HAPPY 2018!

So... er yeah, I suck, and have not updated since last July (except for when I accidentally uploaded a half-completed future chapter, and didn't realise until many people commented).

What can I say? I am extremely lazy. It will probably happen again.

HOWEVER, I am thinking of creating a Google Docs to share with all you guys, and that doc will essentially be what I'm planning for stories, random ideas for stories and random future scenes, inspirations, fic recs, anything related to fanfiction, polls, headcanons, thoughts for fics that I've thought of in the middle of the night, etc. and I will welcome you guys to comment on it, look at it, contribute your ideas and discuss. What do you think of this idea? This way, you guys can have stuff to look at, and a space to just discuss stuff, so you won't completely think I've died. Idk maybe that's a bad idea?

Also, I've been working on editing previous chapters. Little things that irked me, and also some of the ideas. Demigods no longer have special immunity to wizard spells, and wizard spells do affect monsters. Coz honestly, that's just kinda biased towards the demigods. Plus, it would be boring. Healing spells and healing potions don't work on demigods, which I haven't changed. However, other potions now also work on demigods.

A few people would like the demigods to be super powerful, and basically better than the wizards, but honestly, I would like them to see each other more as peers and less as superior/inferior. (I mean, some admiration is obviously in order coz I won't be able to resist, but not a worship kind of level).

Disclaimer: Not mine :(

Annabeth

"Wait, we're being Sorted separately?" Annabeth whispered. "I thought there would be first years!"

I mea', o' cor," Ron said, mouth still full of roast potatoes. He swallowed.

"You guys came in late. Completely missed the song and McGonagall'speech. Lucky, too, she talked for about 15 minutes straight." He mimed sleeping.

"Song?" Piper wondered.

But there was no time to inquire anymore, as Professor McGonagall rapped her knuckles for silence.

"As I have briefly mentioned earlier, this year, we have the honour of hosting nine students from Chiron's Academy of Magical Practice. I hope you'll make them very welcome, and each and every one of you show them the adequate hospitality and respect. To fully immerse them into our culture, we shall, per tradition, Sort them."

An extraordinarily short man next to her pulled out a list and cleared his throat.

"Chase, Annabeth!"

Great, Annabeth thought. All the way down to the front, she kept her head high and shoulders back, fully aware of the whispers around her.

The man holding the list beamed at her, and lead her to a small, stool, gesturing for her to sit.

"Professor Flitwick," he whispered.

Annabeth smiled tightly at him and sat.

Then, Professor Flitwick proceeded to dump a frayed and extremely dirty wizard's hat on her head, cutting off her vision almost immediately.

What the Hades?

"Hmm," said a small voice in his ear.

Annabeth almost jumped, and the voice chuckled quietly.

"A demigod? How interesting. And difficult. Lots of courage, I see quite clearly. And goodness, quite the brain. There would almost be no doubt where to put you... but, a thirst to prove yourself, so much ambition and talent...architecture, huh?"

A small part of her mind lit up at the praise. I redesigned Mount Olympus, the traitorous little part of her brain suggested.

"Yes, I see that now. So the house that would most suit you..."

Annabeth put the pieces together, realising that the hat was going to put her in one of the four houses.

"Quite right, you are." the hat said. "Definitely a smart one. Hmm."

Annabeth found herself holding her breath.

"But such drive, determination— better be SLYTHERIN!"

Annabeth heard the hat shout the last word to the whole hall. Taking the hat off, she was directed to a clapping table decked out in green and silver.

Shakily, she found a seat at the end of the table, amongst scrutinizing gazes. She glanced back at her friends, who waved and gave her thumbs up (though for some reason, Ron and Harry wouldn't meet her eyes).

"Di Angelo, Nico!"

"Gryffindor!" the hat roared, after several minutes indecision, longer than Annabeth's had been.

Nico walked back to the Gryffindor table amongst loud cheers and whistles.

Jason was sent to Ravenclaw (Annabeth supposed it was the Roman traits shining through), and Thalia was put in Gryffindor with Nico. She crossed her fingers when "Jackson, Percy!" was called, but he was placed in Gryffindor as well, and while she wasn't exactly surprised, disappointment curdled in her stomach. After a shooting an apologetic glance at her, Percy started conversing with his cousins, and Annabeth only tightened her jaw as Hazel settled beside Jason (again, the Roman), a random girl clapping her on the back, while Annabeth's fellow housemates eyed her blonde curls and grey eyes uneasily, except for a dark-haired girl who tugged her lips up a little in her direction.

"Mclean, Piper!"

"Slytherin!"

Annabeth smiled in relief and clapped loudly as Piper slid into the seat next to her and leant over.

"Apparently I'm deviously cunning and sly", she said, smirking in Annabeth's ear.

Laughing, Annabeth turned back to the front in time to watch Leo and Frank both get sent to cheering students clad in blue and silver. Out of the corner of her eye, Annabeth saw the Hufflepuff house slump a little.

Professor McGonagall stood up.

"Ahem, just a few more parting words. Joining us for muggle studies, we are pleased to welcome Astana Sage, and for Defence against the Dark Arts, Percy Weasley, a very recent student of Hogwarts."

A thundering applause broke out, especially from the Gryffindor table. From a quick glance, Annabeth could see Harry banging the table with his fists, Hermione beaming from ear to ear, and Ron hollering, "No way! I knew he was keeping something from us!"

Professor McGonagall waited for the din to die down before continuing.

"First years, as well as our exchange students, should note that the forest on the grounds is forbidden to all pupils."

Too late for that, Annabeth thought.

"—trials will be held in the second week of the term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch. And finally, to our new exchange students, please see me before bed for a quick briefing."

As soon as the students were dismissed, Annabeth stood up with Piper and started fighting their way through to the professors' table.

"According to the message from, ah, Chiron, I take it that you are in charge of the group." Professor McGonagall said, jerking her chin towards Annabeth after all the students and professors had cleared out.

That was new. The demigods shuffled around a bit, though none of them really seemed to have an issue with the new development.

Feeling a warm hand in hers, Annabeth smiled up at Percy, a little bubble of pride in her chest knowing that Chiron had entrusted this quest to her.

"I take it that none of you will compromise your task by revealing your true identities to any of the students."

Everyone nodded. It wasn't a question.

"All the professors at Hogwarts have been informed of your situation, and are happy to assist in any way possible. We hope that you find a family in Hogwarts, and that we can work together as allies in the unforeseeable future, if anything problematic occurs."

She talked a little longer about expectations and the point system, until Leo stifled a loud yawn.

"Very well," Professor McGonagall said, mouth a disapproving line. "Off to your dormitories. The Slytherin dormitories are located behind a concealed entrance in the dungeons. Password, Parseltongue. There is a perfect lingering outside the hall on my instructions who will accompany you. Ravenclaw tower is on the fifth floor at the top of a spiral staircase, west side of Hogwarts. I trust you can make it there. I'll escort the Gryffindors myself. Luggage has already been taken up for you, and schedules are handed out tomorrow morning at breakfast."

She looked around at the demigods. "Do I make myself clear?"

Nodding their assent, they all get to their feet and leave the hall (Annabeth immediately misses the warmth of Percy's hand). A few paces away, Leo muttered, "And what's our password, huh?"

So I sorted the demigods, sorry about Hufflepuff :(((

Trivia:
1. In the Chamber of Secrets when Harry and Ron took the polyjuice potion, what was the password to Slytherin common room?
2. What is Dumbledore's full name (middle names and all)?
3. Dumbledore has a scar above his left knee that is the perfect map of _?

Make sure to tell me what you think of the google docs idea :)
