A/N: Hey guys I am currently back in college and I am ready for my next semester, So today I am going to be starting a new story and I am accepting DZ2's Twice Blessed Half-Blood Challenge, After reading his Harry Potter, Son of Shadows I want to pay homage to such a great challenge idea and story to follow it. This will be my take on the challenge and my actual first challenge. For those reading my other story if you notice a change in my writing style, I've been writing short stories and as such, My style has shifted from what I've seen. I am still without a beta and I don't know the system for it so please forgive my writing errors. Thanks DZ2 for giving me the permission to respond to the challenge and I hope this story does it good. I don't know how long I will make this or even if I'll do all 7 books, That is up in the air right now, But I will at least finish this story as I finish up the first part of my first story and when I finish this I will do the second book to my other story, Now on to the moment were all waiting for, The challenge rules are as followed:
DZ2's 'Harry the Twice-Blessed Half-Blood' Challenge: A Harry Potter/Percy Jackson (or Heroes of Olympus) Crossover
Plot: Every Half-Blood has one god-parent, this we know: however, Harry is different because of one reason: through the ways of the divine, he has more than one god for a parent/guardian
Rules: Light, Grey or Dark Harry
Harry's first god-parent MUST be one of the twelve while others can be any of the Greek/Roman Mythological forces: gods, deities, divines etc.
Harry and Percy MUST have different views of right and wrong
Either Talia, the Di Angelo's or Clarisse must be allied with Harry - any others are up to the reader
Whoever Harry's god-parent is MUST break the law and talk/interact/meet with Harry - they do this because of Halloween and they don't want to lose him again
If Harry is Dark, Luke MUST see Harry as the new leading force of the New Olympus and pledge to serve him instead of Kronos
Any pairings are welcome
Tom and Dumbledore must both feel wary about Harry when he comes into his god-like powers
The Horcrux is destroyed - unless Harry's 'other' god-parents use it to 'determine' him as theirs (see below)
Even though he leaves Hogwarts for CHB or his own dwellings, Harry must still keep in touch with his friends
At least one of Harry's friends - or a redeemed friend if you want to use someone like Draco or Severus - must be a Half-Blood
Sirius and Remus do not abandon him
Guidelines: Powerful Harry (Taken)
Harry and Percy as enemies (Taken)
Immortal Harry (Taken)
Master of Death Harry (Taken)
The force that determines Harry is a primordial e.g. Thanatos, Erebus, Nyx, Chaos etc. (Taken)
Harry saving Luke before Kronos gets to him (Taken)
Harry's god-parent - his main one - is one of the Big Three (Taken)
Lily and/or James were that particular god in human form
Others of the HP universe are Half-Bloods (Taken)
A prophecy being made about Harry (Taken)
Slash (Might be if I decide to do pairings)
The PJ/Heroes of Olympus universe being diverted from canon due to Harry's involvement e.g. Harry goes after the Lightning Bolt and keeps it or Harry helps Luke claim the Fleece and destroys Cronus
(Might follow canon from book or I might divert it depending on what I feel for the story)
Kronos - somehow - is Harry's god-parent - so a Titan-Harry could be allowed too (Definite Titan-Harry so this is taken)
Forbidden: Harry remaining the naive, malleable wizard/demigod people wish him to be
Harry's actual god-parent being anything other than Olympian/Roman
Dumbledore and Tom as allies of Harry
Sirius and Remus abandoning Harry
Other than that, it's up to you...

Now I am throwing this out there, My Harry will be seriously overpowered, why? Because I can, I love overpowered characters because it gives the writer comic relief watching others fail to kill the main character, Does this mean that harry will be overpowered from the get go? No, Harry will start off powerful but still able to be defeated, once he fully realizes his powers (gifted or inherited) He will be the most powerful character. Now I won't make it confusing as to whom Harry's Parents and Blessed are but I won't make it painfully obvious. I wish all to take a guess as to who and whoever gets the closest can have a character dedicated to them, Now I am bad at leaving clues so people might figure it out fast but hey it's a way to help the reader interact with the story more. Now on to the story, again check out DZ2 if you already haven't, the stories they are amazing to read and I enjoy them thoroughly.
Chapter 1: Birth of a Fallen Hero
Harry James Potter was dying, after everything he's done for his so called friends they abandoned him. Convinced by Ron, She left with him to deal with Remus transformed and ran back to the castle, not once looking back for his safety. Sirius had transformed into his animagus and tried to repel the werewolf but the power difference was significant between the two canine wizards. After confusing the werewolf and running back towards Sirius who had somehow managed to roll towards a lake in the forbidden forest, He tried to coax his godfather back into the realm of the living only for an unmistakable chill to shake his whole body. "No, No, Not now please." He muttered to himself as he looked up to see a swarm of Dementors, their black cloaked forms blocking out the moon like a cloud of death itself. Pulling out his wand, harry tried to think of the happiest moment of his life. "Remus teaching me the Patronus Charm in his office." Casting the charm, He yelled "Expecto Patronum!" a cloud of misty smoke formed a barrier in front of him as the Dementors were pushed back, though this was short lived as the cloud flickered and vanished under the sheer force and numbers of the dark creatures. Trying to think of another memory, Harry tried the charm again but fear petrified him as a Dementor came from across the lake and with a deep breath, Sucked the happiness out of the black haired teen as his yells echoed across the clearing, Sensing the feast, the other Dementors began swooping in on the two. Harry fought unconsciousness as the screams of his mother and Voldemort's yelling echoed in his mind. Weakly turning to Sirius, He saw the man had switched back and was just as tormented by the demonic creatures. Failing at the battle with pain and Morpheus, Harry watched helplessly as a luminescent orb exited Sirius mouth floating slowly into the air, to which the Dementors slowly tried to absorb. Suddenly warmth flooded Harry's entire body as the Dementors flew away suddenly, Turning his head, His vision getting blurry, He saw a figure standing over him holding a wand, which glowed with an eerie dark light, As the last of the Dementors left, The figures wand vanished into the darkness as the figure glanced at Harry then vanished in a flash of gold leaving harry to succumb to unconsciousness.
"Where am I?" Harry spoke to himself as he looked around the endless darkness. He tried to move only to find that he couldn't. "Do not fret my child, I am here to protect you but I can't reveal myself yet. Zeus won't allow it, though he is afraid of my power." A voice spoke from the darkness, it was feminine in pitch. It held immense power yet showed only love from what harry heard. "Who are you?" He asked; half annoyed at the cliché statement. The voice laughed and spoke softly." That is for you, my child, to figure out. But know this; I am the mother of Death, Day, Night and Sleep. I protect my children, though there are many, each I love and Treasure. When you wake up my son, Try to save the one called Sirius Black, Leave and don't look back at all. Remember that I love you and I will always protect you. Seek Camp Half-Blood and Trust only those who your heart tells you." With that, the presence along with the voice vanished as harry felt himself being repelled away from the area. Waking up, Harry heard the headmaster speaking in a hushed voice. "When he wakes up, He will not remember anything but what I implanted in his mind, He must not know of what happen at the lake Mr. Weasley, Make sure Ms. Granger stays under the compulsive charm and Lord Kronos will reward us greatly for the greater good. They must not know of their heritage, nor must they leave." Hearing Ron voice his agreement, harry felt anger coursing through him. How dare they try to tamper with his memories! Ron was supposed to be his friend, Hearing the door closed, Harry pretended to just wake up in case anyone was around, Spotting no one, Harry got out of the bed and stealthily walked towards the door and snuck out. Walking down the hall, he made his way past the ghost and corridors to the Gryffindor Common Room only to find Hermione sneaking out. "Harry "She whispered "We need to go to Professor Dumbledore, Sirius is Innocent, and they're going to kill an innocent man!" Harry watched her in confusion as he said. "Hermione, Slow down, what do you mean." Watching her take a deep breath, she said "They're going to give Sirius the kiss!" Understanding donned on harry as he growled. "They can't do that, we have to get him "He said only to be pulled by Hermione as they ran towards the stairs. "They're on the Southern Tower roof, we have to get him!" Running to the roof Hermione spoke, "I'm sorry for leaving you Harry, Ron Persuaded me that they should get Dumbledore, He ran to the common room and never thought back to get you." She apologized as harry shook his head and muttered, "That much was expected, don't worry we need to get Sirius now though."
They made it to the roof approaching the door and looked inside to find Sirius Black lying on the floor. Hermione waved her hand and yelled "Bombarda" Pointing her wand at the door as it exploded releasing Sirius. Looking around, they frowned, they knew that the whole school would've heard the explosion and it would've been a matter of seconds before someone came to explore. "Harry, How are we going to escape!" Hermione said in a worried voice as she looked around. Hearing a yelling from the door leading into the castle harry prayed to whoever was up there for a way out. "Hold on son, your mother and I will get you out." A sinking feeling was felt in the pit of their stomach as darkness enveloped Harry's vision. Yelling in fear, He felt his vision return as he looked around noticing Hermione and Sirius next to him looking dizzy. "Welcome my son; it's good to see you survived. But, then again, I knew you would." Turning around, the group gasped as they saw a female with ebony hair and pale skin, her eyes were as dark as night and glowed with an ethereal presence unlike any human. They felt….Familiar to harry. "I know who you are…Mom."
Sorry for the cliffhanger but I will reveal who his mom is next chapter for those who don't know or haven't guessed. Secondly, if you can't guess Harry's father then next chapter you will learn more about him as well as some important information about Harry's future. For now I bid thee Adieu and I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I have yet to come up with a name for the story so hopefully one will come to me while I am posting the chapter. Again, thank you for checking out the story and I hope you were satisfied with it. The next chapter will be out within the space of this and next weekend. Chao
