Wizards and Demigods: Battle For Hogwarts (DISCONTINUED)

NEW FRIENDS

PERCY

This whole thing was starting to get ridiculous.  I've been offered immortality, I've met Egyptian magicians,  I've helped to defeat an Earth Goddess,  I fought with a Titan Lord, but...WIZARDS...that was taking everything to the next level.  These were literally the Wizards that you always hear about, with their wands, spells, British accents, and everything else!   I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Shortly after we saved Leo from dying,  we set up a tent in the woods, and decided to introduce ourselves to the three people that helped us.

"Okay" said the boy with the glasses.  "Before we start explaining ourselves, lets get our names down."  The boy walked up to me, offering me a handshake.  "Name's Harry.  Harry Potter."  I shook his hand.  "Percy Jackson..."  I answered.  

"Great."  Said the girl.   "Now, who might all of you be?"

We spent most of the time introducing ourselves, and telling each other who we were, and what we were doing there...

Apparently, the girl with the long, brown hair was named Hermione, and the red-haired boy was named Ronald.   all three of them were 17 years old,  pretty much making them slightly older than all of us....

Apparently, the *wizarding world* was fighting a secret war with these people called death eaters (Bellatrix, Barty,  etc.), and their leader, who was some kind of *dark lord* named Voldemort, wanted to purge the world of muggles (or mortals).  Harry, who was supposed to be the "savior" to end this war, was on a quest to kill Voldemort...and save the world. 

Now, in order to do so, Harry and the others had to collect these random little objects called "Horcruxes".   Horcruxes were supposed to be parts of Voldemort's soul.  If you destroyed all of them, you destroyed Voldemort.  Simple!  Right?...

Of course, being me, I believed every word.. I had seen quite enough to believe all of that scist...however, I just had to ask more questions.

" So, Harry, what makes you believe that you're the 'chosen one' that's going to kill this 'dark lord', huh?", I asked.  Harry gave me an annoyed look.  "There are several reasons why, actually..." He replied.  "I've killed him before, TWICE, as a matter of fact, but he keeps coming back because of the Horcruxes.   He killed my parents, and his bloody death eaters have killed several people that we loved and trusted....I'd like to return the favor." Ron joined in on Harry's speech and said "we're all in this for revenge....and to save everybody...".  Finally, Hermione joined in and said  "Anyway, this whole conversation comes down to whether you're with us or not in this quest...so...are you in?"

I looked over to everyone else.  They all shrugged their shoulders and nodded their heads.  "The death eaters burned down our home..." I answered.  "I think that we all really want some revenge....  We're in."

"Good". Said Harry.  "Now, come with us.  We've got a Horcrux to destroy."

The only Horcrux that Harry and the others had been able to find so far was an unusual looking octagon shaped locket.   They set the locket down on a rock in the woods,  and held up their wands, ready To destroy it.  Hermione was the first one to shoot a spell at it.  She tried to set it on fire.   The locket remained untouched.  Harry went last..  He shot several deadly spells at the locket, but all that it did was make an unusual screeching sound, and *jump* away from the spells.  " Hang on, let me try something". I said.  I borrowed Harry's wand and pointed it at the locket.  I decided to use the spell that had caused us the most pain...that CRUCIO spell.  I tried it, and sure enough....it didn't affect the locket.

I reluctantly handed back Harry's wand, as he walked over to the locket in frustration.   He took the locket, and wore it around his neck.  "Harry, what are you doing?" I asked.  "that thing's dangerous!".
