*dodges bricks* I AM SO SO SO SORRY THAT THIS CHAPTER'S LATE. I didn't really have much inspiration for it, and it's shorter and late and I am soooooooooo sorry. I figured, I may as well just upload what I'd written so far, because it's better to have a short chapter that wait forever for a chapter that's probably not much better. I'm not too happy with how the chapter turned out, but I guess it'll have to do. Again I am so sorry, and on with the story!
MEETING THE WIZARDS (I don't have a good name for this chapter)
JASON
We were on the plane, and Percy was white as ghost. Nico wasn't any better. Every time we hit a spot of turbulence, their blood drained from their faces even further, and they mumbled to themselves, probably praying that they wouldn't get blasted out of the sky, knuckles white from gripping the armrests. During a particularly rough patch, Percy actually fainted. I think Will lost circulation in his hand since Nico was gripping it so firmly.
Percy woke up a little while before we landed, and both he and Nico were a bit shaky walking out. I scanned the airport, and spotted a man with red hair holding a sign, that I thought had our names on it. I nudged Frank and pointed them man out, and Frank confirmed that the sign did have our names on it. We all walked over.
"Excuse me, are you Mr Weasley?" Hazel enquired politely.
"Yes I am Arthur Weasley, and that you must be the exchange students from America."
As we walked out to his car, he starting talking to Percy, who was leading the group, about the purpose of rubber ducks, and how a toaster works, that sort of thing.
Percy glanced at Annabeth with a 'please help me' look in his eyes. She then took over answering the questions.
~TIME SKIP~
HERMIONE
Mr Weasley had left to go pick up the exchange students a while ago, and we were all downstairs waiting for them. I heard the door open, followed by footsteps accompanied by chatter. Into the room came a group of teens followed by Mr Weasley. They were chatting amongst themselves when they came in, but fell silent when they saw us. They fanned out into a sort of triangle shape, with a boy who looked kind of like a tanned, more muscular version of Harry and a blonde girl with grey eyes at the point. It was pretty clear that they were the leaders. Mrs Weasley fretted over them for a couple of minutes, and she introduced herself. I stepped forward.
"Hello, I'm Hermione Granger," I said politely.
We took turns introducing ourselves. Two identical looking boys near the back of the exchange group exchanged looks when Fred and George introduced themselves. Then Harry introduced himself, and he sounded a bit apprehensive. Recognition flashed in their eyes, but they didn't react the way I thought they would. Instead of fawning over him or being in awe, they just nodded in his direction, like they did for all of us. I could tell that Harry was relieved.
The exchange students then took turns to introduce themselves.
The Harry Look-a-Like went first.
"Hi I'm Percy Jackson." He grinned lopsidedly. The blonde girl next to him took his hand.
"I'm Annabeth Chase."
"Jason Grace," was a blond boy with electric blue eyes.
"Piper McLean," was an extremely pretty girl with choppy brown hair.
"Frank Zhang," a boy similar to a baby sumo wrestler.
"Hazel Levesque," a girl with dark skin, curly caramel-coloured hair and golden eyes.
"Nico di Angelo" a boy with pale skin, black hair and unsettling dark eyes.
"Will Solace," a boy with golden hair, tanned skin and bright blue eyes.
"Travis and Connor Stoll," the two boys with curly brown hair and mischievous expressions. They were identical apart from the fact Travis was taller.
"Leo Valdez Bad Boy Supreme," which the nickname earned him a punch from Annabeth and Piper, was short and reminiscent of one of Santa's elves.
And with that Mrs Weasley assigned rooms for all the Americans to sleep in, and we all went to bed.
I don't think that any of us expected to wake up to a bone-chilling scream.
Do you have any idea which of the wizards should be demigods? I'm thinking of having Neville, Draco and Luna at least, but if you have any ideas on who else they'd be greatly appreciated.
