Hogwarts Here we Come! a percy jackson/harry potter crossover

Chapter 3

(A/N: So this is the Diagon Alley scene. There will be two parts to this: One of Harry and one of Piper.) 

*Harry's POV* 

I woke up at the Burrow on August 31st. Today was the day Hermione, Ron, and I were going to get out supplies for our repeat of 7th year. I'm just gonna call it 8th year. Just us and Ginny (along with Mrs. Weasley). 

Once we'd apparated there (we'd all officially passed out tests!) we split up. Ginny went with Mrs. Weasley to get her school robes altered while Ron, Hermione, and  went to  Flourish and Blotts. 

We stepped inside and it was immediately clear we would not have a peaceful day, or year for that matter. We were immediately accosted by Draco Malfoy. 

"Potter, Weasley" he sneered. "Granger, can I talk to you for a second?" Ron and I stared at him in shock while Hermione just crossed her arms. 

"One second, Malfoy," she said, clearly annoyed. They walked to the upper lever of the store. Ron looked at me. We followed her. 

"How many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry? I wasn't myself," Draco said. 

"I know you weren't yourself!" Hermione fired back. "The Draco I know wouldn't call me, me of all people, a mudblood. And it wasn't just once. It was repeatedly! I thought we were friends. I thought we were family." (A/N: I know, I know: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Just wait and see...😏) 

Ron and I stared at each other. 'Family?' he mouthed. I shrugged, jaw wide open.

"Mione, I was-" 

"Don't call me 'Mione! It's Hermione to you!" 

"I'm sorry. But I've told you, he would've killed me-"

"Like you couldn't have taken him without using your wand." 

"Hermione, will you let me talk?" She crossed her arms and gestured for him to keep going. I bolted out of there, and Ron followed. 

"So what do you think all that was about?" I asked him. 

"'I dunno, mate. They seem to have a history before Hogwarts. But it seems to be a good history. How would that have happened?" 

"I don't know. But I intend to find out," I said. We bought our books, plus a set for Hermione, and walked out of the shop, leaving Hermione and Draco to sort things out for themselves. Next up was a quick trip to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. But first, a quick trip to Gringotts for enough money to buy joke stuff.

When I got to the bank, I saw a boy, about my age, who'd somehow managed to climb up to the roof of the bank. Only one thing: He was on fire and he looked about ready to jump. 

(A/N: Place your guesses as to who that is before continuing... Dun Dun Dun!!!) 

*Piper's POV* 

"Attention magical people of all ages!" I heard a voice ring out. I looked up. 'Oh gods!' I thought. Standing on the roof of the bank was a boy on fire. "This boy is on fire!!!" he sang. 

"Is that-" Annabeth started. 

"I am Leo McSchizzle, total hottie and scrawny supreme! As you can see, I am on fire. And I will now fly!" He took a step toward the edge. Then he stopped. "Oh, hi Percy! Hey, Thalia! This boy is on fire and about to fly!" I turned around. Percy and Thalia elbowed their way through the crowd. Annabeth ran over to them to see what had taken them so long. I turned back to Leo. 

"Flame on!" he yelled. (Get that reference?) 

And then he jumped. I couldn't watch as he plummeted to his death, yet again. Hazel turned around. she whispered something to Frank. He nodded and reluctantly turned into a giant bird. At that moment, Jason flew over to Leo and tried to grab him. He couldn't, as Leo was on fire. He yelled something incomprehensible and Leo extinguished himself. Jason grabbed him and brought him back to Earth. Most of us sighed in relief. Clarisse just scowled like she was cheated. 

We all punched Leo (like we had when him and Calypso came back to CHB) because he did an incredibly dumb thing. Then, we carried on and got out school supplies before going back to the Leaky Cauldron for the night. We all hit the hay as soon as we got there. After all, we had a train to catch in the morning!

(A/N: Thank you for reading!! Please don't comment too much on spelling errors because I am writing on like two different computers and I can't get Grammarly on either. Please let me know what you think! Next will be a small bombshell so brace yourselves...)
