Hey guys, I think I'm going to make Percy and Nico students, as well as teachers. I just feel like it will add plot elements. Should I go back and fix previous chapters to align with this? (Percy is a Hufflepuff and Nico is a Slytherin)

The next day was a Saturday, so as me, Dray, Blaise, Theo and Viktor headed down to breakfast, we made plans to show our guest around.

"So, wuht are di cestle and gohroonds like?" Asked Viktor.

"It's absolutely beautiful" I said in response. "I've spent hours roaming the grounds while I needed time to think. There are also some amazing hidden spots almost no one knows about."

"Vell, I am excited to see dese hidden spots."

After breakfast, we decided to start outside, while it was still cool out.

We walked out the doors, and I saw Percy had just walked out, and they were chatting playfully. "Hey Perce, hi Nico!"

Percy turned around and spotted me "Oh, Harry, Draco, what's up?"

"We're just showing Viktor here around, showing him all of the secret spots."

"Well, me and Neeks explore the forest quite often and have found some interesting places there. Now, Viktor, I understand we'll be having many classes with you? And then there's physical defense of course, which we teach."

"Cuhrect, dat is, if you ere sevent year."

"Yeah, I'm a Hufflepuff and Nico's a Slytherin, so you'll probably have every class with at least one of us."

"I cauhn't wait!"

"Alright mates, shall we head down to the lake?"

"Let's go!" exclaimed Percy.

We explored the grounds for a while, getting to know each other. We didn't really get into much deep stuff, but we started getting more personal, sharing stories, things like that.

Along the way, we found a girl from Beauxbaton, Fluer Delaceur, talking with Cedric Diggory. They joined our walk about 30 minutes in, and I felt like I had known them the whole time I'd been at Hogwarts.

We had just about finished up with the tour when Percy and Nico said they had one more place to show us. I was amazed that in the month they had been here, they knew of more secret places than I.

I decided to ask about something I was very curious about. "Viktor, I noticed that you seem to... not enjoy Dumbledore's presence that much. And Fleur as well. Hell, even you, Cedric, I've noticed have been looking at him with distaset recently. May I ask your reason?" Silence. "I know you're probably thinking 'Harry adores Dumbles, he'll take offense.' Well, let me tell you, recently, I've had some dislike for the man as well."

Cedric was the first to tell. I guess his sense of loyalty was so strong he could tell that I was no longer loyal to old Dumbles. "I found some blackmail letters from him to my dad. I couldn't figure out what they were about, but I hate when someone tries to control my family."

Viktor went next "Dumvledore accuhused my vamily of working vor de Dark Lord."

Finally, Fleur decided to share "Dumvledore vas never kind to ze French, simply because many of us 'ad ties to ze Lestranges. Now, 'Arry, tell us your reason for not liking ze fellow."

"Not here. There is a place in the castle called the Room of Requirement, which Percy and Nico showed me. It is the best place to explain. But not today. I will do it after the drawing of the champions."
