Chapter 4
The demi-gods look between each other most likely communicating who should explain before Cedric steps forward.
“What do you want to know?” Hermione looks unimpressed by this question. She crosses her arms and squares her shoulders, intimidating but not as Tru when she does that.
“How about everything? The fact you guys can read greek but ot english or the fact that you're alive after being dead a whole summer, what about your friends from the states why are they here, how about you answer everything.” The demi-gods share looks again, Tru and Leo seem to be having a silent argument. When Tru steps forward away from Leo and their ‘argument’.
“We shouldn't explain down here, where everyone can hear.” She turns and starts walking away prompting everyone else to follow. They head to the 7th where they then enter the room of requirement or what Cedric called the RoR. Cedric then turns to the golden trio.
“The best way I can explain this is I’m a demi-god. Which is a child who is born to a godly parent and a mortal parent or in my case a magical mortal parent. My father along with Leo’s is Hephaestus. Percy’s father is Poseidon, Jason and Thalia’s father is Zeus, Nico’s father is Hades, Tru and Piper’s mother is Aphrodite, Frank and Hazel’s are different as they are roman descendants. Frank’s father is Mars and Hazel’s father is Neptune. Will’s father is Apollo, Annabeth’s mother is Athena.” Ron rolled his eyes which received a smack not only by Hermione who looked excited but Harry who looked like he had heard this before.
“The reason I am alive now is my Father and the other Gods and Goddesses decided I needed to come back. Mostly for our quest.” Ron lets out a scoff at the word quest.
“Oh really, what is your quest then?” The Demi-gods look between each other.
To the world of Magic 12 shall journey
To protect the one whose prophecy
Is as dangerous as yours
Scar resembling of what Castellan stole
Aid him in protecting his world to save your own.
“What does that mean? Who is Castellan? What did they steal? What Prophecy?” Tru looks at Ron exasperated obviously tired of his questions.
“One question at a time Weasley, you're giving me a migraine.” Leo walks up and wraps his arm around her waist causing a glare to be thrown his way but nothing else done to remove his arm. Annabeth steps forward and stands besides Cedric.
“We don’t know what it means, the prophecies are always vague like this. Castellan is an old enemy of ours who stole Zeus’ lightning bolt. And finally prophecies happen in your world as well. So we interrupted it as we needed to protect Harry because his scar is a lightning bolt and what his prophecy is we don’t know if it's as dangerous as ours then we definitely need to protect him.” Frank looks down at his watch and informs us that we need to go as it was dinner time and that if we were late it would be suspicious. The group of 15 leave the RoR and head down to the great hall. The group split into smaller groups and headed to their respective tables.
Harry’s P.O.V
“You still haven't answered the whole 'can't read English can read Greek thing.” Percy looks up to Hermione and swallows his food before answering.
“People like us are dyslexic because we are hardwired for ancient Greek and our adhd is our battle reflexes because we are practically warriors for our parents.” Hermione nods and continues to eat dinner After a few minutes of talking, we are now laughing at something Leo said about the Stoll twins from their camp when all of the sudden a loud bang is heard. Heads all of the great shoot up but only 12 students stand. Cedric and transfer students are standing looking in the direction of the noise. Tru turns to look at Nico and nods her head to the back corner of the room.He apparently knows what she means as he crouches down and rushes over to that corner and suddenly he is gone. More loud bangs are heard, to which Umbridge steps forward. She starts reassuring students that everything would be fine, that it was probably just thunder. While she was doing this Nico had returned.
“δρακαινα!”(Dracaena) Heads turn his way including Umbridge’s. People start whispering, trying to figure what he had said.
“What was that Mr. Di Ange-” Her question was cut off by whatever was making the noise bursting into the great hall. Umbridge raises her wand along with the other professors.
“Don’t, you’ll only make it angry which it’ll make it harder to kill.” Umbridge looks at her confused. Tru grabs her bracelet and tugs at it revealing her sword. The other demigods follow her move. I look over to Cedric in time to see him tug at a necklace with a golden snitch hanging it. The necklace also turns into a sword golden in color and flaming slightly. More screams are heard as more creatures enter the room. Tru turns to Nico with a glare.
“Δεν είπες τίποτα για χίμαιρα.” (You didn’t say anything about chimera) Nico throws his hand up in exasperation but quickly puts them down to dodge fire from one of the new creatures.
“καλά με συγχωρείτε για να μην δει τίποτα εκτός από το δρακαινα” (Well pardon me for not seeing anything other than the dracaena) Tru turns to the professors and commands them to get the other students out of here. Hermione gets up and grabs me and Ron and starts heading to the back exit but it gets blocked by one of the monsters so McGonagall and Dumbledore use Protego to protect us. The demigods start fighting the monsters, shouting commands to each other in greek. Hermione grabs my arm and whispers to me.
“They’re outing themselves and their skills to protect us. The students and Umbridge are going to have them kicked out of the school.” At these words even Ron looks a bit worried. After a bit of time the monsters are dead, nothing left in their place is golden dust. The barrier gets taken down and the students warily exit the area getting closer to the gold dust. Me, Ron and Hermione head over to the 12 demi-gods who are wiping dust off their weapons. Tru looks to be getting paler by the second. As we approach she utters Leo’s name before collapsing. Leo catches her easily with a concerned look on his face. He starts checking over her body as Umbridge approaches.
“Looks like she was injured, best take her to St. Mungo's.” Annabeth looks over at her with a glare. She steps forward in front of Leo and Tru as if protecting them.
“There will be no need, we know how to take care of her,” She turns to Leo who was checking over a wound she had. “Come on Leo let’s get her to the hospital wing.” Leo picked up Tru bridal style and him, Percy and Annabeth started heading to see Madam Pomfrey. Cedric lays his hand on my shoulder causing me to turn to him.
“She’ll be fine, Leo will make sure she will” I nod my head at his words and we turn back to Umbridge who is giving us a sinister smile. Oh no, they’re screwed.
