Summary: Harry Potter, at twenty years just had enough, and Death offers him a way out. This was not what he expected. Stuck in what is 'supposedly' another world, turned into a girl, and getting dragged to a strange camp is pretty hard for the-now Hyacinth Iris Potter. After all, being the daughter of not one, but three gods in not an easy task. Especially when the resident Greek Sun God gets interested in you. Oh why couldn't 'his' life be normal for once?
Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson and Harry Potter series's. And unfortunately never will.
Pairings: Apollo/Hyacinth. Thanatos/Hestia. Slight Thanatos/Iris. James/Lily. Percy/?
Warnings: 'Fem'!Harry. World Travel. Death really likes his new master. Mentions of slash. This could be counted as slash but Harry's now a girl so yeah. AU, in a literal and non-literal sense. Dumbledore's bashing. Weasley bashing(exceptions being Bill, Charlie, Twins, and Ginny to some degree). Zeus bashing. Slight Olympian bashing. Fem!Percy...
Notes: This was inspired by DZ2's Harry Potter, the Twice-Blessed Half-Blood challenge. I don't know if it even could be considered an answer to the challenge. ...So for now, it's only inspired by the challenge. This is my first HP/PJ crossover. I would've made it slash...but I suck at writing it. I have a draft and it's only like, fivehundred words (TT^TT)

Chapter 02: Everything Went Downhill When I Met My Cousin And Saw Loony Again
Hiya there, strange voices in my head! It's me, Hadrian James Potter! Or, at least, I was. Now, let's do a recap of what happened, and why I'm stuck here.
Okay, so after learning my whole life had been a carefully crafted lie because of Albus Dumbledore, I decided I wanted to end it. I destroyed the stone, snapped the wand, and gave everything and my cloak to my godson, Edward Remus Lupin. Then Death, my servant, told me that I couldn't die because of something to do with our life connected or something. So, instead of me dying, I got stuck in another me who's from another world. So now my name's Hyacinth Iris Potter. I wasn't really happy about that. I mean, why couldn't I stay a guy? Why did I have to turn into a girl? The only good thing was that I could still call myself Harry.
Okay so I also learned this world has a +13 year timeskip. Meaning; I was born on July 31 1993. Yay.
So after my parents were killed, again, I, instead of going to the Dursleys, was placed with my mum's cousin and her family, Laura and Henry Dare. I learned that their child was called Rachel Elizabeth Dare and was about half a year older than me. She's really sweet and artistic and outgoing. But she hates her parents 'cause her dad tears down wildlife and her parents barely hang out with us.
So seven years have passed normally. The only exception being the few burst of accidental magic on both my and Rachel's part, the odd visits from Death, very odd creatures appearing randomly and trying to kill me, but were bested by Death, and Rachel's hamster dying two years. Dr. Arkwright, a therapist, was recently called to help her sort out her problems. He's annoying.
"Hey, Harry! You ready for school." Rachel, so far my favourite cousin, walked into my room. Her short, curly red hair framed her heart-shaped face, and her pale green eyes sparkled happily. I was happy too. We had somehow managed to again convince Henry to let us go to public school at least for a little while.
It involved a lot of Jell-O, smoothies and paintings. I don't want to talk about it again.
"Sure, just let me brush my hair and we can go." I told and and sprinted into the bathroom. I grabbed a brush and god started on my hair. As I did so, I observed my female form. The girl in the mirror had hip length – Aunt Laura made me grow my hair out – two coloured hair in regal curls. Some parts of it a fierce red, and other parts a dark ebony. Two long curls framed my olive face. My eyes were almond shaped, and were still the Avada Kedavra green, but this time with a few honey gold flecks. Though sometimes when I am pissed or angry or sad, a small fire starts burning in them. Weird. I had a small nose (my mum's) and high cheekbones (my dad's).
Okay, this might sound narcissistic of me, but I thought I was pretty cute. Even though I was still a midget. Apparently, Aunt Laura told me it was because I was born premature, at six months.
A few seconds later, I finally managed to pull my hair into a high ponytail and trip down the stairs.
Insert a few crashing noises here.
I groaned and rubbed the bump that had formed on my head. I heard a squeaky voice snickered above me. I looked up to see Rachel laughing. Stupid midget.
I glared up at her and stood up shakily. Aunt Laura appeared in the doorway of the kitchen to see what had happened, but upon seeing me just laughed at my predicament. "Again, Hyacinth?" I scowled. Ever since I became a girl I had gained two left feet that appear at the worst of times. I mean – how can you trip up the stairs? Up, not down.
Rachel was the only person that called me Harry. Everyone else, much to my irritation, called me either Hyacinth, Iris, or Hyacinth Iris. Despite my glares, insults, threats, and growls. I swore they only did that to irritate me.
I pushed passed my aunt and into the dining hall, where breakfast was being placed down by some maids. I sat down grumpily, as Rachel sat down beside me and her mother opposite of her.
As soon as I saw the first pancake, I dug in. Humph. Manners. Who needed that? I ignored the disapproving look that Aunt Laura gave me, along with the resigned look my cousin shot me.
After about half an hour, we were in the limousine heading to our school called Jenkins or something – I never really bothered to remember the name. We told the driver to stop a few blocks away, telling him we'll be fine, as usual. He just sighed and drove off, used to this.
Me and Rachel walked – or skipped in Rachel's case, how can she be so damn hyper in the morning?! – the rest of the way to our school. I sighed when I saw the gates. Let my daily torture begin.
Little did I know, today would be very different from the usual.
My classes whizzed by with me sleeping. Apparently, I had Dyslexia and ADHD, so I couldn't really understand English unfortunately. And do not get me stuck on my ADHD. Ugh. It's torture, 'cause I can't stop moving around. So instead, I sleep.
So soon enough, it was lunch break. I made my way outside, to the large oak tree that was near the building, where I was supposed to meet with Rachel.
But on my way, something caught my eye. My blood boiled in rage at what I saw; a girl my age getting picked around by some older boys. They were pushing her around and calling her things like 'freak', 'weirdo', and 'ugly'. The first word made me the angriest because of my past with the Dursleys. It reminded me of them. Those monsters.
I stormed over there with a snarl on my face and proceeded to punch the kid that called the girl freak. No one in this school will get bullied on my watch!
I twisted around to the other boy and kicked him in the stomach. Then I turned to the only girl and shoved her to the ground. They were about to do something, but one look in my eyes and they were scrambling away.
I huffed. "Cowards, the lot of them." I sneered out, before turning to the girl that was about my height. Huh. Must've been born prematurely like me. She flinched back. That look in her eyes made me freeze, my body going cold... They reminded me of mine when I was with the Dursleys.
I decided to speak softly, as if talking to a frightened animal. "Hello there. I'm Hyacinth Iris Potter, but just call me Harry. What's your name?" She blinked slowly, as if not expecting me to talk to her.
She stayed silent for a while. I didn't expect her to say anything, but then she spoke quietly. "Titania Jackson. But call me Tia, Harry." I beamed at her happily, and grabbed her hand. She flinched back but I just steered her over to the oak tree.
When we arrived, Rachel was painting a picture, of Tia, even though they never met. I cleared my throat and she snapped out of the trance she was in and looked up. Rachel blinked when she saw Tia, before glancing down at her painting, then at Tia, then at the painting, Tia, painting, Tia, painting. And so on until she spoke an intelligent "Oh."
"Yes. Oh." I rolled my eyes and took the painting out of my redheaded cousin's hands. The painting of Tia looked exactly like her. I looked up, and a living version of it was standing in front of me. She had tan skin and long, messy ebony hair braided into a messy braid thrown over her shoulder. She also had green eyes like us, but hers were more the colour of the sea, and if I wasn't mistaken her eyes were also swirling like a deep blue-green whirlpool.
"Hey Tia, this is Rachel Elizabeth Dare, my cousin." I gesture to the stunned child sitting under the tree. "And RED, this is Titania Jackson, but she insists on being called Tia, and is my new friend!" Tia waved shyly.
That shook Rachel out of whatever trance she was in, and she hesitantly greeted the shy ravenette. "Nice to meet you, Tia!"
And thus, a beautiful friendship of three green-eyed, black or red or both haired girls, was formed. Or; in which the Green Eyed Gang was born!
(Am I the only one that noticed that Hyacinth has the hair colour of both Rachel and Titania?)
Rachel Elizabeth Dare regretted ever befriending and being related to the enigmas known as Titania Jackson and Hyacinth Potter. How can two girls barely the age of nine get into so much trouble? They're masters at it! Rachel doesn't even want to get into how many detentions she's had to get them out of since they met. And that was a month ago! And they were only in third grade! Seriously, it's like they're related or something!
You're probably wondering what they did, right? Well, those two knucklehead, unpredictable idiots were almost kidnapped – or so they claimed – by a man in a trench coat that had only one eye under the brim of his fedora. And now they, along with Rachel for some reason, were viewed as insane, attention seeking, poor little shits.
Rachel growled at any and all people as she stomped towards the principal's office where her mother and Tia's mother, Sally, were waiting. The two adults were talking to a police officer, while a woman was checking on the two children.
Rachel heaved a great big sigh, and walkes in. She regretted it as soon at two green eyes were on her. "RED!" They cried out and proceeded to glomp their rather reluctant friend. Said girl looked into her friends' eyes and sighed. Why did it always have to be her?
As the two babbled on about how scared they were, Rachel noticed a woman standing in the corner, hidden away from everyone. She had long black hair that flowed down her back in a loose ponytail, and mischievous caramel eyes with thin glasses. She had on a pink dress shirt with a dark blue opened sweater on it and a black skirt and blue flats. It was a wonder the beautiful woman didn't get noticed, Rachel thought. But then her eyes narrowed suspiciously, it's also quite suspicious. Who is she anyway?
The woman just smirked at her questioning stare, and before the young Dare could say anything, she disappeared. Literally. One second, she was there, and then all of a sudden Rachel blinked and the woman was gone. Disappearing in a rainbow flash only she noticed.
Well, that was...not normal.
Rachel looked down at the two green eyed girl and felt a headache forming. And why did she have a feeling it involved these two weirdos?
I am so gonna get involved in their craziness. Rachel Elizabeth Dare, future blue plastic hairbrush master, silently despaired.
I didn't know how I got into this mess. Oh wait, I do. It involved what was most likely a Cyclops, and my friend Tia. So me and Tia – I ignored the voice that sounded suspiciously like a frustrated Hermione's saying "Honestly, Harry! It's 'Tia and I'! When will you get that into your head?" – were at the school's playground messing around when this guy stalked up to us and tried to grab my Tia. I did the smart thing any best friend would do – yes, Tia had gotten upgraded to best friend in a month. Deal with it. I kicked him in the balls and grabbed a terrified Tia and ran to the nearest teacher.
Now here we are, in the hospital, and staying for the night. That's not the problem, even though I hated hospitals and have a record of running away from them. But what was the problem, was the person me and Tia were sharing a hospital room with.
I stared into her glazed gray-blue eyes head on, unflinching. She smiled at me serenely, her wavy blond hair pulled up in a ponytail. "Hello, young Prince. It has been a while since we last left." Yup, that was definitely Luna Lovegood, resident wacko of Hogwarts. I stared. The fact that she was in a hospital surprised me. Yes but what surprised me more, was that she knew exactly who I was. Well, shit. Things just got ten times more complicated.
"Hey, Luna." I greeted her hesitantly as I glanced at a very confused ravenette. But then Tia shrugged and outstretched her arm. "Hiya there. I'm Tia Jackson, Harry's friend." Luna took her hand with a pleasant smile. "It's a pleasure meeting the Prince's friend. My name is Luna Lovegood."
Tia nodded. "Love is good." She said absentmindedly, causing the witch to giggle. "That it is, Sea Princess."
"What are you doing here?" I butted in, feeling a bit left out. Luna blinked at me owlishly, but answered calmly with a hint of sadness in her eyes. "My mother was recently killed in an explosion that caused me to get some burns." I closed my eyes as tears formed in Tia's eyes. I had known about the death of Pandora Lovegood, but I hadn't expected Luna's mum to die when she was just seven.
"I see. I offer my condolences." She just nodded, taking it in stride. Then, all of a sudden, she spoke. "Sea Princess, you do know the Prince is a witch right?" Tia just stared blankly and I resisted the urge to facepalm. I was surrounded by idiots.
"What?" Was the young Jackson's intelligent reply. Luna just continued explaining, cheerfully if I say, the existence of magic, my life story, and so on to a shell-shocked Tia.
"Okay, so both you and Harry are witches. Magic exists. And Harry's daddy and mommy were killed by a bad wizard so instead of being sent to a mean aunt by the bad Headmaster, someone else sent Harry to the Dares?" Tia's ability to sum long, complicated things into a few measly sentences still amazes me to this day.
"Pretty much." I shrugged. She stared at me long and hard, and just as I was starting to think she was gonna say I'm a freak or something like that, her lips formed into a wide grin. "That's so cool!" This time, I did facepalm.
"After learning your best friend was a witch, that's the best you can say?" I questioned her exasperatedly. She just nodded cheerfully.
"By the way, Greek gods exist." Me and Tia stared at Luna incredulously. Sure, we can believe that magic exists, but gods? Ha! Don't make me laugh! "We're all living proof of that."
"What?" Tia deadpanned.
"Oh, you see, sometimes gods and goddesses come down to earth to... mingle with humans. That usually end with us being born. We're all demigods. Half human, half god." Luna told us serenely. "I'm a legacy of Hephaestus, and a daughter of Hypnos. I'm your cousin because your daddy is my daddy's twin brother!" She told me cheerfully, and I blanked.
I felt a bid miffed at what she said. "My mum would never cheat on dad." I informed her furiously. Luna just sighed like I was an idiot. "Silly Prince. You see the real Lily Evans and James Potter died before they were born, so a god and goddess decided to take over their bodies. Unfortunately, your daddy, Thanatos, sealed his memories while your mummy luckily didn't. Your mummy was Hestia by the way. So after they were married Hestia learned that her mortal body was infertile, so the goddess Iris decided to help her old friend, and gave her a part of her womb. Congratulations, Prince! You're the daughter of three gods!" Luna beamed. Percy stared. I was preparing to do a fainting spell.
...I am so going to have a talk with Death after this.
"Wait, you said that all of us are demigods. So who's dad is Tia's." Said person shifted uncomfortably as Luna's glazed eyes turned to her. Luna hummed in thought before answering. "Difficult. Oh so very difficult if I must say the truth." She said wisely. "But your eyes tell it all. You're the first-born daughter of Poseidon. Congratulations, young Sea Princess." Tia then proceeded to faint.
I decided to join her in LaLa Land, leaving a half confused half amused demigod-legacy behind.
The next time I woke there was no Luna Lovegood, just me and a groggy Tia. Was it all a dream? One look at Tia answered that. It wasn't. What had happened when Luna was around was very much real, and a certain primordial creature wouldn't be seen for a very long time.
If you were so stupid to not understand me ("I'm talking about you Death!"), the primordial is Death.
"So we're demigods, if Luna's telling the truth." I said. Tia nodded slowly, a contemplating look on her face. "At least it explains why I can breathe underwater." She told me dryly after a few minutes of silence.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing, the Jackson soon joining me. But we both shut up when Rachel entered the room. The moment she saw us she scowled. "What did you do?"
We sputtered in unison. "Wh-What makes you say we did anything!?"
Rachel rolled her light green eyes and scowled. "I've been with Harry since I was a kid and I've known Tia long enough. So start talking, or I'm bringing out the big guns." She threatened. I inched away from her. I knew she could be scary on a good day, but downright terrifying on a bad day.
"Harry's a witch!" Tia exclaimed cheerfully. Rachel blinked. "I knew that. Aunt Lily was a witch too."
"But that's not all!" Now Tia was just plain gleeful. Rachel raised an eyebrow as she continued. "We met Harry's witch friend Luna, who told us that we're demigods! And my daddy is Poseidon!" Rachel blinked before smiling slightly. "And it turns out that Lily and James were actually Hestia and Thanatos, but that's not all! Since Lily's body couldn't have babies, Iris helped. So Hestia, Iris, and Thanatos are her parents!"
"You have three gods for parents." My cousin deadpanned. I nodded. She fainted.
Gods dammit.
A week after the whole incident, after we were let out the hospital, we sat in front of a resigned Sally Jackson. She was nervously looking around the café we were in.
"So...how did you find out?" She questioned us about finding out about her and Poseidon's... Well, you know.
"My friend." I deadpanned. "Luna Lovegood is a legacy of Hephaestus and a daughter of Hypnos. She told us that we were demigods, Tia being a daughter of Poseidon. So is it true?" Sally looked hesitant about telling us the truth, but finlly she relented and said, "Yes. Me and Poseidon met during the summer, and well... It ended with you." She turned a bit red, trying to avoid explaining...the deed, to us.
I didn't blame her. The Talk was... something my two cousins weren't ready for. And neither was I.
"He was a kind, and gentle man. Very powerful too." Sally told us sadly. "He offered to build me a castle under the sea, he offered to stop a wave for me, and most of all, he offered us a home in Atlantis." She teared up a bit at that. Both Rachel and Tia gasped. "But–But I couldn't accept. I wanted you to live a normal life, away from everything. It was selfish of me, I know, but–"
I interrupted her heatedly. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to give your daughter a normal life! It's perfectly natural for a mother to do so!" I stood up angrily, attracting stares from the staff and other customers.
Sally flinched and looked at her lap. "I know...but still!" She glared at me slightly. "I put her in danger because of my selfishness! Now monsters will be swarming her because of Tia being a daughter of a Big Three!" She hissed, for once abandoning her patient personality.
"Mummy..." Tia spoke quietly. "It's not your fault..." Tia bit her lip and Rachel grabbed her hand in support. "You loved daddy and he loved you. It was only natural that I was the outcome–" Wow. That's a big word for Tia. "–so don't blame yourself."
Sally sighed, instantly deflating, and rubbed her temple. "Okay." She breathed in and repeated. "Okay." Tia, Rachel and I smiled. I was glad that was over with.
"Oh, and by the way I'm also a demigod. But it turns out I'm the daughter of three gods." I added as an afterthought. Sally blinked. "What?"
"Thanatos, the God of Death, and Hestia, the Goddess of the Hearth, got stuck in two mortal bodies, but mum's mortal body was infertile, so her friend Iris, the Goddess of the Rainbows, gave her half her womb. And thus, I was born." I explained blandly.
Sally stared in shock. "This is...gonna be a problem." Now that's the understatement of the year. Scratch that – it would be a miracle if I survived till the end of the year.
Rachel finally spoke. "So we're gonna have to do some monster studying huh?"
"Of course." Tia and I deadpanned in unison.
Sally laughed.
And poor, mortal Rachel just despaired about her future.
Yay! Iris and Luna made an appearance. Who expected Luna's godly parents being those two?
