The Great Hall, Hogwarts

Harry

Harry was trying to process all of his thoughts. Eerie-bis? de-me? titan? god? He wasn't sure what they meant, but he was determined to find out. Harry approached Percy. "Uh... hi," Harry said.

"Hi?" Percy replied.

"Boy, wouldn't it be funny if there was real gods of darkness?" Harry asked, clumsily. Percy looked confused.

"Uh... yeah. I guess?" Percy answered, halfheartedly.

"What roo-oh yeah, that room," Percy answered. "Probably. We didn't go there again."

"Can you show me where it is?" Annabeth asked.

"Sure," Percy replied. They went up the stairs and down a winding passageway. Finally, they reached the entrance. "Here it is," Percy announced. He opened the door. It didn't open. "Huh, it was open when me and Jason went in," he said.

"Odd," Annabeth replied. "I wonder if..."
