This was officially the most uncomfortable day of Percy's life.

-----

"Percy, I don't know what happened to you when you were young, but denying that it ever happened isn't the answer."

It'd worked pretty well for him so far. "Who said anything about denying it?" he asked.

The look Apollo gave him felt almost parental. He pointed in the direction of the throne room. "How many of them know about any of this?" he asked.

The demigod shifted uncomfortably. "None."

"Exactly."

"Really?" Will asked. "Not even Annabeth?"

Percy shrugged.

"Look, those bruises don't come from nowhere," Apollo said. "Whatever happened to you had to have been serious."

"It was. It was messed up," Will interrupted, laughing darkly.

Percy shot him a glare. They were supposed to be playing this down, not making it worse.

"What," Percy scoffed, "and I'm just supposed to trust you?"

++You don't have a choice. A magic talking book with all your secrets written out like a YA novel appears and starts ordering you around, and you're not going to listen to it?++

To that, he didn't have an answer.

++Kid, I am your god++

Percy deadpanned. "You're a book," he corrected.

Annabeth gave him a look. "Don't patronize them," she whispered.

I took the reading the books trope and gave it a little fine wine with its dinner. Time to grow up, kid.

[2] Diverging Paths: Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and the Chamber of Secrets

19 parts Complete

[2] Diverging Paths: Perseus Jackson, also known as Percy, left his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry feeling happy and confident that he had actual friends. However, that was before they seemed to forget all about him. He at least had his brother, Harry Potter, but he too had gotten no letters from their friends. Then one day a small creature wearing a pillowcase showed up in their shared bedroom and told them that they absolutely, positively could not go back to school under any circumstance. Of course, the small creature wearing a pillowcase was resolutely ignored and they went back to school to start their second year anyway. Then things started to go wonky, what with all the strange voices and massive spiders. But then things got even stranger. Water seemed to bend to Percy's will and he kept feeling as if the forest was watching him. DISCLAIMER Note that I do not own anything that was created by J. K. Rowling or Rick Riordan.
