Jay POV

Nico had asked me to meet him, Reyna, Thalia and Will outside the room of requirement at 10.35pm. It was 10.30 now and Jay was nervous about getting caught by Filch or Mrs Norris. He didn't want another detention after all. He already had the one tomorrow, but it was almost the weekend after all, so that was good. He waited for a few more minuets, then they finally arrived, a door appeared In the wall. Thalia opened it and we all walked in. it was a large room the size of the great hall, there was armour and weapons neatly arranged on the tables that lined one of the walls. The ground was short grass and there were plates of some kind of food on a smaller table by another door that had a 'shower' sign above it. It was an an amazing place, but why were they here? To train?

It turned out they were there to train.

"Grab a sword and some armour," Nico said, "Then you three go train while I work with Jay." he pointed at the others and they nodded in agreement. We all walked over to the tables and I picked up a bronze sword and some armour, Will helped me pick the right stuff while the others kitted up. Once we were done, me and Nico walked over to a small dip in the ground I hadn't seen before, he was wearing full black armour and held a black sword that seemed to have shadows wrapped around it. I had some bronze armour made of what Will had told me was Celestial Bronze, and a bronze sword made of the same thing, I also had a belt with silver throwing knives that would always return to their sheaths on it. Nico had something similar but the knives were a mixture of silver and black. He showed me a few moves then asked me to attack him. He had me on the floor within a matter of seconds, dam he was good. (Another dam reference!XD) I grabbed a knife and from my belt and stabbed him in his arm, he dodged it by leaping back and giving me time to get up. He stabbed at me with his sword and I blocked it with mine, then, holding on to my sword with only one hand, I threw another knife at him and hit his arm. He hissed in pain for a moment then removed them knife and threw it back at me, I barely dodged it in time. He tried to hit me with his sword again, and this time it hit home. The black blade pierced the skin and muscle on my leg and warm blood stated oozing from the wound. I felt like I had been stabbed repeatedly by a burning hot knife. I shouted out in pain and fell over. Nico pulled out his sword helped me sit up.

"You alright?" he asked, holding out a square of something for me to eat.

"Yeah." I took the square and ate it, I immediately felt ten times better, I looked at my leg and the cut was already scaring up, then the scar disappeared. Wow, that was cool.

"Thanks, how did you do that?"

"It's ambrosia, the food of the gods," he explained, "Demigods can eat it but not too much, and if you're mortal... you burn from the inside out."

"Sounds nice." I said.

He grinned and helped me up, we fought for a few more hours, it always ending with me on the floor bleeding or knocked out. Once we were done I put away my armour and sword, keeping the knife belt but casting a spell to make it invisible to mortals and muggles. Then I had a shower and changed into my clothes. They were in surprisingly good condition.

Nico shadow-traveled him, me and Reyna outside the Slytherin common room, while Will and Thalia walked back to Gryffindor. We said the password and walked in, the late studiers looking at us tiredly as if to wonder why we were only just getting back. We went our separate ways, Reyna going to the girls dorms, me and Nico to the Boys.

As I lay in bed, I thought about the events of the day, and what it meant for the future.

Will POV

When I woke up that night, I heard a sharp scream. My first thought was that it was Neeks having a nightmare, but then I remembered that he was in a different dorm. I looked around in the dim light and saw Ron sitting upright in bed, a look of terror on his face. He had stopped screaming and Harry was standing next to his bed asking him what was wrong, I walked over and asked if he was hurt. Thankfully he wasn't, but by the time he had recovered enough to talk, Professor McGonagall was there leading him down to the common room, where it seemed most of Gryffindor house was waiting. Ron started explaining how he had woken up to a noise, and that he had seen Sirius Black standing over him with a knife, hang on, who was Sirius Black? Oh yeah, the guy the Dementors wanted... so why would he be trying to kill Ron? Turns out that he got in because Neville left the password on a piece of paper and he stole it, great.

Time skip because why not

Will was walking over to Nico at the Slytherin table when he bumped into the girl, she was short with blond hair, she had blue eyes and was in Ravenclaw, she looked around 13.

"Oh, sorry!" she apologized, "I'm Stacy, Stacy Jones."

"Nah, it's fine" I told her, "Will Solace."
"You're one of the Americans right?"

"Yeah,"

"Cool, what school did you go to?"

Shit, uh what was it again?

"Um, Chiron's school for Half-Bloods..." was that it? He couldn't really remember...

"I haven't heard of that before..." she sounded suspicious. Thankfully he was saved by another Ravenclaw girl coming and dragging Stacy away, apologizing for her friend as she did so.

I walked over to Nico, Reyna and Jay, and asked Nico to come with me a second.

We walked away from the others and I grew more nervous with every step we took. Once we were out of eyesight and earshot I said,

"Uh, um, Neeks?" I said

"Yes?" Nico looked amused.

"... Do you, uh doyouwannagoonadatewithme?" I said quickly, a sense of dread rushing over me as I blushed a deep red.

"Uh, um, y-yeah." Neeks said, blushing violently.

I grinned and hugged him, he stood frozen for a second then pulled away,

"What-what do you think you're doing?!" he sounded angry.

"What's wrong Neeks?" I asked him, trying not to sound upset.

"I don't really want people to know were going out..." he trailed of and looked down.

"Neeks, look at me." I turned his head back to me, "It's fine OK?"

"You don't need to be embarrassed by me Neeks."

"I'm not! I just don't want this whole school to know OK?!"
"That's fine Nico, you just had to tell me."

"Sorry."

"Don't be, it's fine." he gave me a small smile and said,

"7pm this Saturday, OK?"

I grinned, seemed I wasn't the only nervous one.
