DISCLAIMER: If I was Rick Riordan, I would not have killed off Silena or Beckondorf. They were the cutest couple ever! If I was J.K. Rowling, I would not have killed off Dobby, Lupin, or Tonks.
NICO POV:
Man, I needed to make friends. Draco was sitting next to me in the Great Hall while we ate breakfast. He was the only friend I had… and he's such a jerk. I looked down, trying not to look at the Camp Half-blood kids who actually made real friends and looked happy.
"Hi, I'm Jennifer Johnson!"
I looked up from my plate, thankful for the distraction. Draco was trying to get me to agree that mud-bloods were the worst kind of wizards. What's a mud-blood anyway? "Hi."
Jennifer was a very skinny girl, with long wavy dark brown hair down her back. Her hazel eyes twinkled with pure interest.
"Aren't you from America?"
"Yeah."
"Merlin's Beard! You don't know how much I want to go there!"
I actually felt Draco smirk. I gave him my death stare (literally), and his smirk instantly disappeared.
"I can tell you about it," I said, "If you can tell me about here."
"I would love to!"
I guess I just made a friend.
ANNABETH POV:
Breakfast was over, and everyone was heading for their first class. I had Potions with the Hufflepuff House. I walked through the hallways, down to the dungeons. I really loved the designs used in this building! I made a mental note to take notes so I can use some of them in my Olympus project. I soon reached the classroom and I walked inside. It was chilly and dark, giving the whole place a mysterious atmosphere. I smiled as I spotted Grover and Crystal.
"Hey!" I said, greeting them. They introduced me to their new friends, and we all sat down as the room started to fill up. When everyone sat, a man barged in the door.
"Open your books to page 657." The man said, glaring at us as we flipped through our books. "I am Professor Snape, and I will not endure any stupid acts in this class." He hissed, mainly at us. He had greasy, jet black hair and cruel black eyes.
"Today, you will be brewing the Invigoration Draught. This potion will invigorate the drinker. You are to follow the instructions in your book and use these ingredients," He paused to swish his wand at the board. A list of materials magically appeared. "You are to turn in your potion at the end of class."
I glanced at the board, ready to get the first ingredient. I was kind of excited – it was my first magical lesson! But my enthusiasm vanished as I saw the first material.
Three Spiders
I gulped as I moved toward the material cabinet. I slowly stretched my hand to grab the jar full of living spiders. My hand shook as my fingers touched the lid. I carefully grabbed the jar, trying not to touch where the spiders were. Since I was so concentrated on it, I bumped into somebody and dropped the jar. The glass jar broke in an instant and the spiders started to crawl all over the place.
I screamed in terror, as the spiders faced my direction. This was a nightmare for any Athena kid.
"Who did this?" asked a furious voice. Professor Snape took out his wand and flicked it, fixing the broken jar, then pointed it at the spiders. They instantly went in the container. I raised my hand, "It was me, sir."
His black eyes bore into mine as he yelled.
"Detention!"
PERCY POV
My first class was Defense Against the Dark Arts. We shuffled through the halls, past the other students.
"Wonder what our first class will be like." Thalia whispered, so the others wouldn't hear.
We walked in a large room, with the teacher's desk up front. We all sat down and watched as the class filled up.
"Good morning, students!" exclaimed a small, squeaky voice.
The whole class mumbled, "Good morning, professor."
Apparently, this wasn't good enough for her. "Now, let's try this again. Good morning students!" She exclaimed, again, beaming at us.
"Good morning, Professor Umbridge!" I rolled my eyes - you won't believe how many teachers I had who were like this.
"Now, take out your textbooks and quills – no wands please." At this, everyone looked confused. The class hesitantly put away their wands.
"Please turn to page 5, and read silently."
Oh boy, this was going to be a long day.
