Skipping Dinner

Apollo:

I didn't go too dinner that night. I didn't want to face Lee, my own friend had called me a mudblood. Was I really a disgrace to this world. I guess I didn't exactly belong. I was a disgrace in this world, Fred and George hadn't come to check on me yet, maybe they didn't really care about me. Maybe the cold hard truth was I didn't really have any friends in this world, that they had just pretended when I was around. I hoped I was wrong that maybe they had just forgotten. I was sitting curled up on my bed with my iPod and my photo Album, it was dark in the dorm but I could see my pictures just fine because I was glowing. I was crying so bad that the bed shook with each sob, No mortal had ever made me feel so bad. This shouldn't bother me the way it did, curse my father for giving me the mentality of a child. "I'm not a disgrace," I said trying to comfort myself, there were very few times in life I had wished for my mother, this was one of them, Mama and Artemis were the only two people who were ever able to cheer me up when I got like this. 'You're beautiful and everybody loves you' Mama's words echoed in my mind, she always said that when I got like this. No, it's not true. Not everybody loves me. Lee doesn't love me, Percy doesn't love me, Carlisle doesn't love me, I'm not even sure if Fred and George loved me. I felt something lang in my lap so I pulled the blankets of my head too see what it was it was a red envelope, this must be what a Howler looked like. I opened it carefully having no idea what would happen

"FRED PHOEBUS-APOLLO OLYMPIAN HOW COULD YOU DECEIVE US LIKE THAT! YOU LIED TO US! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED. I WOULD OF THOUGHT YOU'RE MOTHER WOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU BETTER THAN THAT! IF THIS IS HOW YOU ACT ALL THE TIME NO WONDER YOU'RE FATHER SENT YOU AWAY!" Molly's voice came amplified from the Howler and the howler tore itself to pieces

"I'm a terrible person" I cried pulling the blanket back over my head. A bit later I heard footsteps but didn't bother to move or see who it was.

"What Lee said was wrong" My half-brother's voice came from beside me, I felt him sitting down next to me and draping his arm over me. He pulled be close into his side holding me while i silently cried "He prayed to me complaining that you got him in trouble, he's the one in the wrong, tho, he's right about the name thing, you must be careful when throwing around names like you did. That was a low blow on his part for bringing your mother and sister into it and I'm not too thrilled about what he called you either, try not to let this keep you down too long, sorrow doesn't fit you" Hermes said patting me on the back, he held me for a few more moments and then let me go and got up, I heard the sound flashing. I pulled the blankets off my head sitting up right, I saw a plate of Ambrosia and Nectar and I ate it as I did my homework.

"I'm a mudblood" I sobbed as I put my homework away and I grabbed my lyre and jumped up onto the bathroom door and hung upside down strumming my lyre. Dinner should roughly be over. Despite my sadness I began to sing, my brother was right, sadness doesn't fit me. I tried distracting myself.

"Close your eyes
I know what you see
The darkness is high
And you're in ten feet deep
But we've survived
More terrible monsters than sleep
And you know I
Will be here
to tell you to breathe"

I heard the common room door open signaling the house was back from dinner

"Tu sei il mio soldatino
La ragione per cui vivo
Non ti scordor di mi
Io vegliero su di te"

My voice wasn't as strong as it usually was but it was fitting for the sad song i was singing

"Stumbling lost
The last choice of all that you meet
It's the cost
Of ruling those 'neath your feet
Path's you've crossed
And trust you're trying too keep
you're exhausted
Listening to a voice
That can't speak."

I heard the shouts of my housemates as they were filling into the common room

"He wasn't at dinner" that sounded like Fred and George too me

"Who cares about that Mudblood, he's a scumbag" My eyes stung with tears but I pushed them back focusing on my music

"Ma Nico mio caro
Tu sei il mio soldatino
La ragione ho vissivto
Non ti scordor di me
Io vegliero su di te"

"Guys listen, I hear something" That sounded a lot like Charlie "Calm down we'll find him"

"So you run
Through shadow's you roam
Seems undone
By love you thought you could own
But he's just one
Of many that you might call home
And maybe someday
The bitter will fade from your bones
Fade from your bones"

"I hear singing" That was that Angelina girl

"What's going on here" that sounded like McGonagall

"Fred's missing" Fred and George were the ones that said that

"Eri il mio soldatino
Ora un principe oscuro
Ma an che per te ce unal luce
Che ad un'altra vita ti cunduce"

I sang pouring emotion into the song as I finished the last verse, I kept on strumming my lyre

"That was beautiful," Angelina said. I heard two sets of feet running up the stairs when Fred and George came into the room they didn't see me hanging on the bathroom door.

"Fred!" They called not seeing me, I was starting to get dizzy and I was glad my hair was pulled back in its ponytail "Where are you" McGonagall entered the room and saw me immediately. I noticed she had the same grey eyes that Athena did.

"Mr. Olympian! get down from there!" She exclaimed

"Okay" I said with a fake cheery smile. I stretched out my legs and let myself fall from the door. I never hit the floor, I found myself floating in the air before I was set on the floor gently

"Not the way I had in mind" McGonagall said

"Where were you during dinner" George asked

"Here" I said

"Why didn't you come too dinner" McGonagall said

"Didn't want too face Lee or sand risk getting into another fight" I said

"Is everything alright?" Fred asked

"I'm F..fine" I said

"Bad liar" Fred said

"It's nothing" I said

"You've been crying" George said

"Have you eaten, Apollo, Yes I know who you really are. It doesn't take much too put two and two together. Apollo, don't take what Lee said too heart. You're an amazing person and everyone who truly knows you loves you. Never forget that, and don't ever let anyone get you down" McGonagall said putting a hand on my shoulder

"Daughter of Athena?" I asked

"Yes, Athena is my mother, I had my guesses about you since I first saw the name on the list, the prophecy just confirmed it for me. I'm sure every demi-god at the school knows. Now, I'll go the rest probably want too come on up to bed" she said walking out, I went into the bathroom and changed into my Pajamas and pulled the hair bow out of my hair letting my hair down, is made curls around my face. I sighed washing my face with water. I still wanted to be friends with Lee I would have to find a way to make up with Lee. After doing everything I needed to I walked out of the Bathroom

"You're not one of us, Mudblood" Lee sneered shoving me on his was too the bathroom

"You've caused enough trouble tonight, Lee" a blonde boy said helping me up. "I'm Turner Purosangue, you can call me Gravity or Grav, everyone does." Gravity said

"I'm Fred Phoebus-Apollon Olympian." I said

"Nice to me you Fred, if you ever need help in any of the classes feels free to ask me, I'm from a pure-blood family so most of this comes naturally to me, the royal family actually. Mum and Dad gave me some pre-school teaching as well, don't treat me like a royal, I prefer to just be normal" Gravity said

"Purosangue means pureblood," I said sitting down on my bed

"I didn't realize you were Italian," He said

"I'm not. I'm greek. From new york though" I said

"A Yankee? You don't sound like a Yankee mate."

"I'm actually country, it's not easy keeping my country accent in New york, I go to visit my mama who lives in da south quite a bit," I said

"Lights out," Percy said at the doorway.

"We can talk some in the mornin'," I said plugging my phone and Ipod up

"Goodnight Fred" Gravity said getting into his bed

"Kalihkta Gravity," I said

"Huh," he said

"Goodnight, sorry I spoke Greek," I said

"That's alright," Gravity said

"Fred, Shut the bloody hell up" Lee Growled. I pulled the blankets over my head and closed my eyes

"Come on Lee, we need to talk," Fred said, I heard him getting out of bed.

A/N the song was one i found on youtube it's called Nico's Lullaby (solditino) and parts of it are in what I thing is Italian
