Percy P.O.V.

We had all entered the Gryffindoor dorm rooms when the three kids pointed out the girls and boys dorms. Instead, we headed up to a special dorm for us. There we can train and talk freely about camp and other demigod stuff. As I enter I notice 'Demigods' etched in Latin and then Greek on the door. It was right along the frame and if it wasn't for my ADHD I never would've noticed it. I know the Mist hides it, but I'm still nervous at something that's that dead of a giveaway being out in the open. We enter the hall at the top of the stairs and it has an open training room at the end and a door on each side, which are the girls' room and the boys' room. There is also a lounge and kitchen area for us to use.

"Nice digs." one of the Stolls comments. We all roll our eyes and make our way towards the dorms to catch some Zzzzs.

~Next Day~

We all strolled down to the Great Hall for breakfast. Wait, never mind the Stolls are running from Katie and Lou. We enter and fill our plates before once more offering the best parts to the gods. We sit down and eat like nothing happened. One of the other Gryffindoors, I think it was Hermione asked,

"Is there a reason you burn your food? And a more descriptive one then 'religion'. Like...what religion?" We all ignore her questions and continue eating. She huffs and starts muttering to herself but is cut off by McGonagall passing out our schedules. Since all of us only read ancient Greek and Latin ours are in those languages. (AN) Italics usually means the demigods are talking, reading, or writing in Latin or Greek. They all also know both as a gift from the gods.) My schedule is:

Potions

Defense Against the Dark Arts

Free Period

History of Magic

Lunch

Transfiguration

Charms

Care of Magical Creatures

Free Period

Herbology

Divination

I look at the other demigods' schedules and all of ours are identical. I guess that's a good thing, but with us anything could go wrong. Suddenly Harry yanks my schedule out of my hand. He stares it for a minute before asking, 

"Why's it written in a different language?" 

"It's our native tongue. Now forget you saw anything." Piper says with charmspeak lacing her voice. We all left to go to Potions. As we were walking I heard Ron warning Katie about the teacher. I turn and ask Annabeth,

"Ron just mentioned a Severus Snape. Isn't he that older son of Hecate who said he wanted to live a normal life?"

"You're right for once Percy. I guess this is his definition of normal."

"Looking at the past five years we've spent together it does look pretty tame." She laughed and agreed with me. We entered the classroom, but as we continued to laugh everyone else went silent. We laughed as we made our way to two seats in the front of the room. And we were still laughing when Sev came in. Annabeth had know him longer then I had, but Lou Ellen was closest with him, them being siblings and all. She ran up and hugged him, and to everyone's surprise guessing from the gasps he had aced the mean teacher persona. We all just nodded at him and Annabeth said,

"Good to see your 'normal life' is working out well, Sev."

"Yeah, sorry about that. I just felt like I really needed to be here and I did."

"Its fine. It was just that after the wars. Well, we didn't know if you knew or anything." He looked in between Annabeth and I and replied,

"I do think we need to all catch up," he smiled and continued "including Skittles." Now Skittles I remembered. She had left a couple weeks after I arrived, but in that time Luna and I had grown close. She was funny and a joy to be around. Annabeth, Katie, and Lou Ellen all yelped in excitement at seeing her again. I knew even Clarisse had a soft spot for the ever cheery daughter of Iris. "She's here?" Annabeth asked in wonder.

"Ravenclaw house. Now I need to teach so sit down."

"Kay, Sev." We all replied. We made our way to our seats. And he told us to start making the Potion of Dreamless Sleep, by following the instructions on the board. Harry asked,

"Why are there three sets of instructions?" Sure enough the instructions were written in English, Latin, and Greek.

"For the exchange students." He replied, as if it was obvious. We all started to work on our potions with only the sound of chopping and the hissing of the flames.

Harry P.O.V.

"Why would they need whatever those languages are if there from America?" I asked Hermione. 

"That's not important. They called him Sev. Sev. Nobody gets away with that. I wonder how they all know each other." Ron whispered.

"It is kinda strange. I mean he's far older then them so its not like they'd go to school together or anything." Hermione added in.

"Well, we can interrogate them after classes today." The rest of potions was uneventful except for all of the exchange students getting perfect scores. Actually, most of their potions were better then even Hermione's. Hermione, Ron, and I stayed back after going really slow in cleaning up, so we saw Professor Snape pass them all vials full of their potions. We all walked to DADA wondering why they need the Potion of Dreamless Sleep. We sat down and I got ready to blow Annabeth away with my prodigious in DADA. The new teacher this year was Lupin, who had come back after Professor McGonagall had hired him to. We had all been in Number 12 when she had cornered him and practically forced him to. Tonks didn't help either. 

"Good morning class. I'm Professor Lupin. I taught this class in third year, but had to leave. McGonagall asked me back so here I am." He continued on where we had left off in seventh year. Ron, Hermione, and I had missed much in seventh year, so that was good. At the end of class he mentioned how next class we would be doing a bit of physical combat, incase we ever lost or broke our wand.


(AN) Sorry that it just cuts off. This weekend is going to be really busy for me so I might not get anything uploaded. Whew. That was a lot. BYEEEE!)
