Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, except for my OC. J. K. Rowling and Rick Riordan does, not me. (Imagine they were in the same time period as Percy Jackson). This story is also found on Wattpad. I'll try to update two chapters the scheduled day if one chapter is short. If a chapter is long, then I'm keeping it to one chapter. Reviews are welcomed!
Bianca's POV
I felt someone shake me.
"Come on, Bianca. Wake up~"
I felt another nudge.
"Wake up..."
I groaned, opening my eyes, glancing at Hermione, who was already in her robes and uniform.
"I don't want to..." I whined, pulling my covers over me.
"Come on, we'll be late for class," Hermione reasoned.
I sat up, itching my arm. I squinted my eyes at her.
"What time is it?" I whispered.
"6:30," she answered.
My jaw dropped at her.
"In the morning?! You're kidding!"
"Yeah! We could go to the library and read!"
"Who reads a book in the morning?! What library opens that early!"
"Come on, it'll be fun!"
"Just five more minutes, and I'll come with you," I promised.
"Deal!"
Five Minutes Later...
"Come on, Bianca! Five minutes are up!"
I groaned."Five more minutes..."
She started shaking me."Come on and get changed."
I yawned, getting out of bed. It took me fifteen minutes to get ready. We both got our bags and headed to the Great Hall.
Professor McGonagall gave us our schedules in the Great Hall.
"You two are early. Next time, come at the usual time." She looked at me."Never thought you would be an early bird, Bianca."
I looked up at her.
Last time when I was here, I would usually wake up around 8 or 9.
I laughed."I wonder why..."
"I'll see you two in class then."
I ate slowly to stall time. Hermione was already finished within ten minutes. She waited for me to finish my breakfast. Soon, I finished. We grabbed our bags and walked to go find the library.
"Time?" I asked.
"Almost 7:00," she answered.
I sighed. I should've eaten slower.
We finally found the library and entered. My fingers skimmed through the many textures and covers of different books in the Legal Section.
Suddenly, I thought of a good idea. I should find books about Khione, gods and goddesses, and demigods.
I went to find Madam Pince, who was in charge of the library. I went up to her desk.
"Excuse me, do you have any books about Greek Mythology?"
She pointed to the Reference Section."Thank you."
I went over to the section. It covered quite a lot of counter-attacks. There were Curses, Hexes, and Jinxes. There were the subjects of Hogwarts as well. My eyes landed on a book about an Animagus. Professor McGonagall was one; she was a cat. I've seen her as one before as well. I pulled the book out of the bookshelf and began to read the summary.
" 'An Animagus can change into the form of an animal.' "
I closed the book.
"Not what I'm looking for."
I opened up a book about a Metamorphmagus.
" 'Metamorphmagi are born with the ability to change their appearance at will.' "
I closed it.
"Cool, but nope."
I opened the book about Parselmouths.
" 'The ability to speak the language of snakes and to command them is extremely rare.' "
I sighed and put the book up.
"Boring."
I noticed a blue book about Demigods. I pulled it out and spotted a big book about Roman and Greek Gods near it too. I got both of them and went to find Hermione.
She was sitting at an empty table with stacks of books already. She was reading a book about Transfiguration, which was our first class.
I looked at the analog clock. It was 7:45. I looked back at Hermione.
"Can we leave now?" I whined.
"Five more minutes. Let me finish this book."
I pulled a chair and sat next to her.
I opened the Demigod book. I started to read silently.
" 'Demigods, or half-bloods, are a race of beings who are half human, half god.' "
My eyebrows furrowed at the page."So I'm not a Muggle-born?" I gasped to myself out loud.
Hermione heard me."Muggle-born? What do you mean?"
She set her opened book face down and peered over my shoulder. She began reading.
"Wait...why are you reading this? Gods and goddesses are myths, Bianca."
I looked around. No one was here except for us and Madame Pince.
You know, since it's too early in the morning.
"Hermione, this is a secret, and you can't tell anyone, okay?"
She nodded.
"I'm a demigod, Hermione."
I began to explain to her my whole story, leaving out Nico though.
"What? That doesn't make any sense."
"You know Saffron, right?" She nodded."He's a satyr. You know? Those half-man, half-goat stuff?"
"A satyr? What? He doesn't look like one."
"He's in a human disguise."
"Oh..."
"He's not actually a wizard," I whispered to her.
"How is he able to do spells? The teachers and the students are gonna get suspicious."
"Well...the teachers already know about him, but...there's this goddess of magic, Hecate, who created a special wand for him to be able to use. Well, that's what I heard from him."
"Wah...it must've been cool to be a demigod and a witch. Who's your godly parent?"
"Khione? I'm trying to figure out about my mother."
I looked at the analog clock again. It was 8:10.
"Let's go back to the common room, okay?"
She nodded.
We gathered our books and checked them out. We headed towards the Gryffindor common room.
"It must be fun controlling ice and snow," she said.
"Yeah, but there are consequences..."
We entered the common room. It was empty. Everyone must've been at the Great Hall, eating breakfast. Hermione went up to the dormitory to put up some of the books. She came down with five books from her stack.
We sat on the couch. I put the book about Romans and Greeks in my bag. Hermione put four of them in hers. I was surprised that everything all fit in her bag.
I opened the Demigod book and continued reading silently.
" 'Many of them are known to also have ADHD and dyslexia.' "
I thought. Do I have them?
I shrugged and continued reading.
" 'When a demigod reaches a certain age, normally early teens, their powers start to manifest. At this time, demigods will release a scent that monsters are able to detect. This scent will become stronger if the child learns they are a demigod."
I gasped."So that's why!"
"What's what?" Hermione asked.
I showed her the page, and she read. She starts reading a different page.
" 'Most demigods wait to be claimed. Children of Athena are claimed at birth, while others have to demonstrate some form of their parents' trait to be noticed, either through cunning, powers, skills, or even beauty. Otherwise, they are placed in Hermes' cabin, as he is the patron of travelers, anyone is welcomed there, including children of minor gods who aren't important enough to have a cabin.' "She looked at me."Is Khione a minor or one of the Olympians?"
I took out the book from my bag.
"Let me check."
I opened the book and flipped through the pages. I passed a page about Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Boreas, Hades, Hermes, and stopped at Khione.
I saw her picture. It was beautiful. I touched her face.
This is my mom?
"Woah...she's really pretty." She began to read." 'Khione is the minor Greek goddess of snow and daughter of Boreas. She likes to turn people into ice sculptures.' "
"Well, then...I can see why Saffron hates her," I said.
"Maybe she has some strange issues," Hermione suggested.
"Yeah, probably. Hopefully, I don't turn out like her, turning people into ice statues."
"Holy crickets! Class is starting in thirty minutes. Let's go!"
I whined."That early!?"
I put the Roman and Greek book in my bag anyways. She dragged me out.
"Come on!" I held the book to my chest.
