The Adventure That Lies Ahead | PJO x HP

CHAPTER 43

Friday afternoon, Isa double-checked her backpack. She packed an extra set of clothes, drachmas, a ziplock of ambrosia, a small flask of nectar, some wizarding money just in case, and around a hundred U.S. dollars.

She was very fidgeting during classes which didn't go unnoticed by Nolan. "You alright? You're very ADHD today."

Nolan was one of the few people who knew about her disorders. The only ones who know are him, Ginny, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Dumbledore, and the professors.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Isa said and started playing with her ring and ran a hand through her hair.

During dinner, she ate a heavy but not too heavy of a meal, not knowing how long she'll be going without a meal if something goes wrong. So she wanted to eat as much as she could.

After dinner, she beckoned the trio of Gryffindors over in an empty corridor.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked, also noticing how fidgeting the girl was.

"I'm gonna be, uh, busy for the next couple of days. Continue doing the potion without me, and if I'm not here yet by the time it's brewed. Do Operation Polyjuice Potion without me."

"Where are you going" Harry frowned. "You're still spending Christmas with me right?"

"I-I'll see, but I can't make promises, and I can't tell you where I'm going."

"Okay," Harry said in defeat.

"I'm sorry," Isa said and gave him a hug. "I'll try my best though to come back by Christmas."

9:30 PM rolled around and she jumped out of her bed, picked up her backpack, and silently made her way out of their dormitory in order not to wake the sleeping girls.

Luckily, she made it to Dumbledore's office without having a run-in with Filch, Mrs Norris, or Peeves, and she made it with ten minutes to spare.

"Ah, there you are," Dumbledore said, handing her a teacup. "It leaves in ten minutes."

Isa nodded, and just as he said, ten minutes later, she felt the uncomfortable tug in her navel.

Isa landed with a thud on the snow-covered floor, making the fall much less painful.

"Isa?" She heard a familiar boy's voice call as she stood up and brushed the snow off her.

Isa looked up and a smile crept up on her face, "Percy!" She shouted as she waddled over and threw her hands around his neck and Percy happily hugged back. "It's good to see you again, bro."

"You too, sis."

"Nerd!" Isa cheered as she also threw her arms around Annabeth.

"Nice to see you too, Fish Brains."

"Pinecone Face!" Isa teased seeing Thalia in her usual all-black clothing. "I see you haven't moved on from your emo phase. Don't think you ever will, to be honest, but that's fine. You look badass in it."

"Hello, Little Mermaid," Thalia said and punched the girl lightly in her shoulder as a greeting then hugged her.

"Did you just⎼" Percy pointed to the spot where she landed and where the teacup was lying on the snow. Now that she thought about it. How was she going to get back? She'll worry about that when the time comes.

"⎼teleport?" Percy finished, his eyebrows furrowed. Isa noticed that Percy grew a lot. She had to crane her neck to look up at his eyes. She reached his shoulders. He also got more muscular, a lot tanner, and much more... mature.
