Hello everyone! YAY! The moment we all have been waiting for (IDK about you but I'm excited to write this chapter!) I just got my own computer a few days ago so YAY! THE SEVEN GO TO HOGWARTS! YAYA Plz review! I'm trying to get to 50 reviews! In the last chapter I said there were 12 teens, since I'm stupid like that, I didn't count Ginny soooooooo there are 13 TEENS! Ok thanks for the time, HERE IS CHAPTER 8!
Leo's POV:
And I thought Camp Half Blood was chaos. Mrs and Mr. Weasley were rushing around like crazed parents on black Friday. They bustled around, putting potion vials into trunks and packing in extra toothbrushes and what have you.
As I was descending downstairs, I caught a glimpse of Fred, He was hastily shoving one of his Fainting Fancies into his coat pocket. Later when we were heading to the car, I saw him again smuggling one of the Puking Pastilles into his shirt. The twins and I had developed a close friendship over the past few weeks. I am happy to say that the Ton-Tongue-Toffees were my idea. As soon as we were loaded into the car (George said that they got access to the Ministry cars since Harry needed extra protection) Hermione immediately started to fill us in with "Knowledgeable Facts" about Hogwarts. Of course Annabeth got all excited when she mentioned the Architecture.
"Oh, and the Architecture is absolutely stupendous! Great marble columns everywhere you look..."
After that, I pretty much zoned out. Don't get me wrong, the internal mechanics of Hogwarts seemed really cool, but my mind was elsewhere. I was thinking about what house I was going to be put in. I really hoped that I didn't go into that Slytherin house. That would suck.
Meanwhile, Annabeth and Hermione were geeking out.
"Are there domes? Oh I absolutely adore their structure!"
"Oh yes! The Great Hall is a dome! The roof is bewitched to look like the sky outside!"
"Do most of the columns morph into arches?"
"They sure do!"
"Oh my gods! Are there..."
Her sentence was cut off by Fred and George.
"Oi! You two! If you don't stop your gabbering about useless brainy stuff, the next person who talks about domes is going to get a Gnome stuffed down their esophagus!"
That shut them up
Ginny and Hazel were deep in discussion.
Ginny, who was only a year older than Hazel, was trying to explain that game Quiddich to her.
"Sooooo, It's like Baseball and Basketball, buuuuut... on a broom?"
"Uh, I don't know, I kinda don't know all that much about muggle sports."
"Oh."
"I'm a Chaser."
"Oh! Do you uh, Chase people?"
"Umm, Kinda, yeah, you could say that."
"Um, cool?"
"There are three rings and there are 14 players, all-"
Harry had been watching them, trying to hold in his laughter.
"Um, Ginny?"
"Yes Potter?"
"Um, I don't think Hazel gets what your talking about."
"Huh? Oh, all right, fine."
Hazel shot a grateful glance at Harry.
Frank's POV:
We had been driving for about ten minutes.
Considering that half the teens in the car were ADHD, I knew something bad was going to happen. Just then, Leo must've felt that the car was too quiet, because the song that came on the radio, meant doomsday.
"Jason."
Silence
"Jason!"
No response
"JASON!"
"Huh?" Was all Jason replied. He hastily took out his ear buds. "Yeah Leo?"
"It's time."
Jason grinned.
Leo started off his horrible Adele song
"I let it fall, my heart."
Jason grinned. "And as it fell, you rose to claim it."
"It was dark and I was over."Leo sang
"Until you kissed um, Festus and he didn't blow up the ship?" Jason sang hastily
"What?" Leo queried
"KEEP SINGING!" Jason screeched.
"My hands are strong." Leo sang
"But my knees are far too weak!" Jason replied
"To build your arms!" Leo sang
Jason sang "Without falling to your feet!"
They faltered as Piper leaned over to turn the dial on the radio. "Hey!" Leo exclaimed. "What was that for?" Jason asked, angry now. "You guys are annoying and Annabeth's trying to read. This is going to be an hour long drive, I do NOT want to start it off with you two singing your stupid Adele song! "Fine." Leo huffed. Leo went to dig something out of his tool belt, and began tinkering. Jason merely put his earbuds back in.
I looked at Hazel. She was nodding off to sleep. To the left of me, Annabeth was reading, and Percy was looking bored.
"Annabeth?"
"Yes Percy?"
"Are you done reading yet?"
"No Percy, I am not."
Percy looked disappointed. Annabeth glanced up at him, sighed, and put her book down. Percy grinned. "I´m bored."I stated. "Then come on over here!" Piper said teasingly. I looked where she was. The 12 teens were grouped up sitting together on the left side of the Limousine. Hazel was now awake, talking with Ginny again, this time with more excitement. Jason, Piper, and Leo were all laughing and talking. Annabeth and Percy were talking with Ron, Hermione, and Harry. The Weasley twins were talking in low voices, probably up to something. Mr and Mrs. Weasley were driving up in front, talking lightly. I got up, and joined them, within minutes, I was chatting away with the rest of the group.
Hermione´s POV:
After a long car ride, we finally got to kings cross station. We all got out trunks into our trolleys and walked up to the brick wall between platforms 9 and 10. The Americans looked at us quizzidly.
"You have to run into the wall." I explained. I think I confused them even more. "C'mon Fred, you first." said Mrs Weasley. Fred and George looked at each other, and bolted to the brick wall together and disappeared. "Those two." Mrs. Weasley sighed shaking her head. The Americans looked dumbfounded. "Wait Mrs. Weasley, what's going to be their backstory?" I asked. Harry nodded. "We can't just walk in the doors and say 'Hey! Here are some new random fifth year American students!" Harry said. Mrs. Weasley smiled and turned to the Americans. "Dumbledore said that your backstory is that you are transfers from the IIvermorny American School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." The Americans nodded. Ron squared his shoulders, and ran at the wall. He too disappeared. Next went Harry. After that it was my turn. I concentrated hard on the wall and surged forward.
Piper's POV:
Oh this was going to be fun.
Because running right into a pretty solid looking wall was going to be fun. Yeah, absolutely exhilarating.
Percy looked at for approval. She nodded her head, and he charged straight at the wall. I kept thinking "He's going to smash right at that wall." But of course, I was wrong. One second he was there, the next he wasn't. I kept telling myself that I should get used to all the weirdness. I'm dating the son of the king of the gods, wizards can run through walls, no big deal.
I was sadly mistaken.
Somehow, I was the only one left who hadn't run through the wall. I looked at Mrs. Weasley and she smiled. I charged at the wall. I braced myself and willed myself forward.
The crash never came.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked around.
My friends were all standing next to me. Leo was grinning like a madman, while Hazel was hyperventilating.
In front of us, was a large scarlet steam engine. On the side of the train was the name Hogwarts next to the Hogwarts crest. A moment later, Mrs. Weasley appeared out of the other side of the brick wall.
"Well dears, make sure to behave..." she turned to us "And don''t be afraid to ask anyone where you classes are and such, Hogwarts can be a bit hard to navigate around." Mrs. Weasley said in a kind voice. We all nodded our heads. She gave everyone a hug. "Well, have a lovely term dears!" We all gathered our trunks, and climbed on board the Hogwarts Express.
I was expecting the inside to be impressive.
Instead, the inside of the Hogwarts Express looked like any other train. Carpeted floors, compartments, different sections. Ron and Hermione claimed that they had "Prefect Duties", Fred and George were going to go sit with their friend Lee Jordan, and Ginny went to go sit with a group of her friends. So that left the rest of the 7, and the boy-who-lived.
Conversation was easy. Percy and Annabeth were chatting happily with Harry, Frank and Hazel were talking in low tones, probably making sure it was out of earshot of Harry. Jason and Leo were laughing happily, Jason and I locked eyes, he smiled and beckoned me over.
"Hey Beauty Queen." Leo joked. "Not funny Leo." I joked back. "Besides, only Jason calls me that." I added in a mumble. "Man, I hope they have internet and Wii-Fee, I made a wireless T.V just for the occasion." "Nope! Sorry Leo, Hogwarts doesn't have any electronics, Mr. Weasley said something about the school 'Blocking Muggle Related Activities'." Jason said halfheartedly. Leo sighed. Later on, Ron and Hermione joined us in the compartment, and joined Percy, Annabeth, and Harry's conversation. When the snack cart came by, Jason and I got an unpleasant surprise when tasting one of the Bernie Botts Every Flavor Beans. An hour and three dozen nasty beans later, we were getting ready to put our school robes on, when the compartment door opened.
Ron's POV:
I was really hoping we wouldn't have to encounter the ferret.
When the compartment opened to reveal that blonde over gelled ferret, I was hoping Hermione had some good hexes up her sleeve, because I was ready to jinx that prat so hard, he would feel it till the end of term.
He looked around and sneered at me, his eyes drifted to the Americans. They were looking at me with unease, they could probably tell that Malfoy was a git. "Well, well, well. What have we here? We have Weasel, we have Big Mouth Granger, we have Potty, and we have... who are these, they don't look like firsties." Malfoy said. "It's none of your business Malfoy." Harry said with irritation.
Percy was looking back and fourth between Malfoy and Harry.
"Who are you? Well whoever you are, you must know that your hanging out with the wrong sort. I can show you who-" he was cut off by Percy, who was looking deadly calm.
"I thing I can tell who is the 'wrong sort' for myself thanks."
Everyone stared at him.
"What?" Don't tell me you've never talked down to him. Guys, that's just sad."
"No Percy, it's not that we never told him off, it's just that, Malfoy told Harry the same thing in out first year, and you literally just said exactly what he said. It was pretty scary."
"Oh." He replied
There was an awkward silence.
Malfoy broke it. "Wow your Americans." He studied the 7 other teens. Hazel looked perplexed and slightly amused. "Well, I'm Hazel, this is Annabeth, Percy, Jason, Piper (She pointed at the people as she said their names) Leo, and Frank. Please get out of our compartment before I break your nose." She slammed the compartment door in his face. "Good riddance." She said as she plopped down on the seat behind her.
"Hazel, that was.." Ron stammered
"Very dangerous." Hermione said
"Brilliant! You should've punched him, then you and Hermione would both be on the How-Many-Girls-Punched-Malfoy list!"
Hermione looked out the window. "Were almost there, you better get changed into your robes."
Hoped you liked it! I PROMISE that in the next chapter they will BE SORTED! I need your help! What house should Percy and Annabeth be in? Should Percy be in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff? Should Annabeth be in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor? The one with the most votes wins! Plz review!
