Hi there! I wrote this in school today.

I don't own anything.


POV: Hermione Granger.

I'm not going to lie to you and say that it was just an ordinary day, because it wasn't. A day at Camp Half-Blood is never ordinary.

People still go on quests, but I'm not one of them right now. I don't quite know who all are currently on quests at the moment because my friends are all in camp with me. There is only one person that I know for sure is on a quest and that is Nico Di Angelo.

I don't know Nico that well, I only know that he's the son of Hades and that he's friends with my half-sister Annabeth Chase and her boyfriend Percy Jackson.

Annabeth and Percy were worried. Nico had been gone for a month; his quests usually took him a week, maybe two if he stopped to visit the Underworld. He had never been gone longer than two weeks without telling the camp first.

I was sitting and reading in the grass when it happened. It startled me, of course. How often do you see an injured Nico Di Angelo stumble into camp, covered in blood and about to collapse?

"Are you alright?" I asked, helping him stand upright. I may not know him well but he's still a fellow demigod.

He lifted his hand to point in my face. He must have been in pain because it looked difficult for him to do so. "You liar."

"Um, what?" Not my brightest response, but in my defense, I was honestly confused.

"You, Hermione, are a liar," he declared in an exasperated voice.

"How do you know my name?" I had never introduced myself to him, let alone had a full-on conversation. "And why am I a liar?"

"I'm going to pass out now," he stated, avoiding my questions. He then proceeded to follow up on his words and slump against me as he fell into unconsciousness.

Gods, he was heavy.


Percy had seen me struggling to hold Nico up and had helped me get him to the Big House. Now we were waiting with Chiron and Annabeth for Nico to wake up. He was unconscious for five hours.

"That was the worst sleep I've ever had." He groaned and sat up. He looked startled to see us all. "Hi."

"How are you feeling?" Chiron asked, concern in his voice.

"Like I was hit with a bludger." I stared at him in shock at his response. He grinned when he saw my face.

Percy and Annabeth were very clearly on edge: Nico never grinned, he only smirked.

"You feeling alright?" Percy questioned uneasily.

"Yeah, yeah. I gotta talk to Hermione." Nico waved his hand in dismissal and then pointed in my face again.

"How do you know my name?" I inquired. I tried to smack his hand away from my face, but he just put it back.

"Because I know you," he replied, as if it were obvious. "How come you never told me you were a witch?"

I was now absolutely terrified. How had he figured it out? Did Chiron tell him? Or one of the gods? I didn't speak.

"So on my quest I technically died," he stated, changing the subject. "But then my dad told me about a trick that a child of Hades can use."

"What's the trick?" Annabeth asked. Percy, Chiron, and I all looked at Nico, motioning for him to continue.

"When a son or daughter of Hades is in mortal danger, they can combine with the soul of witch or wizard who recently died. The demigod gets the soul's memories and their personalities mix," he explained. "Also, if there is a difference in ages between the demigod and the soul, their body changes to be exactly half way between the ages. I'm eighteen now."

I sat frozen in utter shock, staring directly at him as the others asked various questions about magic. Finally Percy asked the question that I considered most important.

"Who were you combined with?"

Nico smirked, looking more like himself.

"A redheaded friend of Hermione Granger."

I gasped. "Fred?"


Ok, so I'm putting this in all my stories, so yeah: I would like to co-write a story in the form of letters. It'll be a Harry Potter story (unless you can come up with a better category that we both know). It can be for any characters you'd like, I'd just like to create a plot with you first. I already co-write two other stories, but neither of them are in letter form, so I wanted to see how it would turn out. Please PM me if you are interested.

Very demanding, I know. Lol.
