Chapter .3.

Harry really hated how Hermione and Ron treated him. He knew they had their own agenda. Same with Ginny. Harry had to keep far away from Ginny. She was like a leech to him. A couple of his different Serpent Familiars really wanted to bite them. Harry was tempted. But he had to hold them back. But he DID tell all his familiars they could course mischief and mess with them.

The Demigods of Hogwarts had all been nervous about what was coming. Harry had to calm many down as many had a feeling something was going to happen. And Demigods should listen to their feelings. It is what kept them alive all this time.

Now he was outside waiting with everyone else for Beauxbatons, Durmstrang and 'Olympia' who he still thought where likely demigods coming.

Harry stood with Neville, Dean, Seamus, Susan, Luna, Padma, Su, Cedric, Alicia, Angelina, Katie, Fred and George. Harry was glad they were around him as that meant Hermione, Ron and Ginny couldn't be.

As they waited Harry scanned the sky using his night vision and Draconis vision to see in the darkening sky. His eyes soon pick up a flying carriage.

"They are here", Harry murmurs to his friends

"About time", Dean says looking at the sky

"Aha? Unless I am very much mistaken, the delegation from Beauxbatons approaches!" Dumbledore announces

"Where?" many yell eagerly

"There!" Isobel, daughter of Nyx says pointing at the sky

Everyone saw something large, much larger then a broomstick, was hurtling towards the castle. Growing larger as it got closer.

"It's a dragon!" a first year shrieks

Harry rolls his eyes. Some people were just stupid.

"Don't be stupid…it's a flying horse!" Dennis yells

Harry saw that Dennis was close. Harry could see a dozen Gigantic Winged horse, all palominos, and about the size of elephants. He had a a dozen of these species of horses. As they landed with a thump on the ground.

Harry saw the door of the carriage bore a coat of arms, two crossed, golden wands, each emitting three stars. He recognised the coat of arms for Beauxbatons. As the arms was the same on his Lord ring.

A boy in pale blue robes jumped down from the carriage. He fumbled for a minute before unfolding a set of golden stairs.

The doors opened and a giant woman stepped down. The size of the carriage, and the winged horses, was immediately explained. Many people gasp.

Harry knew that this woman had to be part giant just like Hagrid.

~~That woman is beg~~, Spectra his wyvern hisses

~~She is meant to be~~, Harry quietly hisses back

The giant woman had olive-skinned face, large, black, liquid-looking eyes and a rather beaky nose. Her dark hair was drawn back in a shinning knob at the base of her neck.

Dumbledore started clapping which got the students clapping too. Many students stood on tiptoes, the better to look at this woman. Even though Harry didn't think they needed to stand on their tiptoes.

"My dear Madame Maxime. Welcome to Hogwarts", Dumbledore says kissing her hand

"Dumbly-dorr", Madame Maxime says, in a deep voice, "I 'ope I find you well?"

"On excellent form, I thank you", Dumbledore replies

"My pupils", Madame Maxine says, waving to her students behind her.

A dozen or more boys and girls had gotten out of the carriage. They were all dressed in fine blue silk robes. They must be freezing in those robes.

As Harry looked at them his eyes focus on one. She had long silver hair and blue eyes. His elven side immediately picked her as his mate.

'Our Mate!', his elven side growls, 'She is part Light Veela'

That surprised Harry. But he couldn't talk as he had both a Light and Dark Veela side. He would have to talk to her later when he got the chance to explain things. He hoped his elven side didn't come out at the moment. That would be hard to explain if it did.

"'as Karkaroff arrived yet? Or the Olympia School?" Madame Maxine asks

"He should be here any moment. Followed by the Olympia School. Would you like to wait here and greet them or would you prefer to step inside and warm up a trifle?" Dumbledore asks her

"Warm up, I think", she replies, "But ze' 'orses-"

"Our Care of Magical Creatures teacher will be delighted to take care of them. The moment he has returned from dealing with a slight situation which has arisen with some of his other – er – charges", Dumbledore tells her

Harry grimaces that was an understatement. He hated Skrewts. He heard Ron say something about them.

"My steeds require – er – forceful 'andling", Madame Maxine states, "ey are very strong…"

"I assure you that Hagrid will be well up to the job", Dumbledore replies smiling

"Very well. Will you please inform zie 'Agrid zat ze 'orses drink only single-malt whisky?" Madam Maxine asks him

"It will be attended to", Dumbledore replies

"Come", Madam Maxine says to her students

They all follow her into the Castle.

"How big d'you reckon Durmstrang's horses are going to be?" Seamus asks him

"They don't sound like the type to have horses", Su says

"She is right", Luna replies dreamily

"Durmstrang is a darker school", Alicia adds

Suddenly they hear a loud noise from the direction of the Lake.

"The lake!" yells Lee Jordan, pointing down at it, "Look at the lake!"

From up the hill on which Hogwarts sat they could see the lake that was normally smooth black surface of the water – except that the surface was suddenly not smooth at all. Some disturbance was taking place deep in the centre; great bubbles were forming on the surface, waves were now washing over the muddy banks – and then, out in the very middle of the lake, a whirlpool appeared, as if a giant plug had just been pulled out of the lake's floor…

What seemed to be a long, black pole began to rise slowly out of the heart of the whirlpool…and then everyone saw the rigging…

"It's a mast!" someone says

"Duh", Harry thinks

Slowly, magnificently, the ship rose out of the water, gleaming in the moonlight. It had a strangely skeletal look about it, as though it was a resurrected wreak, and the dim, misty lights shimmering at its portholes looked like ghostly eyes. Finally, with a great sloshing noise, the ship emerged entirely, bobbling on the turbulent water, and began to glide towards the bank. A few moments later, they heard the splash of an anchor being thrown down in the shallows, and the thud of a plank being lowered onto the bank.

People were disembarking; they could see their silhouettes passing the lights in the ship's portholes. Everyone saw they were wearing cloaks of some kind of shaggy, matted fur of a different sort; sleek and silver.

"Dumbledore!" the leader says heartily as the leader walked the slope, "How are you, my dear fellow, how are you?"

"Blooming, thank you, Headmaster Karkaroff", Dumbledore replies

"Dear old Hogwarts. How good it is to be here, how good . . . Viktor, come along, into the warmth . . . you don't mind Dumbledore? Viktor has a slight head cold. . .", Karkaroff says

There were whispers all throughout the student body as they recognised Viktor Krum the famous Quidditch Player. It caused quite the stir in the student body.

"It is Krum!" Harry heard Ron say in a fanboy voice,

~~They smell of Dark Magic~~, Belthazar the Sage Serpent hisses

~~Especially the adult one~~, Androzani the Sage Serpent hisses

Even Harry could pick up on the dark magic thanks to his Creature Inheritances. It was radiating off of Headmaster Karkaroff.

"Students, Staff welcome Headmaster Igor Karkaroff Headmaster of Durmstrang Institute! In Scandinavia", Dumbledore announces

Everyone claps and cheers but it was mainly for Krum.

"Go inside and get warm one last school is to come", Dumbledore says

"Thank you", Headmaster Karakaroff says leaving with his students to go inside

Dumbledore's ring vibrates for a final time.

"The final school. The Olympia Academy has arrived!" Dumbledore calls

Everyone sees a group of teens with a Centaur walking up the path to Hogwarts.

"Shit", Harry swore

He could tell already these where demigods. His demigod side was screaming it too him. Damn, damn, damn.

"My comrades they are demigods be warned", Harry thinks to all his comrades

He sees his comrades give small nods. They HAD been expecting this when they heard Olympia. Now they just had to figure out how to hide the fact that there were many demigods here.

"Meeting after dinner to discuss this!" Harry thinks to them again

This had just gotten interesting. Of hundreds of years of demigods hiding at Hogwarts this secret might just come into the open…
