Hecate's Blessing (PJO and HP)

6. Olympus Air

Thalia POV

"So, how are we gonna get to London?" I asked. Percy and Nico paled. "We are not going on a plane!" Percy said defensively. Nico nodded quickly. 

"Well, Percy, you have any better ideas?" Percy nodded. "Ship. Boat. Cruise. Shadow travel." He suggested. "Anything but a plane." Nico nodded. "Yeah! I can shadow travel us there. It'll be faster than by plane." Hazel turned around from the front seat. "No! Nico, we can't afford you to waste precious energy! New York to London is a long way." 

"Would you wanna go on a plane, Hazel?!!?" Nico replied. Hazel turned to me. "Nico and Percy have a point. There's to many Big Three kids here. We're not going on a plane."

 "It'll be fine." Annabeth said. "As long as Thalia and Jason are here, we're safe." Percy shook his head. "Zeus can aim, Annabeth. He can aim his bolt so it'll hit Hazel, me and Nico and not anyone else. I don't wanna risk it." Annabeth raised her eyebrow. "You've risked it before, Seaweed Br-" 

"And then I promised Zeus I'd never risk it again." Percy interrupted. I nodded. "Yeah!" 

I really don't wanna go on a plane. Do you know how high that is?!!? Percy's saved my back before I became a Huntress. I can save my own back this time. I looked at Annabeth. She nodded. She knew I was scared of heights. Only her and Percy knew. 

I yawned. "Annabeth."

"Hmm?" She looked at me.

"Umm, you're probably gonna say we have to go Olympus Air. Umm, we just... don't wanna."

Annabeth gave me a melancholy smile. "You're right, Thals, but there's no other reasonable way." I nodded. Argus tapped me a nodded towards the window. "We're here!" I announced. We thanked him, an he drove back to camp. We stood at the airport with our luggage. It was raining softly. Percy started bragging how he was completely dry as we soaked, but Annabeth nudged him and hissed that he should stop, people will notice. Percy grunted as he immediately got soaking wet.

"Ha, ha." I said. We walked to the register. "Poiós eísai?" Annabeth asked. That means 'Who are you?' The man gave us Olympus Air tickets, Percy gave him three drachmas. The man waved. We waved back. 

There was this brick wall -"Look, Jason! Which one will you marry?" Piper asked- and I saw what looked like an arch, flickering. The Mist was probably making the arch look like it's shifting into a brick wall. "Look." I pointed at the wall/arch. "C'mon!" Annabeth hissed. We followed her through the wall, and there was a beautiful, beautiful room.It was glossy white, with ivory curtains draped over the clear windows, Greek-style. Even Nico gasped. This was Olympus Air.

We got on a marble white Greek plane. It said, Álumpos Aéras. Olympus Air.

It was like a dream. Magic made the flight shorter than it was supposed to be, but even us 'Little Big Three' kids loved it. We left the plane, and looked around. London.

Everyone talked with those British accents. They didn't say their 'R's. Then we met Big Man. Or at least, that's what Percy muttered when we met Big Man. Hecate didn't tell us his name, so until we find out, Big Man will do.

Big Man took us to this place- a one-by-one broom closet compared to Olympus Air, called something like 'Lekane Thy or aluCd'. My dyslexia really won't help. "Umm... Sir? What's this place?" "The Leaky Cauldron. Says it out there."

 "Uhh... We can't read." Percy said. Big Man chuckled. "No, seriously, we're dyslexic." Big Man's face hardened. "Yeh're serious?" I nodded. "All of us. What's you're name, by the way?" 

"Hagrid. Rubeus Hagrid." Percy sighed. "Tóra den boró na ton apokaló Megalos Antras." he said. We snickered. Hagrid looked at us weirdly. Percy had said, 'Now we can't call him Big Man.' 

Hagrid told us about this pub, and everything he had told Harry. We nodded. Annabeth brought her book. She can be a nerd sometimes. We talked, and Hagrid gave us money. "So there are Nuts, Pickles, and Gallons." I said. Percy snickered. "No!" Annabeth scowled. "Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons." Hagrid nodded. He showed us how many Knuts go in a Sickle, how many Sickles go in a Galleon, stuff like that.

 I think he found us funny. He laughed at our jokes and all that. He told us about the Weasley twins. "Sounds like the Stoll brothers," Percy said. We smiled, and told Hagrid about the Stoll's. He chuckled. He ordered us rooms, girls room 12, boys 11. We waved goodbye, he said he'd come back tomorrow to shop with us and help us read the shops, because we didn't want to pay Frank. "You owe me 5 drachmas for every store I have to read" I guess he's been hanging around with Percy too much. 

We went to room 12. We all dramatically flopped onto our beds. Piper giggled. "Thalia! You look like Apollo before he makes a haiku!"

 "Meanie," I said. We laughed and fell asleep. I wonder what time it was back at camp. I bet the Stolls are watching Katie and Miranda accidentally fall through Travis' prank. I swear he loves Katie.

Okay! 853 words! (Besides the authors note)

 I'll try to post. I'm in the middle of Parcc testing. I don't know if Parcc is national, but over here in America we do Parcc. It's basically reviewing what we learned the whole year, and I HATE it. 

But, school's almost over and I'll post more in the summer. And trust me, When the demigods get sorted, the hat won't flip out or cry. That's what everyone makes the hat do, and it's getting old.

So yeah.
