Chapter 37: The Argo II Returns

Dumbledore's POV

The next morning wasn't even dawning when someone pounded on my door. Getting out of bed I went to see who it was and found that it was Minerva.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"There's a ship," she told me, "And it's floating."

Looking at her strangely I followed her down to the Entrance Hall and looked out the window. Sure enough there was a floating ship and people were getting off. The small party turned out to be seven teens, a man in a wheelchair, a girl that looked around Harry's age, and a small child.

"You must be Headmaster Dumbledore," the man said, "I'm Chiron!"

"You're the guardian that I've been hearing about," I told him. "Welcome to Hogwarts."

"Thanks," he said. "These are the seven that fought against Gaia in the giant war, this is Rachel, she's our Oracle, and this is Lily Snape."

"I'm seven," the girl said, showing seven fingers.

"Snape, she's not related to Severus is she?" I asked him.

"That she would be," said a woman's voice and I turned to see a woman approaching us.

She wore dark clothes and reminded of Severus way too much.

"This is Hecate, goddess of magic."

"Would you all like to stay here until-."

"We can only stay for a couple of hours," Chiron said. "Lily here will be staying with her mortal father. I'm sure that Severus will fawn over her. I'm here to pick up my wayward campers."

"Of course," I said. "We'll follow me and I'll let them know that you're here."

Ginny's POV

I woke up to the sound of Lavender screaming like a banshee. Looking out the window I saw Argo II. I couldn't believe it, they were here. I raced out of the dorm and saw that Andromeda was ahead of me. We almost ran down a Hufflepuff that was holding some books that looked like her textbooks. Upon entering the entrance hall I saw Annabeth. The daughter of Athena was busy paying attention to all the arches.

"Anne," I cried out and she jumped, but smiled when she saw who it was.

"Andromeda, there you are," she said. "Ginny!"

Massive hug time.

"Sorry about us not being dressed but Lavender screamed and she isn't even in my dorm," I told her.

"We arrived early," Annabeth said. "So why do you both go back up there and get dressed."

"I'll let Harry know that you're here," I told her and we hurried back to our dorm.

Ten minutes later we were all in the Entrance Hall, Chiron in his fake form. I could tell that Sirius didn't want Harry to go, but Harry was continuing to be insistent. I saw Snape holding a little girl, all smiles.

"He promises to take good care of her," Annabeth told me.

"Who is she?" I asked.

"His daughter and Harry's sister," Annabeth answered.

"Why do I have a funny feeling that she's going to be a monster when she starts here," Andromeda complained.

"At least we won't be around," she said.

"Okay, we all need to leave," Chiron told us. "They'll write to everyone."

"I can't wait to fight a newbie," I said.

We all laughed.

"Ginny," my mother called out and I saw her standing near the floating ship. I had to wait until I was there to hear what she had to say. "I don't know what's wrong with you. But don't you come back to our house."

"Hay," Harry said, "Why are you telling her that she can't come back."

"I don't want some demigod in my house," she snarled.

"Well then I won't come around either," he snarled and stormed up the ramp.

"I'm afraid that you don't have any choice," I told her. "Sorry, mother, but I'm coming back."

She glared at me but I didn't care. I had Ares on my side, though I did wonder why he hadn't shown up. Maybe he wanted me to fight this battle on my own. Andromeda put a hand on my shoulder and I felt better. I had friends and that's all that mattered.

"You can stay with us," Sirius told me.

"Thanks," I said.

Everyone waved goodbye to us and Leo, don't know how he survived, pulled up the anchor. The little girl waved at us and I wondered if Snape knew what he was getting himself into. Soon we left the school behind and I, for one, was glad. It was time to go back to Camp Half-Blood and be around people that wanted us. I looked at Harry who smiled at me.

Even though he had turned into a butt during the term, he had changed without that Horcrux inside of him. I didn't know what was going to happen when we got back to the States but I hoped that it was the usual demigod trouble. That's the only trouble that I really wanted to face right now.

Andromeda's POV

"I hope that you told that Snape fellow what to expect," Annabeth said to me.

"Of course I did," I said. "I'm not a sick monster."

"So how was England?" she asked. "I mean, without the whole monster, dead people, and other stuff?"

"Snobby," I answered. "I still can't believe that Ginny's mother disowned her."

Annabeth sighed and said, "I guess she couldn't take having a demigod daughter."

"I guess," I said. "It was just sad."

"So do you think that she'll come back?" Annabeth asked me. "I mean, the castle is so awesome."

I grinned at her and said, "I'm sure that she will. After all, she's almost done with her education."

"What about you?" she asked.

"No, I'm going back to Salem Academy," I told her. "I have had enough of people hating me because of whom my mother was and not based on my own actions."

She nodded and asked, "Was your father happy for you?"

"Yes, he is," I said, glad to be able to say it. "Ginny told me as much."

"Glad to hear it," she said. "Oh Nico is over there. Do you want to have a word with him?"

"Sure, want to hear what happened to Tom," I said, "All I did was drop off his sorry butt."

She nodded and went over to Nico. A couple of minutes later he walked over and smiled at me. I gave him a hug and he said, "It was strange not having you at camp."

"I know," I said. "So what happened to Tom after I dropped him off?"

"Dad sent him to Tartarus," he said. "Said that he didn't like it when people defied him. I know that he was mad but he even scared me."

"Dad can scare most people," I reminded him. "I'm just glad this quest is over. I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved seeing new places but this thing almost killed me."

"I heard that you had problems."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Problems isn't even the right word for it. Everyone hated me because of whom my mother was and didn't even give me a fair chance. I had to summon hellhounds on a kid that hated me because my mother had put his parents into some hospital."

"Sorry to hear that," he said. "Dad said that you were Tom's punishment."

"I sure was," I said, being proud about all the insanity that I had sent his way, and mother's way. "Oh and don't even get me started on golden statue boy."

"Midus," he said and I nodded. "Gods, you had it worst than when Leo, Piper, and Jason faced him. I thought he had gone back to Tartarus."

"Nope," I said. "But I had some demigods that had my back and the staff as well. So that was a plus."

Nico nodded and then Percy came over and Nico left. I knew that Nico was having issues with being gay and I felt for him. Percy smiled at me and said, "You managed to drag me away from learning."

"Have you found a collage?"

"We're going to New Rome and learn," Annabeth said.

"That's great," I said. "Let's hope nothing else happens."

"Trust me, things have been quiet since the giants and Gaia were defeated," he said. "So how was learning magic?"

"Trust me, Percy, it had its moments."

He grinned and said, "Oh I believe that, totally."

And I knew that he did. As they walked away I turned to the direction where Hogwarts had been and thought over what had happened. Things had moved too quickly for my taste but now it was all over. One thing was for certain, I never wanted to see Hogwarts again. Though, I must admit, Professor Dumbledore had been very nice. I had a funny feeling that I would see him again one day.

I just hoped that it was on better terms.

THE END!

A/N: Well the story is finally over. I hope that you enjoyed the story and thanks for the reviews. I know that I made some mistakes in this story and I'm sorry. Like not putting a bashing warning. I fixed that with the other chapters before this one. The next one has Hermione taking Harry's place as the one that survived the Killing Curse. Trust me, it's got a bash warning.
