Here Comes the Grandson
Third POV
McGonagall and the Golden Trio stood before a decent house with two floors which is the Jackson-Blofis residence. She never told the three young adults beside her why they were here. No one knew what has happened to Perseus Jackson since that last news article so she didn't want to startle the mother. She knew nothing more than the fact Perseus Jackson could be the grandson of Voldemort. Little did she know, he was also the savior of Olympus, twice.
"Why are we here, Professor?" Harry asked in a confused manner. "Is this where the grandson of Voldemort lives?" To be fair, if McGonagall said yes, Harry would have been relieved because this means Mackenzie could be helped out.
McGonagall nodded her head. "Yes, dear. We are here to simply talk to the woman and her son." She raised her hand and rang the doorbell.
"Who is this woman?" Hermione asked standing at the balls of her feet..
McGonagall quickly answered as the door swung open. "Sally Jackson-Blofis."
Hermione's eyes went wide. "The best selling author? Like the Sally Jackson-Blofis? The best selling author of The Lost Son series? She was basing it on her son who went missing for a long time. Perseus Jackson, I think."
McGonagall nods quickly as she faces the girl at the front door. "Um, hi. We're here to talk to Mrs. Blofis."
The girl looked at them curiously and suspiciously. Then her eyes widened realizing immediately who they were, but she ignored it and played along. "Is there something wrong? Please tell me my family is not in debt. I swear I paid everything already." This girl was none other than Crystal Shine Jackson. The daughter of Poseidon.
McGonagall looked at the thirteen year old girl clearly confused. She never knew Crystal personally. She only saw her behind a mask. She didn't know who she really was. "Oh no, dear. We're just here to talk about the Jackson-Blofis family." At this point, McGonagall noticed the golden crown on her head.
Crystal looked at them, narrowing her eyes. "Dad's side or mom's side?"
"Mother."
Crystal leaned on the doorway making space for them to come in. She made an obvious sigh of relief. "Come in and make yourselves comfortable. Just don't make too much noise. There's a doctor in the house checking my brother if he's fine."
McGonagall nodded and sat on the single couch and the trio sitting together on the long couch. Hermione couldn't help but talk.
"That was Crystal Shine. She helped water resources here all over America just because of her Eighth Grade 'Help Save the Earth' project. It is about to move to Britain soon." Hermione blurted out bouncing on the couch.
Ron slapped his forehead. "Not only that, she is the captain of the junior Olympic team of New York. Her co-captain is Percy Jackson of the senior Olympic team of New York. Perseus Jackson I think is his real name."
Crystal came back bringing a tray of Earl Grey tea. "Here, mom's coming out."
Harry frowned. "Did you say 'mom'?"
Crystal nodded. "Yes, Sally Jackson is my mother. Percy Jackson is my brother. I like to lay low. Also since I stick with my father more. Mom and I...we aren't really close that much though we care for each other."
They were interrupted by a shout of a woman none other than Sally Jackson. "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING THE SAME NEWS ABOUT PERCY, WILL!!! I NEED BETTER NEWS!"
Crystal bit her lip and looked down. "Sorry, mom hasn't been herself since Percy was separated from a really close friend. He's acting really different."
A boy with blonde hair the same age as Harry came out looking really annoyed. "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX HIM. I'M SUPPOSED TO KNOW!" Beside him was a young boy with black hair and black eyes.
"He's so close."
Crystal walked over to them. "Hey, um, Nico. Do you mind staying for a little while? I need to ask you some questions in my head."
The black haired boy, Nico, nodded and parted with Will who continued to exit the house. "Nico, how's Percy doing?"
Nico closed his eyes. "Worse. It seems that her leaving really affected him real bad."
Crystal sighed. "How is the search for her doing? They really have to find her before he-"
"He's not going to do it." Nico assured rubbing her shoulder. "I noticed he's been looking this bad yet he's still alive. He's living for her. His doctor said so. The search is really going into dead ends but we're trying our best."
Crystal relaxed. "I just hope we can give him a scene that doesn't remind him of this world at all."
McGonagall's eyes perked up upon hearing this. "We can provide that."
Crystal ignored her and gestured Nico to standby as Sally Blofis entered the living room. "Hello, my name is Sally Jackson-Blofis. You can call me Sally. Now, who are you people?"
McGonagall stood up and shook Sally's hand. "Hi, I'm Minerva McGonagall. We are here to talk about your father."
Sally looked at her confused. "Jim Jackson died in a plane crash when I was five."
McGonagall sat back down as Sally took the seat opposing her. "Well you see, your real father was an evil person who tried to take over our world. He was also a wizard and your a squib. No magical powers."
Nico and Crystal's heads went up in alarm at the same time. "Wizards, you say." Crystal knew about wizards of course. So did Nico, but he doesn't know much.
McGonagall had not the slightest clue that they were demigods. Until, Lord Poseidon himself exited a room with a blue door. McGonagall had to resist the urge to bow in front of him right away.
"Sally, who are these people?" Poseidon asked observing them carefully. "Paul's family?"
Crystal turned to her father. "Dad, they claim they are wizards and that mom's father is an evil wizard who tried to take over the world. Luckily, mom is a squib. And I do hope I'm not a wizard."
Poseidon looked at McGonagall and Sally back and forth. "Um, can I talk to you guys?" He pointed at Sally and McGonagall. "Privately."
Then they entered the room Percy was staying in and talked there.
That left the 'kids' to interact.
"Sooooo," Hermione dragged her voice. "I can't believe I'm sitting in front of two famous people."
Harry coughed in a sarcastic way then Hermione rolled her eyes. "Fine. I can't believe I'm facing three famous people right now. Are you happy?"
Harry chuckled as he asked a question. "You look familiar, Crystal Shine. And you too Nico di Angelo. Have I seen you before?"
Nico is famous for helping out in homicide cases that always left the police in a dead end and is also the brother of Maria.
Crystal shook her head and lied. "No."
Nico was confused and answered truthfully. "No."
Ron just stared at the tempting blue chocolate chip cookies in front of him. "Can I eat those?" He asked practically reaching out to one.
"Yeah sure." Crystal shrugged and looked at her watch. "OH STYX!"
"LANGUAGE!" Nico shouted back then proceeded to cover his mouth realizing his big mistake. "Please don't bring the subject up. Tony is going to kill me of sarcasm."
Crystal burst out laughing. "Jeez, Nico, what are you? Eighty-five?"
"As a matter of fact, I am, young lady." Nico retorted crossing his arms. "Anyways, this eighty-five year old sixteen year old is wondering why wizards are here."
Hermione stood up answering immediately. "We are here to collect the grandson of our enemy and teach him the good ways in order to prevent him from turning into another dark lord."
Crystal was honestly confused. "Did you just say 'Dark Lord'? And who is this 'Dark Lord's grandson'?"
Ron, who just finished gulping down another cookie, answered her. "I think it's Percy Jackson. Professor said we are here to collect a very powerful wizard so I think it's Percy Jackson. He actually has a cousin in Hogwarts. Though she never stayed for the break. She was taken to be watched in the ministry."
Harry continued after him. "Come to think of it, I think you're a wizard already since you're also a daughter of Mrs. Blofis. Though the ministry never knew you existed. I think we are the first wizards to know of your existence."
Nico and Crystal frowned and faced each other. "I'm not a wizard." Crystal said to Nico silently. "I met them actually. With my mask on. Pretty nosy people but they care. All I know is that I'm acting like a wizard."
Nico started thinking. "If they are taking Percy to their school, maybe this could help him. New environment Will would've suggested this. We have to convince Percy to go with them. I really want him to get well. I can't bear to always see him like this."
Crystal patted his shoulder. "I don't know much about Percy but I know you still love him. We've talked about this and it's okay. Percy needs time. Then maybe you can straighten things out when he comes back. Pun not intended."
Just then the adults came out with blank faces. "We need someone to convince Percy he would go with Ms. McGonagall." Poseidon said. "And prevent him from bleeding to death."
Crystal and Nico looked at each other and nodded. "We're going to use her." They said simultaneously.
Sally's and Poseidon's eyes widened. "WHAT?! Do you have a DEATH WISH?" Poseidon shouted obviously against the idea. "You saw what happened to me when I tried to talk about her. And I'M MEEE!"
Crystal turned to the Golden Trio. "A scared me." Then turned back to her father. "Dad, we'll be fine. I have a human shield." She pulled Nico beside her who was scowling. They started walking to Percy's bedroom.
Sally sighed and shook hands with the trio. "Hi. This is Percy's dad. I understand Percy is the grandson of Voldemort and you intend to teach him magic. As my daughter did say, he needs a new scene. He's been through a lot."
Nico and Crystal quickly came out of the room wheeling a sickly pale Percy Jackson on a wheel chair. His hair was disheveled with a white strip quite noticeable. It had grown long that it covered part of his eyes. His frame was very thin that his 'old' shirt would hung loosely on his body. Nico even lent him t-shirts every now and then. He didn't even look like Percy at all three months ago.
As for Crystal, she had black eye.
As Sally saw this, she smiled. "Well, Ms. McGonagall, Here are a list of rules you must never do to Percy. It triggers him a lot." She handed her a small piece of paper.
McGonagall took the piece of paper and read the rules. More like rule.
NEVER EVER EVER MENTION THE NAME MACKENZIE BLUE. MACKENZIE...NO. BLUE...NO.
McGonagall raised her eyebrows. "Okay."
Crystal walked to her mom and hugged her. "I have to go back before the Royals think I'm ditching them. Duty calls and it sucks when I don't have my co-ruler beside me." She glanced at Percy. "But I think he's in good hands." She said smiling at them.
Poseidon hugged her. "I'll see you soon at my palace...right?"
Harry was surprised. "You live in a palace?"
Crystal elbowed her father and covered it. "Dad just like to call it a palace. It's nothing big." She then looked at her watch. "I REALLY have to go. Celestia and the three other princesses have to report. As for you three," she pointed at the trio.
"Us?" Ron asked.
Crystal nodded. "Yes. We have met before and you think Nico is familiar because you've only seen his sister. I may be a wizard. But I don't need to train. Percy needs it." She ran her hand through her hair and the bottom half turned royal blue.
Hermione piped up. "Who are you exactly?"i
Crystal smirked and lowered her golden tiara mask and pulled up her hoodie. "You can call me Sea." Then she disappeared into a misty vapor.
The trio's mouths went agape. "That was Sea?!" They all exclaimed. Then simultaneously turned their heads to Nico.
"Who might you be?" Hermione asked Nico who was leaning on Percy's wheelchair.
Nico straightened, pun intended, up and smiled in an evil attention capturing way. "My sister is Maria. I gave her that black sword which broke into pieces." He walked toward them glaring. "If you so ever hurt Percy, I will personally travel all the way to you and kill you all." Then he disappeared into the shadows leaving all of them staring at Percy who wasn't the slightest bit alert.
