Prologue:
Olympus (present):
The 12 Olympians sat on their thrones, waiting to see why they were called together on such a short notice. While the gods waited for their 'special guest' they kept to themselves.
Aphrodite was on her throne, applying makeup and looking at her reflection. Hermes was having a conversation with his snakes, George and Martha. Athena was arguing with Poseidon, again. Ares was sharpening a spear while staring at Aphrodite. Hera was arguing with Zeus. Hephaestus was building some trinket of his while glaring at Ares. Dionysus was making vines grow around his throne while reading a wine magazine. Apollo was listening to music on his iPod, bobbing his head in time with the music while Artemis was shouting at him. And Demeter was eating cereal. Hades was also there, as he was requested to come for some unknown reason. He just sat in the corner watching his messed up family and trying to ignore Demeter as she told him to eat more cereal and yelled at him for holding her daughter 'captive'.
They were interrupted when a young woman, around twenty, came through the doors to the throne room. She had long wavy brown hair, glowing green eyes and was rather thin. She wore emerald green robes and held a stick in her hand. One by one, all the gods turned to her.
"Lady Hecate, if I may ask, was it you that requested this, ah, meeting?" Poseidon asked the new comer.
Hecate nodded. "Yes, and I have come for your help. As you are all aware, I have my own little 'pet world' full of witches and wizards. A few years back there was a war against a dark wizard named Voldemort. Apollo are you listing?" Apollo kept bobbing his head to the music.
Artemis ripped the ear phones out of his ears. "Are you even listening?!" She yelled.
Apollo looked at Hecate. "Yeah, yeah, dark wizard, war, quest. As the god of prophesies I know how this is going to turn out. Now can I please go back to my music?" Without waiting for a response he put the ear buds back into place. Hecate snapped her fingers and the iPod turned into a snake. Apollo shrieked and threw the snake off his lap. "Are you crazy?!" He yelled at the goddess of magic. She ignored him.
"Now, as I was saying, there was a dark wizard who went around killing not only witches and wizards, but Muggles, or mortals without magic, as well. Every witch and wizard feared him. One night, he went to kill a very special boy named Harry Potter. He killed the young child's parents with a flick of his wand but couldn't kill baby Harry. This is because his mother died for him, therefore, no one could harm him until he was 17-"
"Yeah, that's a lovely story Hecate, but when do we get to the war?" Ares asked.
"Soon. Now, Voldemort planed his revenge for 10 years until he got the chance to attack the boy. However, he was weak and only frightened him. Years ago, he came back. In 1998, there was a war. Sadly, my faithful wizards lost. Voldemort managed to kill Harry and is now ruler of the wizarding world."
"Well that stinks for them and all but how does this involve us?" Dionysus asked, bored, from his throne.
"It involves us because he is sending an army to the two camps. He will then come for us."
"No big deal. We can handle this guy! We'll squash him like a bug!" Ares yelled.
"Usually yes, we could. But this wizard is very powerful. He can kill the demigods with a wave of his hand, control them and make them do whatever he wants for however long he wants, and can torture them, and us might I add, until driven mad. We need to stop this before it even begins."
"And how might we do that?" Hades asked grimly.
"Easy, we will send a powerful demigod back in time to help them with the war." Hecate replied.
"And who will we send?" Zeus asked dully, as though he had more important things to do then discus the fate of the whole world.
"We need to send someone powerful, someone who can take down half an army with a wave of their hand. AND someone who won't be missed."
Hades paled. "You don't mean..."
Hecate nodded. "Yes. Him."
Poseidon sat foreword, a worried expression on his face. "Are you sure we should send him? Why not Jason or Hazel?"
Hecate shook her head. "No, it needs to be him."
Hades swallowed. "How long will he be gone?" Hades asked.
"I'm thinking of having him be the same age as Harry. I considered sending him right before the war but if we do that they will think he is a spy and won't accept his help. I came to one conclusion: he needs to grow up with Harry Potter."
Hades paled even more. "How old will he be?"
"He will be around 5 when they meet."
Hades nodded. "When will he come back?"
"When he is 18."
"WHAT?!" Hades yelled. He jumped out of his guest throne. "You expect him to be gone that long?! His childhood is messed up enough as it is! Plus, they just finished the Titan War! I understand he doesn't have much of a childhood now but by the time he comes back it will be gone!"
Hecate sighed. "There is no other way Lord Hades. And I thought you didn't care about him?" Hades didn't say anything. Hecate continued.
"Here's the plan: we send him back in time, to 1985, and leave him at the Dursley's. I will convince them to take him in. He will become very close to young Harry, his only friend until he is 11. They will go to Hogwarts together and will go through everything together. They will be like brothers. When the war comes, they will be ready."
"What if he knows who he is? He will not do it." Athena pointed out.
"You are correct. Therefore, we will wipe his memory. He will think his parents died when he was young and that he ran away from a foster home or something. I will also bless him with magic so he will blend in. And don't worry Hades, only a few months will pass here, four exactly, while he is there. When he returns, he will be the same, just with more knowledge." Hecate reassured. Hades nodded.
"Fine. Can I at least contact him from time to time?"
Hecate nodded. "You may give him advice on how to control his powers and how to deal with hard decisions. Lady Athena, you may also help him in times of need."
"When does he leave?" Hades asked.
Hecate smiled. "Now."
