Everything was fine and dandy, Ashton and Kieran were talking outside of Hogwarts, just enjoying the cool breeze, but then suddenly everything went black.
They both felt like they were floating in the air but then the girls groaned and rubbed their bums. That hurt like hell. Their eyes shot open when they heard more thuds and glanced around.
There was ten more people there in the room with them.
It was, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Molly,Luna, Lavender, Minerva, and Dumbledore. But there was also a teenage boy with red hair and green eyes.
Everybody was confused as to what was happening, but the red-haired boy didn't talk to them, he just moved into the shadows, unnoticed.
They all, minus red-head, talked for a while but went silent when the doors opened up to reveal twelve beautiful beings.
Kieran squealed and pointed at the one with wings on his very handsome feet, Ashton looked and squealed also, catching the attention of said winged man.
He grinned at them cheekily, and they grinned right back, winking at him flirtatiously. The others beside Minerva and Hermione looked confused at the figures.
Ron stupidly asked, "Who the bloody hell are you ninnies?"
The four intelligent witches gaped at him in outrage and whacked him across the head.
Ashton got into a long discussion, "These people you prat, are known as the Greek Gods. Zeus, Hera, Hades, Persephone, Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hepheastus , and the best of them all, Hermes!"
Ron looked like he swallowed a lemon, "But those people aren't real!"
Kerian slapped him again, "Then how can you explain this sexy piece of meat right in front of us?" She said motioning with her hands at the smug messenger god.
Apollo sputtered, "Why is Hermes your favorite." But he immediately regretted it.
Both girls looked at him, smirking with a wicked gleam in their eyes, "Because, you guys never show any gratitude for all the hard work that you put him through, going down to the underworld and back to deliver one tiny slip of parchment, and to add, he's pretty damn sexy."
Though Ashton eyed Apollo up and down, "You come in a close second though for my favorite," He grinned at the others, Kieran grinned at Athena, "You're my close second too!"
Let's just say, Athena was pretty smug too. Zeus though now was the time of many moments to tell everyone on why they are here.
In his loud booming voice he spoke, filling up the room, "You are here for a reason, young ones. To take our place as gods of this world."
To say they were shocked was a MAJOR understatement. Luna dreamily stated, "So your taking a vacation?" Apollo snickered already knowing what place Luna will replace.
Dionysus smirked, "Yeah. A nice long vacation, when we comeback from this vacation, we will be sharing the positions."
Luna nodded and went back to gazing around the room. Dumbledore huffed; he didn't like to be surprised. "How on earth are we going to figure out who we are replacing?"
Poseidon grinned and pulled out a hat, it was filled with some things but they couldn't tell what.
"In this here hat, there are items that represent each god. Each of you are to put your hand in here but don't make a grab for anything. You have to let the item that suits you best to appear in your hand."
The others looked around and shrugged. "Who's first?"
Draco, the pompous git; strode forward and shoved his hand in the hat. He hissed as his hand was burned but pulled something out nonetheless. It was a glowing sun.
"You are taking the place of Apollo." Hermione and Ashton gave a snort, thinking how it suited him perfectly.
He shot them a confused look, before scooting back. Dumbles went next. He gingerly placed his hand inside and grasped something. He pulled it out and revealed a lighting bolt.
Fred and George wolf-whistled, bringing laughs to Dumbledore as he caressed the lightning bolt. Minerva was next. The same as Dumbledore, she reached in and grasped a thin stick. She pulled it out and It revealed a peacock feather.
Ashton and Kieran noticed this from where they were flirting with Hermes and Apollo and cheered out a song. "MINNIE AND DUMBLES SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Then they cackled and fell to the ground in outrageous laughter as Minerva flushed red.
Harry then stepped in front and put his hand in the bag, He grasped a thick stick and pulled. Out came the trident of Poseidon. His eyes grew wide at the sheer beauty of the artifact in his possession causing the sea god to smile at him.
He stepped back as Ron stepped forward, he jabbed his hand inside and pulled out a sword. He got Ares.
Hermione skipped to Zeus and gingerly reached in and pulled out a spear. She not surprisingly got Athena, Goddess of Wisdom.
Ginny went next and she pulled out a bow. It was a beautiful one made of willow and silk. She got Artemis.
Molly went of course after her daughter and pulled out a bouquet full of lilies. She was Demeter.
Kerian felt sorry for who-ever landed with Persephone.
Luna glided up and pulled out a wine bottle with a bowl of grapes, she popped one into her mouth and gave a lovely smile.
Lavender strutted to the bag and pulled out a heart, she shrieked and it fell to the ground. She got Aphrodite.
The twins grinned at each other and both reached in grabbing a hammer. They were going to have fun with this.
It was now Ashton's turn, and she un-wrapped her arms from around Apollo's torso and moved swiftly toward the bag in Zeus's hands.
She reached in and grabbed something round. She instantly paled, she had a pretty good idea on what it was.
She slowly pulled her hand out to see a bleeding cut open pomegranate; pouring out red juices all over her hand. She got the role of the Queen of the Underworld; The Goddess of Spring, Persephone.
She gazed at the fruit in fascination, as she moved back over to her best friend, Kieran gave her a pitying look and pinched her cheeks.
She gave a pout but began flirting with Apollo again, just so she could take her mind off of it.
Kieran's POV
Okay while I may tease she knew I felt sorry for her. I stepped forward, but then stopped, there was only two left to chose.
"What's the matter? Scared what you'll get?" The youngest Weasley boy sneered at me. I didn't even grace him with an answer, instead I turned to look at the dark corner where I knew he was hiding.
"You know, I don't bite that much and it would be a bit anti-climatic if we just left one behind." I told him, his figure shifted slightly before walking out.
Okay, he was hot, well muscled and with incredible green eyes, his red locks falling into them.
We both placed our hands in. It felt like some let water run over my skin before something was pressed against it, closing my hand around it. I pulled it out and grinned, the staff simple gold with two detailed serpents intertwined around it, a pair off gorgeous wings coming off it. Which meant if I looked I'd see a black helm in the others hand.
Normal POV
They all saw the items the two pulled out and just as the red-head was about to walk away the Slytherins hand shot out to grab the others arm, her eyes had a clam, steely look in them.
"Hurt Ashton you deal with me." Her voice was like her eyes and he nodded.
The two returned back to there previous places and watch in surprises as Ashton hugged her friend.
"Remember hun, I've always got your back." Ashton said back to her, "And you know I'll always have yours."
