A/N Okay, first off, before I begin, I'd just like to say that I've been asked what the event that allowed Percy and Annabeth have powers that belong to the others parent is, and I'd like to respond to that by saying that you should read my other story What do you mean you're a shapeshifter? Since this is the sequel to that. With that in mind, I would also like to say that I may provide a brief overview of this event, but I won't give anything away, cuz like I said, if you haven't already and want to know, read my other story. That is all…for now.
Chapter 13
"You're going to pay!" cried out Zabini, "My mother's in the Ministry, and you're going to hear from her for throwing a dagger at my face. You filthy mudblood wannabes!"
"You know what?" asked Thalia, "If you have a problem with one of us, you deal with it yourself. Don't go bringing in your parents just because they're powerful. Look at us! One of our parents can freaking destroy a whole continent if they wanted to, but we don't ask them to deal with our problems unless we couldn't do it ourselves. We may ask for guidance, but we wouldn't have them freaking come in and do it for us! And do you even realize that there are some people who don't even have a mom, dad, or both? Yet, here you are gloating around about how much you have. If you ask me, you don't have that much. All you have is a big mouth. Here's an idea: you want something, you earn it! And try giving back for Zeus's sake. Then, maybe people will like you for you and not for what you have."
At the end of her rant, Thalia was holding Zabini in the air, against the wall, and her words were coming out as a snarl. She let go of Zabini, but not before pushing him into the wall, and stormed out.
"You know," said Percy, "all you wizards should really think about what you want to say before you say it, as well as think about how others would feel."
With that, he walked out holding Annabeth's hand and the rest of the demigods following him. Every student in the Great Hall is stunned by the little outburst as they filed out of the Great Hall since their Headmaster dismissed them from lunch.
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and a few other kids from Gryffindor made their way to the grounds, where they've been told the demigods are. They walked out and near Hagrid's hut were a bunch of different colored tents, along with what looked like an area to swordfight, an archery range, an area to make weapons, an area to eat, a rock climbing wall (which is probably too high for Hermione XD) and a few other areas, each filled with a bunch of kids their age holding diverse weapons from throughout the ages.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked up to the closest person, who was blonde haired and had grey eyes, and appeared to be reading a book in a different language.
"Excuse me," said Hermione, politely
"Oh, hi, didn't notice you there," said the blonde, as he closed his book, "sorry, I was really into that book. My name's Malcolm, do you guys need anything?"
"Yeah," said Harry, "we're looking for Percy and Annabeth."
"Those two?" asked Malcolm, "check Poseidon's tent, where they usually are. If not, probably the lake, and as a last ditch effort, the library. Oh, and Poseidon's tent is the green one. Looks like its underwater when you enter."
"Okay, thanks," said Harry, as Malcolm walked away to a group of blonde haired, grey-eyed kids heading over to the archery range.
The Gryffindors made their way to Poseidon's tent, and entered. The group was blown back since the whole room was as if they were in the sea. There were fish swimming around everywhere, and the group seemed to be in a bubble, which they could touch. A few of the fishes looked at them before swimming off into another room. Only Harry was marveling at the space, since this is the second time he's been in a tent where the inside is bigger than the outside.
"Um, hello?" called Harry, after finishing looking around
"Is Percy and/or Annabeth here?" asked Hermione
"Yeah, we're here," called out a voice from the room the fishes (Fishies) disappeared to, "Who's asking?"
"Um, it's Harry," said Harry, "and a few other Gryffindors."
"Oh, be right there," said the voice again. A few minutes later, Percy entered the room from the same room the voice came from, with Annabeth walking behind him.
"So what do you need?" asked Percy, as he sat on one of the many blue furniture around the room, motioning for everyone to do the same as Annabeth sat on his lap.
"We just had a few questions," said Hermione
"Mainly Hermione, but still," mumbled Ron, earning a glare from said female.
"Ok, well shoot," said Percy
"So," said Hermione, "are you parents really gods?"
"Yeah," said Percy, "oh, do you guys want anything to eat or drink?"
"No," said Hermione, and as Percy looked around, the rest of the wizards shook their heads as well.
"Ok," said Percy, "hey Bucktooth! Can I get a blue cherry coke (I do not own cherry coke, no matter what color it is) and a glass of water here?"
The wizards looked around for a person, but instead was met with a shark with a belt that allowed it to have cup holders on it. There were four cup holders, two on each side of the shark, and two of the cup holders were filled with Percy's orders.
"Thank you," said Percy as he took the cherry coke and Annabeth took the water, "I'll tell all your friends that you helped me out if they don't believe you, all right bud?"
The shark then looked like it was smiling and had a gleam in its eyes as it nodded .
"All right," said Percy, "you can go back to talking with him if you want. Tell him that I'm going to be busy answering a few questions for a while so I might have to talk to him later."
The shark got a determined look on its face as it seemed to salute and swim back to where it came from.
"Are you making that shark work for you?" asked Hermione, "Why would you do that? That's abuse to living beings; they shouldn't be made to work for you."
"Okay, first off, no one's making it work for me," said Percy, "second off: Bucktooth volunteered and won in a raffle my dad put out to help out here. Third off: I'd sooner do it myself than force someone who doesn't want to do it for me. Okay, so don't start jumping to conclusions."
"Why would it want to volunteer?" asked Ron
"All aquatic and horse-like animals want to," said Percy, "besides, me and Annabeth are practically future king and queen of the sea."
"So you're royalty?" asked Ron, "but you're not acting like a git at all."
"Not all royalties act like a git," said Annabeth, "and we're not really royalty. Our seats as Prince and Princess of the Sea are on reserve since we still want to be mortal."
"What do you mean 'still want to be mortal'?" asked Harry, "And why is it reserved?"
"You see," said Percy, "last year, we were involved with a huge argument between our parents that took over a few months to solve. When it did, my dad gave us a prize for toughing it out. That prize was becoming immortal and being the Prince and Princess of the Sea."
"Why didn't you take it?" asked Ron, "You could have become gods. GODS!"
"And how fun would that be?" asked Percy, "We'd be stuck doing chores to help out the aquatic animals around the world as well as possibly helping out in libraries for all eternally. No, we'd rather have fun first, and once we're ready to settle, then we'll become immortal, along with Thalia and Nico, who'll become Princess of the Sky and Prince of the Underworld respectively."
"What was the argument about?" asked Hermione
"Um, I, uh, we don't want to talk about it," said Percy
"And don't even try to ask any other demigods," said Annabeth, "they only know the basic, which is that it involved both our parents. Only me and Percy know the details, along with a few other people we can truly trust."
"Did you tell Malfoy?" asked Harry, "Since Ginny told us that you told a few other people some of your secrets a while ago."
"See, I told you they would ask her," said Percy, as Annabeth nodded to calm him down, "anyways, no, we didn't tell them. We only told them about our true identities and what we can do."
"So, why are you here?" asked Ron
"We, as in all the demigods here," said Percy, "were sent to help out against Voldemort. Other than that, we got no clue."
"I think it's time for them to go," said Annabeth, as Bucktooth came in and nuzzled his head and got Percy to rub his head.
"Okay," said Hermione, "I think its dinner time anyway. We'd best be off. Bye."
Okay, so the characters are: Percy, Nico, Annabeth, Thalia, Katie and Miranda Gardner (daughters of Demeter), Pollux (son of Dionysus), the Stolls and Chris (sons of Hermes), Clarisse (daughter of Ares), Silena B. (daughter of Aphrodite), Charles Beckendorf (son of Hephaestus) Congratulations to MacBud94 for the ones s/he got (except for Michael Yew, I think he died, maybe?), Alexis for the ones s/he got (except for Jake Mason, who I'm going to say is in a cast just because I want him to), Nicole Di Angelo for the ones s/he got (except Piper; I don't think I'm going to have HOO or Romans in this, sorry guys ; though I am still waiting for MoA to come out), MollyPop0real0 for the ones s/he got (not Luke; honestly I never liked him, got in the way of Percabeth a lot) and m1347 for getting most of them right (sorry bud) except for Leo, cuz it's Beckendorf. I'm gonna give him some fire power just to make him more awesome like that. You guys get a free amnesiac, starving llama with no llama food, since I live in a place where there's no llamas! Even if they are in the top ten coolest animals out there. Also congratulations to MacBud94, 110269 (Yes, seriously; it never burns out, so none of the Hogwartians (which sounds like an alien race) could put it out since it's supposed to be like the ultimate fire, right?), Alexis (read 110269's parenthesized bunch of letters I'm too lazy to think of a word for), and m1347 (you got one part completely right, so that should count for something, right?) for figuring out the fire.
Also, about MoA, I was thinking: so, since Nico's, like, captured by the giants and is in Rome, and Ella's prophecy whatcha-ma-call-it says that the Mark of Athena will burn through Rome, wouldn't it mean that Annabeth, since it's like no doubt she's the seventh, would help release Nico, possibly? And all this time I was thinking that the others would like ban her or something (except Percy since he hasn't seen her in like eight months and probably won't want to leave her side again) from helping and she'd do something horribly wrong.
Anyways, peace out cupcakes!
