The big three at Hogwarts!

The talks

Thalia's POV

The common room was amazing. Very Ares but amazing none the less. By that, I mean very red, the colour of Ares. Clarrise would love it. The room had a cosy homey feeling to it though. That's something Clarrise would change in a second.

 The architecture of the castle was amazing. Wow, I sound so much like Annie, it's unbelievable. I missed my friends at camp. I missed the hunters. Gods, it was hard to think I would be gone at least 7 years. I knew it wouldn't be as long as I thought but it felt like forever to me. 

"Wow!" I heard Harry gasp. I had to agree, it was one of the best things I had seen.

"Harry, if you need to talk, I'm always there to listen. You do know that right?" I asked. "Yeah. Thank you, Thalia." He replied quietly. Gods, this kid is adorable! "Nico, Percy. Can you take him up to the dorms? I'll meet him and Granger down here at 10. You have an hour. Make sure he gets to sleep before then." I commanded to the boys. They saluted and linked arms with Harry to take him upstairs. All I heard after that was Harry saying; "I'm not a baby, I can walk on my own thanks." after Percy scooped him up and ran to the top of the stairs. I could only laugh.

Soon enough, 10 came around.

Harry's POV

Percy and Nico linked arms with me and dragged me to the stairs after Thalia commanded them to take me to the dorms. When we got there, Percy picked me up and ran up the stairs despite my protests. It was fun though, so I guess I could excuse Percy for that. I mean, come on! I'm eleven for god's sake! They then laid me down and commanded me to sleep for an hour.

I, of course, didn't want to but under both their insistance, I was forced to close my eyes and fall into a sort of sleep like state. By that, I mean that I could still move and things it was just sluggish and not controlled properly. soon enough, Percy jumped onto the bed sending me up off the bed to land back on the mattress.

"Get up, Scarface! You need to see Thalia and Granger." Nico said from his bed. "Oh right, thanks for the wake-up, Percy. It was soooooooo gentle and nice." I sarcastically complimented them. "Just be glad it wasn't Thalia waking you up. All she has to do is touch you and you're awake. Her giving you a static shock is worse than when mor- I mean muggles do it." Percy said shuddering at the thought.

"Right see you later guys," I said to them smiling just a little.

When I made it down to the common room, the two girls were already there. "You're 4 minutes 37 seconds late," Granger told me. "Yeah, Harry, be on time next time! Granger, I don't think anyone really cares exactly how late he is. Sit down then!" Thalia said from her lounging position on the couch by the fire. I proceeded to sit on the floor in front of the fire not meeting anyone's eyes.

"Harry, can I call you that?" at my nod, she continued, "Well, I couldn't help overhearing you saying something before the sorting. Something that's not good. It doesn't matter who it is, it's called abuse, or bullying if it's kids. However, the point is that it's not a good thing if you are constantly hurt or picked on. I also notice how little you ate at dinner. At first, I thought you were just feeling ill or that you didn't like anything there but then I heard your friend, Jackson, say something that, paired with the state of your glasses when I fixed them, made me wonder. Harry, do you have a good home life?" I thought about it and slowly nodded confused what she meant. I was just a normal kid, right? Almost. I just had a stricter family than some. I mean, sure Dudley gets special attention but that's okay because he's their child. I'm not.

"Please don't lie to us, Harry." Thalia put in. "Well, I have my own cupb- room, I meant room and clothes. At least I have my glasses, they may be out of a charity bin but they work." I hesitantly told them, convinced at least those were normal.
