Chapter two is here, things get revealed, gods get surprised :D Here I give a personal shoutout to The Twelve Olympians! My very first review! I've also made some changes to chapter one if you read it before it changed. It might be more understandable. -Natalie
Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. If I did, I would have tons of fans and be very rich. But since I don't, please enjoy this fanfiction which ignores J.K Rowling and Rick Riordan's work.
Venue: Library (Little bit of Ravenclaw Tower)
Time: Early Evening - 9:00
Percy ran up the corridor stairs to the Ravenclaw dormitory. The glow of the moon lid up his face. He was grinning. Annabeth, curled up in a sofa reading a book called 'The 1800s Buildings' looked at him like he was crazy. She raised an eyebrow. "Percy! What took you? It's like, nine and Thalia is freaking out! What's with the smile?"
It all started in the library. Ginny was leading Percy in a little deserted corner, smiling. It was after dinner.
"Hello Percy," She started breathlessly. "I"m trying hard not to be nosy, but I've noticed something different about you. For the past few months since you and your other two friends came to Hogwarts, there was... a lot of gossip about you three. Not that you've haven't seen. I know that a lot of people tease you just because you aren't a wizard, but… I think there's something more than that. Something powerful. Am I..." She tried again. "Am I correct?"
Percy stared. This was very heartwarming. She still remembers his name! "Yeah, I suppose you're right." And, without hesitating, he told everything to her, about the gods, being demigods and such. Percy, tired but excited, and Ginny, who was fascinated about the world behind them, didn't notice the time slowly slipping through. When he finished, there was a silence, suddenly broken by a flash of light.
Ginny gasped. The light was replaced by a tall, muscular man with blue eyes. There was an air of ozone around him. This must be Zeus, as Percy scanned his master bolt in his hand. He had been wrongly accused of stealing it once. Seeing the bolt again just makes him shiver. Zeus looked very angry.
"Perseus Jackson! How very dare you share our secrets to a mortal!" he boomed. Ginny backed away, but Percy pulled her in front of him.
"I, I-" Ginny stammered. Percy covered her mouth.
"Hush Ginny. This is the king of the gods, Zeus. You won't like him angry. Oh and only me and you can see him, so don't worry." With that, he turned to the god of thunder.
"Uncle, she is not a regular mortal being. She is a witch, with a family of them too. They are very common around here. Forgive me."
"A witch? Do not lie to me, son."
"Uncle, believe me, she is. This library we are in right now is a wizarding school itself, it's called Hogwarts. Ginny, show the Lord a Freezing Charm"
Ginny nodded meekly and took out her wand from her pocket. Zeus looked curiously at the wand, like he was a little kid looking at a toy shop. She said "Immobulus" calmly, and the moth flying between Zeus and Percy froze in mid air.
Zeus looked at Percy for some kind of explanation. "What… How is this… Nephew, do what you must with your girlfriend, I… I'm going to host a council right now at Olympus immediately. I have to talk to Poseidon about this…" He turned red in the face.
"Behave yourself, child." He said. Then, there was a burst of light. Percy's heart lurched. "Don't look!" he shouted, "Zeus is showing his true form!" He could hear Ginny scrambling to shield her eyes and he did the same to his. Some seconds passed and Percy opened his eyes to check. The god was gone.
He let his eyes cool down in the dark surroundings. He gently tapped Ginny in the shoulder, and she took out her hands too and let out a sigh of relief. "Boy, that was crazy," She smiled weakly, "I guess you weren't lying after all."
Percy smiled back at her. She was so nice. "Yeah. You want to see my powers?"
"Oh yes!" Ginny's eyes widen, making her more beautiful, the moonlight bathing her face.
He thought about water in his head. Swimming pool. Amazon river. Vitamin water. And suddenly, water from the nearby frog spawn was summoned into his hand as a ball. Ginny looked at him in awe. "This is better than magic," she said simply. With that, she leaned forward and kissed him in the cheek.
Percy turned very red, and felt dizzy. That was real magic. At that perfect moment, a shadow crossed the corner.
"Ah! Trying to sneak in, are you two? Eh? The library is closed now! Return to your dormitories at once!" Madam Pince said hotly.
"Tomorrow, same time same place," Ginny cried.
Percy had the best night's sleep he'd ever had in years.
