Forever-Percy Jackson at Hogwarts

Food

I feel Like I have been ignoring Nico which is pretty sad because he is one of my favourite characters. So chapter is for Nico. 

The song is from the Australian legend Red Dog. May his spirit live on.

Nico

I am enraged, how could I only notice now? Multiple unregistered ghosts roaming around the castle. They have been avoiding me all of the time I have been here, and now I finally caught one.

"M-master, umm...p-pleasure m-meeting you," the ghost stumbled, I frowned and scolded.

"Explain yourself, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington." Wow, what a mouthful of a name.

"I...umm, I-Dumbledore allowed it."

"Hmm...and is Dumbledore your lord, or did he get papers signed off from my father." I toke the ghosts silence as a yes. "I see...how many are there?"

"Around, twenty."

"Twenty! All unregistered!"

"Umm, y-yes."

"Wait for my father hears about this." I can't believe this is allowed. 'He will be furious, the amount of insurances and papers he will have to sign and write will be numerous."

"Arr." I glare at him.

"Leave now. Out of my sight, I can't stand to look at something so preposterous." He looks down in shame and leaves. I let out a long breath, great even more work I have to do, I shake my head and leave the dungeon corridor.

I find my friends in the Gryffindor common room talking about Quidditch. As always, they don't notice my arrival until I speak, actually I don't even think they noticed I was gone the whole of yesterday trying to track down those ghosts.

"So, how was the tryouts?" I ask. Just like normal everyone jumps when they hear my voice, then act like nothing happened.

"Great, you should have seen it, Annabeth was flying everywhere and was all amazing, and Ron saved four out of five goals." Percy says excitedly. "They both made it into the team."

"Where were you anyway?" Annabeth asks.

"I had some business to attend to." I reply.

"Well now everyone is here, lets find somewhere quiet to talk about last night." Harry whispers, the others get up off the couch and we walk outside the common room, we find an abandoned hallway, that people barely walk down. Than Harry and Ron tell us the story.

Horcruxes. A word I never want to hear. A way to cheat death, cheat Thanatos. To chain your soul inside an object by killing a person.

"So...you think he-who-must-not-be-named, used this Horcrux thing?" Hermione asked.

"Yes," Harry replied.

"What's a Horcrux?" Annabeth asks. I want to tell her, tell every one, but I want to make sure that is is defiantly what Voldemort is doing before I tell them what it is.

"We don't know. Dumbledore said that to continue our lessons we must have the memory, the whole memory," Percy states.

"How are you going to get it?" Ron asks.

"We have a plan." Percy says. Annabeth chuckles, Hazel is smiling.

"You, have a plan? I never knew that was possible."

Percy pouts, "be quiet Wise Girl." This just causes Annabeth to laugh more.

Once she has calmed down, we leave the corridor and walk to dinner. It is a weekend so we had no classes today.

The great hall is packed with people as we go to sit down, a meal appears before us and I dig in straight away. All that ghost stuff has left me feeling stressed, I need FOOOD!!!

"Remember when Grover started that food fight?" Percy asks.

"You were the only one there, Seaweed Brain."

"Oh." Annabeth laughs at Percy's reaction.

"Remember when Leo got hit by a potato and fell off his chair!" Hazel exclaims.

"Oh my gosh. Yes!" Annabeth half yells. "And then he was complaining all week that his butt hurt from the fall." All my friends start to laugh as they recollect the good memories from the Argo II.

"We should IM Jason and all them about how they are going." Annabeth says. We all nod.

"IM? Like instant messenger?" Hermione asks, "because phones don't mix well with witches and wizards."

"Our friend enchanted our phones so they work" Annabeth replies, she is very quick at making excuses.

"Oh," Hermione blankly says. We all smile awkwardly than continue eating. As always, Annabeth attempts to sneak a little food unnoticed, but we can all see.

"Well goodnight." Percy says, as we reach the common room, we all say goodnight to each other and retreat to our dorms. I lay in bed thinking of all that is going to happen. Then I realise that anything can happen, there was no prophecy for the quest, we have no idea what could come, what lays ahead. With those thought I drift to sleep.
