"Nico?!"
"Hannah?!"
"What are you doing here?!" We ask simultaneously.
"You two know each other?" Harry asks looking puzzled.
"Yeah. Susan, Nico and I went to the same muggle school and summer camp." She turned toward me.
"What are you doing here Nico?"
"I could ask you the same question Hannah"
"Well... I'm a witch as well as a half-blood. So I come here for school. What
about you?"
"A quest from dear old Dad." She nods and laughs.
"Good luck with that. Well, nice to see you di Angelo!" They walk away talking about something that sounded suspiciously like Solangelo. Ugh. I hear the Aphrodite girls talking about that every time I walk past one of them. It's getting really annoying.
"Who are they?" Harry questions me immediately after they leave.
"People who go to summer camp with me," I murmur.
"Summer camp?"
"Yes Harry. Summer camp. Instead of going during the school year, the school I go to in America, goes during the summer."
"But Hannah lives here. In London."
"Not during the summer."
"What did you mean when you said you serve Lord Hades?"
"I told you. It's complicated." He gives me look. I sigh. "And if I don't answer you're going to stalk me until you figure out what the Hades is going on and won't stop bothering me about it." He looks at me, slightly surprised then nods.
"Yeah. That sounds about right."
"Well at Camp, it's more weapon based than magic based. And we each have a teacher that teaches us different types of magic. When a symbol appears over your head, you become an apprentice to the person who's symbol that is. I'm one of the few that get to be Lord Hades's apprentice."
"Hades is a Greek god right?" Harry inquired.
"Yes. He is named after a Greek god. All their names are. There are even Roman versions."
"That's actually pretty cool." I nod and then start to translate some of my books to Greek. Hectate had to tell me the charm so I could read all my books.
"So introductions," Harry begins. I look up. "Sitting across from you is Neville
Longbottom. He's in Gryffindor. And Next to Ginny is Luna Lovegood. She's in Ravenclaw, right?" Luna nods. Then goes back to reading the magazine upside down.
"Guess what I got for my birthday?" said Neville.
"Another Remebrall?" Harry questions him.
"No," replies Neville. "I could do with one, though, I lost the old one ages ago.... No, look at this..."
As Navill (Is that his name?) rummages through his backpack, gripping a frog in his hand, I wondered what the heck a Remebrall is. I'm being Sirius, what is that?
"Mimbulus mimbletonia," he announced, holding up a pulsing potted plant. (Try saying that 5 times fast.)
"It's really, really rare," Nimvill (Is that his name?) says. Uh oh. He's going to give us lecture worthy of Annabeth, isn't he?
