Chapter 6-Dungeons and Dragons
Annabeth
I looked at the dark forest. Beside me is Percy and Draco. He finally decided to help us if we didn't tell the staff, even Dumbledore, that they are demigods. We sat down and glancing for any dark figures. I heard some ruffling behind me in the bush. I whipped around with a knife in hand. But a girl with white-blonde hair and pale-silvery gray eyes. She had on weird colorful glasses and a wand in her hand.
I exclaimed, "Luna? What are you doing here?"
She responded in a wispy voice, "Didn't Draco and Neville tell you?"
I turned towards Draco, who gulped at the stiff knife in my hand. Percy came to his rescue and slowly lowered my hand. Draco put his hands up and said sweetly, "But sis, does it really matter that we disclosed this information? Neville and I both knew you would find out eventually, but-"
"But, but. But what?"
Luna broke in, "What are you guys doing here?"
Percy puffed his chest, "We are here to help protect Harry-"
Luna waved her hand, "I know that. What are you guys doing in front of the forest?"
I smiled, "We are just watching to see if anyone comes."
Draco and Percy all of a sudden flattened us towards the ground. I whispered, "What was that for?"
Draco looked around into the fields and at a lit hut, "Potter went inside Hagrid's hut. Something's up."
Percy questioned, "Who's Hagrid?"
"A half-giant. Don't worry he is really nice," said Luna.
Draco motioned with his hand for us to follow as he trekked towards the hut.
We tiptoed behind him, ducking in bushes and behind trees. We all hid behind a huge pumpkin patch. I looked through a window and saw Harry with a weird cloak and a huge shaggy man.
The man said in a deep rough voice, "Harry follow behind me with your invisibility cloak. It is 'bout the tournament."
"Okay Hagrid."
Hagrid came out without Harry in sight. Hmm, Leo would want an invisibility cloak. I wish I still had my Daedalus laptop. I could make an algorithm or something. Percy shook me, "You alright."
"Yeah. Yeah, just fine." Draco mumbled, "Luna and I could stay here. You guys follow Potter."
"Why don't we all come?" asked Percy.
Draco shook his head, "When Potter finds this out, his little gang will get revenge and look at why I'm there. Could ruin my identity. Come on sis, let's go." Luna hopped along and they hid themselves away.
Percy whistled, "How about that. You have two siblings here. How could you not know?"
"Shut up Percy."
We hiked our way through the forest. Hagrid every once in awhile looked around as if sensing our presence. After half an hour, we have arrived to an inferno. Dragons or dinosaurs of many different colors were breathing flaming hot fire at men holding ropes. They yelled at each other to hold down the animals.
Another woman taller than Hagrid came out in a beautiful dress. Hagrid seemed to be blushing along with the flames of love. I mumbled, "Percy. These dragons are the first challenge."
Ron
"Blimey, Harry. Dragons!"
Hermione whispered worriedly, "Harry. That is really hard. You shouldn't even participate!"
Harry huffed, "I have to Hermione. It's in the rules."
"I never thought you would follow the rules for once!"
I snickered in response but Hermione whipped around, "You too Ron!"
Harry asked, "Did you find the Americans?"
I shook my head, "They were sneaky little things."
Hermione sighed, "No, Ron. It took me forever to wake you up! I followed them. They separated into different groups and went off. I followed Piper and Jason. They went outside the grounds and started walking around. They had these weird glowing weapons at hand. Then all of a sudden these weird shadowy dogs came out of nowhere."
I yelled, "WHAT!"
She sighed again, "Yes. They kept on yelling about hellhounds. So I ran to the library and researched them. They are children of the goddess Nyx and Cerberus."
Harry scratched his head, "What is Cerberus."
"The guard dog of the Underworld. But the interesting thing is that it is Greek Mythology. So called myths."
Harry suggested, "Perhaps we should question them about it."
Hermione shook her head, "That's a good idea but we can't afford to reveal we are on to them."
I asked, "So are you saying that we kidnap them?"
"No! Ronald, how can you think that! We should ask Dumbledore!"
Harry groaned, "But Hermione!"
"Yes! Ronald and I will investigate more and you can prepare for your tournament. Afterwards, we will confront Dumbledore."
"Deal."
We made our way to DADA. At the end of the class, Moody asked for Harry to see him. So Hermione grabbed me towards the library. Books were piled high on end towards the ceiling. Dust collected downwards and fell like mini snowflakes.
Hermione started grabbing books frantically and pushing them to my not waiting arms. I nearly fell over in surprise. She whispered, "Go put them on a table."
I heaved and dropped the load on a random table. A monotone and dignified voice asked, "Weasley, what are you doing?"
I looked over the pile to see the egotistical Malfoy. He was alone and was reading a thick dusty book in a weird language.
I puffed my chest, "I'm sitting at this table."
Draco stared at me and sighed. His book slammed shut with a loud bang. "Fine. Weasley. Enjoy the books. You could use the brains Weasley."
He sauntered off with his chin raising high in the air. Hermione came back towards my table with her arms full of more books and parchments.
She started sorting the books and when she noticed I was staring at her antics. "What are you doing just staring there Ronald! Help me out!"
We were reading for a good hour. More like Hermione read and I stared off into space. Annabeth dragged Percy into the table and dropped him at the table. Hermione blushed at Percy as he smiled at her. Hermione then composed herself and asked nervously, "What are you guys doing here?"
Annabeth grinned, "Just doing some research. Had to drag Percy along. He had nothing to do. Everyone else was going off to do their own thing."
Percy groaned, "You mean training and having fun, ever heard of it?"
Hermione let out a forced laugh and I gave her a cursory glance. She shut up and returned to her reading. Annabeth looked at the book over her shoulder and asked, "Greek Mythology?"
Hermione blushed at Percy's intrigued stare and nodded, "Yeah. Just some light reading. It is just so interesting." Nice lie.
Annabeth got out a book. I read the title, "Dragons and their history."
The girl smiled softly, "Yeah. Just some light reading as well."
Hermione glanced at me and jerked her head over to an empty table. I tilted my head in confusion. Hermione sighed and dragged my hand towards to table. She sneered, "Did Harry tell Annabeth about the tournament challenge?"
"You are just being paranoid, 'Ermione."
"But, no. They somehow know. Maybe they followed Harry, but that's impossible. They couldn't possibly know. Unless, they eavesdropped on us. Or is something else at play."
I crossed my arms, "Are you done ranting off?"
Hermione huffed and stormed back towards the table and grabbed her book. Annabeth warily asked, "Are you leaving already?"
She cast a cursory smile, "Sorry. I promised to meet Viktor Krum, later."
Annabeth waved, "Have fun." She glanced at her companion who was sleeping and drooling slightly down his shirt. Hermione dragged me again through the stone halls of the castle. I narrowed my eyes, "Are you really going to meet Krum?"
"What is your problem Ron? And yes, I really am." She started twirling her haid and blushing at the grounds where Krum was. He jogged over and said in a thick accent, "Hello, 'Ermione. How are you doin'"
"Great." Krum frowned slightly at me and I knew I was not wanted. I walked over to a lake where the rest of the Americans were talking. They stopped talking and stared at me as I dropped onto the soft grass. "Can I hang out with you guys?"
Piper with her beautiful eyes said in a soft voice like a flute, "Sure."
I hoped you enjoyed that! I am sorry for the late updates. I was super busy this weekend. Enjoy your day!-hope4all
