were pure black like their ravens. Thalia's had sets of silver in it. The witch Leo's was fire proof. Pipers had splashes of pink. Frank's was the closest to normal.
As we headed to meet Mrs. Weasley I noticed the exchange students were getting weird looks, that's when I remembered that they weren't full humans. But that didn't seem to bother them, it actually looked like they were used to being stared at strangely and it didn't bother them. I guess they were used to it being whatever they were.
I was still curious about their parents and their influence so I was about to ask what was up with their parents, I was going to easy into it by asking about their family. But Ron being the git he is just blurted out "So what the bloody hell is this thing with your parents? How the hell can they get you approved for familiars besides cats, toads, and owls? How do they have so much influence?"
Percy gave a mischievous grin and said "Our parents are extremely powerful, and if people are wise its best not to upset them."
That seemed to quell my concerns about… whatever I was wondering. What was I curious about? We walked into Flourish and Bolts, and paid for all our books and left for the burrow. We were going to head to Hogwarts on Monday. I can't wait to get back to school, and I still can't believe the wands and familiars they got, I wonder how they got Dumbledore to approve of them?
That's it for this chapter. Next is the train ride, and maybe sorting. If you want to see something or have a suggestion just put it into the reviews. Percy used the mist to make it seem like Dumbledore approved of their request for specific familiars.
Until next time.
