Hermione's POV

Hermione, for what was possibly the first time in a very long time, couldn't concentrate on her homework.

She'd watched Jason and Piper in their Astronomy, CoMC, and Transfiguration classes. But had come up with...nothing.

None of it made any sense. And at the same time, she needed to help Harry. He was nowhere near ready for any task that came his way, everything that had happened before came from luck or chance. That might not happen during the Tournament.

Sighing, she put away her textbook and took out a roll of parchment. First things first, figuring out the newcomers.

Dipping her quill into the ink, she started to list down everything she could think of that that related to the Americans, even though there might be logic behind it, seemed anything but.

By the time she'd finished, it was almost 8 at night. She sat back and looked over what she'd written.

Nico-Not very social, not a morning person. Can summon bones, varying types. Has control over them as well. Ghosts bow down to him. Related to Hazel? Cousins with Thalia, Percy

Percy-Mentioned someone or something named Thanatos. Was able to control water with ease. Natural leader. Quad-wizard champion. Good with pegasi. Dating Annabeth, calls Thalia/Nico cousin

Thalia-refuses to look at boys not from her school, refuses to take off circlet in hair, sister of Jason? Slight anger issues. Cousins with Nico, Percy. Good with a bow.

All three of the above-get into fights with each other easily. Percy keeps mentioning strangling Nico.

Annabeth-Smart, much like myself, dating Percy.

Jason-Thalia's brother? Dating Piper. Likes jokes and gets along with others well. Natural leader.

Piper-Dating Jason, able to make peace between people in arguments with ease within seconds (the last part of this seemed more like perhaps it was just experience to Hermione, but she wrote it down anyways), extremely beautiful.

Leo-Prankster, has a mechanical dragon for a pet back in America, dating Calypso

Calypso-Claims to be the weakest even though a 7th year, extremely beautiful. Dating Leo.

Lou Ellen Blackstone-Ravenclaw, 7th year, exchange student currently staying with the rest of the Ravenclaws (A/N yes, the children of Hecate go to wizarding school in the school year in this fanfic :) ). Good at magic, yet never really mentioned attending New World before, said it was a "camp".

Reyna-natural leader, Studious.

Frank-Friendly, affable, is an Animagus (eagle), dating Hazel. Seems a little afraid of Nico whenever with Hazel and Nico in the same place.

Hazel-Confused whenever someone mentions Muggle things, possibly grew up away from muggles? Dating Frank. Has control over gems and minerals.

Will-Bosses around some of the others a bit, spends most of his time helping Madame Pomfrey. Possible healer-in-training?

Headmaster Brunner-Is a centaur yet wears clothes, good friends with Dumbledore

Other:

~Are all used to prophecies

~Think of the tournament as a joke

~Talk and read in Greek or Latin

~Pegasi, which should be extinct

~Powerful, young, mostly half-bloods according to Annabeth

~Many have scars

Hermoine couldn't think of anything else after reading it over. It was odd, really. And none of it made sense.. Most of it, anyways...

Wait.

Percy had mentioned Thanatos.

Hermione smiled to herself. She finally had a lead she could work with. The next time she went to the library, she'd look up Thanatos, whatever that was.

Now to help Harry...

(line break)

Annabeth's POV

Annabeth sighed. "I can't believe it...We almost revealed ourselves, and if I'm right-"

"You always are, Wise Girl." Percy interjected.

Annabeth gave him a half-smile, before continuing, "If I'm right, Hermione will be heading to the library to look up Thanatos."

"We can always just say that Nico's nickname is Death and Thanatos is technically death..." Thalia suggested.

Nico glared. "No."

"Your name literally means 'angel of death'." Annabeth pointed out.

"It also means, "victory of the people"."

"Hey guys, let's just focus on the bright side. We convinced Nico to finally get a cat." Piper interrupted before the duo could start arguing.

"I don't have a cat."

"Now you do. You basically made that public earlier." Will pointed out.

Nico rolled his eyes. "Well if some people hadn't started talking about prophecies..."

"GUYS! OK, look, we really do need to focus. We have 3 schools to protect, and Percy's in the Tournament. We came here to protect, not just pose as students, remember?" Piper reminded them.

Lou Ellen nodded. "Yeah..I mean, I've managed to become acquainted with quite a few of the students over the years, but...well, I still have to pass N.E.W.T.s. I can probably help with the trust-the-Americans-thing, as well as any of my siblings that are here, but-"

"Wait, hold up. So you're saying that there's more of you guys here?" Jason asked.

"Uh, yes? I mean, children of Hecate sometimes come here or to one of the other schools. I of course came when I was about 14, after finding out who my mother was. I'm the only one here right now though, the others…well, they wren't so hell-bent on coming. I really regret coming mid-October though, N.E.W.T.s are coming up this year and I have to pass to keep up face in this place." Lou Ellen replied.

Will grinned. "Then…If you've been here for the last few years…"

"Yep. I know a good number of the students."

"And probably secret passageways and stuff, right?" The girl nodded. "Then this makes it much easier! You know the students, and the students know you. If anything happens, they'll trust you much more then they'll trust us." Annabeth exclaimed.

Reyna nodded. "Annabeth's right. I can certainly see why Chiron wanted you to come…"

"Which reminds me, I need to head back to the dormitories, or I'll break curfew! I'll be sitting with Ravenclaw tomorrow, but I'll try to meet up with some of you at least once between classes!" Lou Ellen yelped as she ran back towards the castle.

Nico groaned. "Would've been helpful if she'd told us that earlier…."

"Doesn't matter. We still have help now. Percy, how are you going to do the challenges? You can't exactly use your sword, that'd give everything away. And you're absolutely terrible at spells." Annabeth asked, turning towards her boyfriend, who shrugged.

"Actually, the Weighing of the Wands is first." Nico said. Everyone stared at him. "What? I overheard the teachers talking."

Frank shivered. "I don't know whether that's creepy or amazing that they didn't see you…"

"Whatever. Percy, you're allowed one weapon. Since we're labeled a little different from everyone else, being a school from America and all, you might be able to use your sword. Or if you have to use your wand, maybe Leo can make it so your wand is enhanced with Celestial bronze or something so you can use it like a dagger if anything happens."

Jason stared at him. "Dude…that is….actually genius."

"It's called logic."

"You're 14!"

"So? I'm also a demigod!"

"Alright, alright! We get it! Nico's a mini Einstein or a legacy of Athena or something!" Hazel interrupted the two's bickering.

"Look, whatever we do, we can probably do it later. Right now, we still have to figure out how to enchant our papers so they appear in English, which, if you guys don't remember, is pretty much torture for everyone but Frank and Calypso."

"Oh yeah, about that. I asked Flitwick about a spell we could use, so we can just write in Greek or Latin and then translate it." Calypso said, demonstrating.

"Still can't believe they use quills and ink, surely they've heard of pencils and pen?" Leo wondered. The majority of the group jumped; they'd thought that Leo was still in the forest trying to fix a Ford Anglia that he'd found the night before. "What? Do I have grease on my shirt or something?"

"Uh…how's the car coming?" Piper finally asked.

"Oh, that. Eh, pretty good. Could use some tweaks, and there's some magic involved..." Leo glanced at Calypso, who nodded and stood up. "We'll be back later." He said as the couple walked back into the forest.

The demigods still present soon broke up their little party after that, splitting up into groups to try and tackle all the homework they had (with much grumbling from some). Thalia soon returned from practicing with the centaurs and was quickly updated on what'd happened since her absence by Annabeth and Percy.

All was normal (as normal can be for a group of demigods) in the New World camp.

Please leave a review, they help me greatly! And yes, I know, some stuff isn't tying in to what was written earlier. Don't worry, I'm working on it. Slowly. Really slowly. Anyways, thanks for reading!
