The Chosen Demigods

Chapter 28

HEY!!!!!!!!!

So, have any of you read the fandom by Anna Day? 'cause it's fricken amazing! It's the embodiment of a fangirl's dream! Definitely would recommend! Also, I'm sorry it's taking longer than usual for me to upload a chapter. I dunno what's been up lately. AND THIS MASHUP GIVES ME LIFE!

Also, do you guys have any idea's for what side adventures they might have at Hogwarts? Cause I think it's a bit mainstream if the entire story is just... you know. The plot. Geez that sounded much less stupid in my head. 

Anyway, since I said the disclaimer in the last chapter was for the entire book, 

l'heure du conte!

..............

Nico's POV

I leaned into Will's shoulder and looked out at the now disappearing King's Cross station. We were finally going to Hogwarts. 

"Hey Neeks?" I hummed. "What are you most looking forward to?" I thought for a second, and then replied. "Transfiguration." I felt Will shift as he looked down at me in surprise. "But you hated leaning it with Hecate?" I shrugged. "It's probably the only subject that hasn't changed, seeing as you-know-who's in charge now." I heard Will sigh as he wrapped his arms around me. "I guess." he mumbled.

"Hey guys, how did Hecate know what you-know-who would use the basement for, if it hasn't happened yet?" asked Piper. I groaned and sat up to face her. "She's a magical goddess Pipes. What did you think?" 

Piper's retort was cut off by the compartment door sliding open. "Um, is anyone sitting here?" 

In the doorway stood a dark-skinned girl with straight waist-length hair. Behind her was another girl who was nervously peering over her shoulder. "Go ahead!" said Hazel immediately, shuffling  over so that the girl could sit down. She let out a smile, sitting down and sticking out her hand for Hazel to shake. "Divani." she said smiling softly. "Hazel." said my sister brightly shaking the girl's hand.

"And you are?" asked Piper kindly asked the other girl who was still standing in the doorway. "Selena." She said smiling shyly. "Sit down!" said Will shifting closer to me so she could sit down. "Thanks." she mumbled, but she kept her distance. Divani chuckled. "She's just shy. May I know your names?" She asked Will and I. "I don't think I've seen any of you before." 

"I'm Nico, and this is Will." I said waving toward my boyfriend. "Pleasure to meet you!" said the sunshiny son of Apollo as he lent over and shook Divani's hand. "And I'm Piper." said the daughter of Aphrodite smiling. "Divani's such a cool name! It sounds kind of Indian. Is that where your family's from?" 

"Well, I'm a half-blood. My dad's a wizard, but mum's a muggle. He was born in America, but his parents were from India. When he was visiting them, he met my mum and apparently it was love at first sight." She grinned and drew her legs up toward her and crossed them. "But I was raised here." 
"Aw, love at first sight!" said Hazel beaming. "Does your name have a meaning?" The black haired girl shrugged. "I dunno. I never asked. What about you guys? What year are you in?"
"Sixth." said Will. "Same!" she said enthusiastically. "But I've never seen you guys before." I heard a scoff from my side. 

"Really Dee? It's not like you know everyone in our year." said Selena rolling her eyes. I smirked at the girl who was curled up in the corner. I liked her. Divani pouted. "Hey! I like to think I'm social okay!" Piper chuckled. "From what I can tell, you're pretty social. And yeah, we moved to England a couple months ago. We were homeschooled." Selena raised an eyebrow. "All four of you moved? Forgive me, but you don't all look related." Okay, so maybe I had to look out for her. She might be able to tell that we're different. But her question raised another problem. We didn't really have a cover. 

"Yeah, it's kind of weird. Basically, Piper's parents had moved into town a couple weeks before us, and because both our families were new, our mum's became friends. And then Nico's father came to our house for directions, because they had moved into the neighborhood next to us. He knew we were Wizards because he's a Legilimens, and then he told the other family. Hazel is Nico's half sister, and the four of us became friends. Piper had gone to Ilvermorny, but Nico, Hazel and I were all homeschooled." Okay what? I looked over at Will, who was playing it cool. But anyone who knew him knew he was freaking out. But kudos to him for the cover-up.

Selena nodded, but I could tell that she was still skeptical. "That's weird, but just saying, if you want to be the best in the year, you have Selena to answer to!" said Divani as she winked at her quiet friend, who blushed. "I-I'm not the best in the year..." mumbled the freckled witch quietly. Divani just giggled. "Yeah sure you aren't." 

"Dee?" came a voice from the door. Great. More people. Peering into the compartment was a fair-skinned and dark haired boy who was wearing a brown hoodie. Divani smiled. 
"Hey Cayden! This is Nico, Will, Haze and Piper." she turned to us her smile faltering. "Uh, is it okay if he joins us?" she asked uncertainly. Hazel beamed.
"The more the merrier!" Divani smiled. 

....

"So what do you think they'll teach us this year?" 
Selena frowned. "I'm not sure. It's not going to be the same, seeing as you-know-who is in charge now." The other students expressions told us more than we'd hoped to know. We'd been on the train for almost half and hour now, and the only way I was controlling my ADHD was by playing with my rings. How in Hades was I supposed to last 6 hours! Piper and Hazel had already become fast friends, but Cayden still hadn't opened up to us. I got it. I did that for most of my life anyway. 

"Ugh. I'm boreeeeed!" whined Will banging his head against the wall. "Shut it sunshine. You're not the only one with ADHD you know." I grumbled. "ADHD?" asked Cayden tentatively. Piper nodded. "Will, Nico and I all have it. Again, not something we can explain." Selena looked at curiously.
"Maybe it was a curse, from what I've it's not very common. Have you ever run into someone who'd want to hurt you?" I stiffled a laugh and exchanged looks with Piper. "Let's just say that there's a lot of people that don't want us here right now." said Will grinning. Hazel snorted, and turned to Cayden. "What house are you guys in?" Cayden fiddled with a simple bracelet he had on his arm. "I'm in Hufflepuff, but I'm rubbish at Herbology. Selena's a Ravenclaw and Dee's in Slytherin." he said. "I don't know why, but we clicked more than my friends in our houses did. That's good with me." he snickered. "I hate the hufflepuff commonroom."

"You do?" asked Will. "How come?"
"Well," began the freckled boy taking a deep breath. "For example, most of the people in Hufflepuff really love our common room, but I'm kinda claustophobic, and it's underground. I don't spend much time there, not to mention getting there is hell for me!"
"How do you get in?" 
"Tunnels." he said simply. Gods, he wasn't lucky.

"Uh one thing." he said nervously. "Are you two dating?" he asked me and Will. "Uh.." I was caught off guard by the question. How did he guess? "Yeah," I said slowly looking at him. "We are." He smiled. "Thought so." he said leaning back. "You are!" squealed Divani. "SHIP!!!" 

I stared at her, and then looked at Will, who was half-smiling, and half confused. "That is adorable." said Selena smiling. "I KNOW!!!!!!" yelled Piper. "You have no idea how many times i've told them to get married." she said rolling her eyes. Divani stopped fangirling and looked at Piper carefully. "I think we're gonna get along." she said grinning. 
"Oh no she plotting! HIDE!" yelled Cayden sarcastically from his seat. "But seriously you two. You need to hide it better if you don't want the whole school to know. It's kind of obvious. You're wearing rings, and have matching tattoo's." he said smiling. "Or maybe my gaydar's just on point." he said leaning back again. 

"It's your gaydar." said Selena promptly. "I didn't notice."
"I noticed the rings, but not the tattoo's. Their super cute by the way." said Divani calming down. 
"Gaydar?" asked Piper half smiling. Cayden leaned forward. 

"Cayden Williams, I'm ace." he said beaming. "Nice to meet you!"
