SEA GREEN [PERCY JACKSON X HARRY POTTER]

#22

"Alohomora!"

"Finally, a sensible spell that doesn't blow everything up," Hermione sighed, sending a pointed look towards Ginny as Harry shouted the incantation to unlock the door in front of them, the Marauder's Map in his left hand.

"I thought those spells were particularly cool," Percy grinned. His face was glistening with sweat, his skin paler than normal. The wizards couldn't help but marvel at him, knowing that Percy was unwell but still managed to fight monsters and laugh about.

"Rubbish. They were unnecessary," Hermione said, rolling her eyes. "Harry, lead us to where Travis is."

Katie squeezed next to Harry, poking over his shoulder. "How can that piece of paper find Travis?"

"It's the Marauder's Map," Harry explained proudly. "My dad and his friends made it back when they were in school. It shows everyone in this school and their locations."

"That's amazing! What spell did they use?" Annabeth gushed. She stopped when Percy looked at her weirdly, attempting to hide his laughter. Her lips tugged downwards as she hit Percy on the back jokingly.

Harry cleared his throat. "Anyway, the map says he's right-"

"... here," Travis finished for him. He sat in the middle of the dark room, his hands and legs bound together by an invisible force.

Katie gasped and ran over to him. She tried to free Travis, but to no avail. "How does this stupid thing come off?"

Hermione racked her brain for the spell. When she couldn't figure out a spell to get Travis out of the binds, she looked to Luna, who had been the one to cast the spell on him.

"Oh, the spell isn't a normal one," Luna said. "I created it."

"How-"

"That's so smart of you, Luna! I mean, bad that you used it on Travis, but that spell seems wicked," Ginny said, beaming with pride for her best friend.

Annabeth and Luna exchanged glances. Luna was a ravenclaw and a Daughter of Athena, of course she was smart.

Luna smiled in thanks and spoke the spell that got rid of the invisible force.

"Is your spell in another language? It doesn't sound English," Ron said.

The demigods laughed silently. Luna had simply said 'release' in Greek.

"Most of your spells are Latin," Percy pointed out. "Luna's spell was Greek."

Travis got up and stretched. "Impressive spell, Luna."

Luna thanked him, feeling quite content. She had never been complimented so many times at once before. Katie hugged Travis tightly.

"Idiot! What were you thinking?"

"I heard that you were possessed and-" Travis cut himself off. "Is the Eidolon still... there?"

Katie blinked, her expression becoming serious. "We got rid of the Eidolons, as well as the Cyclops that was impersonating you."

"Thanks to me," Drew added, raising her hand in order to be acknowledged.

Will forced her hand down. "Yes, thanks to Drew."

"Seems like a lot has been happening since I was kidnapped," Travis grinned, hugging Katie back.

It was quiet for a moment as they embraced, but it was quickly interrupted by Ron's stomach letting out a loud growl.
