Hello!

Ok, this is one of my first fanfictions. I originally started posting this on Wattpad, but then discontinued four chapters in. I'm not sure how often I will be updating, so don't expect it to be consistent. Chapter lengths will also vary. I am not sure if all my facts and stuff are right for these two fandoms, so if there are any major mistakes, please feel free to point them out.

Thanks! Enjoy reading!

Nico POV

Two years after the Giant War had ended, I was 16. I was dating Will Solace, and the nightmares had become much less often. In short, I was truly happy.

Will and I were enjoying the sun sitting quietly in the strawberry fields at Camp Half-Blood one morning. I leaned into Will's shoulder, smiling and enjoying the sun, its warmth so different from the shadows I had too much experience with. Suddenly, I gasped, as an icy sensation tore through my body. Will immediately went into doctor-mode.

"Nico?" Will felt my skin, now icy cold. "Is something wrong?"

I shook my head. "It was a summon. My father wants to see me."

Will considered this. Then he said, "Be careful. I know you can shadow-travel, but please don't do it too much. No skeletons or anything. Don't anger anyone either."

I nodded, knowing that Will wouldn't take no for an answer, and shadow-traveled into Hades' throne room. He regarded me with an expressionless face.

"Hello Nico. It is a pleasure to see you again." My father finally said. I thought about my response carefully, before giving up and saying what came to mind.

"Skip the pleasantries. I visited last month. What do you want, Dad?" I deadpanned. Hades sighed.

"Well, if you remember, I have mentioned those blessed by Hecate. It typically runs in their bloodline, though some of them are born of mortals. Very few of them have a true claim to godly ancestry. They call themselves wizards and witches. There is a quest for you that Hecate has insisted upon. You must go and protect one boy, the Chosen One, from a corrupt wizard known as Voldemort. They have their own prophecy:

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches

Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not

And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies"

I thought about it for a moment, committing it to memory, and nodded.

"That's the basic premise of your mission. The Chosen One must live to fulfil this prophecy, though not yet. I have sensed danger and death in his near future, and he came close to death just a few months ago. So, Hecate and I thought it best that he be looked after. This boy is at a wizarding school in Britain known as Hogwarts. He is starting his sixth year out of seven this fall, and you shall join his year. There are four houses and you will be sorted into one.

You will also have a cover story provided by Hecate. I believe you will be an exchange student from America. You are not to reveal your identity or past, unless there is someone you truly trust. Knowing your past with trust, I believe you will be able to make this choice. You may have two demigods join you, preferably your age."

"Will and Reyna," I say immediately. Hades considers my choices. He knew about Will and me being a thing, though he never seemed to mind, for which I was glad.

"Will is fine, he is young enough that we can call him 16, despite him being 17. Though Reyna… The Roman praetor is, well, Roman. Her gods will have to approve this mission. Being praetor, she may not have the time to spare. Plus, she is older, and would be placed in her seventh year. According to her age, she should have just graduated, though that can be worked around."

I nod in understanding. "If it is too difficult, then just Will is fine as well." I briefly considered Hazel, but I didn't want her to get dragged into another quest.

"Three is better for a quest, but if you insist, then very well. You will have some supplies to get and some research to do. There is much to learn about their culture. Hecate will be at Camp Half-Blood at this time tomorrow."

With that, Hades got up from his throne, and left. I stared after him, and shadow-traveled away.

"I hope that you don't mind that I signed you up for this," I say, having just finished an explanation of the conversation. He shook his head quickly.

"Of course not. I just wish that neither of us would have to go. You, I think, have been through too much." Will sighed. I smiled in a way I hoped was reassuring.

"I'll be fine, now let's go pack."

We found a list of supplies we would need that Hades left on my bunk, and Will left for the Apollo cabin to pack his own things.

That night, my boyfriend came back with a small trunk of stuff. His seemed fully, despite the two of us having packed the same things. We curled up on my bunk.

"You're worried," Will murmured into my hair, "It will be fine. It is only until next summer, then we can go back to normal." I nod, but didn't smile. Will didn't see my face. We fall asleep in each other's arms, though I still worry about the next several months.
