Potter and Jackson are not mine
Ch 3
Ron, Hermione and I apparated to the stadium. It was a little far of near the little woods in Staten Island.
As we approached the stadium we looked at the banners that hung announcing Serpent Fire vs. Hudson Hawks. Without looking at anything else (though it was difficult. There was too much excitement in the air and so many different things being sold. I saw Ron's hands getting twitchy when a seller with Fudge fallers comes by.) When we reached the stands the three of us parted. I went to the west end, Ron went to the higher part while Hermione with permission from the authorities managed to go to the terrace from where with my invisibility cloak and a pair of omnioculars she scouted the whole stadium.
I was not much bothered about them though as my work was just to walk around a bit and make myself visible. Ron's theory was that if they saw one of us they would try to attack us if not then later assuming that we were alone. I was a little doubtful but had agreed.
The commentator's voice echoed over the stadium as the players walked in. It was a little like the quidditch world cup but not that great as this was just a league semi's. The match started and everyone cheered as the quaffle was thrown. For a few minutes I was absorbed in the game then I remembered my job and went to the back of the stands from where I watched everyone.
I was puzzled as to how I would find Dolohov in this crowd or even Nott who was smaller than him. I could bet that if he was here he would be in polyjuice potion. After an hour when the Serpent's were winning I started to get really anxious. Then I had a brainwave. My few months in Auror training taught me a few tricks. I decided to use it. It was a slightly complicated spell with which I could find out people using illegal magic in a certain area. Polyjuice potion classified as illegal because it could cause serious problems. You could impersonate someone and well I knew what happened in my 4th year. I muttered,"Ruvos detuctes." In a 50 meter radius I could detect illegal magic. After walking around doing the same attempt I found something. When I looked over it was only an illegal apparition.
I had completed looking in my area and was just moving away when a man a little far off got up and started walking away. I stared. It was in the middle of such an exciting match and he was leaving. I didn't bother as maybe there was a reason why he was leaving. Putting it out of my mind I walked over to that side to cast spells. Maybe he had a busy day or something. He was around 6ft 2 inches and was much taller than my 5ft 10. He had a pale complexion with dark brown hair and black eyes. He walked as he was hurrying somewhere and quickly left the stands through the staircase or I thought he did. When I walked over to produce the same spell I was suddenly hit by a sectumsempra. I gasped in pain but wasted no time in sending red sparks shooting into the sky. I was vaguely aware that the match had been stopped and ministry officials were gathering over as I looked around for Ron and Hermione. They were beside me in an instant and when they saw my pointed finger towards the exit they hurried after him. I too got up still wincing and healed myself. Someone said," Who are you. Who did this what happened." Without bothering I apparated outside the stadium where I thought he'd come. If Ron's theory was right he wouldn't apparate away. I looked around when I heard a cackle of laughter.
"Well, well if it isn't Potter. You sent me into hiding yet you come after me. "I turned and saw him looming menacingly in front of me. I was filled with hatred for the man. The number of people he had murdered. I said," Still brave, huh without your precious Dark Lord. I'll kill you like I killed him." He growled," No Potter. The Dark Lord's last wishes were to kill you and I shall do that." In a flash he had hid wand out hexed me with a silver jet of light. I dodged and wasted no time in brandishing my wand and bellowed, "STUPEFY."
He ducked and yelled,"Avada kedavra." I dodged once again and sent an impediment jinx but he blocked it. I sent a stunner but once more he blocked it. He laughed openly and sent purple flames in my direction. I disapparated and landed behind him and before he could react I said," Incaercious." The ropes binded him but he removed them with utmost simplicity. I yelled again," Reducto hoping to blow his face off but it didn't work. I used a variety of spells that I had learnt but I was no match for him who learned from Voldemort. He prepared himself to kill me. I raised my wand ready to die fighting. But little did I know that didn't need to for suddenly a boy no older than ran into the clearing and attacked Dolohov with a sword. A sword, yes a sword. Dolhov was surprised but quickly he regained his senses and disapparated from there only to appear behind the boy. The boy turned and I knew he stood no hope with dolohov. So I quickly shot a stunner at Dolhov who blocked but the boy with a yell,"Aaah." Slashed at him with my aid of spells. Dolhov looking grim and worried vanished away. The guy turned and looked at me. He too had jet black hair like me and green eyes. The only difference was he had sea green and I had emerald green. I grinned at him and said," Hi, I'm Harry, Harry Potter. He said," Hey, I'm Percy, Percy Jackson. "
Percy (age 18. No curse of Achilles)
My morning started pretty rough. First of all the moment I walked out of my cabin still sleepy I was attacked by Ares cabin whom for some reason thought it would be funny to see me doused in water. I loved water but not the dung and slime that they mixed in it. So I had to turn back and have a shower.
When I finally came to breakfast Chiron called me and said that he had a quest for me only a small one. I was to go and stop Phobos and Deimos causing a ruckus in Staten Island which was where I saw them last. Chiron said that it was Demeter's wishes as apparently some farm had been destroyed because of them. I was not exactly jumping at this idea but you couldn't ignore the god's wishes. I had actually been planning to go on a date with annabeth but instead I get to wrestle fear and terror.
I took Riptide and some ambrosia and decided to finish it fast and come back. I called Argus and told him to drive me to Manhattan from where I would just swim across. In an hour I was in the island looking around for them. I searched till afternoon but I found no sign of. I walked into a café' and ordered a bun and a coke. I sat down thinking hard as to where the hell they could be. As I was finishing my coke I heard a yell not very off. I quickly ran hoping it was. Well I was half right I saw Phobos scaring people but there was no reason to be afraid but I didn't know what the mortals were seeing. He saw me running and for a moment his smile faltered and he grew pale but his complexion quickly returned and produced fire and threw it across in aline as a barrier from him where he greeted," Hey Jackson, payback time now. But maybe he was just plain stupid or he forgot that being the sun of sea god had its advantages. I ran through the flames not bothering to put them off as I could resist fire to a certain extent. But in the dust and smoke he vanished and suddenly appeared behind me and slashed causing a gash in arm. I quickly pulled out my sword and lunged to his right but he parried. Then I feinted as if to slash at his legs but I jabbed him on the face. His nose was bleeding and before he reacted I tried to stab him but he parried quickly. Clearly he had been training. The fight continued for a few more minutes when suddenly his brother appeared and now I had to fight two of them. It was getting difficult as normally I could have taken them singly but combined they were difficult. Just then Demeter appeared behind them and I could see her angry face. My eyes widened as she advanced towards us. Deimos saw the look in my eye and turned around. He immediately said," Greetings milady." Hoping that she would not punish them. Phobos also looked and said something like," Oh shit." Demeter said," You two have been warned previously, have you not? Did I not tell you that whatever you do don't mess with my crops?"
Phobos said," Yes Ma' Deimos RUN!" And they both flashed away. Demeter sighed and said, "You know I can't really remain angry with them. After they are just little kids not much older than you." LITTLE KIDS, NOT MUCH OLDER THAN ME. What the hell was this woman talking about? She seemed to understand my confusion and said," When you've lived for as long as we have you'll find that a millennia is very small. I didn't know what the heck she was talking about and said," So now what do I do? Have you any idea where they went." She said," I think you'll find they love pine." And in a flash she was gone. What did she mean they liked pines? I didn't have a clue what she was talking about. What was I supposed to do? Go check every pine tree for them. DAMN the gods and their silly riddles. I spent half an hour brooding over and resenting the gods. Then I knew I had to get back to work so I sent an Iris message to Annabeth who was very sympathetic. "I wish I could come Percy but I Mount Olympus needs lots more decorating. Now let's think about the stupid message Demeter gave us. The only pine trees in Staten Island are in the forest at edge of the island. I would try my luck there if I were you. Anyways bye for now. IM for any help." "Bye Annabeth I said in a dull voice. I stowed the rest of the drachmas inside and hailed for a cab. Then I told him where I needed to go and he left on the outskirts of the forest. I paid him and he took off leaving me alone except for a few passing cars. I looked at the forest and its trees which towered over me meters taller. I walked in feeling slightly scared and kept going. I was very quiet and wary listening for the slightest sounds. As I crept on for about almost an hour I started to think that I'd misinterpreted the clue and was turning back when I heard laughter, more like cackling. I assumed it be it must be them and slowly trudged through the bushes. I heard voices. I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying but it didn't sound pleasant and neither did it sound like Phobos or Deimos.
From behind the bush I looked up and saw a man with a stick in his hand. On the other side of the clearing was boy staring at the man. The man yelled something and silver light came out and went to the guy at the other side. He dodged and pulled out a stick and he too said something I couldn't make out. This time red light shot out. I was puzzled. Even the Hecate children at camp couldn't do anything like this. I watched stunned as the two continued to throw light at one another. At one point by the body language of the man I knew he was about to kill. I rushed out with riptide and attacked him. I slashed at his arm when suddenly he too like the other guy disappeared with a crack. He appeared behind be and I turned around in surprise. He was about to attack when the other guy sent a red jet of light. The man stopped it but it gave me enough time to attack him yelling. The boy helped me with more lights or whatever and the man looking worried vanished away. I walked over to the boy with a weak smile when he said, "I I'm Harry, Harry Potter."
I grinned and said like him," I', m Percy, Percy Jackson".
