During the previous night's activity, Luna had found herself next to a nineteen-year-old demigod named Nyssa. "Hi, I'm Luna," she said

"I like your gurdyroot earrings, Luna. I'm Nyssa and I'm a daughter of Hephaestus."

"I'm surprised you know what a gurdyroot is. Nobody ever does."

"Nonsense, Luna. Anyone who reads and follows Harry Potter knows exactly what a gurdyroot is."

"So you like the books, then?"

"Oh, I love them. We have a fan club here, you know."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Me, Annabeth, Rachel, Percy, Nico, Jason….It's kind of secret though, so don't go telling anyone, especially Mr. D. He doesn't even know there are books about us, can you imagine?"

Luna laughed. "I think we can beat this obstacle course tomorrow, you know?"

Nyssa smiled. "Sounds like a plan."

"Nico di Angelo!" Leo yelled. It was a bright, sunny day, and Leo wasn't showing it at all. "If you expect to do anything on this obstacle course, you're going to need me. And that won't be happening. You set me up! When I went to get Percy and Jason, they had heard nothing, Death Boy. I guess I know why they call you that, Death Boy. You kill all the dreams. "

Draco Malfoy appeared behind Leo. "Oi, Valdez! It wasn't his fault!"

"And who do you think you are to be interrupting my rant?"

"Leo, that's Draco Malfoy, and I can explain. I had totally forgotten that some of the kids were with me tonight. When Annabeth reminded me, it was already so late. I couldn't do anything, Leo."

"Oh, and so I bet you were up partying all night with the Potter boys too."

"Leo, I'm sor-" But Nico was cut off. Just then, Mrs. O'Leary howled. Nico could see the dragon at the gate thrashing around. Suddenly, Thalia was next to them.

"Nico, Draco, Leo, run! It's them!"

"How did they get in?"

"No time. But Nico….there's a spy!"

Nico heard Draco groan, "This is all my fault!"

And then everything went pitch black.

Nico groped around in the dark and managed to find someone's arm. "Leo?"

"Shh, Death Boy. They're close by. Somebody grabbed Nico's arm and he jumped, but then Thalia said, "Shh, it's only me. I've got Draco, too."

"Peruvian instant darkness powder!" Draco whispered.

Nico heard somebody moving around behind them, then the sound of someone shooting arrows. "Orion!" he gasped.

"If only Will was with us!" Leo groaned. "Then he could bring the light back."

Suddenly there was a crash. "I am Bob. I will help!" There were sounds of a titan throwing a giant across the room. Suddenly, everything was bright again. Nico ran to hug his friend.

"Bob!"

Thalia and Leo were looking nervously at the fallen body of Orion.

"I killed him," said Bob matter-of-factly

Nico was looking around. "Thalia," he whispered, "does a titan count as a god?"

"I don't know. He opposes my goddess, though, so I will be the one to kill him. Wish me luck."

"Thalia, we'll do it together," Leo and Nico said at the same time. Thalia didn't object. She started firing arrows at Orion while Leo threw fire at him. Nico made Orion dizzy. And then he was dead, and there was a collective sigh.

"Where is everyone else?" Draco asked

"In the big house, or in the cabins I guess," Thalia said

"Well, I guess the obstacle course is off the charts for today?" Leo asked, making the others laugh.

"Are we friends again?" Nico asked Leo.

"Of course we are."

Scorpius and Astoria ran up to Draco as he walked in the Big House. "Daddy, thank the gods you're okay!" Scorpius yelled

"Where's Goyle? I had to drag him along, this is all my fault. He's probably the spy."

"Draco, he left camp. Ron sent him back to England because we decided we didn't trust him."

"And you didn't think about how this could make him a dangerous ally? To the other side, I mean? Astoria!"

"Draco, he's in London. Everyone else is in California. We're fine."

"Astoria, sometimes you really don't think, do you!"

"Draco, I'm sorry. There was nothing I could do. He put the cruciatus curse on me!"

"Toria!"

"I knew he was dangerous, and there are all these underaged wizards and young demigods here. I just had to send him away."

"You did the right thing, Toria. I wish you had explained the whole story to me, though, before telling me that he was gone."

"Draco."

"Tori?"

"I'm glad I didn't marry any of the other Slytherins. You're the best, Draco."

When Nico realized that the Hermes cabin was already too full to host some of the children, he offered to take a second night with Rem, James, Scorpius, and Hugo. Connor and Travis Stoll gladly accepted, and Nico was happy too. He knew Hazel was completely fine staying with Annabeth or Piper, and he wanted to spend time with the boys, who were all fairly close to his age. He also suspected that he might learn something about his prophecy with these boys. And he was falling in love with their company.

He was also becoming very close to Draco Malfoy, which surprised him. He was comfortable with the boy who was the complete inverse of himself. Or at least, that was how Nico had always thought of him as he poured over the Harry Potter books again and again, before Draco Malfoy became a real person.

On the other hand, Nico didn't like James too much. He was rowdy and belonged in the Hermes cabin. However, Harry, Draco, and Ron had told Nico that they were a package deal. And he was fine with keeping the boys entertained

That night, however, only James, Rem, and Hugo showed up. James and Rem had mischief in their eyes, Nico could tell.

"My cousins won't tell me what's up," Hugo pouted. He was two years younger than Remus and hated to be left out.

"I told you, Hugo, it's just something we heard on the way here," James was insisting, but as soon as his cousin turned his back to ask Remus, James whispered in Nico's ear, "Scorpius isn't coming tonight. Astoria is having a baby."

Nico gasped. "Come on, guys. We should get over there and congratulate them!"

"What's going on?" Hugo asked again

"James Sirius Potter, why did you keep this from your cousin?"

"He's ten. He doesn't know about these things."

"James! I'll tell your father!"

"Oh yeah? And what can you do about it, Death Boy? You're my age."

"Please, James, I just want to see the baby." Hugo said

Nico grumbled. "I'll tell Harry later. But just so you know, both Harry and I have done much more at fourteen than you ever have. He will believe me, James."

James just grinned.

"Dad, we're pureblood Slytherins. Why are we going against Voldemort?"

"Scorpius, we're not those kind of people. I know you wanted to stay around while Will helps to bring your brother to life, but I'll have to send you to Nico's if you keep acting this way. Not all Slytherins are bad people, Scorpius."

"But Dad, I want to help Uncle Goyle. I want to see him again, Dad."

"When this is all over, Scorpius, you'll realize that you want to stick with us. I promise."

"Why does Mum have to have a baby now?"

"I don't know, Scorpius. Neither of us even knew she was pregnant until last week."

"I don't want my brother to be born in the middle of the woods. I want him to be born at St. Mungo's, like me."

"Scorpius, please don't insult Will's nursing abilities. He helped a nymph birth a baby satyr."

"Who cares? I want my brother to be healthy."

"Draco, Scorpius, he's here!" Astoria cried from the other room

Scorpius ran towards his mother. "Oh mum, he's so pink. I never looked like that when I was born."

"Yes you did, little buddy. I've helped birth enough babies to know," Will said.

Scorpius's face fell. Draco was standing over his newborn son.

"Toria, I have the perfect name for him. Let's call him Severus. Severus Albus Harry Malfoy."

Scorpius could see the name forming on his mother's lips. "Severus Albus Harry Malfoy? Severus Albus Harry….Honey, I think it's perfect! All three men helped you to see the beauty in yourself, they helped you make the right decisions. Draco, it's great."

Draco grinned. "Scorpius, what do you think?"

"What about Severus Gregory Nico Malfoy?"

"Scorpius, no. I'm sorry, but Goyle may be dangerous. Naming our son after him would be dangerous too, a possible invitation for him to come back."

"Okay, Dad. You know what, I think I will go to Nico's tonight. Have fun with Severus whatever-his-middle-names-are Malfoy."

Scorpius stormed out of the room.

A/N: So, what do you think so far? Am I representing the characters accurately? As you can see, Scorpius has a bit of a flair for the dark side, against his father's wishes.

I didn't want to use the canon name for Harry's second son because a) I think Snape was still a git no matter what he ended up doing, and b) I will never get over how Dumbledore treated Harry in the Order of the Phoenix. I was having a bit of writer's block, so I decided that a new Malfoy baby would be a great plot twist and a way to enhance the story (you'll see what I mean in the next few chapters). I guess I need to make some changes on my description. Scorpius and Draco are becoming bigger characters than I thought I'd be making them.
