Demigods at Hogwarts

Chapter 16

Chiron smiled from inside the Big House when he saw them, "Well, I was hoping to get a message a bit little earlier, but shouldn't you all be in class right now?"

Leo coughed and cleared his throat, "Umm, about that. Class has been cancelled for our house and Slytherin's because of umm... something that happened. That's what we want to talk to you about."

Chiron looked concerned, "Please explain."

They told him everything that had happened since they'd arrived in London up until the part where Frank and Hazel had taken Nico to the hospital wing. Chiron listened carefully and nodded along as they talked.

After they were done, he sighed, "Well this quest is going a lot more unexpectedly than I thought already."

"But what are we supposed to do?" Percy asked.

"We obviously need to figure out what's going on, but I could also send some help over there."

"What do you mean by help?" Piper asked, confused.

Chiron smiled, "Well, I haven't told anyone else about this quest, but I could ask a few more people if they're willing to join you."

The seven looked at each other, excited.

"Who?" Jason asked.

"I could send Will Solace. He's good with medicine and he's also good friends with Nico so he could definitly be helpful."

They heard a voice on the other side, somewhere behind Chiron, "Who are you talking to?"

Frank saw Leo grin as Calypso's face appeared in the Iris Message. "Where have you guys been? Chiron won't tell me anything other than that it is a very important quest."

Chiron scooted his wheelchair back so Calypso could see them better, "I guess I could send her too, she has been talking nonstop and complaining about not being able to be with you, Leo."

"That'd be awesome!" Leo kept grinning, obviously happy to see his godess-girlfriend again.

"Where are you?" Calypso asked.

"I'll explain it to you in a minute, but I have to go split up a fight between an Ares child and a Nike child so I have to go now," Chiron got out of his wheelchair and turned into a centaur as he waved goodbye.

Annabeth swiped her hand through the Iris Message, making it fade away.

"So Will and Calypso are gonna be comming over," Jason said.

"Frick yea, dude!" Leo laughed.

"But when will they be here?" Frank asked, "And how will they get here?"

"Hopefully soon, and hopefully alive," Percy said, matteroffactly.

"That's not what I meant by my second question, but I agree with your answers."

For the next few hours, they went into the forbidden woods and practiced sword fighting and shooting arrows. When it started to get dark, they headed inside, making sure to hide their weapons. After eating dinner in the Great Hall, they went to their common rooms and said goodnight to each other, but before Frank headed into the dorm room, Hazel pulled him over.

"I'm worried about Nico, and all of us. I don't know what the wizards think of us now, I think it's pretty obvious that we're not normal students."

Frank looked at her and sighed "Yea, I was just hoping to learn some stuff about these wizards and get out, but I guess it's gone a lot more complicated already, like all other quests."

"And we've also got to figure out how Nico was able to use that kind of magic without... you know."

Frank hesitated, "... It destorying him."

Hazel nodded, gave him a kiss, and then walked into her room. Frank walked in the other direction, following the guys.

He sat down on his bed, but before he could change out of his school uniform, Percy walked over, "Is it okay if I ask what you and Hazel were talking about?"

Frank nodded, "She was just worried about Nico and this whole quest. It's just really, different, from all the other ones."

"I know what you mean, man. I haven't had to fight any monsters since we've got here, yet. Only that jerk, Octavian II," Percy tried to laugh as he clapped his shoulder.

"Schist, I hate Malfoy. Only if imperial gold or celestrial bronze would work on him."

"Couldn't agree with you more, but we haven't eventried it...yet. Works on demigods, might work on wizards. You never know," Percy smiled and walked back to his bed.

Frank hadn't been able to fall asleep at all, so he stopped trying and started thinking about everything that had happened. He definitly hadn't expected so much in just a few days, but he also thought about what he had actually expected to happen. He had expected to see wizards and witched in pointy hats and robes. He had expected wands and flying broomsticks. All those steryotipical things (most of which actually turned out to be real), but he also got to know some of them more, in person. What kind of foods they liked, which school subjects they liked, and so on and so on. They talked and laughed together, despite the fact that they had only known each other for a couple days. There were wizards he liked, and some he didn't like. Yet he still had to remeber that this was a quest with a mission to accomplish.
