Chapter nine

Jay POV

It was finally midnight. Draco had sneaked out of the infirmary at half eleven and the rest of his gang arrived soon after, it was Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Draco and a girl called Annie. And on the other team, Me, Nico, Will, Thalia and Reyna. I had taught them some spells for duelling, they didn't seem to know many, and they were quite good at them. But Malfoy was a brilliant dueller, and so were his friends, although I think that Crabbe and Goyle are just shields. So when Nico asked if we should go easy on them, I just stared at him like, 'What?' and he was like, 'OK then. We will'. I could tell this was going to end badly.

Nico POV

The Ferret and his gang had just arrived, and now we were all sorted into groups and in partners, I was with the Ferret, that girl Annie was with Will, Reyna with Crabbe, Thalia with Goyle, and Jay with Pansy. This was going to be fun.

"So Ferret," I said, "shall we start this fight?"

Draco replied by shooting a spell, just a simple one, and with my ADHD, I dodged it easily.

"Expelliarmus!" I shouted, knocking Malfoy's wand out of his hand.

"Flipendo!" Pansy shouted, but Jay dodged and shot the same spell back, hitting the girl in her chest.

"Avis" Some birds came out of Will's wand, "Oppugno!" the birds attacked Annie, she dodged it and hit him with Expelliarmus, his wand flew out of his hand and onto a bed, he rushed to get it, dodging spells as he did so.

"Stupify!" Reyna shouted at the same time as Thalia, both of their spells hitting their targets at exactly the same time.

Crabbe and Goyle fell down, hitting each other on the way.

Then I saw that Draco had his wand back, Crap,i thought, how didn't I notice? He shot s stunning charm at Malfoy, hitting him square in the chest, and soon enough, Pansy and Annie were stunned too. The fight was won.

But before they could do anything, the door was swung open by none other than Professor Snake. Jay had told Nico about him, and he sounded like a dick. So he had decided to call him Snake instead of Snape.

"What, is going on here?" Snake asked, his voice dripping venom, his black eyes scanning the students passed out on the ground.

"A Duel?" he turned to face me, "This was your doing Di Angelo?"

"Sort of."

"Sort of Sir"

"I don't call anyone Sir, well, except my dad that is."

Snake growled, then turned so that he was facing all of us.

"Hunter, Solace, Di Angelo, Grace, Ramírez-Arellano. Detention, meet Hagrid by his hut this Friday at 7.30 sharp. Do not be late." and with that, he left.

We all just looked at each other for a few minuets, then Jay spoke.

"You can come out now Arya." he turned to the bathroom, a small squeak came from inside and a girl opened the door. I had seen her before, but only now did I realize blue here eyes were, they were like Thalia's. Sky blue, she walked towards Jay and said,

"How did you know I was there?"

"I saw you before I Flipendo'd Annie, not easy to hide glowing hair is it?"

"Glowing hair?" Will asked her "My hair glows sometimes, like when I'm happy or exited, and sometimes anxious too."

"Maybe you're long lost siblings." Jay joked.

'Maybe they are... she could be a daughter of Apollo... maybe there are Demigods here after all. Maybe Jay's a demigod, it would have to be his mum I guess, and that could be why he lives with his aunt now.'

"Yeah right." Thalia said, turning to Arya, "You should go before Snape sees you too."

"Yeah, I guess I should." said Arya, turning to leave. "Bye guys, see you tomorrow Will and Thalia." and with that, she left.

Thalia and Will left soon too, and Reyna had to go to her room. The other boys were all back and me and Jay had got in bed too. It had been a long day, and as I fell asleep, I just hoped I wouldn't have any dreams...

I looked around, I was in the pit again, right by the river of fire, I remembered the taste of it, burning it's way down my throat. Then I realized there were two people in front of me, Bianca and Will.

'You killed me Nico, it's all your fault.' Bianca told me.

'No! Bia! It wasn't me! Please! You have to listen!'

'why should I little brother? You are nothing, father preferred me for a reason you know.' then she disappeared, and I was calling out her name to the mist, begging her to come back. Then Will spoke.

'Why Nico? Why did you think that I could ever love someone like, like you.' he said, 'You're worthless, everyone thinks so. And it's true.'

Nico cried out at Will, yelling random things that he couldn't understand, then someone stabbed Will from behind, Will looked at him, and spoke his last words,

'I could never love you.'

Those words broke Nico, along with loosing Bia again, seeing Will die, and being in the pit again, it broke him. He crumpled to the floor and cried, he screamed, he picked up the knife that had killed Will and tried to kill himself, but it faded away, it always did. It was the same almost every night. And nothing made it stop, then it haunted him through the day, reminding him that the night would only bring this again. Tonight wasn't that bad, but it could get much, much worse...

Jay POV

I woke up to a ear-shattering scream. So loud that the entire school must have heard it. But the others were all asleep, it seemed that I was the only one who heard it. I looked around, it seemed to have come from Nico, he was thrashing in his covers, crying, shouting out names, the same to names over and over, 'Bia' and 'Will'. Was he having a nightmare? He jumped out of bed and ran over to his friend. Then started to shake him and yell his name, until he finally woke up.

"Jay... where, where am I?" Nico managed.

"Your in your bed in Slytherin, and your fine, your safe, your OK."

"I was, I was in the-" Nico seemed to realize were he was and who he was with.

"The what?" Jay asked him.

"Nothing, it's nothing."

"Well it's obviously something isn't it?"

Nico stared at him for a few moments before sighing,

"What I'm going to tell you, you can't tell anyone, OK?"

"Um, yeah?"

"What do you know about Greek mythology?"

A/N-I'm really sorry that this was so bad and rushed, I might redo it later on or something... but I'm gonna go to bed now, it's 2am.
