Chapter 11
Classes and Chaos
Hello everyone! I am soooo sorry that I did not update saturday, but I was having difficulties and I wasn't able to access my computer yesterday, so…. I couldn't update. Now I'm ranting. Thank you for listening to me rant about my problems, now onto my lovely reviewers!
BandLife: Thank you so much for your continued support. It always makes me smile reading your reviews! Keep reviewing! 3 And, yes I am ok, just very busy, because I started online school, and because this chapter is long for me.
Emma: Thank you soooo much for all 8 reviews! You are right on all trivia, and it makes me happy hearing that people love my fanfiction!
TheDarkKitten: Thank you so much! I understand the prophecy thing, I'm an OK poet, but I wanted to see what other people came up with…. My day was amazing, thank you for asking, and my favorite food is croutons (idk why I love them so much, they just make me happy XD)
Guest:Wow, that's 3 amazing ways to keep yourself busy!
Hermione: Thank you! I will!
Cabinsevencamper: CABINSEVENCAMPER, YOU ARE A GENIUS. I would have never thought of that! I might make it that like Aphrodite was banished to the wizarding world by Hecate, (like Lester) and something like that….. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Also, with the Voldemort thing, maybe Nemesis?

Annabeth22: Amazing prophecy suggestion, I will use some of it, if you don't mind! Thank you!
Gentleduckling: Thank you for pointing that out, though I researched it further, and oftentimes in Greek Mythology, siblings can and do have children together, but their children end up having some sort of disability of disorder….

Annabeth's POV
The next morning, we woke up to McGonagall peering over our heads. She was in dark green robes with owls on them and had her hair up in a tight bun. She was shaking us awake individually and was struggling with Percy.
"Professor, let me handle this." I said while ushering her aside. She stepped aside, looking skeptical in my skills.
I whispered "I'll make you your mom's blue cookies if you get up quickly." Let's just say she'd never seen anybody get up so quickly in her life. She then left quickly, saying that the staff would get suspicious.
After waking Percy up, I quickly got ready and went into the kitchen to make the blue cookies. Hazel, Calypso, Piper and I made them very quickly and came back into the dining room to chaos.
Frank was a lizard and was trying to escape the Stolls, who were running around with knives, Leo was on fire, Jason, Percy and Nico were playing Mythomagic in a corner, Thalia, Reyna, Neville, Luna, and Draco were teaching Hermione, and Grover and Will were discussing healing techniques.
"BE QUIET!" Piper yelled and made Jason summon the winds and pass out cookies. We all ate in silence, besides Jason and Percy, who were discussing how they were going to beat Nico.
.oOo.
After a very healthy pre-breakfast snack, we headed down to breakfast, dreading the scene that awaited us.
While walking down, we ran into Professor Sprout, who was heading down to meet us. "Oops!" She squealed and fell down with a large stack of papers on top of her.
She popped up quicker than humanly possible and said "I was sent down here by Dumbledore to give you your course schedules! You all have the same schedules!" Then she handed one to Nico and we all huddled around him. The schedule said:

After each getting schedules, we thanked her, and headed up to breakfast, the boys wondering how accurate the 'defense against the dark arts' would be. I told them that it depended on the teacher.
Harry's POV
I woke up after another nightmare about reaching the door. But this time I heard something. It sounded like Voldemort, but….. There were more voices accompanying them. They were deeper and struck a fear I had never felt before.
I decided I would ask Hermione about them later, but I realized that she's now with the Americans and could be learning their way. I decided that I would consult some books about them later.
Ron interrupted my thoughts by grumbling something about Hermione, traitors, and a new date to the Halloween ball. He said "I can't believe Hermione is choosing to hang out with them, instead of us. Like, what do they have that we don't?! I also heard that Jason guy talking about forming a quidditch team, but they know nothing about quidditch! We will DEMOLISH them!"
I completely agreed with him, but then Dean and Seamus, who we'd told about them and they agreed to help us, barreled into our sleeping area. "We got new information about them! They have marks on their arms and that Nico guy kept talking about his dad having lots of problems with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!"
We got ready excitedly and headed out of the portrait hole and were walking towards the Great Hall when we ran into the Americans who were having hushed conversations and the Nico guy Dean and Seamus were talking about was clearing the path of ghosts.
They abruptly stopped talking and Hermione waved to us awkwardly. She walked over to us, expecting a conversation, but we said "Good day." and turned the other cheek. She looked sad, but recovered herself and went seeking consolation from… is that Malfoy? They ARE brainwashing her!
We headed to breakfast and saw that they had not added a table for the Americans. They were gonna have to sit somewhere else. Pffft. Not the Gryffindor table. I was celebrating my little victory, when something not humanly possible happened.
Leo came in loudly and said "Give the Supersized McShizzle some space so I can build a table." Then he started building crazy fast and humming the 'Little Einsteins' theme under his breath. Then suddenly, after 10 minutes, they all sat down on a highly weaponized, metal and high tech table.
All of the surrounding people were immediately jealous and tried to get them to invite them to their table. One unfortunate Ravenclaw tried to sneak up on Connor and ended up getting whacked by a hammer that the table hit her.
They sat down and pulled out a bunch of empty plates. I was confused. Hogwarts food is better than anything they have to offer! But then Dumbledore announced breakfast and food appeared.
Travis pulled out a little vial of bright green fire. They all muttered something and scraped some of their food into the fire. A lot of that perfectly good, going to waste… Ron noticed too, and choked on his breakfast burrito.
"Why are they burning that delicious food, going to waste! I don't understand their customs! Maybe it's a religion or something..?" I put that thought aside and continued eating peacefully.
.oOo.
After a large breakfast, we headed up to Care of Magical Creatures. I was looking forward to talking to Hagrid about the Americans. I know I can trust him…
Once we got down to Hagrid's hut, we saw him having a hushed conversation with Percy, Reyna and Jason. They straitened up as we arrived and went back to join the rest of the class.
"Alright, today we will be studying Pegasi. These majestic creatures can only be found in America, and so I will need the help of Percy, Reyna and Jason. If you will, now." He stepped aside to make room for them.
Percy whistled, Reyna muttered something and Jason looked like he was summoning something. They smiled and waited, silent, for 1…. 2… 3 minutes. Then Lavender and Parvati gasped. "They're BEAUTIFUL!"
Suddenly a large black horse came out of the sky, accompanied by 4 more and an almost see-through horse that seemed to radiate electricity. All of the Gryffindors (except Ron and I. Dean and Seamus got taken over by their curiosity.) ran over to pet the pegasi, except the lightning horse, which all of the boys were fascinated by, but the horse didn't allow them to.
By the end of the lesson, several brave students had ridden Percy's horse and were gushing about Percy, the pegasi, Jason, the class, Percy, and how Hagrid improved. We were happy that Hagrid was liked by everyone, but disappointed that they got so much attention. But that will soon change…
Hazel's POV
I was happy that we were such a success after last night's ordeal, but we had more problems to worry about. Like the next class, transfiguration, with McGonagall.
We arrived and we started to try and turn pincushions into hedgehogs. Jason whispered something urgently to Frank, and then pointed at his pincushion. "Stultus expoliuntur!" He said confidently (stupid hedgehog in latin. I used google translate, so feel free to correct me if it's wrong). Then, when nothing happened, Frank turned into a hedgehog and scurried over to Jason's desk.
Professor McGonagall looked at Jason, amused and pretended like nothing had happened. It all went smoothly until the end of class.
She was explaining the guidelines of the class, and was showing us more advanced forms of transfiguration when she transformed into a cat, to show animagi, earning a round of applause.
Ron then looked panicked and then overjoyed. He smiled and quickly blurted out, before she could continue, "FRANK'S AN ANIMAGI." The class was completely silent for a full two minutes, until McGonagall said "That's very interesting, Mr. Weasley, but it really is none of your business. Would you like a demonstration?"
Ron looked extremely disappointed, but said yes anyway. Frank moved up to the front of the classroom. When he turned into an eagle, a bunch of the Gryffindor girls seemed a lot more interested in him than they were beforehand.
As we exited, all of the girls started swooning and I loudly cleared my throat as I moved through, heading to Flying Lessons. Frank quickly followed and we started discussing the lesson.
"Was Ron TRYING to get us to reveal our identities? He and Harry are getting close….. Will it come out in flying lessons, since you, Percy, Nico and Grover can't go into the air?"
I hoped that we would be safe, but as I headed down to the quidditch pitch, I had absolutely no idea how we were going to keep our cover.
When we arrived at the quidditch pitch, Madam Hooch pulled Percy, Nico, Grover and I aside. "I'm a legacy of Zeus, so I understand your 'dilemma', we will just tell the class…. That it goes against your religion!" We all were not very confident in that excuse, but we went with it anyway.
"Alright, everyone, except you four, mount your brooms!" She yelled at the class. Ron looked at us suspiciously again. "Why not them?" He asked. Percy saved us by saying "We have certain policies that our parents force upon us. So, Jason and Thalia's dad won't let us go into the air. Except for special occasions."
Ron looked sad but mounted his broom anyway. She left and just sent us off on a "Just, do whatever, I don't care." Jason mounted his broom and zoomed off, Harry in quick pursuit.
Jason tried to avoid Harry, but Harry, Ron, Seamus and Dean kept following him. He and Thalia controlled the winds to keep them away, but they kept on. After class, they just kept throwing us dirty looks. What was that all about?
Next was lunch. I pulled all the demigods over and asked if we should go eat somewhere else and talk about our little stalker problem. Frank said he had found a room while looking for a place to train.
We arrived at a seemingly blank wall. Frank paced in front of the wall 5 times, before a door appeared. Inside was an exquisite banquet hall, with a little fountain that spewed mist, for IMing, 4 tables with the plates from camp, SPQR and Camp Half-Blood banners, and lots and lots of weapons, complete with an arena and a replica of the training center at both camps.
"Frank, wow, how did you find this? This is amazing!" I exclaimed while examining the training area. We sat down and had a meal, and talked about Harry and Ron, and how we can get revenge.
Oh well, next class is Potions with Snape, we can try and contact his mom. We heard that Harry is really bad at this class, maybe we can make him worse. I mean, potions are technically liquid, like water…..
.oOo.
When we arrived, Snape smiled at us, and we took our seats and pulled out our cauldrons. Snape said, pretending to be mean and evil, "Today we will be making something that will most likely come up in your O.W.L. exams. The Draught of Living Death. Instructions on the board, and for the Americans, the Greek and Latin version is on the side."
We got to work. Percy decided he would purposely make Harry's bad, and Nico whispered to Snape "But I AM living death. Can't I just spit into my cauldron, and it can be the spit of living death!"
Snape found that hilarious, awarded SPQR 40 points and let him do that. Harry was dumbfounded. How could anyone but his mother make Snape kind? Percy added goose intestines to his potion while he was staring at Nico.
His potion exploded and turned pink. Snape smiled even more and moved over, discarded his potion, and gave him a T (Troll). We agreed to do more. But, we had to focus on finishing the day suspicion-free.
Next was divination. I wondered how accurate this class would be, considering that the Oracle of Delphi was currently residing in a cave at camp half-blood. Well, we shall see…...
We arrived at the classroom, but all that was there was a wall. Then a shimmering rope ladder ascended and we climbed up to the strangest classroom anyone had ever seen.
Reyna's Pov
I climbed up the rope ladder with Thalia behind me and entered a very stuffy and warm room. There were drapes and shawls and poufs. There was a large collection of tiny china tea cups, fit with lots and lots of tea packets.
All 19 of us sat down at a big table with Harry and Ron across from us. Suddenly a misty voice came from the back of the room. "Welcome, students. Today we will be unraveling the mysteries of the universe and opening a portal into a spiritual realm and - Percy, how's Rachel? Is the loss of the gift affecting her?"
She finished the sentence, losing her mystical voice, and instead her voice became one like a worried parent. "Is the thing about my granddad… true? When will it be restored? Is there a quest?" Then she started bombarding us with questions that the wizards would obviously get suspicious at.
Percy whispered "We'll talk about it later. The mortals are watching!" She was quiet for 2 minutes then announced that we would be interpreting dreams. Percy, Annabeth and Nico significantly paled. They didn't want to talk about tartarus…
.oOo.
While we were interpreting Grover's dream about chimpanzees cooking mangoes when suddenly Lavender screamed. "What's happening to her?" She was spewing green smoke and was floating. Percy whispered "I thought that it was disabeled…"
She then said the following prophecy (thank you Annabeth22 and bookworm0522):
Half-Bloods and Wizards shall unite
The Boy who Lived will live in spite
Success comes through cooperation
If not, chaos shall overcome the nation
The Dark Lord gains new allies
Beware the unassumed spies
Other gods shall be necessary
To beat an immortal adversary
Then she collapsed and everyone except the demigods immediately started whispering and pointing. But then the period ended and Annabeth dragged us off to the library to research the prophecy during our free period.
I thought I saw some movement following us to the library, but I concluded that it was probably just another girl coming to try to flirt with Percy or Jason. I decided to drop the subject and find out more.
Harry's POV
That prophecy that Trelawney said during Divination really got the Americans worried. I whispered maliciously to Ron "Should we follow them?" He nodded and said "Invisibility Cloak?" We smiled evilly and quickly exited the room.
They quickly sped off to the library and researched previous prophecies. I heard "Sadie and Carter….. Magnus… Cooperation…. Titans…. Loki…." What did that have to do with anything?
We stayed there for a while, and I think that super hot girl Reyna caught a glimpse of me. I discarded the thought, and instead focused on making it down to dinner unnoticed by anyone.
I was able to make it down, and then took the cloak off, and headed into the hall, expecting to be able to sit at the Americans table unscathed, instead finding it to be populated.
They were sitting surrounded by a bunch of other Hogwarts students. Cho, Parvati and Padma Patil, Angelina, Lee Jordan, Fred and George, and Lavender. Why were they allowed to sit with the Americans and others weren't?
I sat down at the Gryffindor table with Ron, and ate silently while glaring at the Americans and their game of Would You Rather. Seamus and Dean asked them kindly if they could sit with them, Nico squinted at them, and then kindly let them sit by them. HOW?!
.oOo.
I climbed up Gryffindor tower feeling defeated after a horrible day of failure. I hoped that I would be spared of the nightmares tonight. Apparently not. They are very cruel.
Someone unknown's POV
"Ah, Voldemort, you have arrived as we had planned." said a deep, booming voice that sounded as though it was the earth itself. He and another large one sat on a throne, looking down at the dimute figure on the floor.
"Yes,... your honor." Voldemort said, choking out the last part. "The spy is properly placed, as you requested. The Demigods and Harry Potter shall finally be destroyed. And I - I mean we will rule the worlds."
"And who is your godly parent? Have they claimed you yet?" the one that was radiating light said. He looked at Voldemort, expecting to see a sign, but what he saw impressed him even more.
"I'm…. actually not a demigod. I am the host of the Egyptian god of evil, Set. So, that basically gives me more power than a demigod with a god, egyptian magic, and normal magic. Does that count?" He said, trying to impress them.
They both seemed equally impressed by him. They both equalized a plan. Little did they know that I and another were in a corner watching. Voldemort yelled "I will finally destroy Harry Potter!"
The two dark ones laughed. "And we will get revenge on the sea scum's son." Then they removed their long, dark cloaks. "Titans will rule the worlds again! Like our fool brother Kronos failed to do!" Atlas and Hyperion yelled in unison.
Then I turned to face the other eavesdropper, right as he woke up. The boy who lived woke up in a cold, confused sweat.
And that's all! Whew, long chapter for me, I AM SOOOOOOOO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN A REALLY LONG TIME! T-T I will update more often, but probably, like, every two days, because online school started yesterday… Please don't kill me! *runs from reviewers*
