Harry Potter x Percy Jackson and the Olympian Challenge

The title comes from the quote:

life asked death, "WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE ME BUT HATE YOU?" death responded, "BECAUSE YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE AND I AM A PAINFUL TRUTH."

While training, Nico di Angelo accidently shadow travels to Little Whinging, Surrey (or anywhere, it just has to be in England) and meets Fem!Harry Potter. They become friends and Nico takes Fem!Harry with him to Labyrinth and away from her relatives. Fem!Harry becomes involves with the 2nd Titan War before going to Hogwarts (I want it Pre-Hogwarts just simply because).


I would prefer it if it was Fem!Harry but it isn't a requirement.

I want a Fem!Harry because I wanted to mix it up a bit and instead of saying that Harry is the son/daughter/legacy of a god(s), he (or she) would be a magical creature. Particularly a banshee (keeping up with the theme of Death) like Lydia Martin from Teen Wolf.

In Teen Wolf, banshees are spirits, omens of deaths. The experience and envisualize premonitions of possible, impending, but affirmative deaths from hearing supernatural transmissions on a plane of the universe only they can access. Banshees often have no control over their abilities.


Fem!Banshee!Harry's (recommended) abilities include:

Magic

This is a given. What is Harry Potter without magic? Fem!Harry simply wouldn't know about it yet since it's Pre-Hogwarts. You can have her suspect it, discover it from Hecate or something. I'm particularly fond of her simply learning umbrakinesis: the control over darkness and shadows for various uses such as solidifying it for attacks and to hide in. I wanted to see a Harry with more abilities to depend on in a fight than just magic (it'd be her trump card).

Hand to hand combat

Look above.

I don't really want to see Harry with a sword. Maybe throwing knives, a bow staff or a chain whip; something capitalizing on speed, precision and agility (youngest seeker in the history of Quidditch here!).

Scream

Banshees scream when they are experiencing a premonition of death. The scream also has the purpose of drowning out all other surrounding sounds so they can focus on what only they can hear. The scream is a choice; banshees feel the urge to scream but they can choose to scream or not. This is because the whispers tend to 'overcrowd' the network and Fem!Harry would want to scream to shut them up. As it is a piercing scream, it can also be used as a weapon.

Death Harbringer

Banshees cannot only predict death, they can identify where death had occurred and sense a person's death by 'feeling' them pass away. They also go into fugue states where they are unaware of what is happening and travel to places of death.

Possession

This is one of their weaknesses. Banshees are very vulnerable to possession, probably due to their weakened defences that allow them to connect to the supernatural network.

Whispers

A banshee's power largely manifests as the ability to hear, particularly whispers or noises in their head that only they can receive and translate. Banshees are attuned to a level of the universe nothing else is and this network broadcasts supernatural messages surrounding death. Banshees are also able to connect to this network and issue whispers of their own to broadcast their own 'messages' or communicate with other banshees. This network can be access from inexplicable sources; plucking piano strings, listening to an inactive phone or through a record player.

In Teen Wolf, what they hear are whispers of their own kind. This eventually means that you'd have to eventually bring in another banshee. Since I suck at making OC [I tend to overpower them], I wanted it to be something different like voices of the dead and seers [like Luna in many fanfics] or maybe whispers of the fate strings.

The excuse for the lack of other banshees could be because they were seen as harbringers of death so the Ministry [and frightened, grief-stricken muggles] hunted them into hiding where they married into other families until their abilities went dormant. [Fem!Harry would come into her powers because of the Killing Curse] You could also have the few other banshees locked away in insane asylums because they went crazy from the whispers.

Master of Death

You can make her the Master of Death or not, I don't really care. Since I wanted it to be Pre-Hogwarts, the banshee thing would've been a nod to J.K Rowling on the Deathly Hallows if I never got to the Hogwarts years.

Possible pairings:

NicoxFem!Harry (because I've never seen this pairing)

NicoxPercy (I love this pairing! It was canon and than it wasn't. The feels it me hard)

NicoxFem!HarryxPercy (because what the hell)

Go wild with the rest of them!


This is my first challenge.

I really liked this idea but I, unfortunately, do not have time to write it and I didn't get really far in planning it. But the plot bunny stayed in my head and refused to go away, especially when I couldn't find anything like it (there might be one but the majority of them are 'demigods go to Hogwarts' stories so I wanted to change it up a bit).

I'm throwing this idea out for anyone who wants it. PM me so I can check it out.
