Percy

When Harry left I started to worry about him, I was suppose to be protecting him and how can I do that without him near me? We followed the group of students into to the giant castle, that Annabeth couldn't stop talking about.

'The way the building has been structured is amazing. It looks like a castle from the medieval period, but some aspects suggests that it isn't-" I cut of Annabeth from her rant.

"Oh be quiet wise girl, you've seen better." She was about to start talking again, but I kissed her so that she would shut up, it worked.

We entered the school and walked into a big room, which I'm guessing was the Great hall. Torches were levitating below the ceiling with the night sky above it. The room was set up to have four long tables and a large aisle down the middle, leading to a grand chair(I have seen much grander though) at a desk full of other chairs. All the students sat down at the tables, and I was about to sit down at a random one when Hermione stopped me.

"We don't sit at that table we sit over here"

"Why?" I blurted out.

"Because," Hermione continued, "each table represents a house. I am in Gryffindor, so I sit here, so does Ron and if Harry were here he would to."

"Where do we sit then?" Jason asked.

"I'm assuming that you sit next to us, considering we have to look after you." I looked over to Annabeth and she nodded, so we all sat down at the Gryffindor table.

Once everyone was settled in Dumbledore,(Chiron's old friend) gave us a welcoming speech, but being ADHD I didn't listen to any of it. Then a lot of little kids filed into the room, I assumed they were the first years. Each child would be called up then sat down and had a hat placed on their head, which screamed out a house, (because in the wizarding world hats can talk), each time it yelled Gryffindor I would have to clap my hands and act happy. Then it was finished, all the first years had been sorted into a house. Dumbledore stood up and started talking.

"This year we are welcoming new students for New York into our school, for the time that they are here they will need a house, so now I will like them to step out front so that they can be sorted." This isn't going to end well I thought as I got up to go to the middle of the room. The teacher holding the hat called out name.

"Chase, Annabeth," she called out. Annabeth squeezed my hand than walked up to take a seat.

"Wow," The hat said, "So much experience, sadness, courage. Won the statue with nothing but your brain, either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Tartatrus, lets see..." The hats expression changed, "Gryffindor!" it screamed, " now get her away from me! I am gonna have night mares!"

Annabeth got up and walked over to sit net to Hermione and Ron, looking slightly pale.

"Di Angelo, Nico!"

The hat was placed on his head, "so..." the hat said thinking of were to put him, "you are a bit selfish and have a sense of self preservation there so I think I will put you in... Slytherin!" It called out. The witch was about to take the hat of when it yelled, "WAIT! Risking your life and sanity to find the location of the doors! Nico, you are a very worthy Gryffindor!" He went to sit with Annabeth.

"Grace, Jason," The woman called. Jason went up to sit down, the hat touched his head for 1 second before it said, "Gryffindor!"

"Grace, Thalia."

"I don't use that name it's just Thalia," she said carmly. The witch nodded and placed was about to place the hat on her head only for it to scream, "Gryffindor!"

"Jackson, Percy," I got up slightly nervous, and the witch was about to place the hat on my head when someone said," I value the hats sanity, Minerva, I would rather you not place the hat on his head." I turned my head to see Dumbledore, standing up.

"Then where shall I put him?" The witch asked.

"Gryffindor" he said without hesitation, the witch nodded and I was told to go sit with my friends, the whole hall was quiet. Awkward.

When I sat down Ron and Hermione just stared at me, but the silence was broken when the Professor called out"Levesque, Hazel."

The hat was placed on her head and it started to talk. "Well this is hard, you haven't lived for while..hmm...I think I'm gonna put you in...Gryffindor!"

She sat down and Dumbledore got up to speak, and again I completely ignored him thanks to my ADHD. Then a whole heap of food was piled in front of me and I just looked at it.

"Well," Ron said, "Eat up." I glanced at the food again, it just didn't look right, I couldn't eat it.

"Eat seaweed brain, or else you will get hungry after on," Annabeth said with a mouth full of food, dam that girl can eat.

"No," I replied.

"Why not?"she asked confused.

"It isn't blue," I replied, she stared to laugh and I saw Jason do a face-palm. Luckily for me Harry walked into the hall bringing my friends attention off me. He had a broken nose and blood was on his shirt, great I thought, we had already failed protecting him and we hadn't even been here for a night yet.

Hermione gasped, "what happened to you!"

"I will tell you later, I'm hungry." At least he got his priorities right, which reminded me,I needed to have a word to the cook about the colour of my food. For now I will just eat this disgraceful, ugly food and sit here talking to my friends about the wonderful year ahead.
