Demigods at Hogwarts (A Percy Jackson and Harry Potter Crossover)

6. The Great Dumbledore Group Hug

Thalia POV

After all the dramatic smoke from the fireworks cleared up, an old, crooked man was revealed. He didn't look like much to me. All of Hogwarts gasped dramatically, gaping. I waved my hand in front of a 6th year Gryffindor's face, trying to wake him up. Nothing.

Harry was the first one to snap out of it. He started cheering like a madman, and then went up to the old dude and hugged him.

"Professor Dumbledore! I- How??!" Hermione stuttered. She ran up, and embraced this "Professor Dumbledore".

Professor McGonagall was the next to go up and join in on the group hug. "Albus?! How in heavens did you manage to- you know-?!" She gasped, holding her chest.

"I have my ways,'' he said, winking an electric blue eye.

All of Gryffindor soon joined the group hug, followed by Hufflepuff and a couple of Ravenclaws. My poor sparky got swept up with the Hufflepuffs, and was nowhere to be seen in the giant pile of limbs surrounding the old professor. Slytherin awkwardly stayed seated and clapped halfheartedly.

"CAN SOMEBODY TELL US WHAT THE HADES IS GOING ON HERE?! I yelled, my voice lost in the jubilated cheers. I exchanged looks with my friends, who looked just as lost as I felt.

A short, wobbling professor with a balding patch on the top of his head, did his best to utter an explanation. "It- it can't be! Oh Merlin, Dumbledore is back! I can't believe it!" He did a happy dance before joining in on the group hug, which was by now taking up more than half of the great hall.

I was confused and annoyed enough to stab a Hufflepuff when a Ravenclaw with tufts of dirty blond hair, strange vegetable earrings, and silvery blue eyes grinned widely as she walked up to us. I must admit I backed away a little.

"Hello!" Her lyrical voice somehow carried over the noise.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Luna," She said, pointing to herself. "And that's Dumbledore." She added, pointing to the old dramatic man who was currently located somewhere in the middle of the giant hug. "He died a while ago, but now he's back. I don't understand how that works, do you?" She asked, her curious grey eyes peering up at me. She skipped away when I didn't answer.

Leo muttered under his breath once she was out of earshot "Been there, done that."

I looked to the death duo for help. Hazel narrowed her eyes, and Nico shrugged.

"The guy has blood on his hands, I can tell you that much."

A thousand fireworks and autographs later, the feast was finally over. 

/Well I'm officially crazy. I've dedicated a chapter to a giant group hug. Way to go me! And don't forget to comment which house you're in!/

Peace out! :)
