Previously on The Twice Blessed Child…

"I think you are going to have to get ahold of my family," I said

"Why?" Ashely asked

I pulled my arm away from my waist again it was still covered in blood, but the blood was mixed with a black substance.

"Because I'm going to be dead soon," I said

That's was the last thing I saw before everything went black.


Ashely's Pov:

Anastasia collapsed in front of us. I let a small scream which caused everyone to turn and look at me. I kneeled next to her as did the others. We were all quickly told to move out of the way so she could be taken to the medical cabin. We followed after her, the medic took one look at her.

"Dam harpies. I never thought I would see her on my table." the medic said

"What's the damage?" Alex asked

"Harpie venom. There's nothing I can do but make it painless. I would let her family know." the medic said

I broke down crying. Josh pulled me into a hug. We walked out of the medical cabin and to her cabin. Once we were in her cabin we all broke down crying.

"I don't want to be the that tells her family," I said

"You won't have to, Chiron or Dionysus well be making that call. We well all stay here by her side." Josette said

Once we had all stopped crying we moved her from the medical cabin to her cabin. The medic had given her two more days until the poison reached her heart and killed her.

Dionysus Pov:

Chiron and I were sitting in his office.

"I'll go tell her family," I said

"We can always transport her to them. I know it is against what we would normally do but…" Chiron said

"She not exactly a normal case," I said

We were silent for a while. I got up and headed to the door to leave. With help from one of the kids of Hermes, I was able to travel to England in an hour. It took me a while to find her house, it took a call to Hermes for me to actually find her house. I walked up and knocked on the door. The door was opened by a little weird looking thing.

"Um hello, I'm looking for Petunia Dursley," I said

"Follow me." the thing said

I walked into the house and followed the thing into what looked to be the sitting room. It motioned for me to sit and I did. A moment later a familiar-looking woman walked in.

"You're the man from Anastasia's camp." the woman said

"I am. I think you should call down Harry, and Dudley. As well as anyone else important to Anastasia." I said

She nods, she says a name and one of those weird things appears she tells him to go and get some people. A few more minutes pass before a group of people enter the room.

"I suggest you all take a seat," I said

They do as I say and all take a seat.

"As you all know Anastasia has been coming to our camp for a few years. I am under the impression that some of you know what we do at this camp." I said

All but two nod their heads yes. So I tell the two what the camp really is.

"Why are you telling us all this?" Harry asked

"She came back this morning from a mission. Just outside the entrance to the camp she and another camper were attacked by a group of harpies. She was scratched and the harpies venom is killing her. She will be dead by the end of tomorrow." I said

Everything that happened next was almost slow motion. One of the boys throws himself on who I think is his mother. Harry lets a small scream and covers his face with his hands. The two grown men look at each other and pull themselves into a hug and cry on each other's shoulders. I sit there and watch as this small family was slowly destroyed. Harry was the first to talk.

"Can we see her?" Harry asked

"Yes, and if you so wish we could bring her here," I said

"Bring her here. I know she has close friends there at camp if they want they are welcome to come as well." Harry said

I nod my head and get up to leave.

"I'm sorry. I'll be back shortly with her." I said

"No, you won't. I'll be coming with you to get her." Harry said

Harry's Pov:

She was right someone was going to die at camp, we just didn't know it was going to be her. I left with the man that had come and told us. We quickly made our way back to this camp. We arrived and I took the chance to look around. He leads me to a cabin.

"This is her cabin. She is in her room, as are her friends." the man said

I enter the cabin and walk towards the sound of crying. I enter the bedroom to see a group of people crying over Ana who lays motionless on the bed. I walk over to her and touch her arm which is cold. The others around her look up at me.

"You must be Harry." one of the girls said

I nod my head.

"I'm Ashely." the blonde said

I just smile at her.

"Are you here to take her with you?" a boy asked

"Yes, but if Dionysus gives permission you all can come as well," I said

They nod and leave the room to go and ask for permission to leave.

"Ana you can't leave me. Not now not after all that we've done or what we've yet to do." I said

I sat down and started to cry again. I grabbed ahold of her hand it was cold, but you could still feel the blood pumping in her veins. It was slow and almost not there. I picked her up and carried her out of the cabin. I walked to the exit and used my new magic to get us out of there and back to the house. I laid her down on her bed and left the room to get the others. They all came rushing in.

"She's so pale and so cold," Dudley said

"She's dying," Sirius said

"She's isn't even sixteen yet." Petunia said

"She told me once that most demi's don't live long. That most die before ever seeing their eighteenth birthday." Remus said

We all sat down around her, it was in silence. One of us would start crying again. There was a knock on the door and the elf opened it and told us a group of kids was downstairs wanting to see Mistress Ana.

"Send them up," I said

A moment passes and soon the door opens again and the group from before is now in the room. The blonde from before introduced everyone. She handed me something.

"It's for Ana to help with the pain," Ashely said

"Pain?" Dudley asked

"Yes, harpie venom is very painful. She is heavily sedated with pain medicine." Alex said

"How often does she need it?" Sirius asked

"Every two hours or when you can tell she is in pain," Josette said

I nod my head and give it to one of the elves. We decided that one of us would always be with her. Sirius and Remus took the first round.

Sirius's Pov:

All I've done is cry. All Remus has done is cry. She is dying she is going to be dead and gone from this world. Remus and I are sitting at her bedside and just watching her as she slowly dies in front of us. I brush some hair off her face and it's cold.

"She can't die Moony, she just can't," I said

"I don't want her to go either Padfoot but there is nothing we can do," Remus said

"I know," I said

We laid down on the bed next to her. Remus was on her left and I was on her right. We rolled over she was caged between us.

We had somehow fallen asleep, we were woken up by a screaming Anastasia. I quickly rolled out of bed, a few of the others came running in. I called the house elf that had pain medicine. The elf gave it to me but I didn't know what to do with it. The kids from her camp came running in. One of them took the medicine from me while the others held her down so the medicine could be given. Almost instantly she stopped screaming and was back to being silent and still. I started crying again.

"Why don't we all stay here with her." Petunia said

We all nod our heads. We stayed with her for the rest of the night. Tikki and Jon bought us dinner but none of us ate it. We just watched her as she slowly died. We had to give her some of the medicine a few more times throughout the night and into the morning. But that is where things started to get weird, her eyes fluttered under her eyelids. Her fingers started to twitch.

"Is that normal?" Remus asked

"No," Josette said

On Lookers Pov:

A moment passed and then nothing. She stopped everything. Her chest stopped rising her eyes stopped fluttering, and everything was still. No one in the room moved, the room was silent.

A scream broke the silence. It came from Sirius who threw himself on the now-dead Anastasia. Remus started to cry as well. He pulled Sirius into his arms and they cried into each other's arms. Harry took Sirius's spot and started crying over Anastasia. Petunia holds her son close to her chest. The group from camp cried with each other. That was the only sound you could hear in the room. The sound of crying.

"Come back Ana, you can't leave us," Harry yelled

"You have to come back," Harry whispered.

They continued to cry over her for another hour before her body glowed and disappeared. The room was once again filled with a scream and crying. They stayed like that a while longer before they left the room and headed downstairs.

Anastasia Pov:

The pain finally went away. As did the fog, once the fog was gone I was standing in front of an older looking man who was standing on a dock by a boat.

"Three to go across." the man said

I pull three drachmae from my pocket and hand it over to the man. He climbs into the boat and I follow. Once we start across the water I know that I have died as the river we are on is the Archeron, which makes the man Charon the Ferryman. We cross in silence till we make it to the other side.

"He is waiting for you in the main room," Charon said

"Thank you, Charon," I said

I climbed out of the boat and made my way into the huge building that looked to be made of stone with magma flowing through it. I found a man in what looked to be a large living room.

"Hello," I said

The man turned around.

"Hello Anastasia please come take a seat." the man said

I stepped up and took a seat in front of him.

"It is very nice to finally meet you, Anastasia." The man said

"Your Hades correct?" I asked

"Yes, I am," Hades said

"Then it is nice to meet you as well," I said

I played his voice over in my head as it sounded familiar I just couldn't place from where.

"Do you remember what happened?" Hades asked

"Another demi and I were taking a new camper to the camp and we were attacked. We were almost to safety when a group of harpies attacked from the side sending us flying back into a group that was behind us. I landed on one and the claw poisoned me." I said

Hades nodded.

"This wasn't the first time you've faced a harpy was it?" Hades asked

"No sir, I faced some last year. I was scratched then too but I was lucky enough that the harpy hadn't had its poison flowing." I said

Once again Hades nods his head. We sat in silence, I was the one that broke the silence.

"So what happens now?" I asked

"I'm not quite sure yet. I'm going to give you a few options. But first I want you to tell me what the harpy said." Hades said

I told him how the harpy had cut me and caused me to bleed and that she had licked the blood off her claws and said…

"My Master is the great ruler of the Underworld, the God of the Dead and Wealth. The Rich One. The Silent One. The Hospitable One. Brother of Poseidon and Zeus. Son of Kronos and Rhea. That's what the harpy said after she tasted the blood. She said that I tasted like you..." I said

"I heard that you yelled at Chiron about getting a hold of your mother to talk about what that could have meant. I may not be your mother but I have the answers you seek." Hades said

"You do?" I asked

"Yes. The reason the harpy said you tasted like me is that in a sense you are me. Your mother and I had an affair. You aren't a demi-god. You are a goddess, you are the daughter of Hecate Goddess of Magic, and me God of the Dead." Hades said

I just looked at him.

"Okay, so things are starting to make sense now. The ability to control monsters, the voices in my head, the control over the shadows. That's all from you." I said

"Yes, and there will be more to come. If you so choose." Hades said

"What do you mean? I'm dead." I said

"True but you died a demi-god. You could go back to a Goddess, the daughter of the Goddess of Magic and the God of Death. Or you could stay here with me or travel up to Olympus to be with your mom." Hades said

I thought about what he said. Being "dead" would be easier than fighting for my life all the time. But the thought of leaving Harry to deal with everything by himself didn't sit right. It also hurt to think about leaving Remus and Sirius.

"I know that look," Hades said

"What look?" I asked

"You've fallen in love, I had the look the first time I ever looked at Persephone. For me, it was a look of obsession but you, yours is a look of love." Hades said

"I would go back up but I don't think I could handle watching anyone I care for die," I said

Hades looked at me for a moment.

"You love these two people?" Hades asked

"I do," I said

"Don't worry when the time comes you will know what to do, for them and anyone else," Hades said

I just looked at him. I went to say something but he beat me to it.

"You are more than welcomed to come back down here whenever you want. And unlike your mother, you can use Iris call to get a hold of me. I'm going to send you back up to your friends and loved ones." Hades said

Hades waved his hand I felt hot and then I found myself standing back in my room. I looked down and noticed I was standing in a white dress with long sleeves. I left my room and headed to where I heard crying. I found everyone in the living room. I stepped into the room and just watched them cry I didn't know what to say. It would seem I didn't have to as a Jon popped into the room.

"Mistress," Jon said

Everyone in the room turned to look my direction they saw me standing there.

"Ana, is that you?" Harry asked

"Yes," I said

Harry shot off his chair and tackled me to the ground in a hug. He was soon joined by the others.

"How are you alive?" Dudley asked

"Hades sent me back," I said

"You meet Hades?" Josh asked

"I did," I said

They all got up off the floor. But I was still being hugged tight by Sirius and Remus. We got up off the floor and sat down on the couch. We talked to each other for a while.

"Are the two new campers, and Blake okay?" I asked

"Yeah, the two new campers were a little shaken up and Blake has a few scratches but she is fine," Ashely said

"I'm glad," I said

We talked some more before the demi's stood up.

"We are going to have to head back to camp. We won't tell them anything. If you want you can come back to camp when you feel up to it or you can stay dead." Alex said

"Thanks, guys, but no matter what I will still call you guys," I said

"We know, and if you don't we will be calling you," Josette said

"Tikki," I said

There was a pop and Tikki was standing in front of us.

"Mistress it is great to see you back to yourself. What can Tikki de doing for you?" Tikki asked

"I'm not back to myself not yet at least. Can you take my friends here back to Camp Half-Blood." I said

"Of course Mistress," Tikki said

She walked over to my friends and told them to grab ahold of each other than with a pop they were gone. I turned to look at Harry.

"We still have to deal with Jr," I said

"I forgot about him with your whole near-death thing," Harry said

"It wasn't a near-death thing. It was death. She died and now she's back." Dudley said

The room went quiet.

"Let's not talk about that anymore okay. I died I'm not dead anymore so let's move on." I said

Everyone nodded their heads.

"I'm going to get changed into something less godly and then we can go see Jr," I said

I left the room and headed up to my room I entered my room and looked around. I called a house elf.

"I'm leaving for the day and when I come back to see to it that the only thing left in this room are my clothes," I said

"Of course Mistress." the elf said

I grabbed some clothes and headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower. Once I was done with my shower I got dressed and threw my hair up into a ponytail and headed back downstairs.

"You ready to go to Harry?" I asked

"Sure," Harry said

I moved over to Harry.

"Oh, and the elves will be emptying my room. As it is filled with bad juju." I said

Petunia nodded her head "Sounds like a good idea."

"Enzo," I said

There was a pop and Enzo was standing in front of me.

"What can Enzo be doing for Mistress?" Enzo asked

"Please take us to the Manor," I said

Enzo grabbed our hands and with a pop, we were gone. Soon we appeared in the manor.

"Do you know how our little friend is doing?" I asked

"We are keeping him well taken care of just as you asked," Enzo asked

"Has he been giving you any trouble?" I asked

"No, but it helps that he can't use his magic in the cells," Enzo said

"Does that mean we can't use our magic?" Harry asked

"Of course not. It is keyed into the person who was put into the cell." Enzo said

"Okay," I said

We follow Enzo down to the cells.

"We have two different types of cells. We have the cells that look like cells and some that are more room styled. Mistress Morgana sometimes liked to treat her prisoners nicely and other times not so nice. We currently have your prisoners in an in-between cell. It doesn't look like a cell but at the same time it is not as nice as some of the other cells." Enzo said

We follow Enzo we walk up to a cell door.

"Your prisoner is in here," Enzo said

"Thank you, I will call you if we require anything," I said

Enzo nods his head and with a pop, he is gone. I unlock the door Harry and I enter the cell. Jr is sitting in one of the couches that are in the room. He sees us enter.

"Well out of all the prisons I've been in this one has to be the nicest," Jr said

"How many prisons have you been in?" Harry asked

"Azkaban put there by father. Then I was a prisoner in my father's house while he had me under the Imperious curse. And now this one." Jr said

"This isn't a prison it's just a cell in one of my houses," I said

Jr didn't say anything he just looked at me.

"May I ask why am I here? Why didn't you just let Dumbledore and the traitor turn me back into Azkaban?" Jr asked

"Because out of all Voldemort's followers you are currently his favorite," I said

Jr. shoots up from his chair.

"Don't speak his name," Jr. yelled

I glared at Jr. and he fell to his knees in pain.

"Don't you ever again raise your voice at me. I'm not a child nor am I afraid of you. I will call him whatever I want." I said

I let the pain stay with him a little bit longer before I pulled it back. He let out a breath of relief.

"And here we were thinking of letting you go," Harry said

"You can still do that," Jr. said

Harry and I looked at each other.

"We were hoping that you would take us to Voldemort," Harry said

"I can't take you to him. I don't know where he is. Even if I did appearing in front of him without being summed is a one-way ticket to being on the other end of his wand." Jr. said

"Leave all of that to us. All we need is your dark mark." I said

Jr looked at the both of us, looking us both over.

"Fine, but if I get cruicoed I'm blaming you," Jr. said

"Enzo," I said

There was a pop and Enzo was standing in front of us.

"We will be taking him with us please let the others know," I said

Enzo nods and with a pop, he is gone. We leave the dungeon and head upstairs. I see Jr looking around the house.

"Where are we?" Jr. asked

"LeFey Pendragon Manor," I said

Jr looks at me with wide eyes.

"Now I get why the Minister is scared of you with a title like that," Jr. said

"That isn't my only title. Now hold out your arm." I said

He holds out his arm. I lay my hand over his dark mark and push magic into it. It heats up and Jr lets out a hiss of pain.

"Harry grab on," I said

Harry moves and grabs hold and then with a pop we are gone.

We reappear in what looks to be Malfoy Manor by the picture hanging over the fireplace. In less than a minute there are wands pointed at us.

"Good evening Malfoy family we are here to see the Dark Lord. And before we argue we know he is here because if he wasn't we wouldn't be here." I said

Narcissa and Lucius exchange a look. They don't get to make a decision as soon the double doors at the end of the hall opens and in walks Voldemort.

"Why am I not surprised to see you two. I also take it you were the ones messing with my mark." Voldemort said

"We could leave and we could take Jr here with us," Harry said

Voldemort looks and sees Barty Jr. sitting on the floor by us.

"Barty I would have thought they thrown you back in Azkaban," Voldemort said

"They planned to but these two stopped them. Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall believe I knocked them out and escaped using the floo. But I've been in the basement of the Le Fey Pendragon Manor." Jr. said

"So you weren't lying. You are who you say you are." Lucius said

"Of course I am," I said

"What are you two talking about?" Narcissa asked

"You know how at the end of Draco's second year I was kicked off the Board of Governs. And I couldn't throw Dumbledore out because I didn't have all the signatures. Well…" Lucius said and made a motion towards me.

I simply waved and smiled.

"We aren't here to talk about Lucius shortcomings, we are here to talk to him," Harry said

"Follow me," Voldemort said

We followed Voldemort out of the room and down a hallway to a door that opened and lead to a study. He sat down behind the desk and Harry and I sat in the chairs on the other side of the desk.

"What do you want to talk about?" Voldemort asked

"About us not standing against you in the war," Harry said

Shock flashed across Voldemort's face but as quick as it was there it was gone.

"Now why would the savior of the light want to not fight?" Voldemort asked

"Because all I've ever been is a weapon for them to use. Plus if I did stand against you and the light side won what would stop them from changing their minds like they always do about me. Take the second year for example. At the beginning of the year, I was Harry Potter golden boy, chosen one. Then the attacks started and I was the Heir of Slytherin the next dark lord. Then by the end of the year, I was back to being the golden boy, the hero. Don't even get me started on this year." Harry said

Voldemort just looked at Harry.

"So you would be what neutral?" Voldemort asked

"At the moment we are neutral and will stay that way unless something happens that would push us, father, into the dark," I said

Voldemort nods his head and continued to stare at us.

"Something is different. What aren't you saying?" Voldemort asked

"Nothing that you need to worry about," I said

"How are we supposed to get ahold of you?" Harry asked

"I'll get ahold of you," Voldemort said

"Okay and feel free to keep Jr. But do be aware that his father had him under the imperious curse for a very long time." I said

I grab Harry's arm and we apparitated out and back home. We arrived back home to Dudley handing us the Daily Prophet that had an article slandering us. Calling us liars about Voldemort being back. Saying we were in league with Dumbledore who was saying these lies because he wanted to be Minister.

"Well, Harry are ready to make the first move?" I asked

"Yes," Harry said

Sirius and Remus barge into the room.

"My Marauder senses are tingling are we scheming?" Sirius asked

I smiled at the two of them.

"Yes, we are," Harry said

Sirius and Remus both get these evil smirks.

"We need to get Harry and I in front of the Wizengamot," I said

"The easiest and fastest is magic in front of a muggle," Remus said

"Then I guess we need to go find a muggle," I said

"Then let's go," Harry said

We got up and the left the house and walked down the street we were going through a tunnel when a cold wind blows through the street, causing everyone to shiver. Harry and I both exhale and we see our breath. The street lights flicker and die.

"What is happening?" We hear a muggle ask

We look up to see that someone had entered the tunnel. We whip around and see gliding as smooth as death over the street, tattered robes drifting in the wind, comes a dementor. Harry and I turn to run but another dementor floats at the end of the tunnel. Harry and I both draw our wands.

"I guess this works too," I said

The dementor nears the muggle at the end of the tunnel who has nearly died of the fear coursing through his veins. We raise our wands.

"Expecto Patronum." Harry and I say

The dementors turn and disappear. We head over to the muggle, I bend down and check for a pulse. I find one and give him fake memories of what happened and then I call the police.

"Let's go," I said

We turn and head back to the house. When we get back home I sit down the couch. I'm exhausted I've used to much magic after just waking up.

"Jon," Harry said

Pop!

"What can…" Jon stops and looks at us and then pop he is gone

Pop!

Jon then hands us each some chocolate. Remus, Sirius, Petunia, and Dudley enter the room.

"What happened?" Dudley asked

"We were attacked by dementors. Good thing Remus taught us that spell or we would be dead." Harry said

"But in other news, we did magic in front of a muggle," I said

I was too tired to even eat my chocolate.

"Ana are you okay?" Petunia asked

"Yeah I've just used to much magic since waking up I just need some sleep," I said

Sirius walks over to me and picks me up.

"Then let's get you to bed," Sirius said

He walks upstairs with me still in his arms. He puts me in his and Remus's room since mine was now empty. Remus had followed us upstairs. Sirius laid me down and covered me up.

"You know you scared us. We lost you today." Sirius said

"But I'm fine now. You won't have to worry about losing me anytime soon." I said

"Won't you have to go back to camp?" Remus asked

"No, my friends won't talk about what happened. Plus Camp Half-Blood is for half-bloods and I'm not one." I said

They both just looked at me but they didn't ask. I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.
