[3rd POV]
The day had continued after the nice and delicious breakfast, with most of the day being spent moving around certain books, and expanding the shop a bit as it was becoming a bit too small for all of the books that she wanted to put away. She had also added tons of new books to the selection, as she had read more and more of the books she had been gaining.
Her clones were now reading hundreds of new books an hour inside of her pocket dimension, reading through the Dragon Ball books while she was personally reading through some of the more interesting books from the universes she had connected to.
The other books that her clones had been reading tons of was the books from the Humans of Star Trek, which served to provide a lot of new knowledge and fun pieces of information to learn about.
The day had been pretty chill, with only one interesting guest coming in.
Or more accurately, one interesting group of guests.

[Flashback]
"I'm telling you Annabeth, she's not evil! I mean, your mom shops here, doesn't she?" The voice of Percy entered the store, as Wanda raised an eyebrow. In walked Percy, Annabeth and Grover. Annabeth and Percy seemed to be in some sort of argument, while Grover was awkwardly walking with them, looking like he wanted to be anywhere but there.
Which was a funny sight to Wanda. Grover was actually one of her most consistent regulars, and came into the shop pretty much everyday. The boy really really liked her tea, and he also regularly came to buy books on animals and nature.
He mostly bought ones on creatures and plans that hailed from other universes, with the occasional book that came from a universe that was similar to a normal Earth. None of them were normal Earth's, but they were similar enough.
His favorite books were those from the Doctor Who universe, since the Doctor had sold her a ton of books on alien fauna and creatures in general. Many of which were completely different than anything Grover or any other of his kind had ever seen.
Wanda suspected that Grover had not just been buying all of the books for himself, but also for the rest of his people. Buying a single copy that all of them would be able to read through copying. As while all of her books were automatically patented in every universe they enter, she didn't disallow copying the books so long as they were not resold.
She had the idea of eventually creating publishing companies to sell them to a wider audience without having to worry about her shop getting too many customers, but she was still contemplating that. It would be easy enough to do, as she would just have to make some suitable people to run the companies for her.
She was thinking fairies or something down that line.
But again, that would be a problem for her in the future, as she would first need to actually decide on whether or not she wanted to create said company. And then she would have to figure out how to produce enough books to be sold in all those universes without it being bluntly suspicious looking.
It would be dreadfully boring if she just did it all with her nigh-omnipotent power. And it would be of a similar area as her Bookstore, so she would want to do it as legitimate as possible. At least the actual production of the books.
The making of the companies, the CEO's, etc were not going to be done through the normal way.
"Uh guys...you know that Miss Maximoff can hear you right? She is a deity" Grover said blandly and somewhat awkwardly. He glanced over at where Wanda was standing, his smile becoming strained noticing Wanda watching them with clear amusement.
Hearing his words, Annabeth glanced over at Wanda slowly, her eyes widening as she paled slightly realizing that he was right.
"You really don't need to worry, Annabeth. Percy is right that I am not an evil person. Plus, I have been running my shop in your camp for quite some time now, not only that, but I have sold books to both your Mother and Hecate, is that not reason enough to trust that I am not up to anything?" Wanda asked, as Annabeth looked down slightly.
She felt like an idiot. Believing that Wanda was some evil person, someone that wanted to hurt them or betray them or something of the sort. When her mother and other Gods had willingly went to the store to buy stuff, proving that they were at least somewhat comfortable with her existence, and did not believe she was evil.
Athena was the Goddess of a lot of things, and strategy was amongst them. So it would make absolutely no sense for her not to have at least some sort of idea about what sort of person Wanda was, what she was capable of, and whether or not she was trustable on at least some level.
Basically, Annabeth was freaking out for no reason, and had been missing out on a shit ton of incredible knowledge. Knowledge that made every single instinct as the daughter of the Goddess of Wisdom go absolutely ballistic.
Seriously, she could tell that the bookstore had a ton more books than last time, and many of them were literally radiating magic.
"I apologize, Miss Maximoff. I had let my own fears and doubts cloud my judgement. An-and I hope you can forgive me" Annabeth said, lowering her head in a short bow, embarrassed beyond belief as Wanda smiled softly.
"It's quite alright, child. You are not the first person to doubt whether or not I have good intentions, and you certainly will not be the last" Wanda said with a chuckle, knowing that Annabeth was probably one of the most respectful people to doubt her and what she wanted.
Wanda wished that not so many people distrusted her, but there wasn't really much she could do about that. And she was never going to force them otherwise, as that would be against their beliefs and such. Free will and all of that.
Annabeth looked up and nodded awkwardly.
"Now, what are you three here for?" Wanda asked, as Percy looked at Annabeth with a pointed gaze.
"U-Um I was wondering if you have any books on magics that we can learn? Ones that are not reliant on blood or anything like that?" Annabeth asked, causing Wanda to hum.
"There's quite a few magics that can do that, honey. You have to be a bit more specific" Wanda replied, already knowing a few dozen magics that could easily be taught to anyone that had even the tiniest bit of magic in their blood.
And every Demigod was capable of learning magic, some just struggled far more than others.
"Well I was hoping for a type of magic that is not too hard to learn, but is also versatile and somewhat powerful? A magic that can get us out of tough situations and be a good backup should we ever need it" Annabeth explained, as Wanda nodded slowly, already having a magic on her mind.
"Wand magic would fit well enough with that"
"Wand magic?"
"Mmhmm, it's a type of magic from another universe. Over there it is simply magic, but Wand magic is the way I've decided to describe it. The magic itself is incredibly simple to learn, and I have hundreds of books on it. But for you three to learn it, you'd need to have wands. As while you can certainly learn the spells without them, it'd be easier to start with wands, master the spells using wands first, then without wands, and then without incantations" Wanda explained to the trio.
"And um...where would we get wands?"
"Well Wands aren't just something you can "Get" Annabeth. The wand is a foci, a type of special tool that strengthens and focuses your magic. And therefore, the wand does not get chosen, and instead "Chooses" you. It connects to you down to your very soul, and as such, the only way to get a wand is to obtain a few things. All of which I have" Wanda explained.
"The wood in which the wand will be made from. A core - such as a phoenix feather - a stabilizing agent - which in your case would be your blood - and a few other things. All of this is entirely reliant on the person, and as such we'll have to do some tests to find out which core relates to each of you, which wood relates to each of you, and what your wand should be" Wanda finished, as she hummed and snapped her finger.
Forming around her was dozens of boxes. Each one filled with a type of wood, as well as remnants of magical beasts and divine ones. All of them taken from her personal dimensions, since she had every type of magical creature from the world of Harry Potter inside, as well as many other creatures from other universes.
Looking at the three wide eyed children, Wanda smiled.
"Now...who would like to go first?"
