Demigods and Wizards

What's next?

Harry's POV:

After Transfiguration we headed to Charms, we had it with Slytherin, yesterday we already had this class with them, but apart from Malfoy annoying everyone the others were very silent, especially the new students.

We got to the Charms Classroom, but to my surprise noone was there yet. The exchange students practically sprinted out of class, how are they not here? I sat down next to Ron and Ginny sat behind us, waiting for Hermione. Slowly all of the students walked into the room and sat down. The exchange students were nowhere to be seen. A few minutes before the bell rang Percy, Hazel, Piper and Jason walked in and sat down in the back. Piper and Jason sat together, and Percy sat With Hazel. They all looked nervous, especially Percy. Professor Flitwick walked in and stood on a stack of books.

After a long and boring double lesson with Flitwick we finally headed to lunch. The exchange students sat down at the Ravenclaw table, they looked like they were arguing. We sat down at the Gryffindor table, and I remembered that I wanted to ask Hermione some questions.

"Hermione, do you know what are demigods?"

"They were children of a god and a mortal in Greek mythology. Why are you asking?"

"Some strange stuff happened during Divination..." I started to say, but Ron interupted me.

"Don't say you believe it! Trewalney was just playing around, like the years before... Do you seriously believe that she is capable of telling a prophecy?"

"This was real, she did the same thing in third year, she talked about Sirius and Voldemort, it all came true. She was the one tellin the prophecy about me and Voldemort years ago."

"What did she say?" Hermione asked. "Do you remember it?"

"Wizards and Demigods unite,

when death beyond Hades revives. 

Darkness arrives to take revenge, 

On heroes who escaped death. 

The two must see the fire again,

 And Weast shall meet the stars afresh." I said

"The lair of death, she said On heroes who escaped the lair of death." Ginny corrected me.

"What can this mean? Demigods don't exist, they are just myths..." Hermione looked abit confused.

"I don't think we should take this that seriously, McGonagall didn' talk about it, but she definiately knows about it..." Ron said.

I didn't like this idea, but I nodded. We shouldn't be the ones thinking about this, the teachers will figure it out.

Annabeth's POV:

"What should we know? Go on a quest?" Piper asked

"No, McGonagall will talk to Cheiron, he will tell us what we should do." Jason replied.

I was just listening to their conversaiton, staring at my food. I was holding Percy's hand under the table. I can't do it again, I can't go there again.

"Any idea what the lines mean?" Hazel spoke.

"It is about us..." I spoke for the first time.

"What do you mean?" Frank said.

"Death beyond Hades, that Is tartarus. Heroes who escaped the lair of death. That is literally us almost dying because of Arachne's lair. Tartarus is coming for us..."

"This is amazing, first Kronos, then Gaia, and now Tartarus... Who will be the next one? Chaos himself?" Percy said.

"This prophecy is so strange, it is not just nonsense, we can actually solve it." Hazel said.

"McGonagall talked baout their prophyecy's, they are a bit more concrete than our prophecy's. She told us the prophecy about Harry too..." Piper noted.

They continued to talk until we had to get to our next lesson. Luckily we had it with the Slytherin's and I could stay with Percy. I tried not show it but I was terrified. I can't go back there, I can't fight him again.

I sat down next to Percy in the front and we waited for Professor Delacour to start our double Defense against the Dark Arts class. The teahcer arrived and started the lesson.

"Today we are going to go through some o the spells you learnt before and need for the NEWTs, we are gping to try and do them non-verbally too. Please stand up!"

When I stood up I felt a bit dizzy, but a few seconds later I got better. Professor Delacour waved her wand and the desks moved to the edge of the classroom. The dizziyness hit me again, and I realised that I was going to faint.

"Percy..." I called out but before I could finish the sentence everything went dark.

Percy's POV:

I heard Annabeth call my name and I turned around. She was pale and I knew something was wrong I stepped in her direction, her eyes rolled back and fainted. Luckily I managed to catch her. Everyone went silent and stared at us.

"Percy take her to the infirmary, Madame Pomfrey will help, then if you you made sure she is okay come back to class.

I nodded and carried Annabeth out. I headed towards the infirmary, when I entered I saw Madame Pomfrey sorting some medicines. She heard the door open and immeadiately rushed to us. I put Annebth down on one of the beds and told her what happened.

"Was she stressed about something?" she asked

"Yes" I answered immeadiately.

"Then that must be the problem."

She gave hersome medicines and a few minutes later Annabeth woke up.

"She has to stay here so I can make sure she will be alright, you can go back to class now."

I looked at Annabeth, I was worried about her, I didn't want leave her alone. Especially now after the prophecy. She just smiled at me.

"You can go Percy, I will be fine"

I headed back to class, when I opened the door everyone stopped for a moment, looking at me then got back to the charms they were practising. I walked to my friends.

"Is she alright?" Piper asked, a worried look on her face.

"Yeah, she was just a bit too stressed about the prophecy"

The others told me what spells we had to practice, I tried to do them, but I couldn't focus. Luckily after DADA I didn' have a lesson, I will have Astronomy at night. I spent the afternoon in the infirmary with Annabeth. She was feeling much better, but Madame Pomfrey didn't let her go to class. She was supposed to have Transfiguration... She didn't like the idea of missing from a class, but she didn't have a choice. We talked a lot, I tried to joke around to cheer her up and make her forget about how worried she was.

Madaem Pomfrey let her out a few hours later, and we went to the relax/study room to do our homework.

"Hey" Hermione said, as she walked up to our desk.

"Hello" we replied.

"I hope you are better Annabeth, I thought you might need the notes from Transfiguration today, so if you need mine I can lend them to you." Hermione said, a smile on her face.

"Yeah, I am much better, and I appreciate those notes." Annabeth replied smiling back and taking Hermione's notebook.

The days following went better, no new prophecy's were revealed and noone paniced luckily. I thought a lot about the try-outs for quidditch. I still had doubts but I decided that I will take the risk.

1218 words. I hope you enjoyed this chapter too, the next one will be the Quidditch try-outs as I promised...
