"How are you supposed to get these dam things on?!" I exclaims in frustration. As you can tell, I am so not a morning person! Before I realize what is happening, Harry has already swooped by and fixed my tie.
"Uh thanks." I mumble, a blush creeping up my cheeks. Harry smiles kindly and exits the dorms with Ronald at his side. I leave a few minutes after them and I can feel the many eyes on me as I enter the great hall. People have obviously been staring because I'm the new mysterious transfer kid, but the reason they should be staring at me is because I look ridiculous in these robes! My gods, I'm no child of Aphrodite but I feel like an idiot wearing this!
I sit down beside Harry and Hermione with Ron directly across from us. I would have sat with Victor but his school had been instructed to sit at Slytherin's table for a while, much to my dismay. I guess it is better that way, after all now I have to sit by Harry which makes it easier for me to get close to him. He is the most important factor of my quest after all and I am his guardian (Hecate's orders) plus he is nice I guess. I look across the hall to where Victor and his friend sit, they seem to be enjoying themselves, although Victor looks slightly uncomfortable with all of the attention. He looks around and our eyes meet.
Nico he mouths and I nod slightly to show I understand. He points to me and then to his wrist. I frown in confusion but then when I see the watch on my hand, I get it. I look back to him to see that he is holding up seven fingers. Okay so meet at seven o'clock...
Where? I mouth back and he looks up for a minute, trying to think. He then mouths something back but I don't understand. Victor sighs with frustration and suddenly rips a book out of some Slytherin girl's hand who falls back in surprise. I stifle a laugh and nod with a grin on my face.
Library. Is what he means, supper will be done by seven so we'll meet in the library and I'll still have and hour left before curfew! A few minutes later I am handed my schedule as I have arrived late. The other two schools are being taught by their leaders but I will have to learn with the rest of the Hogwarts students. I look at today's schedule which looks somewhat like this:
Transfiguration with Hufflepuff
----------
Break
----------
DADA with Slytherin
----------
Double Potions with Slytherin
----------
Dinner
I immediately notice that I have double potions with my apparently-not-dead-brother Severus. I honestly don't know what to think! I've tried not to think about him because I want to cry, hug him, slap him and kill him all at the same time. I get that maybe he wasn't allowed to tell anyone that he is here like me but he could have at least told me, or he could have not pretended he was dead! Ughhhhh!
Transfiguration was pretty uneventful. We learned the forbidden curses with Moody in DADA and to my complete amusement, I was the only student who didn't feel any fear. In fact the curses didn't faze me in the slightest as wizards' spells don't really affect me, I've been through torture and other worse things before and I am not afraid of death.
I am now walking to lunch when I feel the presence of someone walking beside me. I whip my head up to see a mop of bleach blond hair and piercing grey eyes. This boy could easily be related to Annabeth but I know from his aura that he has no godly blood.
"What do you want?" I snap. I recognize Draco Malfoy immediately and although I've never talked to him myself, I've heard some nasty things from the trio!
"Actually nothing." He says, confusing me. By his expression I think he surprised himself a little with that response. "I'm just relieved that I wasn't the only one in DADA who wasn't completely horrified. I would have probably though I had gone crazy if it weren't for you sitting there bored out of your mind." He says with a chuckle and I smirk.
"Yah, well I've seen some pretty terrible things, especially with my family life so it wasn't exactly the scariest class possible." I find myself confessing and I look to Draco, locking eyes with him. His grey eyes contain so much anger, sadness and stress but I don't think anyone has noticed before. But above all I see fear in his eyes that I wish I could take away. I smile encouragingly at him, showing that I understand and he nods, walking through the great hall doors and to his table. Maybe he is normally a prick to the other Gryffindors and he is cruel but I can tell that he doesn't really realize how mean he can be, I think the reason he is so rude to the trio is because he feels threatened be them and that was the way that he was taught to handle it. Whatever then case is, Gryffindor is wrong about Draco Malfoy... They must be.
