"Aren't you excited?" Hermione gushed as the trio ran through the hallways. "Yeah, it means more food!" Ron said, beaming. "Why is it always food with you?" Hermione asked, ignoring Harry pushing gently past her and looking out for the arriving visitors (A/N: no Dumstrang or Beauxbatons, so Bill and Fleur have met and are dating already). "Look!" Neville cried out, pointing to the sky. A bronze warship sailed out of the clouds, a dragon head breathing fire. "What up, Wizards?" A young male voice called. "Don't mind us, we're just about to land and,..." "VALDEZ!" Multiple voices called out. "Sorry." Valdez replied. "Well, you get the message." When the ship landed in the lake, Harry watched in awe along with the rest of his classmates as 10ish teenagers and, was that a CENTAUR? Whoever he was, he and Dumbledore greeted each other like old friends. "These are my best students." Harry heard him say as Hermione and Ron stepped in line beside him. "I'm sure my best can't wait to be introduced." Dumbledore replied. "Are Clarisse and the Berkians here?" Dumbledore shook his head. "Clarrisse is always on time. She'll be here in a few days. In the mean while, DINNER!"

As they walked up to the castle, Hermione heard a voice behind her say, "Maybe witches and wizards are legacys of Hectate." "I'm Hephaestus' legacy." A male voice added. "No, stupid, you're his son, not grandson or ext." Children of gods? That was new. As she sat next to Ron, who was looking expectantly at his plate and Dumbledore, she got a feeling dinner would wait. "Dumbledore's probably going to introduce them," she whispered, gesturing to a table where the visitors sat. "Hogwarts!" Dumbledore called, "I would like to introduce an old friend of mine and his students. This is Chiron." He gestured to the centaur who bowed his head politely. "Perhaps you'd like to take it from here?" Chiron nodded and walked in front of the visitors table. "These are my students of Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. When I point to you, say your name and your parent." He pointed at a boy who looked remarkably like Harry. He stood up and grinned. Suddenly, all the water from the goblets sat in the palm of his hand. "Percy Jackson, and if you haven't guessed by now, my dad is Poseidon." "Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. I apologize for my boyfriend, Percy, here." "Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus." He grinned and a flame danced across his hand. People stared at him in awe. "Piper McElean, daughter of Aphrodite. You best be careful." Her words rang out across the hall, Hermione had the feeling that if angered this girl could be dangerous. "Jason Grace, son of Jupiter." "Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus. I'm older, but then again, I look younger because I'm a Hunter of Artemis. No boys for me." "Frank Zhang, son of Mars." With that he transformed into a wolf and back again. "Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto."  "Renya Ramírez-Arellano, daughter of Bellona." "Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades." He looked up at the ghosts swarming around the room, playing pranks and ignoring him. He held out his hand and the ghosts froze and zoomed out of the room. Finally, the last teenager stood up. "Will Solace, son of Apollo. Just ignore my grumpy pants boyfriend over here." He said, gesturing to Nico. Nico frowned and stuck out his tongue.
