Annabeth's POV

Percy and I were just relaxing on the beach at Camp Half-Blood and talking.

"I told you, I don't care!" I said between laughs.

"You sure?" He questioned, also chuckling.

"Yes, now get on with the story!"

"Okay. So there I wa---" He was interrupted by a cough from behind us.

"Chiron wants us in the big house. Something about Hecate?" Leo, who was standing a few feet away and looking uncomfortable said. We scrambled up to join him, and set off for the big house.

As we went inside, I saw that Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Nico, and Calypso were already there, each sitting around a lady and Chiron was in the back of the room. Percy, Leo, and I also sat down and the lady started to speak. "I am Hecate, goddess of magic."

We all hastily got up and bowed, then sat back down. "You have been chosen by a prophecy to come to a special school in Britain."

"Wait a second, there is another prophecy?" Leo spoke up.

Chiron answered. "Not just any prophecy, child, but another great prophecy. It goes like this:

Nine shall go to the land of magic,

If they do not succeed the consequences will be tragic.

The nine shall meet three more there,

And shall not succeed without their care."

"Yes. Your Oracle is resting, and doesn't remember the prophecy but she will make a full recovery." Hecate said impatiently. 

"So, what is this special school?" Percy asked.

Hecate's face lit up. "Many centuries ago, I was trapped by an evil titan. Four mortals were able to help me escape. I blessed them with the power of magic. After that, random mortals from around the world started showing signs of magic. The four mortals that I blessed made a school for those like them. They called it Hogwarts-"

At this, Leo started laughing. In between breaths he said, "Hog... Hogwarts... They... Named... School... That?" Percy joined him, and soon enough we were all laughing. 

"Yes, yes." Chiron started. "It must seem funny to your... less mature minds. We need you to make an alliance with the Wizarding World." 

I was the first to recover. "Wait, school of magic? How are we going to fit in? None of us have any magical abilities." I looked at Calypso guiltily, because she used to but doesn't anymore.

"I will help you with that." She said as she pulled out nine wooden sticks. Hecate tapped each of us on the chest with one of the sticks and muttered something under her breath, then handed us our stick. "These are wands. You will channel your newfound magic in them. These were specially made by a son of Hephaestus for you nine. All other wands you may in counter will have Phoenix feathers, Unicorn hairs, or a Dragon heart-string core." 

She turned to Percy. "Palm tree wood, heart of the sea core eleven inches, flexible."

She turned to Hazel. "Cypress wood, golden gem core eight inches, stiff as a board.

She turned to Frank. "Dragon tree wood, blood of a changer core ten inches, fairly flexible."

She turned to me. "Olive tree wood, owl feather core eleven and a half inches, flexible."

She turned to Jason. "Oak wood, lightning bolt core seven inches, not very flexible."

She turned to Leo. "Northern Red Oak wood, Greek fire core ten and a quarter inches, very bendable."

She turned to Piper. "Sugar Maple tree wood, golden tongue core eight inches, slightly flexible.  

She turned to Nico. "Pomegranate tree wood, shadows' shape core thirteen inches, not flexible.

Finally, she turned to Calypso. "Ogygia tree wood, wind servants' core twelve inches, flexible. Good luck to all of you!"

Suddenly we were inside of a pub. When he saw us, the bartender got up and said "Girls, go up the stairs and to the right. Boys, up the stairs and to the left."

"Sir, there must be some mistake. We-" Hazel tried

"I know who you are. Lady Hecate sent your trunks up to your room already. I'm Tom, you can call if you need anything."

"Trunks? We had no time to pack." Percy said, looking very confused.

As us girls got to our "hotel room," I noticed a note.

Hello, girls. You all are probably wanting a little background knowledge about what other people have been told you are. You are exchange students from Nimvegut's School of the Specially Gifted. You will be guided through all of your lessons by Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter. Do not reveal who you really are to anybody. All of the professors know who you are.
-Hecate

The girls all got into their separate beds and fell asleep quickly, but I stayed up a little longer. I couldn't help but thinking Why now? Is the timing of this quest  just a coincidence, or is there more to it?

Hi, guys! Did you like the first chapter? I hope you did! If the demigods are speaking in ancient greek/Latin, I will put their words in italics.
