Percy POV

As I walked into Chaos's office, I noticed that he looked nervous. 

Like really nervous, as if he knew I was going to be upset with something. 

"So, where's my new mission?" I asked. 

Chaos gulped. "It's on earth, but you don't have to go to Camp Half-Blood." 

I sighed in relief. 

But then again, there was still a chance that he would make me go to Camp Jupiter and then find some excuse to send me to Camp Half-Hell. 

It read:

"It's not on Camp Jupiter either." 

I heaved a bigger sigh of relief. 

"You'll be going to a school called Hogwarts. You'll be helping them in a fight against a villain called Voldemort. Have fun."

"Cool." 

He placed some kind of letter on the table.

Chaos placed some books, a wand, my uniforms, and some other stuff, which I guessed where the things I needed. 

Chaos then proceeded to tell me that I would have to go to Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station in London to enter a train that would take me to Hogwarts. 

Timeskip

I was at King's Cross Station. 

I saw a short woman with red hair and brown eyes guiding some children into a brick wall. Surprisingly, the children seemed to go right through it. 

I decided to try this out, and it worked. 

I ended up at a magnificent station where there was a red train. A whistle blew. 

I got onto the train, ready for whatever would await me.
