Chapter 7: We Encounter A Mad Auror

Severus POV

Doing a job for Ares isn't what you call a good idea to reject. I have seen what happens to those that don't follow what Ares wanted them to do. Trust me, having to answer the demands of one of his children, after your dead, is the least of your problems. We were close to getting to Hades realm and now we had to get something that Ares should have gotten when he left. Personally I think that he's setting us all up.

And having an Auror on his way isn't helping matters.

The place was a theme park, or at least what was left of one. A fence bared our way and I'm telling you getting over it doesn't appeal to me. Thankfully Harry was able to get us over it without any problems.

"Thanks," Annabeth said.

"So where is this thing?" Percy asked us.

"Most likely in the Tunnel of Love," Sirius suggested. "Ares and Aphrodite, only one place they would be."

"Gods, I hope that she's not waiting on us," I said, "I'm not seeing her bust size at three in the afternoon."

We headed for the tunnel of love to get the shield. I just wanted to get the thing and shove it up his ass. We could have been on a train to LA by now. The Tunnel of Love was a joke, if there ever was one. It was broken down, not comfortable, and not a place that I would bring a date. Ares shield was lying right where he had left it. Harry went to reach for it, when a figure appeared from the shadows.

It was Moody.

"Hello, Potter," he said.

"Alister," Sirius said, staring at him.

"Come with me, Potter," he said, "Your Aunt and Uncle are waiting on you. And don't you dare draw your wands."

"Who the Hades is this guy?" Annabeth asked.

"Alister Moody," I told them, "Mad Auror that should have been shoved off to the loony bin."

"Albus; wants him back with his Aunt and Uncle," Moody told us, "And he's going back. Don't matter if he likes it or not."

Harry raised his hands and I knew what was coming. A bolt of lightning came out and hit Moody in the chest. He went to grab the shield when hundreds of spiders came out. Annabeth went into freak mode, screaming her lungs out.

"It's a trap," Sirius said.

"Great," I muttered and I summoned water from nowhere.

It's a little gift that we children of Hecate have. The spiders where hit with it and started to short circuit.

"What the hell was that?" Sirius asked me.

"Mechanical spiders," I told him, "It was a trap from Aphrodite's husband. I've got a bad feeling that Harry's father is about to see this little bit of the quest."

"Let's get out of here," Percy said, mad now, "I want some answers from a war god."

When we got back Ares was waiting on us. He shoved the shield in Ares hand and the war god grinned at him.

"Had fun?" he asked, "I must admit that old lame one wasn't expecting to get a bunch of brats. You looked good on TV."

"Why you-."

"Here, your ride to Vegas," he said, pointing to a truck. "I would advise that you get inside before they come out. Oh, and here. Don't say that Ares didn't give you anything."

He threw a backpack at Percy and then rode off.

"When I get back-."

"Don't do it, Percy," Annabeth begged. "Ares is not a god that you want to anger."

"Come on," Grover said, "Their about ready to leave."

We all climbed into the back, my senses telling me something was off about that backpack.
