The Potter Lost In A Hurricane

19. Daughter of Anger

Annabeth POV

As Nico dropped his persona of power, he stepped back. Will tried to comfort his significant bother as he called Nico, but Nico seemed so agitated he went off on Percy and Harry.

"Do you know how many problems Harry Potter and his parents and dead, well not dead, brother have caused?! All the things his-your- family have done that messed up the Underworld? First the fucking Peverall brothers and now the horcruxes!" He took a breath, "Which i guess isn't your fault but it's still not fun to do the paperwork on how part of someone has died! And the Riddler man. I've met his grandfather so I can see that... but Harry Potter and his story- what we know in the underworld- is insane and shouldn't have happened. He belongs to my father and Thanatos. Just like the Riddler did. So thank you Harry Potter for getting that done. But the whole, dying but not really thing... don't do that anymore."

"I- I won't." Harry whispered, his shaking hand falling into Ginny's steady one.

"We don't belong with Death..." Percy said. "And if I did, wouldn't he have taken me in July?"

"No. You saved him. That's a free pass." Nico said as if he had thought of it before. "You both should have died that Halloween. You both know it. And if you're twins... that prophecy was meant for you. The oath was broken before and so were so many laws of death ignored that night."

"Oath?" Ron asked "We only found out about all this" Ron vaguely gestured at me and Hazel, "an hour ago!"

"The oath isn't important... the prophecy was. And Nico there's another one." Hazel said.

"Another one?" It was Will who spoke up. "With my dad gone, no prophecies have been spoken at all. And there's not an Oracle that my dad doesn't knows about. Are there any of my siblings there?"

"Not that we know of, but the prophecy did say that there were three other halfbloods here. One of them being Harry, obviously." Hazel explained and closed her eyes. "Four half bloods shall join a new group/ To join the four already in our troop /With the help of her sister and the strike of a bone /She will take on monsters in a body not her own /A child of three will call forth a storm /One only he or his brother could ever control /All guided by the child of Greek strategy /Using the dreams to save another from insanity /The soul holders find the bird and the one-eyed blacksmith /Lead by the past praetor of the fifth."

"Who is the fourth half-blood that joined?" Will asked. Percy and Hazel looked at each other and then at me. Did we really want to tell Nico that his sister was undead? "Hello?"

"We know who she is but that doesn't matter. We called for information on Tyson." I took charge. A quick change in subject would probably help.

"Thank you Annabeth for being focused." Percy said. "Have you heard anything at camp?"

"No." Nico said "you know that the camps aren't talking right now. It's a miracle the fates are letting this call through." As if on cue, the image flickered and asked for another drachma.

I threw another one in and immediately went back to tell everyone my strategy. "So look. You, both of you" Will and Nico both looked at me with straight faces... as straight as they could be anyway (both boys being gay). "Are going to get a search party and find Tyson and Ella. Rachel is going to be part of this search party."

"Wait, what about me?" Percy said desperately "he's my younger brother."

"No. You're on a quest and have school. The quest being the more important of the two. We can't leave to look for them." I looked at Percy and have him a small sympathetic nod. "But we are going to be the ones to rescue him. And Ella. That will be the big end of this quest."
