Heroes of Hogwarts: Being Brave is Believing in Yourself

Chapter 31

At Camp Jupiter:
Reyna completely lost it.

"WHAT?! She WHAT?! How? Why? Draco? Why not Nico or someone else? WHAT NOW?!"

Neville shrugged helplessly. "At least Ginny found Harry. They're at dinner with everyone else except for Frank(who's still MIA), Hazel, and Draco."

Reyna sighed. "Go off to dinner Neville. I'm going to question Hazel."

Neville shifted uncomfortably. "Uh...isn't Draco going to come?"

Reyna laughed humorlessly. "Hazel won't let him leave without impaling anything nearby with precious gems."

Neville swallowed. "Right. Well, I'll send some food for you guys."

He walked away, and Reyna walked back inside the infirmary tent.

"Hey, Hazel." She said, plastering a fake smile on her face.

"I wish people would stop calling me that. My name's Cairo." Hazel said from where she was playing with a rigid Draco's wand.

"Like Egypt?" Draco frowned.

"Yes, cuddly wuddly!" Hazel exclaimed.

Draco met eye contact with Reyna. Help, he mouthed silently.

Reyna muffled a laugh at his helplessness and went to sit next to Hazel.

"Well, Cairo, do you know who you are?" She asked kindly.

Hazel dropped the wand. "I...I-My name's Cairo Levinsay, and I'm a daughter of Pluto."

"Is that all you know?" Draco asked.

Hazel kissed him on the cheek, which made him turn redder than strawberries.

"No," she said. "I know we're dating," cue the flushing, "And you love me."

"Right," Draco muttered. "How could I forget that?"

Reyna looked into Hazel's eyes. "So Ms. Levinsay, are you aware of your step sister and brother?"

Hazel frowned at "Ms. Levinsay."

Draco slowly extracted his arm from Hazel's tight grip. "I'm hungry."

Reyna glared at him. "Now's not the time."

Hazel bloomed with happiness again. "Oh, I'm hungry too! Can we go to the diner past the square?!"

She stood up, pulling a reluctant Draco with her.

"WAIT!" Reyna said, blocking the exit. "Haz-Cairo, I'm sorry, but what year is it?"

Hazel frowned. "1943. Obviously."

Draco gaped at her. "It's 2016, genius!"

Hazel narrowed her eyes at him. "1943."

"2016!"

"1943!"

"Two thousand sixteen!"

"Nineteen forty-three!"

"You're mental. Bloody mental!"

Hazel screamed as soon as Draco finished his sentence. Reyna yelled for her to stop. Draco continued shouting the year. Hazel stopped screaming for a second, then continued even more high-pitched than before.

"I SAID STOP!!!!" Reyna shouted.

Draco fell silent, and Hazel's screams died out.

"Sit DOWN!" Reyna pointed to some chairs.
