Finding Hope (Book 1)

Chapter 15: End of Term

By next morning, however, the snow that had begun in the night had turned into a blizzard so thick that the last Herbology of the term was canceled: Professor Sprout wanted to fit socks and scarves on the Mandrakes, a tricky operation she would entrust to no one else, now that it was so important for the Mandrakes to grow quickly and revive Mrs. Norris and Colin Creevey.

Harry was next to the fire in the Gryffindor common room obviously fretting over about Justin, while Ron and Hermione used their time off to play a game of wizard chess, and Hope was in a fetal potion, on one of the couches, thinking about what happened last night.

~~~~~~Last night~~~~~~

"Were you guys there the hole time?" Hope asked

"Hope, I know we probably shouldn't has sneaked around, but were your friends and we deserve to know what is going on with you." Harry explained. Hope was frustrated that they found out, but they were right.

"Well any questions then?" Hope asked.

"Well I have one."Ron said. "What did you mean by your mom is a goddess?"

"Well I mean just that my mom is a Greek Goddess." Hope replied

"Which one?" Ron asked

"I don't actually know... Which one do you guys think?" I said.

We all walked to the library to look for a book that tells them about all the gods and goddess'.

"Here it is!" Hermione said.

"Aphrodite, the Greek goddesss of love and beauty. She can be quite vain and often carries a mirror with her.She has a reputation for being flirtatious and clever, but they aren't her only two traits. Aphrodite believes in true love and has a deep connection with her children as well as all their fathers. She is the oldest of the Olympian gods and also widely believed to be one of the most powerful, as love is the most powerful force in the universe.

Apollo, the Greek god of healing, music, archery, poetry, prophecy, and the sun. He's known for having a cocky, self-centered attitude and can be pretty laid back. He speaks haiku all the time, one of his current hobbies, and even though he's the god of poetry, he's canonically pretty terrible at it. Apollo loves most demigods, regardless of whose they are, and usually will help them out in a bind. He has a tendency to flirt with girls, but also has serious respect for women, especially his mother, Leto, and his sister Artemis.

Ares, the Greek god of war. He's known as a brash man, and it's been said that 'he could pick a fight in an empty room.' He has a great sense of pride and is known as being very bloodthirsty. The best way to defend him is to call him a coward - you will quite literally get cut down. As a parent, Ares is very strict, but he cares about his children very much.

Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, chastity, the moon, and the wilderness. Even though she's twins with Apollo, she couldn't be more different from him.

She's known as the more focused and serious twin. She spends a lot of time with mortals, especially young girls - who she has a deep care and affection for - and understands them better than most of the gods. She tends to judge people by their acts and deeds rather than potential, and is an independant goddess who doesn't spend much time on Olympus. She has a general dislike for men, though she respects men who prove themselves as valiant to her.
