Hunters and Hogwarts - A Theyna Story

Chapter 28 : Game Night

Reyna's POV

After explaining the rules of every single game, with some assistance from Hermione, who had apparently played a few of them before, they settled on a true classic: Monopoly.

Reyna wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but since the room's contents had come from the gods, the Monopoly game was a special version she'd never seen before. It was Green and Roman themed, with Rome and Athens being the two most expensive properties, and other important locations such as the Colosseum around as well.

Funnily enough, the Chance Cards had stayed the same orange and white, but the community chest cards were now purple and gold. Reyna assumed it had something to do with the two Camps.

To save the magicians from embarrassment, they decided to go into three teams of two. Reyna and Thalia, Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny. Admittedly, it was slightly cliche to team up the couples, but no one was going to complain.

Reyna quickly realised that no matter how little Ginny had known about the game, her competitive spirit was always going to make up for it. She always warned the others loudly when they were about to trade property that would complete a set, unless it was being traded to them.

"So, any idea how we're gonna get to Camp?" Thalia asked Reyna, as they'd put the game on hold for a moment while Ginny went to grab more snacks and Harry had to go to the bathroom.

"Honestly, I haven't thought about it, but even if I had, I don't think I'd know." Reyna replied.

"You think Olympus has their own private jet?" Thalia joked.

"You sure a plane's a good idea? Y'know, heights and stuff." Reyna asked, gesturing vaguely.

"As long as I don't see out of the window." Thalia answered, her expression turning thoughtful. "I think if I'm above the clouds and can't see the ground I'm fine. The sky is my dad's domain after all..."

"We could call Mrs. O'Leary, shadow travel is probably the fastest way to get back." Reyna suggested.

"I like that idea... but how? Are Nico or Percy back at camp already? They're like the only ones she takes orders from." Thalia reasoned.

Before Reyna could reply, Harry and Ginny returned, with Ginny's hair suspiciously messed up, causing Reyna to wonder why it had taken her nearly ten minutes to get new snacks.

Reyna looked over at Thalia who grimaced at her, obviously thinking the same thing, wondering if they wanted to know what had happened and what places to clean when the others left.

Thalia's grimace turned back into a smile as the game restarted, and Reyna received another one of Thalia's "good luck kisses". It was number 47, but who was counting anyways?

Ironically enough, Thalia landed on Rome, obviously buying it as it was one of the most valuable properties on the board, and Reyna landed on Athens one round later, also buying it.

The Roman demigod had landed on Athens and the Greek demigod had landed on Rome.

The irony was not lost on Thalia either, who burst out laughing as Reyna threw quite a large sum of money into the bank for Athens.

Unfortunately for the others, the purchase of Athens allowed the demigods to complete the final and most expensive set on the board, and still had quite a lot of money to build houses and hotels, though Reyna realised that the hotels were in the shape of the Empire State Building and the houses were in the shape of the senate in Camp Jupiter.

"Guys, on a scale of one to ten, with ten being totally, how fucked are we now that they've got those two properties?" Ginny asked the other three.

"I'd say a decent eleven." Reyna heard Thalia mutter next to her and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't get too cocky, love." Reyna chided quietly, while the others tried making deals to prevent them from winning.

She felt Thalia lean into her side and suddenly could feel Thalia's breath against her neck.

"We took out an entire hoard of rabid wolves led by Lycaon and managed to come out mostly unscathed, I think we'll be fine against them." Thalia whispered and Reyna couldn't help but chuckle as she rolled her eyes.

"You two want some time alone?" Reyna heard Harry ask. "Your turn."

"Don't worry, we'll have plenty of time to do whatever we want after this game when we're alone." Thalia said with a smirk as she grabbed the dice.

"How many times have you had to change the bedsheets?" Ginny asked, raising an eyebrow and smirking.

"You mean in one night or since we got together?" Reyna replied playfully with a smirk of her own.

Ron and Hermione rolled their eyes, Harry chuckled and Ginny burst out laughing, rolling on the floor as her eyes brimmed with tears after a few seconds.

"We're gonna need to change them again later." Reyna heard Thalia whisper next to her.

"Only once?" Reyna asked quietly in reply, faking disappointment.

As Thalia's face broke into a grin, Reyna realised she may have fucked up slightly, knowing that she would probably be walking with wobbly legs for at least the next morning, possibly the entire day.

"Bloody hell, when this game's over I'm leaving quick I don't want to be around those two when they get too horny." Reyna heard Ron mutter and shot him a smirk.

They all turned their attention back to the game and soon Ron and Hermione declared bankruptcy, but not before making a preposterous trade in which they traded away everything they had for one dollar to Ginny and Harry, hoping they could defeat the demigods.

The game soon turned volatile, with insults being thrown left, right and centre and constant cursing when someone landed on the opponents property.

After another half an hour, Athens and Rome finally came in handy, with Harry and Ginny landing on them on back-to-back turns, rendering them nearly bankrupt.

Ginny, being Ginny, decided it would be best to attempt a bank robbery, but the police, in for of a lightning bolt from Thalia, prevented that quickly.

"Ah shit. Potter, I think we're fucked." Ginny grumbled, causing everyone, including herself to chuckle.

"Are you suggesting we give up?" Harry asked her.

"I don't want to, but we've 20 dollars and the next stretch of property also belongs to them..." Ginny replied, trailing off.

"Give up!" Reyna and Thalia shouted in unison, turning to smile at each other.

Harry and Ginny didn't, but even with the extra 200 bucks they received from passing go and mortgaging almost all of their properties, they were forced into bankruptcy after two more rounds.

Reyna smiled and heard a whoop from beside her before she felt a soft kiss on her lips, knowing it was Thalia.

They packed up the games and said their goodbyes and goodnights, with Reyna still wondering how they'd be returning to Camp Half-Blood.

She dropped herself into the two beds in the middle of the room, her mind still clouded with thoughts.

That was until she felt a familiar weight on top of her body. She opened her eyes just in time to see Thalia straddling her, hands planted firmly next to her head.

"What was that about needing to change the sheets multiple times tonight?" Thalia asked, tilting her head slightly and smirking evilly.

"I'll show you." Reyna replied, her hands slipping under Thalia's shirt.
