Note: When the demigods are making their introductions, I'm not going to say everything, cuz I'm lazy. If you want to know everything, read the books again!


Harry's POV

It was finally time to meet the demigods! Sitting down at dinner, I noticed almost no one was eating; only staring at the door. Even Ron, who almost never stops eating, was as still as the rest of us.

On a side note, Ron and I had decided there was something wrong with Draco. In addition to eating normally, like we weren't just about to meet children of the gods, he hadn't even insulted me today!

CREAK! Everyone who was not previously looking at the door had their eyes glued to it now. In walked Ms. McGonagall, who went straight up to the staff table. After her came a group of 9 teenagers. The first guy had windswept black hair and sea green eyes. The next girl, who was turning her head all around, seemingly trying to take in every last detail of the Great Hall, had curly blonde hair and stormy grey eyes.

Because those two were in front, I took them to be the 'leaders' of the group.

Behind them was a girl with short, spiky black hair and electric blue eyes. Next to her was a guy with blonde hair and electric blue eyes like her. They must be siblings. Next to the guy was a girl with choppy, yet beautiful, brown hair. Her eyes were stunning; I couldn't decide what color they were.

Behind them was a big Chinese guy, with black hair and brown eyes. He was standing next to a girl with cinnamon brown hair, and eyes that appeared golden in the candlelight.

Next to them was a guy who was really short, dirty, and hyper. He had greasy, curly, brown hair, and brown eyes that were looking around at everyone, trying to take it all in.

Behind them was just one guy, who had black hair and brown eyes. His shoulders were hunched, and he was looking down at the ground, as if he wasn't really interested in everything. Or, as if he were trying to hide from someone...

At that moment, all the ghosts in the Great Hall zoomed towards him. As all the other kids stepped away, they kneeled as low as they could in front of him. The kid growled something at them, but I couldn't hear what. The ghosts all flew away frantically, leaving the Hall.

After a few moments of silence, Dumbledore stood up, and said, "These are the demigods. Please do not anger them, for it will be at your own health. I will be choosing some students to give them a tour later today, so be on your best behavior and you might get chosen. Now, care to make introductions?"

The guy in the front rubbed his neck sheepishly, then asked the rest of them if he could go last. They all nodded, and lined up.

The Chinese guy spoke first. "I'm Frank Zhang, Hero of Olympus, one of the seven, son of Mars, Ares' Roman form. I'm a descendant of Periclymenus, and a shape-shifter. I'm Praetor of the Twelfth Legion, defeater of the basilisks, commander of Grey, co-defeater of Alcyoneus, uh... and some other stuff. Oh, yeah! Also, the boyfriend of Hazel Levesque," he finished.

Too-much-caffine guy leaned over, and loudly whispered, "And defeater of the Chinese handcuffs!" Everyone in the group cracked up, while I just looked at them oddly. Hey, can you blame me?

The girl with the golden eyes spoke next. "I'm Hazel Levesque, Hero of Olympus, one of the seven, daughter of Pluto, Hades' Roman form, and girlfriend of Frank Zhang. I... died, in 1942, but my brother, Nico, brought me back. I'm the commander of Arion, co-defeater of Alcyoneus, et cetra." I guess they just didn't want to say everything.

The blonde guy went next. "I'm Jason Grace, Hero of Olympus, one of the seven, boyfriend of Piper McLean, son of Jupiter, Zeus' Roman form, head counselor of Cabin 1 at Camp Half-Blood, ex-Praetor of New Rome, brother of Thalia, defeater of the titan Krios, defeater of one of Medea's sun dragons, destroyer of Midas, defeater of Enceladus, observer of a god's true form, defeater of Chrysaor, defeater of Otis and Ephialtes, tamer of the venti Tempest, and some other stuff."

Next went the girl with the choppy brown hair. "I'm Piper McLean, one of the seven, Hero of Olympus, girlfriend of Jason Grace, daughter of Aphrodite, head counselor of Cabin 10 at Camp Half-Blood, charmspeaker, wielder of Katroptis, defeater of Medea, and other stuff." When she revealed that she was dating Jason, almost every guy in the Hall groaned. I mean, she was gorgeous.

The punk-ish girl went next. "I'm Thalia, just Thalia, daughter of Zeus, sister of Jason Grace, Lieutenant of Artemis, defeater of a lot of monsters."

After her came the too-much-caffine guy. "I'm Leo Valdez, Hero of Olympus, one of the seven, son of Hephaestus, head counselor of Cabin 9, boyfriend of the beautiful Calypso, tamer and re-builder of Festus, the dragon, taker of the Physician's Cure, and SUPREME COMMANDER OF THE ARGO II! McShizzle, baby!" With that, he ran outside, Thalia chasing him.

All the teachers and students glanced at them, worried that Thalia would kill the little guy, but the demigods seemed unconcerned.

The emo guy continued. "I'm Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, head counselor of Cabin 13 at Camp Half-Blood, Ghost King, Survivor of... Tartarus, blah blah blah." Oh, so that was why all the ghosts bowed to him. And what was Tartarus?

The leader-ish girl continued. "I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, girlfriend of Percy Jackson. I'm the head counselor of Cabin 6 at Camp Half-Blood, Hero and Savior of Olympus, re-builder of Olympus after the second Titan war, retriever of the Athena Parthenos, survivor of... Tartarus, and defeater of a whole lot of monsters."

The leader-ish guy went last. Annabeth leaned over to him, saying, "Full titles. Don't leave anything out."

He took a big breath, and began.

"I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, retriever of Zeus' master bolt and Hades' helm of darkness, defeater of the Minotaur twice, defeater of Medusa, kinda the destroyer of the Saint Louis arch (long story), defeater of Alecto/Ms. Dodds, defeater of Procrustes, defeater of the god Ares, half-brother of the cyclops Tyson, defeater of several Laestrygonians, co-retriever of the Golden Fleece, kinda-defeater of Circe, part time guinea pig (cue "What?" from almost everyone, but hysterical laughter from Annabeth), defeater of the Nemean Lion, holder of the sky, defeater of several empousai, owner of Ms. O'Leary, defeater of Geryon, blower-upper of Mount Saint Helens, traveller to Calypso's island, defeater of Antaeus, bearer of the Achilles' curse, defeater of a legion of the dead, defeater of Kronos, the titan, offered immortality but turned it down, sort-of-ex-ish-Praetor of New Rome, defeater of the gorgons multiple times, carrier of Juno/Hera across the Little Tiber, defeater of an army of Karpoi, tricker of Phineas, retriever of the Twelfth Legion's golden eagle, tricker of Chrysaor, defeater of Otis and Ephialtes, survivor of T-Tartarus, raiser of Gaea with a nosebleed, and defeater of a lot more monsters. Yeah, I think that's everything," he concluded.

If I had thought it was silent before, it was nothing compared to this. No one moved a muscle, unsure whether to congratulate the demigods, or sympathize, or applaud. Finally, after about a minute, Dumbledore clapped his hands, and a table appeared in the middle of the Hall, decked out in orange and purple. He motioned for the demigods to sit there, and they did.

Talking slowly returned, but I remained silent. I mean, I thought my life was hard, being the chosen one and all. But it was nothing compared to what these kids have gone through.

With a loud bang, the door swung open to reveal a scorched Leo and a smiling Thalia. They walked over to the table, sat down, and started eating like nothing had happened.

Suddenly, I heard an odd sound... a bit like a bow and arrow. I turned, and froze on the spot.


Ha, cliffhanger! Don't worry, the next chapter will probably be up tonight or tomorrow, but no promises. Just so you know, updates probably won't come this fast in the future, but I had already written this chapter and the next, so it's just a matter of typing it up.

Any guesses as to who was holding the bow and arrow?

QOTD: PJO or HoO? (Yeah, I know, it's an almost impossible question.)

My answer: PJO
