Gathering Deep

Quest

A knock sounded on my door. I walk towards it and open the door to see lady Hectate. I bow my head and murmur a lady Hectate.
"May I come in Perseus?" She asked. I let her in.
"Would you like anything?" I ask to be polite.
"No thank you I came here to wish for you to teach at my school. They need someone to teach them how to fight with wands." She said. I sigh.
"I will do it but I need you two do me favors in return." I said.
She nod.
"What favors do wish to ask." She asked.
"One make sure this building doesn't get destroyed, and someone to babysit my princess of an honorary niece. She lives next door with her mom who was raped. I don't want anything to happen to the two of them." I said. She nodded. She shot a beam at me. I got new information swarming in my head. I feel more powerful. She then handed me a stick or I mean wand. She then handed me a key. She then told me that I need to be on a train tomorrow. I nodded. I went to Kate's apartment and knocked. She opened the door.
"Hey Kate I'm going to be out of country teaching some kids. However, I got someone to watch Rose and check in on the two of you." I said.
Hectate came behind me.
"Hi my name is Morgan I'm Percy's Aunt from his father side. I'll be checking in and watching Rose when needed." Hectate said.
Kate smiled and nodded. She gave me a hug then I heard feet running up.
"Hey Princess." I said catching her.
"Uncle Percy!" She squealed.
"Now Rose. I'll be gone for a while teaching some kids. My aunt here is going to watch you when I'm away so your mom can still go to work." I said.
"Awe I don't want you to leave." She said starting to cry.
"Hey no sad tears princess. I'll tell you what. I'll send you blue cookies to your mom. And Ill buy you a souvenir while I'm there. I'll write you letter. And write you story's and maybe Hectate can tell you some stories." I said.
"Promise you come back." She said pouring her lip.
"Yes sweetheart I'll come back with loads of blue candy and a special present from London." I said with a smile.
I kiss her forehead and give her a good hug.
"Okay Rose time for bed." I said.
"Okay night Uncle Percy." She said and walked into her  room. I gave another hug to Kate and walked back into my apartment. I grabbed the art work me and rose did. I went to a museum with my paintings displayed. The owner came out smiling. He saw my painting in my hand, and he was jumping.
"My helper came today." I told him. He gave me a thousand and I handed the painting. He hung it up.
"What is it called." He asked.
"The unknown shadow" I said. He smiled. He got a paper and put it beside it. I deposit the thousand in Kate's and Roses Bank account. I then appeariate to London. I walk into king cross station. I have a sleeveless shirt and ripped jeans. Showing the scars and burns. I walked through platform between 9 and 10. Parents were saying goodbye to their kids and older kids all glumly talked to each other. I walked on the train and sat down in a compartment. Soon the horn sounded and the hallway is full of kids trying to get into compartments. The door opened and there stood three teenagers with eyes saying they witnessed death. I sigh, they stared at my arms.
I stood up and held my hand out.
"Hello my name is Perseus Jackson I'll be teaching Defense class." I said. They each shook my hand.
"Ron Weasley"
"Harry Potter"
"Hermione Granger"
"It nice to meet you. As you can tell I'm from America." I said. They nod and got situated in the compartment.
"Why do you have so many scars?" Ron asked munching on some chocolate.
'That's not all of them' I mumbled. By the way they look at me they heard me.
"I was apart of two wars, in which I lost my parents, cousins, friends and my fiancé. My soul mate. My aunt sent me here to teach muggle defense so in times you lose your wand or with a muggle that is not so kindly to you. You will be able to defend." I said sitting down.
"Sorry to hear about your fiancé." Hermione said.
"I'm starting to let it go it's been four to five years now." I said.
So where from America did you come from?" Harry said trying to change the subject. I give a slight smile and nod to him.
"New York. My recently discovered Uncle lives there also." I said.
"Do you live with him?" Ron asked.
"No I own my moms apartment. I cleaned it up from their deaths." I said. They had thinking faces.
"They we're murdered, when I was being held for torture in another country. I wasn't told until the war was over after the enemy was dead and my fiancé, friends and cousins were killed that I can't go home to my mom and step dad because they were murdered before I escaped the hell I was in." I said. A trolley of candy came by. I bought some blue candy. I sat back down and put them in my pocket. I took out a bag of blue cookies.
"Why are the cookies blue?" Ron asked.
"My first step monster of a Dad said there was no such thing is blue food. However, my mom made all the food blue since then. It's actually really good." I said handing them a cookie before eating mine. They look at me wide eyed.
"That was so good." Ron said.
I nodded.
