Hey people! I'm pretty sure this is the most important chapter in this story. So... hooray! I just want to say thanks to all my readers like always. And just saying, it took all of my strength not to make Fred and George demigods. Mainly because I wanted their dad to be Hermes, until I realized Molly would have to cheat to do that, and she doesn't seem like a cheater.

Chapter 7

Nico's POV

Our next class was Defense Against the Dark Arts, being a Monday, and Percy wouldn't shut up about Twister. I regret ever making that comment in Divination. So, as Umbridge tried to get the class's attention, we all played Twister on an old tablecloth that Annabeth had painted dots on.

"You know you want to fail, Nico!" Percy panted as he struggled to stay up.

"Please, failing is not in my vocabulary!" I replied breathlessly. I was straining to keep up with my limbs all twisted around.

"Shut up, you two!" Annabeth was in a bad mood because she had 'accidentally' fallen on Percy, but he had managed to stay up, while she had been eliminated.

Thalia twirled the makeshift spinner, a smirk on her face. "Right foot on green," she called.

"Thank the gods!" I shouted, feeling my own weight lifted off my shoulders after I made the move. Percy wasn't so lucky. His whole body was slanted to the opposite side of the green, and he was struggling enough as it was. He couldn't make it.

"Fall, fall, fall, fall!" we all shouted. Percy's face was beaded with sweat. He was shaking as he tried to maneuver his leg over to the green dot.

"I'm gonna make it," he cried, just as he slipped on his sweaty left palm and crashed to the floor.

"Noooo," he moaned softly just as I cheered, "Yes!"

"Who's the champion, who's the champion," I chanted while I jokingly punched Percy. "Meeeeeee!" He finally sat up.

"While that may be true," Percy said, "Annabeth is the true loser. And a bet is a bet." Annabeth frowned.

"I should have never agreed to this," she muttered as she grabbed the jar of bubotuber pus I had nicked from Madam Pomfrey. She opened the jar and scooped up a handful of the goo. She slowly raised it to her face, and then...

Smack. The bubotuber pus that was supposed to go into Annabeth's face was sent flying over into Umbridge's open mouth.

"You'll never catch me alive, suckers!" Annabeth screeched as we attempted to catch her. Jumping over desk after desk, I made a mad grab toward Annabeth's shirt. I missed.

"Your powers, you idiot!" Thalia shrieked. "I can't use mine, I'll barbecue her!"

The class looked in wonder as Percy began throwing Umbridge's precious kitty paintings towards Annabeth. I summoned all the shadows in the room, and focused them to make a wall right in front of Annabeth. Success, I thought as I heard Annabeth knock into the wall of shadows and mutter, "Ow."

Thalia scraped off some of the pus that was on the walls into her hands and dropped it into Annabeth's face. "I never knew you were such a cheater, Annabeth," she said teasingly.

Annabeth sat up, her face cheerful despite the pus all over it. "Well, that was a very intense game of Twister. I had to take desperate measures." She began to wipe off her face with a towel Percy tossed her.

"Even more intense than 'Don't Let the Balloon Touch the Floor,'" Percy said with a grin.

"Nothing is more intense than 'Don't Let the Balloon Touch the Floor,'" I corrected. We all laughed until we heard Umbridge begin to shout.

"How dare you little brats do this? If I was headmaster, I would have you all submitted to the Dementors Kiss! Ugly little rodents! 1,000 points from Gryffindor!" Umbridge shouted.

Thalia boomed, "I, THALIA GRACE, DAUGHTER OF ZEUS COMMAND FOR GRYFFINDOR TO GAIN 10,000 POINTS FOR PUTTING UP WITH UMBRIDGE THE UMBITCH FOR TWO WEEKS." Although nobody noticed it yet, the Gryffindor house points hourglass was about to crack from the pressure it was enduring in the Great hall.

"Oh, and I'd like to try to see you sentence the kiss to us," I couldn't help but add. "I could call them up right now and have them have it administered to you." Although Umbridge gave a little tinkering laugh, like, Silly child, if only you knew, she still paled significantly.

"How did you summon those shadows," Hermione called from her seat. "That seemed like Dark Magic."

"A little thing I learned called 'none of your business,'" I answered. Hermione huffed. Then the bell rang, and Percy whooped.

"Time to share our big news!" he called, and we all ran to the dining hall. Time to tell our big secret.

As Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and I stood on the stage-like thing, everyone was silent. I was picking my fingernails with a knife to let the school know who's boss. Everyone, even the Professors, stared at us.

"So, why did you request to make an announcement," Dumbledore asked quietly. I think he was remembering that dagger I had at his chest.

The other demigods looked at me, so I began talking.

"Before I tell you guys what's up, I just want to say that we will not kill anybody here unless they try to kill us." I gave an icy smile to Dumbledore, who had attempted to use the Killing Curse on me as a last resort. "Okay, anyway, so the reason I'm here isn't to learn all this wizard crap. You see, I'm not really a wizard. Anyone know about the Greek Gods?" A few people raised their hands. Pathetic. "Well, yeah, they're real. And we are the sons and daughters of them, specifically known as demigods, or half-bloods. And don't go all, 'you're a nutter' on me, because if wizards can be real, why not demigods?"

Silence filled the air until Hermione (how did I guess) said, "But there is no proof! At least, if we had wanted to, we could show you examples of wizarding technology!"

I couldn't help but smile. "Take it away, Percy."

"Who in here doesn't believe us?" he called. Everyone in the Hall raised their hands except Neville and Luna. Percy flicked his wrist, and the water in everyone's goblets who didn't believe was spurted into their faces.

Next, Thalia gave an electric charge to Umbridge. "Who's taking points now?" she had said with a smirk as Umbridge's hair began to sizzle.

Annabeth didn't have a special ability, so I took my turn. I shoved my sword into the ground, and summoned two skeleton warriors to shove Snape's head into his roast beef. "Oops, sorry. Told them to do that to stubborn, ugly grease-balls," I told him. Then I made the shadows wrap around Ron's neck for a moment, choking him, until I released it. "That's for what I couldn't do with the knife," I hissed at him.

The whole school was scared now. There was no denying it. Mcgonagall stood up for a moment and said, "Let's say you are demigods. Who are your godly parents, then?"

Annabeth went first this time. "Athena, goddess of wisdom. I can kill you more than a hundred different ways with a knife."

"Poseidon, god of the sea. Try to drown me, and I'll drown you."

"Zeus, god of the sky. Get on my bad side and I'll electrocute you."

"Hades, god of the Underworld. I'd like to see you wimps enter the Fields of Punishment."

Dumbledore was looking at us warily. "I have never heard of demigods that weren't myths. If those 'powers' of yours were real, then why haven't I come across one of you before now?"

I snorted. "Well, it's not like we're gonna go around showing it off. Besides, you probably have seen an example of Greek mythology before. The Mist is what keeps you from seeing us when we don't want to be seen. If we wanted, we could just tell you guys this never happened, and go on just as before. But I'm only here to find more demigods." I paused for a moment. Then I shouted to the ceiling:

"Hey! Gods of Olympus! Now would be a good time to claim anybody who's a demigod!"

Pure silence. I heard someone mutter, "He's mental." I didn't know what the Hades was going on until I heard thunder boom, and signs appeared over four people's heads in the large room.

Neville squeaked in terror and tried to run away, but the large, golden cornucopia sent by Demeter followed him wherever he went. Luna simply looked above herself at the glowing owl of Athena, eyes dreamy as ever. Lavender Brown was glowing pink for a moment, until her uniform was exchanged for a light pink dress, her face was given a makeover, and her hair was given volume like a supermodel's. A light pink dove hung over her head, the sign of Aphrodite. Lastly, Lee Jordan, best friend of the Weasley twins, was staring in shock at the blue caduceus of Hermes above him, floating as if it was a perfectly normal thing.

Just then, Annabeth did a very un-Annabeth-like thing. She squealed and went over to hug Luna.

"I knew I'd have a sister here, I just knew it!" Luna was smiling as Annabeth roped her arms around her. Immediately, all the kids surrounding her scooted away, out of either fear or disgust. Percy was grinning.

"Looks like we have a decent number of demigods here," he said aloud.

"Thank the gods we were allowed to give out our identities, I never would have guessed Lee Jordan was one," I said.

Annabeth must have realized what she had done, because her face was a dark red color and she was giving glares to everyone who looked at her. Thalia was trying to calm down Neville, and explain what was going on. All the teachers looked suspicious.

Is it just me, or is this more than your average school drama?

Did you like it? I kind of feel like I screwed the whole 'revelation' scene up. Oh well. Anyway, do you like my choices of demigods? I feel like Lee would make a pretty neat Hermes kid. Thanks for reading, and if you have any ideas, feel free to suggest in the reviews!
