Grandson of Voldemort (Discontinued)

Chapter 18

Nico POV:

"love you" I cut the connection with Will and changed. We were still in the room of requirement but decided to head down to class today. 

"So what were you two lovebirds talking about huh?" Percy smirked. But it didn't have the same humor that it used to. I wanted to ask him what was wrong so I could help him, I would go to Annabeth but gosh that woman was scary. Don't tell her I said that. I knew Percy hated pity though so I just smacked his arm and walked away. I couldn't help but notice him flinch after I raised my hand. It took all my willpower not to go over there and apologize.

When we got to the great hall everyone was staring. The entire school had been there when he defeated the Minotaur. As soon as we stepped inside, the entire hall fell quiet and looked in our direction, more specifically, at Percy. 

"What are all of you looking at?" I snapped. Immediately, they started talking again.

"I didn't need you to do that," Percy murmured.

"It's the least I could do for you," I said, before turning to sit at the Slytherin table instead so I could talk with Draco.

--

"What do you think is up with Percy?" I wondered.

"I dunno.  I hope he's ok."

"Well, we know it happened in Tartarus. I was there for most of the trip, if something happened before they fell in I would've known."

"Maybe they got captured." Draco mused.

"But what about Annabeth? She doesn't seem as affected."

"You know Percy. He would do anything to keep her out of harm's way." Draco pointed out.

"Fair point. Anyways I hope he's ok. He's been really overprotective lately. A few weeks before he left, the Stolls put a tarantula in Annabeth's bunk as a prank. Percy freaked out and pranked them back. I don't think it was supposed to hurt anyone, but Connor had a sprained wrist, and Travis had 3 dislocated fingers." 

"Gosh, what did he do to them?" 

We talked until breakfast ended and headed to out classes. Today, it was potions with Severus for first class.

Harry POV: 

I sat down next to Ginny and gave her a quick kiss. After Percy killed the bull thing it had been the talk of the school, it probably still was. I so desperately wanted to tell Ginny about the greek world. She knew I knew something and had been pestering me about it all week. Earlier I had asked Percy if I could tell her,  and he'd said yes as long as we didn't tell anyone else without his, Annabeth's, or Nico's permission.

"Meet me at the Quidditch Stadium after classes ok?" I told her.

She nodded and pecked me on the check before I left and headed to catch up with Ron and Hermione.

-------

After class, I went to the Quidditch Stadium and explained the greek world to Ginny. Then we went on a small date near the lake. I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could have a peaceful year. Of course, that thought was interrupted when I saw a large black blotch right near the boundary.

"Bloody Hell."  I murmured. As I looked more closely, I realized, those were monsters. Their build was either too big, or too snakelike. I grabbed Ginny and ran towards the castle. 

"Percy!? Percy!? Annabeth!" They all came rushing towards me.

"What?!" 

"Monsters." I gasped. 

"Army?"

I nodded.

"σκατα"

"What?"

"Nothing."

We all ran out and pushed through the commotion.

A giant. By the looks of it, and how Percy described him. It was Porphyrion. King of the Giants. 

With a monster army behind him.

(A/N yes this is a short chapter but I'm in the middle of class so yea...)
