Chapter 5
No One P.O.V.
The now 11 people enter the Hospital wing only to hear Tru telling Leo that she is fine that she doesn’t need constant attention just because she got stung by a chimera. We walk up to them seeing Percy and Annabeth smiling, obviously amused by Leo and Tru looking or at last trying to look annoyed at Leo’s fussing but in her eyes are amusement and what looks like love. Cedric approaches the four with a smile of his own.
“It looks like Leo is having fun, huh?” Tru looks over to the hufflepuff and starts begging him for help. Tru starts to rise to stand only for Leo to push her gently back in the hospital bed which produces a groan and an eye roll from the multicolored haired girl. Will walks over holding Nico’s hand and starts checking her over which Tru thanks him for so maybe Leo will finally leave her alone. Despite Will's examination and Madam Promfey’s, Leo still does not leave her alone so Tru decides that the best way to get him to leave her alone is for her to do what she thinks is the worst thing ever.
“Leo!” Leo turns and looks at her concerned and starts making sure everything is okay.
“Leo, if you stop fussing over me,” She lets out a sighs and has a look on her face that says she’ll regret this later, “If you stop fussing over me, I will cuddle with you.” The last part was quiet but everyone could still hear to which they started teasing the two. Leo with a smile lays down next to her on the bed and wraps his arms around her. Tru’s face was bright red and as everyone was paying attention to the two Cedric wrapped his arm around Harry’s waist causing Harry’s face to turn a light pink. After the teasing stops the fall into a casual conversation. Tru explaining what those monsters were, why she collapsed and how they healed her. Their conversation comes to a stop as Nico hisses out the word ‘quiet’. Umbridge walks into the hospital wing with the rest of the professors alone with Malfoy and his goons. Cedric removes his arms and Leo jumps up and stands besides Tru’s bed. The demi-gods share a look with one another and then look over to Umbridge.
“Yes professors” Leave it up to Annabeth to be the voice in this situation.
“Ms. Chase, we were actually hoping for an explanation about what happened during dinner, if you don’t mind.” Annabeth looks over to Tru and they have a silent conversation before Tru speaks up.
“We have been given orders not to disclose anything without permission.” Snape looks unhappy at this news as does Umbridge. Dumbledore doesn’t look surprised neither does McGonagall
“Orders from who dear?” Tru looks at Umbridge like she’s a gods damn idiot, which she is.
“What about ‘can not disclose information without permission’ do you not understand professor?” Umbridge squares her shoulders expecting to get respect from her as that is the same way Tru commands respect but it just causes Tru to look not only unamused but unimpressed as well. Tru stands, much to Leo’s displeasure, she squares her shoulders herself looking Umbridge dead in the eye. Umbridge shrinks down slightly but is standing up straight again when she sees her other professors also looking a bit weary of the girl.
“If,” Her voice commands them all to look at her despite the girl not using any charmspeak. “If you would like to speak with the people giving us orders we will communicate with them ourselves and get back to you. But I must warn you they are very powerful people. More powerful than any Minister or High Inquisitor so you decide if you would like to question them.” To accent her points thunder crashes throughout the castle and by the looks on Jason’s and Thalia’s face it isn't either of them causing it. Tru sits back obviously done with her point and turns to Leo to strike up a friendly conversation. Snape opens his mouth to speak but the look Tru shoots him causes his mouth to shut. Dumbledore bids the students goodnight and starts to leave the room. The other teachers followed his lead and exited the room leaving only the demi-gods and wizards alone. They exchanged looks before continuing their conversation. After a while Tru was released from the hospital wing and the group split once more.
Harry ‘s P.O.V
As we are walking back to the common room my waist burns like fire. My face heats up remembering how Cedric’s arm fit comfortably around it. We reach the common room and as soon as we step into it the fireplace roars to life revealing Sirius. A smile breaks onto my face before I remember the demi-gods also in the room. I see Tru and Percy take out their swords as if ready to fight. They watch the fire wearily like they were expecting it to attack. Sirius must’ve seen them too but let out a sigh because they had already seen him. I smile at my friends and motion them forward. They watch as Ron, Hermione and I sit in front of Sirius but they opt to stand, ready to attack just in case.
“Sirius! How have you been since school started?” Sirius smiles at my question but still looks over at the demigods still weary about them. I look over to them as well and motion for them to put their weapons away. They look at me for a moment but put their weapons away nonetheless. They kneel with us and introduce themselves as friends of ours. We speak with Sirius until Tru nods off on Leo’s shoulder making us all agree that it is best if we head to bed. We bid my godfather good night and Hermione helped Tru up to bed. Me and Ron enter our dorm room and speak quietly about the demigods. Trying to figure out how they are going to speak with their superiors. We lay down in the bed and drift off into darkness. The next time I awake all I see is white. Letting the blinding light focus I realize I’m standing in the throne room surrounded by 12 giants. I open my mouth to speak but I am silenced by one of the 12 giants. Sitting The exact middle of the half circle. His throne has lightning marks covering it. He held up his hand telling me to be quiet. He rises along with the other 12.
“Harry James Potter,” The man’s voice booms like thunder, an ominous omen to the storms that have been happening around the castle. “I am Zeus the Greek god of thunder and you are the one prophesied about, are you not?” I look around them confused before nodding my head hesitantly. The supposed gods look between each other mumbling in what I believe is greek. They turn back to me and stare me down. I take a deep breath and tense my shoulders slightly. They look surprised at this before their eyes land on one who is standing in front of a throne with a rose on it. Aphrodite, Tru and Piper’s mother, they must realize I’m mimicking what Tru does. They continue to speak to one another before turning back to me.
“Do you understand what your prophecy is Harry?” A trident on his throne, Percy's father Poseidon. I shake my head which causes them to look between themselves again this time slightly more alarmed. They speak between themselves again more hushed but still in Greek. Zeus looks to another God this time standing to the side and without a throne.
“Send him back Morpheus.” The next time I’m awake my watch says 5 AM, I look around my dorm to see my dorm mates still asleep, haven’t even stirred. I grab a parchment and a quill with ink. I write down one name, Morpheus. I’ll have to ask the demigods about him. He didn’t have a throne so he must be one of the lesser gods. I flop back down onto my bed and look up to the tester of my bed. Realizing I won’t be going to bed any time soon so I get up and get dressed and head down to breakfast early. Once I'm down there I see Tru and Cedric talking in front of the great hall. They look up as if sensing me walking towards them. Once they see me they smile and wave. I jog over to them ready to ask about Morpheus but Umbridge walks up to us three causing us to roll our eyes discreetly. Tru flashes an obvious fake smile at the professor before grabbing Cedric and I and dragging us into the great hall.
