"We have much to talk about," Hecate said.

"Yes, I had no idea that you have blessed mortals into witches and wizards and apparently one of them is cheating death using those means. No wonder Dad is angry at you," I crossed my arms.

"Yes, and I decided to finally correct my mistake," Hecate said.

"Why couldn't you do it 14 years ago?" I asked.

"The Fates wouldn't allow it. It was only at this moment that I could do anything. You are the perfect hero for this quest," Hecate explained.

I said nothing.

"Anyway," Hecate went on, "You are right that the witches and wizards are mortals that I blessed long ago with no knowledge of your kind. They seemed to be growing out better and better," Hecate smiled, then grimaced, "And worse and worse."

"I assure you that those chains of immortality called Horcruxes are not my doing," Hecate continued, "A dark wizard had made them and it was passed on from generation to generation. I know that the current user has defy all laws using them and had done the worst of worst. So I came here to help you."

Horcruxes... it rang a bell with me as I studied all things that creates immortality, in other words, enemies of Thanatos and they are one of them.

"So what is this help?" I asked. "Can't you just remove the wizards' curse from me and set me on my way. I've already dealt those two Horcruxes."

Hecate looked pained, "Unfortunately I cannot. Only a wizard can remove it. They have grown in ways that I myself cannot interfere anymore."

"Great, just great." I grumbled.

"The help I speak of is the knowledge of the wizarding world. The safest thing to do is stay with these wizards and attend Hogwarts. Throughout, you will find the rest of the Horcruxes with less resistance."

"But..." I said. Did it have to be that complicated? I promised Will two weeks!

"It cannot be helped. The Fates won't allowed it," Hecate said.

The Fates again. They just really hate me and I thought that they hated Percy Jackson enough for the demigod community.

I sighed. "Is there anything else I should know?"

"Well, throughout this dream, wizarding knowledge will pass through you and when you wake up, you'll wake up with the knowledge. Goodbye," Hecate said, and vanished.

Later, I woke up, to someone shouting, "Dinner is ready!" That jolted me awake. I also felt a wave of knowledge that made my head spin briefly. It was all that knowledge Hecate promised.

After that brief spell, I went down for dinner, with the rest of those people. I still did not appreciate this house arrest.

"Whose your father? I already wrote a letter, explaining everything," Albus said.

"No need, sir," I said, trying to be polite, "I already sent him a message." That was a lie. Hades probably won't care about my situation anyway.

"Really? How?" Albus asked.

I showed him the phone and said, "I texted him."

"What did you say?" barked Mad-Eye.

"'People kidnapping me and bringing me to some school afterwards. Don't know when I'll be back. See you soon.'" I said casually.

Everyone raised an eyebrow but Albus said, "And what did he say?"

"'OK. Just be back soon. You are not going to slack off. Call me when you really need me. Bye.'" I said. That was also a lie but it sounded like Hades.
