Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Piper, Jason, Leo, Frank, and Hazel all stood with their hands on their hips, demanding to know what was going on.

"Why did that Harry kid lie about their names at first?" Frank started off.

"He's been a little paranoid ever since his huge interaction with Voldemort. Don't take it personally," Will answered.

"Who cares about that!" Thalia yelled. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, it's kind of a long story." Nico's eyes clouded, and once again, he fell into his flashback.

It was so long ago. Nico and Bianca were in the Lotus Casino Hotel, trapped, not knowing what was going on in the world or whether or not it was 1924 or 2024. It was then, that a letter arrived. By owl.

Bianca P.O.V. in flashback

I remember when I got my letter, inviting me to Hogwarts. That was when I was broken out of the Lotus trance. I really wanted to go, but I couldn't leave Nico. Now, watching hope rise in him, I encourage him to go. He needs to be free of this life we were cursed with. I help him pack his bag, and before I know it, he is gone.

A wizard had come and picked him up but left me behind. I couldn't go now. I'll miss him so much, but all I want is him to be happy.

Back to Nico flashback.

The mysterious wizard took Nico to Diagon Alley to get school supplies, then to the Hogwarts Express. On the train, nobody sat with him, thinking he looked dark and weird. Then the compartment door opened, and in walked in Will. Throughout the year, they became best friends, Nico in Slytherin, and Will in Hufflepuff, but the friendship worked all the same.

After the first year, Nico went to overnight camp with Bianca, and Will went home, where a satyr brought him to Camp-Half Blood for the summer. When the summer was gone, Bianca went back to the Lotus Casino and the boys once again were besties at Hogwarts. When summer came again, Will went back to Camp, and Nico went to overnight again. There, Percy, disguised as a camper at the camp dance saved Bianca and Nico from a monster and took them to Camp-Half Blood.

Then second year passed, then the next summer, and third year, and so on. This had gone on for seven years.
