To say the two children were shocked was an understatement of the century.
There was literally no words to describe how Harrison and Hermione Felt. Over the last 2 years their lives were changing at an alarming speed. First, they find out that they have Godly parents. Second. they find out they are stronger then Demi-gods but not as strong as A God. Then for some reason they have magic (Which they didn't know existed Till they met their "Aunt") And know they have a Half Brother/Sister.
The Muggle term for My world just got flipped upside down. was the closest thing they could associate the feeling with. (And that wasn't even the tip of the Iceberg)
So you're my Brother/Sister They both stated at the same time.
At first Athena thought that it was not a wise decision to introduce the siblings at such a Tender age of 9 without at lease telling one another about each other. She surely thought a screaming match was to rise soon. But to her delight all her children did were smile rather Dumbly (As she thought) to each other.
"Nice to meet you." Hermione said Rather Bashfully.
"It's nice to you meet too." He said, red tinting his cheeks.
Athena was rather surprised at how fast her children warmed up to each other.
Instead of being awkward around each other like she thought they would, Harry just Pulled Mia through the Durslys Door and down the hallway to "The Cupboard under the stairs" Leaving behind a rather stunned mother.
As Athena walked to Harry's room she poked her head through to see what the kids were doing. To her great surprise Hermione was sitting in Harry's lap! And that was not all! Harry had his arms wrapped around her waist! What are they doing!? She thought rapidly. As she drew closer to her children she could faintly hear..
"Can I call you Ry" (its pronounced the end of Har(ry)
"Only if I can call you Mione"
Their faces drew much too close in Athena's opinion.
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat as loud as she could, causing her children to jump apart in fright.
They looked to where their mother was standing in the doorway and boy was she pissed. Her hands were on her hips, she had a smile on her face, but if you looked into her eyes you were sure to turn to stone.
"What are you two doing?" If a stranger walked into the room they would think that she was just a curious mother. But the children know their mother, and she was anything but Curious. (in this situation) In fact, that's her when she's angry.
Before the children could explain themselves there was a blinding white light.
'flash'
In the middle of Harrison's room stood a lady the same height as Athena. She had creamy white skin with reddish brown hair that flowed down her back in soft curls. Her eyes were a dark gray that stood out because of her skin tone. She was obviously a Goddess, but the children had no clue as to who she was.
"Hello" Smiled the unknown woman.
"You better explain before I send you deeper then the depths of hell!" Athena hissed dangerously at the new arrival.
"I'm fine, thank you for asking. And you look lovely as well" The newcomer said with an amused, almost mockingly smile.
"Aphrodite so help me god I'll.."
"okay, okay," The lady now known as Aphrodite said raising her arms in surrender.
"I'll explain everything. Just not in front of the children." She finished eyeing Harry and Hermione with a knowing look.
Aphrodite held up one hand, and with a snap of her fingers they were gone.
'Flash'
'Flash'
Athena and Aphrodite appeared in Dite's working chambers. The walls, were a light creamy white, and in the middle of the room was a white cloud, there was also a couch surrounding the cloud. Aphrodite gestured for Athena to sit down. And so she did.
"I'm waiting." Athena said sitting down impatiently.
Dite laughed at her Friend, the laugh sounding like tinkling bells.
"Good to know that you are still the same"
Athena was silently fuming at her friend's relaxed behaviour. She couldn't do anything to harm Aphrodite while she was in her friends domain so she settled on crossing her arms and glaring at the Goddess of love.
Dite, seeing the anxiety on her friend's face lost all air of playfulness. she then turned to face Athena and said in a serious voice "I had no hand in their behaviour. They were destined to be together."
She expected Athena to explode in anger from her vague answer, to her surprise the Glare only intestyfied.
After a moment of silence Athena finally spoke. "I had a feeling their souls were linked" she said in a sulky voice.
Aphrodite gaped at her friend with her mouth hanging open. "What? How?"
Athena shrugged rather gracefully. "When they first met. They said almost the exact same thing Sei and I said when I met him a decade ago as Lily Evans. Although I must admit, I thought that you linked their souls just to spite me"
Aphrodite raised an elegant eyebrow. "I can see why you would think such a thing. Although in my opinion, that is such a dull thing to do." She leaned back in her couch. "I would rather borrow one of Hades hell hounds and unleash them on you"
Athena gave a visible shudder at the thought. "I can still see the stiches on Ares's face from when he wronged you"
Aphrodite gave a cold, dark smirk. "He didn't know what Bit him" She said laughing at her own joke.
"POP"
"What was that sound?" Athena questioned eyeing the gleeful Goddess of love.
"Why explain when I can show you!" She smirked.
The white fluffy cloud that sat in the middle of the chamber changed to a light shade of pink. Aphrodite waved her hand in the middle of the pink cloud, where her hand once was, was now a shimmer of water. When the water set they saw an image of a room that was all to familiar to Athena.
"Impressive" Murmured Athena eyeing the cloud with calculation.
Dite giggled into her hand. "This is just the tip of an iceberg. Watch this." Aphrodite waved her hand in thin air, another cloud appeared. Instead of being white, or pink like the former clouds this one was light gray. Athena watched as dite made it large enough to walk through. Athena was about to asked what it did, when Aphrodite walked through the cloud and appeared on the other side of the room.
"I dislike using all of my Devine essence to flash around, so I created a cloud similar to what Mortals call a Black hole"
The two goddesses heard noise coming from the pink cloud, they walked back to the couch, sat down and watched as Hermione and Harry sat down on the bed, snuggled up together, and went into a peaceful slumber.
Athena frowned. "I do not like them being mated"
Aphrodite was about to protest but was silenced by Athena.
"I know what it feels like to be linked to another. The need to be near each other every chance you get. The desire to touch, to kiss… It was the very reason Harry walks this earth today. And to watch my children give in to the desire…" she trailed of with lost eyes.
The amused glint made its way back onto Aphrodite's face. "Honestly. what do you take me for, a Perv? I may not be able to completely break their link, but I can water it down. They are not the first pair of children I have watched over that are linked."
Athena blinked rapidly "What do you mean?"
Aphrodite chuckled at Athena's confused expression. "They will only feel the need to be near each other. And sometimes kiss, but I assure you that it will be age appropriate, since they are still..." She paused for a moment, finding the right words. "Children, There will only be slight peaks on the cheek, holding hands," She gestured to the image of the sleeping children "And share a bed. Only to sleep in of course" She said quick to reassure her friend. "My essence will wear off over the years. The lust will come when they are old enough. 8 or 9 years give or take.
Athena's mouth formed an O shape as she nodded dumbly at this new information.
"Would you like some Nectar?" Aphrodite asked holding a glass of gold liquid.
"Thank you" Athena replied taking the beverage.
"So, how is your work coming along"
And so the two spent the whole evening talking about pointless matters while keeping an eye on the sleeping Children through the pink cloud.
I kind of hate myself right now.
I told myself time and time again not to Start a new story until i 'Completed' a published story. That was utter Horse dung. I mean, i really didn't mean to, but i couldn't just leave the idea in my head until it vanished. i had to write it before i forgot the story. It is a Neville BxB Fanfiction. 'AHHHH!' I'm going to be one of those people who can't complete a story!
Moving on...
For those of you that are reading (Hermione Jane Granger) and (The Chamber of Secrets) I am sorry for not updating fast enough. It's taking me awhile to come up with a story idea.
Also! I have Poll up for The Devine Children! Please check it out!
