Percy on a sunny day, 25 of August was sitting on top of a grassy hill, overlooking the vast strawberry fields. Apollo seemed to be in a good mood because the sky was a perfect shade of blue and there weren't any clouds. Little wisps of summer breeze blew by and the weather was perfect, not too hot or cold.

But Percy's peace and quiet were put to a halt when a glittery scroll fell from the sky and almost hit his face. His demigod reflexes thankfully were fast enough and caught it in time, when he opened the holographic scroll the first thing he saw was his best friend Jason's face. 

"Bro, come over to C.J, quick."Jason cried from the scroll.  There was no explanation whatsoever. Percy stood up and stretched, looking back at his spot on the grass wistfully, wishing his little moment of contentment lasted just a bit longer. 

He started to wonder exactly how he could get to Camp Jupiter quickly, as Jason's tone was quite urgent.  But then he spotted Nico alone, sitting by Thalia's pine tree, his eyes gazing off into the distance, looking at nothing in particular. 

Percy jogged over and sat down next to him, putting on his puppy eyes or Piper calls it, Baby Seal eyes, and pleaded. Nico saw him and his face immediately flushed.

"Nico, Please can you shadow travel me to Camp Jupiter real quick?" Percy asked, pleading. 

"Fine, you now owe me a happy meal," Nico said grudgingly his face flushing even more.

"Woo! Percy wins again."Percy cried pumping his fist into the air. 

"Humph, "Nico said his face still flushed. 

"Will's going to be mad." He muttered under his breath. 

"Welp, that boy should learn to-" Percy said, but Nico shoved him, not letting Percy finish.

"You plus, Reyna, Jason, Hazel, plus even my dad once has sent so many death threats that he's going to be mentally traumatized one day," Nico grumbled, 

"Our threats weren't enough, who knows what might happen to you!" Percy exclaimed. Nico grunted with disagreement but didn't say anything. Nico wanted to get it over with. So suddenly, Percy felt his wrist getting grabbed and himself sucked into a whirl of darkness, going so fast his face felt like it was peeling off. 

Once they were there, Nico promptly collapsed into Percy's arms and Percy had to carry him bridal style. Luckily, Nico transported them not far from the temple hill where Percy saw Jason leaning against a column at Jupiter Optimus Maximus with Hazel standing in the temple, her gold eyes unsettling. 

"Unicorn draught?" Percy mouthed, his head tilting slightly towards Nico. Hazel made an O shape with her mouth and brought about a little bottle with the stuff shimmering inside. Percy laid Nico carefully onto the ground. And Hazel rushed forward to tend towards her brother. Percy stood back up and walked towards Jason. 

"Bro!" Percy cried in unison as they rushed towards each other and were engulfed in a hug. 

"What is it?" Percy asked after they released each other, 

"Hecate came and gave us a request," Jason sadly replied,  Percy's shoulders sagged. 

"To go to her pet world and sort out some stuff and see if that world is worth keeping." 

"Why us?"Percy groaned,

"Hecate said she needed the best for the job. She said that we have to go and see things and help out." Hazel said, jutting in, 

"She made me swear on River Styx to go." Hazel cried, "But I made her swear that we can stop leave if we think they don't need it or is hopeless or something else, she also promised that the people there will not be able to understand Greek or Latin when we are speaking it and I made her swear that the wizards will not remember us at all when we leave." Percy and Jason looked at each other.

"I'll go with you," Percy said without a thought, 

"Same," Jason added. 

"We have been through that adventure together, I wouldn't let you go alone." Percy continued,

"If you negotiated for those pretty reasonable terms, I can't see why not. We stick together as comrades." Jason concluded. Hazel hugged both boys with a wide smile. 

"Best friends or Bros if you say me and Mr, Grace here," Percy said nudging Jason. 

"I think Hecate said for 4 people?" Hazel said, "Piper? She's persuasive."Jason's eyes lit up at the mention of her name.

"Yeah, that's four," Jason said happily, suddenly Nico's voice broke through their thoughts.

"I'm coming, dad has some things for me to sort out there. Because this is for dad, I won't be apart of your "Quest"," Nico revealed. Jason seemed to have a huge burden lifted off him. Percy smiled and patted Jason on the back. 

Hazel showed the piece of paper. It was written in fancy cursive which was a huge pain to read. 

To the demigods Percy, Jason, Hazel, Piper, and Nico

You will be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Your school items would be in separate trunks in Hazel's living quarters. 

Don't reveal yourself at any cost, if you do, everyone who's not a demigod will have every single memory of you erased.

Don't get too attached, your stay won't be permanent, and you will not go back out of risk.

Your choices and paths are yours to choose from, but beware, some choices cost more than others.

Good luck, fellow wizards and witches. 

Then with a faint "shrink", The letter crumbled. 

"How did she know that Nico, me, Jason, and Piper is coming?" Percy wondered, 

"Hecate knows a bit about the future, goddess of crossroads, and all," Hazel explained,

"that was quite straightforward compared to others we been through." Nico commented, "Some choices cost more than others, wow fun."

"Welp, I know what we are going to do now." Percy said with a shrug, "This is going to be a walk in the park for us, now let's see those sparkly sticks of ours!"

"My girlfriend is either psyched or angry that  I didn't tell her sooner," Jason stated with a grin.

"This is going to be really interesting,"  Hazel announced. Everyone agreed.
