Leo's POV:

"I'M FREEEEEEE!" I screeched as I ran of the train and started running around in circles with my arms in the air. Suddenly  tripped over my robes and fell flat on my face. Instead of helping me up like good friends, everyone just laughed at me as they left the train in a slower way. "Stupid robes" I mumbled as I got up.

"Firs' years! Firs' year an exchange studens, this way please!" A giant man holding a lantern appeared through the smoke. Harry Potter, the guy with the cool scar on his forehead, yelled something and ran to hug the big dude. 

"Why are you hear, giant!" Thalia threatened, reaching for her bracelet. The giant just laughed. "You must be one of the exchange student's! I'm Hagrid, half giant, grounds keeper of Hogwarts (que me snorting) and yer care of magical creatures teacher!" "Don't worry, he's nice!" Hermione whispered to Annabeth. Through the course of the journey, these two had become best friends which really scared me. 

Hagrid started to walk the terrified first years, and us, in the opposite direction to where the others where going. Suddenly he stopped and shouted "Get in, four to a boat, no need to push, everyone is going to fit!" At the mention of 'boat', Jason, Thalia, Nico and Hazel paled. Then ensued an argument about who will go in a boat with Percy. Hazel lost, but then decided to go with Frank as he was a descendent of Poseidon.

There was no incident crossing for the demigods, but one of the first years, a girl named Holly, had to be picked up from out of the water by a giant squid called Jeff, according to Percy, at least.

We finally entered the castle with the sounds and mutters of amazement about the architecture coming from Annabeths direction. We were met by a strict woman with her hair in a neat bun and a look that told me that she would tolerate absolutely zero planking around her. She rambled along about the school, but I was to busy staring at some old dude picking his nose in a picture to listen.

"First years shall go in first, then the exchange students will come in after everyone has been sorted. Have I made myself clear? Good. Follow me." All the  midgets followed the scary headmistress into the hall and the doors closed behind them.

Finally, the last  first year was sorted (Waller, Sasha - Hufflepuff!) and mrs Mcgonagal called us in.

Rons POV:

The doors opened with a crash to reveal the exchange student standing in a v shape with Percy and Annabeth at the front. 

"Sorry, I kinda pushed a bit to hard!" Percy mumbled blushing. We stared in shock (a few off the girls, and some boys, were swooning). It took at least two or three students to open ONE of those doors, and Percy comes and can push them open so hard they both crash into the wall!

They all started to walk forward. An aura of power that I hadn't noticed before surrounded them. There was already lots of murmuring and gossiping about them. 

Suddenly, the silent emo one stopped, causing his boyfriend to bump into him. "Nico!" exclaimed Will. That was his name!

"Ghosts. There are ghosts here. Why didn't anyone tell me about the ghosts???" Nico growled. I looked down the table at Nearly-Headless Nick who was staring at the boy in shock. Surprised, I looked around at the other goats who were doing the same. They all seemed to brake out of their trance at the same time and rushed towards skull boy, bowing and scraping. What in the name of Marlins baggy y-fronts was going on?

"M-master, I-I'm so s-sorry, I..." "SILENCE!" Roared Nico, effectively shutting of Nicks stammers. "Do you have ANY idea how much trouble you've caused my father, all the paperwork he's had to do?" Shadows started to collect around him, but Will placed a hand on his arm and the shadows receded. "I will give you one year, as I am to tired right now, for you to report yourselves to my father and prove you are worthy of stayi... if you blow that raspberry, poltergeist, I will personally design your punishment in the FoP. (Fields of Punishment)" Peeves suddenly appeared right next to Nicos ear, a pout on his face. "Now, leave me." All the ghosts faded instantly. Nico looked around and saw everyone staring at him. "What are you looking at?" Everyone hastily turned away.

Looking understudied by this display, the Americans continued to walk up to the sorting hat. Mrs Mcgonigal stood in front of it looking slightly flustered, but started to read out the names on her list. 

(Not in register order)

Annabeths POV:

So far, everyone had been sorted into Gryffindor. I could tell this was unusual due to all the confused looks we were getting, nut that could just be because of Nico's little display of death magic. Luckily Will calmed him down before any damage was done.

There was only me, Reyna, Calypso, Nico and Percy left to sort.

"Calypso. It seems we have a problem here, you need a surname to inroll in Hogwarts. Can you please tell us what it is?" the headmistress asked Calypso. She looked down. "I don't ha-" "It's Nightshade." Percy cut in. "Calypso Nightshade, like her sister." He looked up and Zoè's constellation flared brightly on the enchanted ceiling. Smiling sadly, Calypso walked up to the hat and placed it on her head. "GRYFFINDOR," it yelled and the lions table clapped half heartedly.

"Ramirez-Arellano, Reyna!" As Reyna walked up to the podium, someone snorted at her name. Bad move. Reyna froze and turned around slowly, snapping her fingers and summoning her silver dog as she did so. "Who. Laughed." She growled, her wolf snarled at the green and silver table where the laugh had come from. No answer. "As I thought. Wimps." Reyna carried on her walk to the hat which shouted "GRYFFINDOR!" Almost before she could place it on her head. As she walked to her table, the wizards leaned away from Argentum. "Wimps." She muttered again.

"Chase, Annabeth" my name was called. Nervously, I walked to the hat and placed it on my head. "Another one!? What is it with today and demigods?" Someone said. I jumped before realising it was the hat who had spoken. "Hmmmm, lets see. Very prideful, would do great in Slytherin. Very smart to, oh yes, Ravenclaw could do you wanders. But what's this? Your blocking part of your mind?" I stiffened, knowing exactly what he meant. "Let me see it now." I shook my head jerkily. Suddenly, my walls broke down and all of my memorise of Tartarus came back. I opened my mouth and screamed. And the hat screamed with me.

Percy's POV:

I saw Annabeth stiffen and shake her head. I realised almost instantly what was going on. I ran to her as fast as I could and I knocked the hat right of her head, but it was to late. She was already screaming.

"NO! PERCY, NO, DONT LEAVE ME! WHERE ARE YOU? WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME HEAR ALONE? BOB, DAMASON, NO! PLEASE DONT! WHERE ARE YOU PERCY!?" And then she broke down sobbing.

The stupid hat was screaming to, rolling on the floor where I had dropped it. "GRYIFFINDOR! GRYFFINDOR! NOW GET ME AWAY FROM THAT GIRL!"

I continued to hold my Wise girl in my arms and whispered in her ear. "Shhh, we're out. It's okay. I'm here, I would never leave you. Together until the end. Your never getting away from me again, remember? Slowly her sobs subsided and I looked up to see Thalia waiting. She nodded and started to lead Annabeth down to the, now silent, table.

It was Nico next, and much the same thing happened as with Annabeth minus the screaming. After he got sorted into Gryffindor ("YOU'RE EVEN WORSE THAN THE GIRL, HOW ARE YOU STILL SANE?!?) he walked down in a trance to sit next to Will who gave him a kiss and a cuddle.

Then it was my turn.

I walked up to the dam hat (ha I said dam, stupid ADHD!) but I only got within two meters before it opened its mouth.

"No, nu-uh, not one step closer young man!" He said. "WHAT!!! What do you mean 'No'?" Asked the scary headmistress. "I mean, I'm not going to sort him the normal way. There is no way on Earth you are going to make me get on that boys head. He has seen to much. He's worse then his friends, has been through more then the boy who lived, has felt more pain then this entire room combined! So no, there is no way to get me on his head." "Ok, so where do you suggest he goes then?" Asked Mcgonagal, clearly confused. "Where you even listening to me??? GRYFFINDOR!!!"

I was about to go down the steps before I asked the hat something. "Hey, what's your name?" "My name?" the hat sounded shocked. "You know, in the few thousand years I've been working at this school, not one person has asked for my name. It's Bill." "Well Bill, thanks." "And kid?" "Yeah?" "Sorry about your life. You deserve better."

With that I walked to sit by my Wise Girl. But I could have sworn I saw Bill smile ...
