Demigods at Hogwarts

Chapter 23

Okay, ok, just hear me out. 

I lost it, alright? I forgot about this place, big time. Like, two years forgot about this, but. I'm gonna try to upload all of it tonight. Like all of it. I've finished writing it perhaps two years ago now? Yeah, two years ago sounds about right. I don't know if you've found it on fanfiction by now, maybe you did, maybe not. 

But I am putting it here now, so that's that. 

Oh, and it will be a bit different maybe, as in grammar will be better since I'm reading it through this time. :)

Anyways, enjoy...

Thalia's eyes widened as she recognized the voice and remembered the reason for her anger in the first place. She made to move forward but was intercepted by Jason who held her back as Piper walked to the daughter of Athena with a sad smile on her face, all the present wizards –who were being treated by Will and their own friends– looked at the scene unfold.

"How are you Annabeth?" Piper asked with charm-speak, making the strategist focus on that question for the moment.

Annabeth didn't fall for it, "I'm well– Piper please don't," she said as she started to connect some dots in her head, "tell me where he is."

Piper bit her lip and Annabeth broke. "No!" she said, "no."

"He's not dead," Nico said helpfully.

The daughter of Athena's knees buckled and Piper caught her in her arms, Thalia ran to her sister's aid in less than a second.

"Annabeth?" she called and Annabeth fell into her arms as Piper let go.

She helped her to her feet and she walked her outside of the great hall where there were fewer ears.

"He's left again!" Annabeth said, holding her side where the arrow had pierced. "He's gone! Again!"

"He's going to be okay," Thalia reassured, but she didn't know anymore whether she was reassuring herself or Annabeth. "He's strong, he's gonna come back, he always does."

They sat down against a wall as Annabeth let her tears fall, leaning on Thalia's shoulder as the immortal hunter hugged her. "I can't lose him," she mumbled.

"I know," Thalia responded, "Gods, Annabeth I know."

"What happened?" she asked, "where is he?"

"I just heard it," Thalia said, "he got in between a monster and Ha– a wizard, he got hurt, they took that at their advantage."

"Who?" Annabeth sobbed, "who?"

Thalia thinned her lip and scowled, "Harry," she said slowly.

"I'm going to–"

"You're not going to do anything," Thalia said, "except rest."

"Thalia, they took him," Annabeth cried. "They took him from me again. I can't go on without him."

"I never understood love," Thalia mumbled, "until I saw you two. Two souls that serve as half of a whole."

"Please, I need him."

Thalia hugged her friend tighter, "I know," Thalia mumbled, "I know, and we're going to get him back but we have to think rationally. As much as I hate my brother's decision, he's right. We can't just barge in their camp and demand him back. That's suicide."

"I'd do anything–"

"Would he be pleased?"

"I don't care! As long as he's fine, I don't care about the rest."
