Percy Potter

Chapter Two

After I wiped my tears, I stood up with my father. He looked at me uncertainly, and I offered him a broken smile, but a real one. He walked back to his throne, and I straightened my spine. My anger grew at this point, but I held it in. I looked Zeus straight in the eye. "I assume that that wasn't all that you wanted to talk to me about Zeus?" I was done with being polite after they pushed me into immortality, after I discreetly said no. "Why you... I could kill you were you stand, you puny demigod!" I chuckled evilly. "Do it! Blast me with your godly power. Smite me where I stand for my insolence! I do not want this 'gift' that you have cast upon me! I no longer want this life! If I am unable to live with my twin, then I don't want to live at all! Kill me Zeus, kill me! You have rarely granted my wishes, so, as a last request. I request death! I will gladly give you my corpse to practice your aim upon!" Zeus looked into my eyes, and I saw him hesitate. "Kill me! Do it! I know you hate me more than anything else. So now is your time for action. Kill me, incinerate me, fade me! I want this gone!" My father was looking at Zeus, pleadingly. I could care less right now. "Father." Athena spoke. "It would be unwise to kill our only champion on the day he was crowned. But Perseus, you must calm yourself. You are causing massive storms all around the world, millions of people's lives are at stake!" Upon hearing this, my eyes widened and I pulled back everything that could be possibly making these storms. I landed on my knees, tears threatening to fall once again. I furiously wiped them away and looked at Hades. "Did I..... Did I kill anyone, Lord Hades?" I looked at him pleadingly. His eyes softened and a light smile drifted in his face. "No Percy, you pulled back just in time." I sighed and nodded my head in thanks. "Another question, if I may?" I waited for Hades to nod before continuing. "Did all of the demigods get Elysium? Did... Annabeth get Elysium?" I looked at him once more, hopefully. He nodded gently. I sighed, a soft smile gracing my lips. "So..... Zeus. What will you do? What are your almighty plans for the rest of my life?" Clearly not expecting this question, he looked at me stupidly. I smirked, but it held no mirth, only sadness. "Well.... We have never had a champion before, so... Now that you are Olympus' Champion, you must bring pride to our name, help all immortals with their problems, and help us when problems arise with other beings." I nodded my head, sadly lost in thought. "Lord Zeus! May I be the first to present a problem to the Champion?" Hecate stepped out of the crowd and moved to stand next to me. "Yes, I will grant you this wish Hecate. Where does this problem stem from?" I did not like Zeus' disrespect, but I had already stepped over my line, a long while ago, and I was reluctant to push it farther. "It is from my pet world, the Wizarding world." Zeus nodded his head and threw his Master Bolt at the floor of the throne room, discontinuing the meeting. Hecate grabbed my arm, and I closed my eyes as she flashed us to a certain location. Once we landed, Hecate whirled me around, looking suspicious. "Show me your forehead." I looked at her in confusion (an act, I knew she wanted to see if I was the one she was looking for) and lifted up my bangs. I cursed myself for my carelessness. I wouldn't be able to cast my glamour spell now, because she would know exactly what I was doing. She was the maker of my lost world. She saw the scar on my forehead and sighed softly. "Percy Potter....." I nodded my head softly. Then I whispered, worry lacing my tone, "Is he alive?" I couldn't bare it if he died. "Yes, but only because of the Doors of Death. The final day of their battle was a day before ours." She then went on the explain everything that has happened in Harry's life. My eyes grew large and watery at what I heard. When she finished, I was crying silently. Then a thought struck me. "Wait.... Then Voldemort isn't dead?" I looked at Hecate for confirmation. "Yes. He is once again getting his power back, and because of how recent he was killed, he doesn't need a lot of time. He may strike anytime this coming year at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all going again for a proper seventh year, and I believe you would love to see your twin again, correct?" I nodded my head quickly, hope rising in my shattered heart. "Do you mean....?" She smiled at me, happiness radiating off of her. "Yes. Percy, would you like a to become my personal champion and save my world with the help of your twin?" My heart leaped in shock. I bent down on one knee and fisted my hand over my heart, bowing my head. "It would be an honor, Lady Hecate." She pulled me up and into a hug. I was surprised when a shock ran through my core, and I understood my magic completely. I once again cast a strengthened glamour over myself, and thanked Hecate. "When do I start?" I asked, eager to see my twin bro. "The school year starts in four days, and I think it would be best to get you situated into a wizard atmosphere by having you live in Diagon Alley until you have to leave. Will this do?" I nodded my head, but then frowned. "What will I do about money?" Hecate gave me a smirk. "You know all of the drachmas that you collected over the years from monsters? They are worth something at Gringotts." I frowned, not having the data of drachma currency already installed in my mind. It must be a secret thing that she doesn't want me to know yet. Oh well, I thought, as I grabbed Hecate's arm and was flashed to my new life.
