Hello everyone! I'm giving a shoutout to Demi-Wannabee2 for awesome ideas. This next chapter is quite unique.
-Will's POV-
After Leo worked on the window, he and the others crept out. I gestured to the other pegasi we had brought with us. "Awesome!" Percy exclaimed. Soon we rode off, and into Hogsmeade. Apparently Reyna was stopping here at the Hog's Head (Leo couldn't stop giggling), and Annabeth and Hazel were going to meet us at the shore. There, Percy could control the water, and power the horses slightly.
After Reyna got on Guido, we soared toward the castle. But we had a little nasty surprise there. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and a Ravenclaw girl (At least that's what Percy told me. What the heck is Ravenclaw?) were standing there. They were waiting for us, magic sticks out. Good news: Lou was with us. She could help us with this magic stuff. Bad news: she wasn't with us right now. Dangit.
When we landed, Harry stepped forward. "We would like a duel," he declared. "All of us versus you three," he pointed at Percy, Leo, and Grover. "Tomorrow afternoon, dueling club." Then he swiveled around and stalked off, his friends following him.
Leo, Percy, And Grover looked at each other. They all shrugged. "We still have to find the portal back here," I stated. "Looks like we're stuck here until we find it."

-Percy's POV-
I stood alongside Grover, my Hogwarts robes billowing in the wind. It was a sunny but windy day, which would work kinda against us. Luckily, I could try and summon a hurricane. We stood with Leo, facing against Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, and the Ravenclaw, who was apparently Luna. Everyone had their wands out. Professor Flitwick yelled above the stands. "Three… two… one… duel!" he yelled.
They each yelled out a spell. We dodged, and Grover got out his reed pipes. "Furnunculus!" I shouted. It hit Ron in the arm, and he yelled in pain. Harry, enraged, shot three incarcerous spells toward me. I gulped and ducked. I raised my wand toward the spell. It was a trick that Carter taught me a while back, and I was itching to try it. "I shouted ouut 'Aguamenti,' then enchanted the water. After writing down some quick hieroglyphs on the grounds, a huge green circle appeared. Then the smell of salt and fish appeared. After that, BBANG!
A giant tornado of water appeared, and I controlled it. It spun around, chasing after Harry and Luna. Soon everyone was soaked. Leo scowled at me, then burst into flames. He shot fireballs at Ginny, who used a Protego charm. I shouted, and water burst out of the ground. Ginny was lifted off her feet, and the water solidified into ice. Ginny was trapped. Grover shot a nonverbal spell, wrapping vines around Ron's foot, who was battling Leo. Ron tripped, but shot a Flipendo at Leo. Leo flew back.
Only Hermione and Harry had much luck. She kept creating barriers around her, and kept vanishing them to fire spells. I narrowed my eyes. She was good. I vapor traveled, which only children of the Big Three could do. Nico was still struggling with that, though. I was so going to tease him if we survived this. I appeared behind Hermione. She turned, and I flicked my wand. "Obscuro," I said lazily. Then an Impedimenta. After that, I switched to Harry, who was assisting Luna against Grover.
-Harry's POV-
I yelled, Locomotor Mortis, and Leo's legs snapped together. As he fell, he called out the countercurse and flew towards me. "Aguamenti!" I cried. Then Reducto. The ground exploded, and dirt flew into my face. Grover scowled and made the grass come alive. It pounded my face, and I burned it up. Then Percy appeared, and shot a Stupefy at me. I blocked and fired, pointed my wand at a huge rock. "Engorgio!" and the rock grew to the size of a boulder. "Wingardium Leviosa!" And I flung it toward Percy. But soomehow, he grabbed hold of the rock and pushed it back. He grinned impishly. I snarled, and shouted, "Expelliarmus!" His wand flew out of wnd, and Luna caught it. Percy ran forward, and shot a red blast of light at me, with his hand. How did he do that?! It hit me in the leg, and it immediately went limp. I fell, and Ron attempted to shoot a Relashio at Percy, but Grover Disarmed him. I cried, "Alarte Ascendare," and Grover went flying. He somehow grabbed his wand in midair and yelled, "Anteoculatia!" I dodged the spell and bewitched his wand to fly away. Then flames. Leo appeared, and he created light. He took out a metal contraption, turned a few screws, and flung it at me. I attempted to create a barrier, but it exploded. I flew back, covered in machine grease and mashed potato. I muttered, "Scourgify," and went back into battle. But then water washed over me. Percy then binded me with the full body bind, and ropes. I think he even put up an invisible impenetrable bubble.
We had lost the duel. How?! They were obviously using Dark Magic, how did Percy summon the whirlpool, and Leo burst into flames?!
I ranted this to Hermione and Ron, who were looking sour. Maybe because we lost, but the 'exchange students' were obviously Death Eaters. We had to look out for anything dangerous.
