Chapter 13:
"Welcome back class, first of all I would like your parchments." Bella addressed the class. She waits while they rustle around to produce their homework, which she collects. Turning back around, she sees that they have two visitors. Bella smiles at her parents. Mars must have informed them.
"I realize that you want as much time with them as possible, but they do still need to learn, Father." She chides. The class turns to see both Hades and Persephone walk in the room and sit down.
"We also want to see you teach, my dear. It's been a while since you did it last." Her mother answers. She sits next to Hermione and Luna.
"Dios, why did I not see it before, I am getting rusty. Apollo would be so disappointed in me, for not seeing this." Looking at the three women, her mother could pass for a schoolgirl still.
"OK, where was I, oh yes." She waves her wand at the board. The elaborate family tree shows again. This time the three lines are filled in. The three boys grin at their spaces. Bella can see her parents scan the room in hopes of catching sight of them. All three brothers, flanked by Ron, Orion and Theo Nott are sitting in the middle row. In front of them are Hades, Persephone, Hermione, Luna, Clarisse and Pansy. The four girls, were nervous being so close to the elder gods.
"Moving on to each family group, seeing as though it can get confusing let's get this out there now. There is a lot of intermarriage in our family. Take my parents for example. Hey, what do you think I wasn't going to use you if you came? It's a Mythology class. You guys are prime pieces of it all.
My father is Hades, Lord of the Underworld. (She writes it on the board), my mother is Persephone, goddess of springtime. (She again writes on the board, drawing a line between them.), now here comes the screwy part. My grandparents on my father's side are Cronus and Rhea. On my mother's side, my grandparents are Zeus and Demeter. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?"
Bella waits for it to sink into their minds. Her parents chuckle to themselves.
"Wait a second, how could that be?" George Weasley asks.
"Please explain for the class, Mr. Weasley. What are you seeing?"
"You said that one set are the Titans and one set are Olympians."
"Again explain your thoughts."
He looks between the boards and asks if he can come up, Bella agrees. George goes and points to the sibling line, with his wand.
"All three are direct siblings. Hades, Demeter and Zeus are brothers and sister. Is that what you are trying to show Professor?"
"25 points for Gryffindor, my grandfather is my uncle, not to mention my father in law, as he is Ares' father. Now that we got that out of the way, let's continue on. Mother and Father had three children, my brother and I and we have a younger brother that we haven't seen for almost sixteen years. Now my father being what he is has had one other child, my sister Hazel. Her mother is the famed voodoo priestess, Marie Levaeu. Being the ruler of the Underworld comes with some perks, other than the overcrowded fields of Asphodel. He controls the world's store of gems, metals, and ores. That lovely circlet on his head is the famed Helm of Darkness. It acts very similar to an invisibility cloak. To clear up some rumors, they are very happily married. So don't believe the hype.
Now on to my brother and I. From Father's little demonstration last time, I am sure you know who I am. The Reaper of Souls, I am wearing my gloves now, so don't worry if I touch you. I am also the Goddess of War. That is why I help with Professor Mars' class. My brother on the other hand is the personification of Death. He is what many call the pale rider. The world is not coming to an end yet, so please leave the writings of John out of this class. If it were then you would have two of the four on earth. Mars is the red rider. Placed together, my brother and I are known as the Death Twins. Thantos and I have a younger brother, Sirius. We have not seen him since the summer after he graduated from Hogwarts. As for Mars and I, we have more in our family. In order, there is; Alec and Jane, Remus, Reyna and Hyla, Clarisse, Frank and Nico, Harry and Draco. That means that five of my sons and one of my daughters are in the school as of now.
I would like to move on to a generalization, if I may. Any child born of one god and one mortal is known as a demigod or half- blood. Many in this room are this. The child of two gods is known as a minor god or godling. To prove my point Percy, he is the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman named Sally Jackson-Blofis. He is a demi-god. Now Nico, Harry and Draco are minor gods. Please don't let it go to your heads boys. They are the sons of me and Professor Mars." A whistle rents the air. Bella looks up to see Jason and Percy cheering. "For homework, please do a family tree going back three generations on each side. I know for a few it was already covered today, I still want to see it in your hand." Bella calls out as they start to pack.
At lunch, the staff notifies the students of a dance coming up. "We will be having some more visitors for the dance. Please be welcoming." The headmaster pleads. "Mr. Underwood, please come up here if you would."
Grover hops over the bench and trots up to the head table as fast as he can.
"Yes Siiiir." He bleats.
"Grover, it has come to my attention that you have a female friend who could not come here because of the weather, am I right?" Grover nods.
"Well, we can ensure her a place in one of the Herbology greenhouses if she is willing to come over." Grover's eyes light up.
"May I write to her now Sir?" He scampers away when Dumbledore nods.
Dear Juniper,
My lovely tree, I have been presented with an offer for you. The Headmaster of the school we are at has offered to let you stay in the greenhouses. There is a dance coming up. I would like it if you could come. I love you, my dear. Please consider coming over. They have these instant travel thingy's called portkeys. They can get you here in no time at all.
Everyone is doing fine. Nico and his parents have found his missing brothers. It's funny because the other two were arch enemies up until they were told. Death has found his son also. Two out of the three are veela, so is Nico. Now they are trying to figure out who their mates are. I think Bella already knows who the mates are. You know how she is. That is all for now.
All my love,
Grover
He folds up the letter and sends it with some candy from Honeydukes for Mr. D and some quills and ink for Chiron.He ambles back to the Great Hall, in hopes that he will find some enchiladas on the table.
At the Gryffindor table, Hermione leans into Harry. "Your mother said that she has a younger brother, Sirius, and that he went here. I know of only one Sirius, how about you. She also said that one of your brothers is named Remus." Draco sits down and nods in thought. "That means I need to make another apology."
The three of them turn when their DADA professor, and good friend chuckle behind them. "Don't be so surprised to find out. Think about how protective I am of you since I met you two. I knew that there was three, but his attitude was throwing me off of thinking that Draco could be him. The minute I smelt you I knew there was some relation. Just didn't think it was my little brothers." Remus smiles. Harry and Draco jump up and hug the werewolf.
