》Riptides《 A Harry Potter Percy Jackson Crossover

Blue Majik

Percy's POV

Of course, I didn't fall asleep, I just sat and watched Mango purr in his sleep for about, oh you know, 7 hours. But it was quite possibly the most refreshing thing I've done in a while.

For gods, especially the Olympians, years are like days. Maybe even hours. Because they have lived so long, they don't realize how much time has passed. They might confuse a month for a decade because they live so sluggishly fast. But ever since I became a god, it was the opposite. Life has slowed down, almost lacking urgency. Perhaps it's because I have no one to worry about but my mom and Paul. And Nico, I still worry about him, even if he has Will.

And if I'm not his type! (A/N I didn't include that little scene but let's pretend it happened)

Suddenly, I hear a meow.

But it isn't coming from the sleeping Mango, it's coming from the door.

Is there another cat living here?

There's a slight scratching sound on the wood now, so I get up and open the door.

Mrow?

There's a large, orange cat staring up at me, its head tilted.

Ooh, another cat!

I try to reach down and pet its back, but it hisses at me, slightly arching.

Okay, no touching, yikes.

The new cat pushes past my legs to wake up the still sleeping Mango.

There is some shuffling, some sniffing, a few more cat noises, and suddenly Mango and the orange cat are besties.

Huh

They are now completely ignoring my attempts to pet them and seem to be having a very important discussion.

I wonder what they're talking about.

I remember, oh yeah, I'm a god, whoops. So I alter my [species→language] to CAT, and boom, I am the cat.

Orange Cat: So, who's that guy

Mango: I dunno, he bribed me with food or something

Orange Cat: Is he your person?

Mango: I guess so.

Orange Cat: Were you a stray or something?

Mango: Eh, kind of, I ran away when my old owner-

I decide I don't want to know if Mango's old owner mistreated him, and I change myself back.

I'm slightly disheartened that our whole relationship is based on bribery with food, but honestly, what relationship isn't?

I sigh, leaving the cats alone and walking out the door.

I do still need to find out who exactly this Voldemort guy is...

I find a library filled with dark arts books and whatnot. Thankfully, there were multiple books about him, though they all painted him as some sort of savior. He was basically the leader of a cult trying to commit genocide. (A/N Yes that's what I think when I think about Voldemort, you're welcome for making your life simpler.)

He was also killed-but-not-really by Baby Harry (after killing Harry's parents which explains a lot about Harry) And after Harry started attending Hogwarts, he's been attacked every year by the almost-but-not-really-dead Voldemort. And he 'came back to life' last year.
