Unexpected quest number 6(would expected Percy to stay out of this one, though)

Suspicious because of a bet

"Snape had to be trying to steal the stuff from under the trapdoor!" Harry said at breakfast. Things always happen at breakfast. "The slashes on his leg wasn't coincidental." Annabeth gasped: "What if he sent in the troll as a distraction?" Hermione looked upset: "Snape is a professor! Dumbledore is the smartest wizard in the world! No one should be able to fool him!" She was a bit uncertain, as the other smartest 'witch' said it. Ron said:"You've got to admit he's a bit" "Evil." I confirmed. "That dude's evil. I won't be surprised if he caught a few Slytherins sneaking out with a Gryffindor trying to stop them, he would probably take points off Gryffindor for being a 'bad influence'." I traced the 'bad influence' part with air quotes. Will cut into our conversation: "But maybe he's working undercover and pretend to hate us?" Nico rolled his eyes at his boyfriend: "Will, that does not make sense." They proceeded into an argument about double agents. "We're going to have to ask Hagrid about this." Harry stated. Well, that does make sense, since Hagrid is enormous, and his pets probably are.

"You saw Fluffy? Listen, tha' was Dumbledore's an' Nicolas Flamel's business, and don't you go an' stick ya noses into the busines" "Aha!"

The next few weeks were spent burying ourselves in books. Thanks to Hecate, our dyslexia is cured and we can look at words normally. I had to learn, and so did the other demigods, and we got unwanted attention from students. Slytherins jeered at us, and mocked us for learning teh ALPHABET. But with a little beating from Thalia's part, we won the best part of the library chairs! It appears that battle skills travel with time. I mean, I never expected Thalia to win against a 7th year Slytherin. It was out on the grounds, and the Weasley twins were selling tickets. Thalia agreed, on the terms that they give her a quarter of the earnings. People were placing bets, and we betted a large amount of money on Thalia, earning strange looks from people. With Hermione and Annabeth glaring at us, we pocketed the money. "What?" I asked her. "That was irresponsible!" She growled, shovelling the money inside her pouch. "What about Thalia?" Harry asked: "She had 20 galleons!" Annabeth ignored him. I snickered: "You're just biased against her cause she is like your older sister!" Ron frowned: "They're the same age, mate!" Annabeth chased me back to the castle, leaving a suspicious-going trio of Gryffindor......
