New studies
Charms with Gryfindors
"Let's see, we've got Charms with the Gryfindors, Herbology with Hufflepuff, Dada with Slytherin, muggle studies with Slytherin, and finally potions with Hufflepuff." Wilbur read the timetable.
"It's D.A.D.A dude. Defence against the dark arts." Skeppy said.
"Dark Arts? What's that?" Wilbur asked
"It's Dark magic." George sighed.
"Why do we need to defend against dark magic?" Wilbur asked.
"Wizards think that dark magic is dangerous and evil due to what happened throughout history." George explained.
"But a lot of dark magic isn't evil." Wilbur scrunched his noise.
"No it isn't." George replied. "But wizards think it is."
"Well the most evilest wizards uses dark magic." Connor replied. "I mean I don't judge since we all have our opinions, but wizards don't really take dark magic lightly so be careful when you mention it."
Wilbur frowned a little but nodded. They walked to their first class Charms with the Gryffindors. Techno was already seated inside. The charms teacher was the kind looking white-haired teacher during the sorting the day before. Her name was Puffy, and she was the head of the Gryffindor house and also the deputy headmistress of Hogwarts.
She smiled and said. "Welcome children to another year! Today I see we have some new students, welcome welcome! I hear they are quite new with wizarding magic, but I have no doubt they would easily learn." She winked at the demigods.
"Does she know?" Wilbur used his powers to communicate to George and Techno in their heads. Wilbur's powers mostly specializes in things relating to music. He managed to figure out how to use soundwaves to communicate with people through their minds. For now he can only do it a few people at a time, but there was one time, he didn't know exactly what happened but he was able to communicate to the entire camp during an attack. He tried doing it again but it hasn't worked. George, who's powers relates to affecting people's minds as well, reckons that Wilbur was able to do it before, due to his huge desire to send the message to everyone, his soundwaves(not the attacking ones) was so strong, that it forcibly connected the minds altogether, allowing the source to send all of them a message.
"Yes, she is the deputy headmistress after all, when the headmaster can't help us, she will." George communicated back.
"Well I hope they're both trustworthy." Techno communicated.
"So! Today we will be practicing the summoning charm, now everyone grab your wands. Follow my movements and say Accio. AH-kee-oh." Puffy said to the class as she moved her wand in a semicircle movement.
"Accio." George easily got it on his first try.
"Wonderful job as always mr notfound." Puffy praised. George smiled at her in thanks before turning to watch his friends.
"Akleeo!" Wilbur tried before frowning when it didn't work. "Hmm, I think something is wrong with my wand."
"Will, you didn't even pronounce it right." Techno pointed out.
"I didn't? Huh."
Skeppy laughed before also trying the spell. "Accio!"
"Zak, you did the movement upside down."

Herbology with Hufflepuff
"Hello kids, welcome back to another year, for those the new Ravenclaws, I am Professor Ponk, head of the hufflepuff house and your herbology teacher." A blonde haired man greeted them. Wilbur thought the man was quite nice.
The man started teaching them about different types of magical plants which Karl seemed interested in. George knew his plant-loving and son-of-Demeter friend would easily ace the class. When he started talking about a plant used for medical potions, Wilbur perked up as well.
"How wonderful! Are we also going to learn how to make medical potions with plants?" Wilbur asked.
"Why that's a great idea mr Soot, I most certainly will talk to the potions teacher about it." Professor Ponk smiled widely.
"Professor Ponk, I have a question on this potion. It says that it'll need..." Karl continued to ask Professor Ponk who seemed delighted to answer.
By the end of the lesson, Professor Ponk seemed to be very happy with Karl's interest and love for plants. As well as Wilbur's natural curiosity for plants in healing potions.
_______
DADA with Slytherin
"Learning how to defend against dark magic...Hecate must know about this, though she'd be mad." Wilbur said to George as both of them walked to the classroom.
"She does, and she is quite annoyed she said so herself, but she agreed to not meddle with the matters of the wizarding community unless needed to." George replied.
The two walked in the class, seeming to be one of the first ones to arrive. Dream was already there with some of his Slytherin roommates.
"George!" Dream shouted giving a big wave.
George smiled and waved back.
"That's some chemistry you guys got there." Wilbur teased his friend. George nudged his friend with his arm as they went to sit down. Dream grinned at them as George took a seat beside him, and Wilbur took a seat next to George.
Fundy who was sitting on the opposite of Dream, glared at them, while Punz, who sat in between Dream and Fundy, nodded at the two in greeting.
Wilbur remembered them as part of Schlatt's gang. Just as he thought of the other boy, the voice of the said boy came from behind him.
"Ah Songbird, congratulations on getting in Ravenclaw. Shame you didn't get in Slytherin but no matter. Ravenclaw is the second best house." Schlatt said, not noticing or ignoring the glares that he was given by a group of Gryffindors that were passing through the open door of the classroom.
He took a seat in front of Wilbur, ignoring the others at the table. Only nodding at Dream "wastaken."
"Schlatt." Dream nodded back. They didn't like each other, but have mutual respect for each other's families.
Wilbur looked at George with a raised eyebrow, who just shrugged.
"Their families are of the same standing." George communicated.
"Tch, two subjects in a row with uptight Ravenclaws." Minx rolled her eyes before sitting down next to Schlatt. Quackity who arrived with her, sat on the other side of Schlatt.
"Please, as if we want this too Minx." Skeppy had also arrived with Eret and Connor. They went to sit on the table next to George's.
"Hello Children!" Luckily a voice came out before a fight could start. It was their headmaster, XD. "Since we couldn't find a replacement teacher for DADA, I will be teaching for the time being. Today we will be learning about counter curses."
"Hmm, will this counter curse also work against my power of cursing people to speak in rhymes?" Wilbur communicated in the middle of class.
"I'm actually not that sure. Maybe if the wizard who cast it is stronger than you? I'll ask Hecate later." George communicated back.
"What? No way! What am I supposed to do for revenge against someone in Hogwarts? I can't shoot an arrow and kill them! Sing all day to annoy them? I'll just end up healing them if they have any injuries! Oh! What if I injure them with an arrow, and heal and annoy them by singing all day! Phew, crisis averted."
George looked at his friend in disbelief. He nearly forgot about this side of him. Though Wilbur was quite forgiving and oblivious, if he notices someone’s bad intentions, he could be quite brutal.
"You seem worried songbird. Don't worry your pretty little head about it though, I've done this plenty of times." Schlatt boasted.
"He wasn't worried about that." George muttered.
“We will only be learning the different counter curses today, sorry to disappoint.” He added the last part when a wave of disappointed noises came from the students.
“Well, the new kids are certainly saved for the day. If they had a duel I bet they’d be demolished.” Quackity said not quietly.
Luckily Wilbur seemed to still be quite in his own thoughts, so he didn’t hear Quackity’s remark. George thought Quackity was pretty lucky that Wilbur didn’t hear him. If only Quackity knew that those ‘new kids’ he was talking about were demigods.
“Be nice Alex.” Schlatt said to the other boy. “I can help you train if you want songbird.” He winked.
Quackity rolled his eyes. “He’s become a f*cking simp like Dream.” Minx muttered under her breath.
Wilbur looked at him, finally breaking out of his own bubble. “Sorry what were you saying?”
George nearly snorted.
_______
Muggle studies with Slytherin
"Hello kids, I am your new muggle studies professor, Professor Philza." Phil introduced himself. "Today, we will be learning about muggle vehicles."
***
"So muggle children like to use these...scooters? Isn't that dangerous?" Dream asked.
"I think brooms are much dangerous than scooters Dream." George replied from beside him, flipping through his book.
"But scooters can't fly! And it has only two wheels! What if they are going down a very steep and tall hill!" Dream protested.
"Not flying is exactly why its safer. Also some scooters have three, which younger children tend to use. And I don't think children use scooters to go down a very steep and tall hill."
Dream continued to protest while George answered easily as if he's done it many times.
“They’re like a married couple.” Wilbur whispered to Eret who smiled in turn.
“Aren’t they just? They’re the second most predicted couple in Hogwarts after professor Ponk and professor Sam who got together last year.” Eret answered.
“Really? Who’s Professor Sam?”
“He’s the head of the Slytherin house. And also our potions Professor, he’s quite strict, but when he’s with Professor Ponk he becomes an entirely different person.”
“Different?”
“When we’re with someone we love, we show a different side to them no?” Eret smiled.
Wilbur hummed. He’s never dated before, or had a crush on anyone yet. Niki tells him that one day he’ll find love. He wondered when that would be. Would he act different too?
_______
Potions with Hufflepuff
"I am professor Sam, your potions professor. Follow my rules and learn or don't follow my rules and be gone." The professor said simply.
"He's pretty strict." Wilbur noted
"Yeah. He used to work in Azkaban. Not sure what position though since the only things I knew were at Azkaban were dementors and prisoners." Connor told them.
"Oh! Did you know the professor Ponk and Sam are dating." Skeppy told Karl and Niki.
"Really?" Karl was surprised by the fact that kind teacher was dating this seemingly stern teacher.
"Yep, they got together last year. We all saw it coming." Skeppy shrugged with a smirk.
"I think they seem like a lovely couple." Niki said with a knowing smile. "I noticed the stares the two were giving each other during the welcoming banquet on the first day."
“Man that’s adorable yet so sappy. Wished I noticed, I want to shout ‘Ooooo professor Ponk and professor Sam are staring at each other with goo goo eyes!’ And make them embarrassed.” Skeppy told the group, not noticing Professor Sam looming over behind him. The professor hit Skeppy’s head lightly with a paper.
“Don’t talk about other matters in class mr diamond, or would you rather get out.” Professor Sam said with a glare.
“Sorry sorry, geez Professor.”
“Now that mr Diamond, has decided to stop messing around. Shall we start the lesson? Today we will be learning about the Ageing Potion. For the new students, all you need to do is follow the instructions in your book, but remember to follow it carefully. Even one mistake can mess the potion up.”
“Ageing potion. My younger siblings would definitely love these.” Niki commented. “Thank goodness we don’t have these at camp.”
“Wait till you find about the love potion.” George said before walking to the back to get more ingredients.
“A love potion!?”
By the end of the end of the lesson, the only ones who managed to finish the potion were George, Wilbur and a brown haired girl from Hufflepuff.
“Making potions is so fun.” Wilbur exclaimed.
“How did you two do it.” Skeppy complained.
“Followed the instructions.” George replied.
“I did follow the instructions!” Skeppy defended.
“Right.” George shared a look with the rest of the group.

After classes
The demigod group gathered together once classes were done to chat. They decided to sit on a patch of grass not far from the school grounds.
"Shall I grow a tree here? I think it would be nice to gather here to talk once in a while under a large tree." Karl offered.
"That's a good idea Karl, let's ask the headmaster later." Phil agreed.
"So how was your first day of classes." George asked.
"It was truly wonderful, I can't believe you've gone here for 3 years!" Wilbur said in a joyful tone. "My favorite class is potions, it would be so helpful if we had those at camp."
"Herbology is my favorite!" Karl grinned.
"I like Transfiguration, it's very similar to my powers." Niki commented.
"We haven't gotten that class yet." Wilbur said. "I'm rather curious about it."
"I like Defence against the dark arts! Well not the against dark arts part, but the fact we get to fight! It's so cool! You agree right Techno?" Tommy asked.
"Actually I sort of like history of magic. It's quite interesting." Techno said.
"What about you Gogy?"
"I've always liked charms. Arithmacy as well." George told them.
"Arithmacy?" Wilbur said questionably.
"Yeah. There's also care for magical creatures which I think you guys will like, Divination which Wilbur and Tommy would easily ace, study of ancient runes and astronomy." George said.
"I got care for magical creatures today!" Tommy told them. "It's currently my second favourite! Though I haven't gotten divination so I dunno which I will like more. Ooh did you know I rode on a Hippogriff! It's like this half eagle half horse creature? It was so fun!"
"Oh yes I saw you from the hall Tommy." Niki said. "It seemed like you were having a lot of fun."
"Well it seems like that's something we all agree on. It's been fun so far. But we need to focus on our mission as well." Phil reminded. "Of course have fun but keep an eye out as well alright."
The rest of the group nodded. "We can also train secretly. There is a secret room at hogwarts, though I'll have to ask the headmaster first, I've been using the room to train my powers since year 1." George told them.
"Great! Though other than George, the rest of us aren't real wizards, you children still need to study. So other than training we should also go to the library- Tommy where are you going."
