Sorting

Third Person P.O.V.

All the demigods know that Asteria was worried about everything going wrong. That's why Annabeth suggested Asteria have time to herself. When they arrive at the station a professor was standing there waiting for them

"First years line up over here, please! All first years and American transfer to me!" Professor Grubbly-Plank says.

All demigods followed her to a large lake. Percy smiles as he gets into a boat. Annabeth goes with him to make sure he doesn't do something stupid. All the demigods just had to be children and it was okay. None of them knew the consciences of them not befriending a wizard in this world.

The demigods were not allowed in until after the first years had been sorted. And when they did most of the professors were eyeing them down. There were more whispers than usual and they all could tell.

"We would like to welcome a new set of transfer students that will begin their fifth year with us," Professor Dumbledor says to everyone. "They went to Delphi Academy for the Magically Gifted before they're families had to move here. They will be sorted into the house and will be staying with us for the remaining school years."

Everyone applauded as the demigods entered. Each one of the professors is being more observant about them.

"Chase, Annabeth," Professor McGonagall called out.

The hat didn't even touch her head before yelling, "RAVENCLAW."

"di Angelo, Nico."

"SLYTHERIN."

"Grace, Jason."

"GRYFFINDOR."

"Grace, Thalia."

"GRYFFINDOR"

"Jackson, Percy."

"HUFFLEPUFF."

"Katsaras, Asteria."

"GRYFFINDOR."

"Levesque, Hazel."

"HUFFLEPUFF."

"McLean, Piper."

"SLYTHERIN"

"Valdez, Leo."

"RAVENCLAW."

"Zhang, Frank."

"HUFFLEPUFF."

Everyone was now curious about why the demigods got sorted so quickly. Though most didn't take it seriously. Everyone began to eat and talk for a while most of the demigods looked as if wondering how will they be able to create a fire.

"Asteria, do you know how to conjure up a flame," Nico asked from across the room.

"I could try but you guys need to come here," Asteria says.

All the students looked at them weirdly. Since they all spoke in a language they didn't understand. They watched as she quickly said something in Latin and fire appeared in her hands. All the demigods came to give food to the gods as the students and professor watched suspiciously. But continue on with their day.

"How did you do that?" Hermione asked.

"Some of us can do wandless magic. It's taught to a select few students," Asteria says as she puts out the fire.

When all the students had finished eating and the noise level in the hall was starting to creep upward again, Dumbledore got to his feet once more. Talking ceased immediately as all turned to face the headmaster. Harry was feeling pleasantly drowsy now. His four-poster bed was waiting somewhere above, wonderfully warm and soft. . . .

"Well, now that we are all digesting another magnificent feast, I beg a few moments of your attention for the usual start-of-term notices," said Dumbledore. "First years ought to know that the forest in the grounds is out of bounds to students — and a few of our older students ought to know by now too."

"Mr. Filch, the caretaker, has asked me, for what he tells me is the four hundred and sixty-second time, to remind you all that magic is not permitted in corridors between classes, nor are a number of other things, all of which can be checked on the extensive list now fastened to Mr. Filch's office door. We have had two changes in staffing this year. We are very pleased to welcome back Professor Grubbly-Plank, who will be taking Care of Magical Creatures lessons; we are also delighted to introduce Professor Umbridge, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

Dumbledore continued, "Tryouts for the House Quidditch teams will take place on the —"

He broke off, looking inquiringly at Professor Umbridge. As she was not much taller standing than sitting, there was a moment when nobody understood why Dumbledore had stopped talking, but then Professor Umbridge said, "Hem, hem," and it became clear that she had got to her feet and was intending to make a speech.

That was when all the demigods knew that this professor was up to something. They looked between each other and silently judged what she might say. Even the other professors were judging her. To them, this was not normal. Her voice was girly to being with and most of the demigods blocked it out. That was until Professor Umbridge said this,

"The Ministry of Magic has always considered the education of young witches and wizards to be of vital importance. The rare gifts with which you were born may come to nothing if not nurtured and honed by careful instruction. The ancient skills unique to the Wizarding community must be passed down through the generations lest we lose them forever. The treasure trove of magical knowledge amassed by our ancestors must be guarded, replenished, and polished by those who have been called to the noble profession of teaching."

Asteria looks at Thalia and then back at Professor Umbridge.

She whispers in Greek, "This is why we're here. The government is trying to infiltrate the school."

Hermione is now curious as to what the demigods are up to. First on the list, of why to be suspicious of the new transfer students, is that they speak in another language to not make anyone would know what they're up to. She will continue this list with Harry and Ron after the feast. Unknowingly the demigods had started to make many people suspicious of them. But they are going to make the most of it.
