Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson. I simply wish to mix up the worlds for fun.
Author's Note: Started this chapter straight after chapter three was posted. Sorry if it's not long enough to your expectations, but I am a beginner writer. As the story continues I may lengthen my chapters. Looking over pairings, so far I'm looking at Harry/Clarisse. For those hoping for a Artemis pairing, look for a different fic. Sorry but tried to add it into the story, didn't work.
Warnings: I don't like Hermione or Weasleys, except for Charlie, Bill, and the Twins. Also believe Harry would of had a better life if Dumbledore hadn't interfered.
Nico had heard about the Master of Death, he had never thought much about it. As it had nothing to do with him till now. No wonder Hades was sending him to Camp Half-Blood. It was their protection as much as his. "Yes, for now. Shall we set off for camp? They have been trying to keep the entire place guarded from the monsters wanting to rebel against the Olympians." He told his older brother, hoping he would get why Hades had sent him. From what he could tell, this was the protection for the camp he promised.
Oh how he couldn't wait for Clarisse to meet Harry. With Percy's luck, they would team up against him. He snickered to himself, that would be a sight to see. They were headed for Long Island Sound, New York. The Underworld exit was a portal to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. Then it was to Montauk, at Farm Road, 3.141 by taking a taxi. Nico waved a cab over, and they put what little they had in the trunk. Giving the driver the destination, they both got in and relaxed as much as they could. The drive wasn't long, but it was silent. Both were thinking of the information given to them earlier that day.
Nico looked over the information given and compared it to the information already at hand. It looked like the entire greek world was in for a bumpy ride. Hadrian Potter was a force no-one knew about. And he was willing to bet that not even his father, Hades, knew the extent of Harry's powers. Truly, it was funny that all Percy's prays to not be the chosen one would achieve something. Though it was sad that Harry just ended a war, to end up back in one. Whatever the outcome, he would stick by his older brother to the end. And as he thought that he swiftly fell in to a light slumber.
Harry had let Nico know about most of his past, he figured if they were to be family there should be no lies between them. He knew from experience that keeping information hidden from someone who might need it, is dangerous. It is the reason why he wasn't saddened to leave Hogwarts to find his family. He truly had nothing left for him there, other than the few who had stood by him through the years. And they had encouraged him to find his father. They had hoped that finding his blood family would melt his cold heart. The betrayals had made him very distant, giving him a resentment that rivaled Hades against the Olympians.
He was trying to be more open, and it showed with Nico. Usually he wasn't so open with new people, but he wanted his half-brother to feel comfortable around him. Especially when he was about to show his true colors to Camp Half-Blood. One might say he was a cruel-hearted bastard, and it was true to his enemies. Otherwise, once you got to know him, he was just distant and very protective of those he loved. What could he say, he just couldn't be that naive, little boy he used to be.
Harry looked over at his brother, and smiled. Nico had fallen asleep sometime whiles Harry was deep in thought. He was innocent-looking when in slumber, it made him wonder what he looked like before finding out about his godhood. It made the dark-haired sixteen year old happy to know that at least now he had something to fight for. He never imagined he would have a brother, let alone a little brother, and to have that warmed his icy heart.
Suddenly the taxi came to a stop, indicating that the ride was over. Gently shaking his little brother awake, he then gathered their things. Harry went to the man in the drivers seat, he handed him a fifty dollar bill and muttered a thank you. Seeing Nico walking in, what he could guess, the direction of the camp, he followed.
Nico walked with a little speed to his step, in a way he was in a hurry to check up on the camp. Only thing he could hope was that they would be able to sneak by the monsters surrounding the area. Thinking that they should come up with a plan to get by, he called Harry over. "So what do you think we should do about the monsters surrounding the camp?" ,Nico asked the dark-haired boy.
Harry laughed, he couldn't help it. Nico gave he a look that said he was insane, and maybe it was true. So he answered, "We are just going to walk past them."
Nico couldn't believe his ears, in fact, he tried cleaning them out to prove his point. "Are you serious?" He asked, not knowing the pun that would follow.
"Nope, he's dead. But I do expect to just walk right past them, they won't notice us." Harry replied nonchalantly. He knew that the monsters wouldn't see him, as he has the power to make him and those he chooses invisible. So with a silently cast spell, and moved forward toward the camp.
Nico, hoping that Harry had a plan, followed silently. It was weird following someone, normally since his sister died, he had to. It was a nice feeling not being in charge. But he knew once they got to camp the nice feeling wouldn't last.
As they got closer to Titan's minions none of them twitched. It was like not even being there, Nico thought. Harry had walked at a steady pace, and instead of stopping like Nico had, he entered the monsters area. No fear was on his face, if you didn't know better you would think he belonged there. Noticing that Harry was a ways ahead, The twelve year old hurried to catch up with him. The monsters obviously had no clue there was a viper in their mist.
Smirking to himself, he knew his younger brother was wondering how this was possible. Nico had even stopped just before entering the monster zone. Then practically ran to catch up. Well, Harry had told him the expect him to do weird things. They were close to the camp, so let Nico show him the way into Camp Half-Blood.
Entering the camp, the duo got a welcome committee, one with plenty of sharp objects pointed at them. Harry looked over at Nico and asked, "Is this how always react to new camp members?"
Nico shook his head, and replied, "Did you take down whatever was shielding us from the monsters?"
Harry muttered a few curse words, and canceled the spell.
As soon as it went down, a few centaurs gasped in the back. While most of the campers got a look on their face like they smelled something bad, and went back to their activities. A few campers moved forward to greet Nico and to bring the newcomer to Chiron.
