Taking out several Port Keys I pass them around and with a deep breath I reach out the password.

" Sacrifice. "

Chapter 26
Alex POV.

My feet hit the ground with an audible thud and thankfully I did not stumble or loose my balance . Looking around I saw that we were in on Half Blood Hill , Thalia's tree stood several meters away and the Dragon ,Festus, that Leo made slumbered beneath the shade of the tree . As soon as we started to move he lifted is head and his gaze locked on us .

I looked around and saw that the Death Eaters and Voldemort eyes were all trained on Festus , Nico was as well but he took no interest to him, that was until Festus got up . Nico immediately unsheathed his sword and held it before him . Well it was more like he was protecting Voldemort since he stood in front of the man in a defensive position.

I couldn't help myself ,I snorted and rolled my eyes . Idiot.
"Really Nico ." I shook my head and headed towards Thalia's tree where Festus lie . I knew I was being cold but I would explain myself towards Voldemort later but for now I couldn't let anyone else see through my mask I had built while at Camp. Besides the Death Eaters would notice , Nico even as cold as he is becomes even more closed off at camp , with the exception of me of course.

I was feet away from Festus and I knew the others were close by , from the sound of their footsteps . Festus moved his body blocking our path and moved his face so it was inches away from my own . I stared into bright orange eyes that looked into mine , smiling I brought my hand up and rubbed his head.

" Hey boy ,good to see you again ." I got a loud purr in response before he went back to lying under the shade by Thalia's tree .

I heard Nico snort and turned to look at him ." Only you Alex can be friendly with the Dragon that tries to eat everyone including the one that made him." he said shaking his head in disbelief . I just shrugged , it wasn't my fault .Animals just liked me . Even the metal ones.

I continued to walk and felt myself enter Camps borders and soon as I entered the sound of laughter , shouting, and metal clashing reached my ears .

" We need to go to the Big House,  there's currently a meeting, I assume that Chiron wants to introduce you to the cabin leaders before you get settled in. I'll give you a warning though, try to stay away from the Aphrodite cabin if you still want to keep any of your marriages. " I say knowing the Aphrodite cabin tries to tear apart most relationships for their own benefits so they could have fun.

I turn and start to walk backwards , facing the group of wizards I looked at there faces as they looked around Camp , hopefully they wont kill anyone for working on their nerves but if they did I would have to direct them towards the Athena cabin.

I catch Voldemorts eye and give him a small smile , I got one in return and turned again so I was walking properly . I frowned, the Aphrodite cabin better stay away from him , he was mine after all . Only mine.

I felt someone walk next to me and I did not have to turn my head to know it was Nico .

" Try not to kill anyone water girl." ha look who's talking .

" You too Death breath ." I say with a smile .

We reached the front f the Big House and I did not knock or wait for someone to open , I opened the door and walked right to the meeting room . There Chiron , Big D and the cabin leaders were all sitting around the ping pong table , I idly noticed the extra chairs in the room .

All talking stopped when Nico and I entered the room and I could feel all the pair of eyes starring into the side of my face which I ignored . I nodded towards Big D and went to take a seat on the far side of the room  far away from the table as possible .

Nico stood in the doorway waiting for the everyone to enter the house before introductions which he did not give because Chiron decided to instead .

" Hello , you must be Lord Voldemort , I am Chiron one of the people in charge of Camp, I had just told them that you and followers would be staying with us until the end of the war , Its a pleasure to meet you , I have heard many things about you , all good i assure you ." Chiron rambled , huh , who knew he could ramble , was it even possible for immortals to be intimated let alone a suck up. Then again Voldemort was immortal ,powerful and intimidating .  Big D on the other hand showed no outwards reaction , only nodding his head to them .

" Why don't you take a seat and we can discuss everything ." he gestured to the empty seats and I had to fight back a laugh that wanted to escape wen I saw Lucius expression . Looks like camp is not up to his standards .

Voldemort immediately came to sit next to me and the others arranged themselves around him , even though their was an open chair Nico stayed standing leaning against the wall behind my chair .

But I wasn't staring at Voldemort no I was staring at a certain strawberry blonde haired , with blue eyes , eyes that were trained on Voldemort . She had a smile on her face which I wanted to wipe off , stupid child of Aphrodite , I almost groaned , when one Aphrodite child had a crush they all got it as well . Her eyes assessed everyone of the men before they settled back onto Voldemort .

" Well now that we all settled why don't we begin ." Chiron said in a cheerfully voice .

I almost groaned , the stay at Camp is defiantly going to be a long and painful one .
