Chapter Seventeen: I'm retired.
making up for being dead and not updating by speedwriting and shit :>
Percy's POV—
Percy blinked once, then twice. It took him longer for him to process those words than to read with his dyslexia.
"What?.." He murmured dumbly. "You're a girl?" Lady Chaos smiled sarcastically.
"I'm nonbinary, but I go by she/they." She said dismissively. "Enough of the pronouns, I'm here...well, you already know why I'm here."
"To take over Olympus." Percy replied flatly. He was going to say 'oH mY gOdS tHaTs sO cLiChE,' but then he remembered that he'd rather not be yeeted into the sea of Chaos like Kronos and Tartarus had been, so he decided to be a bit more respectful.
"Yes, very good."
"And what does that have to do with me?.."
"You're Percy Jackson."
Percy had the classic wtf-is-my-life-right-now look on his face. "...no. I'm retired." Lady Chaos glared at him like a mother would to a chaotic gremlin child flushing things down the toilet.
"And yet I see you here, helping out the Boy Who Lived. Why is that?"
"Because Hecate offered me free retirement insurance." Percy said matter-of-factly. Welp. There goes trying to be respectful.
Lady Chaos now had a scowl on her face that could rival Mr. D's.
"Perseus. I am trying to be serious here." She said sternly.
"Okay, okay, sorry. Jeez. What do you want me to do with all this, then?"
Lady Chaos' scowl slowly curved upwards into a smirk. "I don't want you to do anything." Poor Percy was looking pretty done with this conversation now.
"...then what was the point of kidnapping me?!"
"So I could make sure you would keep on your promise, of course. And if you don't.." She trailed off, a threat hanging off the unspoken words. "Well, you won't like what happens next."
"I already don't like what's happening right now."
"That's enough, Perseus!—"
That went on for quite a while.
3rd Person POV—
Hogwarts
"THE PROFESSORS ARE HERE!" Jason yelled as he and Hazel finally managed to pry the doors open. Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick all rushed in, each of them checking up on their respective houses and prefects save for Dumbledore, who was the one who fussed over Harry (obviously).
Luke was still trying to not squirm under the looks of the other students that had heard Not-Sirius call him the Chaos Commander. The poor guy.
Annabeth had her face in Piper's shoulder as the latter comforted her. She was currently trying to not break down right then and there on the spot after the fact that Percy was apparently alive had processed through her brain.
"I- I- oh my gods, Pipes-.." Annabeth's voice was a shaky breath, and Piper just rubbed her shoulder comfortingly.
"It's gonna be okay, Annie-"
Annabeth cut her off with a soft sob, which surprised Frank and Leo. Both of them looked rather concerned.
"Hey, Annabeth, you okay...?" Leo asked tentatively.
"She's obviously not fine, dude.." Frank whispered. "She just found out her ex- that was killed, no less- is alive." A few students glanced over at her with worry and wary curiosity, but didn't say anything.
Malfoy's snobby and self-entitled voice came from behind Hermione, who was trying to get Ron to calm down and not hyperventilate on the spot. "Get out of the way, filthy Mudblood." He sneered, shoving her out of the way. Leave it to him to be his usual male Karen ass self.
"Hey!-" Ron opened his mouth to say something snide back at him, his ears turning a shade red when Draco promptly got knocked over by a tall, Japanese Gryffindor that was passing by.
"My bad." Was all he said before walking out of sight. Draco spluttered furiously as he felt flat on his ass.
"M- my father will hear about this!"
i'm guessing you guys can guess who this new OC is :> *cough cough* Moomind11
Ron's mouth went slack as Hermione huffed and dusted herself off.
"Well, that's sorted." She said, while Ron mouthed, 'that was so badass wtf' under his breath.
Annabeth was still sobbing quietly into Piper's uniform, and Luke had managed to sneak off away from the eyes of the rest of the students. The professors and prefects were quietly chatting with each other, before Dumbledore's booming voice sounded in the ruined Great Hall.
"ATTENTION, STUDENTS OF HOGWARTS. WE WILL BE CONTACTING YOUR LEGAL PARENTS AND GUARDIANS TO TAKE ACTION IN TAKING EVERYONE HOME. NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND, I REPEAT. NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND, REGARDLESS OF AGE. SIRIUS BLACK IS YET TO BE FOUND BY THE AURORS, SO UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: SCHOOL IS CANCELED."
A chorus of murmurs came from around the room, and a "oh no, our OWLs!" came from Hermione. School was canceled? Many of the students were glad to hear that, but most of them were just trying to get over the terror of almost dying by the hands of the notorious wizarding serial killer.
Wonderful, wasn't it?
