Our Fairytale Ending

Epilogue- Our Fairytale Ending

"How dare you say that the little mermaid is better?" The young 11 year old blonde haired girl said angrily. Her sea green eyes looked like a storm was brewing inside them.

"How could you say that finding Nemo is better, then?" Her twin sister countered, her grey eyes flashing just as angrily as her sister's.

"Oh gods, both of you can shut up because documentaries about Architecture are way better than either of those stupid movies!" The fifteen year old boy said at last. Unlike his sisters who both had blonde hair, his hair was black but his eyes were sea green. Though he looked like a miniature version of his father, Luke's personality was very much like his mothers.

The twins gasped. "He called our movies stupid!" They said in sync. "Dad!"

"Luke, Bianca, Zoe." Percy chided playfully as he pushed the trolley carrying all of their luggage. "You three stop fighting."

They stopped In front of a brick wall. On one side of the wall was platform nine. On the other side was platform ten.

"Well, how do we go-" Zoe started.

"-Into Platform Nine and Three Quarters?" Bianca finished for her sister.

The only difference between Bianca and Zoe were their eye colour and their love for different movies. Zoe had grey eyes while Bianca had sea green eyes. Zoe loved the LittleMermaid and Bianca loved Finding Nemo. Other than those two facts, you'd never be able to tell them apart.

"Watch and learn ladies." Luke said. He casually walked over to the wall and leaned against it and disappeared into the other side.

The twins gasped.

"Mom-"

"-Dad!"

"How did he-"

"-Do that?" Zoe and Bianca said finishing each other's sentences.

"What I'd like to know is how you two do that?" Annabeth said in amusement.

"Oh-"

"-this?"

"Uncle Travis and-"

"-Uncle Corner taught us!"

"I should've known." Annabeth muttered. "Let's go now. Bianca, you come with me."

Bianca obediently took her mother's hand and they ran through the wall together closely followed by Percy, the trolley and Zoe.

On the other side of the platform, strange people in robes and pointy hats were bustling around everywhere as they loaded their luggage and said their goodbyes. An old fashioned steam engine was in front of them with the words Hogwarts Express written upon it.

"Hey, where'd Luke go?" Bianca asked as she looked around and noticed that he was no where in sight.

"Probably rushed off to see his friends." Annabeth said.

"C'mon let's go find him." Percy said.

***

Everyone else was already there. The rest of the seven, Calypso, Thalia, Nico and Lisa had come to see them off.

Piper and Jason were with their fifteen year old daughter Silena who had thick, brown, curly hair and electric blue eyes. Leo and Calypso with fourteen year old Bekandorf with his black hair and brown eyes and scrawny figure depicting Leo. Hazel and Frank with their two year old son Sammy. Harry and Ginny with, James, Albus and Lilly. Ron and Hermione with Rose and Hugo. 

Then of course, the two pairs of newly weds. 

Nico, standing next to a familiar boy with a messy mop of golden blonde hair, Will Solace. They were hand in hand, looking like they'd each hung the moon - and it looked like they weren't about to let go all too soon - or ever for that matter.

And beside them, Lisa, gripping the arm of a girl named Willow with deep brown skin and hair curled into an extravagant bun, as thick and frizzy as the splendour of leaves atop a Willow tree. Lisa was pointing at something in the crowd, and whispering in Willow's ear, and Willow was laughing, focused solely on the woman beside her like Lisa was the only being worth her attention.

(A/N: I fixed it. For new readers who may be confused by the existing comments, Lisa and Nico ended up married before this edit (which i assure u was before i was aware of solangelo), but no longer! Solangelo is eternal! So Nicks and Lisa are both gay, and they both married variations of the name Will which was actually totally accidental, I didn't realise until it was too late, sorry!)

Lily and Hugo were talking about which house they'll get put into when they finally go to Hogwarts.

Bianca and Zoe immediately rushed to Rose and Albus to say hello.

Luke, Bekandorf and Silena were talking and laughing, recalling events that had happened the summer before at camp.

"Hello dudes and dudettes and fellow human beings!" Percy said as he and Annabeth arrived beside their friends.

"Hey dudette!" Leo said giving him a fist bump.

"Not cool, man. Not cool." Percy said as what Leo had said sunk in.

"Hey, Perce!" Harry said giving Percy a man hug as Annabeth was crushed by the girls.

"Hey, Mate!" Ron said greeting Percy with Frank and Jason.

After they said their 'hi's and 'hello's, they listened to Lily and Hugo talk about getting picked into Houses.

"If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you. But, no pressure." Ron interjected into their conversation making Hugo and Lily laugh.

"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed.

"He doesn't mean it." She and Ginny said to the grim faced Rose and Albus.

"Look who it is." Ron whispered to Harry nodding in the direction Draco Malfoy was standing in with Astoria and his son Scorpius who looked every bit the part of Draco, save for the wonderfully kind smile on his face and his beaming eyes.

Elsewhere, Luke's, Bekandorf's and Silena's friendly conversation had suddenly turned into a shouting match between Silena and Luke as it usually does on a daily basis with Bekandorf stuck in the middle of it all.

"Miss Fashionista!"

"Mr Kelpy!"

"Sparky Junior"

"Seaweed Brain Junior!"

"Pinecorn head!"

"Fish face!"

"Perfume bottle!"

"What the hell?!"

The next second, they were giving each other a hug and going back to being best friends. Percy winked at Jason who in turn whispered, "If your son ever hurts my daughter, Jackson...I swear I'll-"

"Don't worry about it, Grace." Percy said with a smirk. "I'll teach him to open the door for her. But you should start with the wedding invitations."

"Percy, as much as you're my best friend, I'll have no choice but to kill you if you continue." Jason said.

"Oh come on, dude! You're pulling the over protective dad card!" Percy complained.

"Which is what I'm supposed to do." Jason reminded him.

Piper and Annabeth however were placing bets on whether it'll take their children 5 years or longer to get together.

Just then, James appeared, out of breath. "Hey!" He said. "Teddy's back there. Just seen him! And guess what he's doing? Snogging Victoire!" When no one reacted, he said, "Our Teddy! Teddy Lupin! Snogging our Victoire! Our cousin! And I asked what he was doing-"

"You interrupted them?" Ginny asked. "You are so like Ron."

"-and he said he'd come to see her off! And then he told me to go away! He's snogging her!" James emphasised.

Several minutes later, they got ready to board the train. James, Rose and Luke were already on the train having said their goodbyes. Harry was talking to Albus about something that was evidently serious.

Bianca and Zoe had stayed behind. "Dad." They said to Percy seeing as Annabeth was busy hugging and pestering an embarrassed Luke.

"Yes, my little mermaids?" Percy asked, kneeling down to their height.

"What if we're not sorted into Gryffindor?" The twins asked as one - which was, in hindsight, actually pretty creepy.

"Alright, listen up. Bianca Hades Jackson and Zoe Kronos Jackson. You two were named after four of the bravest heroes I've ever known." Percy said in mock seriousness.

"That's our real name?" They asked confused.

(A/N from the future: You guys, I was KIDDING, this is the kind of stupid humour 14 year old me had. I'm laughing so much right now,  I love you all <3)  

"Nah, I'm joking guys!" Percy said. "And if you aren't in Gryffindor...well, who cares! I don't care! Your mother would be just as happy if you were in Ravenclaw too, though I must say, I wouldn't highly approve of that. The whole answering a riddle to get inside thing is really getting into my head and I don't know what's wrong with Annabeth. She must be nuts to think that-"

Percy's ramble was interrupted by the twins. "Uh, dad...you may or may not wanna look behind you."

Percy slowly turned, an expression of fright clearly showing on his face.

A certain blonde haired person was staring at him with her intimidating and beautiful stormy grey eyes.

"Uh...hey Annie. We were just um...talking about how...uh...amazing you are." Percy said laughing nervously.

The twins were watching their parents with a highly amused expressions.

"Hey look!" Percy said suddenly. "Luke's owl has escaped. Oh no! I'd better go!" With that he ran off towards the owl that was locked up perfectly fine in its cage.

Nico approached from behind, hand in hand with Will, laughing at the scene before him. 

Bianca immediately lit up. She ran over to give her god father a massive eleven-year-old hug. Zoe followed her sister close behind, eyes shining like starlight. Annabeth watched from a distance, smiling, a warm feeling she couldn't describe swelling in her chest. 

"I was listening to the whole Gryffindor dilemma." Nico told the twins, kneeling down beside them and pulling Will down with him. "And Percy gives crap advice."

Will shrugged, "Sometimes, he says intelligent things."

"Sometimes." The twins agreed solemnly. Though their eyes told how truly they loved and adored their father.

"Whatever house you're sorted into," Nico said. "It doesn't matter. You will both always be you, and there's no denying that. If Gryffindor, then it will be for your bravery, the same bravery my sister had when she risked her life to save her friends. If it's Slytherin, then it will be for your ambition, the same ambition your mother has in abundance." 

Nico smiled up at Annabeth and Annabeth could not stop grinning. 

"If it's Ravenclaw, it'll be for your unconventional intelligence and creativity, the same intelligence wielded by Zoe Nightshade.And if it's Hufflepuff, well as much as Percy's unwilling to say anything to you about it, it will be for the same loyalty your father bears. The never give up hero gig." 

The twins smiled, both of them glowing like the stars were just hung upon them. 

"Thank you, Nico." Bianca said, touching her small hand to his cheek. Nico felt his sister's love and smiled at the second chance he'd been given. 

Zoe smiled wider and held on tightly to her twin sister's other hand, as if she'd made the solemn oath to protect her younger sister with her life.

Annabeth looked over to Harry and a beaming Albus. It appeared their talk had gone just as well.

The train whistle blew for the last time. Albus, and the twins got on quickly. Students were sticking their heads out from the windows to say their final goodbyes.

Last promises were made to write letters and the children were showered in kisses from their parents.

The train moved away from the station. Rose, James, Albus, Bianca, Zoe and Luke were still waving madly as they disappeared around the corner.

Percy sneaked back around and put an arm around Annabeth's shoulder.

"I guess we got that Fairytale Ending after all, huh?" He asked her quietly.

"Yeah, I guess we did." Annabeth looked up at her husband and smiled. "But why do I feel like this is just another beginning?"

Percy gave her his trademark trouble maker's grin. "A new era of trouble for Hogwarts, huh?"

Annabeth laughed and kissed away his smirk. There were no words they could put to this feeling, but the looks in their eyes spoke to each other and they both understood.

Fairy tales aside, there was nothing that could compare to the feeling of being here with each other, with their friends and their families, at the end of something past and at the start of something new, endless possibilities stretching beyond their years, feeling the weight of the world lift from their shoulders because finally, finally - they were content and wonderfully free.

And hey, the first rule of Percy Jackson. Never say it out loud when things are actually going your way, so they simply smiled at each other. But it was enough - there was certainty in the air.  

All could not have been better.
