III. Hermione (part 2)

Suddenly, Bellatrix Lestrange's mouth opened and spoke in a voice not like hers, it's the Oracle's: You shall continue the quest vested upon you.

Beside her stood Lucius Malfoy who immediately spoke with the same raspy voice Bellatrix used: You shall find answers in a world unknown too.

Far away from the two spoke Pius Thicknesse, pointing his wand still: You shall dwell on within to keep each alive.

And to the three's own astonishment came forth Voldemort who pointed his wand directly to Harry's face and said: And strengthen the bond to further survive.

After this, a blinding light flashed at the tip of the very wand the Dark Lord is holding and all is gone.

The three of them stared at each other's faces, still in shock. The image is an illusion but then the very thought of it is indeed startling for them, specially for Hermione. Whilst the other two are comprehending what they just heard, she immediately recovered and directed her attention to the Oracle which is now silent as dead, literally speaking.

"Hey wait! How do you reckon can we get out from here?" she asked but dead silence filled the room.

After a while, Harry and Ron recovered too and stood. They were about to exit the attic when they thought they heard a hiss which resulted to them abruptly directing their attention to the room behind. But as expected, not a single trace of where the hiss came from is seen. From the Oracle, maybe? They brushed off the thought as they came down the stairs looking for Chiron.

In the opening of the woods, they found the centaur and the other 'demigods' as Hermione says, talking with some matter.

"What d'you mean she's not here?" Percy asked to the centaur towering in front of him.

"She still have a life you know." Annabeth said in his side. He responded with a gaze.

"So they asked the past Oracle? Is that even possible?" the dude who pointed Harry's forehead asked.

Ron, being the wizard he is, accidentally stumbled to a rock in front of him resulting to getting the attention of the lot to direct to them.

"Well, there they are. Ask them." Chiron finally spoken. The three were followed with gazes from the 5 half-bloods wanting an answer.

"What happened? Did the freaky Oracle speak?" Percy asked with an undestinctable tone of excitement and disgust in his voice like he had some kind of not-so-good past with the thing in the attic.

"It most certainly did." Ron responded.

"Will you mind mentioning what she said?" Chiron asked the wizards.

"You mean 'IT'? Chiron, it's not even human." Percy added.

The three nervously glanced at each other raising a question. They decided Hermione would be the best choice to deliver what IT said.

"After letting out a disgusting green mist," Hermione paused hearing Annabeth say With that I agree. "It said we shall continue what we're doing in an unknown world which I reckon is THIS world." she continued.

"Is that all?" Leo asked them.

"Actually, no. It said we should strengthen some bond to survive." Hermione turned to him.

"Can you deliver the exact words she said? Sometimes it has diverse meanings." Chiron added and Hermione willingly agreed.

"You shall continue the quest vested upon you. You shall find answers in a world unknown too. You shall dwell on within to keep each alive and strengthen the bond to further survive.." she said with an unwavering voice.

"You have a quest? From where?" Piper followed.

"I reckon this will not be your problem anymore, lady. I figured we caused enough for one night considering your Administrator here." Hermione politely said with a statement that can if said by anyone else would sound rude but with her, it's not. Piper then thought if she too can charmspeak or she's just good in delivering statements.

"Guys," Annabeth interrupted, all eyes turned to her and Percy who came from the far side of the woods as everybody else are asking the three. "Will you excuse me and Chiron first?" she said with a smile in Percy's direction.

Chiron seemed to get the thought and excused himself too with, "The four of you, guide Harry, Ron, and Hermione around the Camp. Be sure to explain things to them, I will come back later," and they descended again to the far side of the woods.

Note: I can't be so cruel. So... what do you guys think?

Added note: Should I really write these notes checking on you, guys? Is it okay or is it 'anti-climactic'?

And another thing: I will update.. well, I don't really know. Okay. Bye. Love you, guys.
