Chapter 9: Ron finds out
HeeHeeHee. I love cliffhangers. Ok. You know the disclaimer. Greek=italics. Author's notes=bold. Oh wow it was my idea of a cliffhanger. Damn I was so inexperienced.

Draco's POV
As I walked to the hospital wing, I wondered how Percy was doing. He had woken up but was being held in there by Madam Pomfrey.
When I walked in, I saw that Percy wasn't there. Madam Pomfrey told me that he had already gone back to the Gryffindor Tower. When I got there, I realized that even though I knew the password, I wouldn't be allowed in. Hermione walked up behind me and said,
"Draco? Oh, you want to check on Percy right?" I nodded and she said the password and walked in.
"Um Hermione." I said "She won't let me in." I said while pointing to the Fat Lady.
"Oh that's ok. I know you're a Demi." The Fat Lady said. I walked in and ran over to the Demi tower. Hermione came in behind me. The demis were all gathered around the ping pong table. I went and sat down. Then Ron knocked on the door. He said
"Umm. I can't get in." Hermione sighed and said
"Right I forgot about that." She walked over to the door and said, "I, Hermione Granger, Daughter of Athena, give permission for Ronald Bilius Weasley to enter the demigod tower."
Ron walked in and said, "I didn't hear anything. Did someone put a Silencing Charm on the door or something? Wait, why is Malfoy here?" he walked over and sat down across from me. Hermione came over and sat next to me. Then there was another knock. Hermione made an exasperated sound.
"Who is it now?" Hermione said while walking over. She opened the door and Harry and Ginny stood there. Harry looked in and said,
"Ron! I thought I told you. You can't trust them especially not Malfoy." Hermione glared at him and said,
"Well, Harry if you can't trust them, then you can't trust me either. Ginny are you with Harry or with me?" Ginny glanced nervously at me and said,
"Sorry Hermione but I'm siding with Harry on this one." Hermione looked close to tears but lifted her head higher and said,
"Well since neither of you trust me then we can't be friends anymore. I can't be friends with people who don't trust me." She slammed the door and started sobbing. Ron started to get up but she ran over to me and curled up in my lap while still crying. I stroked her hair, which turned it back to it's original blond color, and murmured,
"Shh. It's ok sis. It's ok. I'm still here. I will never abandon you and will always trust you." Ron just stared for a minute and then said,
"Ok. Somebody start explaining NOW! What happened earlier at the lake?! Why is Malfoy comforting Hermione?!" I glared at him and said,
"Can't you see she's still upset? Wait for her to calm down a bit." After a few minutes Hermione sat fully up and said,
"I'm ok now." She turned to Ron and started explaining. "Ron, all of us here except you, Rachel, and Calypso are Demigods. That means that one of our parents was a Greek or Roman god or goddess. Rachel is a mortal, but became the Oracle of Delphi, which is like Professor Trelawney, but way more accurate. Calypso is a goddess and is the daughter of Atlas. Rachel was blessed by Apollo. Percy is a son of Poseidon, Piper is a daughter of Aphrodite, Jason is a son of Jupiter, Frank is a son of Mars and descendant of Posiden, Hazel is a daughter of Pluto, Nico is a son of Hades, Will is a son of Apollo, Leo is a son of Hephaestus, me and Annabeth are daughters of Athena, and Draco is a son of Athena, and also my biological twin. That is why my hair is blond now. When Draco touched it, the power of Athena flowed through him and got rid of the color change spell. The others aren't exchange students from some American wizarding school. They are from Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter, safe heavens for demigods. There are more Demis at Hogwarts but we are supposed to keep our identity a secret. The screams from last night that you heard? That was Nico and Percy dreaming about Tartarus. It's Greek hell and Percy, Annabeth, and Nico all survived it. They are the only ones to have ever done so. That's also why the Sorting Hat flipped out." Hermione finished and sat back. I noticed that she had dropped the British accent so I did too.
"Ron" I said. He looked over at me. "All that meanness over the past 8 years was faked. I'm sorry. Although my hatred of Harry is real. But I don't actually hate you. And the Death Eater thing? I didn't chose that. Narcissa and Lucius made me as part of my cover. They aren't my real parents. And Mr. and Mrs. Granger aren't Hermione's real parent's either. We actually don't know who our biological dad is."

Ron's POV
This was too much. Malfoy and Hermione were twins? The Greek gods existed? Why did Malfoy and Hermione have American accents now? Wait, did any of the demigods have cool powers? I asked this last question out loud and Leo grinned.
"Oh yea. We do." Suddenly he was on fire. I jumped and automatically pulled out my wand and said,
"Augumenti" Leo was left soaking wet. "Sorry" I said.
"No problem" he turned to Percy."Hey Perce. Wanna dry me off?"(damn that sounds suggestive curse my perverted mind) Percy grinned and suddenly all the water on Leo condensed and pulled away.
A ball of water was hovering in mid air. Then it moved to the other side of the room. Percy looked over at Jason who was shaking with silent laughter. He raised his hands and said,
"Guilty. Pipes your turn." Piper gave Leo a sly grin which made his face go white. Piper told him,
"Leo, chicken dance around the room until I say stop." Leo's face went slack and he got up and started doing it. She turned to me.
"Ron," but before she could continue Jason cut in.
"Aww come on Pipes. Don't charmspeak him." Piper rolled her and said,
"Fine." then smiled mischievously. "Percy, I want you to make a ball of water shaped like a lightning bolt, then Jason I want you to charge it very slightly, then Percy direct it to Jason. Jason don't resist." Both of their faces went slack and they did what Piper said.
"Leo, stop." Piper called out. Percy punched Piper in the shoulder. Piper smiled. Hazel walked forward. She said
"Ron, turn around." I did. But I still saw her in front of me. I turn back around and saw George.
"George!" Suddenly he disappeared. "What?"I said. Hazel stepped back in front of me and said,
"I can manipulate the Mist."
"What mist?" I asked her. "It's magic."she replied while lifting her hand. Suddenly a coin was pulled out of Jason's pocket. "I can also summon gold. Frank your turn." Frank got up and suddenly there was an iguana on the floor. The demigods started laughing and Frank changed back to human.
"So he's an Animugus. That's not very spectacular." I said. Frank took a deep breath and then changed into a lion, then a snake, then a badger, then an eagle, then back to human.
"Oh."
Nico stepped forward, but Will grabbed his arm and said,
"Take it easy Neeks." Nico smiled and said,
"Don't worry. I will." Nico closed his eyes. The room grew darker and there was a rumble outside. I went to the window and saw a the skeleton of a bat flying towards me. I lept back from the window as the skeleton bat flew in and landed on Nico's shoulder. Then it crumbled and Nico stepped into the shadows in front of me. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked around and saw Nico in the shadows behind me.
The room lightened and Nico crumpled to the floor panting hard. Will immediately got up and ran over to him. He fed him a brownie looking thing and Nico sat up. Will sighed and said
"When will you listen to me? I'm your doctor. If I say take it easy you need to take it easy."
"Sorry Sunshine."Nico said and kissed Will's nose.
"I will next time."
"My turn." Will said. He looked at Nico and sighed. Then the air around Will started to get brighter until it was like Will was standing in a ray of sunshine. Nico whistled.
"I didn't know you could do that. I knew about the healing and the music but not the light thing-a-mi-whateveryourdoing." The air went back to normal and Annabeth stood up.
"Me, Hermione, and Draco don't have any very noticeable powers, but were all extremely smart and can weave things." Piper spoke up
"You call that weaving thing 'not noticeable'?" she turned to me. "Don't listen to her. It's really amazing." Hermione stood up.
"Well I think that's enough for tonight. Classes start tomorrow so we all need a good night's sleep." Me, Hermione, and Draco all walked out of the demigod tower and in the the Gryffindor common room. Draco looked around and said,
"I'll see you guys tomorrow. Night sis. Night Ron."
"G'dnight Draco." I said. Hermione kissed my cheek and when Draco half-frowned and half-smiled she kissed his cheek too.
"Goodnight Draco" she said "See you tomorrow with the other demis." As we went up to our dorms I thought I heard a rustle in the common room. When I looked around no one was there.
<small time skip so I can put in a cliffhanger and please don't kill me even though this is nothing compared to some cliffhangers I've seen before>
Person's POV
About five minutes after Ron left the common room I uncast the Disillusionment Charm. What was that? Malfoy calling Hermione 'sis'? Ron calling Malfoy, 'Draco' instead of Malfoy? Hermione with blond hair? And what were 'demis'? "That was weird." I said.
"We'll figure this out in the morning, Harry" Ginny said to me.
***********
I'm gonna kinda hurry through the next few chapters cause I'm starting to get tired and I'm gonna have to make up school work tomorrow and I'm also gonna maybe try and get the courage to ask my crush her sexuality so I'll know if I could ever have a chance with her cause she's amazing and beautiful and most likely straight but I'm not too sure and I want to verify cause if she's bi, or pan, or lesbian, or something like that, then my chances of her ever actually liking me back go from 0% to 40% and now I'm just rambling but whatever she's beautiful.
