Chapter seven;

Since being at camp he had been in Chiron's office all but once, when he had first arrived at the camp – well a few days in, to see how he was settling in. unlike most unclaimed who joined the camp, he actually had a cabin of his own to stay in and support him. Oh Hermes cabin were great with what they did, but there was so many of them to oversee, sometimes people got overlooked a lot.

The office was cramped and filled with paperwork, files and lose paper. Books and random objects from over the many years of being alive. They were joined by Mr D, Lee, Percy and Annabeth. How the last two ended up in the meeting, he wasn't exactly sure if he was personally honest – Percy, maybe? Chase? No. Percy was powerful and had raw talent that needed training, so people had suspected that he was the son of Poseidon, what with him having green eyes.

Didn't they realise that mortals could have green eyes too?

Plus, Percy's mother was missing because he too had been accused of stealing the lightning bolt.

"So, because I'm Lord Poseidon's son, I am meant to be responsible for this missing bolt?" Deo demanded looking at them all like they had gone insane, to be fair Lee had the same expression on his face too. "Does it not occur to any of you that I was in Scotland when this was occurring, in class!"

"I thought you were english," Chase asked snidely,

"I attend school in Scotland, damn ass." Deo rolled his eyes at the interfering little brat. "Boarding school, if you must know."

"I know, but there will be no reasoning with Lord Zeus." Chiron said sadly, "You must find the Bolt, before the solstice, or we are all doomed to a war of the gods. you understand?"

"Do you know how big this world is? Really?" Deo demanded – half hysterical now, "How on earth do you expect me to find it, with no clue what so ever to who even really stole it in the first place?"

"Who would benefit most from a war of the gods?" Chiron asked logically,

"Hades." Annabeth offered – Chiron started nodding but Deo and Lee shared a critical look, "If Zeus and Poseidon are too busy fighting, Hades will be able to take power and with all the dead from the war, his kingdom will grow unimaginably."

"Ares would benefit more," Deo reasoned – Lee nodded in agreement, and after a few seconds Percy agreed. Mr D, Chiron and Annabeth looked annoyed and critical. "For every war that is fought, Ares gains power from it. he craves war, wouldn't a war of the gods be an ultimate aim for him?"

"I don't think so," Chase scoffed,

"Regardless, you will go to the attic, Deo." Chiron instructed calmly, still looking dubious. "you will understand once you are there."

Three will go west.

A person thought to be a friend is really an enemy,

Not all is as it seems.

Deo snorted and rolled his eyes as he descended from the attic, he knew that his father powered those things, but seriously? They weren't exactly much help, so ambiguous. He already had several people he knew betray him through his life, that he thought were good friends.

And west? How far west? A mile? Six hundred miles? More?

And which three?

Did it actually matter?

When he got back down to the office, Mr D had vanished. When he told Chiron most of the prophecy, leaving out the part about a friend betraying him, there were instantly three volunteers to go on the quest with him. Lee, Percy and Chase.

"Well, there you go! Three will go west, let those three go!" Deo joked half-heartedly, earning himself a clip around the head. From Lee. "Seriously, though, I will take Percy and Lee."

"Annabeth and Percy will accompany you," Chiron overruled his choice, earning a cry of outrage from both Lee and Deo, "As a daughter of Athena, Annabeth is well known for her strategies, and is one of the best fighters we have right now."

"And yet, Lee can trounce her in a fight every time." Deo pointed out, not at all impressed, by how Chiron had dismissed Lee as an option. "I am unwilling to work with someone who considers me a coward, that uses nothing but little magic tricks!"

"It was a game! I was baiting you!" Chase defended herself,

Chiron didn't look at all impressed right now.

"Enough, both of you! Annabeth, you know better than to dismiss someone's talents like that!" Chiron stated glaring at the female in the room, "Lee, take Deo to the camp storage, get him prepared. Deo, Annabeth and Percy will meet you at 8pm, at Thalia's tree."

*Britain – The Burrow*

William Weasley looked at the home that he grew up in with a long suffering sigh. When he had left the camp, he had first reported back to Gringotts – or more precisely Axegar – to let them know what had happened. Whilst he had been at the bank, Axegar had agreed to run a heritage test to determine who his mortal parent really was. As it turned out, it was his mother. Molly Weasley was his biological mother.

Did Arthur Weasley know the truth?

The moment that the results revealed that Molly was his mother, a glowing hologram appeared above his head. Axegar had said it was his fathers way of claiming him, that he was the Son of Dionysus. Instead of going to confront his family, he had taken a few weeks to himself, and had gone back to Egypt, throwing himself back into his work. The longer that passed though, the more he wanted – needed! – to know the truth.

He had tried to tell himself that it didn't matter.

Something inside of him was gnawing at itself though, needing to know the truth. Needed to know how they dared block and bind part of him that he had been born with, that was rightfully his. He had even seen some changes to his personality – not much but some – the past few weeks, since the binds had been undone. He found that when he was around the wine vineyard that was situated by their camp site for the Egypt project, the grapes grew within a matter of hours, even when they had just been plucked and none had remained hours before.

When he had requested a leave of absence from the goblins, it had been immediately granted.

From where he stood at the end of the garden, he could see Fred, George and Ron flying around the back garden and tossing the quaffle between them. Ginny and Hermione Granger (a friend of Ron's) were sitting underneath a tree in the shade reading, well Hermione was, but Ginny looked very frustrated.

William knew that Ginny was like him, she had dyslexia and ADHD – their father had taken them to a muggle doctor when the healers hadn't been able to help. Who was her father? Or Mother? Was it just Molly that had cheated over the years?

Where any of the others demigods?

The twins, he was certain, struggled with their reading and writing and certainly couldn't sit still – but they hadn't ever been tested, because their parents had dismissed it as them not wanting to do well in school, and being mischievous.

William closed his eyes, huffing slightly.

Could it be, out of seven children, that three of them were the only biological children of both parents?

Charlie. Percy. Ron.

And if they were demigods, the others that was, were their powers bound like his had been? When he expressed this concern to Chiron before leaving camp, he had been given a supply of Ambrosia cubes, which would burn through the blocks if any had been put into place – he had been warned to triple check before letting anyone eat them, because they would just burn up mortals.

Slowly walking up the through the garden, no one noticed him until she opened the kitchen door and walked inside.

"Bill!" his mother exclaimed shocked, "You didn't tell us you were coming to visit! Such a nice surprise!"

"I want to…I was in London," He stated – half lying. Seeing his siblings, he realised that this was much more than just about him. It was about then too. "I found a few things out the last few weeks. I think we need to sit and talk."

"Go sit in the family room," Molly said smiling – bustling around the kitchen, removing her cooking apron and waving her wand in several different directions. "Your father is in there, I will be through after I've checked to make sure the twins aren't causing chaos."

William gritted his teeth at that statement – yes, the twins were mischievous, but they only got worse once Molly started watching their every move and blaming them for everything that happened in the house. He had seen Ron doing something, and the twins get the blame, he hadn't believed it until a few years ago – Bill had proved a point though, set up a prank that was clearly not the twins (who had been with Molly at Diagon Alley), and yet they still got the blame for it.

He had stuck up for them ever since.

It should have been Ron that she was watching more closely, or Percy. Both were always trying to get the twins into trouble. They tried to get Ginny into trouble too, but as the only girl, it didn't affect her as much.

As she said, Arthur was in the family room, lounging on the old and most comfortable chair, reading the Daily Prophet.

"Hi." William said simply as he sat on the couch,

Arthur nearly dropped his paper in shock,

"Bill! What are you doing here!" Arthur laughed nervously, probably from being so startled by one of his kids. "I heard you were in England a few weeks ago, but when you didn't visit, I didn't mention it to your mum."

"I was here for work," William gritted out, he could hear the accusion on the elder wizards voice. "one of the goblins pulled me off assignment in Egypt to assist a high-standing client. I was only in England a day, before I went to America, I reported back to Gringotts before being dispatched back to Egypt."

"High-standing as in stuck up pureblood?" Arthur questioned,

"No. He's a good kid." William assured with a quirk of his lips, at the thought of Deo. Good kid indeed, they had spent a week together, and the kid felt closer than some of his brothers. It was also because of him that William knew the truth. "Actually I'm going to check on him after I leave here, His financial manager needs someone to deliver a file, since I'm the only one that knows his exact location, it makes sense that I take it to him."

"Why not send an owl?" Molly asked, from the doorway, apparently she had heard what he had been saying.

"Not that simple." William shrugged, "I didn't ask why."

"I'm guessing you are heading there after you leave here?" Molly asked, sitting down on the other couch nearest to the fire, which even during the summer burnt steadily. "Oh, Bill can't you stay for a few days!"

"I can't, Sorry." Bill lied,

Axegar had given him a file to deliver to Deo Calix. He had also said that so long as he didn't take over two weeks, then it didn't matter if it took a few days to get there.

"Why wasn't I told that dad wasn't my biological father." William asked after a few minutes of complete and awkward silence, his mother who had been taking a drink of tea coughed on it. Arthur's face went pale and then suddenly looked angry. Oh he knew.

"You took a heritage test." Arthur accused.

"Work purposes." He lied,

"oh…of course," Molly sighed – was that relief? – but she still looked rather upset, "We didn't tell you because there wasn't any need for you to know. Arthur, your dad, adopted you and formerly made you his heir when you were born."

"You bound the magic that connected me to my biological father." He said slowly, carefully. Allowing a measured dose of his anger to bleed into his words. Arthur and Molly shared a guilty look. "I need to know which of my siblings you also bound. I was going to ask why, but I honestly don't care, or at least until I know they are safe and healthy and don't have any binds on their magic too."

"The twins. And Ginny." Molly whispered, confirming his suspicions.

"Parents?" He enquired,

"They are all mine," Molly admitted,

"The three of them are coming with me." William informed – holding up a hand to silence the parents. "I am taking them to a camp, one that is linked to their parentage. I assume that they came to be the same way I did?"

"Different fathers."

How many gods did this woman sleep with?!

"No! Not like that!" Molly quickly assured, it must have shown on his face what he was thinking. "No, The twins and Ginny have the same father. Only you have a different father."

"Why? Why cheat?" William demanded,

"We have an open relationship -."

He shot them a look of horror as he walked out of the family room, to find the twins and Ginny. They were coming with him, regardless of what either Molly or Arthur said. They would know the truth – and they would be given the access, as was their right, to their natural heritage.

Stepping outside, he found them all sat under the tree eating sweets.

"George, Ginny, Fred. Go pack, clothes, books and whatever you want and need for the rest of the summer." William commanded, once they noticed him stood there. "You will be coming back a week before school starts. Go."

"Where are they going? Why can't I go…"

William shrugged off his youngest brother as he started to badger him, rolling his eyes he escorted the twins and Ginny to their rooms to pack. Once done, he activated the portkey to a muggle airport.

*America*

Deo had barely been dropped off at the bus station by Argus, with Percy and Chase, and he already wanted to either bang his head off a wall or bang their heads together. Both had bickered the full way, and Chase was already trying to take charge of the quest, despite being told explicitly told by Chiron that it was Deo who was in charge.
