-Notes-
Some of you may be wondering why Bennu seems so attached to Orion and to a lesser extent Hermonie I was originally going to make this Orion/Bennu but iv decided to make that more of a parent/child thing. So bennu has sort of adopted those two now. This will still be slash but nothing graphic since although I don't mind lemons i'm not ready to write them, but orion will be will someone else.
and for those of you who guessed no one has gotten it correct you will be finding out the identity of our mystery guest at the end of the next chapter or the chapter after that alright?

Chapter 15- A Grim Tale
Nov 29
Sirius black was in a difficult spot at the moment, made all the worse by the sword at his throat. He raised his hands slowly to show he was unarmed and tried not to squirm as those emerald green eyes board into him. He had been trying to grab Harry so he could explain what had really happened that night 13 years ago, but hadn't been expecting to nearly get run through with a sword for his troubles, he was just lucky he had ducked, or his good looks might have taken a turn for the worst.
"Now Harry lets talk about this!" He said coaxingly the green eyes merely narrowed dangerously.
"And why shouldn't I kill you where you stand traitor?" The teen hissed at him Sirius gulped.
"Harry I didn't betray them! I wasn't the secret keeper!" He said desperately. "I was to obvious of a choice, so we switched to Peter! He betrayed James and Lily! Thats why I went after him!" He tried to explain Harry seemed to consider this for a moment looking thoughtful.
"Why should i believe you?" He asked flatly.
"I can prove it!" He said desperately.
"Then prove it." He said flatly Sirius blinked in surprise at actually being given a chance, a look of relief crossing his face.
"I Sirius Orion Black do here by swear on my soul and magic that I was not the Potters secret keeper and that I would never betray them to voldamort or try to kill you, so mote it be." He said clearly a soft silver gray aura glowed around Sirius for a moment before fading leaving the old grim still standing. Harry stared at him for a second seemingly debating with himself before taking a step back removing the sword at his throat.
Sirius took a relived breath a rubbed his throat a little unnerved by how close he had just come to dieing. "So if you didn't betray them and your not here to kill me, why are you here?" Harry asked quietly not putting the sword away.
"Simple, Peters not dead." He all but growled eyes flashing. " I found out a few months ago by accident and when I saw how close the bastard was to you I couldn't just leave him there!" He said frazzled.
"Peters alive?" Was soft reply and if Sirius had though his godson looked scary before he had just been proven wrong, very very wrong. Sirius just nodded wordlessly. "Where?" Said Harry his eyed darkening until the normally bright green color was closer to that of storm clouds just before a tornado and threatening unstoppable destruction all the same.(1)
"The Rat, The Weasley boys rat." Sirius managed to get out trying not to stutter and show just how freaked out he was at the moment. "We were all animagus, we could turn into animals Peter was a rat. I would know that rat anywhere." He said Harry starred for another few seconds and nodded before turning on his heel and staking up the lawn to the castle. "Harry? Harry what are you doing you can't..." Sirius trailed off as Harry turned back to glare at him shutting him up instantly before continuing up to the castle. He watched his pup walk off and took a deep breath before cursing and changing, bounding after Harry as quickly as possible. Getting caught be dammed he wasn't loosing this kid now not when he was so close!
Orion for his part was beyond pissed, the Potters may not have been his real family, but that had still died to protect him. Bennu had told him that, that much at least was true. And now he learn that the person responsible for their deaths was still free? NOT. FOR. LONG. He heard a thump of paws hitting the ground behind him and didn't need to look to know Sirius had followed him.
Hermonie paused mid sentence a weird look crossing her face Remus gave her a concerned look. "Hermonie?" He asked she blinked focusing back on him.
"Somethings wrong." She said confusion evident on her face
"Wrong? Can you be a bit more specific?" He asked she shook her head.
"It Orion he angry...Really angry." Her frown deepened as Remus looked on mystified she just shook her head again bolting for the door. "We have to find him he'd going to do something stupid if we don't!" She called racing away Remus in hot pursuit. It took him a few minutes of running before he was able to deduce that they were heading for the Griffondor common room. She hit corridor just outside the common room and made an abrupt left turn away from the dorms and shot down the hall. Remus realized why a moment later as Orion came into view stalking down the corridor. What he realized then was what was walking next to him.
Black.
Remus snarled drawing his wand and preparing to curse the traitorous bastard to hell and back for his crimes only for Orion to stop him in his tracks with a look. "Orion whats wrong?" Asked Hermonie having not even noticed the dog let alone its significantly. Orion sighed and looked over at Remus.
"Sirius didn't betray the Potters it was Peter." He said darkly Remus eyes widened almost comically and he shot a look at the massive dog at Orions side which just stared at him balefully.
"What? How do you know?" Hermonie asked confused.
"Black swore an oath on his soul and magic, if he was lying he would have died." Was the simple response Hermonie blinked looking numbplused.
"But...If he's been here the whole time, why did he decide tell you this now?" She asked Orion shrugged.
"Ask him, now I have a rat to kill so excuse me." He said trying to step past her Hermonie narrowed her eyes and blocked him.
"Orion you need to calm down." She said sharply he just glared at her, "If you just go off like this your going to blow our cover! Is revenge for something that happened 13 years ago really worth our freedom Orion?" She asked tartly Orion hesitated. "Im not asking you to let the guy leave here alive, Im asking you to stop and think we need a quieter way to do it then just blasting into the common room." Orion sighed and seemed to deflate a bit looking tired.
"Your right." He said after a moment glancing over at the dog with a frown Hermonie smiled looking relived.
"You had me worried for a minute their Orion." She said wryly her just rolled his eyes.
"Right, now how do you propose we get Peter then?" He asked
"Where exactly is Peter?" Asked Remus annoyed. "I hardly think that a dead man wouldn't have been noticed hiding out in the griffondor common room." He pointed out Sirius just snorted and glared at him evilly.
"Perter is Ron Weaselys Rat." Orion said Remus stared at him for a moment before growling softly.
"Your absolutely certain its the right rat?" He asked the massive black dog which nodded. "Right I'll call Weasley to my office, stun the boy and grab the rat." He said stiffly, stalking off everyone stared after him a little startled by Remus's sudden viciousness before jogging after the angry werewolf.
Ron jumped nearly knocking his goblet of pumpkin juice off the table where he was playing chess with himself when the house elf appeared with a crack. He glared at the little creature in irritation. "I's have a note from professor Lupin for Mr. Weasley's" She squeaked. Ron shrugged and snagged the note from the elf without a word ignoring the elf which promptly vanished. Ron opened the note with a frown and was forced to read the note over several times to puzzle out all the words.
Mr. Weasley I had heard that your rat was sick and I believe I know what may be wrong with him. If you and your rat could come to my office as soon as you receive this note I would appreciate it.
Ron grinned a cure for scabbers! He thought happily racing up to his room to grab the sleeping rat off his pillow. He paused frowning as he tried to remember where professor Lupins office was before remembering that it was attached to the DADA classroom and running off.
Orion stood by the door wand drawn with one hand on his undrawn sword, Remus was sitting behind his desk with Black in grim form by his feet hidden from view, and Hermonie was behind the door that led back into the classroom as backup if anything happened. After 20 minutes of waiting everyone flinched as someone pounded on the door.
"Come in Mr. Weasley!" Called Remus politely Ron banged the door open bounding into the room his rat in one hand, Orion didn't even give him the chance to say anything before he shot a stunner at Rons back. The Griffondor keeled over like a felled tree dropping the rat which squeaked in surprise and tried to make a run for it only to be dropped by another stunner from Remus.
There was a tense silence for a moment before Remus stood up not taking his eyes off the stunned rat. "Blacks right, I would know that rat anywhere." He said stiffly walking around the desk and flicking his wand with a muttered incantation. A bolt of soft blue light impacted the unconscious rat which seemed to warp for a moment before being replaced by a short, dirty, fat man dressed in near rags.
A low growl sounded from behind Remus's desk as Sirius staked out changing from grim to human mid stride. "Wormtail..." He growled Remus put a hand on Sirius's shoulder bringing him to a halt.
"Sirius don't, we need to clear your name, we can't do that if he'd dead." He said placatingly Sirius just growled.
"So what now?" Asked Hermonie walking back into the room as Orion dragged Ron out of the way and dropped him in the corner.
"Well, lets see what Peter has to say for himself then I'll drop him off at the ministry." Remus said conjuring ropes around his arms and reversing the stunning spell. Peter groaned prying his eyes opened looking around confusion. When he spotted the murderously glaring Sirius Black staring down at him his eyes got really big. His eyes darted around before landing on Orion, and showing that he paid about as much attention as Ron promptly tried to appeal to Orion's conscious.
"Ha...Harry!" He stuttered "Th...The la..st time I s...saw you were just a baby!" He finished smiling pathetically at Orion who's expression merely darkened. He snarled and raised his wand to curse the Rat when the door suddenly slammed open and his and Hermonies wands were wrenched from their hands. They stared at the man now standing in the doorway in surprise.
"Snape?" Orion said,Remus and Sirius tensed glaring back at the smirking man.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" He asked looking around the room like he owned it. Orions hand crept to his sword, but was halted by a sharp look from Hermonie.
"Professor Snape." Stated Remus tartly Snap glanced at him disdainfully.
"Ah the wolf." He said grinning evilly "I told the headmaster that it was you helping black get in, but he wouldn't listen to me!" He said triumphantly his wand pointed at Sirius. "Now I believe you have a date with a Dementor Black!" He said with a laugh, Sirius got a wild look in his eyes at the mention of the Dementors and lunged without a second thought. Snape reacted instantly though, and luckily for Sirius only cast a stunner dropping him in his tracks.
Orion shot forward as well drawing his sword as he went only to be blasted into the wall next to remus. This gave Peter the chance he'd been waiting for, the rat animagus who had gotten loose from his ropes while Snape distracted everyone, made a mad dash for the now open door. With Black unconscious and Snape holding remus and Orion at wand point Hermonie was the only one close enough to make a grab for the fleeing man, but Peter was quick, and he ducked under her grab as Hermonie fell to the ground, but he wasn't quiet lucky enough as a flash and a bang followed a moment later temporarily blinding everyone in the room.
In the ensuing confusion Orion knocked Snaps wand out of his hand and stunned him as Remus hit the door with a repelling charm slamming it closed. Orion spun back to check on Hermonie only to pause with a confused look at what he saw. Hermonie was still on the ground her one arm outstretched like she had just thrown something, with an unconscious and slightly smoking Peter a few feet in front of her. Hermonie was looking back between her hand and Peter in a mystified way.
"Ah, Hermonie?" Asked Orion slowly she glanced over at him with a frown.
"Yes,...?" She asked glancing back at the slight scorch mark on her palm.
"I thought I was the one with the monopoly on throwing lightning at people..." He said drily she snorted.
"You know, I was under that same impression." She agreed rolling onto her back and taking his hand so he could pull her to her feet. Orion took her other hand and inspected the light burn mark before letting her go.
"Its fine no real damage just wash your hands and it should be fine." He said she nodded looking back down at Peter.
"I didn't kill him did I?" She asked Orion walked over and rolled the bastard over.
"Eh, he's still breathing." He said with a shrug Hermonie nodded.
"Good enough for me, but how did I do that? Im a daughter of Poseidon! I shouldn't be able to control lightning!" She said.
"Are you sure you weren't just using you magic when you did that?" Asked Remus from across the room where he was tying up Snape, Hermonie just shook her head no.
"No if feels different when I use mortal magic, that felt like Orions magic." She said Remus frowned his expression turning thoughtful as he looked between the two of them.
"Earlier, before we caught up with Orion and Black, you knew he was angry. You sensed his emotions from halfway across the castle." He said slowly Orion shot Hermonie a surprised look.
"You did?" He asked she just nodded looking confused.
"Ya I did." She agreed "You know, now that I think about it thats happened before."
" Ok...but how is that possible?" He asked annoyed Remus shrugged looking thoughtful and was about to answer when a burst of fire cut him off. Bennu appeared, for once in his Phoenix form rather then his humanoid one.
"I had been wondering if this would happen!" He said brightly, Hermonie and Orion exchanged odd looks.
"If what would happen?" Asked Orion.
"If your magic would bond as it has." He replied.
"Wait a moment your not referring to a soul bond are you? Their only kids!" Squawked Remus looking rather outraged. Bennu just favored him with an amused look.
"Humans have long attached many romantic ideas to soul Bonds, in reality soul bonds are most common between siblings; especially twins and are in no way related to anything of that nature." Bennu stated drily Remus looked a little embarrassed at this.(2)
"Oh, um continue please." He said awkwardly Bennu just smirked at him.
"As I was saying a soul bond such as this occurs usually between siblings that are especially close, it allows them to sense the others emotions as well as share their magic. This would be why Hermonie blasted Peter with lightning. Speaking of Peter shouldn't one of you tie him up before he gets away?" Bennu asked pointedly they spun around to see Peter trying to drag himself away before anyone noticed and Remus threw a stunner at him knocking the rat flat on his face again. "Ah much better. " Muttered Bennu.
"So if what you say is true and Hermonie can use my ability to control lightning then shouldn't I be able to control water?" Asked Orion Bennu nodded.
"With practice yes, but keep in mind that those borrowed abilities will never be as strong as they are with their originator. You Orion, will maybe be able to breath under water like hermonie, and maybe control water to a very limited extent. Hermonie as we know can control minor lighting bolts I wouldn't advise trying anything more powerful then what you used on Peter though." He said looking at Hermonie "You would likely only harm your self if anything even happened." She nodded.(3)
"Ok as fascinating as this conversation is we have a supposedly dead guy, a wanted criminal, and an unconscious mind controlled professor in the room what exactly are we supposed to do with them?" Asked Orion.
AN/ you all hate me right now don't you? ^_^
(Camp halfblood)
Percy tossed a drachma into the mist on the fountain upstairs in the cabin. "Sally Jackson New York." He said clearly fingering the falcon pendent in his hand as he waited for the message to go through. There was a pause before the image resolved itself into his mothers kitchen. Sally was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee. "Mom!" He called she glanced up surprised and spotted the Iris message he face breaking into a smile.
"Percy! How are you?" She asked looking happy Percy smiled back.
"Good, unfortunately I need your help with something mom." He said apologetically her face turned Serious in an instant as she put her coffee cup.
"Whats wrong?" She asked.
"Well, you know how when I dream I see other places and the future sometimes?" He asked she nodded smiling wryly.
"Yes I do, it always made hiding your Christmas presents something of an adventure." She said drily making Percy wince slightly.
"Uh ya, anyway I had one last night that was a bit different and I didn't recognize the god I met he said you would know of him though and he gave me this." He said holding up the falcon pendant. Sally frowned looking thoughtful.
"A falcon? Did he give you a name?" She asked he nodded.
"Yes, He called himself Horus and it sounds familiar but I just cant place it!" He said frustrated. Sally gave him a blank look for a second.
"Your getting long distance calls from Horus?" She asked somewhat incredulously Percy shrugged.
"I guess, but who is that?" He asked Sally rubbed her forehead with a sigh for a moment before answering.
"Percy Horus is an Egyptian God." She said after a moment Percy blinked numbplused.
"Egyptian?" He said, "But hows that possible the Greek gods are the ones that are real." He said confused Sally just shook her head.
"I asked your father about that one time, as I understood it all the mythologies of the world are real, but exist in parallel realties to each other. So its entirely possible that you did in fact talk to Horus but the real question is why did he call you? Poseidon said that the other groups of gods never leave their own worlds unless something is really wrong. What did you see while you were there?" She asked Percy blinked shaking himself out of his shocked daze.
"Oh um, well, at first I was in some stone room watching an older guy read some ancient looking book, then these two kids a little older then me came in, their names were Orion and Hermonie, and the older guy called them Demigods and said they were going to have to practice more if the wanted to get home alive. Then I was in a temple of some kind listening to Horus talking to some woman. I think they were talking about whether I got the first part of the vision or not. Then Horus noticed me and said he was glade his spell had worked and he gave me the falcon and said it would let Hermonie and Orion find me when the time comes and sent me back." He finished a little out of breath. Sally frowned at him looking thoughtful.
"Well, you know that the gods can't help demigods directly, not really. So if two Greek demigods ended up in the Egyptian gods world whether by accident or not. They can't just call up their parents and tell them to come pick them up. Those two would have to find their own way home." She said slowly Percy grinned at his mother.
"You are the smartest person I know mom." He said she smiled.
"Thank you Percy, now you said he said the pendant would let them find you right?" She asked he nodded. "In that case don't loose it, if any of the science fiction is to be believed traveling between realties like that is very difficult, they would need some way to identify the world they were going to, apart from that though Percy I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should call your father and ask him about it?" She said Percy frowned slightly.
"I don't think that would be a good idea." He said after a moment. "Iv never told anyone other then you about what I can see, and I don't think I should...Yet." He added Sally frowned slightly and nodded.
"If thats how you feel then you should probably follow your instincts Percy." She said he nodded.
"Thanks for the help though mom." He said smiling she nodded and cut through the Iris message ending the call. Percy looked down at the falcon pendant in his hand before unhooking the clasp and putting it on. The chain was just the perfect length to hide the falcon under his shirt which Percy was grateful for Dionysus would probably incinerate him for having it if he caught him.
