RON POV
That was so cool! Merlin, if Hermione ever found out Nico could do that...she'd have the whole group in Azakaban, though. Shame she's turning out like Percy, though we established a long time ago being with us is a great influence on her.
"Is Nico the only one who can do that?" I asked excitedly.
They exchanged glances before saying yes.
"Okay. So each of you have different powers? Like, Nico's the necromancer..."
"Something like that, yes," Percy said cautiously as Nico reappeared in the shadows near the armchair. He walked over and took a seat like nothing had happened.
"Guys, please. You can trust me!" I said. These guys were so cool. And they weren't stuck up, either. Thank Merlin for that.
"It would be good to have an ally in Gryffindor," Percy said cautiously. "Fine, we'll tell you. You're a nice guy anyway. Meet us in the astronomy tower tonight."
I nodded and went back to join Harry.
-TIME SKIP-
I was at the top of the astronomy tower, waiting for Percy, Nico and Jackson. To my surprise, when I finally saw them come out of the shadows opposite the stairs, they had Malfoy and Neville with them.
We all gathered in a circle and sat down. Surprisingly, Malfoy wasn't being a prat. "Okay. You can't repeat any of this to anyone. Swear on the Styx."
"The sticks?"
"No. The River Styx."
"Okay. I swear on the River Styx I won't repeat anything you tell me. Like that?"
Thunder rumbled in the distance, making me jump. But what made me more shocked than any thunder rumble, was when they told me their parents were gods and goddesses.
"I'm Roman, my dad's Mercury."
"Ceres, I'm Roman too."
"My dad's Poseidon, and Nico's is Hades. We're Greek."
Wow. That was cool. I had studied a bit of Greek and Roman stuff in Binn's class, so I knew a bit about it. If I was correct, Poseidon and Hades were powerful.
"What about you?" I asked Jackson.
He threw his hands up in the air. "I can't tell you that. None of these guys here know."
"Thanks for reminding us, Jackie."
"Don't call me that!"
"Anyway, so, we're called demigods. Another term for us is half-bloods."
They told me about the Underworld, Olympus, their cousin, Thalia, daughter of Zeus, and her actual brother, not half-brother like most are, Jason, son of Jupiter. He was Roman. They also filled me in on the Titan and Gaea war, and that Nyx, goddess of the night, had teamed with Voldemort.
At the end, I knew about their powers (excluding Jackson, who wasn't letting a thing slip except he could turn monsters to dust with a touch of his hand) their monsters, and other things. Two words: Really bloody awesome. Wait, that's three.
Suddenly, Percy leapt to his feet. "Gods, we forgot to invite Luna!"
"Why do you need to invite Luna?" I asked.
"She's a daughter of Athena. I'm also dating her half-sister." he looked pleased by that fact. Nico rolled his eyes, stood up and patted Percy's shoulder.
"We know, Percy. We know."
"Anyway, guys," Neville said. "We should get going before people find out we're out of bed. See ya!"
Nico grabbed Malfoy and Jackson and they disappeared into shadow. I figured he'd be in our Gryffindor dormitory first.
I sighed and followed Neville and Percy to our dormitory. I wish I was a demigod.
NICO POV
Gods, I wish shadow traveling didn't drain me so much. I lay on my back, wondering when the others would get here, listening to Harry's steady breathing which seemed loud in the otherwise silent dormitory.
A few minutes later, Ron, Percy, and Neville came in and crept to their beds. That was the last thing I registered before I fell into a dreamless sleep.
I went down the next morning to see Harry writing a letter. I crept up behind him, saw who the letter was addressed to, and said, "Snuffles? Isn't that Sirius?"
Harry jumped. "How do you know that?"
Whoops. Now he was going to start asking questions. "Um, never mind. See ya, Harry."
"Sure," he said with a hint of venom. Gods, I hate my life.
The second I stepped out from the Fat Lady's portrait, I saw Luna standing there with her arm's crossed. Styx! She had found out we hadn't invited her.
"Hello, Nico." she said, glaring. "Care to explain why you didn't invite me to your lovely meeting last night?"
"Ah. Yes, see, we were busy, and we forgot, and we couldn't exactly go over to you at lunch or something. Plus, you were mean."
The last one shocked her. "Mean? I am not mean, Nico. What are you talking about."
"You didn't visit Jackson. Not once."
"Shut up, Nico! Anyway, let's go." She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the Great Hall. We separated once we reached our tables.
I sat with Jackson again. I just wasn't in the mood to see the Golden Trio, with the possible exception of Ron.
"Hello," I said gloomily to both Slytherin demigods.
"'Sup?"
"'Ello."
"By the way, Harry and Hermione are getting curious about us. I mean, I kind of wish they would just confront us besides whispering about us to themselves and Ron."
Just as I said that, Hermione got up from her table and started walking toward us. "You spoke too soon," Malfoy said.
I groaned. "Me and my big mouth."
"You have a very big mouth for a gloomy son of Hades," Jackson commented.
"Jackson! I swear one of these days..." A thought occurred to me. "Hey, how'd you get over here anyway with your leg?"
"Tell you later. Oh no! She's coming up behind you!" he said sarcastically.
I turned, and sure enough, Hermione was nearing me. "Yes?" I asked innocently.
"Harry says he woke up last night and he didn't see you, Ron, Neville or Percy."
Shoot! He is way to much of a light sleeper. The only people I know who sleep lighter than him are...well, basically everyone. Demigods are very paranoid. "Yeah, we were having a talk. You guys really need to mind your own buissness. Goodbye!"
She blushed slightly and huffed. "Whatever you did, he seems to trust you now. Harry thinks you bewitched him." She turned stalked away to her table.
"That was interesting..." Malfoy commented. "Are you sure your not in looove?"
"Okay, I'm hiring assassins to get both of you now. And aren't you going to tell me how you got here, Jackson?"
"Nothing much. Dear Draco here just helped me." He said, leaning his head mockingly on Malfoy's shoulder.
"Get off me!" Malfoy pushed Jackson off him right into Pansy, who was sitting next to him.
They both flew off their seats and crashed into the floor. "MALFOY! That HURT!" Jackson yelled at the blond boy, getting up from the floor, wincing. Pansy just glared.
"Aw, Jackson, I thought half bloods were supposed to be tough!" I said.
Pansy looked shocked. "Your a half-blood?" She asked Jackson. I was surprised. "Of course we are. All three of us," I said, pointing out me, Jackson and Malfoy.
Malfoy glared at me. "Now, I am hiring an assassin to kill you!" he hissed.
"What did I do?" I said.
"You're a half-blood?" Pansy screeched.
"No!" Malfoy covered up hurridly. "I'm a pure-blood. These guys are just kidding. I actually don't think they understand the difference between half-blood, mudblood and pure-blood. I mean, sheesh, guys." He slapped me playfully on the arm, but purposely hard.
"If you say so." Pansy looked slightly suspicious at us, but turned to a girl next to her and started talking.
"Thanks a lot," Malfoy said to me and Jackson.
"What? You are a half-blood." I whispered, so Pansy wouldn't go crazy again.
"In Roman terms, yes. I wizard terms, no!"
"Okay, fine sorry for messing up your pure-blood ego."
"Seriously, Nico, I am this close..."
Jackson was watching with an amused expression, and we were all so involved in fake threats that we jumped two feet off our seats when the Great Hall doors opened with a bang.
Percy and I leaped to our feet. "Leo, what are you doing here?"
Yay! I suck at cliffhangers! Anyway you guys are totally awesome if your reading this. Bye!
