Chapter 7: I make a new friend, a very large friend.
Harry's pov.
As we were on our way again I sat in the far corner away from everbody. What Enyo had told me about Qurrell I couldn't get out of my head. Had I really killed him without knowing it. I was also thinking about what she said about people dropping around me like flies. She was right, people always did seem to either get hurt or die when ever I'm around. So maybe I would just disapear after this quest. For nobody else will die on my acount. I'll go look for Voldemort's horcrux myself.
I sighed, and once again Sirus was giving me a worried look. Maybe I shouldn't let what Eyno said get to me. Everthing came down to Voldemort, so once he was gone maybe my friends will stop dieing around me. I pulled my knees up to my chest and put my head on my knees. I could ignore what she said about everone dropping like flies around me, but I couldn't get what she said about Quirrell out of my head. Did I really kill a guy, I didn't like the thought one bit. Yeah Quirrell might have been working for Voldemort, but it was still someone's life.
I couldn't even bring myself to look at the others. I was nothing but a murderer, I was no better then Voldemort. I closed my eyes, I could hear Clarisse, and Nico talking. Nico was worried about me, and Clarisse thought I was being a baby, and needed to get over it. I tried to shut out their voices, the last thing I heard before falling asleep was Tyson telling Clarisse to leave his cousin alone.
When I dreamed this time I didn't dream of Piper or what was happening at Azkaban, instead I dreamed I was on Olympus the only ones there was the big three: Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. They were arguing with each other on raither or not to let me use some powerfull sword of Hades to destory the Horcruxes, and take out Voldemort. Hades wanted to let me use it, and Zeus said he didn't trust me, I was powerful enough without having the sword, and Poseidon was just worried it might somehow fall into the wrong hands. I had no idea what they were talking about, but if this sword could kill Voldemort I hope they let me use it.
My dream changed. I was now watching Voldemort reading some book. Which was weird I never took him as the reading type, but before I could see what book he was reading thunder roared waking me up. My eyes flew open and the first thing I noticed was the sky had turned almost black with storm clouds. I got up, and walked over to the other two, as the wind was blowing real bad.
"What's going on?" I asked. "When did this strom get here?"
"It just rolled in." Nico said. "Do you notice something weird about it." he pointed up at the sky, just as lighting flashed, then down at the ocean. I got what he was talking about immediately.
"The ocean is still calm." I said. "It's barley moving at all." I watched as the sea just moved in little tiny waves, even though the wind was blowing hard, and rain was begining to fall.
"This strom is coming from Zeus." Nico said. "And Poseidon is keeping the ocean calm." He now had to yell over the sound of the wind. Which was now blowing so heavey the boat was lifting out of the ocean.
"What the boodly hell is wrong with Zeus now." I cried, which wasn't a smart thing to do with Zeus already angry about something. But I couldn't help it, Zeus was the king of gods he shouldn't act like such a big baby sometimes.
There was a loud crake of thunder, and more lighting flashed, rain was now puring down, soaking us all. Sirius was howling and braking.
"I guess Hades or Poseidon said something to tick him off." I said. "When I fell alseep, I had a dream the three of them was on Olympus arguing over rather or not to let me use some sword of Hades to kill Voldemort with."
"But my father dosen't have a sword, he uses a staff," Nico shouted. Then he looked at me wide eyed like he just thought of something; the wind was blowing his shaggy hair in his face. "Unless...no they can't mean that sword."
"What sword?" I demanded. But Nico didn't get to answer me, at that moment thunder boomed and lighting came down hitting the boat, then the wind blow real hard and I went flying out of the boat.
The next thing I knew I was waking up to someone wipping my forehead with a wet cloth. I opened my eyes to see a pretty women who looked about to be in her twenties. And I was laying down on the softest bed I had ever laid on, and my head was on the softest pollow I had ever laid on. The light in the room was turned on and when I opened my eyes I was in what looked to be a hospital room.
"Thats it Harry," The women said in a soft voice. "Wake up now." I finaly turned my eyes to the women wipping my forehead. She was one of the most beautful woman I had ever seen, with waist long black hair, she had in a braid pulled around so it was falling down her front. Her eyes was a sky blue; I've seen eyes like that on only four other people: Jason, Zeus, Thalia and the sixteen year old Voldemort that came out of the diary.
"Where am I?" I said. "Who are you? What about my friends, and my dog, have you seen my dog?" I sat up real fast, which wasn't a good idea, becaues it made my head spin.
"Just calm down." The women said. She wore a simple white dress and shoes. She was tall, and thin. And when I looked at her closer, I noticed she favored both Zeus, and Hera. She had Zeus's eyes and nose, but Hera's high cheek bones, and mouth. "Most of your friends are out front, but the daughter of Ares is being tended to, she got hurt, and your dog is there". I looked over to where she pointed; which was on the other side of the bed, and saw Sirius still in dog form sitting in a chair watching me, when he saw me looking he braked.
"Your friend Clarisse is hurt pretty bad, she's in another room resting right now, not even ambrosia and nectar seem to be helping her." She said. "But the ones I have working for me is not use to treating posion wounds, they are only use to things that come with child birth."
"But everone else is just fine." I asked. She nodded and stood up she had been sitting on the edge of the bed. "We need to leave, I still have to save Piper."
"That's going to be hard to do." She said.
"Why?" I demanded. She motioned for me to follow her. I got up and did, Sirius right behind me. We walked down a long hall where we past rooms with all kinds of creatures in it like: Naiads, Dryads and harpies, and some I couldn't even tell you what they were, some were sleeping, some held babies in their arms, and I even saw some dryads dress like nures helping a female centaur give birth to a baby centaur, I looked away from that room the moment I looked that way feeling sick.
The women opened another door and I walked into what looked like a waiting room. She then led us over to a big window. I looked, Right outside; where we was, the country road wound north and south, grassy hills stretched to the horizon, and dozens of trees surrounded us. But it was what she was showing me that made my jaw drop. The whole ravine was full of monsters-column after column marching north. I watched in disbelief as several dozens: earthborn, inferi, cyclopes, dementors, and acromantula. A mixer of both magical, and mythologcal monsters marched by. Followed by a giant with snake hair, and carring a large Trident. I had a sicking feeling at where they were heading. And a little far away from the end of the line was a large dragon looking snake thing. It had no wings and didn't blow fire like a dragon.
"Where is everone?" I asked. As lighting flashed across the sky.
"They were in here they most be in the back cheeking on Clarisse." The women said.
"If I had my bag, I got some gorgons blood in it." I said. "What is that" I pointed at the dragon thing.
"That's a draken, I don't think it's with them tough." The women answered. "It's almost like a dragon, but it's much bigger, and older, some can fly or blow fire, but that one is not one that can. It's not much more then a very large nasty snake."
"Really," I said thinking hard. "And it's not with them, it looks to be heading this way."
"Whatever you're thinking I wouldn't do it." She said. "Even if it's not with them, it's still a monster. And is poisonous, and eyes can paralyze you."
"What happen to Clarisse anyway." I asked. Looking away from the window to the women.
"She got bit by one of the acromantula." She answered. I winched then went over and sat in a chair and put my head in my hands. Enyo was right everone I get near gets hurt. And if Clarisse dies it'll be one more person who died while I was near.
"Do not listen to our sister, Harry." The women said like she had read my mind. "Clarisse will most likely die, but it's not your fault." Sirius wined in agreement.
"Who are you?" I asked. She smiled. And sat down in the chair next to me.
"I'm Eilethyia, goddess of child birth." She reached over and laid her hand on mine. "Harry, what happen to Clairsse is not your fault.
"Is my bag in here?" I asked. "I could save Clarisse, I don't want someone else to die around me. It's like I'm curse or something."
"Sorry, cousin." Tyson said As he came into the room. "I dropped your bag carring Clarisse, it is outside with the monsters."
"It's okay Ty," I said useing the nickname Piper had given him. "You didn't mean to." I stood up, and went over to the door. Just as Nico walked into the room and came over and stood by me. Rain was coming down hard and it was thundering, and lighting was flashing.
"Where are we anyway?" I asked looking around. The room looked like a doctor office waiting room, with magazine racks, and paplets about child birth, and on being a good mother, and carring childern. chairs surrouned the walls and even in front of the windows. And right next to the the door we had came through was what looked like a nures area, a little room with a counter, and filing cabinets and a computer. Sitting behind the counter was a girl that was green with long green hair. She was going through a file and typing things into the computer . I hadn't notice her before.
"Your are at my mid-wife birthing center." Eileithyia said. "I don't only help humans in child birth, I help all mothers. And babies. Sometimes if a mother of a demigod is having trouble giving birth she turns up here, and some of the goddess come here to give birth to their demigod childern."
"Oh," I said. The green girl looked up saw me watching her and her cheeks turned a darker green, then turned away and giggled.
"That's Maple." Eieithyia said. "She works behind the counter cheeking in the new mothers and she lives in the big maple tree out front. "Maple, this is my brother Harry." Eieithyia then said to her. Maple looked up at me her cheeks turned a darker green again.
"Hello," She said then giggled again and went back to her work.
Just as the door opened a girl that looked like a teenager, but with long seaweed looking hair, and ocean blue eyes walked out still holding the door open. She had on jeans and a blue t-shirt that read. Eileithyia's birthing center across in pink letters.
"My lady, the demigod girl isn't doing so well." She said. "I was sent to get you."
"I'll go cheek on her." Eileithyia said then followed the girl to the back.
"Is Clarisse really that bad?" I asked. Maple looked at me.
"I'm sorry, but yeah." She said."I don't think she's going to last much longer from what I've seen." I sighed. I may hate Clarisse, but I don't want her to die. I looked back out and watched the monsters march. I needed to get to my bag. I needed the gorgan's blood. One of the people Enyo, was talking about most of been Clarisse.
"Don't worry," Nico said. "Maybe she'll somehow pull through."
"Maybe." I said.
"Harry, did you see the nursery." Tyson asked. "It's full of babies, I saw a cyclops baby, and the nures let me hold this baby satyr, but then I sneezed and she yelled for me to get out before I made all the babies sick."
"Thats nice." I said as I turned back to looking out the door. "What about you Nico did you hold a baby?"
He gave me a look that said what do you think. Which I guess was a no, Nico didn't seem like the type who would like to be around crying babies, human or monster. I didn't want to go look at a bunch of monster babies either, but being here I couldn't help but picture Piper holding a baby in her arms. A little girl with her hair and my eyes. I smiled at the thought. Then shook it out of my head. I had other things to worry about right now.
The line of monsters had thined some, most had already walked by, and the ones by the giant was pretty far down the line.
I made up my mind right then and there. "Maple, be truthful, there is no chance Clarisse is going to make it is there?"
Maple shook her head. "Sorry, but from what I've seen. No and we don't really know how to tend to her, we've been given her nector and ambrosia, but none of that is working the spider bit was poisonous and she has a high fever."
I nodded my head and checked my pockets. Damn my wand wasn't in it. I most of lost it. The only thing I had was Piper's knife, it'll just have to do. I couldn't just let Clarisse die, she may not be my friend, but it's not right.
"Where is my wand?" I asked. Checking my pockets over again.
"I put it in your bag when you dropped it when Eileithyia and Nico was helping you up here." Tyson said. I sighed and nodded. My eyes then fell on Nico's sword hanging from his side. I know only a child of Hades could use it, but I wondered if that counts for anyone with Hades' blood. I just have to find away to go out without Sirius stopping me.
"How long dose she have?" I asked.
"I don't really know about these kind of things." Maple said. "Maybe ten mintues, maybe an hour. Even a day, I don't know."
I nodded. It should give me enough time to grab my bag and back.
"Hey, Tyson where about did you drop my bag?" I asked.
"Across the road, just down the little hill." Tyson answered. I looked and was glad to see there was a bunch of trees around that way, and a lot of shadows I could hide in.
I watched the monsters pass, Sirius had come to stand by me, and watch. I had to make my move now if I was going to. I knelt down and patted Sirius's head, as I did so I whispered. "Stupify". And Sirius dropped like he had been hit over the head; before any of my friends could ask what was going on. I grabbed Nico's sword, and ran right out to the monsters.
Well, not really. I did run out of the center, and stopped and hide behind Maple's tree, and watched, waiting for my next move. I gripped the handle of Nico's sword, and ran over to the next tree. I watched as earthborns walked by just inches from me. Then one stopped and sniffed the air then turned toward me.
"Yay-son." It said. Walking around the tree, I waited into it was right in front of me, then stabbed it in the chest with Nico's sword. It crumbled to dust, but started reforming immdendlty, so I took off, trying to hide in the shadows as I ran past a few spiders. Then got down behind a big rock, as a large line of monsters was now passing, I prayed to the gods, that I wouldn't be seen as the monsters marched past. A crake of thunder made me jump a little.
A few of them past, it was pretty dark out, and raining real hard. So I was able to hide in the shadows, as I ran by. I was wondering what stopped them from smelling me, I thought maybe the storm and rain. but then as I had almost made it across the road. Then stopped behind another tree. A few of them stopped and sniffed.
"I smell demigod?" I heard a cyclops say. "A familiar demigod." I looked around the tree a little. My heart nearly stopped when I saw what cyclopes it was. It was the same cyclopes that: Jason, Leo, Piper, and I fought last year on our quest. The mother cycolps and her two sons.
"I smell Hera." one said. "I smell Hera's son, he is near."
"Your nose is broke." His brother said. "I smell noth...wait a mintue I do smell the son of Hera." I had to duck down to stop him from beeing seen as his eyes looked toward me. " I know he's smell anywhere, he smells like Hera, magic and death all togather." He took a step my way. His brother behind him, but to my relief their mother grabed them.
"You smell nothing the son of Hera is on a quset, so it will be easy to pick off his friends." Their mother said, "and destroy his home while he his not their." She then yelled. "Here that Jason, Leo, Piper we are coming to get you and destroy you, then hunt down Harry and destory him too." They then marched on yelling insults about me and my friends. I waited into they were out of sight before I took of running again.
When I made it to the other side and lighting flashed I saw our boat had been blasted to nothing but fire wood. We would have to find another way to Azkaban.
I saw my bag laying on the ground and went for it, but when I got out from behind the tree, I had hide behind after I ran across the road. I found myself surrounded by inferi. Four of them all around me.
"Okay, this is not good." I said out loud. I rasied Nico's sword very slowly, then stabed the one right in front of me, he brust into black dust, I then swung around real fast and put Nico's sword threw the one behind me, as I pulled Piper's dagger out and threw it at the one to my right, then held out my hand and let magic out of my palm knocking the one on my left out of sight. I then summoned Piper's dagger back to me, cought it in my hand, and took off running. I sliped a little on some mud and feel down to one knee, but jumped up just as fast and ran on.
Finaly I got to my bag, picked it up, got my wand out of it, and stuck it in my back pocket. I didn't have time to look for the gorgon's blood. I needed to get back to the center, so I put my bag over my shoulder and took off back up the hill. I thought I would have it easy now that the monsters had past, but as I got to the top of the hill to go across the road I was stopped in my trackes as suddenly fear came over me. And the air was suddenly freezing even though it was a summer night.
Than I heard Piper's screams in my head, and I dropped Nico's sword, and fell to my knees. A dementor hovering over me. I tried to make my patronus, but couldn't for the sound of Piper's screams.
It lowered it's hood and came closer, I laid there helpless as it opened it's mouth to suck out my soul. It was just inches from my mouth now, and I couldn't move, I couldn't get my hand up to my mouth to cover it. But as the dementor got closer there was a real loud rumbled of thounder and a lighting blot came from the sky and went right though the dementor, and it brust into flames right in front of me.
I laid there in the pouring rain on the ground watching the dementor burn, trying to figure out what just happened, I think Zeus just saved me. I wasn't sure, but it couldn't of been a coincidence. I looked up at the sky as a flash of heat lighting lit it up.
"Thanks," I said up to it, and there was a roar of thunder, I smiled a little to myself, before I stood. And picked up Nico's sword and my bag and countued toward the center.
I got to the road, and once again was stopped in my tracks, but not by a dementor this time; but by what I saw. The center was surronded by acromantula. I had a sudden flash back of the forbidden forst at Hogwarts. I sure could use the Weasley's car now.
A couple of them turned and headed my way and a backed up real slow. gripping Nico's sword. Thunder roared and lighting flashed, as rain came down harder, making it hard to see.
Then one jumped at me, I held up Nico's sword and put it right through it. It bust into dust right over my head, but luckley the rain washed any that got on me off. Then another jumped and I stabed it, but stumbled and fall dropping Nico's sword; it slide across the concrete out of reach. But I still had Piper's dagger and pulled it out, but as I rasied it up the spider brust into dust without me touching it. And there behind it stood Tyson.
"Nobody hurts my little cousin." Tyson said. And I stared up at him holding up a large stick. He then hit the other two with it and they turned to dust. And without a word he lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder and then picked up Nico's sword careful not to touch the blad and handed it to me, then took off running toward the center.
"Tyson, you can put me down." I said.
"No, you will run off again." Tyson said. As he ran through spiders bashing them with his stick. when we got to the door without taking me from his shoulder he opened it and walked on in. Maple (Who had come out from behind her counter) shut the door and locked it as a spider banged up against it. That was when Tyson finaly put me down.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" Sirius yelled coming over to me and making us jump. He had woken while I was outside, and was not in his dog form and looked madder then I had ever seen him. "You just run out there in the middle of hundreds of monsters. For what? I can't believe you did that, and you knocked me out. What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Calm down." I said. "I needed my bag for..."
"I will not calm down." Sirius yelled. I felt someone taken Nico's sword from my hand, and looked to see it was Nico himself, he glared at me with such an evil glare that I flinced a little.
"Do you know how dangerous it was for you to take my sword?" He asked in a low quite voice. "What if just having Hades' blood was not enough, and you had accidentaly cut yourself. And I couldn't come out and help you becaues you took my only weapon, without asking." Nico took a breath. "And way the hell didn't you tell me Padfoot was Sirius? One mintue a dog is right in front of me the next it's suddenly your dad. He scared me half to death."
"I couldn't tell you becaues he wouldn't of been allowed to come." I said. Sitting in a chair and opening my bag to find the blood. "And I'm sorry I took your sword, but I couldn't go out there with just Piper's dagger, not with that much monsters," I looked at Sirius. "I'm sorry I knocked you out dad, but you wouldn't of let me go. And Clarisse needs the blood or she's going to die."
"You should of talked to us." Tyson said. Just as I found the little vile and pulled it out. "We could of made a plan. Annabeth says, you should always have a plan."
"If anything you could of sent Tyson out." Sirius said. "He could of blended in with the other monsters. They were so many of them, that they wouldn't of noticed an extra cyclops among them."
"I guess." I said. That did make better senes then just me running out there.
Eileithyia came walking back into the room. "Did you get it?" She asked I held the vile of blood up. She took it from my hand.
"Only give her half." I told her, she nodded and went back into the back where Clarisse lays dieing.
A loud noise made me jump we looked out the door to see the large draken had finally made it to us, and the giant spiders were surrounding it wanting to make it their dinner. We all watched in a little amazement and a little horror as they jumped it, but the draken wasn't going down easy it was fighting back with sharp teeth and a spiked tail. And large clawed talons. Tt swatted half of them away and out of sight. But it was too many for the draken soon it would be over run.
"We have to help it." I said. Feeling alittle bad for it, plues if what I was thinking worked. We would need another ride to Azkaban.
"We need to what?" Nico asked. He had a look on his face like he thought I was crazy as lighting lit up the sky for a split second making it better to see the fight.
"My little cousin is right." Tyson said. "We have to help it. It is the right thing to do."
"But that's just a monster." Nico protested. "Why risk your life for it?"
"Nico," I said gently. "If that was Mrs. O'Leary out there would you go help her?"
"Yes, but thats different." Nico said.
"How, Mrs. O'Leary is a monster isn't she? A hellhound." I said. "Why risk your life helping her?"
"For one she's Percy's pet and for two it would be the right thing..." Nico stopped for a second. "Okay...okay I see your point."
I nodded. "So are you two going to help me? If not I'll go by myself."
"I'm going too." Sirius said. "There is no way I'm letting you go out there and face down a bunch of giant spiders without me with you."
I sighed. "Fine, but you taking these." I pulled my wand out of my pocket, twisted it into a sword, then held it out to him. "Don't look at me like that, I have Piper's dagger, and my magic, but you're only use to spells and there isn't many that can kill an acromantula, with me I can let loose just raw magic and blast them away if I had too."
Sirius stared at me a second then took my sword. We then all took a deep breath then walked out of the center and into the strom to save a draken.
I led them right up to the fight holding a tight grip on Piper's dagger. The rain had slowed some, but the wind had picked up. Thunder still boomed over head, and lighting light up the sky ever once in a while.
I went up to the nearest one and stabed it right in the side. It reared back. squealed, then brust into dust. That got the rest of the spiders attention, and they ran for us instead of the draken, and the fight was on.
I stabed whatever spider came at me, jumping on rocks or rolling across the ground, if I had to to get a better shot. I even blasted some with magic sending them hunderds feet away, but they were a lot more then I had first thought. And the ones we killed begain to form back before we could even kill another one.
Not far from my right Tyson was hitting spider after spider over the head with his giant stick, and even knocking some out of sight with his other hand.
Nico was doing a good job of sliceing and stabing them with his sword. For once he hadn't rasied any skeletons to help him. I guess he figured bones was pretty most useless when it came to fighting giant spiders who wanted to make you their dinner.
Sirius was doing a better job then I thought he would with a sword, stabing, spider after spider. He most of had some sword fighting training at some point. But then one knocked him down my sword flew out of his hand. He rolled over on his back just as the spider opened it's mouth to make my dad he's dinner.
I took off running toward him, I jumped on to it's back much like the time I saved Percy from one of thses things, I held on to it's neck with one hand and stabed it through the head with the dagger in my other hand it screamed and brust into dust.
"Thanks Pup," Sirius said getting to his feet. "You okay?" He asked I nodded summoned my sword to me then gave it back to him.
"Be careful." We said to each other at the same time. Then went back to fighting.
At some point a spider had got the better of Nico, but before I could get to him, Clarisse came running out of the center and put her spear right through it's neck cutting off it's head. Then ran over to another one without even saying a word. I guess gorgon blood works fast.
After about two hours we had finally killed all the acromantula and we stood there panting and breathing heavy. Then the dust started spining around going to reforme the spiders again, but suddenly a big gust of wind blow and picked the dust up and carried it all away.
"Just one more monster to kill." Clarisse said and sneered in the at the draken. When a flash of lighting lit up the sky I noticed Clarisse still had a big bit mark on her shoulder that had scared, and she looked weak if you looked into her eyes, and tired, but other then that she seemed okay now. As she took a step toward the draken.
"No, wait," I said to Clarisse as she took another step toward it rasing her spear. "I want to talk to it."
"You want to what?" She demanded, looking at me as if my head had suddenly fell off.
Sirius was also looking me and then it seemed to click it to his head what I was meaning. He didn't know why I wanted to talk to it, but he knew how I was going to try.
"How are you going to talk to a giant snake?" Clarisse demanded.
"Just trust him," Sirius told her forgetting that he was still suppose to be a dog. "He knows what he's doing."
"Who the Hades are you?" Clarsse demanded narrowing her eyes and gripping her spear. I took a step in front of Sirius incase she decided to attack him.
"Clarisse, this is my dad, Sirius Black." I told her.
"You're dad?" She said. "How did he..." She shook her head. "Never mind. Look if you want to try to talk to the thing be my guest, but don't come crying to me when it eats you."
"I'll try to remember that." I said rolling my eyes, then I took a step toward it. It lifted it's head up and looked and me with narrowed eyes. I slowly walked up to it. Held up Piper's dagger then slowly knelt down and sit it on the ground. Slowly straighted back up then walked close enough to it that it could open it's mouth and swollow me whole if it wanted, but instead it just watched me.
Now up close to it I noticed it was a pretty creature, with deep blues eyes, bluesh-green color hide, with purple diemond shape patterns going down it's back, it's tail had silver spikes that looked real sharp, her head and face looked like a dragon with little silver horns sticking up, and it's body looked like a snake into you got to the spiked tail or if you looked at the legs with dragon like taolons with large sharp claws.
We stared at each other for a long moment, and for a while I couldn't bring myself to move or look away. I couldn't even raise my hand if I wanted to. But then it blinked and I was finaly able to move.
I took a deep breath then said in parseltongue. "Are you hurt? and do and do you have a name?"
"What the Hades are you hissing for?" Clarisse demanded.
"He's spaeking in parseltongue" Nico said in a shocked voice.
"What?" Clarisse demanded.
"Just watch" Sirius told her. Clarisse turned to him as if she was going to say something, but then to my shock she blushed as his dark gray eyes looked at her. She scowled then turned the other way. I turned my attention back to the draken.
It had telted it's head, It didn't answer back at first leaving me wondering if it was close enough to a snake to understand, but just as I was lossing hope it answered.
"I am fine thank you for asking." It had a female voice, so it was a girl. I should of figured that, it looked like one. "So, you did come out to save me?"
"Yes," I answered.
"Why?" She asked.
"It was the right thing to do." I said. "You hadn't hurt anyone, and was just passing by, beside I can't stand those spiders."
"Yes, they are quit gross aren't they." She asked. I laughed at that. She just seem so girly to be a hundred foot long snake. Her voice was even a little snobish. She lowed her head to look closer at me then sniffed. "Why would a demigod want to save a monster all they have ever done was try to hunt me down or kill me, if they came across me by accident. I have never once hurt or done anything to be attacked anyone unless someone attacked me first, but yet they want to attack me anyway."
"I'm sorry," I told her. "But it's just in some demigod to attack any monsters they see. It may not seem right, but most monsters will kill us without blinking an eye."
She nodded her giant head. "I guess I see your point, but I hate all that fighting, it's too bloody and gross. And humans do not teast good too tough and not enough meat." I snorted at that. "I am just so sick of being attacked, I was just passing by and those things attacked me. And your friend over there wants to run me through with her spear. But you it was your idea to come out and save me wasn't it, Little talker."
"Yeah," I said. "But a lot of my friends won't judge you it I say you're okay, my friend Percy has a hellhound for a pet."
She snoted at that then said "Draca"
"What?" I demanded.
"You asked my name, it is Draca." She said.
"Oh," I said. "It's pretty."
"You saved my life I guess I do owe you something." Draca said.
"You don't have to but there is a small favor I need." I said.
"It wouldn't have anything to do with killing the daughter of war over there would it?" Draca asked hopefuly. I grined at her. I was beging to really like her.
"As tempting as that is..No." I said.
"Pity," Draca said, sounding desapointed. "But I do own you something name it. "
"Anything?" I asked just to be sure.
"Anything?" She agreed. just what I was hoping for. "I think I have come to like you, Little talker."
"Can you swim?" I asked smiling.
A.N. I have decided not to show Grimmould place, but the next chapter might show what is going on at camp. And they won't be to many chapter left to this story. I'm running out of things to write and I want to get to the Horcrux huntting. So in a chapter or two depending on if I show camp, Harry will finaly reach Azkaban.
