Chapter 7

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own Percy Jackson or Harry Potter, the belong to JK Rowling and Rick Riordan

Annabeth POV:

We had got off the train in Hogsmeade, a village near the school an there were carriages pulled by skeletal horses trailing to Hogwarts.

"Harry, you were right. There are horses!" Ron gasped.

"You have to have seen death to see them. You hadn't before the war." He replied.

Seen death. Yes I had seen so death. Lots of death.

The most painful appeared in my mind. We were on Olympus, Kronos was in pain and flickering back to Luke. Percy gave him my knife. Kronos tried to prevent it, but Luke stabbed his shoulder and died screaming in agony.

"We need a shroud for the son of Hermes," Percy had said.

Looking over to Percy and Thalia, I could tell they were thinking of Luke as well.

Ginny brought me out of my memories.

"Annabeth, we're nearly there you'll be able to see it in a minute."

"Sorry, the horses made me think of the war. I was re-living the Battle of Manhattan, against Luke."

We rounded a corner and I was amazed. The castle was stunning. Not as good as Olympus but stunning all the same.

"That architecture! It's amazing. The shape and the colours and-"

"Wise girl," Percy said. "As much as the architecture is gorgeous-" I started to speak but Percy cut me off again. "We don't want a half an hour lecture on it."

I glared at him.

"Kelp head is, for once, right. Annie." Thals said.

"Oh do you like architecture then?" Hermione asked me.

"Yeah, I want to be an architect when I'm older. I want to make something permanent." I replied.

"That's really cool." Luna said.

Hazel POV:

"New pupils over here please!" Professor McGonagal was calling.

We made our way over to her.

"Professor, we're new pupils." Percy said.

"Ahh, yes. The Anericans. Correct?"

"Yep." I replied.

"At the sorting ceremony, the new 5th years will be after the 1st years and the 7th years will be last. Is that clear?"

We nodded and then went to the front of the line to lead us in.

"We need to all be in the same house. Try and all be in the same house as Hazel." Annabeth said.

Hermione POV:

It was the sorting ceremony and all the first years were going first. I didn't recognise any names so a paid minimal attention.

"Students." McGonagal called. "Today we have 5 new pupils from Anerica joining us. In fifth year: Hazel Levesque."

Hazel went to the stool, sat down and waited.

"Gryffindor!" The hat called. She saw us and came to sit with us.

"Frank Zhang!" Professor called.

The same happened and Frank went to Gryffindor too. Next was the 7th years. Annabeth came first. She sat on the seat and the sorting hat was placed on her head. This looked, like a much harder decision.

Annabeth POV:

I sat down on the rickety stool and placed the sorting hat on my head.

"Hmm, this is tricky." it said in my head, "Are you Gryffindor or Ravenclaw. You're very smart. But you're very brave. The deepest pits of hell, you have lots of exotic places on your resume, being both brave and clever is needed to escape there. What should we do? Bravery, courageousness and chivalry, or intelligence, wit and wisdom."

The hat went silent then...

Finally the hat shouted;

"Gryffindor!"

Thalia and Percy both also got Gryffindor.

When we got up to the common room we saw that they had added another boys room and another girls room, the others had told us there were seven girls rooms in the tower, and the same with boys but there were eight this year.

Ron, Neville, Percy and Frank had a room and then Me, Hermione, Thalia and Hazel had a room. No one else was repeating or in a new year later on so we were fine.

Hope you like this chapter.
