Chapter 1: Meeting of the Gods

2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was born. With his arrival, the old gods of Greece left the Earth, never to be seen again. However, they continued to rule the fate of mortals. In their divine home, they were furiously discussing the great Wizarding War that was about to unfold.

"Blasted annoying mortals! Why don't we just get rid of them now and have it over with!" The sea god Poseidon asked his brother Zeus.

"You forget, Poseidon, that we need mortals as much as they need us." Zeus told him. "Now the two sides in this war are the Dark Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters and..."

"Dark Lord!" the war god Ares interrupted. "Ha! There hasn't been a Dark Lord since the Third Age of Middle-Earth. He was named Sauron, if I remember correctly. We had to rearrange the entire planet to what it is today thanks to him. Now this human upstart thinks he is worthy of the title. The only one here that is worthy of that title is Hades."

"Watch your tougue, Ares!" Hades hissed. "I did not come here to be insulted!"

"As I was saying," Zeus continued, glaring at Ares and Hades who both immediately shut up, " the two sides in this war are the Dark Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters and of course, my favorite among mortals, Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix."

"Dumbledore won't be able to win this war, Zeus," the goddess of Wisdom, Athena, told him, "especially with all the bickering going on with the English Ministry of Magic."

"And Harry Potter is still in school, entering his fourth year." Hera, Zeus' wife, continued, "He is not yet ready to fight Voldemort head on."

"You're saying we need to delay the war or slow it down in any way, Hera?" Zeus guessed.

"Exactly!" Hera replied.

"What about Astyanax of Troy?" Apollo asked.

"The last of our worshipers?" Hades asked.

"Ever since the Trojan War, Astyanax has been wondering the Earth aimlessly." Apollo explained. "What if he could of some use in this war?"

"He could be used to fight Voldemort until Harry is ready." Hera said. "He has fought alongside many great military leaders too. Hannibal Barca of Carthage, Gaius Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great of Macedon, even Napoleon Bonaparte. He knows many of their tactics and he is a very accomplished swordsman like his father."

"Never mention Hector of Troy in my presence!" Athena shouted.

"Best of all, Voldemort does not know he exists." Ares added.

"I agree with Apollo and Hera, Zeus." Hades said.

"Alright, let us vote. Show of hands to use Astyanax." Zeus told everyone.

Everyone but Athena and Poseidon rose their hands in agreement.

"Alright, majority rules." Zeus said delightfully. "Now, where is Astyanax at the present time?

He clapped his hands and a huge map of the world appeared on the table. This map was much like Harry Potter's Marauder's Map, except it viewed the entire world instead of just Hogwarts, showing billions of small dots.

"Astyanax of Troy." Zeus said.

One of the dots turned red.

"Ah, there he is!" Zeus shouted, causing some of the gods to jump. "He is in Albania."

"Wait a minute." Athena said curiously. "Bertha Jorkins."

Another dot turned red, very close to the first.

"Perfect." Athena said triumphantly.

"Indeed, Athena." Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, said. "Bertha Jorkins works for the English Ministry of Magic, in the Department of Magical Games and Sports."

"I must check something." Zeus said another name. "Voldemort. Oh no."

"What's the matter?" Hades asked him.

"He is also in Albania." Zeus explained. "This could prove problematic."

"Let the war begin." Ares said grimly.
