Later that day, Harry spent quite some time thinking with his chin resting on his hands. Who would come after Harry after the war? Death Eaters who haven't been arrested yet? Random citizens who think Harry should be dead? Or just a random guy?
Also, Professor Jackson had mentioned Professor Chase's name. Was she involved in this? There were so many questions yet not enough answers.
(Linebreak)
Harry had gathered Ron and Hermione in the Common Room for he couldn't keep it in any longer.
"So you're saying that Professor Jackson can't be trusted?" Hermione asked him with a frown.
"I knew it!" Ron slammed his fist in to his palm and shot up. "He was too unnatural!"
"But what-" Hermione started.
"Professor Chase is with him, they seemed to be very close" Ron declared.
"But-"
"We need to find out who they are" Harry said, his face wrinkled from thinking hard.
"But-"
"And I need to do some research about the spell he used."
Ron was about to interrupt Hermione again before she beat him to it.
"Okay! I get that we should be on our guards so soon after the war but honestly!" She cried. "What gives us the right to stick our faces into somebody's business!"
"Professor Jackson mentioned my name when communicating with the bearded man." Harry reasoned her calmly.
"Fine, but what if he meant like as in grade wise. Like how you don't turn in your homework sometimes saying you're stressed out or-or..."
"He said he was watching Harry!" Ron hissed. "As in stalking!"
"And I also don't know what or who 'Iris' is or what 'Camp Half Blood' is." Harry continued, ignoring Hermione's complaints. "Jackson was also talking about waiting for the right time to attack."
"Professor Jackson, Harry!" Hermione exclaimed. "This is just like Professor Snape all over again. We accuse an innocent man and they turn out to be the hero!"
Harry froze a little at the mention of Professor Snape.
"And this is all Lockhart again for you isn't it? You defend a charming Professor and they turn out to be wimps!" Ron said.
Hermione pursed her lips and glared at her friends, "Fine, I'll do some research about the 'clues' you picked up" She turned to face Harry. "But don't blame me if Professor Jackson and Professor Chase finds out that we were digging into their history!"
She stomped off to the girls' dormitory, leaving Harry and Ron discussing the matter further.

At breakfast the next day, Harry saw Hermione carrying thick, heavy books to the table.
"Okay, so" She started. "I haven't found anything, nothing at all I mean, about Camp Half Blood but quite a lot about Iris. She's a minor Greek goddess of Rainbows and a messenger among the gods next to Hermes. She appears in Greek mythology several times to help or carry messages to demigods, half god half human. But otherwise she doesn't take on a very important role."
"What about Chiron, the bearded man?" Harry pressed.
"Oh, yes. Chiron, let's see." Hermione flipped through her pages. "He's also a Greek figure, a centaur more specifically."
"Wait, I thought centaurs were only from the Wizarding world?" Ron asked.
"They originated from Greece though, now listen" Hermione continued. "He's a famous centaur for training many Greek heroes and in the mythology it says that Hercules or Heracules killed his trainer while he was drunk. It is believed that Chiron was sent to the sky to be among the stars by the gods."
"So... Jackson is a crazy guy that is a friend with another crazy guy that believes he is a centaur trainer?" Harry clarified.
"From the information we've got, yes." Hermione sighed and shut her books. "But please don't go around being too obvious"
"'Kay." Ron promised. "And what about the shiny object Harry talked about. The one Jackson threw into the rainbow?"
Hermione sighed again, "I don't know about that"
Looking determined Harry stared at the teacher's table, looking pointedly at Jackson.

History was as boring as ever with Professor Binns mumbling lectures that would make an angry bull sleep.
"And so the famous couple went into war in 1293, killed by-" Professor Binns said but looked at Harry's raised hands.
"Professor, were there any witches or wizards in... Greece? Or mentioned in Greek mythology?" Harry asked uncertainly/
The class bursted into laughter. Professor Binns looked unimpressed.
"There is an ancient legend that Hecate, the goddess of magic, created us witches and wizards but it is a legend."
"The Chamber of Secrets was apparently a legend, until it was opened again" Harry countered.
"Mister Potter, what are you trying to prove?" Professor Binns said lazily.
"Is there a possibility that there are Greek wizards?"
There was silence before Professor Binns answered.
"Yes"

"I went to the library again on break" Hermione said during lunch. "The shiny thing Professor Jackson had with him appears to be a drachma. It connects with Iris. Iris worked for the demigods if she was paid with the Greek coin."
"I have something too" Harry informed her. "Professor Binns told me that there is an ancient legend that magic originated from the Greek goddess Hecate and that there is a possibility of Greek wizards and witches."
"Thee? Eef all mafs fents! (See? It all makes sense!)" Ron said with his mouth full of food.
"I still don't get why a person that seems to be obsessed with Greek Mythology would try and harm you Harry" Hermione said. "It might all be a misunderstanding."
"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling about Professor Jackson." Harry said, trying to avoid Hermione's eyes.
"Oh my gosh, I know right? Professor Jackson radiates this bad feeling!" Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked up and saw a girl with curly brown hair.
"Levana" Harry breathed out, the girl he had met in D.A.D.A stood in front of him. She was as stunning as ever and Harry felt himself slip into the weird feeling Levana gave out again.
Her scent was so sweet, her pale skin matching her rich brown hair.
"Aren't you the girl that absolutely loved Professor Jackson?" Ron asked, his eyes were slightly glazed.
"Not anymore" Levana didn't take her eyes off Harry. "You can't trust Professor Jackson, he is a monster!"
The last words came out of Levana's mouth like a hiss.
"And why is that?" Hermione asked cautiously, noting the look on her boyfriend's face.
"It's none of your-" Levana started but she stopped and stared at something behind Harry, her eyes becoming wide. Harry followed her gaze and looked over his shoulder to see Professor Jackson walking over.
"What are you lots doing?" He asked brightly with his crooked grin. His right hand was gripping a ballpoint pen so hard his knuckles turned white.
"We were talking to-" Harry was about to say that he was having a conversation with Levana when he noticed that the beautiful girl wasn't there anymore. His friends looked equally stunned.
"Okay, well, if you need anything you can always tell me." Professor Jackson smiled again and walked off.
Harry looked over at the teacher's table and saw Professor Chase studying them with her grey eyes. Not wanting to meet her gaze, Harry looked away.
Something was definitely out of place and Harry had a suspicion that he knew what it was.
Or who it was.

Percy's POV (A/N: First 1st person POV!)
Yup, now I knew what kind of monster was lurking around. Target locked. I could tell just by looking at Harry Potter and his friend's reaction.
"It's an Empousa" I whispered to Annabeth who rolled her eyes.
"You don't say Seaweed Brain. Of course it's an Empousa! A well trained one ,too." Annabeth commented. "We'll have to get rid of it before it gets to Potter."
"Why can't we just kill her?" I asked, frowning. "We're gods now aren't we? It'll be easy."
"God and goddess" Annabeth corrected me. "And we can't just kill the Empousa, the Headmistress will be suspicious when her 'student' just goes missing. We'll kill her secretly and then use the Mist to cover it up. But remember that we can't rely on it too much since we're new at using it."
"Right. Got it." I gave her a thumbs up and she smacked my forearm lightly.
"Seaweed Brain."
"Wise Girl"
I stood up and planted a kiss on her forehead before marching off to my classroom.
Aaaaaaaaand I forgot my wand.
