Aurora's POV

"I still don't get how you did it" Percy said to me. "Did what", I asked confused on what he was talking about. "How you made the mash potatoes explode in Clarisse's face" he said. "Oh I don't know either" I lied, and Percy only gave me a curious look which I returned with a shrug. We headed to the campfire and I yawned already tired. Percy and I sat down by ourselves the rest of the kids sitting with their half siblings. Annabeth came over and sat besides Percy, he wrapped an arm around her and they shared a small kiss. I couldn't help but smile at how cute they were. As the Apollo kids started singing my mind drifted off back to Hogwarts. I missed the beauty of it, the classes, the aroma of magic. But now this was my home, Camp Half-blood. I got up to stand but was pulled back. Percy grabbed my wrist, causing me to turn around. "Where are you going" he asked me. "I'm going to head off to bed" I told him and he nodded letting go of me. I walked back to my cabin with a yawn. I opened the door and quickly changed into my pajamas. As soon as I was in my comfy over sized long sleeved shirt and leggings I jumped into the bed and sighed, closing my eyes. But when I did it seemed as if all my tiredness washed away. I tried turning in different positions, but nothing worked. I couldn't help but groan in annoyance. I looked out the window and into the forest. I quickly grabbed my wand and speed walked out of the cabin and into the woods making sure that no one followed me. I kept walking until I found a small little clearing with a circle of trees around it. I went in the middle of the circle making sure i had enough room around me. I wanted to practice my magic since it had been awhile. Using that spell on Clairesse made me realize how much I missed magic. I grabbed a leaf and transformed it into a practice dummy. Hmmmm, now which spell to use. I furrowed my eyebrows in thought and I smiled when I finally thought of one. I raised my wand at the dummy, "Incendio" I said quietly but clearly. Fire shot out of my wand and hit the dummy square in the chest causing the object to light up in flames. "Augumenti" I quickly said and instead of fire water came out this time, distinguishing the flames. "Avis" A couple of birds flew out of my wand and started flying around the top of my head causing me to giggle. "Apogno", the white birds flew away from me and to the dummy, attacking it. I couldn't help but smirk in accomplishment. I raised my wand a little for the next spell. "Ventus" I whispered. The wind around me started blowing harsher the air growing colder then it already was. I began moving my wand in a circular motion, the wind moving in sync with the wand. My hair started blowing wildly, the leaves arose and started flying places, and the branches on the trees swayed. When the wind started forming a small tornado I slowly put my wand down and with it the wind calmed down, until there was none at all. I wonder if I could do a patronus. I mean I've never tried...but do I even have a memory strong enough. Well its worth a try. I tried thinking off all my happy memories and finally picked one. It was a memory of when me, James, Sirius, and Remus doing our first prank together on Malfoy. It was the first time I had actually felt like I belonged with them. I raised my wand high in the air. "Expecto Patronum" I said loudly, my voice strong and clear. But nothing happened. I tried the spell once again but in return I got no result. The memory wasn't strong enough. But that's when one came to me. I thought of the time me and Percy sang Under the Sea, and let the happiness of that event take over. I closed my eyes and sighed, "Expecto Patronum". I opened my eyes and gasped when I saw a white light coming out of my wand. It began spreading but it didn't form an animal. Even though I didn't make a full patronus I'm still proud of myself. "What are you" a voice that I immediately recognized said from behind.  I jumped and turned around to be faced to face with none other than Nico Di Angelo. "You can't tell anyone" I said quickly, the worry growing inside me. No one was supposed to know, what happens if they judge me for being different, or become scared of me. Or what happens if they think that witches are a threat and because of me we are going to go into war with demigods! Ok Aurora shut up now your just being stupid. Nico disappeared from his spot, allowing the shadows to embrace him. I did a 360 trying to find him but he didn't show himself. "What are you" Nico snapped, reappearing right in front of me. A dark look crossed his face, and honestly if I wasn't so scared right now I would have found it hot. The son of Hades grabbed his sword and pointed it at me. The black Stygian Iron Sword was close to my throat and I couldn't help but gulp. I could practically feel the power of it radiating off the weapon. It was perfect for him. My heart beat raced and I wouldn't be surprised if he could here it. "I'm a witch. Just please let me explain" I added the last part hopping he wouldn't kill me. He glared at me, but then hesitantly put his sword back into his seethe. I let out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding. He grabbed my wrist tightly and suddenly darkness devoured me. I felt like I was being squeezed, it was sort of like apparating I suddenly felt dizzy but I didn't show it because I didn't want to look like a baby in front of Nico. I noticed we weren't in the woods anymore. I took in the different place we were in. It was dark, the only thing lighting the room were the many candles that had a green flame to it. There was one bed, large in size and covered in blood red sheets. The bed railing was a dark brown, which complemented the red. There were two desks on each side of the bed; and looked like a deep mahogany color. I couldn't decide if the room was creepy, or mesmerizingly enchanted in a dark way. Maybe both? Oh my gods wait, is this the Hades Cabin. "Is this your cabin" I asked Nico turning to face him. He sat down on his bed "I'm asking the questions here" he said his eyes piercing into me like I was a piece of dirt on his shoe. I shifted under his gaze and started fiddling with the end of my sleeves. A silence hung around the air and it definitely wasn't a comfortable one. "So a witch huh" Nico grumbled. "Ye-Yes" I stuttered out. Nico got up from the bed and walked over to me. I walked backwards but my back ended up hitting the wall, but that didn't stop the son of hades. He kept walking towards me until our bodies were only a few centimeters apart. I couldn't help but blush and I mentally scolded myself for doing that. "This is the last time I'm asking, explain" He said. "It's a long story" I told him not meeting his eye. He backed away from me and just looked at me with a look practically saying I have all the time in the world. So I told him, I told him everything. I told him about how my parents were wizards, how I was a witch. I told him about Hogwarts and wands, and about the current wizarding war. I told him about the multiple magic schools, and about spells, and potions. I also told him why I came here. Nico stayed quiet through the whole thing only listening. His eyes widened at some points in surprise but he never once asked a question or judged me. I took a deep sigh when I finished, I was completely out of breath after talking for so long. The dark eyed boy with messy black hair rubbed his eyes. "You should go back to your cabin, your not aloud to be in here anyways" Nico said. Wait was he serious. After all I just said! I couldn't help but scoff at this and he raised an eyebrow at me in return. "Do you seriously have nothing to say! I've just told you that there was a completely different world out there that you didn't know about and the first thing you have to tell me is to go to bed!" I said my voice rising. He chuckled slightly, but it wasn't a real happy one. It was fake, forced, dry. "I've heard worse" was all he said, but when I looked into his eyes I could see different emotions swirling in them. He grabbed my wrist once again and the same feeling of darkness swallowed me. I closed my eyes tightly trying not to get whiplash. When I opened my eyes I found myself in my own cabin. Percy was sound asleep, snoring away peacefully. I looked back at Nico who was still there. I took a step towards him but I tripped over my own foot and I couldn't help but squeal as I fell forwards. Out of instinct of not wanting to fall I grabbed the first thing I could find and it just so happened that I ended up wrapping my arms around Nico. He flinched at the contact, tensing. As soon as I managed to stabilize myself from the fall, Di Angelo over here pushed me backwards as soon as I touched him causing me to fall on my bum. He scowled at me "watch where you're walking next time kelp head". Why was he suddenly being so rude to me. I mean he wasn't exactly nice before but still. Was this all because of the kiss. As I remembered the events from earlier, I could practically feel my heart get heavy. Ugh why couldn't I just forget it like earlier. Um...maybe Aurora it's because you kept yourself busy thinking about other things like food, and making sure Percy doesn't find out you like the son of one of the big three and let's not forget about Nico finding out I'm a witch. A frown formed on my lips at the thought. But I masked my look of sadness with a poker face hoping he wouldn't take notice, but knowing him he probably did. He didn't show it though, which always amazed me. He was so good at hiding things, he kept to himself as if he had no one. But he did and he could if he wanted to. Nico was broken, he was lost in a pool of his own sadness. And in that moment I realized that I would get Nico Di Angelo to open up to me. To let me in and make him happy. And no I'm not doing this because I'm trying to make myself look better or because I feel sorry for him. It's because even though I might have not known him for long, I cared for him. And no matter how many times he would push me around and be rude I would still be here for him, even if he doesn't know it yet. I would be here. Always.
