Chapter 1
I honestly hoped for a peaceful school year. After the Titan War this August, everything was supposed to be back to normal, just Camp Half blood activities and perhaps some travelling. I know that my father would have some small tasks he would want me to do. So that would still be part of normal. But sadly, the fates were against me. Other than Perseus Jackson, I , Nico Di Angelo, am most probably the most unlucky demigod on the face of the earth.
Summer was ending far sooner than I had expected. Seeing as we spent almost a month just training and fighting a war, I wasn't surprised. Before the summer ended, we had one last activity to enjoy. Capture the Flag.
Now that there were twenty cabins…well nineteen since the only thing the Hypnos cabin does is sleep, the big three cabin is considered as one…seeing as there is only the two of us. Each team has nine cabins. And obviously, we are teamed with the Athena Cabin.
I stood in the border with the supposed twins Travis and Connor Stoll. Considering that the border is a river, I wasn't so enthusiastic. Who knows what might happen if I were to fall in. I shudder at the thought. I can hear rustling of leaves by the trees. I stood ready with my sword in hand.
"You guys hear anything?"
"Nope" Travis said raising his spear "How about you Connor?"
"Nothing yet"
Then right in front of me I see a figure. One of the Ares kids, Mark I think his name, came out from the woods. He charged towards us.
"INCOMING!" he weaved through the river along with three other kids. The two kids from the Ares cabin charged towards me while the others went to attack Travis and Connor.
"Yield!"
"Never!"
One thing I learned since my first Capture the Flag, though it's very competitive.
I slashed and blocked the two sons of Ares. They were good. But I can feel the aura around us turn cold. It was only a matter of time before they felt it too. And just before anything bad happens, Pollux from the Dionysus Cabin was running towards the border. Percy and Annabeth were at his wake. Pollux was one of the fastest runners in camp. In record time he had reached the border with the flag. The flag turned purple with a wine class and intertwined vines.
Our teamed cheered as we celebrated our victory. Pollux was hoisted up by the Stoll brothers with the flag.
"BLUE TEAM WINS!" Chiron said
"PARTY IN OUR CABIN!" the Stoll brothers said as we went to celebrate in the Hermes Cabin
I walked to my cabin completely drained. One thing I remember from the Parties of the Hermes cabin is that they are very fun but very tiring.
I practically stumbled into my cabin, ready to pass out on my bed. But I felt cold wind and shadows come to me. .. This is not good.
I was spat out of the shadow in a familiar place. I was in Persephone's Garden. And in front of me, was Hades, or better known to me as father. But he wasn't alone. A girl in a magical flowery dress was beside him. Seeing as it was summer, I knew it wasn't Persephone. Demeter is only here when Persephone is here. But from what I can tell, the girl is a goddess.
I knelt in front of my father "Father"
"Rise, my son"
I stood shifting from one foot to the other. "Not to be rude or anything but, why am I here?"
"Lady Hecate is in need of assistance"
"And I am needed because…"
"Because it is in your domain" Lady Hecate said "The one who has caused danger, is a Horcrux"
Horcrux… I thought for a moment. I may have learned some stuff from Minos, my dictionary, or the ADHD part of my mind named as Nic-tionary, still lacked some terms when it comes to the dead. From my tutoring with the Furies before the Titan war, I am still in Fear… Or at least that is what I can remember. I didn't know that someone could die of fear in literal terms…wait I'm getting out of track.
My father seemed to have noticed as well. "A Horcrux is an object which holds a part of a soul. And by extension, cheats death. This is only used by Wizards and Witches"
So it was true, the world that Hecate blessed. Like a parallel world instead with Wizards and Witches. Wow you learn something new every day.
"Yes. It is true young demigod" Hecate said "And only you will be able to find it. Some time ago, a man named Tom Riddle wreck havoc in the world of witches and wizards. He split his soul into seven parts. Making him, in a sense, immortal. Now his followers are trying to raise him from the dead. "
"So…where do I fit in this picture?"
"You are to attend a school…" I was about to protest. School and Nico don't mix as far as I can tell. "No ifs ands or buts. You are to go to a school for Witches and Wizards called Hogwarts."
"But there is one problem" I pointed out "I am not a Wizard. And I don't think Zeus would appreciate it if his brother's child is more powerful than his own."
"That is his problem" Hades said "My little brother needs to mind his own problems and stop interfering with mine and Poseidon's . As for the powers…"
"That's where I come in" Hecate said with a big grin on her face that screams trouble. I involuntarily stepped back as she was coming closer "Aww, come on little cousin, I don't bite"
I raised an eyebrow. "Well not much"
I sighed and stood my ground. She closed her eyes with her hands raised to me and she started to chant in Greek. I can see my own dark aura and her bright colorful one. I can suddenly feel weight increase on me. I was becoming drowsy… I didn't notice how tired I was…
I woke in a comfortable bed with light coming in. The Hades cabin didn't have any windows, neither did my room in the underworld. I jumped and was suddenly on guard. Then I remembered what happened last night. Flag, Horcrux, Mission. Great…
"You're finally up, good" I jumped to see Hecate sitting on a chair watching me with an amused look on her face.
"Where are we?" I asked
"The Leaky Cauldron." Hecate said "A small pub in London"
"London" I said I've never been to London before. The farthest I've gotten from America is China. And that was when I had my shadow travelling problem.
"Yes" Hecate said "Just one more thing before I leave you. You are not , by any circumstances, to tell anyone, student or staff, of your mission with the exception to the headmaster who already knows. There are some followers of You Know Who"
"Who know who?"
Hecate was about to scold me…or at least face palm. "Tom Riddle or better known as Voldemort or You Know Who"
"Okay"
"Great" Hecate said "Now, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts is coming over to pick you up to buy your school supplies." She grabbed a woven pouch from the table. "Inside are Galleons, Sickles and Knuts. Hagrid would explain more to you. Just be warned. He doesn't really look human. He's a half giant"
"Half Giant?"
"Yes" Hecate said "There are many creatures here similar to those in our world, werewolves, vampires, and a lot of others"
"Good to know" I said
"Alright then little cousin, your trunk is at the end of the bed, you just need to buy your school supplies, Here is your Hogwarts letter. And Good Luck"
And with a blinding flash of light, she was gone. So much for help. Not long after there was a knock on the door. I opened the door to a really big man with a big beard.
"Hello there" he said with a strange accent "You must be Nico"
"Uh…yeah, your Hagrid?"
"That's me" he said "Come on then, got your stuff?"
"Uh…" I looked around. my ring/sword was in my finger, letter and bag of coins in my hand. "Yeah I'm good"
"Well come on then"
This is going to be fun…note sarcasm
Hey everyone. :D So…everyone is telling me I should rewrite and change the chapters in my first story "A Deadly Magical Demigod" but I don't have the heart to remove it and rewrite it again, seeing as there is already a sequel and that it is my solid (Sorta) proof to myself that my writing has changed and improved :D. So instead I reposted a rewrite. :D I might add some of this and that and maybe make it longer. But it would still be the same story as it was before. Might fix some of the plot flow but still the same ending…hopefully. :D I might also remove title names so..yeah
