The Fifteenth Child

Ch. 18

||TIMESKIP TO WHEN THEY ALL GET BACK TO THE CASTLE||

Percy: *putting his sister down on the pavement as everyone arrives* Alright, as much as I hate doing this, we have to stage it. *turns to Annabeth, Nico, Frank, Jason, Piper. Hazel* Let's go. *turns to Albus, Scorpius, Kat, and Ari* I hope we don't have to see each other in bad times. *smiles, then mounts Mrs. O'Leary with Annabeth, then disappears. Frank and Hazel fly away, as well as Jason and Piper. Nico shadow travels away and only the five kids are left*

Kat: Let's go guys. We don't have much time.

Jaycee: *still passed out from fatigue. In her sleep, she almost punches Albus in the nose*

Kat: *looks at Albus and Scorpius* Are either of you actually strong?

Albus: *exchanges glances with Scorpius* So, work together?

Kat: *laughs* Yeah, and hurry up. Get her into the Slytherin common room. I think everyone is in classes right now, so it should be clear. Meet me in the Gryffindor common room in 20, so we can discuss our next move.

Ari: *She yawned, rubbing her eye like a child.*

Scorpius: *pauses* So how are we going to carry her?

Kat: *starting to get annoyed* I don't know, just figure it out! I have to go and distract some people, so use your brains people! *runs into the castle*

Ari: *She mumbled to her owl.* Send this to- *the rest of what she was going to say was inaudible, and the owl flew off with a small parchment rolled up in its talons.*

Scorpius: *shrugs and picks Jaycee up. Laughs as Albus put her on his back*

Albus: *to Scorpius* Just pretend like you guys are running away from me. I'll give you 10 seconds to run to the Slytherin common room.

Scorpius: *takes off running*

//IN THE SLYTHERIN COMMON ROOM\\

Scorpius: *taking deep breaths* My God, Albus. How are you so fast?

Albus: *shrugs* I dunno. *pulls the blanket over Jaycee*

Scorpius: *stands up from the chair he was sitting in* We should probably go to classes. I'll take notes for her.

Albus: *nods in agreement* Let's leave a note for her. *writes on a small post-it: Scorp is taking notes for you, so don't worry. Hope you recover soon and do it well :)*

Albus and Scorpius: *both leave the common room and head to classes*

//HUFFLEPUFF COMMON ROOM\\

Ari: *She wheeled back to her common room, ready to pass out.*

//GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM\\

Kat: *plops down on the couch* Ugh. This has been exhausting. *checks watch* Well, they have ten minutes to get her. I don't know if any of them actually-- *screams because right in front of her is a hippogriff* Uh-uh... *scans her mind, thinking of something she knew about hippogriffs* *bows slightly keeping her eyes on the creature the whole time*

The hippogriff does not bow back, instead charging at Kat, and her not being fast enough to move

||End of Scene||

||With Jaycee||

Jaycee: *sits up on the couch gasping. She becomes a bit confused when all she sees is yellow. For moment she feels around her eyes and find the end of a sticky note* *mutters* Wow, thanks guys. *slowly sits up and leans on the armrest for support* Classes should be over by now, so I guess I'll see what's up with Kat. *starts walking to the Gryffindor common room when she hears a thud, then she starts sprinting*
