The Forbidden Forest at 7:00 a.m
Me: Wassup peeps? I called in dead for school, but it didn't work :(. I'm very unhappy right now. HOMEWORK, why?

HW: I want to make your lives miserable *creepy laugh*

Me: Um..Ok? AVADA KEDAVRA! *Homework dies* I want to thank the people who voted on my poll because that makes you awesome and you get THREE cookies. (::) (::) (::). One of the demigods you voted for will be in detention with another demigod and Harry. I have decided the demigods who will have detention with Harry. They will be revealed...next chapter! Do the disclaimer somebody.

Muses: *pushes everybody around, trying to get somebody to do disclaimer*

Gale: She doesn't own Percy or Harry

Me: Katniss should totally be with you, Gale! Peeta's too perfect! He's a Gary Stu!

Peeta: Excuse-*Muses attack him*

Muses: That was fun. On with the story!

Harry POV
That was a weird first night back. So weird. That Sherman kid likes Malfoy. Neville knows them. Luna admires them. Luna and Neville are allowed to stay in Gryffindor Tower. In the tower. That's got to be a first. It's five in the morning now. I need to get Malfoy out of the tower. I walk out of the dormitory and down the stairs. The fire's still burning brightly. I look at one of the chairs. Sherman's sitting in it. She's just staring at the fire. I can't help but notice how her eyes look. They're like a summer glade reflecting pool. Like trees reflecting off the water. I go over behind her. She stiffens and reaches for her watch. She stops in front of the stopwatch button.

"Give me one reason why you're standing behind me Potter."

"I wanted to apologize for being such an arse last night. It wasn't like me. I didn't mean anything." It feels weird apologizing.

"Weasley did. I know when people are lying. Call it intuition or a superpower,(A/N: Emma Swan from Once Upon A Time!) I don't care. And you, Potter, are about to lie. You'll defend Weasley. You'll say he didn't mean it. He's a git. And honestly, I don't ship Romione."

"What's 'Romione'?"

"Damn! Said too much!" She grabs her hair in frustration and runs over to a wall. It has a drawing on it. She says something and the wall moves. It reveals some sort of room. There are some weapons in it. The door closes. I shake my head.

Naomi POV
I am such an idiot! Why did I say that in front of him? Why? I go in our room. Thalia's still sleeping. I go over to her bed. I summon some water and drop it on her head. She jumps up spluttering and grabs her spear. I double over laughing. She narrows her eyes.

"What the Hades was that?" she roars. I keep laughing. Luna and Grace wake up too. I snicker at their expressions.

"Nothing. Just wanted to wake you up in an unconventional manner," I choke out. "Oh, and I accidentally told Harry about Ron and Hermione getting together."

"When were you talking to Harry?"

"This morning. I was sitting by the fire and came down the stairs and started interrogating me. I had Whirlpool with me. I said stuff about Ron and Hermione getting together and freaked. So here I am. Wanna go explore the forest?" I say very quickly.

"The forest's forbidden, Naomi. You should know that." Luna looks at me disapprovingly. I wave her off.

"We're demigods. We do stuff we shouldn't, we break rules, we kill monsters, so we are the bane of the people who try to teach information that could be vitally important in the future. So, do you?" Thalia and Grace nod. Luna shakes her head at the ceiling as if to say, Why? Why is it me? I go change out of my PJs. I emerge from the closet wearing my favorite T-shirt of all time, the You wanna know why? Because I'm Batman! shirt. From How It Should Have Ended videos on YouTube. Grace snorts when she sees me.

"Seriously? A Batman T-shirt? You couldn't do someone like Superman or Thor?" Grace asks. I glare at her.

"It doesn't have any Marvel superhero shirts! The damn closet has all my other shirts but not my Avengers shirts! And I'd be the Hulk! I don't wanna be an enormous green rage monster with anger issues! Why me?" Thalia starts laughing at my predicament. "Thals, you know your name is remarkably similar to the one girl's in The Dark Knight Rises. You know, the one Bane was guarding? But that plot twist was fantastic! I couldn't believe it when the girl was the one who escaped the prison instead! It was so cool!" They look at me like I'm nuts. Grace shakes her head.

"That was a spectacular rant, Names. Real spectacular. I'm sure if you ask the closet nicely for Avengers shirts, it will give you some." I start pouting.

"But what's the fun in that? Oh, do you think President Snow from the movie would be friends with Bane? I mean, they both had speeches about hope. The movies were so awesome!"

"Warning: Naomi Sherman is currently going into complete fangirl mode. I repeat, Naomi Sherman is going is complete fangirl mode. Use caution when dealing with this mode. If interrupted, Naomi may start giving you the cold shoulder for several years," Grace says in a creepy robot voice. I glare at her. She flinches.

"Grace, I swear if you call me a fangirl one more time, you won't know how much pain you're in. And for the last time, I don't go fangirl. I go Supreme Nerd Commander of the World. Or S.C.N.W. Never fangirl." She nods. "Come on. We need our before breakfast scare. Over the castle and to the woods, to danger's home we go!" Thalia cracks up as we leave. We walk out of our room and go to the males.

"One, two, three..." we count. "GET YOUR LAZY BUTTS OUT OF BED! YOU WORTHLESS MALES! UP! UP! UP! DAYLIGHT'S WASTING!" we scream at the top our lungs. On second thought, that wasn't a good idea. Percy yanks the door open. Behind him, the other boys are stifling yawns.

"Wuzgoinon?" he asks, his voice groggy with sleep. I splash him a bit to wake him up. He jumps before glaring at me.

"Let's go, Squirtle. We're going to the Forbidden Forest. Nothing like danger before breakfast. Tell Nico and Draco to move their butts to." He nods before stumbling in. Someone starts pounding on our wall/entrance thing. Thalia grimaces before shouting.

"What the **** do you want? It's five in the morning!" The pounding stops but a muffled noise starts.

"Is someone shouting?" I ask Thalia. She shrugs.

"No clue." We go over to the wall.

"Open you freaky wall thing!" I shout. It swings open. I see half of Gryffindor Tower staring at us. "You called?"

"What were you doing?" asks Hermione. I make a very mature face, meaning I stuck my tongue out at her, before glaring at the male specimens.

"None of your business," I snap.

"Burned," coughs Thalia. I smack her before grinning at the group.

"Shut up, Thals. Why do you people care if we yell at each other? Neville, Thalia, Percy, Grace, and Thalia are my cousins. Luna and Draco are like my second cousins. Or Thalia's and Grace's niece and nephew. Heck, that's creepy." I look at Thalia, forgetting about the crowd. "That is soo creepy. You'll be my aunt in law once Percy marries Annabeth! Not to mention my leader whenever Lady Artemis is way up there.(A/N: I'm just gonna do Ancient Greek in italics as I'm too lazy to look up the translation) That's so creepy! You'll be superior to me in four ways! You'll be my aunt/cousin thing, what I just said that's top secret, whose daughter you are, and you're older than me! Why? Damn you, Uncle, for having her however many years ago!" Thunder rumbles outside. "Well, then. I'm sorry for under-miming you, Your Most Wonderful and Holy and Powerful and Supreme Ruler One." The thunder recedes. Thalia's grinning at me. Evilly.

"Ha! You just admitted that my dad's cooler than yours!"

"Sweet. That means my dad isn't a constipated, overweighted, out of style loser. Like yours. No offense, Uncle Zack is awesome. Uncle Harold is awesome. My dad is beast." I can practically feel Hermione's anger at being ignored.

"What were you doing?" she shouts. I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Tsk, tsk. Patience is a virtue, young padawan."

"You look like you're just eleven! You can't call me 'young padawan'!" I snort.

"There's this thing called, 'Holy mother. Naomi Sherman doesn't have to age at all because of reasons that will remain unknown to nosy British magical dolts. Guess I should back off then before she kills me with a spoon.' So here to put you're mind at rest: I'll be fifteen in one day. And I was shouting at my cousins to get up and ready."

"Where are you going?"

"Does every flipping thing have to be cleared by you? We're going into the forest for a near death experience before breakfast." Due to Hermione being Hermione, she gasps.

"You can't do that! It's against the rules!"

"What? And Polyjuice potion isn't? Sneaking out of you dorm room at night and using the Full Body Bind on Cereal Boy isn't? Using Expelliarmus in corridors isn't? Sneaking out to go see a friend isn't? I don't think any of you three," I point at the trio, "can talk about breaking rules. So here for all the idiots in here who didn't understand what I just said: I will not listen to you or your mother or your father unless you're somehow related to me because your parents can kill me in very painful ways. Then they could bring me back as alive as ever and kill me again. And repeat the process." Thalia snorts and high-fives me.

"They can do it to all of us, Ariel. Anyways let's make sure everyone's up."

"Nicknames?"

"Yes."

"SQUIRTLE! DEATH BREATH! BIRD BRAIN! FEATHERS! CEREAL! PIKACHU! GET YOUR TAILS OUT HERE BEFORE I PERSONALLY CAUSE YOU MUCH PAIN!" we shout in unison. We look at each other and shrug. "Weird." Gryffindor House is still holding their hands over their ears. The cowards. Malfoy, Luna, Percy, Nico, and Grace run out of their rooms. They turn to me and bow.

"Don't kill us!" they wail. I chuckle.

"You slaves have disappointed me many times. You will live this time. If it happens again, your flesh will be peeled from your bodies very, very slowly." They nod and look over at the crowd. Grace looks at me suddenly.

"Pikachu is a male Pokémon. I'm a female."

"Pikachu can be male or female. I'm the Pokémon genius, Grace. I know everything up to Generation Four. Generation Five just has cool legendaries. Everything thing else sucks." She nods. Percy glares at me.

"Stop calling Squirtle!"

"Got it, Nemo."

"And Nemo."

"Fish head." He is one. Really.

"Stop calling me names."

"But Percy, your name is boring."

"So is yours, Ariel." I hate my brother so much.

"For the last time, I am not a mermaid mooning over some black haired idiot on land. If I was 1) I wouldn't be here 2) I'd be living under the waters and annoying the hell out of you 3) I'd be dead because of who my leader is and 4) Eric isn't even cute.

"If I was mooning over any Disney prince it would be Prince Phillip. Even though he gets his soul sucked out by a dementor in the first episode of the second season of Once Upon A Time. Curse the stupid makers! Except for Emma, Ruby, Mulan, Henry, Hook, Regina, and the guy who could be a excellent Snape, the characters are fairly lame. But Jefferson is Bucky in Captain America, so he's okay. Anyways, we are exiting the premises. So goodbye, magical freaks!" I grab Thalia, who grabs Grace, who grabs Luna, who grabs Squirtle, who grabs Nico, who grabs Neville, who grabs Malfoy, and drag them out of the Common room.

I start humming Skyfall by Adele. After all, it is a James Bond song. Which is why it's so awesome.

"Schist!" They stop behind me.

"What is it?" they ask seriously. I guess my expression must be pretty serious.

"I left my iPod in my room." Thalia slaps me. It really hurts. "This is serious! I have Justin Bieber stuck in my head! I hate him! Get out of my head, you cursed creature!" I pull my bag off of my shoulder and look in. This isn't a regular bag. This bag can hold everything. Right now, I have Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus stuck in there. I smack it(Bieber) on the head.

"Better?" asks Thalia. I poke it with a stick before nodding. Much better. We sneak out of the castle. After nearly getting caught by Filch and getting lost several times, of course. The forest looks so dark and...magical. Well, duh! It's at Hogwarts, a magic school. It has magical creatures in it. Of cousre it's magical! You dolt!(A/N: This is the other personality when Naomi argues with herself. Underlined italics is regular Naomi)

Well, sorry. Even brunettes have blond moments, stupid! And there wasn't really a better word.

Of course there were! You just didn't think! Mystical, ancient, foreboding, powerful, dangerous.

Those describe the highlands. The forest is just magical. I think I have schizophrenia. Honestly, I have these little conversations with myself all too often for it to be normal. It's kinda creepy. The other side usually wins. Very creepy. I lose to myself. A lot.

The forest looms above us. The occasional chirrup of a bird can be heard. It's so...forest-y. Thalia comes to stop. Malfoy bumps into and gets punched in the face.

"You touch me again and I'll..." She leaves the threat hanging. Malfoy gulps and nods so quickly you'd think that this could end his life. I push both of them into the forest and follow. We just wander around the forest, looking for something to do. Grace gives into ADHD and begins humming Burn It Down by Linkin' Park. I nod to her.

"I approve of your music choices. You have pleased me young one. Now you must learn to scale a mountain using only your teeth."

"What if I get several pairs of dentures and put them on my hands and feet?"

"They're still your teeth, aren't they?" She nods. I turn around and find myself facing Aragog. I nod to him before backing out the way I came very slowly.

"Where do you think you're going?" I freeze and turn around. He smiles at me carefully. I grin cheerfully at him. Time to go preppy and annoying.

"Hi! I'm Naomi! Who are you? Your voice is so cool! How do you talk if you're a spider? Are you friends with Arachne? Why are you so big? Could a giant squash you if one stepped on you? Can I give-"

"ENOUGH!" Well that was rude. "I've not the time for your nonsense! Why are you here?"

"I wandered in here by accident. My friends ditched me a while back. I've bee trying to find my way out of this place. It's very confusing. I thought that I had already been here so I wanted to check. You know, because this place is so huge! I thought I was going to die! Can you help me out of here?" He steps back. I take the chance and run for it. And I scream like crazy.

"RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! GIANT SPIDER THING GOING TO EAT ANY HUMAN OR SEMI-HUMAN THING! HELP!" I scream loudly. I run into my friends.

"Where were you?" demands Percy.

"Feeling the love, Squirtle. There's a giant spider trying to eat us. Did you not hear me screaming?" I pant and drag them through the forest. Horde of centaurs that way. Siders that way. Werewolves in front. Danger all around. Turns spidey has friends. I pull out Whirlpool.

"Frontal assault or run?" asks Percy. I grin maniacally.

"What do you think?"

"You could be a daughter of Ares."

"Being reckless and being stupid are two different things, Nemo." I charge the monsters.

*Hi! This is Celaena. She will be your line break today. Celaena, please don't kill anyone.*

We emerge the forest covered head to toe in monster slime. Percy's panting. Nico shadow-travelled out. Everyone else is lying on the ground gasping. Except for me, Thalia, and Grace.

"How are you guys still standing?" gasps Draco. I look at us. It clicks in my mind.

"Oh, us Hunters?" He nods. "Killing monsters everyday does that to you. Especially when you have to run halfway across the country. But it still awesome. 'Cause we have girls' night out every single night! You know, just without the make-up and girlishness." He nods. I summon water over to us and command it to wash us. Like so.

"Clean water! Clean!" Percy and I shout at the same time. We look at each other before facing opposite directions and whistling.

"Awkward," sings Grace. I stick my tongue out at her and will us dry. We march up o the castle. I pull on one of the doors. It's locked. I pull on the other one. Also locked. I curse. Several times. I began pounding on the doors.

"LET ME IN! LET ME IN! VOLDEMORT! HE'S ALIVE!" That should get some attention. Sure enough, Filch comes running up to the door. With the whole school behind him. Dumbledore is chuckling. I smile at him.

"Hi, Dumbles! And other nameless people. And the three people who can't take a joke," I say, pointing the trio. "On a different topic...I KNOW WHAT VOLDY'S THEME SONG SHOULD BE!" My friends crack up. Everyone, except Dumbledore and Harry, gasp when they hear Voldemort's name.

"She said it!" shouts a random kid.

"Is the world ending? I know a ton of people who call him...wait for it...Moldy Voldy! Have you seen him? Oh and Voldemort is...let me see...68 or 69(A/N: True! In Chamber he was 66 or 65 cause he was sixteen or fifteen when everything happened 50 years ago. So add three years and you get 68-69) years old. Why is afraid of death when he's only 70? Does he have some disease or something? Other than the 'I'm a bald old creep who wants to end your very existence for reasons that you will find out at the end of book five' disease? Book five being more specifically known as OoP in the avid nerd writer world?" The crowd gapes at me. "Whaat? It happens to you. When's brekkist?"

"What's 'brekkist'?" asks Ron confusedly. I cluck my tongue at him.

"You poor boy. I will train you in Sherman family terms so that you, the comic relief, will understand what is being said the fantastic and unbelievable Naomi, herself. Bow to her wonderfulness!" My friends dutifully bow. "HA! You pretty much swore fealty to me! And you admitted that I am the most awesome and powerful!" Percy scoffs.

"The MOST powerful? Did you kill Kronos? Did you kill Gaea? Did you slay the chimaera? Echidna? Medusa? Dr. Thorn? Chrysaor? Gryphons? An army of ghosts?" I snort.

"Ego much, Bro?" He splutters.

"What? I don't have an ego!"

"Well, it didn't sound that way. Technically, you didn't slay the timely one. Castellan did. You didn't kill her by yourself. Jason, Annie, Frank, Leo, Piper,and Hazel helped. You got off topic. I'm going to go gorge myself on candy." I start walking through the crowd.

"SHERMAN!" The crowd parts and I see that Malfoy called my name. "You do know that house-elves make food for us, right?"

"Thalia, Grace, fill Bird Brain in. Now, if I find that I am missing one piece of candy, everyone except for awesome people and my friends will die a painful death. Toodles!" I run through the crowd. And slap the people who annoy me: Chang, Corner, Smith, Finnigan, Brown, Crabbe, Goyle, Parkinson, Toad. The portrait hole comes up. The Fat Lady opens one eye and yawns.

"Password?"

"Open the door and I'll let you live?" She widens her eyes and lets me in. I go over to...the wall. I know. The horror right?

"Open you stupid thing!" I yell. Waking up at four in the morning because of some stupid nightmare you got over three years ago does that. Then when you try to hug your dog and forget that he's not with you...well, it makes life suck. But the forest was cool enough.

The wall opens. I walk into our room and grab a fistful of junk food. Nachos, candy, soda, the classic. As well as a thing of fruitloops. I get enough for all of us demigods and shove it in a bag. I run out of the common room and down to the Great Hall. Whoa. This prank worked better than I thought it would.

Whew. Sorry for the wait. I just realized, mu updating schedule is very erratic, but I have long chapters. I was sick and had a mountain of homework. Sorry. Christmas break is soon so hopefully I'll be able to update more. See you!
