Chapter 6
Hermione Granger
My eyes fluttered to Percy, the cute, but oblivious boy. I saw Thalia with all her tomboyish glory, I noted that she had gotten prettier the last time I saw her. Annabeth came in my sight and she looked too happy. Lastly, I saw Nico Di Angelo: the boy who drove me crazy.
They smiled at me. Percy asked. "Do you know where the Lake is?"
I nodded and pointed towards the south. "You'll see it as you walk down the corridor."
"Thanks, I love Hogwarts architecture, by the way." Annabeth smiled.
My face brightened. "Really? I thought no one cared about its history!"
Thalia yawned. Nico's eyes met mine and he waved at me. My heart fluttered as I smiled back to him. Why did I have to fall for that boy? I'm not even sure if it was love. A crush, maybe? But why did I want to kiss him so badly that I wanted him to be in my bed.
My face flustered and I looked down. Since when did I thought about dirty things like that?!
"No need to be embarrassed, anyway, we'll see you, okay?" Annabeth smiled.
I smiled back. "All right. I'll be out for now."
As I went to the corridor, Nico stopped me. "What?" I replied, harshly.
"Bye. I'll see you later." He grinned. He let go of me and walked away.
I blushed furiously as I went on to my next class.
I never felt this way before. Why did I have to be such a hopeless romantic? I'm pretty sure he's just doing that just to impress me. He'll just use me and throw away my heart like useless junk!
Yes, I read Teen Fiction, too.

"Well, this was not expected." Death shrugged at me.
"They thought you were a Dementor. Whatever that is." I told him.
"They're my servants."
"Really?"
"How come I don't know?"
"Because you don't listen."
"You caught me."
"You should be glad that the spell doesn't work for you... mortals are so dumb."
"Excuse me?!"
"Not to offend you, but... well, yeah to offend you."
"We need to find Cara, Hermes said she was very smart."
Thanatos snorted. "Yeah, I bet she's pretty smart to steal things from people."
"Don't judge daughters of gods!" I pouted.
Silence.
We walked deeper to Hogwarts.
"After that, we need to find Nico." Thanatos said.
"You find Nico, I'm shadow travelling back to camp."
"What if she doesn't want to be found?"
"Hermes said I have to give her a letter. He wanted her to be famous, by being a demigod wizard..."
"But she still doesn't belong here..."
"Yeah, so Hermes sent me here. But for Zeus' sake! Where shall I start?"
Thanatos pointed below. "When in doubt, start below."
I narrowed my eyes. "Well, we have to be careful so that we don't wake people..."
"Fine, princess..."
"Shut up."
Nico di Angelo
"Do you think Hermione's cute? 'Cause I think she is." I smiled at the clouds. It's been hours since we've been in the lake, but we don't mind, actually. It was peaceful... a rare sight for demigods.
Thalia looked at me, horrified. "What are you saying?!"
Percy chuckled. "Lay off him, I think he's starting to fall in love."
"You bet I am." I grinned absent-mindedly.
"And he's admitting it! What has come to the world!" Thalia said.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Aphrodite must've blessed you real good."
I looked at the lake. "Wanna throw Percy in?"
"Heck yeah!" Thalia cheered.
"Throw me here?" Percy asked.
"Down into the lake."
Percy frowned, but agreed with it.
Thalia took Percy's head and I carried his bottom. Annabeth just watched curiously, but was smirking.
"What are you guys doing?" we heard Honey.
Annabeth looked at her. "Hey, Honey!"
"One!" Thalia and I counted as we swung Percy.
"Are you crazy?" we heard another set of voices.
"Hello, Harry, Ron, Hermione!"
"Hermione is here?" I perked up.
Thalia glared at me. "Count with me buddy."
I grinned at her. "Alright, alright. TWO!"
Ron shouted. "Have you gone bonkers? There's a giant squid in there!"
"More reason to look below!" Percy yelled.
"THREE!" We finished and threw him to the lake.
I gave Thalia a high-five.
Hermione ran to the lake. "Are you crazy? He'll drown! You don't have the appropriate magic...!"
I touched her shoulders. "It's Percy we're talking about, he's got this."
We waited and waited and waited.
"It's been so long!" Honey cried.
"Aren't you planning on retrieving him?" Harry asked.
We looked at Annabeth. She sighed and muttered, "Fine."
She threw in her dagger.
"Why do you have a dagger?" Hermione asked.
"Best not to answer, my dear," I joked.
She blushed red and told me to shut up.
FWOOOSH!
"You dropped this," Percy said as he climbed out the water.
He handed Annabeth her dagger and grinned. "You're great!"
Thalia clapped. "Well done, Perry Johnson!"
I snickered. Percy rolled his eyes. See, we have a running joke about names, since Mr. D can't get anything right, we decided to call ourselves by the names he had used us.
"Merlin's pants! How did you do that?" Ron asked, his jaw dropped open.
"Magic, young one." Percy smiled.
We all grinned at each other, as if we shared a secret, which we did.

I'm exhausted.
"We searched for her all night!" I said exasperated, "Can I have my break now?"
Thanatos huffed. "Fine, let's hide somewhere safe."
Once I settled for a place we knew no one will look for, I snuggled myself quietly and slept.
Time passed...
"...the Ravenclaws are acting weird." a voice passed by.
"I know right? I heard it was because of little Cara, she's been a nightmare, trashing everything ever since she saw the Dementor."
"I feel so bad for her."
I opened my eyes and looked at Thanatos.
He looked at me gravely. "I know, we have to get to Ravenclaw tower."
He whisked me away to the tower. A door with an eagle on it looked at us questionably.
"I have to look for Cara Monique?" I said.
"Answer my riddle first." the eagle said.
"Alright then..." I said.
"What creature goes on four feet in the morning, on two at noonday, and on three in the evening?" the eagle asked.
The Sphinx's riddle to Oedipus, I remembered. I inhaled deeply and replied. "A man. In childhood, he creeps on hands and feet. In manhood, he walks erect. In an old age, he helps himself with a staff."
"Very well, hero." the eagle replied and swung open.
I smiled brightly at Thanatos. "Well, what do you know? Those Greek lessons actually helped!"
Thanatos rolled his eyes. "Come on, before anyone else sees us."
Together, we crept to the room of Cara Monique. Not knowing for a second that her state was much worse than what the two Hogwarts students said.
I'm back! Wow~ it took long to update.
