Alright, so I got this idea in an attempt on getting back into the swing of things in attempting to add an update for "Didn't See That Coming" (which I have long since canceled), a fic that I started a while back consisting of an HP/PJO fic. I've been doing some thinking and the following idea came into my mind:

What if a single Harry, post-Hogwarts, fell in love and had a kid with Aphrodite (PJO series) at a nondescript point in time after? This interested me so I started to look around to see if it had been done before. There had been variants in a Naruto/PJO fic where a similar situation was held by Naruto, but that's all the further I really saw. I saw a few HP/PJO fics where Harry is the child of Aphrodite, but not one of her kids' fathers, and one of her many on-again, off-again flings when she and Ares have a fight. So, I figured, hey, why not give it a shot. It is just a pilot.

Title: [undecided]

Rating: M most likely for language, sexual innuendo, implied and described activities. Not entirely sure how far it'll go, so M for safety.

Pairing: Harry/Aphrodite.

Summary: After completing his magical education, Harry left the British Wizarding world behind him to explore the world and see what it had to offer. In doing so he found himself in New York City in a student exchange program for college students. At this college he finds a beautiful blonde woman with whom he hits it off, they hook up several times, and then she just disappears. Several months later an infant appears with the same golden-blonde hair at his doorstep with a letter that his affair was with the goddess Aphrodite. Follow along as Harry lives life as a single father and raises his demigod daughters as his baby mama drops in from time to time.

"Daddy, wake up!" a girl's voice called. A man felt as if his side was rolled back in forth to try and wake him up by a much younger person.

"Just five more minutes," he grumbled sleepily.

"But you said that five minutes ago," the girl said with an audible pout. "Come on, or we'll be late!"

"Late for what?"

"Getting my school supplies for Illvermory!" she said genuinely annoyed.

"Oh yeah, that was today," he groggily replied as he rolled over. Looking up at his daughter's golden-blonde hair and green eyes, he was seeing a reflection of himself and her mother on his daughter's face. "But we're just shopping, there's no schedule for that."

"No, but I promised to meet Masha there and shop with her," she continued to pout. He closed his eyes once more. "Come on, wake up!" she said as she shook him.

"Alright, you woke up the tickle monster!" he said in an exaggerated, fakely deep 'monster voice' as he pounced on his daughter and assaulted her sides which elicited laughter from her. She tried to escape only to be grabbed and lifted up. "You cannot escape the tickle monster!" She continued to laugh as he continued his tickle assault on her. When she was in tears from the laughter, he set her down. "Alright, the tickle monster has gone to sleep and daddy is back. I'm going to take a shower; can you help make your sister breakfast?" She nodded as she left still settling down.

He walked into his master bath and looked at himself in the mirror. What looked back at him was a twenty-eight-year-old man with black hair and green eyes. His hair had long since been tamed albeit barely and his hair hid a long-since faded scar in the shape of a lightning bolt. This was the one and only Harry Potter. He proceeded to shower in minutes and got dressed. Walking into his kitchen to see his eldest pouring milk into a bowl of cereal for his youngest. The two of them were spitting images of each other. His oldest, Lillian (who he did lovingly nickname Lily in remembrance of his mother), is ten years old and his youngest, Minerva (who he calls Minnie after McGonagall, the closest woman that he'd have to a stern grandmother), is six years old. They both had naturally curly golden-blonde hair and green eyes, the two most striking visual features gained from both him and their mother. As it was still early, the two wore their hair down; though Lily put hers in a ponytail when playing sports at school.

"Good morning," Harry greeted mostly his youngest as he had yet to see her.

"Morning daddy," Minne said with her mouth full.

"Don't talk with food in your mouth, sweetie," he gently chided. They were his two mischievous angels and he wouldn't have it any other way.

"Daddy," Lily started to ask, "Masha asked if I can spend the night at her house, can I?"

"Did you finish your summer homework?"

"Yes."

"Are you just going to be at her house or will you be doing other things?"

"She mentioned maybe going to the mall?"

"The alley is fine if you want to do shopping there, but no mall."

"But why can't I go to the mall? All my friends go to the mall!?" she complained.

"But you do go to the mall," Harry countered gently.

"Only with you!" she argued. Harry walked over and hugged his daughter and ran a hand through her hair. "I'm sorry," she sobbed, "I didn't mean to yell at you."

"I know. I know you don't like hearing this, but one day you will understand why I'm so overprotective of you and your sister. At that time, I don't expect you to forgive me but I do hope that you understand why."

"Why can't you tell me?"

"You'll know when your eyes are opened to what is underneath everything. And when you do, you'll understand." He pulled away after ruffling her hair.

"Hey!"

"But enough on dour topics! Shopping, especially for school is supposed to be fun!" He then muttered, "At least for you, not for my wallet."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

Their shopping trip was fairly average. The alley that at least existed in New York City was known as Vertic Alley which was housed inside a shopping mall to hide the comings and goings of witches and wizards. Lily met up with her friend and other than making sure she got what she needed for school let her spend time with her friend. After all, when she became of age and her mother called for her, her friend may be in danger and may not be able to be seen outside of school ever again.

"Hey stranger," a sultry voice cooed from behind him. "What brings you here?"

He turned around to see a woman in her early twenties. She was wearing yoga pants which accentuated her tight body's lower half and showed off every curve from the taut plumpness of her glutes, slim waist, and toned thighs that were as strong as they were slim. As a top, she was wearing a soccer (footie)-type jersey of the Puddlemere United quidditch team, a team that Harry was proud to say was one of his favorite British teams. Quidditch, unlike football, was quite popular with the American wizarding community but they stuck with their state teams and only very occasionally with international ones during the world cup or when an opposing team was facing an opponent. For example, there is a bar in a city with a British ex-pat who runs televised football games to share his culture with the community to have an authentic 'footie experience.' This was not one of those times, this was the off-season and Puddlemere or one of its rivals weren't in the World Cup this year. The jersey, though, was extremely tight in the chest showing off her generous bosom to any onlooker who went past, questioning with the thin material if she was even wearing anything underneath. Then there was the fact that she was a redhead, one of Harry's secret things he had for a woman. Harry only knew of one woman who would do this.

Aphrodite.

Greek goddess of love, (lust), and beauty.

The goddess who happened to be the mother of his children.

The goddess that was his on-again, off-again fling when things weren't working out with Ares.

"Oh, you know, it's that time of year again when the kids need to get ready for school," Harry replied nonchalantly.

"Oh, school?" she asked putting a hand to her mouth. "How many?"

"Two technically, a ten-year-old and a six-year-old. My oldest is going to Ilvermory this year. My youngest is going to no-maj kindergarten; she happened to be a late baby that year."

She looked at him in shock, "You look way too young to have two kids of your own!"

"Oh, they're a handful, alright."

She licked her lips as she leaned in close to him. "You know, I've always been sort of turned on by absolute DILFs like yourself."

"DILF?" he asked as she leaned over to him.

"Daddy I'd like to fuck," she sultrily said in his ear while emphasizing each word.

"Bad?" he asked with a raised eyebrow and flat tone, referring to Ares. After all, unless you wanted the gods' attention on yourself, you didn't speak their names for good or ill may come upon you. Mostly ill.

"Real bad," she pouted.

"Date night?" he suggested.

"Date night it is. I'll get a... sitter arranged."

"I'll await their call. Code word?"

"The phrase 'hottie with a body' will be used."

Harry nodded. She'd arrange for a nymph to keep an eye on her. This wouldn't be the first time they'd used 'pantheon resources' to babysit their children while they went out. "Lily will be at a friend's house tonight. Witch friend." It was her turn to nod this time. "What did you have in mind?"

"How about... a musical."

"Broadway?" She nodded. "I'll see what I can do."

"No need to," she said as she flicked her wrist and two tickets appeared and she stuffed them in his rear pocket, pinching his rear as she did. "Dress nicely," she said as she walked away with her hips swaying enticing all around her. But they couldn't have her unless she wanted them, and she currently wanted Harry.

"Daddy, who was that?" Minnie asked looking up from her coloring book.

'She's your mother and you could have another sister in a few months after tonight,' he thought. "Just a nice woman who I'm going to take on a date tonight," Harry replied.

The rest of the shopping trip went along without any other eventful things to take note of. Harry watched as Lily went with her witch friend through the American floo network to their house and traveled back home with his youngest. He got ready for his date that evening and dressed up in a suit. As he finished with the tie the doorbell rang. He went to the door.

Opening it, he saw a woman in her late teens standing there. "Hi, I'm like the babysitter sent so you can admire your hottie with a body," she announced in the most Valley Girl accent he had ever heard. Harry felt the supernatural energy rolling off of her, the same that he had come into contact with before when observing one of the many nymphs that existed in the Greek pantheon. He let her in and she started to walk towards the kitchen, apparently to make some kind of meal.

Minnie walked over and looked at the disguised nymph before looking at him. "Who's that?" she asked.

"That's your babysitter for the night," Harry replied. "I expect you to be a good girl for her, alright?" She nodded. "Good girl." He kissed her on the brow. "I'll be back home after you go to bed." He nodded to the babysitter and left.

One silent apparation later and he was walking out of an alley across the street from Broadway. He straightened his coat and crossed the street. When he did, he was tapped on his shoulder and was dazzled by who was there as he knew who it was due to the godly power radiating from her. She was wearing what looked to be a hybridization between a cocktail dress and a gown worn by elites at a high-tier gala. That being a long-hemmed dress with a slit running up both sides of the leg to her thigh exposing them. Then the upper portion having no back and would imply that she was running commando under it as there was no bra strap seen on her back and no thin piece of cloth around her hips hinting at any panties. Though most mortals (most, being the operative term) wouldn't do such a thing and would wear some kind of 'stealth' undergarments to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions, this was Aphrodite and he knew her; he would be shocked if she wasn't running commando tonight.

"Harry," she greeted melodiously. "It's been a while." She looked him up and down and nodded her head in approval. While he wasn't wearing a tux, it was still a very well-tailored, well-cut suit. "You clean up quite nicely, as always."

"And you look as beautiful as always," Harry replied as he took her hand and placed a kiss on it. "Shall we?" he asked as he placed his right elbow on his hip, inviting her to place her arm around his.

She did and stated, "Yes, we shall."

The two walked inside and sat in a booth in a hidden alcove. Well, you could see it from the stage, not so much from the rest of the audience in the room. Considering it was a private booth, they didn't have to be worried about anyone getting annoyed by their talking as that was a big no-no in general seating. The musical began but Harry and Aphrodite's attention wasn't on it, it was just background noise for them.

"So, what's going on?" Harry asked quietly. Not really a whisper, but of an intimate volume in a restaurant.

"It's... him," she said not wanting to say Aries' name specifically. Again, attention of the gods and their names and all that. Even if it was another god saying it. "He's been distant."

"Hasn't he always been distant?"

"Yes, but this time is different." Harry waited for her to compose her thoughts more clearly. "While always distant, he's always come back to me. The last time I actually spoke with him, he was complaining about how the mortal realms have been too quiet as of late and that none of the major world powers have done anything."

"Do you think he's up to something?"

She shook her head. "I don't know. The last time he got in a mood like this was right before the Second World War. While that had been instigated by children of the Big Three, he wasn't directly involved, allegedly."

"Allegedly?"

She shuffled uncomfortably unsure if she should relay this information. "As you know, we gods have lifespans that exceed mortals exponentially and with this time comes plenty of time to think. About twenty of your years ago, some of the minor gods came together to discuss past events, and someone theorized that he may have shuffled some of the items of power around."

"The helm, bolt, and trident," Harry clarified to which she nodded in confirmation.

"As I've already told you, the primary combatants of that war were children of the Big Three who led their mortal armies against each other at the behest of their fathers to get their items of power back. As you know, it didn't make the Charitable One the happiest god in the world those following years." Harry nodded in understanding. Hades was misunderstood by many because many thought death = evil ergo Hades is evil. From what she had told him, he was very annoyed by the huge influx of souls into the Underworld.

"I can see where they're coming from too," Harry commented. "The one below doesn't like huge influxes in souls being sent to him all at once. And you think your boyfriend is up to something again?"

"Yes."

"How long was it the last time something happened?"

"From when he felt this way? About a year."

"So, it'll be a year before something kicks off," he thought aloud. "Regardless if it is premonition or active involvement."

"There are also rumors that one of the Big Three has had another child."

"I thought you said that they all agreed to not have anymore after the war?"

"They did. If that child is discovered, it'd justify another war between the Big Three, and the rest of us, including the minor gods, will be forced to take sides."

"Especially if someone instigated a theft," Harry added and she nodded in agreement.

"Considering the possibility of a war. I'd like Lily to attend Camp this summer to prepare her for things to come."

"Are you sure she's ready?"

She shook her head, "Of course, she's not. That's why I need her prepared. She may be a blessed of Hecate, but mortal magics won't help her fully against the potential threats, especially those of other demigods."

"I'll make preparations for the mortal side of things."

"And I'll contact the Camp to assign a Satyr to escort her to camp. As she's not a child of the Three, I do not expect any issues in travel."

"Is it wrong that I want to protect my little girl as long as possible?"

"No. But demigods live shorter lives than most mortals do just due to the threats of monsters."

"I know," Harry said. "Which is why I'm going to give them as much of a life as I can so they can live without regrets."

"And that's what makes you such a good father," she said sweetly as she clung to him.

They watched the rest of the musical and left when it was done. She teleported the two of them to his bedroom and he cast a privacy charm on the door and walls. After all, the two were about to get frisky and he didn't want to bother his sleeping daughter. They began to kiss and she pushed him back onto the bed.

"You know, men being great fathers is one of the many things that just gets my motor running," she said as she shrugged her shoulders, releasing the straps. As it fell away, her lack of lingerie was replaced by some lewd set. It was a bra and panties, but they had the heart cutouts so that her nipples pressed through them as well as her exposed snatch in the panties. The material was a shimmering, almost latex-like cloth. "And I think I should reward this good father," she said with lust in her voice.

To be continued...?

And that's all I have for this one. This one has been almost 5 years in the making as it went on backlog and sort of floated in development hell. I'm glad to finally have it done. But yeah, this happens a year before the Lightning Thief's events, and some of the gods, like Aphrodite, knows something's up, just not the exact details. As for the "fade to black," I don't know if I do want to describe the actions performed behind closed doors or just leave it like that. That is, of course, why this is a pilot. To get feedback and get insight from readers on top of exploring new ideas. As for interactions with the main cast? I do not know at this point in time. From what I remember in the series, only one quest per year is really given out if that. The beauty of this is that this is fanfiction so I can rewrite the rules, such as "it's normal for 1 quest per year, but more than that isn't unheard of" or something like that. Again, this story is in the extremely early stages of planning that may not even come to pass. I believe that this idea does have merit, but I don't know if I'll be the one that will make it come to fruition or not.

On to other story ideas. I did come up with a new idea between when I finished the last idea and releasing this one (about 5 days apart as I decided to double release this one). It's another "original fic" idea that draws inspiration from various sources to hopefully make something new. Hopefully, it'll be interesting to you guys and you'll enjoy it. I also got my hands on digital copies of some light novels and web novels so we'll see if any inspiration comes from those.

As for real-life stuff, not much has changed in the last week since I finished writing the postscript for the other story that came before this. I got the new Fitness earbuds from Raycon as they had a sale and Donut Operator had a code for 15% off. Got them for like $80. Also bought a wrench from Midwest Industries. You may be asking why I'd tell you this specifically, and you'll find this funny. I purchased an armorer's wrench from Classic Firearms, they sent it to me in a box that was massive. I bought new shoes, a pair of Sperry's because I need to update my footwear game. I guess, lastly, I got a new backpack from 5.11 because I need to replace my old backpack I've had since like 2009 and its straps are falling apart. Considering I got a laptop now for work as opposed to a desktop, it's probably time for this upgrade. Work is still hell right now because of our shortage, but hey, at least I got another raise, so there's at least that.

But that's all I have this time around. Let me know what you thought of this idea in all the usual places. Tip jar addresses for anon tips are in my profile bio. And I'll see you in whatever I put out next.
