Harry Potter and the Demigod

Chapter III

 

Robin and Harry fell to the ground hard, paralyzing the two students Harry landed three feet away from Robin facing her as she faced him, but what stood behind him bothered Robin more, a figure dressed in a long black hooded cloak stood ten feet from Harry. Robin could see a wand in his hands she knew he was the one that pulled them from the train, she could hear Harry's friends and Professor Lupin call their names but she couldn't speak or move. Robin watched the figure walk toward them and she could do nothing to stop it, she watched helpless as he came closer and closer she knew the Professors were running over to them but Robin knew the figure would reach them before they got close. Then suddenly a bolt of lightning in what was a clear sky conveniently struck the figure, the force of the bolt blew back Harry into the side of the train. But Robin was blown threw a window, compartment door, and window on the other side of the train, Robin gazed up into the night sky as it miraculously cleared up relieving thousands of stars and the brightest half moon anyone had ever seen. She could feel the shards of glass wedged in her skin and the warm blood trickling down she blacked out just as Professor Lupin came into view. The second Robin blacked out the sky clouded over again, rain poured as if crying, thunder, and lightning raged angry,

 

“We have to get her inside.” Said Professor McGonagall

 

*~~~~~*

 

Robin awoke in the hospital wing she couldn't tell if it was night or day the thunder cloud were so dark, she could hear the raging storm outside angry, out of the corner of her eye Robin saw four Professor's an older woman, Dumbledore, a dark malicious looking man, and Lupin talking next to a bed housing the unconscious Harry four beds down,

 

“What are we going to do Albus, what if it was Lord Voldemort come to take his revenge?” asked an extremely concerned Professor McGonagall, Robin noticed the dark Professor starting to look her way, she quickly closed her eyes and focused all her energy to hearing the conversation

 

“Perhaps Minerva, we will have to be more careful this semester.” Said Professor Dumbledore,

 

“Knowing Mr. Potter he will find trouble,” remarked Professor Snape, “Still don't you think it's curious that, the bolt of lightning struck when it did?” asked Professor Snape,

 

“Lucky or not, it saved Harry and Robin's lives, Maybe we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.” Said Professor Lupin, Harry sired slightly but fell back asleep,

 

“We should discuss this later,” said Professor McGonagall leaving followed by Snape

 

“What ever your suspicions of Miss. Scelto might be they should wait until this mess it sorted out.” Professor Lupin was angry with Dumbledore's request but nodded in agreement,

 

`What suspicions dose he meen?' thought Robin, as the Professors' opened the door to leave, Jasmine ran past them Dumbledore and Lupin looked at each other

 

“I thought her cat was put in the Gryffindor house with her other things?” asked Professor Dumbledore,

 

“It was,” said Lupin, the cat jumped in her bed walked up to her head sniffing it she began to lick Robin,

 

“Hi Jasmine,” said Robin weakly, Jasmine looked at her wide eyed “Don't worry I'll be ok,” Robin scratched under her chin her favourite spot, Jasmine curled into a ball and slept next to Robin's head, Professor Lupin had quietly followed the cat he'd hoped to retrieve it with out waking Robin but to his surprise she was already awake,

 

“Dad turn off the storm please,” immediately the storm stopped and cleared up revealing the half moon and thousands of bright stars it covered, Professor Lupin look out the window with amassment the storm that had raged with no sign of relinquishing it's rage suddenly stopped, Lupin left quietly careful not to allow Robin to know his presence

 

“Thanks Dad,” Robin rolled over and fell back asleep, Robin awoke the next morning to an absolute gorgeous morning the sun was bright and warm, cloudless with a cool breeze, singing birds the days that only exist in dreams, Robin smiled she knew her father was apologizing for letting the lightning become so strong

 

“Its ok Dad,” she said softly

 

“Robin, you're awake,” said the extremely happy Hermione, no one could believe that Robin recovered so quickly her injuries were worse then Harry's, he was still unconscious and here was Robin walking around almost as if the lightning never happened. The Nurse insisted on keeping her in the hospital wing an extra day just to be safe, it was annoying for Robin but she would have to put up with it, after all how could she explain such a miraculous recovery. The grounds around Hogwarts were filed with rare blue flowers, they looked similar to a lotus flower only a pale blue with a royal blue trim, and whenever Hagrid would cut them down, they would grow back with in minuets. With the most amazingly beautiful scent imaginable, the best way to describe it is the scent of lilies mixed with yellow roses, the whole school smelt of the flowers most of the girls were out picking them trying to figure out what they were,

 

“Perhaps it's some kind of lily?” asked Hermione admiring the scent,

 

“It's not a lily that's for sure,” said Annabel Nadeau, a third year Raven claw student, she and Hermione met two years ago on a school project and hit it off, becoming fast friends,

 

“It's a rare flower from Greece they grow outside my old school sometimes.” Said Robin she couldn't help but over hear the two girls

 

“You know what flower this is?” asked Annabel, Robin shook her head yes,

 

“It's called Zeus's Apology, legend has it that whenever Zeus would make Hera really angry she would travel to Earth from Mount Olympus and hide in one of the forests disguised as some kind of animal so Zeus wouldn't find her. She would normally go back after she cooled down but one time Zeus did the mother of all stupid things. And Hera left vowing never to return, so after months of searching coming up empty handed, he created a flower with the most beautiful scent in the world to apologize to Hera, and it would grow all over the world to make sure she seen it. Hera was touched by his gesture and returned to Olympus and ever sense then whenever Zeus had to apologize, he would make this flower grow, that's how the legends goes anyway.” Said Robin, she knew her father was trying to apologize for the lightning

 

“What did Zeus do to make Hera so angry?” asked Hermione, she thought it was the sweetest thing he loved her so much he crated a flower just for her

 

“Some think he cheated on her with a mortal, others think he accidentally wiped out her favourite city Atlantis, and very few think that in a fit of rage he killed one of her children. I personally think he sunk Atlantis,” Robin finished

 

“That's a very romantic story, but I still think its creepy how their brother and sister.” Said Annabel shivering,

 

“There not actually, Muggle scholars back in ancients times put that in there to make the story more interesting,” Robin sniffed the flower she just picked and walked off threw the field of flowers. A few hours later Harry woke up, everyone was astonished at his fast recovery as well; Robin knew her father was just trying to ease suspicion from her being more then normal.

 

“Harry do you remember anything before waking in the Hospital wing?” asked Hermione, sitting on the end of his hospital bed, and Ron on the other side,

 

“I couldn't see who attacked Robin and I, just Robin's eyes she stared right past me but she wasn't scared, it was strange.” Said Harry, everything was in bits a pieces for him

 

“Lucky that lightning stuck when it did, or you might have been a goner.” Said Ron, Hermione glared at him but then stared thinking on how lucky he actually was, for lightning something that is far from predictable to strike right at the perfect moment like that, was astronomically impossible,

 

“You don't think someone was controlling the lightning do you?” asked Harry light fear and uncertainty creeping into his voice

 

“Nah, no one can control the weather,” said Ron reassuringly,

 

“One man did,” said Hermione in her more I know more then you tone,

 

“2000 years ago in Greece one wizard became so powerful it was said he could control the weather it's self.” Educated Hermione

 

“What happened to him?” asked Harry,

 

“Legend has it, that one day a mob of wizard villagers drove the wizard out of the town, so to get his revenge he caused a massive storm that destroyed the village killing hundreds. Therefore, to punish him Zeus cursed him, his soul lost on the night of the full moon sealed with in a beast of darkness, he shall forever be cursed by the Wolf's curse never able to break it. Unless he commits an act of great courage and mercy with no personal gain of his own, then the curse will be lifted.” Harry and Ron's eyes were wide with fascination

 

“Wicked,” breathed Ron, later that day after Harry's many visitors Professor Dumbledore looked over the sleeping child, Harry quickly woke up aware of Dumbledore's presence

 

“Professor, is something the matter?” asked Harry

 

“No, I came to speak with you, I know you love finding trouble and fighting evil, but I ask you to be especially careful this year if the wizard that attacked you on the train works for Lord Voldemort, then he might have come back looking for revenge.” Harry sighed looking ashamed

 

“I understand Professor, what happened to Robin, she wasn't seriously hurt was she?” asked Harry feeling extremely guilty she was pulled into his mess

 

“She did sustain worse injuries then you, but she has already recovered, she is fine.” Harry smiled grateful but he wondered if she blamed him for her injuries

 

“You should rest Harry,” Professor Dumbledore left, but Harry still felt guilty for what happened, he wanted to be friends with her once he's out of here he's going to apologize

 

“Why do they always use white sheets in hospitals aren't they aware of other colours?” asked Robin standing next to one on the sheets that separated the beds

 

“Who knows why they have them this colour.” Said Harry looking up at Robin

 

“I guess they've been this way for so long that no one wants to bother changing it, but I think change is a good thing.” Commented Robin, Harry smiled at her comment

 

“Hey Robin,”

 

“Hmmm,”

 

“I sorry about you getting pulled into that fight with me,” Said Harry in a quite small voice, Robin looked at Harry surprise

 

“Harry I don't blame you, it's that wizards fault not yours, and besides he's a crater now so nothing to worry about,” she smiled Robin was practically one of the most understanding people on the planet, Harry couldn't help but laugh at her comment she was right but it was very funny

 

“Hey Robin, how come you weren't scared back there?” Harry asked

 

“I was scared just hid it real well.” A weird silence blanketed the two students; Robin had to do something before it drove her up the wall

 

“So I hear you're a real trouble maker,” commented Robin

 

“Depends who you ask,” retorted Harry

“It does depend on who you make trouble for.” Said Robin raising an eyebrow

 

“Voldemort, mostly,” smiled Harry

 

“Oh then your not a trouble maker, the Greeks would call you a Hero in the making.” Said Robin with a large smile

 

“Greeks, aren't you Greek?" asked Harry with perplexed look on his face, Robin smiled even thought she wanted the fact her father was King of the gods she wasn't ashamed of her family

 

“Actually I was born in Brittan, I never knew my father till after I was one year old he took me and I lived in Greece sense then.” Robin smiled

 

“Really, what happened?” Harry asked Robin's eyes went dark and an aura of sadness surrounded her

 

“My mother was killed; my father took me in after, with his wife and raised me as his their own.” She answered sadly Harry looked down

 

“I'm sorry my parents were killed when I was a baby too.” Harry's face didn't darken as much as Robin's did, hers almost as if she remembered the night when her mother was killed

 

“I'm sorry to hear that,” Harry looked at Robin surprised he thought everyone knew about his story he never met a wizard that didn't

 

“You're the only witch I've met, that didn't know my story.” Robin smiled

 

“Sorry Harry but your just a normal wizard to me.” Harry looked up at her eyes sparkling happily more then they ever have before

 

“Really!” he asked excitedly

 

“Yes really,”

 

“Wait, Scelto isn't a British name?” asked Harry was a confused look on his face

 

“I know, it's my father's name, I use to go by my mothers name, but when I came here, my dad insisted that I go by his name, I don't know why.” Explained Robin

 

“What was her name?” asked Harry utterly fascinated by Robin's story, but before Robin could answer, Professor Lupin came in looking up on him

 

“Oh, you have a guest, Get well soon Harry.” Said Robin turning to leave

 

“One last question?” asked Harry

 

“Sure,”

 

“How did you heal so fast?” she smiled at his question, she wondered when someone would ask

 

“Beats me, blessing of the gods,” she continued leaving greeting hello to Lupin as she left,

 

“I see you two are becoming fast friends.” Lupin commented

 

“Yes she is interesting; she was born in Brittan but moved to Greece after her mother died, she is the only witch I've ever met that didn't know about me or didn't really care.” Lupin smiled

 

“You seem to be quite fond of her.” Harry blushed bright red

 

“Really professor, don't be silly,” Harry crossed his arms, but Lupin smiled

 

“So how are you feeling?”

 

“Alright, hope to be out of here soon,” Late that night Robin slept in her bed almost uneasy, suddenly her eyes shot open she looked around the dark room, the other girls were sound asleep, Hermione was next to her, then at the end her bed in the middle of the room Robin saw a cloaked figure standing motionless in the shadows with blood red eyes, she stared at him for a few seconds before sleep clamed her again, she jolted up in bed the next morning the image of the figure fresh in her mind but nothing was there, not even a sign something once was, Robin just shrugged it off as a nightmare.

 

End Chapter here:
