Percy and Nico Undercover at Hogwarts

Epilogue

Third Person

As soon as the train went off into the distance, there was a bright flash of light and the four demigods were taken to the Olympian Thrown Room.

Percy looked around, noticing all the things that Annabeth had changed, but it didn't make him sad. It made him happy.

He still missed her, but it no longer hurt to think about her.

He thought back to the time when Nico had snuck him into the Underworld all those months ago to tell her goodbye. She had told him that she was his guide and that they weren't meant to be together. The more he thought about it, the more right she was.

She was the one to make him give up immortality. If he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have been able to be apart of the Seven. And he wouldn't've been able to fall in love with Nico di Angelo.

Nico looked up at his boyfriend and smiled.

There was nothing he loved more than him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Aphrodite smile. He knew that he had her to thank for his and Percy's love and he couldn't be more grateful.

"Heroes," Zeus' voice thundered around the Throne Room. "It's time that we once again say thank you."

"You helped us out once more with only mild complaining," Hera added, smiling for the first time at the demigods standing in front of her. "Some of the gods would like to give you gifts as a thank you. But first," she said, looking at Percy, "Would you like to be changed back?"

Percy knew exactly what she was talking about and shook his head, grabbing Nico's hand in his own.

"You know what? This look is good for now. I don't want to seem to much older than Nico," he said, bumping shoulders with the smaller boy.

The gods smiled at the couple.

"I would like to bless you with all with happy relationships and families," Hera said. "They will be faithful and full of love. Also, I'm the goddess of Motherhood and Childbirth, so for the relationships that can't have a child on their own, I'll grant you one when you're ready."

Percy and Nico smiled at each other, gripped their hands together tighter.

"My turn," Aphrodite said, getting giddy. She looked at the heroes who turned to face her. "Mine isn't a blessing so much as it is a promise," she said, smiling. "I promise that I won't medal in your relationships unless I'm asked."

The demigods smiled, happy to have one less thing to worry about.

"I would like to give you all these," Hades said and with a wave of his hand they were all holding credit cards. "Go and have an easy life without having to care about money."

"I would like to grant you all one free question about your future," Apollo said, taking the attention off of Hades and putting it on himself. "No rhymes or riddles, just a straight answer. You can ask me at any time, but only one per person."

Hephaestus cleared his throat. "Leo, you asked me for a favor not that long ago, and I would like to say that she's waiting for you on the beach of Camp Half-Blood."

Leo's eyes widened and he started shaking and bouncing up and down in excitement. He knew exactly what his father was talking about.

"And lastly, I would like to grant you all free roam of the ocean and safety from all creatures in it," Poseidon said, directing most of what he was saying to his son's partner.

"Now, where would you like to go?" Zeus asked, looking at the heroes, having finished what they wanted to say.

"The beach," Leo said, answering for all of them. When the others nodded, he waved his hand and there was a bright flash of light.

Piper headed up to her cabin to tell her siblings what had happened on her quest.

Leo was to busy hugging and kissing Calypso to even notice the crowd of people that were surrounding the new girl.

Percy had pulled Nico away from the crowd and grabbed two surfboards from the stands that were behind him, taking him to a more secluded part of the beach, away from prying eyes.

"What are you doing?" Nico asked, confused.

"I told you that we'd go surfing!" Percy said with a smile plastered onto his face. "Just like I promised!"

"Gods, Percy, I love you," Nico responded, chuckling.

Percy grabbed his boyfriend and pulled him in for a kiss.

"I love you too."
