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

Crisis

-----

I realised that the entire last chapter was written in the wrong tense, so I went back and fixed it.

I also added a few small things. (not really important to the story, more to the character development)

Nico di Angelo

He waited until everyone in the dorm had walked down for breakfast the next day before opening the bed's curtains. All other beds were already made and the dorm was eerily silent. He tried to stand up but as soon as he did his vision started swimming with black dots. He was still in shock from the nightmare he had the night before. His hands were shaking a bit.

Taking a few deep breaths, he tried to think back on the dream.

That horrible, horrible dream.

The dream was about Sophia and Liam, the demigods who had travelled to London to celebrate their anniversary. Although it didn't look like they were doing much celebrating. In fact, the only thing they could focus on doing was running for their lives, hand in hand. The street they ran on was completely empty. It was dark, only a few street lamps shone a yellow light on the dark asphalt. They looked terrified, tears running down their faces. The cold made their breath show up as white clouds in front of them. Three dark figures with wands were running after them, occasionally firing spells. The last thing he saw before Harry woke him up was one of the spells hitting Liam directly in the back, making him fall over.

It dawned on him then. They were being chased by wizards. Aurors.

Were they ok?

He scrambled up from his sitting position on the bed and ran towards the bathroom. No one was there, right? He had to make one Iris call. To make sure they were safe. No one would know.

Please be ok...

He arrived in the bathroom, only to realise that he didn't have any coins. Shit. He ran back to his bed and opened the chest at the end of it. There, on the bottom laid a few coins wrapped up in a scarf. He grabbed a few of them, almost dropped them in his panic, and closed the lid of the chest with a big bang.

When he finally arrived back to the bathroom, his hands were clammy with sweat and his breathing was a bit short. He didn't care. Only his two friends from home mattered right now. He slammed the bathroom door shut and locked it, making sure that no one could accidentally walk in.

He acted by muscle memory and created the rainbow in the sink. It was a bit weak, but it didn't matter. With shaking hands, he tossed in a coin. It disappeared.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Sophia Smith." He muttered. His eyes were staring intensely at the rainbow in front of him. Waiting.

Waiting.

Nothing happened. His brows furrowed.

He tried again.

And again.

And again, but this time he tried to reach Liam instead.

Nothing.

Harry Potter

He sat together with his best friends in the great hall. His breakfast was almost finished by now, only half of a boiled egg remained. Nico still hadn't shown up.

He was getting a bit worried. Did his nightmare really affect him so much? What would be so unsettling that he couldn't bother to show up to breakfast? He was getting more and more worried with each passing second. If he had nightmares this bad, he must've gone through something horrible. Poor guy.
