Quotes from book

Mind Talking between Familiar/Bonded

Percy was shifting on the hospital beds that the healers at Saint Mungo's Hospital had set him in. He still felt faint, and a headache was blossoming in the back of his head, but all he wanted was to go home.

Madam Bones finally left after making sure he stayed in bed for two days, Harry was at school and finishing the last few days. He was aware that his father was in the hospital but after persuasion from his teachers, would visit him on his scheduled day out which was in two more days.

The problem was that Percy's ADHD was demanding him to move and not stay bed ridden. He was probably a really bad patient, but all Percy knew he really had to do was go home and grab his hidden Nectar and Ambrosia stash and just take a small bite of it and he would be as right as rain.

So, Percy shifted enough to dangle his legs over the bed, thank gods the wizardry hospital was slightly different from a normal one in regards to clothes. Because all the rooms had magic runes in them to keep them sterile and clean, and make anything in them that way, he didn't have to change into the gowns that Mundane Hospitals had patients wear. If the healers did ever need to get to his body, they use magic to vanish the clothes if need be.

With everything still on him (including his hidden knife), Percy shifted and put his weight on his legs. The headache became a pounding, and made it harder to concentrate, but Percy didn't want to risk his powers becoming unstable due to him not healing. They always acted up a bit when he wasn't feeling well. He can recall when he was thirteen and had gotten the flu for a week that every time he sneezed, water would shoot out from the faucet in the entire house. The one time he threw up during that time apparently one of the toilets had exploded.

That wasn't counting the time that he had a nightmare during his sleep because of a fever that he caused a minor earthquake in New York. Let's just say, Percy didn't want his powers acting up, even with the control he had because he was older. They always one way or another acted up when he wasn't feeling alright.

Putting his weight on his feet, Percy clutched the bed's headrest and steadied himself. He held in the dizziness that swam through his mind and slowly breathed through his nose.

Centering himself, Percy let go of the headrest and grabbed his jacket from the seat next to the bed. His vision blurred slightly but Percy was always stubborn as he grabbed his jacket and went through the motions of wrapping it around himself. Just as he fixed the cuffs, the Lethifold that had hidden itself in the corner of his room in the shadows settled along his shoulders.

"I'm not getting rid of you am I?" Percy muttered as he felt the Lethifold helped straighten his body to not accidentally fall over from the dizziness.

"Woah, Percy, what in Merlin's name are you doing?" Remus asked with a startled look as he came into Percy's room.

Percy examined his friend and current crush, noting the lack of dark circles around his eyes and that he seemed more content than the last full moon even with the pack. "You seem good?" Percy asked while subtlety changing the subject.

"Yes, well, I'm sure it's just a one time thing," Remus said uncertainly as his hand steadied Percy as he tilted just a bit too forward even for the Lethifold. "You need to rest," Remus worriedly said as he tried to lead Percy back to his bed.

"Which I can get at home. Please, Remus, I do not like hospitals. It makes me feel too confined which then makes my ADHD worse. They won't even let me do anything, I just want to go home," Percy said trying not to sound desperate. In truth, he really did just want to take Tylenol (or he supposed Ambrosia) to get rid of the headache and then just sleep for a week.

Remus looked uncertain. "Please, Remus," Percy pushed, this time adding the puppy-dog eyes his mother hates because she usually surrendered to them.

Remus set his mouth as he stared at Percy before he gave a soft nod. "Alright, but if you feel worse, we're right back here or I call Hogwarts Nurse who also has a mastery in the subject."

"Okay, yeah, I can agree to that," Percy said as he rubbed his forehead, hoping the pressure will help.

With their plan set, Remus helped Percy to the floo and helped discharge him, even making sure Saint Mungo's knew that Percy wouldn't be left alone and that he will be right back if he gets worse. They didn't like it, but Percy was also a Mundane and they couldn't really help him as much as they wished. It wasn't perfect, but it was a plan.

As soon as they arrived to Percy's house, Remus helped him to his bedroom and helped settle him on the bed. "Can you grab me some water please?" Percy asked softly as he rubbed his forehead once more.

"Yeah, I'll be right back," Remus said softly. "You can change in the meantime, I'll knock when I'm back."

With that, Remus left the room. Percy quickly changed and went to his closet and the hidden safe behind his clothes. Entering the date he found out he was a demigod (as no one would be able to guess that) Percy quickly grabbed the flask that contained the Nectar of the Gods.

Closing the safe and taking a few sips, Percy felt the headache lift slightly but not disappear all together. Frowning, because the rest of his body felt great just not his head, Percy walked toward the bathroom and grabbed the pack of Tylenol.

He took one of the pills and set the package next to his bed before hiding the flask inside the drawer in case he needed more. It would be risky, but Percy felt better with it in his reach rather than in his safe.

Just as Percy slipped back in his bed a knock resounded around the room. "Come in," Percy said and rubbed his eyes. It seemed the headache was also making it harder to concentrate.

"I have your glass of water," Remus said as he sat on the edge of the bed and handed the glass to Percy.

"Thank you, Remus," Percy said gratefully and took shallow gulps. While he might be the son of Poseidon and couldn't drown, he could very well get an upset stomach if he drank too fast. The logic was weird, but Percy did get an upset stomach once and his friends never let him live it down.

"I'll be downstairs, but I'll check on you each hour," Remus said as he watched Percy drink the water before setting the glass on the bedside table.

"You can have the guest room. When you exit here it'll be on your left. Harry's room is right in front of yours. Any news on Sirius or Peter yet?" Percy asked.

"Peter's trial will be the day after Hogwart Students are released. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement did inquire about having Harry as a witness in the upcoming trial, along with your statement regarding the Godfather Oath and how you discovered it. But because Harry's a minor, any name will be left out of the official report the public gets. The witness account would only be between Harry and Amelia in her office only she would have his name on record. No one else would know who the statement came from. But we can talk more about that when you're feeling better, get some rest, Percy," Remus said softly but a tone of command was in it as well.

"Aye, aye, O' Captain, My Captain," Percy muttered sarcastically as he felt exhausted. The trip from Saint Mungo's to his home did leave him feeling tired.

Remus just rolled his eyes and let Percy rest, keeping his word as he checked on the man each hour.

-------------------------

"We, the Wizengamot have come here for the trial of Peter Pettigrew and the trial of Sirius Black. Bring in the accused," Madam Bones called.

Usually the Chief Warlock would take lead over the Wizengamot, but because the trial was regarding the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, the Head of the Department would take over as leader of the Wizengamot.

Two aurors brought in Peter Pettigrew who were in handcuffs that spelled against turning into an animagus. As they sat Peter in the chair, the handcuff split into two different parts, each staying on Peter's wrist as the aurors binded Peter into the chair.

"Let the trial of Peter Pettigrew, begin," Madam Bones said. From there, the trial started. No guests were allowed inside the actual trial, but Percy, Harry, and Remus were waiting in the chamber outside that didn't allow any animagus or report inside. Harry was leaning against Percy wondering what the end result of the trial would be.

While the could've waited at home, there was something about hearing the news first hand that would feel more like relief. To know that the real Secret Keeper of the Potters would be imprisoned, never to hurt Harry again just filled Percy with a sense of ease.

They sat in silence and waited for the verdict of both trials.

-------------------------

"This has concluded the trials of Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. Court dismissed. Aurors take the guilty party away," Madam Bones said with a note of finality in it.

The aurors grabbed the accused and dragged him away, while the other one scrambled over to Madam Bones.

"Come, we need to tell the others the verdict," Bones said stiffly and saw the male nod silently.

-------------------------

Madam Bones opened the door to the waiting room and saw Harry sleeping against Percy while Remus had jumped from his seat. "What was the verdict?" Remus asked just reminding himself to be polite and not demanding.

"I'll let the results speak for itself," Madam Bones said amused and move to the side.

There, wearing a relieved grin, was the grey eyed, black haired Sirius Black. Remus gave a happy sort of sound that made Percy melt slightly in his seat as Remus grabbed Sirius and pulled him in a hug.

Percy felt a small frown tugged his lips downward for a second before he was forced to stay in a smile. His heart thudded painfully in his chest that seemed to combine with the pounding of a headache he had as he watched Remus hug Sirius.

Turning away from the two, Percy rubbed Harry's shoulder softly. "Harry," Percy muttered in his son's ear.

"Hmm?" Harry made a sound as he rubbed his forehead in his father's shoulder, making a noise of discomfort having been awoken.

"Someone wants to say hi to you," Percy muttered as his head guided through Harry's hair in a way that made him melt.

"What?" Harry murmured sleepily, finally opening his eyes. He blinked them open as he made eye-contact with Sirius.

It seemed the two best friends had stopped hugging in favor of Sirius slowly approaching to Harry and kneeling before him. "Hello, Harry, I know we should've met under better circumstances. But I'm Sirius, your Godfather," he said softly.

Harry stared at Sirius with side eyes before leaping from his seat, dislodging his father's arm, before wrapping his arms around Sirius in a fierce hug. It took a bit of time, but Harry had eventually forgiven Sirius and Remus for their round-about-way of showing Sirius was innocent. Neville might take a bit longer to forgive them, but his leg had healed up nicely according to the Healers.

Percy watched with a sad look crossing his face as Sirius returned the fierce hug himself. Percy felt like he was intruding and wondered if this was what single-parents might feel like when their kid first meets their other parents.

He wondered briefly if Sirius was going to try to take Harry away from him (and probably succeed seeing as he has an oath for Harry and by the Will was to take Harry if something ever happened while Percy was just a muggle in the eyes of the Ministry, having nothing to really show for protection or reason to keep Harry).

Percy tried to shake the thought off, but it just made the headache pounding away in his mind worse enough that Percy furiously rubbed his forehead. He was startled when a hand touched his shoulder, "You alright there, mate?" Sirius asked Percy in concern.

"Yeah, yeah don't worry about it," Percy said without much hesitation as he waved his hand in a show of disinterest.

"Alright. I want to properly thank you. For everything you've done. Taking care of Harry, looking for the oath I made, proving my innocence," Sirius said with a determined face.

"Don't mention it," Percy said with a grin that didn't quite reach his eyes. He was getting tired and really wanted to take some Tylenol. He knew he couldn't have more Nectar, it didn't seem to be working on the headache that hasn't disappeared in the two weeks since his stay in Saint Mungo's. He's failed to tell Remus because there didn't seem to be anything that could help it, Percy was just waiting for it to disappear.

"Alright," Sirius said with a frown, taking in the deep circles under Percy's eyes and felt concern.

Madam Bones chose this moment to step in. "Mr.Black here will have to go through a few months of Legilimency and Mind Healing before he can take back his Lord status. Should we be working on adoption for Mr.Jackson-Potter?" Bones asked. While the men couldn't tell, Amelia Bones was hoping that Black wouldn't take Harry away from Percy. From what she could tell, Percy was the type of parent that Harry needed.

Harry himself seemed surprised by the fact that Sirius could adopt him before moving closer to his father and glaring slightly at Sirius. Not the Sirius noted as he instantly said, "That won't be necessary."

Amelia just nodded and left the family to deal with the fallout of the trial. Reminding herself to send a parchment about the details of Sirius' Healing Appointments, remembering him in school she knew he would try and get out of it.

"I think we can continue this more at home, Percy, you're sure you're alright?" Remus asked in concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Percy said with a fake grin. While he felt relief that Sirius wasn't going to take Harry away from him, he was feeling tired of the day's events.

"Alright, after you Moony," Sirius said with a grin as he looked at Remus with a soft look as the man walked to the Floo System.

Percy ignored the way his heart felt a bit like lead as he headed home.

-------------------------

Apparently, the first thing Sirius wanted to do after taking a shower was plan a party. Remus just seemed exasperated but Percy didn't really care. All he asked was if he could invite a few of his own friends to which Sirius agreed easily seeing as they were using Percy's house and pool (it was at the opposite side of the stables) for a BBQ/Pool party.

From there Percy invited his cousins and the rest of the seven, most agreed but Hazel, Frank, and Annabeth couldn't make it. Frank because of his Praetor duties and the fact as Reyna had gotten pretty sick, Hazel because she really didn't want to go without Frank, and Annabeth because her boss was working her overtime with his new building she was planning.

Which left Leo, Piper, Jason, Thalia, and Nico joining him. He even mentioned to Sirius about being friends with his cousin Narcissa and her family to which Sirius instantly invited them and then Andromeda and her family as well.

Then invited Harry's friends so he and Draco wouldn't be the only children there. Percy almost wished his mother, Paul, and Helen (Percy's little sister) weren't going on a book tour around the world during the entire summer.

With the planning left to Sirius and Remus, Percy just bought what they asked for and some Muggle snacks like chips, pizza, and got the hot dogs and hamburgers. If they were going to have a BBQ, then they were going to do it right. Percy even made his blue cookies too, though his son hoarded quite a bit of them from what he noticed.

Which meant Percy was able to rest most days, his headaches seemed to be getting worse, often having his exhausted because it was also difficult to fall asleep with it.

Percy rubbed his forehead as he manned the grill with the hot dogs and hamburgers on it. A fire whiskey next to him laying untouched as part of him so badly wanted to just go to his quiet room and lay down with the lights off where no sound could reach his ears.

"Dude, you alright?" Jason asked suddenly next to him.

"Hmm, yeah. Don't worry about it," Percy said as he refrained from rubbing his forehead.

Jason had frowned but then noted Piper by the pool in her bikini. "Excuse me, cuz," Jason said with a small grin before he crept behind Piper before pushing her softly into the pool.

Startling her so much that she shouted at Jason to jump into the pool, Jason following the command without hesitation and the two of them then getting into a splash fight that was then joined in by the children having a blast in the pool.

"If you need to rest, I can take over," Sirius said picking up Jason's spot and watching the children, mostly Harry, with a fond expression.

"If I let you handle it, I wouldn't have a house left," Percy said dryly as he remembered the one and only time he let Sirius into his kitchen. Let's just say, he had to have Leo come a few days earlier for the party to help repair the kitchen.

Remus joined the conversation, a look of worry on his face. "I can help him. Percy you look like you need some quiet. I doubt you'd get that with all the children screaming in the pool or the talking the adults are doing. Just a few minutes won't hurt will it?" Remus asked in concern as he set his hand on Percy's shoulder.

Neither of the two noted Sirius amused expression. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt," Percy said with a frown. He still didn't trust to two of them with the food though.

"Thalia!" Percy shouted as he tried to spot his spiky haired, sixteen looking cousin.

"You called, Seaweed Brain?" Thalia asked pausing in her conversation with the young looking Artemis who had joined Thalia while her Hunters camped in the woods. After they heard about Percy's offer, Artemis decided she would 'crash' the party as her brother generally described it.

"Can you handle the grill? I'm going inside for a bit?" Percy said as he rubbed his forehead from a particularly painful throb.

"Sure, you look like shit anyway," Thalia said without remorse, ignoring her Lady's glare for her language.

"I'm sure. Thanks, Pinecone Face," Percy said as he handed her the tools in his hands.

"Whatever, Kelp Head," Thalia said while giving him the finger to his back.

Remus and Sirius shared amused looks before Sirius went to go talk to his cousin Narcissa and Andromeda who seemed to be getting along, if a bit awkwardly due to Andromeda being kicked out of the family.

However, Remus walked toward the house where Percy had disappeared, feeling concerned. He's noted Percy's rubbing his forehead a lot lately and knew he was having trouble sleeping.

Remus found Percy laying on the couch, one arm blocking his eyes while the other rubbing his forehead harshly. Remus just sighed softly and made his way to the couch and carefully lifted Percy's head to rest in his lap.

Percy made a curious noise but didn't stop Remus as he moved Percy's hand from his forehead and took over the motion instead. "I think you should see someone about whatever is wrong with you?" Remus said softly, knowing Percy probably wanted it to be as quiet as possible.

"Will, Nico's plus one, is a Doctor," Percy muttered, "I was going to talk to him first. If he doesn't have much idea then I was going to talk with someone else." Percy left out the fact it would've been his father that he would talk to, not wanting to explain why his dad would know more than any Healer in the Wizardry World or a Doctor in the Muggle world.

"Alright, I just don't like seeing you suffer," Remus muttered as Percy made a pleased noise at a particular motion Remus was making on his forehead.

"I don't like suffering either. Seems we have common ground," Percy joked as his muscles slowly relaxed as his headache was slowly being abated and less painful. "Thank you," Percy muttered.

"You're welcome," Remus whispered back. They stayed in silence until Sirius poked his head in and told them that the food was ready.

"Will you try and eat? I know you have skipped some meals," Remus asked Percy.

Percy sighed but didn't remove the arm over his eyes. "I suppose I should try. Can you get me a glass of cold water?" Percy asked.

"Yeah, give me a second," Remus said as he shifted Percy off his lap and quietly but quickly makes his way to the kitchen.

During that time Percy clenched his teeth as the sudden pain came back tenfold. Great, there goes his relaxed state. Just as he was about to give up and just get up, Remus was back and handing Percy the glass of water before rubbing his forehead once more.

"Thanks," Percy said as he gulped the water down, feeling his body become slightly more rejuvenated and his headache subside just a little bit more.

"Are you ready?" Remus asked.

"As I can be. I'll probably talk to Will soon so if you see me disappear for a bit, don't worry. Will probably just took me someplace quiet to answer his questions," Percy said.

"Alright, I'll get you some of the softer food," Remus said as he set the glass down on the table in front of them and helped Percy slowly stand up.

-------------------------

Percy rubbed his forehead tiredly. Will had no idea what was wrong with him, of course, he also didn't know much about Dementors like wizards so that was part of the problem. He had managed to leave a message with Triton (who actually looked worried when Percy didn't respond to his usual taunts) that their father would try and stop by and see Percy soon,

Percy didn't know how much longer he could deal with the pain. It was now roughly two weeks he's had the headaches and it was starting to take its toll on him. He was exhausted most days and the worried look Harry had hasn't left the past few days.

Remus was a godsend, often having Percy's head in his lap and just rubbing his forehead for a while that Percy was able to get in small naps.

Sirius even helped by making sure most rooms' lights were off and that he would take care of the Pegasus. Blackjack was worried, but knew he couldn't really help out as Darling was showing signs of being pregnant again (a miracle itself as most Pegasus only have a foal, let alone three. Especially as Diana, the youngest so far, was stubborn and barely let anyone touch her let alone ride her).

Harry was the one who often cooked food, having enjoyed the lessons he had gotten when he was younger and not forced to cook. His grandma Sally loved teaching him their Family Secrets which Harry took to heart and memorized. He often brought Percy light food that wouldn't upset his stomach.

Percy was thankful for his family, along with the fact that Sirius just seemed to slide into their family easily, especially since Percy had given him and Remus their own rooms making it official, they were part of their chaotic family. Enough so that Percy planned to tell them his heritage when he was feeling better.

-------------------------

Percy was lying in bed with Remus rubbing his forehead when his dad finally came. It took him two days apparently to finish whatever he had been doing. Though, the surprise came when Triton had also came.

"Percy?" Poseidon asked as he opened the door, Sirius was behind both Poseidon and Triton looking curious while Harry just had relief in his eyes.

"Dad?" Percy asked behind his closed eyes.

"Hey, Kid. Let's see if I can figure out the problem," Poseidon said gently as he sat next to Percy on the bed, giving a small nod of hello to Remus who was curious but withheld his questions for now.

Instead, he took a moment to take in the man in front of him, apparently Percy's father. Seeing them side by side, Remus could really tell they were family. He had the same Sea Green eyes and Jet Black hair that Percy had.

The jaw-type that Percy had he had gotten from his father. The slight aristocrat look that most Pureblood families in the wizardry world had. Though, Percy's was a little bit less sharp around the edges, probably from his mother. But if Remus had met Percy's father on the streets in Diagon Alley, he would've assumed the man was from a Pureblood Family.

"You'll feel a tingle, it's just me seeing if I can tell what's wrong. Alright?" Poseidon said softly.

"Okay," Percy muttered feeling miserable.

"Poseidon Olympian. Can you do me a favor and move your hand?" Posiedon asked softly to Remus.

"Remus Lupin," Remus said as he moved his hand from Percy's forehead and frowned as Percy made a sound of discomfort.

As soon as Remus' hand was moved, Poseidon placed his own hand on Percy's forehead and Remus watched in surprise as Percy just untensed fully. He even saw a small glow coming under Poseidon's hand as it connected with Percy's forehead.

"Triton," Poseidon spoke with a frown, "get a bath started and make the temperature similar to that of the ocean. Uh, roughly 17 degrees Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Percy will need to go in that while I see my brother. Percy's where is that knife that Nico gave you?"

"Uh, safe in closet," Percy said with a furrowed eyebrow as he tried to concentrate.

"Combination?" Poseidon asked as he moved his hand from Percy's forehead and nodded toward Remus to help subside the headache.

"Day I found out about you," Percy said as he made a pleased noise from Remus' ministrations.

Poseidon looked amused. "Of course you'd chose that date," he muttered as he pushed aside Percy's closes and opened the safe. He instantly grabbed the dark purple knife that was inside it.

"I'll be right back, when Triton says the bath is ready have Percy get in it. It's help his headache immensely until I come back. I shouldn't be long," Poseidon said.

"How will you not take long?" Sirius asked confused.

Poseidon's lips quirked in a smile. "I'm sure Percy can explain when he's feeling better. Until then, I'll be right back."

With that, Poseidon left the room and the two adult wizards noted a golden glow under the door that he had shut behind him. Both wanting to check it out but knowing that Percy needed them more.

Triton came out of Percy's bathroom. "It's ready, Percy, can you stand?" Triton asked with concern as he looked over his half-brother.

While he hated Percy because he was the embodiment that his father didn't truly love his mother one hundred percent, they were still family and only Triton could harm his little brother. To see him feeling this sick, the Hero of Olympus Twice Over, made Triton's heart constrict with worry. He was just glad he hadn't told Tyson yet, who knows that the Cyclops would do if he found out his big brother was hurt. Probably try and hurt the thing that is hurting Percy, but not understanding that he couldn't.

"I can stand," Percy muttered.

With the combined help from his family, Percy moved into the bathroom. Not even bothering to shed his clothing, Percy just climbed in with the help from Triton and allowed himself to get wet.

"Cold," Percy muttered softly but the feeling was quickly subsiding as the rush of power was starting to run through his body.

He generally doesn't take baths, as showers were often quicker and made sure he didn't spend an hour under the water, but he really should've thought about how a bath would've helped him.

His headache was quickly becoming null the longer he stayed in the bath. "Why cold?" Percy asked his brother, finally opening his eyes and not be bothered by the light that Triton left on.

"Your body needed the jump boost of the ocean. There's some salt in the water, but it's mostly the cold that would jump start your powers into helping more.I don't know what's wrong, but you seem to be doing better," Triton said as he sat at the edge of the tub.

"I am," Percy nodded and gave a smile towards Remus. "I did want to thank you guys though."

"It's no problem, you would've done the same if it was one of us," Remus said with a small blush on his cheeks as he looked away from the wet Percy.

Triton raised his eyebrow and made eye-contact with Sirius. "It's been like this for almost the entire time I've been here," Sirius mouthed to Triton.

Triton hid a grin and instead, turned toward his Little-Brother's crush. He was older than Percy, Triton would guess just a little more than 3 years but probably less than 7. From what he remembered, Percy should be turning 29 this year. The man had light brown hair that was flecked with gray. His eye color was green and...Triton narrowed his eyes...apparently a werewolf as well. Of course Percy would fall in love with a werewolf that hasn't harmed anyone, it was just like him and his savior complex.

Oh boy, he couldn't wait to make fun of Percy if the two ever got together and he would have to tell him about the little fun fact about children of the Sea. Because the sea never had a real gender, any children of the sea always had a little gift of being able to impregnate another and be able to birth children themselves. How else would it be possible to impregnate the sea when Zeus threw the severed testicles of the Titan Chronos into the ocean and out came Aphrodite. Triton himself could bare children if he so wished, heck, he had once for his wife who was also a child of the sea.

-------------------------

Poseidon took the knife from Percy and traveled to the room in the Underworld where the gods were allowed to request a meeting with Hades. They couldn't go past the room and actually enter the underworld, but it was the closest the gods could go.

"Can you please fetch my brother, I fear it's quite urgent," Poseidon said politely to one of the skeletal guards around the place. They couldn't harm any godly being, but they did stop monsters from entering or exiting, which Poseidon supposed was good.

The skeleton left the room, it's bone clattering against the tiles as it moved. The spear it had been holding swinging slightly awkwardly as the skeleton had no muscles to really move it steadily.

Poseidon summoned a chair for him to sit down, but his foot was tapping away on the ground. He would summon some water to help calm his nerves, but summoning one elements in his brothers domains were always sketchy to them. Apparently they believed he would drown their whole place or attack them with said water. Make one honest mistake when he was learning his powers for the first time and you will never live it down.

"Poseidon, what are you doing here?"Poseidon's elder brother, Hades, asked.

"I would like your help. It regards Perseus," Poseidon said as he stood up from his chair and let it go back to where he had summoned it from.

Hades frowned as he examined his brother and his fingers were twitching from nerves. It's been a while since he's seen his younger sibling this ansty. "What is wrong with Perseus?" Hades asked.

While he didn't particularly like his brother's offspring, Hades would say that Perseus would probably be the only exception. He had respect for the boy to come into his domain as the age of 12 and demand he return Zeus' bolt and then realized Hades' was also missing his so promised he would find it as well.

When he did find it, the boy had even returned it! A powerful artifact that combined with the bolt would've made him unstoppable with his powers from Poseidon. Then, after the first war, instead of accepting the godly hood, he denied it straight to Zeus' face and then demanded that Hades and his eldest sister Hestia get their own thrones!

The boy never stopped surprising him. Going out of his way out of some sense of loyalty, never accepting the immortality that is offered; instead, thinking of his mortal family and those he cares about. Hades had a deep respect for the boy, especially surviving Tartarus. A place that Hades rarely ever goes to because of just how worse it is than the Underworld that even he had trouble staying in it for long amounts of time.

"I heard through the rumor mill--"

"You mean Hecate," Hades butted in with an amused look.

Poseidon glared but continued from the interruption, "--from the rumor mill that Percy had killed a Dementor in the wizardry world. I didn't think much of it until recently when Triton had contacted me about Percy having headaches since the day he defeated the Dementor. After examining him, it felt like some of the Dementor that is feeding off his mind has wrapped itself around the knife Percy killed it with."

"What does this have to do with me?" Hades interrupted, feeling bored but also worried about Perseus.

Poseidon rolled his eyes. "If you let me finish maybe I could tell you. Honestly, for your age you would think you would have patients," Poseidon said with a sigh as he drew the knife out and showed it to his brother. "it's Stygian Iron, perhaps you could cleanse it for me. I would do it myself but seeing as it gets cleansed in the River Styx..." Poseidon pointedly said.

Hades let the comment roll of his shoulder. Use to his brothers sass that had similarities to Perseus himself as he grabbed the knife from Poseidon. "I will see what I can do. If it doesn't get rid of the Dementor, I will have a new one made for him while we would destroy this knife," Hades said and left the room.

Poseidon took the time to pace back and forth, slightly happy about the fact that the Underworld has slight time difference, not much to be noticeable but enough that he should return back to Percy not too long after he left.

Hades return not long, the knife still in hands but seemed to gleam under the bare lights that were around the room. "It is down. If Perseus isn't feeling better when you return, have him visit me himself. His actual presence may be needed in the World of the Dead before the Dementor's spirit stops feeding from him," Hades said as he handed the knife back to Poseidon.

"Alright. Thank you brother, because what you have done for me I will allow your children to move across the ocean for...let's say 200 years, I suppose we can revisit it again after that," Poseidon said with a slight shrug, not looking overly concerned.

Poseidon never noticed his brothers startled state as he disappeared in a golden light to head back to his son's house.

Hades was shocked at his brother, generally whenever their children tried to use one of his brothers way of transportation, they ended up end. He knew Poseidon never really meant to, he was the sea and the sea was never really forgiving. So the promise that his children would be allowed to move across the ocean without fear, it shocked Hades. Especially as he knew Poseidon always kept his word. Perhaps he might reach out to his brother more often, it had been a long long time since they've seen each other as real brothers. Maybe this was the chance to change that?

Poseidon arrived at the hallway just a few minutes after he left the house. He entered the room and noted the light on in the bathroom.

"Perseus," Poseidon started as he entered the large bathroom. He ignored the other two adult male wizards there that seemed to share a look of how they were totally going to hold Percy's name against him, "it should be taken care of. If you still feel the headache when you exit the bath, then I will need to take you to your Uncle. It seemed that the Dementor you faced, because it was feeding, kept a small hold of you when you killed it. Think of it like a tick, if the tick is feeding when killed, it's head might stay on and feed. The Dementor did something similar, your heritage felt it and was trying to tell you. You're lucky it didn't continue for another week, otherwise you might have fallen victim to the Dementor," Poseidon explained.

"Thank you, dad," Percy said softly as he shifted to stand up from the bath. Most of his energy returning from just being in the cold water.

Triton helped steady his brother and vowed himself slightly to watch over his little brother more often. Honestly, he thought his days of getting in trouble were over, apparently he would have to continue to watch his brother and not just during the school year.

Remus quickly moved to Triton's other side and helped Percy stepped out of the tub. Exhaustion was still clear in Percy's eyes even if he had more strength. "So, what you're saying is that Dementor's are bigger dicks than we first thought. Lovely," Sirius dryly said.

Poseidon looked amused at Sirius and examined the man under his eyes. "You've been in their presence?" he asked

"For roughly twelve years," Sirius confirmed.

"Hmm, as thanks for taking care of my son I can help your mind heal from their damage," Poseidon said as his finger touched Sirius' head.

There wasn't an outward change, but Sirius' mouth opened in shock as he blinked a few times. "Huh. Haven't felt my Occlumency shields in a long, long time," Sirius muttered to himself in surprise.

"I need to take my leave, Perseus, do take care. Triton, are you coming?" Poseidon asked curiously.

Triton glanced around before nodding to his father. "I'll follow you out," Triton agreed as he shifted Percy to lean against Remus in case his weight would be too much for his body when the lack of water de-energized him

"Bye, Grandpa, bye Uncle Triton," Harry said as he gave each of them a hug and felt them return it fiercely, "Thank you for helping Dad."

"Anytime, Shrimp,"Poseidon said with a soft look as he messed with Harry's hair slightly.

It has been a long time since one of his Greek sons grew old enough to have children of their own. He looked over Harry and smiled when the small blessing he gave the boy when he was first adopted had been accepted by his magic. It was still affecting the boy, but Poseidon was happy to note that his grandson could breathe underwater and talk to most sea creatures. Though, he was slightly disappointed to note that was as far as his blessing would go other than him being proficient in water spells. It seemed no storm manipulation or earthquakes were in the boys future but he supposed he had his father for that if needed.

"Later, Minnow," Triton said as he said goodbye to his nephew.

With that, the two immortals left the room and instantly went back to Atlantis leaving Percy there to explain what had happened and just who his family was.

That was the day that Remus and Sirius found out about the Greek Gods and just how much Percy himself knew about war, having survived and been the leader for two of them (though Percy tried to deny that he lead the second one, saying it was a team effort).

-------------------------

"So, I suppose this would be a good time to mention that because of me being put into Azkaban without a trial the Ministry has gifted me with front row seats to the Quidditch World Cup," Sirius said after they celebrated Harry's birthday.

"Saves me the trouble of buying them," Percy said disinterested as he took down some of the party stuff that were around.

They both could hear Harry and his friends upstairs messing around on a game system that Percy had gotten him. He had Leo and Lou collaborate and make it Magic and Demigod Proof in case Harry ever dragged Percy in a game.

"I have to ask, when are you and Remus going out again?" Sirius asked hiding a grin.

After the first month of Percy recovering and then being slightly awkward around the two, Sirius noted that it was when he showed his best friend affection that Percy would become slightly more awkward and seemed disheartened. After that, he had taken to just random comments about Remus being his best mate that Percy figured out they had brotherly love, not the type that Percy originally thought.

"I've told you before, Sirius," Percy started with a roll of his eyes. "You're always welcomed to join us. It's not that type of outing."

"But you want it to be," Sirius said with a grin.

His answer was just Percy sighing in resignation. "Honestly, you're like a school girl. What are we going to expect next, you dress in skirts and pigtails in your hair?"

"I'll have you know I would never wear a skirt, they are the devils work. I've seen plenty of school girls to know that not all of them wear skirts, some wear trousers."

"Look at that, you're old enough that you're talking about your youth. How does it feel to know that you're old," Percy teased.

"I'm sorry, does me being six years your elder threatened you inferior mind. I'll have you know I'll live to be a hundred. Then I'll laugh at you," Sirius said mockingly.

"Demigods, if they life that long, apparently live to be nearly 130. So jokes on you," Percy said with a roll of his eyes.

"That's not far!" Sirius said with a pout.

"Ah yes, because so many demigods live that long," Percy said rolling his eyes.

Sirius pouted turned into a frown at the reminder that his friend could be very well killed any day. He supposed wizards could too with spells, but Percy always has to live his life in fear of monsters. He supposed wizards were lucky in that regard.

"So, when are you asking Remus on a proper date?" Sirius asked changing the subject back to the original one.

Percy just groaned in response.

Note: This is surprisingly nearly as long as Chapter 2: Diagon Alley. Though I suppose it's like, 2000 words nearly off but still up there with my longest chapters made. Also, this chapter mostly followed from the Dementor and had less plans for the Summer, but I think it worked out well.
