Demigods at Hogwarts

Chapter seven.

Nico wasn't feeling well. At all. His leg had been cut open by a uncontrollable hellhound, he had been mocked by a Slytherin bully and thrown across the courtyard. And now is doctor/boyfriend was fussing over him again.

   "What happened to you lot?" Ron asked them when they got to the common room. The eight and Hermione sighed and sat on the couches, with Will propping Nico's leg up so it might heal better.

  "Malfoy." Hermione answered.

  "Ugh, why can't he just leave people alone?" Harry asked with a grumble.

  "Cause we're new and apparently "venerable"" Leo said, putting quotation marks with his fingers on the word venerable.

   Hermione snorted. "Oh please. I saw a fraction of what you can do, you are certainly are far from venerable."

   "Aww thanks" the eight said in harmony.

   "Hermione, your in on all of this too?" Ron asked.

    Hermione stared at the floor. "Ron, I—"

    "Hermione! Please, just tell us, we are your friends" Harry pleaded.

   "I wish I could, but I cannot."

    "But Hermione—"

     "No buts. It's not my secret to keep. Why don't you go enjoy your day outside or something." Hermione said, starting to tear up.

    "But what about you?" Ron asked.

    "I'll be here, with—"

     "With your new friends? Ugh, whatever Hermione."

     "excUSE ME?!" Piper said, slamming her hand on a nearby table. " You are just trying to make Hermione guilty about doing the right thing, aren't you? You are so used to being the hero's, you can't let your friend help out people trying to save this Dam (😉) school!"

   "Oh, um sorry" Harry mumbled as he and Ron left. Then Hermione began to sob.

   "What's wrong Hermione?" Calypso asked.

    "I-I appreciate you trying to help, but what if they don't want to be friends with me anymore?" Hermione sobbed.

   "Oh Hermione, of course they will." Annabeth soothed. "Who wouldn't want to be?"
Hermione sniffled, wiping away her tears. "T-thanks." She said.

"Guys.." Will interrupted. "Nico's losing a lot of blood. Get me my medical supplies stat."

Jason ran and grabbed it as the rest of the group gathered around Nico.

"Will... it's not that... bad" Nico argued, his voice horse.

"Hmm. He also has broken his spine. Oh gods Nico!" Will commented, getting out the supplies and started applying something to Nico's leg. Nico moaned.

"It's gonna be okay Death Boy" Will whispered. Annabeth death gripped Percy's hand, Leo fidgeted nervously, and Piper squeezed Jason's hand.

"Here, eat this" Will said, giving Nico ambrosia. Nico ate it reluctantly.

Will finished his work and stood up. "Better?"

"Yessir" Nico replied.

"I am going to kill that Draco kid."

Nico laughed, his voice still a bit horse, but they could see he was gonna be ok. Everyone let out the breath nobody knew they were holding.

As they continued to chat, Hermione sort of felt as if she was really apart of the group. She felt included, important, and as if they were somehow all equals. Sure, she loved spending time with Harry and Ron, but sometimes she felt like she was not as important as them. These demigods were able to talk and laugh even though they had gone through so many hardships, they had done it together. Hermione realized that was what was important.

That made Hermione wonder what Harry and Ron were doing. Probably practicing Quidditch or something like that.

The group talked for the rest of the afternoon, sharing stories and laughing together. They took a break to eat diner, of course, but came back to the common room and talked more into the night.

The demigods were one big family, and they made Hermione feel as though she was apart of it.
