Thank you all who followed and/or favorited. It means a lot that people actually read these stories. I also am writing other stories, so if I don't update in a while that is why. Hope you enjoy. Assume Leo is alive but ToA doesn't happen

Annabeth

We all packed and were informed of the quest. I quickly made my way to Percy's cabin, and saw him trying to shove his belongings in his suitcase. I stood at the doorway, scaring him, asking, "Do you need help Seaweed Brain?"

He jumped and ran towards me. Our lips touched and I was in heaven. For a few seconds. "Of course I need help, Wise Girl. Where would I be without you?"

"Dead." We joyfully finished packing and made our way to Zeus' fist away from prying eyes.

Percy, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Nico, Will, and me.

Nico asked warily, "How are we getting to this school?"

Chiron sighed, "I am sorry child, but shadow travel is quite efficient. Hazel could help you though."

I asked, "Will you be coming with us?"

"I will be there, yes. But I will have to leave occasionally for the campers here."

"Of course."

Will asked, "You ready Neeks?"

He nodded and we all joined hands. Chiron went into wheel chair form. Then we dissolved into shadows.

Harry

It was the Halloween feast. The schools were coming tonight. Dumbledore clapped his hands. All the chatter calmed down and we all prepared to go outside before

Dumbledore warned, "These schools have different magic from us, especially Pythia Academy from America. They have a more challenging curriculum with elemental magic for some of the students and more physical way of learning magic."

Gasps sounded. Elemental Magic is really challenging and physical curriculums are rarely heard of in Wizardry.

We all walked out of the Mess Hall with enthusiasm and excitement.

We waited for a little while but then a carriage with giant horses flew across the sky. The carriage landed and the biggest woman in the world came out. She was as big or bigger than Hagrid. Dumbledore approached the woman.

"Olympe, welcome."

"Great to be here Albus."

She had a thick French accent. Girls in blue came out of the carriage timidly and followed the headmistress to the school grounds.

We waited a while and the next school came. A ship erupted from the lake. Boys came out. What we didn't expect was Victor Krum.

Ron yelled over the screams of the girls, "I didn't know Krum was still in school!"

We waited for another half hour, but the next school didn't come.

Ron asked, "When will they come? It has been a long time now. I am starving."

Hermione said, "Any minute now. Be patient Ron."

Suddenly the shadows darkened and formed into 10 people. One dark-haired boy fell down but was caught by the others.

Wide-eyed, Hermione said, "I thought you couldn't apparate here."

Ron said, "Maybe it isn't apparation. Dumbledore is too powerful."

Hermione scoffed, "Yes. But even everyone has weaknesses."

A man in a wheelchair changed. All of a sudden he became a part man and part horse. I whispered, "A centaur."

Dumbledore said, "Welcome Chiron. Thank you for coming."

We all went back into the Great Hall. Dumbledore announced, "It is Hogwarts' honor to welcome our proud men of Durmstrang…"

Boys with staffs came in. They clanged them in a rhythmic pattern. Krum came in with more luxurious furs then the rest of the school and walked on the right side of Igor Karkaroff.

I looked and saw Hermione blush red as Krum passed. And Ron was equally red at the two of them.

"Welcome the fair ladies of Beauxbaton!"

The girls in blue did a little French walk and some acrobatics. Ron sighed as the beautiful girls passed by.

"Welcome the proud individuals of Pythia Academy!"

The ten people came in with orange and purple flags. A trojan horse was being pulled by all the students. One blonde girl pulled a string and their headmaster Chiron came clobbering out as fireworks exploded behind the groups.

The Durmstrangs sat at the Slytherin table as the Beauxbatons dropped at the Ravenclaw table as the Pythia Academy sat at our table. I glanced at the 10 students. I whispered to Hermione, "Why are there only 10 students?"

"Maybe they could only afford a few people to come. Their school is from America."

Hermione, Ron, and I decided to make small talk with the Americans. There was a beautiful blonde girl and a boy that looked like the more athletic version of me sat next to us.

The girl introduced the others, "I am Annabeth. The boy next to me is Percy." She pointed to my doppelganger.

"Piper." She pointed to a chestnut-haired girl with eyes that had a kaleidoscope of colors.

"Jason." A blonde boy with a scar on his cheek waved at us.

"Hazel." A brown frizzy-haired girl with golden eyes laughed with a chubby Asian boy Annabeth called, "Frank."

"Leo." A latino boy with a sugar-rush was fiddling with some gears.

"Nico and Will." Nico had black hair and black obsidian eyes that looked into our souls. Will was blonde too with a cheerful attitude.

Hermione responded, "I am Hermione. This is Harry and this is Ron."

Percy said with his mouth full, "Nice to meet you."

Ron responded with his mouth filled with bread, "Same."

Annabeth and Hermione exclaimed, "Eat with your mouth close."

Soon dinner ended and Dumbledore's speech began.

"This year Hogwarts is hosting the Triwizard Tournament. We are honored to welcome Durmstrang Institute and Igor Karkaroff, Beauxbaton Academy and Madame Maxime, Pythia Academy for the Gifted and Chiron."

We all clapped politely for the schools.

"Now. Rules. Everyone must be 17 or older, except for the Americans because of their challenging school."

Protests sounded across the room. Ron yelled, "That's not fair. Harry went through more than any other kid did. Why do the Americans not have to follow restrictions!"

Dumbledore managed to calm us down, "The Americans have experienced things that are more than all of you combined. Including you Mr. Potter."

I was furious. I almost died and how did those Americans understand that.

I looked at them but they had a solemn face. I immediately felt guilty that I have never even asked or know what the Americans have been through.

"Now. You must put a slip of paper with your name and school before tomorrow night. Good luck. Now. Bed arrangements. Durmstrang will be staying in the Slytherin. Beauxbatons in the Ravenclaw tower. Pythia Academy in Gryffindor. Now off to bed."

Hermione

I glanced from my book to look at the Americans. The boys were cute. And I was wondering if they had girlfriends.

Harry and Ron came in. Ron asked, "What are you reading?"

"I am reading on the Triwizard Tournaments in the past. Apparently it was stopped in 1792 as a cockatrice harmed three judges."

Ron said, "I hope we don't have one this year."

Harry responded, "Probably not. Let's go check in on the Americans."

We walked over. The Americans all stopped laughing when they saw us.

I sheepishly asked, "How is your stay so far?"

Annabeth immediately answered, "The architecture here is amazing."

"I know right. It is incredible how some of the classrooms are empty and have some magical items hidden in the room."

"Does this place have a library?"

"Yes. It is huge. There is a restricted section you could ask for permission to check. Their are some interesting books on Wizard History."

Percy yawned, "Are you guys down nerding out yet?"

Everyone laughed. Piper apologized, "Sorry for sort of ignoring you guys. We are just trying to fit in."

"No problem," replied Harry with a grin.

Ron asked, "Where are you guys sleeping?"

Hazel pointed to a painting, "We have to say a password and then we have our own little rooms."

"Cool. Are you guys going to try to join the Triwizard Tournament?"

Leo fiddled with mechanical gizmos, "Probably. That is why we are here."

"Of course. We better get to bed."

Piper furrowed her eyebrows, "Percy, Annabeth, will you guys be fine?"

What are they talking about? What is going on with Percy and Annabeth?

Percy nodded and the group made their way to their bed.

I told Harry and Ron, "We better go to bed too."

"Good night Hermione."

"Good night."
