Percy Jackson lay on his death bed, the only thing going through his mind at that point was joining his love Annabeth in death. He was glad that he now got on with his father's brother Hades, although they were not bosom friends they no longer hated each other. It meant he would not interfere with Percy's judgement. His eyes closed and he breathed his last, surrounded by family and friends. He had lived a full life to the age of 80, quite a feat for a demi god. He had expected to die earlier due to the attacks in his younger days. Annabeth died before him at the age of 78 after she had given him three children two boys one girl, he also now had grandchildren but his heart was too broken by her death for him to hold onto life anymore. He died of a broken heart.

When Percys eyes opened again it was to the sight of his uncle Hades standing above him. He looked around in confusion and noticed he was in the underworld and he was lying on a gurney. He sat up and looked at Hades in confusion then asked "Uncle Hades, what is going on?"

Hades had a look of apology on his face as he said "I'm sorry Percy but I cannot accept you into my kingdom. Do you remember the curse of Archilles that you had all those years ago but lost?"

Percy nodded still in shock at what what he was hearing, Hades continued "Well the spirit of the Styx is not very happy with you because of it. She is angry at you for losing her blessing after she bestowed it on you. You won't remember but you spoke to her when you died, I don't know what was said, she said you will remember when you have to, there is a decision you have to make that needs to be unbiased. She has however made you immortal until that decision is made. If you refuse to choose you will continue to grow old, shrivel up and still live."

Percy felt fury for this interference over his after life. From the sound of it he was not going to be with Annabeth like they talked about before she died. He stood up and walked over to the river that was close by. As he looked at it he noticed someone floating inside it and said "Why are you doing this?"

The woman looked back at him and said "Make the choice Percy Jackson and you can move on."

The river began to show flashes of lives gong by each one different and showed different people. Percy asked "What are these?"

By then Hades was gone and it was just Percy and the river spirit. In his anger at the river spirit Percy jumped straight into the water. The pain he had never forgotten even after all these years consumed him. He could hear a voice speaking in his ear the minute he thought there was nothing left of him to pull out, th e voice belonged to the river spirit, she was saying "You are stubborn aren't you? If I did not need you I would leave your soul to die in here."

She was getting clearer as Percy regained his equilibrium. He opened his eyes as soon as he could feel them again and said "Then why don't you just let me die?"

She replied "Are you deaf, I said I need you. Seeing as you refused to make a choice of those worlds I showed you, I will make the choice for you. My sisters and I found a way to come together without repelling each other and that requires a soul sacrifice and I chose you. It was either that or the destruction of your soul for losing my blessing all those years ago so callously without asking my permission. I lost a part of myself that day and this will return it."

Two more women arrived and were floating beside the woman. Before Percy could comment he felt all three of them blessed him before he lost consciousness. The last thing he saw and heard was the woman as she said "Good luck Percy Jackson. Use our blessings well." What he didn't see was his dad arrive with his brothers and ask "Is he gone?"

The spirit of the river replied "Yes it is done, he is safe away from her. She will not be able to get to him where he is gone. This was his third life he was supposed to have achieved Alysyum. He was your son first lord Zeus, then in his second life he was yours Lord Hades and then yours lord Poseidon. Are you sure about all this?"

Zeus replied "Yes we are. He is in love with her. If he joins her in the after life she will twist that life and use him to take over. He has all of our powers now."

Posiedon cut in "I just wish we could have known about her being a seductress from Tarturus. We might not have had to send Percy away like that."

Hades nodded in agreement and said "Of all my children he made me the most proud." He turned to the side and called "Thanatos!" The air shimmered before a figure in a black robe appeared and bowed. Hades said "Go with him. You are the only one who can travel between worlds. Take good care of my son."

Thanatos bowed a second time and said "I will."

The three gods each created a treasure chest and sent it after Percy by giving them to Thanatos who then left for the new world where he was being sent then parted ways. The river spirit met up with her sisters and left as well. The only thing remaining to show for what had just transpired was the gurney that was never moved.

Percy opened his eyes to a blurry world and voices talking excitedly around him. He felt so tired and his eyes were too heavy for him to investigate where he was so he went to sleep. Consciousness returned to him occasionally but he was never able to stay awake for long.

When he finally stayed up long enough to look around he noticed he was lying in someone's arms. He wondered what was going on and tried to ask but all that came out of his throat was a gurgling noise. This made him panic and he tried to get up but whoever held him had a tight hold on him. and he could only wriggle a little bit. Small sounds of distress came out of his mouth and the person holding him started making shushing noises and singing to him. He frowned at that. Who would try and calm down an old man like him the same way they would a baby?

The person holding him was wearing glasses and had the most unruly hair Percy had ever seen. Standing next to him was a red headed woman who was now cooing at him making him scowl. Who were these people why were they treating him like a baby? Why won't they let him get up? He tried to speak but more gurggles came out and the frustration he was feeling made him feel teary. It didn't take long before he was crying and could not stop. He felt like he was not in control of his own body. It wasn't until the red headed woman reached out and took him from the man with the unruly hair that he noticed he was much smaller than he remembered being.

It was then that his memory of dying and then being sent here by the river Styx spirit came back to him. He realised he must have been re born. He calmed down as he was held in his new mother's arms. It was hard not to, when she held him he felt the same way he remembered feeling when his other mother Sally held him. Safe.

From the moment he became aware of himself and his surroundings Percy paid attention to what was going on. He learned his mum was named Lily and his dad was James. He had a godfather Sirius Black and honorary uncles Remus and Peter. He knew there was something about his uncle Remus that made him feel wild and more animal like than human. His uncle Peter smelled of treachery and Percy didn't like it when he tried to hold him. He would scream and cry until someone else took him.

Months went by as he learned more about his new family, he grew to love them and could not wait when he would be able to talk. He shocked his mother by beginning to pull his body across any surface at four months by grabbing anything he could to pull himself forward. By the time he was six months old he was crawling around the house and trying to stand. For Percy it was a slow process that frustrated him but for his parents they were very proud of him.

They were a bit worried that he was not showing any magic. What they did not know was that Percy kept a tight reign on his powers. The control included the magic he got when he was re born. It was something he learned to do as he got older and his powers developed and grew with him. Loss of control could flood the whole country with rain, cause tidal waves, earthquakes, erupt doormat volcanoes or blanket it in snow deep enough to bury everything under it. What he did not know was that his powers from his previous lives were re awoken in him when he was blessed by the river Styx's spirit and her sisters. The power he got from being the son of Zeus and the son of Hades.

The only thing so far that irritated Percy was his name. His parents named Harry. He didn't like it, but he did not have much of a choice. He resigned himself to the name and decided to make his life a little more interesting. When he next saw Peter he narrowed his eyes. He could sense some kind of dark binding on the man. How he could tell he did not know. He figured if he could make the man's life a nightmare whenever he visited he may visit less.

Having made the decision to accept his name despite his dislike for it, Percy decided to refer to himself by it instead of his old name. He listened to his parents having a conversation while he was sat in his playpen and he perked up when he heard Peter's name. Apparently he was coming over. Harry smirked, it was a look that didn't look right on his cute baby face. He lay down an pretended to sleep and his mum picked him up and put him in his crib in his room. It was what he needed. The privacy that came with being on his own.

Opening up his senses he waited for Peter to arrive. He hadn't used his powers in a while never having felt the need to, although he knew they were there. He felt Peter arrive and sat up, he water travelled to the kitchen and looked through the door at the occupants sitting in there. Peter was just arriving and Sirius was teasing him. Harry smirked again then he created clouds over Peter's head and made it rain on him continuously. He made sure that if Peter walked out of the house the rain would stop and if he came back in it would start again, if he kept trying to come back he would add a bolt of lightning for each attempt, He then water travelled back to his crib and this time he actually fell asleep.

Lily Potter sat in her living room after putting Harry to bed. Her biggest worry was the fact that Harry did not seem to have any magic. This was something that was both a blessing and curse. It was a blessing because without any magic Voldemort was not interested in their family, he was set on finding the child who did have power and born at the same time as Harry. Unfortunately that was her best friend Alice Longbottom's son.

The bad side of things was the talks of society. A Potter producing a squib, it was unheard of. There had never been any known squibs in the Potter line. She did not know how her husband would react to this. She knew that in the pureblood society squibs were sent away from home to the muggle world to live with muggle relatives. There was no way she was going to do that to her son. She had already decided that if James did not support her in this she would go with her son, although that decision might be made complicated by the fact that she was pregnant again. She could only hope that her husband would not want to send away their son.

She heard her husband arrive with his friends and waited for them to come in. James walked in first and kissed her as soon as he was close enough and said "How are you my Lily flower?"

She kissed him back and replied "I feel fat James what do you expect?"

Realising it was one of those days where anything he said was wrong James wrapped his arms around his wife and said "I love you."

As he expected she smiled. He was glad he had learned from the previous pregnancy when her mood swings were coming on. That way he would not fall into the trap of trying to make her feel better when she just wanted to be in a funk. It was tricky knowing when she needed comfort and knowing when she wanted to be left alone. Sirius guffawed behind him and said "Oh Jamesy you are so whipped."

James turned around and smacked Sirius on the head Peter just stood at the side and said "Yeah!"

Lilly felt disgust at the man who looked more like a rat than a human. She wondered how her husband and his friends didn't see it. Before anyone could say anything else a cloud appeared above Peter's head and it began to rain on him. Sirius and James' first reaction was to burst out in laughter. Lily was shocked and actually thought it was her dislike for Peter doing it. She shouted over the roar of the water "Peter maybe you should go outside before the house floods at least until it stops."

Nodding Peter walked out of the house and as soon as he was outside the water stopped. Sirius and James were still laughing. Peter scowled and said "That wasn't funny. I thought we had a truce on pranking each other while the war was on."

James replied "That was not me but it was funny."

Sirius said the same thing "It was not me either, I wouldn't even know how to do that. Did you piss off Lily or something?"

Peter shook his head and said "Not that I know of. I mean I haven't been here for a few days."

James waved his wand over his friend and dried him off before they all walked back into the house. However as soon as Peter walked into the house the rain started again and this time there was a bolt of lightning that struck him making him scream and run back outside where it stopped again. Neither James or Sirius wee laughing this time as Peter ran back outside. James was worried that someone had cursed his friend, perhaps they found out he was their secret keeper.

Sirius came to the same conclusion "James you don't think someone found out Peter was your secret keeper and did this do you?"

James didn't answer Sirius instead he called his wife. "Lily!"

Lilly came out and looked at the newly drenched Peter, brought out her wand and dried him off as she said "You boys act like you forget you have magic, why didn't you dry him off?"

James replied "We did but as soon as he walked back into the house the cloud came back. Was that you love?"

Lily narrowed her eyes and said "I am not the one who goes around pranking people. That is your forte James."

Realising he had opened a can of worms James started to calm his wife down. "No lily that is not what I meant. We thought he might have upset you and you decided to teach him a lesson, nut if you didn't do it and we didn't do it then who did?"

Lily stopped her upcoming rant as the words went through her mind. The first question in her mind was, was her family in danger?

She looked at James and said "I know this is going to sound paranoid love but I think we should change the secret keeper. Someone may have found out about Peter and did this. We can't take the chance that they are now after him."

It was just the excuse Lily had been hoping for ever since she had been unable to dissuade her husband from making the rat their secret keeper. She didn't like the vibes she got from him.

James sighed he knew Lily never wanted Peter for their secret keeper and he had forced the issue. He decided to give in this time. It would be safer to do so anyway. Peter wasn't a fighter. If he got caught they would have the secret out of him in seconds. He looked at Sirius and said "I think she has a point Padfoot. What do you think?"

Sirius nodded and said "Maybe you are right, lets do it now and that way we can find a way to protect Pete," He looked at Peter who had gone pale and not for the reasons they assumed. He was busy thinking about how he was going to explain to the dark lord how he lost his position as the Potter's secret keeper. Despite the fact that their son Harry did not seem to have magic the dark lord wanted every avenue covered and that included the Potters' son who's parents were magical and was born during the time mentioned by a prophecy.

Lily and James undid the magic that tied Peter to them as their secret keeper and Sirius redid the spell with himself as the secret keeper. It would stay like that until they could decide who to choose for it. None of them knew that they had just changed their fates because that was the night Peter was planning to tell the dark lord the secret into their wards. Peter tried one more time to get into the house but the lightning that struck him had him running out again and decide he would go home until he could figure out how to fix whatever was happening to him. He just hoped it was not going to happen in every other house he tried to enter.

Harry woke up to the sound of his parents and his uncles Sirius and Remus talking. He was glad Peter was not there. The house felt less oppressive without the man there. He heard his parents saying "What are we going to do about Pete ? We need to know how to help him but we can't do that if he can't even get into the house."

Harry decided to let himself known and called out "Mama, dada!"

Lily was the one who came to get him. He smiled at her making her smile back at him, kiss his forehead and say "Did you have a nice nap?"

Harry giggled and put his thumb in his mouth. Talking was much harder than he thought it would be. He smiled wider at the sight of the rest of his family. Sirius reached over and took him from his mother and said "Someone is in a good mood today."

Harry grabbed a fistful of Sirius' hair and said "Pafoof."

Sirius replied "Yes Harry, it's your pafoof. With a giggle Harry let loose a trickle of electricity making all of Sirius' hair stand up straight as if he had placed his finger in an electrical socket. Harry laughed at the sight of the shocked look on his face. His parents who had been chatting stop to look at Harry in shock. They had been so sure that he had no magic. Most babies had bouts of accidental magic when they were frustrated about something and upset nothing big but little things like summoning a toy, or their bottle of milk.

Sirius looked at James and Lily and said "Well I guess the boy is no muggle."

Remus cut in saying "I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing though. The fact that we thought he didn't have any magic was the reason he has been safe so far. What happens now?"

Lily took her son from Sirius and said "We keep things as they are. We do not tell anyone who is not here right now about this."

The others agreed to this, James moved to stand next to Lily and say to Harry, "Hey buddy! Can you do that again for daddy?"

Harry inwardly giggled and raised a chubby arm letting loose another strand of electricity and hitting Sirius again, then giggled at the shock of the adults. Sirius was the only one to speak "Hey do you think he is trying to tell me something? He aimed right at me, that was no accident."

Remus started laughing at Sirius until a splash of water hit him square in the face. He looked at all his friends who did not have their wands out or anything to signify they had water laying around to pour on him. Harry's giggle made him gape and say "He's an elemental. Harry is an elemental."

Sirius asked "Do you think it was him who did that earlier to Peter with the storm?"

James replied "I think so. He has never liked Peter. I wonder why. He was practically kicking him out of the house." James smiled widely and took Harry from Lilly and said to him "Oh I am so proud of you. You are a genius, my son is a genius."

Lilly was smiling too. She said "Maybe he sensed something was wrong and his magic reacted. Until we know for sure that it was just coincidence lets keep things quiet and between us."

Remus crouched down beside James'seat where he sat holding Harry and said to him "Harry, uncle Peter!"

Harry scowled and said "No!"

He then turned away from Remus and lay his head on his father's shoulder. Sirus spoke up and said "I guess we do not need any more proof that Harry thinks something is wrong with Peter. Although I hope it is just one of those cases where children hate a particular adult for no reason. Pete is one of us."

Shockingly it was James, the one who always defended Peter whenever the others had doubts about him who said "Then why do I get the feeling it isn't. I wasn't going to say anything but I was already considering changing secret keepers for the Fidelias charm. I have been getting this vibe from Pete for a while now and it is not a good one."

Lily looked up and said "Why didn't you say something?You know I didn't want him as our secret keeper anyway."

Sirius and Remus spoke up too "Well I have had that feeling too..." Remus finished it "...but you James always defended him and we kept it to ourselves."

Sighing James asked "Okay so what do we do now? I mean we haven't got any real proof that he has gone over to the dark side but we can't ignore our intuitions."

Lily was the one who came up with something "How about the next time we invite him over you guys call off your truce on the pranking just for the day and make him roll up his sleeves somehow. I don't think I have ever seen him wear short sleeved clothes ever since we left school."

The men in the room's eyes widened at the implication. It was true. Peter always, always covered his arms come rain, thunder or sunshine. He stopped showering with them in their last year of school and his clothes of choice became long sleeved robes or long sleeved shirts. Their eyes hardened as they thought about what this betrayal could have meant. Sirius was the one to suggest just confronting Peter about it. Lily shook her head and said "No because if we are wrong we lose a friend. Don't forget these are only suspicions. we have, circumstantial lets find out first if we are right. It would be what we would do for each other right?"

The others agreed and they were all silent after that thinking about what it would mean for them as friends if they found that someone that close to them had betrayed them. Harry feeling the tension decided to break it by saying to his dad "Dada, nana!"

They all laughed as James got up to get his son a banana.

It was early the next morning when they all heard the news. They had all decided to stay the night and figure out what to do about their friend Peter in the morning, when they got a fire call from one of their friends Kingsley Shacklebolt telling them about the death of the Longbottoms at the hands of the dark lord, survived by their son Neville. The dark lord didn't survive his attempt to kill Neville. Lily knew why that was. She and Alice found a ritual they both planned to use to protect their sons if the dark lord ever got close enough to them to kill them. The ritual required a blood sacrifice one that Lily knew she would have done for her son to protect him.

They were all mourning the loss of their friends when a shuffle outside their wards warned them of intruders. Lily saw Bellatrix and alerted the others. Sirius was the one who kept a level head and said "They can't get in. The fidelias remember?"

They set traps all over just in case they somehow found a way in. Harry sat in his playpen watching the adults run around casting spells and preparing as if for war. He looked outside the window when he saw them all looking with worried faces and he noticed the masked men walking around out side. His eyes narrowed as he figured out this was the danger his family was afraid of. Dark clouds formed all around casting the whole place in semi darkness with the exception of the house, the clouds went around it.

Instead of the rain that was expected liquid fire rained down on the death eaters that had surrounded the house. Screaming could be head as the liquid fire burned them. Loud pops followed the screaming as the death eaters apparated away from the danger. As soon as they were all gone the rain of fire stopped and the sun came out from behind the clouds.

Harry picked up one of his toys when the rain stopped and began to play with it as if nothing had happened. His mother stood there watching him with her mouth agape. She walked over to the playpen and said "Harry, baby did you do that?"

Harry looked up and smiled at her then nodded his head then said "Mama, dada fine, pafoof, mooey, fine."

Tears sprang from her eyes as she regarded her son. He was protecting them. They should be the ones protecting him.

The sight of Peter covered in burns was all the evidence they needed that he had betrayed them. They were burns from Harry's rain of fire on the death eaters. James didn't say anything he walked over to Peter who stood in front of them trying to hide the burns on his face and neck. Magic could not heal them as they were done by a magical fire. They could tell that they would scar horribly. James pushed the sleeve on Peter's left hand back off the ugly tatoo of the skull and snake that was on his arm. James felt fury. He punched Peter knocking him out and he fell on the floor of their living room. Harry who was in Lily's arms thought to himself 'about time, I was beginning to think I would need to do something drastic to clue them in.'

He giggled and said out loud "Peter bad." the rain and the lightning started waking Peter up and making him scream. A part of Harry thought maybe he was being a bit sardistic, but a part of him wanted to vent. Despite the fact that he loved his parents and uncles he was still an adult in the body of a baby having to grow up again. He missed his own children and grandchildren but most of all he missed Annabeth.

Sirius and Remus tied Peter up and cast a spell stopping him from shifting into his rat form and took him to the ministry to be charged and put in prison.
