Disclaimer: I dont own PJO, I own only my ideas and characters I invent...hmm having to write this every time could get annoying...

I gonna stop making your read this a/n now and get to the story :D and one last thing, the Harry Potter part comes in later, this is gonna be a looong story :) okay,enjoy!
Nicos POV:
The Underworld. Home sweet home. Normal kids have a warm, home cooked meal with their family, I have skeletons serve me in a empty dining room, eating alone (well, sometimes Demeter poofs in and nags at me about eating cereal, which is worse than being alone). Some kids have sweet family time, I have sweet time with the four plain black walls of my bedroom. Thalia always tells me she can come down with me when I get forced back down here, but I cant let her see and hear the things I have.
The horrifing screams of tortured souls from the Fields of Punishment, the crys of the depressed ones who thought they did enough in their life to make it so Elysium, and failed, spending eternity in the Fields of Ashphodel. Plus the sick nightmares that you can never un-see. You think regular demigod nightmares were bad, why dont you try that times ten of evil..creatures, and souls seeking revenge everynight.
And on that happy note, lets go visit my father. After I got off the boat I walked through the dark, cave-like thing. I walked straight up to Cerberus and held out my hand for him. "Hey,boy. Kick anybodys ass lately?" I asked, laughing as the deceased people waiting in the lines stared, half unsure what to do in the Ghost Kings presence, and half probably wondering how I had enough balls to walk up to this dog the size of a truck and pet it.
He woofed in response and licked my face.
"Cool. See ya later though, im gonna go visit Hades," I looked straight into the eyes of the people in the lines,just to mess with them. "My father." I watched through the corner of my eye at their reactions as their thoughts were confirmed. I walked through the lines, to the entrance of the Fields of Ashphodel.
Usually, demigods who think about the Underworld think about where they will end up. When I think of stuff like that, I think about the fact that one day, I will be judging people like that, deciding thier fate. For eternity. I walked through the yellowed grass in the field, past the ghoulish entrance to Tartarus, and finally arrived at the black obseidian palace of Hades.
I know I could of just shadow traveled my way there, but Thalias always reminding me that I am eventually going to get a muffin top if I kept taking the easy way out instead of actaully using my legs, like a normal person. But I always remind her that the life of a demigod is never normal anyway, but I know shes right. I walked straight up to the skeleton warriors that guarded his palace.
"Im Hades son, here for a planned visit to my dad, dont give me the bullshit about how hes busy. I know hes in there, and he knows im out here. So let me in..unless you want another couple of undead dogs in need of some chew toys" I smirked. The guards have hated me ever since I not-so-accidentally sent a few fully grown skeleton rotwielers after them for fun. Now whenever I come to the gates, they try to mess with me and tell me that Hades isnt there and crap.
(A/N:I dont know if skeletons talk or not, but if they dont then they are shaking their heads and stuff XD sorry)
They must of decided that more dogs was a bad idea, cause they opened up the gates pretty damn fast. I sullenly walked into the throne room, where I found Hades bickering with Demeter. Probably about how Persephone wasnt good enough for him. As always. When I walked up, they stopped arguing and turned to stare at me, as if I had decided to invite myself in and sit in their thrones or something. Jeez. I nelt in front of Hades, then got up quickly.
"Father." I usually greet him coldly, since he isnt exactly the perfect parent.
"Nico." He nodded. Demeter just rolled her eyes and muttered something that sounded like "Oh,great. You again." Yup. Home sweet home.
"Well? You wanted to come down here this time, so you must want something." said Hades, of course he automatically assumes that I want something. Even if its true, he could at least act like he doesnt know why.
"Um...yea, well..Thalia, she has been hav-" He cut me off by rolling his eyes.
"Nico, I know after the second Titan War, things seemed good afterwards, but that doesnt mean I like the Olympians anymore than I did before that. I have a little more respect for them, though...Anyway, I dont want to hear about Zeus's offspring. Unless this affects my underground palace, its not my problem." He said. Oh, well that was expected. When I explained everything he would understand, but that can wait until tommorrow. I was really freakin' tired.
"Well then. Now that that is settled, Nico, you need to eat more cereal. You looking quite frail, and weak." Demeter said. Of course. Its all she talks about.
"Uh...yea, whatever. Probably not. Im really tired, I will explain to problem tommorrow. Im going to bed." I said unco,fortably. I walked out of the room before Demeter had a chance to start bitching about cereal again. I walked through the doors, past the Field, and through the dark hallways of the Underworld. Most demigods dont really know about these parts of the Underworld, since most of them dont make it this deep in. Er, let me explain better. After you get past the Fields of Punishment, Fields of Ashphodel, Isle of the Blest, Elysium,
and Hades palace, there is a area that kinda doesnt have a specific name, its usaully just called the rooms. Its filled with spare rooms for people who "visit" the underworld. *Scoffes*. Im one of the few only live people who stays here. The hallways are black stoned, with lanterns every 5 feet that hold greek fire. Every now and then you pass a skeleton servant, but other than that they are usaully empty. My room is in the far, far east end. I decorated my cabin based off of my room, black walls, black bed sheets and blankets, black everything. For my 13th birthday, Hades gave me a unlimited credit card, and when you tell the clerk to "just swipe the card. Do it." they dont expect much, but when they finally do, their eyes bug out and suddenly your "Sir." and you can manage to get anything in black. I have a black carpet, bed, desk, computer, stereo, and more. I walked through the door and took it all in. I hadnt been here in months, but it was exactly the same. I walked into my private bathroom and turned on the shower, throwing the drachma into the warm water. "O Goddess, Please except my offering. Thalia Grace, Camp Half Blood." I called out. The water shimmered, when it cleared I was looking at Thalia, sitting on her bed,
staring up at the ceiling, deep in thought. "Thalia! Hey!" I smiled.
She looked startled at first, but then grinned. "Hey, babe! Hows it going, are you ok?" She asked, always worried.
"Uh...its..interesting. I basically sat in the throne room and watched Demeter and Hades get pissed at eachother all day." Which wasnt a lie. "Oh, of course. Well its only the first day, it'll get better,right?" She said.
"Yeah. How was your day? Anything interesting happen?"
"It was fun, a new kid got really scared when he got to the top of the lava wall, and wouldnt come down, so me and percy tried to yell at him that the wall would eventually crush him to death, but he wouldnt listen..so now hes in the infermary." She said, with a little frown. We talked for about twenty more minutes, until I ran out of drachmas.
I turned off the shower and went to go collapse on my bed. Trying to find out this problem would have to wait until tommorrow.
A/N: Alright. I hope that was better than the last one :/ so I might be writing a one shot (maybe turned into a two shot? idk) about Nico being really depressed about life. It will have bad lanuage and possible suicide. PLEASE review and tell me how im doing, this is my first story, so it really matters what you guys think. No flames please! :D Ok I probably will have the next chapter in either percy or annabeths pov. r&r!
