Epilogue

one week later

"Do you really have to leave?" Harry asks me. It may sound strange, but we had become the best of friends.

Right after everything with Tartarus had gone down, everyone had gone back to the castle and decompressed. The next day, we had talked with all of our friends, who had overcome their initial shock enough to think that demigods were pretty cool. They had wanted to know a lot about our abilities and such, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a relief to have to keep the secret at Hogwarts. I was showing Riptide to some friends when Harry, Ron, and Hermione came up and asked to talk to me.

"I'm going to start off by saying that I'm incredibly sorry." Harry told me. "I know that my actions towards you, your friends, and many others are horrible. Tartarus maintained some degree of control over me, one that I couldn't even recognize until he revealed himself yesterday. He guided my thoughts in certain directions and caused me to hate you. I treated you awfully and for that I'm deeply sorry. I should have tried harder to fight against Tartarus' control. I am so thankful to you for freeing us from him."

"I'm sorry for being mean to you at first." Ron continued. "Hermione and I weren't actually possessed until yesterday."

"We just kind of went along with Harry at first until we discovered how kind and awesome you are." Hermione smiled. "I'm sorry about my previous actions as well."

"You're all forgiven." I told them. "And I'm so impressed that you were able to fight Tartarus' control yesterday. You're the type of people that I would really appreciate to have as friends, and I hope that we can be friends no matter what happens going forward."

"Group hug!" Ron cheered, pulling us all in.

I snap back into the present to answer Harry. "I wish I didn't have to, but I've been away from home from a long time, and I have some responsibilities there to take care of."

He gave me a hug. "Be careful, man."

"You too. I taught you how to Iris-Message, so make sure to contact me regularly." I remind him, and then leave to say my final goodbyes: Danil and Sofie. I've already said goodbye to everyone else, and now it's just these two.

"Here." Danil presses something into my hands as soon as I walk up. I look down in surprise.

"Why are you giving me the tournament trophy?" I ask.

Sofie rolls her eyes. "Eet is not like you were not going to win."

"I'm really going to miss you guys, you know that?" I smile sadly.

"You must come visit often." Danil orders.

"Or maybe we could go to you." Sofie suggests, and I smile.

The whole alliance thing is uncertain right now, which is a big part of the reason that we're returning home. I have no doubt that rumors about the demigods who went to Hogwarts will spread throughout the wizarding world, but there is nothing concrete between our two groups at the moment. I do know that things are looking positive for our joint futures, though.

"We'll see." I respond, and bid them goodbyes before joining my friends and our baggage at the portkey.

I am the last to touch the globe that will serve as our transport home. I turn to Annabeth, who is next to me.

"So, how was this 'vacation', Percy?" Annabeth asks me.

"There were ups and downs." I smile. "But I love anything as long as I do it with you."

As the world fades around us, the last thing I'm aware of is Annabeth pressing her lips against mine.

PLEASE READ I UPDATED TWICE TODAY NOW DO ME A SOLID

wow, I can't believe it's finally done. I've put so much time and effort into writing Crossed, and I'm so proud of how it turned out. Now to start off my oscars speech:

I'd like to thank you. yes, you, especially if you've read this far. your support is so incredibly important to me, and your reads, comments, and votes mean the world to me. it really makes me so happy that my writing is enjoyed by all of you.

soon I'm going to make some edits to my PJO/HOO universe fic Thin Ice. If you haven't already checked it out, I highly suggest you do. I have a lot of ideas for it, and it will undergo some edits before I continue updating, but I promise that the story is really solid and what I have is already great. (edits will be mostly minor). Please put it in your library now, and I also reccommend following me so that you can stay updated on what I'm doing. I also write about Teen Wolf and might start some other fandoms soon, so if you're interested in that make sure to check out my works. there is a very high chance that I will return to writing about HP/PJO in the future as well (probably not another crossover though, sorry. I won't say never though).

I love you all!
