Hello, 

Here is the Twentieth chapter. 

I neither own PJO nor Harry Potter. 

Enjoy Reading! 

********** 

Harry POV 

"We are getting late for classes." Hermione stated. Getting back to our senses we all walk out. The two Royals following us, while the ladies went with Professor Apollo saying they will return some other time. 

Strange. But then whole of this Greek incident was. 

We reached to Hagrid's to find that He was talking to Professor McGonagall in a corner , near his hut. While the two Royals were standing near a white majestic horse facing it as if they were talking to it. 
Princess was smiling while Lord Jackson looked a little annoyed. Crazy guys, I tell you. 

"Mr. Jackson, why don't you start talking about the creature." Professor McGonagall suggests. 

"Yes, ma'am." He nods in understanding, before turning towards us.
We had this class with Slytherin's (Ugh !) and Ravenclaw's. Not many people are paying attention, though people are glancing at him, they are busy in their own gossip. 

"ATTENTION" He calls out, his voice and confidence stated that he had done this before.  Instantly everybody was silenced, and people turn to look at him. 

"Thank you. The creature beside me is a Pegasus." Lord Jackson begins as he runs hands over his neck. 

"Pegasus aren't supposed to exist." A Ravenclaw guy says. 

"Oh really? Wonder if this is a ghost?" He points at the horse beside him. The horse beside him 'neighed' in agreement, as if he understood the exchange. 

"Come on, Whitehorn. Show them who the boss is." Lord Jackson talks to the horse as if he is a human, and understands him. 
I am surprised when, the horse- Pegasus- steps forward and his wings shoot out. Lord Jackson climbs on to the Pegasus and it takes of. Circling and flying in the air for a few minutes, they come down. It was quite impressive. 

"In Greek myths, Pegasus is the immortal son of the sea god- Poseidon and Medusa. However, as Medusa was cursed soon after, he and his brother Chrysaor remained inside her. After Medusa was slain by the hero Perseus, Pegasus sprang up from her decapitated neck stump, along with his brother." Lord Jackson accounts. 

"Wasn't medusa a monster?" A Ravenclaw asks. 

"Yes, she is, but wasn't always" Lord Jackson answers. 

"How did it happen?" Ginny asks. 

"Medusa was a daughter of Phorcys and Keto, and was once a priestess of Athena. Poseidon was bitter at Athena for recently turning his beloved Koroneis into a raven, so he decided to get back at her by becoming obsessed with the beautiful girl. Despite being warned about sea gods by her sisters, she was actually flattered that Poseidon liked her. He took her to a town's temple for Athena. As a result of the two getting romantic at the foot of the statue of her, the infuriated and disgusted Athena cursed Medusa, much to Poseidon's horror and dismay." Lord Jackson narrates the story behind it. "The girl's hair was turned into serpents and any mortal who would look upon her gaze would turn to stone. Eventually, she ended up living in a cave far from civilization with just her sisters, Stheno and Euryale, the three were called the Gorgons. Medusa's sisters were eventually made immortal, though they do not have the power to turn people to stone like her." 
At the end he mumble something to Princess Anastasia, who has been standing beside him all along the class.

"That is disgusting" A Slytherin said and I for once agreed with the Slytherin.
Again, Lord Jackson whispers something and Princess pats his back soothingly. What happened? 
Beside us Lord Di Angelo and Lady Thalia were also whispering, I think they were doing all through the class. Don't they want to know about it?  

"Does anybody want to ride it?" Lord Jackson asks, breaking me from my thoughts. 

"Can I?" Hermione's voice rang clear and Lord Jackson nods. He doesn't instruct her how to. What does he want? For her to fall or something?  
I am surprised to see Hermione stroll calmly and confidently towards the Pegasus and without any help get on his back. She rides him for a while before landing. 

"Thank You." She whispers to the horse. 

Hermione was walking back when Ronald brushed past her, "I want to ride it" And proceeded to get on it, without waiting for any consent. 
Princess Anastasia had an evil smile on her face, Lord Jackson was talking to Professor McGonagall and Hagrid in the corner. 

The Pegasus looked angry, when Ron has just climbed the Pegasus takes off. Ron being imbalanced shrieked in fear. I know he is my best- friend and all but I couldn't help laugh at his plight thinking- 'That had to happen'. 
Since, a last few days I have been observing him and he has been acting like a bloody idiot.  Whether it was the Hermione case or the Lady Thalia incident. It seems as if the war winning reached his head. Sometimes I am glad for these reasons that Hermione isn't with him. 

Another shriek leaves him and I look up at him, plummet straight towards the ground. 

"THALIA!" Lord Jackson voice makes us all look towards him. From the corner of my eye, I see Lady Thalia raise her hand and with that Lord Jackson is in the air, he wraps himself around Ron. Lady Thalia tried to ease's their landing but Lord Jackson fell on the ground with Ron on top of him. It must hurt. 

Ron scrambled away, "Insane Horse" he curses. That moron, couldn't he thank Lord Jackson?  

Princess Anastasia is kneeled beside him, while his cousins are on the other side. I quickly walk towards them. 

"Is he alright?" Professor McGonagall asks. 

"Nico. Apollo. Now" Princess said the three words and Lord Di Angelo was gone. How? Where? What? Why?  
I get the answer for last one when I realize Lord Jackson is unconscious. Holy Hell!  

"What happened?" Professor Apollo's voice surprises all of us.

"He fell" Lady Thalia answers

"Height?" He asks, as he kneels beside him.

"5 - 6 m" Princess Anastasia answers. 
Professor sighs, like he had to go through this a lot. He flips him and runs his hand above his back. He is concentrating very hard on something; I didn't know he was a doctor. 

"He has had his muscle strained." Professor states and I gawk at him. How did he do that? 

Princess frowns, "He said he had simple pain yesterday." 

"Uh- huh, he underestimated it like always and he hasn't had anything since many hours, I guess thus the faint" Professor concludes, pulling a lemon bar from the air. He forces- feeds it to Lord Jackson. 
After two minutes, Lord Jackson groans opening his eyes. 

"What happened?" he croaks. 

"You said your back was fine" Princess Anastasia says in an accusing tone. 

He looks at her for few minutes before sighing, "Must because of the way we slept yesterday night." 

"How did you sleep yesterday night?" Lady Thalia asks.

"Do you really want to know, Thals?" Lord Di Angelo asks, his voice suggestive. Don't the boys stay in one room and the girls in another? 

"Hey! It is not what you think" Lord Jackson exclaims. And Princess face palms. 

"Then what is it?" Professor Apollo asks this time, his voice teasing. 

"We slept in the balcony, that's why." Lord Jackson answers. 

"Balcony?" Lord Di Angelo asks. 

"Hmm, my room has it" Princess answers. Lord Jackson tries to get up but the other three Royals and Professor Apollo pushes him back.

"You don't do that" Professor Apollo scolds. 

"Come on, Apollo" Lord Jackson groans. 

"Nope, bed rest." Professor Apollo says. "Can you take his care for me, Anastasia?" 

She narrows her eyes at Professor before nodding. 
"No. No." Lord Jackson sulks. 

"Yes." Professor Apollo says in a stern voice. 

"You all go back to your classes." Professor McGonagall orders at us kids assembled. 

Princess Anastasia opens her hand at Lord Jackson, black mass flows out and wraps itself around Lord Jackson raising him. And she starts to walk towards the tower, the other two Royals just beside her. And we follow.
