Chapter 34

ChArAcTeR aNd PlOt DeVeLoPmEnT

All I have to say is that we only have a few chapters left, though the end battle might take a while, and maybe an epilogue, so hold on tight. I'll probably update a few times in the next few weeks, winter break is great. DID ANY OF YOU SEE THE SPN FINALE? THAT WAS THE WORST ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN OH MY GODS! But the fix-it fics are amazing… Anyway, REVIEWERS!

Aku tidak memiliki apa pun, sialan, tapi aku meminta mereka untuk Natal, jadi doakan aku beruntung!

Harry's POV

In the following couple weeks, things were stressful. On one hand, the end-of-the-year tests were happening, as well as planning the rescue mission with the Americans.

I'm sure the teachers could tell how frazzled (love that word) we all were, so they put in more brain breaks than they usually would. For that, I was eternally grateful.

The Americans spent almost all of their time preparing for our trip next week, since they didn't have as many exams as we did, and the ones that they did have weren't normal (sword fighting, climbing, swimming, spellcasting, something that tested their demigod abilities, stuff like that).

Leo had put the pegasi that Percy summoned into the horse stables that the Argo II apparently had (they weren't happy about that).

Hazel, Nico, Draco, and Raven, who had arrived last week, were trying to build up stamina for the shadow-travelling.

Everyone else was buying the most premium brooms they could find (courtesy of Hazel and the underworld kids. Hades' kids sure spent a loooooooooooooot of money), and finding a ton of flying creatures. I didn't understand why we couldn't just use the Argo II, but, oh well, they have their own methods, and from what I've heard, saved the world more times than I could count, sooo…

Damnit. This was going to be a long week.

Ciara's POV (there you go)

After spilling out my traumatic and depressing backstory to Fiona, we sat there in silence.

I mean, I barely knew anything about her, besides the fact that she had some freaky legs and jumped from a three-story building without breaking those horrifying legs of hers, and here I was confessing my life's ambition to her in the middle of a Chipotle.

She asked a few questions, acted suspiciously, and looked at me like she was peering into my soul. What was that about? I mean, I can kind of condense shadows, but that wasn't shocking to her at all.

I stood up and we headed awkwardly out of the Chipotle. Fiona hobbled quietly towards my car, but…. Where were we going to go? We were being pursued by a demon dog, so obviously my apartment wasn't safe anymore.

"You got any ideas of places we can go?" I asked her once we got in the car. Fiona nodded, and said "Can I drive? I know where it is, it's kind of hidden and hard to find…"

I motioned to the steering wheel as a sign of 'Yeah, sure, I don't care at all'. She climbed over from where she was already sitting shotgun (cuz she was too lazy to get out and walk around. I could relate) and into the driver's seat.

I blushed softly. Wait, what? WHY AM I BLUSHING STOP ME NO BAD (help how do write lesbian).

After mentally slapping myself, I climbed into the front seat and she started the car.

"I must warn you, I am… not the safest driver. I don't like taking things slowly, so I don't do it with my driving. Just… don't freak out." She said sheepishly.

That didn't reassure me, but I managed to nod before she started driving out of the parking lot.

Well, he goes nothing.

We pulled out onto the road and we drove in silence until I couldn't take it anymore and turned on the radio.

'Bring me to Life' by Evanescence started playing and Fiona said "Oh! I love this song!" I didn't know what to make of that.

The second the music started building up, she slowed down, and I knew what that meant.

"No nO NO NO NO" I yelled but I was too late. It said 'WAKE ME UP' and she slammed the gas pedal as hard as she could, speeding off.

I frantically looked over at the speedometer. It said '187 mph'. "fuCK FUCK STOP" I screamed as she sang the lyrics just as loud.

After about two minutes of screaming and speeding, she arrived at the place she was talking about, even though she had mentioned that it was going to take 4 hours. WHY?

"We're here!"

Harry's POV

*TIME SKIP*

Finally, the day we planned to leave arrived!

We had plans to stay overnight in a little motel Hazel had found, so I needed to pack a suitcase.

As I was folding the one jacket that I owned, Ron walked in, bearing his suitcase, which was covered in multicolored butterflies and flowers (sorry, in my mind, Ron is adorable and into things I was really into when I was nine).

"Ready to go? Leo is assigning methods of transportation right now, and I assumed you didn't want to be stuck with thestrals." Ron asked, smiling and looking around at the disaster I had made.

"Yeah, just about, I was just finishing up. Go on ahead, and tell Leo I really don't mind what I get, except shadow-travel, still not super comfortable with that…"

He nodded, and skipped out the door, humming a song I didn't recognize. I didn't understand how he could be so upbeat about the almost certain impending doom we were about to face. Well, there were a lot of things I didn't understand about Ron.

After finishing my packing, I hauled my Gryffindor suitcase out of my dormitory and rushed downstairs, desperately trying to make it in time for something decent.

*timeo skipio*

I ended up getting brooms, so that was amazing. Leo felt that that was the one I would feel most comfortable with. He's right, of course.

I mounted my Firebolt, along with Jason, Frank, who had turned into an eagle, Ron and Ginny.

Why oh why did it have to be Ginny. As if things weren't awkward enough, now we're going to be soaring through the clear blue sky, basically alone, with the wind whipping through our hair. Talk about the normal cliche place in wizarding romance novels to confess feelings, not like I read them or anything like that. Heheheh…

We took off, and prepared for the long, silent trip that was ahead of us.

A month without uploading she comes back with a tag… I know, I know, it's been forever, but PLOT PLOT PLOTTTTT. And yes, I know, the part with Ciara and Fiona was stupid, but I wanted to do that, sue me. Wait no don't sue me I have no money. Also, how do write gay help. FOLLOW, FAVORITE, REVIEW!
