Chapter 3: Explanations and Long lists
Riley Stoll's POV:
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" Ron screamed from Gryffindor table in horror at what I had just done… oh dear Zeus this would be a funny task!
I looked helplessly towards Dumbledore. Had he explained the situation or would I have to explain everything? I doubted that he would tell them without my permission but still. I grabbed a bit of food off of my plate nibbling at it nervously. Was I aloud to tell them, or would I get in trouble for introducing another world of danger to them?
"You may explain everything to them all" Dumbledore answered my unspoken question.
"Well, like I was telling Hermione, Harry and Ron earlier, in muggle society there's a thing called Greek Mythology. It's about what the ancient Greek people believed in. In that there were the 12 Olympians, the major Gods and Goddesses and Minor Gods and Goddesses that had defeated the Titans, another group of rulers. Anyway in Greek Mythology the Gods and Goddesses sometimes came down to earth and had affairs with mortals, people like your-selves and like the muggles who live alongside your kind in blissful unawareness. The children of these affairs are called Demi-gods or Half-bloods. Camp Half blood is a camp dedicated to bringing us together and teaching us how to defend ourselves" I explained.
"You can't expect us to possibly believe that load of rubbish" a slytherin boy called across the hall.
"I do for I tell the truth. We are trained with swords, bows and arrows, daggers and other forms of blades to protect ourselves. We are also taught Greek Mythology there so that we know a bit about our parents and grand-parents and the monsters we'll face in the upcoming war. Our Dark-lord is also coming back, only ours is more dangerous!"
"'How can anyone be more powerful than Voldemort?" a Gryffindor asked… curse them!
"Uh… I don't know… it's just that he's IMMORTAL; he has a giant army of IMMORTAL followers and, wait for it, an army of monsters that never truly die because after you kill them, they REFORM! If you're lucky they'll reform in a couple of decades, if you're unlucky they'll reform after a few DAYS!" the kids were just looking at me like I was crazy.
"And WHY DID YOU THROW THE PERFECTLY GOOD FOOD INTO THE FIRE?" Ron screamed looking rather distraught.
"I gave a sacrifice to my father Ronald! A sacrifice to Hermes, the God of messages, thieves, travellers and athletics" I said in my matter-of-fact tone. The look on the muggle-borns faces was price-less… the slytherins had no clue what was happening, except one who was looking curiously. In reality he could've passed for a child of Hades or of Nemesis but I doubted that he was. He had shaggy black hair that fell slightly in front of his eyes and looked pretty tall while he was sitting down and looked quite lanky.
Many minutes of explaining later –
"You shall be staying with Gryffindor for the duration of your stay" Dumbledore told me. This would be amusing wouldn't it?
"So when are my friends coming?"
"Tomorrow morning" with that said I was escorted to Gryffindor common room. Everything was red and gold and gave a majestic sort of feeling.
"Wow" I heard myself murmur, resulting in a few amused glances. "What, I grew up in a giant run down shack with all of my brothers and sisters… and the new comers!"
"Welcome to-"
"Gryffindor common room" two red-headed boys said coming towards me. The twins Ron told me about… Fred and George… They both put an arm over my shoulder and guided me up the stairs to what I knew was the boy's dormitory of their year.
"So what pranks-"
"Are you planning-"
"Ron told us about you and your siblings" they concluded together.
"I don't know, perhaps my brothers gave me a list of what not to do so I wouldn't obey that list!" I said innocently. "But while I'm here, watch your pockets!" I continued, smirking slightly as they watched in shock as I pulled their wallets and wands out of my pocket. Oh the fun involved in being the child of the mischievous God of thieves. Yup, father's a really bad role-model to all of his loving children!
"How, what, where?" a lot of questions spluttered out of both of their mouths as I just smirked at it all.
"It probably comes from looting the camp-store, hot-wiring the camp van and being a child of the god of thieves" I said lazily waving my hand. "But I could use some help with some of the things on the list, actually a lot of the things on the list! Here it is!"
