I LOOOOOOOOVE CHRISTMAS! So I am sooooo excited for the next 6 chapters, which are going to be Christmas things! Also, we just hit 25,000 views, people! WOOOOOO! Anyway, I'm going to start giving you a completely random fact about myself. Today's random fact is….. I enjoy just eating straight hot cocoa powder instead of the actual hot cocoa! Review about your preferences. Also, today's song is 'Victorious' By Panic! At the Disco (courtesy of CabinSixResident, even though it doesn't really go with the theme….)

Infelizmente, não tenho nada e, se tivesse, não o publicaria neste aplicativo. Eu quero falar sobre queijo.

Nico's POV

I melted into the shadows, taking us all with me to the Ministry of Magic. Will and Grover were stressing because they thought that they could help them so much better than any magical doctors.

I whispered "I know that you could do better, but I think they can do pretty well." He nodded. We then arrived at the Ministry, and some passing employees stared at me strangely. Ha, amatures.

We made our way towards the Department of Mysteries, and I could feel his life force slipping away. I yelled "HURRY!" Dumbledore started to panic, and so he whispered something to the sky, like a prayer to Thanatos, and I could feel some life coming back into him.

(Play Victorious by Panic! At the Disco, even though it REALLY doesn't go with it.)

We made it there as some medi-wizards were taking him away on a floating stretcher. Ron, Ginny, Fred and George squeaked a little after seeing where the snake had attacked him.

Then Molly apparated by the stretcher. She yelled "ARTHUR! Albus, what happened?" Then Dumbledore whisked her away, and we were left standing there awkwardly. A blond ministry wizard (guess who) walked up to us.

"Hello, what are you doing out of school? Draco, what are you doing with the mudbloods?" (you were right, it was Lucius. Congratulations.)Draco said "She's my girlfriend now, so you might as well accept it, bitch." Then he walked away, throwing one last look at his adoptive father.

We walked off after him, and Ron said "That was awesome, mate!" And I found it hard to believe that they were fighting over Hermione about a month ago. Oh well, I said in my brain, it doesn't matter now.

Draco said "I know where the minister's private snack bar is, but I don't know how to get in." Then he looked at Fred, George, Travis and Connor, and they all smiled evilly. We headed towards the minister's office, and I was dreading what was about to happen.

After raiding the Minister's private stash, we headed towards the headquarters of the Order, where we were going to be staying for the holidays. We had had a change of plans, and weren't going back to Camp. THEY WERE COMING TO US.

I didn't have enough energy to shadow-travel again but then Dumbledore and Mrs. Weasley arrived, and so they just apparated us out. As we all held hands, I caught a glimpse of Draco's father glaring at Hermione. Ha, loser.

We tumbled out at the front steps of Number 12, Grimmauld Place, and we quickly went inside. Percy whispered something to Jason, who smiled, and then whispered it to Mrs. Weasley, who gladly accepted…. Whatever they were saying.

Percy said "Alright, dem-AMERICANS, gather up!" I noticed the slip-up, and that Harry was glaring at us suspiciously, before he walked out. Then we gathered in a circle, and Percy cleared his throat.

"Alright, demigods, Jason and I just volunteered to decorate Number 12 for Christmas! So, Piper, call your mom down here, we're going to need a LOT of supplies." Piper nodded, and we started to work.

(I'm going to write it in the Truth or Dare style because that makes it easier.)

Jason and Thalia: *flies around decorating the Christmas tree and stringing lights through the house, then uses powers to light up decorations*

Piper: *charmspeaks Fred, George, Travis, Connor and Ron to go out shopping and shooting food out of her cornucopia*

Annabeth, Luna and Hermione: *organizes everything*

Hazel: *makes red, white and green gems appear, and uses the Mist to make everything sparkle*

Leo: *builds a legit sleigh and a present factory and the most elaborate christmas decorations anyone had ever seen*

Frank: *turns into a reindeer and helps Leo*

Raven, Draco and I: *controls the shadows to make ornaments*

Grover, Juniper, Neville and Katie: *creates mistletoe everywhere*

Percy: *waters plants* I WANT EVERYTHING TO BE BLUEEEE

The Egyptians: *helps decorate the tree*

Magnus and Alex: *trying to get Jack to help and stop hitting on Riptide*

Sam, Blitz and Hearth: *also decorating the tree, and playing christmas carols on her phone*

Reyna: *makes fancy Mexican desserts*

(Please tell me if I missed anyone, because I feel like I did….)

Then Aphrodite appeared, along with a bunch of Christmas outfits, and baking supplies. She said "Alright, let's get this party started!" And started making macarons. She made some macarons for everyone, based on their interests (I'm going to let you imagine what they look like.)

Mrs. Weasley walked in in the middle of our decorating process and said "Do you need any help-NOOOOOOO I don't think you need any help. I'm…. just going to go now." She eyed Aphrodite, and then she sprinted out of the dining hall where we were currently decorating.

Once we had finished decorating, we headed to Harry's room. Ron and Hermione really wanted to show him their decorations, and I think Ginny wanted to get back together, but that all changed when we saw what he was up to.

He wasn't in his room, and so we searched the house, trying to find him. We found him in Percy and Annabeth's room (their PTSD was back), digging through their drawers. Luckily, we had put a curse on all of our luggage, so that only we could open it, but he was sure trying.

Percy had a curse on his that burned whoever tried to open it, unless they were a child of Poseidon. Harry had been burned 4 times before, and then he tried to open it again, failing. He tried to find a key, but since Percy's godly parentage was his key, he, of course, failed, and so just continued trying to pry it open with his wand.

Percy yelled "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! THAT'S MY STUFF!" Harry jumped, just noticing that we had been watching him for the last 5 minutes. He said "It's not what you think it is!"

Percy said, squinting at him, "Then what were you doing?" He scratched the back of his head, and then regretted it, because his hand was bright red. "Uh… I ….was….uh….." But then, Magnus said "Hold up! This room can only be entered by…."

And then I realized. We had bewitched all of our rooms so that only demigods or satyrs or Egyptian magicians could enter. We all significantly paled, after the realization. That means…

"He's one of us." Jason said.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AND THAT'S ALL YOU GET UNTIL FRIDAY! I'm just making life interesting for you guys, also because you can handle it. Anyway, give me some song ideas that you would like to hear in this story, like CabineSixResident did. Anyway, FOLLOW, FAVORITE, REVIEW, PM!
