Chapter 19: I gain a few gray hairs.

Nico's P.O.V.

It took us a while to fly from New York to California. Jason had returned to the ship without Harry and Piper, said we were to go on, and Harry would meet us on Mount Tam. after saving Hera. Then went below deck to pout because his dad had not been there and he was unable to see him. Big deal, sometimes it's better not to see them. Sometimes I rather not to see mine. He can get real moody at times. Then after a big argument over if we should go ahead or if we should follow Harry. Then Ron said we should drag Jason back up on deck and force him to tell us what he did with Harry and Piper. Yeah, like Jason would be able to hurt Piper or whatever it was he was trying to accuse Jason of doing with Harry there. Sometimes I don't think Ron actually thinks about what he says. Though I think he's right in his mistrust of Jason. I'm pretty good at reading people, which is one of the reasons I usually stay quite. I watch how people act. Their little movements when they talk can tell a lot about someone; if they're serious about what they are saying, or if they are lying and so on and so on. And there have been a few of them I have kept a close eye on. Jason was one of them and I have come to the conclusion that Jason is jealous of Harry. Jealous that he is the son of Zeus, but yet Harry, the son of Hera is getting all the attention when it's usually a child of Zeus that gets praised and looked up to. I can remember a time when I first met Percy, it was when Thalia had just woken up from her tree time. Percy had been a little jealous over Thalia getting all the attention for being a daughter of Zeus. Jason thinks it should be him carrying the sword his father made, that it should be him leading this war.

Well if he thinks he's s something then maybe Harry and I will send him down in Tartarus to close the door. He acts lik he's such a hot-shot. I bet he couldn't even handle it. I'm surprised Harry was holding up as good as he was. But then I don't think there is much Harry couldn't handle. Right now I was in my room by myself, at my desk looking over a map of the Underworld. But it wasn't really helping me any. No other doors then the ones Harry saw. I thought about the door Harry said that opened when he had come back to life, after Voldemort had killed him when they had battled in the Minister. That must have been just one of the entrance to the underworld. The actual Doors of Death is something totally different. And they are not on this map. An entrance to Tartarus is, but what's beyond that isn't.

I tapped my fingers on the desk thinking, it looks like someone will have to go down there to close it. I really didn't want to, nor did I want to send Harry back down there. How could I. I couldn't ask Harry to do that. He's the only person to never judge me on who I am. He was almost like an older brother. Whenever I was at camp he made sure I took care of myself, he would set at the Hades table at meal times so I would have someone to talk to, he even made sure I ate. He made me go out and get some sun if he thought I was looking too pale, he even made me train with him sometimes. And when I was training him to use his gift from Hades, he listened to whatever I told him to do without questions or second guessing me. he never doubted I was telling him the truth or ever mistrusted me.

I had an idea on who we could ask to go down there and help us out, after all you might have to be alive to open them, but anyone could close them. And who I have in mind to ask, I'm sure they would. But the big problem would be getting Harry to agree to ask them. That was going to be near impossible. After what Harry went through down there. He'll probably hit me when I bring up my idea, but it's the best I got. I cheeked the map thinking. It would be hard but after closing the door you could find a way out, you just have to trace your steps and go back out at the entrance that leads into the Underworld. It would be hard, but if someone really tried they could do it. Maybe I won't tell Harry about asking them, maybe I'll just go down there and ask myself.

I leaned back in my chair thinking, now all we needed was to find out where the outside of the other door was. Harry didn't know where he was pulled out at, once the giants had got him out of the doors he barely had time to look around him before he was thrown in that tomb and locked up. Poor guy, I don't think I would like being locked up like that either. I had suspected it but I was still surprised when that giant had said he pretended to be me, he went through all that just to protect me. I owned him one big time. No one had ever done something like that for me. Not even Bianca. I stopped wearing the ring, and haven't talked to her in days. Not since Harry saw the ring on me and got mad because I was supposed to have given that stone to Hades to be destroyed. I didn't tell him why I had it. But I had taken it off and put it away. Maybe he was right. I think when I go talk to my dad I'll give it to him.

There was a knock on my door and I frowned. I didn't feel like seeing anyone right now. But the person knocking didn't seem to get that. They knocked again.

"What?" I called to the door.

"It's me." Luna's voice came from the other side. I sighed. I really couldn't get mad at her. Not Luna. I don't know if I loved her or if it was in me to love someone, but I really did care about her a lot.

"Come on in." I said. Luna opened the door and walked in, she smiled at me and sat down on my bed. I looked over at her.

"Is there something you needed?" I tried to ask as nice as I could. Luna was the last person I wanted to be mean to, but I really wanted to be by myself to think.

"We're almost there." Luna said. "I came to let you know." She smiled and I frowned. We had tried to get to Mount Tam. for three days now, but Leo's ship kept breaking down, and he had to go slow. So, hopefully by the time we get there Harry will be there or he gets there soon after us, but I didn't even know if he had even made it to Hera yet or not.

"Okay, thanks, Luna." I said, turning back to my map.

"Your plan will work, but you should tell Harry about it." Luna said. I frowned knowing what she was talking about. Luna was. well hard to explain she seemed to know things, it wasn't really like the phrophcey's like Rachel gave, it was almost like she could see into the future. I was always tempted to ask her how this war was going to turn out if she knew if we were going to win or not, but then I always chicken out, afraid of what her answer would be.

"Luna, Harry won't like who I want to ask to go in Tartarus." I said. "What if he doesn't want to." Luna stood up came over pulled a little table over to me and sat down.

"That's why you need to let him know." Luna said. "He'll be mad if you do it without telling him." I sighed and started rolling up my map. I wasn't going to come up with anything today. I needed Harry with me anyway.

"He did it you know?" Luna asked. I frowned at her.

"Who did what?" I demanded.

"Heracleitus saved Hera." Luna said. I smiled a little.

"Don't let Harry hear you call him that." I warned. Luna smiled. "So, he saved Hera already, good, maybe he'll be there by the time we reach Mount Tam." I stood up and starched with a yawn.

Luna stood, reached up and gave me a quick kiss on the lips, then she smiled at me. "You should be happy. Something joyful will happen in the mist of this war." I frowned at her, she kissed me again then headed to the door.

"Luna, what's going to happen?" I asked. I couldn't think of any joyful event that could happen during this whole war. Besides winning it. But I don't think that's what Luna was talking about. She turned around with her dreamy thoughtful look on her face.

"I don't know if I should tell you." Luna said. "Harry and Piper don't even know yet." She then turned and skipped out the door. Pass A confused looking Percy that had walked up.

"Um, what doesn't Harry and Piper know yet and what shouldn't she tell you?" He asked. I guess he had heard the last of our conversion.

"If I knew that do you think I would have asked her." I said.

"Oh, yeah, right." Percy said. "Anyway, I just came to let you know we're about to land, so you should get whatever you're taking with you ready." I nodded picked up my sword and hooked it to my side and stuck my hand in my pocket to make sure I still had Harry's pocket watch in there. The one Leo made him, the hands had all our names on it and instead of numbers it said stuff that we were doing. Like now pulled it out of my pocket and looked at it. All our hands were pointed at traveling. Even Piper's and Harry's.

"Doesn't that belong to Harry?" Percy asked. I gave a nod and stuck it in my pocket.

"Luna said Harry has saved Hera." I told Percy. "So, maybe he'll make it there to help." Percy frowned.

"How does she know?" Percy asked. I shrugged.

"Luna knows a lot of things." I said. Walking passed him out the door. Percy followed me.

"So, then does Luna think something is going to happen to Harry and Piper?" Percy asked, worrying in his voice.

"Don't worry." I said. "Whatever it is, it'll be joyful."

"What will be joyful?" Jason asked. We had made it up deck.

"Nico, said Luna thinks, something joyful is going to happen with Shorty and Piper." Percy said. He shrugged. "But she won't say what. Apparently they don't know yet."

"Well, now we should be worried about who we're going to be fighting on the mountain." Ron said. "We'll worry about Piper and Harry's joyful event later."

"Do we all remember what to do?" Annabeth asked. We all nodded. But Hermione who was looking at Luna with a frown, like she was trying to read her mind. She'd been like that ever since Percy mentioned what Luna had said. I think she was trying to figure it out. I watched as Hermione mumbled to herself. Saying joyful event over and over, then her eyes widened and she started mumbling things about Piper, her being moody, and sick a lot. Then her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Hermione, you okay there?" Percy asked. Looking at her. She lowered her hand and nodded. But she looked worried. What ever she just figured out she wasn't sharing.

Soon after that we landed and Leo came out to join us, he lowered the steps and we all climbed down. When the last person's feet hit the ground, Leo pulled out his Wii control and pressed a button and the stairs folded back up.

"Where to?" Ginny asked.

"Just follow me." Percy said, and he headed toward Mount Tam, but first we did have to go through Harry's garden. Draca knows us, so she should let us through. If not. I guess we just wait until Harry comes. I know she'll let him through. I looked around everybody and noticed Marauder was walking with Hazel, and she didn't seem to like it, if you go by the frighten looks she kept glancing at him with. Like any minute not he would attack her.

"Um...Percy." I called to him. "You're forgetting something." He turned around and looked at me.

"We can't go in until sunset." I said. "Somehow you keep forgetting that." Percy scowled at me and I smirked. When it comes to Percy, yeah, I trust him somewhat. And thought of him as a friend. How could I not after all we've been through together. But when with him, I like to get on his nerves. It's fun to upset Percy. Because he gets mad and upset pretty easily.

"I made sure to have money with me this time." Hermione said, pulling out a couple of fifties. "We could get something to eat. We don't have long to wait."

"I brought some money too." Annabeth said. "We could go somewhere and eat. We should go over what we're going to do anyway."

"So, we did, we went into the nearest place and ordered a few hamburgers and fries and began to eat and talk over what to do, I wasn't really listen. Harry had been right about one thing. It was better to just rush in and attack. Plans never work out anyway. I really didn't see this one working out. No one was to take the sky from Enyo. Percy would take on Atlas, hoping now that he had the Achilles cures it wouldn't be so hard. And Jason would fight Voldemort. I believe they forgot the little fact he also had the Achilles curse on him. The rest of us would fight Death Eaters or monsters. And Percy will fight Atlas toward Enyo, until he was able to somehow knock him under the sky and Enyo move so he would be trapped. All sounded pretty easy. Too made it wasn't going to work.

"Isn't that Piper's dad?" Hermione asked, pointing up to a T.V. that was turned on the news. I looked up and sure enough I saw Tristan McLean coming out of what looked like a police department.

"Yeah, what's he doing there?" Annabeth demanded, frowning. A report came on-screen and began to talk.

"We have an update on the missing daughter of actor Tristan McLean. Piper McLean was known for being wild and getting into a lot of trouble, but just last Friday her father went to police because he had not heard from or has seen his daughter in over a month. Piper was suppose to be at a year round camp, but McLean had come to find that there is no such camp with the name she gave him. McLean had blamed her disappearance on her boyfriend, Harry Potter. Who is a little wild herself and is known to be violent at times. He believes he has done something to Piper. But police believes with her track record, that Piper had run off with Harry. Police believe they may be in England; where just yesterday it was reported that a girl working in a store said someone fitting Potter's description came in, bought a bottle of water, a tooth-brush, toothpaste, and mouthwash and she watched as he took it to a girl across the street that fit McLean's description. Now police aren't sure if this was a real siting or just two other kids, that might favor Potter and McLean. The girl did mention that the guy she saw had a lot of gray in his hair. Police are doing the best they can to find Piper McLean, but so far no clues. We ask if anyone has any news on where Potter or McLean, they are asked to contact the LA police department or the New York police, which is the last place either of them was spotted. We have been told that McLean's father is planning on taking a flight up there to talk to the adopted father of Harry Potter."

They flashed a picture of Piper up on the screen, along with the cop's number, then flashed Harry's mug shot from when he had got arrested up on the screen. I frowned.

"What's she talking about?" Ron demanded. "Piper isn't missing."

"Well, to her dad she is." Percy said. "He doesn't know where she is and she hasn't been calling him. Too caught up in saving Harry. I guess she forgot."

"Yeah, Piper usually keeps contact with her dad or someone working for him if he's too busy to take her call." Annabeth said. "So he won't worry about her."

"Once this is all over we'll get Piper to call her dad." Ginny said. "Come up with some reason for not calling him, the whole thing will be straightened out." I snorted.

"Yeah, well, maybe we should leave out the part where he's blaming Harry." I said. "Piper has been a little touching when it comes to him. Even after she got him back."

"A little?" Ron asked. He felt of his throat I guess remembering Piper having her dagger to his throat.

"This is bad." Annabeth said. "If Piper's dad is realizing something is funny about where she goes and was able to find out the name of the came sha gave him was fake." Annabeth chewed on her jaw. "You don't think the mist is starting to fell do you?" Jason frowned.

"I hope not." he said. "Last thing we need is a bunch of mortals seeing monsters and all that."

"Do anyone else find what Harry bought funny?" Ginny asked. Annabeth frowned.

"Mouthwash, water, toothbrush and toothpaste." She said. "And he carried it across the street to Piper. I guess she got sick again. But she has Harry back." She narrowed her eye in thought. Then frowned, before her eyes suddenly got big and her mouth dropped open.

"Catching flies, Wise Girl." Percy said, then he reached over and shut her mouth and she glared at him. But then shared a look with Hermione and she nodded and Annabeth frowned.

"Well, all I have to say is Piper's dad better not go to Sirius accessing Harry of anything." Percy said. "Movie star or no movie star. Sirius will kick his ass."

"Percy, watch your mouth." Annabeth snapped. She then stood. "Come on guess the sun is about to go down, we have to make it there before it starts to set or we'll be waiting until tomorrow to get in."

As we walked out the door the news switch to talking about some mortals in Romania claiming to have seen dragons flying around. Maybe Annabeth was right, the mist was starting to fall, wonder if Gaea had anything to do with it. She was getting stronger.

We walked in silence as Percy led us to a foggy area, he stopped and turned around. "Alright, the garden is just through here." Percy said. "We walk through the fog and it turns into a road of dirt, which is where we come out at and walk on. Hopefully Draca is the only one we run into. I hope the nymphs aren't going to be around. We didn't actually leave on friendly terms last time. And the Mountain is just passed the garden." I looked up at it and saw fog and dark stormy looking clouds.

Leo snorted. "Friendly terms, didn't Piper put her dagger to one of their throats." Annabeth glared at him.

"Yeah, she does that a lot." Ron said.

"Well, nothing is going to get done just staying around here." I said. And as the sun began to set I headed into the fog. This wouldn't be the first time I've been here. I was with Harry and the others when he came here. It took the others a little while to meet up with me, but when they did I glared at them and demanded.

"What took you so long?"

"Ginny and Ron couldn't see it at first." Percy explained. I rolled my eyes.

"Then why didn't you just leave them behind." I asked. Ginny glared at me and Ron cried Hey.

"I wasn't going to leave Ginny behind." Jason cried, giving me a dirty look. I matched it with one of my own and started heading down the dirt road. The others soon followed. We walked until a giant blue-green darken, with purple diamond shapes going down its back, with sliver horns, and silver spike on its tail came into view. She was curled up asleep under Hera's golden apple tree. Seeing her like that I couldn't help but think Harry was right about how her being pretty. Even if she was a hundred foot long snake with dragon like legs and talons.

Hermione moaned when she saw her and Ron blurted out bloody hell. She had been at camp just a little bit before Hera took her away to guard her garden. But neither had ever been this close to her.

"Maybe we could walk around her without waking her up." Hazel said.

"Why, she's not going to hurt us." I said. But the others liked the not waking her idea, and we went to walk around, but with Ron that didn't go so good.

"Are those apples real gold?" He demanded, and took a step toward the back of the tree. But the moment he got to close Draca awoken and her giant head came around the tree and if Jason hadn't grabbed Ron and jerked him back, he would have been darken feed. Draca raised her head opened her deep blue eyes glaring down at us with a big hiss, then stood, before getting a good look at us. She seemed to recognize me before she did the other. Which wasn't really shocking, I was one of them riding her back with Harry on the way to Azkaban.

Draca looked at me then at everyone else, she seemed to be looking for something. Or was it someone, she then looked down at us with a look like she would be raising an eyebrow if she had one. Hermione seemed to realize what the darken wanted to know.

"Oh, um...Harry isn't with us." Hermione said. Draca gave a huge hiss, almost like a scream. "He's okay. We saved him." Hermione went on. "He just had something else to do before coming here...he had to save his mother." Draca stopped hissing and looked down at Hermione. She took a step back in fear and stepped a little behind Leo.

"Hello, Draca." Luna stepped up to her and grinned. "Sorry about Ron, he just gets excited when he sees gold." Ron's face turned red. "He wasn't going to take one. We're just passing through going up to Mount Tam. Do you mind?" She beamed at the giant snake. Draca lowered her head level to Luna. My hand immediately went to my sword. Harry's friend or not, if she acted like she was going to attack my girlfriend I was going to cut her head off. But after just looking Luna over, she gave a nod and Luna beamed and patted her on the head.

We all soon passed by the Darken and headed up toward the Mountain of Despair. Not knowing who we would have to fight once we got up there. Voldemort, Atlas, monsters, Death Eaters, anyone or anything. But we were ready.

It took us about an hour once we reached the bottom of the mountain to climb it, Marauder to Hazel's great relief had moved to walking between Percy and Annabeth.

The moment we reach the top of Mount Tam. we were surround by Death Eaters, all with their wands pointed at us, then the air shifted and Voldemort appeared in the middle of them. Then who could only be Atlas walked up the side of them, looked right at Percy and smiled.

"Well, hello, Jackson." he said. "How you been?" Percy narrowed his eyes at him, and Voldemort looked from each of us. It was a good thing I had taken that ring off. Last thing we needed was for him to know we were hunting Horcruxes.

"No, Potter?" Voldemort asked. "I'm I to amuse he did not make it."

"Oh, Harry made it." Percy said. "And he'll be here soon to kick your butt." Voldemort frowned.

"I thought it was too much to hope for." he said. "But don't worry, once he gets here I'll kill him."

"I don't think so." Jason said, holding up his sword. I heard a rumble of thunder and lightning flashed across the sky. I felt a drop of rain, great we get to fight in the rain. What fun.

We all just stood there a minute, no one said anything, then before I knew it we were all battling, Percy had brought out Riptide and was battling Atlas Annabeth was fighting with Death Eaters, she flipped one over her shoulder, and then tripped another. Luna, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were all stunning the ones that come at them, Hazel had her spear out and was fighting one, Leo had a hammer in his hand knocking some in the head, Marauder growled and took down a few with one swipe of his paw, and Jason was fighting Voldemort, who had brought out a sword. Thunder erupted every time their swords hit, rain started to come down harder, and clouds were rolling in all around us, and down at the bottom the fog seemed worse.

I don't know whatever one thought they were doing, but they were either just knocking out the Death Eaters that were fighting or knocking them down. They were just going to get back up that way. Then needed to take them out. A Death Eater came at me, I ducked his spell and came back up and sliced him across the side with my sword before moving on to the other. I noticed Jason was losing his battle with Voldemort, what did he except he had the Achilles curse. The only one here that would be able to give him a good fight would be Percy, and he was fighting Atlas, and I doubt any of us could do that...but then. I looked toward Enyo, her blood-red hair was hanging down her face, she wore the same old tight black outfit as when I first met her. She would be able to fight Atlas so Percy could go over and help Jason fight Voldemort. I sliced another Death Eater in the leg, then made a shadow grab another one, I then ran over to where Enyo was she raised her head.

"Well, another family get together." She groaned. I rolled my eyes.

"That line is getting old." I told her. "Here give me that, so you can go fight Atlas." She snorted.

"Yeah, like you can hold up the sky, little man." Enyo said. I looked back over to Voldemort and Jason to see Jason was really losing now, I then glanced at Percy and Atlas, he was backing Percy up against the edge. Everyone was pretty much fighting like they had been.

"I can handle it." I said. "Come on, I have an idea." Enyo rolled her fiery red eyes.

"Your funeral, kid." She said, I then got next to her ready to take it. Shadow started to swirl all around me.

"Okay, now." I said. Enyo let go and I was almost crushed by the weight, but then shadows formed around me, making hands and shot up, helping me to hold up the sky, it was still hard, the sky was pretty heavy. But I used the shadows to help me hold it up, which caused it to look dark all around us.

Even though Enyo was the goddess of war and all that, I have never seen her fight, until not, once she was free of the sky, she held out her hand and her thigh bone handle sword appeared in her hand, she ran toward Atlas and took over Percy's fight. She swung her sword at him and Atlas' eyes widened before he started fighting back, but it didn't do any good. Enyo brought her sword up and sliced it crossed Atlas' chest, he cried out as gold blood poured out, he then glared at Enyo, she laughed and went after him again. She soon had him backing up. Percy, seeing Enyo looked surprised and glanced toward me, his eyes widened and he took a step toward me. I shook my head and nodded toward Jason. He frowned a minute, but then looked, saw him losing to Voldemort and ran toward him to help. He soon took over and had Voldemort frowning, as he back him up. They were soon hitting swords back and forth.

Hermione, Luna, Ron, and Ginny were still throwing spells, Annabeth sliced a Death Eater with her dagger, then swiped his legs out from under him, Jason was fighting two Death Eaters at a time. I watched as he brought down a bolt of lighting and hit one in the chest making him fly back, Leo was still using his hammer, and I was still holding up the sky, as shadows swirled around and rain poured down. But then I watched in horror as a Death Eater cried out a curse and it headed right at Hazel who was standing on the edge of the mountain. Even if it wasn't some killing cures it would make her go flying off the mountain and I was unable to help. I thought I was going to watch as another one of my sisters was killed, but the spell didn't hit her, it just bounced right off as if an invisible shield had blocked it, and then Harry was there along with Piper, they came running on top of the mountain. He must have seen her being cursed and had cast a shield charm to block it.

Harry looked at Hazel to make sure she was okay, then turned to the Death Eater and throw a blast of magic at him, it hit him and he went flying off the other side of the mountain. He then turned and throw magic at another one and they went flying off the mountain. He then pulled his sword out and he and Piper joined the battle and I noticed Piper once again had Harry's sword, and not her dagger. Her bow and arrow was also on her back, but she didn't go for them.

Suddenly we were surrounded by monsters of all kinds, and with the others already fighting Death Eaters, it made it worse, we were suddenly losing. I couldn't do anything to help either. Besides sending a shadow out now and then to help with something. At one time Harry's eyes met mine as he was taking out a earth-born. He sent more shadows my way to help. He can control shadows and shadow travel. But he couldn't turn into them or mix into them like I could We tired when I trained him, but he didn't have that ability. He didn't seem to mind not being able to. But now, we were losing this fight and losing bad. Just too many now, Death Eaters and monsters. And the best fighter out there was busy fighting Voldemort. Every time Harry tried to go over to help Percy, either a Death Eater or a monster stopped him.

There was suddenly a war cry, and everyone stopped to look, and suddenly a bunch of girls came running over the top of the mountain. They looked like warriors, then it hit me, Jason said they had run into the amazons, didn't he saw their queen was a daughter of Enyo, they must have come to help their mom. Most the girls ran to the monster, but what I assumed was their queen headed to help Enyo, and a girl who looked like her headed to help Jason who was fighting four Death Eaters at once.

Enyo and her daughter had Atlas heading my way, I guess she was trying to get him back under the sky, a Death Eater came up behind Enyo and she just turned around and sliced his head off before turning back to Atlas and went on fighting as if nothing ever happened.

"No, I will never go back under there not again." Atlas cried, he stepped up his fighting and soon had Enyo backing up. Hermione frowned their way then her eyes widened like she got an idea.

"Leo!" She cried, running toward Enyo and Atlas. "Toss me Brize!" He knocked a Death Eater out with his hammer and frowned at her confused, then it clicked in his head who she was talking about and he pulled out the jar holding the gadfly and held it up, Hermione used her wand to summon it to her, then ran over and stood by Enyo, who by then had Atlas backed up again and heading toward me. I got ready to let go at the right time, but it seemed like Atlas was determined not to be trapped under the sky again. Hermione waited until the right moment, then she opened the jar and tossed the gadfly in Atlas' face, he stumbled back toward me, I rolled out from under the sky and Atlas screamed as the sky landed on his shoulders.

I wanted to help fight but I fell to my knees weak, I used a lot to hold up the sky and felt as if I was going to pass out. I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder I looked up to see Harry.

"You alright there, Nick?" He asked. I nodded. For some reason Harry was the only one I didn't get mad at when he called me anything other than Nico.

"I'm fine." I said. Harry tugged on my hair.

"You're the one with the gray hair now." He said. I glared at him and slapped his hand. He laughed then ran over to help Piper, but Voldemort came out of nowhere and hit him knocking him across the ground. Harry jumped back up held up the blade of Olympus and went at Voldemort, their swords hit, but Harry was soon being backed up. Voldemort did have the Achilles curse. Harry was no match for him, Voldemort spun around and knocked Harry's sword out of his hands. Marauder growled and tried to run over, but Voldemort hit him with a blast of air and he went flying back and landed a few feet away.

"Harry!" Piper tried to run over to help after she knocked out the Death Eater she was fighting. I don't know if it was me or not, but it seemed like nothing was hitting Piper. All the spells and cures were just flying right by her. But as she ran toward Harry to help him both Annabeth and Hermione grabbed her and held her back.

"That wouldn't be a good idea in your condition." Annabeth said. I frowned, and Piper looked at her confused.

"What? Let go, he's going to hurt Harry." Hermione shook her head. I gathered up some strength and as Voldemort came down at Harry with his sword, a shadowy hand formed around it and stopped it. Then Percy came out of nowhere and hit Voldeort and sent him flying. Voldemort just laughed and stood up.

Harry jumped to his feet grabbed his sword and ran toward him, but Voldemort laughed and disappeared in a blast of air, soon his Death Eaters followed. All but one who sent a curse flying at Harry as he disappeared with a loud pop, the spell hit Harry, who dropped his sword and went flying over the edge of the Mountain.

"No!" Piper cried heading toward the edge, but Percy grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back, but she fought him off. Enyo just stood in the back watching, next to her two daughters, the rest of the amazons were further back watching. "No, I just got him back. It's not fair. Jason go after him."

Jason looked startled but then headed toward the side as Piper dropped to her knees and looked, but then out of the clouds and fog flew a black hawk with a gray streak on the side of its head. It flew up and over our heads and landed on the ground in front of us. And started with bright green eyes. Before it turned into Harry, he grinned at us.

"You know it's a lot easier to turn into your animagus when you are fallen to your death." He said. Piper jumped up and ran to him and throw her arms around his waist and hugged him, she laid her head on his shoulder and began to cry. "I'm fine, baby," Harry wrapped his arms around her. "Sorry, I scared you." Piper nodded.

"Harry, don't do that again." Hermione demanded. "You scared us to death."

"It's not my fault." Harry said. "I didn't throw myself off the mountain."

"I was I could be an animagus." Leo said. Percy nodded in agreement.

"Piper." Enyo started walking our way, her two daughters following. "Just the girl I wanted to see." Piper raised her head and looked at her, and Harry narrowed her eyes.

"Why?" He demanded. Enyo ignored him and held out her hand and Piper's old dagger Kratorpis appeared in it. Both Harry and Piper frowned at it. "I believe you will be needing this" She held it out to Piper. She didn't reach for it. "Oh, come out, his blood is all off it." Piper slowly reached out and took it from Enyo's hand. "Go, ahead look at the blade, you might see something interesting."

Piper frowned at her, then sat up from Harry's arms and slide the knife out of the holder and held it up to look at the blade. At first nothing, but then Piper's eyes widen and her mouth dropped open and she dropped it.

"What?" Harry demanded. "Did it hurt you." He took hold of Piper's hand and looked it over. He glared up at Enyo. "Are you bloody mad?" Enyo grinned.

The younger girl by Enyo, took a step at Harry with a spear pointed out. "Show the goddess of war respect, boy." She demanded. Harry jumped at boy, then his eyes darkened and even the girl took a step back in shock.

"Don't you ever call me boy." He demanded, he took a step toward her, but Jason stepped in front of her and held up his hands.

"Wow, calm down man, Reyna didn't mean anything by it." He said. Over at the side I saw Ginny frowning at him. Jason must know the girl from somewhere. I also saw Hazel frowning at what Jason was doing. Enyo laughed and stepped forward.

"Don't worry, little Heracletius, she's fine." Enyo smiled at Piper. "You saw him didn't you?" She nodded, looking shocked as she laid her hand on her stomach, then dropped down to pick up the knife.

"Saw who?" Harry demanded. Luna beamed at him.

"Your son." She said. Harry backed up a little.

"What?" He demanded. Piper stood back up looking into her dagger, with one hand on her stomach. I think she still saw whatever it was she saw, she ran her hand across the front of blade, not taking her eyes off it. "Piper, what...what do you see? And please don't do that you're going to cut your finger."

"Oh, my gods." Piper cried. "Why didn't I realize... I keep getting sick... I've been moody lately and crying a lot more than usual." She looked at Harry. "I'm pregnant." Harry's eyes widen and he took another step back.

"You are what?" Percy asked, looking at Piper wide-eyed, his eyes then dropped down to her stomach with a look that suggested an alien was about to pop out of it. Ron was looking between Harry and Piper with wide-eyed, Ginny's mouth was thrown open and Hazel's eyes were as big as saucers. Annabeth, Hermione, and Luna looked as if they knew and Marauder came up to Piper and started licking her hand until she pulled it away.

"Are you sure?" Harry asked. Enyo started laughing, she walked up to Piper and laid her hand on her stomach.

"Oh, she's sure, daddy." She said.

Harry glared at her and slapped Enyo's hand away from Piper. "Don't touch her." Harry turned back to Piper. Enyo's daughters gripped their weapons along with the other amazons, but Enyo just waved them off.

"Don't worry girls, Harry is just playing." She said. "He's like that, he acts like he hates me, but I'm really his favorite sister. Aren't I?" She grinned at Harry and he glared at her again.

"If I had a favorite sister it would be Eileithyia not you." He said, then turned back to Piper.

"Are you sure?" He asked. Piper nodded. And Harry reached out his hand and laid it on her stomach. He smiled a minute, but then frowned. "But is it okay? What about the battle and all the fighting you've been in." His eyes suddenly widened. "Oh, Merlin you've been shot. Oh gods, do you think he or she is okay?" Piper frowned and put both hands on her stomach.

"Don't worry." Enyo said. "He's just fine. You have two blessings put on you to keep him safe, one by Eieithya and one by Mother." Piper looked surprised a moment then sighed. "Oh, I can't wait to see my little nephew's birth. And when he gets older, he's going to be a great warrior there."

"Enyo, you go anywhere near my child and you will regret it." Harry told her. He turned back to Piper and put his hands on either side of her face.

"I swear, Baby, I'll be here for you." He said. "And I'll keep you and our baby safe." Piper nodded tears fallen down her face and Harry kissed her briefly, before pulling away and wrapping his arms around her. Both looking frightened and scared. I guess I couldn't blame them. Me I was shocked myself, I just didn't show it.

"You're what now?" Percy demanded. We all looked at him.

"Pregnant." Jason said. "How can you guys be so careless. We're in the middle of a war." Ginny glared at him and crossed her arms.

"Leave them alone." Ron said. He looked from him to Ginny. "And don't get any ideas about my sister either." Jason frowned at him, but said nothing. I saw Ginny's face turned red. He turned back to Harry and Piper, his eyes went to Piper's stomach.

"Blimey." He whispered as it started to sink in, he mumbled things like. "Harry...baby...Mum will have a fit...blimey, a baby. I'm not being the one that tells mum."

"I'm going to have a cousin." Leo demanded, his eyes wide and his mouth open. Harry gave him a funny look.

"Well, I have to go." Enyo said. "I want to have a chat with Mother." She turned to her two daughters. "Hylla, Reyna, I'll come see you in a few days."

"Don't go bugging Mum." Harry demanded. "She's been through enough lately. Without putting up with you."

Enyo just laughed at him then she was gone.

"Jason, can I talk to you a minute." Reyna asked. Jason nodded and walked off to the side with her. Ginny frowned at them when they went out of sight.

"Thank you for helping us." Hazel said to Hylla, she gave a nod.

"Our mother was in trouble we had to help out." Hylla said. She glanced at Harry and Piper, with a thoughtful look, then watched Harry a few minutes. "I guess all man aren't so bad." She had a little wistfulness in her voice. Like she wished she could find someone with a heart like Harry's. "Reyna, we need to go." She called walked toward her sister. Jason came walking back over his face a little red, and was wiping off his mouth. Ginny frowned at that, with narrowed eyes. And the Amazons left.

"You're what now." Percy asked again, he ran his hand through his hair. "How did that happen?"

"Percy, that's a question for your mom." I said. Percy's face turned red and he glared at me. I heard Harry laughing.

Soon we all headed down the mountain ourselves. Piper and Harry wrapped in each others arms. We were all shocked at what we just learned.

"Blimey, a baby." Ron mumbled. Still looking shocked.

A.N. Hope I did that good, that was hard to write. I also hope I got everyone's reactions right and that was good. Next chapter will probably be the last, but it won't be too long until I get the next story up, and that one will be the last. I have no idea if what I said about anybody being able to shut the Doors of Death is true or not, but for my story to work it is. And if you're wondering about Jason and Ginny, well I figured all of them couldn't have a perfect relationship. One of them had to have problems other than fearing for each others safety. There was no way I was going to touch Harry and Piper, Leo and Hermione is just starting, and Nico and Luna are barely couple considering they hardly even kiss each other. (I think Nico is just scared of getting too close to someone.) So that left Ginny and Jason. But don't worry, if you like Ginny and Jason being together. By the end they'll probably stay together. I just needed a little drama from the other people.
