Chapter 1: The Girl in Orange
It was late in the afternoon of October 29, 1994. Harry, Ron and Hermione were all by the shore of the Black Lake, under one of the trees.
"I wonder who's the other group that's coming, for the tournament" Hermione said
"Probably another school of wizards" Harry said
"Or maybe Aliens!" Ron said playfully
The two looked at him as if he was crazy. Then Harry faced Hermione again "Are there other wizard schools?"
"Of course." Hermione said "There's, of course Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. Then there's Salem Witches institute in America. Mahoutokoro in Japan. And I think there's another one in Brazil."
"Anyway, we will be able to find out tomorrow anyway" Hermione said getting on her feet and sweeping off dirt from her skirt. "Come on its time for dinner"
Hogwarts was having a normal feast that night, when Filch suddenly ran into the door of the Great Hall running towards the Head Table holding his cat. Dumbledore leaned down as he gave his report and the entire Great Hall exploded into murmurs. Harry notices that Hagrid was missing.
"What do you reckon happened?" Harry asked finishing the last of his food
"With Filch?" Fred asked
"He's been like that forever" George said
"Or probably something with his cat"
"Or…"
Professor McGonagall tapped her glass with her fork. "May we have your attention please?"
Dumbledore was now standing as dinner ended. "Well it seems that some of our guests had arrived earlier than expected. We share this world with Muggles, but it is known that we share this world another powerful force. Well I think it is best for them to explain these themselves."
Hagrid slipped into the room from the back door and to the teacher's table. He gave Dumbledore a thumbs up then sat in his seat.
Dumbledore, McGonagall and, strangely, Snape stood in front of the head table and on the podium, to welcome the new comers.
"Welcome Campers of Camp Half Blood"
A dozen kids in armor swarmed into the hall looking like they were running from something. Then another set of kids in a different shade of armor charged into the room for attack. They all fought and all of the sudden a girl with long black hair and pale skin was on the podium in front of Dumbledore. Beside her was another boy with really big muscles. At first sight the boy looks more terrifying, but when you look at her eyes. You can see a pair of stormy grey eyes that looked as though they were looking into your very soul.
"Halt!" she exclaimed that echoed thought the entire Great Hall. Her voice was as loud as Dumbledore's and as authoritative as Snape's or McGonagall's.
The kids all looked at her with authority and stopped. The big bulky guy stood behind her like her second in command.
"We are the children of the gods!" she said in a loud voice "May we present Chiron, the Immortal Trainer of heroes!"
The double doors opened and galloping echoed into the hall. A Centaur, half human, half white stallion, galloped into the room. Dumbledore went over to Chiron and gave him a very kind and brotherly handshake.
"Welcome, long time no see, my old friend"
"As you, Albus"
"Of course, only a man as old as Dumbledore will know the immortal trainer of heroes" Snape muttered. Albus Dumbledore chuckled. The girl on the other hand glared at Snape.
Then she did what no one else expected. She jumped and grabbed him into a hug. What was stranger was Severus Snape, the most stoic Potion's master in the world, hugged her back! Everyone was looking at them flabbergasted, except for Albus Dumbledore who had a twinkle in his eye.
Hey everyone here is the first chapter of one of the stories I had wanted to write when I finish BTS or DMD3. Tell me what you think.
