Demigods At Hogwarts

Flashes and Visions; Or Just Audio, Anyway (Piper's Perspective)

(Again. Couldn't find a meme that relates to this chapter, so here you go. I'd like to apologize sincerely for the three-day break I took 😬 I hope this chapter makes up for it!

Additionally, shoutout to @KinNguyt0 for voting for the Special Edition chapter! He or she is my first vote for this book! Additionally, they voted for the Special Edition chapter; I asked for a comment or vote on the Special Edition chapter because I hated it and wasn't sure whether to remove it or keep it. Because of the vote, I will be keeping it! I know it's just a vote but out of 1K+ reads, I have only gotten one vote, which makes it special. The fact that it's on the Special Edition chapter proves to me that the chapter is worth keeping. Thank you, @KinNguyt0, for showing your support!

Enjoy! :)

For the rest of the day, the only times we saw the trio would be in classes. When we had found them spying on us near the lake, we had sent them off angrily; I'd charmspoken them to forget about our powers and our practice spars, but making them forget about where they were would cause too many questions. Instead, I had them think they were just relaxing by the lake the whole time. We were never there.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione, for a reason I couldn't fathom, seemed to take a lot of interest in our business. I couldn't charmspeak them too much, as per Hecate's warning, because it doesn't work as well on them as it does on mortals. Us demigods needed a people-repellent. To use on annoying students *cough cough* like the three that keep spying on us *cough.* However, it would also be useful for the Slytherin students.

I could see why the Slytherins had a bad reputation. They were raucous, mean, and plain wicked. I had heard that Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin who hadn't come back to Hogwarts this year, was a Death Eater, along with some of his friends. However, most of Slytherin had decided not to repeat 7th year- probably due to the downfall of Tom Riddle- leaving the Slytherin house quite empty compared to the other houses.

I neglected brushing my teeth and went straight to bed; today had been so tiring. Then I thought better of it and got up, heading for the bathroom. I always procrastinated going to sleep; the nightmares were horrifying. And though they were nowhere near as worse as Percy and Annabeth's, it wasn't... in my best interests to relive my worst moments. Jason's death was a recurring factor in my nightmares. If only I had been quicker.

Tell him to come... Tell him... Bring him to me!

I woke up screaming and sweating, but I didn't remember what I saw. Vivid flashes of something... but I didn't recall what. This nightmare was not like the usual ones. Who was talking? What did he want me to do? Who was him? All I remembered of the freaky vision was the audio. What had I seen? I knew it was important but... I just couldn't remember.

Percy and Annabeth seemed to be clinging onto each other more than usual this morning. In fact, Hazel and Frank were too, and Leo looked scared. However, Thalia, Will, Nico, and Reyna looked, well, how they did usually. Thalia nonchalant, Nico tired, Will cheerful, and Reyna alert. It was hard to tell if something was bothering Reyna, but she did not exhibit the same nervous look that all of us, except Thalia, Nico, and Will, had today. She was either hiding it well, or... it was just the Seven.

Turns out my suspicions were correct. Frank, Hazel, Annabeth, and Leo all had the same dream as me... or heard the same dialogue anyway. None of them, similar to me, could remember what had actually happened in their vision. However, Hazel did recall one particularly vivid flash: A huge snake, with glowing red eyes, lunging at her. She shuddered while explaining. Nico, Thalia, Reyna, and Will all had a normal night's sleep; meaning plagued with the usual nightmares. Nothing new.
