Alliance

Chapter 5

Harry’s P.O.V

                “Why do you think Dumbledore called us to his office?” I asked Ron and Hermione.

                “I don’t know, but I hope it has nothing to do with those bloody Americans. There trouble I tell you.” Ron says. Hermione just shrugs her shoulders and continues on to the office. I don’t think the Americans are bad, but there is something off about them.

                As we approached Dumbledore’s office, we heard clangs of what sound like sword on sword. We turned the corner and down the hallway stood the Americans. We really need to learn their names. Anyways, the one named Alex was fighting the other blonde. The others were standing around watching as the two fought dagger on dagger. I ran down the hall with Hermione and Ron not that far away.

                “Why are you letting them fight like that!?” I shout.

                “They could kill each other,” adds Hermione. The two girls stopped fighting and looked at us, as did the rest of the group. Then, surprisingly they all started laughing. The one with curly hair even fell on the floor because of how hard he was laughing.

                “Would you lot like to explain what’s going on?” Ron says angrily.

                “Oh gods, I’m sorry. I’m Alex.” Said Alex still laughing slightly. “We wouldn’t have killed each other, we were just training.”

                “For what?” asks Hermione, “A battle?” Everyone else’s faces all grew slightly more serious.

                “Yes,” said the guy in an aviator’s jacket, “That’s exactly what they were doing.” We all give them questioning glances, but they don’t explain. To break the awkward silence, I ask;

                “So, do you know why Dumbledore asked us to come here?”

                “Oh yeah,” said a guy who’s face slightly resembled a baby, “He said someone would take us to the kitchens since we haven’t eaten yet.”

                “Oh, ok. Follow us.” Hermione tells them.

                “Wait,” the other blonde says, “Let us introduce ourselves. I’m Annabeth Chase.” The other blonde stepped forward and said;

                “I’m Alex Ryder, Annabeth’s half-sister.” The boy with black hair and sea green eyes told us that he was Percy Jackson and Alex’s boyfriend. The boy with curly hair introduced himself as Leo Valdez and Annabeth’s boyfriend. A girl with light brown skin and caramel colored hair said she was Hazel Levesque and that the boy in the aviator’s jacket was her half-brother. The baby faced one said his name was Frank Zhang and he was Hazel’s boyfriend. The girl with the silver circlet said her name was Thalia and the guy with blonde hair was her half-brother. The emo looking guy said his name was Nico di Angelo. The blonde haired guy was Jason Grace and the girl next to him was Piper Mclean and she was also his girlfriend.

                “Sorry if that was a lot of names.” Said Alex apologetically.

                “It’s okay. It’s better than referring to you guys as the Americans.” I reply. They all laugh and even Ron cracks a smile.

                “I’m Harry. The girl is Hermione and the ginger is Ron.” I tell them.

                “C’mon. This was to the kitchen.” Ron tells them.
