~~Nico's POV.~~

As soon as Casper places the hat o my head it speaks, "Casper was right you are like her." I was freaked.

"Ya I know most people are when I am placed on their head, I don't know what it is maybe it's my way with words or my calm attitude."

I heard Casper in the background, "Right maybe it's your way with words that have people running away and your attitude that that keeps them away."

The hat must have heard this because he said, "Shut up child, you know nothing and you are always putting you life in danger. I don't know how you or your sibling survived the world."

I saw Casper and Percy both have surprised looks on their face and then they both stick their tongues out and then look away. "Wow those two are like twins."

"I couldn't agree more, we swear that they were separated but they always deny it."

The hat was surprised to say the least, "You agree, I like you, now I have to rub it in. Hey Casper, I like this person way better then you. Anyways where to put you? You are very dark so Slytherin would be very good for you but your Bravery is more so I you will be in Gryffindor."

I guess I am happy I get to be with Casper, I do know her, look in her direction, Annabeth and Thalia was doubled over laughing while Casper and Percy were having an argument.

"Guys the hat told me my house." Casper walked over with a laughing Thalia, "Well go sit down Thalia's turn." As I took off the hat it spoke again, "Be careful who you chose as your friends."

~~Thalia's POV.~~

Nico walked away with a confused look but I got over it when I sat down and Casper put the hat on my head.

"Oh another one. Wow and you all seem to be here for a reason, wonder what it could possibly be oh well not my problem. Your loyalty is great but you would risk everything to help a person in need there for you will be in Gryffindor."

I smile, I would be with Nico. Before Casper took the hat it spoke again, "I would be careful about who you would save." I got up and went over to Nico.

~~Annabeth's POV.~~

Casper took the hat off Thalia and she walked away like Nico with a confused look. Maybe by talking to the hat I will figure it out, oh well I just want to get into a house and get this mission done.

"What house do you think I will be in?" I ask Casper, she gives me a confusing smile and looks at the hat how looks like it's looking back at her, "Well in my opinion because you are smart it would be Ravenclaw but considering you ran from how at the age of 7 because you had an interesting dream, that's courage so Gryffindor but let the hat decide."

She places the hat on me and walks over to where Percy was

.

"Why ask the girl?" The hat said.

"She's my friend and it seems like she knows a lot about the houses."

"I do agree with her that those houses would be great for you, but it's hard to say which one would be better."

"Why are we sorted?"

"It goes back hundreds of years, Casper, the teachers, and some seniors know but other than that they don't know because it takes a while to explain. I told Casper the full story in about 5 days."

"Oh well what house should I be in?"

"Considering what Casper said I would say Gryffindor." The hat yelled, though he started to whisper, "Be careful about the things that you let happen?"

Casper took the hat off my head and said, "Will you stop freaking people out with your cations signs."

She looks up at me, "Though I would say don't listen he tends to be right about the warnings. You should get to your table." I walk down the stairs, I need to find out more about this.

~~Percy's POV.~~

I watch Annabeth walk down the steps with a determined look then sit at her table looking back at me I turn to my right and find Casper right next to me with an annoyed look.

I was surprised to say the least, I jumped then yelled, "Gods you freaking scared me." She gives me a 'really' look and saying, "And I thought I was jumpy, Are you ready?" She motions to the hat.

I look at the hat and back at her, "No, what do think, I trust you more than a hat." She smiles and places a hand on my shoulder, "I think that you are being a big baby and will get into Gryffindor just like the rest of us." I smile but she continues, "You'll be fine. If you can stand going up to the Gods you can stand an annoying hat for 2 minutes. Plus If anything happens I am here, so are Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia." She puts the hat on my head, "I'll be over there."

As she walks away the hat starts to talk, "Wow you sure put a lot of faith in her, don't you think it's too much."

I shrug, "Maybe but every time it come to my life or her's, she steps forward first." I smile thinking about the time.

FLASHBACK

We were kneeling in front of dad, while all the other Demigods were behind us, "I have realized that I only need one child, this means that one of you will have to die. I give the choice to you."

I look at Casper who was looking at me for an answer. I look at dad and say, "This is not fa-" I was cut off by my sister's voice, "I will" I look to see my sister on her feet, courage written all over her face.

I look at dad and his face was confused. There were gasps behind me. Casper was the person that everyone knew and came for advice when I was around. Dad finally said, "Why would you risk your life just to save your brother?"

I slowly get to my feet and look to my sister who she had this loving smile, "Why not? I love my brother, I wouldn't want him to suffer when I could have taken him place."

Dad smiles, "You have passed the test Casper. You would have risked your life for the one you love that is something my children should learn, Percy did now so have you." He nods and disappears.

I look at Casper who is looking down. She sways and leans into me, I wrap my arm around her shoulder. She looked up at me, "I will not be doing that again," then laughed.

PRESENT TIME

"Wow I can't believe she did that I knew she was brave but she seemed to turn into a different person when she is determined," the hat said.

"I agree with you. She's not the jokeful girl that we all know, she turned into the person that won't stop till she's dead. And I need to protect her."

"I see you are very close, I will let you be in the same house as her to protect her. So Gryffindor. But I want to warn you, your sister is in terrible danger and you will need all the help you can get." Casper walked towards me. "See was it that bad."

She took the hat off my head. "Well get going I have to put the hat away I'll see ya at the end of dinner, If I'm not back then somethings wrong."

She smiled and walked down the stairs, but she didn't trip. I know something bad is going to happen.
