Professor Di Angelo [DISCONTINUED!]

Jason Grace

It was time for dinner, so we dropped our friend off at the nurse and left for some food!

When we got there, we noticed that we didn't have a place to give our offerings to the gods. Nico wasn't in the mood nor did he have the mental energy to summon hellfire.

Not like it'd be useful anyway. Hellfire would simply dump everything down into the Underworld, and I don't think anyone would be okay with that. Specifically Pluto or Hades- they probably wouldn't appreciate us trashing their domain.

Then, just as I was about to ask another one of the elders, Nico had a cell phone against his ear.
He started talking.

"Hey Leo." Neeks winked at me. Oh. Gods, no!

"Nico!" I whispered through gritted teeth. "He'll burn this place down!" In return, I got a "Shh!"

Nico covered the phone with his hand and quietly asked the Headmistress if we could have a certain someone or two joining us for a bit. She nodded.

"Yeah, we.. no. Can- you join us over here for a bit..? Meet some new people, have an okay time- yes, we need you for that too. They don't have on-hand fire, you do." There was a loud laugh from the mobile.

I mean, yeah- I don't think he even noticed that he just made a joke. Neeks was surprised, and it took him a minute or two to decipher the joke. When he did, though, he grimaced and went back to topic one. "So you're coming? Okay- wait, right now?! No way. You can't possibly.."

Next thing we know, we hear huge flaps of wings. All the professors, including the Headmistress, Nico and I, ran outside to check along with several students, mostly from Gryphon-galore, or the red-and-gold table.

When we got outside, we immediately saw the big metal dragon, Festus, and—

"Leo Valdez, the one and only Bad Boy Supreme, Super Sized Mcshizzle, former Commander of the Argo II, your favorite repair boy at your service!"

Do not fret, dear followers- if you wanted a Roman to come & say hi, I've already been planning for a certain Roman to come join this journey for just a little while.

Just so you know, the date that this chap is placed in is Oct. 24. I know that the timelines of HP & PJ don't add up, so I'm not putting a year on there.😅

Have a good day!
