A/N: YAY! Chapter 3 edited! YESSS. Alright, I'm starting chapter 4, now.

See you at the end of the chapter! X)

Percy and the campers and hunters followed a tall man, almost tall as the real size of a god with a bushy brown beard.

"I did'n even introduced meself!" he chuckled.

He turned around to all of them, those beetle black eyes piercing to theirs.

"'Am Rubeus Hagrid. Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts and yer Care of Magical Creatures profess'r!" he stated then turned around and continued on leading them to the great big castle that was magnifying it in front of their eyes.

Percy wasn't listening to anything though. He was looking at the carriages most students were getting in. He noticed that invisible horses were pulling them to the castle; only they were going on another direction. He turned towards him and almost jumped in happiness when they were heading to the direction of small boats crossing the body of water that seemed like a huge lake. He turned around to the students again and noticed something peculiar. The boy with jet-black hair, round taped glasses and green eyes were staring back at him with a confused face. Percy wasn't quite sure what face it was he was showing to him. He couldn't perfectly see the lightning bolt shaped scar and blinked a few times before turning his head to Will Solace.

"Wait, you said your our professor to a subject called Care for Magical Creatures? Is that right? That's a class?" he asked, shocked.

Hagrid nodded.

"Ye learn 'bout creatures." He smiled at them. Percy had this feeling that he was very attached to these "creatures", but judging by his smile, he's kinda scared of not knowing what these "creatures" were.

He silently lead them to the boats and gave them instructions.

"A'right. Firs' off, six kids per boa'. The student a' the back holds the-er-uh, torch. B'careful, a'right? And don' worry 'bout falling, the Giant Squid hauls ye up."

The girls stared at him in shock.

"Giant Squid!?" Lyanna asked, and then she made an "ew" remark followed by a snort.

"I' won't kill, I can assure ye tha'"

Just as Percy realized, the boats were magical and they didn't need to row to make it move. The others gaped at the castle as they walked inside.

"Woah, that is huge." Thalia gasped beside me.

Hagrid led them to a long staircase until they were all waiting in front of a big French looking door.

"Woah. That's big!" Lucas Prescott exclaimed.

"Can we just stop with the "wow, that is big!" comments?" Travis asked, scratching his head.

"It's sounding really disturbing right now." Connor exclaimed, smiling.

"Ye wait here." Hagrid said nd with that, he was gone.

"Wait, where is he going?" Grover asked.

"What kind of professor is that? Leaves us in the middle of a big room without any instructions!" Silena screamed.

"Oh. You don't want Professor McGonagall to hear that, dear." A voice said.

They all turned around and saw 4 misty white people floating. Ghosts. Some girls screamed and shook in fear, hiding behind their brothers. But Percy and the rest stared at them as if they're something highly very amusing.

"About to get sorted?" A tall man said. He looked somewhere between his 30s. He wore a scruff around his neck.

"Sorted?" Percy asked. He turned around to look at the room they were about to enter in. Students in four long tables were all organized and old-looking wizards and witches sat in front.

"Uh, guys, I think-" Percy tried to say but the ghosts were taking over their conversations.

The ghosts seemed confused that they didn't know what being sorted meant, but changed their expressions.

"Don't worry!" one said. "You'll be fine! Hope to see you in Hufflepuff!" she and the others walked or floated straight through the wall. Feet shuffling were heard from the bottom of the staircase. Thalia craned her neck to the foot of the stares and turned pale when she turned around. She looked like she was about to faint.

"More kids."

About 20 or more students went up the staircase. Nervous, trembling from fear, and 2 or 3 looked excited. Percy felt hot. His cheeks or his whole face was burning. Getting sorted? In front of these kids? And then Percy thought of the kids he saw inside the room they were all going to.

"Uh, there would be lots of more inside." Percy warned and with one disbelieving look at Percy, girls from the Aphrodite cabin fainted on que.

"Goodbye, Luna! I'll see you in class!" Ginny happily said, waving goodbye.

"She's not that bad." Harry said. He hadn't known why he said it, but he just felt like it. The others stared at him with one eyebrow arched up.

"That's you, not us." Neville said, turning his head on his Mimbulus Mimbletonia. The plant that he's been babying since in the carriage.

"Mate, you both see what we don't see." Ron shrugged.

Harry gave him a glare and Ron shut off the subject. Professor Dumbledore didn't have much to say but "Let the Sorting begin." First years were sorted to various houses. By the end of it, Professor McGonagall didn't put the hat away as usually she did. She stayed rooted to her spot just as Professor Dumbledore stood up.

"Welcome back, students. But the sorting hasn't been finished. Please, if you all kindly listen to my explanation. I would feel very appreciated." He looked at our direction. He must have seen us talking, thought Harry.

"Mythology is an important thing, well not THAT important, is it?" He smiled. "As Voldemort has come back, we are all doing our best to try and find out where his death eaters are. They are increasing and it is much harder to find and defeat them. Some witches and wizards are too terrified of the dark wizard and flee away. Hogwarts students don't do that, do they?" All students nodded.

"Getting to the subject, helpful wizards and witches are decreasing and I figured out why don't we get some extra help? As I have said earlier, mythology." He smiled at all of them, Harry knitted his eyebrows, showing confusion. "Mythology is believable, just like our world. Magical and different. Children of the gods and goddesses are here to help us, as they also need our help. It is very complicated to explain, but I do hope you all understand. Now, may their sorting begin!"

The doors of the Great Hall opened and almost 20 - 60 kids were standing side by side in the middle of the room. They had orange t-shirts with the writing "Camp Half-Blood" in them, and a couple of other girls who were wearing silver attire. Mysteriously enough, they were carrying all sorts of weapons that wizards and witches don't usually use. Swords and daggers hanging on their hips, a whole quiver of arrows behind their backs with a bow, and all sorts of things no wizard has wielded. They didn't even have a single wand. Everyone else was scanning the half-boy half-goats of the crowd while Harry stayed focus on the same boy he saw outside. No sign of him.

"When I call your name, you will seat down on the stool and wait for the Sorting Hat to get you sorted." And with that, Professor McGonagall started the slightly bit unusual names.

Thalia didn't even bother to look at the hundreds of kids staring at them. There were too many of them and she felt worse than when she felt when she was driving Apollo's sun chariot a day ago.

"Grover…" Percy muttered.

Grover looked up at him, stopping to chew a tin can just to ask what he was so concerned about.

"What? You know what happens when I'm nervous." He stated as the old lady with a tight bun and green robes called out the names.

What was her name again? Oh, right.. Professor McGonagall… is it? She looks like a kind of teacher Annabeth would love… Annabeth..

"Children of the Big Three. Grace, Thalia!"

Thalia and Percy sighed in unison; thank the gods that she was not mentioning their godly parent. She walked to the stool with a stiff back and sat down. Percy could feel her lightning blue eyes looking at him. The moment the Hat scrunched to look at Thalia's head, everyone gasped.

"Woah, it could talk!" Nico gasped behind Percy. He turned around to look at the ten-year-old and smiled back.

"GRYFFINDOR!" it yelled.

The five tables clapped, but the second table on the right clapped and cheered the loudest. Thalia forced her lips to thin line and smile before walking up to them. Percy could have sworn she said "Good like, Kelp Boy."

"Jackson, Perseus!" Percy's eyes widened and he sighed. Why did they have to mention his full name? Why didn't she just call me "Percy"?

He walked slowly, his face almost as red as Clarrise's hair bandanna. He closed his eyes as he felt the Hat on his head, and a billion pair of eyes on him.

"Hmm, yes. Clever as a Ravenclaw but also very brave to make a perfect Gryffindor…" Percy was slight scared that it would take forever for the Hat to decide. The Hat squirmed on top of Percy's head.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

Thalia joined the cheering, introducing Percy to the rest of the house. Grover gave him a thumbs up and Bianca smiled up at him.

Percy and Thalia were relieved by the moment they sat on the Gryffindor table, that only the two of them were a Big Three's child, until Professor McGonagall called out two more names. The newest recruits of Camp Half-Blood.

"Di Angelo, Bianca!" Percy could see Bianca adjusting her quiver and whispering something to Zoe before calmly walked to the sorting stool.

"Yes, yes. I see…" The hat murmured to himself. The campers stood still on their spots, a small whispering making the wizards and witches confused; the hunters quiet as usual.

"SLY-RAVENCLAW!"

The farthest table on the right cheered. Percy noticed that they were wearing blue and silver striped ties instead of the gold and red of the Gryffindors. Bianca smiled and headed for that direction, she was greeted by a lot of older students.

"Di Angelo, Nico!"

Nico went pale as he tripped half-way to the stool and the students in front of Percy laughed. He and Thalia turned towards them. One of them continued to laugh, making Percy uncomfortable.

"Just like Neville on our first year." He said, he had flaming red hair and freckles. He faced to another boy who liked a lot younger, with black hair and a cactus plant in his hands. He shook his head and turned to Nico.

"Perfect for Slytherin…" they heard the Hat say. Nico looked like he was sweating in anticipation on the stool.

"Why does he remind me of Malfoy…?" A bushy haired girl asked her friend. Percy's eyes went wide when he recognized the one and only teenage boy in his dreams. It was him. And he could perfectly make out the lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. He gave the girl a glare and she shrugged and shut up.

"SLY-HUFFLEPUFF!"

Nico's shoulders sagged he walked to the table cheering for him. Bianca smiled at her brother and he returned one, too. Thalia made a choking noise.

"Hufflepuff? What kind of name is that?"

The bushy haired girl looked at her and explained.

"Everyone mocks the Hufflepuff house. I wish they got more respect. They're way better than what others think." She said with a sympathised look on her face when she looked at Nico's table.

"Why?" Percy asked just as both the Stoll brothers got sorted in Gryffindor.

"Because they think they're wimps." A girl identical to the red haired boy said. Silena, Lyanna and Clarisse got sorted in Hufflepuff, much to Clarisse's dismay. Grover and the other satyrs were in Hufflepuff, too. Beckendorf and some of his siblings were in Ravenclaw with some other Athena campers. The only hunters to be in Ravenclaw was Zoë , Bianca and some girl name Ayanna. The others were Gryffindor and some of the boys of the Ares' cabin, Castor and Pollux and a hunter were in Slytherin.

"Slytherins. I hope your friends don't end up with Malfoy." The bushy haired girl said. And that was how the fight between the siblings started.

As soon as the food came, they all introduced themselves. All of the campers groaned as two almost identical boys named Travis and Connor met the Weasley twins.

"Please don't tell me they play jokes on people, too." Hermione asked, wishing that the Stoll brothers were completely different from the Weasley twins. Much to everyone's dismay, her wish didn't come true. It was then Harry noticed that she was the only one who wasn't touching the food.

"These food are amazing." The girl with the spiky black hair said, who's name was Thalia. Ron said something like "I woah wight…" and Hermione grunted in his comment.

She was still on this S.P.E.W. thing and she said that she wouldn't stop until she got more members. When asked why she wasn't eating, she explained and Travis soon commented; "…That doesn't make any sense…"

"As usual, because NOTHING makes no sense for you, Stoll." A girl with black hair and brown eyes said, rolling her eyes at him as she took a scoop of her pudding.

"Oh shut up, Katie. I don't get why you're not Athena's kid." Travis threw back, which got him a lot of glares and pointing at Percy when his head lowered as he poked on his meat.

Harry was quite shocked when he turned around after the second sorting. As soon as he saw Percy, Harry made a "I-can't-believe-face" and left it at that when they introduced each other. It was quite creepy dreaming about a boy his age at this time. They were all having a great time and that was when the ghosts showed up.

"Hello, new and quite odd Gryffindors." Nearly Headless Nick said.

"Hello Nearly Headless Nick…" Neville greeted while treating his plant.

Nearly Headless Nick rolled his eyes and his tone changed to an annoyed one.

"As I have been telling you for the past 4 years, I prefer Sir Nicholas, please."

"Nearly Headless Nick?" Thalia asked, looking up from her strawberries.

Hermione turned to her and quickly said; "Don't ask if you want your appetite lost."

This caused confusion to the new students, which made Percy ask why he was called "Nearly Headless Nick".

As if asked for the millionth time, he took a clump of his hair and yanked it to his side. They groaned and turned away as soon as they saw his almost detached head.

"Oh gods, I don't think I can finish my pudding." Katie said, sliding the plate in front of her. They all laughed and Harry focused on Professor Dumbledore, who was already standing.

"Shut up, you lot. Dumbledore's up." Harry said.

"Now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of-the-term notices." Dumbledore said.

"First-years ought to know that the Forest is out of bounds to students-" he turned to the Gryffindors."and a few older students ought to know by now, too."

The trio smirked and Harry muttered "Never gonna happen." Which caused Hermione and Ron to laugh.

"Mr. Filch our care-taker." Professor Dumbledore pointed to the usual man with a scrunched up look on his face and a cat on his arms. Everyone turned to his direction. Thalia and the others almost choked the air from laughing.

"Has asked me, for what he tells me is the four hundred and sixty second time, to remind you all of that magic is not permitted in corridors between classes, nor are a number of other things, all which can be checked on the extensive list now fastened to Mr. Filch's office door."

"Four hundred and sixty second time?" some camper asked from behind while Harry scanned the teacher's table. Hagrid wasn't there, instead it was an odd looking woman sitting on his chair. Harry also saw Dolores Umbridge. The moment Harry recognized her; he made a disgusted look, which caught Hermione's attention.

"We have Professor Grubbly-Plank, filling in for Professor Hagrid this year in Care of Magical Creatures."

"Wait, he was here earlier. He was the one who lead us to the castle." One of the campers said. Hermione turned to her.

"He was?"

"Yeah, but he ran away just as the ghosts appeared."

They all turned back to Dumbledore, "-Professor Umbridge, our new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor." Harry rolled his eyes and turned to the others.

"She was in my hearing." Hermione, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny stared at him. "She was one of the people who wanted to expel me. What's she doing here?"

All of them shrugged, just as muffled gasps were heard. Umbridge had interrupted Dumbledore and took on a speech. Her high-pitched noise made Harry's hair tingle. The others must have felt it too. Almost all of them were shuddering. Nobody listened to Umbridge's speech. Halfway through it, all of them were whispering to each other for no reason at all. They all clapped unenthusiastically when she finished.

"That woman is scary," Thalia commented.

Harry had to laugh at this, but soon his laughter was interrupted by the sound of Hermione's urgent voice.

"Ron! Come on, we have to lead the First-years. We'll see you at Gryffindor tower!" She and Ron ran for the door just as the first-years were out.

"Come on, I'll lead you to the Gryffindor Common Room." Harry said, standing up just as the other did.

On the way there, they all bumped into their other campers…and not to meantion the hunters.

"Percy!"

"Hey Grover!"

"Clarisse!"

"Hey Nico, what's up?"

"Travis, Connor…with Katie! Ha!"

"Silena!"

"Thalia and Percy. Wonder how that's going to work out!"

Harry, Ginny and Neville had to stop, they didn't want to bother the joy in their faces as they said hello to fellow campers and siblings. Then three more girls joined in. The two of them were almost identical, and Harry recognized his fellow Ravenclaw. The oldest one with her long black hair and a silver circlet. The other had coppery skin and neatly braided hair, and the last one, blonde hair and those ice cold blue eyes. Penelope Juti, 5th year Ravenclaw.

"Hello Percy, Nico." The younger one said. That must be Bianca. His brother, Nico smiled as a response.

"Hey Bianca, Zoë ." The one called Zoe pouted. She must hate Percy so much.

"Hey Penny," Fred and George piped up, smiling. Penelope looked at them as if to strangle them and choke them to death.

"'Ello, Fred, George." Her usual accent were the most distracted the lot and made Travis and Connor try hard not to laugh. She turned red and turned to the Stoll brothers.

"What is so funny?!" she exclaimed, restoring her natural accent; English.

"You're accent," one of them said.

Penelope licked her lips and smiled at them.

"I'm glad you find it funny." She said and rolled her eyes and turned around to leave.

"I'll you see at Ravenclaw Tower."

"Who's that?" Thalia asked.

"Penelope Juti."Bianca responded for Harry. She turned to Nico and grabbed him to a corner and, as siblings; she was giving him explanations and so.

The crowd behind them started to walk away impatiently.

"A great deal addition to the loser house." A familiar voice said behind them.

They all turned behind Harry and a familiar dirty blonde haired boy smirked at him.

"Watch it, Malfoy, my sister's in that house." A boy with dark brown hair warned. Harry figured that he must be the girl Clarisse's brother.

"Shove off, Malfoy!" Fred yelled. "If you don't want your bed to be filled with lots of ferrets." George said, raising an eyebrow.

Malfoy made a hesitating look and turned to one of his pals.

"What do you think, Dobrev?" he asked behind his shoulder.

"Much as hard as you try, Weasel, you can't outsmart us." He smirked at the twins. Alistair Dobrev was almost like Malfoy, except for their facial features of course.

Fred almost turned as red as his hair, but George and Ginny tried their best to talk him out of punching Malfoy and Dobrev out of their wits.

There was an intense stare off between the Slytherins and the Gryffindors which were interrupted by the stressed voice of Severus Snape.

"Malfoy, Potter, move it. You're blocking the exit." He said, eyeing Harry with the same "I'm-disappointed-in-you-and-your-behaviour" and walked away with the Slytherins down the dungeons.

"Where are they going?" Nico piped up. They just noticed that he and her sister had finished talking and that Zoe and Bianca had already left.

"Down the dungeons, their Common Room is down the dungeons. Your Common Room is down the kitchens. Better catch them up." Ginny answered, smiling warmly and helping him and the rest of the Hufflepuff campers look for their house mates.

"Where's the Gryffindor Common Room?" Percy asked, his hands on his pockets, looking grave.

"It's on the East. Follow me."
