When Nicos not at camp (Book the second)

Nico

The door of the dormitory opens slowly and Harry and ron step in. "Hey Nico." Harry says. "a pensieve. what a stupid gift." I look down at the stone basin sitting on my bed. "He tells me to stop living in the past and at the same time gives me an object which is only good for living in the past. Whats that about?" Ron laughs nervously. "yeah parents right." I look over at them and frown. "What the hell is wrong with you two." Ron nudges harry. "so we heard you called in some ... specialists." i poke the silver fluid with my wand and it sparks slightly. "this cant go on anymore. "Look nico. i didnt mean. i just ..." This time Harry nudges ron. apparently he doesnt think its a good idea to press this conversation. "we need to go see hagrid." He says. I frown. "i thought we all agreed hagrid was innocent." "We did." Harry agrees. "But he still might know something." I shrug. "we'll go tonight."

Lucious malfoy that twat. no doubt hes the one whos behind this mess. under normal circumstances i would beat the living shit out of him. But as we are not supposed to be here harry and ron insist we stay under the cloak. the minister takes hagrid to azkaban. lucious fires dumbledore. and finally everyone leaves. we throw off the cloak. I say a few choice curse about lucious malfoy. "Wow you sound like my dad." Ron says. "he hates the malfoys and their pure blood superiority more than just about anything in the world." I harumph. "Pure blood my ass. He isnt even pure human." Harry and Ron double take. "Ill tell you later." "see." Ron says alittle annoyed. "I feel like often when you say youll tell us later, we never get told." But im not listening anymore. "follow the spiders he said?" i ask as i watch a line of spiders marching into the forbidden forest.

the forest is nice and dark and damp and spooky. truly one of my favorite places in the world. i cant imagine why it would be off limits. suddenly the spiders leave the trail. Harry and ron seem terrified. especially Ron. "I dont think were done following the spiders." "dont you remember what Hagrid said last year?" Harry asks. "Never leave the trail." I roll my eyes. "fine. go back to the castle. Im not giving up." And i begin following the spiders deep into the woods. after a few moments i hear the pound of footsteps and harry and ron run up next to me. we walk for a while when suddenly a black dog the size of a pony runs out of the forrest and hapily begins licking my face. I laugh and begin scratching the baby hell hound under the chin. Hell hounds seem scary but there not so bad. i turn around to see harry looking confused and ron pale as a ghost. "What?" "a grim." Ron whispers. "Youre playing with a grim." "So?" Rons mouth falls open. "SO! So its an omen of death!" I smirk "Not to me." i pat the hell pup on the head. "Go back to your mommy." The poor little thing whimpers. i guess it doensnt get much opportunity to play. "its okay. ill come back and visit you sometime."

Ron wont shut up about the hell hound. Grim this and death omen that. I clap my hand over his mouth. "mmhmmh." he says indignantly. "Shush." I order. the hairs on the back of my neck are standing on end. it happens so quick without demigod reflexes you would have missed it. i draw my sword as the first spider drops out the trees.  i stab it through the middle. but were already over whelmed. i hack and slash and stab. whirling and twirling as fast as i can. i draw my wand and start shooting out blasts of magic. not even bothering with spells. finally i find my self alone. No Spiders. but no harry or ron either. just me and a pile of gold dust. "Styx!" i shout into the night. The i see a trail of silk. I sigh. Only with a demigod can an intelligence mission turn into search and rescue.
