Prompt: Time Travel

Something was wrong with the Athena and Apollo cabins. The entire camp knew, but no one wanted to broach that topic with those specific half-bloods for fear of taking a book or arrow to the head.

Heck, even Nico couldn't get Will to talk about anything. And that was saying something, considering how much of a chatterbox the son of Apollo was on a regular day.

It wasn't until the two cabins had a joint archery session that the campers found out what had been aggravating their fellow campers.

The entire practice had been filled with grumbling and whispered threats. It was disconcerting to say the least.

"Take that, Joanne." One of them said after nailing one of the training dummies between the eyes.

"Flipping John Tiffany and Jack Thorne. Couldn't leave well enough alone."

"Go ahead, ignore canon, don't care about your fan base."

"I think we can all agree that we want back pre-Twitter J.K."

"No one asked for this. No one wanted this."

While they were distracted, a kid from Hermes cabin, Rob, snuck into their cabins.

Near the door of the Athens cabin sat a pile of slightly charred books. Having been burnt off, the author and most of the title was completely illegible. The other word discernible was Cursed.

Rob headed over to Apollo cabin next. There he found the same pile of books, though instead of being burnt this batch had a concerning amount of knives and arrows protruding from them.

Curious, he opened the book to see the title, and he groaned upon seeing it.

"This is seriously what they're so mad about? Idiots. Total, complete nerds."

That night Percy and the other Cabin leaders called a camp-wide meeting. All of the campers arrived down at the amphitheater right after dinner had ended.

"I think we all know why we're here." Percy called out to the half-bloods, his voice amplified using a trinket Leo had invented for these kinds of things.

"You guys," he started, pointing to the Athena and Apollo cabins. "have got some issues. You all have been in the worst moods I've ever seen, and I'm dating Annabeth."

"WATCH IT, SEAWEED BRAIN."

The dark-haired boy winced slightly at his girlfriend's angry tone. "Sorry, Wise Girl. Anyways, we found out why you all are so mad.

So lemme ask you all a question. What is so infuriating about this book? Seriously, you all act as if the author declared war against you or something."

"They practically did." Growled out a daughter of Athena.

"I still don't see the big deal here."

One son of Apollo stood up, ready to explain everything to the whole camp.

"Y'all don't understand because you're not nerds, but it's a huge thing. First off, it's a sequel that literally no one asked for.

The author completely ignored canon. COMPLETELY. Not only did she ignore one of the key ideas of an object she created, but she ignored the plot in general.

It was like the plot of a very bad rom-com. It was a simple, simple misunderstanding that could have easily been cleared up if Harry had just explained to Amos you can't use a freaking time-turner to raise the dead. But noooo.

Then there's the whole thing with Voldemort's daughter. Now how the Hades would she be able to trick that many people into thinking she was Amos's niece?

Actually, let me backtrack with that. Why would Voldemort have a child, let alone one with Bellatrix Lestrange. Also how did she find out her backstory? I know it says that she was told by Rodolphus Lestrange, but how could that have happened if he was locked away in Azkaban?

But this isn't even the crux of the matter. No, it's the fact that Rowling included time travel. I mean, yes, she introduced it in book 3, but she just took it way too far in The Dark Sequel.

I mean she created several different timelines, none of which make sense. And then they travelled back to when Harry's parents died. It's so stupid!"

The boy finally finished his long tirade, much to the relief of the camp.

"So you're telling me that you nerds have been worked up over a stupid book?!" One angry child of Ares yelled out, stirring up the rest of her cabin. "Just wait until we clobber you at Capture the Flag tomorrow."

Slowly, the rest of the cabins left the amphitheater, all grumbling about what a waste of time it had been.

Epilogue:

Athena and Apollo cabins teamed up the next night for Capture the Flag, and they absolutely destroyed the other cabins. Let this be a lesson to all, don't insult an angry nerd.

Did I use this as an excuse to vent my own feelings about The Play Which Shall Not Be Named? Nooo. I just thought it would be an interesting plot. Yep, totally that.
