Exams are finally over. I can now stop studying yay. also have one question bout Nico. Should i make him Straight or nah?Chapter Six
Percy'sPOV
He sat crossed legged on the floor. He took deep breaths and his eyes were closed. He found this as an easy way to concentrate. Smiling slightly he remembered the events from last night.
Hermione talked about her vacation to Paris before the school year started and was estatic Percy went there as well. Little did she know that he went with his dead girlfriend on their anniversary, he winced a little at the memory. Other than that they exchanged stories of their childhood. Just like he did, Hermione was bullied alot. They just clicked. He found him self slowly getting lost in Hermione's voice.
But Harry is the main problem. This morning at breakfast he kept scowling at him so was Ron. He thought after last night he would talk to Percy instead was angry at him. Especially when Hermione decided to sit next to Lily and Him.
A knock on the door broke him out on concentration. Leaving one eye closed, he glanced at the door. Their Nico and ... Leo was standing.
"Hey man" Leo started off. "I'm kind of angry that you didn't come to the sorting" That was Leo for you. He didnt hide his emotions.
Letting out a throaty laugh he got up from his crossed legged position and walked over to him. "How are ya?" Leo just grunted in response.
"Thalia's a pain" he mumbled rubbing the back of his neck. "I want to train during the day, nooo she says. She wants to train during the night and I'm forced to"
He grinned. That was Thalia. "Why werent you in class Mr"
Both Nico and Leo looked at each other. "Free period"
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking? " Leo said in a girly voice.
Nico gave him a dirty. "Just no"
Percy gave them a knowing look. He wants to train he really does, but what of they get caught. "Where should we train" Both Nico and Leo gave each other a look.
Time skip.
Percy dodged an attack from Leo. He still uses his hammer which annoys percy immensely. The hammer is literally the size of him but Leo still manages to hold it like it was a twig. Oh and its enlightened in greek fire.
They decided to train in the forbidden forest. No one goes in there. Rumors of evil centuars monsters and death eaters are told and that makes percy even more eager to train there.
Grinning percy thrust out his hand. Closing his eyes he felt a tug in his stomach. Opening them, Leo stood in a position where he looked like he was ready to take a swing at him.
Percy removed Leo's hand from the flaming hammer, and pushed him onto the floor. Turning around what he saw made his blood turn cold...
Hermione was standing there jaws wide open and eyes buldging out of her head.
He panicked. What he did to that other teacher drained him completely. He cant do that to her. Nico was also frozen pointing at the direction of Hermione.
Willing himself to walk towards Hermione he stood in front of her and put his hands behind his back. He then willed time to go as it is.
"Ow!"
"Imposter!"
"What is happening here?!?" The last one was Hermione.
She let out a squeak of surprise when she saw Percy casually standing infront of her.
Seeing the fear in her eyes made him wince. He hated her looking at him that way. She turned about to bolt.
He let her.
Nah not really. Just when she was ten feet away from the exit from the forbidden forest. Percy for the first time vapor traveled in front of her. He doesnt know how ti explain it. It was like he made his body evaporate in to air mist and thought about being next Hermione.
He grabbed her arm turning her around. Just when she was about to scream,he put his hand onto her mouth.
He walked back with her struggling in his arms.
"Did you catch her?" Nico panted.
"Our cover is blown of you didn't" Leo continued.
He rolled his eyes at the both of them. He felt her lick his hand but he smiled slightly. That was something he would also do if a stranger was slowly pulling him into a dark forest.
Turning her to face him he leaned in so his lips were next to her ear.
"Please dont scream okay?" He felt her shiver at his touch. Pulling back he saw her nod her head.
He slowly removed his hand from her face. Her cheeks were red and was shaking slightly.
"W-what are you?" she stuttered.
He sighed. It was time to tell her but he trusted her. "Im half human."
She raised her eyebrow, and composed herself,leaning in she smiled sarcastically. "And what?"
"Greek god" Leo continued.
She froze. Well something is wrong. "Your lying"
"i wish we were" Nico snapped.
Percy gave her a questioning look. She took a deep breathe and looked at them dead in the eyes. "Because im also a demigod"The three of them froze. "Im a daughter of Aphrodite, blessed by Athena, Hecate and Artemis"
That didnt go as excepted.
Hermione's POV
She frowned at Harry. Somethings off about both him and Ron. They never acted this way around her before and how they were treatimg Percy? Lets just say she'sfurious with the both of them.
She doesnt want to admit it. But she developed a little crush on Percy. For one he was sweet but secretive, he doesn't like attention and is kind of funny but she will never know that for sure until he opens up to her. But all in total he was a mystery. And she loves mysteries.
Back to the Harry and Ron Problem. Ever since the trip to Hogsmead they were acting different. It started with the glares and scowls but soon they would literally make fun about him, spread rumors and- let's just say they were making his life miserable.
And by looking at the Slytherin table and the new kids Leo's table Ravenclaw, that they also were against them.
She tilted her head at the young girl percy always talks to. Lily she thinks. She was sadly picking at her food. Hermione smiled. It was clear she got used to Percy's company even though its been three days. Not to mention that she herself developed a crush on him.
Pursing her lips she walked over to Lily sitting in front of her. The young girl looked up in shock.
"My names Hermione" She greeted kindly.
Lily looked at her warily. Hermione felt a sudden burst of guilt erupt in her chest. She knows what the other wizards her age think about her for befriending a Slytherin and tried to stop it once. Instead the bullying got more frequent so Hermione decided to stop.
"I know" she whispered. Lily looked down. Her hair covering half of her face. Bht she was able to make out a bruise on her cheek.
"Who did that to you?" she questioned.
Lily winced and tears prickled her eyes. "They hit me"
"Yes but who?" Hermione urged.
"None of your buisness!" Lily yelled. She got up and ran out the great hall.
Hermione cant deal with this she knows. But she knows who will. Percy.
Time skip.
"Because I'm also a demigod"Hermione took a deep breathe and hesitated should she tell them her heritage would they judge her on it? "Im a daughter of Aphrodite blessed by Athena, Hecate and Artemis"
Percy's eyes went hard. Leo looked shocked and Nico looked like his jaw might fall off. "Where were you during the war?" Percy growled out.
Hermione felt a pang in her chest and willed herself not to cry. She was blessed by three strong willed goddesses for crying out loud why does her Aphrodite genes get in the way of everything?
She glared at him, "I was born and raised in England. And i dont even know what your talking about. It's the first time i actually met another one. Hell i dont even know how to weild a weapon"
Her voice was rising with every word she said. And both she felt her anger rising. Percy just stared at her blankly. He showed no emotion.
Nico stood there looking at both Percy and Hermione like a tenis match while Leo swung on his heels and whistled lightly.
"You have no proof!" Percy yelled out irritated.
Hermiones hands started to twitch "Of course i dont. But you can ask my mother, Athena and Hecate. Even Artemis will agree with me!"
"They obiously will. Your her daughter and your their champion!" that was the last straw. With out thinking she slapped percy's face. Deadly silence fell upon them. All looking shocked on what she just did.
Whats love with out fights. Its called a (real)ationship for a reason.
