NICO P.O.V
I was unimpressed. A strange looking phantom with a hood had just come into my compartment and then harry waved his twig-oops I mean wand, and nothing happened then he fainted, and everyone started going haywire. Then I decided to see if that thing was from the underworld, I knew it wasn't Greek so maybe Roman?
"Lucius Annaeus Seneca" (a/n its begone in Latin and I got it from translate sorry if its wrong)
And much to my surprise the thing left so it was from Pluto's domain. Everyone stopped panicking and after a while harry woke up. Hermione explained what happened and Ron asked me how I did that, so I did some quick thinking and said
"I'll explain later just a second" and I left.
Now I needed to think of an explanation and fast. I could say that in my old school we practiced wandless magic and that was a spell. But I think they would research it and find out it wasn't a spell. Then it clicked I could tell them that it was magic native to Greece because my dad is Greek, and It was not a spell but a word with power. And that wasn't a lie either. So, I returned to the compartment, but I waited outside to listen to the conversation.
"…he could be a normal wizard and that could be a spell" Ginny was saying.
"No way, he didn't even take out his wand." Ron told her
"Guys maybe Ginny is right we should stop pestering Nico"
"It seemed like dark magic to me. And didn't you see the dementors fled in front of him like he was death or something."
This seemed like a reasonable time to enter and so I did. I entered the compartment and immediately everyone went silent. Then Hermione spoke up.
"So how did you do that?" She asked
"I'll tell you but please don't tell anyone else." I could see that Harry was planning on telling someone. A teacher maybe? " So, my dad is Greek, and this is magic native to them its like giving a word power and does the function of a Patronus"
"Oh, then why don't you want anyone to know about it?" Good Question
"Uh because I don't want people to ask me how to do it or teach them" sounded like a lame excuse to me.
"Oh ok. So, you're Greek?"
"No. my mom was Italian, my dad is Greek, but I've lived in America my whole life"
I hoped they wouldn't catch the was, and they didn't.
"Oh cool" and the train came to a stop. We reached Hogwarts.
I look at the castle. Its huge and pretty but I've seen better. I tagged behind the Golden Trio until they reached the carriages. They were being pulled by skeleton horses. I entered one and the trio did too into the one I was sitting in.
"Hey, uh what's wrong?" Looking at their expressions and Ginny and Luna entered the Carriage.
" Do you see them?" Asked Harry Sounding Desperate.
" see who?"
" Those things" pointing at the horses.
" Well duh! Can't everyone?"
"uh no not everyone can"
Before I could find a reply to that Ginny spoke up.
"Did everyone see that Grubbly-Plank woman?" asked Ginny. "What's she doing back here? Hagrid can't have left, can he?"
"I'll be quite glad if he has," said Luna. "He isn't a very good teacher, is he?"
I wondered who they were talking about.
"Yes, he is!" said Harry, Ron, and Ginny angrily.
Harry glared at Hermione until she cleared her throat and quickly said,
"Erm . . . yes . . . he's very good."
Luna was unfazed by this and said "Well, we think he's a bit of a joke in Ravenclaw,"
" You've got Rubbish sense of Humor then" Ron said Rudely
The rest of the ride was uneventful. We then hailed Hogwarts and Professor McGonagall pulled me aside and told me to wait with the first years which just made me feel awkward. Then we were taken to the grand hall which was not as grand as I expected it to be.
What I was not prepared for was the Singing Hat. The Professor got out a hat and put it on a stool and started Singing.
In times of old when I was new
And Hogwarts barely started
The founders of our noble school
Thought never to be parted:
United by a common goal,
They had the selfsame yearning,
To make the world's best magic school
And pass along their learning.
I tuned the rest out. Then students were called up and the sorting hat shouted some weird word. Then professor McGonagall said
"we have a transfer student this year. Nico di Angelo"
I went up to the sorting hat
" A demigod, eh?"
Huh? Was that the hat?
Yes, it's me now your uncle told me you would come
You mean Zeus?
Yes, I do. Now can I have a look at your memories?
No.
" I need it for the sorting unless you want me to say unsortable and send you back home.
Fine you asked for it. And I unleashed my memories. Of my mom dying. Of Percy telling me Bianca died. Of Minos. Of the Titan war. Of the jar. Of Tartarus. Of the Giant war. Everything.
Wow that's a lot- even for a demigod hmmm I feel you would do great in Slytherin, but your uncle told me to put you in Gryffindor and I would rather not be blasted out of the sky so…. wait I have a message from Hecate
Hecate? What is it?
"There are ghosts here, they have my permission to stay here, and you dad knows please don't do anything to them"
Ghosts? I scoffed fine fine whatever
Well then you are in.
GRYFFINDOR! The hat shouted and one table burst into applause.
