Okay. I'm here to address some things. I know I probably sounded whiny and ungrateful demanding 35 reviews, but I was having a really bad day, if you will accept my lousy excuse. So here we are, finishing the cliffhanger.
Ron leaned in: he was truly on edge about this secret. He, Harry, and Hermione had, at first, been suspicious of this new teacher, but after the various dark detecting spells he had demonstrated, they had admitted that he was no Death Eater. Even with Harry seeing Death Eaters everywhere, they had all agreed. If Percy really was a Death Eater, though, then how could Ron not tell Harry? Ron braced himself for a Dungbomb.
"Greek Gods still exist."
Ron had seen Percy's lips move. His ears had heard words being spoken, but somehow his mind refused to acknowledge the words he heard, and subsequently, there was no meaning. He must have stared at Percy blankly, because he heard a short laugh.
"I'm not lying here. I am a son of Poseidon, and of course, Nico is a son of Hades. Now, there is the possibility that you do not believe a single word that I said and will promptly try to curse me. That will not work, spells don't affect godly blood. So I suggest you take a seat, Mr. Weasley." When a stunned Ron took a seat Percy resumed talking.
"Now be warned, this is a thrilling story. When I first arrived here, I had prepared myself for a virtual Hades. That was until I met you, your brothers, and young Miss Granger. You all give off the aura of a demigod, with the exception of the fact that you are wizards, meaning, of course, that you cannot be demigods. After much thinking and consulting with my slightly insane girlfriend, I came to a long held secret." Here he paused and looked me over. His eyes were scarily intense.
"I believe that every pureblood family was once blessed by one God, which is why your blood is seen as 'pure'. As you might guess, the Malfoy's were blessed by Athena, as seen in the blond hair and gray eyes. But, we think that the gods have taken a...special interest in the Weasleys. After much studying of your family, I now think that everyone of you is blessed by a god singularly." At Ron's shocked face he nodded.
"For example, your mother, wildly protective, a brilliant cook, and a very homey figure. Your mother has the blessing of Hestia. Your twin brothers, mischievous and tricky, I believe the curse known as Hermes has befallen them. As for you...I believe that you are an example of the roman counterpart of Ares, Mars. Strategy and power are his gifts and I know that you have them."Here Ron finally interrupted.
"WAIT! Are you saying that we are a family full of people that these Greek gods that you are trying to tell me are real have blessed us? And how does this have to do with my friends and why can't I tell Harry?" Calmly, Percy picked at his shirt.
"I also think that anyone that will become a Weasley is prematurely blessed. They probably can tell because of Apollo, the Greek god of prophecy. What I'm saying is that your friend Hermione will become a Weasley because she is very obviously blessed by Athena. Also, I don't want you telling Harry because he is not blessed and has his own destiny to deal with."
When Percy had finally finished explaining, Ron slumped back into the chair and promptly fainted.
I know that its short, but I'm at the library and its closing. REVIEW! totallyawesome out.
