Damn, I have written too many short filler chapters lately. Sorry about this, but this book and Chaos's Chosen are my top two fanfics and fanfics that I'm running out of ideas for. Anyways, I hope you enjoy. - Steven
Chapter 10: Lost Memories
Percy's POV
The days went by really slowly, probably because we did the same every single day. It got really boring after a while. You just wake up and you sigh as you picture yet another day of sword fighting. I was trying to figure out what else we could do when the answer slapped me in the face while I was lying down in bed one night. "Yeah, that would work!" I accidentally said out loud.
"What is it?" Nico asked me.
"Nothing. I'll tell you tomorrow." I replied. "Go back to sleep."
"Fine." he said before silence followed. I laid back on my bed and thought "Hopefully this works out." before I fell asleep.
Line Break
I woke up bright and early the next day for what hopefully would be a more exciting training day if my idea worked out the way I wanted it to. When everyone gathered in the Great Hall for breakfast, I sprung a surprise meeting on Dumbledore to ask him if he can let me say some words. He said yes so I was prepared. After eating, Dumbledore stood up and made the announcement. "Percy has something to say." he announced. He gestured to me, and I stood up and walked over to him to take his place. Once I got there, I said,
"Today is going to me a bit different." I began. People leaned in eagerly to see what was this sudden change. "We are facing enemies from both of our wars. We need knowledge on all of our enemies. That is why I have decided that Harry Potter will teach some magic for a few days."
Silence filled the room with hints of shock as well. "Instead of splitting into groups, we'll all be in one big group while Harry teaches magic." I continued.
"Let's go outside." Starting from the back of the room everyone filed out towards a large field. I heard that the wizards played some broomstick game here. Harry was at the front, and he seemed a bit nervous, but it also seemed like he had done this before.
"Let's start off with some offensive spells." he began. "I think you would know what you usually use as an offensive spell. Get a partner and proceed." With that the field was a mass of people grabbing each other as their partners. I ended up with Leo at the end of the chaos.
"Begin!" Harry shouted. The air was filled with words as spells were launched.
"Incendio!" Leo shouted. A jet of fire erupted from the end of his wand.
"Aguamenti!" I countered. A jet of water came out of my wand and doused Leo's flames. He frowned at this before he yelled,
"Confringo!" A larger and hotter jet of flame shot at me.
"Aqua Erecto!" I shouted. A larger shot of water came out of my wand and doused the flames once more. By then we both knew that this was too simple, so we both started to control the elements, me doing that more easily, but neither of us landed a hit for a while until Leo finally hit me with a few embers, lighting my clothes on fire. I immediately ducked and rolled, trying to put out the flames before I realized I could just douse the flames. Once I did that, I stood up to find that Leo was smirking while watching me the entire time.
I scowled slightly before I fired off another jet of water and got him all wet. He scowled at me in turn before he heated himself up and dried his clothes. "I think that everyone seems fine in offensive spells." Harry suddenly said.
"Let's use some defensive spells. We'll start off simple with the Shield spell. One person uses offensive spells while the other uses the Shield spell. Then you switch the roles. You can continue now!" With that, I immediately caught Leo off guard by firing water spells and anything else I could think off at him, where he responded with a weak shield. He managed to hold up long enough so that he could make a stronger shield as I bombarded him with spells.
"Can I get a break?" he asked me. His shield lowered slightly, which allowed my water attacks to break through and once again soak him thoroughly.
As he heated himself once more to dry his clothes out, I took my time and made a very strong shield in front of me. I just finished before Leo returned literal fire. I actually managed to hold up until Leo finally stopped because he had exhausted himself. I grinned after Leo had stopped his attacks. This was definitely much more fun. It wasn't boring anymore with the new idea I had thought about last night. The plan was executed perfectly. As I stood there waiting for Leo, someone lightly tapped my shoulder from behind me. I turned to see that Dumbledore had arrived. "Madam Pomfrey has reported some news." he said quietly. Leo walked up and stood beside me, listening attentively. "Your friends have woken. You are dismissed. Gather your friends and you can go to the infirmary." I nodded before I ran around the field gathering everyone with Leo by my side. Eventually everyone was with me and we were off towards the infirmary. Once we reached the doors I knocked and Madam Pomfrey opened the door.
"Good! You are here. Come on in, your friends want you." I walked in to see Jason sitting up in one bed while Thalia was sitting in another.
"Hey, you're awake!" I told Jason. "What is it?"
"I need some help." he said.
"What is it?" I asked. For some reason, a cold dread was creeping up my spine in the bright room, and I was suddenly very aware of Piper and Leo standing right beside me while Annabeth was with Thalia and everyone else was just around.
"I can't remember anything." Jason finally said. "Who am I?"
So, will Jason and Thalia recover eventually? You find out someday! Anyways, please answer the poll on my profile and thanks for reading! - Steven
