Control: A Percy Jackson and Harry Potter Crossover

C h a p t e r 2

Nico's POV

I was sitting next to a tree somewhere in Redondo Beach. All I knew was that it was a suburban area in Los Angelos. I was previously in the Underworld when accidentally  overheard a conversation that my father had with Persephone about some kid. I couldn't hear very much because Cerberus had now found his time to be annoying but, I managed to get a few words. It was about some kid that had something to do with Hecate, a castle and a school. From the way he was referring to the kid he seemed like he was around my age. "Step-Mother" didn't look quite interested but, my dad seemed kinda bothered by it. He kept turning his head around because he was worried someone was listening. She asked him why he was so worried and when he replied I was flabbergasted. He was worried that I would hear them and go blab to the whole camp. I don't understand that. What is it about this kid that they need to keep a secret? I wasn't sure. Then, Father said that this kid defeated someone called the "Dark Lord" and now Jason and I would have to do that. That made no sense but okay....My head was starting to haze and get fuzzy. Everything went back into focus but, this time I was in total darkness. My eyes were closed and I was laying down. It wasn't the forest floor, thats for sure. I couldn't hear any sword clashing which struck me a little odd. Then, I heard a murmur and a glass bottle tinkling. I was in the Infirmary and some Hermes guy was giving a daughter of Ponos (Pain) some medicine. Ugh...I heard about this kid a few days ago and I keep recalling this memory in the midst of my dreams. I got up from the bed and walked out. I saw Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Calypso, Grover, and Rachel sitting together. When I saw them my face lit up and I caught Percy's eye. His face seemed weary and tired which was weird. Last time Percy acted like that was when Rachel- oh.

Percy's POV

I moved Nico to a safe place to make sure he doesn't get trampled. Me and Epithia finished off the rest of the opposing team. Eventually, we won the game. Can't wait to rub it in Clarisse's face. Chiron's conch horn was heard in the distance so, me and Epitihia brought Nico back to camp. We left him in the Infirmary and went outside to relax. Jason was having a conversation with Rachel and Piper. As soon as Rachel saw my face she stopped talking. She doubled over and spoke in a voice that was clearly not her own. She was ready to recite a prophecy. I ran over to her and she said:

The Seven, a trio of half-bloods, and a satyr must unite 

In order to fight, the biggest of fights

The children of the big three must take care

Because, for them danger lurks everywhere

They will travel to the land of magic

The only way to win is to ease the panic

To fight against the Dark Lord and the Titan of Time

They must hurry now for evil is at its prime

Darkness settles as earth falls

A half-blood is destined to lose it all

*Still Percy's POV*

A new prophecy. Since the first line included "The Seven" it included me. Hadn't I had enough? The Fates absolutely hate me. I watched as Rachel recovered from her episode and she looked at me worried. Jason, Piper, and I all had weary looks on our face. We called the rest of the seven, Grover, and Chiron to discuss the prophecy. Calypso came too out of mere interest. We were getting ready to discuss the new thing that would make our lives miserable, and Nico came out of the Infirmary. I caught his eye and I think he understood what was going on. 

*Nobody's POV*

Nico walked over to the group and sat down. He then asked for someone to tell him the prophecy. Jason mumbled it to him and it put Nico in deep thought. Chiron then said that they would go over the lines. The first line meant that the seven, which included Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, and Leo would participate. The other three Half-Bloods would most likely be Nico, Thalia, and Epitihia. The satyr would be Grover. Thalia was called from the Hunters and she arrived her voice all tired and said "Just when things got peaceful." She sat down and they begun to go over the rest. The second line obviously meant a war. The third line spoke of Percy, Nico, and Thalia. It also could mean Jason and Hazel. The fourth line meant that the they would be the most in danger. The fifth line meant that they would go somewhere that had magic. Annabeth pointed at that since magic was Hecate's domain it could be something to do with her. The sixth line told them that they had to keep calm and avoid panicking. The seventh line worried them. They would have to battle Kronos once more and they would have to battle someone called "The Dark Lord." This line irked Nico. But, when pressed, he denied it. The eight line told them that the evil at hand was very strong. The ninth line was confusing. Nobody really had much idea other then it having something to do with Gaea. The tenth line was bothersome. Death. A half-blood would die. Of course all these assumptions were made by the group and could be wrong. The people who were to go on the quest where to gear up, pack, and leave in three days time. The half-bloods each went to their cabins, their happy moods from the win at Capture the Flag gone. Each were worried, but one, was more worried than the rest. Nico DiAngelo, son of Hades knew something, knew that something dangerous was to come. He would keep his mouth shut. He wouldn't "blab to the whole camp." He would keep the information in, close to his heart, which could either benefit in the long run, or completely obliterate the entire existence of the Olympians.

"Persephone.. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you? My son and Zeus' will have to travel into wand magic hitherto never traveled. They might get lost in the space time continuum. This might mean our downfall."

"I know. I know. I just hope those two demigods know what they're doing."

"As much as my brother Zeus is a deceitful and lying cheat, his son Jason is the opposite. Nico... That kid is difficult. I fear that he might feel for Lord Voldemort, you know, both boys have terrible pasts. They have both lost someone very important to them. Nico, lost Bianca and Voldemort, lost his sister: Charlotte. I worry so much that no other thoughts stay long in my mind.  I am worried. Worried that my son might bring our downfall. My downfall. His friend's downfall. His own...." 

And where was Nico DiAngelo when his father was doubting his allegiance. He was shadow traveling to Camp Half-Blood with a confused look on his face. The boy was pondering why his father didn't trust him enough to know about some boy. But, he didn't know his father believed he would betray everybody that cared for him. The people that helped him, showed him the world, watched him grow up. Nico DiAngelo had missed the worst of the conversation. And for that, the Fates were forever grateful.
