Demigod Teachers

A Few days Later

Harry was silently scribbling down the potion notes that Professor Snape had written down on the blackboard for the class. He couldn't wait to get his new glasses from Dr Solace when he saw him at the weekend, it seemed since he got his eyes tested his eyesight fifth his dad's glasses had been getting worse.

Draco had offered to let him use some of his contacts but as it turned out Harry's eyes were loads worse than the blond haired slytherin's. He looked over to Hermione first and noticed her furiously scribbling down all the notes much to Daphne's amusement who had been moved next to her after her and Pansy got into a fight about Tracey.

Speaking of Tracey she was already making the potion that they were writing the instructions down for. He had an amazing girlfriend and she was great at potions! Life couldn't be better. Almost knowing that he was staring at her, Tracey turned her head and smiled at him before returning to her potion.

A Cough from Professor Snape snapped him out of his thoughts as the potions master said "Mr Potter, please return to reality, I understand that your glasses prescriptions from Dr Solace haven't come through yet but you still need to do as much work as possible to pass your OWLS"

The gears in Harry's mind came to a complete halt, Was Snape being non-hostile to him? Did he actually say please?. He just nodded slowly before returning to his work. "Of course sir, sorry sir."

At the other side of the room, Tracey gigged under her breath as Harry and Professor Snape had their first civil conversation…probably ever. Tracey knew that Professor Snape was trying to see past his hatred of James Potter, on her big brother's suggestion. He had been trying to do so for the past few weeks but he had been struggling so to see him actually use his manners was nice.

Turning back to her potion again she added some of the Nether Pickles that Professor Snape had grabbed from from the underworld. She began to stir again as Draco asked her "How do you get so far ahead?"

She chuckled as she swirled the liquid inside the cauldron using her finger hidden from views, using her abilities as the Daughter of Neptune. "Because my dear Draco, I want to go into potion making when I'm older and I've studied all the notes we need about a month in advance."

Draco huffed as he rubbed his tired eyes at her answer. He knew he was slow in class, he had dyslexia for god's sake" But to see one of his friends speed onwards did hurt even though the rest of the class was in the exact same position as him. Before he could fall anymore into the rabbit hole of negative thoughts the school bell rang loudly.

As he was packing his potions journal into his sack, he overheard his godfather say to Harry, "Mr Potter…could you please stay behind for 10 minutes."

Draco hoped that Severus wouldn't be too harsh on Harry for not focusing…oh well. Making his way over to Hermione, Daphne and Neville the three of them left the class hoping to get to lunch before the big rush.

Snape gulped as he stared at James….no not James Potter; Harry. The son of James & Lily and most importantly his own man. Out of the corner of his eyes he could see Miss Davies Wissiteling away as she finished up her potion, pretending to not listen into the upcoming conversation.

The young man before him stared up at him with the Emerald green eyes that matched his mothers and he couldn't help but curse Perseus' name that he had actually convinced him to do this.

He sat down across from the young man as he was given a confused look back, Harry asked him "Professor Snape, sir….Why are you keeping me back."

Severus rubbed his forehead and said "A COuple reasons, first of all I have your second batch of medication from Dr Solace, he also wanted me to tell you that your new glasses and contacts will arrive on Friday, their was a bit of a hold up on the order coming through because of your…other situation."

Harry nodded understanding what his professor was talking about and accepted the potions from the man, placing them into his sack.

Snape then sighed, dragging the skin on his face down and taking one final deep breath. "I'm sorry."'

Snapping his head back in shock, Harry replied "What?!"

Severus could feel his eyes blur and he swore he saw Lily in Harry's place for a second. After a couple of moments he finally spoke back up "I'm sorry for how I've treated you for the past 5 years, I've been cruel to all Gryffindor's since I became a teacher but I've been especially cruel to you."

Nodding slowly, Harry absorbed what he was saying and responded "You have been, but why now?!"

Snape brought his head bashing down against the table, this was going to be harder than he thought it was going to be "BEcause, a wise man we both know told me that I need look past the past, I need to look beyond your appearance and stop holding my hatred against your father, against you."

He didn't stop. "I know an apology won't be enough to make up for my years of abuse against you but I hope going forward we can try to be civil. Your Mother loved potions and I think she would be ashamed of how I have taught you." Harry just listened to him worrying the older potions master.

Suddenly a "Ok, but I don't forgive you not yet. But I can try to be civil."

Severus' heart was plumbing quickly and all he was able to say was "I'm glad to hear that, Right you're dismissed, Harry."

Harry nodded and started to make his way towards the door when he was interrupted "Actually, I think I have one of your mum's old potion books at home, if you want to have a look through it I could look it out."

His eyes widened before a small smile graced his face, Tracey joining him by the door, "I would like that very much sir." before the two fo them left to grab their own lunch.

As they walked Tracey wrapped an arm around Harry's own arm and said "That went better than expected."

Turning to face his girlfriend he asked her "You were involved in this?" she started to Whistle, "Maybe."

Severus smiled slowly, he had actually spoken to Harry normally and not as if he was James Jr. It felt good. Although he could do with a small drink before his next class.

Going over to his drinks cabinet, he grabbed a small shot glass and started to get the Whiskey out of the cabinet when the lights in the room flickered and the temperature in the entire dungeon dropped instantly. Severus groaned but continued to grab his drink "How can I help you uncle."

Out the corner of the room, footsteps could be heard and a soft voice said "I need your help Severus."

Turning around to face the owner of the voice, drink in hand, Severus was greeted by his 'Uncle' Nico Di Angelo; "I know you won't have come through the shadows without a good reason."

Taking a sip of the WHiskey he awaited the man's response, "The two of us need to find Tom RIddle's mother in the underworld"

Widening his eyes, Severus downed his drink and poured himself another while also grabbing another glass for his uncle "Maybe have a drink why you tell me why."

Jackson-Blofis Apartment - New York, United States of America (5 Hours Later)

"Annabeth, Percy, come in, come in." Paul welcomed his step-son and Daughter-in-law into his apartment as Sally hummed away in the kitchen making lunch for himself, Estella and herself.

Sally turned her head for ha;f a second and a warm smile appeared on her face "PErcy, Annabeth! We weren't expecting you, Have you eaten?!"

Percy made his way straight to her and gave her a massive hug "Hi Mom, sorry about just popping around without warning you but me and annabeth have something to tell you guys. Also we haven't eaten"

The Older woman looked at the two of them curiously but replied "let me quickly make you two something. But first come here Annabeth and give me a hug."

Annbeth finished hugging Paul and practically charged towards Sally while Percy made his way to Paul to give his step-father a hug. Estella managed to pull her face away from the tv show that she was watching as she yelled excitedly- "PERCY!" With the 8 year old standing up and running over to her brother, colliding with his leg and hugging him tightly.

Percy put a hand on her back and said "Hey baby-sis, have you been behaving for mom and dad" She nodded "I've even been behaving in school this term"

Removing his hand he ruffled her mouse brown hair "That's my sis." The Three of them were joined by Annabeth and they sat down in the Living room, Paul and Estella grilling Percy and Annabeth over what Hogwarts and the magical world was like.

Before long Sally came over with several blue sandwiches and settled down right next to her husband, taking a bite into her sandwich "So what is it that made you two come over unexpectedly? Not that I mind of course but it's very unlike the two of you not to say."

Two 26 year olds looked between each other, their hands interlocking as they silently had a conversation before Annabeth finally took a deep breath "Sally, Paul…..I hope your ready to become Grandparents….because we're pregnant"

Paul's eyes widened before he fainted making Percy and Sally both laugh, but Sally launched herself forwards and brought both Annabeth and Percy into a hug "Oh Congratulations you two."

Percy started to go red as his mom cut the air off from his lung "Mom….we need to breathe."

The older woman laughed as she let them go and woke up Paul before turning back to the two of them, "So tell us everything you know so far?!"

A/N so…..sorry about the long wait, been busy with College recently and will be for the next few months so don't expect many updates if any. But I do hope you enjoyed this chapter.
