3rd person POV

The war with Gaia had finished a month ago. Leo had returned three weeks after the end of the war with Calypso in tow. It was late afternoon and the demigods were all relaxing on the beach when Nico came tearing through the forest. He called Percy, Annabeth, Thalia and Hazel to the big house.

At the big house they were joined by Chiron and Lady Hecate. Percy groaned as soon as he looked at the goddess. She sat waited for all his friends to finish before she began her explaination

"Demigods, I have a quest for you"

The resultant groan was instantaneous and long.

"I want you all to go to a school of witchcraft and wizardry called Hogwarts"

There were a few snickers as she said the name.

" Wizards and witches are people who I have blessed with magical powers. They use their power by holding a wand and saying spells. Recently a wizard, who called himself Lord Voldemort, has been trying to take over the wizarding world so only purebloods and half bloods, those with at least one magical parent, are considered proper wizards and witches. He has been trying to kill a boy called Harry Potter for years because a prophecy stated that a boy born at the end of July shall defeat him. I want you to join fifth year and protect Harry and his two friends, Ronald and Hermione"

"But Lady Hecate" began Annabeth "we don't have any power or knowledge of the wizarding world"

"Provided you agree I will bless you with both those things" Hecate replied "any questions"

"Why us?" Snapped Thalia

"I chose you because you are the children of the big three, the only person who can keep them in order, and my own protégé, who already has power. I will now bless you"

She walked around the room and touched them each demigod on the head.

"I will see you at the entrance to camp in 15 minutes to transport you to 12 Grimmauld Place where you will meet the Order of the Phoenix, the group who are trying to defend their world from Voldemort".


 Percy dragged his bag up Halfblood hill exactly 14 minutes and 59 seconds later. Annabeth and Hazel were already there, looking at Thalia and Nico, who were behind Percy, with amusement etched in their faces. There were 5 empty suitcases at the top of the hill.

Suddenly Hecate appeared, checked they were all present, and zapped them into an old, spooky house. Immediately they were surrounded by people holding sticks. A scarred man with a bright blue fake eye stepped forward.

"Who are you, tell the TRUTH"

"We are students that are supposed to be coming to Hogwarts this year" Annabeth replied

An old man walked in raised his eyebrows in surprise

"I did not expect you so soon" he said

"Neither did I" replied Percy. A few of the strangers snickered.

"I suppose you need to buy your equipment" The old man said, looking at the empty cases

"Harry, Ron, Hermione could you please escort the new students to the bedrooms and help them get settled in, bring them down in half an hour. You will go to Diagon Alley tomorrow".

Harry POV

When Dumbledore saw the new students he looked a bit surprised, he clearly didn't expect them today. They all looked very strong and fierce, I wonder why? We showed them to the rooms they would share with us. Boys in one and girls in the other. The black haired kid, who introduced himself as Percy, and Annabeth, the blonde haired girl, wanted a room together but Mrs. Weasley wouldn't let them. They unpacked the few personal belongings they had and then we were called downstairs to diner.

When we started eating the new kids looked awkward and picked at their food. Mrs. Weasley asked them why and they replied that their religion required that they sacrificed food by burning it before meals. She looked confused but conjured a flame. They all pushed the best part of their food in and muttered some indistinguishable words. They began eating with gusto.

Ron POV

They burned their food. BURNED IT. HOW COULD THEY?! WHAT TYPE OF MONSTERS WOULD COMMIT SUCH A DESPICABLE ACT?!

Percy POV

We sacrificed our food and started eating. The youngest redhead boy gave us a pathetic glare. The woman, clearly his mother, began asking us questions. She asked when we had first met each other. I replied that I had met Annabeth when I was 12. I met Thalia and Nico a couple of years later and then I met Hazel a few years ago. I explained that Thalia, Nico, Hazel and I were cousins on our Dads' side.

The man with the fake eye was still looking suspiciously at us, as though he expected us to pull out wands and start killing people. The man who looked like Nico, I'm pretty sure he was called Sirius, was looking thoughtfully at us, perhaps slightly distrustfully.

Annabeth eventually asked if we could go to bed because we were tired from staying up late, celebrating the fact that we were still alive. Mrs Weasly said yes and we trudged upstairs. Annabeth and I said goodnight and parted ways, knowing that this was not going to go well.

Hermione POV

We work up at two in the morning to see Annabeth shaking and swathing in bed and yelling things like "Percy" and "No". Suddenly she began screaming. Percy ran into the room and knelt next to her. After him ran the rest of the people in the house, trying to locate the source of the screams. Percy whispered to her and the scream turned into sobs. Percy turned around and looked at the group of spectators.

"You should probably go to bed" he said calmly before climbing in with Annabeth. No-one protested because everyone wanted a sleep but we all wanted an explanation.
