Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the PJO/HP series.

Hoo-boy. Time for everyone to watch me fail at classes...and differing personalities...Anyways, let me know if i start messing things up!

Also, to the person who pointed out I got Hazel's hair color wrong...Thanks for doing that. I always looked at the images, saw red, then forgot to read the actual thing. Whoops.

Nico's P.O.V.

Charms was, in short, a headache.

Sure, Hecate had been nice enough to bless their wands so they weren't waving sticks around meaninglessly but still. Nico absolutely sucked at spellcasting.

In fact, all he was doing was making random bones float up instead of making cushions come to him.

Maybe it was because the "magic" fed off the demigods' energy levels. So people like Percy and Leo, with too much energy, did alright while people like him who could fall asleep on their feet just flunked.

He'd had also the wonderful luck to be paired with Harry Potter. Who looked way too much like a younger Percy Jackson, but with darker hair and darker eyes. Oh and that lightning scar.

Black-haired green-eyed boys saving the world over and over...once was normal, twice was coincidence, three times and Nico was going to start screaming.

Gods, this was annoying. His father still ranted about the troubles Horcruxes and evading death gave him. Heck, he was pretty sure he was the only person besides Lou Ellen that was from Camp-wait, no, New World Academy-that knew anything about this place or world. After all, he'd talked with wizards and witches he'd found in Elysium. It wasn't too surprising.

But it was obvious to him that magic should be reserved for people who actually knew how to do it.

He groaned as a random femur bone came up and hit the teacher, a tiny man called Flitwick, in the head. "Sorry." he sighed.

Leo pretended to gasp. "Quick, someone make a record of this, the Ghost Boy apologized!" Piper and Jason tried not to laugh. Nico shot them all death glares.

"It's quite alright, my boy, but would you care to explain how you are summoning bones instead of cushions?" Flitwick squeaked curiously handing the bone to Nico, who shrugged. "It's...a long story." he muttered.

"Not to worry then! Now, try again. Accio Cushion!" He moved on. Nico concentrated on the cushion, waved his wand, and tried to summon it.

All he summoned was another bone.

Harry stared at him. "Where are you even getting those?"

"Dunno. Might be that one of my cousins pranked me." Which was far from the truth but better then trying to explain his dad was a guy who gave him the power to raise the dead. According to Chiron, he wasn't to mention his dad was the Dark Lord either-apparently the guy the wizards were fighting was called by that name.

"With a curse? Never heard of one that could do that." Hermione leaned over Harry.

Nico was vaguely aware of the attention he was getting from everyone. "I mean, stuff like this is normal at my school. Like my cousin can't ride anything but a Pegasus because otherwise he'll get zapped out of the sky. Not a pretty sight. Well, actually I can't do that either, not that I want to try..."

"Oh. Um, so I'm guessing you guys don't really fly brooms then?" Harry asked, the cushion moving towards him but then stopping abruptly.

"Brooms? Hades no. Some of us probably have been on one but we mostly ride Pegasi. Well, the ones who actually like doing that stuff anyways." Nico was finding it quite easy to put together a cover for his "school".

Leo leaned over from behind Nico, where he was practising with Ron. "Hey Nico, that reminds me...What is it with Porkpie and you that made Porkpie kick you into the water?"

"Oh shut up Valdez. I already had to deal with Percy, now you too?" Nico moaned as Leo grinned.

"Percy's the one that was leading the pegasi, right?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. He's sort of in charge of that kind of stuff at our school and he's our best rider. At least, that's what it looks like to most people." Nico shrugged.

Leo sniggered. "And Nico is the next best."

"Leonardo Valdez, remind me to smack you upside the head later." Nico was feeling the urge to strangle the dude, and he would have if they were back in America, in one of the demigod camps. Instead, he flicked his wand extra hard and growled, "Accio Cushion!"

The cushion zoomed towards Nico, finally cooperating. "Gods, you have to be kidding me." Nico muttered, before getting hit in the head by Ron trying to summon his cushion behind him.

(fast forward)

"Wow, this place reminds me of your part of our school back home." Piper remarked as our class entered the Potions classroom.

"Yeah but without the bones-" Leo added but was quickly cut of by Jason quickly pretending to point at something.

"Merlin's pants, you have bones in your dorm?" Ron asked Nico, who shrugged. "Like I said, curses fly around our school a lot."

"Alright settle down."

Nico glanced up to see a tall thin man stride to the front of the room. He quickly sat down in the nearest available seat, which was next to a boy with platinum blond hair. He was wearing green, the color of Slytherin. From what little Nico had seen, Gryffindors and Slytherins didn't get along.

This would be fun.

"Today we are going to be making the Fraught of Living Death. Instructions are on the board," The man waved his wand and English words appeared on the board, "and you have one and a half hours. Begin."

Nico tried not to groan. English? Please. He was dyslexic.

"Never made a potion before, huh?" Nico turned to see the Slytherin boy smirking.

Nico just sighed. "Are you kidding? I'm dyslexic. How in Ha-Hell am I supposed to read that?" He pointed at the instructions.

"Not a pureblood, huh? I'm guessing you're a Mudblood." the boy said. Two large fat Slytehrins in the table next to them chortled right along with the boy.

Nico had to clench his fists to keep the shadows from creeping in closer and the dead from rising. "I'm a half-blood." he growled.

"Hmph. Better. But I'm still not helping you. I saw you chumming up with Potter and his lot." The boy spat out the P, like it was some kind of disgusting word.

"I don't "chum" with people, whatever that means." Nico said angrily.

A looming shadow suddenly appeared over him. "Having trouble, di Angelo?" the leering voice of the teacher asked.

Nico frowned. "I'm dyslexic."

"And stupid." The boy next to him muttered.

"Quiet, Draco." The teacher said, before turning back to Nico. "Ah yes. I was instructed to give you and your...classmates...instructions and books written in a different language." With a wave of his wand, Nico's English potions text turned into a Greek potions text. "Begin. You are already behind." He moved on to inspect the potions of Hermione and Ron.

Nico quickly got to work. Dr aught of Living Death. What a joke. He himself was living death. He didn't really see a need to make a potion that would do that for him when he could do it himself with pomogranate seeds. Not that he wanted to relive that...

Needless to say, this potion was a pace of cake. Glancing at his friends' cauldrons, he could see that he was probably the only one out of the lot to actually enjoy the class, as Leo's was emitting foul-smelling smoke, Piper was trying to charmspeak her potion to look better, and Jason wasn't even trying anymore. Snape looked like he couldn't make up his minds about the four demigods. Nico smiled internally as his cauldron reached a desirable state.

"Time's up. Fill a flask with the potion and bring it up to my desk. For homework, write out a 3-foot-long essay on the uses of Dr aught of Living Death. Dismissed." Snape said coldly, as he vanished Harry Potter's potion. "As for you Potter, you will write out a report on how and why your potion was wron, in addition to the homework."

Nico breathed a sigh of relief and brought his potion up to the front. It looked pretty decent, to him at least. But the essay...Maybe he could find a spell that translated Greek to English or something.

"That went alright, I suppose. Hey Nico, what are you going to do about Herbology? I think that has to do with plants..." Piper asked as they left the classroom.

Nico snorted. "Trust me. The teacher'll be kicking me out within the first 10 minutes."

"Then what will you do?"

"Try to find a spell that translates stuff to Greek obviously."

"Makes sense." Piper nodded. Noticing a Hufflepuff girl waving at her, she hurried off to say Hello.

Nico kept on moving, following the Gryffindors in front of him.

I'm not going to do Nico vs Plants but you'll soon find out though...Anyways, hope you enjoyed and please leave a review if you wish!
