The Little Big Three go to Hogwarts

The Vault (Shopping Pt. 1)

After about 10 minutes Nico began to stir.

Shooting up from the bed he was laying on Percy ran to Nico's bag and grabbed the unicorn draught.

Easing Nico in a sitting position Percy held the flask to Nico's mouth.

After a few sips Nico felt a lot better and glared at Percy for treating him like an invalid. Percy just smirked.

"C'mon Neeks, you think you're up for some shopping."

"First, don't call me Neeks. And second, I'm fine."

"Whatever you say, Neeks."

Nico growled and glared but Percy shrugged it off and walked towards the door. Nico really had no choice but to trail after him.

Percy walked down the hall a bit until he got to the next door. He knocked quite loudly in hopes to annoy Thalia.

It proved well when Thalia slammed the door open glaring in Percy's direction.

"C'mon Thals we can get our stuff now that Neeks is awake!"

"Don't call me Neeks!"

"Don't call me Thals!" Nico and Thalia shouted at the same time.

Percy rolled his eyes at his cousins and looked at Thalia expectantly.

Thalia took charge and led the boys downstairs to the bar. She quickly talked to the bartender who then led them to a wall.

He knocked on the wall a certain way and it opened up to show a big street with many people and many stores.

Thalia and Percy walked right through while Nico thanked the bartender before following his cousins.

They all marveled at the size of Diagon Alley and all the shops with things they'd never seen. Being a demigod they believed they'd seen most things but this was a whole new ballpark.

Nico had seen wizards in the Underworld but this was nothing like that.

"Well where do we start?" Percy asked.

Thalia hit him over the head.

"Ow what was that for?"

"Kelp head, weren't you listening to Chiron? We need to go to the bank first and get money from Nico's vault so we can pay for all the other stuff!"

"Oh..."

Nico rolled his eyes at Percy's obliviousness.

"Well where do we find the bank then?" Percy asked.

This time both Nico and Thalia facepalmed.

"I swear Percy..." Thalia trailed off.

"Chiron told us what the bank looked like as well, Percy," Nico explained.

"Oh."

Thalia, done with the conversation, picked a direction and went to search for the building. Nico and Percy followed behind.

After a bit of wandering around and hitting some dead ends they finally found the bank.

It was a huge building with columns that looked almost greek in the front. It was a bit lopsided and weird looking, exactly like Chiron described.

Thalia, who seemed to be taking the lead on this venture, walked inside the building with the boys having no choice but to follow her.

Inside the bank there were goblins everywhere, this took the demigods a bit by surprise but they remembered Chiron telling them that wizards had creatures that worked different jobs.
