So I don't no when I'll next be updating so here's an extra long chapter! I'm changing one thing and that's the Defense teacher, because it works better this way. Oh and here's some shocking news, I know what's gonna happen in the next couple of chapters. Anyway enjoy!
"What?" Kayla said again, the sign above her head had faded but glow around her was still present, if a bit dimmer. Everyone in the hall was now looking at her, just as confused as everyone else.
"No one had been claimed by Hecate in very long time, not while they attend Hogwarts at any rate." Dumbledore said, having recovered from his shock at seeing the symbol of Hecate, a symbol he had only ever seen once before in his life, and even then it was only a glimpse. "Demigods, I believe you would be the best people to explain to Miss Fields about demigods that have not yet been said. And Miss Fields from now on you will part of the training classes with the demigods." He said smiling down at her, but behind the smile he was worried.
When the feast was over and the plates had been cleared and last minute announcements had been made and everyone began to move and go to their dorms, Dumbledore made his way to his office immediately. He needed to speak to the gods and Chiron and inform them of what had happened if they did not already know. Dumbledore remember the last time wizards and demigods/gods had worked together, yes it had succeed in defeating the threat, but it also caused bigger problems, such as power.
-Gryffindor common room-
Kayla was pacing up and down in front of the fire at the far end of the room, everyone, demigods and wizards alike watched as she tried to comprehend the fact that she wasn't a witch, but a demigod.
"I don't understand." She said again, not really too anyone, just out loud. "How could my dad do that to my mum?" Percy walked over to her and got her to sit down.
"Listen Kayla, I know this is a bit confusing and a huge shock, trust me we've all been through it. But you don't need to think of it like your dad cheating on your mom. Mortals can't help falling in love with them, even if they love someone else more." Percy said sitting down next to her.
"I don't care. It's still wrong. My mum must have known." She said looking down at the floor.
"Then she must love you just as much as your dad." Annabeth said from across the room, Percy looked over at her and knew she was thinking about how her dad hadn't wanted her around when she was first born and even else when he married. He gave her a smile.
"You should talk to them. Only they can explain everything to you. We can teach you how to defend yourself and use your powers without a wand, but only they can tell you about your past and only you can decide which side you're on." Beckendorf said, him and Silena had been glowing slightly since the gods had arrived earlier and were now begin to go back to normal.
"What do you mean, chose which side I'm on?" She asked looking up and at the demigods. They all looked at each other, silently deciding who would tell her that Hecate had been on Kronos side during the war, it seemed that Katie drew the short straw and walked over to them, pushing Percy out of his seat and sitting next to her.
"Well you see, last year during our war against the Titans, Hecate was on their side. Only a few of her children that she claimed and that were still at camp didn't go over to Kronos side, but most of them did. Everything's fine now though, but. Well the gods think that Kronos is back and well, only you can chose whose side you want to join." Katie said.
"I'm on your side." Kayla said without thinking, but she knew it was true. The demigods smiled, and only then did they realizes that the other members of Gryffindor were still in the room and had been listening to the whole thing.
"We'll have to teach you everything we know, you'll need it. Now you've been claimed when you leave here Monsters will be able to sense you and track you down." Clarisse said, thinking about what the best things to teach her would be, and if Chiron could somehow send over some more weapons and armour.
"Wait monsters?" Harry asked coming into the convocation, him, Ron and Hermione had been listening just like everyone else, but he's been wondering what the demigods had to fight for a while.
"Yeah monsters. Like the ones from the old myths, yes they were kill thousands of years ago, but they re-forum after a period of time and come back. We'll show some of them next time." Travis said.
After a bit more explain to Kayla she went up to her dorm saying that she need to think and get some answers, the demigods nodded, knowing how it felt. A short while later everyone else began going to their dorms ready for some sleep. A few students stayed too finish off homework, but all the demigods filed up the two separate staircases, full ready for some sleep. Tomorrow they would be taking classes with the wizards and learning about magic, and once again teaching them some more defence skills.
The minuet Percy's head his pillow, he was a sleep. But for the first time in months dreams of Kronos found him. Percy stood outside a long grand house, from what he could see with the little light around, in front of him was what looked like a wooden door, and from behind it he could hear voices speaking.
"We must destroy the boy. If we do not take of the boy he will get in the way and will not be easy to kill in full battle armour. If they work together we will have even less hope of winning." Kronos voice reached Percy's ears; he could almost see the gold eyes looking at the person he was addressing. But that couldn't be possible; he wasn't men't to be gone. Destroyed into a pile of ash.
"You worry about a boy, who had already destroyed you once; you fear he will do it again?" A second voice hissed, Percy felt a chill go down his spine, he got closer to the house and looking in through a lower window, Kronos was stood at one end of a long wooden table, while a man as pale was paper with snake like features sat in a chair at the other, along each side of the table people sat dressed in black robes. That had to be Voldemort and his followers, what were they called? Oh yeah Death Eaters. Percy thought to himself.
"I fear who and what should be feared, a son of anyone of the 'big three' as they say is dangerous, you would do well to fear him and anyone else who works with him and against us. Including Harry Potter. For I am not the one who was destroyed by a mere infant." Kronos growled.
The look still didn't look right on Luke's face and Percy had to keep reminding himself that Luke was gone, and this time he wasn't going to save them by keeping a promise. He was dead, and unlike Silena and Beckendorf, he had stayed dead.
"You dear insult me?" Voldemort hissed, standing from his chair and drawing his wand. Kronos merely laughed as if it was the funniest thing he could imagine.
"You know you cannot kill me. I am a Titan, immortal not even the gods themselves can kill me. Now put you wand away, we have much to discus. But first I must get rid of spy." Kronos looked over at the window were Percy had was watching from, Percy felt another chill run through his body as he was dragged away from the dream.
-Next day-
The next morning Percy woke up in cold sweat with Grover standing over him with a worried look on his face.
"You alright Perce? You kept mumbling about not being a spy and that you didn't want to be destroyed." Grover said moving a step back as Percy sat up in his bed.
"We need to call a war council meeting now. Kronos is back." Percy said swinging his legs off the edge to the bed and standing up. He grabbed his camp tee-shirt and an old pair of jeans that had cuts in places from either swords or from just falling.
Grover stood shocked for a moment before hurrying around the dorm waking everyone else up and telling them to get ready, Percy had news and it wasn't good. Once everyone was up and getting ready he rushed downstairs to find Annabeth sat at one of the tables talking with Hermione, no one else seemed to be down yet. It was 6:30 in the morning, Grover reminded himself.
"Annabeth you need to get the girls up and down here quickly, Percy's got news. Kronos is back." He said rushing over to the two of them and speaking before she could open her mouth. Her eyes widened in shock and quickly stood up and ran up the stone stairs to the girls' room.
"Hermione, you best go get Harry and Ron as well. This has something to do with Harry." Percy said coming down the stairs seconds after Annabeth had disappeared. She nodded and went up the stairs; seconds later Percy and Grover heard her banging on a door and someone telling her to 'shut up!'
10 minutes later all the demigods and Harry, Ron and Hermione were down stairs dressed and all looking intently at Percy.
"Kronos is back and is working with Voldemort." He said, he told them all about his dream and the plan attack both him and Harry.
"Wait who in the name of Hades is Voldemort?" Nico asked looking at Hermione, Ron and Harry.
"I guess you could say he's our version of Kronos. Only I guess he's not as bad, but he's killed hundreds of innocent people, adults and children, who don't have magic or come from a magical family. All because he thinks they are 'inferior'." Hermione said with disgust.
"So basically we're kinda screwed that their working together?" Fred said.
"Unless we work together. That's the only way we can win." Thalia said "'One born of the sea the other as the seventh month dies, will be the savouries or watch it as it falls.' It means you two are going to have to work together." She finished leaving them all in silence for a few minutes. Students began coming down the stairs and into the common room which bought the group out of their trance.
"If a fight doses happen, Kronos will bring monsters with him as well as Voldemort and his death eaters and you're going to need our help to fight them and we'll need yours to fight the wizards." Percy said quietly. Soon the common room was full of people waiting for friends to go down to breakfast. Percy and Annabeth walked out of the portrait hole first, soon followed by the rest of the demigods.
"Do you think we can win, even with their help?" Annabeth whispered to Percy as they walked.
"I don't no." He admitted. "But we did it once, I'm sure we can do it again." He said trying to reassure himself and Annabeth.
-Defence against the Dark Arts lesson-
The 6th year Gryffindors and Slytherins along with the demigods lined up outside the DADA class room. All the students were talking about who their teacher might be, as the seat was empty during the feast and all DADA lessons had been cancelled and rearranged to start today.
"So what's this lesson all about?" Katie asked.
"We learn to defend ourselves against dark magic, it our version of your training." Hermione said. Just as the door to the class room opened.
"Come in." A voice called from inside. Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other.
"I can't be." Harry exclaimed rushing into the class room. It was a lot different than it had been last year, for one thing there wasn't anything pink or fluffy in sight. All the desks had been pushed to forum a semi-circle facing the front. At the front of the class room a man stood in a tattered old suit that looked like it had been through the wash to many times, he had scars all over his face, and he looked extremely tired but he still gave the class a warm smile as they came in through the door.
"Lupin!" Harry shouted running up to the front of the class. "What are you doing here?" He asked smiling up at one of his father's best friends.
"Dumbledore thought it best that I come back and teach again this year as I understand more about these young demigods and that best way to help them then most people. And I am also the only one willing to take the job." Remus said still smiling happily.
By now everyone had come into the class room and stood at the back looking around.
"Come take a seat." Remus said motioning to the desks set up. The Slytherins sat on the back row on the semi-circle while the Gryffindors and demigods filled up the front.
"For those of you who do not know I am Professor Remus Lupin and I shall be teaching you Defence against the dark arts for this year, and during the times when I am unwell Professor Snape will be teaching you." The Slytherins looked happy about that fact that their head of house would be teaching them while the Gryffindors looked offended.
"Now for today's lesson I thought it would be good to get to know our guests and see what they can do and how they defend themselves." Remus said looking at the demigods. "Who would like to demonstrate?" He asked. The demigods all looked at Percy while Percy was busy fiddling with Riptide in pen forum.
"Mr Jackson." Remus said looking at Percy. Percy's head shot up and looked around wondering what he's done.
"Yes?" He said looking at Lupin.
"Would you care to show us how you would defend yourself during an attack?" Remus said again. Percy stood up and walked to the front of the class while Remus walked off to the side out of the way.
Percy took out Riptide and uncapped it, feeling the familiar blade in his hand, there was a slight gasp from those who had never seen Riptide before, but Percy wasn't paying them much attention he was concentrating on the sea. The way the waves crashed against rocks and how the tide moved in and out constantly, never resting. A faint smell of sea water filled the room and soon Percy was engulfed in a bubble of water. The students gasped and shuffled backwards a bit when the water started spitting at them.
"Seaweed brain cut it out now! I'm not helping you back up all those stairs to your bed this time!" Annabeth shouted, clearly loud enough because the water around Percy disappeared, leaving him bone dry and the majority of the class wet.
"Sorry." He said sheepishly sitting back down.
"Excellent! Who next. Mr Solace if you will." Remus said motioning with his hand for him to get up and take centre stage.
Will stood and walked over to where Percy had been floating in a bubble of water moments before. He stood perfectly and focused on one point of the wall in front of his before taking an arrow out of his quiver that had just appeared on his back. He amid and fired, realising a loud high pitched noise as the arrow shot through the air hitting the gap between two bricks. The noise died down and Will still stood perfectly still only now he was glowing and slowly getting brighter causing everyone to look away.
"Will we would like to keep our eyes dude!" Travis said, getting some laughs. Will's glow began to fade and he went back to normal and was smiling.
"Thank you Mr Solace. Miss Beaur-"Remus cut his own sentence short and was looking at the back of the class room not blinking. Everyone turned their heads to see what he was looking at. Once again Harry, Ron, Hermione and this time Neville let out a gasp.
"Well this isn't the Elysium bar."
