Percy shoved some of his clothes into his suitcase and dashed out of the building. Annabeth was already waiting outside holding a piece of parchment in her hand, reading the contents that were written on it.

"The syllabus is pretty long. And since we are new there, we have a lot more things to buy than just the books and stuff." Annabeth said, as Percy ran towards her carrying his luggage. 

"I still don't get how going to a different school for a year is your version of vacation." Percy said, grabbing her suitcase and backpack from her.

"It'll be fun. And, my mom said that there are no Greek monsters there." Annabeth looked up from the syllabus and gave Percy a sweet smile. She came closer to him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Come on Seaweed Brain. The others are waiting for us at the Empire State building."

Percy and Annabeth took a cab to the Empire State Building where the others; Piper, Grover, Leo, Calypso, Frank, Hazel, Reyna, Will, and Nico; were waiting for them. 

"Took you guys forever." Leo said, as Annabeth and Percy made their way through the groups of people. "We even had time to grab a bite at McDonalds."

Percy looked over at Nico who was eating chicken nuggets, looking very content. 

"I don't mind it." Nico said, with a mouth full of nuggets. 

"I'll go get a ticket to the 600th floor." Reyna gave her luggage to Calypso and ran off to the security guard. Not even 3 minutes passed before Reyna came back with a ticket. "Who wants a monster free vacation?" She grinned and gestured to the squad to follow her. 

Finding the elevator was no problem but waiting for it to be mortal free was a problem. People kept getting either in or out. After the 6th time they waited for the elevator to clear out, Calypso had enough of it. 

The next time the elevator opened up in front of them, she shoved all the people out, along with the innocent puppy who was being dragged with a leash by its very elderly owner. 

"That was really rude." Hazel pointed out, once we got into the elevator.

"Does it look like I care?" Calypso asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest and eyeing Hazel with a stern face.

"That's my mamasita!" Leo said, hugging Calypso from the side with one arm and boldly smiling. 

The squad arrived on the 600th floor, on Mount Olympus. The beautiful work of Annabeth was constructed and the ones already built standing amazingly among the gardens and rivers of the place. 

"Love your work, girly!" Piper told Annabeth while elbowing Annabeth's arm and giving sweet smiles. 

"Thanks." Annabeth beamed back at Piper and the two headed off with a nice on going conversation. 

"Want Pepsi?" 

Percy's soul almost left his body after Nico came up with a bottle of Pepsi, holding it out to him. 

"Don't you want it?" Percy asked.

"Nah, I like Coca Cola better. And Will said that he is trying to stay out from junk food."

"Oooohhhh. So the Pepsi is just NOT YOUR TYPE! Guess I'll just add Pepsi to the list of things that are NOT YOUR TYPE, up with MY NAME!"

"OH MY GODS, PERCY!" Nico stopped walking with Percy and ran behind to Will who was talking to Grover, who was nibbling on a can of Fanta.

Percy smirked and followed Annabeth and Piper into the throne room of Olympus. 

"Took you guys forever." Ares states as he came through the giant doors. The 11 other Olympians were there, even Hades. Since apparently to go to Hogwarts, they need all the 12 Olympians to use their magic.

The others followed from behind and they stood in the middle of the gods as they made a circle around them, holding out their hands. They all started to recite the following lines in Greek:

"Πάρτε την ενδεκάδα στον κόσμο της Μαγείας και της Μαγείας. Αν δεν το λένε οι Ολύμπιοι, οι έντεκα δεν θα επιστρέψουν πριν περάσει ένας χρόνος. Alley Diagon!" 

The Olympians took their time while the squad was waiting for them to finish. 

Percy and the others dissolved into the darkness, leaving the throne room and reappearing in an alley full of shops. It was a very crowded place, with barely any space to move. 

"Guys!" Grover yelled. 

Percy looked back, spotting Grover getting pushed back and back by a serge of people. His body got buried and his hand was viciously swinging from side to side. 

Annabeth hopped onto a ginger haired woman's head and jumped on a store sign to Grover's side. Just before his hand could be buried in, Annabeth grabbed his hand and pulled him up from the crowd. 

To get away from the crowd, the squad urgently entered a random shop called "Ollivander's". Percy didn't get a chance to see clearly before being dragged inside by Frank and Hazel. 

"Awwww. Grover you almost got our hopes up!" Leo put his hands on his tool belt and pulled out an MP3. The MP3 played the classic disappointed tune.

Grover rolled his eyes and looked at Annabeth. "Thanks by the way."

Annabeth laughed and punched Grover's arm. "No problem, Lord the wild."

A family of four exited the shop and a guy with white hair that kind of gave Einstein Vibes beamed when they saw them. "Have you guys gotten your wands yet?" He asked with both his eyebrows raised wide, he spoke in a British accent.

"Wands?!" Leo shouted.

"Clearly not. Come come."

The squad each took turns testing out wands and blowing up some parts of the shop.

Piper used her charm-speak on who they found out the man was Mr. Ollivander gave the wands for free.

They all came out of the shop at night with brand new wands. With the help of the only few people that were still in the alley the squad managed to get rooms for the night.

Nico and Will, Percy and Annabeth, Leo and Calypso, Hazel and Frank, Reyna and Piper, and Grover by himself; were the pairs that took each room.
