I do these chapters for you guys. In the beginning, I wasn't in the total mood to write this story in hope my other will be a huge success. But you guys showed me that every story matters. Now, I put both time and effort into all of my stories. : )

Saya4217- You are absolutely correct on both parts. Your theory is why I made demigods somewhat immune to their own diluted magic. And you are somewhat correct for the question. Draco also bullies Harry because of his own insecurities. But you are right for the other question. I appreciate your love for the story.

Paige(Guest)- I hope this chapter is up to your wanting of length. I usually do around three pages of writing in a Times New Roman 12 font. But if you keep on reviewing, I will do a double update for all of my readers. ; )

I don't not own nothing. Double negatives. Thinking makes my brain flourish and cry in pain.

Chapter 8-They are WHAT?!

Harry

I watched on my bed as Ron trifled through his stuff. I asked, "What are you looking for, Ron?"

"My mum gave me some truffles. I was going to share some with the.."

He whispered, "The demigods."

"Just say Americans. It's much easier."

One of our bedmates, Sean asked, "You guys are going to meet the Americans? That's awesome. People around the school call them the cool crowd and it would be amazing to be their friends."

Ron bragged, "As a matter of fact, we are their best friends."

Sean's jaw dropped and he went down on his knees, begging, "Please. You have to introduce me to them."

"You could just talk to them." Standing at the entrance was Hermione with her arms crossed. "Seriously boys, it is that easy. C'mon Ron."

We all made our way down the spiral staircase and crossed the Common Room to a portrait of a guy with a billowing white beard on a stormy gray cloud with lightning flashing around. Hermione gasped, "The picture finally makes sense! That's Zeus!"

Ron tilted his head, "You sure 'Ermione. That just looks like an old man riding a cloud."

"Guys can we argue this later." I knocked on the wall beside the portrait and the picture came to life. It said, "We have been expecting you."

It swung open to a room similar to the Gryffindor Common Room but smaller. There was a small bookshelf pushed to the wall with chairs around it. A fireplace crackled but it was a weird translucent green flame instead of regular fire. There were doors lining the room.

Probably where the demigods sleep, I thought. In the middle of the room was a huge circular carpet with many gods and goddesses on them and bean bags surrounding the ornate carpet. A glass table was in the middle of the circle and covered in books and scrolls.

Sitting down was the demigods and, wait…. What are Neville and Luna doing here?

Hermione shrieked and she pointed to the worst monster in the world. Draco Malfoy sauntering out of the bathroom looking out-of-place in the room.

Ron yelled, "Malfoy, what are you doing here?!"

He sneered back, "Weasley listen to Annabeth and your little brain might actually understand. Take it away sis." Sis! WHAT'S GOING ON!

I attempted to go back to the entrance but Jason and Percy flanked it like guards in front of a gold vault. Hermione drawled, "Annabeth. Can you please tell us what's going on?"

Piper motioned to the bean bags and we sat down, ready to spring up and attack Malfoy at any second. I watched his every movement, but he wasn't causing trouble. He was talking to Neville and Luna. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Frank cleared his throat, "So we brought you guys here to learn more about us being demigods. And to do so, we would like you to know these demigods. This is Neville, son of Demeter. This is Luna, daughter of Athena. And this is Draco Malfoy, son of Athena."

Draco smirked, "Do you understand now Potter?"

Luna chided, "Dragon. Stop doing that. You don't have to act anymore."

"But it was so much fun."

I looked at Hermione and I could see gears spinning around. She asked quietly, "Is this true?"

Leo nodded, "Yep. As true as wizards existing. Are you sure you guys don't do bibbidi-bobbidi-boo?"

"I'm sure," I replied.

Hazel smiled, "So if we are done with true introductions, I guess we can start with the show. Since I am a daughter of Pluto, I can make tunnels and control minerals out of the ground."

Ron gasped, "That's awesome. Can I have some gold?"

Draco shook his head, "Only your family could use any type of gold, even cursed. Am I right, Weasley?"

Annabeth smacked Draco in the head, "You sure it was just a mask? You are doing a good job of making sure it is the true you. Sheesh, you have been hanging out with the Stolls to long. I'm banning you from them."

"But Annabeth-"

"Don't you but Annabeth me."

Frank asked, "Can we continue?" We nodded and he stood up.

"I'm actually a descendant of Poseidon. I have this power to change shape into different animals." Suddenly Frank disappeared and a lizard scurried up Hermione's legs. She shrieked and flung the lizard across the room. The lizard transformed into Frank and he groaned, "Really Hermione?"

"Well you startled me!"

"Since I'm a son of Zeus, I can control the winds and I can summon lightning."

Jason suddenly rose off the ground and came back down. He nudged Piper and she sighed, "I am a daughter of Aphrodite. Some children have an ability called charmspeak. It allows me to make people...do things."

"For example, Jason hit yourself in the head." Jason's eyes glazed over and a fist made contact with his face. Ron and I exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Leo rose from his chair and gave a little bow and proclaimed, "Your shiny knight in armor is here. And he has brought the heat with him!"

Leo's hair suddenly lit on fire and Hermione, Ron, and I yelled in surprise.

Hermione commanded, "Aguamenti." Water shot out from the tip of her wand and sprayed towards Leo.

After the mist settled, Leo's clothes were soaked, but now his hands were on fire along with his head. He spit out some water and gasped, "This is all part of the Hephaestus child set up. Nothing to be afraid of."

I asked, "Who's next?"

Percy smiled at Annabeth, "I guess we are. I can control water and communicate with some marine animals and horses. And Annabeth is the most powerful demigod ever."

Annabeth laughed, "I can explain it myself. I don't have many powers except my brain. Percy is a Seaweed Brain. He would die if he wasn't with me."

Hermione gaped, "That's amazing! I knew I saw brains in you!"

"Yeah. Thanks Hermione."

I thought back how I told Cedric about the dragons. It's only right I told Annabeth.

"Um. Annabeth."

"Yeah, Harry?"

"For the Tournament, the first challenge is dragons. I just thought you should know. All the rest of the champions probably know by now."

Percy and Annabeth glanced at each other. "Yeah, about that Harry. Um, we have always been doing some perimeter checks around the school at night. So, I saw the dragons already."

Ron screamed, "So you have been spying on us!"

Hermione shook her head, "Ron, they accidentally wound up where Harry was. Besides, the perimeter checks are a great idea. Lest you forget Voldermort for the past years."

He mumbled something inaudible and Hermione shrieked in response.

I almost forget my arch nemesis was in the room. Draco asked, "You guys done fooling around? What, we are still here."

Luna and Neville were engaged in a card game and Draco was following along.

Hermione asked, "Why didn't you guys tell us your real identities? Don't answer Draco."

Neville shrugged, "We didn't have a choice. You guys are so nosy-"

"We are not!"
Draco's eyes bore into Hermione's skulls. "Yes you are Granger."

"-And we couldn't reveal our entire society's secrets. Even if wizards are just descendants of Hecate with godly blood being diluted."

Hermione yelped, "Are you guys saying we are demigods too?"

Annabeth shook her head, "NO! Demigods are direct descendants. Neville, Luna, and Draco just had a godly parent and magic blood. You guys are just legacies from many, many, many ancestors from Hecate. It's almost like you have zero godly blood."

Ron sighed, "Man. Just when I thought I could beat Percy!"

Percy Jackson gaped, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, I have four brothers and a sister. One of my older brothers is named Percy. He's working for the ministry now."

"Huh. Glad we are friends and not enemies."

"Same."

Jason suggested, "Hey you guys should come to our room more often. We have a gym of sorts that we practice sword fighting and archery."

Draco's eyes bulged out of his head. And if that was literal, that would not be pretty.

"You guys didn't tell me about your gym?! Luna, Neville, and I usually have to sneak out in the forest to practice at times. And that's once a month. We become so reliant on our wands. What have we become?"
Luna smiled, "We are wizards and demigods Draco. Embrace both sides of you."

Annabeth asked, "Hey. Can you guys stay here for a little while? I have a theory that needs testing."

Hermione smiled, "Sure. Annabeth. We can-"

Percy's girlfriend held a hand, "I wasn't talking to you guys. I was asking Draco, Luna, and Neville."

Ron frowned, "But we can help too."

"Yeah. I know, but I just trust them a lot more. We have known them longer. Sorry guys."

I said softly, "That's alright. We better go anyway."

We stepped out of the portrait and the whole of Gryffindor was waiting for us. Fred and George asked, "Are they as cool as you guys say?"
Sean asked, "Are they hot?"

"Can you guys introduce us?"

I yelled, "Hey! Can you please stop asking me questions? Just ask them yourselves."

The group groaned and trudged up the stairs to their beds. Fred and George were talking to themselves and glancing at us. Fred came out and asked, "Can you get the Americans-"

"-To try our Canary Creams?" George finished.

Hermione waved her hand in desperation, "We will ask them in the morning? Good night boys."

As we went our separate way, Ron asked, "Why does Annabeth not trust us? I mean you even told her about the dragons when she already knew."

"I don't know. She just knew them longer. But I never thought Neville and Luna as demigods. I mean they should have told us. It's like we don't even know them anymore. And I can't believe the demigods trust Draco of all people!"
Ron shook his head, "I know. It is so unjust. They don't know how he has treated you Harry. Anyway, did your talk with Moody help you figure out anything for the Tournament."

I glanced at my Firebolt leaning against my bed stand and looking at me in anticipation for another ride. "Yeah. I know exactly what I am doing."

ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be doing a double chapter update if I get 30 reviews.

Just had to get it out there. To some, this chapter is short. But trust me, I can't start on the next chapter without finishing it off. I hope you enjoyed this!-hope4all
