Hello!

Ok, this is one of my first fanfictions. I originally started posting this on Wattpad, but then discontinued four chapters in. I'm not sure how often I will be updating, so don't expect it to be consistent. Chapter lengths will also vary. I am not sure if all my facts and stuff are right for these two fandoms, so if there are any major mistakes, please feel free to point them out.

Thanks! Enjoy reading!

Chapter One: Another Quest

Nico POV

Two years after the Giant War had ended, so many things had changed. Percy and Annabeth were in New Rome for college, but were visiting Camp Half-Blood for the summer. Piper and Jason were just finishing high school and planned to have the shrines for the minor gods completed within the year. Hazel and Frank were doing well and Reyna was just grateful to have someone to work with. Leo and Calypso returned on Festus six months after the war ended, and most of everyone took a turn beating Leo up. While I didn't partake, I completely understood those who did. When the two went to Camp Jupiter, the same happened. But, Leo and Calypso were free spirits, so they ended up travelling around the country (and probably further) for most of their time.

I had just turned 16 and the nightmares had become much less often. Last year around Christmas, Will and I started dating and around that time the Seven, Reyna, and Will each talked me repeatedly about how homosexuality wasn't negative and that I should open up (yes, even Frank). It surprised me to realize this, but I was truly happy for the first time in years.

Will and I were sitting in the strawberry fields at Camp Half-Blood one morning, in the middle of July. I leaned into Will's shoulder, smiling at something he said and enjoying the sun, its warmth so different from the shadows I had too much experience with. Suddenly, I gasped as an icy sensation tore through my body. Will immediately went into his doctor-mode.

"Nico?" Will felt my skin, now icy cold, "Is something wrong?"

I shook my head and stood, "It was a summon. My father wants to see me."

Will considered this, then said, "Be careful. I know you can shadow-travel safely now, but please don't do it too much. No skeletons or anything. Don't anger anyone either."

I nodded, knowing that Will wouldn't take no for an answer, and shadow-traveled into Hades' throne room. He regarded me with an expressionless face.

"Hello Nico. It is a pleasure to see you again." My father finally said. I thought about my response carefully, before giving up and saying what came to mind.

"Skip the pleasantries. I was just here last month. What do you want, Dad?" I deadpanned. Hades sighed but explained the situation.

"Well, if you remember, I have mentioned to you those blessed by Hecate. It typically runs in their bloodline, though some of them are born of mortals. Very few of them have a true claim to godly ancestry. They call themselves wizards and witches, which is interpreted different ways in today's mortal culture. Like with the Romans, the Olympians decided centuries ago that they would be kept separate. Now, Hecate is worried about Britain, but dares not request the Olympians permission to intervene. There is a quest for you that Hecate has insisted upon. You must go and protect this one boy, the Chosen One, from a corrupt wizard known as Voldemort. They have their own prophecy:

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches

Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not

And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies"

I thought it over, committing it to memory, and nodded. As much as I liked having a simple life, I knew one of the gods would come up with another quest. I was just relieved that it was my father, as opposed to one of the other immortals who didn't care quite so much about my survival. I was pretty sure that was most of them.

"That's the basic premise of your quest. The Dark Lord the prophecy speaks of has cheated death for years, something that Thanatos reminded me of last summer, when the wizard regained a proper body. Neither of us are quite happy with that, but we can not interfere and kill him directly. So, the Chosen One must live to fulfil this prophecy. I have sensed danger in his near future and Hecate put too much faith in the boy's judgement and ability. He came close to death just a few months ago. So, Hecate and I, well Hecate mostly, thought it best that he be looked after. This boy is at a wizarding school in Britain known as Hogwarts. He is starting his sixth year out of seven this fall, and you shall join his year. There are four houses and you will be sorted into one. Hecate will make sure you understand before reaching the school.

"You will also have a cover story provided by Hecate. She said you will be an exchange student from America. I believe America does have its own wizarding community and a school called Ilvermorny, but don't bring that into your story, as it may bring about questions you can't answer. You are not to reveal your identity or past, unless there is someone you truly trust. Knowing you, I think you will be able to make this choice. There shouldn't be any demigods at the school, though maybe a few legacies of gods. You may have two demigods join you, preferably around your age."

"Will and Reyna," I said immediately. Hades considered my choices. He knew about Will and me dating, though he never seemed to mind, which I was grateful for. To be completely honest, he probably cared less about my being gay than I did.

"Will Solace is fine; he's 17 but can be passed off as 16 to be in your year. Though Reyna… The Roman praetor is, well, Roman. Her gods will have to approve this mission. Being praetor, she may not have the time to spare. According to her age, she should have just graduated, which we can work around. It is only that she would be in the seventh year."

I nodded in understanding. "If it is too difficult, then just Will is fine as well." I briefly considered Hazel, but I didn't want her to get dragged into another quest, especially not one without Frank and that would take an entire school year.

"Three is better for a quest, but if you insist, then very well. You will have some supplies to get and some research to do. There is much to learn about their culture. Hecate will be at Camp Half-Blood at this time tomorrow."

With that, Hades got up from his throne, and left. I stared after him for a moment and shadow-traveled away.

"I hope that you don't mind that I signed you up for this," I said, having just finished an explanation of the quest. Will shook his head quickly.

"Of course not. By now, I can't say I'm surprised by the existence of wizards. I just wish that neither of us would have to go. You, I think, have been through too much." Will sighed. I smiled in a way I hoped was reassuring. It probably wasn't.

"I'll be fine, now let's go pack."

We found a list of supplies we would need that Hades left on my bunk, so Will left for the Apollo cabin to pack his own things.

That night, my boyfriend came back with a trunk of belongings. It seemed like he packed more, despite the two of us using the same list as a reference. We curled up on my bunk like we often did. As much as the other demigods teased us, Will and I only ever slept, going no further than kissing and talking.

"You're worried," Will murmured into my hair, "It will be fine. It is only until next summer, then we can go back to normal." I nodded, but didn't smile. Will didn't see my face. We fell asleep like that, in each other's arms, though I still worried about the next year.
