So here's the next chapter, the golden trio will meet the HOO, we will also see everyone's transformation. They will also start getting school supplies, I will try to get to their wands but I have no idea how far I will get if not you can continue to give suggestions.
Disclaimer: I do not own either HP or PJO or HOO, even if I pray to my dark lord and savior Cthulhu.
Harry's POV:
I was sitting in the room I shared with Ron at Grimmauld place (A/N sorry if I missed spelled that) my hearing was tomorrow morning. We were having lunch when the Hogwarts letters came, as usual it was saying we were invited for our next year at Hogwarts, there was a new DADA professor, supply list. As we were about to get back to our respective lunch another Hogwarts owl swooped in and dropped a letter in front of Mrs. Weasley.
She opened it read it over quickly while Fred and George were bugging her to find out what the letter said. After a few moments she handed it off to Mr. Weasley, I watched his eyes run down the letter, then he said "It seems Dumbledore has requested that we host some exchange students, this year until they go to Hogwarts and over the holidays. They should arrive different times tomorrow, they also ask for us to help them get supplies. What do you think dear?"
Mrs. Weasley thought hard for a moment, then replied "Of course dear, it would be lovely, I have to go shopping to get more food." With that she ran out of the room to go to the market to get more food. Hermione asked "Where are they from, what school do they go to, what kind of classes do they take, will they be sorted, what year are they in..." Before she could ask any more questions Mr. Weasley cut her off "They are from America, they go to a school called Mt. Olympus school of Magic, I don't know much about their classes, yes they will be sorted, they will join you Harry and Ron in fifth year, and according to the letter there is one more thing I should tell you." Mr. Weasley seemed to ponder if he should tell us the next part but continued "According to Dumbledore they are all half-breeds, but they shouldn't be taken lightly. They are all extremely powerful, he said that even the youngest of them can take down several seventh years single handily."
"Bloody hell, how are they that strong?" Mr. Weasley read the letter again "Dumbledore says that at Mt Olympus they were taught to master a certain type of magic based on certain talents that they possess, but the students that they are sending" Quickly skimming the letter he added "he also says that because of their lineage they have special abilities so they didn't have to use wands, so while they are here they also have to get wands. He also wants you to help them get the rest of their supplies."
Hermione seemed to want to ask more questions, she had the look in her eyes that she wanted to know more. So Mr. Weasley handed her the letter before she started asking more questions and headed to the fireplace to floo back to the ministry, she read it over quickly, gasped read it again. She explained what it said, it basically said:
They were half-breeds; a merman, sphinx, veela, hippogriff, dark elf, leshy (ask Hermione to explain later), imp, lunar elf, and a vampire.
They were extremely powerful
They were of Greek decent
They have religious belief were they have to burn food (Ron flipped out at this one, saying wasting perfectly good food)
If Mrs. & Mr. Weasley agreed they would be arriving different times tomorrow
And that they got permission from their ministry and ours to travel by different means (whatever that meant?)
Mrs. Weasley came back in with several bags, and yelled at us to help her put them away. We got up to the front door to help her after we helped her, Hermione, Ron and I went to our (Ron and mine) to discuss the exchange students. Mainly who we wanted to teach DADA, we got it down to Remus, Tonks, and some witch who was voted sexiest witch of the year by WWM or Witch Weekly Magazine. With much insistence from Ron, who proceed to be slapped by Hermione while she tried to explain how impractical that would be and everyone would fail their OWLS. That's how we pretty much spent the night.
The next morning Mr. Weasley woke me up and took me to my Trail, I would have been convicted and the Wizengamot would have broken my wand. If Dumbledore didn't come in and save the day I would have lost the best part of my life. Before Mr. Weasley took me back to Grimmauld place Dumbledore came up to us whispered something to Mr. Weasley and handed him several letters and walked off. I was a little upset that Dumbledore didn't even seem to notice I was right there and completely ignored.
I arrived back at Grimmauld place and no exchange were here yet so Ron, Hermione and I sat in the parlor room and played exploding snaps.
It was nearly 3 in the afternoon, when Mrs. Weasley ushered us out to the hall to welcome the first Americans that would arrive. The door bursts open and Dumbledore was standing, and for some reason the air smelled of ozone and had the feeling lightening would strike. Behind him were about four teenagers.
The one in the front had an aura of leadership around him, and seemed to have be radiating the ozone scent. He was tall, muscular, had clean cut blond hair, and electric blue eyes, what was strange was that he had a beak, a ruffle of feathers coming out from around his next. His hands looked like a cross between normal hands and an eagles talons. He strangle made me think of a hippogriff. Next to him was a girl who looked fairly normal, she had golden blonde hair, she had the same air around her that Fleur had, she must be the veela. I looked over to Ron who started to make googly eyes at her, she seemed to shoot daggers at him and stepped closer to the Hippogriff boy. They must be dating. Next was a girl with short black spiky hair, and the same electric blue eyes as the first boy, she was pale, not like sick or deathly but as if her skin was made of moonlight. She had soft features, and an ageless look to her, her ears also a slight point to them. And the last was a short boy, with curly brown hair he looked more Mexican than Greek, his skin had a red tinge to it. He also had pointed ears not the same kind that the pale girl had, hers seemed more round, his went straight back to a point, they were long, he also had a tail a long thin tail. And for some reason the air around him seemed to shimmer, like the air above a hot oven.
The blonde boy stepped forward and said "Hi I am Jason part hippogriff, this is my girlfriend Piper veela," gesturing to the veela girl, next he pointed to the pale girl "That's my sister Thalia lunar elf, and lastly red boy is Leo imp." As he finished the entire room got dark and the shadows seemed to converge in the center and rise up. Not like up the walls, but to create a 3D image, that formed into three standing images, as the shadows receded three more people were standing where the shadows were.
The first was deathly pale, like he was the living dead, had pointed teeth like fangs, black hair, and black eyes. He radiated death. The next was a girl who had dark gray skin almost black, white hair, and black eyes. Next was a boy who was big and beefy, he looked like he could easily beat Crab and Goyle in a fight. Parts of his body looked like they were trees.
The hippogriff bo- I mean Jason spoke "The deathly pale boy is my cousin Nico, part vampire, don't ask, don't know. Next to him is his sister Hazel, dark elf, and tree boy is Frank, part Leshy. Forest spirit that can shapeshift into animals."
Dumbledore spoke up "all that leaves is Percy and Annabeth." As those words left his lips a cyclone appeared in the center of the room. Not a small cyclone, but a full blown cyclone. Clouds were actually forming above it a storm was actually happening in the middle of the parlor. Not a calm summer day's storm, or a thunder storm. But a storm that was meant to cause pure destruction, the storm seemed to pick up a bit. Then as quickly as it formed it dissipated and in the center of the destruction stood a boy and a girl.
The boy had wind swept raven hair, sea green eyes, his skin was green and scaly, his lips were black and he had shark teeth. The girl had blonde princess curls and it seemed to have fur that stopped right below her neck, her hands looked like a mix between normal hands and lion's paws/claws and she had a lion's tail. The boy gave a lop-sided grin he said "sorry about that I am Percy, merman, and this is my girlfriend Annabeth. Sorry about the destruction, it's kind of out of my control when I storm-travel."
Hermione was the first one to talk, "How did you guys get here, I mean there is a Fidelus charm on the house?"
"I'll answer that." We all turned to Dumbledore, "their headmaster is a very old friend of mine, I would trust him with my life, and he trust them, so I gave them the location. The reason being is doing 9 extremely powerful glamour charms for extremely long flight might cause some muggles to notice us. And since some of them have means of travels besides apperating it was decided to allow them to travel with that means."
"Thank you Professor," Mrs. Weasley said "but since it late I think it is time for you all to go off to bed; Thalia, Hazel and Piper will be staying with Hermione and my daughter Ginny. While Nico, Jason, Frank, and Leo will be staying with Harry and my son Ron."
"What about Percy and Annabeth?" Hermione asked.
"Well, according to their previous headmaster, in the American's war which just ended. These two were captured and tortured, the only thing keeping them same was each other. They have gotten PTSD, from those weeks, and will have nightmares about those times. The only thing that will help abate these nightmares, and wake one up before there magical powers get out of control is each other. You can ask their friends." Dumbledore explained.
We turned to their friends, Nico was about to falling asleep, muttering something about great power and great naps. Jason was the one who answered "Yeah, Annabeth woke up all of… school with her screaming and Percy was the only one that could quiet and wake her up. While Percy's power went out of control, it would lash out to anyone who tried to get near, this one girl Clarisse was blasted clear into the lake. The only person it wouldn't attack was Annabeth, in fact it would actually try and protect her. When Clarisse got out of the lake she started yelling at Annabeth swing her… wand around like she was going to attack Annabeth. They were by the lake, as soon as it was pointed at Annabeth, the lake reached out and made a bubble around Annabeth to protect her and the same times, tendrils shot out and attacked Clarisse. It took a week for the council to agree to let them sleep together."
Hermione looked stunned, that someone that young had that much power, Ginny looked dumbfounded, Ron had his mouth wide open, Dumbledore, Mrs. & Mr. Weasley looked like they already knew this, I realized that my mouth was wide open. The other exchange students weren't even paying attention most of them were falling asleep, Nico and Percy were actually already asleep. Fred and George had the look in their eyes that they had a prank in mind, they slowly snuck up behind Percy.
The floor creaked, and faster than seemed possible both Fred and George were on their backs, Percy had flipped both of them like they were nothing and had a foot on each of theirs chest.
Dumbledore had a twinkle in his eye and said "I would recommend not trying to prank those two, as you can now see, or feel in Fred's and George's case, they have highly refined reflexes, from battles they fought. So please be careful, I don't want to have to explain to your parents why any of you will be spending time in the hospital wing." With that he gave a small smile, and left.
I turned to see what the exchanges students were doing, Annabeth and Percy were following Mrs. Weasley to their room. Nico was sleeping in the corner, the rest were talking. This was going to be a long weekend.
End of Chapter four.
I know I didn't get to the supplies but this chapter took lot longer than I expected. Sorry, but I promise that next chapter will be them in Gringotts. So I am still open to any suggestions for wands, and familiars.
Till next time
The King of Hades
