Well we will continue from the feast, so let's see what happens.
I won't give anything away this chapter besides, that we will meet the pink toad, I mean professor Umbrigde. So before we go I must do the one thing I wish I didn't and that is the almighty disclaimer.
I do no own PJO, HOO, and/or HP series.
Well now that's done, let's get started.
Draco's POV:
How could that half-breed talk to me like that, who did he think he is talking to me like that. Luckily fish-boy and none of those… things were put in the best house Slytherin. I mean, none of them are strong enough to be put in this house. They were probably be put into those houses, because they were too stupid for Ravenclaw, and were put in Gryffindor out of pity.
I mean they were probably weaker than the mud-blood Granger. I bet they can't even do the basic levitation charm we learned our first year. I don't think they can even brew the basic cure for boils I mean even Weasley was able to brew that one.
And bet the hat was screaming because how he saw how weak and hopeless they were.
So after they got seated, most of the students in the other houses scooted away from them, I mean how can I blame they, I wouldn't want to catch anything they have. I mean I probably got stupider just spending those few moments with them on the train.
Well of course Dumbledore did his speech saying "don't go in the forbidden forest," some other nonsense words, I mean I don't think any Slytherins were listening, we all think Snape would be a better headmaster than that old bat.
As Dumbledore finished his speech, and was about to let us eat, the new DADA professor cleared her throat. My father told me about her, she was a great woman, who was on the wizamgot and was one of the smart few that tried to expel Potty at his hearing. I think we, the Slytherins, are going to like her. She did her speech saying that she was here to make our lives better, and to properly teach us unlike some of our previous professors. I was thinking that we finally got a good professor, Slytherin was the only one that wasn't whispering about how the ministry was interfering, I think we were the only ones happy about this change.
Once she was finished, Dumbledore got back up and said two words that almost everyone was waiting for "Dig in"
As all ways the food appeared on the tables and everyone started to reach for their favorites, I looked over to see Ron pilling food up on his plate. I knew his family was poor, but he was acting like it was the first time he was fed this year. Which I wouldn't doubt, I bet they had to choose between food, and clothing.
The exchange students were the only ones not eating, they were looking around as if they were waiting for something, like they had a ritual they had to before they eat. The one that looked a lot like Potty looked towards the headmaster, who gave him a simple nod.
The boy, looked over to the dark-skinned girl who took out her wand and waved it in the center of the room. The earth cracked, and up popped a pure golden fire pit, then the imp-boy took out his wand, and gave it a wave. From the tip a small dragon made of green fire came out, it flew out of his wand around the hall, and dived into the pit. Where it proceeded to explode into more fire. Now the Great Hall has a fire pit with a roaring green fire.
They all got up and proceeded to dump some of their food into the fire before they went back down to eat. Once all of them were done the fish-boy took out his wand. It looked like a metal stick, that was mostly bronze, that had golden and some type of black metal thrown into it. The handle, looked like if someone took the sea and turned into metal.
With a smirk he gave his wand a wave, and a little bit of water from everyone's cup rose and floated in the air. It then proceed to take different shapes, shapes of all the fish in the sea. The fish swan around the room, as if we were underwater. They all came together and dove into the fire putting it out.
The dark-skinned girl waved her wand again, and the golden pit fell back into the ground, which healed itself as if this fiasco never happened.
The fish-boy seemed to look straight at me and gave a trouble-makers grin that said "who is the weak one now?"
The cat girl slapped him upside the head, and started whispering something to him, he gave a sheepish grin said something back, and all of his friends seemed to start laughing, and she rolled her eyes and laid her head on his shoulder. I noticed out of the rest of the exchange students, they ate almost nothing, I mean the pale boy who looked like he didn't eat anything was on his second plate. They seemed to only to push the food around, and picked at the vegetables, and fruits, had a small piece of meat, but nothing else. The other exchange students seemed to be eyeing them making sure those two ate.
But why should I care if two half-breeds drop dead because they don't eat. I mean they are no way as good as a Slytherin.
Umbridge POV:
I was flabbergasted, not only did Dumbledore allow half-breeds into this school, but he also allows them to have their wands, and freely use magic. Hogwarts is likely that I am here, it needs a lot of work, I mean how he could allow such creatures into this school. I better tell the minister about this.
I had to keep an eye on these students, and better make sure they don't do anything to try and over throw the ministry. I will make sure they don't do anything of the sort. I after all am here by the express word of the minister to make sure Hogwarts gets back to its formal glory. And I will do such with the ministry approved curriculum, and teach the theory of the spells, in a safe and controlled environment. I mean they will never have to do any of these spells in real life, we live in a perfectly safe world. No matter what Mr. Potter says he-who-must-not-be-named is not back and has been defeated a long time ago.
So there is harm that come to these, disgusting brats. Calm down Umbridge remember be sweet and kind, try and be nice. With that I put a smile on my face and continued to eat my meal like a proper witch. Not some uncultured swine, like those exchange students, I mean who were they sacrificing to the Greek Gods? (A/N who have no idea lady)
It is so barbaric to sacrifice your food, and all you do is burn it, it's not like they enjoy the smell. I must talk to Dumbledore about, I understand it is customary from they are from. But they are now in a civilized and cultured society and must act just. We must also take their wands, half-breeds aren't allowed to carry their wands around freely. They must either have written permission from the ministry, or be supervised by a ministry official while using one. Luckily for Hogwarts I am here, and I know just what to do in this situation.
In class tomorrow I will confiscate their wands, and they will only be allowed to use them while I am around. I smile even bigger yes that is what I will do, they even shouldn't be able to go here. So I will not make their time here any easier than it should be.
I should take their wands away right now, but as the minister has informed me I should be friend these students first, so I will not make a big fuss of it right now. I mean what will the students think of me if I make such a big deal out of something soo small.
Dumbledore POV:
I was surprised at the power that the demigods showed, not only did they do silent spells, I bet that they could have done all that wandless and without magic. They are doing what we asked and are trying to keep their cover, I am just hoping with that they don't but heads with Ms. Umbridge if they do then we will have a big problem. But I trust them, and Lady Hecate convinced their parents to mix them with mythical creature to help hide not only their scent but who they really are.
All I am worried about right now is keeping Harry and the students safe, that's why I called them in, and that is also why we didn't rig it so they all got into one house. By having them in different houses it should be easier for them to do so. I don't know what Voldemort is planning, or how he will strike but I am sure he will do that soon. So having the demigods here is a big help in protecting everyone. I just hope that nothing happens and this is just the break they deserve.
The only thing I am worried about for their sake is that the wizagmot didn't approve Percy and Annabeth staying together. From what Chiron has told me this can possibly worse than Voldemort attacking the school himself, not only does it post a potential threat to the students, it could possibly destroy the entire school, and the only ones left will be the demigods.
But Chiron assured me they won't let it get that bad, that their friends will do what they can to calm them down. And that they will disregard anything that will stop them from getting to each other.
Chiron told me of some of their adventures, and after hearing that Percy fell in to Tartarus for Annabeth, I knew that if anything were to happen to her while they were here. That the only thing here would either be a giant lake, a giant creator, or nothing, the entire area completely beat down by a storm.
Luckily as headmaster, if a potential danger arises that threatens the safety of the students I may do what is necessary to get rid of this threat, even if it goes against the ministry. The only thing is I will have to wait until something happens then I can get them a room together, I already have one set up.
But until then all I can do is wait.
I look over to the Gryffindor to see Percy and Annabeth, holding hands under the table, just enjoying being near each other. And I can't help but smile that is what Harry learned his first year and will hopefully continue to learn. The power of true love, love so pure that no powers on Olympus, earth, hades, Tartarus, or any power for the matter can break it.
As the feast winds down, I return to the podium to give a few last minute announcements.
"I hope you all are well fed, and I just have a couple last minute announcements before you can go off to bed." I hear several groans, and just give a small chuckle.
"First off, prefects please once I dismiss you, lead the first years back to the dorms, then please return back to the great hall."
I hear the Hufflepuff prefect speak up "why should we come back sir?"
"I was just getting to that, would the exchange students please stay after words, so I may have a word with you in private. Also, Have a…" I look towards Percy and give a sly grin and continue to say what Hermes told me to say "Goode year."
Percy lets out a chuckle and everyone but Annabeth looks confused at what I said, and just chock it up as another word I have made up.
After the hall clears all that is left is me and the exchange students, I turn to them and get straight to the point.
"What precautions do you guys have for if one of you have a nightmare?"
Nico answers "If Percy is having a nightmare I can get Annabeth, but normally if Annabeth is having a nightmare Thalia can get Percy."
I reply "I don't think that will work, the stairs leading to the dorms are enchanted to keep male students to go into the female dorms. And vice versa."
Next was Thalia "Don't worry we have a way, Nico can shadow travel, and worse comes to worse I can use some of my Huntress' skills."
I leave it to that because I trust them and I believe they have thought of everything, do to one being the daughter of Athena. I get to the next point that was worrying me.
"So how are explaining the scars, the SPQR marks, and the special skills?"
Jason answered "We will say that the ones with the tattoos got them of our own free will. As for the other two you should ask Percy or Annabeth."
Before I could ask Annabeth answered "We will explain that during one of the wars against Witch Hunters, Percy got caught by distracting them to protect younger witches. And they tried to get info out of him but he didn't break. As for the special skills we decided that our 'school' splits you up depending on what talents you have. And that we, due to our 'special' heritage, have a stronger magic for specific type of spells. For example Percy is great with anything liquid based, Jason, lighting, Leo Fire."
I had one more thing to say "Before I let you guys go to bed, I just want to let you know that my hands are currently tied with the sleeping arrangements. And I will continue to do everything in my powers to fix this. Now off to bed" I say as the doors open and the prefects come to show them to the dorms.
I have a few things before I go to bed myself, I had to IM Chiron, and Lady Hecate, to give progress update. I have to appeal to the wizmagot about their sleeping arrangements. And I have to continue to look into what Tom was planning.
That is it for this chapter.
Reviews are appreciated, and welcome.
Next will probably be first night, and them getting schedules and maybe a class or two.
If there is something you want to see don't be afraid to ask or put up your opinion.
Until Next Time
The King of Hades
