When Worlds Collide (a Harry Potter and Percy Jackson fanfic)

Fatal Flaw

Are you guys ready for an emotional roller coaster that will probably make you cry? The next few chapter are going to be full of emotion. I was gonna fit it all in this one chapter but decided the more detail and sadness the better! So I'm extending it to two or three parts.

Also I'm not sure when I'll be able to update again this week. Today, Wednesday, and Thursday I have cheerleading practice, Friday is cheerleading tryouts for next year, and then on Tuesday (tomorrow) I have track. I usually have track practice everyday after school but cheerleading is interfering this week. I'm gonna try and update again by Saturday but no promises.

Harry's POV:

The wood door closes behind us and lights along the walls come to life revealing us to be in a circular room with a door on the opposite wall. Once again a note is attached to the door.

I reach the note first and read the cursive writing out loud.

"Congratulations demigods for making it this far, though the first challenges are always the easiest to overcome this one will be the worst. He who has the worst fatal flaw must sit helpless against the wall."

I scrunch my eyebrows together in confusion.

"What the bloody hell does that mean?" Ron asks breaking the silence. Not knowing how to react I look at the others, mainly the smartest ones; Annabeth and Hermione.

"Ok so basically this is the hardest challange." Hermione says.

"And which ever one of us has the waitstaff fatal flaw." Annabeth continues for her.

"Will have to face it helplessly." Hermione says. The girls look at each other surprised and then smile. I'm glad the wizards and demigods don't hate each other.

"Well, I think we'll all agree on who has the worst fatal flaw." Leo says smirking. All the demigods nod.

"Percy." They all say turning to look at the shocked demigod.

"Why me?" Percy asks bewildered.

"Do we really need to explain?" Piper asks raising an eyebrow.

He mumbles something under his breath that sounds suspiciously like "its always me" and then he stomps forward like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. "What else does the stupid note say?"

"Nothing really just that you have to do this in order for is to get the 'gold' the last note talked about." I tell him. He nods but looks confused.

"Now what?" He asks looking around the room.

Suddenly another note appears. He picks it up and reads, "Oops I almost forgot to mention, I need everyone to stand against the wall except for the one doing the challange."

Doing as we're told everyone but Percy press our backs to the dirt wall. "Um now something about a two way mirror and and a spell. But my dyslexia is acting up."

"Oh let me see it." Ginny says stepping away from the wall. Before she can take the note from Percy a glass wall comes down and stops us from getting to far away from the wall. Percy does a 360 turn and his eyes widen.

Confused I ask him what's wrong but he doesn't reply.

A blinding flash comes from nowhere and hits Percy. Startled he falls to the floor, his eyes closed.

"Percy!" Annabeth shouts banging on the glass. After a few minutes he gasps and sits up. Looking around confused and scared he stands up and backs up against the wall.

A table appears with a glass on it. A cloaked man appears next and he pours a red substance into the glass. He disappears and Ginny walks in. She smiles and picks up the glass. Bringing it to her lips Percy screams and tries to run to her but for some reason he can't move.

Ginny drains the glass and then her eyes widen, the color leaves her face, the glass slips and shatters to the floor. Ginny falls down clutching her throat looking at Percy for help.

"Please Percy, the antidote." She struggles to say. Percy looks at his side where another glass has appeared, the antidote. "Please."

Percy struggles against invisible bonds holding his arms to his side. He wants to help Ginny but he can't. He starts screaming for Ginny to stay strong but her eyes close and she becomes still. The poison killed her.

I don't notice I'm crying until a tear rolls down my cheek. I quickly wipe it away and pray to all the gods out there that I didn't even know existed until a month ago that I would never have to witness that again, that Ginny won't have to go through that.

"It's alright Harry, this isn't real." Ginny says slipping her hand into mine and smiling up at me.

"I know, I just never want to witness that." I whisper so only we can hear. She smiles and kisses my cheek. (aww Garry or Hinny moment!)

Leo's POV:

After Ginny number 2 disappears from the room with Percy a girl with black hair dressed in black appears. She turns around and I see her face, Thalia.

She looks alarmed but it takes me a few seconds to notice why. A man is walking towards her forcing her to walk close to the edge of the 'building' they're standing on.

She looks behind her, her breathing gets heavy when she sees how high she is. I almost forgot how terrified of heights she is.

Percy struggles against the invisible bonds holding him back. He could save her if he could move.

The man pushes Thalia and she manages to hold on to the edge. She shouts for help and looks at Percy with accusing eyes like it's his fault. Then she slips. Her piercing scream ends with the cracking of bones on pavement.

I wipe away my tears so no one knows I cried over Thalia's fake death. I would have saved her.

I guess that's the whole point of this challenge. Percy is used to do whatever it takes to save the people he loves, now he has the ability to save them but he can't. He has to see his loved ones die.

Tada! Ok so I only wanted two character visions in this chapter, more character visions are coming and the ones who are coming at the end are gonna be the most emotional so be prepared.

I'm really excited for these chapters so I'm gonna try and update again today. Key word TRY. No promises! I have homework, I have to shower, eat, do my chores, and practice my routines for cheer tryouts so I'm busy plus I have to go on a run or workout for my tack meet on Monday.

Love ya guys and thanks for being patient. Ya'll are seriously the best readers I could ask for.
