The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Thirty Two

Orion went to gather the boys while Dahlia got Bianca. Moon had told her that she was awake, Dahlia knocked on her door, "Bianca can I come in?" she didn't get a response but she did hear sniffling, the door magically unlocked itself and she entered.

"How did the door randomly unlock?" Vanya shyly asked. Bianca and Nico were noticing Bianca was slouching in her seat while Crowley was looking at her in sympathy.

"The house is sentient, it listens to those with Peverell Magic over everyone else, and me as I'm the head of that house more than the others," Dahlia explained.

The dark haired girl had been sitting on her bed crying, "What's wrong sweetie?" Dahlia asked and sat next to her. "Nico," she muttered.

"Gee, this seems familiar," Ruby sassed only to receive a poke in the side from Henrik making her almost squeal, she hated being ticklish.

"Okay, I'm going to tell you something similar I told your stepmother about your father. Have you thought about what he has experienced when you two were originally out of the casino?" Bianca shook her head. "Okay, think about it, he's a ten year old boy who was in an unknown place and in an unknown time. He finds people like him only for you to abandon him- yes you abandoned him, don't argue- and he had to deal with camp by himself, without his sister. Then he has to worry if she's going to become a man hater like the rest of the Hunt. Then he finds out you let for a quest, and then finds out you died and held a big grudge against Percy Jackson because he just couldn't blame it on you and he had promised you would come back. His parentage is found out, he becomes an outcast and anti social, they judged him because of his father who he acts very much like. He's gone through two wars, you've gone through none. He's gone through Tartarus, you didn't. So how do you think he would've taken seeing you again, alive? Hades knew he's act that way to, that's why he tried to keep you apart a bit but still actually get to know your mother and remember her, Nico's the one that struggles being in a different time, he's the one that lived alone on the streets. You joined a group that lives in a forest, and gets regular food, he did not, the hunters are not up with the times because some of them are quite old, he didn't get that option. So why do you think he's angry with you. He's basically a mini Hades, he's got a mask up, and he really just feels betrayed. He's hiding it with his anger, like Hades hides his frustration. So like I told Persephone, see it from his point of view. She even went and genuinely apologized to him, yes he was surprised, but he accepted it. Now when you're done crying, Moon will show you where the dining room is," Dahlia told her.

Bianca was staring at the screen before she looked at her brother who was looking impressed and nodding. She really did that much just from joining the Hunters? From the thankful look the other Nico was giving Dahlia, she knew the woman had been correct.

Dahlia met with Orion and the boys who had were eating some fruit. Henrik was happily eating his food, like it was the best thing he had eaten. Orion, seeing his wife's now red and brown hair (angry and irritated) he dropped his fork, "What happened?" he asked and the two boys looked at Dahlia. "Bianca wanted to know why Nico was mad at her," said boy was looking a bit upset, "So I told her something similar to what I told Persephone, just a bit harsher because I don't agree with what she did. She should've known what she had done," she argued, her hair going a bit redder.

"Yes she should have," Orion agreed. "I had looked at her with my other eyes and that had shown up," he said. The children had been explained to about Orion's ability to see sins, so the boys were not very surprised. Nico looked appreciative of our opinions about Bianca before continuing to eat his fruit. A few minutes later Bianca came out and sat across from Nico. She had bloodshot eyes meaning she had cried some more.

"But I would have died any way, apparently," Bianca had said.

"We could've treated the situation a little better, even if the prophecy was to fall to Percy and we were older, we did still abandon him," the other Bianca said.

Nico jumped and looked at the entrance of the room, Bianca's widened to and Dahlia saw they had seen Godric. "I think we have to explain the founders," she mentioned. "Is one in the hallway?" Orion asked. "Godric is," confirmed. "Oi! I got curious," Godric defended himself back in his portrait making Henrik jump.

"It was either going to be me or Rowena, I just went first," Godric spoke up, scaring the people who forgot the Founders had been there.

When everyone finished, they went to the main hallway and stopped in front of the four portraits. "These are the Hogwarts Founders. The actual ones, their spirits possess the frames and it allows them to talk to people who can't see them while out. When you go to Hogwarts, you'll find the only actual portrait is the one that guards the dorms of their own houses," Dahlia explained. "I'm working on something with Salazar and Rowena and to maybe get them a fake body so they can actually interact," Dahlia said. "Like a robot?" Nico asked. Dahlia nodded and noticed Henrik and especially Bianca looked quite confused. "Cool," Nico smiled.

The Four Founders opened up bits of their skin, showing the blue mechanics underneath, the Hargreeves were stunned to find out that Reginald was not the one who created the Grace the robot.

The other members of their family started arriving and sat down, the kids had been introduced to the Malfoy's, and that Luna was the person Dahlia went back in time with, she said it specifically for Nico if he wanted to mention something that happens in the future, hence the robot question. Also mentioning that if Luna mentions something, do it, she's a seer. They met Myrtle, Nico gained a questioning look. Minerva and Pomona were introduced.

"Was this when I was Mr. Small Dick?" Eileen asked. Dahlia snorted and nodded while Severus looked at his mother with wide eyes and Severus was hiding his face in his mother's side, hiding his laughter.

They were introduced to the Potter's and found they would have originally been Dahlia's grandparents. And then Tom, we didn't know how Nico would react to Tom. "Okay, so the last person is also the biggest change that was made. Nico may have heard of him as I'm sure Hades has complained about him," Orion started. "Oh he has, he told me," Tom added, he looked at Nico, "I'm Tom Riddle, also known as Tom Slytherin-Gaunt. I was the guy who unwillingly split his soul," he introduced himself. Nico had a look of realization, "that's why your name was familiar," he pointed at Myrtle, who had nodded. The boy looked back at Tom, "Well I'm glad you're whole and sane," he said. Tom smiled, amused, "Yeah Hades said the exact same."

"You had subconsciously hidden the horcruxes rather well because Hecate was having trouble finding them and hinting where they were as she couldn't directly interfere. Thanatos and Hecate were arguing about one horcrux, they would repeatedly argue about it, and I'm assuming it was Dahlia," Nico spoke up when the screen blacked out again.
