Chapter 2
"I guess you can say that." Cedric chuckles and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. Cedric walks 10 feet away to sit on a window sill and motions for Harry to follow. Harry sits across from him and smiles.
"What Happened Cedric?" Harry's question causes a small smile to befall Cedric's lips.
"I have a lot of explaining to do. I am the child of a Greek God, Hephaestus. The girl you were speaking with, Tru is the daughter of Aphrodite. When I died I went to the underworld where my father and the other Greek Gods and Goddesses finally decided after an entire summer they brought me back." During this explanation, Cedric's eyes did not leave Harry's. Harry opens his mouth when a gold sword flies through the window next to him. Harry falls to the ground in shock and fear but follows the sword seeing it hit a minotaur. Cedric and Harry look to the window to see a boy about Cedric's age walk through the now shattered glass.
"You need to be more careful Cedric, Where's Tru?" A girl with multicolored hair rushes into the hall a bit of blood splattered on her face.
"Right here, I was fighting a chimera. Too many demigods in one place may cause some problems." More people had followed the first boy in through the window.
"Considering Percy just killed Minotaur you could say that again." The one who spoke this time was a Spanish boy with goggles and a wrench who leaned up against Cedric as if they were old friends.
“Hardy Har Har Leo, but we also may have bigger problems.” Harry looks at the teenagers confused even as one of the newcomers, a girl with blonde hair and grey eyes, helped him up before turning to Tru.
“Care to elaborate?” Tru pulls out a piece of paper despite it giving none of them any information due to the dyslexia but she handed it to Annabeth anyway.
“Her name is Delores Umbridge, she was sent here as the Defense teacher by the ministry. Calls herself the high inquisitor or something like that.” The boy named with goggles called Leo by Tru walks up to her and wraps his arms around her waist which causes an annoyed look to appear on her face.
“What does that mean?” Tru looks at Leo like he was an idiot before locking eyes with the blonde haired girl and they both roll their eyes before Tru responds to Leo.
“I don’t know Leo, I couldn’t read the paper as it’s in English.” Leo looks at her with a sheepishly and goes to say something before they were interrupted.
“Hem, hem” The group of teenagers. 14 through 17 turn to look at the woman clad in pink causing Annabeth to hide the paper in her back pocket subtly.
“Mister Potter, Mister Diggory and Ms....”
“Briar”
“Briar, who are our new guests?” The teenagers look between themselves before the boy with messy dark hair and sea green eyes steps forward.
“We were actually hoping to speak with the headmaster before introducing ourselves to other professors.” The woman, Umbridge, sends the boy a tight lipped smile.
“Well in that case why don’t you follow me” all of the teenagers Harry, Cedric and Tru included start to follow the woman but she freezes causing to do so as well.
“You three already know the headmaster do you not?” Tru squares her shoulders and shows that she does care much for the new professor.
“Yes professor we do, but these are our friends who are now in an unfamiliar environment so it would make sense for us to go with them, would it not?” Umbridge gives Tru a look knowing she was right and forces a timid smile at her before continuing on. Leo reaches out his hand and wraps it around Tru’s to which she rolls her eyes at but doesn’t comment or pull away. At the same time the black haired boy wrapped his arm around Annabeth and a few other people in their group are holding hands and such. Harry gets startled as an arm wraps around his shoulders. He turns his head to smile at Cedric who sends him a dashing one back. After about five minutes of walking we reach the gargoyles and Harry knows that she’ll have to depart due to not knowing the password. She sends a tight lipped smile to the teenagers before walking off. Harry turns back to the door and speaks the password ‘Bertie Botts’. The door opens and the 12 students enter the office to see Dumbledore sitting at his desk waiting for the demi-gods. To arrive. Sitting on the desk in the center of the room is the sorting hat waiting for the new demi-gods. Annabeth, Piper and Hazel made Ravenclaw, Percy, Leo and Jason made Gryffindor, Frank and Will made Hufflepuff which they smile at Cedric who smiles back. Nico and Thalia both made Slytherin which causes Harry to grimace slightly. By the time they were all sorted dinner had ended and the newest students headed to their respective dorms.
Harry’s P.O.V.
Percy, Leo, Jason and Tru entered the dorm room where Hermione and Ron were waiting, the latter two giving them confused looks. Harry expected them to give amazed looks to the common room but they didn’t even spare a second glance before collapsing on the couches.
“Harry who are they?” I let out a small jump having not noticing Mione and Ron come up behind me. I look over at them before looking back to the demi-gods who were now laughing at something stupid Percy had said about the ocean.
“They’re friends of Cedric’s, from the states.” Ron lets out a scoff at hearing Cedric’s name receiving a few glares from the Demi-gods and a light smack on the arm from Hermione.
“How is he back anyway? Last time we checked he was dead.”
‘Ron that isn’t exactly for me to explain” By the way Hermione looks at me it looks as if she agrees with my statement.
“Ron the boy was dead, be a little respectful. Now let's go introduce ourselves to the newest students.” With that Hermione walks over to the couches and introduces herself to them to which they smile at her politeness. Me and Ron stalk over to which Ron introduces himself as well after getting a pointed look from Hermione. Tru smiles at them before greeting them with an outstretched hand.
‘I’m Tru it’s nice to meet you both, any friend of Cedric and Harry’s is a friend of ours. Right, boys?” She gets a chorus of yes’ from her friends. We continue talking for some time before we all head to head bidding each other goodnight.
