The Chosen One (Earth 7)

XXIV) "Tests, I'll Be Your Lab Rat."

That same day, we got word that the guy I threatened and told, 'You'll be the next with that mouth of yours.' was found petrified.

While the 4 of us were looking rather stressed, Matthew and Ron were in their own world of confused.

"What're you guys talking about?" Matthew asked.

"Justin Finch-Fletchly, he's been attacked." Annabeth said.

"We know." Ron said, "What about it?"

"Earlier today, in the library, we heard him and his friends talking about Harry being the heir and we got mad at him." Hermione explained.

"Then I was walking around the library and I heard him talking about Harry again and I might've.. threatened him." I said sheepishly.

"How?" Annabeth asked.

"I said he would probably get attacked if he continued."

Annabeth facepalmed, "Seriously, Percy?"

"I'm sorry. He was being rude."

Harry patted my back, "We're once again on the same boat."

I sighed, "Now all his friends are avoiding me."

"They're avoiding me too, no surprise there." Harry said.

"We need to figure out your powers quickly, this person is the heir of Salazar Slytherin so having snakes by your side is a good thing." Annabeth said pulling me outside.

The other followed, confused, well, everyone except Matthew.

"What powers?" Hermione asked.

"It's a very long story but basically, he killed a monster and got her powers, kind of." Annabeth said.

"You killed a monster?" Ron looked at me surprised.

"Why's that so hard to believe?" I said, offended.

"Focus." She said.

"Well, how do we even test this stuff? You're not stone, my hair is fine, so what do we need?"

"She has other powers you idiot." Matthew said, "Maybe you got her powers just.. slightly weaker?"

"What do you mean?"

Matthew looked at me concerned.

"What does that mean?" I asked again, getting a little scared.

"This is not good." Annabeth muttered.

"What is going on?" Ron asked, looking at the three of us confused.

"Okay, just relax, okay? It's fine, I'm not the heir, I can't be, dad is.. yeah and mom is mortal."

"Muggle." Hermione corrected.

"Yeah, yeah, Muggle."

Annabeth and Matthew seemed more at ease now but they were still tense.

"It's gonna okay." I said and they nodded.

"Who did you kill to get parseltongue?" Hermione asked.

"Medusa." Annabeth said, rubbing her temples.

"She's real?!" Ron said, wide-eyed.

"That's really not the point." Annabeth said, "She was killed by Percy so now.. he has her powers."

"Well, I don't want them, can't I just.. give them away?" I asked.

"You'd have to be killed." Matthew said.

"Nevermind."

"Think, think! I know her powers." Annabeth said, pacing around.

The court yard was empty since everyone was inside still eating.
