The Lost God

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO: ONLY COOL PEOPLE LIKE HARRY POTTER

While Will was healing dad, which still weird to call him that, I was dragged into watching Harry Potter by Maya.

Apparently her brother was too boring for her to be invited and my brother was too busy and rest were too terrifying to be asked.

Oh well then, I do like Harry Potter.

"They completely ruined Ron in the movies." Maya complaint. "And that scene doesn't even makes any sense. Why is Hermione complaining about him eating all the time when its literally lunch."

"It's a stupid scene that is meant to make Ron look stupid." I replied. "I mean they made Draco and Snape look better. And those two are just complete jerks."

Yes I've read the Harry Potter. Yes I have dyslexia. Audiobooks exist people.

"I know right? It's as if they read the books and decided to throw their personalities in the trash." She exclaimed. "I guess it would make sense to give Draco a redemption arc because even if he was an asshole, he was still a kid. But Snape? That dude was an adult that couldn't act like one. Sure he had to make sure no one suspected him, but that dude was literally one of his students worse fear."

"You are literally younger than Draco would be in this movie." I reminded her. "But valid point. Besides, he did get a redemption arc in that cursed book. I remember trying to read it. I just couldn't do it. And dyslexia wasn't the reason for that."

"It was pretty awful." She agreed. "Most of the things that happened in that would have never happened in the actual series."

"Are you two geeking out on Harry Potter?" Aaron asked as he appeared behind us.

"Why didn't you invite me?" whined Will who was standing with him. "I love Harry Potter."

"Of course, everyone with good taste does." Maya replied. "Does good taste run in your family?"

Will grinned at her and sat next to me before replying, "I am afraid so. We usually have great tastes in movies and music."

"Duh, our dad's the god of music." I replied rolling my eyes.

"You need to stop stealing my friends, you know." Aaron told his little sister.

Maya stuck her tongue out at him, "I will when you stop making all my friends have crushes on you. Really, it's disgusting."

I don't think I've ever seen the son of Aphrodite's cheek redden so fast. He looked kind of cute when he blushed.

Woah, where did that thought came from?

"Its not my fault my mother is the goddess of beauty." He replied back. "I am cursed with being gorgeous."

I don't know why I almost agreed with his statement. Perhaps my fever is not completely gone yet? Yeah, probably. Maybe I should go and take some ambrosia, just in case.

Maya however snorted, "Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that."

"Whatever." He rolled his eyes. "Will, Rory, we have to discuss what to do next."

"But she's streaming Harry Potter." I argued. "It's illegal to not watch the entire Harry Potter when its streaming."

"No its not." Aaron frowned.

"Yes it is pretty boy." I replied rolling my eyes. "I just told you so."

"That's not a valid argument." He pointed out to me, even though I could barely care.

Harry Potter is life and no one gets in between me and my life.

"Aaron, I don't think we should discuss it now anyways." Will told him. "We've only arrived here half an hour ago. Everyone is tired, maybe we should discuss this after we are all rested."

"Watching Harry Potter is not resting Will." Aaron told him. "I mean, I am no Apollo kid or some health expert, but I think I am pretty sure about that."

"Its Harry Potter." Will shrugged, as if that was enough of an answer.

Which to be fair, it was.

"We'll rest after the movie's over." I compromised. "Fine?"

He just sighed like he was a tired parent that had to watch his child do something extremely stupid. "Fine, just don't try enacting the characters. You two are demigods. For all I know, you guys just go and say Lumos and end up turning my house into a lighthouse."

Will flushed as if he had done something like that.

I on the other was more than willing to do something like that, just to go against his words.

I might not have the powers of a night lamp (at least not that I know of) but I know that I am going buy all the flashlights I can find in the town just for this noble purpose.

"Yeah whatever." Maya shrugged him off. "Go watch a romantic or something you Aphrodite demigods do."

Aaron rolled his eyes, "For that comment, you will now be going to get Jamie back."

"You can't tell me what to do." Maya stuck her tongue out at him.

"I am your older brother and when Amrita isn't home, my word goes." He retorted. "Now get up and go get my favourite sibling that's so much better than you."

"Uh, I think you mean he's so much better than you!"

I knew that Aaron had another sibling.

I just didn't expect to fall in love with him.

I dare you to try and not fall in love with him. He's so fucking adorable, I would jump off a cliff for him.

Jamie's complexion is like that of his sister Maya. His big brown eyes are just filled with pure innocence and curiosity. He looked at everything like everything entertained him. And gods, he looked like an absolute delight in his cute spiderman onesie.

Jamie is the two year old half-brother of Maya and step brother of Aaron; and he is clearly the most charming member of the family.

Jamie was currently in Maya's arms, looking at everyone like we were from some movie, before he spotted Aaron and literally beamed and spread his arms calling out, "Ronny!" in the most adorable way possible.

"So big brother Ronny comes and all of a sudden favourite sister May-May is forgotten, huh?" he asked the little baby giggled.

Aaron just smiled at his brother and took him in his arms, "Well clearly he prefers me. He does have a great preference, don't you little guy?"

Jamie just laughed and poked his eye.
