DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, and the characters in those books belong to J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordan. This goes for the whole story.
UNFORTUNATELY, SHE WASN'T. Well actually, what was unfortunate was that Robert fell out of his chair. But no, he couldn't fall forward. He just had to fall sideways to the right where I was sitting. I tumbled out of my chair while what was left of my cappuccino flew out of my hands.
"Holy Poseidon, sorry Nathalia." Robert quickly got up and offered me a hand.
Naturally, I swatted it away. Glancing at Chiron, I realized where the rest of my cappuccino had gone. Sorry, I mouthed as Rachel handed her a napkin. He didn't look mad though. Both of them looked slightly amused that the fact about wizards' existence could shock Robert so much.
"Um…what about these European wizards?" I asked.
"Well," Chiron said, "The thing is we don't really know much about them. There is this one myth about Lady Hecate's children. It's quite old and barely any know the tale. But anyways, since Rachel had the vision, Praetor Reyna did some research and we agreed on sending a trio over to investigate the top three schools. In order to avoid conflict, I need three demigods that are Greek and Roman."
So that was why he needed me. Since my father is the son of Jupiter and my mother is the daughter of Aphrodite, my siblings and I are both kinds of demigods. Plus both Chloe and Felix are experienced fighters, having been selected to go on a couple quests before. Quests have never been my sort of thing, but I am part of the Grace family. Sending two of my siblings and not me wouldn't look good. The realization didn't make me too happy.
"So where are Felix and Chloe?"
"Oh, they'll probably be here soon. I believe you have woken them up and talked to Jason or Piper, Robert. And Nathalia—"
My head snapped up from its I am thinking position. Did he just call me by my name? Holy Jupiter.
"This is to remain confidential for the meantime."
Ah. That explained why he was informing us now and not later in the day during my breaks or classes. People would fire questions at me. There was enough attention being the daughter of Jason Grace and Piper McLean. But to be seen talking with Chiron or Praetor Reyna, there would be—without a doubt—too much unwanted spotlight. Demigods didn't get too many quests nowadays. And the last thing we needed was for all of the rest of the demigods to know that this one was on investigating another kind.
"What about me?" For once, Robert voiced my thoughts. Why was he here? He wasn't the only person closest to me who spent his time in the Greek Headquarters. Chiron could've asked my mother or Felix to tell the rest of our family. Please don't tell me….
"Praetor Reyna and I have decided to send you with Nathalia as well."
Why were the Fates against me?
What do you guys think of this fanfic so far?
