  This is fun to write and it comes so easily to me. After I introduce Harry, he'll get a point of view so it's not one-sided. Figure out the secret and win a follow or me reading and voting for all your books. Go ahead and read.

  Disclaimer: I don't own Percy, Harry or any of those amazing characters. I only own the plot and unfortunately I don't own Hogwarts.

  After being dragged away from the Weasleys, Cate grabbed the school supply list from my hands and started reading. She quickly folded up the letter and lead me to a shop that had a bunch of robes in the front windows.

  When I went shopping with my mom, I would sit down in a chair and try not to break something or die of boredom. I knew I would have to help and give my opinion while shopping here.

  Diagon Alley was a nightmare on my ADHD and I could hardly concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing. Unfortunately for me what I was supposed to be concentrating on was walking and I ended up walking right into Cate.

  I mumbled a 'sorry' I sat down in a chair waiting for whoever works here to measure me and give me some robes. After five excruciatingly long minutes, a women came over.

  She took out a wand and summoned a footstool. She told me to stand on it and the women pulled a very long robe over my head and started pinning it to the right length. After a few more minutes, the women, who was called Madam Malkin, announced that I was done and fixed five other robes to be exactly like the one I was wearing.

  After I grabbed and payed for my robes, hat and other articles of clothing, Cate pulled me aside and started grabbing some coins from the money bag she carried.

  "I want you to go to Ollivander's Wand Shop and buy a wand, while I go get the rest of your supplies." She explained giving me ten gold coins and a several smaller silver coins.

  "Where are we gonna meet?" I asked confused by the sudden change of plans. There was no plan in the beginning, but I assumed whatever was happening was unplanned by her.

  "I'll meet you with your supplies in an thirty minutes or so in your hotel room. I'll leave right afterwards to go do some business. Don't talk to strange people and stay out of trouble." She said walking off.

I shrugged and I weaved my way in and out of the crowd. I eventually reached the wand shop and I walked in to the one store that wasn't packed in fact as I looked around, I noticed there was not one person in sight.

  "Hello?" I called out uncertaintly. Why is this the one store that isn't packed? I thought to myself.

  "Hello!" An unfamiliar person called out. In the next second a man with silvery grey hair and eyes walked out from behind a shelf.

  "I'm looking for a wand." I stated.

  "No, your wand is looking for you." The man stated confidently. I wasn't sure how to reply to that, so I just stayed quiet.

  "What's your name?" He asked.

  "Percy Jackson." I answered.

  "I've heard of you. I'm Ollivander by the way. Let me see your wand arm." He said.

  "You've heard about me?" I asked confused.

  "Yes, now your wand arm." He said once again. I held out my right arm and let him measure it.

  "Finding you a wand will be a bit challenging, but I like a good challenge." Ollivander said while grabbing a stack of boxes.

  "How have you heard of me?" I asked eager for an answer.

  "Its complicated." He answered back. I sighed due to the fact no one seemed to want to give me a straight answer. He handed me a wand and instructed me to wave it around. The moment I did, a plant exploded.

  "That's the second time this week." He said looking at the plant mournfully. "Oh well, I'll fix it up later."

  After two hours of waving wands and destroying part of the shop, Ollivander gave me one final wand. When I waved it around, nothing bad happened and instead a jet of clear blue water flew from the tip of the wand. Ollivander smiled and examined the wand closely.

  "This wand is made from birch wood with a core that consists of horse hair and powdered seashell. This is a very unique wand and as long as you take care of it, it'll last you a long time. Now that'll be 9 galleons and 6 sickles." I paid for the wand and left to go to the inn.

  Once inside the room, I noticed all my school supplies on my bed and a note.

Dear Percy,
  You where taking too long, so I went ahead and left. I still need for you to get an owl, cat or toad for sending letters. Go to the shop in Diagon Alley and you'll know the store when you see it.  
  There's some money on the table by the bed, get your owl, get something to eat and rest I'll be back in two days time.

Cate

  I grabbed the money and walked once more into Diagon Alley. I walked for sometime before seeing the store Cate had described and the moment I walked in all the owls went into frenzy.

  I honestly didn't want an owl, but I doubt a cat would survive a trip from England to America. I thought about frogs, but decided it was more then likely it would get eaten by a shark.

  I looked over all the owls in the cages and I finally decided on the one owl that was behaving the least crazy. This particular owl was young with grey and white feathers and had golden intelligent looking eyes. I picked up the owl's cage and I walked over to the counter.

  I grabbed the money Cate had left me from my pockets and I looked at how much the owl would cost. I grabbed the two galleons, nine sickles and five knuts I needed. A women walked over and asked if I wanted anything else and after saying no, I paid and left with my owl.

  I decided to name the owl Blu on the way to the inn. Blu wasn't being as crazy as the other owls and I was thankful he wasn't making a scene. I went inside the inn and bought some strange looking wizard food from the pub downstairs. Blu and I bonded over a bottle of butterbeer.

  After I finished eating I went upstairs to rest. I was exhausted by the time I made it to my room and the moment I put Blu's cage up, fixed my bed, and put on some comfortable clothes, I fell asleep. Unfortunately I didn't have a dream about blue food.

  I made this chapter within one hour and I feel immensely proud of my self. I was stuck in a bank for the past hour and I was BORED out of my mind. I'm free now. Scratch that I'm stuck again.

  I have big plans for this book and I hope to get each one in. I will get Annabeth in this, but not in the way you would think.
