So it's been a while since I've updated and Daphne finally gets claimed and something more special and there will be some news at the end of the chapter so enjoy reading this chapter
Disclaimer: I don't own any of this except Daphne and a few Oc's
It's been 2 days since Daphne arrived and she's doing great, she seems really close to Nico which is also great but some part of me feels jealous of Nico hanging out with Daphne, I'm not going to dwell on that besides Nico is with Will. Daphne is great with swords and at archery, on free times she teaches me how to play the guitar which I am hopeless at but she insists so it only took me two days to learn the names of the strings (thanks to my dyslexia and ADHD) but I know the names of all the six strings, and I'm so proud of myself. Since I study from camp I don't have a lot of free time because of homework, I swear if Daphne didn't help me I would've gotten every single thing wrong. She's smart really smart maybe a daughter of Athena? No, No she has red hair and blue-grey eyes not blonde hair and grey eyes, maybe Hecate? Demeter? Maybe Aphrodite? Let's stick with Aphrodite.
But my question was answered that night; we were sitting near the campfire Austin playing his ukulele and then the campfire started glowing bright white and then an orb lifted from the fire and started to Daphne, it then hit her and then she started to glow and we were forced to shield our eyes, after a minute or so the light faded and there she was in a white one-shouldered Greek-style dress with a gold strap around her waist and with gold armbands on her arm and her hair in a complicated looking braid and her face, it took me a lot of willpower not to go and press my lips against hers, her face not too much makeup but it highlights her natural beauty and on top of her head was a coral rose. Chiron appeared out of nowhere (man that is creepy) bowed down and said 'All hail Daphne Williams, daughter of the love goddess' and we followed his movements.
Now Daphne lives in the Aphrodite cabin and I hate it. Today morning when I went to the Aphrodite cabin to call Daphne so that we could go to breakfast, once I knocked on the door I was immediately let inside by Drew who had a smile on her face and exclaimed 'Finally, you've accepted my offer for a makeover' clapping her hands together 'Err . . . no, I came for Daphne' I replied awkwardly the smile on her face instantly vanishes but nonetheless went over to a rose colour door and popped her head inside and called 'Hey, Daphne your boyfriend is waiting for you'
'I do not have a boyfriend'
'I'm not her boyfriend' we shouted in unison, but she popped her out of the door and dismissed her hand as if to say 'yeah, whatever'. Moments later Daphne appeared and we went out to breakfast.
It's been two weeks since Daphne arrived and tomorrow was a Saturday so I decided to take Daphne out maybe a date? Or maybe as friends, so before dinner, I went up to the Aphrodite cabin and was once again let in my Drew and before she could open her mouth I beat her to it 'I'm here for Daphne, and I'm still thinking about your offer' she grumbled a colourful string of curses under her breath but nonetheless called Daphne who greeted me with a smile 'Hey Percy, is there something I can do?'
'I wanted to talk to you, in private'
'. . . Okay'
I lead her to the forest and to my favourite spot near the lake, there was a pause with both of us staring at the running water and then she broke the silence 'You wanted to talk?' and I started to panic how was I supposed to ask her out? Maybe she only sees me as a friend or a brother or someone who took pity on her, should I ask something else? Finally making my decision I took a deep breath and blurted it out
'Daphne . . . err will you go out with me?' Silence. I avoided her gaze by staring into the lake
'What?' she asked and I repeated the question now I was gazing into her blue-grey eyes and she just stares at me with a shocked expression but then her face breaks into a smile and answers 'okay' shyly her voice unusually an octave higher 'Great then it's a date come on nearly time for dinner' I exclaim and offer her a hand which she gladly accepts and we walk towards the dining pavilion in silence still holding hands.
When we reached the dining pavilion most of the kids stopped eating to stare at us, Daphne then noticed us holding hands she slipped her hands away from mine her face really red and silently walked towards the Aphrodite table sitting next to Piper who asked something and wiggled her eyebrows and Daphne replied something and turned a darker shade of red.
Its 5:45 P.M and I'm supposed to pick Daphne at 6, I'm really nervous, is my hair nice? What about my clothes? A few Aphrodite kids (boys to be specific) barged into my cabin a few hours ago and told me that they were here to give me a makeover and spent the rest house doing that. It was like I was going to attend my wedding, 'how's this?' Alex asked 'way too formal' I replied looking down at the tux I was wearing 'Here try this' Ezra said and tossed me a pair of jeans and a black dress shirt which I gladly put on happy that I could get out of the tux, it was too formal and way too hot inside. I put on the outfit which Ezra gave me and rolled up the sleeves so it wasn't too hot and I could survive, next they tried to tackle my hair and they were successful. And then I made an excuse that I was late and ran out the door grabbing my bouquet of roses and ran the Aphrodite cabin.
Once I reached the Aphrodite cabin I cleared my throat and knocked on the door, once again the door was opened by Drew who exclaimed 'Ah, Percy I see the boys have done a good job in giving you a makeover' I ignored the comment and asked 'Daphne?' 'I'll call her' Drew replied and walked to the same rose door which I think is their makeup room or bathroom. Moments later Daphne arrived looking like a goddess she was wearing a black off the shoulder dress which dropped above her knees, her hair in a complicated looking bun, her makeup not too much but it highlighted her natural beauty and black stilettos.
I mumbled a hello still staring at her and she started to laugh noticing me staring at her and I quickly recovered and gave her the bouquet and we set off to the city for our date.
A/N: So finally they're on a date. Yayy, so this story is going to be a crossover of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter which I will change in the next chapter. There will be rare pairings such as. . . . . no, I'm not giving spoilers. There will be details in the next chapter. please review And if anyone wants to see the dress Daphne wears for her date go to google images and type 'short black dresses' and it's the first one you see. Anyway goodbye.
