Chapter 24

The Sudden Realization

Hellooooooooooooooooooo! I'm so sorry that I didn't update on Monday, I was really tired, but now I'm going to go back to my regular updating schedule… I'm also pushing the Percabeth wedding to chapter 27, because I need a bunch of planning time… Also, I'm not going to respond to my reviews anymore, because I have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many of them, and I love them all! I will still read them, so don't stop reviewing!

Song of the chapter: Into the Unknown by Panic! At the Disco (not the Frozen one)

Random fact about me: I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE scarves!

Nic nie posiadam, a gdybym to zrobił, nie opublikowałbym tego w tej aplikacji ...

Harry's POV

(Play 'Into the Unknown' by Panic! At the Disco NOW!)

I followed this random, extremely beautiful woman into the Room of Requirement, and I honestly had no idea what I was expecting. And what I did see truly surprised me.

I walked into this entirely pink and white room with some lacy chairs and tables, with biscuits and chamomile tea, with lace EVERYWHERE. She smiled sweetly, and said "Sit down, my dear."

I cautiously sat down, and she handed me soem tea and she said "We need to talk, Harry. Now, what have you been told about how your parents died?" I looked at her, confused, and told her my life story.

While I was talking about seeing them in the Mirror of Erised in my first year, I realized that I felt that I was being controlled, like the Imperius Curse. Wait…. I remember that feeling with Piper!

I paused and said "Uh… are you controlling me?" She smiled sadly and responded "You refused to tell me anything, and I needed to know what you have been told, and so yes, I am kind of (kind of) controlling you. I hope you will forgive me."

It was hard not to, but I still needed an explanation on why she was asking me this. "Why do you ask?" She smiled, and I noticed that her eyes were slowly changing colors, and so were her facial features.

"More importantly, who ARE you?!" I asked, watching her eyes change from blue to amber to green. She smiled (I know, AGAIN) and said "I am your true mother."

Percy's POV

"Aphrodite took your friend, soooooo…" I told Ron and Hermione, and they started yelling. Draco started comforting Hemione, and Ron was depressed that he didn't have a girlfriend.

He called Lavender and said "Uhh…. could you come over, and give me some company?" I made an angry noise, like, are we not here? AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Lavender came over, and since she knew we were all demigods, we decided that, YOU KNOW IT, ANOTHER ROUND OF TRUTH! OR! DAAAAAAAAAARE! (In the normal truth or dare format! ENJOY!)

Lavender: So, Draco, Truth or Dare.

Draco: Uhh…. truth.

Lavender: How long have you and Hermione been dating, and Ron didn't know?

Draco: Um…

Ron: *extremely angry glare*

Draco: Like… 3 months?

Ron: *yelling*

Draco: *wanting to change the subject* Well, uh, Jason, truth or dare?

Jason: *smiles* Dare.

Draco: Grab Leo, and fly around the room while he has lighted himself on fire, and yell "FLAME ON!"

Jason: Gladly!

Jason: *puts on fireproof gloves and grabs Leo*

Jason: *starts levitating and Leo lights himself on fire*

Leo: FLAME ON!

Jason: *sets down* OK then, Ron, truth or dare

Ron: Um, dare.

Jason: I dare you to ask someone in this room (who's single) out on a date.

Ron: Uhh…. OK?

All of the boys in the room: *cover their girl(or boy)friends*

Ron: *walks up to Lavender*

Ron: Will you go out with me?

Lavender: *squeals* Of COURSE!

Then they snuggled, and we sat there awkwardly until Ron said "Alright, Grover, truth or dare."

Grover: Um, truth.

Ron: Give us a huge secret that you've not told anyone. Besides Percy.

Grover: Um, I don't really have a lot of secrets…

Juniper: *whisper whisper whisper*

Grover: *brightens up* Oh yeah!

Grover: Uhm….. We have an announcement.

Then they stood up, and I was confused, because I don't think he had told me this. He put a hand on her stomach, and we all gasped. Juniper said "We're having twins!" (I'm sorry if that's cheesy, but I couldn't think of anything else…)

Grover: Sadie, truth or dare.

Sadie: Dare!

Grover: I dare you to host a god!

Everyone: ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sadie: OK!

Carter: Sadie, no!

Sadie: *inhabits a god*

Carter:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Everyone: *confusion*

Carter: *panicking*

Sadie: Okay, Magnus, truth or dare.

Magnus: Dare! (I know that I've done dare a lot, but I couldn't think of any good truths, so…. yeah.)

Sadie: Make your talking sword sing Katy Perry!

Alex: Oh no, that is a VERY bad idea, you do not want to do that…

Magnus: Oh well, I'm doing it anyway.

Magnus: *tugs on a rune on his neck and out pops a sword*

Jack: So, what are we going to do today?

Magnus: I hate saying this, but…. Could you please song Katy Perry for a dare?

Jack: Gladly!

Jack: *sings Firework, and puts on a light show*

Magnus: OK, next person please.

We continued playing for a while, but after Grover's announcement, no one really felt like playing, and I remembered that we were supposed to be planning the wedding, so I pulled Annabeth aside, and we started planning with Piper.

Harry's POV

"So, wait… you're my mom?!" I screamed, as I tumbled backwards into a pillar. She whipped her hand and I flew back into my chair. I gasped "Are you one of the Americans?! ARE YOU A DEATH EATER?!"

She laughed, and said "Noo…. not exactly. See, I'm Piper's mom, and your mom." I was so dam confused. "But, wait, my mom was a witch, and she DIED! How is it possible that you're alive!" Then she went into a super long and complicated explanation about how she was legally one of my parental guardians.

"So, on January 30, 1960 (that's when Lily was born, I looked it up.), Zeus found out about a…. Fun time that I had in one of his temples with Ares. So, as punishment, he sent me down to the mortal world as Lily Evans. After consulting Hecate, he decided not to leave me completely defenseless, and so he gave me magical abilities. I had a sister too, but she didn't have magic."

Then she took a deep breath, and continued "I grew up in a nice neighborhood, and then met this boy named Severus Snape. He had a HORRIBLE sense in fashion, but he just looked so defenseless, so I befriended him. I could tell that he had fallen in love with me, but I didn't love him back, so that relationship was destined to fail."

I was so bewildered, and I think she could tell that, but after taking a sip of tea, she continued. "Then, when I went to Hogwarts, I met this mortal named James. He was an asshole at first, but once I got to know him, he was the sweetest thing I had ever met. He was kind, considerate (to some people) and super funny, everything I wanted in a guy. I even asked Zeus if this was actually Ares sent down to Earth in mortal form. He wasn't."

I was still so confused, but she acted like I didn't exist, and kept telling me her life stories. "In sixth year we started dating, and eventually got married. We bought a nice home, but the thoughts of this one Dark Lord kept creeping up on me. When I found out that I was pregnant with you, I knew we had to do something."

She wiped away a tear, and I noticed that she now had orange hair and green eyes - she looked - no, was my mother. Then she went on to the most tragic parts of the story.

"On Halloween night, when you have barely turned one, Voldemort came to our house. James bravely tried to fight him off, and give me more time to escape with you, but the Dark Lord struck him down, and advanced on where we were hiding."

I was daydreaming about their house when she said "And murdered me. I died protecting you with my love, and it paid off. As the goddess of love, and because I was a witch, that gives you extra powers, because,..."

Then she said, morphing into Hagrid, "Yer a demigod, Harry." I laughed, but then said "Wait. You were in mortal form when you had me, so does that make me a vicus-god*?"

She laughed and said "Well, that would technically make you one, but Zeus debated with the Birth gods, and we were able to genetically modify you to make you a full demi-god, and because of that, it granted you a couple powers that normal demigods don't have, like telekinesis."

I was gaping at my newly discovered powers when Percy and the rest of the demigods burst in and Piper said "MOM! Why are you here?!" Harry looked astounded. "Wait… she's your mom too?"

Piper said "You're my half-brother?" Then we all looked at Aphrodite, and she had the body of a blond, pregnant woman. Percy paled significantly.

"What is it, Percy?" Percy said, while hopping a little "When I see a pregnant woman, for some reason I need to pee. So, if you'll excuse me, I need to use the facilities. (there you go, Elefunt wuz here. Are you satisfied with the dare product?!)"

Then he ran off, and Aphrodite disappeared, leaving us standing there awkwardly in the Room of Requirement. Piper said "Yo, Harry, want to come to the Argo II and have an explanation sleepover? Leo makes some amazing tacos."

I nodded and asked myself mentally 'What could possibly go wrong?' Ah, my naive self. Boy, was I wrong.
