"Erm, I don't know what's going on," Harry simply uttered, absolutely lost as to where they were. His orbs scanned the detailed scenery around him in a cursory manner, a pitiful attempt to try and absorb it all. There were plains extending out for what seemed like miles, and in the other direction he could see the slight outline of a city..or..a kingdom. "Last I remember is Dumbledore's expression. I think he brought us here," Harry began, then looking around for the elderly man, "but he's not here..." "I'm Harry Potter," He finally managed to answer the lovely maiden in front of him.

"Harry," Hermione said quickly. "It's just us, some Gryffindors. No Hufflepuffs, Slytherins, no one else." She had noticed this, but she didn't know why that was.
Why would only Gryffindors be transported to Ancient Greece? Maybe the others were somewhere else... She could only guess. Looking back up at the two women, she waited for them to say something.

Athena looked at the boy with furrowed eyebrows. Who was this boy speaking of? She had never heard of such a man named Dumbledore. Maybe these children were insane or something like that. The future? Impossible.
"Who is this Dumbledore person?"

Hermione almost laughed. The women must think they were crazy.
"Dumbledore is the Headmaster of our school, Hogwarts," she said quickly.

Disguised as a lowly shepherd nearby, Hermes leered at the goddesses over his shoulder. He watched them carefully, making sure no one was looking in his direction before he conjured a shepherd's hut not even ten feet away from him. Snapping his fingers, a sheep appeared, and he continued to do the hand gesture until he had quite a few sheep grazing on the plains. Just as he created a sheep he could have sworn one of the strange mortals had looked in his direction, but he shrugged the horrible feeling off. He would approach them, later on. At the moment, he would allow the goddesses to extract what information they could.

Hermione was looking behind the two women, gaping. Had she just seen someone perform magic, in ancient Greece? Were other wizards here? Quickly, bumping into the women as she hurried past, she went over to the shepherd.
"What's your name?" she asked, not thinking.

"Egh..." The shepherd began nervously, "I don't speak your language....wait...oh shoot. I'm Polysea*cough*meadus." He had tried to avoid any contact with the mortals, yet he had failed miserably and the expression written on his face was extremely guilty.

"Are you a wizard?" Hermione asked him. He looked very shifty and guilty, and his name sounded like it was made-up. "I need to know."
Who could he be? Could he have come from Hogwarts to watch over them? Why were they even here? She had so many questions.

"Wi-wizard?" Hermes began rather unsurely, suddenly striking on an idea. He lowered his voice. "Y'know, if you throw that word around here you could get me burned at the stake," he half-joked, giving the girl a reassuring smirk. He was competing to be Poseidon's right-hand man, and what better way than to beat all three goddesses at information-gathering. He suddenly recalled a name spoken earlier. "Dumbledore sent me," He then whispered, trying to gain the girl's trust.

Hermione's eyes widened. "He did?" she said quietly. "Well then I must speak to you! Why are we here? What happened back at Hogwarts?"
She was very excited; she had found a wizard. Glancing back over her shoulder, she attempted to beckon Harry over without the women seeing. Then she turned back to the shepherd, Polyseameadus. It was a long name.
((I'll be back soon.))

"All I know is that Dumbledore is in trouble," Hermes began cooly, trying to keep things as broad as godly possible. If anything went wrong, he could just erase her mind. Hermes wanted to avoid that, however. "He sent me a message, rather telepathic, it was, telling me to watch over you guys. He didn't tell me much of anything," Hermes explained, continuing to lure the mortals into his web of lies.

Athena looked over to Hermes and gave him a warning look. He could blow their disguises because of his stupidity. He was going to dig himself too deep, so deep he can't get out of it. She could help him, she was the goddess of wisdom of course, but she could have her fun as well.

Hera shook her head at Hermes, stringing a tale of lies for the mortals, leading them deep from the truth. " Cousin Polyseameadus? Is that you?" She squinted her eyes tightly. "My mother has been looking for you, she says for you to put the sheep in their pen, and help her herd the chickens." She thought of something randomly, and walked towards him. "Excuse me, " She smiled at the mortals. "Hermes, what do you think you are doing?" She hissed at him. "If you wish to become the right hand man of Poseidon, until Zeus is back.." she said quickly. "You shan't do this." She hissed, and said more loudly. "Mother is over near the chicken pen." She walked back towards Athena and the mortals. "Now what were you saying about a place called Hogwarts?"

((Hysterical, you guys, keep it up))
Hermes laughed in Hera's face, finding her scolding rather amusing. She was jealous, obviously. "It's obviously a school, cousins," He added, smirking at the two before he went around the house to go see his "mother." It would only be so long before the two goddesses went back to the mountain. Hermes, however, was like...like a hawk! Yeah, that's it. He didn't even need sleep. He would come back later and engulf himself in the trust of the mortals.[/b]

Harry walked over to Hermione, listening to Polyseameadus' explanation. At the mention of Dumbledore's name, Harry was twice as attentive. If he knew where the Headmaster was, they might have been able to escape the Ancient times. Suddenly, the women they met seemed to get a bit irritated. They mentioned something about their mother and sheep, but it didn't really matter to him. "Hogwarts is a school for...well, gifted students," Harry began, trying not to throw the word wizard out too quickly. If they truly were in ancient times, as it seemed, they would need to be careful about who they talked to. "We just..appeared here," He explained, trying to have some sort of guidance.
