Sup. So, I know that not a lot of people are reading this, but for those of you who are, I thank you.
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO and HP. I am only a major fangirl who likes to use her time to write Fanfiction.
Aurora was two when they took her away. Her parents had all but forgotten her. They never forgot to do things like feeding her or putting her to bed, but playing with her? They didn't do that anymore. Anyone who looked closely enough could tell that Aurora was obviously the one behind the accidental magic that happened often around the Potter home. The girl was often found sitting in the library with a pile of toys and picture books.
Lily Potter smiled down at her son. "It's bedtime sweetheart," she said softly. "James, dear, get Rory to bed please."
The man, James, grunted and got up from his perch at the table.
"Of course, Lily," he said as he picked up the youngest child. The young girl was placed into a bed in a room decorated simply in various shades of pink, blue, and black.
The girl settled in her crib and looked with unfocused eyes towards the window. She Saw the moon, saw the girls shooting arrows. Of course, she was only two and had no idea what these meant, but she knew she'd know soon. She'd seen the snake man before she had asked the fire to make him go away.
As Aurora was dozing off in her bed, a certain god watched the girl. He would grab her, he decided, because she would obviously be better off with the Olympian's plans.
Aurora Celeste Potter didn't exist anymore, as far as Celestia Stella Solis was concerned. She died as soon as she was brought to the Olympians and not truly searched for. When Thanatos had found her in her crib a year after the incident with Voldemort, no one had truly cared about her disappearance. In fact, she knew for a fact that Albus Dumbledore was happy she wouldn't be in the way. Her absence let him play Benjamin Potter like a fiddle. She didn't know where she got that comparison from though. She'd have to ask Zoe later.
Celestia "call me Cel or else" Hunt was a name she was given by the gods. Of course, "Dawn" or some variation of the name wasn't uncommon as a nickname. Cel was currently in a race with Phoebe to see who could pack up the most tents in a short amount of time. Cel was winning by three.
Of course, they had to pack up the tents anyway, as they had to hunt a Manticore in Maine. Cel had told that to her Aunt Artemis, who had then told Grandfather Zeus (they held those titles because Apollo was considered the father of the Icheía) that she had Seen that two important demigods would be there. So here her and the Hunt were, making their way to Maine.
The building reminded Cel far too much of the pictures of the school Hogwarts she had seen from a girl who had belonged to That World before the Hunt had picked her up. She supposed, perhaps, that this had once been Wizarding soil that had been taken by the Mundanes.
Cel's eyes unfocused and her body relaxed as she began to See something.
"Cel, art thou alright?" asked Zoe, as she and a few other girls dropped their weapons to hold the girl up.
Cel blinked out of her vision and giggled. The other hunters weren't phased by this, as Cel was often giddy after coming out of a vision. She could See the most painful thing, like a Hunter's death or the fall of the gods, but she wouldn't be able to say anything about it until it was the right time.
"Don't go after the fallen girl," said the fourteen-year-old in a ten-year-old's body.
The Hunters nodded, keeping that information in their mind's for when it was useful. Cel's information was always perfectly useful, it was just timing that could make it seem useless to someone who didn't know better.
With a shimmer of moonlight, the Hunt's patron goddess Artemis appeared in front of the Hunt.
"Get ready girls," she said, pulling back her bowstring. "We've got to kill this Manticore, and rescue the demigods it's after. Might have to help the ones attempting to take them to their Camp." Artemis turned her head. "Cel, stay behind me," she ordered to the girl.
"Okay Artemis," Cel replied, moving slightly.
The Hunters waited a few minutes, smirking when the Manticore made its appearance. The hunt begins.
Percy was angry. It was as though the Hunt didn't care about saving Annabeth. When Percy had made a run for her, some invisible force had pushed him back. When he had faced the Hunters before the mysterious force stopped, one of the girls, she looked around ten, had had her hand out in front of her and wide, desperate eyes.
Why wouldn't they let him go after Annabeth?
So here he was now. He was currently in some tent being healed by one of the girls, who kept sending him distasteful looks. Grover was entertaining the boy, Nico, while Thalia was pacing and Bianca was being led into a tent by that girl.
Did Annabeth do something to anger them, so they didn't want her rescued? He guessed he would have to find out.
Cel led the girl, Bianca, to the tent in which Artemis had instructed her to lead her. Cel was often present for the induction of a girl into the Hunt. And this time, Cel had Seen that Bianca would be necessary for the Hunt.
They ALWAYS did something if Cel had Seen it and instructed them to do it.
When they got to Artemis' tent, Cel sent Bianca a warm smile and sat at Artemis' left. While Zoe was the lieutenant of the Hunt, Cel was an Icheía. The Icheía were, while an extremely protected species, natural leaders. So Zoe was the lieutenant of the Hunt, but if Zoe wasn't there, Cel would take up the spot as leader until Zoe or Artemis got there. So it was only considered natural that Cel sat on Her Lady's left.
"Bianca," Artemis said. "We would like to ask you to join the Hunt."
And with that said, Cel took over the talking.
"Bianca," Cel added softly. "Do not worry as to when you shall see Nico again." Cel turned to Artemis. "If she wanted to see the young boy," she gave a pointed look at Zoe at that, as if to say, He may be a boy, but he is a young and innocent child. "I could bring her to the Half-Blood camp to visit him, correct?"
Artemis nodded at that. She had done that for many of the girls who had good families.
"You can have time to think over it, but let me know your answer before we leave today," Artemis said. The offer was unnecessary, however, as Bianca said yes then and there.
Sup people. Did you like this chapter? Next chapter is the conversation with Percy and meeting Apollo. I might add in the car ride to CHB. I thank those of you who are reading and warn you that if my updates slow, Fanfiction is not my top priority. My first Priority is school at the moment and this means that if I have to abandon this story for a week or two I will do it. But do not fear, for I do not plan on abandoning this anytime soon.
