A/N: In honor of Jason's birthday (not really this was done a week or so ago), part 2 of my Hogwarts AU!

Lumos pt 2

Jason didn't know Reyna Ramirez personally. She's another face in the sea of students and a Slytherin to boot. But he does recognize the name. Consistently, she occupied the top ten scores in DADA, Potions and Charms. She even edged out a few of Jason's housemates. That's impressive. Reyna is the only female player on the male dominated Slytherin Quidditch team. Lead chaser and substitute seeker when needed. Reyna wasn't on Jason's radar. Not until their faithful duel in fifth year.

Jason panted as he held his wand underneath Percy's chin. His cousin gritted his teeth as he looked up, meeting Jason's gaze. His dark hair flopped into his face. The Hufflepuff lifted his hands in surrender after a moment. A wave of boisterous cheers hit Jason as Leo announced his victory. "Nice try, Jackson." Jason said as he offered his hand. Percy muttered something as he slowly stood up. "What was that?"

"I said that last stunner should have got you." Percy half-shouted as he threw his arm over Jason's neck. Jason accepted the half-hug as he slapped Percy's wand against his chest. The broken furniture magically repaired and rearranged itself around them. Jason lifted his shirt letting air cool his heated body. The blackboard erased his previous opponents' names with Jason's next. Clarisse, Will and Reyna. Jason read squinting his blue eyes. "Ooh, I'm glad I didn't win. Reyna's a handful on her own."

"Reyna?" Jason repeated as they walked to the edge of the arena. Annabeth, Leo and Piper stood there, chatting as they looked at the board as well. Annabeth passed Jason a water bottle as she frowned at Percy. "Who's Reyna?" Clarisse is impossible to miss. The girl is one of the best duelers in the club. She stood confidently with Ares, surveying the space with sharp eyes. Will fiddled with his wand as he tapped his foot to some rhythm he could only hear. Beside Hades must have been Reyna. Jason cranked his head up to get a better look.

From a distance, she looked extremely beautiful with long dark hair tied up in a ponytail. She was tall and slender with soft tanned skin and mile long legs. The gray skirt and oxford shirt showed off her figure nicely. Like she could sense Jason's gaze, Reyna turned her head. Dark eyes met Jason's blue ones. His heart jumped a bit. Must be the adrenaline. He thought as he turned away. Annabeth arched her eyebrow, noticing Jason's reaction. "That's her?" Jason asked.

"Oh yeah that's her." Leo confirmed as he smiled in that direction. "Reyna Ramirez. Slytherin. Chaser. Top ten hottest girls in Hogwarts. OW!" Piper pinched Leo's arm at the last tidbit. The Gryffindor glared at his housemate as he rubbed it. "What? You're on there too. Pity she's a Slytherin." Piper shook her head and gave Jason a concern look. Jason sent her a reassuring smile. Leo nudged her. "He'll be fine, Beauty Queen. As long as he doesn't get distracted."

"Ha, look who's talking." Jason replied as he bumped fists with Leo and Percy. Jason squeezed Piper's shoulder and traded looks with Annabeth. "You know her, right? Any advice?"

"Don't underestimate her, Jason. She's good." Numbers changed on the blackboard as odds jumped up and down. Jason frowned. Clarisse was a favorite to win with him and Reyna tied in second. He tried not to look too impressed. "Top marks in both Charms and DADA. She's tricky."

"Of course. I can't have an easy duel. Thanks." Jason handed the water bottle back and turned to face the duelers. The barrier shimmered around them, reforming. Everyone stood in a quadrant of the circle. To Jason's right was Will, his wand out and ready. Across stood Clarisse who glared directly at Jason, clearly marking her first target. The blond smirked, tapping his wand ideally against his leg. He turned and smiled towards Reyna, trying to catch her gaze. She tilted her head, acknowledging him. Jason shifted his gaze towards the huge wardrobe closest to them, wondering if she got the message.

"Duelers ready?" Ares' booming voice echoed through the arena. The crowd started to stomp. It slowly grew louder in excitement. Energy hummed in the air. "Bow." Jason licked his dry lips as he lowered his head slightly. His muscles tense in anticipation. "Begin!"

Jason dashed forward towards the wardrobe, ducking down. Then things got crazy. Furniture started hovering before flying randomly. "Holy," Jason vaulted over a trunk and rolled between the legs of a desk. It was a mess but somehow the double wardrobe stayed fix. Jason pressed his back, panting as he tried to get his bearing. Spells flashed and bounced off the shield. A chair burst into flames as it soar over Jason's protection. Someone rolled beside Jason. He turned to see the point of a wand in his face.

"Silencio!" Jason quickly grabbed her thin wrist and pointed away from his face. The silence charm flew over his head. "Hey, hey," Jason shouted, pulling her closer. She struggled and glared at him. "Hey, please don't hex my ass."

"For now." Reyna said as she ripped her arm away. Jason chuckled and crouched beside her as more furniture flew over them. Reyna peeked around the wardrobe, holding on to one of the handle. "So Will?" Jason moved besides her, feeling the warmth from her body. Will stood in the center of the storm like a conductor. The furniture danced around the arena, trying to slam into Clarisse.

"Clarisse is going to take him out. This won't stop her." Jason commented. The older girl slashed her wand around like a sword. Furniture split and exploded from her spells. A manic smile spread across her lips. Reyna gave him a side-glance.

"And we can?" She asked.

"If we team up, we have a better chance. Truce?" Jason asked, offering his hand. Suddenly, all the furniture dropped with a dead thud. Will flew over their hiding spot, flung through the air and out of the arena. Reyna's eyes widen as they could hear Clarisse's slow footsteps. Reyna peeked out.

"Stupefy!"

Jason pulled Reyna back as the stunner flew by. Her vanilla scent tickled Jason's nose as she pressed against his chest. Her hand pressed against his chest. "Truce." Reyna agreed as she pushed away. She tapped her wand against her shoes, murmuring a charm. They glowed gold for a moment. "I'll distract her."

"How?" The question barely left his lips before the Slytherin girl dove out of cover. She moved quickly, fast like she's on a broom. Clarisse fired spells rapidly but Reyna hopped, tucked and rolled like a rabbit. A sly grin tugged at her lips as she jumped on a desk, firing her own stunner. "Why didn't I think of that?" Jason muttered as he smiled.

Clarisse wasn't as impressed. The sixth year Gryffindor waved her wand like a whip. A stream of water rushed out like a snake. Reyna flipped back, dodging and found her footing. Reyna ran, firing incendio charms over her shoulder. Stream of steam rose from the water snake but it still charged towards her.

"Grace!" Reyna shouted. Jason darted out of his hiding spot, sending a huge gust of wind towards Clarisse. That didn't deter the girl as her snake flew up. Reyna's enhancement charm wore off as her shoes lost their golden glow. The snake reared up before diving down on the girl.

"Reyna!" Jason yelled before firing a stunner and disarming charm towards Clarisse.

"Bambarda!" Reyna pointed her wand right at the snake. Its huge mouth engulfed the girl before glowing red and exploding in a huge cloud of steam. Jason stood there for a moment before sprinting towards her.

"Reyna!" Jason summoned a gust of wind, pushing the steam away. His eyes wildly searched for the girl. Broken pieces of wood covered the arena. Nothing survived the duel. Jason felt a tap against the back of his neck. The boy tensed before slowly turning around. Reyna stood there with her wand aimed at his chest. Jason clenched his wand, maintaining eye contact. He couldn't stop the smile on his lips. "Truce over?"

"Afraid so." She replied with a smile of her own.
