Desperation is a state of despair, one that results in rash and extreme behaviour. It is what we resort to in the most precarious times in our lives. It is the year 1998 Hogwarts had fallen. Under Dumbledore's order, Hermione Granger returns back to 1944 to try and prevent Tom Riddle from becoming Voldemort.

My name is Alex Jackson. Yes. I am a Jackson. Yet I don't find that fact important. This is important: Only the Olympian know of my existence, and a few living demigods, who let's just say the gods prefer dead. One other person knows: Nico di Angelo. The Son of Hades The one I never thought I would fall for.

"You're a demigod. What's your name?" "Mackenzie." The boy in front of me narrows his eyes as if he is debating on a decision. Black hair falls into his face but he doesn't move it. He is twisting his skull ring around and around on his finger. Finally, he holds out his hand, gesturing for me to take it. "Come with me."
