Alex's P.O.V

A gasp escapes my lips as I enter what looks to be a great hall. The architecture of the place is amazing. The ceiling is enchanted to look like the night sky. The stars glow brightly and I recognize the constellation of Zoe, a hunter of Artemis who died a few years ago. Looking around, there seems to be roughly about 100 students sitting at each of the four tables. One table has a red and gold banner hanging above it with a lion on it. I'm guessing that's the Gryffindor table, at least from what Chiron described. The next table has black and yellow colors with a badger, I think, on the banner marking it as Hufflepuff. The last two tables have banners of green and silver with a serpent and a blue and bronze banner with an eagle. I would guess those are the Slytherin and Ravenclaw houses.

I know Annabeth is thinking the same things I am, which isn't surprising since we're both daughters of Athena.

"Wow." I hear Percy whisper.

"This place looks amazing. Gives Camp Jupiter a run for its money." I hear Jason tell Piper.

I notice that most of the kids seem to be staring at us which isn't too surprising. The trip to get here has not been easy and I think all of us just want to crawl into bed and sleep.

Harry's P.O.V

The Americans look like hell. There is no other way to describe them, but they all seem to scream power.

"Dumbledore, right?" says a brunette girl with a silver circlet in her hair.

"That is me Ms. Grace." She winced like the name cut her.

"She prefers Thalia and I'm Alex." Said one of the blondes.

"We would really appreciate if we could explain everything and get sorted tomorrow. We're exhausted. Monsters have been on our trail most of the way here. Once we hit the Atlantic we no longer had help from either camp. So can we just sleep please." The Alex girl said.

"Of course, Professor McGonagall will show you to your dorm in the Gryffindor tower."

"Thank you sir." Said a boy around 17 or 18 with black hair and sea green eyes from the look of it.

"Follow me please," says McGonagall. As the Americans pass us I hear Alex say to the black haired guy;

"Sir? Since when did you have manners seaweed brain? "

Seaweed brain I thought, what does that mean? I glance at Ron and Hermione and see my own confusion reflected in their faces.

"What did they mean by monsters?" Hermione asked us.

"I don't know," says Ron, "but they seem a bit dodgy, especially the one with the big aviators jackets."

"Don't be so judgmental Ronald. They may be here to help." Hermione scolds.

"Well what do you think Harry?" asks Ron.

"I don't know. I have no idea why they're here. And why would they be teachers as well as students?" Both Hermione and Ron look at me and shake their heads. Sighing, I can't shake the feeling that tomorrow is going to be very eventful.
