Enjoy a maybe-Oneshot.

Challenge Owner: DZ2
Challenge: Harry the Twice-Blessed Half-Blood
Plot: Every Half-Blood has one god-parent, this we know: however, Harry is different because of one reason: through the ways of the divine, he has more than one god for a parent/guardian
Rules:
Light, Grey or Dark Harry (Grey)
Harry's first god-parent MUST be one of the twelve while others can be any of the Greek/Roman Mythological forces: gods, deities, divines etc (Done)
Harry and Percy MUST have different views of right and wrong (Harry: The Gods Fucked up and I'll have to do everything myself, frustrated view. Percy: The Gods Fucked Up but I'll try and fix it while not angering them)
Either Thalia, the Di Angelos or Clarisse must be allied with Harry - any others are up to the reader (Haven't decided, leaning towards Clarisse)
Whoever Harry's god-parent is MUST break the law and talk/interact/meet with Harry - they do this because of Halloween and they don't want to lose him again (Done)
If Harry is Dark, Luke MUST see Harry as the new leading force of the New Olympus and pledge to serve him instead of Kronos (Doesn't Apply)
When Harry is 'determined' it must be because of a canon Hogwarts event e.g. defending the Stone, the troll, the Basilisk, the spiders etc (Will See Next Chapter, if there is one)
Any pairings are welcome EXCEPT Harry/Hermione and Harry/Percy (Done)
Tom and Dumbledore must both feel wary about Harry when he comes into his god-like powers (Done)
The Horcrux is destroyed - unless Harry's 'other' god-parents use it to 'determine' him as theirs (see below) (You'll See if I continue)
Even though he leaves Hogwarts for CHB or his own dwellings, Harry must still keep in touch with his friends (Problem Solved, if I continue)
At least one of Harry's friends - or a redeemed friend if you want to use someone like Draco or Severus - must be a Half-Blood (You'll see if I continue)
Sirius and Remus do not abandon him (Always nice to see)
Guidelines:
Powerful Harry (Accepted)
Harry and Percy as enemies
Immortal Harry
Master of Death Harry
The force that determines Harry is a primordial e.g. Thanatos, Erebus, Nyx, Chaos etc
Harry's god-parent - his main one - is one of the Big Three
Lily and/or James were that particular god in human form
Others of the HP universe are Half-Bloods (Accepted)
A prophecy being made about Harry
Slash (Accepted, if I continue)
The PJ/Heroes of Olympus universe being diverted from canon due to Harry's involvement e.g. Harry goes after the Lightning Bolt and keeps it or Harry helps Luke claim the Fleece and destroys Cronus (Accepted, you'll see if I continue)
Kronos - somehow - is Harry's god-parent - so a Titan-Harry could be allowed too
Forbidden:
Harry remaining the naive, malleable wizard/demigod people wish him to be
Harry's actual god-parent being anything other than Olympian/Roman
Dumbledore and Tom as allies of Harry
Sirius and Remus abandoning Harry
Metal Wings
Prologue
Centuries ago, the Roman Goddess Fortuna, Goddess of Luck, Blessed a mortal man who helped her when she was injured while in mortal form. He and all males of his line would bear the burden of Luck. They would experience the Good and the Bad, the extremes and degrees of both. It was the least she could do, for she could not Bless him with only one or the other, for the Balance must be kept.
And so, the man went on, and his Family became known by the name Fortunatus, the Fortunate.
The name, however, became lost in time as centuries passed. The Fortunatus Family became the Felixus, then the Grypens, and then they moved on from Rome.
They became the Gryffons, the Gryffindors, the Findons, the Peverells.
Finally, they became the Potter Family, and thus they remained for centuries.
And still, the Goddess of Luck's Blessing lived in them.
It was this Luck that drew the attention of the God of Fire, the Forge, and Volcanoes, Lord Vulcan. He watched the family, who had grown to become strong magic users, Blessed through one of their female ancestors by Hecate, with the gift of Magic, before Fortuna met that mortal so long before. Often he would take on the form of a crippled old blacksmith known only by the name of Valcus, and taught their more-talented children the 'magic' of what came to be known as Transfiguration, and tricks of the forge.
He continued to do so over the years, until the day that there were only daughters born of the Potter line, their Blessing of Luck diminishing with the lack of males born. Desperate for her Family to continue on, the youngest daughter of the last Potter Lord, who had grown old and frail, called upon Lord Vulcan, and begged for his assistance in strengthening their line. The God, having grown deeply fond of the talented Family over the centuries, agreed to assist the woman, one Selene Jasmine Potter, in baring a son.
Charlus Valcus Potter was born, healthy and strong, with an immense gift for Transfiguration, fire spells, and an affection for working with metals and building things. The Potter Luck returned, stronger than it had been in centuries. Lord Vulcan watched over his Demigod son when he could, as he had for his ancestors, and occasionally, he would once more appear as a harmless, crippled blacksmith, and teach the lad a trick or two with metal or magic, whichever the boy wanted.
Charlus married Dorea Black, the love of his life, and together they had a son named James Charlus Potter. James brought with his birth the Potter Luck and his Demigod Father's strength in Transfiguration, but he also brought an undisiplined attitude that Lord Vulcan disapproved of. He did not show himself to the young mortal. He did not teach him the wonders of the forge or the power and responsibility of true Transfiguration. He did not acknowledge his grandson, as James's actions spoke loudly of his undisciplined mentalities, preferring pranks and bullying rather than study and focus.
Vulcan stopped watching over him by the time he was fourteen, and would not be reminded of the family again for many years.
Because of this, he would not know that James Potter would change after witnessing the near-death of his rival and fellow-student, Severus Snape, at the jaws of his friend Remus Lupin, because of the cruelty of his best friend and cousin, Sirius Black. Lord Vulcan would not witness James focussing upon his studies, nor his determination to train and dedicate himself to becoming stronger. Would not witness the young man become a Lord with the murder of his parents. He would not witness his grandson's fights within the Wizarding War, nor his joining of the highly disciplined ranks of the Wizarding Aurors. He would not witness James' marriage of the beautiful, fiery mortal named Lily Evans.
The Roman God of the Forge would not heed the couples call upon the Gods for a child, when it was discovered that, through an injury in the line of duty, James could not produce an heir.
Lord Vulcan did not hear the plea...
But the Greek God, Hermes, did.
Harry James Potter was born on July 31st 1990, at 11:55 PM, with his mothers green eyes, and the messy black hair, upturned eyebrows, and a small, sharp nose of the God of Messengers, Travellers, and Thieves.
And, on October 31st, 1991, James and Lily Potter would be murdered, and their son hidden from his Father's view, the Potter Luck rearing its powerful, ageless head.
He would not be found again, until a decade later, when a certain letter was sent, and two Gods once more found a reason to take interest in the Potter Line.
A/N: Really short, yes, but it's the background taken care of, at least... I may or may not continue on this, my Muses are being fussy, I dunno. (Shrugs)
Anyways, review, please!
