Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and also to FireOfRiptide and Silex Wordweaver for telling me it's called umbrakinesis. Also, for Silex Wordweaver, hopefully this has a more feelings!

Hermione: I do not, nor does anyone mentioned in this story from the Harry Potter universe or the Percy Jackson Universe, belong to Alice.

Draco: Goody two shoes mudblood.

Ron: Hey!

Draco: Blood traitor.

*Sounds of fight breaking out in the background*

Harry P.O.V.

"Ron, try to have at least some emotions!"

"Bloody hell Hermione, I was only joking…"

Ron and Hermione were bickering again and it was only the first day of term. What about, I had no idea, but I didn't want to listen to them anymore. Couldn't they just go out with eac h other and not fight half the time? It gave me an awful headache.

Luckily they shut up as McGonagall stood up to make her speech. Silence rippled across the hall. McGonagall cleared her throat and

BAM!

"HADES!" Someone screamed. What kind of curse word was that?

Suddenly the room was full of a greyish dusty smoke. My first thought was deatheaters, but then I heard clangs, like metal against metal. I could smell seawater. It didn't help that everyone in the hall was panicking and screaming. In particular, Pansy Parkinson seemed to be trying to split everyone's ears.

The smoke began to clear. The source of the attack appeared to be two boys… fighting? Oddly, they weren't using wands, but it was proper hand to hand combat. What kind of wizards were they? Both had swords, but one was black and shard-like, while the other was golden and glowing. And the weirdest thing was that they were suspended in the air on a swirling platform of water and the grey dusty smoke stuff. I noticed grey bones whirling in and out as well. But they weren't using wands! It was pretty scary.

They weren't just fighting with the swords- one was controlling the water, making it flock around the younger boy, while the other was making his shadow strangle his opponent. I saw Hermione staring at them, whispering about "incredibly powerful…our age…never seen it…must go to library…" Well, that was Hermione. If in doubt, go to the library.

"Harry?" Ron whispered, and I realised I was frozen like a statue.

"Yeah?"

"Are they like, super powerful or something? The water guy's our age, and the shadow one is like 13! Do you think they're Deatheaters?"

Suddenly, the two boys seemed to realise where they were and that everyone was silently transfixed. The platform collapsed, but before they could fall to the ground the older boy controlled the water so they landed in front of the teacher's table. He still wasn't holding a wand though! I knew you could do some small wandless magic, but on a scale like this?

"Nico, what in Ha- Cerberus's name are we doing here?" The older one looked about my age. That was also when I realised what he was wearing. Or not wearing. Along with the entire female population of Hogwarts.

"That's not much better." The one called Nico muttered, his eyes a lot more subdued than they had been. What the hell were they talking about? They didn't seem to notice that there was an entire school staring at them. However, the tension there had been between the two boys seemed to have dissolved during the fight.

"Hey, I'm trying!" The older boy looked, I recognised with a jolt, very like me. If I were tanned and muscular. Apart from that and his sea-green eyes, we were pretty much the same, apart from the scar obviously. He was lucky. He didn't have the weight of the world on his shoulders.

"Whatever Percy. And stop pretending to be tired from the fight, we both know you aren't." This Nico boy seemed in a mood, but at least he had clothes on. He was very… what was the word? Goth. Right up to the skull ring on his finger he was fiddling with.

"Your fault." The Percy guy smirked and Nico scowled.

Percy was about to say something else, but McGonagall interrupted.

"I see we have two unexpected guests." That was a bit of an understatement. The whole hall was flooded with about two inches of water, the grey dusty stuff was everywhere and nobody seemed to be able to say a word. Unexpected indeed.
