Wow, another chapter up! I AM ON FIRE! (Not literally, I'm no Leo) Enjoying the story so far?
Amelia loves Anime: My favorite villain (or, the one I hate the most cuz they're villains) is either the Weeping Angels, because they're really creepy, or the Silence, since they're really deadly (for obvious reasons).
By the way, the Hephaestus cabin made Annabeth a new dagger as a request for Percy, which is why she has one.
Hermoine POV
Yes, I have Annabeth in my group! See seems like someone that would actually read Hogwarts: A History simply for information on the school, and not just because Binns assigned an essay from a passage in the book. My suspicions soon turned out to be true, as soon as I met her.
Piper and Annabeth came up to me, and as soon as they saw me, I could tell that Annabeth was calculating the type of person I was. Looking around, I saw that all the other groups had left except for Harry, who was still waiting for Percy.
"So, you're Annabeth, and you're Piper," I said, pointing to each of them in turn. Sure, I already knew this, but I was never the best at starting a conversation.
"Yeah, and you are?" Piper asked. Oh, right! I hadn't introduced myself!
"Hermoine Granger, fifth year Gryffindor," I said, sticking out my hand, which each of them shook.
Annabeth looked around us, and saw Frank and Harry waiting.
I said, "They're still waiting for Percy."
She nodded, and yelled to them, "Lake." Then she turned towards me, saying, "Shall we go?"
I nodded, and started leading them to my favorite part of the school: the library.
As soon as we entered, I saw Annabeth's face light up, and Piper squint at the covers of the books near us.
"Oh, yeah. I was here yesterday!" Annabeth exclaimed.
Piper laughed, and, after a quick description of the different sections, I led them out of the library, and back down the corridor.
We passed a window looking out to the lake, and saw the boys still out there, standing on the bank of the lake. Why were they out there?
After mentioning this to Annabeth and Piper, I led them outside, hoping they could help the boys with... whatever they were having trouble with.
Annabeth leaned over to Piper and said, "Charleston Harbor." I guess she knew what was going on.
Piper looked confused for a second, then laughed and nodded vigorously.
When we reached the banks, I sent Harry a questioning glance to ask what they were there for. "We can't figure out how to get him up," he said.
Oh, that was it.
Annabeth laughed, and picked out a ruler. Why a-no, wait, it's a dagger! WHAT?
She tossed it into the lake.
Piper laughed, Frank got a look of understanding on his face, and Harry and I just stared at her like she was crazy, which it seemed she was. Why did she have her dagger with her, and why did she throw it into the lake? It would be a pain to retrieve.
Suddenly, the lake exploded next to us, spraying everything except us. Well, everything except Harry, Annabeth, Piper and I. Frank got soaked from head to toe.
A completely dry Percy stepped out of the lake, holding Annabeth's dagger. With a poker face, he said, "You dropped this."
Piper broke out in hysterical laughter, Frank mumbled something incomprehensible, and Annabeth got her dagger back from Percy. After a quick kiss, they separated, and Annabeth came back to us.
Piper was still laughing when she came back, and she joined in. After another minute, Annabeth stopped laughing, and told me that they had gone to Charleston, where they were confronted by some enemy demigods, and Percy was in the harbor. Annabeth threw her dagger in then, just like now, and Percy said the same as he did now, too.
In addition to being a funny story, it was also very adorable. I mean, most seventeen-year-old romances aren't this sincere, or even as romantic, but it was obvious that Percy and Annabeth truly loved each other. I wouldn't put it past them to go through Hell for each other.
The remainder of the tour was mostly Piper and Annabeth asking me questions about the castle and classes, and me asking them about their heritage and camps.
We had gotten up to the fifth floor, everything going wonderfully, when we heard the scream.
3rd Person POV
When Nico heard Luna's name being called, he knew that his suspicions were confirmed. Neville wasn't the only demigod at Hogwarts. Annabeth's sister Luna happened to be there too.
Luna greeted Nico with a hug, which he did not return.
"So, how's CHB?" Luna said in an over-excited voice.
"No new deaths recently, and restorations are going pretty nicely. Except they're probably going to slow down now, with Annabeth gone and all," Nico replied. He wasn't usually very social, but Luna was one of the nicest demigods. She was completely accepting of him, even when most others weren't. Nico would possibly go as far as saying she was one of his best friends in Camp, besides the 7 and Will, of course.
Speaking of Will, Nico remembered something. "Will's going to be apparating into Hogsmeade in about half an hour. Do you think we could go meet him?" Nico asked.
Luna laughed. "Yeah, sure. Why's he coming?"
Nico blushed slightly, and replied, "Well... He refused to let me go alone. Apparently I still shouldn't use Underworld magic, because I used so much during the war. He's coming to enforce that rule. How he persuaded Chiron to let him go, I have no idea, but he did."
Luna smiled, and led Nico outside, in the direction of Hogsmeade. Technically, students weren't allowed to leave school without supervision, but Luna and Nico were more then prepared to defend themselves if trouble did arise.
Once they arrived, they saw a head full of curly blonde hair that shined in the rare Scotland sunshine.
"Will!" Nico yelled, and ran forward to hug his boyfriend.
Luna cooed as Will turned around, and wrapped Nico into a hug. Will was the only person that Nico would allow to embrace him.
"I'm hoping you haven't been using your powers recently?" Will asked Nico.
"Yeah..." Nico trailed off. Will laughed, and Luna led them back to the castle hand-in-hand. Everything was perfect until they heard the scream.
Lots revealed in this chapter! First off, the second of the three demigods at Hogwarts is Luna! How will Annabeth react?
Also, who did that scream come from? Any guesses? If you guess correctly, you will get much praise when it's finally revealed!
Hint: It's not Luna, Nico, Will, Annabeth, Piper, Hermoine, Percy, Frank or Harry. It can be anyone else at Hogwarts.
Next chapter will hopefully be up by the end of the week!
QOTD: Favorite school subject?
My answer: History (I'm in 8th Grade, and we're learning about the Revolutionary War. My test is Wednesday, wish me luck!)
