Piper POV:

I love Pegasi they are the most beautiful creatures. And over water with the waves and sun all around you... I miss traveling like this, high above the ground with the wind in my hair, Festus blowing fire at anything that gets too close, this is the life. I can hear Jason's heart beating in my ear as I lay back against him, enjoying the ride. I hear someone growling my name from Gildos back. I look over to see Nico staring me down as he grips Wills waist like he's afraid he'll fall off.

"Piper what are you smiling about? Stop it, nothing about his is fun..." he growls it and I watch Will smile when he glances back at the pale boy behind him. I sit up realizing his discomfort.

"Oh Gods, Nico, I'm so sorry! This must be terrible for you, just hold on to Will I'm sure he won't let you fall." At the mention of falling off into the sea below he goes paler and holds the son of Apollo tighter, who just laughs at our antics.

"Nico, I swear I won't let you fall, besides even if you did fall we have Jason right there, Frank flying below ready to catch us and Percy who could cushion your fall if all else fails." Nico does not look any calmer at his boyfriend's words and just snuggles in tighter like he's trying to become one with his fellow passenger.

"I just don't want to get blasted off the horse or become a Nico pancake, sue me, William." I hear a disgruntled snort from the Pegasus their riding as he jumps for a moment. Forcing the smile off of Will's face and Nico to let out an undignified whimper scream. Percy spins his head in the direction of the commotion with shock written on his features.

"Dude chill he meant Pegasus! No need to copy Arion! And please refrain from calling him death boy, he doesn't smell that bad." He scolds the flying beast who calms under the reign of his driver. He shakes his head and snorts a few more times in Percy's direction.

"Okay sorry for bringing him up no need to get indignant. Neek's watch your language, Guildo is threatening to buck you off." Percy told Nico who had gone so white you would think he was dead, the shadow of Will he was currently hiding in seemed to go darker before he was scolded by the doctor.

"Don't you even dare! I will tie you to the bottom of this Pegasus and leave you there, so help me!" The shadows lightened up and with a slight squeeze, they both seemed to calm, despite Nico's swearing every time the wind blew a little too hard.

"whoa! Death breathe!! Chill out or I'll zap you back to Camp!" Thalia yelled in the direction of the duo.

"Shut up Pinecone face!!" Nico screamed over his shoulder without ever looking back at her, "You have your eyes shut!!! Your as scared as I am!!!" Looking over Jason's sleeping shoulder I realize she indeed had her eyes closed and was trying to control her breathing. I felt bad for her, despite this being her dad's empire I knew she wasn't a fan of heights. I fact that she had to ride a Pegasus alone probably didn't help, nor did the Stolls letting paper airplanes fly back hitting her every so often so Porkypie would have to dodge. I'd tried to stop them once but they didn't want to listen and when I'd tried to convince them not to they laughed and pointed at wax they'd shoved in their ears. For tricksters, they were catching on quick.

"Almost there guys!!!" Percy yelled from the front waking up Annabeth, Jason, and Connor from their slumber, I watched a giant eagle dip back down below the clouds, presumably Frank going down to meet Hazel in London. We would need to find an empty park or field to land the Pegasus and Festus so he could be deactivated.

After a safe landing, the five of us slide off of the dragons back allowing Leo to deactivate him into suitcase mode. Percy seemed to be arguing with Blackjack about the possibility of more donuts in his future, the only problem with that was Percy was very outnumbered in people who wanted donuts.

"Ooh donuts, sign me up waterboy!" Leo called out, Percy frowned in response

"First of all, what did I say about calling me waterboy? Second, don't encourage them and third continue on this path of resistance and you'll be the one buying the donuts for the group." Percy turned back to his seemingly onesided conversation with the winged horses. I heard Leo loudly whisper to the Stolls brothers who were snickering quietly.

"Sir Jackson is in a bad mood today gentlemen best be on your best behavior." The neighing in front of me got quiet as Percy stalked away with a smile.

"Good news everybody! Valdez is buying us all donuts!" A cheer went up from the remaining 10 demigods and three Pegasus. I heard Leo cursing behind me as we walked into town.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It took us a while to find Diagon Alley after our donut spree, who knew it would be hiding behind a pub and a magical brick entrance. Poor Jason was mocked relentlessly by Leo and the Stolls. It took an even longer time to find all of the supplies we would need. We all agreed that robes were not going to happen when we witnessed a small child trip on their as they ran around playing.

Nico and Thalia refused to get back on a pegasus so Hazel offered for them to ride on Arion, who was hesitant to let Thalia on when she nearly shocked him but allowed it in the end. Leo wanted to take Festus out and show up in style that way but was immediately outvoted. So with Three of the big three kids on the ground with Frank the Giant Eagle flying around them with Jason and me on his back so we could keep an eye on everything as we flew. The rest of them crammed onto the remaining Pegasi. Annabeth and Percy on one, The Stolls on another, with Will and Leo sharing Gildo. We'd been flying for a while when Jason heard Percy call out that we were just about there, and to prepare for our entrance. Without responding Frank let out a loud call to the three below us, I saw the blur of a horse followed by what seemed like lightning and shadows, which I could only assume was Thalia and Nico trying not to fall off the back. I had to hold in a laugh as the others brought themselves closer to us and thus closer to the ground.

"Oh, my gods!!!! Percy look at the architecture!!! The towers, the entranceway!!! Oh! I should have done that in Olympus!!!" Annabeth was ranting about something. something cool and big that she could obviously see from the front of the group. I heard gasps all around me. A castle was looming up from a mountain with a lake near it and some woods and a pitch for... football maybe? I wasn't sure because I had never seen a football field with stands that high off the ground. I could see what Annabeth was rambling about, I don't have the same desire for building something permanent like a building, but I could appreciate the beauty of the building in front of us.

"That's not where we are staying is it?" I heard Travis ask over the wind, his brother seemed to agree.

"We can't prank Percy in there!!! We would get in more trouble than it's worth! But hey, we like a challenge, right Trav?" before the brother could answer or any of us complain Jason screamed at us just as Percy began to call out instructions, and thus bringing on chaos.

"Watch out!!!"

"Dive dive dive!!! Go hurry!!" I had just enough time to Jason as Frank dove at a very fast rate, riping a scream out of my throat. I could hear others yelling so I assumed that they were all in a steep dive as well.

"Turn right!!" Percy yelled again.

I could faintly hear Leo screaming insults at Percy, as his and Wills Pegasi dove lower than the rest of us in two seconds flat, to avoid the carriage dragged by two white pegasi, that dropped down into their previously occupied spot. The two of them breathing heavily showed up on the other side of me, looking like they were going to be sick.

"You guys do that again and I swear on Hephaestus' bleeding flaming underpants I will burn down your stupid cabins when we get home and you will need immediate attention from our in house doctor." Leo managed to choke out, Will didn't seem to be pleased with us either as he glared at us individually, making eye contact with Jason and Percy specifically. The later of which was more focused on what the newly arrived pegasi were telling him.

"Oh Hades no, he burns you, you deal with it like a mortal. That was awful I want off." Gildo seemed to agree as he flapped his wings slightly eyeing the ground.

"Don't be a drama queen Solace, that's Zeus' job. Besides they are just on their way to Hogwarts, they didn't see you guys and they've had a long ride. Jasmine there apologized for their actions though if that helps?" Percy responded to their outburst as the gold carriage flies in the direction of the beautiful school.

"They said to wait a few minutes before following them, they need to make an entrance, I told them it was all good we had the same idea." We all begrudgingly nod fixing our hair and clothes to keep busy. Even so, it was one of the longest five minutes of my life. Based on the fact that there where a few makeshift mini helicopters around us I assumed that Leo was in agreement.

"Let's go!" Annabeth yelled back to us with a smile, this was her entrance plan so of course, she was excited.

We dived down at a slower pace than before, I felt my body go on autopilot thinking about how we trained for this at Camp for entrances into battle. I heard yells and shouts of glee... we had been spotted or at least Blackjack had, we then went into our v shape formation causing gasps to travel through the Wizards down below. As we got within a few feet of the ground we expertly jumped off, Jason used the wind to get us far enough from Frank so he could change back and run with us. This caused a resounding gasp to come from the crowd, I smirked as we began to run towards the forest I saw a flash of white and heard a loud whoop and scream come from it as we stopped in front of Hazel and her two white-knuckled companions. They clambered off of Arion as Hazel offered him a gold bar for his troubles before racing away. Claps engulfed us and we turned away and began to walk around to where the other Pegasi were being held by a very large man. I looked back in time to see a few kids in black robes staring at us as we walked away, with a smirk I watched Thalia call out

"It's rude to stare!" I smiled when Annabeth scolded her like a bad child and heard Leo beside me mutter,

"This is going to be fun."
