Percy Jackson's a Slytherin, Book 1

Chapter 10: Fighting

Estelle POV 

I ran into the great hall panting, it had been a month or two since the second challenge and it was about time for the final challenger last challenge. I saw Hermione with a bunch of redheads and Potter  so I assumed they had come for the last challenge, I ran over and cleared my throat.

"May I sit here" I asked.

"N-" started Ron but was cut off.

"Sure" said Hermione moving to make room for me.

"But she stole my money!" exclaimed Ginny.

"But I gave it back" I responded.

"Why do you even want to sit with us?" said Harry.

"I'm on the run, and I thought that Hermione wouldn't  let me get hurt" I rushed out.

"But I heard that Crabbe and Goyle were your bodyguards" asked a redhead bloke that I guessed was one of the brothers who wasn't still at school.

"They were but I convinced my brother that I didn't need them" I responded.

"How do we know that you aren't here to sabotage Harry, your brother is one of the champions?" said Ron.

"Oh shush Ron leave this poor girl alone" exclaimed someone who I presumed was Mrs.Weasley.

"Oh no they're here" I gasped, turning back around so they wouldn't see me. 

"Who's here?" asked Potter.

"Your friends Seamus and Dean, I think that's their names" I responded.

"Hey, there she is" shouted Dean as they started toward me.

"What do you want?" I asked annoyed.

"Oh you know, to get you back for beating up those  first years" said Seamus.

"Oh come on it wasn't even your business" I snapped.

"It was because they were Gryffindors"responded Dean.

"I can respect you for standing by your house, but you don't even know half of the story" I retorted.

"What story? You were beating up other kids" snapped Dean.

"Wait a minute what is going on between you all" asked Mrs.Weasley.

"Some other first years were talking about my family and friends so I put them in their place, but then these two came up and said I was doing it for no reason. This is exactly why no one in our family's like Gryffindors their too narrow minded, we only like Hermione" I said.

"Well we don't care weather they were talking about you family or not we are going to fight" replied Seamus.

"Fine, let's do it right here right now" I snapped, getting up from the table.

"What's going on" someone drawled from behind me.

I whipped around and saw Annabeth, Piper, Lucinda, and Daphne all standing there.

"Well?" asked Annabeth.

I repeated what I had said to Mrs.Weasley and schedule nodded and started talking again.

"You obviously should still keep Crabbe and Goyle with you" she started and turned around.

"Piper, Daphne would you be so kind as to get Crabbe and Goyle for Estelle, and Lucinda can you go get Percy" she finished. 

"But Percy said that she'll be fine without them and Percy's I charge" said Lucinda.

"I know what he said and I can deal with him" responded Annabeth knowing she was the only one who can control Percy.

"Now go" she barked as they all went off in different directions.

As she turned back around she spoke to us all, "If you want to fight meet us outside in 10 minutes we'll have a stand off (A duel but not to the death (I made that up), if you want to go choose your places or want get people to watch, you can go" she said.

As the boys stalked off she turned around with a smirk on her face and all the people around shivered, except for of course Hermione and I.

"Estelle" she drawled "Please choose you're second and be prepared to fight"

"Um" I said " Hermione would you, I would choose someone else but no one else was here for the whole thing except for them" 

"My pleasure" she smiled and we started up to the courtyard while talking on strategy.

"Well"I heard Annabeth say loudly, "You heard us standoff outside 5, if you want to see it from the front you better hurry.

When we got outside Seamus and Dean were already there with a crowd around them, as we walked forward everybody parted and left Seamus and I across from each other. Then we started fighting.

We shot spell after spell and I was in the lead but then Mrs.Mcgonagall and a few other people came up and  everyone took a step back.

"What is going on here" shouted Mrs.Mcgonagall.

"She was bullying other kids" said Dean.

"I was not, I was teaching them not to mess with us" I sneered.

"Estelle?" asked  one of the people behind the professor. 

I looked toward  the voice and was shocked to see who I did, "My lady" I breathed.
