Sorry it took so long. And I would like to say, THANK YOU! We hit the 100 review mark! :P And there were more than 40 reviews for the previous chapter. So, this wasn't a chapter I could make 3,000 words. Sorry, just keep in mind I owe you a 3,000 word chapter lol. I'll probably make it when the action happens, you know? I'm just stalling before all the war and everything lol.

Ron looked furiously at Percy and Harry. "You guys are eating eclairs!" he exclaimed," my eclairs!"

He looked at Percy, who was eating blue ones.

"And you ruined some, by making them blue!" he said furiously.

Percy tossed one to him. "I wouldn't insult one, if you've never tried one." He told Ron.

Ron, looking angry, popped it into his mouth anyway, his expression quickly changed into one of bliss.

"As good as the eclairs may be. What are you guys doing here?" Harry asked.

Nico raised an eyebrow, "We could ask the same question to you."

"Well, we've known about this place for years." Ron told them, smugly.

Nico smirked, and popped three eclairs into his mouth, savoring each bite. "Mmmm," Nico said, chewing on them, "I love these."

He then looked at the plates in mock despair, "Oh no! Percy and I finished all the eclairs! No more eclairs for Hogwarts!" he said.

Percy laughed, while Harry and Hermone had to hold Ron back from trying to strangle Nico.

"We were just joking, kid, calm down." Percy told him.

"Kid?" Hermione exclaimed incredulously, "We are not kids. I'm sure we're older than him!" she said, pointing to Nico.

Nico grinned, "I'm the oldest person in Hogwarts, Dumbledore included."

Ron stopped struggling and gaped at him. "You slug, you're 13!" he said angrily.

Percy's eyes narrowed, "Trust me. You haven't seen what he and I have seen."

Harry looked into his sea green eyes, and he saw danger.

Harry put an arm protectively over Ron and Hermione. He had seen what Percy and Nico had done to Malfoy and his croonies.

"We're not here for any trouble." Harry put in, quickly. "We just came to the kitchens to enjoy some food. Now, what're you here for?"

Percy shrugged, "Found it on accident, now we're here for food.

"We come here to talk about … stuff." Harry said.

"Stuff?" Nico asked, "And what stuff were you planning on talking about today?"

Nico's dark eyes locked with Harry's green ones.

"Perhaps," Nico said, "about the stuff from the Headmaster's office?" he asked.

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, then back at Nico and Percy, and nodded his head quickly, "But-"

Percy raised a hand, "What was said in the office. Anything about us. Stays in the office." Percy told him, " The rest, all about that horcrux stuff can leave it. But any, peculiar qualities about us mentioned stays in the office. You hear me?"

Harry gulped, and nodded.

Percy's sea green eyes quickly returned to its relaxed and mischevious state. "Well, we're going now." He turned elves, "Thanks, Dobby and the rest of the crew!" he said, waving his hand at them.

"Yeah, that turkey was awesome." Nico said, grinning.

As soon as the door shut behind them, Ron and Hemione bombarded Harry with questions.

"What was he talking about?"

"What did he mean, about them?"

Harry closed his eyes, and Ron and Hermione quieted down. "Alright." Harry said,

"Now, I'm going to say one thing at a time. So, as soon as I went in there, Percy and Nico were already sitting there. And they knew about the horcruxes. And then Dumbledore was saying something about them revealing who they are to me, soon."

"Did you ask Dumbledore anything else?" Hermione asked.

Harry nodded, "He asked for a private word with me. And erm, he said that they aren't traitors, they were here to protect me." He glanced around, as if making sure Nico and Percy didn't hear him.

…

"Nico, what were you gonna say to me?" Percy asked.

They were sitting by the lake, talking to each other.

Nico stared at his reflection. "Harry Potter." He said slowly. He looked at Percy, "I don't know, whenever I'm around him, I feel as if a dark force is inside him."

Nico paused, looking around, "As if he's a horcrux." He said in a low voice, looking back at Percy.

Percy frowned, "What? No way."

Nico shook his head, "I just have this feeling. I'm the son of Hades, dude. Maybe he was an accident or something. Fine, he might not be a horcrux, but he has some dark force inside him. That isn't a part of his whole body. It gives him some dark abilities, really rare ones."

Percy stared at the lake, " So, if you can sense horcruxes, can't we go out and destroy them?"

Nico shook his head, yet again, "Nope. It's not that easy. This is Harry's job. I can feel it, he was meant to destroy Voldemort. We have to tell him our identities first. Sure, I can destroy some horcruxes, and they are dangerous, probably with traps, but this is what Harry Potter was meant to do. We have to reveal our identities to him, soon." Nico told Percy.

Percy nodded, "Sometime this week, when we get a chance."

"Alright." Nico replied, closing his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt a splash of water on him.

He opened his eyes, and looked at Percy, who had an innocent look on his face.

Nico smirked, "Oh, it's on, home boy."

Percy frowned, "Dude, you know water can't-"

All of a sudden he felt chills go down on his back, and saw only dark.

He shuddered until the shadows subsided, and saw Nico smirking at him.

Percy narrowed his eyes, "You know? We haven't really sparred in a while. And I want to kick your butt, Death Boy."

"It's on, Kelp Head." Nico replied, smiling smugly at him.

Percy thought for a moment, "But where can we find a place to train? I mean, I haven't trained in ages."

Nico shrugged, "Let's ask Dumbledore, he's a demigod."

Percy stood up, "That'll be after the worst class of the year." He said as he checked the time.

"What class?" Nico asked, curiously.

Percy smirked, "Defense against you."

Sorry for the short chapter. Please review, I promise the 3,000 word chapter will come.
