Chapter 19: Two demigods and three wizards join our quest
Piper p.o.v.
Leo tossed me on the back of his solid black hippogriff, he calls Torch, then had Hermione climb on behind him, and we took off, with him holding onto my waist real tight, like he thought I was going to jump off. Ginny, Jason, and Ron climbed onto Buckbeak, and followed, by the time we reached Grimmould Place the sun was starting to go down, and the neighborhood looked spooky as ever.
The moment Torch's talons had touched the ground, I had jumped off, and when Leo slid off, I punched his arm. Hermione looked at me wide-eyed as she climbed down.
"Och," Leo cried grabbing his arm. "What was that for, Beauty Queen?" I hit him again.
"I can't believe you all left him there." I cried. "What if something happens to him." I punched Leo again, and just kept punching him. "Take me back right now, Leo, you had no right bringing me here, you guys shouldn't have left him."
"Stop," Leo said. "Harry told us to."
"What if he gets hurt?" I cried. "What if they capture him and take him to the dementors. If Harry told you to jump off of Mount Olympus, would you do it."
"Probably," Leo tried to joke, which only made me madder, and I hit him again. He glared at me.
"Calm down, Piper." Jason came over, and pulled me away from Leo. "Harry knows what he's doing, plus Marauder is still with him."
"SO! He still needed our help, he needs my help." I yelled, now punching Jason.
"Piper, please." Hermione said. "Keep your voice down, the muggles will hear."
"I don't care!" I yelled, "How could we just leave Harry like that?"
"Maybe we should go inside." Ron said. I glared at him and he backed up.
"No, I'm going back to Hogwarts and get Harry." I said.
"No you're not." Jason said, walking over and grabbing my arm. "You might be scary when you're mad, but Harry is a lot scarier, and I'm not having my ass curse off because I let you fly off somewhere alone." He turned to Hermione. "Do you know how to get the door open?" She nodded, pulling out her wand, and running up the front steps, then tapped on the door.
"Jason, let go of me." I demanded. What was wrong with all of them, Harry was supposed to be their friend, how could they just abandon him like that.
The locks clicked and the door slowly opened, and when Jason went to pull me toward the door, I twisted my body around, grabbing hold of his arm, and flipped him right on to his back on the road. He huffed as the wind was knocked out of him.
"Piper," Ginny cried in shock, and ran over to Jason to make sure he was alright, but Jason was already getting back to his feet. "You didn't have to do that."
"No, what I have to do is go help Harry, before its too late." I said.
"Harry will be fine, Piper." Hermione said. "Lets go on inside and wait for him." She turned to go in, but was nearly knocked down as Marauder came running out the door. We all stared at him shocked, as he ran right up to me, grabbed hold of the sleeve of my shirt with his large fangs, being very carefull not to grab hold of my skin, he then pulled me toward the house.
"Harry's here?" I asked. Marauder let go off me long enough to nod his head, then grabbed my sleeve again and led me into the house, the others following close behind, Marauder then led me over to the staircase, he let go of my arm and got behind my legs and gave me a gentle push with his head. "Marauder, stop, where is Harry?" He gave me another push.
"I think he wants you to go upstairs." Leo said. I gave Marauder a questioning look, then turned and started to go up the stairs, but then stopped and looked behind me as Marauder growled at the others when they tried to follow.
"We'll just wait in the kitchen." Jason said,taken hold of Ginny's hand and leading her toward the kitchen.
"Good idea," Ron said. "Might find something to eat." I rolled my eyes as I went on up the stairs, when I got to the first floor landing, I was shocked to see Harry, sitting in the hallway, next to his bedroom door, leaning against the wall, he had his knees up and arms wrapped around his legs, his head laying on his knees, next to him laid his sword on the floor, which surprised me, he always turned it back to a wand when he done fighting with it. And sitting by his sword was my bow and arrows. As I watched him, he begin to rock back and forth. Marauder nudged my legs again.
I walked over and knelt in front of Harry, who didn't even seem to notice I was there. I looked back at Marauder, he was standing at the top of the steps watching, and I turned back to Harry and slowly reached out and laid my hand on his back.
"Harry, babe, whats wrong." I asked. Harry said nothing, just shook his head. I pulled my hand away, worried and not knowing what to do. "Harry, please answer me." I moved closer to him, and reached out to take his hand, and I noticed his right one was covered in blood. I looked down at his sword and saw it covered in blood, and realization suddenly hit me.
"Oh, Harry," I said, reaching out to hug him, but he suddenly jerked back, and looked up. He looked at me blinking for several minutes, like he was trying to figure out who I was, then he suddenly dodged toward me and wrapped his arms around my waist in a hug so tight I could barely breath. I didn't care though, I just wrapped my arm around him, and allowed him to berry his head in my shoulder and cry.
"It's okay, baby," I said. "I'm here now." I rubbed my up and down his back. "Whatever happen wasn't your fault?"
After a while Harry quite crying, but kept his hold on me and his head berried in my shoulder. When I realized I wasn't going to get a response from him I pulled away, and Harry looked up at me with sad Peridot green eyes; and a look that told me he couldn't believe I was pulling away from him, which made me feel bad, but his grip on me had gotten tighter and it was starting to hurt.
"Babe," I said. Laying my hands on his cheeks and wiped his tears off. "Everything is going to be okay, I swear."
"I...killed someone." Harry whispered. I sighed and stood, then helped Harry to his feet.
"Come on, Baby, you'll feel a lot better if you got his blood off you." I told him, then opened his bedroom door. Then turned to Marauder.
"Make sure no one comes in here." I told him. Marauder came running over and sat down right in front of the door. "Thank you." I then led Harry in and shut the door, and walked him over to the bed and sat him down on the edge.
"Stay there." I said, then went into his bathroom, got an old fashion wash bowl, then grabbed the body wash Harry keeps in the shower and poured some in the bowl, then filled it up with warm water from the sink, and after grabbing a wash cloth, I carried it back into the bedroom.
Harry hadn't moved, and I sat the bowl on the floor and knelt in front of him, grabbed the wash cloth, dipped it in the water, and rung it out. I then turned back to Harry and started washing the blood off his hands.
"Harry, whatever happened it wasn't your fault." I said. "I love you, and no matter what, nothing can change that." After I got through with his hands, I stood and took his ripped up shirt off and tossed it down to the floor, then dipped the cloth back in the bowl and begin to wash the dry blood off his chest, I grimaced a little because I knew this blood to be his, from where Greyback attacked him. And I was right the wounds did scar, I knew they would, after all, I had barely visible scars on my leg from where Lycaon attacked me. Harry had a habit of tracing them with his finger, when ever I propped my feet in his lap, when I was wearing shorts.
I was brought out of my thoughts when Harry suddenly grabbed my waist, stopping me from washing his chest.
"What's wrong?" I asked. Harry looked up at me with quilt in his eyes.
"I...I killed someone." He whispered, like he did out in the hall. He swallowed. "I had to, he would have killed me..I put my sword right through him.." I pulled my arm away and hugged him.
"Shhh, it's okay," I said. "Self defense."
"I don't think I can do this anymore." Harry whispered. My heart was breaking seeing him like this.
"You'll be fine, babe." I said. "You got me. And as long as we have each other we'll be just fine."
"You...you don't find me digusting." Harry asked. "You don't...I mean if you don't want to be..."
"Don't even say it." I warned. "Didn't you hear what I just said, "Harry I still want to be with you and I always well."
"What if I can't do this?" Harry asked. "What if I can't defeat Voldemort?"
I pulled away and got in front of him and laid my hands on either side of his face. "You can defeat him. You will for me, for Hera, for Jason, Percy and Annabeth, Leo, Sirius, and anyone else you hold dear, and you'll do it for James and Lily."
Harry said nothing, but he did give me a very small smile, and I smiled back and let go of him.
"I bit you'd feel even better after you take a nice warm bath." I said, then kissed Harry gently on the lips. "You just stay right there and I'll run you some bath water." I kissed his forehead and walked into the bathroom, I went to the tub and turned it on, when the water begin to fill, I went over to the bathroom closet and got out another wash cloth and a towel, and sat it on a shelf, then went back into the bedroom, and to Harry's dresser and got him out a change of clothes, which was black and grey pajama pants and a grey t-shirt.
"Come on." I said, walking over to Harry and helping him stand, I led him in the bathroom where Harry got undressed and got down in the tub, I then left the bathroom and went over and turned Harry's bed down, what he needed was sleep, if what happen didn't give him nightmares. I then carried the bowl back into the bathroom, when I entered Harry was already out of the tub and drying off. He smiled up at me looking more like his old self. I smiled back at him, but couldn't stop my eyes from wandering down his chest, and to his six-pack abs, he's no longer the too skinny guy that first came to camp, how could he be with all the working out he did with Jason and Percy.
When Harry was dressed and we left the bathroom he got in bed, and I borrowed a t-shirt and a pair of pajama pants from him and took my own shower, when I got out, Harry was asleep, laying on his back, one arm crossed over his stomach and the other up behind his head. I smiled and got in bed next to him, I put my arm around his waist and my head on his chest and went to sleep.
I don't know how long I was out, but the next thing I knew, I was waking up to Harry running his hands through my hair, it took me awhile to remember where we were or what happened, and when I looked up at Harry, I was happy to see sparkling green eyes looking back at me lovingly, he grinned and I swear his eyes lit up more.
"Feeling better?" I asked, he took his hand from my hair and laid it on my cheek.
"Much," He said. "Thanks for taken care of me." I smiled and reached up and kissed him.
"You don't have to thank me." I said. "I'll always be here to take care of you, just like I know you will always be there to take care of me."
"That I will." Harry nodded, and I laid my head back on his chest.
"Would you...would you please tell me what happen?" I said. Harry sighed and gently pushed me aside so he could set up. He than ran his hand through his hair, I sat up moved closer to him and laid my head on his shoulder.
"Harry, you really scared me." I said. "I've never seen you like that." I was almost crying when I got through Harry turned around and pulled me to him.
"I think I was almost going into shock." Harry said. "I killed a man last night." I nodded He told me that much, but I wanted to hear the whole story. And after taken a deep breath, Harry told me what had happen, that one of the Aurors had been a Death Eater, and they got in a sword fight and Harry stabbed him. But it was self-defense, we all know if given the chance he would have killed Harry without a second thought.
"It was self-defense." I told him. "You couldn't help it."
"I know that now, Baby girl." Harry said. "You really helped me."
"I'm glad." I said. "And, Babe, please don't scar me like that again." Harry kissed the top of my head and pulled me closer, and promised he wouldn't, we then fell silent, loving the comfort from each others arms, I don't know how long we had slept, but I knew it was still the same night, it was still dark out.
"Umbridge has one of Voldemort's Horcrux." Harry said, breaking our silence by shocking me.
"What?" I asked. "How did she get that."
"I don't know, and it doesn't really matter, but she has it." Harry said. "It's the locket one, she wears it around her neck, I saw it right before that fight broke out. Damn it!" Harry let go of me and he laid down. "I'm such an idiot, the locket was right there and I didn't even get it."
"Babe, you're not an idiot." I told him, laying down next to him. "You were just more worried about getting us out of there then anything." I put my arm around his waist. "We'll get it, don't worry, at least we know it wasn't thrown out. We'll just make a plan." Harry sighed and rolled over to face me, putting his arm back my waist.
"Yeah, when we are through with this quest , we'll get Nico and come up with a plan." Harry said, "I'll walk right into the Ministry and take it from her if I have to. I bet she got it from Mundungus Fletcher."
"Who?" I asked.
"Mundungus, he's a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Merlin knows why." Harry said. "He's nothing but a theft, I bit he stole the locket from here and either sold it to Umbridge or she took it from him, maybe he got caught selling stolen goods or something, and the greedy little witch had liked it or realized from the S snake on the front, it use to belong to Slytherin himself, whatever the case I'm going to get it from her."
"And I'll help you." I kissed his lips, then rolled over on to my back, Harry moved so he was laying closer to me.
"Do you remember my promise?" He asked, I smiled again.
"Yes," I said. "Nothing can keep us apart, not Voldemort or Gaea, not even death, no matter where or when I'll find my way back to you." Harry half smiled.
"Good, you just remember that." Harry said. Then leaned in and kissed me.
"I think it needs changed a little." I said. Harry cocked up one eyebrow. (I loved it when he did that)
"Oh, and what would that be?" He asked. I smiled at him, and started playing with my camp neckless, moving the beads back and forth.
"Well, for one, it shouldn't be your promise to me, but our promise to each other." I explained "Not just you finding a way back to be, we'll always find away back to each other, even if it's me having to find you." Harry smiled, his green eye shinning, he leaned in and kissed me.
"So, how should we word it." Harry asked, shifting his body so he was hovering over me. I smiled up at him.
"Like this," I said. "Nothing can keep us apart, not Voldemort nor Gaea, or any god on Olympus, not even death it's self, no matter when, where or how, we'll always find a way back to each other." Harry gave me a huge grin, his eyes looking like two sparkling emeralds shining down at me, as he leaned down and kissed me, long and deep.
"I love you." Harry said, when he pulled back, but then leaned back in and kissed me again.
"I love you too, babe." I pulled back to say. "Always will." Harry just grinned more and leaned back in for another kiss.
"I always will too." Harry said, when he pulled back, he entwined our fingers together. "Forever," He whispered leaning back in and kissing me deeper.
"Forever." I said, when he pulled back, just to start kissing down my jaw and to my neck, he let go of my hand and laid it on my waist, where it then started traveling up my shirt, I reached my arms up, wrapped them around his neck, and pulled him closer to me.
After we made love I most of fallen back to sleep, because the next thing I know I was waken up, with the spot next to me empty. I frowned and got up, dressed in a pair of black sweat pants that belonged to Harry, and a blue t-shirt, that also belonged to Harry, they were slightly big on me but I didn't care. The dagger Leo had made me had its own belt to it, so I didn't have to worry about having nothing to hook it to, I just tied it around my waist and then covered it with the bottom of my shirt. Since I didn't have a brush I made my hair short, just above my shoulders, then after grabbing my quiver and slinging it on my back I headed down stairs.
When I passed the portrait of Sirius's mom, I noticed the curtains was open and the portrait had her hands up trying to remove a shadowy hand from around its mouth. Smiling I headed down to the kitchen.
"I don't know about you all coming." Harry was saying when I opened the door and went in. Harry was sitting at the end of the table on the right side so his back was facing me, and Leo sat at the main end where Sirius usually sits, across from him was Jason, next to him was Ginny, Hermione next to her, and Ron next to her. Harry was the only one sitting on his side of the table, unless you count Marauder laying down at Harry's feet.
"You can't just leave us here, mate." Ron said. "We've helped you with dangerous stuff before."
"I know," Harry said, looking down at a map, if I had looked at Harry from far away he could be mistaken for Nico, since his hair has grown out more, and now was more shaggy like, then just a mess all over his head, and to top that off he was all in black, a plain black t-shirt, black jeans, and even black sneakers, a black hoodie laid across the back of his chair. There was also the skull ring he always wears, the one Hades had gave him on Olympus when the gods voted to let Harry live. Harry told me it was Hades way of kinda claiming him, since he was a descendant from a bloodline Hades had favored, Harry's great-great-grandfather, Ignotus Peverell, and his two brothers where three clever sons of Hades, that once tricked Thanatos the god of Death to give them powerful gifts, that's where Harry got his cloak. Anyways, Ignotus had been Hades all time favorite son, and he blessed his bloodline with a "gift" which is Harry's "death powers" that's the main reason Hera choose James Potter as the father of her demigod child, so Harry could have that gift, she wanted her child to be just as powerful as children of the big three.
"You're taken, Leo and Jason." Ron said. "And you always have Piper with you."
"Ron, I understand you guys want to help, but this is demigod stuff, it's real dangerous." Harry said.
"Can't be too much more dangerous than all the stuff we've help you do." Ron said.
"He's got you there, Uncle Harry." Leo said. Harry glared at him. Leo had changed his clothes too, he now wore dark green pants that was covered in pockets, and a light green shirt, along with his tool belt.
"Harry, you saw the paper this morning." Hermione said. "We're wanted fugitive, we can't go back to Hogwarts."
"And Ron and I can't go home right now." Ginny put in. "The Ministry will be watching our house, and even though Hermione's family are muggles they'll be watching her house too."
"What are you all talking about?" I asked, going over and sitting next to Harry, he looked over at me and gave me a huge smile, before giving me a peck on the lips and jumping up and going over to the stove.
"We are wanted by the Ministry of Magic." Jason said, he slid the wizard paper over to me. "All of us, some how they know our names." When he said that he pointed to him, then Leo, then me, as Harry came back carrying a bowl of Oatmeal, and a plate with two pieces of toast, he sat it down in front of me along with a stick of butter, and a butter knife.
"Thanks." I said, picking up the knife and stated buttering my toast as Harry poured me a glass of orange juice. I picked up the paper to see mine and my friends faces staring up at me.
"Bill brought it over." Ginny explained. "When dad saw it in the paper this morning, he had Bill come cheek on us, he also said Fred and George told him to tell Ron and I that they were very proud of us, and no longer hide the fact Ron is their brother."
"Bill also said our dad is hiding every paper that comes in from Mum, so she won't go mental." Ron said. "Now Harry doesn't want us to travel to the Bay place with you, and wants to leave me, Ginny and Hermione locked up alone in this creepy house."
"It's called the Bay Area, Ron." Hermione said. I about dropped my toast, and looked over at Harry.
"Is there a reason you want to go to the Bay Area?" I demanded.
"I used an Irish Message to call Percy and Annabeth last night after you full back to sleep." Harry said, and for some reason he blushed. "I wanted to ask Beth if she knew where my mum's garden was."
"Which was a mistake wasn't it, Uncle Harry?" Leo asked, Harry glared at him his face redder.
"Umm, am I missing something here?" I asked, taken a bit of toast. Leo laughed and Harry got redder.
"Jason and Leo was right about Percy and Annabeth on a quest for Chiron, he sent them out to find more bronze, camp is starting to run low on weapons, anyway, it was daylight where ever they were, they were camped out in some woods together they were sharing a tent and when I called them, they..umm..were.." Harry didn't finish and his face was redder then Ginny's hair, and I burst out laughing.
"It's not funny, Piper." Harry said."I thought I had disconcerted us in time, before either saw me, but Beth had, and when they were...umm..finshed she called me back." I started laughing again.
"So did she know where the garden is?" I asked.
"Percy did, he's been there before, along with that Grover bloke, and Thalia." Harry pulled the map he had been looking at to him and pointed. It's at the bottom of Mount Tam, near the mountain where your dad had been held by the giant."
"Wait, isn't Mount Tam where Annabeth says Atlas holds up the sky?" I asked. Harry nodded.
"The Nymphs are daughters of his." Harry said. "I asked Jason and Leo to come with us, incase we end up having to fight Ladon, and the other three was eavesdropping at the door."
"Let them come." I said. "They could be of some help, plus, we'll be there if anything goes wrong, you can't really except them to stay here and get bored out of their minds."
Harry sighed. "Fine, they can come." Ginny beamed.
"See, I told you we just needed to get Piper to ask him." She said.
"We know who's the boss in their relationship." Leo snickered, and then yelped when Harry kicked him.
"Why does everyone insist on beating on me." Leo said.
"Beacuse it's fun." I smirked. Leo glared at me.
"I want to leave soon." Harry said. "But how the heck is all of us going to ride?"
"Can you make a porky thingy?" Leo asked, Harry who was rolling up his map, paused and raised his eyebrow at Leo.
"I think he means Porkey." I said, taking the last drink of my juice.
"Oh," Harry said, and begin rolling the map again. "Leo that's a brilliant idea." Leo blushed at Harry prise. "But we can't porkey right into the garden, we might end up right where Ladon is and that wouldn't be good, so we'll porkey around there somewhere and walk from there."
"But, Harry," Hermione said. "I've never learned the spell for a porkey, it's not in any of the text books."
"I know it." Harry said. "My Mum told me once and I've used it, so don't worry we'll be fine."
"Oh," Hermione said, her cheeks a little pink and she looked a little put out.
"Hang on, I thought that Grover was supposed to be with Percy and Annabeth." Piper said. "Where was he when..."
Harry shrugged. "He has a defferent tent I guess, but do we really have to talk about that, and he was with them when Annabeth I. me back, they had to go to a small stream to do it. They introduced me to Grover, and when Percy said I was a son of Hera, he nearly choked on his Dr. Pepper can."
"Where'd you get that map?" I asked, as Harry reached over and slipped it in one of Leo's pockets.
"Don't lose that." He demanded, then turned to me. "Annabeth owled it to me, I guess being a daughter of Athena, she can get any owl to do what she wants."
"We should leave now." Hermione said. "Before someone from the Order shows up to cheek on us, Bill said they would, and we don't want to be here when they do, they'll try to stop us from leaving."
"Yeah, we should." Harry said. "I'd like to hurry and get this quest over with, before I end up getting myself killed by going to Olympus and smacking Zeus upside the head." After he said that we all jumped when there was a rumble of thunder, Harry rolled his eyes and looked up at the ceiling.
"I was kidding," He said, then stood. "Blimey, Jason you dad had no sense of humor." There was more thunder, and Harry snickered.
We all followed Harry out of the kitchen, up the stairs, and when he passed the portrait of Sirius' mum he glanced at it.
"Bye, granny," He said, the women's eyes got big and she tried to reply, but couldn't for the Shadowy hand over her mouth. He then turned to me and explained. "She didn't like the idea of me being Sirius' son, and hated it more when I told her my Mum wasn't a witch."
"Harry," I said. He laughed as he led us on past it, and toward the front door.
"I left out Sirius adopted me, and my Mum is Hera." Harry said, as he opened the front door. "Now she thinks I'm some kinda bastard son of Sirius' with a muggle mum. She wasted no time telling me what a disgrace I am on the House of Black." I just shook my head as we walked out the door.
We walked out into the middle of the road. "Anybody got anything that can be a porkey?" Leo begin to look around in his took belt.
"Will this do?" He asked, pulling out a piece of metal. Harry nodded and took it and pulled out his wand, pointed it at the piece of metal and said a spell, it shook and glowed then laid silent.
"Okay, everyone touch it." Harry said. We all gathered around the piece of metal and laid a finger on it, and Marauder raised his paw, and laid it on it.
"Three...Two...One." Harry counted down, then I felt the familiar feeling of being sucked into tub, as we were sucked away, when we came out it was in the middle of some empty lot. Harry was the only one left standing as we all fall down as we landed. He smiled down and grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet.
"Where are we?" Ginny asked, as Jason helped her up.
"An empty lot, four miles from Mount Tam." Harry said, tossing the piece of metal to the side. "I searched the map for a place less likely to have people walking around, so we wouldn't be seen just appearing out of nowhere."
"Good thinking, Harry." Hermione said, as Harry reached over and pulled the map out of Leo's pocket and looked at it. I couldn't help but frown at the way she sounded surprised, like she didn't believe Harry could do something smart.
"All right I know where to go." Harry said, rolling up the map, but this time he put it in the pocket of his black hoodie he had put on, which is also where he had his wand. "Come on this way." Harry reached over and grabbed my hand and we started walking toward the end of the lot, when suddenly the ground begin to shake.
"What in Merlin's left..." Ron begin as he pulled out his wand. The ground just kept shaking and then begin to rise, then form six arm creatures.
"Earthborns." Harry said, pulling out his wand, and twisting it into a sword, I slid my bow off my back and hooked an arrow, I shot it, as Harry ran forward and stabbed one of the Earthborn, it turned to dust, and Jason was now tossing his coin turning it into a sword, and Leo brought out a hammer.
"Stupfey," Hermione cried, the spell just bounced off the Earthborn, and her eyes widen. "Stupfey...stupefy.." Hermione was backing up now "Duro," she finally cried and the Earthborn gaining on her stopped and suddenly turned to stone. He looked like some weird six arm statue. Hermione grinned then turned to another coming up to her right side "Expulso." And the thing blow apart covering her in dirt.
Ginny was doing a good job with the sword Jason gave her, she had abandoned the idea of using magic on them, and took to stabbing them, she ducked as one tried to grab her and then stabbed it in the leg. Jason was fighting alongside her. I watched as Jason tossed Ginny in the air and she came down and stabbed a Earthborn right in the chest, and it burst to dust. I was beginning to think he did not only give her a sword, but has also been training her to fight.
Ron was using whatever spell he heard Hermione use, and Leo was next to him, taken out whatever Earthborn he didn't. Then one tried to grab hold of Ron and Leo knocked it in the head with his hammer.
Harry was taki ongut more than anybody was, jumping from one Earthborn to the other slicing and slashing his way through them all. He would even jump on one to get to another. Marauder right beside him, taking just as many out.
After a while Hermione just stuck with using that blowing up spell, which seem to work good. But then one was coming up behind her, I hooked an arrow and shot it, it hit the thing right between the eyes turning it to dust, but then suddenly I was grabbed from behind with six arms, I dropped my bow and struggled to get away. Then as fast as it grabbed me, it's arm loosen then fall to the ground, I turned around to see Harry standing there, sword in hand, he had come up from behind the Earthborn and stabbed it. I smiled at him then gave him a kiss.
After ten more minutes we had taken out all the Earthborn and stood there panting.
"Told you this was going to be dangerous." Harry said, twisting his sword back into a wand.
"What in the bloody hell was those things." Ron cried.
"Earthborn." Harry said. "Lesser children of Mother Earth."
"Earth?" Ron asked.
"He's means Gaea, Ron." Hermione said. "You know the one that joined forces with Voldemort."
"You're saying she's Mother Earth." Ron said. "Like the earth it's self."
"Kinda, yeah." Harry said, and Ron fearfully looked down at the ground as if he suspected it to suddenly eat him or drag him to Voldemort.
"Hang on," Ron said. "You just said this Gaea earth thing is on Voldemort's side." Harry nodded. "Well, you also said once that Zeus was You-know-Who's dad." Harry raised an eyebrow at Ron, "Then back at Grimmauld place you said, Jason's dad was Zeus."
"Don't you say what I think you're going to say, Ron." Ginny warned. Ron ignored her
"That means Jason and You-Know-Who are brothers," Ron said. "So how do you know he can be trusted."
Jason's blue eyes flashed angrily, as he took a step forward grabbed hold of Ron's shirt and shook him. "Yeah, well, how can Harry trust you, you're the one aways turning your back on him, not me, since I've known Harry I have always been there when he needed me. And whatever you do, do not ever say Voldemort is my brother." Jason gave Ron a shove. "Harry is my brother not him."
Ron scowled at Jason and pulled out his wand and pointed it at Jason. "Well, I don't trust you, I don't trust you around Harry and I sure don't trust you with my sister."
"Ron," Ginny said, "Jason and I are none of your business, and put that wand away."
"Lets all just calm down." Hermione said, stepping between them.
"Yeah, let's do what Bookworm said." Leo said, and Hermione gave him a glare. "Isn't too early to fight with each other."
"How can you even like him, Ginny." Ron said. "Don't you remember the dairy," Ginny flinched. "His brother nearly killed you, how could you trust him." Jason would have tackled Ron, if it wasn't for both Ginny and Leo holding him back.
"KNOCK IT OFF" Harry suddenly yelled. "All of you, I don't care if you like each other and I don't care if you trust each other, I trust you all and that what matters, if you want to fight with each other, do it on your own time, right now we have a garden to find, and I would like to do that before this time next year."
Harry took my hand and we walked toward the end of the lot, Marauder running along his other side. I could hear the others behind us following. No one spoke or said anything, I guess they were too scared that Harry would lose his temper and blow up again.
A.N. Sorry if Harry seemed a little OC, but even he has a right to have a little break down,but don't worry that will be the only time Harry will be like that. And if you're wondering about him being there when the others got there and he left after they did, well I figured shadow traveling would be quicker the flying on hippogriff, so even if he left Hogwarts after the others, I think he would still of got there before them, and he shadow traveled right into the house. And sorry if the chapter wasn't very good. And I know Ron seems to be acting like a jerk again, but it's only toward Jason, I figured he wouldn't like Jason being with Ginny, with the way he acted when she dated Micheal Corner and Dean Thomas in the books, and then add that in this story Voldemort and Jason are half-brothers, I figured Ron would acted even worse. And I hope I was right about Mount Tam, and where the graden was.
