Half-Bloods At Hogwarts

Chapter Seven

This is for you Lauren.

When I woke up, no one was in the boys room room. No Leo, who mysteriously caught fire during the night (probably a long term curse) No Frank, who involuntarily changed into his bulldog animugus when he slept, no Jason who seemed to zap me every time I woke him up, and no Nico, who it always seemed to be darker by. Since no one was in the room, I went downstairs for breakfast. Everyone was there, except for Percy and Annabeth again. One of the new wizards dropped their fork again, and they all dove under the table as usual. I wonder how often they dropped forks. About half-way through breakfast, Percy and Annabeth came down. And they looked ugly, to say the least. About everyone dropped their forks, except the exchange students. And they always drop their forks, so that was strange.

Percy and Annabeth were pale and shaking. They had red eyes with huge bags under them, and looked exhausted. They plopped down and started eating as if nothing were strange about them.

"Bloody- you look like you've been to hell and back!" Exclaimed Ron. I rolled my eyes. How does he know what someone looks like when they've been to hell and back, it's not even possible.

But all the new wizards winced and then looked angry. I even heard Thalia start saying "you have no clue-" through gritted teeth. The order looked like they knew why they were mad, but didn't tell us. Percy concentrated on eating his eggs with his head down, and Annabeth looked like she was trying to not punch Ron in the face. All the other transfers stood up and left, muttering in another language. The second Percy finished his eggs and pancakes (which Mrs. Weasley turned blue for him) he left, and Annabeth went up with him. Soon, no one could really take the silence, but no one wanted to start conversation, so we all just excused ourselves, then went to attended to our own business.

Percy pov

I kept reminding myself in my head 'Ron didn't know, Ron didn't know'

"Oh dear, look at the time!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. It was just past ten. "Is everyone packed?" she asked. We all nodded. While we came here with just backpacks (and Jason's and Piper's duffel bag) we had to get suitcases to hold not only our clothes, but our new uniform and robes and books and supplies. She did a spell that brought all the suitcases (or in the wizards cases, trunks) towards her, then shrunk to fit into a small bag. She picked up the bag, and we went outside.

"Alright everyone, please hold hands, Leo, please don't make that face" Mrs. Weasley said. We all held hands, and in a second, we were in a completely different place. In front of us was a huge, brick, train station. I looked around, and noticed that none of the mortals, err, muggles seemed to even noticed we appeared out of no where. Maybe the wizards had their own mist, or maybe ours was just hiding us. I dunno.

We went into the station and stood in front of one of the posts between platform 9 and 10.

"Umm, Mrs. Weasley, we're standing in front of a wall" I said, stating the obvious.

"Yes, yes dear, to get to the station we're going to, I need you to run through the post. Fred?" she said. Fred nodded and smiled at George, then ran into the post. Correction, through the post. One second he was there and the next, he wasn't. He was gone, not a bloody Fred pancake, but gone. I looked at Annabeth who had an impressed look on her face, while almost all the other demigod's jaws were on the ground. Next went George, who also disappeared. Then Ginny, who passed right through, and the trio, who were gone the second they hit the wall.

"Percy dear, why don't you go first?" I frowned. What if the wall didn't work on demigods? The others agreed, and were practically pushing me into, no through the wall. I closed my eyes at I went through it. It felt like how it felt when I passed through the exit of the Kekrops home during to giant war. When I opened my eyes. I was in a new completely different place. There were students in robes, and students who still haven't changed. People pushing trolleys around with those giant boxes, trunks, I think they were called, and cat owls and the occasional toad. I soon found the rest of the Weasleys and then the demigods. Mrs. Weasley gave us our bags and we boarded the train.
