Piper's PoV
Over the Holliday we became great friends with the golden trio and had a lot of fun everyone was impressed with our quidditch skills Harry and Percy were competing for the 8th time before we get on the Hogwarts express tomorrow. Harry even agreed that if Percy became a Gryffindor he wouldn't mind alternating with Percy for the role of seeker. The order the Weasley's Harry and Hermione know about us being demigods we told them when Hecate had turned up and informed us that he was to become a Animagus. Harry was a long snake whose colour changes he has marks for glasses and a much smaller scar Percy and Harry were to register this year they had been told by Hecate too lie about the markings which they had.
3rd person PoV
Harry had a troubled night's sleep. His parents wove in and out of his dreams, never speaking; Mrs. Weasley sobbed over Kreacher's dead body watched by Ron and Hermione, who were wear- ing crowns, and yet again Harry found himself walking down a corri- dor ending in a locked door. He awoke abruptly with his scar prickling to find Ron already dressed and talking to him and Percy who was fiddling with his gold ring that turned into a celestial bronze knife or dagger whatever you call it "....better hurry up, Mum's going ballistic, she says we're going to miss the train. . . ."
There was a lot of commotion in the house. From what he heard as he dressed at top speed, Harry gathered that Fred and George had bewitched their trunks to fly downstairs to save the bother of carrying them, with the result that they had hurtled straight into Ginny and knocked her down two flights of stairs into the hall; Mrs. Black and Mrs. Weasley were both screaming at the top of their voices.
"- COULD HAVE DONE HER A SERIOUS INJURY, YOU IDIOTS -"
"- FILTHY HALF-BREEDS, BESMIRCHING THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS -"
Hermione came hurrying into the room looking flustered just as Harry was putting on his trainers; Hedwig was swaying on her shoulder, and she was carrying a squirming Crookshanks in her arms.
"Mum and Dad just sent Hedwig back" - the owl fluttered obligingly over and perched on top of her cage - "are you ready yet?"
"Nearly - Ginny all right?" Harry asked, shoving on his glasses.
"Mrs. Weasley's patched her up," said Hermione. "But now Mad- Eye's complaining that we can't leave unless Sturgis Podmore's here, otherwise the guard will be one short."
"Guard?" said Harry. "We have to go to King's Cross with a guard?"
"You and Percy have to go to King's Cross with a guard," Hermione corrected him.
"Why?" said Harry irritably. "I thought Voldemort was supposed to be lying low, or are you telling me he's going to jump out from behind a dustbin to try and do me in?"
"I don't know, it's just what Mad-Eye says," said Hermione distractedly, looking at her watch. "But if we don't leave soon we're definitely going to miss the train. . . ."
"WILL YOU LOT GET DOWN HERE NOW, PLEASE!" Mrs. Weasley bellowed and Hermione jumped as though scalded and hurried out of the room. Harry seized Hedwig, stuffed her unceremoniously into her cage, and set off downstairs after Hermione, dragging his trunk.
Percy's PoV
I grabbed my trunk put Luke on my shoulder and followed Harry downstairs. Mrs. Black's portrait was howling with rage but nobody was bothering to close the curtains over her; all the noise in the hall was bound to rouse her again anyway.
"Harry, Percy, you're to come with me and Tonks and you're mum," shouted Mrs. Weasley over the repeated screeches of "MUDBLOODS! SCUM! CREATURES OF DIRT !" "Leave your trunk and your owl, Alastor's going to deal with the luggage. . . . Oh, for heaven's sake, Sirius, Dumbledore said no!"
A bearlike black dog had appeared at mine and Harry's side as Harry and I clambered over the various trunks cluttering the hall to get to Mrs. Weasley.
"Oh honestly . . ." said Mrs. Weasley despairingly, "well, on your own head be it!"
She wrenched open the front door and stepped out into the weak September sunlight. Me Harry and the dog followed her. The door slammed behind them and Mrs. Black's screeches were cut off instantly.
"Where's Tonks?" Harry said, looking around as they went down the stone steps of number twelve, which vanished the moment they reached the pavement.
"She's waiting for us just up here," said Mrs. Weasley stiffly, averting her eyes from the lolloping black dog beside Harry.
An old woman greeted them on the corner. She had tightly curled gray hair and wore a purple hat shaped like a porkpie.
"Wotcher, Harry," she said, winking. "Better hurry up, hadn't we, Molly?" she added, checking her watch.
"I know, I know," moaned Mrs. Weasley, lengthening her stride, "but Mad-Eye wanted to wait for Sturgis. . . . If only Arthur could have got us cars from the Ministry again . . . but Fudge wouldn't let him borrow so much as an empty ink bottle these days. . . . How Muggles can stand traveling without magic . . ."
"Hey Tonks I was wondering if you could tell me where my mom is" I pleaded.
"Sorry she couldn't make it" Tonks replied.
But the great black dog gave a joyful bark and gamboled around them, snapping at pigeons, and chasing its own tail.
It took us twenty minutes to reach King's Cross by foot and nothing more eventful happened during that time than Sirius scaring a couple of cats for our entertainment. Once inside the station they lingered casually beside the barrier between platforms nine and ten until the coast was clear, then each of them leaned against it inturn and fell easily through onto platform nine and three quarters, where the Hogwarts Express stood belching sooty steam over a platform packed with departing students and their families. Mr Weasley had explained to me Hazel and Piper how to get onto the platform earlier.
"I hope the others make it in time," said Mrs. Weasley anxiously, staring behind her at the wrought-iron arch spanning the platform, through which new arrivals would come.
"Nice dog, Harry!" called a tall boy with dreadlocks.
"Thanks, Lee," said Harry, grinning, as Sirius wagged his tail frantically.
"Oh good," said Mrs. Weasley, sounding relieved, "here's Alastor with the luggage, look . . ."
A porter's cap pulled low over his mismatched eyes, Moody came limping through the archway pushing a cart full of their trunks.
"All okay," he muttered to Mrs. Weasley and Tonks. "Don't think we were followed. . . ."
Seconds later, Mr. Weasley emerged onto the platform with Ron and Hermione and piper and Hazel. They had almost unloaded Moody's luggage cart when Fred, George, and Ginny turned up with Lupin.
"No trouble?" growled Moody.
"Nothing," said Lupin.
"I'll still be reporting Sturgis to Dumbledore," said Moody. "That's
the second time he's not turned up in a week. Getting as unreliable as Mundungus."
"Padfoot stop whining" I said to Sirius.
"Well, look after yourselves," said Lupin, shaking hands all round. He reached Harry last and gave him a clap on the shoulder. "You too, Harry. Be careful."
"Yeah, keep your head down and your eyes peeled," said Moody, shaking Harry's hand too. "And don't forget, all of you - careful what you put in writing. If in doubt, don't put it in a letter at all."
When we had all got on the train Harry, Ginny, Hazel, Piper and I went looking for a compartment while Ron and Hermione went to the prefect carriage after watching Sirius chase the train out the station we found one with two people who I thought I would never see again.
"Neville Luna your supposed to be dead" I screeched walking into the compartment "it was for your own safety" they retorted.
We all sat down I cast a notice me not and silencing charm on the door.
"I assume you're like us Harry and Ginny know explain?" Hazel and piper said "fine we left camp after the Titan war I'm a son of Demeter and Luna is a daughter of Athena" Neville said
"But we thought you were dead so many people died that night and you'd disappeared why didn't you contact camp how come you never told us you were wizard and witch" I screamed.
Hazel's PoV
Harry, Ginny, Piper and I were sitting listening to the shouting trying to pick up on what was going on and trying not to interfere as really didn't know who they were "We didn't have a choice and we can tell you witches and wizards because we knew you'd react like this and seriously what are you doing heres? "Luna said joining the conversation."Is there anyone else here i should know about and me Piper and hazel or here on a quest to help against Voldemort and we are pretending to be transfers from an American magic school and we have been taught by Hecate and know everything up to your year which is why we are here?" Percy said."Yes Draco is here and I'm assuming Piper is the daughter of Aphrodite and Hazel is the daughter of Hades/Pluto if you want I'll go find Draco" Neville said.
"yes yes go get him now!!!" Percy said.
