Chapter 5: We Go up Against Medusa

Harry's POV

I swear Percy Jackson is a seaweed brain! We found him, Annabeth, and Grover having a meal with a person that had her face completely covered and when Severus drew his sword I knew that it meant only one thing. Severus had sensed that this woman was a monster.

"GET AWAY FROM HER," Severus ordered.

"Well more lovely demigods," she said and the hissing coming from her hit me.

"Don't look at her. We'll turn you to stone," the hissing said.

"Severus, what monster can turn you to stone?" I asked him.

"Oh dear gods," Severus moaned. "Annabeth, Percy, that's Medusa."

That got everyone's attention as I drew my sword that had sent Luke to the infirmary. Percy had his word out and so did Annabeth. Grover was looking as though he was about to faint. Sirius had his sword out as well and then she started to uncover her face. I don't know if my siblings are following me around, but an owl appeared and dropped something at my feet. Feeling a bit like when Fawkes had helped me, I grabbed it, just as she finished uncovering herself. Severus, Sirius, and I hid behind the table as I pulled out what looked like a watch and a note:

"Turn the ring twice clockwise and hurry," the note read.

I quickly put it on and then turned it twice clockwise. A sound came from it and soon a shield appeared, almost hitting Sirius in the process.

"Could you warn me before you do that," he said. "Where's the monster?"

"I don't know, but she's not behind us," I told him.

"Gods, why did it have to be here?" Severus asked.

"Bad luck and I think that something is off here," I said.

"Oh wonderful smells, and a son of Zeus and a son of Poseidon. I'm having such a lucky day."

I turned the shield and saw that Medusa was facing away from us. Keeping my eyes on the reflection, I willed myself to float. Another ability that I discovered that I had! Since there were no windows in the room, she had no idea that I was behind her. Suddenly I brought my sword down and her head severed from her body, her body turning to dust. I quickly found a piece of cloth and covered it.

"She's gone," I told them, my shield turning back into a watch.

"Are you sure?" Percy asked.

"No, I'm just making it up that a creature that can turn you to stone is dead when she's not. Of course she's damn dead," I hissed. "Gods, I swear you're such a seaweed brain."

Annabeth walked over and picked up the head.

"Why didn't the head vanish?" Percy asked.

"Because the head is considered a spoil of war," Annabeth told him. "How did you know that it was Medusa?"

"The snakes warned me," I told her.

"Harry, can talk to snakes," Severus told her. "In our world, that's not a good gift but Harry's managed to turn it into a good gift…for him."

"And it saved all our lives," Sirius told them. "So what are we going to do with this thing? I know the mist will keep people from seeing that we're walking around with a severed head, but I'm not going anywhere with that thing."

"I'm sending it to your dad," Percy said and I glared at him.

"Percy, that's not a good idea," Grover told him.

"Why, I'm being accused of something that I didn't do. Who cares what they think about me sending a severed head."

"My father would," I told him, but he wasn't listening.

So Medusa's head was off to Mt. Olympus and the three of them were wondering where they were going to go next! They had to head to LA to get Percy's mother back from Hades. I had a bad feeling that Hades wasn't about to just hand over his mother.

"Come on, I'll get the tickets," I told them.

"But you don't have money?" Annabeth said.

"A little gift from either Aunt or sister," I said, showing the card that Hera had given me from Aphrodite.

"Is that one of Aphrodite's cards?" Annabeth asked me.

"Yep," I said. "And that means that we're going with you three."

"This is my quest," Percy said.

"And Harry's the one with the money," Sirius told him, "I might be new in returning to the mortal world, but I still know that you need money to get anywhere."

"We don't have time to argue," Severus said, "There's a war that's brewing and we need to get Zeus bolt back."

"Fine," Percy said, "We'll use the card to get tickets."

"And food and any other expenses," I said, "Because there's no way that I'm going to the Underworld smelling like I haven't taken a bath in a year."

After I had gotten the tickets we waited for our train to show up. While we were waiting Severus talked about what had happened when Dumbledore found out that I was gone. Let's say that he wasn't a happy man and had tried to talk to Ron and Hermione.

"And what did they say, the little traitors?" Sirius asked.

"Ron told Albus that he didn't know where Harry was and that he wasn't about to get killed over whatever Harry might be getting into. Hermione said the same thing, which told me that Ron and Hermione had turned their backs on Harry. And, please Harry, don't blow something up."

"Fine," I muttered, even though I wanted to.

"Albus isn't happy with what they've done, but I have a funny feeling that Dumbledore is going to find a way to try and get Harry to return to England."

"Do you think that we have anything to worry about?" Sirius asked him.

"Gods, I hope not," Severus said, "The last thing that we need is for Zeus and Hera to put Albus in Tartarus. I might not like some of the things that he does, but he's the only person that Tom Riddle fears."

"That I'm going to agree with."

And with those words, the train pulled up.
