The Distance Between Us

Magical Meet + Greet

As soon as Percy and Nico entered the house, they were lead by a bored looking teenager who introduced himself as Ron Weasley, Harry's best friends, to the dining room. Thalia was already there and being assaulted by question from a curious looking witch with bushy brown hair and brown eyes who was already reminding Percy of Annabeth, who had been a daughter of Athena.

"Just the people we were waiting for!" Said a man who couldn't have been older than 40 but looked like he had... seen some things.

"Why don't you introduce yourselves, all three of you." A kind looking woman with red hair who was probably Ron's mother said.

"Well I'm Thalia, daughter of Zeus." Thalia said, flashing them all a grin.

"Nico, son of Hades."

"Percy, son of Poseidon... and Sally Jackson, or as you all would know her, Lily Potter." Then he frowned. "Speaking of, I don't think she knows I'm here. When I tell her, I'm sure she'll be here quicker than you can say 'blue cookies'."

"Well my mom's dead." Nico said, offering the wizards a wicked smile.

"My mom might not be dead, but she might as well be for all I care." Thalia said, and the witch who was probably Ron's mother gasped affrontedly.

"What could she have possibly done too-?" She was cut off by Thalia.

"She abandoned my then 4 year old brother in the woods to be raised by wolves, and all because he was the son of my father's Roman form."

"Well I don't have a brother," Nico said, and Thalia scoffed.

"Neither do I." She said, and began to stare pointedly at the floor.

"What I was going to say was that I had a sister, but she killed herself."

"Well that got dark fast," Percy mumbled, memories of Jason, son of Jupiter and Thalia's little brother who was the same age as her thanks to Thalia's half-immortal Hunter of Artemis status, and Bianca, daughter of Hades, older sister to Nico, the first death to happen on Percy's hands, coursing through his head.

"Well," A kind-looking man with a scar covered face said, clearing his throat. "My name is Remus Lupin, this is my husband, Sirius Black." He gestured to to the man who had first spoken when the three demigods had entered the room.

"I've heard about you two," Percy said, smiling. "You're in the pictures all over the walls as well. My mom misses you." Remus and Sirius both smiled.

"Wait a minute," Thalia said, clearly trying to move on from her most recent comment. "Your mom was friends with a werewolf? I love your mom, but when I see her again, we're going to have to have a talk about how to notice the signs." Everyone at the dining-room table gasped.

"It's a sensitive topic, Thalia." Percy grumbled. "And he's not a bad person, he only loses control once a month."

"Moving on," Probably Ron's Mom, said. "I'm Molly, this is my husband Arthur, and our children, who are all here today except for Percy so count yourselves lucky, Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron, and our youngest Ginny." She gestured to each of the redheads around the table in turn.

"I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger." The bushy-haired girl introduced herself.

"I'm Alastor Moody, but everybody calls me Mad-Eye for some reason." A man sitting next to Remus said, he has one eye that was normal, but the other was fake, and was spinning wildly in its socket.

"I'm Nymphadora Tonks, but call me by my first name and I'll slaughter you." A woman with bubblegum pink hair who sat next to Sirius said, he hair, turning red as she threatened the demigods.
