Chapter 2:
Nico:
And with that I was off, Chiron gave me a saddened look, and Hades a half burnt picture of the girl I was looking for. 'Her-mi-oneh'. 'Renowned for being the greatest witch of her generation' She really did resemble Hectate. It was all in the eyes, the curiosity, and the not being able to accept defeated.
To be honest I would have been looking for her for hours unless she had grabbed my arm.
"Uh, hi?" I mumbled as she pushed me through the crowd.
"My name is Hermione Granger, and who are you?" Her eyes narrowed to the beads on my necklace. Though she didn't say anything about them.
"Nico" I mumbled. Chiron told me to use a different name... Leveque. Nico Leveque.
"Your last name too." She pointed her wand to my throat. Oh gods, she is threatening too. Right- Nice, Nico. Keep your cool.
"Oh my gods. Stop pointing this at me! My name is Nico Leveque! I'm new, but is this how you treat all the new kids? Thanks I think I will go to Drumstang instead." I hit a nerve for some reason. Bingo...
"Sorry.." She blushed. "With you know who, you can't be too careful... You wanna' ride the train in my cabin? I owe you one." There we go. Respect finally. She needs to be more careful with whom she messes with.
"Sure, Its fine I get it though, you seem nice." I forced a smile, ugh! I NEVER SMILE! Ugh, if Percy knew...
"So Nico, Where's your wand?" Oh fuck. Crap, Crap, Crap... Where did I put that stupid stick? I groaned and fumbled into my bag. Book? No... Come on! Chiron said he had packed everything! My fingers touch something cold, ruff... wood!
"Got it!" I yell, Hermione seemed pleased yet I have a feeling she wont let this go... Gods, a wizard who can't find his wand. Brilliant!
"Nice!" She snatched it from my hands. It was antique, Chiron had talk to Hectate to get a wand for me. Hermione probably hadn't seen something like this before, her eye brows were furrowed.
"What's wrong?" I asked trying to sound as calm as I can. Hectate told Chiron it had been used by someone important.
"Oh my gosh..." She mumbled. Her eyes had grown and were the size of two gumballs.
"What!" I yelled. Can't she tell me? I thought this girl was smart. I want my damn wand back.
"I've seen this before..." She stared at me with that curious look only a demigod can make. The kind of look that says: I envy you, I'm proud of you, I Fear you, I want to know more about you. I Snatched it back from her, to be honest, it was mine anyways.
"All Aboard!" I Herd a driver yell. Hermione quickly grabbed my arm and before I knew it we were inside a train compartment with a cute blond, and a confused kid named LongBottom.
Hermione:
Perhaps I envied the new kid. Maybe I found his deep brown eyes, his look of toughness, stunnning. However- We must not forget that I- Being Hermione Jean Granger, am NOT bloody blind! This kid was hidding something. And the whole "I'll wear a leather jacket that conviently hides my upper arms." Thing, will not work with me.
To get the info I need on this kid, I need to get close to him.
And I know, EXACTLY. How to do that.
