Annabeth POV:

"It can't be..." I murmured under my breath, fingers tracing the page a few times. Then again, was it really impossible? Demigods had been around for centuries, were wizards any different? After Kronos was defeated, Percy and I had soon encountered Egyptian magicians then Roman demigods, then not long after another underground world of witches and wizards. Even Greek demigods and monsters were foreign ideas to us once upon a time and had been undercover for so long. Who's to say none of these groups interacted with each other? Humans with gods and goddesses. Those from other pantheons meeting each other. Thinking to the number of kids in both Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter the concept of gods and goddesses mingling with witches and wizards didn't seem so far-fetched anymore.

"Myrtle, was there anyone specifically notable during your years here? Some students that were rather peculiar or..."

"Oh, I see how it is!" Myrtle scorned, putting her two hands on her hips, tears welling in her eyes. "You think I'm old, don't you? Well, I haven't aged at all I'll have you know and—"

"Myrtle," Percy spoke out. "We don't mean it like that."

"This shouldn't even be a question for me!" Myrtle complained, floating around the ceilings some more. "It's for the actual old ghosts like the Grey Lady, Nearly-Headless Nick but I bet none of them would like to speak to nosy little bullies like you. Still," A smile began working it's way upon her way, spreading her cheecks wide as she leaned on a wall with a reminiscent look on her face. "I do remember quite a bunch of nice boys here. One was a pale fellow, really quiet but that's what made him cute. He was some sort of Seer I think, always having constant nightmares about stuff that would happen. Awfully paranoid too, he never dared step outside the school and for some periods of time, even his dorms. Always staying at Hogwarts because 'it's safest here'." Myrtle gave a huff. "Tell that to someone who is alive."

"He stayed at Hogwarts often?"

"Yes, I think he was a half-blood, not sure about the situation of his parents though. Unfortunately, he wasn't too prone to me. Rather to Olive Hornby," Her face turned sour. "Such a nasty person, don't know what he saw in her. The whole school gossiped about them though, she was a smart girl alright, but she's every bit as cruel as you'd expect."

"Annabeth..." Percy glanced over at me, letting Myrtle's comments to fill the bathroom about how she haunted that Olive girl and then was forced back into Hogwarts. It's likely there were demigods at Hogwarts before us, but what good does that do for our current situation? We have barely any clues about the associate, whether he is a part of both worlds or found out about the other is something we can't tell either. Still... I looked back to the copy of the diary in hand.

"Percy, let's try going to the Grey Lady."

"What?" Percy looked over. "It's the middle of the night, maybe we should wait until tomorrow."

"Doesn't matter," Myrtle crossed her arms. "I bet the Grey Lady wouldn't want to talk to you no matter it's today or the day after."

"If not the Grey Lady, we can always talk to the ghosts of the other houses." Percy said. "But I don't think Myrtle is wrong about her not wanting to talk with us. From what I heard, she rarely talks to students who actually go to Hogwarts!"

"I'm still a Ravenclaw," I reasoned. "I'll find a way, go ask Nearly Headless Nick too. I think it's still a bit early for the other demigods to be asking around, but we can have some of them do so if they're willing." Through the windows of the bathrooms, sunlight had started to pour in more by more throughout our conversation. At that point, perhaps it would be best if we did do everything the next day.

I stood, carrying the diary in hand. "Let's do it tomorrow. Best without a lot of people around."


As expected, I went the whole day without seeing a glimpse of the Grey Lady though I assume if I tried to approach she wouldn't be too friendly either. "I didn't get much from Nearly Headless Nick." Percy said, his voice quiet as we walked around Hogwarts ground. "There were some oddballs after so many years, but a lot of demigod abilities can be mistaken for magic. Maybe we should just let this be, gods and wizards knowing of each other before isn't such a big deal. It's happening, kinda now."

"That's true, but if there were really connections early on we shouldn't overlook them. This piece of history might let us know more about the situation right now."

"Come," Percy caught my hand and began running closer to the Quidditch field. "We're playing today, let's not be late."

I laughed, "Aren't you afraid of fraternizing with the enemy? Besides, aren't we a little too early?"

"With you?" Percy teased. "Never. As for the early or not thing," He shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sure they rather this change of pace for me. Though, an empty quidditch field is just enough room for a game between the two of us."

"A quidditch game with only two people?" I smirked. It was still rather early so not many people were at the stands and we weren't dressed prepared either. Percy quickly tossed me a broom before flying up. "How's this going to work?"

"Maybe we can use a regular ball, and work with it." Percy suggested, taking out a ball.

I began to fly into the air. "I didn't even know they had regular balls here."

"They don't, but I brought this for fun. You never know when you need to hit something. Also, I was hoping we could some one on one time together. Ready?"

"Always." Percy began heading towards me, the baseball in hand as he zoomed forward. I flew forward to meet him, soon we were flying around the Quidditch pitch, both of us scoring some goals of our own. It wasn't until later on where we heard others calling us. "Percy! Annabeth! Come down!"

Turns out it, it was our Quidditch teams. "You should save your energy," Cho said. "Don't start so soon."

"It was all my idea," Percy said, sheepishly. "You can't blame a guy for wanting to have fun."

"You know what's more fun?" Ron chuckled with a smile. "Winning,"

"Yes," Bradley, the Ravenclaw Chaser remarked. "It will be."

I laughed. "Percy, I guess we should start getting ready."

"See you on the field!"


Hermione POV:

"Are you going to be joining us for the Quidditch match soon?" I asked, Hazel and some other CHB transfers walking alongside me. "I really recommend it, it's incredibly fun to watch."

"Definitely." Hazel confirmed, "Percy and Annabeth told us about the sport, their house teams are playing today right?"

"It is one of the must-sees at Hogwarts, you can't leave before you witness a game or two. When are you heading back?"

"Some of us soon, the others not so much." Hazel said. "There's some matters we have to attend to back in America."

"Oh, be sure to visit again!"

Hazel laughed, "We even haven't left yet! Come on, let's go see the game. Lou," She looked to another CHB student beside us. "Who should we cheer for? Percy or Annabeth?"

"Neither, I don't think we should get either of them mad." Lou Ellen Blackstone said quicky.

"They wouldn't do that."

"We should just cheer in general."

"Which is the stronger house?" Another CHB student asked.

"You'll see," I smiled.

We all gathered upon the stands, students earnestly waving banners and shouting cheers. Soon Hooch had blown her whistle and the teams were up in the air. Percy was doing a great job as a Chaser moving swiftly and easily through anything that got in his way. He soon passed it to Ginny Weasley who tried throwing it into one of the hoops where Annabeth deflected it. The game went on like that for a while and it was tied at 40 points each. Percy, as a chaser, was doing remarkably well on the field at the moment, whilst Annabeth was likewise doing a great job as Keeper. It seemed like a stalemate and the only action that would tilt the odds was the finding of the golden snitch.

The seekers of both teams were also their captains. Cho and Harry seemed a bit awkward around each other, however both of them were absolutely serious about winning the game. They had been flying around trying to catch a glimpse of the golden snitch which hadn't made any true appearance, however there were some false alarms. The game continued for another hour or so with Ravenclaw getting the favour after a goal - the score now 60 to 50 points.

There was a sudden glint of gold near the centre of the playing field. The two Seekers flew to it at a quick speed turning into blurs flying around the pitch. Some of the team didn't cease to stop playing though. Percy had gotten the Quaffle in his hand and was racing towards the goal in a quick second he threw the ball, Annabeth on her broom ready to block it from entering the hoop. It went through. Annabeth almost had it knocked back, but the Quaffle, at the last moment, decided to go through. There was a whistle right after Hooch flew back down after calling Gryffindor's win, Harry having the golden snitch in hand.

"How did you like the match?" I asked as we headed away from the pitch.

"A lot," Hazel said. "Flying on brooms at first seems like you're just going to get hurt really easily, especially when there's a ball trying to knock you off. but I would try it. We should learn to play sometime."

Turns out, there wasn't much of a chance for them to try learning with them. It had been only a few days since the Quidditch Match when a large portion of the CHB students were planning on leaving. Hazel was one in the first group that left by the end of the week, it was after another month where another group left, leaving the school to return somewhat to how it was before. The classes were still managing with less people, but it felt somewhat off. I thought back to Hazel's face before she left, what on earth was happening back at America?


Hello! How's everyone doing?
