Finding Family ch.4
Ncalkins doesn't own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson; ooc; might be au; no beta. Memories in bold
Harry boarded the airplane that would take him and his family back to England. He felt bad about not telling his new friends about his leaving but he had no time. Harry loaded the trunks into the storing as he thought about the last few day with his friends. A small smile graced his lips as he sat down, taking the isle seat because Dudley would throw a fit if he took the window seat. Harry remembered the time he spent with the families from Greece. The time he spent with Zeus and Thalia jumped to the front of his mind.
-----------------------Flash back----------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry was cleaning the dishes as his uncle, aunt and cousin watched TV, he had a strange feeling that something big was going to happen. Just as he thought that the door bell let out a pleasant ring, signaling someone was there.
"Boy get the door." barked Vernon
The only reason you want me to get the door is because your to fat to get off you fat ass. thought Harry as he walked to the door.
Harry opened the door and was surprised to see a man with neatly-trimmed gray beard and stormy eyes, next to him was a girl with the same eyes and spiky black hair. Harry looked at them then remembered who they were Zeus and Thalia.
Zeus and Thalia stood there smiling at him.
"Hey Harry." said Thalia pleasantly and with a small wave.
Harry smiled and was about to say hi, when his uncle so rudely interrupted him.
"Boy! Who's at the door." shouted Vernon as he stomped to the door. When he saw Zeus and Thalia at the door a painful smile appeared on his face.
"Hello Mr. Thunder what bring you here?" In a suck up too voice, hoping to get a free lunch.
Zeus felt his eyes began to narrow at the gross man, but kept his distaste hidden as he smiled at Vernon.
"Hello Mr. Dursley my daughter and I were wondering if we could take young Harry off of your hands." Said Zeus and when he saw Vernon about to protest he used some of his godly powers to change his mind.
Vernon's eyes glazed over in a monotone voice he said:
"Yes of course you can take Harry out. Be back by dinner and have fun."
Harry sent his uncle a weird look as he stepped out the door and fallowed Zeus and Thalia to the elevator. As Thalia pushed the ground floor button, Harry asked:
"So were are we going?" Harry turned his head to Zeus and Zeus smiled at him.
"Harry I heard a storm was coming, we are going to a field to watch it."
Harry got excited at the thought of a storm, but he got worried too because he didn't know if his powers would act up. A boom of thunder might frighten him and send his magic in a frenzy.
They heard the ding of the elevator as it reached their floor. Walking out into the lobby with Zeus was strange because everyone stopped and stared at them, women would stare at him with lust and boys with jealousy. They walked outside to see over cast skies and a purple convertible with lighting painted on the sides and a eagle on the hood about to attack a unseen prey parked on the curb of the street. Zeus pulled out his keys and unlocked the car, Thalia slipped into the backseat, letting Harry have the passenger seat. Harry opened the door of the passenger seat seeing leather seats and a wheel cover with eagles on it. Harry sat down and buckled in, then he turned to Zeus as he started the car and looked him dead in the eye and said with all seriousness:
"I'm stealing your car."
Zeus pulled away from the curbed as he laughed along with Thalia, Harry looked between them and said:
"You think I'm kidding? The next time your back is turned I'm hot wiring the car and driving as far as I can." Then Harry frowned and continued. "But if I did with my luck you would be after me with your whole family on motorbikes. The police fallowing you with sirens on and as the car runs out of gas, I would lay my head back for a nap and a bright light accompanied by a voice would say. : You there in the car get out with your hands behind your head and fall to your knees on the ground:" Harry took a breath as Zeus was chuckling keeping his eyes on the road and Thalia was busting a gut in the backseat, Harry opened his mouth to continue:
"Then you and your family with the cops would show up. : is this the boy who stole your car?: you would turn to the cope and say : yes sir that's him.: And I would be thrown in jail."
Zeus finished chuckling and taking a right turn said:
" Then one of my brothers either Poseidon or Hades would bail you out."
Harry smiled and decided to keep the story going as buildings fell to flat land and rolling hills.
"Then they would tell me :okay you go steal his car and drive off. While his distracted I'll sneak in and mess up his house, then we'll meet up at the safe house:."
Thalia laughed as the car stopped she opened the car door and she fell out of the car laughing then she began to tread up the hill. Zeus laughed as he watch his daughter walk up the hill stumbling a bit, he turned to Harry and said:
"For your b-day I'll get you a car like this and you can decorate it any way you want."
Harry smiled and moved to protest but Zeus held up a hand as he got out and said:
"Don't even think about protesting about this and come on."
Harry got out of the car walked around the front and with Zeus who had put his arm around Harry's shoulder walked up the hill. Just as the got to the top and sat down next to Thalia on either side of her, the thunder and lighting had started. They stared up at the sky and Zeus made sure that they all got a good show, no rain and a lot of thunder and lighting. All was peaceful then Zeus felt someone elbow him in the side, looking down he saw Thalia jerk her head towards Harry who was mesmerized by the sky. Harry was sitting cross legged with his hands in his lap palms faced upward and fingers intertwined, with his head thrown backwards and mouth open staring at the sky he was the picture of innocence. But the thing that got Zeus's attention was the lighting streaming between Harry's thumbs back and forth from the left and to the right. Then Harry's hair caught Zeus eye lighting was traveling through it making it stand on end. Zeus smiled at Harry and the rest of the storm was spent in silent.
-------------------------------End flashback--------------------------------------------------------
Harry smiled as he remembered this but the frowned with a cringed as he remembered how he was late for dinner and the sound beating his had to endure. He was pulled form his thoughts as he was told to buckle up and prepare for lift off. Harry not wanting to get in trouble buckled up and went back into his thoughts. He remembered his brief encounter with Hera, she came and gave him lunch, they talk and she left. Then he remembered his day with Poseidon and Percy.
----------------------------Flash back
Harry was at the park next to a pond having been kicked out by his uncle. Staring into the water and at the fishes his was surprised to hear and to see out of the corner of his eyes two people sitting beside him on either side, and began to throw bread into the water feeding the fish. Both were wearing shorts and flip flops, Harry turned his head left and right only to be greeted by smiling faces. The one on his right was the bigger one with black hair and sea/blue eyes and on his left was like Minnie me to the one on the right.
"Hey Harry." Said Minnie me as he held out a piece of bread for Harry to feed the fishes.
Harry took the bread and smiled:
"Hey Percy and Poseidon." he answered as he throw a small bit of bread into the water watching as a fish swallowed it up. Then something weird happened he heard a voice in his head:
Thank you son of Poseidon
Harry looked left then right and asked:
"Did you guys say something?"
Poseidon shook his head no along with Percy, Harry sighed and fell back to lie on his back with his eyes closed soaking the sun in muttering:
"Great I'm going crazy."
Percy and Poseidon shared a secret smile over Harry having heard the fish too. They spend a couple of minutes in silent then Poseidon pulled out a picnic basket from a nearby bush. Percy sent him a strange look that caused Poseidon to toss the blanket that they would sit on at him. Harry opened his eyes as a shadow larger then a bird passed over them, to see Percy setting up a blanket and Poseidon pulling out sandwiches for them. Percy finished putting out the blanket Poseidon handed a sandwich to Percy and with him sat down on the blanket. Poseidon handed Harry a sandwich and motioned for him to sit on the blanket with them. That afternoon was filled with laughter and talk.
--------------------------End Flash Back------------------------------------------------------------
Harry leaned his head back and closed his eyes as he thought of when he ran into Demeter in a flower shop. They talked a little about how to care for plants and she had said he should be a farmer. That memory caused him to chuckle. Then he remembered the run in with Hephaestus and Beckendorf it was amazing the things they could make. Athena and Annebeth are both very smart and it was fun debating with them. His thoughts strayed as another memory insulted his senses. Forcing him to block out Dudley's whining that they were in the air had him was missing his favorite show.
________________Flash Back with Aphrodite and Silena--------------------------------------
Harry was walking pass shop after busy shop in the New York mall, having wanted
to get out of the death house. Limping slightly from the new beating he got from Vernon for doing god knows what, Harry was so entangled up in his thoughts that he almost didn't hear his name being called.
"Harry! Over here Harry."
Harry looked around him then saw a beautiful blond women that would make most supermodels pale in comparison and a beautiful brown haired girl next to her waving like mad with a manicure hand. Both girls hair was tied in a pony tail and wearing a tank top and knee length skirts they look casual but still like they just got off the run way. As they approached Harry he remembered their names Aphrodite and Silena.
"Harry its wonderful to see you!" Squealed Aphrodite as she hugged him and kissed him on the cheeks, her daughter fallowing her actions. Harry blushed and stammered:
"Hey A-a-Aphrodite and S-s-Silena what are y-you doing here?"
Silena giggled putting a manicured hand in front of her mouth and said:
"Harry we are here shopping."
"Oh good luck with that." said Harry as he tried to walk away but Aphrodite grabbed his arm and said:
"Oh no you need to get some new close. Your coming with us."
That day was spent shopping with them and eating lunch at the food court.
-----------------End Flash back-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry shifted in his seat as he frowned. His so called family had burned all of the close that Aphrodite and Silena had bought him. A host came up and asked him what he and Dudley would like to drink, as she gave them some roasted peanuts.
"Water please." said Harry as Dudley ordered a coke and took Harry's peanuts.
Harry glared at his aunt and uncle in front of them for burning all of the nice close he owned left with only his hand-me-downs. Harry shook his head and breathed throw his nose as he pulled the little table down, the host came back the his water and Harry went back to his thought.
------------------------------Flash Back Apollo--------------------------------------------------------
Harry had just finished cooking breakfast for the Dursleys and to get away he climbed out onto the fire escape to watch to sunrise. All was quite in the early morning but Harry knew it wouldn't last long, he was so deep in thought that when he heard a voice it scared him a lot.
"Nice morning to watch a sunrise huh?" Said a voice.
Harry jumped and whipped around throwing his hand out toward the open air to look at the man who looked 18 with sandy hair and golden eyes, wearing a white shirt and tan pants.
"Apollo what are you doing here?" asked Harry as he tried to get his heart and magic under control.
Apollo raised an eyebrow at what he just saw storing it for later, when Harry turned and his hand flung out a flock of bird appeared out of then air in front of his hand and flew away.
"I was taking a walk, saw you up here and thought we could watch the sunrise together."
Harry raised his eyebrow at Apollo causing him to laugh:
"Harry if I were interested I would have gotten to know you even more before making a move."
Harry looked at Apollo and smiled thinking:
If that's it then how do I know this isn't just a way to get to know me.
Unknown to him Apollo was thanking as they watch the sunrise.
Besides if I even thought of making a move his dads would kill me.
So they watch to sunrise until Apollo had to get to his job.
__________________END FLASH BACK______________________________---------
Harry downed the rest of his water and tried to block out Dudley's, Vernon's, and Petunia's snores. He smiled at he thought about the interesting conversation him and Artemis had about keeping is virginity safe from Ginny and how he should have been born a girl. And how Luke and Hermes dropped by and they play a prank with him on his family that room will never be the same. That was fun, the beating after not so much. It was interesting trying to get Dionysus to wake up after he some how appeared in the living room and passed out on the couch. Luckily his sons came and got him home before the Dursleys woke up. Then a memory pooped up that made him smile and giggle it was when Nico, Hades and Harry went to the amusement park.
_----------------------------------------------------Begain flash back last one!____--------------
Harry woke up with a shriek as cold water hit him throw his blanket. He jumped out of bed and looked at the boy with the bucket, Black hair and eyes grinned back at him and a man that looked a lot like him stood behind the boy. Harry glared at them both and hissed:
"Hades and Nico, why did you dump water on me."
Nico's smile widened and he said:
"Get up we are going to the amusement park and don't say no it took me hours to convents him." Nico jerked his thumbed at Hades who glared at him. So they went to the park and the first ride they rode was a out door rollercoaster, that go a lot of curse words out of Nico and Hades in several different languish. After that Harry couldn't get them on a rollercoaster that went into the air if his life depended on it. But they loved the Tilt-A-World and the scrambler though Hades kept getting squashed by Nico and Harry. They rode some more rides and after awhile they went to get something to eat. Hades went to get the food and Harry and Nico were left waiting on a bench. Then two girls walked up to them and started flirting with them, making them uncomfortable.
"I would like it very much if you stopped trying to get my son and his friend to like you. It won't work." Said a deep voice.
The girls turned around to meet a death glare that made them run for the hills. The boys finished eating and they left. Hades looked to his boys and though he hated the rollercoaster and the fairest wheel, but some rides weren't so bad and it was worth it seeing his kids smile. Cause contrary to belief he did love his kids, and if those girls tried that again dead or alive they were going into Tartatus.

Harry smiled as he went to sleep and woke in a hour to get off the plane.
_______________IN NEW YORK___________________________________________
Nico was in a happy mood today was the day they were going to tell Harry about to Greek Gods and Goddesses. About his parentage and maybe they could take him away from the Dursleys and they could be a family. He thought this as he raced up the stairs, the elevator would be too slow. As he stopped in front of the door were he would find Harry, he had sudden doubts what if Harry did want to be in their family. Then he shook that thought off because he couldn't think that, he went over the plane about inviting only Harry to dinner. He knocked on the door and waited a little bit…..No answer, to he tried again and again until the fifth try. Nico stood on his tip toes and felt around on the ledge over the door for a key. He found one and opened the door racing inside he found the regular hotel stuff still there but to look like a home with sound proof walls. Looking around Nico found nothing, he looked into the closet and found all of the close gone, his heart dropped to the floor and well be on. Harry was gone, so with a heavy heart he returned to Mountain Olympus were questions awaited him.
"Were is Harry?" asked Percy as Nico walked through the door.
"Gone." answered Nico
There was a depressed silent aura around everyone they all had like Harry. Thalia turned to Zeus and asked:
"Can you keep an eye on him?"
Zeus shook his head no and with great depression said:
"For some reason we can not trace him we can only spy on him the human way. But the thing is we can sense him, he's alive going back to England, that how we know were his is when we wanted to spend time with him, with you guys."
"So you can tell were he is, just no how he is?" asked Percy
Zeus nodded and Nico said:
"Well it better then nothing."
