Hi guys! Thank you to the two people that voted on this story and added to their reading list! I have now decided on who the enemy shall be in the story. The prophecy bit is also in here. I hope you like it, I spent forever trying to make it good and not too easy to guess. I hope you like it! Please don't copy it or use my ideas. :P The rhyming took me soooo long!!

Piper

After the war, Piper had become strong friends with Rachel, bonding over their shared experiences of unwanted fame in the mortal world. She found that Rachel had a good sense of humour, and a quirky, yet likable personality. However, the whole 'possessed by the spirit of Delphi' thing still freaked her out. She hadn't forgotten the strength in which Rachel had clamped down on her shoulders, nor the way she spoke with Hera's voice, demanding to be freed.

So when Rachel closed her eyes and swooned, Piper acted on instinct. She dropped her suitcase and scuttled as far back as the cave allowed, then pressed her back to the wall.

Contrary to Piper, Percy and Annabeth immediately rushed to Rachel's side, easing her onto a small, paint-splattered stool. Almost immediately, green mist cloaked the ground, swirling around Rachel's feet like a huge python. Emerald smoke issued from her mouth, and Rachel opened her glowing green eyes. She spoke in a raspy voice, her words tripled—like three Rachels speaking at once:

"Nine half-bloods roam the sorcerers' land."
"Child of the dead halts second chance."
"Join the fates of worlds beyond,"
"Who unite to battle the bane of bonds."

On the last word, Rachel collapsed, but Percy and Annabeth caught her and helped her to her bed. She looked slightly disorientated and her skin was pale and clammy.

"I'm alright," she said, sitting up with Percy's help. "What did I say?"

As Chiron recounted the prophecy, Piper slowly inched her way back to her friends. Thankfully, none of them seemed to notice apart from Leo, who was snickering and miming terror, and Jason who looked at her in slight concern.

As Piper rejoined Jason's side, everyone started discussing what the prophecy meant. Even Leo, who had given up on mocking Piper, was listening raptly to Annabeth's speech. That was okay with her. Leo was a terrible actor anyway.

"Obviously, the nine half-bloods refer to us, and the sorcerers' land is the magic school that Chiron was talking about."

"Pigfarts," Percy whispered, smirking, which earned him a glare from Annabeth.

"Worlds beyond is talking about demigods, and the wizards and witches. Two different groups, from two different myths. Child of the dead must refer to either Nico or Hazel because of their, you know, parentage. I'm not quite sure what the rest means, though."

Frank spoke up. "So, we need to make allies with magic folks at a school, in uh, where again?"

All heads turned to Chiron.

"Ah, yes, I may have forgotten that. Well, anyway, Hogwarts is located in England, which is quite far, so you'll all borrow some pegasi." Gasps rang out around the room.

Nico stepped forwards from his corner, startling Piper.

"Actually, I would prefer to shadow travel. Hazel can accompany me and we can take some of the others as well. Percy and Annabeth can ride Mrs O'leary."

Chiron shook his head. "I'm afraid not. It could seriously drain your's and Hazel's energy, seeing as it is so far away. Not to mention, your boyfriend would skin you alive." A small smile played at the edge of his lips.

At the mention of Will, Nico scowled, but didn't protest.

"Now that's it's settled, are we going say our goodbyes and leave?" Jason asked.

Internally, Piper sighed. It was really too soon. To Hades with these wizards. We don't need magic, we've been fine so far without abilities to use pointy sticks. Speaking of which...

Piper realised something, and opened her mouth. "Wait a second, we don't even have magic! How are we ever going to blend in?"

Across the cave, Percy nodded. "She has a point. How can we convince the wizards that we can do magic if we wave our wands and nothing happens?"

Chiron furrowed his brow. "Of course. I knew I was forgetting something. As a matter of fact, she is slightly late."

Annabeth made to speak. "Wh—"

Right on cue, nine golden orbs appeared in the ceiling of the cave. Chiron smiled. "Hecate," he simply said. 

A cool, melodious voice washed over Piper. "Kneel, my heroes. Do not fear."

As everyone hastened to follow Hecate's instructions, the glowing balls of light descended lower and lower, until everyone's face were illuminated in golden glow.

Hazel's orb fell first. It melted into her hair, engulfing her in beautiful light and bringing out the shine in her eyes. Everyone gasped, and Piper thought that in that moment, Hazel truly looked like a queen.

One by one, the lights descended. As one came into contact with Piper, she saw Jason gaping at her, like the blessing of Aphrodite all over again. This blessing, Piper decided, though, was better. She was amongst her best friends, and there was a feeling of power running through her body. She felt strong, as if she could topple mountains and crush giants. This must be how kings feel. How gods feel.

Slowly, all the lights faded away, and Hecate's voice rang out through the room.

"All of you have now been blessed with magic. You will be able to perform spells like any ordinary wizard or witch, but you will have to learn quickly to catch up."

The voice momentarily paused, before plunging on.

"No special immunity that you can grant us?" Leo asked, face bathed in hope.

'No"

Leo visibly deflated.

"However, there are some drawbacks. Godly blood does not mix well with wizard healing spells, so do not try any wizard healing magic on yourselves. Unfortunately, you will have to be very careful, as wizards and witches can see through the Mist as well as demigods can."

A moment of tense silence.

"Rise, my heroes. I wish you all luck on your quest."

Her voice echoed around the cave before finally fading away, and silently, everyone got to their feet.

I'm really sorry that nothing exciting has happened yet. It's just that there are so many things that need to happen before they go, all the information they need, the prophecy, the goodbyes, not to mention all the stuff going on in Harry's world too, and I don't want the story to feel rushed.

I hope you enjoyed! Next POV will be Hary's. I tried to make Piper's POV more personal, because Hazel's POV could almost have been called third person POV.

So, the trivia questions are:
What is the name of the dragon guarding Camp Half-Blood?
How did Luke get his scar?

I've been wondering, how exactly do you pronounce Thalia's name? I mean, I googled it, and some people say it like Tah-lia, with a silent 'h', some say it like Thai-lia, or Tha-lia, and so on. If you've watched the movie, can you tell me how it's pronounced? I would watch it myself, but I hated the first movie, they got so many things wrong, so I don't think it's worth watching the second one. Also, how do you pronounce her nickname, Thals? Tell me what you think, guys! How do you pronounce it?

Another question: How many demigod curses can you think of? I've already made a list of 21 that I saw in the books. :D
