Chapter 3
“You so should meet Percy Jackson.” Conner told me, I stopped in my tracks and turned around confused.
“Who?”
“Percy Jackson of course, you should have heard of him by now.”
I shook my head arms crossed, “Sorry, but no.”
Conner rolled his eyes, “Percy Jackson? Son of Poseidon?”
“Oh!” I said, “I get it now! Its one of your inside jokes, right. So you so should meet Harry Potter, you know; son of James and Lily Potter.”
Conner crossed his eyebrows. “Who?”
I rolled my eyes, “Harry Potter? The boy who lived?”
“Oh!” Conner said. “You’re just messing with me.”
I just laughed and headed off on our tour; even though I was the one who was leading it.
“So,” Conner said catching up with me. “Where are you from?”
I raised one eyebrow and looked at him. “I am from London, you know, right over that mountain; at my Wizard school, called Hogwarts.”
Conner seemed too thing this was some kind of game. “Oh, right, well, this is New York, I had no idea London was so close.”
I just rolled my eyes one more time and continued to head down the road along the cabins, the end of my robes soaked from the light snow and my wand pointing to the ground.
“So…” Conner tried again when I heard a familiar door slam.
I stopped in my tracks to the randomly Conner talking ran into me.
He fell backwards rubbing his head. “Ow! What was that for?”
He didn’t seem to notice what I was seeing.
“Bloody Hell,” I winced. “I totally forgot I wasn’t supposed to use magic.”
“What?” Conner said blankly.
I book for the pine tree with a purple dragon surrounding it… I haven’t read about it, there’s no dragon that’s purple in the Monster book.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and headed towards the bottom of the snowy hill, as I saw Chiron in horse form trot up onto the beginning of the hill.
“So Miss. Grace, we have been informed upon your act that you have used illegal magic out of school boundaries. This is your second warning; you may as well be expelled.” On of the Ministry workers said.
But I stomped my foot, “That’s not fair! You know I had to put out that fire last year on our burning apartment. You know how much money my mom would have had to pay?”
He shook his head but wrote something quickly down on his scroll with a quill.
“Now Miss. Grace, your wand please?”
I shook my head and started backing up, “Miss. Grace!” He yelled.
But I booked for the camps arch, and he started chasing after me. I jumped over the border hoping for what Chiron had told me privately would work. And it did, the worker slammed right into the force of the invisible borders around camp.
“Now,” Chiron said looked at me, his hands on his horse hips. “I can believe you.”
I smiled, the worker got up, and scrambled out of sight in shock and zoomed away in his black ministry car.
“So,” I said.
Chiron looked at me and then answered. “Your last name is Grace?”
I nodded, he pierced his eyes when something glowed above my head and he didn’t look shocked at all.
“So now, your aloud too stay at cabin one.” And he trotted off.
I looked over at cabin one and muttered to myself. “You got too be kidding me.”
Because there were lightning bolts on the door.
“So you’re a half god half wizard? That’s so awesome! I can’t believe Zeus fell for a Wizard!”
I switched my eyes at him, and he muttered quickly to himself. “Twice.”
“So now what?” Conner asked as I stepped on the stone steps of cabin one.
I looked around then sighed with my hands on my hips, “Easy, I need to speak to my best friend. Luna.”
“Loony?”
“Luna! And no, you can’t call her Loony Luna.”
He looked disappointed at that.
I put my fingers between my lips and whistled. Conner stood there waiting.
“So?”
“So stop saying so!”
He just rolled his eyes when a brown & golden owl flew down from the sky and landed on my wrist.
“Wow! Do you have Athena in you as well?”
I just rolled my eyes again, set my owl down on one of the stones steps. Wrote a quick letter with what these godlings called a… pen? I don’t remember, but I scribbled fast amazed that it didn’t need to be dipped in ink and my owl was on its way.
“So..”
I gave Conner the evil eye and he immediately shut up.
When a girl came running up the snowy hill far from where I was, she had blonde hair, tan skin, very active with stormy gray eyes. Chiron trotted over to her, then she and him followed over to us.
“So this is her?”
The girl asked, Chiron nodded.
The girl gulped and looked at me and raised her hand, “Hi, my name is Annabeth Chase.”
