Demigods and Wizards [ON HIATUS]

2: Percy

I groaned and blinked the bleariness from my eyes as I woke up, morning sunlight streaming through the windows of the Poseidon Cabin. 

I turned over in bed and noticed that Annabeth was already gone. Now that we're married, Annabeth sleeps here. Even before we were married, Chiron had decided to make an exception and let Annabeth sleep in my cabin after the war ended, as it helped with the Tartarus nightmares for us to be together. Annabeth is still the Athena Cabin's head councilor though, and she spends a lot of time there.

I looked over at my clock. 11:29 am. Crap. Annabeth's gonna kill me for sleeping in late again and not getting anything done. 

I shot out of bed and was just finishing getting dressed when Annabeth came in. She didn't seem to care that I'd just woken up though, she seemed a bit on edge.

"Annabeth, is something wrong?"

"We've got a new quest."

My heart dropped, "What is it now? Can't they give us a break?"

"Chiron and I can explain when the others get here. At least this one doesn't seem as bad as the others. Do you have any drachmas, Seaweed Brain?"

I plucked one up off my dresser, "here."

"Thanks," Annabeth walked over to my repaired saltwater fountain and threw a drachma into the misty rainbow created by the light streaming through the window. "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Reyna at Camp Jupiter."

The mist shimmered and revealed Reyna working on some papers at her desk.

Annabeth called out to get her attention, "Reyna!"

Reyna looked up and spoke very quickly, likely because of the multiple espresso cups littered across her desk, "Annabeth? Hi! How have you been? Is there a particular reason you're IMing me? Is something wrong?"

"Whoa! One question at a time," Annabeth laughed, "I've been doing well. There is a reason I'm calling, I need you to get Hazel and Frank. The three of you need to get here as soon as you can. I'll go get Nico in a second and send him over to pick you guys up. I'll explain why we need you when you get here. Come straight to the Big House."

"Okay, see you soon then, Annabeth."

Annabeth swiped through the connection and turned to me, "Perce, can you find Nico and tell him to go to Camp Jupiter. Send Mrs. O'leary with him so he doesn't wear himself out, I need him to be wide awake when he gets back. Then I need you to grab Will, Tyson, Grover, and the Stolls. I'll get Leo, Calypso, Katie, and Piper. Chiron's IMing Thalia. Then we'll have everyone we need."

"Wait. That's..." I frowned and counted in my head, "Fourteen people! Sixteen including us! Are ALL of us going on a quest?"

"This quest is a bit different than the others," Annabeth replied, pecking me on the cheek and breezing out of my cabin to find the others.

Half an hour later, all sixteen of us (and Chiron) sat around the ping pong table as Chiron and Annabeth explained to the rest of us that wizards were real and needed our help. Apparently, Lady Hecate had blessed some mortals with the ability to use magic a few centuries back.

Then the gods zapped us up to Olympus to continue our discussion. Lady Hecate gave us all the ability to use wizarding magic, as well as all of the knowledge of the Wizarding World that we would need on this quest. 

Apparently, even though we weren't real wizards, spells would still affect us, just not as much as they impacted other wizards. The Unforgivable Curses, for example, would have a minimal effect. That was reassuring, at least.

"You will tell the wizards that you are exchange students from the American wizard school, Ilvermorny." Hecate explained, "If they ask what house you were in, Leo, Annabeth, and Tyson were Horned Serpents. Percy, Nico, Reyna, Thalia, and the Stolls were in Wampus.

Calypso, Hazel, and Piper were Thunderbirds. Will, Frank, Katie, and Grover were in Pukwudgie. Those fit with your personalities and should be believable if anyone should make such inquiries. However, it won't matter much since you will be sorted into Hogwarts houses upon your arrival."

"These wizards sure have strange names for things," Leo commented with a snort.

"In a moment you'll be transported to Diagon Alley, where you'll do your school shopping, although I already picked out robes for you all. Your things will be waiting in your rooms in the Leaky Cauldron."

With that, there was a flash of light and we were all transported away.
