Annabeth's invisibility cap, a gift from her mother, the Greek Goddess Athena, had stopped working after the war with Kronos due to whole Roman/Greek division between the goddess's personality but after winning the war with Gaea it regained it's old power.
She went to the crowd, totally invisible, while Percy, Leo and Grover pretended to look over at the train arriving at platform 10. Annabeth arrived in less than one minute. Removing her cap, she said, "We have to run into the wall.".
"Sorry?", all three of them asked simultaneously.
"We have to run into the wall.", Annabeth repeated patiently.
"I knew it! I knew that you'd really hit your head on the railing when the ship had lurched at the port.", Percy said, "Here, have some ambrosia. This will clear your head."
"I do not have a concussion, seaweed brain! I saw them doing them it! I guess there is some sort of portal between the platforms."
Leo touched the brick wall.
"Well, if it's a portal should it be something not solid at least?", he asked.
"Run to it. That might open the portal", Annabeth suggested.
"Oh, please do the honors, Chase.", Leo replied.
"Fine! I'll go ." She said angrily. Then she backed up a few paces and started running to wall.
"Hey! Look out!", Percy shouted, but Annabeth ran straight through the wall and disappeared.
Leo, Percy and Grover stood transfixed, as if waiting for the collision that did not occur. After a long time, Leo broke the silence to say, "At least now we know that everything said on April Fool's day is not a joke. Not even a prophecy. Especially not a prophecy. Come let's run into some walls."
Annabeth was waiting on the other side with her arms crossed. "Took you guys long enough.", she said.
"How can all of this be inside a cuboidal brick wall?", Percy wondered staring at the Hogwarts Express parked on the rails and the jostling crowd weaving their way to the coaches.
"It's magic, dude.", Leo said, grinning.
"Can we go back?", Grover squeaked. All three of them looked at him.
"What's the matter, Goat boy?", Percy asked.
"They smell funny.", he answered uneasily.
"You mean they're monsters?", Percy whispered, his eyes narrowing.
"No, monsters smell different. These guys smell... funny", Grover said.
"Wow, that clears everything.", Leo said clapping his hands.
"I think that's because they're not exactly mortals. They have... magic blood.", Annabeth said.
The train whistled and smoke bellowed from it's chimney. "Come on, we don't want to miss the train.", Annabeth said.
"Actually, that's exactly what I want.", Leo grumbled and the four of them made their way to the coaches.
