Chapter 4

A/N

I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to update I have no real excuse for it. I promise that from now on I will update at least once a month. I have decided on who his parent will be so you will get to know in the next chapter.

Soon flashes started to appear around the room. When the gods were seated in their thrones Zeus started talking.

"I called this meeting because we have a demigod who is a blessed of Hecate and a child of one of us in the room. I wish to know who his parent is so we can decide what to do with him."

"Where is this demigod?" Poseidon asked.

"I'm here." Harry said.

All the gods turned to look at him. Artemis was glaring at him again while Apollo gave him a smirk. Then from the sky a screech was heard Harry looked up along with the gods and shouted "Hedwig" once he'd seen his familiar. Hedwig swooped down and pecking and scratching at his face.

"Ow Hedwig please stop. I didn't leave you on purpose she kidnapped me." Harry said while pointing at Artemis.

Hedwig looked at Artemis with hatred and squawked. One of the goddesses burst out laughing. Artemis fixed her with a glare.

"what are you laughing at Athena?" she said.

"Oh nothing much just at what the owl said." Athena said between laughs.

"Wait!" Harry exclaimed. "You can understand her."

"Of course I can" Athena said." My sacred animal is the owl."

Hedwig landed on Harry's shoulder and started preening his hair.

"Hedwig I promise I will never leave you behind by choice ever." Harry said while he stroked her plumage.

Hedwig barked as if to say 'you better not'.

Athena looked at the pair and said." How do you have such a deep connection with that owl?"

Harry looked at her and said." She is more than an owl to me. She's my first and best friend"

"You really care for her don't you?" Athena asked.

"I don't know what I would do without her she has helped me survive at the Dursley's since I was 11." Harry said

Athena looked deep in thought for a few moments and said to Harry. "Due to the fact that you were kind to my sacred animal I will give you my blessing with this you will be able to communicate with your owl Hedwig was it?" She waited for Harry to nod before continuing." You will also become smarter be able to come up with battle strategies in an instant and I will also make Hedwig live as long as you do."

"Why me?" Harry asked.

"I believe that you won't allow the gift I offer to you go to your head and if it does this wonderful owl will stop it." Athena said.

"Wait a minute." Artemis called out." What did that owl say?"

Once again Athena burst out laughing again after she calmed down she said. "She called you a bitch for taking 'her harry' her exact words."

A few of the gods around the room started laughing while Artemis and Hedwig glared at each other. Artemis started to reach for her bow.

"NO!" Harry shouted. "If you hurt her god or not I will make you die."

He said all this with conviction in his voice and distain in his eyes.

"Are you threatening me boy?" Artemis asked.

"No. I wouldn't threaten a god. But I am promising you." Harry said.
