Hello, little midgets! So this is the chappie that I had no time to write yesterday. That is all I have to say.

Hermione POV

We checked into this nice hotel with the money Percy and Annabeth had. We got two rooms. Harry, Ginny, and Ron stayed in one room. Percy, Annabeth, and I stayed in the other.

I stayed up for a bit, courtesy of Percy's talking in his sleep. But eventually, I closed my eyes. And of course, I got a dream.
-in dream-

I was standing in a dark room. There was a figure wearing robes. Not like the ones at Hogwarts, but a more royal type. The person had dark and long hair falling across her shoulders.

I realized that there was another person in the room. She had a a humanoid figure I guess. But from the waist down, Her legs were snaky trunks. A dracaena.

There was a table in the room. On it was a map. It was hard to tell of what place, but I made it out to be Alaska.

The robed figure walked to the other side of the table and looked up. If I could gasp in a dream, I did. It was Sylvia.

"Where are they, Durnhap?" Sylvia asked.

The dracaena, Durnhap, replied, "They just got their info from our friend, my Lady. The trap has been set. How's the creature going?"

"Fine. But we will need the wand's power to finish it." Suddenly she stood erect.

"What, my Lady? Is something bothering you?"

"No," Sylvia replied, "There is a presence in this room."

She turned to look at me. All of a sudden, she lunged. Just before she was going to grab me, I heard screaming and woke up.
-dream ended-

Percy and Annabeth were screaming. In their sleep, so it was a nightmare or a flashback.

The others were trying to wake them up. And I am guessing they got in here using the room key card that we gave them. We gave one of ours to them, since we had two and if Annabeth and Percy were having a nightmare they could try to wake them up.

I dodged their kicking a punching and woke Annabeth up. She had a tear-streaked face. She woke Percy up and he also had a tear-streaked face.

"What happened?" I asked them.

Annabeth replied with a hoarse voice, "We were falling into Tartarus again. While we were falling, I kept seeing people die, Percy being tortured, Luke dying, and so much more."

She put on a a brave face. "Well, Seaweed brain, let's go get breakfast. I'm hungry. You guys coming?"

We smiled at that. I nodded. We got ready. Ron, Harry, and Ginny took baths. Annabeth, Percy, and I didn't so we'd attract less monsters. We all changed into fresh clothes, brushed our teeth, and headed to the breakfast bar.

We got our breakfast and sat down at a table. I said, "I had a dream, last night."

Annabeth nodded so I continued, "It was about Sylvia. She wants to get the wand. She's making another monster, from what I gathered, somehow. She called Nereus her 'friend.' She also talked about a trap being set."

Percy frowned. He turned to Annabeth and said, "Since you're the best strategist I know, what do you think is happening?"

Annabeth scowled. "Since they called Nereus their friend, I would guess he gave us false information and going to Alaska is a trap. But we should still go there. We can find out where we have to go."

Harry objected, "But we're walking straight into their trap!"

Annabeth turned to Harry and smiled dryly. "When I went on the solo quest for the Athena Parthenos, I knew I would have to face Arachne. That was like walking into a trap, no?"

Harry sighed. Ron said, "Okay, but what do you think will be there?"

Annabeth shrugged. "How should I know?"

Ginny stood up and said, "Since we're all done, let's get our things!"

I looked down at my toast, or where my toast was. I hadn't realized I finished it. And by the looks on the other peoples' faces, I am guessing they hadn't either.

We went to our hotel, got our things, checked out, and stood outside the hotel doors. We all held hands and we apparated.
