Percy and Nico Undercover at Hogwarts

Chapter Twenty Nine

Leo's POV

"Haha! Loser!" Nico taunted Percy over our win. I had made sure to side with Hades cabin for Capture the Flag and we beat Percy's team. Nico seemed to be a sore winner. Then again, we did beat Percy Jackson. That's not something a lot of people can say.

"Whatever, Nico. If I took away your skeletons or shadow traveling, your team would've lost." Nico chuckled.

"Yes, well, you see, you guys can't take that from me, but we can take water from you."

"You're a dick, did you know that Nico?" Perce asked and he nodded.

"You say that like you didn't already know that."

I popped into their conversation. "Will you two stop fighting like an old married couple?" I tried to sound annoyed but I couldn't get the smile off of my face. I'm not just smiling because we beat Percy, but because this was apart of the Aphrodite cabin and my plan.

"We're not arguing like an old married couple!" Percy argued and Nico agreed with him.

"Oh, right, you two are arguing like boyfriends! Married couples don't argue like that!" Before Percy or Nico could punch me, I ran back over to Piper.

"You planted the idea in their heads, right?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yep."

"Good. I think this is going to be easier than we originally thought. I can sense chemistry between them already."

"We should have the Iris cabin throw a rainbow or two into the sky tomorrow. I think that would be prefect," Piper's half brother, Mitchell said.

"Yeah, Butch would probably do that if we asked," Lacy, Piper's half sister, added.

Our plan was simple. We were going to get Percy and Nico to start dating. They were both still sad over the loss of their loved ones and were knew that they would make each other happy if they were together. We also knew that Percy wouldn't start dating ever again if we didn't give him a little push.

We had talked with Aphrodite and she said that she's already started planting the idea of them together in their heads, but from what she told us, she didn't just plant an idea and give them a little push, she basically shoved them into a room together and said, "Now go have sex!"

I mean, you don't give two people pamphlets on gay sex and flavored lube. You just don't.

"Look at them," Piper said as she bumped into me to get my attention and she gestured to the two boys.

Nico was giving Percy a piggyback ride, which was a sight to see. Percy was still taller than Nico, even though they looked to be the same age. Percy was 5'8 and Nico was 5'5. Neeks was still scrawny and was struggling to carry Percy, but he didn't look like he minded.

Nico's POV

"Oh my gods, you are so heavy!" I groaned as Percy jumped on my back.

"I'm not heavy, you're just scrawny."

"No I'm not!"

"Yeah, you are."

"If you're going to call me scrawny then you're going to have to walk."

"Fine, you're not scrawny, you're just short."

"Aren't those just synonyms?"

"I don't know."

"Whatever."

I kept walking with Percy on my back until we got to the campfire.

"Let there be light!" Leo shouted as set his hands on fire and sent a fireball into the fire pit. Everyone cheered and the fire grew higher. Leo bowed. "Congratulations to the blue team for victory!" Leo shouted and the cheering grew louder and the fire grew higher. "Now who has the marshmallows!"
