Chapter 9: Is there anyone left in the underworld?
A.N.I took part of this chapter from MOA. But made it different and added something to it. You get to see someone who hasn't popped up in Percy Jackson yet. Hope you like it.
Piper's P.O.V.
I was lying in my bed on my back. I had one arm lying across my stomach and the other lying on the pillow next to me. I was upset and mad; I had stormed out of the mess hall when Leo had come in there where the rest of us was eating, to tell us we now had to make another stop. We had to ask Hephaestus how to get the tomb open. Why on earth did Hephaestus make a bronze tomb to begin with. If he hadn't made it then Harry might not be trapped in it.
That wasn't really fair of me, I guess it's not the god of blacksmith's fault that the giants took his tomb and locked Harry up in it. I was just so angry and mad. And a bit jealous of Hermione. Why was she having all the dreams about Harry? I would give anything to have one dream, just one damn dream, so I could see him. See for myself Harry is okay. Why couldn't I dream about him. I've tried. I go to bed every night thinking about him. But no dreams come. I had this funny feeling someone was stopping me from dreaming about him. And I also had a feeling who it was.
I reached up and wiped the tears from my eyes. I wondered if it was possible for a person to run out of tears, because if it was I should be about out. I've cried almost every day since Harry was taken from me. I felt as if my heart was shattered. Now we only have four days to reach him; this day was about gone and we have to make another stop. Gods I don't know what I'll do if we don't reach him in time. We have to reach him in time. I looked to the nightstand next to my bed. At the wizard picture of Harry and me, I watched as we turned our heads and kissed each other. Annabeth once told me she thought that was the best picture I had of me and Harry. Said she could really see the love in our eyes when our faces turned and looked at each other. My eyes moved from the picture to the flower vase sitting next to ie. In it was the pinkish-peach rose Harry had picked from the Hesperides garden the time we went there. Hera had said he could. After they had a little fight and she had smacked him in the face. Hera had felt so bad doing it. Harry could have gotten her to agree on anything or give him anythimg. But he chose to ask if he could give me a rose out of her garden. He knew I would love it, roses where one of my mother's flowers.
I was alone in my room everybody was elsewhere on the ship, my eyes were dropping like I was about to fall asleep when suddenly there was a big bang, and it felt as if something hit the side of the ship. I was thrown out of bed and onto the floor. I sat up and listen. I heard what sounded like an army boarding the ship, then I heard a lot of noise, doors being knocked down and the sound of fighting and yelling. When the sounds were coming my way, I jumped up grabbed my bow and quiver, took out Harry' cloak and threw it over me and ran over to the corner and hide; just as my door was thrown open and I saw three things, that looked as if they were part dolphin part human. They came in and tore my room apart, lifted the mattress off my bed, went through my bag throwing my clothes everywhere. They knocked over my bedside table, and the wizard picture of Harry and I fall to the floor and I heard the glass in the frame break. But what made me mad was the vase the rose Harry gave me fall to the floor and as the dolphin-men things were leaving the room, one of them stepped on it. When they were gone I crawled over to my rose and picked it up. Tears fall down my face as I saw it was nothing but a stem now, the paddles were on the floor. I very carefully picked them all up and put them in the small pocket of my bag. Wiped my tears and stood.
I quietly left my room and tip-toed down the hall and up the deck, then hide behind a stack of crates so I could see what was happening and wait to make my move.
I looked around and saw that we had been hit by another ship; with black sails painted with a gorgans head; hulking warriors, not quite human, in Greek armor, swords and spears ready, and bronze ram. Had grappling lines wrapped around the rails and the mast, digging iron claws into the hull's planks. Which is how they boarded our ship.
I couldn't see real good in the fog and it was starting to turn dark, but the invaders seem to be human like dolphins, or dolphins like humans. Some had grey snouts. Others held their swords in stunted flippers. Some waddle on legs partially fussed together, while others had flippers for feet.
Several dozen warriors lowered their spears and had made a ring around Percy and Annabeth. The dolpin-men opened their snouts and made whistling sounds. They blocked Percy and Annabeth as they brought our other friends up on deck.
One doplin-man was dragging a half-conscious Ron Weasley, and dumped him on a pile of ropes. While others dragged my other friends tied up on deck. Even a very weak and pale looking Hermione, who was tied to Leo and sat down on the floor. Luna and Nico were also tied together and were sat down next to Hermione and Leo.
One side of the ring of spears parted to let someone through. He appeared to be fully human but from the way the others fell back before him, he was clearly the leader. He was dressed in Greek combat armor, kilt, and greaves, a breastplate decorated with elaborate sea monster designs-and everything he wore was gold. Even his sword. a Greek blade like Percy's sword, but it was gold instead of bronze. He was wearing the weirdest helmet. The visor was a full face mask fashioned to look like a gorgon's head- curved tusks, horrible features pinched into a snarl, and golden snake hair curling around the face.
I watched as Annabeth turned so she was shoulder to shoulder with Percy.
"Who are you?" Percy demanded. "What do you want?" The golden warrior chuckled. Then he took his sword and knocked Riptide out of Percy's hands so fast, I didn't realize what he had done until I heard it hit the sea below with a splash. Percy's face showed nothing but shock. I couldn't blame him. As far as I knew no one has ever disarmed him so easily.
"Hello, brother." The ugly mask dude said. "Always happy to rob a fellow son of Poseidon. I am Chrysaor, the Golden Sword. As for what I want.." He turned to look at Annabeth. "Well, that's easy. I want everything you have."
I stayed silent and ducked by crates under Harry's cloak as I watched Chrysaor walking around inspecting my friends and half-sister like they were Hera's sacred cattle. A dozen of his dolphin-man warriors stayed in a ring around them, spears leveled at Percy's chest, while dozens more ransacked the ship, I heard banging and crashing around below decks. One carried a box of ambrosia up the stairs. Another carried an armful of ballista bolts, then to my horror one came walking up deck with Harry's sword. My hand went to my side. Damn I had forgotten I took it off when I laid down. But I did still have my dagger and bow.
"Let me see that." Chrysaor demanded and the dolpin-man handed it to him. He looked it over. "Nice real emeralds." He frowned and ran his hand over the Potter family crest that was carved in the blade. Which was a shield with a stag on one side and a doe on the other in the middle of the shield was a P with wands crossed behind it.
"That doesn't belong to you." Nico snapped at him. Chrysaor ignored him.
"Your accent sounds familiar," Percy said. "Have we met before?"
"I haven't had the pleasure." Chrysaor said. "But I've heard all about you, Percy Jackson. Oh year the young man who saved Olympus. And his faithful sidekick, Annabeth Chase."
"I'm nobody's sidekick." Annabeth growled. And, Percy, his accent sounds familiar because he sounds like his mother. We meet her in New Jersey."
Percy frowned. "I'm pretty sure that accent isn't New Jersey. Who's his-? Oh." Percy 's eyes widen as if he suddenly remembered something. "Medusa is your mom? Dude that sucks for you."
"You are just as arrogant as the first Perseus." Chrysaor growled. "But, yes, Percy Jackson. Poseidon is my father and Medusa is my Mother. After Medusa was changed into a monster by that so-called goddess of wisdom her two children were trapped inside her, unable to be born. When the original Perseus cut off her head."
"Two children sprang out." Annabeth remembered. "You and Pegasus."
Percy blinked. "So your brother is a winged horse. But you're also my half-brother so that means all the flying horses in the world are my.. You know what? Lets forget it." I looked away after Percy started asking why he had never heard of him and looked around at the others. I needed to figure out a plan to help my friends and to stop these invaders. If I could somehow get to the others and begin to untie them without being noticed.
"You became a pirate." I heard Annabeth say.
"Enough with your question." Chrysaor said. "I have one for the both of you. Where is The-Boy-Who-Lived?" I took my eyes off my tied up friends and looked back at Chrysaor and the others. Annabeth and Percy were both looking at him shocked.
"What?" Annabeth demanded. Chrysaor tapped the blade of Harry's sword with his finger.
"I told you I have heard all about you." He said. "I know all about my brother's friendship with the son of Hera. Best friends aren't you? So where is Harry Potter? I believe this is his blade."
"He's not with us." Percy said.
"Don't give me that." Chrysaor said. "This is his sword, there was an empty cabin. My warriors could not find the last person of your group, so it has to be Harry Potter. So where is he?" I saw relief in both Percy's and Annabeth's eyes when he said they couldn't find me (though he thought I was Harry) I guess they thought the dolphin-man either killed me or hurt me too bad to move me. Speaking of someone missing. I just realize Marauder wasn't around. Where the heck was he.
"You can't do this?" Hermione cried, as the dolpin-man were now carrying crates of food, weapons even the magical ice box from the mess hall.
"I can do anything I want." Chrysaor said. "My warriors have been trained to perfection. They are vicious cutthroats - "
"Dolphins." Percy said.
Chrysaor shrugged. " Yes. So? They had some bad luck a few millennia ago, kidnapped the wrong person, Some of their crew got turned completely into dolphins. Others went mad. But these.. these survived as hybrid creatures. When I found them under the sea and offered them a new life, they became my loyal crew. You know what? Who cares where Harry Potter is. He is of no use to me. If he was smart in jumped into the sea and drowned himself." Chrysaor began to examine the girls like they were Christmas presents. I could see Percy gritting his teeth as he reached his hands in his pocket. Riptide must have returned to his pocket. I wondered why Percy didn't just knock them all out, with his Achilles Heel he would be able to, but then he might be afraid of someone getting hurt and trying to come up with a plan like I was.
"We'll take the women with us." Chrysaor said. "I have a deal with the witch Circe. She will buy the women- either as slaves or trainees. But not you lovely Annabeth."
"You're not taking her anywhere." Percy growled. I needed to act now if I was going to save my friends. All we needed was a detraction. While Chrysaor and all the dolpin-man were looking the other way, I took a risk and stuck my hand out from under Harry's cloak and waved toward Percy, his eyes landed on my hand and I very quickly lowered the cloak to show him I was here. Annabeth saw me too, her eyes widen for a second before she gave me a nod. I knew by just that slight nod that she wanted me to make a detraction, so Percy can get the better of them. So we all could get the better of them.
I looked around for an idea, It came to me. I slid my quiver from my back, careful not to let the cloak slip, then as one of the dolphin-man was coming back up the stairs carrying a box, I stuck my arms out from under the cloak just long enough to shoot an arrow and hit him in the fin-like foot. Then hide my hands back under the cloak. The dolphin dude cried out, lost his bounce and went falling down the stairs, taken out the others that has walked up behind him.
"What the..." Chrysaor turned around to see what the noise was and Percy pulled Riptide from his pocket and uncapped it and when Chrysaor turned back around, Percy took him by surprise and hit him in the head with the handle of his sword. Chrysaor stumbled back and Percy came at him, but he was quick and blocked him with his sword. Then back and forth they went trading blows it was almost like watching when Harry had a sword fight with Ares. Back and forth they went.
One of the warriors had put a knife to Ananbeth's throat to stop her from doing anything, so I hooked another arrow and stuck my hands out from under the cloak and shot it. The arrow hit the guy right in the hand holding the knife and he yelped letting go of Annabeth and she spun around and put her dagger through his gut, then as she pulled it out, she kicked him knocking him over- board and into the water below.
The shadows around us began to swirl around I looked toward Nico and Luna to see two shadowy hands untying them, then when Nico was free he jumped up, along with Luna who pulled out her wand and summoned Nico's sword to him from somewhere and he ran into the fight taken out dolphin-man after dolphin-man. While Luna ran over and untied Leo and Hermione. She was too weakened to do much more than stay where so was and pull out her wand and cast spells. Leo stood next to her throwing fireballs.
I turned my attention back to Percy and Chrysaor, Percy spun around and knocked Chrysaor back with his elbow, but then he came back and knocked Riptide out of his hand and sent it falling into the ocean again. Percy went to just go after Chrysaor with his hands, but he nodded to behind him and Percy turned around; I also looked to see dolphin-man had knives to Annabeth, Luna and Hermione's throats.
"Go ahead and fight us boys." Chrysaor said. "And your women's blood will soak the ship floor.
I brought my arms out from under the cloak and aimed an arrow at the back of Chrysaor, but suddenly a hand slammed down on my arm and jerked me out from Under the cloak. A dolphin-man then dragged me as I fought over toward the others.
"Who do we have here?" Chrysaor asked. The dolphin-man held up my bow and showed him. "Nice, real gold." He took it and looked it over. He ran his hand down the Greek words carved on the spin. Then read out loud what it said.
"Piper McLean, daughter of Aphrodite, Slayer of the Mighty Python. This bow was a gift to you from Apollo wasn't it? You've slayed the Mighty Python, I believe the only other being ever to do that was Apollo himself." He then laughed. "Never seen a daughter of Aphrodite who could fight before. Beautiful and tough. That could come in handy."
I said nothing but just glared at him. Yes I once killed the Mighty Python, it was during a quest Harry and I was on. We got attacked by it, I was knocked down and while I was getting back up Apollo's owe golden bow appeared in front of me and I used it to kill the python. I had no choose it was about to Kill Harry and I had to save him. After I killed it Apollo showed up for his bow and gave me mine as a gift for slaying the giant snake.
"What do you say Daughter of Aphrodite?" Chrysaor said. "Want to join me and my warriors. You'll become rich. All the gold and jewels you could want."
"Go to Hades." I said. No one noticed that my hand was on my dagger, until I pulled it out real fast and spun around and sliced the throat of the dolphin-man holding me. I felt bad for killing him, but they were taking up our time. We needed to get to Hephaestus and then to Harry, this day was gone. That means just three days left. More of them came toward me and I took them out too, the commotion gave Percy a chance to go after Chrysaor again and my friends get loose from the ones holding them.
Percy backed away from Chrysaor and raised his hand and a big wave came up, the dolphin-man ran trying to get away.
"Hold on guys." Percy cried, then brought the wave slamming down on the ship. I stepped back trying to get away from it and my foot landed on Harry's sword, Chrysaor had dropped while battling Percy, it made me trip and fall back just as the wave came crashing down I was hit by part of it and sent overboard into the sea below and everything went black.
When I came to, my first thought was that one of my friends (most likey Percy) had jumped in the sea after me and carried me back aboard the ship, but as I opened my eyes I realized I was on the wrong ship. I was laying on my back on the bottom of a boat on top of some blankets, and one blanket covered me up and men dressed in ancient Greek style tunics and armor were walking all around me. The worse thing was it was light out, meaning I had been out the rest of the night and now Harry only had three days.
"You're a wake." Someone standing over me said. I looked up to see an older man, with brown hair and beard, wearing Greek armor and a tunic. He knelt in front of me "We thought you were dead. My men pulled you out of the Ocean in their fishing net. I saw you were breathing so you must have just fallen in. How do you feel?"
"Fine, but did you see the ship I was on?" I asked. "My friends..."
"Sorry, I didn't see anything." The man said. "By the way, my name's Odysseus." My eyes got big.
"You mean like the Odysseus." I asked. "The one from the Odyssey?" He laughed a little.
"I heard my adventures had become a tale." He said. "Ever since I returned from the Underworld. I found some of my men returned too. We are on our way to Ithaca. If we are back then my lovely Penelope must have returned to the land of the living." He stood up and held his hand out for me to take and he helped me to stand. He then picked the blanket up and wrapped it around my shoulders. "Tell me why is a child such as yourself out in the middle of the Ocean?"
I was cold and shivering because I was soaking wet, but still followed Odysseus up to the front of the ship.
"Please. Um.. Your highness right?" I asked. Odysseus nodded looking smug. He always did think he was arrogant, I knew his story pretty good, my dad was once in a movie where he played Odysseus and we read his story together. I always liked how no matter what happen, he still tried to make his way home, but it also made me mad that Penelope had stayed faithful to him for the whole ten years, even after having the castle run over by men wanting to marry her, but Odysseus didn't stay faithful. He had affairs with both Calypso and Circe.
"You see me and my friends were on this quest to save someone real important." I explained. "We only have three days left, so I have to find my friend's ship and so we can continue our quest." Odysseus stayed silent for a moment, then he pointed out to the ocean.
"See the sea, how calm it is." Odysseus said. "Never have I ever seen the sea so calm. And it went that way the moment we brought you aboard the ship. My men think you are a gift from the gods, our lucky charm. So I am sorry, but I can not let you go. If I do I fear the storms will return I can not risk it. I will be damned if it takes me another ten years to get back to Penelope. I lost so much time with her in our last life I will not lose it again."
"But.. but, you can't keep me on this ship just because the ocean is staying calm." I said. "It has nothing to do with me. I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, not Poseidon." I saw Odysseus wrench at the mention of Poseidon. "I know how you feel, my love has been taken from me too. My lover Harry was kidnapped by giants and if I don't save him in three days, he'll die." I saw pity in Odysseus' eyes but he did not give in.
"I am a king I can do what I want." He said. "For some reason Poseidon is keeping the Ocean calm for you. So I can not risk letting you go. Where would you go anyway. I see no other ship. I'll let you go once we reach Ithaca. You can find this Harry guy then."
"But Harry will be dead by then." I cried out.
"That is not my problem." Odysseus said. I decided to try charmspeaking him. So I took deep breath, but before I could speak Odysseus snapped his fingers and someone came up behind me tying a cloth around my mouth. I struggled but it did no good as my hands were pulled behind me and tied. "Sorry to have to do that, but I know about your fancy talk and can not risk you talking someone into letting you go."
I was dragged over to the side of the ship and made to sit. Then the guy who dragged me, tie my legs together. I immediately tried to get free. I don't know what I was going to do, first dolphin men people and now some dude who should be dead was keeping me hostage, because they thought I was some good luck charm, keeping Poseidon from sending storms. I had no connection to the sea god other than I was friends with his only living demigod son. Then it clicked. The gods needed Harry to be saved in order for Hera to return to Olympus and stop the fighting, but if I die or for some other reason can't reach Harry with my friends. It would do them no good to get Harry out of the tomb, because only a kiss from me will wake him and if he doesn't wake, then Hera won't return to Olympus and the fighting won't stop and Gaea wins. Poseidon was holding off causing Odysseus problems because the gods couldn't risk me dying or getting hurt. And not be able to wake Harry. So in a way Odysseus was right.
Now to why Leo's ship wasn't in sight. Where the hell were they, I couldn't have landed that far from them. I guess it was all up to me to get mysef free. I had to get away. It's no telling how long it will take Odysseus and his men to get to Ithaca. Was that place even around anymore? If it was, it was called something else and won't be the kingdom Odysseus is excepting. And what if Penelope is still in the underworld. Odysseus will never find her. I struggled with the ties around my wrist, but it did no good, I was tied too tight to get free.
I looked around and still no sign of Leo's ship. I frowned. But then it came to me. They were two witches and a wizard aboard that ship, they could easily use charms to hide it from sight. So they were probably faulting somewhere not far waiting for the right time to come aboard and save me. I wish they would hurry up, we didn't have much time. No sooner than that thought left my mind then I jumped as someone landed on the ship next to me. I looked but saw no one.
"It's just me." Percy's voice whispered in my ear. "I'm wearing Annabeth's cap." I gave a slight nod and Percy got behind me and started untying the cloth around my throat.
"Nico and Leo are here somewhere under Harry's cloak." Percy whispered in my ear. I felt him press something into my hands. I knew by the shape and feel it was my dagger. He got my hands untied and handed me a piece of paper. "Read that and remember what it says." I looked down at the piece of paper, it was hard to read because it was written in Percy's messy writing, but I did finally make it out.
All your friends can be found on the Argo 2
I frowned confused as Percy took the paper back and ripped it up in little pieces. Then got in front of me and started untying my legs, but then paused and I had to act like my hands were still tied up behind me when a couple men walked by.
"Percy," I whispered. "What's with the piece of paper?" He leaned in and whispered in my ear again.
"Look to your left and remember what you read." Then pulled away and started untying my legs. I looked to where he said and it took me a few minutes but then Leo's ship appeared right next to us. "Hermione will explain when we get back on the ship." I nodded and Percy finally got my legs free. I jumped again as Leo and Nico suddenly appeared next to us.
"Hey, where did you two come from?" Someone asked. Percy appeared as he took off Annabeth's hat put it in his pocket, jumped to his feet and pulled out Riptide. As Nico held up his sword and Leo held up his sledgehammer.
"We came to get our friend." Percy said. Holding up his sword. "You don't have a right to keep her, she's not a prize you found."
Odysseus pushed his way through the crowd and held up a sword. "That girl is our lucky charm, ever since we pulled her out of the sea the storms stopped, Poseidon does not try to seek his revenge with her aboard. As long as we have her. I will be able to reach Penelope in no time."
Percy's eyebrow went up. "Um.. What?"
"Percy, meet Odysseus." I said. "Odysseus, this Percy Jackson." I could tell my the look that crossed Odysseus' face that he has heard of the Savor of Olympus.
"The favorite son of Poseidon." Odysseus said. "When I was brought back from the underworld, I was told all about you. Your father cost me ten years of my life just sailing around the sea trying to reach my kingdom. You know what all I had to get passed just to make it back to Penelope? I always wanted a way to get back at Poseidon for ruining my life. I think I finally found it."
And with that Odysseus raised his sword and came at Percy, who ducked the blow and came back up and swung his sword at Odysseus, their blades met each other in mid-air and now back and forth they went. Percy of course getting the upper hand and had Odysseus backing up.
Then some of his men ran toward us and Nico and Leo met them in the middle, Nico took them out one by one with his sword. Leo knocking them out with his hammer. I too ran forward to help, I stabbed one guy in the gut with my dagger, then took my foot and kicked him overboard, another guy came up behind me, I ducked then swung my leg around taken his feet out from under him. I took the handle of my dagger and hit him in the head knocking him out. I got back up and looked toward Percy and Odysseus.
Odysseus had a surprised look on his face as Percy drove him toward the side of the ship. He ducked a blow from Percy, then came up and tried to hit Percy, but he missed and Percy acted as if he was going right, Odysseus went that way to block it with his sword, but Percy switched last-minute and went left, slicing Odysseus' left side. He cried out and grabbed it and Percy swung around again and hit him in the head, knocking him out cold. Most of Odysseus' men ran forward to try to help their fallen king, as Percy ran right through them and came to us.
"Come on, let's go!" Percy cried. Nico grabbed Harry's cloak off the floor and I followed the guys toward the back of the ship, where I saw a life boat in the water below. We carefully claimed down and got in it. Percy used his water abilities to will us over to the Argo. Where we climbed up a long rope ladder that had been out there. Annabeth rushed over and grabbed my hand to help me get aboard. Ron grabbed my other arm to also help me
"Thank the gods!" Annabeth cried. "Who were those men and why did they take you? We've been watching their ship all night, coming up with a plan. Percy thought best to wait until the sun came up to save you." I shook my head and fall to my knees out of breath. Marauder was immediately licking my face. Leaving me to wonder just where the heck he's been?
"Odysseus." Percy said. I saw Nico scowling as Ananbeth's eyebrows raised. And Hermione handed me a flask full of nice cool water.
"Thanks, sis." I said, smiling at her and Hermione grinned. I heard Percy telling everything to Annabeth about Odysseus, and why they had wanted to keep me. Her frown got deeper and deeper with each word Percy said.
"You alright, Piper?" Annabeth asked. I nodded and took one last drink of the water before passing it to Leo who turned it up and took a drink.
"Odysseus better be glad Harry wasn't there to hear him calling Piper his lucky charm." Percy said. He nodded to Marauder. "Nico found him locked up in one of the rooms. Those dolphin dudes must have locked him in there."
"What happen with Chrysaor and his dolphins?" I asked.
"My wave washed them off the ship." Percy said. As Leo handed him the water and he took a big drink. "Sorry about knocking you off too." He passed Nico the water.
"Is there even anyone left in the Underworld?" He demanded before taking a drink of water. "My father must be pissed."
"Percy, what was with the paper and why couldn't I see the ship until I read it?" I asked.
"That was my little bookworm's idea." Leo said. "She put the ship under the Fidelius Charm. It's this charm.."
"I know what it is." I interrupted. "Harry told me all about it. So I guess Percy is the Secret- Keeper since he was the one that wrote the note with the location on it."
"Hermione thought I would be the best person to make keeper." Percy explained. "Because of the Achilles curse. It'll be hard for anybody to do anything to me to get the location out of me." I nodded. That made sense. "Hermione thought we should hide the ship so no one can see it. That way we won't risk being attacked again."
"Good." I said. "We only have three days to get to Harry."
"We should get to my dad's workshop by tomorrow." Leo said.
"That'll only give us one day to get to Harry." I said. "How can we do that." I felt tears coming again. I guess people can't run out of tears. Or I would have by now. Leo knelt in front of me and grinned.
"With speed and magic." he answered. I couldn't help but roll my eyes and grin back at him. But then glanced behind me to see Odysseus' ship it wasn't being tossed around like he thought it would, but I still felt bad for him. All he was really trying to do is find the person he loved. Like I was. I sighed and turned back around. I prayed to my mother, and everyone else's parent that we reached Harry on time. Yes even Hades. I couldn't live without Harry; the two mouths I have gone without Harry has been hell. I couldn't imagine how it would be if he had been gone ten years.
A.N. Hope that chapter was good, and sorry it took a while to update, I've been busy. Next chapter shouldn't take too long to get put up. And It'll either be Ginny's group or Maybe the Order or Sirius. Or someone else.
