Proving a point. (Pjo/HP X-over)

DADA and Doctors

Nico di angelo.

When Nico entered the DADA classroom, the teacher wasn't there. The students were all sitting in their seats, talking. Someone had enchanted a paper bird that flew around the classroom. It all seemed pretty relaxed.

He stretched his neck a bit (the struggle of being short) , searching for his newfound friends. They had only known each other for about three days, but the trio didn't really seem to mind him. It was nice to have people who accepted him at once, not worrying about who his dad was. That was something new campers had a hard time warming up to, especially the youngest ones.

He saw Ron's red hair first. It stood out like a sore thumb. The redhead was leaning over Harry's bench, laughing about something.

Nico made his way over to them. There was one chair available behind Hermione which he promptly sat down on.

"Hello Nico!" Hermione smiled.

Ron and Harry turned around. They hadn't noticed the Italian entering the classroom.

" hi! "

Nico looked around the classroom a bit. It looked quite bare.

"Is this-" He didn't get to finish as the professor had opened the door and entered the classroom. She scanned the room with her ugly little eyes. They landed on the little paper bird and narrowed with disgust. With a quick flick of her short wand, It caught fire and landed on the bench to Nico's left. Nico couldn't help but shy away from the fire. This was part of the reason as to why demigods shouldn't fight a wizard. All those different kinds of spells could easily scorch someone in a blink of an eye. It was terrifying.

"Well good afternoon class!" her shrill voice cut through the air like an annoying needle. Nico winced a bit at the high pitched tone.

A few people murmured back to the professor.

"tut tut tut, that won't do now, whould it? When I say good afternoon, I would like you to reply."

"now, good afternoon class!"

The class repeated her call in a bored tone. The  proffessor either didn't notice or didn't care to point it out.

"wands away and quills out, please."

Nico exchanged a confused look with Ron. Why have a defence lesson without anything to defend with?

After this, Nicos interest dropped by a tenfold. He couldn't really bring himself to care about whatever the strict woman was babbling about.

Something about "return to the basics."

When she then went on about the course aims and how the lessons would be following some plans, he completely zoned out. All of a sudden, the small pebbles on the floor were more interesting. He kicked around some with his right foot.

The toad like woman then made the entire class read their books. What. A. Bitch.

He tried not to groan out loud and opened his book.

He didn't really get to read anything though. (though he probably wouldn't even be able to do it. The words in the book were tiny. And in English.)

Hermione (out of all people!) had attracted the Toad's attention and was now having a full time argument. It was pretty funny.

Then Harry decided it was a splendid time to interrupt the argument with his own opinion. He even dropped the "forbidden" name. It was hilarious watching the class jump at the mention of voldemort. ( that was in Nicos opinion the most stupid name ever.)

He looked at his friends. Harry had just gone quiet and was having a staring contest with Umbridge. Her face was red from anger and it looked like she would explode at any second. He should probably step in an stop this little fight.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Umbridge was quicker.

"Detention Potter!" Rang through the now quiet classroom.

Hermione's mouth opened a little to show her chock, Ron full on gaped. He looked like a fish. Or percy. Not that there is much of a difference..

Harry stormed out of the classroom, his loud steps echoing through the halls. This was an interesting lesson to say the least.

Will Solace

He had just left the infirmary after a long day of trying to hold Clarisse still so he could heal her when he saw something flying directly towards him.

At first, he thought that it was one of camp Jupiter's eagles or something, but when the bird came closer he realised that it was a little brown owl. It had a letter tied around its leg. The owl landed on a tree branch next to his face and stretched out its leg with the letter on.

Will was about to reach for it when he noticed the little owl's ears. It had two little stupid looking tufts on its head. It looked hilarious. Will could help but laugh out loud at them.

The owl stared back at him. It looked slightly offended. It only made will laugh even harder.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he said to the owl between laughs and took the letter. He was expecting it to fly away, but it stayed on the branch. Will shrugged, gave the silly 'ears' a final look before  walking away.

The owl followed him. He didn't mind. It was funny as hell.

Hermione Granger.

She was chocked. That witch! Th.. That bitch!

The three of them were sitting in the great hall eating lunch. It didn't taste as good as it usually did, the chicken was dry and the pumpkin juice tasted bitter. It was probably nothing wrong with it, her sour mood just made everything else sour too.

Harry was sitting next to her, staring at his potatoes like they had murdered someone. Ron was stuffing his mouth full as usual. Nico hadn't even put food on his plate. He was looking at Harry with soft eyes, probably trying to comfort him. She had noticed that even though the short Italian rarely spoke, his eyes often spoke for him.

"this is ridiculous. We can't sit here and be angry for no reason!" she exclaimed. The silence had finally gotten to her.

Harry looked up. "it is not for no reason. That woman was talking to us like we are kids! Like seriously, who does she think she is!?"

"She's denying voldemort's comeback like some muggles are denying global warming." Nico quietly said with a hint of humor.

Ron looked up. "what's that?"

The mood instantly lightened up. They laughed a bit. Even with the bad atmosphere, hermione couldn't help but savor the moment. She had missed her friends.

Suddenly, the food didn't taste as bad.

Ok, hello! This was a shorter chapter, but I felt like I had to post something. I know that is has been a while but I have been really busy with school. The few times I've been free, I've mostly slept or practiced music.

I update whenever I want. This fic is mostly for my enjoyment and for me to practice English.

Also, I want to clarify that Athenas owl is magical. I thought that, if it's magical it can probably teleport, right? That's why Nico's letter arrived so quickly. hehe :)

Now with the corona virus spreding, please take care! Wash your hands regularly and make sure to keep your distance from people that have been to China, Italy, South Korea and so on! Stay safe!! :D

Thank you for reading chapter 8!
