12-Hogsmeade Part 1

DISCLAIMER - I do not own anything except for the plot, Drew, Dawn, Wilby, and another character that's going to pop up sometime in the future......though not alive muhahahahaha


Leo's POV

I used my super-cool wand and made a rainbow in the demigods' dorms. I think I'm going to make a sign somewhere. Demigod Dorms. Yeah that would look cool. Too bad if I'm going to use the word "demigod" I'd have to put it inside, otherwise I'd blow our cover.

"O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering." I threw in Jason's drachma, "Calypso at Camp Half-Blood."

The mist shimmered, and the most beautiful girl in the world appeared.

"Hey Calypso!" I said happily.

She looked up from the strawberries. She was gardening with the Demeter kids. "Leo," she said, "I am quite sure that you have no need to IM me every hour." But the corners of her mouth were twitching.

"I miss youu," I said, giving her my irresistable McShizzle smile.

"I miss you too," Calypso said, smiling now. "I sent some of my cookies to Hogwarts. Should arrive sometime the next day."

"YAY AND RAINBOWS AND HAPPINESS AND CANDY!!!"

At this outburst, she dropped her trowel in surprise. She glared at me, "So how is your quest going?"

I shrugged, "Nothing much happened. This school has detention and homework, can you believe that?"

"Yes."

"Oh, well, so far only the first line of the prophecy's come true. Seven must journey to the wizarding world. The impossible task part sounds kinda depressing."

"Yes, it does."

"Anything interesting happened at the camps?"

"No. Okay, well Clarisse very nearly murdered Connor after he and Travis made the Ares Cabin completely...um, child-friendly."

"Ooh, what'd they do?"

"During capture the flag, they took away the barbed wire, dug out the land mines, took away all the weapons, put flowers everywhere, made the place smell nice, put framed pictures of cats on the walls, wrapped diapers around any sharp edges."

"Wow," I said, duly impressed.

"Yes, they put an immense amount of work into it."

"Well," I said, "I'll call you tomorrow."

She smiled, "Okay. Love you."

"Love you too." I cut the connection. 


☆☆ Hogsmeade ☆☆

Dumbledore made an exception to us about permission to go to Hogsmeades. Most of our mortal parents were dead, and gods apparently had better things to do than sign their kids' field trip papers.

"It's beautiful here," Annabeth commented. She wasn't wrong.

It really was cool here. There were many shops and people walking around. And everything was magical, which made everything cooler. Bags of stuff followed a woman as she walked around, and two windows seemed to blink at me, like eyes.

"I heard there's a joke shop here," Percy said. "Called Bonker's I think."

"That's not even close," Annabeth said, "it's Zonko's."

"Oh, I knew that," Percy muttered.

"Actually," Annabeth said, "Hermione told me that this summer, Ron's brothers—the Weasley twins— bought the place and made their own store."

"What?" Percy asked, dismayed. "There's no joke shop now?"

"Oh, there is alright. Their store is a joke shop. An even better one, or so I'm told. They have a bigger shop in Diagon Alley, which we didn't go to because Hecate had simply given us our stuff..." Annabeth trailed off. She was now talking to the air.

We were already running to the shop at full speed, even though we had no idea which direction it was in.

We ended up going the wrong way, and eventually circled around and arrived at the joke shop.

"Cool!" I announced, which was a huge understatement. "I'm going to buy everything!" I had a good feeling I would get rich by selling these at camp. The Stolls would pay tons of drachmas to get what I'm seeing.

Annabeth was impressed as well, "Wow, this is a lot of stuff."

"Hello!" someone said.

We turned and saw two people who were probably the Weasley twins.

The only way to tell them apart was that one of them was missing an ear.

"You guys are the new students, right?" they asked. "From America?"

"Um, yeah?" I said.

"Cool," they said.

"I'm Fred," the one with the missing ear said.

"And I'm George," the other one said.

There was no way to tell whether they were telling the truth or not. They could be saying their real names, but it was possible they weren't.

So I said, "My names Percy Jackson."

Percy caught on and said, "I'm Leo Valdez."

Even Jason joined in, "Nico di Angelo."

"Jason Grace," Nico said.

"Annabeth," Thalia said.

Annabeth decided that this would be fun too, "I'm Thalia."

Piper did not have anyone to switch names with. "...I'm Piper."

"Okay," Fred/George said, "we're going to give you a tour around our store! Say, have you been to our shop in Diagon Alley?"

We shook our heads.

They blinked, "What?"

"We were in a real hurry," Annabeth said quickly, "and we didn't see it."

"Oh," Fred or George said, "it's pretty hard to miss, but anyway! Right this way!"

I picked up a packet of orange and purple pills, "What are these?" I asked.

"Puking Patilles," Fred/George said proudly, "eat the orange side and you'd throw up. Eat the purple side after that and you'll be fine."

"Uh, why would we want to throw up?" Thalia asked.

"Why, to skip class, of course!" they grinned.

Our eyes widened and we stuffed our bags. 

"Er," Fred or George said, "you still have to pay for those."

"Yeah we know," I said.

"Okay."

When we got to the second floor, Thalia asked, "Hey Fred, what are these?" She was pointing to these weird fluffy pink guys.

"That, dear Annabeth, are Pygmy Puffs," one of them said, "but I'm George, not Fred." He grinned.

"Oh," she said, "but I'm Thalia, not Annabeth."

George's smile went down a bit and he looked completely bewildered, "What?"

"I'm Thalia," Thalia repeated. She gave him a duh look. We tried not to giggle.

"Oh," George said, "sorry." He was probably making a mental checklist in his head, with go to the doctor at the top of the list.

"That's okay," Thalia grinned.

"Percy, check this out," I pointed to some bottles of green pea-like things.

Fred blinked, "I thought you were Percy."

"No, I'm Leo," I said.

"Oh," he scratched his head and looked at his twin. George shrugged.

"Well anyway," Fred said, "that's U-No-Poo, it makes you constipated. People who eat it make the most hilarious expressions."

"Awesome." I got a bottle and put it in my bag, my tool belt in disguise. "How much is it?"

"One bottle five sickles."

"Okay."

He looked at my bag, "And what's in your bag is worth 52 galleons 11 sickles and 4 knuts."

"Okay."

"Okay."

After Nico called Jason Jason, Fred and George raised their eyebrows.

"Okay," Fred said, "I'm guessing all of you guys switched your names."

"Yup," Percy said, "you did too," he pointed out.

They grinned, "We're impressed."

"Thank you, thank you," I said bowing melodramatically.

"And what's your real name?" Fred asked Piper.
