Demigods go to Hogwarts: Year 1

Kings Cross and Train Pt. 1

Ron's POV

The morning before heading to Kings Cross station was a total train wreck. Hermione spent literally any chance she could get telling everyone off for not looking like normal eleven year olds or like any other muggle in the world. Harry was trying to pull Neville out of bed and also running around screaming that he wanted breakfast. Ginny and Luna were dressed and ready at the door, watching the chaos unfurl. I just stood with them shrugging as they finally were dressed and we headed for the Leaky Cauldron.

Harry tried to hail a taxi, but failed miserably. Hermione was just about to try when a large group of kids our age left the pub. The black, messy haired guy whistled and a taxi appeared. He and his friends then began walking away. Harry and Hermione were silent as we hopped in the taxi and rode to Kings Cross.

We passed through the barrier and when we finally got on the train everywhere was full, so we couldn't sit together. There were three carts in a row that had two extra seats each. We split into groups of two, Harry and I, Ginny and Hermione, and Luna and Neville.

Harry and I pushed open the door and I cleared my throat. Three heads turned in our direction and I asked, "Can we join you? Everywhere else is full."

"Sure, come on in. The more the merrier," A guy with messy black hair that I recognized as the guy who had hailed our taxi. He had mesmerizing sea green eyes, and he was tan and muscular for his age. When he spoke, it was in an american accent.

The other two people in the cart could not have been more different. The one closest to the window had blonde hair that cascaded down her back in beautiful curls. Her eyes were stormy gray and seemed to be calculating everything. She was also tan and quite muscular.

The last girl had black spiky hair with an electric blue streak that matched her eyes. She was pale, but definitely did not lack muscles.

"Hi, I'm Annabeth," The blonde girl introduced herself.

The girl to her left with the black hair said, "I'm Thalia."

"I'm Percy," the guy across from Annabeth said. Annabeth nudged him and he just shook his head. Annabeth sighed and faced us again.

"What are y'alls names?" she asked.

"I'm Ron." I said sitting down next to Percy.

Harry came and sat down next to me smiling. He didn't notice the weird looks the other kids were giving him. Finally Thalia asked, "and your name is?"

Harry looked shocked. In for one was kind of happy that they didn't know who he was. Ever since the war, Harry had been acting a little more stuck up than usual. He replied, "I'm Harry, Harry Potter."

The others just nodded and pulled stuff out of bags they had packed. Percy was reading a book that was in a different language but the cover looked like that of Hogwarts, a History. Annabeth was reading a different book, but it was in the same weird language as Percy's. Thalia had pulled out this nightlight type thing that cast the constellations onto the train car roof. She was laid out on the spare seat and was muttering the different constellations under her breath.

Harry and I sat in silence before I decided to pull out my transfiguration book. I know, I don't usually study but I thought that maybe if I worked harder this time, school would be less of a chore. If I hated anything more than school, it was chores.

That left Harry to sit there in the almost silence to think to himself. I say almost silent because both Percy and Annabeth were tapping their toes in synchronization. Thalia was tapping her finger on the floor. Harry seemed agitated by it, but I found it kind of soothing.

Around two hours later, the trolley woman came by. Percy jumped up and Annabeth got up and followed him. Thalia was off in her own little world so I decided not bother her. Harry and I got a few different treats. Percy bought a whole bunch of chocolate and Annabeth grabbed a few chocolates for Thalia and some pumpkin pastries for herself.

We spent the next hour talking about American foods, mainly candy. Harry joined in occasionally, but he stayed for the majority of the time, out of the conversation.

Soon Harry and I left to get changed. Percy went in the compartment next door. Overall I found the group quite calming. I hoped that we would become friends during the year.
