Hermes' POV

He was finally beginning to give up. It had now been 50,000 years since he received that prophecy, and no daughter of Apollo has stolen his heart. He kept it, even though it's all broken and damaged.

He feels lonelier every day, and as he sees his children and "lovers" die, that void enlarges. The thing that scares him the most tough, is that he won't know love, and he needs it. He is sick of flings or school-boy crushes, he needs something, someone real.

Someone to pick him up and comfort him, see through his mask. He may be playful and mischievous on the outside, but as his faith dies, so does his whole existence. He doesn't know the meaning of life anymore, he's just a machine.

He has a job, and he does it. He has a reputation, and he keeps it. But he also has a broken heart, and there's no getting rid of that.

Every day he sends out search parties or goes himself. He looks from Egypt to San Francisco, from New York to France, and from Olympus to Tartarus. The other gods, who are normally trying to beat him up for a trick he played on them are all coming up to him, helping his cause. Zeus ordered all of Olympus to look for his beloved, Hera gave him pep talks about his future marriage which was supposedly predicted by Apollo, Ares sent millions of dead soldiers(or zombies) to look for her, Artemis and her hunters tracked down all of Apollo's kids, Hades personally checked on all of the demigods entering his kingdom as did Poseidon, and Aphrodite tried to situate his future wife by tracing back their bond.

Of course, many more helped, but none of it seemed to work. Hermes was then tempted to just go into a sort of coma, to get away from all this. But he didn't.

He had a job to do, and to ignore it would be selfish. Even though he wasn't finding love, didn't mean that he had to make his family miserable too. So he put on a brave face, secured his sandals, and set off to wherever he was supposed to go next.

A whooshing sound could be heard as he reappeared in a completely different place, and as he kept walking, he noticed a sign that read "Welcome to Hogwarts, School Of Witchraft And Wizardry". What could he possibly need to deliver to Hecate's pet world? As he snapped his fingers, a box containing what seemed to be crystal balls appeared in his arms. Attached to the box was a note that said"Crystal seeing balls for Sybill Trelawney, Hogwarts Tower."

So the woman was a seer. What if she was the mother of his love? Could it really be that his future wife was standing just feet away from him, in that weird castle? After some thorough thinking, Hermes decided not to get his hopes, he just had to deliver a package.

With a sigh, he followed Apollo's directions to Hogwarts' mini dungeon, and he finally approached the classroom.

But as he reached for the doorknob, the same exact door was slammed right into his face.

I bet you can guess who slammed the door into his face! Also, I need at least one review to keep posting!
