A new day. A new beginning. It's finally time to get started with all our exploring.
Last night I figured out Professor Snape was here. That was a shock for me because I would have never gone to pick up a person like him from the station!
This morning I went to the Big House. It was huge! Like a Greek monument.
The inside had a room with a ping pong table and a few chairs around it.
I hadn't asked permission to come here, but who cares?
I carefully walked upstairs to the second storey. It had a few rooms here and there. Probably for guests.
I made my way to the last storey, the third one. It was a huge room, with a million different, rare objects lying in a corner. All pilled up.
Walking carefully over to the window, I saw a chair. It wasn't until I looked closely at it that I recognized a mummy lying on it.
A scream almost escpaped my ugly mouth. I put a hand on my mouth and walked up to it.
"Hello?" I asked, just to see if it was awake.
I heard a rumbling sound and then it stopped.
I walked closer to the mummy, and then suddenly, it moved!
I tried to scream but my voice crouched in my Adam's apple.
"Hello there." was the reply of the scary figure.
" Y- you are alive?" I squeaked.
"Yes I sure quite am.
But are you?
Because your life seems quite dead."
"What?"
"That doesn't make sense?"
"I-it does." I lied.
"So? What do you ask for?"
"Are you a god?"
"No."
"Then what are you?"
"I am an oracle."
"What do you do?"
"I say prophecies."
"What kind of?"
"You are here to examine this camp, right. Your headmaster doesn't quite trust us. So let me tell you. We are perfectly fine, and all the demigods here are in as much trouble as you wizards and witches." The body explained.
"Wha-?" I was interrupted by the opening of the door.
In walked, Annabeth. I screamed for the first time in the past 10minutes.
"CALM DOWN! ITS ME ANNABETH!"
"O-o-oh-k-kay."
"Let's go. You weren't supposed to be here."
"I'm sorry." I shivered.
I looked around me at the mummy. It was now lying dead still. That creeped me out.
I ran up to my saviour and we exited the building.
"Don't do this again." she warned.
"I-i won't." I said, my eyes wide open.
"Annabeth? May I ask a question?"
"Yes?" her expression was suddenly guarded.
"Is that mummy alive?"
She studied me for a moment then said,
"Are mummies alive?"
"No."
"Then? I hope you understand."
I nodded and we walked away.
