*Annabeth's POV*

I can NOT believe I am going to Hogwarts! I found an old book in the back of the library in the Athena Cabin called Hogwarts: A History. I read it and found out there are witches and wizards in England. I thought it was one of the Stolls' jokes but I guess it's real! I had been wishing it was so I was so excited to be able to actually go. I ran to my cabin and quickly explained the situation to my brother and second in command Malcom.

"Wait, so you mean it's real?" he asked me as I packed. "I thought it was a prank or something."

"Me too, but now Nico's leading a quest of 10 campers to go and I'm one of them." I got all of my siblings' attention by whistling very loudly. "Attention! I am going on a very important quest to England. Well I am gone., Malcom will be in charge and Dorothy will be second in command. I will be gone about a year if all goes according to plan. I may not be able to IM you but I am alive. You will know if I am not." There was a knock on the door.

"Hey Wise Girl, time to go!" Percy said from outside.

"Be there in a sec Seaweed Brain!" I called back. I said goodbye to my siblings.

"Say hello to Mion for me," Malcom said.

"I will," I replied and I walked out the door. On the way back to the Big House. I saw Leo and Calypso, who'd both gotten back to camp yesterday, kissing outside the Hephaestus cabin. I walked over and grabbed Leo. "Come on, Fire Boy." I said.

"Hey!" he yelled. I glared at him and he stopped. "Alright fine. Bye Cal."

"Goodbye Leo," Calypso said. And with that I dragged Leo off to the Big House.

When we got there, Hecate was telling Nico more information. She turned to all of us.

"Now, in Diagon Alley, you will get all of your school things. I will be having a certain child of Iris help you. This girl will change your robes to match your houses when you get sorted. She is a Ravenclaw who looks a lot like Annabeth here. In Diagon Alley, do NOT turn into the dark alley. That is Knockturn Alley and can knock and turn you until you're so beat up and confused that you can't think straight." Reyna looked at Nico.

"Fine," he sighed. "I promise I won't go into any dark alleyways."

"You will get all of your school supplies lists, schedules, and books in Greek so you may read them." Frank raised his hand.

"Um, I'm not dyslexic and I can's read Greek I can only speak it."

Hecate nodded. "Alright then your stuff will be in plain English. Now are you ready?" We all nodded eagerly. Hecate lead us to an old soda can that up until now I thought to be Grover's. She told us it was a portkey that would take us to a place called the Leaky Cauldron and told us to put our hands on them. All of a sudden, Will ran out and yelled for Nico.

"Nico! No Underworldey stuff! And don't forget to eat!" He accidentally kicked the soda can at the moment the portkey took off. We all were rightside up except for Will who'd gotten caught and was dangling upside down. We landed in the middle of the road but I didn't see any place called the Leaky Cauldron. Will and Nico began to argue.

"Look what you've done!" Nico screamed.

"Well, now I'm stuck here," Will said.

"Well there is a way..."

"No. No shadow traveling. Doctor's orders." Nico pouted. I turned back around and suddenly I saw a building. It was small so it was no wonder that I didn't see it before. Hecate must have been reading my thoughts because she said,

"I blessed you all while those two were arguing. So I guess that sunny boy is a part of this quest too. You all know what to do. I wish you good luck. Oh, one more thing. To get on the train to school, you're going to need to run at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10."

I stopped everyone and asked if they knew who to go to once we were all "sorted', though i had no idea what sorting was. Percy, Clarisse, and Thalia nodded. Everyone else shook their heads, besides Nico and Will who were arguing again. Nico had pulled out the death glare. "Nico? Will? Hello?" no response. I tried again, only a little louder this time. "Nico? Will?" I sighed and turned to Piper. She nodded.

"Hey, boys? Shut up." she said. Her charmspeak didn't work to make them stop talking but it did get their attention. They were still bickering but stopped once they saw that I was glaring at them. We went inside and out through the back. I tapped the right brick and we stared in amazement. The bricks started opening up.

"It's like a dam bursting," Reyna said in amazement. Thalia and Percy started cracking up for no apparent reason.

"There's a dam hole!" Percy said.

"Do you think there's a dam snack bar inside?" Thalia asked. They both were cracking up so hard that they had to lean on each other to stay standing up.

"Is there something wrong with you guys?" Jason asked, looking at his sister with genuine concern.

"Should I call a doctor?" Reyna asked.

"Nah, let them laugh it off. I've been trying to figure out that "dam" joke for years. We'll go on without them. They just won't get their supplies," Annabeth said. Hazel pretended to think, then replied,

"You two hear that? We're not putting up with that schist!" Hazel began to crack up, but not for as long as Percy and Thalia. We were already to Gringots Wizard Bank before they even began to calm down. Yes, I sent Jason to spy on them from the sky and see how long they's take to calm down. A moment later, I noticed Leo was missing.

(A/N: Cliffhanger Mua ha ha! Thanks for reading. I know I said there was gonna be a Diagon Alley scene but 1050 words and I was done. I promise that is going to be a Diagon Alley scene next chapter. Comment where you think Leo went. Bai!)
