A Little Trip To Hogwarts – Chapter 3
Nico
When finally I've shadow-travelled everyone to Scotland, I sit down to rest for a while. I act like its nothing, shadow-travelling, but really it wears me out so much so I think my lungs might collapse sometimes. Will sits down next to me, and takes my hand in his.
"You good?" He asks quietly. I don't know what to do about Will. I really like him, but even though everyone knows I'm gay it still scares me, about what people will think. Maybe at this new school it'll be okay, we can act like it's been going on for ages, instead of just a week. We can stop it being a big deal. But first I'd have to talk to Will privately, I don't want to do anything unless he's okay with it.
"I'm fine." I give him a small smile to prove it, but he doesn't believe me. He is the son of the God of Medicine, he can tell I'm worn out from the trips. "Seriously, I'll be fine in a minute."
"Okay." He puts his hand on my face, gently stroking my cheek. I sigh a little; am I actually allowed to be as happy as I am right now? We've just finished a war, and so many people died, yet still, in this moment, thousands of miles away from home, I am happier with Will than I've ever been in my life. "Do you want this Nico? Because honestly, I'm confused. One second you're fine with us in public, the next there's gaps between us when we sit. I just need to know." He looks down and I feel my gut wrench in guilt. I have been quite undecided, and it's not fair on him. I take his chin in my hand and softly turn his head upwards so I can look right in his eyes.
"I do. I really do. You just make me feel so weak Will. So… vulnerable. I don't like letting people close to me, but I'm trying. You make me so unbelievably happy." I mean every word I say; I've never felt as free as I feel when I'm with him. I feel like I can do anything and nothing at the same time, like there's nothing expected of me, nothing I have to do.
"Is that a good or a bad thing…" He murmurs to himself.
"It's the best thing." I say, and crash my lips onto his, not bothering to see if anyone was looking because I've decided that I don't care. I pull back, and look into his eyes. His smile is wide, and his eyes twinkle. I wink, and get up, holding out my hand to him. I keep his hand in mine as we turn to face the others.
"We good to go in?" Percy asks, nodding his head to the house I the field, his eyes mainly on Will and I while he asks. He's holding back a smile, and I shoot a glare at him.
"Let's go." Will grins.
We all follow Percy, subconsciously I think we all look up to him as our leader. He knocks on the door, and a woman answers it after a minute of us standing awkwardly on the doorstep.
"Hello dear, you must be the exchange students?" She asks, smiling widely, though it doesn't quite reach her eyes.
"Yes." Percy smiles politely. "It's very nice of you to let us stay here." He continues speaking as she bustles us into the house, looking around outside before shutting the door and bolting it.
"Don't you worry dear, anything for the students of Hogwarts. Well my dears, this is the family." She leads us into a large room filled with sofas surrounding a fireplace. "My name is Molly Weasley, and this is my husband Arthur." She rests her hand on the shoulder of a ginger man who's seated on one of the sofas. "There are my children, George, Ron, and Ginny." She points out the ginger teenagers as she says their respective names. George, the oldest looking one, was sat slightly apart from the others, almost as if he was leaving space for someone who wasn't there. I sense a spirit, and a vision comes to me. I feel my eyes close, and my body drop against Will.
There is people sitting on the sofas. The whole family is there, the people Molly Weasley introduced us to, and more who look liked their related to the Weasleys'. Ron and Ginny are sat next to each other on one of the sofas, Molly and Arthur Weasley are sat on another, and on the one beside Ron are two teenagers, one black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl. The strangest thing is that on one of the other sofas George and someone who looks identical to him are sat. Everyone in the room is laughing, and it appears that the George look-alike is telling a story. George and George 2 look at each other and say something at exactly the same time, and the room bursts into laughter again.
"Nico! Nico, baby. Shh…" Will's voice soothes me as I wakes up with a pounding headache. "What happened, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." I say, taking his hand and kissing the back of it. He helps me up, and I lock eyes with Percy and nod. He's the only one in the room who knows what just happened.
Sometimes that happens, when I go somewhere that someone of incredible importance to the people around me had recently died. I get a vision of them, but I hear and see everything as if I'm underwater. I have a feeling that George had a twin, who he was very close with.
"What is it Percy? What happened?" Annabeth asks him, taking note of our exchange.
"Doesn't matter Annie, I'll tell you later." He says quietly to her, and I shake my head at him, telling him not to. Will wraps his arm around my waist and I turn to smile at him.
"Sorry ma'am, please, continue." I say to Mrs Weasley, and she looks at me concerned for a minute, before continuing.
"Well, we'll be having some of Ron's friends staying too from tomorrow onwards, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. You and all my children will be in the same year I think. Anyway, it's getting late, Ron, Ginny? Will you show our guests to their beds?" She turns to her children, and they stand, eyeing us suspiciously.
"Well the guys can come with me, and the girls with Ginny." Ron says, and we nod. I hear Annabeth begin to panic.
"Calm down, Wise Girl, it'll be fine." Percy tries to calm her, but I imagine he's feeling shaky right now too, since I don't think I've seen them apart since they got out of… there.
"Promise me I'll see you first thing Percy. Promise me, I don't want to be without you." She quietly begs him, and he nods, kissing her. I turn away, feeling like I'm watching something very private. I tighten my hold on Will's hand, and he gives me a look.
"What's wrong?" He whispers.
"Absolutely nothing." I smile, and I mean it. For once in my life everything is good. I'm away from camp, and demi-god life, and I'm being allowed to spend the next few months on the other side of the world with a bunch of my best friends, and Will.
