“Who else, Paddy? Hopefully, you didn’t think that your mother was an option,” James teases, only for him and Lily to be bowled over by two sobbing grown men.

“Oof - Remus John Lupin, Sirius Orion Black the Third, you will let us up this instant!” Lily admonishes, causing Remus and Sirius to cling tighter. Lily then sighs, recognising that their ability to get up would be hindered for the time being.

“How, in the name of all that's holy, did you do that?” James jokes, only to be whacked around the head by Lily for his cheek, resulting in James pouting.

“Others that have died may make an appearance, just a quick warning,” Thanatos says cheerily, causing Hades to shiver in apprehension (and not the good kind).

“Nothing good ever comes out of Thanatos being that cheerful,” Hades mutters to Persephone. “I can feel my paperwork stacking.”

Persephone just laughs lightly at Hades, finding his reaction funny.

CHAPTER 10: HALLOWE’EN

Malfoy couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that Hyacinth and Ron were still at Hogwarts the next day, looking tired but perfectly cheerful.

“Wow, Draco, you didn’t want your rival where you could see her?” Fred says with a conspiratorial gasp, leading to snickers from Percy and many other unnamed demigods.

Hyacinth just smiles "sweetly" and Percy just looks jealous.

Indeed, by the next morning, Ron thought that meeting the three-headed dog had been an excellent adventure, and he was quite keen to have another one.

“Of course he was,” Bill and Charlie sigh, despite them both working in dangerous jobs, they didn’t actively go out looking for dangerous and deadly ‘adventures’. Dragons don’t count because,  according to Charlie, they are just massive puppies with slight anger issues.

Many demigods, especially those that have been on quests before, give Ron strange looks, they face death on a daily basis, not all too dissimilar to how he had, and they had never been ‘ oh, that was fun, let's do it again!’

In the meantime, Hyacinth filled Ron in about the package that seemed to have been moved from Gringotts to Hogwarts, and they spent a lot of time wondering what could possibly need such heavy protection.

“It’s either really valuable or really dangerous,” said Ron.

“Or both,” said Hyacinth.

But as all they knew for sure about the mysterious object was that it was about two inches long, they didn’t have much chance of guessing what it was without further clues.

“I’d say that they managed to find it out just fine,” George states, Lily and James look annoyed. Having watched over Hyacinth since their deaths, they were well aware of what had been going on and knew how they found it out.

Lily then looked at Hyacinth sternly and Hyacinth gulps somehow knowing she will be in trouble.

Neither Neville nor Hermione showed the slightest interest in what lay underneath the dog and the trapdoor. All Neville cared about was never going near the dog again. Not that Hyacinth could blame the poor boy. He looked haunted when he’d made it back to the common room.

“Poor Neville, he gets his constitution from his father, you know, always the nervous wreck, unless the time called for it and he was the bravest and most confident person you would meet.” James says.
