"Hogwarts Olympic Trio"

Author's Note: Harry Potter and all related characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Percy Jackson and all related demigods are the property of Rick Riordan.

Willowskeith: I don't think this fanfic is anywhere on the Percy Jackson Universe timeline, but it still remains a crossover due to the fact that characters from the Percy Jackson universe are within it. I hope that doesn't disappoint.

Chapter 2

The trio of anointed demigods looked at each other. Ron held a trident in his hand, Harry had a rod that sparked electrical power, and as for Hermione –

"Hermione," said Ron, "you now have Harry's Invisibility Cloak?"

"Time out, nephew," said Hades. "Did you say that Invisibility Cloak was Harry's? Since what point in time was it Harry's?"

"Yes, I did, Uncle. He had it ever since his first Christmas at Hogwarts."

Hades turned to Harry. "Would you care to explain, Harry?"

"I received a note with the Cloak, saying, 'Your father had this in his possession before he died. Use it well.' There was no signature on it."

"Αδελφε Ζευς, σχημα σου ουκ ην?" (Brother Zeus, this was not your plan, was it?)

Zeus grinned. "Ουκ ην, αλλα ταις ηδοναις αις εξουσιν απειρες ειναι δυνανται." (It was not, but the pleasures they will have can be infinite.)

"Τω παιδι τινα νοηματα μη διδοσο." (Don't give the boy any thoughts.)

"Ο παις ταυτα νοηματα δεδεκται, αλλ' αι ευχαριστιαι εμοι ου εισιν. Αι ευχαριστιαι τω σωματι αυτου εισιν." (The boy has received these thoughts, but the thanks are not to me. The thanks are to his body.)

"Το νοημα οι εκεινων δυων εραστων ..." (The thought of those two lovers …)

"Οι ποιουσιν θηριον μετα δυων νωτων?" (Making the beast with two backs?) said Zeus.

"Λιμνην θερμην αυτης ηυρηκε?" (Has he found her warm lake?) said Poseidon.

"Περι τινι υιω λαλουμεν, Πνευμα-Ιχθυος – περι τω υιω Μου η περι τω υιω Σου?" (Which son are we talking about, Fish Breath – about Your son or about My son?)

"Τον οδον μαχονται εβλεψας – ανεψια Μου και υιος Μου?" (Did You see the way they fight – My niece and My son?)

Hades snorted. "Ει Ρον και Ηρμιονη εραστες τελειοι εισιν, ο Αδης μακαριων πληρης εστιν." (If Ron and Hermione are perfect lovers, the Underworld is full of happy people.)

Harry cleared his throat. "If the three of You are done discussing our romantic lives for the moment – or the lack thereof …"

A record scratch on the air broke the flow of the conversation as the three gods stared at him in shock. "Say what?!"

"Did My hearing take a turn for the worse, or did I hear the Great Harry Potter, Son of the Casanova of Olympus, say that he has no romantic life?" said Hades.

"Time was, I would have said that only the gods know how many mortal broads your Father nailed by the time He was your age, Harry," said Poseidon. "The problem is, We have lived so long that We have lost count of that number … and, I guess, for a good reason."

"Yeah," said Zeus. "Imagine all the lawsuits I would receive in the modern era, suing Me for child support …"

"… If a court of law knew where to find You, brother," said Hades. He thought for a few moments. "Oh, yes, now I remember … this was one of three gifts that I gave a long time ago to a family of three wizarding brothers, the Peverells … the person who received this Cloak, Harry, was your ancestor, Ignotus Peverell. There were two other gifts … to Cadmus Peverell I gave a Resurrection Stone, which could bring back the dead … and to Antioch Peverell I gave the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in existence. The sole Peverell to survive for a long time was Ignotus."

"That time when I came across You and Professor Quirrell during my first year, Uncle, did You see me?"

"Of course I did, but I did not want to bring your presence to Quirrell's attention. Voldemort is a cunning master of the game, Potter, but I know that with the support of your friends – and Us, upon Mount Olympus and below it – you will conquer him and have a long life. If you decide to date My daughter, I have no objection, but know this: if you should break her heart, I will be there to pick up whatever pieces of you she has left for Me. Tartarus has no fury like a daughter of the Underworld. Before she will have finished her torture in such a situation, you would be begging Me to throw you into the flaming Phlegethon River for relief. Am I clear, Potter?"

"Aye, sir."

"As for you, Weasley, I am glad that you are there to be a friend and a balance to these two. I am grateful that if one of you two is likely to date My daughter, it seems to be Potter and not you – no offense."

Ron nodded. "Why do you say that, Uncle?"

"Your arguments are more like the arguments of siblings, Weasley. It would be a crime against Nature for you to fall in love with her. The birds, the Sun and the stars should fall out of the heavens if you two started to date."

"Hades is right there, son," said Poseidon. "Hermione's a wonderful young woman, but she's not your type."

Ron smiled. "Yeah, Dad. I feel she's more interested in Harry anyway. So, who would be my type, then?"

"You will have to find that out for yourself, son."

Hades held up a ring. "Now for the Resurrection Stone … hmmm … one moment, daughter …"

He put the ring to His mouth and sucked out something that screamed as it went down His esophagus. "Ooooh, I'm going to need something to soothe that indigestion …"

He brought out a dark bottle, drank from it, and belched a small flame. The demigods watched the label ("Υδωρ Φλεγεθοντος") change to Roman characters: "Phlegethon Water."

"Ah, that's soothing. Would anyone else like some?"

"No, thank you," said everyone else.

"Ah, that's alright. What's food for Underworld residents is poison for live mortals, I shouldn't wonder. Last but not least, there is the Elder Wand in your hand, Hermione … say what? It used to belong to Dumbledore! Oh, this is going to be fun!"

Zeus and Poseidon shuddered as They looked upon Hades's manic smile. Whatever could make the Lord of the Underworld smile like a hyper-caffeinated mortal could be the most terrifying prospect to hit the world yet.

"Now, as for these other weapons Our trio has received. Zeus, would You like to speak next?"

"Yes, thank You, Hades. Harry, that cylinder you carry contains the Master Lightning Bolt, the most powerful weapon in existence. At full power, a bolt from it has the equivalent of a thousand-megaton nuclear blast, so I advise you caution and plenty of training."

"All three of you need training," said Poseidon, "even you, Ron. Your trident, like My own, carries within it the power to help manipulate water as well as to create earthquakes. It is for no small reason that one of My Greek epithets was Ενοσιχθον."

"Poseidon the Earthshaker," said Ron.

"You are correct, nephew," said Zeus. "Now that you have your gifts and your blessing, how about you enjoy the rest of your weekend? We will be just a prayer away, remember that. Harry, I will talk with Hephaestus as soon as I can about forging a casing for you to wield your new weapon."

"Thank You, Father."

Each of the Hogwarts Trio hugged each one's Father. The next moment, in a flash of lightning, the Big Three were gone.
