I just wanted to say, if you're reviewing and you disagree with something I've written in this story, please tell me why. I know time can make a big impact on the length of you're review, but if you do have the time, please tell me. Also, feel free to answer my questions: what Hogwarts house would the PJO kids be in and what godly parents would the HP have. Some of you said Leo would be in Ravenclaw, please expand on that.

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HP.


Luke Castellan vs Draco Lucius Malfoy

Who Would Win In A Fight?

I'm going to give two scenarios. The reason being: would either of them kill? Maybe. So, one of these examples will be where Draco would kill Luke and Luke would kill Draco and the other will be where neither will kill.

Killing Fight

Is it possible to deflect a spell on a sword? Or a Celestial Bronze sword? Maybe. Even with all of Luke's skills as one of the most skilled swordsmen and just demigod abilities in general (speed, agility, durability, etc.), I still don't think he'd win. With a well-aimed Killing Curse from Draco, Luke would die. (Let's not bring up the fact Luke is already dead.) And if Luke had been able to dodge/deflect all of Draco's spells, Protego, the Shield Charm, from Draco would stop Luke. Then, Avada Kedarva.

Non-Killing Fight

Pretty sure Luke is better at hand-to-hand combat than Draco. Draco's stomped Harry's face before, but does that take too much skill? Draco probably knows what Sectumsempra does, mainly because it was used on him, so that would immobilize Luke.

So, in both fights, Draco wins.


Who's Cause Was Better?

It's fair to say both boys were... evil. Ish. Draco became a Death Eater and Luke became Kronos' 'stepping stone'.

But... who really had no choice as to what they did?

Draco: We know that Draco became a Death Eater in the Half-Blood Prince. On the Hogwarts Express, Draco was bragging about this to his fellow Slytherins. His left forearm even branded the Dark Mark, something that some veteran Death Eaters can only dream of. Draco was essential to Voldemort's plan to infiltrate Hogwarts, mostly because of his status as a student. Especially with the help of Severus Snape, who was, technically, working for Voldemort at the time. After Draco completed part of the mission, utilising a pair of Vanishing Cabinets, he then moved on the accomplish his second task: killing Albus Dumbledore. But, he got kind of chicken in the end. He disarmed Dumbledore, but eventually, Snape had to carry out the deed.

When Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco met again at Malfoy Manor (The Deathly Hallows), it's safe to say Draco was trying to spare Harry. Sort of. Just before the Snatchers caught the trio, Hermione shot Harry with a Stinging Jinx, in the hope that this would prevent the Snatchers, or anyone else, from identifying Harry Potter. If you haven't had the suspicion before, Draco probably recognised Ron, Hermione and especially Harry. I'm guessing Draco realised his hands had a lot of blood on them already and didn't want their deaths on his conscience*.

Anyway, I, personally, don't think Draco was even halfway to decent as a person. Yeah, he saved the trio, but he also bullied all 3 of them, mostly for things they had no control over (Ron for being poor, Hermione for being a Muggle-born, Harry... for a lot of reasons). You can say he turned into a Death Eater because of pressure from his family and, really, the whole community of Death Eaters, but his personality was intolerable even before and he liked his status as a Death Eater at first.

Luke: Luke started showing his evil side after that visit from his father at his mother's house, when he, Thalia and Annabeth were still on the run. He started resenting all the gods for not helping their children and he began to be reckless when the group came across any monster. 5 years later, he finally let loose and revealed to Percy Jackson that he was trying to resurrect Kronos.

Luke joined Kronos' ranks and eventually became Kronos'... body and mind. Kronos controlled Luke and his body. Luke fought Kronos mentally and regained control over his body, as shown at the end of The Last Olympian. Luke first showed signs of trying to back out before (Maybe, I think) the Labyrinth. He came to Annabeth's house and proposed to run away, away from the gods, and away from the world, just like the old days. Of course, Annabeth denied him, even thought about killing him. She described that Luke looked scared. He would be used as a 'stepping stone' to Kronos. Being used as a temporary body until the Lord of Time can regain his own conscience.

Anyway, which one really had no choice? And, yeah, they both dug themselves too deep, and that was their fault, but they also started regretting their decision. Then again, who can't feel guilty when you hurt people endlessly? Ultimately, I think Luke's decision was more of his decision than Draco's. Draco was raised by Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, it's impossible for him to turn out to be sunshine and rainbows. If Draco had rejected Voldy's plan, Voldemort would've likely killed the whole Malfoy family and find another willing Slytherin. Not saying what either of these 2 young men did was right, but they were both under heavy influence.


*Look it up, people. It's true!

That's all for this chapter guys. I have many more ideas, so you guys can expect some more from me. Maybe...
