Percy's pov:

After we had lunch we just lounged around our rooms, chatting, reading, and stuffing marshmallows into Thalia's face(don't ask) for a while until Xander, Bianca, Zoe, and Mrs. O'Leary started tearing up the rooms. We decided to take them for a walk (or fly) outside, so we went back into Diagon Alley. While Bianca was chasing Zoe with Mrs. O'Leary on her tail, we decided to go a check out a shop called Quality Quidditch Supplies. Through the window, we saw hundreds of broomsticks lined up and a newer-looking broomstick hovering in the air with kids swarming around it. We walked in and saw many posters with the word 'Quidditch' on it. "What's Quidditch?" I asked Annabeth.

"You don't know what Quidditch is?" Came a familiar drawling voice. We all spun around. "Draco?!" Nico asked. "Neeks!" Draco exclaimed, pulling him into a hug. The son of Hermes and Will Solace were the only two people who were allowed to do that. Draco because he was his first friend when he first arrived at camp. They had bonded over Mythomagic and had played it, according to Chris, all night and day, annoying the entire Hermes cabin to the point where they were threatened to be sent to Mr. D. "Hey Thalia, Annabeth, Perce!" Draco said once they pulled out of the hug. "That's it?!" Annabeth burst out, "No, hello, how have you been for the past 7 years?! No, sorry that I've been missing for years and show up in a wizard shop out of the blue? Nothing?!" "Sorry," Draco said wincing and holding his arms out as if for a hug. Annabeth hugged him and then punched his arm. "Ow! What was that for?" he yelped, rubbing his arm. Annabeth raised her eyebrow. "Yeah, I guess I deserved that," he muttered. "Sure as hell you did!" I said, hugging him as well and of course, giving him the mandatory punch, which, unfortunately for Draco's poor arm, was in the same place that Annabeth had punched him. Thalia didn't hug him because REASONS (an angry vengeful virgin goddess was not someone Draco wanted as an enemy), and instead just punched him. Nico gave his punch as well. "Okay, okay, sheesh author, enough!" Draco grumbled at the ceiling.

"Are you done torturing my arm now?" Draco said in mock agony. Thalia gave him a saccharine smile and punched him again. "So, this is what you've been doing all this time?" I intervened before Draco's arm was broken beyond repair. "Well, yeah, also I had to live in a really dreary mansion with this awful dude who had to pose as my father and Harry Potter hates me and so does his friend Ronald and Mione had to pretend to hate me as to not raise suspicion, and my only two friends are some dumbasses who don't even know how to tie their shoe laces and I had to change my last name to 'bad faith' so you guys finally get to call me by my real last name now because I'm hella bored of being called 'Malfoy' all the time. And I've had to be turned into a ferret, joined a cult, nearly got killed by Potter just this once and over all had an awful time. But mom's fine! She finally has an excuse to 'divorce' Lucius, the man who was posing as my father. And the bright side is, there was a lot to be stolen in his mansion! I'm quite sure they had the real version of the Mona Lisa," Draco said in one breath.

"...Wow," I said to Annabeth, "that might even be worse than when we fell into Tartarus." "Wait, you did what?!" Draco practically shrieked, earning a few odd looks from the nearby customers. "Yep, me too," Nico said from the back of the group. "What was Will's reaction?" Draco asked, grinning. "Wha-uh, why, why would Will react?" Nico stammered, blushing a deep red. "Because you two are in loooooooove!" I singsonged, causing Nico to flush, if possible, an even deeper shade of red. "No?" Nico mumbled sounding more like he was asking than making a statement.

"So anyway, what have you guys been doing? Tartarus, huh?" Draco asked. " We'll catch you up with Mione on the train." Annabeth said. Draco grinned, "You might have to explain that to not just the two of us." "Wait there are more de-uh, dudes here?" I asked, Wise Girl facepalming at my cover-up. "Yeah," Draco said, "You'll be meeting some soon."

Just then, Thalia got a message from Xander. "We gotta go feed our pets before they decide to eat Xander," Thalia said. We said goodbye to Draco and ran outside to save Xander.

Welp, that was awful. Sorry it took so long, I had no inspiration at all and I kinda just wanted to get over with this chapter. Yeah.......so I also need a new last name for Draco. I have a few and I'll list them down, but if you have any other options, please write it in a comment. I'd really appreciate it. Here are the last names-

Draco Gryffin (ironic, I know)

Draco Gray (rhymes with Draco's gay)

Draco Rogers (I might actually make another fanfic that's a different crossover but the sequel to this book. Idk, I don't even know how to finish this book)

Draco Smith (Oof, kinda sucks)

Draco Whatever-the-hell-you-want (Obviously the best one by far)

Other (I am in sirius need of a better name for him).
