Chapter 14

I walked out of the common room and I couldn't find Crabbe and Goyle. Where could they have gone? Think Nico. The last place you'd seen the two they were coming out of Myrtle's bathroom.

I smirked. And shadow traveled to Myrtle's bathroom. I appeared at the bathroom when Weasley and Potter ran into the bathroom with clothes that look rather big on them. And the cloak has the Slytherin crest instead of Gryffindor.

"That was a total waste of time" Weasley whined "We still don't know who's doing the attacks."

"Hermione! We've got some…"

"Well, well well" I drawled. "What do we have here? Two lions in snake's skin. One that is probably two sizes or more too big I might add."

"What are you doing here?"

"You know, breathing, learning, living , talking to you." I said

"Well we don't want to talk to you"

"Ouch" I said a hand over my heart "That hurt. You don't want to talk to lil' ol' me?"

"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed to the door knocking rigorously "Help us out here."

"Go away!"

"Well someone's grumpy" I commented

"Zip it, Di Angelo"

"What's wrong with Granger?"

"None of your business." Weasley snarled "How did you get here so fast?"

"I was here the whole time"

"No, you were in the Slytherin Common Room." Harry pointed out "With Malfoy."

"I was." I said "like earlier this evening, this morning, yesterday. The start of term. It's pretty much where I live for the year and Malfoy is my fellow prisoner."

"Prisoner?" Potter asked "You think Hogwarts is a prison?"

"Well, the Slytherin Common Rooms are in the Dungeons aren't they?" I said "What do you always find in the dungeons. Prisoners. House prejudice are also in the making of Hogwarts from the looks of it. Well good thing that none of us Slytherins actually mind it much. We take care of ourselves."

"We are getting off topic." Potter said "What are you doing here? Are you the Heir of Slytherin?"

"So quick to judge, aren't we?" I taunted then leaned on one of the walls of the bathroom. My ring held on my hand, playing it around my fingers. "Two things. Let's say I was the heir of Slytherin, why would I tell you?"

"Because it would be the right thing to do." Potter said. "Even Dumbledore approached you."

"Dumbledore wanted to ask me of my stay here in Hogwarts" I said "Not if I was the one causing the attacks."

"Well the attacks started when you came"

"How sure are you there wouldn't be attacks without me here?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Weasley knocked on the door this time. "Hermione! We need you here!"

"I said go away."

"Come on, Granger" I taunted "I doubt you look that bad changing into a Slytherin."

"Go away!" she exclaimed "I look terrible."

"Come on Hermione. The Polyjuice would've worn off by now." Potter said rather desperate.

"NO!"

"Oh for gods' sake" I slid my foot on the marbled floor dragging Hermione out by her shadow. Hermione shrieked in surprise as she was practically pulled out of the stall.

She had a cloak over her head, hiding again.

"What did you do?" Weasley demanded his wand now out pointing towards me.

"I got her out of the stall" I said shrugging. "Wasn't that what you wanted?"

"How did you…"

"That is none of your business" I said. "You don't see me asking you anything personal."

"You certainly aren't a wizard" Granger said still covered "What are you?"

"What am I?" I asked "I am human. I am a half-blood. I am a bastard child. I am someone with more problems than friends that are actually alive. Get it? I am not someone you mess with."

"Why is that?" Granger said under the cloak. "We're all human. Everyone has problems. What makes you different?"

"Because I am a halfblood" I said crossing my arms after waving my hand making the black cloak fall out of her face only to reveal a kitty face that looks like a familiar feline that wanders in the common room at night. "And I am possibly more powerful than you'd imagine." I looked at Hermione for a moment. "You should probably get Madame Pomfrey have a look at that. I fear it might be contagious" then I leaned to the door of the stall and shadow travelled away. Leaving a few suspicious and very confused Gryffindors.

~(^_^)~

I don't know why but everything always points to Myrtle's bathroom. Big Yellow eyes…. That's it! Great Big yellow eyes. The same eyes that I saw when I got attacked. That's it. That's the monster. I went to the last place you'd possibly find a demigod that doesn't have grey eyes… the library.

I spent over three hours in the wretched place. I have a very very bad headache and I still have nothing. I hate how everything in this place is in English why don't they have anything in Greek… that isn't in the restricted section.

I checked. There is nothing that isn't Ancient Magic that is written in Greek. Why do the fates absolutely love to torment me?

I groaned then closed the book I had opened. I pushed it away from me then banged my head on the oak table. Why is this so hard!

I then gave up on looking for clues. I could always look into the bathroom in question again. I left the library and headed to the bathroom. What the hell am I supposed to do?

Next thing I knew I am on the ground. And the one I had bumped into is Granger. Books scattered everywhere. Why in the world does Granger have so many books? I would've died just reading half of these.

"Watch where you're going!" I grumbled then started to help her pick stuff up.

"Sorry." She said I gave her the rest of the books and noted.

"Well, you look better. No furballs?" I teased

"Not one word" she said

"Well, at least you don't look all furry anymore. What's more ironic than a lion in Gryffindor?"

"How can you look at someone that could kill you in their glare without dying?" she said randomly.

I blinked "Uh… depends if it were like Medusa or any other Gorgon. You look at their reflection. There are some things that have reflectors of some sort."

"Reflection! That's it!" Hermione said. Then took out a mirror from her bag.

"You're weird" I stated.

"Thank you" she said then suddenly asked "Why did you make it sound like Medusa and monsters were real?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Wizards and witches are real. Why can't myths be?"

"Do you expect me to believe that heroes and monsters are…"

"Granger?" I turned and saw her as stiff as stone. Her mirror still in her hand.

"Di Immortales!" I cursed. I turned left and right. No one here. I grabbed her hand and shadow travelled to the Hospital Wing.

As fun it is to startle people. Sometimes, it's just painful and idiotic. I managed to startle Madame Pomfrey by shadow travelling with Granger to the Hospital Wing. I was tired as it is shadow travelling in broad daylight. I certainly didn't need a bedpan hitting my head.

"Oh my" Madame Pomfrey exclaimed clearly startled. "Don't do that!"

"Oh, it's nothing Madame Pomfrey. The back of my head is just throbbing from shadow travelling in broad daylight and being hit with a frigging bedpan on the back of my head."

She lightly tapped the back of my abused head again then motioned me on the bed after conjuring ice for me to place on the back of my head. Then she concentrated on Granger.

"What happened?"

"There was another attack" I said "One minute I was talking to a know it all then next thing I knew she was as stiff as stone."

"Oh dear" she sent an owl to Dumbledore "Come on help me put her on bed."

I placed down the ice for a while then help Madame Pomfrey lift her to the hospital bed. With all the training I had with camp, dad, and Minos (No matter how terrible he is I did learn a lot.) Hermione didn't seem so heavy.

I just sat back down on the bed beside her, the ice pack back on my head. Darn it, Madame Pomfrey has a hard swing.

Not long after Professor McGonagall entered the Hospital Wing with Potter and Weasley in tow.

"I warn you this may be a bit of a shock."

"Hermione!"

"She was found near the library." Professor McGonagall said "with this. Can any of you explain?"

They both looked at me with a glare.

"What?"

"You did this!" Weasley exclaimed then tried to attack me. Fortunately, in his part, Potter held him back. "He did this Professor! He's the Heir of Slytherin."

Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow at me. "Why would that be so, Mr. Weasley?"

"This is all him!" Weasley exclaimed "He has had it against Hermione and the other Muggleborns from the start. Especially that Justin fellow from Hufflepuff."

"Justin?" I asked. Then I looked around. I found my first friend in a bed near the door along with Nearly Headless Nick across him. "When did this happen?"

"Just before the holiday" Professor McGonagall said "We don't really know what happened."

I jumped off the bed ignoring the slight throb in the back of my head. I walked to my Muggleborn friend. How had I not noticed? I'm such a terrible friend.

I closed my eyes. His soul is still intact. I'm so sorry, Justin. I am a failure as a friend. And as a son of Hades. I will fix this. I turned towards Nearly Headless Nick.

"Madame Pomfrey, you don't happen to have some Nectar, do you?"

"Yes, why?"

"I know how to bring Nick back." I said looking at my almost beheaded friend. "The Mandrake won't be able to do anything to him. But I know something that might."

"Mr. Di Angelo, I don't think that experiments are advised in…"

"I've seen this before Professor" I said "Ghosts cannot die again. But they can go into something we call a death trance. I can get him out of it."

Madame Pomfrey handed me a flask of Nectar. I opened it and drank some. It tasted like chocolate. Like it always does, confirms that it's nectar. I felt the Nectar start to go in my system making the pain of my head disappear and giving me more energy.

I took some pomegranate seeds I always keep in my person. I placed five on the floor. After pouring a little bit on each creating a little flower in each.

"What in Merlin are you doing?" Weasley demanded.

"Hush, Weasley" I scolded then went to the bed where Nick was floating.

"You can't touch a ghost" Potter pointed out.

I ignored him and dragged the floating Nick by his arm to the amazement of the two Gryffindors and the amusement of McGonagall. (Though I have a feeling it was because of the pair's expressions.)

I placed Nick in position and twisted my ring. The familiar Stygian Iron sword game me a slight wave of nostalgia. Though having to fight monsters constantly was annoying as hell, it was a mark of who we are. It was rather comforting in a way.

The two Gryffindors gasped. I groaned.

"If you two aren't going to let me do my thing, I suggest you keep quiet. One wrong move and Nick could end up in the void." Then they shut up "Thank you"

I sliced my palm with my sword. Covering the black blade with small amount of red. I waved my sword over Nick's body and started to chant repeatedly.

"κοιμούνται πλέον ξυπνήσει και να ενταχθούν αδελφούς μας" the small plantlings in the bottom started to glow and so did my sword. I waved it one more time ending at the base of Nick's neck. I plunged the sword in the already severed part of his neck. I moved it out to where Nick's neck was wide open. When I took the sword out of Nick's ghostly body, the sword was clean. And Nick looked more 'alive' than when he was petrified. I layed the sword aside then waved my hands over his body.

I summoned the part of his soul that was asleep from the petrification. After one mighty pull…

"WAKE UP!"

Nearly Headless Nick gasped and sat up straight. The little pomegranate plants were withered beneath him and he looked around confused.

"What happened?"

"Welcome to back to the living Nick"

"Sir. What happened?"

"Do you remember anything, Sir Nick?" Professor McGonagall asked

"Eyes" he said "Big Bright yellow eyes."
