In the living room, Sirius showed Evelyn the piano. Together they pulled the cover off releasing a cloud of dust. Once they had stopped sneezing Sirius said, "What that blasted house-elf has been doing for the past ten years, I don't know."
House-elf? Evelyn wondered as she looked over the piano. "It's been ten years since it's been cleaned?" Sirius nodded and Evelyn started grumbling angrily about leaving musical instruments unattended.
"Is she alright?" Ron asked looking at Evelyn like she was mad.
"Yeah she's fine," Percy said laughing. "She just takes any neglect to musical instruments as a personal insult."
Evelyn pressed a key and yelped at the noise it made. She covered her ears a look of pain on her face. The other demigods groaned and Thalia ran over to Evelyn. She grabbed the daughter of Apollo by the arm and pulled her away from the piano and over to the rest of the group.
"Come on sunshine you can spend all day fixing that piano," Thalia said as Evelyn tried to get away. "You're not going to be up all night."
"No let me go Sparky!" Evelyn protested.
"No," Thalia replied making Evelyn sit down with the rest of the students. "If you try to go to the piano I'll shock you." Evelyn glared viciously at Thalia for her last comment.
Percy laughed. "Don't do death glares Eve. They don't suit you at all."
"So how old are you?" Ginny asked.
"Thalia, Evelyn and I are seventeen," Annabeth said before thinking, Well technically Thalia's in her twenties but stuck at fifteen but that's too complicated to explain without saying why.
Thalia grinned saying, "And Percy's stuck being sixteen for the next couple weeks." Percy pouted at that.
"So you'll be seventh years with Fred and George them," Hermione said.
"Actually since our curriculum is different than yours, we'll be in fifth year," Evelyn explained.
"Oh so you'll be with me, Harry and Hermione then," Ron said.
"So what are the classes like?" Annabeth asked. Hermione went on to talk about the different core classes Transfiguration, Potions, Charms, Herbology, Astronomy, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and History of Magic with occasional comments from Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, or George.
"What extra classes are you taking?" Hermione asked.
"We're all taking Care of Magical Creatures and Ancient Runes," Thalia said.
"Well Hermione's the only one here out of our year who's taking Ancient Runes," Harry said. "But the three of us are taking Care of Magical Creatures."
"I'm also taking Arithmancy," Annabeth said.
"Nice I'm in that class as well," Hermione said smiling at her fellow bookworm.
"I'm also going to be in Divination," Evelyn said. "Percy and Thalia aren't taking a third elective." Hermione had huffed at the mention of Divination. "What's wrong?" Evelyn asked confused.
"Divination is a complete waste of time," Hermione replied. "I don't know why Harry and Ron haven't dropped it like I did. It's a wooly subject and completely ridiculous."
Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia watched Evelyn carefully wondering what her reaction was going to be. Evelyn just laughed. "Well if one doesn't have the gift then you're right it can be a waste of time except for the fact that prophecies are well and truly real."
"How can you believe that?" Hermione asked.
"We've heard a lot of prophecies," Percy said.
"And seen them come true," Annabeth continued and the four demigods trailed off down memory lane.
"Really?" Hermione asked skeptically.
"Really," Evelyn said. "Here's an example of one that started to come true a year ago give or take a couple months or so and completely came true this summer." Thalia, Annabeth, and Percy looked at Evelyn worriedly as she continued. "It will happen tonight… The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before midnight… the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever he was. Tonight… before midnight… the servant… will set out… to rejoin … his master…"
Harry, Ron and Hermione stared at Evelyn in shock while Percy, Annabeth and Thalia relaxed slightly since Evelyn didn't say the Second Great Prophecy that they thought she was going to say but what she said none of them had recognized. Evelyn was slightly confused because she had actually been planning on saying the second Great Prophecy since it was one she knew and didn't mention the Greek Gods in any way.
"How did you know that?" Harry asked. "I only ever told Hermione, Ron, and Professor Dumbledore about that prophecy."
Evelyn shrugged. "Gut instinct."
"You aren't Death Eaters are you?" Ron asked thinking that maybe Scabbers/Pettigrew had somehow heard the prophecy and relayed it to the Death Eaters.
Evelyn, Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia shared glances and then started laughing. "Death Eaters. Who would want to eat Death?" Thalia wondered between laughs.
"No idea what kind of name is that?" Percy wondered.
"You don't know who the Death Eaters are?" Fred asked.
"Nope," Evelyn said chuckling.
"You-Know-Who's followers," George said.
"No we don't know who," Annabeth said confused.
"Voldemort's followers," Harry clarified wondering how they didn't know who Voldemort was.
"Oh him," Percy said. "He's got a really weird name too." The Brits stared at him in shock while the demigods rolled their eyes.
"Do try not to piss off another person who wouldn't hesitate to blast you into smithereens," Annabeth sighed.
Percy chuckled rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "I'll try Annabeth."
"All right you lot," Mrs. Weasley said coming over to their group. "It's late and it has been a long day so bed." She turned to the demigods. "Sirius said he'll show you where you are sleeping."
Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, Harry, and Hermione said good night and headed up to bed. Sirius led Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Evelyn up the stairs. He stopped outside Harry and Ron's room saying, "Percy you'll be rooming with Harry and Ron in here." He then headed down the hall to another room and opened the door. "And here's where you girls will be sleeping." The four teens walked into the room looking around.
Percy was just about to give Annabeth a goodnight kiss when Sirius closed the door and leaned against it. Having nonverbally cast a silencing charm on the room so no outside ears, extendable or not, could hear what was going on inside, said, "So you lot are demigods huh?"
