Annabeth
I looked at Chiron eagerly after he had said that I could go and meet up with Percy in London. He was now thinking about how I would fit in with the other students since I wasn't a witch.
"This is going to be difficult Annabeth, but remember that I'm doing this only because I know how awful it is to be separated from your loved ones." Chiron said.
I nodded in excitement my mind running about a hundred miles an hour. Percy had told me in an Iris-message that I would love the architecture at Hogwarts.
Finally, Chiron sighed and said "I'll go and contact the Headmistress, Professor McGonagall, and tell her that you would be visiting. But you can't go and attend any classes, okay?"
"I don't care, all I want to do is to see Percy again." I said. Chiron smiled and nodded. "Okay. I'll be back, I need to talk to Professor McGonagall."
I waited until Chiron had rolled himself into the next room before jumping up and down in excitement. "Percy, I'm coming!" I thought.
After what felt like hours, Chiron finally came back and looked at me with a lively twinkle in his brown eyes. "The Headmistress said it is okay for you to come. And she only told me to tell you that Percy's been causing a lot of trouble at Hogwarts."
"Oh Gods, what he did now?" I asked while trying to contain my laughter. Everywhere Percy goes, trouble seems to follow him like a dog.
Chiron grimaced and said "Well, Professor McGonagall went into the Gryffindor common room and found Percy, Harry, Ron, and Hermione with four unconscious boys. Percy had beaten them all up."
I frowned. That wasn't really like Percy, he would at least talk to them before beating them. "Why did he do it?" "Percy said that they had been insulting him and Harry. Him namely for being a Slytherin and being in the Gryffindor common room."
"Percy doesn't like being pushed around." I said, smiling. "Now, can I go and get ready now?"
"Go ahead, child. But remember, you won't be there for very long. You're just visiting." I nodded and ran out of the Big House and to the Athena cabin, excited and a little bit anxious to be finally reunited with Percy at last.
------------------------------------------------------------
I waited at the top of Half Blood Hill with a backpack clutched in my hand. Chiron had told me that Hecate, the Goddess of Magic, would be there to teleport me to Hogwarts. I was getting quite impatient when there was a flash of light and the Goddess of Magic stood in front of me in all of her glory. Hecate smiled warmly at me and held out a hand. "Ready to go, Annabeth?"
"Thank you for coming." I said as I reached out and clasped the Goddess's hand. When I touched Hecate, the world suddenly dissolved right before my very eyes. I felt a tight pressure on my chest and just as quickly as it had came, it was gone.
I realized that I was sprawled out on grass in front of a giant castle. The Goddess stood beside me, smiling proudly at the castle. "Ah, Hogwarts. Wizards are very talented these days."
Hogwarts was certainly beautiful. It was so big...... and Holy Hera, I swore I saw a giant squid rise up from the lake.
I scrambled to my feet and bowed to Hecate. "Thank you for taking me here." Hecate laughed and tilted her head. "It is no problem, young child. You do want to be reunited with Perseus, yes? So go and find him." I blushed deeply as Hecate smiled before disappearing in another flash of light.
I grabbed my backpack before walking up to the giant wooden doors. I pushed them open and watched as they glided open to reveal a giant Entrance Hall. Students who were hurrying past the hall to get to their next class stopped and stared at me in confusion. They all wore long robes that reached down past their knees.
I walked into the castle, ignoring the stares and whispers as much as possible. I made my way to another giant room, which I assumed was the dining hall because of all the students sitting and eating. A woman was sitting at the front of the room wearing spectacles and had her long, gray hair in a bun.
That was probably Professor McGonagall. Even Percy could figure that out, and he's such a seaweed brain. I walked as quickly as I could past the students who stared at me once again before reaching the table the woman was at. She looked up at me and smiled thinly. "You must be Annabeth Chase."
"Yes, and you must be Professor McGonagall." I said as the woman nodded. "Indeed. Well, I think we must get you sorted, even though you are staying here for not very long."
"I know all about the houses, my mentor taught me about them before I came here." I said. Professor McGonagall nodded slowly before saying "I will do your sorting tomorrow. You came in the middle of the day."
"I'm sorry for the unpleasant timing of my arrival, Headmistress." I said politely. Professor McGonagall waved it off with a dismissive hand. "It is no problem, dear. Now, I assume you came here to see young Perseus Riddle?" I frowned at the use of his last name. It was Jackson, and it would always be Jackson to me.
"Yes. Where is he?" I asked just as four more students walked into the dining hall. My heart caught in my throat as the one in the lead caught sight of me and stopped in disbelief. His three other friends stopped right behind him. Percy stared at me for a few more moments before his face broke out into a huge smile. "ANNABETH!" He ran at me, and I smiled as he crashed into me, nearly throwing me into Professor McGonagall.
He wrapped his arms around me and I laughed and kissed him. He melted into the kiss and we stayed like that for a few more moments, just enjoying being in each other's company. Finally, we broke apart and I pulled Percy in, resting my head on his shoulder. "I missed you, seaweed brain."
"I missed you too, Wise Girl." He murmured into my hair. Someone cleared their throat behind me I gently pushed Percy away to find a wide-eyed Professor McGonagall looking at us. She composed herself before saying "If you do want to show each other how much you love each other, please do it somewhere else. You have an audience."
Percy and I blushed and we both turned to face the crowd of students in the dining room. They were all gawking at us. Percy's friends came up behind Percy and smiled at me. "You all must be Harry, Ron, and Hermione, right?" I asked. Hermione nodded and held out her hand. "And you, Annabeth. Nice to meet you." I shook her hand before she leaned in and whispered "Percy' must be a lucky guy to find someone like you."
I stared at her as she drew away, now smirking. I shook hands with Harry and Ron and Percy mused "I have to show you around, this place is amazing."
"Can we do it tomorrow after my sorting?" I asked him. Percy nodded and said "That should be the best choice."
"What house are you in?" Percy heastied before muttering "Slytheirn. Probably because of my grandfather." "What about your friends? Are they Slytherin, too?" I asked. Percy shook his head and laughed. "Nah, they're quite the opposite, actually."
Noticing my look of confusion, Harry spoke. "We're all in Gryffindor. Hermione, Ron, and I."
Ron was eyeing me and he said wistfully "You're pretty." My eyes flashed and I saw Percy glower murderously at Ron while his hand went for his pen. I stepped forwards and slapped Ron hard in the face sending him reeling back in shock. Harry and Hermione looked at me in shock as I growled "I do not need you to be flirting with me, I already have Percy. I do not need anyone else."
Ron put a hand to his cheek and looked at me in fear while Percy visibly relaxed. He grinned at me, his green eyes full with gratitude. I slipped past the stunned trio and linked arms with Percy. "Actually, I would like that tour now."
Percy smiled and kissed me on the cheek. "My pleasure, Wise Girl."
