Comment on The unknown waters

  1. Maybe at the end after the quest you can have something, but during the actual voyage to the Sea Of Monsters I can't see a way to naturally do so

    Well, maybe after they sneak out, sometime around the sirens or something, Apollo can show up and be like "Your mother sent me to pick you up. Get in the sun." And Harry and Percy are like "LOL no." Maybe. I don't know if Lily has enough pull over Apollo to get him to do that

    1. Not sure if Harry is still with Percy at that point as i don't want to completely quote the book word for word, so he might go with Clarisse instead

            1. Haha

              You think that if Harry saw Zeus taking Apollo away at the end of HOO, he'd he nicer to Lester as he'd know it was not entirely his fault?

              1. I really don’t know

                1. I'd say he would be nicer at first because he's very aware how much it sucks for a god to be banished thanks to Mr. D, but Lester would be so gods damn insufferable by constantly complaining about everything, he's going to enjoy the fact that he can now use magic on his dad without him being able to just wave it off and use "silencio"

                  1. Not to mention, by that point Harry would be a moody fourteen year old who has been through three wars, been hunted in two different hidden magical societies, bound to more prophecies than he can count, lost his family several times (sure, they came back but still), and has grown up with an absent father who doesn’t even do the bare minimum ninety-nine percent of the time. I wouldn’t expect him to act entirely rationally in that moment

                    1. And he would have just been captured and forced to watch as Voldemort returned and the only reason he's not freaking out more is because he's preparing the popcorn for when Riddle realises that using the blood of a demigod in a continent mostly abandoned by the gods is NOT a good idea

                      1. Exactly. The guy has literally been through Hell, he needs catharsis, and if that comes from tormenting an absentee father then so be it

                        1. I can see him ignoring Lester as well. Just Lester trying to complain about everything and Harry just ignoring him and going about his day

Never mind the fact that he’s omnipotent and all powerful and could solve it with a snap of his fingers, I have to be the one to fix it! He expects me to go on a super dangerous quest, risking my life over and over and over again, and all for what? His pride? So he doesn’t have to put in any effort? Can you even imagine what that’s like?!”

                            “Yeah, sounds like a drag.”

                              1. Think at one point, say when Lester's hit by a paralytic and needs someone to carry him, Harry would just have a breakdown?

                                              You think Percy will eventually feel like a failure because of the things Harry goes through while at Hogwarts and there's nothing he can do

                                              1. It's hard to say. On the one hand, Percy is fully aware that all demigods have to go through some pretty awful stuff on their own. At the same time, he absolutely has a saving people thing of his own

What do i do? Harry needs me, but I promised mom not to suddenly leave again.... wait a minute."

                                                            1. And Poseidon would probably do it as well since Harry has always been at Percy's side.

                                                              So yeah. Harry goes into the lake to find his girlfriend, probably a certain slytherin girl we discussed before, ready to do it alone since he knows Percy is busy

                                                              "Hello, Harry."

First, he absolutely won the genetic lottery. Plus he's smart, kind, witty, charismatic, funny, a talented musician, and -let's be honest here- archery does wonders for the arms. Then they just walk up to Harry and say "So... you wouldn't happen to have any single brothers or sisters, would you?"

                                                                                            Colin would be at the front taking pictures, right? Kid would make a killing selling those

                                                                                            Comment Actions

                                                                                              Almost certainly and Daphne will be first in line.

                                                                                              Imagine that because he'll be her daughter's stepbrother, Aphrodite gives him an amulet against love potions or do you think his half-divine blood protects him against it?

                                                                                              Comment Actions

                                                                                                If anything he has a natural immunity. Or he just has to be really careful around Romilda

                                                                                                Would Aphrodite hate love potions with a passion that burns with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns, or think they’re the most romantic thing since Helen and Paris? Cause I can’t really see an in between

                                                                                                Comment Actions

                                                                                                  Honestly, I'm not sure. On one hand, you'd think that as the goddess of love, potions like that would be an insult, but on the other hand:...Helen and Paris..... and the Aphrodite ritual

                                                                                                    Didn’t she also encourage Piper to charmspeak Jason into a relationship?

                                                                                                          Comment Actions

                                                                                                                  Everyone knows his dangerous quests are. Luke failed his and came back even me cynical than before, Percy nearly died several times on his, so if Ares could get revenge for his defeat by telling Clarisse to take Harry on hers, it would be perfect
