Heroes of Olympus...At Hogwarts?!

Harry: I Think I Killed Nico

****************

NICO'S POV

That went well; I was surprised and refreshed after my ambrosia snack (mine's tasted the same as sweetened pomegranate seeds). Afterwards, Harry walked up to me and requested to speak in private.

"Look, with you summoning ghosts and all, I was wondering...could you summon my parents?" he questioned, not meeting my gaze.

I shoved my hands in my pockets. "Probably. Unless they chose to be reborn."

"Reborn?" He said.

"Their spirit is transferred to a new body, without memory of their past life. My biological sister, Bianca, did that, so I can't see her anymore..."

"Oh."

"I'll try Harry."

So I tried. And I tried and I tried, analyzing the spirits of the underworld. The process was complicated; it couldn't really be put into words. You just have this feeling while doing it. Finally, I heard a faint whisper.

Son. Harry Potter. Our son

"I found them," I announced triumphantly.

Harry perked up and his parents rose from the floor. They stood before him, looking proud.

"Found yourself a son of Hades, eh, son?" the man said.

"Dad?" His eyes watered.

"Haven't seen you since the night Moldy shorts died," he chuckled.

"You look so much like your father," the woman said, smiling sadly.

"Mum?"

They hugged (kind of. You can't REALLY hug a ghost--that's rather impossible).

"How do you know about Hades and demigods?" Harry asked when they separated.

"All witches and wizards find out once they die," Mrs. Potter explained. "All the muggles discover it, too. Oh, I met a very nice muggle, Marisa, here in the Underworld! We're best friends, you see, and your father gets jealous I spend more time with her than him. Ha!"

"Are...are you happy there?" Harry questioned tentatively.

Mrs. Potter tittered. "We are in Elysium! Of course we are happy. Although the only thing that could make it better is you, darling. And after you defeated You-Know-Who, it's guaranteed for you to be in the Elysium, too."

"What your mother is saying is, we can't wait 'til we see you, but don't die too soon," Mr. Potter revised. He tousled Harry's messy black hair, and they hugged once more.

"Nico said something about rebirth. Are you-"

"Not until we see you here, no."

"Hurry, Harry," I panted, straining. These spirits were of Elysium, and were strong. As much as they wanted to be here, their subconsciousness resisted.

"The boy is struggling, Harry. We love you. Goodbye, son." Mr. Potter said.

"I love you, Harry. I-" Mrs. Potter began, but I didn't catch the last part. She and Mr. Potter vanished.

Subsequently, I blacked out.

HAZEL'S POV

****************

After Harry took Nico to speak in private, I got a little nervous. And Nico coming out unconscious didn't help with my nerves.

"Nico!" Will and I exclaimed when Harry tried pulling him into the room. Will took him, and poked some ambrosia into his mouth.

Nico stirred, but didn't wake. We knew he needed sleep, however, Harry was freaking out.

"Is he okay? Did I kill him?" He ran his hand through his hair.

I brought him aside to explain. "Nico just did too much. He needs rest."

"I shouldn't have asked him to do that," Harry groaned.

"What did he do?"

"He-he summoned my parents. I kept them too long, and now-"

"He's fine!" I reassured. Harry was too panicky. "Like I said, Nico just needs rest. Summoning Elysium ghosts is a difficult feat. My brother is strong, though."

"Your... brother?"

"Yes. Pluto and Hades are basically the same god, although one is Roman whereas the other is Greek. Actually, he's my half-brother."

"That's crazy. How far are you guys apart?" Harry asked, intrigued.

"A few years, physically speaking," I replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, we both were born in the early 1900's. I died, but came back to life about a year ago. He was in a magical hotel that makes you think that time is moving slower. Technically, he's over 90. I'm still the same age as before."

"Wow..."

"Yeah. Leo had to introduce me to 'chicken nuggets'. It's still a strange thing to me. Strip a chicken's flesh, stuff it with bread crumbs, fry it, and eat that concoction? Weird."

"I still don't get how something so incredible was missing in your life," Leo yelled from the other room. He was doing his famous entertainment trick of juggling fireballs.

Jason walked in with the other three witches and wizards. He said, "We can take care of Nico. Why don't you four go and talk about what you've just learned amongst yourselves? I'm sure you have plenty to discuss."

They all nodded, and left.
