When Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 4: The Sorting and Suspicions

Ron decided to pop the bubble, "bt slthen 's evl," he tried to say around a large mouthful of food. 

Annabeth laughed as Hermione scolded Ron for eating and talking. 

"Don't worry," she said, "I have an idiot right here that does the same," she looked fondly at Percy who was also stuffing his face with...blue food? Where did he get that?

"What were you saying anyway?" Jason asked.

Ron swallowed his food before repeating, "but Slytherin's evil."

"Apparently, they're not," Annabeth countered, her gray eyes fixed on Ron. Ron tried not to squirm as she continued staring at him, it looked like she was picking out each and every one of his thoughts and analyzing them. In fact, she reminded me so much of Hermione. 

Except Hermione's way smarter, I know that for sure. Annabeth looked like one of those blondes who acted like they were smart but were the exact opposite. 

"Everyone knows that Slytherin's filled with all sorts of bad people," Hermione retorted, she looked skeptically at Annabeth. The tension was starting to thicken as the two girls eyed each other. 

"Maybe you got your information wrong then," Annabeth retaliated in a soft voice with an edge to it. Hermione looked scandalized, no doubt, indignant that some dumb blonde would dare to insult her knowledge. But before this could turn into a whole catfight, a voice came from behind me.

"Exchange students-ah, am I interrupting something?"

We all looked in unison to see Dumbledore's twinkling blue eyes staring down at us. Hermione and Annabeth quickly schooled their faces to show a neutral expression. 

"Nothing to interrupt, sir, we were just talking," said Hermione.

"Yes, a friendly conversation with friends," added Annabeth, although the words 'friendly' and 'friends' held a bit of a force to it. Hermione's left eye twitched and Dumbledore chucked. 

"I do love it when new friends become familiar ones. Friendship is a true asset to use on the go," we all continued to look blankly at him, well except for Ron and Percy who had gone back to stuffing their faces with food. Dumbledore turned to Annabeth, Percy, and Jason. 

"Can you get the rest of your friends and meet me at my office after dinner? I would like to discuss some matters with you all."

"Of course," said Annabeth and Jason together. Percy responded with a thumbs-up as he grabbed a brownie (which was blue) and shoved the whole thing in his mouth. Hermione and I simply gaped as Percy swallowed it without a problem, he seemed to notice us looking and gave us a hesitant smile. 

"Something wrong?" 

Annabeth sighed, "nothing's wrong, Seaweed Brain, we need to round up the others and go to Dumbledore's office."

"But my brownies!" Percy protested, eyeing the pile of-still blue-brownies on the plate longingly. Annabeth gave one of those long-suffering sighs that I have only heard Hermione and Mrs. Weasley use. 

"Alright, you can bring three. ONLY THREE, then we have to go to the Headmaster." 

"Leo better not steal my brownies again," Percy muttered as he snagged three of the largest ones he could find. Jason snickered at Percy's comment. 

"What did he do this time?"

"He burned me!" Percy said looking wounded, "I still have the burn marks, and then he made a run for it with my brownies before I could recover."

Jason laughed then, "but wait aren't you a son of-" he yelped loudly for some reason but didn't finish his sentence. I was confused and disappointed, what was he going to say? A son of who?

"Well we have to go," Annabeth said with a forced smile, "we'll see you in class?" 

"Definitely," Hermione said while shooting one of her own forced smiles. The exchange students strode over to the Slytherin table where I saw them say something to the rest of their friends before Leo, Calypso, Nico, and Piper got up and the whole group went to Dumbledore after waving goodbye to Draco. 

When the transfers, along with Dumbledore, disappeared out of the Great Hall, I turned to Hermione and Ron. 

"Well," I said, "it's a good thing I brought the Cloak with me this year huh?"

Yeah, I made the Hat freak out when it came to certain demigods. I couldn't help it! That part always cracks me up in crossovers XD

Okay so y'all might be wondering why I put all the demigods in either Slytherin or Gryffindor and the answer is, as always...it's important to the plot. 

Like seriously, the majority of this story is gonna be revolving around these two houses with a sprinkle of Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws here and there. So it was meant to be efficient and effective to the plot. 

With that being said, here are the houses that I believe the demigods would fit in best. I put them in multiple houses because I believe that your personality can change AND it's not just restrained to one house (aka Harry, Hermione, and many more)

Calypso: Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor

Leo: Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Gryffindor

Percy: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin

Annabeth: Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin

Piper: Slytherin, and Gryffindor (also I believe Hufflepuff although I'm not that sure)

Jason: Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor (same thing as Piper but for Ravenclaw instead)

Nico: Slytherin, Hufflepuff (kinda), and Gryffindor

Well? Did you agree with me on some or most of these? This is me looking deeply into the characteristics of the houses and of the demigods, not just me looking at what was assumed about them and the superficial parts. 

Like Percy would say: I looked in the deep end to get these opinions, not the shallow water (seriously though, that would be something he would say right?) XD

​​​​​​​But honestly, I would love to hear your opinions about this and why :)
