Hazel's POV:
After extensive arguing at CHB with not only each other, but our respective groups had almost started fighting for the rights to follow us to the UK. Well, almost all of our groups. It was already agreed at the beginning on how my group and I will be prioritized. Nico's Guard, Jason's Elite, and Percy's crew got into an argument about which of them would be more suited in information gathering. Thalia's group knew they wouldn't be able to go and were able to abstain from the brawl, but were later pulled in after one of the Crew heard their comments about boys. Finally, we decided that with us will be 11 of my witches, plus myself of course, and then one out of each four groups will follow along as bodyguards for Nico, Percy, Thalia, and Jason. Leaving behind all of our bases will be a heavy amount of the remanding squads. All the remaining Hunters will be gathered together and forbidden to hunt without Lady Diana or Artemis. The Amazons are being recalled to their main warehouse too, with the Crew stationed at CHB, and the Elites are to all remain at Camp Jupiter. Nico's Guard is split between the three major half-blood bases while we are gone. Only a handful of my coven would remain, even so, I have complete trust in their abilities to keep up their research without most of us being there. Along with the other binding places that need to be maintained.
Now, I looked around the Castle we were invited to for their wizard games. Under the disguise of a foreign traveling school, the Headmasters have no idea of what or who we are. The ministry barely has any information on our "school" thanks to Lady Hecate. In reality, this is similar to a research trip for their spells and if there are any promising features or qualities among the people here then we'll decide then. "Now, put your hands together for the Hecate's Traveling school or Sorcery!" We heard our school name be called and the grand hall doors opened. I signaled for my witches to form a circle around the dining hall with me in the center. Nico stood near the head of what looks like the staff's table. He gathered shadows in the hall as Jason blew out the candle lights. Submerging the place in complete darkness. Annabeth and Percy rode in on a wave, using their swords to fight as they circled the center. Jason and Thalia remind near the entrance, both far apart tossing lightning bolts between themselves. Nico's shadows started thrashing out like tendrils ready to drag unfortunate souls to the depths of Hades. Percy's wave which turned into a mini hurricane with me in the center started to rise. Percy and Annabeth still atop. Slashing and stabbing, parrying and blocking, until finally, the hurricane broke into two waves. Separating the two and bringing them to the opposite sides of the hall where the water condensed into a ball of blue glowing energy. Thalia and Jason took out their respective spears, banging them on the ground as lightning and thunder brought life to the Hall for only a moment. Then spheres of lighting, blue with Thalia and white with Jason, formed cackling. I raised my hand and the energy from the five spheres came together to form a star, creating a pentagram with the circle of dark purple energy my witches had made since the beginning.
"Iterum aedificetur et oblata omnia!" My witches and I all shouted as the energy burst around us. Shaking the very castle and blowing away the spirits. Then the candles lit up as if nothing happened with all of us in a frighteningly organized line in the center. The student and staff stared at us, shocked and amazed. Except for the old man, Dumbledore I think, in the center with the long white beard.
I walked up to him and offered my hand, "Nos alumni in schola taveling. Lorem hospitio!" He looked at me with confusion in his eyes. Removing my hood I gave him a smile.
"Wonderful performance Ms?" He took my hand and clasped it.
"It's Madam Levesque, I am the current Representative of my school along with my colleagues, Princess Chase, Prince Jackson, Pontifex Maximus Jason Grace, Hunter Thalia, and finally Ghost King Nico di Angelo!" I announced as the demigods turned when their names were called.
"Well then Madame Levesque, that performance was wonderfully put. The Hufflepuff table welcomes you to join." The old man pointed to one of the tables. We all took off our cloaks, revealing the amours we each wore. My witches in dark purple, mine laced with gold and other precious gems. Percy, Annabeth plus their crew member donned marine blue armor, pearls fashioned on the armor, swirling with mist inside that reflects the depth of the unexplored mysteries of the sea. Jason and Thalia had armor of gold and silver respectively, each with wolf fur-lined among the outer rims for their patrons as their Elite and Hunter wore their normal outfits. Nico and Will each wore stygian iron amour, my brother subtly attracting shadows while his other half sent out waves of homeyness and pulsed a calming glow. Their Guard was hidden within the shadows, away from the crowd atop one of the many medieval pillars in the hall.
As the food started to appear, we rose as one after putting our food. Placing my hand on the table, I summoned hellfire in the center of us all for our offerings. "May I ask the costumes for the offerings?" A nice Hufflepuff asked, "I'm sorry, my name is Cedric Diggory, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Madam Levesque!" The boy, Cedric bowed.
"No worries Cedric, but please call me Hazel. It was an offering to our patrons, as our school travels to many places we must always keep our traditions. So every time we go to a new place or in emergencies, we make offerings to our patrons for assistance or to give thanks." I explained. The rest of the meal went by normally, the goblet of fire was introduced and met with much uproar from the Hogwarts students for the age limit. Mainly from the table with the red and yellow colors. At least that was until Thalia had enough.
"ENOUGH YOU FOOLISH CHILDREN! Don't you people read anything?! Our school has been informed that your headmaster told you about hosting the tournament at the beginning of the year. There have been DEATHS in this tournament! Don't take that lightly otherwise, we WILL intervene." Thalia announces, her form cackling with energy.
"Hunter Thalia, calm yourself. This is a place of learning, filled to the brim of dangerous beings, Cerberueses, Freshwater Merfolk, Killer trees, and Spirits of the damned. I also sense a place where death and poison have been left unchecked? Anyways, I'm sure it's perfectly safe in the hands of these capable and certified educators. Isn't that right King Nico?" I signaled Nico.
He rose with a smile on his face, madness gleaming in his eyes, taking out his sword and stabbing the ground. "Spirits of loss and regret, I call those with or without a host, legal and illegal to serve me!" He shouted as spirits of Hogwarts came to him and bowed. What was surprising was that a mini Percy started screaming a black mist started coming out of his forehead, more specifically his scar. Two others came through the ceiling and merged with that one. Tom Riddle, or at least parts of him, came at Nico's call. "I have judged that you shall all be banished from these grounds and sent to Hades where you shall await trial!" All the ghosts started screaming as they sank through the floor, their forms shimmering and the pale light fading.
Red lightning of energy came straight at Nico, in a flash Will was standing protectively in front of his husband with a golden aurora protectively surrounding him. "WHAT NECROMANCY HAVE YOU PERFORMED BOY?!" Spoke what looked like a husk of a man. A magical eye swirling in his head as patches of fuze grew on his head. He then limped threateningly towards us with his staff aimed at Nico.
"Kerasi! Detain that man now!" Will ordered as he scooped up Nico who fainted due to an overuse of his powers. "Madame Levesque, I'll be taking him to our camp where he can recover away from prying eyes. We'll leave damage control to you as we interrogate this mortal myself." Micheal had already ensnared the wizard with his steel thread, magic suppressants were placed on his neck as the skilled assassin knocked the man unconscious. I looked up towards the staff table after signaling my witches to follow Will to camp and enforce the barriers around the place. In my march towards Dumbledor and the other headmasters were Thalia and Annabeth. Seems the boys went to keep Nico safe along with Will. That was fine since this needed a delicate touch, which none of them had.
"Dumbledore, other headmasters of prestigious magical academies, please allow me to explain what had transpired. Perhaps in an area much more private?" I asked, looking around the Hall as students from all three schools, with some professors, whispered about the current events that had happened.
"Very well Madame, I believe my office should be a satisfactory place as any to discuss these matters," the old man stated.
AN: Replying to Maize, Superboy is NOT brainwashed. It's actually an interesting idea I might use for that story where the heroes fight the three 'kidnapped' heroes thinking the worst has happened to turn their friends against them. Thank you, but no. Superboy has had enough brainwashing for one serious and I feel so bad for the clone. Manipulated literally from birth, by his caretakers, friends, and Lex Luthor (his father!) I just feel that he deserves a break from manipulation for now.
