Chapter 4- Arguments, Lot's of Arguments

Annabeth POV:

We disappeared into an alleyway when the wizards looked away.

"Okay, you better start talking, Leo, or I'm going to start hurting people," Thalia said, cracking her knuckles.

"Thalia, calm down and let him talk," Jason said.

"So, I died, Festus injected me with the physician's cure, and we went to Ogygia. Then we went back to CHB, you guys were gone, some lady poofed in, made me deage, told me to come here, and whala!" Leo said in about 5 seconds. "So why are we here?"

"We are here to protect Harry Potter. He's the kid with glasses that kind of looks like Percy," I told him. "And don't tell them we're demigods."

"Yes, ma'am!" leo said and saluted.

We left the alleyway and saw that the door to Number 12 was gone.

"Oh come on," Percy yelled.

I saw Nico smile, then disappear into the shadows. A minute later, a door and a house appeared between numbers 13 and 11. The door opened and Nico came out.

"Found the way in," he said.

"Showoff," Percy muttered, and went inside.

We followed him in. Dang, I forgot how creepy it was in here.

"Hellooo!" Percy yelled. "It's not nice to leave your guests outside!"

"Shut up, Kelp Head," Thalia said and whacked him.

"Hey!"

"If you two start fighting again, I'm going to kill you," Nico warned.

"Can't we settle this peacefully for once?" Hazel asked.

"NO!" Percy, Thalia, and Nico yelled.

"TAKE COVER!" Leo yelled and dove under a table.

Frank turned into a mouse and ran in the opposite direction. Calypso, Hazel,and Piper followed Leo's example and dove under the table. Reyna and I exchanged looks and slowly backed away. Jason, being an idiot, tried being a peacemaker and was unconscious in a second.

"Why are you two so immature all the time?" Nico said.

"Why are you so serious?" Percy and Thalia said at the same time. "Hey! Stop copying me! No, you're copying ME!"

"This is exactly what I'm talking about!"

"Shut up Emo Boy!"

"For the last time, Thalia, I'm not Emo!"

"Well you sure act like one."

"I DO NOT!"

"Emo /Boy, Emo Boy-"

"SHUT UP, PERCY!"

"Whatever you say, Emo Boy."

Nico launched himself at Percy and tackled him. Thalia shrugged before going in and beating them both up. They were in a full blown fight in a matter of seconds. Reyna finally had to come in a break up the fight.

"Mudbloods! Filth in the house of my father!" a voice screamed.

"What in the Hades is that?!" Leo yelled, covering his ears.

"It sounds like the Kindly Ones!" Percy yelled.

"Don't go throwing those names around!" Nico yelled back.

"SHUT UP!" Piper yelled, using her charmspeak.

Everyone stopped yelling, even the screaming lady. Frank the Mouse came back and turned into Frank again.

"Screaming portrait," he panted.

"Is it sad that that's not the weirdest thing we've ever heard of? Percy asked.

"Yes, yes it is."

"So what do we do!" Leo shouted.

"Shhh… you'll wake it up," Jason whisper-yelled, having to regained consciousness.

"I have an idea, How about we run and you talk to it. Deal. Deal," Percy said.

"Go!" Leo shouted.

"What are we supposed to say?" said Calypso and I said in unison.

"I don't know! Tell it to shut up!" Jason yelled.

"I am not telling a living creature to shut up!" I yelled at Jason angrily.

"Ugh, you're all idiots. Just go, I'll take care of it," Nico said, annoyed.

Okay, son of Hades + social situation = bad.

Nico's POV

I marched out of the room and into the hallway. There was a portrait of a lady wearing all black and was still screaming her head off.

"SHUT UP!" I yelled.

The lady's eyes bulged out and she started yelling again.

"Filth! Scum! Knife!"

I had pulled out a throwing knife and had it pointed at her face.

"You will be quiet unless you want me to cut this portrait off the wall and burn it!" I said, deadly calm.

THe lady shut up and some old, moth-eaten curtains closed over the portrait. I put my knife away and walked back to where everyone was.

When I got back to the room, Percy and Thalia were arguing about something. I walked over to Reyna.

"Now what are they arguing about?" I asked her.

"Why they let you, quote, 'go talk to the screaming painting,' alone." Reyna said.

"That is literally the stupidest thing I've ever heard anyone argue about," I said.

"Same."

I heard voices with a distinct British accent behind me.

"Blimey, have they been arguing the entire time?"
"Yeah, they even threatened each other."

I smirked slightly before moving into the shadows. I show-traveled to a spot right behind them.

"You know, it's not nice to talk about people behind their back," I said casually.

Four redheads, Harry, and Hermione jumped and turned around.

"What the bloody hell, mate?" Ron {is that his nickname?} said loudly.

"What? It's true." I said innocently.

"Where did you come from?" Fred and George asked in unison.

"Italy, it's a nice place," I said. Gods, this is too much fun.

"You're bloody mad!" Ron yelled.

"Nico! What the Hades is going on out here" I heard Percy yell. "It sounds like you're getting attacked by a British telkine!"

The wizards looked confused at Percy's word choice.

"What's a telkine?" Harry asked.

"You don't want to know," I said vaguely. Then I stepped into the shadows and shadow traveled back to the room.

"Geez Nico, what took you so long?" Thalia asked.

"British Stalkers," I answered.

"Not the weirdest thing I've ever heard," Percy said. "Wait, What?"

"Yeah, Ron, Hermione, Harry, Redheaded Stolls, and Ginny are listening to everything we're saying," I said.

"WHAT!?" everyone yelled at me.

"Yep."

They barrelled out the door and about trampled our hosts.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you people?!" Ron yelled.]

Percy, Annabeth, and I flinched at the word hell. No one noticed though.

"What's wrong with us? You're the one's listening to us!" Thalia said angrily.

"Well excuse us for being curious!" Hermione retorted.

"Did you ever think to have a conversation like normal people?"

"We aren't normal people and I doubt you guys are either."

"That's a very true statement."

"And how is that?"

Dang it. She had us there. Please say something smart, Annabeth, please.

"There you six are. Oh, Dumbledore would like to talk to the exchange students," Mrs. Weasley said as she came into the room.

Percy, Thalia, and Leo's faces turned red from trying not to laugh. The wizard kids looked at them like they were crazy, which they kind of are.

"This will be like an Order meeting. So you six will stay in your rooms. And no more of your inventions!" Mrs. Weasley added, glaring at the Redheaded Stolls.

"Come on dears, Dumbledore is waiting,"
