Granddaughter of Voldemort Book 2

Chapter 7: Blaise

This was not going to be good. That was the first thought I had as I held one of the swords Atlantia was summoning for us to practice with. We still had about an hour till the session but she wanted to set up some of the equipment she would need. There were multiple gym mats covering the floor with a pile of swords near the mats.

"How are you going to train us with these?" I say twisting the sword in my hand. "I mean this is going to be really hard since we have never held anything like this." Atlantia just smiles at me.

"Oh, I know but I think I can do it." She says looking around the room, "I plan on beginning the lesson by watching a demigod who was a really experience swordsman as he taught a class at Camp Half-Blood before watching it being used against the monsters. Then I will show two techniques before having everybody practices them."

"That might actually work." I say after a moment of thinking about it. "We do learn from textbooks before attempting it so watching experienced demigods may help us learn quicker. Good call." She smiles at my praise but doesn't respond to it. Atlantia continues to set up the class and when everybody arrives, she immediately begins the class.

"So, today like I said last time, we will begin with watching a few moments in my past where I watched some of the best swordsmen I know fight Greek monsters." Atlantia said gesturing for everyone to sit down. I sit down as I feel her powers connect us to her memory. In front of me, I see this arena with a lot of teenagers ranging from twelve years old all the way to nineteen years old. Atlantia gestures to the two teenage males that are in the middle of the mat.

"This is Luke and the younger one is Percy." Atlantia says pointing them out. "I personally never saw this fight but I was able to draw the memory from one of my friends who saw this. I want you to watch their techniques especially Luke. This is Percy's first time with a sword so I wouldn't watch him too much but he does have some natural technique that you may be able to compare to Luke. Luke has trained for years before this moment that you are about to witness." At that she quiets down and the two demigods begin their fight. They go back and forth with their swords but even to my untrained eyes Luke was winning which shouldn't be surprising since Luke was the more experienced one. However, then Percy does this really cool trick by hooking his sword on Luke's and flipping it down so it flew out of his hand. From there, he was able to put Luke in a deadly position. Atlantia pauses the memory there and turns to us.

"That trick was one that Luke taught a moment before and is one that should be known but not truly needed for the battle that you guys will be fighting." She says looking at us, "But I did want you to see a fight like this so you can get an idea of what your training session will be like today." The memory fades as a destroyed city appeared. There were bodies everywhere some looked to be sleeping and others were dead.

"This is the Titans War." Atlantia said, "It was our final battle against Kronos and I think watching Percy fight the monsters will give you an image of what you could be going against." I watch the battle and was amazed at all these demigods. They went through the monsters with the same ease we had when we did spells. Then the memory stops and we were back in the Room of Requirements.

"Alright now that you have seen some battles with swords fighting." Atlantia said standing in front of us holding a sword, "let's get to the practical of sword fighting."

With each of Atlantia's sessions, we began to get quite good with swords and each practice match we all had began to last longer and longer as we began to get more experienced in reading each other's moves but that also meant time moved on and soon it was time for Christmas Break. Atlantia and I were going home with me to my parents so she could meet them. We figure since I have met her parents, or at least a few of them since there is way too many of them for me to meet every single one of her parents, she should get the chance to meet my parents. I am not particularly proud of my parents because my mother is on like her seventh husband and each of her previously ones had died mysteriously. And let's not mention the large amount of money that each of my "dads" have left behind.

When I stepped off the train holding hands with Atlanita, I spot my mother standing with her current husband. My mother was wearing the latest designer clothes and was looking like the perfect pureblood image that she wanted to uphold. It didn't matter much anymore but she still felt she needed to dress like that. My current step-father or actual father for all I know was standing next to her also dressed in very expensive designer clothes.

"Mother, Benjamin." I say in greeting. I have never called my mother's current husband, 'Dad', so I have always just called him by his first name, "This is Atlantia, my girlfriend. Atlantia, this is my mother and her husband Benjamin."

"It is nice to finally meet you." Atlantia says smiling at them. Her grip on my hand grew tighter and I realize that she was nervous. I sort of found it funny because she has been in all these scary and dangerous situations never once showing an ounce of fear but speaking with my mother and my 'step-father', she was so nervous. I squeeze her hand comforting as my mother speaks.

"Nice to meet you as well, dear. Blaise has told me a lot of you and I am excited to get to know you better these next two weeks." Mom says nodding at Atlantia. I recognized the look she gets when she finds a new rich husband. She sees Atlantia as a prize with her heritage and her very rich father, Pluto. I sigh. This is going to be a long two weeks. Mom leads us to the family car and Benjamin opens the passenger door for my mother as I do the same for Atlantia. She smiles at me as she slides into the seat. As Benjamin drives the car to the family manor, Mom asks personal questions to Atlantia who answers them with stride. The questions were about her history especially her heritage.

"Atlantia, there's a rumor going around that you are immortal from natural causes." Mom said turning to make eye contact with Atlantia, "So, what would that mean for Blaise if you two decide to marry." My eyes widen at that not expecting my mom to get that personal.

Atlantia did a nervous chuckle, "Umm, if Blaise and I are do eventually decide to marry, I have the ability to make him immortal with a kiss that holds a promise. He will stay immortal if I continue to love him and he loves me. If we fall out of love, then he will become mortal again." I stare at her. I don't think she ever told me that.

"And children. If you have children, will they be immortal?" She asks again.

"That I do not know." Atlantia responds, "I have never thought of that but that is way in the future. When that time comes, I can find out if they are." My mother seemed satisfied with that answer and turned to face the front. Atlantia visibly relaxes against the car seat as do I. Like I said before, this was going to be a long two weeks.

An: Hey guys, I know this is sort of a short chapter but I felt like this part needed to be in Blaise's point of view. The next chapter will be longer since it includes a little more action. Another note, I have started school now so be aware that if I get too stressed, since I am taking two college courses in addition to my regular ones, I may choose to write only one of the three stories. I would continue to the other two but just to relieve stress now that I am back in school. I will let you guys know if I need to do that but for now I will stay on my schedule. Hope you enjoy this chapter!
