here we go
"Excited for the trip?" Apollo asks, beaming.
"Excited is a strong word," I mumble. "Remind me again why we have to take your sun chariot instead of, I don’t know, a plane?"
"Because I’m faster, cooler, and let's be honest, much more fun than a plane," Apollo says proudly. "Also, Zeus would probably smite you mid-air if you took a commercial flight."
"Right. Forgot about that detail." I sigh.
Leo claps his hands together. "Alright, let’s get this party started! Hogwarts, here we come!"
"Try not to set anything on fire before we even arrive, Valdez," Annabeth mutters.
"No promises," Leo smirks.
With a flick of Apollo’s hand, the chariot glows with golden light. I barely have time to grab onto the side before we shoot into the sky at a speed that makes even my demigod stomach lurch.
"I hate this already!" Nico yells over the wind.
"You and me both, Death Boy!" I shout back.
Hogwarts, here we come. Whether they’re ready for us or not.
