The nights with Regulus didn't stop. It was about every two nights. We also started discussing what we knew about the darks arts. 
When I woke up today, I didn't have nightmares. Good. But when I woke up, no one was there. Probably got up early. I was reaching for my watch, when I noticed a piece of Paper. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YN
When you wake up and read this, meet us in the Room of Requirements. We'll be waiting. We'll give it another go.
Yours, 
Annabeth,Piper,Hazel 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good, then I'll tell them what I saw a few nights ago. 
I made my way down when I bumped into someone. 
"Woah! Be careful!" Leo said. 
"Thanks," I mutter straightening myself. 
"Off to the meeting too?" He asked. 
"Yeah," I reply curtly. 
We walk together in awkward silence. Luckily, we didn't bump into someone on our way. 
When we entered they were all already sitting at the table. But no drinks this time. 
"Morning, you two. Straight to the point: What do you know so far?" Annabeth greeted us. 
"He's been acting nervous for a while..." Piper said. 
"I notice he has black bags under his eyes." Jason said having bags under his eyes himself. 
"I saw him walking out of the common room ,"
"YN, it's not suspicious if someone walks out of-" 
"At about 2am." That caught Annabeth's attention."I followed him out . But I lost him on the way. I was only able to follow him to the Entrance hall. Then... poof! He just disappeared. I got the feeling he knew I was there..." 
"What?! YN I told you you are bad at sneeking-" Percy started byt I cut him off.
"I was about 20 meters away from him. How could he know? No, it wasn't me. He was looking down at some parchment." 
Annabeth nodded her head all along. She had her thinking face on. 
"I also saw him leave the dorm a few weeks ago." Percy said. 
"What?! And you're saying this now?" 
"But he went to the kitchen to get snacks." 
Jason smacked his forehead and Piper stifled a laugh. 
Percy looked at them with confused eyes,"What?" 
"Mate," Leo said, also stifling  a laugh,"You all call me dumb, but I sure ain't dumb as you. You really believed he was going to the kitchen?" 
We all burst out laughing. Percy frowned. 
Annabeth slammed her hand on the table and we all shut up,"You're laughing? He could be engaged in dark arts this moment and you're all laughing! I have something forming in my mind. But it most probably will work. But I doubt you'll like it. " 
Since this is a plan by Annabeth, the success rate is close to a hundred percent. 
As she talked, Frank stared at her with wide eyes. Piper looked absolutely stunned and Jason looked like was about to punch the next person that talked. I stared at her. This thing is gonna be crazy. 
Something shimmered in the air and we all raised our weapons, ready to fight, only to see Chiron in his wheelchair looking down at us. 
"Ahh good, you're alone. That's great." He said," I was fearing you were in someone else's presence. Tell me, how far are you?" 
Annabeth filled him on all we knew and on the plan. 
Chiron nodded along,"You're not close enough to him. Like that you won't get him talking without Piper's help" 
"YN has been closest to the marauders," Hazel said and for some reason I flushed. 
"Well not really. I mean since I am going to the dance with Sirius-" 
"WHAT THE HADES YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT!" 
"Percy, we'll have this conversation later. As I was saying, since I am going to the dance with Sirius, we were getting closer, you know... to get to know each other more." 
"Remus is basically Annabeth's study parter right now," I said. 
"This day is so full of surprises." Percy said throwing his hands up. 
"Don't be an idiot, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth retorted. 
Chiron was quiet and no one talked for a while. 
"Did-did any of you hear of the dark arts?" Chiron finally asked. 
"Practically, I was close to doing some research on the subject-" 
"I overheard Sirius and James talking the other night," Leo said, finally talking interrupting a glaring Annabeth. 
"Do go on" 
"They were talking about a guy named Voldemort. Sirius' parents or one of his closest followers. That is part of why he ran away." 
Chiron nodded again," I think Sirius will be most helpful to you about dark arts. Though this could be a touchy subject." 
"Regulus knows a lot about the dark arts," the words come out of me before I could even think them through. 
"Regulus?" Chiron asked. 
"Sirius' younger brother. We have been researching about the dark arts lately." 
Percy slammed his hand on his forehead,"Mom's gonna kill me for letting you do all this. When and where and why?"
I shot Percy a glare,"On many sleepless nights on the Astronomy tower. We've reached a lot lately." 
I looked around, but Leo wouldn't meet my gaze, he kept his eyes trained on his hands under the table. 
"All right, you know what to do now. Good luck, demigods. I wish you all the best of luck." 
Chiron disappeared and we were left in silence. Finally Annabeth said,"We'll better get going. But plan starts tonight. 2am common room. Don't ruin this."
