Something Isn't Right

Asteria P.O.V.

I didn't have much energy to continue from everything that happened yesterday. But we, Nico and I, have been not fully welcome into the house as much. All the adults, minus Sirius, were worried that we were lying. I only knew that by them always whispering to themselves as they look at me or Nico. It was boring, to say the least. Nothing but chattering and them not letting us in on anything they say.

"I don't think that was a good idea," Nico says.

"We have no other choice. I used the Mist to cover up Sirius's appearance when we left," I say. "There was no other option."

The rest of our stay was filled with us being in the background. Which without a surprise Nico was doing all too well. No one really believes us without being we didn't give them solid proof. Though I believe Sirius is the only one who believes. So the day we had to leave made it much easier to leave.

I would say I liked being back but that would be lying. Hogwarts was the safest place for us demigods. With everything going on I kind of been calm as one would say. It wasn't something I'm used to.

I've been mostly silent with us training more often in the room. Doing homework from prying eyes and mostly keeping to myself. Thalia tries to be helpful but after putting everyone in some much danger by telling what we are. Isolating and going about the day with being outsight.

"You obviously have the need to keep them away from harm's way. And a willingness to make sure everyone is safe."

The voice was back this time more feminine than before. It had a motherly tone to it and I couldn't help but feel tears coming down my eyes.

"Look things are going to happen that I want you to be leading. What you be leading them to doesn't matter. You'll see when it's time."

I didn't know what to say. It was there and then gone like nothing. Something is going on that we don't know about. And I'm the leading factor for whatever it is.
