Demigods at Hogwarts

Chapter One: Another Quest

[Jason's POV]

Piper and I had been called back from LA, something about a new quest. Will and Nico were sitting next to us, and opposite us were Leo and Calypso. From what I knew, Percy and Annabeth were finishing their school day then coming in, and Frank and Hazel would be here soon. I don't see why we had to get here so fast if all were going to be doing is waiting for the time being, but it's nice to catch up with Leo, Calypso, Will and Nico.

[Annabeth's POV]

We told Chiron that we had to finish our school day and then we'd come in, and he didn't say no, because it'll be at least two and half hours before Frank and Hazel reach camp. Really, we're finishing dessert- a chocolate cake with cherry filling- before leaving. Today was a half day, and we'd been looking forward to this date for while. I finished my second piece of cake and stole a bite of Percy's. They just grinned at me, teeth black and red. I laughed at them and enjoyed the bite of cake as Percy finished up.

"They're going to ask, Annabeth." Percy said as we were walking out of the restaurant, our fingers linked messily between us. Today, they're wearing a teal skirt and a white blouse, but the only people who know that Percy is a genderfluid demiboy are Sally, Paul, Thalia, Reyna, Nico, Will, Clarisse, Chiron and I.

"And we'll explain, Percy. Chances are they'll be very understanding, and Thalia and Nico will be there. You know they'll beat anyone who says anything up." Percy looked reassured and we continued on our way to Sally's, to let her know that we were going on another quest and might not see her for some time.

"Hey mom." Percy opened the door and the smell of cookies- blue cookies, as always- greeted us. "Hey you two! What's wrong?" She set a plate of cookies in front of us, and we each took one.

"We have to go on another quest. We haven't been to camp yet so we don't know for how long or even where we're going." I explained quietly.

"Oh." Sally looked at us. "Well, both of you stay safe, and Percy? Please try not kidnap anyone this time." We all laughed at that. I still couldn't believe that the press had thought that Percy had kidnapped Grover and I.

"Don't worry, I won't." Percy promised, reaching over to hug Sally. She walked out from behind the counter and hugged us both, kissing us on the cheek. "Have fun and stay safe." Percy and I just smiled and said goodbye.

[Hazel's POV]

We arrived at Camp Half-Blood an hour ahead of schedule, to find everyone there but Percy, Annabeth and Thalia.

"Percy and Annabeth should be here soon; they're picking Thalia up on the way. A few minutes later, the three of them walked in, talking and laughing, Percy and Annabeth's hands entwined and Thalia with an arm around Percy's shoulders.

They stopped, though, when Jason asked, "Percy, what are you wearing?" I hadn't even noticed the skirt and blouse until now, and I was ready to ask the same question.

"I'm a genderfluid demiboy, which means that I'm a boy, but I'm also something else, and genderfluid is that something else. I use they/them pronouns." I stood up, and so did Piper. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Thalia tensing up, as if ready to fight if need be. But instead, Piper and I just hugged Percy because he- they are our friend and they are who they're meant to be.

"Percy, where did you get that skirt, because it's cute and I want one." Leo said. We all looked at him. "What? Your gender doesn't determine what you wear, you know." Chiron chose that moment to walk in with Clarisse. Percy, Annabeth, Thalia and Clarisse sat down next to Nico. Frank and I were across from Will and Nico.

"The twelve of you have been chosen for a special quest. You will be going to Hogwarts, a wizarding school in Scotland. Hecate will explain it to you in more detail."
