The Crossroad

PJO/HOO World (Library Half)

Jason couldn't believe it. He knew it made sense, but that didn't mean it was easy to accept.

"Jason, what did you find?" Annabeth turned to him.

"Did you know that the WWII wasn't just between Romans and Greek Demigods?" Jason mumbled.

"WWII was between Demigods?" Jason's statement got that blonde from the Shadowhunter group's attention.

"Not just us, apparently," Jason continued. "WWII was the Great War between the Worlds. The two sides were separated: Roman Demigods and Watford Wizards vs. Greek Demigods and Shadowhunters. The Hogwarts Wizards didn't participate in the War because they were facing difficulties of their own."

The other Demigods and all of the Shadowhunters were now staring at the Son of Jupiter. Thank the Gods the Hogwarts Wizards were in the other part of the library while they were in the Restricted Section, and that the others were somewhere else. Things would've been awkward...

"The other group was attacked by a monster," Hermione announced as she found them. "We have to go see it."

"Then we'd better go see what's happened," Annabeth said, her stormy gray eyes clouding over and momentarily forgetting about what they had discovered.

"Where are the others?" Will asked, when Ron turned the corner where they were.

Ron tried to keep his nerves down as to not scare the group. "We're not exactly sure. All we know is that it happened in the Divination tower."

"Onward, fellow comrades! To the Divination tower!" Percy said with a look of defiance on his face. If his friends had gotten hurt, he had to know.

Ron led the way out of the library and through the castle to Professor Trelawney's classroom.

Hermione brought up the rear. She nearly jumped when she heard his voice. "How'd you know they were attacked?"

Hearing Nico di Angelo's voice was as likely as hearing Draco say something genuinely nice about muggle-borns. The King of Ghosts was following in step with her. "The Divination teacher, Professor Trelawney, she came in the library, saying that going to the wounded was too long of a walk. She looked very distressed as if she'd seen something quite terrible and she told me about it, occasionally mumbling that she shouldn't tell me."

There was something about the 15 year old that made Hermione cautious of everything. Nico just nodded and fell back in step with Will.

Will could tell something was wrong with Nico. He looked paler than usual and he seemed to be almost dragging himself.

"You okay?" he asked as Hermione went a bit ahead.

"I'm fine. Just... A lot of death... Must have been a terrible war..." Nico took a breath and with a little forced energy, picked up his pace.

"Neeks, I really think you should take it easy. The others can figure out what the monster was." Will grabbed his hand.

Nico looked up at him as they kept walking. Will smiled a smile as bright as the sun."Doctor's or-"

They turned the corner, and down the hall rushing toward them was the other demigods and wizards.
