A/N: Hey, it's pandagirl12 this time. I hope you like the chapter I wrote. Sorry for a short chapter.

Harry POV

A few minutes after everyone settled into the start-of-term feast, Dumbledore stood up and started to speak. "Attention students. This year witches and wizards from America will be arriving to learn at Hogwarts." Everyone started to talk. Ron, who was sitting beside me said, "America? Where is that?" Hermione answered him, "America is across the ocean, on the other side of the world. I hear that there is a camp for special students called Camp Half-Blood there." Before Ron could say anything, Dumbledore continued to speak, "These students will be coming from Camp Half-Blood, which is located on Long Island Sound." Hermione looked smug, Ron just grumbled. "For many years, we have kept the existence of the Greek gods and their children a secret, but no more will that be a secret. These new students are called demigods or half bloods, as they are the offspring of a mortal and a god or goddess. In fact, the original four founders of Hogwarts were demigods. Please welcome the new students with open-arms and know that some of them may not be as advanced in magic as you'd think. Thank you, and let the feast begin!" As soon as he sat down, every one started talking.

Hermione POV

As soon as Dumbledore sat down, every one started talking. However, I started talking to Harry, as Ron looked overwhelmed by the news. "Isn't this great, Harry? We'll get to have new learning opportunities from them!" He didn't reply. "Harry?"

Still no reply. "HARRY!" I shouted. "Oh sorry Hermione, but I was looking at the Hufflepuff table as the students all look very smug as if they've known this all along," Harry said. Sure enough, I looked over to the Hufflepuff table where the students were all looking smug. I then glanced over at the teachers' table to see what they made of this news. I noticed Dumbledore talking animatedly to Snape who was looking more smug than usual and wearing a long black hooded cloak. He left shortly after talking to Dumbledore. Oh well, it's not like he was going anywhere, or visiting the new students, right? RIGHT? I considered following him to where he was going, but I really did not want to lose house points on my first day.

A/N: Once again, what do you think? Tell us in a review. Any guesses on where Snape is going? *Tee hee* Chapter 3 is going to be up REALLY soon. ~pandagirl12~
