Harry and the other Slytherins went down to the dining hall, where everyone else was already eating. Sophia and Percy sat with them at the Slytherin table to eat. Everybody was talking to one another about Harry, and what could possibly be on the medical report Madam Pomfrey had written down. Upon Harry's request, she wouldn't release any of the information on it. Harry looked around, annoyed about everyone talking about him. The Slytherins all glared at who was talking about him; sense they respected their fellow Slythiern's not wanting to be in the center of attention.
After everyone had eaten, the room transformed into what it had been yesterday for the reading, and everyone got comfortable again. "This is titled Letters and Capture the Flag" Mrs. Weasley hesitantly read. By now, most all the Athena kids were sitting near Ravenclaws, discussing this or that about magic and the muggle/demigod world. Sirius and Remus were sitting on a big beanbag near Harry, shocked on what they learned. Luna, a daughter of Hypnos, was sitting next to an old Athena friend of hers from camp. "How are you Luna? I hope the Nargles haven't been bad" the girl said, though it was strained "Nope! They seem rather calm this year" she said dreamily. 'Nargles' was the code word for Luna's prophetic dreams. Lily looked over and Luna said dreamily "It's alright, Lily." Lily, another young daughter of Athena, who was listening in on the conversation, nodded to the older demigod and witch. After all, Lily was only in her first year at Hogwarts, while Luna was in her third year(A/N: I can't remember if Luna is the same age as Harry or younger, sorry if she's the same age I made her younger in this story), so she felt she had to give Luna respect. Many snickered at Luna; they had never met a stranger girl. Many demigods, along with almost all the 4th and 5th year Slytherins, glared at those who snickered. The non-Greeks looked shocked at them for defending such an odd girl. Harry watched them, a secret smile playing at his lips.
The first week with Percy at camp went by fast. Everyone kept asking Harry whose child he thought Percy was, but Harry kept his mouth shut.
"Why?" a random Ravenclaw asked "It was easier for him to start fitting in" Harry snapped, he didn't know why he was so agitated all of a sudden, but he was. Draco looked at his boyfriend, hoping the talk with Sirius and Remus didn't put him in a bad mood.
Harry had already figured out Percy was his half-brother; all he needed now was his father to claim him. Soon, it was capture the flag and he watched suspiciously as Luke, who he already figured was up to no good, and decided to make an alliance with the Athena cabin as well.
Harry went up to Draco and Annabeth, they were their cabin's co-councilors sense they were around the longest. They weren't the oldest, but they did have the most respect "I'll be joining your team" he said "Ok" Draco said and Annabeth didn't object. Everyone was used to Harry kind of calling which team he would be on the very second the game started, often times he acted as a neutral party, taking down both teams and getting the rewards of the winning side. It was very rare for him to be on a team.
"Really?" a random Hufflepuff asked and the big three children grinned "Yeah, we're the big three team, we always get benefits, if we do well, anyway" Nico explained "It's awesome!" Sophia grinned "We aren't bound by our cabins, so sometimes me and Nico join one team, and Percy and Harry join the other, though we usually fight as one" Sophia explained, leaving out how she usually wasn't at camp.
Harry went to the pavilion and ate, hoping he wouldn't be the only one at his table anymore.
"It does get quite lonely" Percy said and people looked confused "I stay year-round now" he closed his eyes, as if saddened by something. He opened them and said "Sophia goes to a special boarding school, and Harry comes here, Electra, as well, is almost always somewhere doing a fashion shoot, and never comes to camp unless visiting my sister anyway, so I'm usually the only one at the big three table, which is a relief that they put it in or I would be quite lonely, but Nico doesn't really speak at meals, so…" Percy trailed off shrugging and people nodded in understanding, they would hate to be the only one at a table. Percy wasn't technically lying, just not saying the whole truth. Sophia did go to a sort of special school, just not the kind of special school they were probably thinking of, or a school at all, really.
He glanced over where Percy was sitting at the Hermes table. He was sitting between Connor and Travis, the only children of Hermes who actually where brothers. Which, sense it was Hermes, it was a miracle he went back to the same women.
Non-Greeks looked disgusted at this. "You get used to it" Percy waved his hands "They're the gods, they may do what they please" he shrugged and the non-Greeks looked mortified. Lucius and Narcssia just rolled their eyes. They had grown accustomed to the way of the Greek gods.
Percy seemed uncomfortably moshed together with everyone else there. They really should extend the Hermes table, minor gods' kids are there, as well as unclaimed and Hermes kids, at least make a separate table for the unclaimed. He thought as the bell rang for the meal to be over, and got ready for capture the flag.
The demigods sighed happily at the thought of capture the flag. "You know, Harry's right, we really do need a separate table…" Annabeth's eyes gleamed with an idea. Draco watched amused as his sister took out a roll of parchment and started crafting her idea with the charmed pen Draco got her. "At least you use the pen I got you" Draco teased. "You two seem close" Sirius pointed out, still in shock in learning about Harry's abuse, though was calming down. "We are! She even stays at the manor with us sometimes when she needs to get away from camp, and our house is charmed with protective barriers to protect us from monsters" Draco explained to the non-Greeks. "Demigods, sense they are technically magical creatures, sometimes stay at our house if they're on the run from monsters or on a quest. Some, like Annabeth, just need a change of scenery every once in a while. We have places to train them in different things, and the witch and wizard ones, or those who are just children of Hecate, have an opportunity to also expand their magic by letting us teach them if they want." Draco shrugged. Everyone looked at the Malfoys shocked, they had always thought of them as high and mighty, but here they were offering their home and resources to people who clearly needed it. "Of course" Lucius put in. "If they don't know they're demigods, we explain it to them, train them a little, and Draco helps them to camp if its summer or we contact Chiron if Draco's at school. As much as we love them as guest and family, Camp Half-blood with always be the safest place for them to live and train. It was actually Narcssia who set up the whole thing" Narcssia nodded in agreement and smiled. "If you were a demigod, you would be a daughter of Hera, goddess of marriage and family" Sophia said to Narcssia kindly. "Thank you dear, but I'm just doing what I can, after all they are technically my family, even if Draco is not related to me by blood, he is still my son" she beamed with pride and the mothers in the room smiled, thinking of their own children. Harry sighed happily, and snuggled closer to Draco, his eyes heavy. Draco watched him nervously, hoping his boyfriend was fine.
"Do we seriously have to use all of this?" Percy asked while putting on his armor. Harry looked at him "Well duh, how else are we supposed to learn how to use it in a battle situation?" he rolled his eyes and gave him a sword similar to how his father described Riptide. Harry himself turned down the sword, saying it should be saved for a swordsman, and after seeing Percy beat Luke earlier in the week with an unbalanced sword, he decided it would be him. He contacted his father and had him send the sword to Chiron to give to Percy after he was claimed.
"So that's why you didn't have Riptide" Percy smirked and Harry rolled his eyes "Plus, you are a year and a half older than me, almost 2 years older than me actually." Harry pointed out "You are also the sword fighter of the family" he joked and ruffled his Half-brother's hair, though Harry still felt pretty tired for some reason. Draco smiled, that was the Harry he knows and Loves.
"Remember, river is the border, woods are the boundary, and no killing or maiming!" Chiron called out "I will act as the infirmary and game maker, now go!" he blew into his horn and they were off. Percy was on his own, or so he thought. Harry was in a tree, bow and magical arrow ready.
"You actually have to have a rule against killing and maiming!" Mrs. Weasley asked shocked and the demigods rolled their eyes. "What's the point of using weapons if you can't hurt people?" Luna asked dreamily, thinking of her own sword. "The magical arrow seems dangerous, both for Harry and the one he uses it against" Remus said, concerned "Don't worry, no one I liked whose been shot with them got too hurt" Harry waved his hand "They also don't take much energy, sense I'm used to forming my magic into a tangible thing" the witches and Wizards looked at him in awe, while the professors where wondering if he was so good at it, how come he didn't do that good in class? They had all assumed it was his ADHD and Dyslexia but now they weren't so sure that was the only reason after Harry revealed his home life.
Harry climbed into a tree near where Percy was stationed. Annabeth explained that they would use Percy to draw out Clarisse from her flag, and if things got to harry, Harry would shoot them, only with a sleep arrow though. They didn't want to kill her. Ok maybe Harry wanted to harm her severely, but he didn't want to kill her.
"I still don't forgive you for that plan" Percy muttered and Annabeth looked at him sweetly "Why not, I wasn't going to let you get killed or hurt…too badly" Harry grinned at them while many of the children of Aphrodite groaned. One even coughed to cover up saying Lovebirds. The rest of the Aphrodite children glared at her "Oh come on! You know it's possible!" they just shrugged and Percy looked confused and worried "Aphrodite kids...great let's see how messed up my love life will gt" he sighed "Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and...well..." Harry ran a hand through his hair and people got the message.
Just as expected, Clarisse came charging at Percy with some of her goons from the Ares cabin.
"Ares is the god of war" Harry explained "3 points to Slytherin" Snape said and Harry smiled at his technical cousin. Some were putting it together in their heads, while others still looked confused on why Snape had started acting friendlier to Harry, not that he wasn't friendly before.
They were beating on him pretty bad, finally Percy said "No maiming" "Oops I guess I lost my desert privileges" Clarisse grinned and pushed him into the water. "Big mistake" Harry mumbled and waited.
"That's all they lose for maiming someone? Desert privileges!" Mrs. Weasley demanded and Sirius and Remus agreed, though only with a firm head nod. "That's nothing, we have to clean plates with lava if we kill anyone" Harry rolled his eyes at their god-smacked look(Or should I say...gods-smacked!) "Of course, I found this out personally when a child of Hermes got on my nerves during one of the games, I didn't mean to shoot him in the jugular, but he bled out fast so I doubt it hurt too bad" Harry shrugged, like killing someone wasn't new to him. The non-Greeks looked at him shocked. The demigods snickered, remembering that particular game. Snape just smirked, and contemplated giving him points, after all children of Hermes reminded Snape a little too much of James Potter and the other marauders, which he wouldn't have minded sending to his father's realm.
The water seemed to be working, it gave Percy strength and he easily beat them all back. Suddenly, Harry got a chill land went to investigate, well, he would of if the hellhound didn't come crashing towards Percy, seemingly trying to kill him. Harry quickly shot a killing curse arrow
All the Witches and Wizards turned towards him shocked. Harry shrugged "What, it's pretty easy to do" he rolled his eyes. The teachers, minus Snape, looked at him warily. How could he have so much power and be so…ordinary in class?
and the hellhound evaporated into sand before completely disappearing. After Clarisse tried to unsuccessfully blame Percy, Annabeth had him step out of the water, then in again to show Chiron. Then, in a flash, a sea green trident was above his head and Harry got out of the tree he was in and proclaimed "All hail Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon god of the sea, earth shaker, storm bringer, father of horses!" everybody, even Clarisse, bowed but Harry stayed where he was and nodded approvingly of his new half-brother.
"Wow" the non-Greeks said "I know right?" Luna sighed "Everyone who is claimed get a glowing symbol in the signature color of their godly parent, I was claimed by my father, Hypnos, two years before I came to Hogwarts" she said dreamily then explained "Hypnos is the god of sleep, though he's a minor god" Luna yawned and fell asleep. The demigods looked at her affectionately. "I was really worried with her coming to Hogwarts, being the daughter of the god of sleep and all, plus her prophetic dreams can freak her out sometimes. That, and children of Hypnos need at least 15 hours of sleep a day" Harry said and people nodded in understanding. The ones who made fun of Luna looked ashamed. How could they have made fun of such a sweet, albeit a bit strange, girl? "She's sweet; she'll even interoperate dreams if you ask her nicely!" Annabeth smiled.
After the games, Harry grabbed Percy's stuff and brought him over to the Poseidon cabin. "Welcome, Half-brother" Harry winked and smiled. Percy smiled weakly and took the top bunk across from Harry. "So...you're my half-brother?" Percy asked uncertain and Harry nodded. "Harry Potter, The boy who lived, sea spawn, Son of Poseidon, god of the seas, at your service" Harry did a mock bow.
"Oh Har" Draco ruffled his boyfriend's hair "oi!" Harry said trying to flatten it. Remus and Sirius smiled at them. Sirius then snuggled closer to Remus and Remus played with his hair. "Long title-" "-I have to say he must have-" "-a long name!" (A/N I'm sorry for my ridiculously bad puns, I have a very strange sense of humor that most people wouldn't get) the Weasley twins said laughing. Harry chuckled and Percy smirked. "I have a longer one" he said and the Weasley twins looked interested. "I'm Perseus Jackson, Hero of Olympus, Immortal Cabin leader of the Poseidon cabin, Seaweed brain, son of Poseidon, god of the sea, earth shaker, storm bringer, and father of horses. My name sake is Perseus, one of the great kings of Greece, son of Zeus, God of lighting and Leader of the twelve Olympians." He finished and many were shocked he could say it in one breath. "No, Percy, mine's longer" Harry rolled his eyes. "I'm Harry Potter, the boy who lived, sea spawn, son of Poseidon, god of the sea, earth shaker, storm bringer, father of horses. Boy of prophecy, wizard of Gray magic, defensive magician, Hero of Olympus, head archer of Camp Half-blood, head archer of The Army, Time Lord and fighter in the Time War" he concluded. Many were more shocked by his titles than the fact he could say it in one breath. "That's a lot of titles" Sirius stated and Harry shrugged "That's nothing!" Sophia said. "I am Sophiana Jackson, Kelp Head, Oceania, Sophia, Sophie, Stormy, Blade, Soph, Storm bringer, and daughter of Poseidon, god of the sea, earth shaker, storm bringer, and father of horses." She paused to take a breath. "Savior of Olympus, One of the three commanders of The Army, Time Lord, Fighter in the time war, skilled knife thrower and hunter, mercenary of Olympus and enemy of Kronos, empath, and telepathic" she concluded and gasped for breath. Everyone looked at the three of them and couldn't think of anything to say. "Wow" the Weasley twins whistled together "I don't know what half of that is" the Stole brothers smirked at the Weasley twins "We know!" they exclaimed. The Weasley twins were about to argue, but Mrs. Weasley cut them off by reading. Electra rolled her eyes at their childishness and smiled.
Percy smiled hesitantly and Harry could tell Percy might not be used to all the Greek formalities yet. "Don't worry, I'll help you around, show you the ropes, and what not" Harry shrugged. It really wasn't a big deal to Harry, he had a feeling he'd like this kid as his half-brother, even if they had only briefly talked before.
Percy smiled at Harry innocently "Thank you" he said in the most childish voice he could manage. The Weasley Twins and Stole brothers burst out laughing. "Good one Percy!" they all laughed together. Harry chuckled and snuggled closer to Draco, he didn't know why, but he was getting even sleepier.
"Harry!" Draco ran into the cabin with two similar letters. "Yes Dray?" Harry asked smiling and Draco handed him a very heavy letter. Harry quickly read through it and beamed. "So, Hogwarts finally came a knocking eh?" he joked, he was waiting anxiously all summer for this, and then groaned. "Wait…I missed Dudley's birthday" he realized and Draco shrugged. "Who cares? As far as anyone is concerned, Chiron is as much your legal guardian as the Dursleys" Draco smiled and Harry grinned back. "Sweet!" Harry beamed and Percy looked confused. "Wait…Hogwarts?" Percy questioned. "A school of witchcraft and Wizardly in England, which is where Draco's family lives" Harry explained "My family lives there too, well, my mother's side of the family, anyway we usually call for my Pegasus, Mist, to take us from England to here and back, saves a LOT of money" Harry said "That, and Harry can't ride planes, being a child of Poseidon and all, he'd be struck down by Zeus" Draco put in.
"Why would he do that? He must be crazy!" Mrs. Weasley shouted and thunder boomed. The demigods gulped. "I wouldn't offend Lord Zeus, he...um…has a temper and deserves the up most respect" Grover said nervously and looked at the sky. To the demigods' relief, it stayed clear. The non-Greeks looked shocked. "Yes, to answer the unspoken question, the gods will smite and/or punish and/or kill you" Harry said sleepily. Draco gave him a brief kiss and nodded as the 2 boys snuggled closer. "You ok Har?" Draco whispered into his boyfriend's ear and he nodded weakly. He didn't feel sick or anything, just really tired. Harry closed his eyes and Draco panicked before Madam Pomfrey said it was just a sleeping potion she gave him tacking effect. "I put it in his breakfast, he didn't seem to be sleeping well" she said worriedly and Draco nodded in understanding. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry and watched him sleep for a bit as Mrs. Weasley calmed down and started reading again.
Harry quickly read through his letter and looked at Draco. Draco nodded and called his trusty Owl-eagle, a gift from his mother Athena when he turned 9, Horsens. She was a beautiful owl, but not as beautiful as Harry's Snowy Owl, Hedwig.
Draco called to Hedwig and Horsens and they flew through a window and landed on Draco's shoulder. "Hey guys" Draco whispered too them. Annabeth and Draco talked to them for a while, much to the non-Greeks surprise. "Accio bird perch" Draco said and a perch appeared right next to him, which the Owl-eagle and the Snowy owl flew to and perched on. Harry was still asleep, so Sirius summoned a blanket and put it across him and Draco. Draco thanked him and tried to adjust Harry into a comfortable position. "Owl-Eagles, my favorite type of eagle" Electra smiled.
Percy watched them, confused. "We'll explain later, now, want to come with us to the big house Half-brother?" Harry said excitedly and Percy nodded. They ran off towards the Big House and Harry and Draco showed Chiron their letters. "I'll accept for Harry, Draco I already messaged your parents, and they sent your acceptance and Percy, I'll try to explain what I can about Hogwarts, Witches, and Wizards. Seeing as your half-brother is a Wizard, you might as well know" Chiron said. "Harry, Draco, pack up, I'll have a demigod whose a professor at Hogwarts pick you up tomorrow to go shopping for your school things" Chiron said and the two boys nodded excitedly and ran off to pack their bags.
Draco smiled at the memory. "A Demigod teaches at this school?" Narcssia asked and Draco grinned "Yep! I'm not telling, though" Draco winked "Stop growling, you Hellhound, You'll be back in Hades soon…" Harry mumbled and Draco shook him awake. "Wha?" Harry asked and looked around, blinking slowly. "That's the end of the chapter" Mrs. Weasley stated and everyone nodded. "I need to move" Percy, Draco, and most every other demigod complained. All of them had been shifting around for a while. "Let's take a break then." Dumbledore stated and immediately all the demigods got up and raced out of the great hall, Harry and Draco with their owls on their shoulders. The non-Greeks watched as Snape followed them out. Everyone else slowly dispersed.
