Disclaimer: I own neither Percy Jackson nor Harry Potter. Also, in my fic Dumbledore, Fred, and Snape are still alive. Let's say that Dumbledore and Fred faked their deaths and Snape was saved from the brink of death but hid his survival until after the war in order to avoid drawing the attention of Voldemort. But now they're all back. Don't worry, Snape's still moody. Octavian, on the other hand, is friendly. Don't like? Too bad. It's mine, not yours.

Chapter One: A New Task?

It was the summer after Gaea had been defeated and the demigods were returning to camp. The two camps had formed a bond in the battle with Gaea's army and even Octavian learned to get along with the Greeks. He had even asked out Rachel Dare after she told him what the winning lottery numbers were as well as filled out a perfect basketball bracket for March Madness the previous spring. The Romans came to respect the Greek fighting style and Greeks looked favorably upon the Roman's discipline.

The camps hadn't quite merged, but there were two new buildings at each camp. They were only about ten feet by ten feet and had a seven foot high archway that was four feet wide. But inside the arch was a swirling blue portal. The portal linked the camps so demigods could go back and forth. Greeks could attend college at New Rome and Romans could use the Greek forest for assault practice. The two camps had blended phenomenally. Everyone thought that leadership would be a problem. Technically the praetors could only command the Romans and the Greeks were free to do whatever unless Chiron told them otherwise. So a new system was set up.

There would still be two praetors, but they would preside over a counsel. The praetors could be either male or female and the gender of the other didn't matter. Each camp had elected a praetor at the end of previous summer. Percy was the praetor from Camp Half-Blood and Reyna was the praetor from Camp Jupiter. Each praetor was also allowed one advisor, Reyna chose Jason and Percy naturally chose Annabeth. The rest of the council was then made up of the ten centurions from Camp Jupiter and the ten cabin leaders from Camp Half-Blood, though only the leaders from the Olympian cabins. But the leaders of the cabins of the other gods were allowed to sit in on meetings, but could not speak unless addressed first. It worked out perfectly because Hestia, Hera, and Artemis were maiden goddesses and Percy was the only child of Poseidon so it was even. From Camp Jupiter were Octavian and Ellie from the first cohort, John and Jamie from the second cohort, Emily and Caspian from the third, Sam and Trevor from the fourth, and Frank and Hazel from the fifth. From Camp Half-Blood were Nico for Hades, Katie for Demeter, Malcom for Athena, Will for Apollo, Clarisse for Ares, Piper for Aphrodite, Leo for Hephaestus, Castor for Dionysus, and both Connor and Travis were allowed to represent Hermes because they needed to even out the table as well as represent the unclaimed demigods. Even the nymphs, satyrs, fauns, and dryads were allowed to send a representative, but it was the same for them as it was from the cabin leaders, they couldn't speak unless spoken to. Rachel was allowed to attend as well in case her services as the oracle were required, though Octavian didn't mind having his girlfriend close by either.

The first few meetings, which had occurred the summer before after the defeat of Gaea, were used to resolve conflicts between the camps as a whole and campers individually. It worked a bit like a court sometimes and leadership at others. Now it was used to establish rules as well as arrange the next war games or game of capture the flag or settle disputes between campers. Dionysus had been relieved of his duty at Camp Half-Blood after the war because of his 'valiant effort' or something like that, though it was most likely because so many demigods complained about the director and the camps had new, and better, leadership. The council ran the camps together and none of the full members could be disputed. The advisors weren't technically members of the council, but their word was treated as law regardless. But that may have been because the two advisors were a powerful son of Jupiter who could smite you with lightning and a daughter of Athena who was pretty handy with a knife.

The first meeting for the summer had been called and so only the council and their advisors were there because they decided that they would always arrive a week early unless they lived at camp year round and then they'd be there anyway. This year they were meeting at Camp Half-Blood and both Chiron and Lupa were there as well along with Rachel who would do anything to get away from Lady Clarions School.

"So welcome back," Percy started. There was some laughing and chuckling and Reyna rolled her eyes but smiled all the same. She was allowed to show emotion now with the merging of the camps and rather enjoyed it. "So we already have the schedule for capture the flag and the war games as established last year as well as the weird games where we mix it up. I heard the lava-spewing rock climbing wall has been put in at Camp Jupiter and is working?" Percy asked.

"Oh yes," said Reyna. "The infirmary has been kept busy with your Greek death machine."

"Gotta admit though," said Jason. "It's fun."

Reyna rolled her eyes again and smacked Jason before smirking. "I never said that it wasn't. But it did take three weeks for my eyebrows to even out after the first time." Everyone laughed at the memory. Reyna had tried the rock climbing wall at Camp Half-Blood and lost her eye brows to it but did make it to the top. However no one spoke of the event for fear of bodily harm. However, in their close group of friends laughing at each other's short lived misery was okay as long as the miserable person was the one to bring it up.

"So Chiron, Lupa," said Percy. "Do you have anything for us before the summer gets started?"

"Actually," said Chiron, "yes."

The demigods all sat a little straighter and their smiling faces vanished to be covered in stoic looks.

"What is it?" Percy asked. No one was anxious for another war or prophecy. Rachel even had yet to give the next great prophecy for which everyone was grateful.

"No need to get so serious," said Lupa with a feral grin. "It's not a prophecy."

There was a collective sigh of relief and everyone relaxed again.

"Thank the gods," said Annabeth. "So what is it?"

"A favor for me," came a voice from behind Chiron and Lupa. A woman with curly black hair who was dressed in emerald green robes stepped forward from behind the trainers.

"Lady Hecate," the council said as they stood up and bowed.

Hecate waved them off. "As far as all the minor gods and goddesses are concerned, you don't have to bow to us. You have done more than enough to have the right to stand on your own two feet in front of every god and goddess except for the Olympians."

"Thank you for your kind words Lady Hecate," said Reyna and the demigods sat down. "What can we do for you?"

"I was actually curious if you could become teachers at a school for mortals blessed by me. They call themselves witches and wizards and live in Europe for the most part. They do have magic, but they also need wands to use it." When the demigods sat forward with curiosity shining in their eyes Hecate continued. "Several of them don't even go into the mortal world, though they call it the muggle world. A muggle is a nonmagical person," Hecate explained.

"So what are witches and wizards like?" Annabeth asked.

"Depends on which ones you meet," Hecate said. "For the most part they are kind but behave as any mortal would. However, some are partial to blood. Some witches and wizards are pure-bloods, which means that their parents as well as their family before them were all witches and wizards. Half-blooded wizards have one parent that is a witch or a wizard while the other is a muggle. Muggle-borns, who I have personally blessed, are born to perfectly normal parents, but I have blessed them. Some pure-bloods call muggle-born mudbloods because of their heritage. It is a lucky thing for them that I am not allowed to intervene or else several families would have been wiped out generations ago."

"So what do witches and wizards do?" asked Frank. He personally had never heard of real witches and wizards, let alone that run around in Europe.

"Well they begin by attending a school that helps them learn magic. See when they have my blessing they can use what is called accidental magic. Basically their magical side takes over and solves a problem without them using a wand or even thinking about it. After that they can get a job in the wizard or muggle world. The wizard world has its own government which is not ideal, but works. They typically don't go into the muggle world very often though, it throws them off," Hecate said with a smirk.

"So what would you like for us to do?" Percy asked.

"I would like to reunite the wizards with their roots. They will have to quickly as well. They can't fight Greek and Roman monsters with magic. They will need to be taught to use actual weapons. I would like for the council to go to Hogwarts, the largest wizarding school, and teach the witches and wizards how to use which ever weapon best fits them. You would only have to teach the older ones who will need it. After Gaea's defeat her monster army scattered globally. Most aren't going to cause trouble right away or all at once, but if they catch wind of my blessed, Hogwarts will be in trouble. Also, they had their great battle with Voldemort during the time when Thanatos was chained. They have had a few of their own mysteriously return from the dead, including their headmaster. You may need to explain this to Dumbledore as soon as you arrive. Also, magic does not affect demigods and monsters like it does witches, wizards, and mortals. It will affect you for a second, at most. However there are three curses called the Unforgivable Curses. One is used for physical manipulation, another for causing pain, and the last for killing. However even these won't affect you at all, they'll bounce right off because of the divine blood in you from your godly parents. However I have heard rumors…" Hecate trailed off and looked at the demigods. "Is it true?"

Percy gave her a small smile. "Yes. Everyone including Rachel and Thalia, who is with the hunters, has been granted full immortality and will be the council for both camps until we're not needed, like Chiron."

Hecate gave a squeal of excitement then stopped. "Wait, so none of you is a god or goddess?" she asked.

"No," said Reyna. "We wanted to be able to stay at camp and not be constrained by the ancient laws. Though we did retain the powers we were born with and if anything the immortality only made them stronger."

"So is your new immortality the real reason Dionysus was released?" Hecate asked.

"Pretty much," said Percy with a pained smile. "But he really was a jerk."

Hecate laughed. "Oh, he's always like that, but you're right. It's not that he didn't like you though. It's more along the lines that he doesn't like being stuck at camp with no alcohol."

"Now I thought that had something to do with it," said Travis as he rubbed his chin and stared off at nothing trying to look deep in thought. All it got him was a face full of wind courtesy of Jason. Travis fake scowled in the direction of the son of Jupiter.

"What?" Jason asked. "You had this weird look on your face and I took it as a cry for help."

The immortalized demigods dissolved into raucous laughter and Travis shrugged before joining them. Even Chiron, Lupa, and Hecate laughed, though Lupa's laugh was a weird growl that sent shivers down a couple spines.

"Anyway," said Hecate. "I don't need all of you to go. I would be overjoyed if Percy, Reyna, Annabeth, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Katie, Will, Clarisse, Piper, Leo, and both Stolls were willing to go. That leaves some of the council to lead but also sends some of the most skilled demigods to train completely new mortals as well as keeping the oracle and her boyfriend here just in case a quest is needed."

"We would be honored Lady Hecate," Reyna said and everyone that had been invited nodded along. "What do you need from us?"

"Well I would like to use this summer to train you in magic as well as potions, herbology, and several other magical subjects. That way if we say that you are witches and wizards from a small school in America and our story would be believable."

"Wait," said Annabeth. "If we're students then how are we supposed to teach them?" Several other demigods looked confused too.

"I would like for you to be students for the first semester and for those attending your class to get some back ground on the Greeks, Romans, and the monsters they will be facing. Also, the magical community will be suspicious of demigods. All they have most likely heard is the Hollywood version. You could get to know the witches and wizards and they could get to know you and you would learn to trust each other," Hecate explained.

"So like Hera's plan except that we get to keep our memories and know what we're doing?" Jason asked and Percy smirked but nodded.

"Pretty much, except no war, just the occasional monster. You would drop the student act in second semester and simply teach the witches and wizards how to defend themselves. Also Professor Binns, who is a ghost, will be teaching about the first Titan and Giant wars as well as the history of the gods and demigods in general. Second semester would be focused on the more recent wars. Also, other than Dumbledore and Professor Snape, he will be the only one who knows of your heritage"

"So they'll be learning about us?" Clarisse asked.

"Yes," said Hecate. "That is why you will be dropping the guise of students. Professor Binns had the brilliant idea of letting the students do reports on you. I told him I'd ask and the decision would ultimately be yours to make. They will also be doing reports on the older demigods such as Achilles and the original Perseus and Jason. However their ghosts will not be allowed to visit. It would raise too many questions."

"I think it sounds like a fantastic idea Lady Hecate," said Annabeth. "How will we learn magic?"

"I will personally teach you after I bless you. You will need a wand though, at first anyway. I will have to teach you away from everyone else though. For now, only the demigod council can know of this. We will eventually tell the rest of the demigods, but not for a while. They will not be learning magic because we don't need another way for them to hurt themselves."

"Makes sense," said Percy. "Where do we get wands though?"

"Your parents will make each of your wands. Your wands need to have a divine aspect to them because of your divine heritage. They will also be very special. Typically a wand is made with the core being a magical substance namely dragon heartstring, the feather of a phoenix, or a unicorn hair being the three most common. There are other things that can be used, but are incredibly rare. However, your wands will be totally unique. For now though I must be going. I will let you parents know to craft your wands for you and when I return we will begin your magical education.

Two weeks later Hecate arrived back at Camp Half-Blood and Leo went to get the rest of the council from Camp Jupiter. When everyone was seated in the Principia that had been built at Camp Half-Blood Hecate told everyone that training was going to begin and she would like all the council, as well as the oracle, to be present. The rest of the council may not get a wand, but they would know the basics of magic. Hecate flashed them all to an arena on Olympus and told them that they would train at the home of the gods to avoid prying demigod eyes.

"Alright," Hecate said and clasped her hands in front of herself. "Now in order for you to use magic I must bless you." The immortalized demigods nodded. "Now if those who are going to Hogwarts will stand close together in front of me." Percy, Reyna, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Nico, Katie, Will, Clarisse, Leo, Connor, and Travis all stood close together in front of Hecate while the others stood behind her. Hecate spread her arms, closed her eyes, and began chanting. "I Hecate goddess of magic do so grant these, my blessing. May their magic be strong, their minds unclouded, and their hearts pure." When she finished a green mist spread out from her and covered the demigods. When it dissipated they didn't feel any different.

"Do you feel magical?" Connor asked Travis after looking at his skin and even pinching himself.

Travis closed his eyes and scrunched up his nose and looked like he was trying to poop. He stood up straight after a minute and said, "Nope."

Hecate rolled her eyes but smiled. "It doesn't quite work like that. First you must master the basics and then you can use the fun stuff."

"So when do we start?" Reyna asked.

"Right now," Hecate said. She snapper her fingers and fourteen massive trunks appeared to the side of the arena. The fourteen demigods going went to inspect the trunks and each found their own. It helped that their names were carved in the top along with a symbol of their divine parent. "Inside you will find your wands, books, supplies, uniforms, and other such things."

"Uniforms?" Nico asked with a sour look on his face.

"Oh, no need to worry buddy," Percy said and Jason nodded with a smile. "We're gonna look good in our uniforms." Nico looked at the pile of cloth and the pair of shoes and realized that they would look pretty good.

"Why don't you try them on now and we can make sure they fit how their supposed to?" Hecate suggested. "Plus, you need to get used to them. You will have to wear them every day while you're at Hogwarts. There, they were their robes all the time. The only time they dress in normal clothing is for bed."

The Stolls groaned but followed the guys to one room inside the wall of the arena while the girls went to another. The demigods not going chatted with Hecate about what their friends would be learning. Hecate said she'd rather not ruin the surprise, but the wait would be well worth it. After a few more minutes of conversation the guys and girls returned deck out in their uniforms.

The guys were wearing floor length hooded black cloaks with a silver chain holding them up. Underneath the cloaks they were wearing black slacks and black loafers with a long sleeved grey button down shirt with a vest. Each of their vests was a different color along with the hem of their cloaks. Percy's vest and the hem of his cloak were the same sea green as his eyes while Jason's were light blue, Frank's were a dark red, Nico's were black, Leo's were bright red, Will's were bright yellow, and Connor and Travis both wore light brown. However Leo had changed up the dress code by including his tool belt. He had also found a note that said all of his clothing was fire proof.

The girls were wearing the same black robes with the silver chain as the guys were. Underneath though they were wearing black pleated skirts that went to their knees, black flats, dark grey blouses, which were the same shade as the guys' button downs, and each was wearing a short sash around their waist that was the same color as the hem of their cloak. Reyna's were purple, Annabeth's were light grey, Piper's were pale pink, Hazel's were gold, Clarisse's were the same red as Frank's, and Katie's were green. All the girls also had their hair up in a messy bun except for Piper, whose hair was braided and Clarisse, whose hair was simply in a ponytail.

Octavian whistled. "Man you guys look good."

Percy and Jason laughed.

"I'm glad we're friends, man," Percy said. "Otherwise I wouldn't know if you were joking."

Octavian laughed and Rachel punched him in the arm. He pouted. "He did take some time and convincing though," Rachel said.

"And you did an excellent job, oh, mighty Oracle of Delphi," Jason said with a flourishing bow in which he swept his cloak to the side and bowed low.

"Why thank you," Rachel said curtseying with her imaginary dress. The demigods laughed and Hecate smiled at their antics. Octavian laughed too then slung an arm around Rachel's shoulders. Rachel had to admit though that after Percy, Jason, and Octavian became friends the camps were friendlier with each other.

"Alright, alright, enough," said Hecate breaking up the moment. "Now I need for you to find your wands. They should be in a small box right on top. But leave the boxes closed and bring them here. I want to tell you what each is made out of."

The demigods returned to their trunks and easily found the boxes Hecate had described. They came back with their cloaks fluttering behind them. The Stolls tried to strut, but Clarisse and Annabeth stepped on the hems of their cloaks at precisely the same time. The brothers choked for a second before gravity took over and they fell on their tails. Clarisse and Annabeth fist bumped and kept walking forward. The Stolls huffed, stood up, and were going to step on their cloaks, but Percy and Jason tripped them again before they could. There was more huffing and the brothers gave up for the time being. Hecate was once again smiling and rolling her eyes.

"Now why don't Travis and Connor go first since they were having a hard time getting back?" Hecate asked with a fake pout. Even the Stolls laughed but lifted the lids off of the boxes. Inside were two nearly identical wands, one was just slightly longer. "They are both made of elm wood and for their core, Travis yours has a scale from George and Connor yours has a scale from Martha." The twins picked up the wands and bright sparks began shooting out of them. The brothers got identical smiles and watched the sparks, completely mesmerized.

Hecate had each take out their wands one at a time. Clarisse's wand was made of spruce with boar's tusk as the core. Will's was pine with a core made of a ray of the sun and the wand was even warm to the touch. Nico's wand was made out of a petrified tree from Hades' garden with the core being hair from Cerberus. Katie's wand was made of maple with the core being a poppy flower from the first poppy plant her mother created. Leo's wand was made of tinder with the core being made of green fire; Hephaestus also attached a note saying that his wand was also fire proof. Hazel's wand was willow with the core made of a diamond string. Everyone was rather impressed with the core and Hazel merely blushed. Frank's wand was pine with the core of a vulture's feather. Annabeth's wand was made of the branch of an olive tree with the core being an owl's feather. Jason's wand was oak with the core being the feather of an eagle. Piper's wand was made of laurel with a core of siren hair. Reyna's wand was made out of birch with the core being made of the fire of a torch. Percy's wand however looked different. It was deep green and the texture was completely different from wood.

"I will say that all of your parents were more than excited to make you wands, but Poseidon was downright giddy." Several demigods smirked or snickered at the thought of a giddy sea god. "Percy your wand is made out of coral with core being made of a hair from Pegasus."

Percy's jaw dropped. "Like Pegasus? The original Pegasus? Son of Poseidon and Medusa Pegasus?"

"Yes, that Pegasus," Hecate said with a chuckle. "Anyway, all of your books are in Greek so no worry about your dyslembia or whatever it is." The demigods snickered, that's what it looked like to them too, and thanked her. "I will have you read some of you books each night and maybe write reports for me to prove that you have read it." There was much groaning from one corner. Hecate turned to the Stolls and raised an eyebrow.

"It's summer," Travis groaned.

"Yeah," said Connor. "Our three month break from homework. That's why everyone looks forward to it."

"If you would quit whining I would have told you that this would be after I taught you how to make your quill write on its own while you merely dictate," said Hecate with a small, dry smile.

"Oh," the brothers said together.

"Quill?" Annabeth asked.

"Yes," said Hecate. "The wizards don't like technology."

"Works for us," Percy said.

"Again," Hecate said, "back on task. Today I will teach you some of the basics. Now because I directly blessed you magic will come to you easily. But because of your heritage some magic will come more easily than other types. Also, you can say your spells in Greek and they'll still work. You don't need the correct wand movements, but do them so that you don't raise unwanted questions. Also, over time you may not even need a wand for some spells. Unless you are absolutely one hundred percent sure that you are alone, use you wand."

"So basically," Annabeth said, "use the wand at all times for now to get used to it. But when we are alone we can practice wandless magic?"

"Pretty much," said Hecate.

They spent the rest of the day learning a multitude of spells. The Stolls excelled at any spell that caused something of someone else's to come to them. Annabeth and Reyna immediately got everything, though weren't as skilled with elemental magic. Will accidentally made it so that everyone, including Hecate, was blinking black spots out of their eyes after he said fo̱s (Greek for light). Percy accidentally flooded the arena and Jason blast-dried it so that everyone looked windblown. Hazel was able to create gemstones and Nico could manipulate the shadows to an even greater extent. Piper could beautify anything. They found this out after she accidentally sneezed out one of her spells and it hit the wall of the arena. The arena was transformed from an old stone structure made of drab grey stone to one made of shining marble and granite with touches of gold and beautiful tapestries representing each of the Olympians. Hecate had her leave it. Leo was fantastic with fire, especially Greek fire. But they also learned that he could put it out. Annabeth and Reyna both made a note of his newfound talent. Frank could now speak with every animal without having to turn into it and Clarisse excelled in spells that caused physical harm, as seen in the piles of straw and cloth that were once training dummies. Katie, surprise, surprise, excelled in creating plants and making them grow. After a long day and Hecate was satisfied, the demigods changed back and found Hecate chatting with the rest of the camp council.

"So what did you think of your friends' techniques?" she heard them asking as they repacked their trunks.

"Great," said Octavian.

"Yeah," said Ellie. "They all seemed to catch on really quickly and nothing exploded so that's a plus."

"Hey," Leo, Connor, and Travis whined.

"No you three," Will said. "Percy."

Understanding passed over several faces but Percy said, "Hey… wait, nope. Nope you're good." There was more laughter.

"Alright," Hecate said silencing them. "For tomorrow, just show up at the Principia at Camp Half-Blood after breakfast and I'll bring you here and take you back in time for dinner."

"So should those from camp Jupiter just go ahead and stay at Camp Half-Blood?" Octavian asked.

"That would be a good idea," Hecate said.

The immortalized demigods from the Roman camp nodded.

The routine was the same for the next three weeks. Immediately after breakfast the council would go to the Principia at Camp Half-Blood and Hecate would flash all of them to Olympus, they would change into their school clothes (typically sans cloak), and continue to teach them more magic. They learned everything form summoning an object across the room to apparition to a patronus. And the demigods loved every minute of it. Sure, they'd get back to camp exhausted, eat, and go right to sleep, even those not learning magic, but it was a good kind of hard work. Those who weren't learning magic often offered tips as well as set up dummies or other things. But then one day in June Hecate had a very excited look on her face after they came out from changing.

"Today I am going to teach you a type of magic that is reserved for only the best witches and wizards. But you guys have exceeded even most of them so I am going to teach you. Today, most of you will become an animagus. An animagus is a witch or a wizard who can change into an animal. You don't have to do this if you don't want to. Frank doesn't need to. Who would like to learn?"

"Do we get to pick what we turn into?" Nico asked.

"Ah, no," said Hecate. "You turn into an animal that best represents who you are. Though, I have never seen demigod animagi. Who knows, some of you may resemble monsters rather than animals."

"Well I want to learn," said Percy.

In total, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Clarisse, Nico, Connor, and Travis were the ones who wanted to become animagi.

"Okay, so you nine will need to drink this," she said holding out eight vials of a murky liquid. The Stolls made a face at it, but the eight immortalized demigods quickly gulped it down and passed out.

Each of the nine had the same dream. They were in a garden. All around them were all sorts of trees and plants with animals milling around them and over them. The sun filtered through the leaves of the trees giving the forest an almost eerie feel.

The Stoll brothers found themselves side by side in the forest. They looked around and took in the scene. Several animals fled while others watched from a distance. They hadn't gone far when a pair a weasels tumbled out of the undergrowth wrestling. The Stoll brothers stopped and knelt down a few feet away from the pair. The weasels stopped wrestling and looked at the twins. The weasels were both light brown with black patches at the end of their tails, on their front paws up to their furry wrists like gloves, and around their eyes like a mask and each was about eighteen inches long without their tail and thirty-two with. The weasels went up to the twins who put their hands out to the weasels. The weasels each considered the hand in front of them before both stretched out their paws and touched each brother's middle finger with their soft paws. The Stolls' world once again faded into blackness.

When they woke up they were laying in the arena where Hecate had been teaching them. They shook their heads and looked around. Everything seemed to have gotten bigger or had they become smaller. They looked at each other and both gave squeaks of surprise. They looked identical to the weasels that had touched them.

The demigods who weren't going to be animagi had been talking with Hecate about what animals the others would be when the twins started to glow. The glow surrounded them and got thicker until they couldn't be seen. The glowing twins then started to morph into something else. They bodies go smaller and they seemed to grow tails. When the light cleared they were staring at two, nearly identical, weasels. The weasels looked surprised at first then looked over at the group and Hecate.

"Why am I not surprised?" Hecate muttered with an amused smile.

"Which one of you is Travis?" Katie asked. Weasel-Travis stood on his hind legs and raised his fuzzy paw. Katie came over and scooped him up before setting him on her shoulder. "You look good as a weasel," she said. Weasel-Travis almost seemed to purr as he rubbed against her cheek. Weasel-Connor squeaked at her feet and held up his paws to be held much like a toddler would. Katie smirked and picked him up, but walked over and set him on Will's shoulder instead. Will looked at Connor and petted his head and scratched under his chin.

Meanwhile, Clarisse was wandering through the same kind of forest that the twins had just left. A majority of the animals had fled at Clarisse's arrival and the ones that stayed close didn't exactly look friendly. Clarisse saw snarling dogs and vultures watching her intently. She strode towards them, but they shied away. She huffed in annoyance and turned around. Right behind her was a massive boar that stood as high as her waist with massive tusks. It stood about ten feet away and looked to be sizing Clarisse up. Clarisse got into a battle stance and waited for the boar to charge. Instead the creature merely walked towards her. It stopped right in front of her and Clarisse held out her hand. The boar put its snout against her hand and darkness overcame her.

When she woke up she was back in the arena. She stood up on all fours and shook her head. Then she realized she was on all fours. She opened her eyes and saw a long broad snout with massive tusks at the end. She had turned into a boar. Hecate nodded to her and the other demigods looked stunned. She saw a weasel sitting on both Katie's and Will's shoulders. She walked over to Will who held out the weasel. She snuffled it; it smelled like trouble. Connor and Travis, she realized. It suits them, maybe a bit too well.

The group of non-animagi as well as the weasels, Connor and Travis, had seen Clarisse have the same soft golden glow before she too changed. Then the glow faded and they were left with a massive brown boar with shining crimson eyes that smelled Connor before being satisfied.

Annabeth had only been wandering the forest for a few minutes before she saw it. It was a beautiful, dappled grey owl with such intelligent grey eyes surrounded by white eye patches. The two considered each other for a moment before Annabeth walked up to the owl. It didn't run away like all the others but rather watched her intently. The two foot tall owl hopped closer on the branch and leaned towards Annabeth. Annabeth put her hand out to it and the owl rubbed up against it before Annabeth was consumed by darkness.

She woke up on the floor of the arena just like the others and looked around. She felt a large warm breath on her back and stood up, a little clumsily. As she hopped from foot to foot she came to the realization that she looked exactly like the owl she had pet. She turned and saw a massive boar staring at her. She gave a hoot of surprise and flew up into the air. She saw most of the others still lying on the ground unconscious with the exception of Clarisse and the Stolls. She saw two weasels and instantly realized that those were the Stolls and the boar was more than likely Clarisse. She circled low and landed unceremoniously on Clarisse's back. The boar just grunted and lay down waiting for the others.

Leo opened his eyes and saw a beautiful forest around him and was instantly awed. So much color everywhere. He went skipping through the trees and saw animals all around him, but none of them came close. He ignored them and kept walking through the trees. After a while the forest changed into a jungle. Leo saw a couple of jaguars and leopards slipping away, but ignored them. Cats were cool, but not his thing. He kept walking until he saw it. There was a bright red spider monkey perched at the very end of a thin branch. It watched Leo and Leo watched it. The son of Hephaestus had never disliked monkeys, but was always wary of them. The red spider monkey gingerly swung to another branch and ended up on a branch right beside Leo. Leo watched it and then reached into his tool belt and pulled out a banana. The monkey held out its hands and gave the universal sign for 'Gimme.' Leo handed it the banana and sat down to watch it eat. After the monkey had finished its snack it tossed away the peel and held its hand out to Leo. Leo held his hand out too and the monkey grabbed his and Leo fell forward as the darkness consumed him.

Leo woke up to a weasel. He threw his hand out to slap it away, but it hopped back before he could. He stood up and saw furry red hands. He very quickly realized that they were his hands. He looked at the weasel that chittered at him and then bounded away. Leo was about to follow when he felt something behind him. He turned and saw a long red tail. He grabbed it and held it in his hands before giving it a test flick. He used it to pull a banana out of the miniature tool belt that was around his waist and then put it away. He then ran up to Piper and held his tail out to her and looked very excited. Piper felt his tail then pick him up by it. Leo screeched but then stopped as Piper set him on her shoulder to wait for the others.

Nico woke up in the garden to the thunderous sound of animals running away. He rolled his eyes and looked around. He wasn't as impressed with the forest as the others were. There were too many colors and too much light for it to appeal to him. He walked towards the darker part of the forest and soon found himself in an eerier part of the forest as well. Fog clung to the ground and the skeletal grey trees were rather close together. And the entire place was silent. Nico continued wandering until he felt a disturbance in the shadows behind him and to his right. He whipped around and reached for his sword that wasn't there. He saw a pair of glowing red eyes moving closer and closer. As he watched a large canine strode out of the gloom. It was roughly seven feet tall at the shoulders and was a lanky creature that somewhat resembled a wolf or a coyotes and its red eyes that watched him closely. The wolf-like creature smelled Nico and Nico straightened up and considered the canine. The canine lowered its head a bit and looked Nico straight in the eyes before putting its nose to his head. Nico smiled as the shadows enveloped him.

The demigods and Hecate nearly panicked when a black glow surrounded Nico then hid him from view. Nico's form grew larger until a massive canine was lying on the ground before them.

When Nico woke up and realized he was lying in the grass of the arena. He lifted his head and looked at his friends who appeared terrified. He had been too, but now he was the terror. He couldn't have chosen better himself. He gave everyone a toothy grin then strode over and lay down by Hecate to wait for Percy and Jason. But Hecate seemed unafraid as she reached over and pet his head. The sensation was strangely pleasant to the son of Hades.

Nico saw and owl tilt its head to the side and realized that was more than likely Annabeth.

Hecate smiled at the owl before saying, "Our friend Nico here is a direwolf. The rarest of all the monsters the Underworld has to offer." Nico watched his last two cousins feeling pleased.

Jason meanwhile was wandering the woods. Nearly every kind of bird in existence was following him but they were absolutely silent which was rather disconcerting. He nearly thanked is father when the forest ended at the base of a mountain. He started to climb a steep trail in hopes of finding an animal that would accept him. He climbed higher and higher until most of the birds had left him for the lower altitudes. He saw a massive shadow pass overhead and looked up but whatever it was it was gone now. He kept climbing but the crags of the mountain forced him to the left. He came out on a rocky crag and the few birds that were following him fled. He saw a massive shadow descend onto the crag five feet to his right. A massive bird alighted on the crag. It was bright white with light blue along the edges of its wings and the end of its fan like tail and had slightly darker blue markings along its face, head, neck, and back. Its bright blue eyes stared at Jason and its black beak shone in the sunlight. Jason bowed to the bird and it nodded back. It hopped onto the same ledge as Jason and was just over ten feet tall at the feathery crest on its head. The bird bent forward down and put its beak against his forehead and Jason passed into darkness.

The demigods started when Jason began to glow bright blue. When they could finally see what he looked like Hecate gasped. In front of them was a massive white bird with bright blue eyes and a lighter shade of blue along the end of its wings and tail. His black feet dug into the earth beneath him and his black beak gleamed in the sunlight. The bird saw Piper and walked towards her in a stately manner that only seemed natural. He stood in front of her and was about eleven feet tall. He then spotted the Monkey-Leo on her shoulders and bent low to look at him. His eyes narrowed and he gave a screeching cry and spread his wings causing electricity to crackle along the edges of his wings and tail. Leo quickly jumped away from Piper to Frank and hid behind him, clinging to his shirt for dear life. The bird began nuzzling Piper and cooing and Piper started petting his head.

"Really Jason?" she asked. "Was the necessary?"

Jason nodded.

"What are you?" Reyna asked.

"He's a thunderbird," said Hecate slightly awed. "They haven't been seen for centuries. But it is fitting for a past Praetor and a son of Jupiter. Annabeth," Hecate said quickly, holding out her arm. Annabeth glided over from Clarisse's back and landed gracefully on Hecate's arm. She had been practicing while they were waiting. "It would be best if you turn human. If Jason is a thunderbird and Nico is a direwolf, then I have no idea what Percy will be and we don't need him freaking out and leveling half of Olympus looking for you." Owl-Annabeth nodded and Hecate set her on the ground. "All you have to do is imagine yourself human again."

The demigod animagi all did this in a matter of only a few seconds. But Connor and Travis shifted right back and Travis went to sit on Katie's shoulder and Connor leaned against her leg. Annabeth stood at the front of the group with Jason and Piper holding hands right behind her.

Percy meanwhile was wandering around the forest, but most of the animals shied away. Some stayed close, but not close enough to be touched. These were mostly horses, pegasi, unicorns, and bulls. He tried to approach them, but they shied away and then returned to following him. Percy soon came to a beach with the ocean crashing down on it. He smiled and strode out into the depths of the sea and the bulls and equestrians were forced to stop following him. He continued to wander and saw all kinds of fish that now started to follow him and even several hippocampus, sharks, dolphins, and whales as he got deeper out. He saw a trench and wondered if any giant squid lived there. He swam towards it and the other animals dashed away as soon as he entered the aquatic canyon. Percy was watching some fish swim into crevice in the canyon wall when he felt a presence behind him. He quickly turned around and saw a dark shape looming behind and below him. He couldn't quite tell what it was as the murk concealed it, but could see its massive, glowing green eyes. He swam towards it and it towards him, though at a more leisurely pace. Percy still couldn't see what it was, but felt pulled towards it. Soon Percy and the creature were only inches apart. Percy held out his hand and felt cold scales press into his hand before the darkness swallowed him up.

The demigods and Hecate were waiting anxiously for about ten minutes before Percy started to glow blue and green. His glow was brighter than Jason's and forced even Hecate to turn away. When they turned back every jaw dropped, be it demigod, weasel, or goddess. In front of them was a massive sea serpent. It was a bit longer than fifty feet, but was nearly twenty feet around at its thickest. It was a deep, dark green with dark blue fins along its neck, back, and sides as well as a massive one at the end of its tail. When it opened its eyes and looked at them, its eyes were sea green with slits for pupils. Annabeth walked towards him and Percy bent towards her. His square head was about as tall as Annabeth. She began petting his scaly cheek and everyone in the arena could hear humming coming from his chest. Annabeth saw what looked like flabby skin behind his head and down his neck. She began petting it and Percy shook his head.

"A giant, ticklish, sea basilisk, demigod, animagi," said Hecate. "Don't see that every day, or ever actually."

Percy sat up and looked at her. He hissed showing off countless rows of needle fine teeth with two every large incisors in the front two of his top and bottom jaw. The skin on his neck flew up on barbs much like a basilisk's would and made him appear even bigger. His previously smooth tail now had a large fan at the end that sat vertically and was the same color as the fan around his head.

"Hey, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth said in a perfectly calm tone. "Calm down, it's called sarcasm, remember. Now you can shift back by imagining yourself as you were human." Sea-Basilisk-Percy nodded and closed his eyes. A few seconds later Percy was standing in front of them in his uniform.

"So how'd I do?" Percy asked.

"You're tied for first," Hecate said. "You're actually a sea-basilisk. They are exceedingly rare anywhere. There were only a few to begin with."

"Actually," said Jason stepping forward with Piper, "he won."

"Definitely," said Nico.

"Why? What's everyone else?" Percy asked. He felt something wrap most of the way around his calf and looked down. He saw a knee-high brown weasel hugging his leg and picked it up under its front legs and left the rest of it hanging. The weasel looked at him with bright eyes and a small toothy grin and then waved with its front right paw.

"That weasel is Connor and the one on my shoulder is Travis," said Katie. Percy looked back at the weasel he was holding and shrugged before setting Connor on his shoulder.

"I can turn into an owl," said Annabeth as she slipped her hand into Percy's.

"Boar," Clarisse said as she raised a hand.

"I'm a red spider monkey!" Leo cheered.

"Direwolf," Nico said with a dark, menacing grin.

Jason looked a bit sheepish and Piper nudged him forward. "I'm a thunderbird."

"Guys, that's awesome!" Percy congratulated them.

"Not as cool as a giant freaking sea basilisk!" Jason countered the countered with a smirk. "What did you go looking for it?"

Percy gave him a lopsided grin in return. "Did you?"

"Touché," Jason conceded with a nod and Percy slung an arm around Annabeth's shoulders.

"Alright," said Hecate. "Wait here." She then flashed out.

"Okay then," Percy said. "Did she tell you guys where she was going before I woke up?"

"Nope," Reyna said. "We are now off script."

Weasel-Connor nuzzled against Percy's cheek and Percy started petting him. The demigods who were learning magic got bored after a few minutes and pulled out their wands. They practiced multiple spells and even had target practice with the Weasel Twins, as they were newly christened, dashing around on the ground. Hecate flashed in after nearly half an hour with the entire Olympian council behind her. Connor and Travis shifted back before the gods saw them in weasel form.

"Alright," said Zeus. "What did you want to show us?"

Hecate looked giddy. "Not me," she said. "Them." The entire Olympian council turned to the demigod council.

"What?" Connor asked when the gods turned to him. "If you want someone to spontaneously combust look at Leo."

The gods looked at Leo who grinned at them then burst into flame. Hephaestus waved his hand and Leo was extinguished, eliciting a disappointed "Aww…" from the son of the forge god and snickers from the sons of Hermes and Apollo.

"Well?" said an exasperated Hecate.

"We don't know what you want us to do," Nico said.

"Remember the cool new ability you got, like, less than an hour ago?" Hecate asked as though it were obvious.

"Ohhhhhhhhh," was the reply from eight demigods. Connor and Travis came and stood about five feet in front of the gods and began to glow a soft gold. Their shapes shifted until they stood about eighteen inches high. When the glowing stopped there were two weasels in their place. Hermes came forward and bent down in front of the tall weasels. The weasels faced him. Hermes held out his hand palm up and the Weasel Twins ran up his arm and each sat on a shoulder.

"Clever," said Hermes with a maniacal grin as he stood up, which the weasels easily matched.

Clarisse stepped forward next and gave off the same soft glow as the brothers and her shape shifted. When the glowing stopped there stood a massive boar. Ares shoulder his way to the front. He grinned down at his daughter.

"Excellent," he said as he pounded his fist into his hand. Clarisse responded by snorting and pawing the ground.

Annabeth stepped to the front as Ares and a human Clarisse stepped to the side. She took a deep breath and the gold glow covered her and she shifted. After a few seconds a beautiful grey owl stood in her place. Athena stepped forward and held out her arm. Annabeth flew up and alighted on her mother's arm without gouging her with her talons.

"Beautiful," she breathed. Annabeth hid her head under her wing before taking off and landing as a human.

Leo stepped forward and the glow covered him and his shape got rapidly smaller. In his place was a normal sized red spider monkey. Hephaestus came forward chuckling and held out his hand for Leo. Leo raced up the forge god's arm and sat on his head and started digging through his hair before he disappeared into his father's beard. Hephaestus batted at him playfully and Leo moved to his shoulder.

"Ingenious," Hephaestus said with a smile.

Nico stepped forward, but stood about ten feet away from the Olympians while Jason took a few steps back and pulled Percy with him. A black glow surrounded Nico and the gods gasped. His shape got a lot longer and taller. A few seconds later the glow vanished to reveal a direwolf that was nearly nine feet tall at the tips of the ears and had glowing red eyes. Hades came forward and walked right up to Nico. Nico's neck arched more and his ears went up as he stood tall and proud and Hades grinned, a slightly mad grin (crazy, mad just sounds better). Nico then returned to human form.

Jason stepped up and Percy took another step back. Jason was enveloped in a blue glow and he got rapidly taller. When the glow dissipated a thunderbird stood tall and proud before them. Zeus' jaw dropped and he stepped forward. Jaw cawed and lightning began crackling along the length of his wings and the end of his tail.

"Magnificent," Zeus breathed as he nodded to his thunderbird son. Jason bowed back before returning to his human form and stood beside his father where Piper joined him.

Poseidon stepped forward. Percy gulped and took several steps back. He took several deep breaths before he was ready. A blue and green glow surrounded him and he got longer and taller. Poseidon had to take a step back. When the glow vanished the gods and immortalized demigods were facing a massive sea basilisk. Poseidon's jaw hit the floor along with everyone else's, including those who had already seen it.

"A sea serpent," Ares said with a smirk.

Poseidon was about to correct him when Percy quickly slithered round and faced Ares. He screeched at the war god, showing off his many teeth, and the fins at the base of his skull and end of his tail sprang to life. Ares gave a very shocked and high pitched cry before falling on his butt. Clarisse glared at Percy but helped her father up. Percy slithered back around to sit in front of Poseidon where he then bowed and returned to human form.

"The correct term is sea basilisk," said Annabeth. "Apparently he's very touchy about the name." Percy just rolled his eyes, smirked, and slung his arm around Annabeth's shoulder.

"Actually it's like calling a crow a pigeon," Poseidon said. Annabeth clammed up. "No worries, daughter of Athena," Poseidon said with a laugh. "It's a common mistake. However, sea basilisks are venomous and have thicker scales and bones than a sea serpent."

Annabeth relaxed and the demigods spent the rest of the day showing their parents the other magic they had learned. Hades then told them about dementors and how they would listen to Nico and Hazel, but for the rest of them to be on guard and remember the good times. Hermes told them about the Forbidden Forest that surrounded the school on two sides was forbidden because it contained Greek and Roman monsters that the wizards couldn't fight. Athena then explained that there was a force field around the school similar to the one at Camp Half-Blood, but it simply warded away the monsters, not physically kept them out. The demigods thanked them for the knowledge and bid them goodnight. Hecate flashed them back to Camp and they promptly collapsed on their beds after changing out of their uniforms.

The next five weeks the demigods studied potion brewing and the nonmagical demigods were allowed to participate as well. They had moved to one of Hecate's palaces where she had all of the supplies they'd need. Annabeth, Reyna, and Leo, surprisingly, quickly excelled at potions and this time Percy did blow something up and the Stolls turned their hair green. But after a couple of days everyone was getting it and Percy had advanced to where Annabeth, Reyna, and Leo were. After three and a half weeks Hecate could simply name a potion and the demigods could properly make it. There was still the very occasional mishap, but they were easily fixed, that or clean-up was quick.

The next week and a half was spent on herbology. Hecate had Nico simply observe after he managed to kill most of the plants just by entering the green house and advised him to avoid herbology at Hogwarts. Nico agreed and watched from a distance. Nearly everyone got it right away; the Stolls didn't get it until after it was explained again. They had been too busy making the plants move or sprout new things. Katie excelled in this area to a point where no one could catch up, but no one minded; as Travis put it "It should be her area of expertise," though he did turn bright red when Katie kissed his cheek.

Up until August 31st the demigods were practicing magic or making potions or raising plants. They could all do wandless magic to some extent, but Annabeth and Reyna of course could do it before anyone else. Leo actually managed to melt one of the 'unmeltable' cauldrons and talked about it for the next hour. It ended when the Stolls found him a new one and hid the remnants of the old. When the end of August arrived Hecate met the immortalized demigods in the Principia at Camp Half-Blood. They knew that the train left sometime in the middle of the night in America so they had to leave early. When Hecate arrived the part of the council that was leaving was already in their uniforms in front of their trunks with their cloaks over their arms.

"All ready?" Hecate asked.

"We've said goodbye to the camp and Chiron and Lupa," said Reyna, "so yes."

Hecate nodded and the council exchanged hugs, though Connor and Travis did try to give Octavian wet willies before they left. Hecate managed to get the twins away from the reformed augur and herd them onto the train, but only after they had slipped a small firework into his pocket. Octavian yelped as they were still hugging and everyone saw a little smoke coming from his pocket. Rachel responded by hugging both twins and pouring glitter in their hair. Everyone was confused about the glitter until Hecate winked at Rachel. The twins shook their head for a good minute and getting glitter everywhere, but their scalps were still sparkly. They shifted into weasel form to see if that helped. They looked at each other and realized their entire coat was covered in glitter. They shrugged as weasel and changed back to human form to give Rachel and Octavian good natured hugs then going to stand by Hecate with everyone else. They waved as Hecate flashed them away.

When the demigods going to Hogwarts looked around they saw a large crimson train beside them that said OGATWRSH PXERSES or something like that and their trunks were nowhere in sight. They nodded to Hecate before boarding the train and claiming three compartments close to the front. Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, and Reyna sat in one coach. Leo, Frank, Hazel, and Nico sat in another. Meanwhile Clarisse, Will, Connor, and Travis occupied the third. They saw their trunks appear above where they were sitting, smiled, and sent a silent prayer of thanks to Hecate. They started chatting for a little while until they all fell asleep.

Okay, to this chapter is really long and there probably will not be others anywhere near this length, but I did get through years of wizard school in just over ten thousand words. Next chapter will be with the wizards when you want it, it's all set!
