Jason's POV
After a long week at school, it was finally the weekend. Our first week at school ha been great, though when we hadn't been with our wizard and witch friends, we had got lost. A lot. Like, a lot, a lot. But we pretty much knew our way around now, which was good. Anyway, today we had our first trip to Hogsmeade. I was excited to see it properly. Piper and I were going on a date there. I had asked her when we found out and she had obviously said yes, seeing as we are dating. I smiled at that thought.I was getting ready to go out, trying to find an outfit. I wanted to look perfect and smart for Piper. I didn't want disappoint her.
"Jason, in the name of all the gods, just pick an outfit!" Percy exclaims.
"I need to look smart, but not to smart... It's only a day out, but if I look to casual, Piper will think I don't care enough about her..." I say as I look through my clothes.
"Well, she knows how much you care about her!" Leo says, slightly annoyed. They were all ready, waiting for me.
"I don't just care about her, I love her!" I say back.
"Well, Piper isn't like most children of Aphrodite. She isn't really bothered about how people look, you know that," Frank states.
"I know, I know, but nonetheless, she still has Aphrodite instincts. She will pick up on it without really meaning to," I say.
"Oh, for Hades sake, Jason! Pick a damn outfit!" Nico exclaims.
"But what outfit? What kind of outfit? What colours?" I ask.
"Jason. Just wear denim jeans, not frayed or, like, faded, and without holes, with a smart shirt. That will be fine!" Percy says. They were all getting annoyed now.
"Alright, alright. Calm down," I say, pulling out an outfit. I had decided on a dark red shirt and dark blue denim jeans with black shoes. Smart but casual.I met Piper in the common room, and she looked absolutely beautiful. She was wearing teal jeans, a floaty white shirt, which showed her tanned shoulders, and white shoes. She had a small pale blue bag with a long strap dangling from her shoulder.
"Hello, Pipes," I say as I walk over to her.
"Hey, Jason," she replies. I give her a kiss, before taking her hand in mine as we leave.
"You look beautiful," I tell her, making her blush.
"Thank you. You look very handsome," she says, grinning.
"Um... Thanks," I say.After waiting for everyone else to arrive, we were off to Hogsmeade. We walk throughout a large gate, and I see carriages which are to be pulled by some sort of skeletal horse.
"Uh... What are they?" I ask.
"Thestrals," Hermione replied.
"Wait, you've seen death?" Ron asks.
"Yes, why?" Piper asks.
"You can only see thestrals if you have witnessed somebody die," Luna said.
"Oh... Um yeah. There was a war in America, too, so... We can see them," Percy states. "Well. Two wars, actually, but Piper, Leo, Frank and Hazel didn't experience the first one," he adds.
"Yeah. But we can all see them," Leo says.
"Uh... What about Calypso?" Hermione asks.
"Yeah... I can see them..." She says.
"I thought you couldn't fight..." Ron says, as we all clamber tightly into the carriage, some of us in the floor.
"No. I couldn't," she says.
"Well... How do you see them?" He questions her.
"I- um... Saw someone die when... Uh... It was quite a while ago so it's a bit fuzzy... But... I- um, I had... A- um, family member... Pass away..." She lies, thinking on her feet for an excuse, not wanting to reveal to them that she fought in the first Titan war, as the don't know that it was real.
"You sure? You seem like you don't really know..." Ron said.
"Yeah. I'm sure. It was a sister..." Calypso answers.
"Oh... Sorry to hear that. What was her name?" Harry asks.
"Um..." Calypso starts.
"It was Zöe!" Percy cuts in. Technically, that was true as Z öe was also a daughter of Atlas, like Calypso. I had been told about the quest they had been on with Zöe Nightshade, and Nico's sister, Bianca.
"So sorry to hear that. How did she die?" Ron asks. What the Jupiter? The seem to be interrogating her.
"She was um..." Calypso starrts to say, looking at Percy and Thalia for help as they had been the ones in the quest.
"She was... Um... Poisoned," Thalia said.
"Poisoned?" Ginny exclaims.
"Yeah. That, and... She got... um... Thrown at a rock," Percy said. Annabeth slapped his arm lightly
"She was... Thrown... At a rock?" Hermione asks.
"Well... Not exactly thrown. She was... Um... Whacked out of the way, and went into a rock," Thalia explains.
"That must've been a pretty big person. Was it a giant?" Ron asks.
"A giant? Gods, no. They're horrible," Percy replies.
"Hey... It was Calypso's sister. How do you know?" Harry asks.
"We were there," Thalia says.
"Oh... OK," Harry says.
"Well... If it wasn't a giant then what was it?" Ron questions. OK. Something is definitely up with them. "Was it a half giant?"
"A half giant... No, it was a tita- oh. Yeah. It was a half giant, we just call them titans where we are. As a... Joke..." Thalia says. Great, thanks to my sister... It's been made more obvious.
"Right. OK..." Hermione says.
"Well, Calypso spent really like to talk about it. It's very sad. Isn't that right, Sunshine?" Leo says, obviously changing the subject.
"Yeah... I don't really like talking about it..." Calypso agrees.
"Well... We should stop talking about it, then," Ginny says. "Conversation finished," she adds, glaring at Ron, Harry and Hermione. Apparently, they didn't take the hint.
"Sooo... What was your school in America like?" Ron asks.
"Umm... It was more of a camp actually..." Hazel says.
"Oh... Right..." Hermione says quietly.
"Guys, just leave it," Ginny says.
"Alright." Ron says grumpily.
"Fine," Harry agrees.
"OK," Hermione adds.
"Um... What's going on?" Piper asks suspiciously.
"Nothing!" They all say at the same time. They answered that way too quickly. Neville and Luna seem just as confused as us.
