Hello, people! Here is the promised chapter, albeit two days late. But that is expected of me at this point. Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone who gave their suggestions for the final pairings of this story. Some of your suggestions are quite good, even though some people don't seem to understand the difference between the words final and potential. To such people, I would advise that you read more carefully, and not give me a suggestion I have already declared as final.

On another note, WE FINALLY REACHED A 100 REVIEWS! That is something I have wanted for the longest time, and I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed up to this point. Thank You!

Please Enjoy!

Chapter 9

It was a few days after the Winter Solstice. Zeus' temper tantrum had manifested all around the country, creating unusual lightning storms. However, right now Lunaria was sitting in a small cafe in New York, waiting for Uncle Poseidon to arrive.

Poseidon had IM'ed her to arrange an outing, much like the ones they had when Ria had been at Hogwarts. It had been the constant visits from her Godly relatives that had, partly, helped her get through the years in Hogwarts. Poseidon, Hestia and Aphrodite had been her most frequent visitors. This time, however, the visit was not going to be a relaxing one, because they were going to discuss the happenings of the most recent Winter Solstice. Lunaria knew her Uncle had not been the one to steal the Master Bolt, Poseidon was not one to do that, and her opinion was cemented by the presence of the Titan King.

However, Ria could somewhat understand Zeus' paranoia, but the blame game he was trying to play was unacceptable. Admittedly, his symbol of power being stolen was a serious issue, but pointing fingers because of an incident that happened over a millennia ago was no way to deal with it.

Soon enough, Lunaria sensed her Uncle's power and she began looking around for him. Her normally stoic face melted into a smile as the green-eyed, bearded man came into her line of vision. Poseidon was her favourite Uncle.

Even while she was in Hogwarts, Poseidon remained in continuous contact with her, wanting to get to know his newest niece and try to reconnect with his brother. And truthfully, his relationship with Hades had marginally improved. Poseidon smiled as he saw his niece waiting for him at a small, quaint cafe. Lunaria's existence had changed a lot of things among the Olympians and Poseidon was no exception.

As the uncle and niece began to have lunch and make small talk, they were very aware that the forthcoming conversation was going to be difficult. As the lunch came to an end, the sombre faces of the two godly beings emerged. This was a conversation that needed to happen.

"Uncle," Lunaria said, with no trace of a smile or any kind of innocence on her face. But, while her face was stoic, it was not missing the compassion she felt for her uncle.

Poseidon, being a god, was not used to having to explain himself. Especially not to someone so much younger than him. His pride was only soothed by the fact that he was talking about this to another immortal. And the only reason he was even having this conversation was that he knew Lunaria was not judgemental in the same way most of his family was.

"Ria," Poseidon chose to take a deep breath before continuing, "you know that I had nothing with the Master Bolt's theft. And you know why Zeus is blaming me."

Lunaria nodded, very aware of what he was talking about. Zeus' habit of accusing, or punishing, people without any evidence was very well known. She had no idea how he dealt with his title as the God of Justice and Law. His powers must be at constant war with his pride. She frowned at the thought but chose not to say anything.

"Normally, Zeus' threat would not concern me this much, however, this time..." Poseidon hesitated.

Lunaria leaned forward to place her elbows on the wooden surface of the table as her frown intensified, "This time?"

"I have a demigod son." The declaration sat heavy between the two people for a little while.

Once she got over the shock of Poseidon breaking the Oath Lunaria was not overly shocked that he had done so. However, she could now understand why he was so worked up about this. The most recent of Zeus' children, a daughter called Thalia, had been turned into a tree because of her Father's minions. Uncle Poseidon probably did not want to turn his son into a dolphin to save his life, which also cleared up why he was talking to her in particular. Lunaria was the only one who could have some semblance of control over her Father's temper.

"Uncle, I understand your concerns, and I have no doubt that Zeus and my father suspect you for this very reason. The only thing I can do is extinguish my Father's rage and make him understand. Zeus' actions, however, are out of my hands. He will be hell bent on killing your child the moment you claim him. Or even more likely, send him on a quest to retrieve the Master Bolt and then kill him."

Poseidon smiled dryly, "That does seem more likely."

"I am sorry I cannot help more than this Uncle," Lunaria said remorsefully.

Poseidon chuckled half-heartedly, "Silly child, I did not expect you to be able to help with this. I told you because you are my favourite niece and you would have the most amount of chance, out of all of our family who would actually care about this. I am just worried that I will lose another child without being able to know them beyond the resentment they feel for me."

The truly sad look on his face had Lunaria's heart going out to him. So much so that she got up from her seat to go around the table and hug Poseidon. Both the godly being shared a heartfelt hug, a novelty Poseidon had not experienced in many millennia.

Poseidon basked in the embrace of his niece, her compassion all but flowing out of her every pore, not too different from his eldest sister. He could feel her regret at not being able to help him and he felt sad that she felt this way; however, he was also glad that there was still someone in his family who could be so genuinely concerned regarding others without ulterior motives. It boded well for the future of Olympus.

The emotional moment was ruined by a single comment.

"So that is why Mother has been so upset."

That statement was spoken with so much contempt that Lunaria could feel a shiver go down her spine. She who had the Lord of the Underworld as a Father.

Poseidon turned sharply to look at who had spoken, suddenly letting go of Lunaria.

"Triton."

The god standing there in the appearance of a young man looked to be in his early twenties with sable hair and green eyes, very similar to Poseidon's. That's where the similarities between Father and Son ended. It was clear that Triton had inherited most of his features from his mother.

The lighter green eyes were glaring daggers at their sire, and Lunaria got the feeling that it was going to get loud. She quickly threw up a privacy ward before they gained too much attention.

Poseidon stood up to his full height, annoyed at his son's audacity.

"What brings you here, Triton?"

The younger god snapped.

"You!" Triton yelled, "Once again, Mother is upset because of you and your cheating ways!"

Poseidon's face became stony. It was clear that this argument had been rehashed several times.

Triton continued to yell, paying no attention to Poseidon's expression. "Siring hordes of Cyclopes was not enough, you just had to go and sire a half-blood despite taking the Oath. The fact that Mother would be upset did not even cross your mind once!"

Poseidon's usually warm eyes became cold as steel, " And what of your Mother's various lovers, Triton?"

Triton was taken aback for a moment at the rebuttal before the fire in his eyes returned full force.

"She would not need to have lovers if you had been faithful to her in the first place."

"You and I are both aware that your mother had lovers well before the beginning of my infidelity."

"Maybe if you had loved her..."

Poseidon cut off his son's statement, "Your mother never gave me the chance, Triton." He went from angry to resigned. "She never let me forget that I owed her my control over the oceans. That Oceanus gave up his control of the seas because she agreed to marry me. Amphitrite has never even tried to love me Triton, she only loves her title as the Queen of the Seas."

Lunaria could all but see the wind leaving his sails. It was clear that this had been weighing on his mind for many millennia. Ria had never before seen her Uncle so devastated. She glared at Triton subtly and put a hand on the elder god's arm.

"Uncle," Lunaria said calmly, slightly gesturing for Poseidon to calm down.

This action had Triton's ire turning upon her.

"And what do you have to do with this you filthy little half-bl..."

She had had enough. Before Poseidon could so much as get angry on her behalf, Lunaria Silenced Triton with a negligent wave of her hand.

"I am not just some half-blood, and you would do well to remember that." Lunaria intensified her glare and allowed her godly powers to leak a little. The shadows in the room leapt at her command and darkened the room significantly.

The girl who walked forward was very much the Princess of the Underworld. Truly, there was something to be said about being raised in the Underworld, it gave you a certain flare for the dramatics and Lunaria was glad for it, this time.

Lunaria allowed her magic to saturate her voice before she started to speak, "And what exactly is wrong with Uncle Poseidon seeking love and acceptance outside of his marriage, fleeting as it may be, when your mother had no compunction doing the same, Triton?" Her voice was soft and yet filled with power.

Triton was struggling to get rid of the magic that was silencing him, not paying much attention to how the magic had been weaved.

Lunaria's eyes glowed vindictively as she continued to speak, "My mother kept me well informed of the goings on of all the gods, you know. And your mother cares for nothing but her own position in the hierarchy as the Queen of the Seas. It would be admirable, the way she is doing things, but hypocrisy does not suit us higher beings, Triton. Your mother is a disgrace to the name of the gods. She is nothing but a jealous, insecure child, afraid of losing her title as queen and the privileges that come with it." With that final statement, Lunaria released Triton from her magic and turned around to face her Uncle. Triton was speechless anyway.

Ria smiled at Poseidon, and said, "I shall see you another day, Uncle."

Rewarded with a smile from Poseidon, or as much of one as he could muster under the circumstances, Lunaria departed through the shadows, leaving the feuding Father and Son alone.

And that is it!

I need to say sorry to the person who suggested that I pair Lunaria with Poseidon, but as you can see, I have already established their relationship as Uncle and Niece.

To the person who suggested I pair Lunaria with Luna, I am sorry, but I do not write slash or femslash. I read both kinds of fics, but as I have no experience in such kind of relationships, I am not confident enough to write that. I could see it happening if someone else was writing it though!

Final Pairings for Lunaria: Lunaria x Apollo x Hermes x Ares x Percy Jackson x Jason Grace x Cedric Diggory

These ones are definite, but I am still taking suggestions. Not everything is set in stone right now.

Another thing I need from you guys is ideas on dealing with Dumbledore. As I said before, I want to include a couple of chapters about the wizarding world, and I currently have no idea about what to do. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you again, and please favourite, follow and review!
