I looked around sadly at Camp Half Blood as Nico, Thalia, Hazel and I departed from the camp. Annabeth, whom was previously angry, now was crying. I reached out before giving her a bone crushing hug, also starting to feel emotional as I choked on my tears. As I looked around, I see Hazel and Nico both hugging their boyfriend as they also started to tear up. 

Pulling back, I hoarsely whispered, "I guess this is a goodbye. I'll miss you, wise girl... Next year, we'll see each other again, and after all of this, we can finally be together. I love you, wise girl."

As I finished my embarrassing proposal, Annabeth seemed for a loss of words.

"I-I also love you, seaweed brain," she stumbled. "I'll miss you too... Just say hello to Magnus for me..."

"Alright," I answered, turning around before looking back for one last time. I squished myself into the car, and as the engine started, I turned my head with one last glance before staring at my feet.

Five minutes later into the ride, we abruptly stopped before going onto an airplane into Zues' territory. Queasily, I reminded that Zues wouldn't blow up the airplane if one of his children were riding on it.

After a few minutes in silence, Thalia finally said something. 

"Alright...  it says we need to first meet up with the other demigods and one dwarf at Diagon Alley...." Thalia read from the paper. "Then we find a lady named Molly Weasley who will help us get into the train to this school where we do our mission." 

"Any idea what school we're going to?" Nico spoke coolly, his face expressionless.

"Apparently, there's this school... Holy Hera- This school is named after a pig disease, which unfortunately for all of us, we have to attend. And the guy who is directing this school, is- is... Dumb-adoor?" Thalia spoke with  mock amazement, squinting at the paper. 

Hearing those words, I promptly burst out laughing, jumping from my seat onto the ground while rolling around from laughter. As I started laughing, the laughter became infectious. Soon, we were all laughing our sides out and rolling on the ground. 

"Excuse me- do you perhaps need anything?" A teenage girl the age of perhaps seventeen asked uncomfortably, staring with confusion at us. 

Nico recovered the quickest before rasping, "No thanks. We're fine."

The girl stalked away, looking like she was still confused, before Hazel exclaimed loudly,"How could I forget! We need a plan!"

"I say we should just go with the flow like we usually do," I responded as I reclined back on my airplane chair. 

"I think he's right for once. But congratulations, Percy! You officially learned how to be a practical person!" Thalia commented with fake cheerfulness, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, playfully punching her arm.

"Oh, no you don't! Remember, we're in Zues' territory. He could blow this airplane up if he sees you being violent to me!" Thalia challenged, beckoning me to punch her again.

I slumped in defeat dramatically before looking out the window of the airplane.   At the sight of the mortal craft floating high in the sky, I felt myself become dizzy as if I'm about to puke. 

"Are we there yet?" I grunted out, looking away from the window. 

"Not long. Two hours or so left," Hazel commented nervously, shifting between her feet as a  glittering diamond the size of a flower pot emerged from no where. 

"Woah. Nice diamond you got there," Thalia interrupted, poking her head to inspect the jewel. 

I leaned back against my chair about to take a short nap when suddenly a sharp, ear-piercing scream rang through the airplane. Instantly, I drew out Riptide, ready to attack as everyone in the airplane became silent.
