The big three at Hogwarts!

Christmas 3

Harry's POV:

A tall lady with dark hair in a high ponytail stepped forward and said, "Then everything, you shall know."

She nodded her head towards Thalia, "I s'pose the beginning is a good place to start with this. Well, as you can see, the Greek gods are real. So are demigods. You, my friends, are standing in Olympus, the home of the gods, in front of the Olympian council. My father, Zeus, my stepmother, Hera, Poseidon (Percy's dad), Demeter, Ares, Athena (Annabeth's mom), Apollo, Lady Artemis, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Hermes and Dionysus. Currently, Hecate, Hades (Nico's dad) and Hestia are also here.

"Percy, Nico and I were sent on a quest from the future. The 2000s to be exact. Annabeth and Tyson have been sent back as well, just later on. We're all demigods, except Tyson. He's a cyclops. Actually, we're not even eleven. Technically, I'm a day from turning 16 however, I am immortal, I don't age. A hunter of Artemis actually. I can die in battle but otherwise, I don't die. Eternal maiden-y stuff and all, ya know? Also, I was a tree for an extended period of time in my life. Anyway... Percy, Annabeth and Tyson are 16. Nico is 14 but he was born in the 1940's so not really. He was stuck in the Lotus Casino in Las Vegas for decades with his sister when he was about 10. When you're there, time passes differently. He didn't age and he thought he was only there for about a week (long story).

"Now, we just came out of a war with the Titans. We, of course, won. Only months later, we were sent by Hecate on a quest back in time to help protect Hogwarts. Not one of us is even a real witch or wizard. Just half-bloods through and through. Demigod half-bloods that is. Soooooo... yeah, I think that completes it. Anyone else wanna add anything?" She finished awkwardly.

Percy stepped forward. "I feel soooo bad about lying to you lot. You've become like the annoying siblings I always wanted. I mean, I have and love Tyson and Estelle but that's different. Also, Estelle is a baby in our time so, ya know? I can't really say she's annoying just yet. Especially since I've only seen her a few times. Look, I'm sorry. We weren't supposed to reveal ourselves until the time was right." He genuinely looked really guilty.

It was my turn to speak. "It's fine Percy, I understand. Though, I don't understand how we can be on Olympus if Mount Olympus is back in Greece. How is it possible?"

This time, it was Annabeth who answered. "Simple. The gods move around with something called 'The Western Flame'. It's where civilisation is centred. Right now, that's America. Olympus moves with them. Mount Olympus will always stay in Greece but the place Olympus moves with the gods."

That kinda made sense but this entire thing was so much to take in.

Even Hermione looked shocked. She might have suspected it but she probably never thought it would be true.

Ron just looked at the wall, not moving his eyes from that one spot for even a moment, blinking repeatedly. Seemingly shocked into silence for ages.

"I-is this real? Or is it just a big prank. One big prank. Everything that happened this holiday, was it all a prank?" Ron asked uncertainly. This made me worried. I wouldn't have been surprised. This would be the sort of prank Dudley would willingly agree to do just to make me look stupid.

Everyone shook their heads and said, "Gods no!"

A young girl that was tending to the fire turned to us. "Children, this is no 'prank'. This is real. This is all happening. We are as real as you." Then she turned to me with a knowing look. "Child, I know you have doubts, you always will after what happened at home but I promise you this: We are here and real. This is not a practical joke someone has played."

"H-how do you know, miss?" I asked politely.

"I am Lady Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home. I know what happens behind closed doors in homes." She told me with a small smile.
