Percy's PoV

I was sparring with Jason when Annabeth ran over. "Chiron wants to see us in the Big House. " she told us before running off again. I shrugged, disarmed Jason and ran to the big house, Jason following close behind. We walked in to the REC room where we found Chiron conversing with a man with a long white beard. He looked up when he saw us come in and motioned for us to sit down. Soon seven more camper filed in to the room. They all sat down but still the meeting didn't start. "Who are we waiting for?" asked Piper, Jason's girlfriend and daughter of Aphrodite. "Frank and Hazel. " replied Chiron. "Who's the man in the Iris Message?" Asked Leo without looking up from whatever he was building. "I am Professor Dumbledore. " the man in the image told us. Just then Frank and Hazel walked in to the room. "Hi."Frank said as he pulled up chairs for himself and Hazel. "I called you here today because I have a quest for you." The old centaur started. We all groaned. I was mad because it was only two months since we fought the earth goddess, Gaea and only three days since Leo came back with Calypso."I know,I know."Chiron said "but this one shouldn't be too hard. You are going to a wizardry school in England to protect a boy named Harry Potter. "  Just then Lady Hectate appeared before us, she apparently blessed us with magic powers that we would have for the rest of our lives and she magically mad us fifteen . Literally it was like going back in time, for some people it was a little bit and others a lot. " When do we leave?" asked Hazel. "Tomorrow morning by airplane." Chiron told us. "You are to meet a man with bright red hair named Arther Weasley and go with him to their headquarters." I sighed "Chiron,you of all people should know how much I hate flying!" I exclaimed. Just then Will came in. He spotted Nico and walked over. He sat down beside him and then looked around at the rest of us.  Then he burst out laughing " Oh my Gods!" He gasped between breaths "You guys look so young!" Just then Lady Hectate who was hiding in the shadows started muttering again and slowly Will started shrinking, his appearance looking younger and younger by the second. When it was done he looked around confused. " Wait, what? Why are you guys all the same size as me all of a sudden?" He spluttered " What if it's you who's the same size as us?" I retorted. We all burst out laughing. The expression on his face was priceless I tell you. Realization dawned on his face. "Oh." Was all he said. We all burst out laughing again. Even Professor Dumbledore, who I forgot was there, let out a merry chuckle. "You had best be off to go get packed." Chiron said. I nodded and got up to leave when Chiron called me back. I sat back down at the ping pong table. "You can't let anyone know you're demigods." He told me "You are transfers from Brunner's Academy of Combat Magic. Your headmaster is Mr.D.  I have created some suitable back stories for you." Just then Professor Dumbledore spoke up "We have 6 more transfer students coming as well." He said "You forgot to mention that Chiron." He looked pointedly at the old centaur. " They are also just done with a war."  With that Chiron handed me a small book in Ancient Greek . Back stories was the title. I raced off to find Annabeth. I found her in my cabin packing her clothes into her backpack. I placed the book on my dresser and got to packing. I finally finished packing my backpack and Annabeth walked over. She grabbed the book of the dresser and I scooped up our backpacks. We were climbing Half Blood Hill and Annabeth had her nose in the book. "Back stories, cool!" exclaimed Leo. I looked over our group and noticed that Leo was the only one with a suitcase. I frowned at him. "What? I can't bring Festus?" He asked, looking at me with an innocent face. I sighed, "Fine, how heavy is he?" Leo shrugged, and gave it a try, he struggled a lot, before lifting it two inches off of the ground. I dumped our backpacks on to Leo and picked up the dragon. We waved goodbye to the rest of the campers. As I looked back, I saw Chiron in full centaur mode with his bow drawn, I waved again and then dropped back down into the car. Annabeth told us all our back stories. I zoned out for most of them, but made a point to listen to mine. We are apparently all elementalists, whatever those are. After going through the baggage drop off, and getting our boarding passes, we made our way to security. As we waited in line, I worried. "What if all of the extra weapons in our backpacks set off the metal detectors?" I asked Annabeth worriedly. "Don't worry Seaweed Brain, Celestial Bronze doesn't set off metal detectors." I still was worried, "What about imperial gold ?" Annabeth shrugged, which did not, in anyway, reassure me. The two guys in our security line, had limps, I wasn't sure if they were satyrs, or not, but then one guy sniffed the air, and then said something to the other. When I got to the front of the line, I was in front of the group, why? I don't know, but I was, the guy by the metal detector switched it off, and then waved me through. He pulled me to the side. "How many people here do you know are demigods?" I looked down the line at my friends, " All the way up until Jason, the guy with blond hair and glasses, he's the last one." We collected our stuff and headed off to our gate for boarding. We had taken so long in security that by the time we got to the gate it was time to board that infernal flying contraption. We filed on to the plane and found our seats. As soon as I sat down, I pulled out my new Panda Pillow Pet, and buckled my seat belt. I watched the flight attendant as she did the safety demonstration. Once we were in the air, I shut my eyes. I could hear Leo bouncing about in his seat, telling Jason about airplanes. I finally fell asleep, Annabeth's hand clasped in mine. When I woke up again, we were flying down over London. We rushed off of the plane as soon as it landed and raced down to the baggage claim to get Festus. Leo got my backpack again and I had to lug the bloody dragon.  We started for the man with red hair, who should be holding up a sign with our names on it. Well, Frank looked for the sign, and the rest of us looked for the man with red hair. Finally Frank pointed, "Over there." He told us. We followed him, the sign was confusing, but the man had red hair, and so did three of the kids that were with him. Two of them looked a year older than the rest of us, sixteen maybe. The rest of them were the same size as us, but only fifteen years old. The only girl had bushy brown hair, and the only not red haired boy had black hair and green eyes. "Hey Perce, " Jason whispered, nudging me with his elbow, "it's a mini you." At that moment, Leo glanced up at the people here to pick us up from what ever he was building and burst out laughing. "Perce, it's your long lost twin." He shouted, running ahead.
