Piper P.O.V

Everyone whirled around to the voice who spoke. It was the very strict lady, what was her name? "Professor Mcgonagall!" Hermione exclaimed, blushing.

"Would anyone explain to me the meaning of this?" The professor said harshly.

"It's Leo" Jason said calmly. Immediately Professor Mcgonagalls' face softened.

"Is he alright?" she asked carefully, peering around Piper to see Leo, who was mumbling something in Spanish and had tears streaking down his cheeks. Before anyone answered she said, " Bring Leo, so we can discuss this somewhere safely."

Piper went to Leo's side and pulled him gently, "Come on Leo." He got up without saying a word and followed Jason and the professor down the stairs into the common room. The professor led them down the dark hallway and to a statue of a gargoyle. She said something to it but Piper was to distracted with watching Leo to hear it. The gargoyle moved aside and revealed a staircase. The professor made her way up the stairway and Jason followed close behind.

When they got to the room at the top of the stairs an office was revealed. There was a desk placed in the middle of the spacious room. Bookshelves and paintings lined the wall. But what caught her attention was the head professor who had brought them here. He was standing at the top of two staircases that connected in a dome sort of way. He was intently focused on something and didn't seem to notice their arrival.

"Professor?" Mcgonagall asked.

"Hmm?" Dumbledore said not at all startled like expected.

"These young demigods would like to speak to you about something." She replied then left the room without another word.

Piper and Jason shared a look. They never said they wanted to speak to him, in fact Professor Mcgonagall led them here! When she looked away from Jason's eyes the old man was standing right in front of them.

" You must be Piper." He said with a friendly smile on his face.

Piper was surprised, when they'd first met him, he seemed in such a hurry, and she didn't recall making any introductions.

Dumbledore smiled at her baffled expression, "Yes, daughter of Aphrodite, I know who you are and I must say it is an honor, most wizards do not know of your existence but you are all very powerful indeed." Jason shared another look with Piper and Dumbledore smiled again, "And you must be Jason, son of Jupiter."

Jason frowned slightly, "Actually it's Zeus." He corrected. Piper felt a swell of happiness to these words. She'd been so afraid he would want to take her to New Rome.

Dumbledore's eyes drifted to Leo and a knowing look crossed his face, "You must be Leo, the first fire-user in centuries." Dumbledore said carefully, obviously aware of the situation. Leo didn't respond instead he pulled some rubber bands and nail out of his tool belt and began to fiddle with them.

Piper was unsure what to do. She knew that Dumbledore needed to know of the dreams, but really didn't want to make Leo angry. Piper feared that if she walked with Dumbledore and talked to him, that it would offend Leo even more. Sighing, she said, "Jason, would you stay here with Leo while I talk to the professor, please?" She didn't mean to, but a little charm-speak was laced with her words. Piper visibly flinched when his eyes glazed over.

When Piper turned to the old man he was watching her carefully. "Walk with me" he stated, much like Chiron early yesterday morning. She walked silently next to him as he led her into a room connected to his office that she hadn't noticed before.

"What seems to be the problem?" He asked the friendly twinkle in his eyes took away her hesitation.

"Leo, um..." Piper was unsure what to say next. The acknowledgment in his eyes when he saw Leo was undeniable, but she was unsure of how much he knew. "Leo he uhh.." she began trying to find away to put it. "He was having a nightmare." At this Dumbledore's patient smile turned into a look of confusion. "He..well do you know what happened to him?" Piper finally asked, tired of trying to skirt around it.

"Very little, Chiron did not tell me much, due to Leo's personal privacy, but he did tell me that he has had an extraordinarily hard life and is all but broken." he finished.

Piper didn't agree with what he said, Leo was far past being broken not on the edge of it. In fact he was broken even when he hide it with a smile. She frowned then remembered she was supposed to be telling him of Leo.

"Yes..." she finally managed, "Yes Leo's life is very hard indeed." she agreed. "But" she baegan licking her lips. "He is dangerous, when we were trying to wake him up from his nightmare, he was getting really hot, and I'm afraid that if we hadn't woke him up he would've caught fire." she finished guilty for the 'dangerous' part.

"I see." Dumbledore said, his brow furrowing. " And you think I can help this."

He said it friendly enough but she blushed anyways. "No not help, I just wanted to make you aware of the situation. But if you could help.." she trailed off, blushing at her foolish words.

Dumbledore laughed. "Of course I could help, but I'm afraid it will have to wait until morning." he finished with a bright smile.

"Of course." Piper said smiling in relief.

Harry P.O.V

Harry stared at Hermione and Ron in astonishment. What was that?Ron, naturally was the first to break the silence, "What language was he speaking?"

Hermione gasped in annoyance at this question, "Honestly Ronald, out of every thing that just happened, his language was the first thing to come to your mind?"

"I think it was Spanish" Harry answered ignoring Hermione.

"You guys are helpless, did you not notice his screaming?" Hermione said, exasperated.

"Who didn't?" Ron answered snidely. Hermione was scolding him when another thought came to Harry's mind.

"He was hot." Harry interrupted.

"Hot?" asked Hermione, "Like fever hot?"

"I don't think so.. he was burning." Harry answered. Hermione stared at him baffled.

"I'm just saying we don't here a peep out of this guy, then he just starts screaming and speaking in a different language, I mean, what if he can't speak English?" Ron said.

Harry rolled his eyes as Hermione stared daggers at Ron. She opened her mouth to make a smart remark when they heard talking.

"- Wants to see us tomorrow morning in his office." It was Piper's voice and they were coming up the stairs.

A look was exchanged between the three, it was clear, they would be there tomorrow when this occurred.

The three of them came up the stairs and watched Leo get into bed warily. He really wanted to know what was wrong with him and couldn't wait until tomorrow to find out.
