yourtoolfixer:
That’s definitely not AI
wisegirl:
I can assure you that’s not AI, Leo
If it was, I would not have believe in Percy either
Actually
Percy would’ve deleted those photos he posted earlier
If it was AI
seaweedbrain:
See?
She vouched
golden:
How were you able to see those???
I thought they only appeared in stories
And legends if they're lucky enough, like Merlin the Magician
seaweedbrain:
I don’t know, but I have some sort of feeling that we might be able to see through the mist.
You know - the one between demigods and wizards - if there ever was one
sleepdeprivedgremlin:
Now that you mentioned it, I now see people wearing robes
Like it was no big deal to wear them on a hot spring day
wisegirl:
What do you think about this, Rowan?
. . .
Rowan?
Hello??
. . .
Are you there too, Arlan????
ReYnA:
Well that’s sussy
The moment you guys mention witches and wizards being spotted. . .
They are out like a light
ghostking:
You’re right. . . .
That is a bit suspish
wisegirl:
Do any of you think they might have something to do with whatever we’re seeing?
lightning_bolt:
Most likely
Did you try calling them?
wisegirl:
I tried
But they hung up
Instantly
Like they’re freaking out or something. . .
Meanwhile with Rowan and Arlan back at Hogwarts:
“They KNOW!” Rowan shouted, in a panic.
“Who knows?” Harry asked when he saw his friend pacing back and forth in their shared dorm. Neville tried to calm him down, but it was no use. Ron looked confused, and even Arlan was feeling uneasy.
“I -” Rowan started but paused when he realized that none of them knew about their friends at Camp.
He glanced back at Arlan who fidgeted, feeling nervous to tell their friends about their current situation.
“N-nothing. . . ,” Rowan lied, before taking Arlan by the hand. “We’ll be back in a minute!”
As he dashed out of the dorm with Arlan in tow, Harry, Ron, and Neville looked at each other with the same look.
“Do you have any idea what he’s talking about?” Neville asked.
“I’m pretty sure it’s just rubbish. . . ,” Ron replied, but he sounded pretty skeptical.
“I’d reckon it’s something big,” Harry chimed in. “Normally he wouldn’t dash out of the dorm unless it was something like a stomach cramp.”
“Why do you know that Rowan has stomach cramps?” Ron asked, genuinely confused.
“O-oh! I did not say anything!” Harry stated, crossing his arms.
Rowan dashed all the way to Professor McGonagall’s office with Arlan, who arrived after Rowan gave out the password for entry.
Professor McGonagall looked bewildered to see the two boys in her office, panting and out of breath, but when she saw the look in their eyes, she knew something was up.
“What is it, boys?” Professor McGonagall asked.
“T-they know, Professor,” Rowan started. “They know - my friends from Camp - they know about witches and wizards.”
“That can’t be good,” Professor McGonagall replied. “I’m assuming you must speak to your mother then.”
Rowan nodded vigorously, wanting to check up on his mother who most likely altered something for them to see.
Professor McGonagall stood from her desk and used her wand to spell out a complicated spell. The spell took place, opening a huge magic circle, and then standing before them was Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Magic and Witchcraft.
“You have called?” Hecate replied coolly, looking at the professor.
“Your son, and his boyfriend, would like to speak with you,” Professor McGonagall explained.
Hecate turned to see her son, now dressed in his regular clothes that he always wore after classes were done. “What’s the matter, son?” Hecate asked slowly, hoping to pick up any missing information.
“They know – they know about us, Mother,” Rowan said, looking her straight in the eyes.
“Did you do something to the mist, my lady?” Arlan asked, bringing it up.
Hecate smiled. “That I did,” she replied. “I know it’s a bit of a sudden change, but soon these demigods will know about your second life.”
“But mother! You’ve sworn to keep the Wizarding World a secret from everyone – including the demigods!” Rowan reminded her.
“That I did. . . ,” Hecate said. “I’d thought messing with the Mist just a bit, they will get to see both of your lives as wizards.”
“We will now have to explain everything from top to bottom,” Arlan grimaces, remembering how many lies they had to tell their demigod friends to get to Hogwarts without them suspecting. “Oh shit – that includes Harry and the others.”
“They don’t know anything about our demigod life either. . . ,” Rowan said, realizing what they were going through. “Why must you do this, mother!?”
“To see what happens once I merge these two,” Hecate replied, smiling. “What’s done is done – nothing can be changed after I altered the mist just a bit.”
She turned to face the two of them. “Good luck on explaining this to your friends, my dear,” she said before the magic circle closed, and she disappeared into thin air.
There was a beat of silence until Arlan spoke up, “Don’t explode with anger in Professor McGonagall’s room, please,” he said, putting a hand on Rowan’s shoulder.
“Why would she do that?” Rowan growled. His mother had the Mist, where demigods and mortals live their own separate lives, including witches and wizards. But now that she’d altered it, the demigods can view what a witch or wizard’s life looks like. It isn’t exactly. . . less dangerous though.
“I’m sure she has her reasons, Glimrose,” Professor McGonagall said, watching the two interact with each other. “And if she has indeed altered the mist, that means the Hogwarts creatures around here might also be affected by it. . . some can even turn dangerous.”
“Like the centaurus,” Arlan said. “Those guys are here in Hogwarts, and also in the demigod world.”
“You’d think the Centaurus will become even more dangerous than they were before?” Rowan asked, lifting his head up to face them.
“We’ve seen countless Centaurus during our quests,” Arlan replied. “And in the forbidden forest.”
“But those guys are like. . . nice-ish?” Rowan supplied, and Professor McGonagall sighed.
“Well as much as I’d like to complain to Hecate, there are some aspects of this event as a whole,” she said, glancing at the two boys, before explaining. “We could use some of the demigods’ help to defeat he-who-must-not-be-named, and for them to possibly overthrow Umbridge and let Professor Dumbledore take office again.”
“That’s great and all but. . . ,” Rowan began.
“But what?”
“How do we explain that me and Arlan have been hiding this secret part of our lives from our friends?” Rowan asked. “As far as I’m concerned, they’re on to something after uh, Percy posted two photos of witches and wizards on broomsticks.”
“Uh. . . our Percy Weasley?” Professor McGonagall asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh! I meant Percy Jackson,” Rowan corrected himself.
“Those two will have to meet one day,” Arlan suggested, looking a bit smug before Rowan elbowed him to behave. “Ow.”
“Granted,” Professor McGonagall said. “But first - you might want to talk to Harry and the others before you talk to your fellow demigods. Now off you go - I’ll talk to Dumbledore about this situation later.”
Rowan and Arlan both nodded. They walked out of Professor McGonagall’s office, and back up to the rotating staircases, one of them that led to the Gryffindor Tower.
The fat lady was there as always, and she asked, “Password?”
“Mimbulus mimbletonia,” Arlan answered. The portrait of course opened, allowing the two boys back into the Gryffindor Common Room. Once they reached their dorm, Harry, Ron, and Neville were there looking confused on why they just ran off.
“So. . . ,” Harry began. “Tell us why you ran out so quickly.”
“Did you have another stomach cramp again, Rowan?” Ron asked, to which Rowan shook his head.
“No. . . it’s not that,” Rowan replied, before looking at Arlan, who gave him a nod to continue. “It’s something more. . . bigger.”
“How big?” Neville asked.
“Really big,” Rowan answered. “Both Arlan and I now have to come clean -”
“You two have been hiding something??” Ron asked, sitting up straight. “That big???”
“Uh, yeah, that big,” Rowan replied sheepishly, rubbing his neck. “Alright listen - just don’t freak out or anything okay?”
The three boys nodded.
“You guys know Greek Mythology, right?” Rowan began.
“Yeah, Greek Gods and stuff,” Neville replied, before looking at Harry and Ron who seemed to not understand. “What??? You guys never heard of the Trojan War??”
“I’m sorry?” Ron asked, confused.
“I’ll explain later - let Rowan finish,” Neville said, gesturing to him.
“You guys also know about demigods right? Half god, half mortal?” Rowan supplied, and Neville again, was the only one who nodded - Harry and Ron were just confused.
“Well both Arlan and I. . . are demigods,” Rowan spat out.
And Neville shrieked. No, it wasn’t a shriek of terror, it was a shriek of joy. “NO FREAKING WAY!” he shouted excitedly.
Harry and Ron were only mouths gaping at the two boys. “I’m sorry????” Ron asked, genuinely confused. “Y-you two are demigods?!”
“Which god??? Which god??” Neville kept asking, ignoring Ron’s baffled expression.
“I’m the Son of Hecate, the Goddess of Magic and Witchcraft,” Rowan replied, smiling.
“And I’m the Son of Morpheus,” Arlan said. “The God of Dreams.”
“Woah. . . ,” Neville said, before turning to Harry and Ron. “Hey hold your horses for a second -”
Rowan and Arlan shared a look that said, Shit.
“ - If you two are the sons of a god and goddess, that must mean there are more demigods out there,” Neville said, and Rowan’s phone notifications went off for like the 50th time that day.
“I’m guessing that’s one of them?” Harry asked, looking at the notification on Rowan’s phone.
“Yeah?” Rowan replied, unsure. He sat down on his bed, Arlan next to him, and Harry, Ron, and Neville were sat on the other side of the bed.
