I woke the next morning to Nico moving about the room trying to find something.
"Did you lose something Neeks?" He sighed but didn't look at me.
"First of all, don't call me Neeks. Second, yes I did. I can't find my bag of ambrosia or my dagger." I stood slowly and popped my back as I stood.
"I would check for the ambrosia with the healers and as for the dagger ask Emma. I think she said she found one last night before we all went to bed." Nico nodded and quickly left the room we were in to find Emma, or one of the healers. I chuckled as he tried to run out of the room and and ended up sliding into the wall next to the door. Turning back to the window I began to debate what we should do to get to America. I was thinking of ways to maybe contact one of the gods but realized that if I did that I would need at least one drachma and no one at the castle entered with one so we had none. With a deep breath I stood from my window moved to wake everyone up for breakfast.
After we all made it down to the hall and were enjoying breakfast when Professor Potter sat down next to me. I looked to Nico on my other side and let out a brief snort when I saw him stuffing food in his mouth as fast as he could.
"Dude, Neeks, are you starving?" He shot me a glare and went back to shoveling food into his mouth. It made me happy he was eating so much. Chuckling I turned back to my food when one Mr. Potter tapped my shoulder.
"Do you think you could overview my class today? I want to see if we could include some of your people into our classes. And maybe start a class to teach the kids physical defense." I nodded thoughtfully and turned back to Nico.
"Hey Neeks, do you think you could take care of my training today? I am gonna help Mr. Potter with his class for a bit." After a quick glare he nodded reluctantly.
"Fine. You know eventually you have to slow down right?" Putting a hand over my heart I let out a brief gasp.
"Should I just wander away for a few years then? Take a break and breath?" Nico's head shot up as did all of my family who was near by. He stood quickly and I could swear that at that moment he wanted to kill me. I chuckled weekly as he glared down at me.
"If you ever do that again, I swear to all the gods, I will hunt you down and kill you." I'm pretty sure there was an audible gulp that earned me a strange look from one Potter. I smiled weakly at him as Nico slowly sat back down in his chair and continued to glare at me.
"What is that about?" I turned to Professor Potter and sighed.
"I, uh, kinda disappeared for a couple hundred years a while back but it's fine." He stared at me for a few seconds before he finally spoke.
"How old are you? If you don't mind my asking?" I chuckled as I rubbed the back of my neck.
"I actually, um, don't remember." After a brief face palm on his side he leaned around me to speak with Nico.
"How old is he?" Nico counted on his fingers a bit before he shrugged.
"Beats me." At that point a voice popped up behind us that belonged to none other then Phoebe.
"He's just under 5,000 years old. Honestly why do I keep try?" I leaned back in my seat to see Phoebe and gave her a smile.
"Thanks Phoebes. You know we haven't had much of a chance to catch up lately. We should do that soon." Phoebe nodded happily and walked to her seat. I turned back to the conversation happening when I realized it was about me.
"No way are you guys almost 5,000 years old. It's not possible." I shrugged and thought for a moment before I spoke up.
"Potter, think of it this way, Hogwarts changes every year right?" When he nodded I continued, "The castle we were in had a similar magic just over time. It could change the time in and around it whenever it wanted. Just like those stairs. Some people are more connected to it. And some even understand it. Like me, I can understand the will and urges of Hogwarts and our castle. Magic is amazing isn't it?" He just stared at me for bit before he nodded slowly. I nodded happily before I noticed McGonagall walking towards us. I pointed to her and professor Potter turned to her.
