Title: The Slytherin Champion
Rating: T
Summary: What if a Slytherin, and not a Hufflepuff, had been chosen by the Goblet of Fire and joined Fleur, Victor, and later on; Harry in one deadly game for glory that would lead right up to the meeting with Voldemort. And what if this champion was a demigod? Crossover of Percy Jackson.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of Rowling or Riordan's characters and I'm making nothing from this.
Chapter 6: Attack on Hogsmeade
December came around and it was getting closer and closer to the Christmas break and away from all this attention and hate. I had plans to go to the Winter Solstice meeting to let the gods know how things were going. I went to the Prefects bathroom, with the egg, to solve the riddle. Thankfully my brain was able to figure out that I had to go into the lake and get something that was precious to me. A hostage.
I passed this along to Harry.
"How are we supposed to breathe underwater for a whole hour?" he asked me.
"I think I might have an idea."
There was to be another Hogsmeade visit and this time I went. I wanted to pick up a couple of things for Annabeth, Percy, Nico, and the others. I had gotten an IM from Annabeth, almost blowing my cover, where she told me that she had encountered Egyptian magicians. If the Greek gods were real, then so could the Egyptian.
"So, are you coming for the final task?" I asked her.
"Of course," she said, "And Nico wants to come as well, for some unknown reason."
I figured this had something to do with Tom Riddle.
"Are you having any problems?" Annabeth asked me.
"No, but things are starting to feel just way too strange."
"Do you think-?"
"I know," I answered.
I was still thinking about the conversation when I entered Hogsmeade. The Founders had placed a barrier around the school because demigods were attending, and they didn't want monsters to attack them. This was back when England was the heart of the west and the gods of Greece and Rome, both sides of the same gods, roamed as well. It made me want to laugh that Hermes and Athena were having tea with Christians that would later on sire demigods or birth them.
So much for England being a Christian nation back then. Rumor was that King Henry the Eighth was a son of Ares.
"I'm not going into the Leaky Cauldron," Harry said. "How about that place."
He pointed to a shabby inn and we decided to go there.
The inn was called The Hogshead, after my ADHD and Dyslexia faded and I could read it. When we entered it wasn't the kind of place that Hogwarts students would have entered so it had none of the people that had turned their back on Harry or me. I made small chat with the owner and came back with drinks.
"To the end of this nightmare," Harry said, and we clinked classes.
"To the end of this nightmare."
"So, are you going to become an Auror?" Harry asked me.
"I'm thinking about doing that," I said, "I mean the idea of catching dark witches and wizards and being in a house that's known for producing them is enough to make me laugh. Just the look on their faces when they know that a fellow Slytherin is bringing them in is good enough for me. I've put up with their blood status nonsense for seven years and I'm not going to put up with it when I'm dealing with the same nonsense of adults."
"I heard it's hard."
"Yeah, one of the subjects that you have to get an O in is Potions."
Harry groaned. "Is that why your helping me out?"
"Harry," I said, looking at him, "I had a feeling that you would want to be an Auror and I'm not talking about because your parents died at the hands of Voldemort but because you really believing in helping others. If it means that I have to help you master Potions, then I'll do it."
"Thanks," he said.
"No problem," I told him.
I ordered us some food and we waited for it to come to our table. I told Harry about my life in the States, minus the whole 'I'm a demigod' part and Harry was surprised that I led a normal life. He told me about his horrible muggle relations and the moment he mentioned Petunia Dursley I froze. Petunia Dursley is a daughter of Hecate, meaning that she's magical. I was going to have a long talk with her.
A sudden scream came from outside and both me and Harry turned towards the door. I heard a muttering of 'not again' and then I bolted. Seven bulls were setting fire to shops and even people. Everyone was screaming, everyone was trying to get away. Damn, they were Greek monsters, or they were monsters that Hephaestus had created.
"Get out of here," I told Harry.
"No, I'm not," he said. "Look, I didn't have any friends when my damn name came out and I'm not leaving the only one that I managed to make."
He was a damn fool, but a cute one. I made my shield and sword appear and told him, "Take this dagger and throw it at the bull when his mouth opens."
I handed him the dagger and when one of them opened its mouth Harry threw the dagger into its mouth. Like when Percy went up against it, the bull exploded. I sent three bulls flying into the trees and then I saw Neville running towards us.
"Why the Hades does it have to be bulls?" he asked, as vines started to wrap around the two bulls that I had lifted off the ground.
"Dagger time," I said, and I unrolled all the daggers that I had brought to Hogwarts.
When all was said and done the bulls had done so much damage. At once Dumbledore and the whole staff was at Hogsmeade and he didn't look happy. My father was among them and he ran over to check me over. To my horror my glowing sword and shield were still out.
"What in the-?"
"It's a really long story," Snape said. "Let's get things in order first."
Having to tell the staff that I happen to be a demigod wasn't what you would call a pleasant experience. However, I did what I had to do to ensure that mortals were okay. Harry was shocked as well, but they didn't ask the most important question. Was I here on a quest? That would have not been good. A week after the attack on Hogsmeade I went to the Winter Solstice meeting and Hades was furious.
"I want Tom Riddle gone," he said.
"Glad you're not screaming," Athena told him. "Selene, what is going on with your quest?"
I told them about what had so far happened and about having to reveal that I'm a demigod. Hera and Artemis weren't happy.
"I'm worried that Selene won't be able to keep Tom from coming back," Neville said to them.
"If it happens then it was meant to happen," Apollon told him. "We will not send Selene to the depths of Tartarus for failing to keep that nightmare from coming back."
"What we need to find out is what is his weakness," Poseidon told us. "What enabled him to not end up at DOA records."
"I think I know how, but I have no proof," Hecate said. "We need to find the proof and then we can act."
"What do you think enabled him to survive?" Zeus asked.
"A Horcrux," Hecate said and we all shuttered.

Remus POV
"Your allowing my godson to hang out with some half-blood demi-whatever?"
Sirius's head was in the fireplace and he didn't look happy.
"That demi-whatever happens to be my daughter."
"She's a Slytherin."
"She's a good person," I told him, and he snorted. "You know what, just leave things be. The last thing that Harry needs if for you to end up back in Azkaban."
"I know how to take care of myself."
I really doubted that.
