Nico's POV

I lead Harry to the seventh floor corridor, where the room of requirement was.

Harry didn't ask any questions, so I was quiet. I thought for a while. What would I need to think of for me to find the right one?

Then I got it. I started walking back and forth thinking, I need a place to hide something. Over and over, untill a door appeared.

"How- how did you- you know what? I'm not gonna even be surprised anymore." Harry said. I laughed at that.

That's a point to where every demigod gets to at one point. I guess it's the same for wizards and witches who only learned about what they are when they got older. I had one of those moments when I learned about wizards.

I opened the door. "Come on then, Harry. Let's see what we can do to kill this hocrux." I said as I walked in.

Harry followed close behind. The room was full of piles of random stuff. If either of us couldn't sence the hocrux, it might take weeks, even months finding it. Luckily for us, both of us could.

We started wordlessly walking to the same direction. It wasn't long untill we both stopped.

It was here. Really close.

Then I saw it. A small tiara. It was high in one of the piles. I started climbing up until I got to it. It basically radiated death.

I climbed back down and took my sword out. "Hocruxes can only be killed by certain kinds of objects. My sword being one of them. I could kill one without it too, because my powers can do that, but it would drain me a little, like every time a demigod uses their powers," I explained to Harry.

He nodded. "So you know how to use that?" He asked me.

"Oh yeah. We demigods usually have weapons. Annabeth and Piper have daggers, Frank has a bow and arrow, Leo has whatever he gets quickly which is usually a hammer or something like that. The rest of our questing group uses swords," I told him with a grin.

Then I got serious. "Now, I'm gonna kill the hocrux, so maybe step back. I don't know what's gonna happen," I told him. He stood back.

I stroke my sword and killed the hocrux destroying the tiara and sending the piece of Riddle's soul into the fields of punishment.

"Let's see what I can do about the piece that's inside of you," I said after a long silence. Then I motioned for him to come closer.

Once he'd come closer I put my hand on his shoulder and felt for the piece of Riddle's soul. I found it pretty quickly. I send it to the Underworld and was careful not to do the same to Harry.

Then everything went dark.

Percy's POV

"Shouldn't they have gotten back by now?" I asked my friends. We were on our way to dinner. Frank had gotten back a few hours earlier and I have a bad feeling. I've learned to trust my instincts and I think something's wrong.

"Maybe they went ahead and are already eating," Piper suggested.

Well she was wrong. Neither Harry or Nico were nowhere to be seen and Hermione and Ron came asking about Harry's whereabouts.

When they hadn't shown up at the end of dinner, we decided to go look for them.

"Do you know where they might have gone?" Asked Hermione.

"Nico didn't say. I think he had some sort of plan though. But I don't know what it was," I Hazel said.

"I know a place they might have gone to. It also would make sense for Voldemort to hide a hocrux there. I'd say it's a good hiding place," I said.

"Well let's go Aquaman," Leo said. I still hate that nickname.

I lead them to where the entrance to the room of requirement would be. Now, what would I need to think about to get to the right place? Well it took me four tries, but we got in.

It didn't take much time for us to find Nico and Harry laying on the floor unconscious. They both looked really pale and they were surrounded by this weird aura. I thought this might have been just Nico using his powers too much, but that didn't explain what happened to Harry.

"Harry only has one soul in him now. Nico did it. And I think that was the hocrux," Hazel said pointing at a small tiara on the floor next to them.

"We should take them to the hospital wing," Hermione said.

"Yeah let's go!" I said putting one of Nico's arms around my shoulders supporting him on one side and Hazel took his other arm. Jason and Hermione carried Harry the same way and we send Piper off to get some ambrosia and nectar for Nico. The rest of the group just followed after us.

We carried them all the way to the hospital wing. While walking there I had plenty of time to be worried about my boyfriend who's unconscious body I was now carrying.

"What on Earth happened to them? Put them on those beds. Quickly!" Madame Pomfrey told us as we arrived to the hospital wing. It looked like it was completely empty.

We listened to her and put them on two of the beds. "Now shoo! I need to treat them," Madame Pomfrey said to us.

"We don't know what happened to Harry, but we have a way of helping Nico. Can we stay? At least until our friend gets here? She has something that will help him," Reyna tried.

Madame Pomfrey looked like she wanted to argue, but she did let us stay. Ron and Hermione looked more worried about Harry, but still send a few worried glances at Nico.

I sat down on a chair next to Nico's bed and held his hand.

That's when Piper ran in. "I got it!" She said out of breath.

While Piper caught her breath, Hazel took the nectar from her and poured some of it in Nico's mouth.

After a few hours everyone except Hazel, I, Ron and Hermione left the hospital wing. Madame Pomfrey tried to get us to leave, but we were persistent.

I was still awake around two AM. Hazel had fallen asleep around 11. Ron around 10 and Hermione around 1.

I was still holding Nico's hand. I noticed he started to stir a little. When he opened his eyes, he looked at me questonically. "Hi, Percy," he said sounding unsure.

"Hello," I said grinning now. "How are you feeling?" I asked. "I feel fine. Where am I?" He asked me.

"The hospital wing. We brought you here after we found you passed out," I told him.

"Why was I passed out?" Nico asked me.
"My guess would have been that you used too much of your powers, but since Harry was passed out too, I think the hocrux might have had a protecting spell on it." I told him.

"Who's Harry and what the heck is a hocrux?" He asked.

A/n I know I don't update for a long while and now I did a cliffhanger. Aren't I a great author? So thoughts about this? I would really appreciate your opinion. Good or bad. So thank you for reading. Bye!
