This was my first story, but I removed it from the site. This is a revised version and the full version. I am sorry if you read the original and have to read some parts over again. Hope you enjoy the first chapter of many in Mare Naomi Potter's story. Oh and please review or PM me about what you think of the story and anything I should add.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything besides the idea of PureHalfBloods and the people and things I create, locations and everything else are from the amazing minds of J.K. Rowling and Rick Riorden. (and obviously Greek mythology) P.S. I haven't read The Cursed Child.
James Sirius Potter's P.O.V
Last year was my last year at Hogwarts. I was off to the Ministry with my father to check out job options. The fact that people were staring at my father bothered me. Me and my siblings always questioned him and my mother on this yet they would never tell us. I learned from people at school that he was famous, but no one told me why. My father, Harry Potter, was a Auruor(Is this spelt correctly). I didn't necessarily want to be that I wanted to explore the world, do something exciting maybe something with dragons like my uncle Charlie.
"Father I know I keep asking and you never tell me, but why does everyone always stare at you or congratulate you were ever we go... anywhere?" I asked for about the billionth time in my life. He sighed and looked at me, "I guess you are old enough, we just kept it a secret from you because well me and your mother didn't want you to get stressed or downgraded because of what happened." My father said as he put a finger on is lightning shaped scar.
"So…" I said and he chuckled.
"When I was younger then you were well let's just say I am the reason you know who didn't completely destroy Hogwarts." He said and I couldn't believe it I have heard the stories about Voldemort waging some sort of war against well everyone that wasn't on his side. They said that a kid defeated him, but with great losses.
"Did you help the kid everyone said who defeated you know who?" I asked and he laughed and pulled out his wand and handed it to me. I have never looked at it closely before and when I did I realized it was the elder wand. It took me a while, but it finally clicked. My father wasn't a person who helped the boy he was the boy who lived.
A few years after that I started working in Romania were my uncle used to work. I loved it there, I was (in my opinion) officially an adult…. -ish. I admit I did miss my parents and siblings, but I liked taking chances after all I am an, I stopped mid thought to correct myself, I was a Gryffindor. I was sitting on a park bench staring out blankly, so focused on my thoughts. I looked to my right and I realized that sitting right next to me (I don't know for how long) was a beautiful girl that didn't look older then her twenties. She had blonde hair flowing down in curves and was wearing a pink short sun dress. She looked like she was in deep thought. I stared at her for a little bit before I said, "Hi I'm James, don't mean to be rude, but who are you and how long have you been sitting right next to me?" I asked thinking to myself how I could have made an even worse introduction. I hoped she wasn't listening to me, but I knew she heard me when she flipped her hair as she turned to face me. She was beautiful with eyes that seem to switch colors in the sunlight. She wore make up that was perfect and she looked perfect.
The beautiful woman said, "Ohh sorry forgot to introduce myself, just call me Aphrodite."(Now you see where I am going with the half god half wizard thing right, probably not) she winked at me and then continued, "Don't worry I haven't been sitting here long."
"Ohh okay." I said then I realized she spoke English without a weird accent though I could tell she was American. "Are you from here or…" I said hoping for her to finish the sentence which she did.
"I am from America, and let me guess you are from England." She said. I was still staring at her because I couldn't get over how pretty she is. "Is there something on my face." She said grabbing a compact mirror from her purse and looking at her face.
"No, I just think you are gorgeous." I said in my head until she blushes.
"Thank you. You're not so bad yourself." Aphrodite responded. Did I really say that out loud? I started to blush from embarrassment and the compliment.
(A few months later)
I was holding hands with Aphrodite as we walked to the park bench where we met. We sat down I ran my fingers through her hair and kissed her before we sat down. What happened after was weird, but not that weird yet it was still heart breaking.
"Listen James I have to leave." Aphrodite said. Then before I could respond. in a flash of light, she was gone, where she sat there still lingered the smell of her perfume. I wanted to ask why, but the was the last time I saw her.
I walked back to my house crying. All the thoughts racing through my head as to why she just left with no explanation. Was it me? Did I make her want to leave? That I would never figure out. Wait a second she apparated away so maybe she will some back.
(10 months later)
Months past and I came to the conclusion that Aphrodite will never come back. I was reading through some spell books, when my doorbell rang. I hurried over to the door and when I opened it up no one was there I closed the door again and right as I did I heard crying. So I reopened the door and looked down to see a baby wrapped in a pink blanket in a golden basket with a letter sitting on top of the crying child's chest. I picked up the basket with the baby inside and brought it onto the dining room table. I opened the letter and read,
Dear James,
This here is Mare her birthday was last month on August 10. She is your daughter I cannot take care of her so you must. When she turns twelve or at the beginning of the summer of her 12thbirthday please send her to Camp Half Blood in Long Island, New York. Don't be worried if she runs away it is normal.
Love, Aphrodite
And that was all I ever got on the back ground information on my daughter. The last sentenced confused me, but it is not like the letter had an address on it. I was going to move back to Europe soon anyway because of a job offer there so I may as well train Mare to be a wizard. I still didn't know anything about this camp Half Blood she wanted me to send my daughter to. Is it like a camp for children who have one wizard parent and the other mortal, but I was pretty sure Aphrodite is a wizard, though I don't know for sure.

Mare's P.O.V.
I was sitting at a table with the lights turned down. I looked to my side to see my dad walk in with a cake with eleven lit candles sticking out of the top. Uncle Albus was standing next to me and Aunt Lily was with my grandparents. My dad placed the cake in front of me and asked for me to make a wish. I thought about this and I knew exactly what I was going to wish for. After everyone finished singing as I blew out the candles in my head I said, "I want to meet my mom." Everyone cheered and my dad kissed me on my cheek.
Not long after my party as me and my father were eating dinner an owl that wasn't Sprouts, my owl I got for my eleventh birthday, swooped over my head and set a letter drifting down towards me. I grabbed the letter out of the air I was so excited when I saw the Hogwarts stamp on the front. My father said, "It's about time that letter came. Go on open it and read it." I quickly, but carefully opened it wanting to preserve the outside so that I could frame it. I got the train ticket and the list of things I needed. "We might want to take a trip to Diagon Alley." I said brushing my blonde hair out of my blue eyes which was weird because my father had neither of those features. My father nodded in agreement and said," We'll go tomorrow."
The next morning, I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair into a ponytail. I was wearing a blue t-shirt with jean shorts. I had never been to Diagon Alley before. When we got there I was amazed at how many wizards there were and all the different shops. I spoke the list out loud one by one and we went and bought everything from a wand to school robes.
Yeah so here is the first chapter. I added more then I thought. Please review about how you think it is going so far.
