sTHE HALF BLOOD EXCHANGE PROGRAM

The Goblet and the Champions

I don't own Percy Jackson nor do I own Harry Potter

Third Person POV
When the demigods arrived in the great hall they were amazed at the decorations that floated above their heads. The Halloween theme décor gave the hall a mysterious feel. In the corner of the room sat a large fire place, the flame burnt brightly. The feast began as most feasts at Hogwarts did; Dumbledore said a few words and the food magically appeared on the plates. This still left many of the guests in wonder. Once the food was finished and cleared Dumbledore stood up.

"Now, the most exciting part of the night is here" He yelled to the silent hall "The selection of the Champions."
And with this the goblet of fire began to crackle and pop. The flame that was usually blue became a bright red colour. Suddenly a large gust of wind filled the hall and all the candles had been extinguished.

"And the first champion is…" The flame began to grow and elongate. A single piece of parchment flew into Dumbledore's hand

"Viktor Krum from Durmstrang" With this the hall erupted into a mass of sound; people were cheering and clapping as a large male with thick eyebrows walked up to collect the slip of paper. He was quickly ushered into a room leading off from the great hall.

As soon as the silence entered the hall again the goblet began to spit and crackle. The flame erupted and out of it came another piece of burnt parchment.

"And the Beaxaubatons champion is Fleur Delacour" Dumbledore announced, the hall again erupted into a large amount of sound. The hype was amazing; Percy could have sworn that he saw two girls from Beaxaubatons crying. He assumed that it was because they hadn't been selected as the champion. She quickly made her way up to the front and into the room beside the goblet. Dumbledore waited until the noise settled the goblet again began to fire up. A Piece of parchment flew into Dumbledore's hand.

"And the third champion for the day is… Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts"

This time the hall erupted into a deafening roar. Students began to chant 'Diggory, Diggory, Diggory'. Cedric climbed up from his seat and walked up to the front to collect the parchment, he also joined the others in the room.

"Ready to find out whom our champion is Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked Percy

"Yep" Percy replied

"Don't forget the bet Annabeth" The twins called from across the table

"Don't worry" She sneered. Annabeth surprised Percy, she must be with out a doubt serious who was going to be the Camp Half Blood Champion.

The goblet again began to shoot out red sparks and crackle.

"Last but not least the Camp Half Blood Champion is Percus Jackson" Dumbledore announced

Percy was surprised but something in the back of this mind connected the dots. He stood up and walked towards Dumbledore. The noise around him was piercing, Percy took the small piece of parchment with his name on it. He moved into the room with the other champions. Each of the champions stood around the open fire place. From inside the room the champions could hear nothing of the events proceeding outside the room.

"Hi Percy" Cedric said, "So, how does it feel to be a champion?"

"Fine, I guess" Percy answered; he could tell that Cedric was trying to make conversation and fill the silence. But soon Harry entered the room, he was quickly followed by Dumbledore, Madam Maxine, Karkaroff, Snape, McGonagall, Bagman and Crouch.

For several moments the sounds of argument filled the room. Percy stood at the back of the room trying to say out trouble. It didn't concern Percy that Harry was also going to have to compete in the tournament. It was always more fun with more people. Anyway Percy didn't need the fame or the fortune; he liked the idea of remaining an unknown face.

"I don't have a problem with it." Percy said simply, everyone seemed to listen

"There is nothing we can do now anyway" Ludo Bagman said "The game will just have to commence"

After a brief the group left the room to join the other students in the Hall. For the remaindered of the night the demigods planned their game of Capture the Flag. So far all the wizards but Draco and Pansy had decided to join in the fun.

At the end of the feast the demigods went up to get ready for the capture the flag. Everyone meet in the great hall at half past eleven. The castle was almost empty except for several ghosts. Percy, Annabeth, Jake, Travis, Connor, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George made their way through the corridors to the great hall.

"Do we have to wear this?" Questioned Ron

"Yep," Travis replied

"If you don't you might end up with a sword through your heart" Percy added

The Stroll brothers started to laugh

"Hey, dude do you remember that time when Percy…" Connor chuckled

"Yeah, and then he started to chase after us" Travis added

"Not funny guys" Percy yelled "I could have died"

"Yeah, but you didn't seaweed brain" Annabeth defended

"But if I was like any other Half Blood I would have" Percy retaliated

"But again you didn't" Jake said from behind the group

"Wait… Percy why didn't you die?" Hermione asked

"I swan in the River Styx" Percy replied "I'm almost invaluable, except for my Achilles Heal"

"And where is that Percy?" Asked Fred

"I don't think I should tell you" Percy answered "And besides we are here now"

Percy was right of course, the group stood outside the great hall. Dumbledore and all the participates of the game were there.

"Good Evening All" Dumbledore said "Before we go outside and begin we have some business to attend to. Now because we have no official teams I have made some. The red team is; Castor Black, Annabeth Chase, Connor and Travis Stroll, Fred and George Weasley, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Justin Flit-Fletcher, Matthew East, Percy Jackson, and Ron Weasley. The Blue Team is; Cedric Diggory, Cho Chang, Clarisse La Rue, Draco Malfoy, Drew Williams, Jake Mason, Katie Gardiner, Luna Lovegood, Nico Di Angelo, Padma Patil, Pansy Parkinson, and Thalia Grace. Now the team captains are Draco Malfoy, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, and Harry Potter. Now for the rules; the boundaries are between Hagrids Hut, the lake and the castle and the river that run through the forest. The flag must be placed somewhere where it clearly can be seen. Only two people can guard the flag. There is to be no maiming or killing, and spells fourth grade and lower may be used. Red sparks must be sent up when the game is over. The game will officially start in fifteen minutes."
