Percy Jackson and the School Of Witchcraft And Wizadry (PJO/HP crossover/AU)

Chapter 2: Goblins, Gold and Goods-Percy

  I'm liking how this is getting along and I'd like some feedback from y'all. Find the secret hidden in plain sight and P.M. me, no commenting I want others to find it to.

  Disclaimer: I don't own the characters and setting. All I own is the plot.

  I heard a voice calling my name and then I felt a stinging slap across my face. My eyes flew open and I noticed I was sitting in a chair outside of some ice cream shop. I saw Cate was looking at me in an irritated manner.

  "Ow." I said. "What was that for?"

  "You weren't waking up and I need to get you checked in to the inn you're staying at and get you some money for school supplies." She explained.

  "Where am I going to get money from?" I asked standing up and grabbing my bag full of clothes and miscellaneous objects.

  "The wizard bank Gringotts of course." She said like as if it was the obvious answer. I just shrugged and followed her to the inn's entrance. We walked in through an opening in a brick wall and we walked inside a dimly lit pub.

  Cate walked over to the bartender and started talking to him, while I looked around. I was distracted by all the wizards and witches walking around. Cate walked over to me and signalled me to walk up the stairs.

  I took the stairs two at a time and after waiting for Cate, I followed her to my room I would be staying in. She gave me the key and I opened the door into a dusty and grey room. I set down my bag and followed Cate back downstairs and into Diagon Alley.

  "So how do I get money?" I asked once more.

  "From Gringotts. I already told you this." She answered irked.

  "I know where, but I don't have any wizard money or British money or whatever type of money you use here." I said slightly frustrated.

  "Here in the wizarding world we use galleons, sickles, and knuts. Since you are a muggleborn you get a school loan for all your school supplies and equipment." Cate explained

  "I still don't understand most of what you just said. What's a muggle?" I asked trying to avoid running into people.

  "Non-magic folk or mortals." She answered walking towards a blindingly white building with huge bronze doors.

  Walking in I noticed a strange short green man guarding the doors and when I entered I realized that the place was full of them. I followed Cate to the very end of the giant bank and I looked around at the goblins while she talked with a goblin.

  "Percy." I turned around and looked at Cate who was looking at me. "I need you to stay here and behave."

  "Why do I have to stay here?" I asked upset that I would be bored just standing around.

  "Because the money you need is underground and I don't think that would be the best idea." Cate explained. She had a look in her eyes that seemed like she knew way more then she was letting on.

  "Why?" I asked curiously.

  "It's complicated." She answered once again. Cate disappeared with a different goblin behind a door and I walked outside to go sit on one of the benches.
