Chapter fifteen

Nico POV

Sirius Black, escaped convict, murderer, animagus, was in the same room as us. Was I worried? Of course not, bot for my self, but for Will? Hell yeah, I had travelled through Tartarus, but Will wasn't a very good fighter, Nico could defend him of course, but it would be better if Will got out of here, I could just shadow-travel us both away, heck, he might not even see us!

I grabbed for Will's hand and held my breath, so did Will. I concentrated hard on the shadows, I only wanted to shadow-travel Will, not myself, I knew I could do it, just not how hard it would be. I concentrated a bit harder, and Will disappeared, gasping at me, and shouting,
"Nico!" loudly at the last second. I fell over onto my hands and knees as the wizard walked towards me, he looked down at me and I met his eyes, he growled softly and spoke quietly,

"What are you doing here? Who are you?"

"Why should I answer either of those questions?" I reached for my dagger, then paused, what if he had charms of defence around him? Crap, I should've left with Will.

"Answer my questions boy!" he was losing his temper, I could tell. I decided to play it safe,

"Nico, Nico Di Angelo, Slytherin, third year. And as for what I'm doing here, hanging out with my friend, you?"

"Who's your friend?"
"Will Solace, Gryffindor, third year."

"Well, never thought I would see the day that a Gryffindor and a Slytherin would be friends... now, you have two options, I can oblviate you, or you can die."

I smirked at him and stood up, "How about," I got ready to shadow-travel, "neither." I entered the shadows and came out in the library, right next to Will who was pacing the floor anxiously.

"Neeks!" Will hugged me tightly and I blushed, "What were you thinking! You could disappear!"

"It was fine Will! It's been almost four months since the war!"

"War? You were in a war?" a voice said behind us.

I turned around to see none other than Harry Potter standing behind us, well wasn't this just brilliant!

"Um, no?" I tried, unsuccessfully.

"But, but you're only 13!"

"Um, yeah?"

"There was a war in America?! Since when?!"#

"Uh, bye!" I grabbed Will's arm and we ran off. Well, wasn't that just brilliant.

Harry POV

time skip alert!

It was 5pm, Ron and Hermione had gotten back a few hours ago, and we had just eaten dinner. Now I could tell them what I had been itching to since they got back. A lot of other kids were still outside, and we were the only ones in the common room, I turned to my best friends, my face serous.

"Guys, I need to tell you something." I said.

"Yeah?" Ron said.

"Well, you know those exchange students? I think there's something up with them,"

"Why?" said Hermione.
"a few reasons; one- they had a flipping duel with Malfoy. Two- I heard that Nico kid saying something about a War. Three- Will seems to disappear a lot. Three- I saw Will and Nico just appear! Out of know-were, and you can't apperate inside on Hogwarts!"

"Wait, what did it look like when they appeared out of know-were?" Hermione asked me.

"Uh, sort of like they were coming out of the shadows?"

"I need to go to the library!" Hermione was up and out of the room within seconds, well, it was to be expected.

"So, what do we do?" Ron asked.

I was about to reply when Will, Thalia, Reyna, Nico and a Slytherin I didn't recognize walked in through the portrait.

"Slytherins aren't aloud in here!" Ron shouted.

"Why not?" Reyna asked.

"Because it's Gryffindor!" this seemed perfectly obvious to me.

"Guys, lets just go somewhere else." Will said.

"I think we should be aloud in here, but fine. Lets go." Nico said as they walked away.

"Ron..."

"Yeah?"

"Let's follow them."
Ron grinned and nodded, then I grabbed my invisibility cloak, and we slipped under it. We stepped out of the portrait, and followed the other kids.

Hermione POV

I grabbed the book and hauled it onto the table, I wasn't sure, but I had a guess to what was different about the new kids. I opened the book, and read the contents. Chapter twenty. I turned the pages, and then started to read.

Demigod, singular. Demigods, plural.

Burn food before eating.

Wow. So, were the new kids Demigods? Who was It who had shadow-traveled? What could the others do? This was a lot of information, she needed to tell Harry and Ron, now. She checked out the book, and ran back to the common room, only to find that Harry and Ron weren't there. She sat down and read the book waiting for her friends to get back. Around 7pm, they came back, saying they had tried and failed to follow the new kids. Hermione told and showed them the new information they had found out, and the three of them decided to investigate further tomorrow. They went up to their separate dorms, and Hermione hid the book under her bed, Thalia got back around 8pm, and soon, everyone in the room was asleep. Only to be woken up a few hours later by a piercing scream.
