Hi! Sorry the chapter is so short.

Also, Rae isn't an up-for-adoption OC, because she's my OC. But I'll still be happy to put in anyone else's OCs.

Also, if they play quidditch, let me know what House and what position, because Rae is a Ravenclaw Beater, and the captain of her quidditch team. (I honestly can't remember who any of the Ravenclaw players were, so I'm just here, hoping I can get away with this.)

Also, if you want to see my family's trip to the Philippines, go to YouTube and look up PinkPiggychu. If you can't find it, just add "Little Philippine Trip" to the searchbar.

Alright, here we go!

Hermione led the boys to the library, much to their dismay.

"Hermione, it's..." Ron trailed off, thinking about the time. "Really early in the morning!"

"Oh, shush, Ron. It's not like we're practicing for Quidditch," Hermione chided him. When she wasn't paying attention, Ron leaned close to Harry and whispered: "I would rather be practicing for Quidditch."

Harry silently agreed.

Finally, they made it to the library, where Hermione told the boys what kind of books to look for. While Ron was exploring an isle, he saw a girl with wavy shoulder-length black hair reading a book on Norse gods. He decided to ask her if she knew anything about the Greek ones, since that's what Hermione had sent him to look for.

What? He was getting the information, wasn't he? Anything you can find in a book, you can find by asking a bookworm.

"Excuse me?" he asked her. She looked up from her book and stared at him with piercing blue eyes.

"Yes?" she asked.

"I couldn't help but notice what book you're reading," Ron said. "Norse gods. Interesting."

"Yes, they are," she agreed skeptically.

"Would you happen to know anything about the Greek gods?" Ron asked her. The girl nodded vigorously.

"Of course. They're my favorite gods," she said. She stood up and offered him her hand. He shook it.

"Rae Sparrow, third year Ravenclaw."

"Ron Weasley, seventh year Gryffindor," he said back. She led him to a back section of the library, which was filled with all sorts of books about gods.

"This is the mythology section," she said. "I come back here all the time."

"Is there anything back here about demigods?" Ron asked. His heart swelled with hope when she nodded again.

"Yes, actually. This book, right here."

She pulled a big blue book from the shelf, handing it carefully to Ron.

"Demigods are the half-human, half-god offspring of the Olympians," Rae told him. "Sometimes, they inherit the powers of their godly parent."

"What kinds of powers?" Ron asked her. She shrugged.

"I don't know. I suppose we'd have to meet some and ask them," she said. Ron thanked her for her help and met back up with Harry and Hermione. They sat together at a private table so they could talk in secret.

"Half-human? Does that apply to witches and wizards, or just Muggles?" Harry asked him. Ron shrugged.

"Dunno. But if Hermione is right, and those Americans are demigods, then that means they could have some pretty weird powers."

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I'm right," Hermione said, pointing to a section from one of the pages in the book. "Look here:

"Demigods didn't usually live long and prosperous. Their lives were wrought with tragedy, and, more often that not, an early death.

However, because they had the blood of the gods, they were also granted unfathomable powers and a high tolerance to certain afflictions of pain. There are records from ancient Greek philosophers such as Homer telling of legendary feats of heroism from such people, including the feats of Hercules, Jason, and Perseus."

"I won't even get upset about how incorrect that is. I mean, really, Hercules? That was his Roman name!" Hermione said. Harry and Ron shared a look, which didn't go unnoticed by Hermione.

"Alright, fine. Ron, where did you find this book?" she asked him.

"A Ravenclaw pointed out a whole section of the library dedicated to Mythology," Ron said, pointing in the direction he got the book from. Hermione headed back there, grabbing more books.

"Do you think we should check on them now?" Ron asked. Harry shrugged.

"Maybe when Hermione is finished in here," he said, but Ron snorted.

"Mate, this is Hermione in a library. She'll be in here all day," he said.

"True..."

"Come on. Let's go tell her we'll check on them, then we can go," Ron said. Harry sighed in defeat.

"Alright, fine."
