Prologue: There are Introductions to be Made!

AN: Hey guys! I'm back! I see you noticed my name change, huh? Yeah, that's just to make life easier. I have the same username on AO3, which I'm slowly starting to warm up too, as well as tumblr. So! I am continuing the HP/PJO crossover, known as Clash of the Wizards. I haven't forgotten about it. Also, I completely forgot about that independent PJO fanfic. Also, I'm cleaning up a one-shot I wrote for Fourth of July that will be posted soon. So, to keep you up to date, I'll make like, a fanfic/fanart tumblr account. Or a Discord chat. Whichever you guys want. But, with out further ado, here's The Sports Age of Hogwarts, a fanfic that was a total whim and now I feel like will destroy everything. So, here we go!

Prologue

"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who love without love."

~ Albus Dumbledore

Harry Intro

Today was the start of a new year. The feast the night before was fantastic, minus the broken nose, but that had been easily fixed with a bit of magic. Oh, did I forget to tell you? I'm Harry Potter, and I'm a wizard. Fifteen years ago, I defeated the Dark Lord, Voldemort, when I was a baby. Now, at fifteen, I go to the best magic school in the world. Hogwarts. Now, this place has lots of good memories, especially since I was raised by the Dursleys, my dead mother's sister's family. I've been raised by them for almost my entire life, but ever since my eleventh birthday, things had changed.

Now, even before eleven, strange things had been happening when I got emotional. Once, I set a Burmese Python on my cousin Dudley. Another time I blew up my Aunt Marge like a balloon. But this year was different. In an attempt to save Dudley's life from Dementors, dark creatures that feed on your happiness and only leave despair, I got sentenced to a hearing with the Ministry of Magic. Now, I didn't really have anything against them, but lately they've been falling apart.

The minister, Cornelius Fudge, denies the return of Voldemort, and is even saying that my mentor, and probably one of the only people I can trust, Professor Dumbledore, wants to take over the ministry! Even after countless times of denying the position!

Then I met up with my two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, at 12 Grimmauld Place, the place my godfather wrongfully convicted, Sirius Black, owns, and now the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Of course I didn't know that at the time. But, now at Hogwarts again, I felt as if nothing could go wrong. Boy, was I wrong.

Draco Intro

People always have high expectations for me. My father, Lucius Malfoy, an esteemed member of the Ministry of Magic, barley gives me the time of day. And when he does, it's usually about how much he expects from me. How he needs me to do these things for the family. The worse part is, that even with the power of being a Death Eater, he's still a coward.

You've probably guessed it by now, but, yeah, I'm a wizard. Before I was even born, I had some power. In the house of Malfoy, power is everything, even if you have to lie and cheat. Which, is usually how power comes into your hands. My father sent me off to Hogwarts with high expectations. He was especially mad when I got second to a muggle-born. Later, he just kept an eye on me, barley commenting on what was happening. Lately we've been getting farther and farther away. Not like we were ever close. Whenever he acknowledges me, he just scoffs. Later at night, I can hear my parents arguing, presumably about me. I don't know what it is, but even at school life isn't any better. I'm not reveled for my status as a Malfoy.

And Potter in my class doesn't make it any better. Not like it ever was. All I wanted to do was be friends. Maybe even a friendly rivalry. But of course, my stupid father had to ruin everything. But it wasn't exactly even his fault either. I guess it was always my fault, even when there were instances when I could place the blame on someone else. Even in the magical world, not everything could b fixed with the wave of a wand and some magical words. No matter how hard you try. My name is Draco Malfoy, and sometimes, I just want to disappear.

? Intro

Just keep running.

The words echoed like a mantra in my head. My feet pounded on the wet, dewy grass outside of Hogwarts. The early morning fog rolled off the Black Lake. The erratic beat of My Chemical Romance pounded in my ears. But I just focused on one thing.

Just keep running.

Being late for your introduction because of a late night run was one thing, but also being late for breakfast was another. Not like that mattered. I already had breakfast. But, I had to get acquainted with at least some of my students before the day started. But old habits die hard. And being a former Olympian didn't help at all. That sharp competitive edge was still there. Even if you're a coach to some newbies, that doesn't mean you can't be harsh, right? My foot slipped on some wet grass, gravity pulling me towards the ground. Not that I was worried. I waited until my face was inches from the ground before carefully extending my arm before pushing up, landing myself in a one armed push-up position. My arm was slowly slipping in the grass, but I barely noticed. My mind had wandered, as it tends to. ADHD they had said. To keep you on your toes. Before long, my mouth was full of dirt.

"Bleh," I spit the grass out of my mouth and picked myself up off the ground. I checked to see if there was any dirt anywhere else. As well as being a new 'teacher', I was also an assistant. I couldn't be late to meeting my future peers. I resumed running as the song changed to the upbeat tempo of Ride by twenty-øne-pilots, making my way to the entrance of the giant stone castle.

Just keep running.

AN: How was that intro-thing? Okay, okay, I know. It sorta sucked. And this mystery character is, literally me. Except not. I'm not trying to make this a self-insert fanfic. Really. So, just PM me or shoot a review. Shameless self promotion right here. Read/Review Clash of the Wizards. Alrighty, good luck out there my friends!
