Heroes of Hogwarts: Being Brave is Believing in Yourself

Chapter 22

At Camp Half-Blood and over the US:
"STOLLS!" Katie Gardener yelled as she woke up with shocking pink hair. Her cabin didn't react. They were used to these kinds of mornings.

"ARGH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TRAVIS STOLL! I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE MY BOYFRIEND!" Katie was beyond angry. She thought this would stop when she started dating Travis. She thought no pranking would be a bonus to Travis's perfect personality and cuteness.....

"You called dear?" Travis's head popped up from the Demeter cabin's porch railing.

Katie stopped fuming for a second to admire Travis's perfect troublemaker grin and matching eyes.

Then, as Connor appeared and started laughing with a camera in his hand, Katie lost it.

"YOU STUPID STOLL BROTHERS! I don't care about all these stupid pranks! You just don't stop! DON'T YOU RUN AWAY. GET BACK HERE! I SWEAR BY CHAOS I'LL-"

Katie was cut off by Travis, who suddenly stopped running as Katie was chasing him. They crashed into each other and landed,
Travis on top of Katie, right by the strawberry fields.

Travis pinned Katie's arms down and pecked her lips. "You look cute with pink hair."

Katie growled. As wonderful as any kiss was from Travis, she was still mad. "And you'll be cute when I chop you into tiny pieces and roast you for the naiads."

Travis feigned a hurt look. "I thought you liked me?!"

Katie couldn't resist. She craned her neck upward and kissed him. "No, Travis Stoll, I love you." She whispered.

"Good to know. Now you won't kill me." Travis smirked.

Katie arched an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?"

Travis nodded, grinning like a little kid.

"Positive?" Katie asked.

Travis continued nodding.

"Absolutely sure that I won't strangle you with the grass and strawberry plants that are slowly climbing up your leg right now?" It was Katie's turn to grin as she watched Travis run away squealing to Connor.

She laughed.

Then the sirens went off.

"Ow!" Katie winced. "When did we even get sirens?" She asked herself. Stumbling to her cabin, she put on armor and put her cabin in order.

They headed to the dinner pavilion in an orderly line. She rolled her eyes when she saw the Hermes line-rowdy and clumped together, not even a line. More like a cluster of demigods.

In the pavilion, all the cabins gathered together. Chiron was at the front of the group, and he addressed everyone.

"Ah-HEM! Demigods, I have grave news. Camp Jupiter is under attack." He said. Everyone started talking all at once, and Chiron held up his hand for silence.

"They need reinforcements. The Amazons and Hunters are already close to them, so they will help first. But Camp Jupiter also has New Rome to protect. I called the Party Ponies to help us travel."

Malcolm nodded. "Centaurs bend time."

Clarisse held up her spear. "Let's go kill some monsters!"

Everyone cheered. Katie fidgeted.

Suddenly arms were snaking around her waist and hands were over her eyes.

"Hi, Travis," Katie said.

"Hmph. You're no fun." Travis said as Katie turned around.

"When does the dye come out?" Katie asked.
