Chapter 4
Lunch... I can't wait, not just because I get to find out Maddy's secret.
"Hey Maddy I'll meet you at the Great Hall, I'm gonna go drop off my potions and transfiguration textbooks and trade them in for my History of Magic, Herbology, and Charms textbook."
"'Kay see you in a bit!" I hurried to the common room. I reached the blue bird
"Thirty white horses on a red hill, first they champ, then they stamp, Then they stand still."
"Teeth"
"Correct" blue bird said as the painting swung open revealing the Ravenclaw common room with its walls literally made up of books with its many bookshelves floor to wall. It's amazing that Ravenclaws even needed to go to the library. I hurriedly went to my dorm, opened my trunk and swapped my books, then hurried down the stairs and towards the great hall.
I was placing my books in the bag when crash! I suddenly saw some silver hair. I slowly stood up, there standing, well sitting before me was Scorpius Malfoy, my brother Albus and Rose's best friend. Of course I'd met him before but only briefly. I was afraid of him really, from what my father had told me the Malfoys are one of the reasons he is alive so they are to be respected, but from what my brothers and cousin have said he's just a regular kid.
"Are you alright?" I asked extending my arm to help him up.
"Yeah, I'm fine you?"
"Just fine"
"Your Albus's sister right? I'm Scorpius"
"Yeah, but my names Lily, and we've met before when you came over to visit Al over the summer."
"Oh yeah, that's right! Oh! By the way are you on your way to the Great Hall? I was just headed there myself."
"Yeah that's where I was headed, I had to go and grab my books. Do you want to walk together?"
"That's what I had in mind, yeah." He said with a grin on his face. We started walking in the direction of the Great Hall.
"Are you going to try out for quidditch? Al says you're really good"
"Um well... My father even though I'm in Gryffindor wants me to do Quidditch and I think I will. Are you going to try out next year?" Scorpius asked me.
"Maybe, we'll just have to wait and see." I said as the Great Hall came in to view.
"Um... I should probably go sit with Rose and Al before they begin to worry."
"Oh yeah, I should probably go too. Well um… see you around I guess," I said while walking away. I looked around and found Maddy talking to Hugo at the Ravenclaw table.
"Who was that Lily," Maddy asked me as I sat down.
"No one," I replied looking back.
"BS," Hugo exclaimed.
"What's BS," Maddy asked. I whispered to her the answer. "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, seriously though, who is he. I maybe half-blood, but I don't know any wizards."
"Well, if you won't tell her Lil, I will. That's Scorpius Malfoy, Albus' best friend next to Rose." Then he added in a lower tone, "I think Lily has a slight crush on him."
"I do not," I told him as I threw my napkin at him.
"If you say so," he said walking to the Hufflepuff table.
I huffed, and asked Maddy, "So what was that thing you wanted to tell me at lunch?"
"Oh that, um... Well the thing is that I'm not the kind of half blood you think I am," she said nervously.
"What do you mean? Are you like Hagrid? Half mythical creature?"
"Well I wouldn't call it mythical creature. I'm... Well, I'm half god."
"What do you mean half god, like God-god, or god-god?"
"godS, like as in Greek, I'm half mortal, s'cuz me, muggle, half Greek god."
"OHMYGOD! Wait, then how did you get into Hogwarts, and I thought your parents were Percy and Annabeth Jackson?"
"They are, my dad's dad is the Greek god of the sea and my mom's mom is the Greek goddess of wisdom."
"That explains why you're in Ravenclaw and are their names Poseidon and Athena?"
"You know Greek mythology?"
"Yeah, I really like to read."
"Another demigod that I go to summer camp with. oh . and demigod is the proper term for half gods. Anyway, another demigod wrote a story about my dad's life as a demigod from when he was 12 until he was, like 17 or 18."
"That's super cool! And strangely enough same with my dad, except that my dad's went from when he was 11."
"I know."
"How?"
"I had to do some research before coming here."
"That brings me back to one of my previous questions, how is it that you got to come to Hogwarts?"
"Well, see, Professor McGonagall had a letter from Dumbledore, that he gave her before he died, because he knew he was going to die, and it said to send a letter on a specific day to Chiron, I am going to assume you know who he is."
"Yeah, continue."
"Okay and the letter to Chiron were said to send the child of the two most powerful demigods he knew, to Hogwarts, and that ended up being me. Poseidon, my grandpa, is one of the Big Three and my mom has been training at camp since she was seven."
"Wow, but how can you do magic?"
"Easy, I was blessed by the goddess of magic, Hecate."
"Wow."
"Yeah, now, let's eat I'm starving and we only have like ten minutes."
"Yeah, and make sure you get some treacle tart. It is delicious."
