Hermione POV
The next few days, everyone who had gathered at Hogwarts trained more an more. It was obvious that the four evils were getting closer and closer. One morning, the school awoke to find the castle surrounded by snow and ice that only Percy was able to thaw. Another morning, everything was fore in time. No one was able to move around outside the castle. Hermione and Carter, with the help of Walt and Bast and Bes, were able to lift the spell. Still another morning, the castle was found to be overrun with snakes. Harry seemed particularly afraid by this. Lucy was able to get rid of them, seeing as she had such an amazing relationship with animals. That particular morning, Hermione awoke in her room, alone. She darted out of bed, and pulled on her training clothes, and dashed out of her room.
"Carter? Perce? Lu?" she yelled, dashing downstairs into the Great Hall. She was relieved when she saw Steve standing there.
"Steve!" Hermione called. The captain turned, and he grinned when he saw the young witch running towards him.
"Moring, 'Mione!" he said.
"Have you seen Carter, Percy and Lucy?" Hermione asked frantically. Steve laughed.
"They're by the lake." he said, and Hermione thanked him and ran outside. She found the three others sitting under the tree where Lucy had broken down days before.
"Where were you guys!" Hermione yelled angrily, stomping over. Carter grinned sheepishly at her, while Lucy and Percy just laughed.
"Easy, Hermione. We just thought you needed some quiet time by yourself, you know, because this is your old school and all." Carter said, taking her hand and pulling her into a hug. Hermione sighed, and leaned back against her boyfriend.
"You're right. So what are we going to do?" she asked, and Percy slid down against the tree trunk, pulling Lucy down next to him.
"I'm not sure. Who knows when the villains will attack. The snake attack was obviously Voldemort and Apophis combined, the snow was Jadis, and the time was Kronos. They're toying with us." he said. Just then, a small piece of parchment appeared in front of the four. Hermione glanced at the others, and gingerly took the paper. It read:
To the Four "Heroes",
Be prepared. In two days time, we will find you, and we will kill you all, slowly, and painfully. You will regret ever defeating us. Be aware.
Your Worst Nightmare
Hermione dropped the parment, her hands shaking. Carter held her tightly. Lucy foze, and Percy clutched her.
"Oh Styx, oh styx, oh Styx." he whispered, and Lucy began to cry.
"What are we going to do?' she asked, tears streaming down her face. Percy rubbed her back.
"We're going to train even harder. We have two days until they strike. We are gong to be even stronger then before, and we are going to defeat them once and for all." Hermione said fiercely, and her friends nodded, and Lucy smiled.
"Should we get training?" she asked, and the other three nodded, and they walked together, arm-in-arm, into the Great Hall to eat breakfast, then went off to training. First, though, the group asked Professor McGonagall if tall the leaders of the groups could meet them in Professor Dumbledore's old office, and she agreed, though rather confused.
"What is the meaning of this, Mr. Jackson?" McGonagall asked, once the gods, Egyptian and Greek, Amos, and Bast had met them.
"While the four of us were outside, we received a small piece of parchment. It said that Voldemort, Jadis, Apophis, and Kronos would attack in two days. We need to prepare." Percy said, and Hermione shivered at the thought of Voldemort attacking Hogwarts for a second time, this time with help.
"Thank you. We will tell everyone else." McGonagall said, and Percy nodded and the four of them left the room. They walked downstairs to the training room.
"Will everything return to normal?" Hermione asked her best friends, and Carter entwined his fingers with hers.
"I don't think so, 'Mione. I think everything will be much, much better." he said, kissing her cheek. Percy took her other hand, and Lucy took his hand. Steve stuck with them to help them with their skills.
"Percy, lift your shield higher! Carter, aim lower at the unprotected part." he said, and the two boys followed his instructions. Carter and Hermione had cast a spell that created life-size versions of their enemies to help them practice. Walt and Bast had come down, and were helping Hermione and Lucy with their own fighting.
"Shoot at the shoulders, Lucy. Hermione, aim for his chest." Bast commanded. The girls nodded. After an afternoon of intense training, the instructors finally let up.
"One more afternoon." Steve said quietly, with his arm around Percy and Carter, who nodded.
"One more morning." Lucy said, and Percy took her hand.
"One more training session." Hermione said, and Carter put his other arm around her.
"We can do it guys." Carter said. The five walked out of their training room, and went upstairs for dinner.
