After the Second titan war, Nico has gone back to doing jobs for his father. When Lord Hades (Pluto if you're roman like me) issues Nico to go under cover as a wizard to finds pieces of a particularly tricky soul, he enrolls at hogwarts to find that...
Months. It's been months. All we've done is studying, classes, homework, watching quidditch. Kinda. I don't really watch quidditch that much, reminds me of Zeus. It's less than a month to the end of school and I need to get to the stone. That evening, as I'm pacing my dorm, I hear a voice.
It's time.
Ω
I run down the hallways, making no sound. I'm covered in shadows, making me invisible. I reach the door and open it slowly so as to not scare Cerberus' cousin. I hear a low growl which immediately stops when I'm through the doorway. CC (Cerberus's cousin) sits straight up and looks at me expectantly. I smile slightly and grab a whole roast chicken from my pocket. Don't ask why. I give it to CC and drop down the trap door, landing on the weeds. I raise up my wand and summon sunlight. It recoils dramatically and I drop into a room. The weeds form a roof over my head, returning quickly. I see a door run through it.
On the other side of the door is a swarm of... bugs? No, not bugs. Keys. It's fairly dark in here, but I can see fine. There's a swarm of keys flying lazily above, and a broomstick in the middle of the room. On the other side is a door that is more than likely locked. No way am I flying, so I look for a key that looks different from all others. The keys are shiny and golden, but the lock is rusted and old. I look around, and spotting the key, I smile. I will the shadows to grab it and pull it to me. I grab it and unlock the door. It flys off as soon as I let go.
Past that door, I see a giant chess board with one spot missing. I grin. I summon a zombie to play in my place. My eyes scan each move the other makes, and I make the best move corresponding to it. I win easily, though I'm now surrounded by rubble. As I walk through the last door, the rubble fixes itself.
I enter a room with only one thing in it, the mirror of Erised. I remember Harry showing Ron and I this mirror. I wince, remembering that night.
I had been wandering the corridors, when I found myself on the grand staircase. I was walking up and down random flights of stairs when I got run into. I could sense someone near by. I saw a silver glittering cloak. I feel my eyes widen, it's part of Thanatos's cloak. He cut off a piece years and years ago, but would never tell me why. The cloak gives him invisibility so he can sneak up on people and bring them to DOA recording studio. Now I know where it is.
I can see it. Children of Hades can see Death's cloak, we can also sense him. Underneath, I see Harry and Ron who seem to be holding their breath. I decide to play along, just for 'fun'.
"Who's there?" I ask, looking around. Harry and Ron seem to relax a little, though not much. "Come out and show me who you are."
They try to sneak away and I say, "I know you're there."
I hear a sharp intake of breath and they look at me. I'm staring right at them.
"You know Harry," I say, standing up. "You and Ron are about as stealthy as an elephant in autumn."
They take off the cloak. "How'd you know it was us?" Harry asks.
"I have my ways." I tell him mysteriously. "Why are you awake?"
"I could ask the same of you." Ron says, being I must say, cliche.
"Couldn't sleep. Now answer me."
Harry looks at Ron, who shrugs. "I found something cool, wanna come?" Explains Harry.
I sigh. "Why not."
In a few minutes, I find myself, Harry, and Ron in an empty classroom, looking at a mirror. I study it curiously, wondering what made it so interesting. Harry was telling Ron how he saw his parents in it, and Ron was talking about him being quidditch captain and head boy when he looked in the mirror. I stood in front of the mirror, wondering what I would see. It was still me, but someone was beside me.
"Bianca." I whisper.
"Who?" Ron asks.
I don't answer, I just walk forward and touch my hand to the mirror. I slide to my knees, looking at my beautiful sister.
"You died so young." I say, starting to cry. "I'm so sorry. It's my fault."
After this I get up and leave, go to my dorm and sit down on my bed. I cry silently. I stay like this for the rest of the night.
I shudder, shaking myself out of the memory. I start to walk to the mirror when someone talks behind me. "What do we have here?"
I turn around, and look at the person talking.
"You." I say in disbelief.
Ohhhhhhhh cliffhanger! I would like to give a shoutout to @elili000 and @CimsonGrinny for being awesome.
