Chapter two: Back to Hogwarts
I never expected to see Harry and the others that night. I still don't understand why I have to go ahead. Even if I am the only one who knows about this place couldn't they just send Percy or another demigod? My dad told me to go ahead to Hogwarts that night in the Underworld. I wore the same cloak that I wore when I was there two years ago then shadow traveled away. The next thing I knew, I was in a huge camp and there were fires in every other direction. The tents were either on fire or reduced into ashes and I was feeling extremely tired. It never occurred to me that this was the first time I shadow traveled to the Wizarding World. I thought I might have gotten to a different place but I was in the right place since the next thing I knew there were wands pointed at me. I instinctively raised my sword but my tiredness overwhelmed me that I almost passed out dropping my sword. They grabbed me and brought me to the other wizards. And then before I know it I was watching the Weasleys play Quidditch in a huge Backyard. Since I don't like to fly and watching a game that I don't understand was starting to bore me I went inside the house and talked to the others. The Weasleys invited me to stay in their place even if there were a lot of people already. I simply declined but Mrs. Weasley was persistent.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley," I said "thanks for letting me stay till school starts"
"No Problem Dear" she said "any friend of the boys is like family to us, especially after what happened to Ginny"
"You really shouldn't thank me for that one that one was mostly Harry" I said
"So Nico what have you been up too why weren't you here last year" Ginny asked
"I was at Greece" I said
"How were you able to get there we wanted to go there last year but they said that there was a war and they cancelled all trips to Greece?"Ginny asked
"we were the ones stopping the war" I said "Giants were attacking Mount Olympus the old home of the Gods if they succeeded it would have been the end for all of us"
"What does that have to do with you, children?" Mrs. Weasley asked motherly "you could have gotten hurt"
"I guess I never formally introduced myself haven't I" I said then showed her my tattoo. After the war some of the Greek campers were welcomed to the Legion and were given tattoos for their 'act of valor' for their contribution during the Giant War.
"I am Nico di Angelo, Son of Hades, god of the Underworld. I am known as the Ghost King to the Greeks and the Ambassador from Pluto to the Romans, I am a hero of Olympus."
"You're a Hero I know of but why do you have to be involved in such dangerous things" she said
I sighed "Mrs. Weasley, danger happens to us in a daily basis. Demigods are known to have an aura of that attracts monsters. Especially for the Children of the Big Three"
"The Big Three?" Ginny asked
"The three oldest gods in Greek Mythology" Hermione answered "the oldest sons of Kronos"
"Why don't the adults fight in these?" Mrs. Weasley asked
"There aren't many adult demigods, Mrs. Weasley. We would be lucky if we ever reach that stage. Most get killed by monsters or don't come back from quests…Like my sister" I said sadly remembering that I'll never be able to see Bianca again.
"But why don't the gods fight the battles?" Mrs. Weasley asked
"Because they need Heroes" said Charlie while entering with the others brooms in hand. "Let me guess you told her about the war at Rome?"
"Nope the one in Mount Olympus" I said
"I still don't think children should be involved in these"
"Mum, they've train most of their lives for these it is their jobs as heroes" Charlie explained
"Also if you don't train you'll end up as monster food" I added "so how was your game?" asking the others
"It was fun, but I can't wait for the school year though this year we are going to win the Quidditch Cup" Harry said I looked at Charlie and Bill they both know that there isn't going to be a Quidditch Cup this year. All I know is this is going to be an interesting year.
A Few days later
I had slept in Ron's room along with Harry, Ron and the twins. I was watching them as they did some last minute packing.
"Aren't you going to pack?" Ron asked
"Nope," I said "I only have my backpack and I fixed everything last night."
"How are you able to pack all your books in this" Harry asked lifting my backpack
"Oh, I am not here as a student this time" I said "this time I am here as a… as a guest"
"What is that supposed to be?" He was holding up something that looked like a long, maroon velvet dress. It had a moldy-looking lace frill at the collar and matching lace cuffs. I was trying not to laugh then there was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Weasley entered, carrying an armful of freshly laundered Hogwarts robes.
"Here you are," she said, sorting them into two piles for Harry and Ron "Now, mind you pack them properly so they don't crease." Then she looked at me sitting on the bed with my dagger in its sheath.
"Are you don't packing?" she asked I nodded then showed her my closed backpack and my knife/wand in my side.
"Mum, you've given me Ginny's new dress," said Ron, handing out the robes to her
"Of course I haven't," said Mrs. Weasley. "That's for you. Dress robes."
"What?" said Ron, looking horror-struck.
"Dress robes!" repeated Mrs. Weasley. "It says on your school list that you're supposed to have dress robes this year. . . robes for formal occasions."
"wow those make my cloak look normal, seriously I look like the Grim Reaper in that thing but that is what wizards use for formal wear?" I asked she just nodded
"You've got to be kidding," said Ron in disbelief. "I'm not wearing that, no way."
"Everyone wears them, Ron!" said Mrs. Weasley crossly. "They're all like that! Your father's got some for smart parties!"
"I'll go stalkers before I put that on," said Ron stubbornly.
"Don't be so silly," said Mrs. Weasley. "You've got to have dress robes, they're on your list! I got some for Harry too. . . show him, Harry... ."
Harry opened the last parcel on his camp bed. It wasn't as bad, however; his dress robes didn't have any lace on them at all - in fact, and they were more or less the same as their school ones, except that they were bottle green instead of black.
"I thought they'd bring out the color of your eyes, dear," said Mrs. Weasley fondly.
"Well, they're okay!" said Ron angrily, looking at Harry's robes. "Why couldn't I have some like that?"
"Because. . . well, I had to get yours secondhand, and there wasn't a lot of choice!" said Mrs. Weasley, flushing.
"I'm never wearing them," Ron was saying stubbornly. "Never."
"Fine," snapped Mrs. Weasley. "Go naked. And, Harry, make sure you get a picture of him. Goodness knows I could do with a laugh." She left the room, slamming the door behind her. There was a funny spluttering noise from behind them. Pigwidgeon was choking on an overlarge Owl Treat.
"Why is everything I own rubbish?" said Ron furiously, striding across the room to unstick Pigwidgeon's beak.
"Don't think that way at least you have a home and a family" I said
"What about you? Your father is a god and you come from a huge family" he asked
"My dad is busy being a god most gods are if it weren't for Percy we wouldn't be talking to our parents at all let alone see them." I said "other than my dad my family members are dead my mom died when I was 2 and my sister died 4 years ago. And 2years ago she chose to be reborn so I'll never be able to see her again."
"I'm sorry" Ron said "anyway come on lets go or we're going to miss the train"
I grabbed my backpack and left the room. It was raining madly outside Mrs. Weasley had called for a few cabs. The cab drivers weren't so thrilled to transport 6 trunks and an overly hyperactive owl. Hermione's cat was frantic by the time we got to the platform we had several scratches.
"I might be seeing you guys sooner than you thing" Charlie said while he was hugging his sister.
"Why?" said Fred keenly.
"You'll see," said Charlie. "Just don't tell Percy I mentioned it... it's classified information, until such time as the Ministry sees fit to release it,' after all."
"Yeah, I sort of wish I were back at Hogwarts this year," said Bill, hands in his pockets, looking almost wistfully at the train.
"Why?" said George impatiently.
"You're going to have an interesting year," said Bill, his eyes twinkling. "I might even get time off to come and watch a bit of it."
"A bit of what?" said Ron.
"Come on guys lets go on the train and find a compartment" I interrupted "thanks again Mrs. Weasley"
"Thanks for having us to stay, Mrs. Weasley," said Hermione as we climbed on board, closed the door, and leaned out of the window to talk to her.
"Yeah, thanks for everything, Mrs. Weasley," said Harry.
"Oh it was my pleasure, dears," said Mrs. Weasley. "I'd invite you for Christmas, but…well, I expect you're all going to want to stay at Hogwarts, what with. . . one thing and another."
"Mum!" said Ron irritably to me and the older Weasleys "What d'you four know that we don't?"
"You'll find out this evening, I expect," said Mrs. Weasley, smiling. "It's going to be very exciting - mind you, I'm very glad they've changed the rules –"
"What rules?" said Harry, Ron, Fred, and George together.
"I'm sure Professor Dumbledore will tell you. . . . Now, behave, won't you? Won't you, Fred? And you, George?" The pistons hissed loudly and the train began to move.
"Tell us what's happening at Hogwarts!" Fred bellowed out of the window as Mrs. Weasley, Bill, and Charlie sped away from them. "What rules are they changing?" but they Apparated away.
"What rules are they changing?" he demanded from me as we were leaving the platform
" I don't know about you Wizards but I know the rule to me from my father is not to tell" I said "and if I tell you… let's just say that my father's wrath is worse than any other parent's" I shudder at the thought.
We were already passing by grasslands then we saw a familiar blond Slytherin.
"Hey look whose back" Malfoy said "The Half-Blood Slytherin is back"
"Hey Draco" I said "sad to tell you I'm not here for school this year"
"What are you here for then I doubt that you're here for that event happening this year" he said "your nothing more than a half-blood, half unwanted" that got me mad
"For your information, I might be a half-blood but I am more powerful than you Mortals" I said
"Whatever" he answered back "I bet your just here to look for the demigod I heard from my father that a demigod was sent ahead and is on this train right now"
"Actually he is closer than you think" I said pulling back the sleeves of my aviator's jacket letting him get a glimpse of my new tattoo.
"What's that di Angelo, the mark of your impurity" he said now he was getting on my nerves.
I stood up and showed him the tattoo, a black glyph, SPQR, and my first stripe.
"This marks a member of a legion. I am a member of the Twelfth Legion Fulminata. I am Nico di Angelo, Son of Hades. Now unless you want to meet my father in such a young age I would suggest you leave" I said pushing him out of the compartment and closing the door.
The other three were staring at me with awe and fear.
"What was that" Ron asked "you were surrounded with shadows again and what does that tattoo mean anyway"
"Ron he was emitting energy" Hermione said "there was a flickering black energy around you just now"
"Son of Hades that is what the tattoo means. The Glyph is a symbol if my father, SPQR is the motto of the Roman Empire, Senatus Populusque Romanus, the Senate and the People of Rome. and the stripe is for how many years you are in the legion. I only became a member last year" I said in explanation then I sighed "I should really stop getting angry or it will be the death of me" they laughed then they noticed that I was serious.
"You're kidding right" Harry said I shook my head
"Every hero has something we call a fatal flaw. It's a trait in us that could cause our death. Holding Grudges is the fatal flaw of the Children of Hades. We tend to get mad at someone that if when we might need them but we still hold our grudge against them that it will cause our demise" I said "well at least my fatal flaw only affects me"
"Why ?" Hermione asked curiously
" For other's their fatal flaw affects others, like my cousin. When Athena talked to him I quote 'you would risk the world to save the life of a friend' he wouldn't be able to save the world if a friends life is on the line" I said
"So his fatal flaw is … Loyalty isn't that a good trait" Harry asked I shrug
"That the life of a demigod" I said when I looked outside it was starting to get dark. Which means were close to Hogwarts "Anyway I hope I don't have to seat in the Slytherin Table while I'm here but I might have to before the others get here" I groaned
" Others? You mean there are other demigods coming here?" Ron asked
I smiled "you'll see" I said then I can see the castle through the window "Welcome back to Hogwarts guys"
