"Tell the mirror something you know she's heard before. I don't wanna be you anymore."

   To say it was interesting would be only scrapping the surface.

"Should we call the third class the, 'HP class'?" Will ask Nico, who was causally sitting on the professors desk as the second period class was pooling out of the classroom. "Will, what?" Nico deadpanned while grabbing a apple that one of the students gave him as a welcome treat. "You know. Harry Potter class." Nico looked at Will for a couple of seconds with raised eyebrows before taking a bite of his apple. Will sighed and shook his head.
"Get off my desk."
"This is our desk babe. I get this side."
Will pouted, pulling off the perfect puppy dog eyes. "Neeeeks, get your feet of the desk." Nico laughed and moved his feet off of the surface of the desk. Will and Nico turned their heads to the group of students that were just then gathering inside of the classroom. Will smiled his dimple smile and once again, Nico thought he heard people drop like flies. "Hello class. If your waiting for me to list assign seats, you guys don't have any as of right now. Gryffindor on the left, Slytherin on the right. This will be a relatively easy class so don't expect to much homework. Go ahead and take your seats." The students scuttled around for a bit, trying to get situated. When they did Will brought out his wand and flicked it towards the chalk board. The chalk began writing the sentence,
Greek mythology, the titans.
As Will began to teach with his hands moving rapidly as he spoke, Nico looked at him lovingly. Adored would be the proper word to describe Nico's feelings right then. He tore his eyes away a couple of times to look over at the class, making sure that no one was slacking off. Apparently, everyone was fixed on listening to Will. After awhile of staring at Will, Nico looked up at the clock and noticed that it was his turn to teach. Will glanced at Nico to see if he was ready. Nico gave a nod.
"Okay guys. That's all for today. It's time to switch classes. Hopefully the girls brought pants like McGonagall instructed. If you didnt, you'll have to sit out of a part of the lesson." Will pointed towards a door, a locker room of sorts. "Okay ladies, go ahead and go change. We'll give you around Fifteen Minutes." The girls all rushed into the room, some staying in the seats since they already had pants on. The students waited and indulged themselves in mindless chatter or even questioning their new professors. A girl with bushy hair raised her hand to be called on by Nico. He recognized her. It was Hermione. "Yes, Hermione?" Hermione beamed at the fact that he remembered her name.
"Are you and professor solace together?" Hermione asked, her head tilted in pure curiosity. Nico, who wasn't prepared for that kind of question, put his face into his hands. His ears peaking out were a very visable shade of red. Will laughed at how flustered Nico had gotten and answered Hermiones question for him. "Yep. We've been dating since we were 14 and 15. Which was 6 years ago." That started a uproar.
"That long?!"
"You guys must know everything about eachother!"
"Wow. I can't even keep a relationship for two weeks."
"You guys are twenty and twenty one? That's so young to be teaching.."
Will waved his hands. "Settle down guys." The students piped down just a but before one of the girls asked, "how did you guys meet?" Nico looked down at his watch, they had about five minutes before starting his lesson. Might as well tell the story. "Well. Solace and I stay at a camp that takes in people with ADHD, Delexia and that have Greek heritage. Solace was the camp doctor when he was fifteen, he still is. One day I got hurt and had to stay in the Infirmary for three days under his watch. That's how we met." The girl nodded her head, satisfied with the story. Nico heard someone scoff. He turned his head to land his gaze on Draco. "Yes, Draco?" Draco looked up and grinned menacingly, like he knew something Nico didn't. "Dumbledumb directed a couple to teach a class together? What a idiot." Nico's glare hardened as his jaw clentched. This kid thought he could insult his headmaster and just get away with it? "Draco Malfoy, right? Your father has ties with the ministry of magic, correct? Even so, no one is above the law. And you Draco, are not your father and need to stop acting all high and mighty. One day, someone will push you off you high horse. And..." Nico pushed himself off of the desk, walking towards Draco with his hands in his pockets. "It's going to be a long, painful, agonizing fall." He could hear Harry and Ron snicker beside him. Nico looked up, seeing that everyone had changed and was staring at him in awe. He straightened, his eyes flickering over everyone. "you'll see, I don't take arrogance or bullying in my class. So, don't try." The kids nodded as Nico walked back up to the front of the classroom. "Let's begin."

"Stand up and push your chairs to the corner of the classroom. When your done, put them back." The class groaned at the same time, obviously displeased. "But sir, these chairs are made entirely out of heavy wood-!" Nico waved him off. "Exactly. It's called exercise." The students muttered curses and complaints but did it anyway. After they were done some of them were panting like dogs and others were rubbing their arms. "Now, push the desks." The class erupted in tired cries. "Just do it. You'll thank me later."
They did
They didn't thank him.
"I did it twice as fast as potter." Draco boasted, which earned him a warning glare from Nico and a hiss from Harry. "okay, I'll put you in groups of two and I'll show you the basics of stances." Unfortunately, Harry and Draco were about the same size and shape. Which put them in pairs. Nico made a mental note to watch them carefully.

After Nico showed them the basics, everyone was doing perfectly fine. Except Draco and Harry. Draco tried to start a full out brawl with Harry and Will had to break them up. Draco got a scolding while Harry was just pat on the back. He refrained from punching Draco. That deserves respect. While Nico was showing Hermione how to form a fist, because she definitely wasn't doing it right and he was concerned that she was going to break her thumb, a loud crash came from outside of the hall. "What the bloody hell?" Ron yelled as Nico went into soldier mode.
"Everyone stay in here, I'll check it out."
"I'm going with you!" Will interjected. Nico sighed in annoyance. "Fine! Come on." They both rushed out into the hallway. What they saw shocked them. Before, they were worried they weren't going to have any clues on what they were hunting. Now, they didn't have to be worried at all.
Because on the wall, in blood of a dead girl, was the words,

Fear silence, sons of the gods, your only going to be my playthings in the end.
