Harry POV
After the whole Quidditch World Cup fiasco, I was staying with the Weasleys. I was trying to beat Ron in chess for the fifth time that day when Mrs. Weasley called us for dinner. Ron and I put away the chess set and sprinted downstairs.
It doesnt get much better than Mrs. Weasley's cooking.
Once we'd all eaten Mrs. Weasley told us that she had an announcement.
"This year, Hogwarts will be hosting exchange students from America and we'll be hosting them until the school year starts."
This, of course, started a lot of questions.
"What are their names?"
What ages are they?"
"How many are coming?"
"What school do they go to?"
"When will they arrive?"
"KIDS!"
Everyone turned in shock to see Mr. Weasley standing up.
"Let your mother explain."
"Well, yes as I was saying, we'll be hosting eleven exchange students. I think they are all fourteen and fifteen. They will be attending classes with you. They're names are.. let me see," Mrs. Weasley took out a scrap of paper from her apron pocket.
"Ah yes, Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Leo, Jason, Thalia, Will, Nico and Calypso."
"Hey mum, where will they be sleeping?" asked one of the twins.
"We're going to magically enlarge on of your rooms, and put them all in there. Apparently they all have to be together, due to some awful PTSD some of them get."
"What's PTSD?" Ron asked.
"It"s short for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It's what happens if you go through something really awful, it can cause nightmares and flashbacks, and certain words can trigger panic attacks," Hermione said.
She frowned.
"I wonder what eleven fourteen year olds could have possibly have gone through that's worse than what Harry's gone through."
"Yes, well, we're not supposed to say Tartarus, Damason, Bob and Arachne around them, especially Percy, Annabeth and Nico, theirs is the worst. They will be arriving the day after tomorrow, so I want you all up bright and early to help me in the morning," Mrs. Weasley said.
This was greeted by a lot of of groaning from all of us.
"Now, off to bed, chop chop!"
Mr and Mrs. Weasley waved their wands and brought all the dishes and stuff in to the kitchen.
Later, Ron, Fred, George and I were discussing the exchange students.
"What do you think they'll be like?" Fred asked.
"I dunno. Maybe they'll be all stuck and horrible. Or maybe they'll be really standoffish. Or maybe they-"
I clapped my hand over Ron's mouth.
"Maybe we should reserve judgement until they get here," I said grinning.
The twins laughed and Ron blushed.
"Yeah, let's go to sleep. It's a big day tomorrow ," George said.
We all groaned.
"Ugh, cleaning."
"Why?"
We talked for maybe another half an hour before deciding to actually go to sleep. I lay down an settled in a thankfully dreamless sleep, my head buzzing with questions.
Annabeth POV
The word quest rang through the room. There was a deafening silence. You could have heard a pin drop. Then it exploded.
"What?!"
"Chiron, you can't do this."
"So unfair."
"We just saved the world!"
"People are so ungrateful sometimes."
"I mean, rude much?"
"DEMIGODS!"
Everyone looked at Chiron, shocked. He never, ever loses his temper.
"You have all been given a quest by the goddess Hecate. You are being sent to a school, where one of you will compete in a dangerous tournament. Your objective is to protect a boy named Harry Potter. The magical world is real. Many, many years ago, Hecate created another world, or group of people. They have survived to this day. In fact, they have thrived. They are all legacies, children of or people blessed by Hecate. They are called wizards and witches."
At this, we all started to laugh.
"Witches an wizards? Do you mean little green old warty grannies that wave sticks and say Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo?" Leo said chuckling. We all laughed some more. Even Chiron cracked a smile.
"No Leo, they are quite normal actually. They do use wands though. The school you will be going to is in Scotland, and it is called Hogwarst School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
The meeting exploded in laughter.
"Piggy pimples," Percy choked out. "We're going to piggy pimples."
Everyone laughed more.
My stomach hurt and I had tears running down my cheeks once Chiron managed to get everyone under control again.
"You will be Shadow-travelling there tomorrow and in an hour, Hecate will be coming to visit, to bless you all with magic. That's all I have to say. "
And with that, we left the meeting.
"So," Percy looked at me. "Of to Piggy Pimples."
I smiled.
"Of to Piggy Pimples indeed."
Review??? I'll probably get in a new chapter by Saturday. If not, then I'm either dead or too lazy.Peace out
