"That kid is not normal. The sorting hat has never screamed like that before. Not even when he was put on Malfoy." Ron said. Harry nodded.

"You're right. He obviously has to have seen some horrible stuff to leave that big of an impact." Hermione said. They didn't realize Nico was sitting close enough to hear them.

Harry thought about it for a bit then thought of something, "That's it. He's probably a deatheater.

"Harry think it about it logically. He's too young to be a deatheater." Hermione said.

"Maybe deateater spawn." Ron suggested.

"Or even Riddle's son." Harry said thoughtfully. When Nico heard this he gave them a death glare and walked toward the headmaster's office.

"Annoying git." Ron muttered.

Nico soon reached where the headmaster's office was supposed to be. All he saw was a gargoyle. He tried kicking it but failed epically. After demonstrating his colorful language Dumbledore came.

"Hello Mr. Di Angelo. I would appreciate if you didn't speak like that here. Now acid pops." Dumbledore said. To Nico's amazement the gargoyle jumped away and they were able to enter the room.

"Now you know you are here so you can protect Mr. Potter. Don't worry no one except some of the staff knows your secret. Chiron will inform you when it's time to tell everyone." Dumbledore said. Nico was only focusing on one thing.

"Wait did you say Potter?" He asked.

"Yes. Have you met him? I have made it so you'll be in his house." Dumbledore replied. Nico snorted.

"Well-" Before Nico could finish his sentence, The Golden Trio rushed in.

"Dumbledore! We think the new kid's Riddles chi-" They stopped speaking when they saw Nico. They cowered under his glare.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Ms. Granger please sit down. I appreciate your concerns, but I know both Nico's lineage and what he is. He is on our side." Dumbledore explained.

"Then what is he?" Ron demanded.

"He's clearly not normal." Hermione said.

"He is right here." Nico said. He fingered his ring, but he decided to use some self-control.

"I am sorry, but I can't tell you what he is. I can tell you that he is a big asset. He has gone through many horrifying things. Much worse than anything anyone here has gone through." Dumbledore said gravely. Harry looked doubtful.

"I've been through a lot too." Harry said. Nico was outraged that this mortal thought he knew the dangers of being a demigod.

"Do you know what it's like to run from monsters since the day you were born? To be hunted down by such a powerful being he could destroy the entire world in under five seconds? No you don't. I have helped face an enemy that would make Tom Riddle look like a dust molecule? Don't say you understand!" Nico yelled. He then stormed out of the room.

"Please don't mind him. He has had a troubled life. His mom died when he was ten, and he doesn't have any memories of him. He barely sees his dad, and his sister who raised him died a couple years ago." Dumbledore explained.

"Sir is everything he said true?" Harry asked. Dumbledore nodded.

Back in the dorms Nico sat there alone while everyone else was in the Gryffindor common room. His portion of the room was pretty bare because he only had one picture. It was a picture of camp where the Stolls were being chased by Clarisse and Katie Gardener was yelling at them from the Demeter cabin. In the front was him, Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia. It was taken several months ago when the Hunters visited camp. I decided to wait until all my dorm-mates went to bed so I could shadow travel to camp. I lied in bed pretending to be asleep while listening some kid called Seamus Finnegan call Potter a liar. Finally they went to sleep. I quickly summoned the shadows and started shadow traveling. Instead of getting to camp I only got to the Great Hall. I heard a crack and slowly turned around. A man that looked sort of like my father was staring at me.

"Now what are you doing Mr. Di Angelo?" He asked.
