[3rd POV]
After her clone had finished helping Harry, and brought back literally hundreds of cursed and dark books from his various vaults, including a few books that had some incredibly unique spells, and even one of the family grimoires of the House of Black. She had read almost all of them within a couple of days, and had thoroughly enjoyed what she had learned from them.
There were now copies of each and every single one of them on the bookshelves, with Raven reading a few of the books on dark curses, and even Ivy was reading some books on the unique and rare plants from that world. She wanted to mimic it eventually if she could. And Wanda was planning on teaching her magic so that she could, but that would be for later.
Using her clone, she ended up stealing all the books from some of the vaults that she wouldn't be able to naturally get. The entire vault of books from the Malfoys, Lestranges, Crabb, Goyle, Nott, Zabini, and various other dark aligned families were within her hands in the next few hours, and each of them had also been read and put out to be sold soon too.
She found that a majority of their books were useless, or were inferior to the quality that Harry had given her. Which made sense, considering every family he was the lord of was older than 99% of the rest of the wizarding worlds pure blood families, with the Peverall family being by far the eldest of them, and by thousands of years at that.
It turns out that the Peverall family was far older than what was shown, existing back during the times of the ancient Roman's, thousands of years ago. They were older than even someone like Merlin, which was an impressive thing to say. Although Merlin was younger than even the founders of Hogwarts so...perhaps not too crazy
Wanda had ended up keeping her clone in Harry's world, and gave it the duty of traveling around the world to collect rare books from around the world, but to keep England out of its sights so that Harry and the others could continue to come and trade in books and get something out of it. Instead, it had gone off to Greece to start off.
At the moment Wanda was smiling as she watched a group of demigods picking through her books, the first round of demigods from Camp Half Blood had finally been allowed in, and were coming in by droves to buy books from her. All sorts of books, and in exchange she was getting tons of new books, exchanges of knowledge, and coin.
"Wow! These books are insane! I've never seen a forging method like this before!" A demigod child of Hephaestus said, as he grabbed a book on forging from the world of Naruto, which used different methods than normal, he also grabbed a book on chakra metal which did not exist in the world he lived within.
"Not to mention their books on fashion! It's completely different from anything we have in the camp!" One of the daughters of Aphrodite said, as her eyes practically sparkled upon reading on the fashion of the Game of Thrones universe. Wanda had gotten a few books that showed illustrations of them, and it seemed they were quite popular with the Aphrodite kids.
There were similar reactions to various other topics that were being sold at her shop, and thanks to that, she was making a lot of profit, both in knowledge and in power. And she was enjoying the reactions of the kids even more, happy to see others enjoying the knowledge she was selling.
As she sat there reading and glancing at the kids browsing, she stopped when the door dinged open, her eyebrow raising as she saw who had entered. It was a beautiful woman that was radiating quite a lot of divine power. She had a no nonsense look on her face, and seemed to be surveying her surroundings with narrowed eyes.
'Hah, I was wondering when she would appear. She was the Goddess I was most interested in interacting with, afterall, well, besides Hecate' Wanda thought, as the woman stopped in front of her desk, with Wanda beginning.
"What can I do for the Goddess of Wisdom herself?" Wanda asked, looking up at the woman with a small smile on her face, as Athena frowned.
"What is this place? How is it possible for it to exist? What is your purpose within the camp?"
"This is my bookstore, simple as that. It exists because I will it so, and because I want it to. And it is in the camp so that I can sell my books to the campers, and in return gain knowledge and coin from them. It's quite simple really. I believe I explained all of this to Dionysus already, did he not tell you?" Wanda asked, as the woman seemed to ignore her question in favor of narrowing her eyes at her.
"And what gives you the right to open a shop within our territory?" Athena said, trying to be intimidating, but it...didn't really come off as that to Wanda.
Wanda glanced at her unimpressed, finding her attempt at intimidation to be...laughable at best. She was massively weaker than Wanda was, so much so that she could flare her aura and the woman would die, permanently at that.
"I don't believe it is your territory though, is it? You don't own the United States, do you? And even then, you can't do anything about it. Perhaps if that little creator God of yours came here themselves then maybe they'd be able to get rid of my shop, but even then I doubt it" Wanda said, giving the woman her first strike inwardly, as she went off a three strike rule with people like her, upon the third strike, she'd show her her place.
She was being kind even doing that much. And the only reason she hadn't done anything yet was because all the kids in the shop didn't notice Athena, likely using her divinity to conceal herself.
"Creator-you speak of Khaos? And so brazingly? You are quite the arrogant woman, aren't you?" Athena asked with a frown.
"Hmm, probably a little bit. But I am more confident and sure of my power than anything. I could wipe out your entire little pantheon with a single snap of my fingers, do you really think I care so much for your threats and attempt at intimidation? Now, are you here to buy any of my books, or are you going to continue being a disappointment to your title as the Goddess of Wisdom?" Wanda asked, as the woman slowly began to show a scowl, but one tiny flare of Wanda's aura, and she went silent.
She had only shown Athena it, but it seemed it got the effect she wanted as the woman paused, her eyes wide as sweat began to fall from her figure, her own divine power refusing to move to her will as she felt the power of Wanda, only a small fraction of it, but enough to make her feel small, so very small.
"I-I apologize, M-Ma'am" Athena stuttered slightly, fear in her eyes, even though she was doing well at hiding it on her face.
"Apology accepted. Now, do you have any books you wish to buy or sell to me? I've got quite a collection growing, and I am quite confident that you have never seen a majority of them" Wanda said as if she hadn't just put the fear of "God" or in this case, the Scarlet Witch into the Goddess.
Athena, hearing this, went silent for a few moments before snapping her finger, Wanda's eyes gleaming in excitement as stacks of books surrounded Athena, likely over five hundred books in stacks. Each and every single one of them being completely unique and new, and upon seeing them, Wanda smiled.
"Well, with that many books, you could likely half the books in the shop. So go ahead and pick out what you want while I file these away" Wanda said, only for Athena to snap her fingers again, another group of books appearing, likely another 350 or so books.
"Will this be enough to buy one copy of every book in this store?" Athena asked, as Wanda blinked several times, before nodding.
Making a swishing motion with her wrist, a small bag appeared in her hand.
"Here, since you've given me so many new books, I'll allow you to take this with you. It's a new book bag that I'll be selling that is the size of a small country on the inside, so you can hold as much as you want inside of it. This is the largest option, but considering some of those books you're giving me are quite rare, I'll give it to you" Wanda said, as she handed Athena the book bag, the woman looking surprised as she glanced at it.
"...Incredible. You created a pocket dimension just to hold books? And one of such size?" Athena couldn't help but say as she gazed at it, she could feel that inside there was a bunch of books, but she could also see that it was far larger inside than what it looked.
"Mmhmm, I'm more than powerful enough for such a thing, Athena" Wanda said with a nod, as the Goddess of wisdom looked up at her in silence, before bowing.
"I apologize for my actions earlier. It was unbecoming of a Goddess of Wisdom, and I must thank you for showing me the error of my ways. I shall be back with more books soon, I just hope you'll have more new books to show me in return" Athena said, with Wanda smirking in response.
"I'll have a lot of new books coming soon, Athena, trust me. I do hope to see you soon!" Wanda said, giving the Greek Goddess a wave as she walked out of the shop.
'Seems I'll be getting a new regular, and one that might actually be capable of growth too' Wanda thought with a pleased smile, knowing that Athena would likely grow massively in power thanks to her shop, more than any other God besides Hecate, and that was because of her power relying on knowledge, and her bookstore brought massive amounts of that.
As Wanda gazed at the stacks of books, she smiled as they all flew into the back room to be read and sorted later. And as she did this, she had only one thought on her mind.
'...I've gotta get more Godly customers!'

That's the end of the chapter!
I expect for Athena to become a regular at her shop, as I think it would make a lot of sense for her to. And like all Gods/Goddesses, she was immensely arrogant and rude in the beginning, but will be growing now that she knows the difference between her and Wanda, well, at least a fraction of the difference.
Anyways, have a good day!
