Chapter 12: I get a surprised visit on my brithday.
Harry POV
It's been three weeks since the attack on camp, we got new stables bult, the dinner pavilion was back to normal, the tables back in place, some of the cabins were almost done, my was getting there. Mostly thanks to Nico's skeleton helpers. It was starting to look like camp again.
Today I was in a good mood not even thoughts of Voldemort could put me in a bad mood, why you might ask, becaues today was my birthday, and for the first time in my life, it wasn't forgotten, and the best part I would be spending it with the most beautful girl on earth. My girl Piper. For the last few days we have been staying at my place with Sirius. We went to camp during the day to help out and before it turned dark we would come home.
Piper and I had deicded to go to the movies. She dressed in a little black skirt, a white top, tall black leather boots. She also had on her camp neckless and of coures the neckless I got her. She wore her hair light brown and down her back, she had a headband pulling her hair back out of her eyes. Her eyes were light brown today. Me, I decided to wore fadded blue jeans and a white long slevee botton up shirt. I'm a guy so I'm not much for jewelry so all I had on was my camp neckless and my skull ring Hades had gave me.
The movie place was just around the block so Piper and I walked. We held hands and chatted about stuff that wasn't really important. After we picked out a movie. We were standing in line to get some popcorn. When people begin to point and whisper about us, mostly about Piper.
"That's her." A heard a young girl say. "It's Piper McLean. I remember seeing her in magazines."
"She's got her hair longer." Someone else said. "But it's her, I wonder if that means Tristen McLean's in town."
"Maybe he's doing something on Broadway." Someone else said.
"Who is the hotty she's with?" I had to stop Piper from jumping the girl that said that.
We ignored them all the best we could while I ordered a large popcorn and two drinks (tea for Piper and Cherry Coke for me). I looked down at Piper as we waited for our stuff. I reached under her chin and lifted her head to face me, so looked so annoyed. I bent and whispered in her ear.
"Baby, we can go if you want." I told her. Piper shook her and and tried to smile. Believe me I knew how she felt. I then gave her a kiss making everone whoop and whistle. Again we ignored them. It was the guys that kept checking Piper out that I found it hard to ignore. She just wrapped her arms around my waist, her way of telling me she belong to me and no one else. And then she would get mad when a girl mention how hot I was.
Finaly we got our stuff and could go hide in the dark of the theater or so I thought, from the moment we walked in the room everone stared, boys who found Piper hot, girls who pointed at me and whispered or giggled. They choose to stare at us instead of the screen the movie was about to appear on.
"Are you sure you just don't want to go?" I asked.
"No, we shouldn't have to leave." Piper said in her voice that said she was going to be stubborn about this. "It's a free country we have a right to go see a movie if we want to."
Well, I for one was getting tired of all the stares, I put up with it at Hogwarts becaues I had to live with those people all school year, chances were I was never going to see these people again. So I didn't care what they thought of me, so I stood up and said.
"Excues me," Everone stopped talking and the few that hadn't been looking looked back at us, a few younger girls, maybe about thirteen to fourteen giggled. "Just so you know the movie is going to be showed that way." I-pointed-to-the-screen."Not this way or you know... the seats would be facing this way." I sat back down, my smart mouth done the job everone turned to face the screen. Some even with a red faces.
"Harry Potter, " Piper said. "I can't believe you did that." I just shrugged and put my arm around Piper's shoulders. She laid her hand on my leg, an amused smile still on her face.
The movie we chose was about the greek gods, we thought it would be funny to see how far off they were. Which was pretty far, becaues I'm sure Posiedon didn't have blonde hair, and Aphordite wasn't a red head. Nor was my mother chubby. And Zeus didn't look like an old man or was that nice. Well not to me anyways. And I was pretty sure Apollo wasn't really Tristen McLean, (Piper swore she didn't know he was in this movie) no wonder people got so star crazy when they saw Piper and the fact we chose the one movie that had her dad was in didn't help. She mumbled something about next time seeing who was in the movie before watching it. Once the movie was over we headed out wanting to get out as fast as I could, but stopped when we saw all the news vans outside. And reporters standing around in the lobby, waiting to catch sight of Piper McLean, the daughter of one of the biggest movie stars there ever was.
Piper groaned. "I had enough of this back home, who called the press?" Then a reporter, an older women in her forties with dyed blonde hair(made me think of Rita Skeeter) looked over and saw us.
"There she is." She shouted, and they all rushed over and surrounded us.
"Miss. McLean is your father in town?" One asked.
"Umm...no he's back home." Piper stumbled out, looking around confussed as question after qusetion was thrown at her.
"Why are you in town then." Someone else asked.
"Is he your new boyfriend?" Someone else. I put my arms around Piper so I could sheld her from them all as I tried to make it past everone and out the door.
"Let us bloody through." I demanded. Pushing past, one camera guy got in the way making Piper fall down. I got anger as he started snapping pictures of me helping her up, and once I saw that Piper was alright, I turned to the guy and punched him. He hit me back, so I tackled him down and started pounding him. It was at that moment cops pulled up.
Next thing I knew I was sitting behind bars with some ugly bloke who kept talking to himself as a cell mate. I was sitting with my head in my hands, my shirt was ripped and the botton poped off so my chest showed; I also had a bloody lip. And brused jaw. I really hatted being locked up in a tiny cell it was starting to get to me.
I had been in here almost two hours before they allowed me to have my one phone call. When I called home Leo had answered. He told me Sirius had lift right after Piper had showed up without me and demanded to know where I was at, I told him I would explain later and hung up the phone. They then led me back to my cell, passed all the women prisoner who wistled at me like they did when I had passed by on the way to the phone.
"Alright, Potter your dad just posted bail." The office was back opening the cell again, and I stood up and walked out and down the hall.
"And don't let me see you in here again." He added as I walked out front. I saw a worried looking Piper standing by a ticked off looking Sirius.
"Harry," Piper cried as she ran forward and threw her arms around me. I could tell by the redness of her eyes she had been crying. "I'm so sorry, this is all my fault."
"No, it's not." I told her. Rubbing her back.
"No , it's all his own fault." Sirius said. he handed me a clean t-shirt. "Put that on. You need to learn to contral that temper." I took my other shirt off and tossed it in a trash can on my way outside. "It's going to get you kill one day."
When we got back to our place, Sirius turned to me and said. "Not one word of were you've been to anyone in here." Then opened the door and turned the lights on and I had a dozen or more people jumping up and screaming surprise. I about jumped out of my skin, I even pulled my wand out, into I realized what was happening. Piper wanting to go to the movies was just so Sirius and my friends could come in and set up a surprise party. That's way she was so set on watching the movie and not leaving to get away from all those goaking idoits. And now I felt like the biggest git in the world.
Just about eveone I knew was here. All my wizard friends: The Weasleys, Tonks, Lupin, Hermione, to my surprise Fleur Delacour, along with all my demigod friends: Annabeth, Percy, Nico, Jason, Luna, Leo, his sister Nyssa who I've become friends with ever since she made Goldie's new cage, and Leo also brought Lou Ellen along with him. Tyson was also here.
The apartment looked good with strimers hanging everwhere, a big Happy Birthday sign hung in the doorway, color changing bubles floated in the air, charmed to not pop. Ms. Jackson stood at the kitchen counter lighting candles on a large blue birthday cake. And it all made me feel even worse. But that guy had triped Piper I had a right to punch him.
Everone was having a good time. Piper and I took a seat on the love seat next to us on the couch was Annabeth, Percy, Jason, and Ginny was sitting.
"Hey guys," I said as I sat down. "I thought you all didn't know when my birthday was."
"Sirius, told us a couple days ago." Percy said. He took a drink from a cherry coke can. But Annabeth was looking me over.
"Harry were you in a fight." She asked Looking at my lip and jaw. "And what took you guys so long, You've been go hours?" My face turned red "Then Piper came back without you looking paniced, grabed Sirius' arm and pulled him out without a word , then he came back in and said you was going to pick you up."
"I'll explain after the party when everone else leaves." I told her looking over at Sirius who I saw whispering in Lupin's ear. His eye widen and he looked my way. So I looked down at my hands.
"He won't be mad at you for ever." Piper said taking my hand in hers.
"Sirius is mad at you." Percy asked confussed. I nodded.
"Lets change the subject." Piper told them.
"Arry," Someone said and I turned to see Fleur coming over. "How have you been." She kissed either side of my face. I senes rather then saw the glare Piper was giving her. "You should of owled me when you were kicked out of Hogwarts, I could of spoke with Madam Maxim and got you into Beauxbatons. You didn't have to go to some summer camp." She said summer camp like it was the worse place in the world.
"It's fine Fleur." I said, feeling a little annoyed there is nothing wrong with camp, it's the best place besides Hogwarts, in someways it's better then Hogwarts.
"You are sweet." Fleur said. As Bill Weasley walked over and shook my hand.
"Harry, I never got the chance to thank you for saving me." Bill said.
"You don't have to." I said. "I wasn't about to leave you there."
"Have you heard the good news." Fleur said.
"What good news." I asked. Fleur threw a glare at Ginny.
"As shocking as it is, there is other things to talk about besides you." Ginny told her, which made both Piper and Jason snicker. Fleur chose to ignore Ginny's smart mouth, but Bill shot her a warning look.
"Bill, and I are getting married." Fleur said. Showing off a ring on her finger. I saw Ginny roll her eyes and say something to Jason who snickered into his hand. Thats when I noticed they were sitting pretty close to each other, Jason even had his hand on Ginny's leg.
"How nice." I said, not really knowing what to say to her. I've never been told by anyone that they were getting married or have I ever been to a wedding before.
"You're invited of course." Fleur said. "Bill said you have a girlfriend, she can come too." She glanced at Piper. "Is that her."
"Yes," I said, smiling. "This is Piper." Fleur looked Piper over, and not finding anything wrong with her said.
"Never cared much for brown hair." Fleur said. Everone around us stopped what they were doing. Percy Annabeth, and Jason hadn't really been paying attention to us and was talking with one another. They stopped and turned to look at us, and Ginny was looking up at Fleur with her mouth open.
I looked at Piper and saw anger cross her face. But then she closed her eyes and made a face. Her her turned a silvery blonde, and when she opened her eyes they were a deep blue. She made herself look like a younger more taned Fleur.
"Better," She said to Fleur with a smirk on her face. Fleur's face turned red and she opened her mouth but Bill cut across her.
"Look over there is mum, lets go say hi to her." He then put his hands on her shoulders and led her away. Stopping the fight that was sure to happen.
"I can't believe, Bill is going to marry that." Piper scowled.
"Fleur's not that bad once you get to know her." I said, then wished I hadn't. Piper gave me such an mad glared I flinced.
"I guess that was the Fleur Dealcour, the one you spent so much time around that you knew what french sounds like." Piper said. Her voice held both jealousy and venom.
"Baby, I already told you Fleur and I are just friends." I said.
"Whatever," Piper huffed and crossed her arms. I could hear Percy snickering at me, so I glared at him, which only made him snicker more. It took me almost an hour to get Piper to cheer up and talk to me again. She finaly got over her jealousy when she decided, "slutty little things like that wasn't my type anyways." Which made Percy spit out his Cherry Coke he had just took a drink of.
A while later I was laughing and joking with Percy and Jason when I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I turned around to see Ron standing at the arm of the love seat, my smile droped and Piper glared at him and took my hand in hers. I can remember the last time I saw Ron, he had called me "Potter" and acused me of running out on the wizard world and leaving them to fight Voldemort alone. Which ended up with him getting a black eye from Piper.
Ron glanced nervously at Piper who was glaring a hole through him, if looks could kill the Weasley parents would have one less son.
"Umm.. Harry...I just..." Ron said.
"What no Potter?" I asked. Raising an eyebrow. Ron's ears turned red.
"Listen, Harry." Ron said. "I just wanted to tell you. I was wrong, and that I'm sorry." I said nothing, I just sat there and studyed Ron's face.
"You're sorry," I finaly said. "How many times have I heard you say those words, Ron. This wasn't the first time you've turned your back on me. How can I be sure it would be the last?"
"I know I was wrong now." Ron said. "I regreted the fight the moment you left the room. I was just mad and...and everthing."
I sighed looked to Piper who nodded her head, then turned back to Ron. "Alright, Ron. I forgive you, mostly becaues I would hate to lose your friendship, but don't turn on me anymore or that will be it, no more chances, and no more being your friend, I don't mean to sound curel, but I need friends I can trust."
"I swear, I won't." Ron said, he then smiled. "Harry, you sure look different." I knew it was his weak way of changing the subject. To act like our fight had never happen or the talk we just had.
"It's the no glasses thing," I joked. "Take you're glasses off and you look like a whole different person." I pointed to the other side of Piper."Have a seat talk to us."
Ron smile and sat down. "So what were you all talking about."
"The greek gods." Hermione answered."Harry, was explaining everthing, and they told me who their parents are, all but Piper."
"My mom's Aphordite." Piper said. "The goddess of love and beauty." I smiled at her and ran my hand through her hair. She had put it back brown.
We chatted more about gods and I told them all about camp and the battle. Ron thanked me for saving Bill. I think thats really what made him change his mind about me, becaues Bill had told them all about running back in and saving him even though the whole place was coming down.
Time seemed to go by fast, I opened my gifts; I got a book about drakens from Annabeth, a javelin from Jason, a Weasley sweater and fudge from Ms. and Mr. Wealsey, Tyson made me a set of battle armor, so I'll quite getting hurt in battle He told me.
I also got a sheld from an unknown person the gift had no card in it or anything, and everone here said they didn't give it to me. It was pretty cool though, it was about the size of a galleon, but when I pushed the greek letter H in the middle of it, it grow to the size of a normal sheld, that way I could carry it around in my pocket, and have it if I need it. It wasn't fancy or anything, it was bronze with a greek H in the middle of it, but I didn't care. It was to sheld me from things, not look pretty.
The gift I got from Leo was cool, after making Piper's dagger, he had some of the horn left over so he took it and made me this pocket watch, it was like Mrs. Weasley's clock, (I had told him about it once) but instead of the Wesaley's faces on the hands, it had in gold letters a name on each hand: Percy Jackson, Annabeth chase, Piper McLean, Leo Valdaz, Nico di'Angelo, Jason Grace and Harry Potter, and the watch said things like: At camp, at home, on a quest, hurt, dead, in the Underworld, visiting, in battle, in danger, on Olympus, and under the sea.
I opend Piper's gift last, she had gotten me a quidditch set, it had two blugers, beater bats, the quaffle, and a golden snitch, all the things needed for a game of quidditch. It was the best birthday I had ever had. Argues even showed up with a loud of gifts from Hera, and a note from her saying she was sorry she couldn't make it and would explain why next time I saw her.
When I noticed I hadn't got a gift from Sirius, he whisperd in my ear, he'd give it to me once Mrs. Weasley left, which meant it would be something she wouldn't approve of, which also meant it would be good.
Not long after I opened all my gifts everone started leaving, and soon it was just, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, and my demigod friends, Percy's mum even left. That was when Sirius deicded to give me the birthday gift he had got me. And I couldn't believe it when he took me outside to the parking gargage and there next to Sirius' Harley-Davidson he had got right after moving here, (which was red and gold), was another Harley a little smaller then Sirius' and was green with a picture of a hawk.
Sirius grined. "Happy birthday, pup." My mouth dropped open.
"You got me a Harley," I said. No wonder he waited for Mrs. Wesaley to leave, she would of had a fit. Any other time Sirius wouldn't of cared, but he didn't want a big fight to ruin my birthday Piper and Fleur already almost got into a fist fight. Plues there was the whole getting jailed thing.
"Man, why didn't you adopt me." Leo said. Looking my new Harley over. He had this look on his face that told me he was dieing to take it apart and see how it was put togather.
"You know, Padfoot, my birthday's coming up." Percy joked. Making Annabeth hit him.
"If you want one I can get you one." Sirius shrugged.
"No, thanks my mom would kill me and you both." Percy said. Smiling, I think he thought Sirius was joking, but knowing how much gold Sirius had at Gringots and how easy it was to switch it for muggle money, and how he loved to do that becaues he knew his mother would have a fit if she was alive. I dought he was kiding.
"Go on Pup take it for a ride." Sirius said. I grined and got on then told Piper to get on behind me, then took off.
It was sometime later after I let everone have a go on my new bike, Tonks and Lupin had already left, so had Leo, Jason, and Tyson. Annabeth, Percy, Sirius, Piper and I was all that was left, Percy and Annabeth would be staying at his place so they were helping us clean up. Piper had changed out of the little black skirt and was now in pajama pants and a tank top, she also had her hair pulled back in a ponytail, she still looked beautfull though.
I was wipping off the counter with a wash rag, Percy and Sirius was sitting on the couch chatting, (Okay so not all of us was cleaning) Piper had just turned around to take another plate to the sink were Annabeth stood putting them in the dishwasher.
"I can't believe you got jailed." Percy said. I had explained to everone what had happened at the movie place, Sirius was less angery now that he knew I had beat up that camera guy becaues he had knocked Piper down. He had laughed and said. Sounds like something James would of done. Then told me about this time my real dad had got so mad when a Slytherin had called Lily a mudblood, that he threw down his wand and beat the git up with his fist. He got three weeks detention for it.
"It'll be on the new." Annabeth said. "No way are they going not so it. Harry you're lucky Piper could charmpspeak that guy into not pressing charges against you."
Piper handed her anpther plate to put in the dishwasher, when suddenly there was this loud knock on the door. We all paused what we were doing, Piper paused on her way back to pick up another plate, Annabeth had paused as she was putting the one Piper just handed her in the dishwasher, and I paused as I lifted up a bowl to wip under it. We all then looked at one another with eyebrows raised. Then the person knocked again a little harder.
I sat the bowl back down and laid the rag next to it, then took a step toward the door as the person knocked again.
"Hang on, Pup," Sirius said, standing up and pulling out his wand. "Let me answer it." He went over and peeped out the peep hole. He turned around to us with a frown on his face.
"Do any of you know a tall guy with black hair and beard, with blue eyes?" He asked. I frowned and looked toward Percy.
Percy now stood up frowing as the guy knock again this time so hard he rattled the door. "What's he wearing?" I guess Percy was thinking the samething I was, the guy sounded a lot like a god we knew. Sirius peeped out the peep hole again.
"Black slacks, a slik blue shirt with lighting all over it, and loafers." Sirius answered. Percy and I looked at one another both eyebrows rasied. The guy knocked again, he sounded like he was getting angry we hadn't answered yet.
"Go ahead, open the door, dad." I told him. "I think I know who it is." Sirius gave me a questioning look, but unlocked the door and pulled it open. And to all of us demigods shock there in the dooway stood Zeus king of the gods; his long hair was tyed back in a ponytail.
"Well, its about time." Zeus snapped and without being invitted, he pushed passed Sirius and stepped in. "I wish to speak with Heracleitus alone."
"Now just wait a mintue here." Sirius glared at Zeus not realizing who he was. "You just can't come in here.."
"Dad," I said rushing over and covering Sirus' mouth, I really didn't want my dad zapped on my birthday. "It's okay," I uncovered his mouth. "This is Zeus, king of the gods."
"I don't car..." I covered Sirius' mouth again.
"Dad?" Zeus questioned, looking from me to Sirius. "Hera told me James Potter was dead." I flinced at the careless way he said that and Sirius glared at Zeus over my hand.
"My birth father is...dead" I said, holding back the words I was dieing to say to him. I promised Hera I would do my best to contral my temper when I was around Zeus. "Sirius here is my adopted father."
"Is there a place we could talk alone." Zeus demanded. Changing the subject like he could careless who Sirius was.
"We can go to my room." I told him. He nodded and I led the way down the hall and to my room. I opened the door and let him step in first. Before going in after him and closing the door behind me.
Zeus stood there a mintue and looked my small room over, his eye fell on the throw of Hera I had hanging on my wall. It showed a sideways picture of Hera, sitting on a throne, under a pomegranate tree, a hawk on her shoulder, her hand held out with a cockoo brid on her finger, there was a staff in her other hand, and a lion and peacock was down at her feet. In the back ground up on a hill was a herd of cattle, and boardering the throw was lotus and lilies all around it. Anything that has to do with Hera was on it.
Zeus finaly took his eye off it and looked around my room. It wasn't much; had a bed, a dresser, desk and chair, and a few things hanging on my wall, some books over in the coner neatly stacked. Over my bed hung my broom, a picture of Piper was on my bedside table, and one of me and her sat on my desk next to one of Jason and me. Jason had his arm around my shoulders in a brotherly way and we were standing outside of the big houes at camp. Both smiling, he had on a Zeus cabin t-shirt and I wore a Hera cabin t-shirt. Percy told me once that cabin t-shirts was something new at camp, they had got them right before I came. After the minor gods had been given cabins, they had gotten so many demigods, that it was hard to keep trake at who was in what cabin, so they had got cabin t-shirts, so if you wanted people to know what cabin you belong to you could wear one.
"Have a seat." Zeus told me as he went over and pulled out my desk chair and sat down. I walked toward my bed picking up the clothes Piper had just changed out of and had left laying on my bedroom floor. I was dieing to tell Zeus, he couldn't tell me what to do in my own room as I sat on the edge of my bed. But remembering the promise I had mad to Hera I didn't.
"You are very clean." Zeus said. Looking around my room then his eyes fell on the clothes of Piper's I had in my hand. "You take that after your mother you know, Hera is always going around picking up after me." His eyes flickred back to the throw on my wall. "She is very angry at me right now, I had forbide her to come here to see you." On that I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
"That's way Argus had to bring me her gifts." I said. "You had no right to do that, you forbide my mother to see me, but you came yourself."
"Do not start, Heracleitus." Zeus warned. "I could not have her here and resk finding out I was coming to see you. She would not like what I'm about to tell you." I frowned at that. "No, you're mother would have a fit if she knew, and I do not wish to get into it with her over you, again. She may even take revenge by sending Jason on a dangerous quest." He picked up the picture of Jason and I as he said his name. "Besides, I bet you rather not have her finding out you just got out of jail." My face turned red at that.
"You're sending me on a quest?" I asked. My temper fadding as I became curious. And ignoring the part about me being in jail.
"Kinda," Zeus said. "But you may not take anyone with you, alright you may take the daughter of Aphordite." He added when I had open my mouth to argue. "But no one else."
"What is it you want me to do?" I asked. Zeus looked down at my picture in his hands.
"There is this sword." Zeus said. "It is a very powerful and dangerous sword. Not many know of it, heros like yourself have not used it in eons, it was hidden away becaues of the danger it held on the hero who used it."
"You're not talking about the sword of Hades are you?" I asked.
"How did you..." Zeus started, but then shook his head. "Demigods dreams," Zeus sighed."You are right I am not talking about the sword of Hades, I have forbide him to lend you that sword. No, the sword I'm talking about I created myself, forge of the heaven and earth, I used it once in the first titan war. It's known as The Blade of Olympus."
"So, where is this sword" I asked.
"No one knows." Zeus said. "It hasn't been seen in a long...long time. That is your quest find the sword and you can use it to defeat..well, you know who you'll be fighting with it." Zeus couldn't bring himself to say his son's name, and there for a second I saw pain cross his face as he thought of him. He then looked back down of the picture of me and Jason in his hand. I remembered Posiedon asking Zeus about letting me use what most be the sword Zeus now told me about.
"You're talking bout the sword, Lord Poseidon mentioned in my dream aren't you?" I asked.
"I get yelled at and disrescpted and he gets Lord Poseidon." Zeus mumbled under his breath. I almost laughed at how it sounded as if Zeus was jealous. But didn't becaues I knew it would just piss him off. And he was trying to help me in his own little way.
"Yes, I am talking about that sword, and you just reminded me of something." Zeus reached in his pocket and pulled out what looked like two pearls. "Posiedon said to give you these." He said sitting them on the desk. "If you get into trouble and need a quick excape just step on a pearl and think of where you want to go, but remember one pearl to a person, a pearl can not take two different people." I looked at the pearls and smiled a little. Poseidon had sent two. It was like he knew, no matter what Zeus said I would take Piper with me. "
"You are very close to my son." Zeus said, it was more of a statement then a question. My eyes left the pearls and went to him, I saw he was looking at the picture again.
"He's my brother." I said. And a almost smile fell on Zeus' lipes. He then sat the picture back on my desk, but not in it's right place; something that annoyed me. After living with someone like Aunt Petunia, and having to clean her houes, I was almost as much as a clean freak as she was. If it wasn't for me this apartment would be a mess. Sirius wasn't by any means nasty, but he wasn't one for picking up after himself either.
"Do not tell anyone besides the daughter of Aphordite about this quest." Zeus said. He stood. "Not even your ...um dad, and I suggest to pay a visit to the Graeae. They seem to know everthing." I didn't know who or what the Graeae was, but deicded to ask Piper later so Zeus wouldn't think I was an idoit.
Zeus was about to open my door to go out it when I asked.
"Why'd you tell Enyo to leave me alone?" I asked. He stoped with his hand on the door knob. He turned around and looked back at me. "You don' like me so why would you tell Enyo to leave me alone, and..why...why did you save me from the dementors?"
Zeus stared at me for a moment before saying. "I can't have you die before..you kill...Tom, you are the only one who can."
I looked at him confussed. "What are talking about if I die before Voldemort, Percy can take him out."
"No," Zeus said. "It has to be you." He then reached down picked up my bag that sat by my dresser, he reached in it and pulled out the little glass orb from the minstry. He then tossed it on the floor at my feet. Where it broke releashing this green smoke and I heard a voice that sounded like Trelawny.
"The one with the power to vanqush the dark lord approaches...Born to those that who have thrice defied him, Born as the seven mouth dies...And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, But he well have power the Dark Lord knows not...And neither can live while the others survives."
I looked up and Zeus with my mouth hanging open but Zeus was no longer standing there. I looked back down at the broken orb at my feet, and sighed. So that was the porphcey Voldemort had wanted to hear. One of us will end up having to kill the other. That was my destiny to either kill someone or be killed by them. I stood up and picked up the glass from the floor and dropped it in the wast basket. I then sat my picture back in it's right place and picked up the picture of Piper and I. I was leaning up againt Thalia's tree, Piper was infont of me and my arms was around her waist and she was leaning into my chest our cheeks touching each others and smiling.
I decided right then and there that I would make sure I was the one to kill instead of being killed. I was going to live, I would do it for Piper. So we could have a happy life togather.
I put the picture back down and left my room to join the others, stopping to step in the bathroom to put Piper's dirty clothes in the hamper. Then headed back toward the livingroom, where everone was now watching the news, and of course the story was about Piper McLean boyfriend being jailed for beating up someone.
I would have to make something up to tell my friends as to why Zeus had visited me. I would wait for Sirius to go to bed, before Piper and go find that sword wherever it was. I was more determind now then ever to take out Voldemort once and for all.
A.N. Sorry if this chapter wasn't very good or boring, but I needed to get this out of the way, so I could get to Harry's quest. It will be a little bit before my next chapter. I'm getting a little writers block, and I want Piper's and Harry's quest to be good so I have to think the next chapter out. Piper and Harry will most likely end up fighting a monster of somekind, i just got to think of what would be good. And the Graeae will send Piper and Harry to someone else, and might even make them do them a favor before they tell them anything so I have to think on it. Like I said I'm getting a little writers block.
