Annabeth POV
When we arrived at Sally's apartment, Percy practically ran up the steps to knock on the door. Mrs. Jackson opened the door and let us in.
"Hello Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Leo, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Thalia. So Chiron told you what you are. I'm going to show you how to fit in and live in the wizard world but first you will have to buy stuff with Galleons, sickles, and knuts. We are going to Diagon alley to buy you're school supplies and other things." She said kindly
"How are we going to get there isn't it in London?" I asked
"Floo powder" she responded " or if Nico has enough energy we can shadow travel."
"I can Shadow travel but I'll be really tired." Nico stated
"Are you wanting to Nico."Sally asked him
"No." Nico said flatly
"Okay, so what you do is grab a handful of this powder,through it in the fire place and say clearly Diagon alley. Who's first?" She asked
"Me." Percy said abruptly. He grabbed a handful of floo powder threw it into the fire place. which started to glow green fire and said
"Diagon Alley" and he disappeared. Leo went, then Frank, Nico,and Jason went. I went up to the fire place grabbed a handful of powder. I threw it into the fireplace and stepped into the emerald flames and said "Diagon alley." I started flying upward and passing other fireplaces until I fell out a chimney covered in soot and cinder landing in the arms of Percy I kissed him on the cheek.
"My hero." said in a dreamy voice. Two seconds later Percy and I were breaking the fall of Thals. we all grunted and Jason and Leo helped us up as Nico was on the floor laughing. Piper was caught by Jason and hazel was caught by a grizzly bear and Percy's mom landed perfectly. We each shouldered our bags and followed Sally to Gringotts to get drachmas turned into wizarding money. when we went in there I was amazed at the architecture but i could do it better i mean it was basically all uneven but with high security. I was speechless and then..
"Wise Girl, come back to Earth." Percy said interrupting my thoughts
"I'm on Earth seaweed brain." I joked at him ."Are we going underground?"
"Yep. we should close our eyes it might help." Percy said to me because when we went with Nico to see Hades we both fell unconscious into memories of the pit of Tartarus. We both closed our eyes and held hands. Sally must of know why we were closing our eyes and just asked,
" Can I have your pouch of drachmas?" I blindly fished out my pouch and stuck it out in front if me.
"Here please leave a couple of drachmas for IMing. Thanks." I said sweetly
"Same."Percy muttered beside me his voice wavering
"Seaweed Brain are you okay." I asked finding it harder to keep my eyes closed and the memories already Flashing on the back of my eye lids. Oh No
"I'm not okay." percy stuttered
"Me neither." I barley got out before it went dark and all i saw was me floating away from Percy,me being stabbed in the shoulder. Facing the empousi. Bob helping us. Bob sacrificing himself for me and Percy. Percy gone for 8 months. His arms around Hazel and Frank anger burning in my stomach when seeing him. Him controlling poison. Running blindly through Nyx's palace. Hearing the monsters stampede behind us thinking we were demigod meat. All of this kept flashing while a heard a strong comforting voice saying,
"You're safe, It's okay, It's over, be strong, it's just a dream wake up." the last part said with more force and I felt myself waking up. When I was awake I got wrapped up in someones arms and started to cry and listening to pipers voice saying " It's okay, It's over,you're safe" I wiped my eyes still crying and looked over at Piper.
"Thank you" I said walking over to Percy's side and placing my hands on his shoulder and started talking about our underwater kiss, the time we slept in the barn on the Argo 2, having that picnic. when he finally woke up I hugged him a started crying into his shoulder. I walked out of Gringotts with Percy's arm over my shoulders protectively, I had tear marks down my cheek and i was just happy to have him next to me. We decided to read the list before we continued down the street to the stores.

First on our list was to get our wands. We headed over to Olivanders wand shop. When we opened the door an old man came to assist us with getting a wand.
"Hello my name is Mr.Olivander." He said greeting us. He measured each of us and gave us all atleast 100 wands to try before we got the right one.

Percy= Maple Wood with hair of a hippocampi, a seashell, and half a swan feather

When we payed for the wands we split up.
Group one= Me, Percy, Piper, Jason, and Leo.
Group Two= Sally, Thalia, Nico, Frank, and Hazel.
Group one went to get books while two went to get potion stuff, and were going to meet up at madame malkins robes.
When we got to Flourish and bolts I went strait to a worker,
"Do you have the required books written in ancient greek." thinking we would be able to read faster and more accurately. He nodded and pointed us towards the back of the shop. we all got there and grabbed 9 copies of each book, nine boxes of quills, nine packets of parchment, and 18 notebooks. we payed and put them in our bags and headed to the robe shop.The other group wasn't there yet so we got our black robes and winter coats fitted, then we explained what we wanted for our formal wear.
"Percy whats your formal wear?" I asked him
"Whatever you want it to be wise girl." he responded. I thought for a moment.
"What about a grey suit, with a sea-green tie. To match my sea-green ,strapless, knee-length dress?" I asked him.
"Perfect." he said and kissed me on the forehead. I blushed. I gave my order to madame Malkin and we got fitted once more. We sat there waiting for the other group after paying her for our clothes. The other group walked in with the potions stuff and started they're fittings. When we were done there we made our way to the Eeylops Owl Emporium to get a pet. When we walked in All the owls bowed their heads to me and they were saying stuff like
'Greetings your Highness'
'nice to meet you'
or even
'you are beautiful daughter of Athena.' I liked it but i already had an Owl. I helped Percy pick out a cat because the Owls didn't like him very much. He picked out a white cat with dazzling grey eyes.
"Whats her name Percy?" I asked
"Καταιγίδα" he replied
"Greek for storm. I like it." He smiled.
"What's your Owls name?"he asked.
"σοφός" I replied
" wise, it's beautiful"he smiled
Nico got a black cat and named him Shadow.
Thalia got a black cat with white on her stomach and named her Huntress.
Leo got an orange cat and named him Flame.
Frank got a black owl with blue eyes and named him Midnight.
Hazel got a grey cat and named her Jewel.
Piper got an brown owl and named her Charm.
Jason also got a brown owl and named him Lightning.
Mrs. Jackson also got a black cat and named her Marci. We left the shop and Nico volunteered to shadow travel us back to the apartment.
As soon as we got back I asked for everyone's trunk and all the supplies. I went into Mrs. Jackson's room to sort out everything. I laid down all nine cauldrons and sorted every thing. One of each book, potion ingredients, quills, parchment, and two notebooks.
I put everything nicely into everyone's Trunks. I went to the kitchen for dinner that consisted of pizza and blue chocolate cookies for dessert. After the long day everyone just fell asleep. Thalia, Hazel, Piper and my self slept in the guest bedroom. While the boys Percy, Jason, Frank, and Leo slept in Percy's room and Nico slept on the couch in the living room.
(A/N Thank you for reading I know it was long but I had a lot of ideas for their trip to Diagon alley and wanted it all in one chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. Bye!!)
