Sometime after Hermione and Ron came in, the compartment door opened once more and Draco Malfoy, son of Ares walked in. How many other demigods go to this school? (A/N greek/latin is underlined) "Talk to you later. Reputation to uphold. Have to play the enemy. Sucks." Draco said. "Malfoy, what do you want?" "Manners, Potter, or I'll have to give you a detention,' drawled Draco. "You see, I, unlike you, have been made a prefect, which means that I, unlike you, have the power to hand out punishments." "Yeah," said Harry, "but you, unlike me, are a git, so get out and leave us alone." (these lines belong to J. K. Rowling)  "Fine, Potter. Have fun with weasel and mudblood." "You know he's just faking, right?" "Yeah. I just wish we could be friends in public." Hermione said. "Have you practiced recently?" Nico asked. "Yeah. We have weekly meetings that Harry and Ron know nothing about." Hermione responded. "Do you know who the new teachers are going to be?" "No idea. Luna, Neville you?" "Nope" "Zip, zero, zilch" "I didn't even know there was a word for 'zilch' in greek. Luna, you are wierd." "Thank you." "Nico, Will, did you tell them about Percabeth?" "No. Do you want to?" "Percy and Annabeth are engaged." "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" "Yet again, I didn't know there was a word for 'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' in ancient greek. Yet again, Luna, you are weird" "Yet again, thank you." Then, Nico turned back into Small Bob and jumped onto Will's head and fell asleep. His way of saying 'this conversation is over. "He's an animagus?" neville asked. "We both are. Mine is just really big and mythical. I feel like I've had this conversation before. For some reason he really likes my hair." After hours of talking and Nico sleeping on Will's head, they finally got to the castle. And it really was a castle. "Most of the Athena kids would flip if they saw this place." Will murmured. Nico-the-skeleton-kitten mewed in agreement. "First years and exchange students over here! First years and exchange students!" "Neeks, let's go over there. That's were we're supposed to go." Will said to the cat on his head. They made their way to the person saying 'first years and exchange students'. When they got there the person saying 'first years and exchange students' asked "Isn't there supposed to be two of you?" "Yeah. He's on my head." "Not going to question it." a few minutes later they started heading toward a lake. "oh no. Neeks, you are going to have to be brave and not claw my hair out." thankfully Nico was asleep. hopefully he'd stay that way the entire time they are on the boat. They got on the boat with Will praying to Poseidon to not flip them. Or kill Nico. Thankfully they made it across safely. "Nico, wake up. I need you to transform back. Doctors orders." Nico-the-skeleton-kitten mewed groggily and jumped off Will's head, transforming as he fell until there was a very sleepy Nico standing in front of Will. "What?" Nico said groggily. "We're about to be sorted. Pretty sure you can't be sorted in kitten mode." "I guess you're right." "First years, over here. Exchange students too." said a strict looking woman in a cloak. They were led into a room off the great hall. Ghosts floated through waving to the first years but when they got to Nico, they stopped. They started bowing and wimpering. "My lord, please don't send us back to your father." "I won't if you register yourselves. Only two here are registered; the Bloody Baron and the Grey Lady. Peeves is a poltergeist so he is not my problem. You may leave." as they left, Nico's crown appeared again. He muttered something about how paperwork is his worst enemy before he realized that his crown was on his head "Seriously! This is the second time in two days!" he was thymomenos at his father for making his crown appear because it was scaring the first years. Soon the strict looking woman came into the room and asked them to file out. "Now we have exchange students as well as new teachers for the two new subjects. The exchange students shall be sorted first. Then the new teachers shall be introduced, then the first years." "Di Angelo, Nico." "GRIFFINDOR! DON'T PUT ME ON HIS HEAD! YOU COULDN'T ANYWAY BECAUSE HE'S WEARING THAT CROWN! GRIFFINDOR!" The hat bellowed. The Great Hall was silent as Nico went to go sit down. "Solace, Will." he walked up to the hat and as soon as he put it on, he heard a voice in his head say;  you're loyal enough for Hufflepuff, not quite learning geared enough for Ravenclaw, not ambitious enough for Slitherin, but ooh, whats that? You've argued the Ghost King into submission? Now that's something I would've paid to see! Better be "Griffindor!" The hat shouted the last word loud enough for the whole great hall to hear. he went to sit down next to Nico who brightened significantly when Will went to sit down next to him. "Now to introduce the new teachers. For Greek and Roman myths, the teacher is Annabeth Chase." the Great hall broke into applause. "Wait, where's Professor Chase?" Harry, who was sitting on the other side of Will asked. "You shall see." Annabeth took off her Yankees hat and took a bow. "For Wandless combat, the teacher is Percy Jackson." The Great Hall burst into applause as Percy appeared out of thin air hugging Annabeth. "Neeks?" "Yeah sunshine?" "Did you know Percy could do that?" "Nope." "Let's ask him after this."
