Chapter 4
The True Definition of a Dysfunctional Family
The six of them were lead to the beautiful stateroom at javelin point. Harry knew with the six of them there they could have easily have fought back and most likely won but Harry thought that they were thinking like Harry was. They needed to talk to Luke – for Hermes and for themselves – which they could not do if they were fighting with Luke so they allowed themselves to be lead to the stateroom.
Harry thought that it could have been beautiful. There was huge curved windows showing them the green sea and blue sky that stretched all the way to the Horizon. However, the view was spoiled by a three-metre long golden casket.
Harry hissed knowing what this casket had to be. How had they missed that Kronos had been taken? Did his father know? If he didn't how couldn't he have known? If he had then why in Hades hadn't he told Harry?
Then Harry remembered that Kronos had been cast into Tartarus where even Hades had little power in. If the primordial being Tartarus had sided with Kronos he could have easily kept it from Hades. It was likely as the primordial beings were more closely related to the Titans than the gods but it filled Harry with fear if the primordial beings sided with Kronos it would not be pleasant should Kronos do as intended and return to full power.
Harry could feel the coldness in the room which was amazing because Harry had never really felt the cold due to being a child of the Underworld. Harry didn't even know why this made him feel so cold. Whatever Kronos was doing must be bad for a child of the Underworld to be affected by it.
'Well,' Luke said proudly. 'A little nicer than Cabin Eleven, huh?'
'I'd rather be overcrowded in Hermes cabin than betray my friends,' Eve said with a growl in her voice.
Luke did not answer what Eve had said. Harry hoped it was because they were getting through to him but suspected he didn't care which made Harry angrier at Luke than he had been all year which was saying something. Luke may have originally joined Kronos out of anger and pain and betrayal but last year's poisoning of someone who thought him a friend proved that he wasn't who he used to be which hurt because Harry remembered when Luke was like an older brother to Harry.
Luke looked so similar yet so different from the Luke Harry had grown up with showing Harry how much the boy Harry had once seen as family had changed. He still had the scar from battling the dragon that Luke had never really gotten over. Still had the same sandy hair and upturned eyebrows but he had lost the orange Camp Half-Blood top and Bermuda shorts. Now Luke wore the most fashionable sea-faring clothes money could buy but it wasn't the clothes that had changed but the boy in them.
Harry could see that he wasn't the only one who had this thought. Annabeth who had been in love with Luke since as long as Harry could remember was looking at him like she wasn't sure what to say or do. Knowing Annabeth it would probably be strangling him.
Harry couldn't see any weapons on the son of Hermes but he knew that no demigod went anywhere without weapons even one who had betrayed what it meant to be a demigod Harry thought bitterly. Harry spotted it leaning against the sofa completely casually. Harry shivered at the steel and bronze glinting in the light of the summer sun that looked so wrong. Luke had once been a hero now he had a weapon that could be used to murder mortals!
'Sit,' Luke said calmly and coolly.
There was no evidence of the friendship that they had once shared in Luke's voice or face. It was like Luke was talking to people Luke barely knew not those who were close to him. Harry felt the anger and betrayal Luke had caused flare in him once again.
As Luke spoke he waved his hand and six chairs came flying towards him. Harry was shocked at this as far as he was aware Luke was not a wizard so when had he developed the ability to summon chairs or telekinetically move chairs. Harry glanced at the casket wondering yet again what Kronos was doing to the boy who was once their friend.
Naturally all six of them ignored the boy not trusting the boy they would have once given their life for. Harry knew that he couldn't trust a word that came out of any son of Hermes mouth especially this son of Hermes mouth. How long had he been planning this? How long had he known when Percy was being hunted for both the Lightening Bolt and the Helm?
'Where are my manners?' asked Luke calmly.
'Probably with your conscience,' Cat scowled glaring darkly at their once friend.
Luke smiled a cold dead smile at that, 'these are my assistants, Agrius and Oreius.'
Harry had heard of the half bears of course which explained why they were humanoid but larger and harrier than any human had any right being. Being a young demigod best friends with a daughter of Athena meant that they spent a lot of time studying Ancient Greek stories. Harry knew what Aphrodite had done to their mother and what they were.
Harry could understand why they were on Kronos' side. Anyone who was an immortal half human and half bear would be outcast in all circles even with demigods who were half god. Their hatred of the gods would be great and as their intelligence would more than likely be not quite human they wouldn't care or realise they were just being used.
'Perhaps you've heard of them,' Luke said coolly.
'Of course we have,' Harry snapped glaring at the boy with his Death Glare which should have caused him to shudder but Luke didn't react at all probably used to dark Auras from his time with monsters and Kronos. 'You were there when we learned about it! Or have you forgotten about the years of friendship now you have your new master?' Harry finished with a sneer glaring at the boy.
Luke smiled and icy smile devoid of the emotion that should have been there when speaking to an old friend, 'I believe I was talking to Perseus, son of Hades.'
Harry wasn't surprised that Luke knew about his parentage. The whole Camp knew and Harry wasn't surprised that Luke had spies there. It wasn't like there was a lack of demigods who hated the gods who had abandoned them in Camp Half Blood.
Then there was Tantalus who would have every reason to want a change of governance. Tantalus would likely hope with a new leader he would be a new god instead of being tortured in the Underworld as was his current state. However, Harry was sure that Zeus wouldn't have let him come without proper restrictions so if he was able to turn spy for the Camp was a good question which Harry would love to have answered.
'Well it's sad really. Aphrodite ordered their mother to fall in love. She refused and ran to Artemis for help. Artemis let her become one of her maiden huntresses, but Aphrodite got her revenge. She bewitched the young woman into falling in love with a bear. When Artemis found out she abandoned the girl in disgust. Typical of the gods, wouldn't you say?'
'And your so much better,' Harry said icily still glaring at Luke. 'The gods aren't the only ones capable of abandoning and betraying humans. What do you think you're doing now!?' Harry demanded of him.
'The girl's twins' sons unlike you hold no love for Olympus,' Luke said once again brushing Harry's anger aside only causing Harry to get angrier and angrier with Luke. 'I would have thought you being a son of Hades would be in agreement considering how you and your father are treated.'
'I am not you,' Harry retorted with a low growl.
'For lunch,' growled Agrius suddenly.
Oreius had an asthmatic laughing fit at this point whilst licking his fur lined lips. Harry could tell that Oreius and Agrius obviously wanted to eat the demigods. Harry couldn't believe Luke had given up them for the bear twins.
'Shut up you idiot!' Agrius growled.
'You started it,' Cat pointed out.
'Shut up!' growled Agrius! 'Go punish yourself! You not her!' Agrius shouted when his twin didn't move.
Oreius whimpered looking like he would rather do anything else. The half bear trudged over to a stool where he plonked himself and began banging his head on the dining table. Harry couldn't help but think of Dobby the little slave Harry had failed to help but swore one day he would save him from the Malfoys although Harry had no idea how he would go about doing so.
Luke didn't even react telling Harry that this was every day behaviour. Harry wondered not for the first time where the young boy who had tried not to cry about Thalia's death and comfort a little distraught homeless seven year old had gone. How long had Luke been like this because Harry did not think it was possible to naturally change like this in so little time? Had there been anything they could have done to stop this!?
'Well, Percy, we let you live another year. I hope you appreciate it. How's your mother? How's your school?' Luke asked.
'You poisoned Thalia's tree,' Percy retorted anger in his voice.
'Right to the point,' sighed Luke. 'Okay sure I poisoned the tree. So what?'
'How could you?' Annabeth sounded like she wanted to murder Luke right there and then. 'Thalia saved your life! Our lives! How could you dishonour her-'Annabeth said desperately trying to reach the friend who was no longer there.
'I didn't dishonour her!' Luke snapped.
It was the first time that Harry had seen Luke react to anything or anyone. Harry suddenly saw something of the old Luke Castellan but Harry knew it wasn't enough if there was anything of the old Luke he wouldn't be threatening them like this but Luke despite anything still cared about Thalia. Why he didn't care about the rest of them Harry couldn't begin to understand. What had they done to hurt their friend so?
'You still care about her,' Harry said quietly but unforgivingly. 'How do you think she would feel if she were here?' Harry turned on him. 'She gave her life against monsters and you're siding with them? She gave her life for Annabeth and you'd be willing to kill her!' shouted Harry.
'If Thalia were alive she'd be on my side,' Luke declared.
'Liar!' shouted Annabeth with a catch in her throat telling Harry she was holding back tears.
'If you knew what was coming you'd understand-'Luke began.
Harry had a really bad feeling about that comment. What was coming? What was Luke or more accurately Kronos planning this time? Last time it had been World War III between the Big Three. It was bad enough when the children of the Big Three went to war Harry didn't want to think about what would happen if the actual gods went to war it would be a massacre.
'What are you planning?' Harry asked quietly. 'What's coming?'
'I understand you want to destroy the camp!' Annabeth yelled at the same time as Harry. 'You're a monster!' Annabeth cried sounding like she didn't want to believe the truth but knew it to be so.
Luke didn't even look at Harry but was concentrating on Annabeth who had been friends with him for a lot longer than any of them. Harry knew that Luke and Annabeth had went through so much together that they were a lot closer than Harry, Eve and Cat were to the two of them. Harry hadn't minded knowing the two of them had a lot of painful history that Harry couldn't hope and didn't want to understand.
'The gods have blinded you,' Luke said almost sadly to Annabeth.
'I think it is Kronos who has blinded you,' retorted Cat anger in her voice.
'Cat, I thought you of all people would understand,' Luke said softly.
'I understand that Kronos will make the world worse not better like you seem to think,' Cat retorted glaring at Luke with all her might as though hoping he would catch fire right then and there.
'Can't you imagine a world like them? What good is the Ancient History you study? Three thousand years of baggage! The West is rotten to the core. It has to be destroyed. We can start the world anew.'
'And how many people do you think will die for this so called better world to be born?' demanded Harry with anger. 'Do you know how many people have died already because of the poison!? Do you because I do! I felt it! I always feel it! People that you've known for years! Don't you care about them at all?'
Luke didn't look like he cared at all about people he had known for seven years. Harry felt sick this … this monster was someone Harry had counted as a friend for seven years now he didn't care that their friends and allies were dead at his very hand. The only thing Luke had reacted to was the mention of Thalia.
'Gods, you really don't care Luke do you!?' Annabeth said appalled. 'You really are a monster!' she shouted. 'All you care about is yourself. And your vengeance!' Annabeth said quietly looking at Luke like she was trying to deny it had all happened.
Luke's eyes narrowed at his old friend, 'I know you Annabeth. You deserve better than to be tagging along on some hopeless quest to save the camp. Half-Blood Hill will be overrun by monsters within the month. The heroes will have no choice but to join us or be hunted to extinction. You really want to be on the loosing team … with company like this?'
Luke gestured to Harry and Tyson. Harry knew what was going to happen before it happened. Luke knew he was a son of Hades who was responsible for Thalia's death. Tyson was a Cyclops who the trio had had a bad run in with before they had found camp.
'Hey!' Percy yelled in defence of his brother glaring at Luke. 'At least he's not a traitor like you!' Percy spat.
Harry didn't say anything but rolled his eyes at the son of Hermes. Did Luke not think he had heard this all before coming on board? Harry had only been at camp for a few days since the truth of his parentage revealed itself but Harry had heard the whispers and the fear that those who Harry had once called friends had of him. It hurt a lot more coming from Luke but Annabeth had reacted much the same.
'Travelling with a Cyclops and a son of Hades,' Luke chided with a couple of sneers. 'Talk about dishonouring Thalia's memory! I'm surprised at you, Annabeth. You of all people –'
'Stop it!' shouted Annabeth. 'Just stop it!'
'Leave her alone!' Percy shouted glaring at Luke who had left the usually strong Annabeth Chase looking like the scared child she had once been. 'And leave Harry and Tyson out of this!' he added.
'Oh yeah,' Luke laughed looking like such a bad copy of the Luke they had known and loved it hurt Harry to the core of his being because this wasn't their friend. 'Your father claimed him. How many insults from your father do you think you can stand, Percy? You think he's grateful to you? You think Poseidon cares for you any more than he cares about this monster? The gods are so using you, Percy?'
'And Kronos isn't using you at all,' Harry said scathingly glaring at Luke all the while wishing every eternal punishment Harry could think of upon him which was a lot.
'They're using you as well,' Luke turned on Harry.
'Most of the gods can't stand me, Luke,' Harry retorted, 'as you pointed out I am a child of Hades not anyone's favourite I can tell you!' Harry snapped. 'And you know what I don't care! At least I'm not a traitor!'
'Do you have any idea what's in store for the first one of you to reach your sixteenth birthday? Has Chiron even told you the Prophecy? Harry you were at Camp for years and I am sure Chiron didn't miss your parentage. Did you ever wonder the true reason for the decision to never have children again? The gods are hardly known for their care about interfering with the mortal world, are they now?'
Harry and Percy shared a looking both knowing and wondering what it was that Luke meant. They both were aware there was a prophecy about one of the Big Three. And after Chrion's leaving message they had figured out there was more to the gods hating them than the broken vows but Chiron had never said and Annabeth had seemed terrified of whatever it was they didn't want Harry or Percy to know.
Now the prophecy had something to do with the first one of them to reach their sixteenth birthday which sounded ominous. What would happen on one of their sixteenth birthdays? If Luke was interested in it then Harry knew it could be nothing good Harry thought bitterly wishing he could have his old friend back but knowing that Luke was dead.
'No we do not know,' agreed Harry, 'but I know Chiron would tell us if he could and he thought it was safe for us to know. I do not know why Chiron does not want to tell us yet but it scared Annabeth enough and it is not about her.'
'We know what we need to know,' added Percy coolly sounding more in control of his emotions than the rest of them were which was a change from what it usually was like. 'Like who my enemies are.'
'Then you're a fool,' Luke said coldly.
'I only see one fool in this room and his name begins with L,' Cat interrupted blue eyes flashing dangerously at their old friend wishing pain upon him.
'Percy is not a fool!' agreed Tyson simply.
'Tyson no!' shouted Percy.
Before anyone could stop Tyson the Cyclops had charged at Luke with his fists raised to beat up the son of Hermes which was nothing less than Luke deserved Harry thought bitterly knowing if Harry ever got Luke in his hands Luke would be in store for far worse. Luckily for Luke the bear twins intercepted the blows each of them grabbing one arm stopping Tyson dead. They then pushed the Cyclops over so that Tyson fell so hard the entire deck rocked.
'Tyson!' cried Percy fear for his brother creeping into his voice.
Percy leapt over to where his Cyclops half-brother lay. Harry knew that Percy was coming to realise that as embarrassed as Percy was about having a Cyclops as a claimed brother Percy did care for Tyson. Luke looked furious at the two sons of Poseidon getting back to their feet on the desk of his or Kronos' ship Percy looking like he wanted to run Luke through right there and then which Harry would be more than happy to help with Harry though grimly trying not to think of the years of friendship between them.
'Too bad, Cyclops,' sneered Luke reminding Harry that it wasn't only Annabeth with a bad history with Cyclopes but Luke as well. 'Looks like my grizzly friends are more than a match for your strength.'
'I think you need a new definition of friendship,' sneered Cat anger blazing in her currently fiery blue eyes.
'Maybe I should let them have you!' Luke said coldly.
'Luke,' Percy said desperately. 'Listen to me. Your father sent us!'
'Percy,' hissed Harry.
Luke hated his father more than he hated anyone else in the world. Now Percy had revealed they were only here because of Hermes. Luke wouldn't react well to that news as evidenced by the puce of his face that would make Uncle Vernon proud.
'Don't. Even. Mention. Him,' Luke bit out breathing heavily.
'He told us to take the boat,' Percy said. 'I thought it was just for a ride, but he sent us here to find you. He told me he won't give up on you, no matter how angry you are.'
'Angry?' roared Luke going a deeper shade or purple by the second. 'Give up on me? He abandoned me, Percy!'
'It's the law,' Harry snapped feeling angrier by the second that this was what Luke blamed his own lack of morals on. 'Stop taking it so personally! You're not the only one to be abandoned by your parents! We're all in the same boat here yet none of us became deluded murderous psychopaths! Only you! Grow up and accept responsibility for your own actions! You could have gone to find him! Why didn't you? He clearly cared about you. He claimed you which is more than some have got! He gave you a quest. It was hardly his fault that things went pear shaped!'
Luke didn't appear to be listening to anything Harry said. Luke had his knuckles clenched so tightly they were quickly going white in contrast to his face which was still red despite the heavy breaths he had taken. Harry had known this would happen the second Percy had mentioned Hermes.
'I want Olympus destroyed!' Luke bellowed looking quite mad. Every throne crushed to rubble! You tell Hermes' its going to happen too. Each time a half-blood joins us, the Olympians grow weaker and we grow stronger. He grows stronger.'
Luke pointed to the gold sarcophagus confirming Harry's worst fears about what was in there. The trouble was by what little Luke had said there was no way to stop it. Harry supposed it was like the gods whose very existence was powered by their element and mortals beliefs if the thrones was "crushed to rubble" as Luke had said they would and enough demigods joined then Olympus as they knew it would be gone while Olympus might not be great it wasn't as terrible as the world would be under Kronos' rule.
'So?' demanded Percy anger still in his voice at the boy who had tried to kill him.
Percy hadn't realised what was inside the sarcophagus yet. Neither had Cat, Eve or Tyson Harry could see from their nonplussed faces. Only Annabeth who was looking at Luke with utter horror and betrayal written in every line of her face understood what was in the sarcophagus.
'What's so special…?' Percy began.
Harry could pinpoint the exact point that Percy had understood what was inside the sarcophagus. The others still hadn't worked it out but they hadn't been in the Underworld last year. They hadn't been there and felt the presence of Kronos so could recognise the same presence now.
'Whoa, you don't mean –'Percy began looking appropriately horrified at Luke.
'The Lord of Time,' Harry said grimly glaring at Luke with absolute disgust and hatred. 'Can't you recognise that same cold, evil presence that tried to kill us last year?'
Percy nodded but like Annabeth seemed too stunned to say anything to the counsellor Percy had once upon a time respected and liked. Harry had known since the moment he had sensed the evil presence but he was used to dark presences. This was no dark presence but a purely evil one that gave even Harry the shivers.
'He is reforming,' agreed Luke. 'Little by little, we're calling his life force out of the pit,' Luke sounded so pleased with himself that Harry wanted to punch him.
That actually relieved Harry a good deal. Instead of Tartarus siding with the titans he was being neutral. He wasn't exactly helping the titans but nor had he informed Hades that Kronos was crawling out his pit.
'With every recruit who pledges our cause, another small piece appears –'Luke explained.
'That's disgusting,' Annabeth said glaring at Luke hurt and disgusted by how far Luke had fallen.
Luke sneered at his once friend, 'your mother was born from Zeus' split skull. I wouldn't talk if I was you. Soon there will enough of the titan lord so that we can make him whole again. We will piece together a new body for him, a work worthy of Hephaestus' forges.'
'Except that Hephaestus would never do what you have done,' Eve said snapped at Luke a sneer in her voice and angrier than Harry could ever remember seeing the usually calm girl.
'And you should remember how Hephaestus was treated by Zeus,' added Harry still glaring at Luke coldness in his voice swearing then and there never to forgive Luke for what he had done to them. 'It's not only mortals that the gods have hurt but you don't see Hephaestus going psychotic and planning to make himself the new leader.'
'He doesn't need to,' sneered Luke. 'He was already a god.'
'And you would like to be a god,' Harry said sneering as he glared at Luke not surprised at that at all. 'Would that make you happy? Would that make your desire for vengeance go? I will warn you now that the Lord of Time will never reward you. Soon as you've outlived your usefulness he will kill you!'
'You have been blinded by the gods,' Luke repeated the same line which was getting old fast.
'Let's not start this again,' growled Harry Avada Kedavra green eyes flashing bright green. 'He sees you as a tool nothing more nothing less. It is you who have been tricked not us. If you accept that and come home it will be better for everyone in the end but I tell you this even if you do come home I will never forgive you!'
Luke laughed harshly, 'like I can ever just come back! You are a naïve fool for a son of the Lord of the Dead.'
'Maybe but at least I'm not trying to become a god by killing billions of people,' Harry retorted anger not abating in the slightest.
'You could join us,' Luke said. 'You will be rewarded. Harry you will never have to put up with the hateful comments of those who see your father first. You'll have your own accomplishments. Nobody would ever see you as evil as your father again.'
Harry looked at Luke incredulously, 'oh yeah because if I don't want to be seen as evil it would be a really good idea to go and join a psychopath who wants to destroy the world.'
Luke tutted like an overbearing mother, 'a shame. You could have been great.'
'So could have you,' Harry said before he could stop himself anger getting the better of him once again. 'If you weren't taken in by the Lord of Time's lies.'
'Eve,' began Luke.
'If you're trying to convince me to join you don't bother remember I had a happy loving childhood,' Eve snapped at Luke. 'As you well know if you haven't forgotten everything about us! Or the fact that we were once all friends! Good friends and here you are essentially saying join me or die! Great friend you are there,' Eve added bitterly. 'There's nothing you could say that would make me join you!'
Luke sighed, 'your mother could get the respect she deserved.'
'I don't care,' Eve snapped at Luke. 'I'm not going to join you for respect,' Eve sneered glaring at Luke. 'Or any other reason that you can think of.
'Shame,' Luke said although he didn't seem to mean it but Luke didn't seem to care about anything but revenge at the moment. 'I wonder if your mother will think the same when the time comes.'
'I'm not going to join you because of mum,' Eve said anger in her voice. 'I'm not going to join you because you're a monster I'm not!'
'Cat,' Luke said. 'Do you know how many unclaimed demigods are here?'
'Then they're idiots,' snapped Cat.
Cat hated her father and hated anyone mentioning him or the fact that after all these years she was still unclaimed. The fact that someone who had known her for years was using something that had hurt her so much against her hurt her. Cat's natural response to hurt was anger.
'Are they? You who still fights for the gods though your father abandoned you,' Luke raised his eyebrow.
'Yes they did,' agreed Cat with a snarl whether at Luke or her father or bother Harry knew not, 'but what about everyone else who have been there for me? What about my friends who will die if Kronos gets power. I unlike you and the other traitors,' sneered Cat at her fellow demigods, 'am aware that the gods are not to be trusted but how is Kronos any better. He ate his own children for gods' sake. What will stop him doing the same as you!?'
Luke sighed, 'I expected more from you, Cathryn.'
'We could say the same about you,' Harry said quietly in a deathly whisper. 'You are a traitor. You will end up in the Fields of Punishment for this. I'll make sure of that I promise you that!' Harry said aware of his friend shuddering but Luke didn't even react to his statement. 'You were our friend and you forsook that for revenge for Thalia! Revenge that Thalia would never agree with!'
Luke's eyes darkened at this confirming Harry's suspicions of the true reason Luke had turned to Kronos or what he told himself at least. Kronos used his grief and anger against him to turn him against those who loved him. Harry wished that there was some way to convince Luke to that this wasn't what Thalia wanted but Harry didn't know Thalia well enough to say anything.
'Thalia wouldn't want this,' Annabeth snapped sounding so angry that Harry was surprised she hadn't hit him. 'She gave her life against an army of monsters. Now you're siding with the monsters!'
'As are you, Annabeth,' Luke replied.
'You are the only monster here,' Annabeth cried sounding like those words cost her a lot because she was essentially giving up on Luke.
Luke shook his head pity in his eyes, 'the gods are the true monsters, Annabeth. Annabeth join us and you can realise your dream of being an architect. You can build a monument to last a thousand years. A temple to the lords of the next age.'
'Go to Tartarus,' spat Annabeth fury in her slate grey eyes looking like she was planning the best way to murder him.
'A shame,' Luke said as though this wasn't the girl he had half brought up on the streets all those years ago. 'Percy, join us and you will be rewarded. We have powerful friends, sponsors rich enough to buy this cruise ship and much more. Percy, your mother will never have to work again. You can buy her a mansion. You can have power, fame – whatever you want,' Luke continued.
'I'd rather die than join you,' Percy spat disgust and anger in his voice.
Harry could tell that by Luke's expression that he could easily arrange that and it would mean nothing to him to do so. Harry knew that they had failed to convince Luke to switch side. The same could be said for Luke which was likely the only reason they had survived this far because he wanted them on his side.
Harry liked to think it was because they had once been friends but thought it was more likely because it would boost their power. Harry just wished it was like it had been when they were younger. When things were nice and simple but those days were long gone and so was that Luke which looking around at his friends Harry could see hurt them all as much as it hurt Harry.
Luke picked up something like a TV remote. Luke pressed the red button on the object. Harry was glad he hadn't converted his sword back to a wand and had his hand wrapped tightly around his sword ready for the battle which was to come.
A few seconds later the door opened and two uniformed crew members entered armed with batons. Harry could tell by their glass look that these men were mortal but that made them more dangerous. It would be impossible for anyone but Harry to injure them and they would keep coming until they dead because they had in their brainwashed state no concept of self, pain or fear so Harry would have to kill mortals which Harry had no intention of doing so.
'Ah good security,' Luke said calmly. 'I'm afraid we have some stowaways. Its time to feed the Aethiopian drakon. Take these fools below and show them how it's done.'

Harry knows about Neville's parents but there isn't anything he can do about them. Mr D. or his children would be able to help but can you see Mr. D lending a helping hand to anyone. Yes it will be because the Prisoner of Azkaban should be resolved quickly with the help of Lily. I am sure Hades will not be impressed with Tantalus' treatment of his elder son.
