Hecate's Blessing (PJO and HP)

3. The Meeting

Percy Jackson POV

I looked around. I was underwater, by the way. Being a son of Poseidon, I can breathe underwater. I stopped by a seahorse, a dolphin, a seaweed, and a shark. I swam to the dock, and then to the seaweed. I smiled. Seaweed Brain, Annabeth's voice said in my head. I swam to the dock and heard yelling. Oh, no, not again.

 I boosted myself up to the surface quickly, almost like a Jack-In-The-Box, and kissed Annabeth. Then I went back down. More yelling. I climbed onto the dock, completely dry. "Counselors' meeting, Seaweed Brain." She said. 

"Race ya," I added. 

"Oh, you're going down."

 I showed her a card the Stoll brothers got for me: a reverse card. She didn't have a comeback, so I started running to the Big House. Unfortunately, so did Annabeth. But I was ahead of her. I hurled open the doors and stumbled onto a chair. The chair fell down. So did I. I was receiving stares from everyone. I didn't care. I won. 

Annabeth's running turned into a jog, and she jogged to her seat as I got up and sat on my chair. Chiron's hooves thumped against the floor. Mr. D grunted, and drank a Diet Coke. 

A young adult walked into the room. She was wearing light gray sneakers and a white robe. Weird. But other than that, she was pretty. She had wavy brunette hair, and it was ginger at the bottom. 

"This" Chiron said, "is Lady Hecate." We all bowed. Hecate smiled warmly. "Annabeth. Did you read the book I put on your bed?"

 "That was you?"

"Yes. Did you read it?"

"Um... the one called 'Το βιβλίο των μάγοι'? Yes, I read it."

"Witches and wizards are real, young half-bloods." Hecate said. She let it sink in.                          

"No. Way." Someone said.

 "Dam." 

"WHAT!??!"

"My life is a lie,"

"Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously." Hecate said. "One wizard named Harry Potter-"

"Hairy Potty?" I asked. We laughed.

"Harry Potter," She corrected. "He is in danger. One wizard went bad. Very bad. Rotten-"

"Like an apple?" Hazel asked. We laughed. Wait- Hazel?  It's not a counselors' meeting after all. Then I realized it was the seven. 

"Y-no. Please stop interrupting." Hecate asked politely. 

"Awwwww!" We complained, but then nodded. 

"So he killed thousands and thousands of people and then, killed a couple. Then he attempted to kill their only child, and failed. He killed the most skilled wizards ever and couldn't kill a baby." 

"That's dumb." Jason muttered.

Hecate ignored him. "The boy's parents sacrificed themselves for their baby. He never even saw the real world that was outside his crib, and his parents couldn't bare that. Harry's family's love was more powerful than the killing charm."

"That's deep." Leo muttered. 

"The bad wizard died instead. All Harry got was a scar. A scar the shape of lightning on his forehead. But the bad wizard is back. And Harry needs protecting. So I will send nine of you-"

"Nine? This is the 7." Piper said.

Hecate smiled, and guess who walked in?

"THALIA!!!" Annabeth scrambled out of her chair and hugged Thalia.

"Nico! Hey!" I said. We shook hands. "How's it going?" He asked. "Good." I replied.

"I will bless you, and you will have magic. You are transfer students from Hecate Academy. The place you are going to is called Hogwarts."

We burst out laughing. Nico said, "Who named their school after Pig Acne?"

By now we were all rolling on the floor. Hecate frowned. "The name Hogwarts never occurred to me as funny." She shrugged. Chiron pounded his hoof against the floor. "SILENCE!!!" We all shut up, and got on our chairs. "I will send you to Hogwarts" -people giggled- "And you will learn magic. Oh, and also, I will get your report cards. So try to get good grades!" She grinned evilly. We groaned. "Oh, and Percy, I'll give copies of your report card to Sally and Poseidon." I hit my head against the table. " Summer is almost over, and then school will start. wherever you go during the other seasons, too bad, you're going to Hogwarts. Try to befriend the students. Annabeth, tell them about Hogwarts." Hecate ordered. "Yes, Lady Hecate." She said, and read Το βιβλίο των μάγοι. In English, that means 'The Book of Wizards'.
