Adele Black: The Sequel (Percy Jackson/Harry Potter Crossover)

Family Was Promised

ADELE BLACK: THE SEQUEL

FAMILY WAS PROMISED

Harry was coming soon. I heard that Dumbledore would be bringing him over here to the Burrow.

I was excited and nervous at the same time. How was he doing? Was he okay with Sirius' sudden death? I sure as hell wasn't.

From what I've heard from eavesdropping on conversations, Dumbledore was going to pick him up.

Tonight was the night that Harry would be coming to the Burrow.

I sat down in the living room with Hermione, the two of us talking about books, when I heard the familiar screech of Hedwig. Hedwig was Harry's faithful snowy-white owl.

The owl flew straight over to me and landed on my arm.

"Owls really like you, don't they?" Hermione asked me.

I laughed and nodded, "Well, considering that my mother has an owl as a symbol, then yes."

"What about olives, do you like those?"

I made a disgusted face. "Ew, no."

"But isn't your mum the creator of olives?" Hermione pondered.

I nodded, "Yes, but I don't enjoy eating them. When I was eight, a prank was pulled on me. I was feed olives- I was told that they were cucumbers- and... I just don't like them, alright?"

We laughed.

Soon enough, Harry was here. Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Harry and I were in the kitchen.

Dumbledore was about to leave when he caught sight of me.

"Are you a Death Eater, Adele?" Dumbledore demanded.

I looked at him with my death stare.

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are," he accused me.

"I'm not one!" I yelled at the old man.

"Well you worked for Kronos-"

"Don't say his name! Names have power!" I screamed at him, rapidly loosing control of my anger.

"You worked for Kronos! You were a spy!"

"Yeah, a spy for Camp Halfblood! I told them what his plans were! I don't turn my back on my family!" I screamed.

"Your father's side of the family works for Lord Voldemort! So your with them! You don't turn your back on family!"

Tears welled up in my eyes now. I cried out, "Do you really think that I'd be on the same side as the person who killed my father?"

"In your third year you said that you wanted to kill your father," the old man revealed.

"Yes, because guess what? He was never there for me. I was all alone in a camp where I learned to fight! I never saw the real world until I was eleven! Of course I wanted to find my dad and kill him!

"But I would never go through with it! I want to kill Bellatrix Lestrange now. I don't care if I get put in Azkaban for it! I want to kill her. She killed my dad."

My vision blurred as I soon saw the words "Family, Luke, you promised," from Harrys mouth.

"He promised me.... Luke promised me...."

"Luke? Who is Luke?" Dumbledore asked, suddenly concerned.

I shakily sat down on a chair at the kitchen table.

"Luke Castellan. He promised me... Family, Luke, you promised. He was my family. Him, Annabeth and Thalia..."

Almost as if on command, Annabeth appeared with Percy. Ah, Dumbledore.

"Oh, no..." I heard Percy mutter.

"Family, Annabeth. He promised us that!"

Annabeth closed her grey eyes.

"He did. Luke promised that we were a family. He broke it. But we're still family. Me, you and Thalia. Now we have Grover and Percy too. We are a family."

She dried up my tears and brought me to my feet.

"Professor," Percy began, "Adele would never betray someone. She's too loyal for her own good. Besides, she protects her family."

I brought Annabeth and Percy into a hug and announced, "This is my family. My dad's side of the family is not."
