Halfbloods at Hogwarts

Chapter 8:

Hazels POV

I liked being a hufflepuff. Our colors are pretty, our mascot if cool, and my boyfriend and my brothers boyfriend are Hufflepuffs too. Except, there is one little problem. The name. Like, what kind of name it Hufflepuff? I really feel bad for the ghost we got named after. Anyway, I got dressed in my new school robes, gathered up my books and wand, I went downstairs were Will and Frank were waiting for me. "Come on Hazel, we need to meet up with the others before breakfast" Will said. "Good morning to you too." I replied, as we walked out the painting door. Percy, Annabeth, Leo, and Lester were already waiting for us at the agreed meeting spot. "Who are we missing?" Annabeth asked looking around our group. "The Slytherins. A.K.A all the people who have to be dragged out of bed in the morning." Will said. "We're here!" I heard Piper say behind me. I turned around to see Meg, Piper, and Nico walking towards us. I said Hello to the girls and grabbed my brother for a hug. "It's too early." he complained. "No it's not. It's 8:00." I said. "Exactly," he agreed, "early." I passed him over to Will, and turned back to the rest of the group. "Okay. What are we going to do about Harry?" I asked them in Latin. Half the group understood, the other half looked confused. "Umm...can our secret language be Greek? I don't do Latin." Percy said. "And don't do Greek!" I huffed. "Fine. What do we all do?" Annabeth asked us. Nico snorted, and Leo opened his mouth to say something, but Will elbowed him. I didn't get it. "You guys really? Anyway, here's the plan. We all have the same schedule, so we all will keep an eye on Harry. Okay?" Annabeth said. We all nodded and she smiled. "Good. KNow we need to get to breakfast." Nico and Will walked up to frank and I. "Do you see all these ghosts?" He asked me. "Um, no." I said. He shook his head. "It's amazement that they can stay under dads radar." He said. He kissed me and Wills cheek, before he ran to join Piper and Meg at the Slytherin table. " Oh good. For a moment, I thought he was going to kiss my cheek too." Frank said shuddering. I frowned at him. "I wish that you and Nico got along better." I said. We arrived at our table and sat down. "It's not that I don't get along with him. I just don't want to be kissed by the guy." Frank said. "Mmm. You're missing out." Will murmured. We both started at him. His cheeks turned pink and he said, "I'm just saying.." We ate breakfast and then went to class. I have to admit, I was actually excited, even though we were only here for a quest on Hecate's orders.

Our first class was Defense Against the Dark Arts. The teacher in the class was... interesting looking. He had blonde hair to his chin, a wide face, but the weirdest part about him was the strap around his head that held in a blue eye on top of were his regular eye should be. And when I say blue eye, I don't mean the iris of the eye was blue, I mean the entire eye, except for the black pupil was blue. I creeped me out. We sat down, Frank and Nico on either side of me, and Will next to Nico. Piper was in front of Nico, next to Harry. Ron and Hermione sat next to each other. Annabeth sat next to Hermione, with Percy next to her. Lester sat next to Percy, with Meg next to Lester. Leo was next to Meg, and from where I sat, I could see him playing with fire under his desk. "Leo!" I hissed. He quickly extinguished it and gave me a sheepish grin. I rolled my eyes and looked back to the front of the class. "Hey kids. Welcome to Defense in Dark arts. My name is Professor Moody." the blue eyed guy said. We all stared at him. "I bet you all are wondering about my eye." he continued. We nodded. "Well, I'm not going to tell you about it." He said. Wow. Okay, that was helpful. I could see Harry, Ron and Hermoine exchange glances. Hmm, suspicious. "Did you see that?" I asked Nico. "wha?" Nico said, breaking his gaze away from Will, who was paying attention like the good little boy he was. I rolled my eyes. " I said Harry, Hermione and Ron looked at each other!" I whispered in latin. He rolled his eyes. "So? I'm looking at you right now." He whispered back (still in Latin). I rolled my eyes this time. "I'll tell Annie later." I muttered. So much for getting help from my dear dear brother.
