Harry did not understand why his mummy was crying but he decided there and then to try and always make her smile. He put on a brave face despite being nervous. He was dressed in greek attire Hestia had chosen to dress him in the traditional greek style clothing silk cloth held in place at the shoulder with a belt around his waist and sandals at his feet. On his arms he had armbands made from greek fire and were green. Two were on his fore arms and one on his right hand although that one was made from the fire of the hearth. His hair was curled but left loose down his back.

Harry giggled when he saw himself in the mirror before turning to his mum and saying "Mummy you know I'm a boy right?"

Smiling Hestia replied "Yes I know sweethaeart."

Harry "Then why am I wearing a dress?"

Hestia "Still smiling said "That is not a dress sweetheart that is called a Chiton. The old traditional greek dressing. If you do not like it we can find something else to wear, although you will not be the only one dressed like this your uncle Apollo and Hermes are going to be there as well they will be similarly dressed as will I."

Seeming to think on it Harry decided not to make a fuss "Okay mummy. I will wear this then."

Hestia smiled, she too was wearing something similar to Harry although hers was much longer. There was going to be a smaller version of the Olympic games with just demigods participating. Quite a few of the minor gods and goddesses were going to be there. She knew some of them were taking this as a chance to actually meet their children. This was one of the reasons why she was so happy that Harry was immortal. She would not need to scrounge for an opening just to say a few words to her child. She could raise him.

Arriving at camp half blood Hestia was shocked to find that the festivities had been canceled. Granted she had not seen her brothers since the winter solstice she was not aware of what was going on. She went to the big house to speak to Chiron and Dionysus after telling Harry he could explore if he wanted to and one of he camp's sayters had agreed to keep an eye on him and show him around.

Harry was smiling and chatting a mile a minute to the sayter whose name turned out to be Grover. He asked a lot of questions about the cabins and everything he could see. Grover did his best to keep up with him but Harry was used to his mother and the other gods' ability to do so and didn't slow down. He was standing by a river of lava giggling at the panting sayter when Grover caught up to him and to the Grover's horror he jumped into the river of lava before he could stop him. The other demi gods who had been training stopped to look on in horror. There was a lot of shouting and Grover panicking over the incident getting lady Hestia's child killed within the first five minutes he had him. Hestia had heard all the commotion and appeared right next to Grover Dionysus was not far behind bringing Chiron with him.

Grover was now on the ground bleeting out "Oh my lady, He just jumped in. I didn't know he would do that..." He stopped panicking when he noticed Hestia laughing.

She turned to the river and said "Harry, you come out of there at once. Giving these poor people a heart attack, you should be ashamed of yourself young man."

Harry knew she wasn't truly upset if the laughter in her voice was anything to go by. He swam back to the surface with a huge smile on his face and said to Grover "Got ya!"

Grover's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fainted dropping down like a sack of potatoes. Hestia pulled Harry out of the lava and said "Oh sweetheart, was that really necessary? Look at poor Grover."

Harry felt a little bad for frightening the sayter like that and apologized. it was then he noticed something that had him blushing like mad and jumping out of his mother's arms and back into the lava shouting "I'm naked!" The only things that survived his impromptu swim were the armbands on his arms, but then again they were forged out of fire. His mother conjured a new chiton and sandals for him. By then everyone who had gathered around due to the commotion was laughing.

After getting dressed and reviving Grover to whom Harry apologized but did go on to say he should have known he would be fine considering who his mother was. The prescheduled games had been canceled so the camp was going to do its traditional capture the flag. Harry hoped his mum would let him play. It was while was begging his mum to allow him to play when he met his uncle Percy. They were at the training grounds watching the demi gods train when his mum said pointing at a boy with short messy black hair and sea green eyes. "There is your uncle Percy. Why don't you go say hi."

Despite his young age Harry knew his mum was trying to distract him even if it did work. He would just have to keep asking later. He walked towards is uncle with a smile and shouted "Hi uncle Percy!"

Unfortunatley for Percy he was in the middle of a sword fight with another demigod who took advantage of his loss of concerntration and kicked his feet from under him making him hit the ground with a thud. A pained moan came out of him when he saw the sword now pointing at his chest and his sparring partner say "You're dead."

He closed his eyes for a second and when he opened them again he screamed as he saw a set of eyes with sea green flames instead of pupils staring right at him, a couple of inches away from his face. His reaction had him raise his head butting the owner of those eyes and both of them went down. Harry for his part didn't even make a sound of pain. He giggled at Percy who was now rubbing his head to alleviate the pan. He didn't even acknowledge the bump that was forming on his own head. Sitting up Percy looked at the kid. He was small maybe four or five long dark curly hair that reached his shoulders and dressed in greek clothes, it was his eyes that had Percy speechless. the only time he saw eyes that unusual was when Mr D was angry with him and somehow showed him how many ways he could kill him.

Percy "Uh hi!"

Still smiling Harry said "Hi uncle Percy. Sorry I shouted and made you lose but I wanted to meet you. Mummy and granddad said you would be here."

Percy smiled at the kid and said "Oh don't worry about that I would have lost anyway, I've only just started to learn fighting with a sword. Why did you call me uncle?"

Harry "Cause you're my uncle silly. Grandad said you're his son so that makes you my uncle."

Percy didn't know who his godly father was and here was a kid who knew. "Your granddad?"

Harry covered his mouth and stage whispered loudly "Oops, granddad said not to say anything and he would tell you himself. I hope he won't be mad at me. If he is I'll hide behind mummy or grandpa or grandfather."

Percy. "Ok you don't have to tell me, do you know who your mummy is?"

Nodding Harry said pointing at lady Hestia who was in a conversation with Apollo "yup she is over there..." Upon noticing one of his favorite uncles Harry jumped up ran up to him and said "uncle Apollo when did you get here?"

Lifting him up Apollo said "I just arrived my little munchkin, your mum told me you played a prank and almost gave a poor sayter a heart attack."

Harry laughed with his uncle as he defended himself "It was his own fault. He knows who my mum is he should have known fire won't hurt me although I did end up losing my clothes."

Harry wriggled himself down from Apollo's arms and ran back to Percy and said "Do you want to play with me uncle Percy? We can go swimming of kayaking or I can ask mummy to bring Hedwig and we can play with her."

Still a little overwhelmed at the energetic child Percy agreed. They decided on kayaking and Harry told his mum where he was going. She told him it was okay and if he needed her to just call for her even if he can't see her.

Walking while holding Percy's hand as they made their way to the water they ran into a bit of trouble with one of the Ares kids. She walked right up Percy and said "well, well, well punk looks like we have another newbie. Where did you get this one corpse breathe. Isn't she a little too diddy to play with the big kids." The girl turned to Harry and said "Run back home to mummy little girl..." Harry cut her off and said "I'm not a girl and my mummy is here. Lets see how big and tough you think you are when you face her." Harry had been forbidden by his mum to use his powers as he was not quite able to control them without help yet. They usually tired him out and she was afraid he would harm himself.

Percy by then was trying to diffuse the situation "Clarisse, stop. The kid is off limits, trust me on that one."

Clarisse sneered and said "Off limit? and who would be the one declaring him off limit. You know we have an initiation prissy. Just because you manged to avoid yours does not mean everyone else will."

Clarisse grabbed Harry by the hair and he screamed "Mummy!"

Percy felt like his ear drums were gonna burst. Even Clarisse had to let him go to cover her ears. She jumped out of the way as a burst of fire appeared right next Percy and the kid and to her horror watched as Lady Hestia walk out of the fire and the kid jumped into her arms.

"Mummy she pulled my hair and said something about inishi shi I can't say that word."

Hestia's glare was turned on Clarisse who had attempted to bully her son and was now shaking in fright. She looked at the goddess who was now holding the little kid she had attempted to bully, while beginning to wish she had listened to Jackson when he tried to warn her. honestly she assumed he was making it up to make an idiot out had of her and now she had angered a goddess. It was now that she looked really looked at the kid and she could sense the power rolling off him. This kid was not a demi god. Is it possible he was a godling? She knew Hestia was a goddess who most likely would never condone never being able to see her child or help her child but she would be able to if he was not mortal.

Hestia didn't even let Clarisse speak, instead she said to her "Until you are rid of your bullying ways you will never be comfortable by the hearth and until further notice for touching my child with intent to harm him you will have to endure the pain of your wounds until they heal naturally no amount of nectar and ambrosia will heal them."

She turned to Percy and said "Thank you for keeping him company Percy but I think he has had enough excitement for one day. I will bring him to visit if you wish it and you can get to know each other."

Percy only nodded now disappointed that he wouldn't get to spend some time with Harry, despite only just meeting him he was beginning to feel quite fond of the little guy. He would just have to remember to never buy sweets for the little guy he was quite hyper without them.

Before she flashed out a panicked Clarisse spoke "Please wait, I'm sorry. I didn't know he was your son and ..."

Hestia cut her off "...and you think that makes it ok? So in your mind if Harry was not my child it would be okay for you to bully him?. Grow up you over grown prissy, always trying to make yourself feel good by kicking down those who cannot defend themselves. Your father I'm pretty sure is ashamed of you. Even he does not bully someone with out the means of protecting themselves."

She left an ashamed daughter of Ares thinking about ways to change and still gain her father's respect. She didn't even look at Percy s she walked away from him.
