Heroes with Wands

Chapter 9

Ginny

"You sure they're here, Ginny?" Ron asked for the fiftieth time as we walked into KIng's Cross Station. "I don't see them yet."

"They'll be here, Ronald," I grumbled. "Be patient, you annoying little git. Just--,"

A scream disrupted us. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Mum, and Kingsley, who'd brought us to the station, all looked at me. I nodded, and we ran in the direction of the scream.

I saw a group of kids and a huge--lion? A satyr, one of those half-goat things, was shaking these kids who looked unconcious, and then these other kids were fighting the lion. One of which was Percy, and I recognized the other kids from my vision.

"Hey, it's got a girl under it's paws!" Ron said. I looked, and saw it was Annabeth."We've got to help her!" Kingsley pointed his wand at the lion, but I held my hand in front of it.

"Wait," I said, my eyes darting to each of them, "they'll handle it." Then there was a roar, and I looked over my shoulder. The lion disintigrated to dust. I turned back to them. "See? The bloody lot got it."

I looked back and watched them.

Percy helped Annabeth to her feet, and three of the kids joined them. One came over muttering, "Stupid lion. Could've killed it, you know. Stupid lion. What an idiot for falling for that one. Didn't it leave the coat last time, like Annabeth said?"

"I don't know why it didn't this time," Percy said. "Strange." He lifted his sword and looked at himself. He made a face and touched a bloody claw mark.

He threw it in the air and caught the handle. Impressive. I heard, "Expelliarmous!" and it flew out of his hand.

"What the Hades--,"

"Percy!" squeaked Annabeth. "Those are the kids from my dreams! The wizards! We found them!" Harry caught Percy's sword in his hand. All the kids and the satyr ran over to us.

My friends, Mum, and KIngsley pointed their wands. "Guys!" I whined. "But them down! These are the kids from my dreams. Annabeth--,"

"Ginny," Annabeth said. "We finally meet."

Mum lowered her wand. So did Kingsley, Ron, and Hermione, but Harry left his up. Percy said, "C'mon, man, gimme my sword."

"Why do you have a sword?" Harry demanded. "What, are you trying to kill someone?"

"No, save some lives," Percy replied. "I kinda need that thing. Besides--," the sword disappeared, and Percy pulled a pen out of his pocket. He uncapped it, and it turned into the sword. "It returns to me at all times."

"So you're the key to defeating Gaea," murmured Annabeth. "Wizards, Romans, and Greeks. Would've never guessed."

"And you're the key to defeating Voldemort," Hermione said. "Brilliant."

"We'd better talk," one blonde kid said. "Any place we can go?"

Kingsley led us to a room at the station and locked the door. I recognized it as the room Sirius talked privately with Harry in last year when we were getting ready to board the Hogwarts Express.

"First of all, your goddess friend Lupa said to give these to Percy Jackson and Jason Grace." Kinglsey pulled the claws from his pocket and held them out.

Percy and the blonde kid brightened. "Lupa?" the blonde kid, apparently Jason, asked. "Cool. An immortal werewolf's claw can kill a giant."

"Sweet!" Percy said.

The satyr groaned. "C'mon!" he complained. "Then I don't get to pound things with my bat!"

"Coach, cool off," one girl with braided hair said. "Don't want to make a bad impression." She turned to us. "Sorry if you saw that lion scene. Happens alot with us. I'm Piper."
