Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. All I own is my rotten and boring imagination and plot. So yay!

A/N: Starts after DH and HoO. Trails of Apollo never happened. Pairings: Percy/Annabeth; Jason/Piper; Frank/Hazel; Leo/Calypso; Harry/Hermione.

CHAPTER4

All of the people in the room waited in daze for Rachel to gain consciousness. Harry observed the reactions of everyone in the room. Percy had gone white and was muttering under his breath about 'unfair' and 'bitchy prophecies'. Hazel just stood there stunned and shaken. Clarisse war glaring at Rachel as it was her fault. Clovis was still drooling on the table in sleep.

Piper was looking at Rachel, concerned and kept throwing glances at Jason. Jason, himself just stood in a daze. Hazel and Frank were helping Rachel. The Roman girl was the only one able to keep her cool and was looking at Chiron. Chiron had gone pale and only Mr. D was the only one who was unaffected by all that was happening around. Annabeth and Hermione had almost the same reaction. Both seemed to be trying to decipher the prophecy.

As for Harry, he was just ranting inside his head about prophecies being a royal pain in the arse.

Everyone came out of daze as Hermione raised a question "What did she mean by the 'Heroes of Olympus'?"

Chiron sighed and said in a tired voice "There was a war a year ago which was won only because of the combined efforts of demigods of both Greek and roman Camps. There were hailed as the Heroes of Olympus for their bravery and efforts. Actually, the seven of them are present here."

Harry and Hermione looked at everyone and The Seven sighed and raise their heads. Percy, Jason, Annabeth, Frank, Piper, Hazel and Leo.

"And who is the Ghost King?" asked Harry.

"That would be me." said a fifteen year old kid with a black sword at his side. Harry had to stop himself from shivering because of the dark and brooding aura that was nearly oozing out of the boy.

"And who are the two 'magicals who cheated death'?" asked Annabeth and looked at Harry and Hermione.

Everyone perked up, even Rachel who had just gained consciousness and was looking at the two of them for answers.

The duo's face tightened and Harry said in a curtly "That would be both of us."

"But how-

"That is none of your business."Harry silenced her with a glare.

But, apparently not all of them received the message and Percy rose in Annabeth defense while Nico said in a dangerous voice "Yes. Yes, it is as I am the son of Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Death is his Lieutenant and no mortal even with some magic would be able to cheat him. So, what did you do?" The last part was asked in a whisper with an edge to the voice and a glare to match.

Hermione's face paled but Harry matched his glare and spoke in a calm, cold voice "You don't know what a wizard or witch is capable of. And as I said before how or what happened is not something we are willing to share with anyone. You can threaten as much as you want and yet you would gain nothing but an angry wizard for an enemy."

Mr. D snorted in his drink while Chiron said in a calm voice "Children, calm down your tempers and sit down."

No one moved an inch and Harry and Nico faces were just inches apart.

Finally, Chiron snapped "Enough. You will all sit down and keep your tempers in check or you will be thrown out of here."

It seemed this was a rare situation as even Mr. D looked at the man in the wheelchair in surprise.

Chiron sighed "This is not time for fighting on issues that do not concern us. We have got more serious matter at hand and should look into those. It is clear that the ten of you will be the ones to determine our future. Do remember that either this we would fall in darkness or you could keep us out of it."

Hermione asked the question that was on Harry's mind as well "How do we even know it is a genuine prophecy?"

Rachel looked offended at the accusation and was going to retort but Chiron interrupted her "That was the Oracle of Delphi and she was chosen by Lord Apollo himself. I guess that would be enough proof?"

Hermione just pursed her lips.

"How do we even trust these two and why do we even need them. They might be spies for the enemies."Clarisse said with a sneer in their direction.

The Roman, Reyna said with a sigh "Clarisse, the prophecy clearly stated that we would need their help and they do know how to fight these new kinds of monsters. As far as I remember they were also looking for the cause of this. So I hardly doubt that they are spies and anyways, who is our enemy?"

Everyone thought about this till Jason interrupted "But, what are we supposed to do? We don't even know each other properly to even go on a quest. We can't just trust them unconditionally and fight battles."

"Well, you are not the only one. We just get to know that Gods and Demigods are real and then suddenly there is prophecy about us that predicts the end of world and you expect us to help you just like that?" asked Hermione irritably.

"Hey-

Chiron slammed his hands and table and looked at everyone sternly "Stop this childish behavior. Do you think this is all a joke? Let me remind you that we have to fight monsters not just from one but two worlds. You either learn to trust each other and do your best to save the world or you could just sit here looking at each other or do nothing. Do remember the prophecy. You ten would either save us or keep us away from the darkness or you would be the ones to engulf us in darkness. So, think over it and decide because the weight of the world rest on your shoulders."

With that he got out of his wheelchair and hi hooves out and he galloped out of the room. The angry voice of the calm centaur had put everyone in a trance and stood there gawking at the door with their mouths open.

Mr. D brought them out of trance "Now, that's what I call a performance. I would give it a rating of 3 out of 5, even if it provided only mediocre entertainment."With that he stood and went out.

"Um... I am sorry for my words"

"Yeah, I should not have said that."

"I owe you an apology."

"I too should not have said that about the prophecy and all that trust issue."

There was a string of apologies and Harry noticed that everyone in the room was looking at him expectantly, who still had his jaw hanging and just blurted out "Merlin's beard, he is a centaur!?...

(Collective sigh)

A/N:I would be posting the next chapter within a day and I can promise that there would be action in it. I just had to get this scene done and hope it would not come very bad. Please review. Thanks for reading.
