Percy and Nico Undercover at Hogwarts

Chapter Thirty Seven

Ron's POV

After dinner that night, Percy and Nico said that had something they needed to tell us, which was good, because Harry, Hermione and I had some questions for them.

The five of us were sitting on the floor of our bedroom.

"Okay, so I have information about the third task," Percy started. "Hermione made me promise to tell you guys all the information, but to be honest, Harry," he said and looked at my friend, "I'm going to kick your ass."

"What's the task?" Harry asked and Percy and Nico smiled. 

"Fighting with and without weapons," Nico said and Harry paled.

"But I don't know how to do that! I don't think anyone here does except for you two!"

"Professor Apollo is going to be teaching everyone in a club."

"Like the dueling club back in second year?" I asked, not realizing they weren't here then.

"Sure?" Percy said, confused and Nico just shrugged.

"Ron, they weren't here then," Hermione said as she slapped the back of my head and then looked at the American's. "We have some questions for you."

"When don't you?" Percy muttered and Hermione glared at them.

"I heard about what happened in Divination," she said and the two boys nodded.

"Yeah, we found out that Trelawney is a fraud like you said," Nico said, trying to dodge the question, but Hermione wasn't having it.

"I'm talking about the Reaper, the Grimm and the prophecy."

"She didn't tell us anything that we didn't already know," Percy said, putting his hands up in defense.

"You already knew about the Grimm?"

"I have a giant black dog as a pet."

"What? Really? How?" I asked and he shrugged.

"She had a little accident with an engorment charm."

"What about you, Nico. Did you already know about the Reaper? About having death in your soul?"

"Yeah, I was cursed at birth."

Hermione seemed upset about their answers for some reason. "We know you're lying. We know you're Elemental Wizards."

Percy and Nico stiffened. "No we aren't, why would you say that?" Percy said, lying.

"Two were in the blue and black cloaks when the Elemental Wizards visited," Harry said and Percy and Nico shook their heads.

"No, we weren't."

Hermione let out a frustrated sigh. "Let's try this again. When the guest came, you two were apart of the group of Elemental Wizards," she stated, daring them to disagree.

They both sighed and slumped their shoulders. "How did you know?" Nico asked and Hermione smiled, proud of herself that she broke them down.

"Professor Apollo told us, but he told us not to tell anyone otherwise he would expel us. We all agreed not to say anything to you guys because we didn't know if we were allowed to, but I wanted to hear the truth about Divination."

"Who all is 'us?'" Percy asked.

"Is it just you three?" Nico added and we shook our heads.

"It's the three of us, Fred, George, Ginny and Neville," I explained.
