HERMIONE

And so Acrisius cast his infant grandson Persues and his daughter Danaƫ into the sea in a wooden chest. Mother and child washed ashore on the island of Seriphos where they were taken in by the fisherman Dictys, who raised the boy to manhood.

I sighed looking up from the book and stretching. So Perseus was a son of Zeus, destined to kill his grandfather." I said to myself "Seems like a bit of an overreaction by the king though. Everything he did just insured the prophecy would come true."

Many of the other students were coming back from dinner. I didn't see Percy or Thalia with the crowd though. They said at dinner Professor McGonagall wanted to talk with them due to being exchange students and everything.

I sighed turning back to the text.

I read through the adventures of Perseus. Him defeating the Gorgon Medusa, and then the monster Cetus, and marrying Andromeda afterwords.

In reading the myth I was able to finish my Care of Magical Creatures essay as well, since the Gorgon's blood mixing with the sea created the winged horse.

I saw Harry coming down from the boy's dormitory.

"Harry! Your first lesson with Dumbledore is today! Why are you not heading there right now?" I said shutting the Greek Mythology book.

"I'm going right now Hermione." Harry said.

"Good." I said.

"Have you found anything else out?" Harry asked.

"I just finished a lead I was looking into with Percy's name" I said looking at the notes I was taking.

"Anything good?" Harry asked.

"Perseus was a Greek hero, a son of Zeus; King of the gods and lord of the sky. He slayed Medusa and rescued a damsel in distress." I said.

"So...nothing?" Harry said.

"Not that I can see right now. But you should already have left for your lesson!" I said realizing the time.

"Blimey! Your right!" Harry said dashing out of the common room.

I sighed adjusting my notes.

I sighed rubbing my hands and grabbing the homework I had in Ancient Runes.


PERCY

"Here you are." Professor McGonagall said turning to a large and ugly stone gargoyle.

"Ummm I'm no architect. Annie here is though. But that does not look like an office of any kind" Thalia said, crossing her arms.

"Lemon Drops" Professor McGonagall said.

"Okay, she has officially gone..." Nico said stopping as the gargoyle moved aside to reveal a winding staircase "...insane"

"Follow me" Professor McGonagall said waving us along with her hand as she started up the staircase.

We reached the top and McGonagall knocked on the door and opened it as soon as we heard a soft "Come in"

We all stepped inside to a large circular room with many windows, portraits, along with a number of spindly tables upon which were set with delicate looking silver instruments that whirred and emitted small puffs of smoke, as well as an incredible collection of books.

"Wow" Annabeth said, as walked into the office.

"Yeah" I said looking around the room.

"Hello Minerva, Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico" Dumbledore said, sitting at his desk.

"I will leave you all to your business" Professor McGonagall said then exited the office, shutting the door behind her.

I saw a familiar looking brightly colored bird next to Dumbledore's desk.

"Fawkes!" I said smiling and everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

"Yes. Might I ask how you know his name?" Dumbledore asked.

"Oh...I..I um..saw it in my dream" I said rubbing the back of my neck.

"He's a phoenix. I can sense his death day is approaching in a few weeks" Nico said looking at the bird, who in turn tilted his head.

"Way to keep the mood light Nico" Thalia said rolling her eyes.

"Woh, woh, woh, wait a second" Annabeth said crossing her arms and turning to me "What dreams have you been having Percy?" she said narrowing her eyes.

"I..I..um.." I said.

"Might I ask why your dreams would be of importance?" Dumbledore interjected.

"Demigod dreams aren't all sunshine and rainbows." Thalia said "They are usually visions of the past, present of future. Trying to tell us something super important but in a super cryptic way because just saying 'Oh hey there is a big thing coming your way, you should prepare for it' is too much of a hassle"

"I see" Dumbledore said folding his hands and leaning forward on his desk "Continue"

"Well it all started when we got here. I had one where I saw a younger Harry fighting this weird dude with a separate head on the back of his, then him killing his giant basilisk, and the one I had recently was him fighting off a lot of dementors...though there were two of him in that one" I said "He kept getting older though with each separate dream."

"Very interesting" Dumbledore said "So you are saying you have peered into Harry's past?"

"That all happened?! Really!?" I said.

"Unfortunately yes." Dumbledore said sighing "And if this pattern continues the worst is yet to come"

"So what exactly happened? I'm still a little confused for each one." I said.

"Harry, in his first year, had a run in with Lord Voldemort himself. Lord Voldemort bound himself to a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, trying to obtain the Sorcerer's Stone, a means of trying to restore his body. Harry was able to stop him though." Dumbledore said.

"In his second year, the Chamber of Secrets was opened Ginny Weasley, who was being controlled by Lord Voldemort. Harry was able to slay the beast and destroy the cursed diary which started the whole mess." he said.

"Then in his third year, an innocent man who many believed was guilty escaped to seek his revenge. Sirius Black is Harry's godfather, and many thought he was in league with Lord Voldemort and turned in Harry's parents. This was false as Peter Pettigrew, another friend, was the one who betrayed them. Sirius escaped to extract his revenge and Harry was able to discover the truth." he said.

"Then why were there two Harrys in my dream?" I asked.

"The reason you saw two Harrys was because of a time turner Miss Granger used to go back in time to try and save Sirius from a horrible fate. The dementor's kiss." he said.

Nico gasped "oh my gods...that's...awful"

"Yes indeed." Dumbledore said nodding solemnly.

"Why were the dementors focusing on Harry though. Sirius was unconscious and they could ahve sucked his soul out right there" I said.

"Harry has a dark past. You have seen part of it. Can you not tell why the dementors would effect him so?" Dumbledore said.

"That's awful" Annabeth said "I know we've had it rough, but we are demigods its apart of our lives. Harry...he is just a normal person"

"I did want to talk to you about that though" Nico said looking at Dumbledore "Its Harry. I didn't feel it at first, but with spending more time with him I noticed something."

"Continue" Dumbledore said gesturing to Nico.

"Its...hard to explain...its like there is something...there? I'm not sure what but something is apart of Harry. Something that isn't him and shouldn't be there" Nico said rubbing his temple "Its nothing like I have ever seen or felt before"

"Interesting" Dumbledore said tapping his chin.

"So?" Nico said.

"I have suspected something for a time now. I believe your thoughts have nearly confirmed my fears." Dumbledore said "Though there is still a hope"

"What are you talking about?" Thalia said.

"A matter that cannot be discussed at this time. I apologize." Dumbledore said "It can only be revealed when the time is right."

Thalia sighed "Okay, whatever."

"I assume that you did not just come to my office to discus dreams?" Dumbledore said.

"Yeah, we needed to talk to you about some of our classes." I said.

"Especially Defense Against the Dark Arts" Thalia growled, her eyes sparking at the mention of Snape's class.

"I hope everything is not wrong" Dumbledore said.

"Actually, you need to talk to Professor Snape before he gets struck by a bolt of lightning." Nico said.

"Why might I ask?" Dumbledore said.

"He is really being...well..a jerk" I said.

"He has been extremely unfair to us and a few of the other students in his class." Annabeth said "And making a daughter of Zeus, a son of Poseidon, a son of Hades, and a daughter of Athena mad is something he really does not want to do."

"If I was to talk with Professor Snape, might I tell him of your true identities? I feel this would clarify any disagreements you may have had with him." Dumbledore said.

We all exchanged a look. Thalia still had anger in her eyes. Nico looked hesitant. Annabeth's eyes looked deep in thought.

"Is he trustworthy?" I asked.

"I trust him completely" Dumbledore said.

"Swear it" Nico said crossing his arms.

"I swear on my life I trust Severus Snape" Dumbledore said.

"On the River Styx" Nico said.

"Nico!" Annabeth said glaring at him.

"What? We all know a swear on the Styx is unbreakable. I'm just trying to cover all our bases." he said.

"I am sorry. Can you please explain this as well?" Dumbledore said.

"Do you know of the River Styx?" Annabeth said and Dumbledore nodded.

"Well if you swear upon it the vow is practically unbreakable. Unless you wish a fate worse than death." Nico said.

"Very well. I swear upon the River Styx I trust Severus Snape." Dumbledore said an a clap of thunder was heard outside.

"Satisfied?" Annabeth said looking at Nico who in turn shrugged.

"Very well. I will tell Professor Snape of your true identities later this evening" Dumbledore said.

"Actually...can we do it ourselves?" Thalia said with a wicked gleam in her eyes.

"If that is what you wish. Please come by my office at this time tomorrow and you may tell Professor Snape your secret" Dumbledore said.

"Well now that that's all settled..." Nico said, stopping in the middle of his sentence.

"We have a visitor" he said pointing at the door.

"Oh, I have lost track of time" Dumbledore said rising from his desk "Harry. Please come in" he said.

Harry then tentatively opened the door.

"Sorry I'm late Professor...I..." Harry said then seeing all of us "Am...am I interrupting something?

"Not at all" Dumbledore said "Unless we are finished?" he asked us.

"Thank you Dumbledore" Annabeth said, thus ending our meeting.

"Very well." Dumbledore said and we walked past Harry, leaving Dumbledore's office.


HARRY

"Professor? Is something wrong?" I asked once Percy, Thalia, Annabeth, and Nico had left.

"Not at all Harry. Now are you ready for our lesson?" he asked walking towards me.

"Yes. But I wanted to talk to you about the exchange students" I said "Are you sure they are students from America?"

"Have they done something to make you suspicious Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well...their story doesn't exactly make sense and well...they seem like they are hiding something" I said.

"Are you saying they should have old you every aspect of their lives? Surely you of all people would understand not wanting to relieve some of those memories" Dumbledore said.

I winced at the thought of it.

"I'm sorry Professor" I said.

"It is quite alright Harry" Dumbledore said putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Professor...should I trust them?" I asked hesitantly.

"Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico are the most loyal and trustworthy people you might ever meet Harry." Dumbledore said.

"Now, I assume you have been wondering for quite some time now what I have planned for you during these private lessons?" Dumbeldore said.

"Yes, sir" I said.

"Well, I have decided that it is time, now that you know what prompted Lord Voldemort to try and kill you fifteen years ago, for you to be given certain information." he said walking over to the pensive.

"Sir," said I tentatively, "does what you're going to tell me have anything to do with the prophecy? Will it help me...survive?"

"It has a great deal to do with the prophecy and I certainly hope that it will help you to survive. But these things are a tricky sort. In trying to stop or prevent it from happening, you very well might have just set yourself of the path to see it realized." Dumbledore said.

"Now tonight we will be traveling into the memories of Bob Ogden. He was employed by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Dumbledore said pouring the liquid into the pensive.


PERCY

Me and Thalia headed back to the Gryffindor common room right after we left Dumbledore's office.

"What do you think Nico meant? I mean he is the resident expert on death and even he is stumped!" Thalia said.

"Dumbledore thinks he may know, but you heard what he said. Its obviously extremely important if he didn't tell us" I said.

"I know! I know!" Thalia said in a huff once we reached the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"You two are out awfully late" she said.

"Mimbulus Mimbletonia" I said and the portrait swung open.

"Whatever. I'm just focusing on how much of my power I should show Snape tomorrow" Thalia said the sparks in her eyes were flying.

"Even though I would love to see him wet his pants because of you. We shouldn't give his a heart attack" I said.

"Aww come on Percy! You want to do it as badly as I do" Thalia said as we walked into the common room. I just rolled my eyes.


HARRY

I walked back to the common room. The memory of the Gaunt House still playing in my mine.

I had learned only a sliver of Voldemort's past. But this was important to understanding the situation now, or at least Dumbledore thought so.

But the thing that was bothering me was what I had heard before the lesson even started.

I entered the common room, seeing Ron and Hermione had stayed up waiting for me. Everyone else had gone to bed apparently.

"Harry! You're back!" Hermione said seeing me.

"How was it!? What did Dumbledore teach you?" Ron asked.

"He showed me some memories concerning Voldemort's past" I said sitting down.

"That's all?" Ron said sounding disappointed.

"Tell us what he showed you Harry" Hermione said.

"Okay, well it started out at the Gaunt House..." I said going through the memory, seeing Voldemort's mother and father, and everything I had learned about the Gaunts.

"Interesting. So Voldemort had a muggle father!" Hermione said tapping her chin.

"What does this have to do with anything now?" Ron asked.

"Dumbledore said it has everything to do with the prophecy so it must be important I know this" I said.

"What did Dumbledore say about the prophecy?" Hermione said.

"Just that we had to be careful. In trying to figure it out or trying to stop it we could very well insure it is realized" I said.

"Interesting... I wonder" Hermione said pulling out her notes and Greek Mythology book.

"What does that have to do with Harry's private lesson?" Ron said.

"I was reading up on the myth of Perseus. It was said in prophecy that Perseus would end up killing his grandfather. Everything the grandfather did though just made the prophecy come true" Hermione said showing us her notes.

"Speaking of which I overheard them talking to Dumbledore earlier" I said "Right before my lesson"

"Who?" Ron said.

I rolled my eyes "Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia" I said.

"Oh...what did you hear?" Ron said.

"Well..." I said "I walked up to Dumbeldore's office and heard them talking. I heard something about their identities...and Snape"

"What did they say!?" Ron exclaimed.

"I only heard bits a pieces. And Nico knew I was at the door too" I said.

"Okay, now you both have to admit they are up to something!" Ron said.

"It is very suspicious. But if Dumbledore knows and he trusts them why should we be worried?" Hermione said.

"Dumbledore is human Hermione! He could have made a mistake! He did with Snape!" Ron said.

"Dumbledore said we should trust them. That they are all very loyal" I said.

"Harry's right! We should 'trust' them. You know what they say. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer" Ron said.

"They are not our enemies Ronald!" Hermione said "They may seem a bit suspicious and they are hiding something but I don't think they are going to do anything insane"

"I trust Dumbledore" I said "But...we still need to look into them. I just have this feeling...I don't know"

"Alright. Well I am going to look into a few more leads I have." Hermione said "We should all get to bed"

"You're right" I said walking up the stairs to my bed.


Sorry for a short/medium chapter!

I really wanted this one to be longer but I felt I needed to end this one here.

I will probably update soon if that is any consolation.

And again...

Nico/Luna paring? I am still not sure as I have gotten both Yes and No.

Please put your thoughts in a review! :)
