Chapter 5
Hermione Granger
I was certainly not ready for this.
I did not like that Di Angelo kid! He was too dark...
And too gorgeous.
'Stop it, hormones.'
"Excuse me!" I glared at Di Angelo as I pushed him away.
"What? I'm sorry for taking the dare." he replied, sarcastically.
I stood up and went to the girls' dormitory.
"What about your turn, Hermione?" Thalia called.
I slammed the door behind me.
Why did Nico have to kiss me? It was Honey's fault. I didn't like Nico that way. I just think he'd be a nice boy and could be my friend. Not a possible contestant to be my boyfriend.
Why am I even thinking about this? The kiss shouldn't have an effect on me. It was just a dare.
But I can not deny that I liked the taste of his soft lips.
I felt his skin and it was cold, but his lips were another story. His lips were warm, and it just made my heart soften, even a little, from his attitude.
That Nico was something.
And I kind of like it.
The next day, I woke up to the knocking on my door.
Groggily, I stood up and answered whoever it was.
A bouquet was hovering before me. The flowers were roses and it all looked real, but I knew they weren't. When I touched them, they felt like plastic. However, one of them was real.
I snorted at that. I heard a pick-up line back then:
A boy gave his girl a dozen of roses.
11 were real and one was fake.
The boy said, 'I'll love you, until the last one of this roses dies.'
I was an idiot for taking it.
And take it, I did.
There was a note tied to it. I read it.
Out of the fake roses, the true one will always stand out.
~Your secret admirer...
I felt my cheeks go warm.
"Bloody hell..." I muttered.
I went inside the room and placed the roses in a vase (even it was wrapped and stuff), and then placed it on top of my dresser. I had a stare-down with it.

Fifteen minutes later, I stood up from my bed and washed myself.
After that, I dressed in my robes and silently walked out of the common room. When I reached the Great Hall, I immediately saw Harry and ran to him.
"Morning, Harry." I smiled at him as I sat down in front of him.
"Morning, too. What took you so long?" he asked me.
I grab a sunny-side up egg from the boufette (sp?) and put it on my plate.
"No reason." I shrugged.
"Reckon we should visit Hagrid?" Harry leans over to me.
I poured myself some pumpkin juice. "Alright, but when?"
"Tomorrow." was all he replied.
I rolled my eyes.
"Wassup, guys? A week to go before we leave." Percy said as he sat down next to me.
"A week?" I repeated.
"Yep."
"Seems long."
"As long as we get out of here." I heard another voice chime in.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Nico sat at the other side next to me.
"Good." I replied.
He rolled his eyes at me. "Why do you always assume I'm the bad guy?"
"After you kissed me without permission last night."
"Ooh... you got burned~!" Thalia teased.
Nico and I rolled our eyes together.
Lily
Was I dreaming?
Okay, no, I wasn't. I can't believe I got sent to the Principal's office. It was all Thanatos fault. He should be glad that I was covering for him right now.
"May I ask; who are you?" the bearded dude said. Actually, I was naming him Santa's brother since he had that white hair growing out of him.
"It's Layla." I lied smoothly.
"We don't appreciate liars here, Layla." the woman beside Santa's bro narrowed her eyes at me. I gulped as I realized they saw through the lie. I'm calling that woman: Scarecrow.
"Fine. It's Lily." I gritted.
Both of them seemed to tense up.
Santa's bro was the first to relax. "Alright, Lily. Why did you have a Dementor by your side?"
"And why are you even inside this school?" Scarecrow asked after.
"Firstly, I didn't know he was by my side. Secondly, I was transported here." I replied. It wasn't a lie, anyway. I was transported here... unwillingly.
"The students say you talk to it." Santa's bro said.
I quickly thought about all the cusses I know in Ancient Greek.
"Fine, I just met him outside school." I replied coolly.
"Do you not know what it is?" Scarecrow inquired.
"Nope. I was transported here unwillingly, so I didn't know much." I told them.
A look of relief passes through their face.
Santa's bro raised a stick, and pointed it at me. "Oblivius!"
"What?"
A hit of light went through me. I stand in a trance.
"You are not to remember this place, anymore. Out!" Santa's bro said.
I stood up, turned, and marched through the door.
Nico Di Angelo
Thump. Thump. Thump.
I laid at the bed of the Room of Requirement.
Honey had offered it to us so we can rest before we take her home.
I couldn't stop thinking about Hermione. Her lips were really soft and gentle. It was kinda cold, but I didn't complain. I actually was used to cold things. It scared me how my lips fitted her as if it were meant to be.
"Stand up, Nico. We need to get some fresh air." Thalia swatted my face.
I stood up and rolled my eyes at her. "Whatever."
"Guys, come on." Annabeth called from the doorway.
We all went outside.
We passed some classrooms. It was already time for the next period, that's why students were rushing in and out of classrooms. I saw Hermione stood up from the sea of students.
She was biting her lip, which I found it cute. Her brown curly hair fell until her waist, and I found it breath-taking. Her dark eyes were searching everywhere, until it landed on me.
My heart fluttered; her cheeks had a tint of pink.
"Let's ask Hermione." Thalia was saying.
"Alright." Annabeth said.
We made way through the students. At long last, we had reached Hermione.
"Hello." I greeted.
Ooooh~! What's gonna happen?
