Thank you, again, for all the great follows and reviews. I hope everyone enjoys this next chapter. Sorry they've been short, I'm working on making them longer. The phones. In the first chapter, I forgot to mention that they are specially made to be individual. They don't send out signals, and the government can't track them. They were made for the quest by Leo and his cabin, and are used for communication between demigods, and the occasional god, or mortal parent. Thanks for reminding me: Ghosts never die

Hermione Pov

Hermione was suspicious. The kids didn't have an evil air, but it wasn't a good one either. Percy was asleep again, and Nico was looking out the window. Thalia was answering her questions, and looked only a few seconds away from snapping at her.

INFORMATION FOUND BY HERMIONE

They're exchange students from America

They like to sleep

Thalia has a very short temper

This is all she'd found out after 30 minutes of questions. Percy's condition when he came back to the carriage was what stopped Hermione from continuing to flap her mouth. Instead, she decided to watch the three. Look at details, and the way they act around each other. What she found after 30 minutes of watching:

They like to sleep

They like to eat

They like to fight

They are very good at sensing that someone is looking at them

Percy likes pointing pens at people when they surprise him

Useful isn't it? The less answers they have, the more answers she wanted to find the answer to. It was so frustrating not knowing something! Percy was looking at Hermione like he recognized her need for answers, and like they made him… his expression went blank. Hermione sighed, accepting defeat. For now.

The train slowed to a stop and the 6 kids got out, and headed towards the carriages.

"Whoa! Look at those horses! Hey Nicky! They're across between you and Perce!" Thalia grinned at her two siblings. They could see the Thestrals. Strange. Nico grumbled something about not being called Nicky, and Percy ran ahead to pet one. It looked a lot like he was petting air, but… he didn't know that that was how it looked. The kids stepped in to an empty carriage, and started whispering to each other quietly. Hermione snatched a few words, like "Hestia, Moldyvart (She guessed they meant Voldemort), and last one… My Death." She'd focused on those last words, which had come out of Percy's mouth. Both Nico and Thalia had paled considerably. Thalia had punched Percy in the ribs, then whispered something at him angrily. He'd said "I guess you actually do care about me! I was kidding! Just a test!" and stuck his tongue out at her. Then they went back to whispering, quieter this time. Hermione sighed to herself.

They finally got to the dining hall, and the three kids stopped with Mc Gongall, and She, Ron, and Harry sat at the table, and the first words exchanged were "They're Death Eaters." This came out of Ron's mouth. Harry frowned, and Hermione shook her head.

"It's rude to assume things without knowing the correct answer, but it would definitely be smart to be especially careful around them. They're too… secretive." Hermione had made her point. Harry nodded, but Ron shook his head.

"The Nico dude is creepy, Thalia is mean and has the personality of a Death Eater, and Percy said the word Death." Ron had also made his point, and now Harry looked confused. Well, Hermione had apparently not been the only one eaves dropping on them.

"You are forgetting, however, that there are people in the world who have experienced things that may have changed the way they looked, or act. My example, they could see the Thestrals. Also notice that Percy said MY Death, then the other two paled, and he was punched." Ron rolled his eyes at her statement, but he got it. He'd lost. They sat in silence for a few seconds.

At one point, McGongall burst in and announced "We have 3 new exchange students from America here to spend the year with us at Hogwarts. They are to be sorted and welcomed by all of you students, and are to be sorted in to different houses. After that, we'll have the first years do their thing, and then our prefects will escort you to your common rooms. Now, Let us begin. Di Angelo, Nico."

Nico stepped up to the chair and sat. Almost immediately, it cried out Oh you poor, poor little boy! Get me off! I've seen enough! Make it Slytherin! Ron gave Hermione a meaning full look.

"That doesn't mean a thing!" She looked away, knowing it meant a lot more than she was making it out as.

"Grace, Thalia" McGongall yelled. Thalia growled at McGongall who nodded and wrote something on her clipboard. She sat on the stool and the hat was placed on her spiky head. It screamed. She's crazy! She shouldn't be alive! Make her Hufflepuff! There was silence. Then applause from the Hufflepuff table. Hermione smiled innocently at Ron, who nit his eyebrows together. Harry remained silent.

"Jackson, Perseus" Percy whispered something to her. "Make that Jackson, Percy" Percy gave a shy-ish smile, which was strange since he seemed like a born leader. He sat and place the hat on his own head and it cried out. Get me off him! Oh my eyes! I need to be cleansed after this! It's too much! Put him in Gryffindor for goodness sake! Now remove him from under me! NowNowNowNowNow! This time, there was no applause. Only confusion and wonder. Hermione gave Ron a gloating look, and he looked down at his shoes.

"It means nothing" He mumbled.

"Whatever floats your boat, Ronald."

Please review. I feel like this was not some of my best work, but I feel like you've waited long enough. Tell me about any mistakes I made, suggestions, etc; anyone who reviewed will get a mentioning in the next chapter! Thanks! I hope you enjoyed!
