Greeks, Countrymen, Lovers, Monsters? (Sequel to Halfblood IsThicker Than Magic)

Half-bloods and Associated Company

Skye's P.O.V.

I wrenched open the door and beamed at the people standing in front of me. Despite my exhaustion I was glad to see them, even if I didn't know everyone who had come. They were going to be family soon after all.

'Hi,' I said, grinning as Percy, Annabeth and Sally enveloped me in a tight hug. 'I missed you guys so much!'

'I missed you too sis,' Percy smiled as they pulled away.

Suddenly I was hugged by someone that I didn't know. Shocked I looked up to see a tall boy with tight dark curly hair. He looked like a latino elf.

'Hi, Leo Valdez at your service,' He grinned cheekily, giving me a peck on the cheek.

'Leo, get off my wife,' came Nico's exasperated voice from the doorway as he walked out to meet everyone.

'I'm not your wife yet,' I laughed, pecking him on the lips.

'Mmm but it sounded so much sexier than fiance' He murmered, kissing me properly.

'Come on love birds, lets break this party up. I want to meet everyone.' said a burly girl who looked around Percy's age.

'Clarisse give it a break.' Percy groaned. 'She's a daughter of Ares,' he said conspiritorally in a stage whisper so she heard it anyway.

Chuckling I led the half-bloods inside, got run over by Harry, Teddy and George, whom had obviously been roped in to help by Harry, and managed to fight our way through to the back door. Everyone tumbled out into the garden and I popped my head back round the door and yelled, 'Weasleys and Company, get outside now please. I want to introduce you to people.'

The red-headed clan sped outside followed by Harry, Hermione, Teddy, and respective wives and girlfriends, with Molly and Arthur following at a more comfortable pace.

'Okay Half-bloods and associated company,' I announceed, gaining an eye roll from Nico. 'Welcome to England and my family.' Pointing at the wizards ranged behind me I began the long task of introductions, 'So, this is Bill, Fluer, Victoire and Dominique, Charlie and Mira, Percy and Audrey, George and Angelina, Ron and Hermione, Harry, Ginny and Teddy, and Molly and Arthur.'

Percy grinned and introduced his friends. 'This is Sally, some of you already know her, Chiron, Clarisse, daughter of Ares, Jason, son of Jupiter, Piper, daughter of Aphrodite, Leo, son of Hephaestus, Annabeth, daughter of Athena, Grover, he's a satyr, Thalia, daughter of Zeus and Huntress of Artemis, Travis and Connor Stoll, sons of Hermes and  my brother Tyson, a cyclops.'

I looked wearily at the cyclops, but Percy had assured me he was nice and I had no doubt that when he met Hagrid tomorrow they would be best of friends.

'Well okay then people.' I said cheerfully. 'If you guys want to set up your tents then I'm sure we can provide some assistance.' Percy, Bill and Charlie nodded and wandered off to help the half-bloods. 'Everyone else can keep tidying,' I yelled.

We charged back inside and began frantically cleaning once again. At one point we were joined by the half-bloods and finally everything was ready. The kitchen was full of heavenly smells as Molly had been making food ready for tomorrow that could be frozen with a simple charm to stop it spoiling and then heated up before the meal. A large chocolate cake stood on the table and the majority of the Weasley boys, as well as the ones who had been introduced as Leo, Connor and Travis were standing around it drooling.

'Come on boys,' I commanded. 'We need to set up the marquee in the field.'

Leo turned around and gave me puppy eyes, although they looked too mischeivous on him to work properly.

'But it looks so yummy,' he moaned. 'I need it. I think I will actually die without it.'

'You'll survive dragon boy.' said a girl, I think her name was Piper. She was really pretty with choppy brown hair that was braided in places.

'Ow,' Leo yelped as she elbowed him out of his cake stupor. 'That hurt Beauty Queen!'

'You shouldn't have called her that,' a voice called and another bloke walked in. 'Hi I'm Jason.' He smiled gently, shaking my hand.

'Why shouldn't he have called her that?' I asked, genuinly curious.

In reply he gestured to Piper, who was know hitting Leo over the head with a ladel whilst threatening to cut his hair off with a dagger that she had pulled out seemingly from no where. Grinning to myself I pulled out my wand and sent a non-verbal spell at Leo, watching with approval as his hair turned bright pink. Leo screamed and ran out of the room before I could change it back.

Laughing hard, Piper turned back to me. 'I assume that was you?' she giggled.

I nodded and laughed with her as Jason left the room sighing and muttering about girls being strange, presumably he had gone to find Leo to try and calm him down.

I was about to walk outside in order to assist in putting up the marquee but a pair of stong hands grabbed me round the waist and hoisted me into the air.

'Charlie Weasley put me down!' I screamed as he threw me over his shoulder, to the great amusement of everyone in sight.

'Nope,' he said, popping the 'p'. 'Mum's instructed me to keep you away from the Marquee, Nico as well. She said she wants it to be a surprise for you.'

'Can I at least see my dress?' I whined. Molly had bought it for me and was going to fit it in the morning, seeing as the ceremony was in the afternoon. She wanted that to be a surprise as well. Ginny and Hermione had seen the dress but were forbidden from saying anything about it to me. All I could get out of Ginny was that it was white, even though I had made Harry go as a spy to try and get information for me. Unfortunately Ginny had caught on quickly and now Harry had refused to ever spy for me ever again. 

'Nope,' Charlie chuckled, carrying me out of the hall and into the living room. He placed me on a sofa where a very sulky Nico already sat.

'He's upset because we wont let him help put up the marquee up, even though its his wedding.' Charlie said the last bit in a high immitation of Nico's voice, which earned him a sigh and an eye roll.

'Anyway,' Charlie called as he practically legged it from the room. 'We'll come and get you two love birds later when its time for dinner.'

When Charlie had left I leant against Nico who automatically began stroking my hair. It was the first time in a week or so that we had had time just to be alone together.

'Finally, some peace and quiet,' he said, kissing my cheek, making me giggle. 'Now that we're alone I can do this,' he whispered kissing my lips, 'and this,' he ran a finger up my leg, making me shiver.

'And I can do this,' I whispered back with a sultry tone, sliding my hand up his shirt, making him shudder slightly. He leant down to kiss me again when there was an awkward cough at the door. We leapt apart and span round to face a sheepish looking Ginny who had gone the famous Weasley red.

'Harry and Bill asked if you would look after Victoire, Dominique and Teddy whilst we set things up,' she said apologetically. 'They're just getting in the way outside.'

'Okay,' I sighed as she ushered the kids into the room and handed me a restless Dominique.

'There goes the peace and quiet,' Nico said grumpily as Teddy and Victoire began to bicker loudly.

'Come on Mr Happy,' I said, laughing at his disapointment. 'We'll be married tomorrow and then we can go on our honeymoon where no one can interrupt us.'

'Mm, I can't wait,' he replied. I grinned, just one more day until the happiest day of my life.
