Divine Darkness
Darkness 1: Daughter of the Smith and the Lover
4 Privet Drive Little Whinging, Surrey, England 1981 1 Hour Post Midnight
Selene Lilith Potter, lay in a bassinet on the doorstep of Number 4 Privet Drive, in her hand she clutched a letter to her aunt and uncle whose house this is. In one world she may of lived here and had either a blessed existence or one of horror and torment, her infantile magic however attempted to pierce the veil of the future and in doing so attracted the attention of the Three Fates to her.
Three Ancient Goddesses whose eternal job was to watch over the looms of fate and the strings of mortality and immortality, when they saw that almost all of the futures in which young Selene stayed at Number 4 Privet drive lead to darkness or pain, they intervened. They wanted her not to support Dumbledore and his Machinations which were growing evermore darker, instead they wanted her to forgive her parents murderer and stand by him.
They searched every fate and crossed billions of strings until they found the string of Hermione Granger or by her real name Faye Belladonna Riddle, they bond the two girls together with a soul-bond and then worked on the next problem, finding a household in which she would grow strong enough to fulfill her duties. Eventually they found one, it was not a normal household nor was their marriage very good, but the fates decided to place Selene with the Godly couple of Hephaestus and Aphrodite.
Olympus, Hephaestus' and Aphrodite's Palace. Several minutes later.
Hephaestus had tried the impossible earlier this evening, he'd tried to have a rational conversation with his wife. He was now in a argument with her over some small petty thing that didn't matter.
Aphrodite had almost levitated off her couch with joy when Hephaestus had tried talking with her, despite what mythology and the rest of the Gods thought she did love him. The only problem was she was terrified of giving her heart to him and finding out he hated her, she had lived for millennia afraid of losing him. For a terrible marriage was better in her mind then none at all, she would give anything for a chance to tell him how she felt, but every time she tried she failed and Hephaestus thought she was taunting him. She was terrified because their argument which had started over her accidently knocking over one of his toys had escalated to the point where he might divorce her, and the thought made her stomach clench and her throat go dry. Just as the argument was about to reach a point of no return after which Aphrodite might never get her heart's desire a bassinet with a baby inside appears next to them on the couch.
Zeus and Hera who had been about to interfere with the argument suddenly heard the room go quiet and rushed in to see Aphrodite holding a baby and Hephaestus starring at her.
Hephaestus was shocked when the baby arrived and stopped his argument immediately, as he saw a side of Aphrodite that he had never seen before, he watches a she gently takes the baby out of the bassinet and only vaguely notices his mother and father rushing in. He had seen Aphrodite's look when she picked up the baby, for one intense moment she had looked at him with loneliness and fear in her eyes and he realized something. His wife was never the problem with their marriage, he was. Not once in all the years they had been married had he ever shown any sign he had loved her even though he had with all his heart. He almost laughed at the irony as the entire situation finally made sense to him.
Aphrodite watches as Hephaestus' eyes fill with admiration, love and fear, she realizes in the centre of her being the truth.
They both loved each other with all their hearts, but they had been terrified of the same thing from the other.
Rejection.
Hera's eyes widen at both the scene before them, Hephaestus and Aphrodite staring at each other with longing and hope in their eyes, buts also her powers could sense the Marital bond between them growing and strengthening. Hera smiles and puts her hand on her husband's shoulder to stop him from interfering in this moment.
Zeus looks down at his wife and notices the looks she gives him, a look begging him to allow the child to stay and to not interrupt this moment. Without a sound Zeus nods and Hera's face fills with happiness, Zeus then stops and thinks about some of his actions over the past millennia. He mentally tells Hera 'Come back to our palace, not only should we let them be... but I have some things to discuss with you'
In the security of their palace Zeus does something he has never done in all his life, it takes him nearly ten minutes to recount everything he's done to hurt her intentionally or unintentionally, he admits everything to Hera and begs her forgiveness. Hera in turn is shocked by this but grants forgiveness on one condition, she knows her husband can't help himself and thus simply asks that he gets her approval beforehand. Zeus thanks her for such a magnanimous offer. They are about to retire when Hephaestus and Aphrodite come in to ask them something.
Ten Minute Earlier
It took Zeus and Hera leaving for Aphrodite and Hephaestus to break out of their reverie and get down to business.
Hephaestus asks the most reasonable questions "Aphrodite, what gender is the little tyke, and does it have any information with it?"
Aphrodite immediately checks and says "She's a girl, and there's two letters here, one in English for someone call Petunia and another in Ancient Greek for us"
Hephaestus takes the letter and reads out loud so Aphrodite can hear.
"To Hephaestus God of Smiths and Aphrodite God of love.
The child now with you is called Selene Lilith Potter, She is a legacy of Hecate with the power to use magic via a Foci called a wand. She is also known as 'The Girl-Who-Lived' for surviving a unstoppable killing curse called "Avada Kedavra" due to her mother's selfless sacrifice invoking the ancient magics of Lady Chaos herself. The results of this survival was threefold, first she now has a lightning bolt scar on her forehead that will never fade, second the spell rebounded destroying the mortal incarnation of her would-be murderer, Lord Voldemort or Tom Marvolo Riddle which is his real name. Finally it ripped a fragment of Voldemort's soul out and placed it in Selene's soul making her a Horcrux, a magical tool to survive after death at the cost of one's soul and humanity.
To the Wizarding world she is a legend, a champion of the light who has since fallen to darkness, Albus Dumbledore would have her placed with monstrous relatives who would torture her and leave her unable to change the world to the betterment of all, Ironically Voldemort is in fact the true champion of light now and will not seek out Selene unless provoked, due to his discovery of Dumbledore's lies that lead to the unfortunate deaths of James and Lily Potter whose daughter is now with you.
Selene's destiny is to change the world, whether for good or evil is up to her, she'll be a force of change. The only one who will join her on this quest will be her soul-mate, whom she'll meet in time. Do Not worry Aphrodite, they will love each other for all eternity with the fierceness of the sun.
We Pray that you will take this child in and raise her as your own.
Fate
Aphrodite and Hephaestus stand there for a moment trying to figure out what just happened when Aphrodite turns to Hephaestus and says "I'm sorry Hephaestus, From the very beginning I have been in love with you, but I was so scared that all you'd see is a shallow woman and that you wouldn't want me" Aphrodite breaks off with tears running down her face. Before she can say anything more Hephaestus engulfs her in a hug.
"I'm sorry as well, I was afraid that all you'd see off me is my features and that you'd not see who I truly was. If only I'd been braver, this wouldn't have happened. We might have had a good marriage, at least now we can fix our mistakes" Hephaestus whispers in her ear.
Aphrodite nods, stands and says "Yes we have, I'm not going to let it go. Nor will I let this one go, I'm going to Lord Zeus and Lady Hera to ask permission for a blood adoption" He voice grows less confident "D-do you want to join me?"
Hephaestus jumps up and kisses Aphrodite on the forehead with the words "Of course" before they both rush out of the room to Zeus and Hera's Palace.
Zeus and Hera's Palace
"You want to adopt her?" Zeus asks after they tell him of their request and the letter
Before either Hephaestus or Aphrodite can say anything Hera says "Of course they do otherwise they wouldn't ask Zeus. I say they should but on two conditions" Both Zeus and the Couple look at Hera and she says "Not only do I want Zeus and I to become her adoptive grandparents. But in order to prevent cries of Favoritism, she'll be raised by all the gods together, but Hephaestus and Aphrodite will be the main pair, is that acceptable Zeus?" The emphasis on his last name promises Zeus that he'll be sleeping on the couch if he doesn't agree. Zeus immediately agrees.
They head over to Hestia's palace as Hestia is the only Goddess who can perform Blood Adoptions due to her being the Goddess of the Hearth and Family. Hera could do an adoption but she would have to be the mother not Aphrodite and from the looks of her daughter-in-law's face it would be criminal to take Selene away from her.
Hestia having already sensed what was going was not only ready for their arrival but had commanded all the Olympians and Minor Gods to be present, she had also asked Hades and Persephone to be here for this momentous occasion.
While most of the gods were okay with the situation, Ares had reservations on it. He was worried he'd lose his girlfriend over it, what's worse is the moment she entered the room he knew that nothing he did would change the future. Aphrodite was no longer his and never would be again, Ares could have raised a fuss, instead he just sighed and acknowledge his defeat to Hephaestus.
In the centre of the room is a raised alter with ancient markings on it. When Selene was brought up to the Alter the markings for Hecate glowed showing a relationship between them, when she enquired Hecate was told that Selene is a descendant from her and is a witch. Hecate's only request after that was "May I join the ceremony?" Zeus, Hera, Hephaestus and Aphrodite all agree having not seen a problem with her joining.
Hestia then speaks the ancient words of magic that only the Titan born know and can speak, Hestia then took Hephaestus' Left Hand and Aphrodite's Right Hand and used a small dagger to cut the back of their hands, the Golden Ichor fell from their wounds onto Selene's forehead and with their combined Ichor she made the ancient sigils for Blood and Adoption. Hestia then took Zeus and Hera's hands, Left and Right respectively and held them over Selene's chest, she cut them and used their spilled Ichor to right Blood and Adoption again. She finally took Hecate's right hand cut it over Selene's abdomen and used it to write the Sigils for Blood, Adoption and Aunt. Hestia then uses the ancient language of magic once more to say "Bind these five to this child, let them be Parents, Grandparents and a Aunt to this child. Let their powers and blessings flow into this child and make her theirs for all eternity" A blinding flash of light occurs and the gods shield themselves from it. when they lower their arms they are amazed to see the aura of power Selene is emanating with such force to overwhelm minor gods. Though only young her hair has grown to her shoulders and is a vibrant red like her mother's. Her eyes are a piercing Emerald green that almost matches Poseidon's eyes. Aphrodite stare lovingly into her eyes, knowing that her young daughter will one day be one of the most beautiful women alive. The adoption also cleansed the tracking and binding magics Dumbledore placed on Selene to keep her from attaining her true power.
Darkness 2: Training and Diagon Alley
Selene's early life soon came to be one of the most comical things that ever graced Olympus, the sight of the beautiful and reserved Aphrodite carrying a baby became commonplace, as she grew older Selene's beauty became apparent. Her features became almost identical to her birth mother's but minor imperfections here and there were cleaned away by her adoption to Aphrodite, Her body remained lithe as she grew older but she had visible muscles even at a young age due to Hephaestus adopting her.
When she turned four Athena grew interested in her and started teaching her, to the goddesses surprise and amazement Selene was a quick study with a fast and precise mind. Soon after Athena started teaching her Selene released a massive burst of magic and started doing accidental magic, at that point Hecate started teaching her. Selene quickly flew through both magic and mortal subjects, she became one of the few Mortals or Demigods not born of Athena who could keep up with Athena and impress her with her ingenuity and photographic memory.
At the age of five, Selene could cast dozens of spells without the use of a wand, due to her aunts training. At this point Hephaestus and Ares started training her in Forging and Fighting respectively, even though her arrival signaled the end of his relationship with Aphrodite, Ares came to love Selene like his own children or even better. She quickly became a deadly fighter who would use anything and everything to survive in a fight, her skills with any sort of melee weapon short of hunting knives was amazing. In the forges she learned many skills around creating and improving weapons and armor, Hephaestus was tempted at several points to send her to his sons so they could learn from her.
After turning six, Selene's training increased with Apollo teaching her music and archery and Artemis teaching her the skills of a Hunter. Apollo was quick to hook Selene on Japan and get her interested in their culture, as a result Selene started wearing Kimonos as her choice of clothing. Hecate would laugh under her breath at this as she knew it was Selene's natural desire to wear wizard robes breaking through and making her wear the closest available type of clothing which just happened to be Kimonos. Artemis, Athena, Hera and Aphrodite all had different reactions to this however. Artemis was quick to point out to disadvantages Kimonos would cause in a fight and was awestruck to watch a Kimono wearing Selene outpace one of her hunters almost effortlessly without a single hair out of place or her clothing ruffled. Athena nodded in admiration as she quickly saw that the outfit was both beautiful and practical at the same time. Hera nodded at the aura of respectability and maturity the clothing exuded, she knew Selene was young but well on her way to becoming a young woman to be proud off. Aphrodite was overjoyed to see her daughter having a fashion sense that was not only practical but also beautiful and she started wearing Kimonos as well.
When she was seven, Selene started to learn leadership from Zeus and statesmanship and Noble Manners from Hera, she also learned cooking form Hestia. Her meals even though they were made from Mortal foods were happily consumed by the Gods and whenever there was a feast or solstice, Selene was the one to cook the food. Selene's leadership abilities were just as impressive and if Zeus hadn't mellowed out as much as he has he would of thought her a threat to his rule, instead he was just proud of his Granddaughter's ability to rule. Hera found that Selene was a very well mannered girl and by the second month of training not only could she run a business or household perfectly but she could also, plan and put into action a banquet for fifty people at less than a hours notice. Hestia found Selene to be a quick learner like all her other teachers did, Selene quickly went from the basic cooking to elaborate and artful dishes that made even Hestia stop and gape at them.
When she turned Eight, Selene started learning about Automatons from Hephaestus and the principles behind becoming an Animagi from Hecate. Selene quickly filled her father's workshop with automatons both mechanical and magical in nature, she quickly set to creating pocket automatons for a variety of tasks. From Hecate she quickly learned the Animagi principles and the how to of the transformation, when she finally went through with it she shocked all of Olympus, she turned into a Phoenix and not just any Phoenix but a new breed with shining silver and gold wings and Emerald eyes, as a Phoenix she had five songs, 1 to promote healing for those of the Light, 1 to give hope to those of the Light, 1 to sense magic from all sources and show its nature, 1 to cause pain to those of the Dark and the last song which slays those with hearts filled with Darkness, becoming a Phoenix Animagi had several effects on her body, first her hair now has feathers interwoven in it that can only be seen if one carefully observes her hair, her tears are now silver and can heal just like a phoenix's can, Her voice gains a melodic quality to it that makes even the Gods stops with wonder when she sings, Apollo has been known to break down crying at the sound of her singing due to its vastly superior quality to his own.
Nothing truly major happened in her ninth year, Selene just kept learning from her tutors, Lady Demeter, Lord Poseidon or Dionysus didn't have anything to teach her unfortunately, Hades on the other hand said that she was too young and when she turned fifteen he'd start teaching her to manipulate the Underworld with his blessing. So Selene's education was presided over by Ares, Apollo, Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hephaestus Hera, Hestia and Zeus. While Selene's personality was for the most part respectful, she had acquired a tendency to use sarcasm whenever something idiotic was said around her, over three-quarters of her talks with Ares was pure Sarcasm. On a completely unrelated note Selene learned how to curse so well it would make sailors blush, in six different languages (English, Greek, Latin, French, German and Mandarin(Chinese)) While Athena was not happy about her cursing, she was surprised and delighted to learn that she could speak several languages.
It was her Tenth year that brought the most interesting changes about, Hecate took Selene on a trip to Diagon Alley. Once there Selene took out her special box, It had Two Silver Phoenix Feathers (Painlessly taken with Hecate's Help), Two strands of Thestral Hair from the Original Thestral, Two strands of Banshee Hair provided by Melinoe daughter of Hades and Last but not least two Twenty Inch planks of Olympian wood from the eldest Tree on Olympus. Selene was here to have her wand created, she walks into a store called Ollivander's Wand Shop, she quickly met a nice old man named (Here's a shocker) Ollivander. He was overjoyed to see a customer especially one that wants a custom wand, when she showed him the materials he stared at Selene for several minutes wondering where on Earth the girl got such priceless ingredients. He quickly and efficiently created two 18 Inches wands from the materials, Normally the shorter the wand the better the Wizard or Witches ability to focus magic, however with two or more cores (To a maximum of six) a longer wand is required and 18 Inches is the longest wand type ever known, however staves (Plural of Staff) have been known to be up to six feet in length and have up to eight cores. The wand naturally bonds with Selene, when asked about the other wand Selene gave specific instructions "Whoever manages to bond with the other wand may have it for free Mister Ollivander, you see I'm an Animagus and my Animagi form is a Silver and Gold Phoenix, one day I decided to have two of my feathers taken and stored to one day create my wand and one other for whoever is worthy of wielding it, so whoever picks up the second wand is welcome to it." Ollivander watches as Selene and Hecate walk out the door and has to hold a hand to his racing heart, when Selene spoke it felt as if all of creation would rise up, answer her questions and obey her commands. Ollivander smiles at the thought and wonders what will happen when Selene and Dumbledore meet.

Selene was quite surprised to receive the letter in Olympus and gave the barn owl who delivered it a treat, Zeus however spent several days trying to figure out how the owl had got to Olympus, coincidently during this time Athena was almost impossible to find.
Selene then takes another trip to Diagon Alley with her Aunt Hecate. As before Selene is somewhat overwhelmed by the appearance of Diagon Alley, she spends several seconds looking at some structures that blatantly defy physics and the laws of nature, then she shrugs and keeps walking, in her mind the fact that she lives in a palace that floats several hundred feet above Manhattan and yet still seems to get power and water (Thank you Hephaestus) without any possible means of this happening leaves her a little more accepting of impossible architecture, she once joked to Athena that you'd need a special diploma in Godly architecture to design buildings on Olympus, Athena laughed and nervously hid a diploma that was hanging on her wall.
After she had gone through the Alley and bought all her supplies, Selene had purchased a Snow Owl she named Hedwig and was walking past Ollivander's when she sees a girl with brown wavy hair go inside, while that girl is inside she sneaks in and stands in the background. The girl is with an older man with blonde hair, he looks a little like this blonde boy she met in the Robe shop where she bought her school robes. She watches as the girl tries hundreds of wands, Selene perks up when she notices the sister wand to her own being given to the girl. Suddenly the shop is full of magic as the wand accepts her.
Before Ollivander can say anything Selene says
"Well, That was interesting"
Darkness 3: Titles and Probation.
The Blonde man and the young girl, whirl around to look at her. The blonde was as thought nearly identical to the boy from the robe shop 'So this must be Draco's Father' the girl a beautiful brunette with striking brown eyes which hold a look of confusion stare at Selene. The blonde man recovers first and says "Yes it was, whom may I ask are you?" The man's voice is elegant and cultured with a slight French accent.
Selene smiles and does a curtsy slightly lifting the bottom of her Kimono which has a beautiful images of a Moonlit Forest with Large Silver Wolves on it. (Selene has a Kimono for every God and Goddess Major or Minor except for Hercules) before answering "Selene Lilith Potter, Lord Malfoy I believe you are, and your little friend here is?"
Lucius Malfoy quickly smiles at his friends daughter and says "My friend as you called her is Miss Hermione Granger and I am Lucius Malfoy as you guessed, are you here alone Lady Potter?"
Selene stares at Lucius in bewilderment before asking "Lady? Why did you call me a Lady?"
Lucius looks surprised before he says "Because you are the heir to the Potter Family, Which is a Dukedom in the Wizarding world, where as I am only a Baron. Since you appear to be buying supplies for Hogwarts it must mean that you have reached the age of eleven, with no other family living you automatically assumed your full heritage and rank, I would suggest you visit Gringotts and have your Inheritance test done so you can receive your Family Signet Ring which will mark you as a Adult in the Wizarding world and allow you to perform magic at home, I assume you are here to get your wand"
Selene shakes her head and says "No I am not, I already have it. I thank you for the help and I will go to Gringotts and have the test run, No I simply stopped here due to simple curiosity. Imagine my surprise when I saw a young girl my age pick up the Sister Wand to my own" Lucius' eyebrows shoot up and his mouth drops open in surprise.
He then stutters out "Y-y-your w-wands s-sister w-wand, oh my this is big, very big"
Hermione who up until this point had been silent asks "What's so important Uncle Lucius?"
Lucius calms down a little and says "Every wand in existence has a 'Sibling' wand, the gender of which is chosen by the gender of whichever wand's wielder first picks their wand out, The reason I am so surprised is that it is exceedingly rare for both wands owners to be the same age, in fact it is most common for the first's wielder to die of old age before the second's appears, if both wielders are alive and the same age it is seen in the eyes of magic as a bond identical to marriage, You two are now betrothed to wed" Hermione's face pales as she works through the realities of this, Selene just sighs.
Selene then curses in Ancient Greek "Damn you Fates I'll get you back one day, this is for the time I made your dresses turn to formal wear instead of the usual ones isn't it, Mother I know you're watching me, and so I say, Stop Laughing Zeus Damn it, I know your laughing" Lucius, Ollivander and Hermione all stare at her in amazement trying to figure out exactly what she said. Luckily for Selene none of them knew Ancient Greek.
Olympus at that time
Throughout the throne room was sounds of laughter as the Gods fought and failed to hold in their 'opinion' of their favorite Mortal/Demigoddess' predicament.
Diagon Alley, Ollivander's Wand Shop
Selene looks at the other three before she sighs and walks over to Hermione, she then pulls a necklace off of her neck and hands it to Hermione, It's a fairly dainty necklace with five symbols on it made of Silver, It has a Dove, A Anvil, A Lightning Bolt, A Peacock feather and a Torch. When Hermione looks up at Selene she sighs and says "It's something my adoptive parents gave me and told me to give to the one I intend to marry, since for the current moment we are betrothed it is yours to wear, in time you'll discover what the symbols mean. The only hint I give is look to Greek Mythology other than that it's up to you, now put it on it has protective magic on it that'll keep you safe"
Hermione puts the necklace on and the two men watching are amazed when she starts to glow and the smell of Ozone, Perfume, Coal, A Home and something simply magical appears. The little Icons glow before they return to being inert. Hermione then smiles and says "Thank you for this gift"
Selene smiles, "You're welcome, also the wands on me you don't have to pay" Hermione gasps and looks at Ollivander who nods in agreement with Selene's comment. As they walk out the store Selene asks "Now tell me. What do you know of Greek Mythology?" Selene was quite astounded to learn they knew almost nothing on Greek Mythology, she would have offered to give them some of her books but they were all in ancient Greek and she didn't know any translation spells, Lucius and Hermione soon say goodbye and head home.
Selene however heads for Gringotts to learn more of her inheritance, she walks up to the bank again and nods politely to the goblins, who only just barely resist throwing themselves to the ground in a bow to the Demigoddess/mortal. Selene walks over to the empty line that says 'Inheritance' the goblin teller looks up as she approaches "Greetings Goblin warrior, I have come to learn of my possible inheritance, would you please administer the test?" The goblin sniffs a little before staring in surprise and nodding.
"Of course Divine One, my name is Ripfang and I would be happy to help, please follow me" Ripfang opens a door next to his station and motions Selene to follow, she follows him through the corridors until she reaches a room labeled 'Inheritance Testing'.
They open the door to a small chamber with a marble altar in the middle, Ripfang shouts something in Gobbledygook to a goblin waiting in the room, the goblin hurries out "Please wait a moment Divine One, Terrorclaw is just getting the instruments for the test"
Selene raises an eyebrow "May I ask why you are calling me 'Divine One'"
Ripfang smiles "I call you divine one because you are a child of the Gods, in fact I've met demigods before and your scent is much stronger, almost like a goddesses' in fact. Be careful of gaining more power, you might find the cost more than you are willing to pay"
Selene smiles "A cost I am perfectly willing to pay, I was raised by the gods and am not very good at relating to ordinary mortals because of it. Several times I've given thought to joining the Hunt under Artemis, but something warns me that is a bad idea"
Ripfang just nods, Terror claw comes back in holding a length of parchment about six feet long and a silver knife. Ripfang takes the instruments and lies the Parchment on the Altar. Ripfang then turns to Selene "Pardon me, but in order to make the test work you must allow yourself to be cut and your blood to spill on the parchment. Do not worry, the knife is enchanted to heal your wounds afterwards"
Selene just nods and takes the knife, she leans her left hand over the parchment and slices her left palm. Red Blood and Golden Ichor falls on the parchment, and red and gold writing appears. The cut on her hand disappears almost immediately.
In the Red Writing is:
Selene Lilith Potter
Mother: Lillian Emily Potter (Nee Evans)
Father: James Charlus Potter

Special Rights or Titles: Chief Witch of the Wizengamot (Through Father's Bloodline, Unavailable until coming of Age)
Above this is a Family Tree going back eight Generations.
Selene turns to Ripfang and asks "When do I come of age?"
"Seventeen" is Ripfang's reply
Selene's eyes bulge out at some of what is written in her blood, she then turns to the Golden writing, which says:
Selene Lio̱méno (Molten) Ntérti (Longing or Passion)
Mother: Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.
Father: Hephaestus, God of the Forges.
Titles: Goddess of Fire (Sealed until coming of Age) Goddess of Blazing Passion (Sealed until coming of Age) Goddess of Magic (Sealed until coming of Age) Princess of Olympus, Heir to the Olympian Council.

Above this is a Divine family tree going all the way back to Lady Chaos.
In an amusing and never before seen reaction Selene, Ripfang and Terrorclaw faint from shock.
Olympus, Throne Room.
To say the gods were shocked would been an understatement, however before they could say anything Zeus spoke up "Well then, I'm quite happy that Selene is going to become a Goddess, is anyone opposed to this?" In amazing unison all of the gods shake their heads "Well then when she gets back we will start teaching Selene what she'll need to know to be a Goddess" The Gods all nod in agreement. Coincidently it starts to snow in the Fields of Punishment.
Gringotts
Selene eventually regains consciousness, Ripfang and Terrorclaw as well, she turns to them and says "While I don't mind my mortal titles being mentioned would you please keep the immortal titles silent for now?" The Goblins nod in agreement. "Now what must I do to gain my titles?"
Ripfang smiles, in a depression on the side of the altar Selene hadn't notice before were several rings, One with a Scarlet Griffin Rampant on a White Background on it, One with three ravens on a shield with crossed wands above them, One with a Golden Lion on a Scarlet background, One with a Silver Snake on an Emerald Green Background, the last with the emblem of Hogwarts on it. Selene put the Potter ring on her Right Index Finger and the Black on her Left Index Finger, the Gryffindor ring went on her right Middle finger, the Slytherin on her Right Ring finger and the Hogwarts Ring on her Left Middle Finger, the Rings resized themselves to fit and stay out of the way. Selene nods her head to Ripfang and makes her way out of Gringotts. After ducking into an alley she transforms herself into her Phoenix form and flashes to Olympus.
The next month sees Selene learning the particulars of becoming a Goddess from all of the gods, even Dionysus got involved (If only because he was told that his time at Camp Half-Blood would be over once Selene takes his place at camp for a Century, in order to pass her probation for becoming a Goddess)
