Disclaimer: I don't own anything Percy Jackson of Harry Potter.

Hermione's POV:

After the Americans left the common room, we decided that we should see if Will or Calypso needed help. They told us that they were pretty much good, but thanks anyway. The future kids, besides Teddy, were all asleep. Teddy and I were sitting and reading our books when I heard a dog barking from outside Annabeth and Percy's private room. I looked at Harry and Ron, who had been playing chess, and I could tell they were thinking the same thing I was.

"Is that Sirius?" Harry said aloud.

"I believe so, let's go see."

So I led Ron and Harry to the portrait door and opened it to see the familiar grim-like dog that I knew to be Sirius Black. He walked in and transformed into human as soon as the door was closed again.

"Sirius, what are you doing here?" Harry asked.

"Well they left to go get the traitor, I knew that if I went to, then I would most likely try to kill him. So I figured it would be best to stay behind. Besides, if something were to happen to me, you would be going back to the Dursley's this summer."

"Wait, so does that mean…. Does that mean you still want me to come live with you?"

"Of course Harry! That is I you still want to…"

"Of course I still want to you nutter!"

I couldn't help but smile as I watched the two interact. And I was so happy for Harry; I could tell he was happy to as Sirius pulled him into a hug. As Sirius pulled back, his gaze fell onto Teddy.

"Who are you?"

Teddy blushed a bit and his turquoise hair had some red highlights in it. I realized no one must have told Sirius about the kids from the future. I was just about to explain to Sirius when the door leading to the younger children's room opened, revealing a tear-stained face Albus.

"What in the world?" Sirius whispered as the young Harry look-alike shyly ran to Teddy.

"What's wrong Al, nightmare?" Albus nodded to Teddy's question. "Hey, it's okay, can you tell me about it?"

"No, I, I want daddy" he said in between sobs. My heart melted at the poor boy's big tears. Teddy only wrapped his arms around Albus, giving him a big hug.

"Well, you might be able to get them on the locket, is that ok?" Al nodded, so Teddy got up and went into their room. He came back out a few seconds later with the locket.

"Hold up, what is… who are… what is going on?" Sirius spluttered.

"Oh, um well. I'll explain everything in a little bit, but what you need to know right now is that I'm Teddy, this is Al, and we came here after a time turner broke. We being us two, and Al's brother and sister. We are from the future.

"Future?" Sirius asked in a disbelieving tone.

"It's true Padfoot." Harry said. "They came back in time."

"If that's true, then I'm going to go with Al is Harry's kid."

Harry blushed but nodded. Teddy opened the locket.

"Harry Potter"

The locket started to flash, and a few seconds later, a groggy-looking Harry appeared.

"Teddy? What's up? Is everything alright?" He sounded much more awake then he looked.

"We're fine Harry, well Al had some kind of bad dream, he wanted to talk to you."

Future Harry's face softened when he heard that. He looked at his youngest son.

"You alright Al? Can you tell me what happened?"

Albus was full out crying right now. If Teddy didn't have him in his lap, I would have grabbed my future nephew.

"Y…You, you were angry, angry that we b…broke the t…time turner. You didn't w…wa…want us anymore, so you left us h…here."

"Albus that could never happen. I am disappointed that your brother snuck in here, I'm disappointed that the time turner broke. I'm frustrated because I'm doing everything I can to get you back here, but so far, nothing is coming up. But I'm not angry. And nothing could ever make me so angry that I wouldn't want you anymore. I will not stop until you are home. I promise. There are a lot of people trying to bring you all home. I promise Albus, alright? Don't worry. I love you, and that will never change."

"I love you to daddy."

"Why don't you go back to bed, I need to talk to Teddy okay bud?"

"Okay…" Albus hesitantly got off Teddy's lap, and after one last hug, went back to bed.

"Alright Harry, he left."

"Thanks Teddy. Like I told Albus, we're trying our best, but that was a prototype that wasn't even done yet. We've been working on it for years, it's meant to allow you to go back up to 1 year, so that's why it sent you back so far. The time setting was faulty and sensitive."

"So will we be stuck here forever?" Teddy asked.

"Not if I can help it. They are building a new one now, and we are studying everything we can about it."

"How long will it take Harry?"

"I don't know, it could take as long as a year…"

"A year!" Teddy cried. "But, but…"

"I'm sorry Teddy, I'm trying my best here."

"I know you are Harry, I won't tell the kids, and I promise to take care of them. We will be safe I promise."

"Thank you, that means the world to us. I'm sorry you won't be at Hogwarts here Ted."

"It's okay, I get to spend my 5th year with your past self, even if I do have to start the year over."

"That's the spirit Teddy. I'm gonna let you go now okay? Go get some sleep."

"I will. But so should you, I can tell you haven't gotten much."

I looked closer, and indeed, there were dark circles under older Harry's eyes. He only smiled.

"My kid's and godson are in the past, and in a war. It's hard not to stay up and try to get them home."

With that, he disappeared. The gears in my head were turning though. Where were Remus and Tonks? Surely they would be worried about their son… unless… no. No. No they can't be dead. But Harry and Teddy are very close, and Remus and Tonks aren't there… there's no other explanation.

I almost started to cry right then and there. But I held myself together. Maybe I was wrong. Even if I wasn't I couldn't tell Harry. Or Ron, because Ron would just tell Harry.

"Now can you explain everything?" Sirius said impatiently. "You're not Harry's kid, but you're his godson, and you're a metamorphagus, because you changed your hair color. So if you know Harry, and are a metamorphagus, then you probably Tonk's kid, am I right?" Teddy nodded. "Ah, thought so, now who is your dad?"

"Well my name is Teddy Remus Lupin, I'll let you figure out the rest."

"Moony!? And Tonks!? Wow! This is great! We will be related!"

"Yup, so I'm Teddy, I'm 15 and a 5th year Hufflepuff. Not a werewolf, but I do get moody on the day of a full moon, and I have enhanced senses."

"Nice! Quidditch?"

Teddy shook his head.

"To clumsy."

"Like your mother then, now what about these other kids?"

"Sorry, I'll let them introduce themselves, I will tell you their parents are Harry and Ginny."

"Ginny Weasley?" Sirius turned to a blushing Harry with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "My, my Harry. You Potters and your red heads, but this one is Ron's baby sister."

"Yeah, and he better treat her right, or else." Ron added in. I just rolled my eyes.

"So how did you future kids get here?" Sirius asked Teddy.

So Teddy told the story of what happened, making sure not to reveal the names of the kids, and he went into the locket, and how they could communicate with Harry and Ginny.

"Wow, who ever the oldest kid is, is certainly a troublemaker by the sound of it. I'm so proud." I scoffed and rolled my eyes at the fake tears running down Black's face.

We spent who knows how long sitting up and talking, when Will's phone made a sort of beeping sound, signaling a new message.

~oOo~

Will's POV:

Getting that text from Thalia… Gods, I can't even describe the feelings. I was worried about Nico, and also really angry. I was going to kill him. I was also very concerned about Percy and Annabeth. They have come a long way, but they still have extreme PTSD, and they can be very… sensitive, about when the other is hurt. I decided to just take this one step at a time. I informed Calypso, and the others that were in the room were also worried for the 3 in question. I told the golden trio, Sirius, and Teddy, to go into the other room, where they could spend the night, which they did, albeit reluctantly.

We had just gotten the room ready when Dumbledore appeared with Percy, Annabeth and Nico. Percy and Annabeth were moved to their bed, while Nico was moved to a cot that we had gotten. I was even more concerned when Nico was laid down. It wasn't as strong as a month ago, after the battle, but his life force was going down. Whatever had drained his energy before he shadow travelled must have been strong, but add in that shadow travel? It took so much out of him that I'm surprised he hasn't started fading again.

"I'll look after Percy and Annabeth. You go to Nico." Calypso told me. I could only nod as I made my way over to my boyfriend. He looked so small and helpless. I would never say that to his face, but it's true. I shook my head and forced myself to concentrate.

-Time Skip-

Calypso told me that Percy and Annabeth would be fine, neither had a concussion, which was extremely lucky. The curse that had hit Percy had an extreme effect on him; she said that part of the reason was because of hat happened to them during the summer. The sensation brought back some memories, and he went into a mild shock. He'll be okay. Annabeth will have a headache, but no concussion. She had been worn out from slashing at Voldemort so much. That plus being thrown back knocked her out. Also se must have scraped her arm on something because she had a long gash from her wrist to elbow that Calypso wrapped up. We gave both of them nectar and ambrosia. They would probably be asleep the rest of the night.

Nico was exhausted. I was able to bring his life force back to full, but he will be closely monitored by me, he would not be able to use any of his underworldy-powers for a while. And he would need plenty of rest, which he will hate me for, but it's his own fault. I decided to wait until morning to lecture him. But believe me. He is getting a lecture. I told him to take it easy, and not to shadow travel when he is worn out! He never listens! I decided that they shouldn't go to classes in the morning, and already got the four of us excused. I would have to wake them up for breakfast, but after that, they were going to relax. I know Sirius will be spending the day in the rooms with us tomorrow.

~oOo~

Nico's POV:

I groaned and swatted at who ever was trying to shake me awake.

"Nico, don't you dare complain. You have got to eat breakfast. Doctor's orders. And then we are going to talk."

My eyes popped open at Will's unusually stern voice. He sounded angry, and I tried to think back to what I could have done. Then I remembered. Oh I am so dead.

I decided that I didn't want to make it any worse on myself, so I sat up and looked over at Will. His arms were crossed over his chest and he was staring down at me. His eyes held none of his usual cheeriness, and he was definitely not smiling. Great. Just great.

I got up and scooted around Will, who had been standing right by my bed, I was going to get my clothes and take a quick shower, when I realized I was in Percy and Annabeth's room.

"I went ahead and got you a change of clothes" Will whispered as he pointed to the dresser. I saw my black sweatpants and t-shirt and had to hold back another groan as I realized I would be confined to resting again. "Go take a shower, I will be waking everyone else in about 15 minutes. There are already fresh towels in the bathroom."

"Will, I'm…"

"I don't want to hear it right now Nico." He cut me off.

"But…"

"No, we'll talk after breakfast. Go, now."

I nodded and walked around all our sleeping friends that must have stayed with Percy, Annabeth and I all night. My guilt factor went up. I shut the door behind me and just leaned back on it. Will was mad. Very mad.

-Time Skip-

15 minutes later I was seated on the cot, watching everyone scramble to get ready. All of them had taken showers the night before so only Percy and Annabeth had to still. Calypso decided to check on Annabeth while waiting for Percy to be done. Will, however, was checking on me.

I stayed silent, knowing that he was mad at me, while he checked my heartbeat, my pulse, blood pressure, etc…

"You got lucky Nico. No more using any powers for a while, wand less powers that is." He gave me a pointed look, I only nodded. He had to be careful, because the Golden trio was also in the room. "You need plenty of rest, and don't argue."

I hadn't even planned on arguing. So I nodded my head in understanding. He told me to lie back on the cot and rest until breakfast. Not wanting to anger him further, I agreed.

About 20 minutes later, everyone was ready to go, so we left Percy and Annabeth's rooms, straight into the common room. I guess we looked pretty strange, because we were drawing the attention of the common room. Can you blame us? We had all the Americans, the golden trio, the futures, and a dog; I guess Sirius is hungry too.

We ignored the stares as we made our way to the Great Hall. Once we were all seated at our respective tables, Will started putting food on my plate. I tried to give him a pleading look, but it's kind of hard to do when he won't even look at me. I don't see why he is this angry. I think he is over-reacting.

"Oi! Padfoot!"

I looked up at Ron's shout, and had to hide a smile. Sirius, as a dog, was eating off Ron's plate, while Ron was trying to push him off. Everyone at the Gryffindor table was laughing, even Percy and Annabeth. It's good to see them laugh again, even though I would never admit that out loud.

Ron finally just grabbed a different plate and let Sirius finish the first. I looked over at Will, who glanced up and pointing to my food before turning away. I sighed and looked across the table to my cousins and Annabeth. Thalia just shrugged at me and started eating, while Percy and Annabeth looked at me with pity. Must be a relationship thing. Great.

I wasn't very hungry, but for Will's sake, I ate as much as I could. I managed somewhere between half and three-quarters before I set my fork down and looked back at Will. He looked at my plate and nodded, knowing I couldn't eat anymore unless I wanted to be sick. He finished his breakfast and got up.

"We'll meet you guys back up in the tower." Will stated as he motioned me to follow him.

"Good luck." Thalia whispered to me as I stood up.

Once we got to the room, I tried apologizing. But I'm not always the best at that.

"Look, Will. I'm sorry okay? I know I shouldn't have shadow traveled, but I'm fine! And if I hadn't that snake could have gotten Annabeth seriously injured, or even killed. I think you're over-reacting."

"Over-reacting? Nico you just finished healing completely from the war. You're energy was being drained. You could have killed yourself, or faded from existence! And you don't even seem to care! You just toss it aside like you're life doesn't matter!"

"Because it really doesn't"

I covered my mouth with my hand, my eyes wide, as Will stops pacing. I hadn't meant to say that out loud. Will slowly turned around, a shocked and angry look on his face.

"What did you just say?"

"Nothing, just forget it."

"No! Nico. No. Stop pushing people away. Stop hiding your problems. Why do you think that you don't matter to people?"

"Because I don't Will, okay? I know I don't. You're the only one who cares about me. I mean truly cares about me. Sure the others say they do. But how can they? How can you? I ruin everything! I ruin everyone's lives!"

"No you-"

"YES I DO! I RUINED BIANCA'S LIFE! I'M THE REASON SHE'S DEAD. I BLAMED PERCY, BUT I KNOW IT WAS MY FAULT! It was my fault…"

I tried but failed to hold back the tears. I hadn't told anyone any of this. So why was I telling Will now? I looked away and tried to wipe my tears, hoping Will hadn't seen them. I felt warm arms around me, Will's arms. That was all it took and I broke down. Years of holding in all my emotions, building up those walls, that was gone now. It disappeared as I turned my head into Will's shoulder, and cried. Just cried.

~oOo~

Will's POV:

I am a terrible boyfriend.

That was all I could think of as I held Nico. He was crying. He doesn't cry. Not normally, so I know that this was a big deal for him. To blame himself for his sister's death? How had he kept this a secret? I hugged him tighter as I heard his heart breaking sobs. I kissed the top of his head and tried my best to calm him down so I could talk to him. A couple of minutes later, he was calming down some. I had moved back so I was sitting on the bed with Nico right by my side. I turned a little bit so I could face him.

"Nico. What happened to Bianca was not your fault. She sacrificed herself for the quest. You had nothing to do with it."

"Yes I did." I had to strain my ears to hear his small, crackling voice. "She wouldn't have died if she hadn't tried to get this for me."

I looked down, already knowing what he was holding. The little statue of Hades that Percy had brought back from the quest. I closed my eyes and held Nico tighter.

"Nico, she was warned not to touch anything in that junkyard. You weren't there. You didn't tell her to get it. You didn't tell her to give up her life. She was brave Nico. She wouldn't want you to blame yourself. She would want you to live your life."

Nico just shook his head.

"No, it was my fault. Everything was my fault. If I hadn't been born, mom wouldn't have died. Bianca wouldn't have died. A lot of people would be alive if it weren't for me."

"Nico." I looked him straight in the eyes. "It was not your fault about your mom. That was Zeus. It was not your fault about Bianca. No one thinks that, and if they did, they would be hearing from us. You have so many people who care about you, who want to see you happy. You deserve to be happy Nico. You're strong, and you've been through a lot. You grew up to fast. None of that was your fault. Look at all the good you've done. You're the reason Percy survived the Titan War, you helped him with the river."

"I betrayed him."

"He understands Nico. You were trapped in that hotel, you didn't remember your mother and you wanted to know more. You ended up helping Percy escape too. You convinced your dad to come join the battle. You helped bring peace between the two camps. You brought Hazel back. You gave her a second chance at life. You are not a bad person. And you didn't kill those people Nico."

"I want to believe you"

"What's stopping you?"

"The truth."

"Nico. I'm telling you the truth. You're the only one standing in the way of letting it all go, or keeping it all in. What do you want?"

"I… I… Then why didn't she come?"

I was really confused now.

"What do you mean Nico?"

"Bianca. After she died, I… I tried summoning her, but she wouldn't come. Not until I was with Percy. If she didn't blame me then why didn't she come sooner?"

"Did you ask her?"

"Yeah…"

"And?" I pried.

"She said…" he hesitated and I hugged him closer. "She said she was hoping I would give up trying to talk to her. That I was mad at her. I wasn't, I don't think I was anyway. And how could I forget her? How could she expect me to…"

He had broken down crying again, he tried to tell me something else, but he was too distraught, so I kissed his forehead and whispered reassuring things in his ear. I saw the door open, and Percy, Annabeth, and the futures start to come in. I only shook my head slightly, not to alert Nico, and they thankfully got the message, and went to the common room.

"Nico, I need you to calm down and talk to me okay? Take a deep breath in, and out."

I could see him starting to calm down a little bit. So I pulled back and looked into his puffy, red, tear-filled eyes. Gods he looks so fragile.

"Nico, I think Bianca just wanted you to live your life, as happy and carefree as possible. She knows you won't forget about her, but she doesn't want you to mourn over her for the rest of your life. Nico, why does Bianca think you would be mad at her?"

"She, she said it was because she left me, to join the hunters. She left, and then died."

That last sentence had been Nico telling me exactly what I was expecting.

"I think you were mad at both of you Nico." He looked at me, confused. "You were mad at her because you felt she abandoned you. You mad at yourself because you think that she abandoned you because you don't matter. You think she joined the hunter's because she didn't care about you, and she wanted you to disappear from her life. Am I right?"

Nico didn't give a response right away. So I let him think about what I had just said, until I received a small nod.

"That's not true Nico. I know Bianca cared about you. Why else would she try to get you this?" I pointed at the figurine still clutched in his hand. "She knew the dangers, but she also knew you would love it. You know how she knew? Because she loved you. She loved you a lot Nico. Don't blame yourself for her death."

"She chose re-birth. She never told me, she just disappeared. If she loved me so much then WHY DID SHE LEAVE ME!?"

"Nico, she didn't leave you. She will never leave you. She's in your heart. And always will be. She loved you so much. Just like I do. So don't give up Nico. Don't cast yourself away from us. Don't think you don't matter to us."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

I could tell he was trying to fight back tears, so I pulled him into a short, but sweet, kiss, before hugging him fiercely.

"It's okay Nico, I forgive you. You can cry in front of me. Gods know how long you've been holding it in."

That opened the floodgates. Heart-wrenching sobs could be heard as he cried into my shoulder. We stayed like that for about 5 minutes, before I realized he cried himself to sleep. Knowing Percy and Annabeth would need their rest; I moved Nico to the cot and set him down. I tucked the blankets around his small frame and went to get a warm washcloth. I wiped the tearstains off his face and kissed his forehead.

"Get some rest, my Angel." I whispered to him.

AN: Wow long chapter! Okay how was that? Was it okay? I know that Nico was OOC, and I normally don't like to do that, but I figured that he never really got over Bianca, and after she chose to be re-born, it was even harder. So I thought it would turn into a great moment between Will and Nico. Next chapter, Sirius will be a free man, and maybe we will see a fight. Full moon won't be next chapter, but probably the one after. So if you have ideas for any chapters let me know. And let me know what you think of this chapter. I am kind of worried about it. It was a little hard to write, but I did my best, so I am always up for suggestions! Please review! They always brighten up my day! (No kidding, I basically check to see if I have new reviews about every 10 minutes after I post a new chapter) So, until next time!
