Hello guys! Welcome to the first chapter of Demigods At Hogwarts!

Quite a bit has changed from the original, but I wasn't happy with a lot of it, so I changed it, no point in writing this if I don't like it after all!

The amount of times I've stayed up until 2am listening to All Time Low whilst planning this is not a healthy number, but anyways, the first chapter of the re-write is finally here!

I hope you all enjoy it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter-if I did, I would own a lot more notebooks, books, pens, and blankets-they belong to Rick Riordan and J.K. Rowling.

CHAPTER ONE– Feeling Happier Thanks To You

Nico hadn't felt this happy in years, which was actually a pretty sad thing to say if he was being honest, but it didn't change the fact that he was incredibly happy.

He had friends! And they excepted him for who he was! And Percy was still his friend, even after he had told him about his old crush!

He looked around him at the other campers, they were all laughing and singing along to songs as the campfire roared, and everyone was singing, not just the Apollo campers.

Well, he wasn't but that was because he hadn't sung in years, and he was fairly sure his singing voice sounded crap.

"Nico, you want a marshmallow?" Will Solace-who was sitting next to him-asked, holding the bag out to him.

He'd never had a marshmallow, but he'd heard about them from some of the other kids in the casino.

"Sure," he smiled at his friend, taking the marshmallow, and popping it in his mouth, "that is one of the best things I've ever tasted."

"You've never had one before?" asked Jason-who was sitting on his other side-looking scandalized.

"No, they had them in the casino, but Bianca and I didn't ever try any." Nico explained.

"Well, we'll just have to make up by feeding you marshmallows until you're sick!" Jason exclaimed, with Will nodding along and grabbed another bag of marshmallows.

"Maybe I can just have a few for now, wouldn't want to ruin them for myself after all." He laughed, taking another marshmallow, and smiling at his friends.

He had noticed that he was slowly becoming more like his old self ever since he'd moved back to camp, the excitable eleven-year-old boy who had been obsessed with Mythomagic was coming back more and more with each passing day.

It had only been a month since the war had ended, but he felt like a different person, a happier person.

Nico knew he had Will and Jason to thank for that, while Percy, Annabeth, Leo and Piper we're his friends too, and of course Hazel, Frank and Reyna back at Camp Jupiter, Will had helped him after he almost faded-and stuck by him since then-and Jason had been nothing but supportive and kind to him.

They we're the best friends he could have asked for.

Of course, he knew he could never go back to the innocence he'd had at eleven, he'd seen things he would never get out of his mind, and he'd lost people who could never get back.

Thinking of Bianca still hurt, Nico was certain it always would, but he knew she'd have been happy to see him like this.

His life had changed so much in the course of a few weeks, it was amazing.

"-and that is why you should never agree to play a game of truth or dare with the Hermes cabin." Will said wisely, "It was traumatizing!"

Jason laughed and pointed out that that seemed obvious, but Will just said something about being young and naïve.

"What are you guys talking about? I zoned out." Nico asked, taking another marshmallow.

He should probably stop now, he'd eaten loads.

"The time Will, who was young and naïve, agreed to a game of truth or dare with the Hermes cabin, and ended up seeing people jump over the campfire in their underwear in the middle of the night, who then got chased by harpies back to their cabins. Along with many other similar instances." Jason explained, also taking another marshmallow.

"Ahh, okay, I'll make sure not to play with them then."

"A wise choice," Will grinned, before looking around and frowning, "we should probably go back to our cabins, it's getting late."

True, there were only a handful of campers left outside, he hadn't noticed.

"Yeah, I'll see you both in the morning, night Will, night Nico!" Jason said, heading towards his cabin.

They waved goodbye to Jason, and then Will grabbed his hand and dragged him off.

"Wha-where are we going?" Nico asked, blushing at the contact.

"I'm taking you back to your cabin, because otherwise you'll start thinking again, and you won't get back to your cabin until half past one, and then you won't get up in the morning." Will explained, heading towards the Hades cabin, although he wasn't dragging Nico anymore.

Will was right of course.

"I totally could have gotten up."

"Sure, I've seen you in the morning Neeks, the only thing that gets you up is coffee, and that's with a normal amount of sleep, if you only had a few hours sleep then I'd never get you up."

Will was, again, right.

Nico decided not to answer, ignoring the nickname.

He hated it when anyone else said it, but for some reason it wasn't so bad when Will was the one saying it.

Which didn't mean anything.

Nico said goodnight to Will when they arrived at his cabin, and then went inside and closed the door.

He was actually pretty tired now that he thought about it.

He changed into some more comfortable clothes(he didn't own pyjamas, and the ones the camp store sold were horrible) and climbed into his bed.

Then he closed his eyes and was asleep within minutes.

. . .

Will woke up as soon as the sun started to rise, as usual.

One of the downsides of being a child of Apollo was that none of them could sleep past sunrise.

Even if they wanted to.

And he very much wanted to.

Although most other people seemed to believe that he loved waking up early, he hated it with a passion.

Coffee was a great help though, coffee and a cold shower.

He looked around, and wasn't surprised to see only a few campers up, it was early, only 6.30am.

Will drank the remainder of his coffee and willed his cup to refill.

He was more tired than usual, for some reason, so he was going to need more coffee than he normally had.

And he normally had around 2-3 cups, so he was going to be drinking a lot.

. . .

As Will walked into the infirmary, he waved to Kayla, who was the only other person here, the others still drinking coffee or having breakfast.
Will always waited until Nico(and sometimes Jason, if he was joining them) was up to have breakfast.
They weren't supposed to all sit at the same table, but Will didn't want Nico to have to sit alone, so, he had somehow managed to convince Chiron to let them sit together, and now they always had meals together, sitting at either the Hades or Apollo table.

"Hey Will, can you help me with this?" Kayla called from down the hall.

"Yeah, I'll be right there!" He yelled back, walking towards her voice.

Only two hours until he would wake up Nico, and only four hours of work until he was free for the rest of the day.

. . .

Nico woke up to the sound of someone knocking on his door, which wasn't an uncommon occurrence, as that's how Will woke him up every day(sometimes it was Jason, but it was normally Will).

"Neeks? Are you up?"

"Yeah, I'm up," he got up and quickly pulled on a shirt and some jeans, before heading over to the door to let Will in.

"Morning Will," he smiled at the blonde stepped outside the door to follow him to the dining pavilion.

As they walked, Will started talking about a film he had watched the other day that he thought Nico might like, saying how maybe they could watch it together sometime.
He'd said how it sounded like a good film, he'd love to watch it, and Jason would probably like it too-which, apparently, had been the wrong thing to say, as Will's face had fallen for a moment, before the smile he usually wore reappeared.
Nico wondered what that was about, had Will and Jason had a fight? He'd thought they got along.

They arrived at the dining pavilion and sat down at the Hades table, Will having cereal and some fruit, while he settled for some scrambled eggs on toast.

"Hey guys!" Jason smiled as he sat down opposite to Nico.

"Morning Jason, did you sleep well?" He asked, smiling back at his friend.

"Yeah, you?"

Nico nodded, thinking about whether he should bring up the movie idea Will had had. He didn't want to upset Will, and if it was true that he and Jason were having an argument, then he didn't want to put either of them in an uncomfortable situation…

In the end, he decided against it, instead listening as Will talked about the latest prank the Stolls had pulled on the Demeter cabin.

They split up after breakfast, and Nico headed towards the arena, he had a class to train.

. . .

"Now, this move here is often used to defend against attacks from larger monsters, it's a tricky one, so make sure you're paying attention!" Nico told his class, performing the move on one of the dummies and watching them try to copy it.

There were a few really good kids, but most of them were having a hard time getting this one, which was to be expected.

"Kira, can you help some of the others please? You too Alec." He motioned towards some of the kids who were struggling, and Kira and Alec-who were the best in this class-nodded and walked over to help them.

Nico walked over to some of the kids too, showing them the move over and over until they got it.

"I think you guys have got it now," he said after a while, "lets move onto the last move-"

"Hey, Neeks, you want to come down to the lake with us?" Percy called from the entrance to the arena, where he stood with Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Calypso, Rachel and Will.

"Don't call me Neeks, Percy, but yeah, sure, I'll meet you there." Percy nodded and walked off with the others, and Nico turned back to his class, "As I was saying, this last move is easy if you know what you're doing, so make sure you're paying attention."

. . .

As Nico walked down to the lake, he thought about Will.

The son of Apollo had been acting a bit strange around him for a few weeks now, and it was starting to worry him.

Will said that it was nothing every time Nico asked him about it, but Nico didn't believe him.

He was always looking at him weird, and Nico was never quite sure what he was thinking when he did so, and he kept bringing fun ideas up, only to seem upset for a second when Nico said he thought they'd all like to do whatever the idea was.

Nico was beginning to think Will really had had a fight with Jason, and the only thing stopping him from thinking that, was that Jason never acted like they had.

Maybe he should ask Reyna for some advice next time he IM'd her; she would probably know what to do.

He spotted Will and the others by the lake, Percy, Piper, Rachel and Will were having a water fight(obviously Percy was winning), while the others were laughing about something on the shore of the lake.

He hurried down to join them and was quickly pulled into the water by Rachel and Piper, who apparently needed him on their team.

"Wait, so it's us three vs Percy and Will?" Nico checked, dodging some water that Percy sent his way.

"Yep," Piper nodded, splashing Will and immediately getting splashed back in return.

"And we're gonna win!" Rachel added, charging Will and entering a splashing duel.

Nico grinned, and charged alongside Piper, heading towards Percy and splashing him in the face.

Percy retaliated in kind, and soon, the others on land joined them, and a full out water war begun.

. . .

After Percy had dried them all off, they decided to stay by the lake for a while and relax, which was going perfectly fine until Travis and Connor Stoll arrived.

They ran down to the lake, and at first the only thing Will was worried about was that they had a prank planned, but then they explained why they were there, and decided he'd rather they had pulled a prank.

They had said that Chiron wanted them-all of them-in the big house, and that they had to come right away.

So, the nine of them walked over to the big house, hoping it was nothing to do with monsters, angry gods, or stupidly dangerous quests.

. . .

So, what did you guys think of chapter 1? I'm pretty happy with it, I can't wait to write the next one!

Hope you're all doing okay in quarantine!
