Chapter 4-The Champions

Annabeth

I looked at the demigods in the room. There was the ones on the quest and Draco and Neville. I asked them, "Why are you guys here? Are you really wizards?"

Draco rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah. We sorta had to keep it a secret from you guys."

Neville chirped, "We also had to keep our identities secret. Even going so far as to change his own personality, right Dragon?"

Draco chuckled lightly, but Annabeth glared, "What does he mean Draconis Lucius Malfoy?!"

"I might have been bullying people like Potter, Granger, Weasley, Neville-"

"You bullied Neville! What!"

"Sorry. We are in feuding houses. We have to keep our friendship a secret."

Piper narrowed her eyes, "It seems we all are keeping secrets."

Neville intervened, "What are you guys doing here?"

Leo, who was fiddling with some gears, replied, "We are here to protect Harry from Godly threats."

Draco furrowed his eyebrows, "Godly threats?"

Percy nodded, "Yeah. Gods, Titans, Monsters. Anything can prevent him from defeating Voldermort."

Neville gasped in surprise, and all heads turned toward him. He sheepishly said, "Sorry, it is just superstition to say his name. I am still afraid of it."

Draco asked, "Hey sis, how's camp?"

I shrugged, "Rebuilding is hard. And Neville, your sister Katie is dating Travis."

Neville exclaimed, "Aha! Draco you owe me three galleons! Thanks Annabeth."

Draco groaned and handed over the money.

Piper glanced outside at the setting sun and warned, "Guys, we better get down to dinner. But Draco, you are going to have to sneak out the way you came."

Draco then climbed out a window and used his wand to land safely. Will clapped his hands, "Let's go to dinner. Nico you need to eat."

Nico whitened and tried to run away, but Percy and Jason blocked him and dragged him to dinner.

Harry

I glanced at the doors to see if the Americans arrived. When the doors opened, I hoped for Percy or Annabeth but it was just Draco Malfoy, my worst enemy. Neville came in with the Americans, talking to Neville like they were old friends.

I will admit. I was a bit jealous that Neville was more of a friend than me. Hermione was reading a thick book on mythology. She gasped and Ron asked, "What is going on Hermione? What did you find?"

She just said, "Chiron is a centaur in mythology that trains heroes."

I exclaimed, "What! But could it be the same centaur?!"

"I'm sure of it. He even has the same depiction."

Ron scratched his head, "What does this mean?"

Hermione sighed, "It means maybe Chiron, Atlas, and Hyperion aren't just mythology. Sheesh, Ron, pay attention."

I looked at the incoming Americans, "So that means, the Americans are here for a different reason."

Hermione nodded, "So be careful. They could work for Voldermort."

Ron gasped, "You said his name!"

"Get a grip Ron! It is just superstition."

A voice puzzled, "What is superstition?" We all jumped to see Percy and the Americans, sitting there with smiles on there lying faces.

Hermione stuttered over her words, "S-saying V-voldermort's n-n-name."

She laughed nervously. Percy drawled, "Oooookkkkay."

Annabeth asked, "You guys ready to see who the champions are?"

Ron pumped his fists, "Yes. But it is unfair Harry can't participate."

Nico stared, "It's because of regulations."

"Says you. You can participate. And we don't even know why," I pointed out.

All the Americans glanced at each other with looks of sadness and sorrow.

We all gulfed down our food in silence, trying to avoid conversation with the Americans.

Dumbledore clapped his hands and proclaimed, "This is the moment you are all waiting for. The selection of the champions."

The whole room clapped and cheered in excitement. Dumbledore raised his hands and silence overcame the crowd. Dumbledore walked over to the table with the goblet and waited. The flame in the goblet turned from red to blue. A piece of paper went flying out.

Dumbledore took it and announced, "Fleur Delacour will represent Beauxbatons Academy!"

The petite girls politely clapped but all of them were disappointed as the pretties of the girls walked towards a room in the corner of the room.

The flame turned blue again. "Viktor Krum for Durmstrang!"

All the boys clanged their staffs.

"Cedric Diggory for Hogwarts!" Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw cheered the loudest of all the houses. Slytherin grudgingly clapped.

"Annabeth Chase for Pythia Academy!" (I'm tired of it being Percy. Also Jason wouldn't have the same feel for being the champion. Well to me anyway. Call me bias.)

Percy silently begged Annabeth not to go. She just shook her head and went into the room. Hazel whispered, "Good luck." as Annabeth left.

Chatter began again but then the goblet turned blue one more tim

Dumbledore's face twisted in surprise. He whispered, but everyone heard the words.

"Harry Potter."

Annabeth

Why did I have to be chosen? Couldn't it have been Jason, Piper, or any of the others?

I was waiting for any instructions when suddenly Harry came in. Fleur with a thick accent asked, "Do they want us back?"

I whispered, "Harry, what are you doing here?"

He refused to say anything. All the headmasters walked in, well for Chiron he clobbered.

Dumbledore shook Harry, "Did you ask someone older to put your name in?"

He mumbled, "No."

Karkaroff yelled, "We agreed to the other school! But you get another student!"

Dumbledore reasoned, "We can't stop Harry from participating. He is bound by magic. Plus he his at a disadvantage. He is younger."

Chiron agreed, "Yes. There is nothing we can do."

Everyone left with their headmasters except Harry, Dumbledore, Chiron, and me. Chiron whispered, "Someone tampered with the selection system. You need to investigate it. But remember, Harry is in more danger now."

I saw Dumbledore talk to Harry intensely. Then they left.

I looked at the scared faces of my friends. Jason worried, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes. I am sure. This is powerful magic at work here."

Frank said, "Tomorrow, we are going to have to split up. Some of us on patrol. Others doing research. And the rest with Harry."

I nodded, "Though, tonight we need to go on a patrol. We will split up. Leo, Jason, and Piper. You will be in the back of the castle. There is a bunch of forest where monsters could hide. Hazel and Frank. You will be on the left side of the castle. Nico and Will. You guys are on the other side. Percy and I will be in the front of the castle. Ok."

Everyone nodded. "Good. Now go." I opened the door to Neville's surprise face. He sheepishly said, "I sort of heard you guys. Can I join to? Dragon could also next join next time too. He is quite good with his knives."

Percy replied, "Of course, you can join me and Annabeth."

"Thanks you guys. It has been a while since I felt useful. I am not that popular here."

I put my hand on his shoulders, "Don't worry. You are still our friend."

I am so sorry for the wait. I was super busy this weekend. And I am sorry if this chapter was short. I thank every single one of my readers. You guys are the best. I will try to update Friday. I might not happen, but if not Sunday. Byeeeee-hope4all
