The Alliance
A/N: Hey! This is HoneySugar100. Before you start reading, I have a few things to explain. This is a Harry Potter X Heroes of Olympus crossover. I've changed things around a bit. After defeating Gaea (HoO) and Deathly hallows (HP) is over (Yes, I know the time sequence is not correct, but I made it like this so that it works for this story), both the demigods and wizards don't encounter any problems for a year, and they have joint together to build a huger camp. The traditions are the same; it's just that they're in one camp. And Leo and Hazel are together. On the wizard side, Fred is still alive. He was very badly injured, but recovered. Then a new enemy has risen (You will read about this in the story) and he can be killed only if wizards and demigods working together. Please read, rate and review!
A/N 2: in this story, I've made it so that Voldemort isn't completely destroyed. A tiny fragment of his soul still remains in his body. It can remember everything and all his knowledge remains the same. His body is also intact, courtesy of a spell cast on himself when he was alive.

Percy's POV
I can't believe that a year has already passed. A year since I turned sixteen. A year since Luke sacrificed himself. A year since Kronos was killed. A year since I saw my dad. A year since I became the sword-master of Camp Half-Blood. A year since Tyson became the general of the Olympian armies. A year since Rachel became the new Oracle. A year since I started dating Annabeth. A lot can happen in a year. But the most surprising, and disturbing thing was that we haven't been attacked nor had some problem to deal with ever since Kronos left the scene. Nobody left on any quests, except the Aphrodite kids, on quests for fashion. Although, I must admit, leading a problem-less life sure is good. I'm sitting on the beach right now, it's nearing sunset, watching the waves and making small talk to Millie the hippocampus who now lives quite close to the beach. She senses me when I'm around and stays with me on the beach till I go. I've grown quite fond of her. I remembered Tyson and his obsession for 'fish-ponies' as he called the hippocampi.
"What are you thinking about, huh?" I jumped.
"Annabeth" I said calmly, as though her sudden appearance, or should I say disappearance, didn't surprise me at all. "I was expecting it."
"Liar!" she said as she whipped off her New York Yankees cap and sat down next to me. "You jumped about a mile into the air" "I did not!" I said, offended.
"I have fought monsters and titans, why would I be afraid of my girlfriend?" Annabeth wasn't listening. She was looking at the sunset. It looked like half the sun had sunken beneath the waves. Golden light was spreading all over the place. Annabeth's blonde hair caught the light and made it look almost golden. The sun reflected in her stormy grey eyes, and they looked luminescent. "Gorgeous, right?" she breathed. "Yes" I replied. But I wasn't looking at the sunset. She peeked a look at me and blushed. I put my arm around her waist and she rested her head on my shoulder. We sat like that watching the sunset. IT was romantic.
Finally, it was time to go. I got up and offered my hand to her. She took it and we made our way to dinner. "I heard some gossip from the Aphrodite girls that Chiron is going to make a very important announcement today at dinner." asked Annabeth. I raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you become interested in gossip?" I asked her as I pretended to check her forehead for temperature. "You don't have a fever or anything…" She punched me. "I just heard, okay? Don't make a big deal about it." "Okay, fine Wise Girl." I dodged out of the way of another punch. "Seaweed Brain"
"Owl Face"
"Kelp Head"
"Smarty Pants"
"Ocean Breath"
"The next Einstein"
"That's not an insult, Salmon Brains"
"Uh… I give up!"
"Ha! You gave up!"
"I just said so." I grumbled. "Well…" began Annabeth, but thankfully just then, Chiron's voice boomed out "Heroes, take your places." I spotted Grover waving frantically from an eleven- seater table. We no longer sit with our cabins because new ones like Morpheus, Hecate, Isis, and Nemesis have been added and we can't fit all their tables in the hall. So Chiron ordered the Hephaestus campers to make new six, four, two, and ten seater tables. I dragged Annabeth over to where Grover was sitting with Thalia, Nico, Juniper and the rest of the seven from the prophecy and Rachel the Oracle. There was just enough space to fit in me and Annabeth.
After all of the campers had gotten places at various tables, Chiron banged his hoof (He's a centaur) on the table. "Heroes! I need your attention please. I have some important news to convey to all of you." The whole room quieted down. "Good. Now I have some bad news. Kronos has risen again."
A new buzz broke out. I exchanged weary looks with the rest of the table. All we want is a few years of peace. Is that too much to ask for? Chiron let us converse for a few minutes before calling for silence.
"Now, I know that this is terrifying news. But I've got worse." Gods, what could be more terrifying than Kronos rising again? It took all the powers of the gods, a heavy death toll on the part of the demigods, and the sacrifice of Luke to banish Kronos to the depths of Tartarus again. Oh and there had been this minor matter of a giant monster, literally the daddykins of all the monsters, breaking out of his prison and wreaking havoc on all civilizations of the world. I repeat, what could be more terrifying than Kronos? "He has found a host in the body of a man who lives in a world parallel to ours .It's nearly as crazy as our world." I snorted. No world could have a record of craziness compared to that of demigods. "This is the main news. There will be a counselors' meeting held at the rec room tomorrow at 10 am. And I expect every counselor to be present there. That's all bad news for today. Tuck in." We attacked our food, but, none of us could stop talking about what Chiron had just said. I got some quality time with Annabeth before curfew, and I made my way to the Poseidon Cabin. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and for a change, I didn't have any nightmares.
ANNABETH'S POV
I woke up pretty early today. It was only, like, six in the morning. I freshened up walked over to the mirror and tied my curly blonde hair into a pony tail. I wanted to try and find out more about the 'parallel world' Chiron had told us about. But, hey, I couldn't very well type 'parallel worlds' in Daedalus' laptop, could I? I mean, yeah, sure, I way advanced than most of the mortal laptops, but still, it was programmed by Daedalus and maybe even he wouldn't have heard of this world before. I hated not knowing anything. But I guess it couldn't hurt to wait another four hours, would it? Sigh. I'm going to look at some of the marvelous architectural designs Daedalus created. It always helps me calm down. Hey, this sketch gives me an excellent idea for the Aphrodite temple. She's sooooo picky. I'll start working on it right now. . . . . . .
(10 am, just before the counselor's meeting starts)
I sprinted to the Big House. I completed the Aphrodite temple and had begun working on a statue of Zeus when I suddenly noticed that it was five to ten. I only had enough time to store my drawings safely and hurl a few curses in Ancient Greek at my siblings for not having told me earlier. They looked embarrassed, or so I hoped – I didn't stick around to see, I was already late. As I went in, Chiron (in his wheelchair form) greeted me. "Why Annabeth, you are two minutes late today. What happened?" "The world is about to end!" gasped Conner Stoll as he hooted and traded a hi-fi with his brother Travis. "Shut up" I glared at them and I turned to Chiron apologetically. "Sorry Chiron. I got carried away while I was drawing up the design for Aphrodite's temple." He smiled at me knowingly. I surveyed the room. Mr. D sat at one of the chairs at the head of the table. I saw Leo (Hephaestus), Jason (Zeus), Piper (Aphrodite), Percy (Poseidon), Katie (Demeter), Travis, Conner (Both from Hermes), Butch (Iris), Allegra (Nemesis), Lou Ellen (Hecate) and many others. Hazel Levesque, Frank Zhang, Rachel, the Oracle, Octavian, the Roman augur and Reyna, the praetor of Camp Jupiter were sitting in the room too. I saw a familiar face with spiky black hair and a silver ringlet. "Thalia!" I cried as I went to sit next to her. Percy was sitting next to her and Nico. Oh gods, Nico. He had grown. His long black hair was cut back and he had actually stopped wearing those Goth rings. Now he looked human like the rest of us, not typically like devil spawn. I gave him a hug too. He was like a brother to me. "Hmm. . . Nico! You look cuter now. How old are you?" "That's what I said" Percy chimed in. "He's stopped looking like his dad." "Oh, shut up." He told Percy "Fifteen this September" he replied to my question. "Hmm… all we need now is a gorgeous girl from Aphrodite cabin, and you're all set to date."
"Um, Annabeth?"
"Yeah, kiddo? "
"Shut up"
"Yep"
"Let us start the meeting." Chiron interrupted our argument. "This meeting has been called to discuss a message that my counter-part of the parallel world, Albus Dumbledore has sent." The name was weird . . . and kind of funny. Percy, Thalia, Nico, Jason, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Reyna and I managed to keep our laughter in check, although the Children of the Big Three, seven of the prophecy (Check: excluding Leo) and a praetor will not take any blame for those few chortles, giggles, and snorts let out. But we were better than most*cough, cough Stolls cough Valdez cough* - they were in a bout of fully fledged laughter.
Chiron shushed them. "Now, I know that most of you are dying to know what this parallel world is." Percy, Thalia and Nico smirked at me when I caught the edge of the table in a death grip. My finger nails bore into the table. I was pretty sure that my nails would leave marks on it. "Now, I assume that most of you are familiar with Goddess Hecate?" We nodded. "So, does anybody know the most popular myth of Hecate?" I nodded. So did Reyna, Thalia, Lou Ellen and . . . Leo?Most of the room looked surprised.
Mr. D just yawned and snapped his fingers for a can of Diet Coke. Chiron merely twinkled at Leo and said, "Leo, why don't you tell us the story?" Leo grinned. "Okay! So Hecate is the goddess of magic, right?" Everyone nodded. "So obviously she can do magic-" Eyes roll "-and help others to do magic. If everyone's clear with this, I'll proceed."
"Gee, whaddya say Leo?" asked Travis. "Which language were you even speaking?" went Conner, sarcastically. "I didn't understand a word you said."
"Ha-ha very funny, Stolls. Let me continue, will you" "Travis, Conner, shut up." I commanded. "Thanks, Annabeth. Okay, so the legend goes like this. There were four inseparable friends. They were mortals who could see through the Mist and they knew some demigod children. These four had always wanted to do magic. When they grew older, the decided to approach Goddess Hecate and ask her to give them magic. She told them to start learning magic of their own. In a year's time, if she thought that they had actually been trying and were worthy, she would gift them with magic. So, these four travelled the world. They learnt magic with basic things first. Such as producing water, fire, wind etc. And the names of these four were…" He turned to Chiron helplessly. I hate to admit, even I was stumped. I waited for Chiron to tell us. "Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw" said Chiron. This time, none of us could control our laughter. Travis, Conner, Leo (obviously) and most other counselors were blue in the face. I was wheezing from laughing too much. Reyna was trying to regain her composure and was utterly failing. Leo was now on the floor. "Huffle…puff" he choked. Travis was like "Slytherin… slithering. None of the others were any better. Chiron went "Heroes! Calm down" No avail. Surprisingly, it was Dionysus who shut us all up. "Yo! I'm in need of another can of Diet Coke. The next brat who laughs becomes a can of soda." O f course that shut us up. "The point of this story is that it is not a story. It is true." "And . . ." Percy asked. "Their descendents have multiplied over the years. There is a whole wizarding world in Britain." We nodded gravely. Then- "Wait, what?" Leo, Percy, Hazel, Thalia, Nico, Jason, Piper, Frank and I yelled. "It is true." He said. "And Kronos-"Some people shuddered. "-has made an alliance with the dark wizard there – Lord Voldemort." Despite the serious mood, we giggled. Seriously, what was up with those names? "And to defeat this new foe, we have to learn their ways, and they ours. The Hecate Cabin is in charge of teaching the whole camp magic. Hecate has blessed you, so you don't have to worry about not being able to do magic. Whereas, they have to learn swordplay the hard way. So the camp will be sending some of the best to their magic school – Hogwarts." Guess what we did? Yep, you're right – we laughed. This time the Stolls and Leo nearly went into hysterics. Chiron stamped his hoof. "Now, we will be reading the names of those going to Hogwarts.
