Demigods in the Land of Magic

III

A/N: Hi there! Glad to see you here, am I surprised anyone even bothered reading? Yes but I'm glad nonetheless! Also apologize for how long its been...just recently started college!

Third POV

The demigods now having finally gotten sense of everything that was going on around them as well as having understood a bit about their task exactly didn't discuss much at breakfast but rather, they were all looking forward to exploring Diagon Alley and meeting this Albus fellow.

The rest of the breakfast passed uneventfully and soon everyone was prepared to meet this wizard who was supposed to be their guide in the Wizarding World.

It would seem that the demigods wouldn't even need to really exit the place they had been staying at, because a man that almost perfectly matched the description of this so called Albus Dumbledore was seemingly waiting for them close to the reception area of the Leaky Cauldron.

The group approached this eccentric looking man, he turned to greet them and smiled. "So you must be the ones who're transferring from Ilvermony?" His question was met with a bunch of nods. "Alright great, I assume you all had a good stay here, but now we must get all of you the prerequisites for joining Hogwarts. Here I have the required lists for you all but our most primary concern should be presently to provide all of you with wands that would function in Britain." (A/N: I'm going with the logic that wands in America are crafted differently so won't work here) 

"Oh, and I almost forgot, you probably need to visit Gringotts first, yes?" Albus looked at Annabeth expectantly, to which she simply nodded. Hecate had told them before that they'd need to visit Gringotts, the wizard bank and go to a very specific vault, vault 881. This was the Olympian vault, the one vault no one in Gringotts could ever enter without permission from the Gods. 

Finally, the demigods led by one Albus Dumbledore set out for Gringotts, it wasn't that long of a walk but judging by the silence neither the demigods nor Dumbledore were really keen on talking just yet.  

As soon as they reached the goblin at the reception, he stood up sensing that someone related to the Gods themselves was present in the room and began to walk towards Percy, he bowed mumbling "Welcome Lord Poseidon, to Gringotts, to what pleasure do I owe you?" Hearing Lord Poseidon got the attention of every single goblin staring intently at Percy.  

Percy stepped back and hesitantly explained, "I'm not Poseidon, you're confusing me with my father." This got the goblins' attention even more. "Demigod, eh? I sense the Blood of the Gods on all of you...so tell me Son of Poseidon, what are so many Demigods doing here at our establishment?" 

Now that the eyes of the other goblins were off of him, he replied a little more calmly, "We've come to visit vault 881." This was met with complete silence. "Vault 881...but that Vault is off limits to all without permission." The goblin looked shocked upon the mention of that vault. Annabeth took this moment to speak up "We've got special permission; we are allowed to enter and access vault 881 at any given moment for the duration of our stay" Annabeth then leaned forward such that only the goblin could hear "Unless you want to defy Lady Hecate's will of course" The goblin gulped at the thought. No one defied the Lady of Magic herself, no matter how brave. 

"Right this way Lords and Ladies." He gestured; Dumbledore also moved to step forward, but the goblin sharply replied, "You are not allowed to visit Vault 881, only those with permission may view its contents." 

Dumbledore looked slightly taken aback, usually he was allowed to visit nearly every place in the entirety of the Wizarding World, partly due to fear but mostly due to his reputation as one of the strongest wizards to roam this earth. Quickly composing himself, he responded "Alright, I shall await you children here." 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As they got away from Dumbledore and the goblins working and more towards the dungeon like entrance, the demigods grew uneasy. It wasn't always one of them got mistaken for a God, especially not Poseidon. Even if probably every demigod present would agree that Percy bore a very striking resemblance to Poseidon himself, perhaps more so than every other demigod resembling their respective parents, it wasn't a really good idea to attract the attention of the Gods especially when they were in the past...

The journey to this mysterious vault was entirely uneventful as well as eerily quiet. No one spoke and other than the occasional groaning of the rail tracks, there was no noise in the slightest. Within mere minutes they were stood in front of this mysterious and off limits vault, vault 881. 

As soon as they got close to the vault, the goblin that had been leading them stopped and simply said "If you really have permission to access this vault then you should be able to touch the door and it should grant you passage...if you were indeed lying about permission from the Lady herself, then I do not think even your own parents will recognize you afterwards..."

"So who's up first?" With that the goblin stepped away allowing the demigods clear passage. Everyone naturally looked towards Percy and Jason, everyone already considered both of them the leaders so it would make sense for them to take charge. What no one was sure of is which of the two would be the one to go ahead first. That decision was made easy the second the goblin spoke "Son of Poseidon, you should embark first, after all you do bear the closest resemblance a child of Poseidon has had to his father in centuries. " 

That ended the mental debate everyone was having. Percy hesitantly approached the door, hoping that Hecate hadn't just led them to their deaths...

The second Percy got close to the doors; they began shining a brilliant blue. Slowly yet surely, they slid apart with a loud groaning noise. They opened to reveal a humongous chamber, yet you couldn't see a thing about how it was built since the only thing visible in sight were Galleons...millions and millions of Galleons. It seemed as if there was infinite number of Galleons. "Hey guys, you are seeing what I'm seeing right?" Percy asked the others to no reply at all. He turned around to see the door had closed behind him. The next second he turned back, he was greeted with a shimmering image of Hecate. She spoke in a slightly annoyed tone, "Perseus, only you are allowed to enter this vault because this present vault is only accessible to children of Poseidon or Hecate due to how it was created, now better make it quick and grab whatever amount of galleons you and your friends may require. " With that the shimmering image faded, leaving behind a glimmer of mist as the only trace someone was ever there

Percy was slightly stunned to speak so all he did was nod and went for one of the bags that had magically appeared nearby and began filling it with galleons. It was seemingly enchanted to always feel weightless. After filling the bag up with who knows how many galleons, Percy made his way towards the door, which basically vanished as if it had never been there, and the second Percy left the vault the door reappeared as if it was always there. 

The second he exited, everyone's worried looks began being replaced by relief. Not every day you disappear behind a wall, and it locks itself...actually that wasn't surprising for the demigods...but they were relieved, nonetheless. Their looks of relief were then replaced as they all looked at him expectantly, to which Percy simply lifted up the bag to indicate that he had infact gotten the required galleons. 

Annabeth finally broke the silence, "Now what?" 

It was a simple enough question; however none really knew the answer, but the goblin simply spoke "Now you all leave and never return." 

That sealed the deal, the demigods all exited Gringotts, none of them really had wanted to go there in the first place. After exiting, they proceeded to get everything required until they finally approached one of the most well known shops in Diagon Alley, Ollivander's...
