Granddaughter of Voldemort Book 2

Chapter 21: Atlantia

One thing about being a guest professor is that you don't have to grade any assignments which was so much better. Blaise and I could spend the free time outside of the classes with each other instead of stuck grading assignments or coming up with a lesson plan since we were practically doing the same lesson each class with slight variants depending on the knowledge level of the class. Eventually, though at the end of the week, we had to leave which saddened the students since they all enjoyed having potions like the luck potion or the love potion as rewards for doing the best potion but Blaise and I had to return to our shop at the end of the week. So we said goodbye but knew we would be back I believe in December right before Christmas break to do another guest lesson for them.

When we came back to the shop, we were surprised by the amount of orders in the box outside our shop where wizards and witches can drop off potions orders when the shop is closed and we are not at the shop. We had emptied the box and wrote the few orders in the box in the giant order book we have before we left for Hogwarts but a week later it was overflowing from the amount of orders in the box.

"Are we really that popular of a shop?" I smile shaking my head in disbelief as Blaise does a spell to have the orders be written in our book in chronological order from when they were placed in the box.

"I guess so." Blaise says returning the smile. I decide to unpack the potions we made during our breaks at Hogwarts and organize them into their respective orders as Blaise deals with the new orders coming in. I realized as I was placing the potions in the basket labeled with which person ordered them that we got all our previous orders done since I cross them off the book once all the potions were made which was a good thing since I thought I was staying up tonight to get some potions done but I guess not. However I figured I would start the overnight potions that we sell in the shop normally but as I was doing so, I hear someone come through our fireplace. It was closed to people unless they were friends or families, that was a wonderful spell Hecate gave us the last time Blaise and I visited so we didn't have to lock it completely like most wizards had to. I finished putting in the last ingredient nectar that was going to boil overnight before stepping out into the main part of the store. To my surprise, talking to Blaise was Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, what are you guys doing here?" I say happy walking over to them and giving them a hug.

"We wanted to see you because Harry and Ron were accepted into the Auror school and would not be back till May." Hermione explains hugging me.

"Oh my gods, I'm so excited for you two." I say giving them a hug, "When do you leave?"

"We leave in the morning." Ron says, "That's why we came by tonight to say goodbye."

"And I came along just because I wanted to say hi." Hermione said grinning.

"Well, we're glad you did." Blaise said. We end up chatting for most of the night not really wanting to say goodbye since we really haven't been separated for more than a few months since we all met four years ago so we didn't know how we were going to deal with not talking and seeing Harry and Ron for seven months. But we were going to manage and after the Golden Trio had left, I realized I hadn't seen Draco, Millicent, and Pansy outside of our Sunday dinners so I told Blaise that we were going to schedule a hangout with them which they agreed to do it next week since we shouldn't close the shop for a day after being closed for a week.

Thus, in the morning, we talked to them via iris messaging for a few minutes before opening so that we could plan a day to meet up. We decided that we would wait another couple of weeks since we didn't want to keep closing the shop so soon after a week of closing.

"Blaise," I call out to him a few days later after our first day of opening since Hogwarts. "Have my parents dropped off the supplies to make nectar or ambrosia? We are close to running out and we have a huge order from St. Mungo's Hospital that needs to be started."

"I haven't seen the order." Blaise calls back at me as he helps a customer. I sigh. My parents were not the most reliable people so I'm not surprised that I have to go get the supplies but I had hoped that for once they wouldn't make me head up to Olympus to go get the month's supplies. Well, I guess the last few times were because we had been there being that we were visiting but I sort of figured that they would remember to deliver it.

"I'll be back in fifteen minutes." I tell him before disappearing into the shadows. I was finally beginning to use my more powerful powers but I just couldn't do them that often since it would burn under my skin. However, I was just happy that I could use my own powers instead of relying on other people or using normal methods of doing things since that was just boring. 

Anyway, when I stepped out of the shadows, I was in the throne room and I was sort of surprised by the image in front of me. The throne room didn't have the regal look that it normally did but the tornado look that appears after a party. I saw glasses of what I was assuming was Dionysus's specialty wine that can get anybody drunk even the gods so I knew something happened that cause them to drink like that. I sigh before starting an Iris message so I could alert Blaise of the situation and let him know that I was going to be a little later than fifteen minutes. Once I did that, I turned back to the situation in front of me. Not knowing what else to do, I summoned my staff before slamming it into the ground sending a wave of power through the room to wake up my parents. It worked. They all shot up immediately before laying back down groaning.

"Atlantia." Zeus says spotting me as he rubbed his forehead, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I was coming to come pick up my supplies for the nectar and ambrosia when I found this scene in front of me. What happened that caused you guys to drink like this?" I asked gesturing to the scene in front of me, "The last time you guys drank like this was when all the demigods..." I trailed off when I realized something. "Who died? You guys only do group drinking when someone dies."

"Leo died in a car accident." Hephaestus explains, "Even at five years old he still was a hero somehow. He got his baby sister and unconscious mother out of the car but the car exploded before he could escaped. The irony of his death that he dies from fire when his previous life was just cruel." That shocked me since I had seen a few years ago that Leo would be able to meet Calypso later in his new life but I guess since I didn't check that it went down a different path.

"Did he try for another rebirth?" I ask wondering if I had time to go down to the underworld to talk to him.

"Yeah, I think he was born into a family in Portugal." Athena said, "This drinking started as a party to celebrate Leo's sacrifice which just turned into a spiral of bad memories." I shake my head sadly at my parents before deciding to leave them alone to deal with their recovery from their "party". I asked for my supplies which Apollo hands to me and I disappear back into the shadows returning to Blaise and the potion shop.

"So," Blaise begins when he spots me, "What was the party about?"

"You remember me talking about Leo? He was the son of Hephaestus that was part of the seven." I ask. 

"Yeah, I remember him. What happened?" He asks concerned.

"Leo died in his new life in a bad car accident but he ended up in Elysium after he saved his mother and baby sister. He just couldn't get out of the car fast enough before it exploded." I explain, "He rebirthed before I could go to visit him."

"Well, maybe he will end up in the Isle of the Blest quicker than we expected so you can visit him sooner." Blaise says as he takes the box of supplies from me and add them to the cauldron in front of us. I smile at that before turning my attention to the potions in front of me so Blaise could go back to the front of the shop but I did turn on my future power so I could take a look at Leo's life to make sure he got a good family and I'm happy to say, it looks like he will have a good life.
