"Welcome back students we are looking for an exciting and interesting year." Dumbledore introduces spreading his hands out in a welcome gesture. All the teachers clap and the students cheer.

After the cheering dies down. Dumbledore spoke "let us eat" and the food appears. Chats started to arise and people eat until one person voices they're thoughts.

"Professor what is he doing here?" Some brave kid from Gryffindor said pointing at Nico,who was standing in a conner which was shaded by shadows.

"Ahh I have heard all of your questions about young Nico here." Dumbledore mused looking at Nico with a twinkle in his eye. And Nico looked back at him with a small smirk.

"Nico here is a exchange student from American school of magic. His headmaster Chiron has sent him over to observe our ways of teaching. And maybe even next year Chiron will send over some of his students to teach us their ways." Dumbledore explained catching the confused and understanding glances.

"But sir. Why has the American School of Magic never been mention in any books?"

"Miss Granger you all ways have the most inquisitive questions don't you? Dumbledore said the twinkle increasing.

Hermione blushed and settle for a small curt nod. Causing Ron and Harry to let out small laughs. Hence Hermione glaring at them.

"Well the American School of Magic is only new unlike the books." Nico answered stepping out of the shadows surprising everyone.

Harry slowly raised his hand. "Professor why hasn't Nico been sorted yet." He asked and a mumble of agreement went around the room.

"Well we were just getting to that. Nico please make your way up here." Dumbledore mention for Nico.

Nico slowly walked towards the small stool not making eye contact with anyone. His stride was powerful and held confidence. He sat on the stool and waited patiently.

Professor McGonagall slowly made her way towards Nico with a dirty ragged hat. Nico eyes the hat suspiciously but didn't flinch when the hat started screaming.

Though if anticompetitive was surprised when he heard the voice of the hat in his head he didn't show it.

"Ahh your his son and heir. Hmm betrayal,hurt,death,war and love. Haven't seen one of your kind since a young son of Dionysus.Pollux yes that is his name nice boy put him in Gryffindor I did. Anyway bravery is one of your main traits though you are cunning and sly when needed. For the sake of your mission."

"Gryffindor!!!" The hat yelled and Nico calmly made his way to the Gryffindor table who were to shocked to cheer apart from two red head twins. Who were carbon copies of the Stolls apart from skins and hair.

"So Neeks welcome to Gryffindor it a no judgey zone." They said in unison with matching grins.

"Great" Nico mumbled burying his face in his hands. While the Twins slowly patted him on the back.

"So" said one twin.

"We" said the other.

"Haven't"

"Properly"

"Introduced"

"Ourselves"

"I'm Fred" said the first one grinning widely.

"And I'm George" said the other.

They both received a small slap on the back of their necks.

"Stop tricking him you idiots. He's Fred and he's George" the girl told Nico pointing at the opposite twin.

"Aye Evie you ruin all our fun" they whined rubbing the backs of they're heads.

Evie was in fact a very beautiful girl with long black hair and grey eyes. But she wasn't Nico's type.

She turned sharply and glared at the mischievous twins. "Well if you two would stop tricking poor Gryffindor's I wouldn't have to." She sharply replied before turning to Nico.

She stuck out a small pale hand with red nail polish. And Nico eyed it suspiciously before shaking her tiny hand.

"Evie" she said her voice a lot softer than when she was speaking to the twins. "Sorry about those two they are good once you get to know em." She apologised shaking her head in irritation.

"No it's fine they are two twins at my ca-school. Who are exactly like them." Nico replied wondering if Evie caught the slip. Well if she did she didn't show it he thought mentally shrugging.

She nodded before turning back to her food and digging in. At this one moment she reminded Nico of Thalia and he felt a wave of homesickness.

He shook his head nor the time before he too dig in. All the way throughout dinner Nico felt eyes on his back.

Nico walked through the halls of Hogwarts wishing to summon his sword. And to feel the familiar weight and texture of it's hilt.

His hand was itching and his face twitching. These wizards were incredibly annoying and prideful. Every time Nico walked past they would scowl and glare. Whispering something about a Dark Lord.

Nico and made some friends or at least he thought they were friends. His closet friend was Evie she reminded him of a mixture between Thalia and Bianca. They had bonded over Nico understanding her because he understood Thalia and Bianca. The twins always made Nico laugh and joke constantly reminding him of Travis and Conner

But the one thing that annoyed the Hades out of Nico was three people. The Golden Trio always asking questions it annoyed Nico to no end.

"Are you related to Voldemort?" Said the boy with the Lightning shaped scar.

"Why has your school never been mentioned in any of the books even the newest? Asked the girl with bushy brown hair.

"Are you evil?" Said the boy with orange hair. That question was by far the stupidest , who asks someone if they're evil apart from Percy.

Thanks for the votes and reads. Hope you like it. And if your reading my other book sorry for the wait I think I have come down with writers block.

And isn't little Nico just adorable.
