Chapter 7

Nico

I stood beside Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore. I was here before they were. I was so excited that until now I was still feeling shaky.

"Excited, Mr. Di Angelo?" Professor Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Of course." I said. "It's the first time they've come here. And for the first time I can say that I've done something they haven't."

I don't know why but Professor McGonagall looked at me sadly. But I shook it off. People pity me. They don't know, I don't need their pity. I'm as strong as any other demigod, I am a survivor.

I looked in the horizon and saw something coming. A chariot with giant pegasi was coming straight here.

"Ah, The Beauxbaton Academy chariot."

Hagrid stood in the middle of the field, he held these giant signals. But the driver of the chariot apparently couldn't control it very well. Hagrid jumped out of the way to prevent his admission to the headless hunt.

I know it is bad but I couldn't help but laugh. I looked back into the horizon. I could see them. The giant ship was coming. There were two flying pegasi coming closer to land. It was guiding the ship to the water. It wasn't long until Argo II was finally on shore.

I heard the students gasp in awe at the size of the ship. And the giant dragon for a ship head.

"Nico!" Hazel called. I walked over to them where I was immediately greeted with a hug from my favorite half sister.

"Hey, guys" I said greeting everyone. There were some his and some taps on the back. The most welcoming and very unnecessary greeting of them all was from my cousins.

I think Percy and Jason had it all planned. They both lifted me by my arms and legs.

"Hey Nico!"

"We missed you death boy."

Dumbledore coughed causing everyone to look at him. Jason and Percy purposely dropped me on the grass.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Demigods." He said welcome-ly. "Thank you for accepting our invitation."

"Thank you for inviting us." Chiron said stepping forward. "It has been a while since the two worlds have met."

"Indeed it has" Dumbledore said. "How have you been Chiron?"

"I've been good, Albus" he said "I'll be watching over the two camps. Lupa has been busy with her camp and won't be able to come."

"Why don't we chat sometime soon old friend." Albus said looking at some of the demigods who have started to run around the grass like little kids. "I believe you might have your hands full at the moment."

"I believe I do." Chiron said with a sigh. "Thank you again."

"Mr. Di Angelo will show you where you can put up your camp site."

"Thank you Albus."

"You are welcome."

"Lead the way death boy." Annabeth said teasingly. I led them to the field near Hagrid's hut. Most of the campers nodded with approval. Reyna and Annabeth started to order people to start setting up camp.

"Well…" I said "here we are. We have to set up camp before the introductions start"

"Okay Head counselors and Centurions go over there so we can plan out the demonstration." Annabeth said I about to escape when she spotted me "That means you too Nico, everyone else set up camp"

"Put up tents according to order of Cabin and Cohort," Reyna said then looked over to Thalia. "Can you join the meeting?"

"Sure, Phoebe you're in charge set up camp with the other campers" she said "I also have a bone to pick with Death Boy"

Oh boy I'm in trouble.

"You know what, I think I'll go in the castle they might be looking for me" I said while trying to get away but someone grabbed the back of my shirt.

"Oh …no you don't Death Boy," Jason said holding tight to my collar.

"You got me and Jason in trouble with Thalia now it's you turn" Percy said then I was being dragged towards the other side of the clearing. Man why are they so much older and stronger.

"Oh come one guys let me go she's going to kill me" I complained.

"No, I won't I just want to scare you Death Boy" Thalia said from behind "And it worked better than I thought, thanks guys"

"OK… if this is a prank then can you guys put me down now?" I said the two of them had lifted me and wouldn't let go.

"Yeah Percy let's put him down" Jason said "but where?"

"Um... on the ground?" I said

"Oh how about the lake" Percy said. The next thing I knew Percy held on to my legs while Jason had my arms. They went all the way to swing my body into the lake.

Bleck. The Black lake. The worse looking and tasting lake to be in. I looked down and saw some familiar looking creatures. Grindylows…. Damn it.

I shadow travelled back to shore. Soaking wet and cold to the bone.

"Seriously guys?" I demanded. Making both of them jump.

"How did you get all the way over there?"

"Shadow travel." I said.

"Are you boys done horsing around, we have stuff to do!" Annabeth called. We all looked at each other and went back to the others. There was one thing that nobody wanted. And that was an angry Annabeth.

"You want me to do what?"

"You heard me." Annabeth said. "It would be a real good time to show off the power of the gods."

"You do know that my powers are considered, Necromancy right?" I asked. "And here in the Wizarding world. Necromancy is considered Dark Magic. These people don't understand the difference of Dark and black magic. Do you want me to get arrested?"

"Don't be so melodramatic" Annabeth scolded. "You won't get arrested. You're a demigod not a wizard."

"I spent a year here, Annabeth." I explained. "I am considered as a wizard."

"Oh stop complaining." Clarisse snapped. "Just do what you do and we'll make sure that no one kill you."

"Very encouraging, Clarisse." Jason commented but she just shrugged. "Don't worry, Nico. None of us will let them arrest you."

"Fine." I said "But you guys owe me. Big time."

After a few hours of planning, we were standing in the front of the Great Hall. I remember when I was here last. I was posing as a student. And I was feeling the excitement again.

"Join me in welcoming the demigods of Camp Half- Blood, Camp Jupiter, and the Hunters of Artemis. The hunters entered first running in without making a sound on the tilled floor. They shot arrows that exploded into fireworks. Next came with the campers, a wave of orange teens with swords. Finally the Romans came in, they stampeded into the Great Hall with the golden eagle. Leaving me with Thalia, Percy and Jason.

"Show time" Percy said.

"Show time" I muttered. I pulled my cloak over my head.

I entered the Great hall with a bam. My large black cloak swept the floor. I summoned the skeletons that attacked the campers.

The rest of the wizards gasped as the skeletons started to attack the other demigods. Jason, Percy and Thalia started to attack as offense. They gave me their all alright. I summoned shadows and created a large wall of shadow.

An arrow penetrated the wall. Hit me in the shoulder. I flinched involuntarily.

I fell down on my knees and lay on the floor. Soon dissolving into shadows, behind the others did their part. Jason started to throw off some lightning, Percy threw some water at people and Thalia shot some arrows that destroyed some targets with lightning.

Soon they went to bow at the crowd.

"Please welcome, Chiron the trainer of Heroes."

Chiron galloped into the Great Hall.

"Good Evening, Everyone." Chiron had a look around then asked. "Where's Nico?"

"Nico?" Percy asked.

"Back here." I said. I pulled out the arrow out of my shoulder. "Seriously Thalia, could you have made that any more subtle?"

"Sorry, Death Breath." Thalia said.

"Di Angelo?" Someone exclaimed. "What's that loser doing there?"

"Shut up, you Idiot!" I exclaimed. Then looked at Albus and Chiron. "Please Continue.

"Now I present to everyone, the Triwizard Cup" Dumbledore said pointing his wand at a big metal lowered his wand revieling a big silver cup holding a blue flame. "Those who wish to join the tournament must write their name in a piece of parchment with their school and place it on the flame. We choosing of champions will be on Halloween Night. May I remind you that only wizards and witches who are of age are allowed to to place their name in the fire and Demigods or descendants at the age of thirteen would be the only ones allowed to present their name for the tournament."

"What! That's unfair" Fred exclaimed as well as protests from the other wizards.

"It isn't unfair Mr. Weasley. I suggest you do not underestimate our dear guests" Dumbledore said while Fred shrunk back at his seat under glares of various demigods. "If you wish to see their abilities you could watch their activities during their break time." then he faced Chiron

"Is it okay with you and your students Chiron?" he asked then everyone cheered in agreement.

"I guess my students have spoken, thought they should first look for one of our heads or me." Chiron said "If you'd allow headmaster you they introduce themselves."

Hazel and Frank stepped forward. Frank held Hazel's hand looking more like a bodyguard than a boyfriend.

"I am Hazel Levesque, Daughter of Pluto. Hero of Olympus."

"I am Frank Zhang, Son of Mars, Praetor of Camp Jupiter, Hero of Olympus"

The rest of the demigods cheered at the two. I stepped forward pulling down the hood of my cloak.

"I am Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades, The Ghost King, and Ambassador of Pluto." I said. The students of Hogwarts looked at me not sure if they were scared or awkward.

"Don't forget the Hero of Olympus." Percy piped.

"Fine. And Hero of Olympus and a bunch of other stuff."

I stepped back leaving the other students of Hogwarts stunned. This is going to be a great year.
