The Prying Eyes
Hey, all you lovely people out there! It's nice writing for you but I do apologize for my terrible writing skills.
Sorry about this but I don't own anything about this no matter how much I want to. The only thing I own here is my OC and some of the plot. The rest of it goes to the amazing Rick Riordan and beautiful J.K. Rowling.
Italics are Greek and underlined is Latin.
With that out of the way, onto the story!

Harry's POV(I know right! Not a demigod this time!)
When the other schools started to arrive I was shocked. A Pegasi drawn carriage? that was amazing! I wasn't expecting the boat at all. But the giant man made of water? That was by far the greatest entrance anyone could make. It shook the ground with every step it took. The giant was so much taller than Hogwarts that I almost fell backward trying to look at its face. Ron wasn't so lucky. He fell flat on his arse.
I didn't expect there to be so few people coming from it though. Unlike the other schools, they didn't have any adults with them and they had more younger-looking students with them. I saw a girl no older than eight attempting to hide behind a guy who looked to be her brother and a stunningly beautiful girl I assumed was his girlfriend.
Like the other schools and our own, they were all wearing the same clothes though, they did have their own different kinds of pants and some wore jackets. I could see letters on their shirts but they were too faded to make out what they said.
Dumbledore came forward and dismissed us all to the feast. Ron happily followed the girls from the French academy, Hermione following closely behind. I noticed the people from the giant stay where they were. It was suspicious but I was starving.
When we were beginning the sorting, I heard a noise so loud that it would put Dudley's snoring to shame. The only thing that bothered me was that no one other than Ron, Hermione and I seemed to hear it. Everyone else didn't notice it at all.
I looked around to see if anyone else could hear the noise and saw Malfoy, this weird looking blonde girl from Ravenclaw, a girl I knew as Lavender Brown, and a girl from the Hufflepuff table. Each one was staring towards where the sound seemed to be coming from but none seemed worried or surprised. Some of the teachers looked to have heard the noise, but none of them was doing anything to investigate.
There was no way Dumbledore hadn't heard the noise, so I wasn't too worried about it when he stayed in his seat.
Hermione, on the other hand, was a different story." did any of you hear that noise?" Ron and I nodded."What do you think caused it?"
"Dunno, but its got to be something big ain't it?"
"Have any of you noticed that the people who came here on the giant didn't follow us in? They're still outside. I think that they might be causing the noise."
Just as suddenly as the noise began, it stopped without a trace of having ever graced our ears with its horrible sound. Then the sorting was over and Dumbledore started making a speech. Halfway through, though none of the other students noticed, the people in orange came into the hall. When they decided to sit near us, Ron quickly made room for a beautiful girl with a feather in her braid and kaleidoscope eyes.
For the rest of the speech, Ron was staring at that girl. When the speech was over Ron looked like he wanted to say something but thought better of it, turning and quickly grabbing food from the now overfilled plates.
I had had to scoot over for the little girl from earlier and her brother and his girlfriend. The girl had hair covering the left side of her face so I couldn't see what she looked like. She noticed me looking at her and turned to me, quickly covering her left eye with her hair.
"What? Why are you staring? It's rude to stare you know," She stated.
"Um... Wha... I-I was just..."
"You were just what."
"I was just wondering why you covered half of your face with your hair."
"That would be none of your business." and she turned away to eat again.
I noticed this kid who looked like a buff panda talking to Lavender like he had known her for a long time. I kept catching bits of their conversation like 'New Rome' and 'The Legion' but I couldn't understand what that was about. I could hear the blonde girl talking to the girl I had talked to and the guy next to her but I couldn't understand anything that was said. She was speaking in a different language.
It sounded like this, "Prépei na vroúme ta chrysá tría kai xéroume apó ton diefthyntí óti ta onómatá tous eínai o Chári, i Ermióni kai o Rónalnt. Gnorízoume epísis óti vrískontai sto kókkino kai chrysó spíti, óste na eímaste sto sostó trapézi. O Chári échei mia oulí sto métopó tou, i Ermióni échei kastaná malliá, o Rónalnt échei flegómena kókkina malliá kai krínoume apó tous anthrópous pou káthontai dípla mas me koúfia malliá kai flegómena kókkina malliá tha élega óti to agóri dípla sti Mirána eínai o Chári. Aplá frontíste na tous parakoloutheíte fétos. Den théloume káti kakó na tous symveí an théloume na sósoume ti fíli tis Mirána."
The guy and the little girl seemed to understand just fine, but the only accent I could hear in the little girl's voice was American so I was surprised when she started talking in the same tongue without the American accent at all. She spoke it perfectly, "Den mou arései o Cháris lígo. Me rótise giatí kályptan to ímisy tou prosópou mou allá an eíde to máti mou na katalávei."(I don't like Harry one bit. He asked me why I was covering half my face but if he saw my eye he might understand.)
The other girl replied to her the same way."Mirána. To aristeró sas máti eínai exísou ómorfo me to dexí sas. To gegonós óti moiázei me láva to kánei kalýtera. To máti sas eínai monadikó. Den prépei na aistháneste tin anánki na to krýpsete."(Miranna. Your left eye is just as beautiful as your right one. The fact that it looks like lava makes it better. Your eye is one of a kind. You shouldn't feel the need to hide it.)
"Allá óloi sto scholeío mou synithoúsan na me enochloún exaitías tou matioú mou."(But everyone at my school used to bully me because of my eye.) The little girl replied.
"Edó tha boroúse na eínai mia diaforetikí empeiría, allá den tha xérete an den stamatísete na krývete."(Here could be a different experience but you won't know unless you stop hiding.) The other girl said back.
I tuned out after that. There's no point listening if you can't understand what's being said. When the feast was over the people in orange went outside. I didn't find it that strange since the other guests were also going outside, but they came on something that dissolved into thin air. I decided that it was time to bring the invisibility cloak out again.
Walking up to the common room, Hermione couldn't stop talking about how frustrated she was that she couldn't understand those people.
"I make it my mission to understand at least a few words in each language for identification purposes, but I didn't understand anything they were saying! How can they speak a language that I don't know?!" She ranted the whole way up.
"Maybe it's a language that they made themselves?" Ron suggested but it sounded more like a question.
"It's possible, but some of them were struggling to reply to the others. If they made it themselves then shouldn't they all understand how to speak it?"
"Blimey Hermione, not everyone can remember a made-up language perfectly. Someone's bound to forget a few phrases."
"Yes, I suppose... But they can't have made it up. Lavender was speaking the same language, and she wasn't struggling at all to keep up with the conversation. I'll have to ask her about it later."
"Hey guys, why do you think those people went outside?" I asked them.
"They're staying out there aren't they?" Ron asked me.
"No, they shouldn't be. They came on the giant and that dissolved, remember. They can't be staying out there."
"Have you never heard of camping Harry. They're probably putting up tents to sleep in." Hermione butted in.
"I think that we should check it out. It's worth investigating don't you think?"
"Honestly Harry, you think everything is worth investigating."
"That's cause it is. We go and investigate and if they're camping on the grounds then I won't investigate them any further." I told her.
"Fine. But if we get caught then I'm saying that I was trying to stop you."
"Deal. Ron?"
"Sure. I want to look for the girl with the feather in her hair. I think she might be part Veela."
Hermione's POV
I can't believe I agreed to this! This goes against the rules!
But I do want to know what language they were speaking. 20 minutes later, we were under Harry's cloak and walking down the steps to the Great hall. This was when we noticed some other people waiting there. Lavender, Luna, a Ravenclaw that Ginny knows, and a girl from Hufflepuff I remember as Hannah.
As we got closer I could hear some of the conversation.
"Why is it always Draco who's late to things like this. I understand that he's a Malfoy now but I expected better from an Ares camper. Then again, Greeks can be a bit unpredictable." Lavender was saying.
"Excuse me, daughter of Venus, but at least he can focus on things other than his looks and getting a significant other. He said that he would be here and he'll be here. He's always a little late to things but you should expect that from an Ares camper. Not everyone has the mind of a child of Athena." Luna finished pointing at herself.
"Shh!" Hannah interrupted.
"What is it? What do you sense something?" Lavender said.
"Someone's here, listening." She turned until she was looking directly at us.
Just then Malfoy came up the staircase leading to the dungeons. "Sorry, I'm late. I'm here now though so we can get going if you ladies are up to it. I haven't seen them since the war ended and I want to catch up." Hannah's gaze turned reluctantly from us and together, the four left the castle.
The three of us let out a breath than none of us knew we had been holding. Ron looked terrified. "She knew we were here!" He whisper-screamed." She knew we were standing right here!"
"Malfoy's with them now. They're definitely up to something."
And Harry continued forward, forcing us to follow him or be found by Peeves who had just floated in from a different corridor. The others had made it to something standing right next to Hagrid's house. It was a big two-story house that, unless you had seen the school yesterday, you might have thought stood there for years.
Luna knocked on the door and a few seconds later the creepy boy from the group of people in orange shirts opened it. When he saw Luna and Malfoy he let them all inside.
Hannah's POV
I could feel eyes on us back at the castle. After training with Lupa, you learn to have that kind of sixth sense telling you those things. I could feel the eyes looking at us, and ears hanging on our every word.
"Hey sis, what's wrong," Will asked me when I didn't join in the greetings everyone was giving. I liked the fact that even though I'm the daughter of the Roman side of Apollo, he still thinks of me as his sister. I hesitated but decided to tell him.
I took a breath before answering in Greek, something I had mastered since our camps came together."I could feel the prying eyes. When we were waiting for Malfoy to show up I mean."
Everyone looked towards me when I said this. Will looked worried."Did they feel like monsters or were they human?"
"Human, but I couldn't see them. They were wearing something to hide. I'm only talking like this right now because I felt them again when we got to the door. They weren't necessarily dangerous, but they shouldn't have been there. Students aren't allowed out of bed after hours."
He and the others relaxed slightly at the fact that they weren't dangerous."The new DADA teacher though. I can sense serious malevolence from him. I can sense that he isn't who he should be. It's almost like I can feel an outer skin hiding who he really is."
Percy laughed slightly at this."We then it's a good thing that Dumbledore asked Annie and me to teach a physical Defence Against the Dark Arts. We'll be teaching you guys how to sword fight instead of magic."
"Don't call me Annie," Annabeth told him jokingly as if she was annoyed but was fine with him calling her that.
Draco was smiling widely at the prospect of sword fighting again outside of his camp. Luna just looked happy that Annabeth would be teaching it too. Lavender was still salty about what Luna had said about her earlier.
"Good job on finally getting a job Jackson," Draco said still smiling.
"Annabeth, are you there to teach or to make sure Percy remembers all of the facts?" Luna asked
"I'm there to teach. Percy is doing swords and I'm doing daggers. We'll make a pretty good impression on the students if we demonstrate a battle I'm sure. It'll also make them think twice about stepping out of line in our class."
"I think that most of them will be trying to get you to date them if you show them that you're amazing fighters." Lavender said."I like you two together though, you make the perfect couple." She added as an afterthought.
Annabeth gave her a signature glare and Percy pulled her closer to his chest.
I finally relaxed when I felt the eyes leave and travel back up to the castle. No more eyes and ears to bother me. I don't have to worry about them anymore.

How do you like the story so far? I thought I would add the wizards' perspective since we finally got to Hogwarts. I'm going off of the book mostly but there are some areas that are from the movie and some that come from me.
What do you think about my picks for house demigods?
Draco: Greek, Son of Ares
Luna: Greek, Daughter of Athena
Lavender: Roman, Daughter of Venus
Hannah: Roman, Daughter of Apollo
I think I chose well. Please keep reading! I'm sorry for my terrible writing skills but I really do like writing this story. I'll try to have the next chapter out by tomorrow at the earliest.
Blue cookies for everyone!
