Oh my gods. I am soooooo sorry guys. I haven't updated since like…*checks fanfiction* April! That's *counts on fingers* like 3 months! Sorry guys. (What the heck is wrong with me.) I was so busy with school during may and April. Then there was vacation and camps….and well, I decided to start watching Fairy Tail. A down-hill road to magical awesomeness, but not good for this fanfic. Again, so sorry. I'll work on more regular updates some how. I think this might be updated every other week schedule. But, we shall see!
Reader: Oh it better happen author!
Hope4all: Don't worry I swear!
Summary(Cause yeah, it's been a while): Dumbledore asks Chiron to bring powerful demigods to protect Harry. Cause, what happened in his first 3 years was crazy. So he sends in the Seven, Nico, and Will. Upon arrival, they find Luna, daughter of Athena; Neville, son of Demeter; Draco, son of Athena; and Cho, daughter of Aphrodite. But they also find themselves in the Triwizard Tournament. With Annabeth as the representative, Harry is also made a second champion of Hogwarts in the tournament. Along the way, the demigods and Golden Trio find a plot to destroy Harry when Voldemort rises with the help of Hyperion, Atlas, and their follower, the donor/benefactor that attempted to kill Harry with the drakon in the second round. Cho has betrayed the group for Voldemort, but her betrayal gave insight to another traitor amongst Hogwarts. And so now, Harry and his friends have taken Cho to interrogate her. And so this chapter begins...
Chapter 21-Cho Chang
Cho
My vision blurred in and out. Dark. Some boy's face. Darkness. The same boy but now with glasses. Wait, that's Harry! Where am I?
I found myself in a chair tied up with ropes and wands stuck in my face. Where's my wand? I found my belongings on the opposite side of the room guarded by a red faced Weasley. It must be that Ron kid that hangs with Harry. There was also Harry's bushy-haired friend Hermione watching closely.
Harry was slumped against the wall, head in hands. The demigods were scattered around with weapons drawn. Frank had his bow pointed towards the door while Jason and Percy pushed tables towards the door to barricade it. Piper was staring at me with a blank face and a disappointed frown.
Annabeth demanded, "Do you know why you are here?"
I shook my head, but I knew that they must have found out of my betrayal, my brother, my need to kill Harry. They took the hints alright, found my letters, right as was planned.
Piper answered for me, "Well, it's because you are working with Voldemort, Atlas, and Hyperion to kill Harry."
My head hung. "You don't understand."
"No I don't! I don't understand how you of all people could betray your friends and family. You manipulated our trust and feelings."
Jason put a hand on Piper and silently told her to back down. Piper sighed and leaned in his arms.
"You don't understand."
Annabeth said, "Then allow us to understand." She kneeled in front of my chair and waited for my answer. Seems to me she's the good cop while Piper's the bad cop.
I glanced to the side at Harry, his head still in his arms.
I mumbled, "My brother died a long time ago. Somehow, in some way, he didn't die. Or it was merely a faked death. He was also a child of Aphrodite. It was weird and complicated with my dad and mom. Even I barely know it. He must have faked his death though to join Atlas and Hyperion. He never really liked the gods. Thought they were fake powers and just abandoned the world. If they were all powerful, they could create world peace, end hunger, and all that. So he believed the old rulers could save humans from themselves. And well, we were very close. I suppose I still believe he could be saved.
That's why I worked with Voldemort. I thought Voldemort could help me save my brother. Even though Atlas and Hyperion brought Voldemort back to life, but he isn't exactly obedient towards the Titans. I don't know why, but Atlas and Hyperion want Harry as well. I couldn't figure it out. I'm not that trusted among Atlas and Hyperion despite my brother's trust in me. I guess I am guilt-tripped in trying to save him because I couldn't years ago."
My captors didn't say anything for a while. But Harry spoke up, "Was your brother the one who donated the drakon in the second round?"
"I believe so. Under orders from Atlas and Hyperion."
Ron huffed, "What I don't understand is why Dumbledore didn't see this one coming!"
Hermione nodded, "That's still a mystery. But maybe Dumbledore doesn't want to create chaos and terror during the tournament. Maybe he truly knows and is working on a way to stop Voldemort."
Draco scoffed, "Or you're giving the old man too much credit."
Harry frowned, "You don't know that."
Neville stuttered, "C-can we n-not fight in front of our h-hostage?"
Luna dropped her upside-down Quibbler magazine and stared at Harry like a specimen. "I suppose Harry was marked by Voldemort, a sign of evil. His mark of evil, the scar, could be used to perform some powerful magic."
Everyone stared at Luna in awe. I asked, "How do you know this?"
"Well, Cho, my father is quite open with what I read."
Annabeth muttered, "True daughter of Athena."
Leo laughed, "Jealousy isn't a good look on you Annabeth."
Percy mumbled, "Her pride is being attacked."
I asked, "So can I get out of here now?"
Annabeth frowned, "Wait! Why would you tell us all this? Aren't we your enemy?"
I sighed and shook my head, "I got into something I can't back out of. I want to help my brother, but I never really wanted to kill or hurt anyone. I left you hints because I needed help."
Percy nodded, "That's pretty smart!"
Jason laughed.
Leo asked, "Sooooooo what are we going to do with our hostage?"
"Hey! Yeah, when are you all going to let me go?"
Harry stood up, "Here's the deal. We can help you Cho. But, we need to figure out what Atlas and Hyperion want with us. We also need to find out who else is the traitor in Hogwarts."
"Oh that's easy. Professor Mooney."
"What?!"
Ron asked, "How is that possible? My father trusts him! He's a trusted member of the magical society."
"I don't know. But it's not the real Mooney. I heard rumors from my brother that there was some plot to take Mooney's spot. I don't know the details."
Hermione nodded, "Bottom line. We will need Cho to remain as an agent for Atlas and Hyperion. Except a double agent for us. We can help save her brother, Mooney, and Harry."
"That works for me. I never wanted to betray you guys. I just wanted to save my brother. I'm so sorry."
Harry shook his head, "Save it. Just wait till we beat Voldemort!"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Annabeth
Stab. Slash. Stab. Slash. Training kept my nerves down. From what Luna said, Harry could be the key to unlocking a very powerful spell. From what seems to be a theme though is bringing back life. First Cho's supposed brother. Then there's Voldemort. Could they be trying to bring back Kronos again? Or maybe Gaea? Or someone even worse…
"Are you okay?" Annabeth whipped around and her knife went flying past Percy and into the wall.
"It's just you Seaweed Brain."
"You going to answer the question Wise Girl?"
"I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"What Atlas and Hyperion could be using Harry for."
"And that is?"
"I don't know. It's just a hunch."
"Whatever you say Annabeth."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Cho
Voldemort smiled, "Did you complete the potion?"
"Yes. I did. Will I be using it on Potter?"
"No. We merely said that to fool Atlas and Hyperion. They need him dead to unlock his power. But I want to kill him myself. And I want to be free from Atlas and Hyperion's control. Therefore, I will use that potion on them."
"But they're Titans! They can't be killed!"
"Surely they can go into a slumber. Long enough so I can take over the world, not those stupid giants."
I mumbled, "They're titans."
"The point is, child, you serve me. So hand over the potion."
I sighed and dished out the bottle from the pockets of my cloak. My hand hid behind my back and I gestured to Nico behind me to get back.
I handed a bottle over to the greedy hands of a noseless man. On second thought, I should have faked the potion, but Nico assured me later that if the bottle worked, we would have less enemies. And besides, Atlas and Hyperion are the only ones that the demigods are worried about. They are strictly forbidden from interrupting Harry's natural flow of fate. And I agree with that perfectly. Voldemort is Harry's enemy. His alone. I suppose it will be hard for Percy and Jason to resist being a hero, but I suppose they've done it before.
Voldemort laughed, "Thank you my loyal servant. I swear, I will bring your brother back to you. From now on, you are to report to my other servant every week."
Then suddenly, he disappeared into a flowing dark smoke that billowed into the sky. His laughter reached the core of my body, and anger filled me up. There was something evil about the sky and the sense of tension. Something was about to go down.
So, this might be a bit short. But it's been a while. And don't worry the Third Task is happening next chapter! The end of this fanfic is coming near. So I would like to use this space to thank everyone so far who reviewed, fav, followed, and more! Thank you so much!-hope4all
