Chapter 6: An Owl from Draco

Harry's POV

The tickets that I got included a cabin to sleep in. That meant that they all had showers. Severus used magic to ensure that our clothes were clean and to my horror, Sirius stole some from the passengers. Gods, I hope that none of them decide to wear them.

"You just had to steal," Severus hissed. "Can we have one quest where you're not stealing from people?"

"At least we won't be wearing rags by time this is over," he said.

I went to sleep the moment that I had changed clothes and showered. I felt drained since we had fought against Medusa and I hoped that this wasn't something that would happen all the time. As I went to sleep I had a very strange dream. I was in the Headmaster's office and Dumbledore was talking to a couple of people that I didn't know.

"Ronald Weasley has no clue where Potter is at," Dumbledore said, "Alister, use his trace to locate where he's at and bring him back to his Aunt and Uncle. The blood wards have fallen and I need to put them back up."

"Of course, Albus," Alister said.

"And find Severus for me," he added. "I don't like it that he's not reporting in."

And then things changed and I heard laughing coming from somewhere.

"Young twice blessed, do you think that you can help Percy in defeating me," it said, "Your parents might have been able to defeat me, but that was because I wasn't ready. Next time, I won't make that mistake."

And then I woke up.

"Harry, are you alright?" Severus asked me.

"Dumbledore, he's sending someone name Alister," I told him. "He knows that I'm not with the Dursley's."

"Great, we have to worry about him," Sirius said. "Why he's sending Alister, I don't know."

"Who's Alister?" Percy asked.

"Auror with the Ministry of Magic," Severus answered, "And as mad as a hatter."

"He's also looking for you," I added and he groaned.

"This isn't good," Sirius said, "If Dumbledore finds out about the gods, he could use that against us."

"You don't think that he will," I said.

"Never underestimate what's going on inside that small brain of his."

The train came to a stop at one of several stops that would take us to LA. St. Louis was a place that I had never been to. But as we got off I had a funny feeling that we were being watched. A look of unease was on both Severus and Sirius faces. If Alister caught us, I would be heading back to the Dursley's.

"Have faith, son. We'll make sure that you never go back there."

Those made me feel better.

"Let's go and look at the arch," Annabeth suggested.

"Sounds fine with me," I said.

We paid for the tickets and then went through an underground passage. Severus and Grover both stopped; Severus's hand on my shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Sirius asked.

"I smell a monster," he told him.

"Me too," Grover agreed.

"I'm sure it's nothing," Percy told us.

"And this is coming from someone that has no connection to the Underworld," Severus pointed out, "I'll trust my sense of smell and my instincts."

Percy marched on and I saw Grover giving us a strange look. It seemed that Percy was hardheaded and didn't want to take advice from someone that he didn't count as a friend.

"If he gets me killed, I'm hunting him," I vowed.

Did Percy end up getting into a load of trouble, yeah, you could say that. Echidna, the mother of all monsters, decided to have one of her 'pets' attack Percy. Why it didn't attack me, I don't know. The thing breathed fire, which was enough to even send me running. Severus and Remus did a good job in whatever they are good at. The monster blasted a hole through the side of the steel building and Percy decided 'oh this sounds like a good idea. I'm going to jump' and he did.

Severus and I were the ones that ended up defeating it. Much to his 'mother's dislike!

"I'm going to make Zeus make you both pay for that," she snarled.

She didn't even notice Sirius behind her. And soon she was nothing but dust. We decided that it was for the best if we got the heck out of there.

"Where's Percy at?" Annabeth asked when we appeared.

"He damn jumped," I snarled, "Okay, that's official! He's seaweed brain and I dare anyone to challenge that nickname."

"Don't get onto me, I know he is," Annabeth said. "But, please, don't tell me that he just jumped into the Mississippi river."

"I think he did," Grover said and we all groaned.

It was hard to look for one dumb demigod. He could be anywhere underwater. A loud hooting sound made us turn and I saw Malfoy's owl on a branch, a letter in his beak. Severus took it and said, "It's from Draco."

"What does he want?" Sirius asked.

Severus opened and read:

Godfather,

My father used the IM to warn me that Alister Moody is coming to the States to get Harry and force him back to the Dursley's. Do whatever you can to keep this from happening. I'm not about to have that idiot start a war of the gods just because he wants his pawn back. I like living, thank you very much. Let Harry know that things are getting bad here. The cabins are already make alliances if war should break out.

Draco

"This means that we have to double our efforts to get that bolt back," Annabeth told us.

"But where's Percy at?" Grover asked.

A figure coming out of the water answered our question. Annabeth ran over and hugged him then hit him.

"What's that for?" Percy asked her.

"For living up to Harry's new nickname for you," she said.

"Come on, let's get out of here," Sirius said, "We have an Auror on our trail."

And we bolted for the train station, wanting to get as far away from St. Louis as we could get.

When we boarded the train again Percy told us about what had happened in the river. It looked as though we were taking a detour. Of course I had a nasty feeling that the detour would be another chance for Dumbledore to get me. I had no idea how right I would be. I drifted to sleep, hoping that this quest would be over soon and I could get back to having a somewhat normal life.

I had barely closed my eyes when I was shaken away. At once I sent a tiny shock at whoever had done it. A yelp told me that I had hit my mark.

"It's Sirius, Harry," the voice said and I opened my eyes, "And thanks for frying some of my organs."

"No problem," I told him. "What's-?"

"We're here," he said.

"Where?" I asked.

"Where Percy told us that the water spirit told him to go," Sirius answered. "Come on, we're going to have to get more tickets if we're going to make the rest of the trip."

"Fine," I said and I got up and grabbed my things.

We ended up getting food at a café that Annabeth had discovered. With the card that my sister/Aunt had given me we had no problem paying for our food. It was the arrival of Ares, my brother, that started the trouble.

"Look, it's the punk that I have for a brother," he snarled. "And his little friends."

I saw Sirius wanting to punch him, but thankfully he held back.

"What do you want?" Percy asked him, his tone not friendly at all.

"I heard your broke Clarisse spear," he said.

"She deserved it," Percy snarled.

"Percy, watch it," Grover advised.

"Take your friends advice," he said, "I understand that you're almost to death breath's realm, not that I like the old man. Having him for an Uncle is just way too creepy. Anyway, I don't fight my kid's fights, that's what they learned from me early on. Anyway, I would like for you and your friends to get my shield for me. I was on a date with Aphrodite and I forgot it."

"You were on a date with the goddess of love," I said.

"Yeah, bro, got a problem with that?" he snarled at me. "What I do is my own personal business."

"You ruined her marriage to Hephaestus," I told him.

"I don't need you to channel our mother," he snarled, "Just do it and I'll make sure that you all get a ride to as far as Los Vegas."

"We'll do it," Annabeth said. "Harry, you don't turn down a request from a god."

"Fine," I said, still not liking what he had done.

"That's the spirit," he said and then he was gone.

A/N: Harry is going to be acting more like his mother than his father, though he does have some moments where he does act like Zeus. But more of his mother's 'marriage' domain will coming through. I see plenty of problems between the brothers.
