Chapter 4
Percy's POV
It was morning. Dursleys were still sleeping on the stairs. And Hagrid was getting ready to go with us. According to Annabeth, he promised to let us meet the powerful wizard, Dumbledore. He might know what we are talking about and help us. As for Harry, he must go to Diagon Alley and buy his school supplies. But he insisted on going with us. 'Please, take me along' he begged. Hagrid hesitated but, in the end, he agreed to take him there.
They went to the Underground. Annabeth was looking around, probably interested in those old-fashioned things. Together we arrived at some strange looking pub full of people wearing cloaks. When they saw Harry, they went nuts. All of them wanted to shake hands with him, saying that he was their savior. Harry looked confused and embarrassed at the same time. After all the chaos, they got out of the Leaky Cauldron and headed to a wall behind it. "Are you okay?" asked Annabeth from Harry. Harry sighed. "it's just that... I'm really confused. Why do these people think I'm a hero? I don't even know what happened to my parents. I mean" he looked into Percy's eyes. "If they were a wizard and witch, they...they cannot die...they cannot die in a car crash, do they?" he asked. Percy put his hand on his shoulder. "You can ask Dumbledore about that" he said. "Everything is going to be okay" Annabeth added.
The moment they stepped into the Diagon Alley. They instantly forgot all their worries. Diagon Alley was amazing. Percy wished he had 8 more eyes. While he was walking, he crashed into Harry and harry crashed into another blond boy. "Hey, watch where you are going" he snapped. "It was me who crashed into him, sorry" Percy apologized. The blond snorted and walked away.
They walked into a shop. Hagrid borrowed something in pot and came back to them. "Now listen carefully. You must throw this above yourself and say "Hogwarts, Dumbledore's office". There will be a fire but don't be afraid of it. It will magically transport you to his office" he explained. "Is there no other way?" Percy asked. He was getting tired of getting teleported. "Do not worry" Hagrid said. "As long as you say your location clearly, it will be okay. Harry first" he said. Harry nervously grabbed a handful of those things. When he stepped into a fireplace, a fire roared and Harry shouted "Hogwarts, Dumbledore's office". Harry disappeared. Next was Annabeth. She confidently walked up to it and did the same. Percy nervously took it. He stepped into the fireplace. Fire roared up. There was fire everywhere. Afraid, Percy quickly shouted "Hogwarts!". Then he disappeared.
