Nico at School
Chapter 11
I hear the door to the dungeon open and a bunch of yelling. I don't particularly want to get up but it lasts for more than a few minutes so I figure its something big. I slowly get out of my bed and hop down to the floor. When I have wiped the sleep out of my eyes I see that the door to the common room is now shut.
When I get out of the boy's room, still half asleep, what I see surprises me awake. Annabeth is standing inside with her hands on her hips. Draco and a few other boys are yelling at her to leave but I can't quiet make out what Annabeth is saying. Draco yells at her to leave again and finally I hear what she is saying, "NO. I will not leave till I have seen and spoken to Nico Di Angelo. Where is he?" She looks at the stairs and sees me staring at her. She sighs and motions for me to come down.
When I get down to where they are all the other Slytherns are looking at me in appall, I don't really understand why but I try not to think about that. At the moment I had an angry Annabeth to deal with, which let me tell you is not a nice thing to wake up too.
"Good you are OK," Annabeth says with a sigh.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be OK?" I ask her a bit confused.
"I just wanted to make sure that you were OK, and Hazel told me to check on you."
"Why did Hazel tell you to check on me?-When did you talk to Hazel?!"
"She was worried and about ten minutes ago."
I notice that everyone in the Slythern house is watching us so I motion for Annabeth to follow me.
We go to a secluded part of the common room and sit in chairs beside each other.
"So why are you worried?" I ask still a bit confused about that part.
"Well, I was told that Slytherns aren't to be trusted, that they are bad news and that people in the Slythern house aren't friends with Gryffindors." Annabeth states simply.
"Well, I'm fine. See nothing bad has happened to me, how is Hazel and why would she want me to be checked on?"
Annabeth's face told me that, like herself, Hazel didn't trust that I could not be influenced by the Slytherns.
"She just wanted me to check on you because she is your older sister. She feels protective over you." I snort and say, "Well, you don't have to check on me I'm fine. Thanks though and tell the others that I said hey." With that I stand up and taking her arm lead her out of the house. She doesn't say anything more just gives me a sad look like I have already turned into a monster.
When I shut the door behind Annabeth the Slythern house is surrounding me.
"Who is she?" One demands.
"What house does she belong to?!" Another asks.
"Gryffindor you idiot!" Says the first person to the second.
"We don't talk to Gryffindors," Draco says.
"Why?" I ask.
The others snort and Draco says, "They can't be trusted. They will tell lies and they hate us, just because we are Slytherns. So do you understand that you can't trust them?"
"Those Gryffindors are my friends. They have been my friends for years. My sister is a Ravenclaw, are you saying I can't talk to her either?" I demand from them.
Draco puts his arm around me and says, "You just don't get it do you?" He leads me away and I take one last look at the door, really wishing I had gone with Annabeth when I could have.
