A.N: Hi guys, glad to see (mostly) good reviews on the last chapter and I know people have been wanting for more of this story. Sadly, I'd already posted the final chapter of the story on Pat-reon before I posted the first one on fanfiction. Still, glad that people liked it and for the record, I have a few Percy Jackson story ideas that I want to try in the future, check my test chapters for a few of them. Anyway, this is the final chapter of this story, hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a review.

Thundramon: That's why I'm casting her, truth be told I'd like for her to play Athena, I think that would be great.
TwinstarDragon: OOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!
Home of the Brave: Agreed.
Will you be my new dad? - Part 2
"Percy, honestly, I'm fine," Sally said with an amused look as Percy dabbed her face with a wet tissue, funnily enough, she was actually feeling a bit better.
"I'm going to look after you," Percy said stubbornly, sticking his tongue out at her.
"If you insist," She chuckled just as Harry entered the room.
"Hmm, what's up, Doc?" Harry asked Percy.
"I'm fixing Mum's face," Percy said proudly. "She needs it, it's a nice one." He couldn't help but add.
"Hmm, it is a nice face," Harry agreed whilst a small blush appeared on Sally's cheeks as Harry walked over. "Allow me," He tapped her face with his finger and her bruise healed instantly.
"Whoa! How'd you do that?" Percy blinked.
"Magic," Harry told him.
"So, what exactly are you?" Sally couldn't help but ask.
"I'm a wizard," Harry answered bluntly. "Or at least, I used to be."
"Wow! Do you have a wand?" Percy asked, sounding amazed.
"I used to, don't need one anymore." Harry shrugged before turning to Sally. "So, what would you like me to do with Gabe? The police are on the way here to arrest Gabe, if you want you can tell them everything, or I can stop them and send them back. It's up to you," He told her.
"Oh please, please let them arrest him!" Percy said hopefully, clasping both his hands as he appeared to be praying to Sally. "Please!"
"I..." Sally let out a sigh before looking at Harry. "Percy really will be safe no matter what, right?"
"The spell will last for a long while," Harry told her. "By the time it fades he'll be in Camp Half-Blood and will be safe there," He explained, he could see that while Sally was happy about the spell and Percy's safety, she was less happy about the fact that he needed to be sent away.
"Does he have to go there?" Sally asked softly. "Can't he stay with me forever? Can't you just keep recasting this spell of yours and..."
"Sally," Harry cut her off. "You know who he is, you know what he is, he won't live his best life couped up in some apartment. He needs to go there. I'm sorry, but you know that that's the way it has to be."
"What are you guys talking about?" Percy frowned. Sally stared at Harry for a long while before turning to Percy.
"Percy, sweetie, there are a lot of things I need to talk to you about." She said, taking a deep breath. "Let's start with your father, his name is Poseidon and he is a god."
"Now, remember, don't tell anyone at work about you being a demigod or about Harry being a wizard, got it?" Sally told Percy as they walked hand in hand to her workplace.
"Got it, Mum, zip the lip!" Percy said brightly, making a zipping motion over his lips, causing Sally to laugh. She was really happy with how happy Percy had been these days, ever since Gabe was gone, she had noticed that Percy had really been far more energetic and cheerful. Though, with that being said, the young demigod was sometimes too energetic for her and if he wasn't kept busy would end up running all around the apartment until he tried going down to Harry's place which would usually result in her having to catch him before he could make it there.
While she didn't have a problem with Harry - quite the opposite, he was such a nice man - she knew that he was too nice to say honestly if Percy was bothering him or not. He didn't appear to be bothered by her son but she didn't want to risk upsetting the man that had done so much for them.
"Ah, hello Sally," Doris, one of her co-workers, greeted her as they entered the shop. "Aw, and you've brought little Percy," She smiled.
"I'm not little, I'm growing," Percy huffed, crossing his arms and staring at Doris who very slowly picked up a small bar of chocolate and waved it at him. "Okay, maybe I'm a little bit little." He decided before holding his hands out and catching a chocolate bar and tossing it into a bag that his mother had given him.
"I heard about that dratted husband of yours," Doris told Sally, an angry look on his face. "The nerve of him to hit you, I hope he rots in jail for a long time."
"Either way, the divorce papers are being worked on," Sally told her neutrally, just glad that it was all pretty much over.
"Good, then once you're ready you can go and find someone else, someone better I hope," Doris told her. "Not that that'll be hard," She muttered.
"Yeah, then Mum can get a new husband, I think you should choose Harry," Percy said matter-of-factly.
"Percy!" Sally blushed.
"Who is this 'Harry'?" Doris asked, intrigued.
"It's nothing, I..."
"He's awesome!" Percy exclaimed to Doris. "He moved in downstairs and he punched Gabe and he helped Mum after Gabe hit her and he has this really cool sword in his apartment and..."
"Percy, that's enough, please," Sally sighed before chancing a look at Doris who was waggling her eyebrows at her.
"Harry, huh?" She asked with a smirk. "He sounds nice,"
"He's just a friendly neighbour," Sally explained after taking a deep breath. "Percy's just taken a liking to him, that's all."
"Of course I like him, he punched Gabe!" Percy grinned.
"Hello Eric," Sally greeted their landlord as they spotted him coming out of the apartment complex on their way back home. "I've been meaning to speak to you about the rent,"
"What about it?" Eric asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, Gabe was supposed to sort it out but since he...you know...went to jail...it's up to me and I don't get paid until tomorrow so I was hoping it was possible for me to give you the rent tomorrow instead of today." She explained apologetically.
"Mrs Jackson, the rent's been taken care of already," He said, sounding surprised she didn't know.
"W...what do you mean?"
"Mr Potter took care of this month's rent for you," He told her.
"Oh," She blinked, sounding quite surprised.
"I told you he was awesome," Percy grinned up at her.
"Right," Eric smiled. "I'll see you both later," He said before walking off.
"Doris said that you should go on a date with Harry," Percy told Sally as they started walking to the apartment complex.
"I'm sure she did," Sally sighed, about to enter the building when the door opened to reveal Harry.
"Oh, hi guys," Harry said before stepping back and gesturing for them to come in.
"Hi Harry!" Percy smiled as he rushed in and hugged Harry. "What are you doing?"
"Going out for a walk," Harry chuckled, patting Percy on the back. "What about you?"
"Mum took me to the candy shop!" Percy grinned. "I got tons of candy, do you want some?" He offered once he finally let go of Harry.
"No, thank you," Harry told him before turning to Sally. "Mrs Jackson," He nodded to her.
"Please, call me Sally," She told him as she entered. "I hope everything's okay with you,"
"More or less," Harry nodded.
"Um...before you go, I wanted to ask you something, you...you paid my rent?"
"Well..." Harry ran a hand through his hair, looking somewhat embarrassed. "I did sort of get rid of your husband for you so I thought that I would cover this month for you."
"That really wasn't necessary," She told him. "I mean...I don't want to sound ungrateful, I am very grateful, but I feel bad now that you've spent your money on us. I'll pay you back tomorrow,"
"That's really not necessary, I..."
"I insist," Sally cut him off, a smile on his face. "I appreciate your help, but I'm not the kind of gal who is happy to let a white knight fix everything in my life. It's why I didn't take up Percy's father's offer of an underwater palace,"
"Fair enough," Harry nodded. "I...well...I hope you don't think I'm trying to...you know...make a move on you or anything. I just...well...I'm trying my best to do what's right instead of what's easy, you know?"
"Right, of course, completely understand," She quickly nodded. "I get it, I'm trying to do the same."
"Me too!" Percy cut in, waving his hand in the air.
"Anyway, I won't keep you two. See you later." Harry added before walking out the door.
"Mum," Percy groaned. "You could have asked him to marry you,"
"Look, Percy, I know you like Harry, but that doesn't mean I'm going to marry him," Sally said patiently.
"Why not?" Percy frowned. "He's nice, and he's awesome! And he helped us."
"Look, Percy, it's a bit complicated to explain," Sally sighed as the two walked to the elevator. "But I can't just marry him because of that. If that was the case then I would have had to marry anyone that helped us. Besides, I'm getting divorced, I think it's best to wait a little while before I start looking for a new relationship, do you understand?" She asked hopefully.
"Hmm, okay," Percy said after a few moments of silence.
(Time skip)
"Hmm," Harry hummed as he heard a knock on the door interrupting his TV time, a quick look into the wards he had set up let him know exactly who it was. Without getting up from his sofa, he waved his hand and the door opened, revealing an eleven-year-old Percy Jackson standing there in a blue school uniform with a school bag in his hand. "Alright, squirt?" Harry asked as Percy walked in, the door automatically closing behind him.
"I am never going back to that school again," Percy huffed, dumping his bag on the floor as he walked over and plopped down next to Harry.
"Why not?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm not going back there, not after what the principal just said to me," Percy said stubbornly, crossing his arms.
"Oh yeah, and what did he say?"
"He said 'You're expelled'. Like...how dare he?!" Percy grunted, causing Harry to laugh. "It's not funny!"
"Of course not," Harry chuckled. "Well, don't worry about it, plenty more schools for you to go to."
"Plenty more to get kicked out of," Percy rolled his eyes. "Why do I even have to go to school anyway?"
"To get an education so you can get a degree or whatever," Harry shrugged.
"Why do I even need one of those?" Percy huffed.
"I don't know, the job people want them for whatever reason," Harry replied. "Anyway, where's your mother?"
"She's still at work," Percy frowned. "I sort of came home early,"
"Hmm," Harry hummed. "You want to go see her?" Harry offered.
"What?"
"Well, you're clearly in a bad mood, I think a little bit of candy will cheer you up, you in?" Harry asked.
"Fuck yeah!" Percy grinned, putting his hand on Harry's arm.
"Don't swear," Harry told him before the two blinked out of existence and appeared in an empty alleyway. "Come on," Harry told him before they walked forward and headed into the shop.
"Oh, hello Percy," Doris blinked as she stepped out from behind the counter. "What are you doing here?" She asked, Percy shifted for a moment before he answered her question.
"School finished early today," He said as innocently as possible, Doris gave him a doubtful look before looking up at Harry.
"And who are you?" She asked politely.
"Oh, that's Harry," Percy answered before Harry could.
"Harry Potter," Harry nodded to her.
"Oh, that Harry?" Doris smiled brightly.
"Excuse me?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Percy and Sally are quite fond of you, you know," Doris continued to smile. "Tell me, Mr Potter, are you single?"
"Um...yeah, I..."
"Well, so is Sally," Doris said, "I think the two of you would make the most lovely couple," She stated matter-of-factly.
"Oh wow, you went straight in there," Harry blinked.
"I tell Mum that as well, but she's stubborn," Percy added with a frown just as the woman in question walked up to them.
"Percy, Harry, what are you doing here?" She asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Percy came home early and decided to visit my place," Harry explained. "I figured that since my emergency lemon drop stash was getting a bit low, we could come and see you."
"Oh," A teasing smirk appeared on Sally's face. "Are you sure you weren't just trying to get rid of Percy?" She asked jokingly.
"Mum!" Percy groaned.
"No, your little munchkin doesn't bother me much," Harry replied, ruffling Percy's hair. "I just thought it's better for everyone involved if he spends time with you instead. If you're busy I can take him back to my place until your shift's finished?"
"Oh, how thoughtful of you," Doris said, looking impressed as she looked back and forth between Harry and Sally.
"Okay, what have I missed?" Sally asked knowingly.
"What? Nothing," Doris said innocently. "I was simply telling Harry earlier how fond you and young Percy are of him,"
"Well, yes, he's a good friend and..."
"And you're both single as well,"
"Doris!" Sally sighed.
"You are both single," Percy pointed out.
"You two would make a great couple," Doris shrugged.
"That's what I said," Percy agreed.
"Guys, stop it, I'm sure Harry is not interested in..."
"I'm up for it if you are," Harry spoke up.
"Exactly, and I...what?!" Sally blurted out as she stared at him.
"If you're interested then I'm up for giving it a try," Harry answered.
"What? Really?"
"Why not?" Harry asked confused. "You're a smart and intelligent woman and a good parent,"
"I just..."
"Say yes!" Percy and Doris cut in together.
"I..." Sally paused and took a deep breath before smiling at Harry. "Not until you ask me properly," She said with a grin.
"Hmm," Harry grinned back. "Okay, Jackson, if that's how you want to play it. Sally Jackson, will you please honour this humble man before you with the pleasure of taking you out on a date?" He asked dramatically.
"Oh god," Sally said as she examined her hair in front of the mirror, she looked at her clothes, she was wearing blue jeans with a white blouse and her favourite brown jacket. "I look horrible!"
"You look great!" Percy told her, handing her a hairbrush.
"I feel underdressed," She admitted, Percy frowned.
"Mum, he's taking you bowling, not to a fancy restaurant."
"Percy, I haven't been on a single date since Gabe," Sally groaned while sorting out some stray hairs.
"You'll be fine," Percy patted her back just before a knock came from their door. "He's here," Percy grinned before going over to the door and opening it to reveal Harry dressed in casual clothes.
"Alright, squirt?" Harry asked, ruffling Percy's hair just as Sally stepped into view. "Hi Sal,"
"Hello Harry," She said, somewhat nervously. "Sorry, if I'm underdressed or..."
"Nah, you look amazing," Harry waved her off easily. "So, is Percy coming with us?" Harry asked.
"Percy?" Sally blinked. "Well...I thought that..."
"It's up to you," Harry told her.
"Well, do you want to come with us to bowling?" Sally asked Percy.
"Oh, is that alright?" He asked, looking between the two adults. "Sure, let me get ready," He decided before quickly rushing to his room to get changed.
"Why did you invite Percy?" Sally asked Harry. "Not that I'm complaining," She quickly added.
"Well, I just know that the little guy means a lot to you," Harry replied. "I thought he could help us get over first date jitters and the like, plus I want you to know that I understand that he is and always will be your first priority here, if you want to bring him on our dates then that's up to you."
"Dates?" Sally repeated. "What makes you think there will be more than one?" She asked teasingly.
"The look in your eyes is a pretty good hint," Harry smirked.
"Well, perhaps on our next date we can leave Percy home and have it just between the two of us," She suggested. "That is if you don't mind?" She smiled brightly at him.
"Not at all," Harry smiled back.
(Time Skip)
"So, are you guys going to be okay by yourselves?" Harry asked, having teleported Sally and a twelve-year-old Percy for their annual holiday in Montauk. Sally always took Percy here once a year, and Harry saw no reason for them to break the tradition. "Do you need anything?" He asked. "I can go and get you guys some food or whatever," He offered.
"No, we're perfectly fine," Sally said, kissing Harry on the cheek. "You go and do whatever it is you handsome wizard types do when I'm not here,"
"Sure," Harry smiled before patting Percy on the back. "Look after your mother, okay?"
"Of course," Percy smiled, though his smile faltered for a bit. "Harry, when we come back, can I talk to you about something?"
"What is it?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing important, I think," Percy told him.
"If you're sure," Harry gave him an odd look. "Alright, I'll see you both later," He told them before teleporting away.
"Damn," Percy groaned as he walked around Camp Half-Blood, following behind this girl Annabeth who was explaining everything to him. As he did, he took a moment to recap the last few days.
Percy had been doing relatively well in his new school, sure his grades weren't anything to shout about, but they were at least decent. He had developed his routine, stop Grover from getting bullied, go to classes, stop Grover from getting bullied, resist the urge to break Nancy's nose, do homework, and then go to sleep. But things started to change when the class was taken on a field trip to a museum, somehow Percy ended up sending Nancy straight into a fountain of water without touching her. For a moment he wondered if Harry's magic powers had started rubbing off on him, but he quickly realised that it was likely his demigod powers.
Then one of his teachers took him to a room away from everyone else and turned into some monster that tried to attack him, his Latin teacher then rolled in on his wheelchair and tossed him a pen that turned into a pretty dope-ass sword which he used to cut the monster into dust. Things from there got weird, whenever he brought up the name of the teacher, people looked at him like he was crazy. Even Grover denied her existence, but he knew that he had seen her. For a moment he wanted to contact Harry and ask him about it, but had decided not to. Percy supposed that that was the bit of himself that he had inherited from his mother, not wanting everyone else to solve his problems for him. Though now, he was regretting it.
After he had left school he ditched Grover who had been acting way weirder than normal, once he had gotten home he had put it out of his mind for a while so that he and his mother could go on their yearly vacation. He had at least planned on telling Harry after their vacation had finished, that was when things went shit. A storm had been brewing outside and the next thing Percy knew, Grover had arrived which prompted Mum to start panicking and she immediately tried to call Harry on her phone, which was a good idea, except there was no working signal, something that was very odd given that it had been working an hour before. The next thing he knew they were in a taxi racing to Camp Half-Blood, the demigod camp that he had been told about,
Just as they were about to get there the taxi was attacked by a minotaur of all things, the mortal driver had been knocked out but thankfully alive. After pulling him out of the car, Percy turned his focus on the others, knowing that the minotaur wouldn't be at all interested in your average mortal. Grover had unfortunately also been knocked out, Percy had been really confused as to why the minotaur had attacked him, wasn't Harry's spell supposed to last until he reached camp or something? He wasn't at camp yet!
It turned out that he wasn't the minotaur's target, the minotaur had rushed straight for his mother and picked her up before she vanished in a flash of gold light. Instant rage hit Percy and he leapt on the minotaur, ripping off one of its horns from its head before he stabbed him with it, causing him to burst into golden dust right before Percy did the only obvious thing he could do in the situation, pass out.
He had woken up in camp where he met Annabeth, Grover had been there as well, and it wasn't long before he met Chiron the centaur, AKA his old Professor who had been hiding his horse half in a magical wheelchair of all things. And now he was on a tour with Annabeth, truth be told the camp seemed pretty fun and Percy probably would have enjoyed it a lot if he wasn't so worried about his mother, she couldn't be dead, could she?
"And that's pretty much the tour," Annabeth told him. "What do you think?"
"It's great, I mean really, I like it but..." Percy trailed off.
"You're worried about your mum," She guessed. "For what it's worth, she might be alive, the way you describe what happened, I don't think she died."
"Same," Percy nodded, happy that at least one person shared his opinion. "I just want to work out a way to get her back, you know?"
"You could go and rescue her on a quest," Annabeth suggested. "I think that..." She was cut off as a large pulse seemed to shoot out from close to the divine cabins, shaking Percy and Annabeth violently.
"What the hell was that?!" Percy blurted out.
"The camp protections!" Annabeth gasped. "Come on!" She grabbed his hand and started running with Percy following right behind her.
The two campers arrived in time to find nearly every camper plus Chiron aiming their weapons at the hearth that the divine cabins surrounded. Mr D (AKA Dionysus - God of Wine, and full-time asshole) was there, trying hard to not look as bothered as he obviously was. As for the fire in the hearth, it had grown significantly and turned an emerald green colour.
"Campers!" Chiron yelled, keeping his bow and arrow steady. "Stay ready!"
A second later a foot stepped out of the fire and touched the campgrounds, another pulse shot through everyone, causing even Dionysus to shiver. The body attached to the foot stepped out as well and Percy gasped as he saw who it was, standing in the camp, dressed in his usual casual clothes, was Harry! Though he looked far different than normal, a small wind appeared to be blowing right by his head, shaking his messy hair. His emerald eyes were glowing brighter than flashlights and Percy could feel his power from here, and yet he somehow knew that this wasn't even a quarter of Harry's power, somehow he knew that this wasn't even the tip of the iceberg.
"Who are you?!" Chiron demanded shakily, struggling to keep his bow still.
"Where is Percy Jackson?" Harry asked, slowly, calmly and yet very powerfully, there was a sort of magic in his voice, Percy wouldn't be surprised if people halfway up the state could hear him. "Bring him to me, now."
"You're in no position to make demands," Mr D stepped forward. "I..."
"Quiet," Harry said firmly and Mr D's lips snapped shut. One girl, a big one holding a spear with what appeared to be an electric tip, jabbed her weapon at him from behind, only for it to snap upon impact, dropping to the ground. Harry glanced back at the girl who quickly stumbled back a couple of steps, a second later her spear flew into the air and repaired itself before floating back into her hands. "Don't hurt yourself," He told the girl before putting his attention back to Chiron and Mr D. "I'll ask one last time before I go about finding the answer in a less than polite way, where...is...Percy Jackson?"
"Harry!" Percy quickly called out, rushing forward so that Harry could see him. Everyone believed a collective sigh of relief as the air in the camp appeared to get a bit lighter, the wind had calmed down and Harry's eyes were no longer glowing.
"Percy," Harry smiled as Percy rushed forward and hugged Harry who hugged him back. "Good to see you," He told him. "Now, I see you finally came to camp?"
"Yeah," Percy muttered before letting go and looking up at Harry. "But Mum...she was kidnapped and..."
"I know, I've got a few ghosts that let me know what's going on in the underworld, that's apparently where your Mum is. Don't worry, that's what I'm here for," Harry told him. "Let's go get her back,"
"Now?" Percy asked hopefully.
"You got something better to do?" Harry snorted.
"Excuse me but who are you?" Chiron asked, having finally lowered his bow along with the rest of the camp.
"No time for introductions I'm afraid," Harry tossed Chiron a card. "In case you need me. Anyway, let's go Percy." Harry said before he and Percy teleported out.
"Chiron, who was he?" Annabeth asked, walking up to Chiron who was now looking quite pale as he read the name on the card.
Mr Harry James Potter.
Hogwarts Graduate of '98
Master of Death.
"Whoa!" Percy blinked as they landed and he took around to look at their destination. It was a very beautiful place, was it heaven? It looked like heaven. "Where are we?" He asked.
"Olympus," Harry told him honestly.
"What?!" Percy blurted out. "Why are we here?!"
"To get your mum back," Harry answered as the pair started walking forward, ignoring the odd looks they were getting from the local Olympians. "Typically, I like to allow the Olympians to do their usual thing, don't want to just barge in and take control, you know? I don't butt in, I stay out of things and I just live my life. But I've come to greatly care for you and your mum, and what has happened has royally pissed me off." Harry told him as he walked Percy into what looked like a large throne room with twelve large chairs shaped in a U position, each with different designs.
"So...what now?" Percy asked.
"Gods of Olympus, time to sort out your shit," Harry announced as he clicked his fingers, a boom echoed throughout the room before the previously empty thrones were suddenly filled up. A second later, all the thrones were suddenly filled by three-meter-tall people. "Percy Jackson, meet the 'Gods of Olympus'," Harry told him. "There is Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Hermes, and you'll remember Dionysus." He said, introducing each one of them. Percy took a look at all of them, each looking so different from each other. His eyes couldn't help but linger on Poseidon for a few moments longer than the others.
"What?! Who are you?!" Boomed Zeus, making Percy flinch as the god's voice echoed throughout the room. "How dare you summon us here, mortal?!"
"Where is Hades?" Harry frowned, ignoring Zeus. He waved his hand and suddenly Hades himself appeared a few meters away from him.
"What in my name is..." Hades trailed off as he saw Harry. "...P...Potter?! I...forgive me," He quickly bowed his head, shocking the other gods.
"The fuck?" Ares blurted out.
"I was not expecting to see you," Hades said, raising his head, and speaking in a respectful voice.
"Most don't," Harry smirked before looking around. "Where is Hestia? She's the only one of you Olympians that I actively like,"
"Consider me to be flattered," A voice said as a girl who appeared no older than nine walked into the room with a pleased smile on her face. She had mousy brown hair and fire-red eyes that looked like they had flames in them, she wore a brown dress and a scarf.
"Hestia," Harry dropped to a knee so they were the same height, she placed her hands in his as he smiled at her. "It's a pleasure to see you again, how have you been?"
"Oh, same old as the mortals say," Hesita explained smiling back. "I just tend to my duties,"
"You could try speaking with the campers at camp," Harry suggested. "I'm sure they'd enjoy your presence better than that one," Harry gestured with his head to Dionysus.
"I mean...he's right," Dionysus said blankly before shaking his head.
"Hestia, who is this man?!" Zeus demanded.
"Zeus!" Hestia admonished disapprovingly. "Be more respectful to Mr Potter," She told Zeus who looked a bit stunned.
"Sister," Poseidon spoke up. "Perhaps it would help if we were introduced to this man," He suggested calmly.
"Dad?" Percy whispered to himself, Poseidon glanced at him for a second before quickly looking back at Hestia.
"Perhaps," Hestia hummed. "Lords and Ladies of Olympus, allow me to introduce you all to Mr Harry James Potter, a wizard from Britain, though you may all be more interested in his title. 'Master of Death,'"
"Master of..." Zeus blinked violently as he stared between Hestia and Harry. "But...wouldn't that be Thanatos or Hades? I mean..."
"No," Hades cut in. "Thanatos is the 'God of peaceful death', I am the King of the Underworld and god of the dead and riches. Mr Potter over here is THE one in charge of death, his power is greater than all of ours."
"Stop, you'll make me blush," Harry smirked briefly before staring at Hades. "Sally Jackson," He said, Poseidon straightened slightly whilst everyone stared at him. "Bring her to me, now," He ordered Hades.
"At once," Hades nodded before clicking his fingers and Sally suddenly appeared, looking dazed.
"What am I...Harry?! Percy?!" She blurted out.
"Mum!" Percy ran forward and hugged her tightly, she hugged him back, albeit a little confusedly. She looked around and realised where she was.
"Holy crap, I'm in Olympus..." She realised as she saw the gods staring at her, she looked around before stopping on one in particular. "Poseidon?"
"Sally," Poseidon inclined his head, unable to stop his lips from curving into a smile, he turned to Harry. "Thank you, Mr Potter."
"Don't thank me yet," Harry said as he walked over to Sally and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Are you okay?" He whispered.
"Um...I've been better," She blinked before looking around. "What's going on, Harry?"
"Oh, don't worry about it, I have to just settle a few things with these people," Harry explained calmly.
"Settle a few things with us?!" Zeus demanded. "We are the 'Gods of Olympus!'."
"And I am the end of all things, keep in your lane, boy," Harry said warningly.
"This has nothing to do with you!" Zeus hissed angrily. "This is about Poseidon's spawn stealing my bolt!"
"You have no proof he stole your bolt!" Poseidon snapped at him.
"You had a child! Breaking our sacred oath!" Zeus yelled.
"What the hell's Thalia supposed to be then?" Percy wondered, only to pause as he realised that he had blurted that out loud.
"You dare?!" Zeus thundered as he stood up. "I should squash you into...archgh!" He gasped as he suddenly found himself back on his chair with a hand grabbing him by the neck, he looked up into the blazing eyes of Harry Potter who was now equally as tall as him.
"You will not harm anyone in my presence," Harry growled, his power spreading outwards, causing the surrounding gods to gulp and freeze in place. "You're lucky I haven't incinerated you for even considering such a thing, no more threats! Understood?" Zeus stared with wide eyes into Harry's blazing emerald orbs, the King of Olympus found himself experiencing something he had not experienced in a long time, fear. The fear of someone more powerful than him, sure he knew that there were beings more powerful than him, but he kept out of their way enough that he'd never have to meet them and on occasions when he did he'd have a backup in the forms of the other gods. But right now, he could tell that the gods in question would be no help for him, they were all as frozen as he was. Frozen like mice that had realised they had just caught the eye of a very big cat.
Zeus nodded, hating himself for it.
"Good," Harry smirked, an instant later he was back to normal and standing next to a stunned Percy and Sally. "How about you two go home? We'll catch up later." He suggested before waving his hand, causing the two to disappear. "Now," Harry turned to the gods. "Let's sort your shit out."
Percy blinked violently as he suddenly found himself back in his mother's apartment, standing there as if he hadn't just met the biggest and strongest beings in the universe. He took a moment to look around and saw that it was all pretty much the same as before he left, not a single noticeable difference. As he looked around he remembered that his mother was now here as well.
Without a thought, Percy launched himself at her and pulled her into a tight hug, one that she quickly returned once her mind had started functioning again.
"Wow, today's been a heck of a day," She muttered to herself, causing Percy to snort.
"You can say that again," He grinned.
"Wow, today's been a heck of a day," Harry groaned as he walked into their apartment, he'd walked in to find Percy and Sally sitting together on the sofa, hugging each other.
"Harry!" Percy blurted out along with Sally, letting go of each other to look at him.
"Hey," Harry greeted as he closed the door before walking in and dropping down next to Percy. "Sorry, I'm late, I had to deal with a lot."
"What happened? Are you okay?!" Asked Sally, narrowly beating out Percy.
"Hmm, oh, I'm fine," He waved her off. "Just a bit annoyed. Gods of Olympus, dumbasses of high importance more like," He told them. "First off, Ares the God of War had an ancient and powerful being whispering in his ear and messing with his mind, so that's great, obviously, and it turns out the one who stole Zeus's stupid bolt was a son of Hermes who wanted to revive Kronos and overthrow the gods. So now, I decided that I'll be meeting with the higher powers so I can petition for them to be put under supervision."
"But...I thought the gods were the highest powers?" Percy blurted out.
"They wish," Harry snorted. "They're immortal and incredibly powerful children basically, that's it. Either way, I've sorted out their mess, or at least the most currently pressing one. They've done a lot of crap over the years,"
"But...Percy is safe right?" Sally asked quickly. "Right?"
"Far safer than your average demi-god," He assured her.
"Oh good," Sally said, letting out a huge sigh of relief. "I was worried, obviously we couldn't have the wedding without him and..."
"Wait, what?!" Percy interrupted. "What wedding?!"
"Oh," Sally blushed. "Well...Harry and I...we were planning to get married, he had proposed and we were planning to tell you after our trip."
"You're marrying my mum?" He turned to Harry.
"That is what she said," Harry nodded. "I'll need a best man, you up for it?" He asked with a grin.
"So, we're going to be a proper family? Will you be my new dad?" Percy asked intensely.
"If you want," Harry told him. "I have got the gods to agree to start meeting their children so you can expect Poseidon to start visiting, he'll always be your father, but if you want another dad then I'm here."
"Bloody hell!" Percy blurted out with a wide grin. "This is great, but I have to ask one thing,"
"What?" Sally and Harry asked.
"Can the wedding cake be blue?"
A.N: Hi guys, hope you liked the story. It was a bit rushed, I admit, that's because I was doing my best to keep the story as two chapters. Either way, hope you all liked it.
