Demigods at Hogwarts

Chapter Thirteen: Sortings and Pranks

*This chapter will have several POV changes.*

{Draco's POV}

Three months is far too short a time away from school. Well, at least the demigods will make things interesting this year in a way that hopefully doesn't damage much more than egos. Their Sorting will be intriguing, to say the least. I walked into the Great Hall with Harry and then we went our separate ways, me to Slytherin, him to Gryffindor. That sparked some talk, certainly, but we had known it would. When all the students were seated, McGonagall stood up.

"Students, welcome back to Hogwarts. Now, this year's Sorting will be a little different. We have some students from America who are studying with us this year. They will be Sorted after the first years and joining the eighth year class." That raised a lot of noise. The first years came in, and the demigods entered behind them, leaning against the back wall. I could see a bunch of people checking out Percy and Annabeth. When I looked around, I saw that most everyone was checking out one demigod or another. I tuned out the Sorting of the first years, only paying attention when someone joined our table.

"Now that our first years have been Sorted, it's time to welcome our American students to join us in this tradition." McGonagall stood up again and hushed us all. Flitwick opened a second scroll and read the first name.

"Thalia." Not having her last name known meant she went first, of course. Thalia walked up. While most students were in robes, Thalia wore her customary black t-shirt and ripped jeans and a sly smirk that frightened most. It was no question where she was going.

"Slytherin!" Thalia walked over and sat across from me.

"Calypso!" Were they not going in alphabetical order with the demigods? I watched as students stared at her white dress, which I had been assured would not be making many other appearances. She likes jeans too much for that.

"Ravenclaw!" The Hat bellowed.

"Arellano, Reyna!" Reyna marched up to the stool, the first one actually wearing the robes. The Hat took a moment or two with her before deciding Gryffindor.

"Chase, Annabeth!" Annabeth had broken the rules already, out of her robes and wearing a sweater and jeans. She got Ravenclaw, which was obvious.

"Di Angelo, Nico!" Nico, to everyone's surprise in his black jeans and t-shirt, got Hufflepuff. I caught Harry's eye, and he looked at me like, "Why are you so interested in their Sorting?" Thalia saw me raising my eyebrow at him and smirked. "Ten galleons says Percy ends up in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff." She whispered.

"Deal." The way I saw it, Percy had a chance at all four Houses, but was far more likely to end up in Slytherin or Ravenclaw.

"Grace, Jason!" Jason too was wearing robes as he joined Nico at the Hufflepuff table.

"Jackson, Percy!" Percy wasn't even trying to follow uniform (but then again, half of them hadn't bothered.) Wearing a teal skirt and white button-down with a white cape was over the top, though. Ten minutes later, Thalia was handing me ten galleons as Percy sat down next to her.

"LaRue, Clarisse!" She looked so uncomfortable in the robes that I almost felt bad for her.

"Gryffindor!" I appeared to be the only one surprised by this. She would've made a good Slytherin.

"Levesque, Hazel!" Hazel was wearing the robes, of course.

"I think she'll be Slytherin or Hufflepuff." Percy said lowly. "She's smart and brave too, but after the Hat's song, I'm more inclined to those two for her."

"Or you just want her out of trouble because you see her as a little sister." Thalia teased them.

"Hufflepuff!" Hazel sat next to Nico and grabbed a bagel out of his hands. Where he had gotten the bagel I did not know.
