Chapter, no sorry Light two of 'Witch of Olympus', at the current moment there is very few differences between 'Witch of Olympus' and 'Divine Darkness' the next chapter however is where the major split begins. Oh in this story Selene will be creating her own version of the Order of the Phoenix, it will be around fifth year and it'll replace the DA, it'll however continue until the end of the war, afterwards the members will split and go their separate ways.

Light II: Growth and Magic

Selene's early life soon came to be one of the most comical things that ever graced Olympus, the sight of the beautiful and reserved Aphrodite carrying a baby became commonplace, as she grew older Selene's beauty became apparent. Her features became almost identical to her birth mother's but minor imperfections here and there were cleaned away by her adoption to Aphrodite, Her body remained lithe as she grew older but she had visible muscles even at a young age due to Hephaestus adopting her.

When she turned four Athena grew interested in her and started teaching her, to the goddesses surprise and amazement Selene was a quick study with a fast and precise mind. Soon after Athena started teaching her Selene released a massive burst of magic and started doing accidental magic, at that point Hecate started teaching her. Selene quickly flew through both magic and mortal subjects, she became one of the few Mortals or Demigods not born of Athena who could keep up with Athena and impress her with her ingenuity and photographic memory.

At the age of five, Selene could cast dozens of spells without the use of a wand, due to her aunts training. At this point Hephaestus and Ares started training her in Forging and Fighting respectively, even though her arrival signaled the end of his relationship with Aphrodite, Ares came to love Selene like his own children or even better. She quickly became a deadly fighter who would use anything and everything to survive in a fight, her skills with any sort of melee weapon short of hunting knives was amazing. In the forges she learned many skills around creating and improving weapons and armor, Hephaestus was tempted at several points to send her to his sons so they could learn from her.

After turning six, Selene's training increased with Apollo teaching her music and archery and Artemis teaching her the skills of a Hunter. Apollo was quick to hook Selene on Japan and get her interested in their culture, as a result Selene started wearing Kimono's as her choice of clothing. Hecate would laugh under her breath at this as she knew it was Selene's natural desire to wear wizard robes breaking through and making her wear the closest available type of clothing which just happened to be Kimonos. Artemis, Athena, Hera and Aphrodite all had different reactions to this however. Artemis was quick to point out to disadvantages Kimonos would cause in a fight and was awestruck to watch a Kimono wearing Selene outpace one of her hunters almost effortlessly without a single hair out of place or her clothing ruffled. Athena nodded in admiration as she quickly saw that the outfit was both beautiful and practical at the same time. Hera nodded at the aura of respectability and maturity the clothing exuded, she knew Selene was young but well on her way to becoming a young woman to be proud off. Aphrodite was overjoyed to see her daughter having a fashion sense that was not only practical but also beautiful and she started wearing Kimonos as well.

When she was seven, Selene started to learn leadership from Zeus and statesmanship and Noble Manners from Hera, she also learned cooking form Hestia. Her meal even though they were made from Mortal foods were happily consumed by the Gods and whenever there was a feast or solstice, Selene was the one to cook the food. Selene's leadership abilities were just as impressive and if Zeus hadn't mellowed out as much as he has he would of thought her a threat to his rule, instead he was just proud of his Granddaughter's ability to rule. Hera found that Selene was a very well mannered girl and by the second month of training not only could she run a business or household perfectly but she could also, plan and put into action a banquet for fifty people at less than a hours notice. Hestia found Selene to be a quick learner like all her other teachers did, Selene quickly went from the basic cooking to elaborate and artful dishes that made even Hestia stop and gape at them.

When she turned Eight, Selene started learning about Automatons from Hephaestus and the principles behind becoming an Animagi from Hecate. Selene quickly filled her father's workshop with automatons both mechanical and magical in nature, she quickly set to creating pocket automatons for a variety of tasks. From Hecate she quickly learned the Animagi principles and the how to of the transformation, when she finally went through with it she shocked all of Olympus, she turned into a Phoenix and not just any Phoenix but a new breed with shining silver and gold wings and Emerald eyes, as a Phoenix she had five songs, 1 to promote healing for those of the Light, 1 to give hope to those of the Light, 1 to sense magic from all sources and show its nature, 1 to cause pain to those of the Dark and the last song which slays those with hearts filled with Darkness, becoming a Phoenix Animagi had several effects on her body, first her hair now has feathers interwoven in it that can only be seen if one carefully observes her hair, her tears are now silver and can heal just like a phoenix's can, Her voice gains a melodic quality to it that makes even the Gods stops with wonder when she sings, Apollo has been known to break down crying at the sound of her singing due to its vastly superior quality to his own.

Nothing truly major happened in her ninth year, Selene just kept learning from her tutors, Lady Demeter, Lord Poseidon or Dionysus didn't have anything to teach her unfortunately, Hades on the other hand said that she was too young and when she turned fifteen he'd start teaching her to manipulate the Underworld with his blessing. So Selene's education was presided over by Ares, Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hephaestus Hera, Hestia and Zeus. While Selene's personality was for the most part respectful, she had acquired a tendency to use sarcasm whenever something idiotic was said around her, over three-quarters of her talks with Ares was pure Sarcasm. On a completely unrelated note Selene learned how to curse so well it would make sailors blush, in six different languages (English, Greek, Latin, French, German and Mandarin(Chinese)) While Athena was not happy about her cursing, she was surprised and delighted to learn that she could speak several languages.

It was her Tenth year that brought the most interesting changes about, Hecate took Selene on a trip to Diagon Alley. Once there Selene took out her special box, It had Two Silver Phoenix Feathers (Painlessly taken with Hecate's Help), Two strands of Unicorn hair, Two Griffin Feathers and Last but not least two Twenty Inch planks of Olympian wood from the eldest Tree on Olympus. Selene was here to have her wand created, she walks into a store called Ollivander's Wand Shop, she quickly met a nice old man named (Here's a shocker) Ollivander. He was overjoyed to see a customer especially one that wants a custom wand, when she showed him the materials he stared at Selene for several minutes wondering where on Earth the girl got such priceless ingredients. He quickly and efficiently created two 18 Inch wands from the materials, Normally the shorter the wand the better the Wizard or Witches ability to focus magic, however with two or more cores (To a maximum of six) a longer wand is required and 18 Inch is the longest wand type ever known, however staves (Plural of Staff) have been known to be up to six feet in length and have up to eight cores. The wand naturally bonds with Selene, when asked about the other wand Selene gave specific instructions "Whoever manages to bond with the other wand may have it for free Mister Ollivander, you see I'm an Animagus and my Animagi form is a Silver and Gold Phoenix, one day I decided to have two of my feathers taken and stored to one day create my wand and one other for whoever is worth of wielding it, so whoever picks up the second wand is welcome to it." Ollivander watches as Selene and Hecate walk out the door and has to hold a hand to his racing heart, when Selene spoke it felt as if she were a mother and was gently telling her child off, it was kind but held hints of power for those foolish enough to risk her Ire, it was very similar to the grandfatherly tone Dumbledore used on his students. Ollivander smiles at the thought and wonders what will happen when Selene and Dumbledore meet.

Selene was quite surprised to receive the letter in Olympus and gave the barn owl who delivered it a treat, Zeus however spent several days trying to figure out how the owl had got to Olympus, coincidentally during this time Athena was almost impossible to find.

Selene then takes another trip to Diagon Alley with her Aunt Hecate. As before Selene is somewhat overwhelmed by the appearance of Diagon Alley, she spends several seconds looking at some structures that blatantly defy physics and the laws of nature, then she shrugs and keeps walking, in her mind the fact that she lives in a palace that floats several hundred feet above Manhattan and yet still seems to get power and water (Thank you Hephaestus) without any possible means of this happening leaves her a little more accepting of impossible architecture, she once joked to Athena that you'd need a special diploma in Godly architecture to design buildings on Olympus, Athena laughed and nervously hid a diploma that was hanging on her wall.

After she had gone through the Alley and bought all her supplies, Selene had purchased a Snow Owl she named Hedwig and was walking past Ollivander's when she sees a girl with brown wavy hair go inside, while that girl is inside she sneaks in and stands in the background. The girl is with an elder woman wearing a green dress and having her hair done up in a tight braid. She watches as the girl tries hundreds of wands, Selene perks up when she notices the sister wand to her own being given to the girl. Suddenly the shop is filled with light magic as the wand accepts her, releasing silver and golden sparks from its tip and emitting a hum remarkably similar to Selene's humming.

Before Ollivander can say anything Selene says

"My Gods that was quite a spectacle wasn't it?"

As you might have notice the majority of the changes was near the end, you'll also notice that in 'Divine Darkness' two of her wands cores (Thestral Hair, and Banshee Hair) could be consider materials from a Dark creature, whereas here all three cores are from creatures of the Light, that are known for protecting others. Not to give anything away but the chance of this story continuing after the end of 'Deathly Hallows' is minimal. The Epilogue will explain it.

Considering doing a Fem!Harry/Hermione One-shot based on all those wrong Boy/Girl-who-Lived stories, It'll probably be very Lemony and will be very, very angst filled.
