After much thought, and a conversation with amerdism, I have decided to go ahead a repost the original version of this story. Please note though, this version is not being updated beyond the original chapters that I had.

Real life has been both a blessing and curse, graduate school a pain and certain characters changing the direction of the story every time I turn around. Please note, the new version will probably be much different in some aspects (hopefully, more realistic). Anyways enjoy.

I do not own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson.

Prologue

As Poseidon crept towards his destination, he stuck to the shadows as much as possible. He didn't want to be caught, especially not by another Olympian. He was going to the last place anybody would ever expect him to go, the last place anyone would look for him. He was on his way to the house of his arch-rival, Athena. He approached the door that was his destination and knocked twice. Three seconds later, an arm threw open the door and yanked him inside.

"You weren't followed were you?" Athena interrogated as soon as she had re-locked the door, "I don't want anybody to know about what has occurred."

"You know, for a goddess of wisdom getting into this mess in the first place was not very smart," snapped Poseidon. He truly was not in the mood for her attitude today.

"Don't you think I realize that? Just answer the question, kelp-head, so we can get on with what needs to be done," retorted Athena.

"No, I wasn't followed. Amphitrite believes that I'm somewhere in the Pacific Ocean solving an issue for a family of dolphins - which I do need to do soon," responded Poseidon.

"Well then. Let's get this over with," Athena sighed.

She really didn't want to do this, but it was the only option available if she and Poseidon planned on staying out of serious trouble. Never did she dream that she would make a mistake such as this. She, Athena, had broken her oath to forever be a maiden. Not only had she broken it, but she had broken it with the person that she despised most on this planet. Now, a few months later, they were hiding the last traces of evidence of their crime.

She didn't remember exactly how it had happened. She and Poseidon both remembered going to her house to work on some plan or another for the council, probably the one for better housing in the southern part of Olympus. Anyway, they were about an hour into their arguing… ummm… planning and on something around their fifth round of drinks of some very delicious nectar when things become blurry. The next thing either of them remembered was waking up in bed together and Athena pushing a disgruntled Poseidon out the door swearing the whole while that he had better keep his big mouth shut. Unfortunately, for them both, a couple days later she began exhibiting the symptoms, and after a store bought test, it was confirmed, Athena, goddess of wisdom, was pregnant by Poseidon, god of the sea.

Nine months later, nine long months of hiding, lying, and avoiding, their daughter had made her appearance. They named her Ari. She was the first full goddess born in centuries, and her birth should have led to an enormous celebration. Instead, her parents were trying to figure out how to keep her a secret. After many long hours of arguing, they had agreed on a plan.

Both knew of Hecate's blessed ones who had formed their own sort of secret society. The gods were not allowed to interfere in it because it was Hecate's "pet project." Their daughter would be safe among these people and would not be found by their family.

"When is Hecate going to arrive?" Poseidon asked for the twelfth time.

"She'll arrive when she arrives, and if you ask again, I'm going to gut you like the fish you are!" Athena snapped in response.

They both wanted to get the painful part over. Even if neither would admit it, they had come to love the little girl in the three days they'd spent with her since her birth. Suddenly, there was a bright light and Hecate, goddess of magic, stood in the library of Athena.

"What is it that you have summoned me for?" Hecate inquired almost immediately after taking in her surroundings.

"We need your assistance with a problem," Athena informed the minor goddess.

Hecate nodded and moved to sit on one of the arm chairs in the library.

"And, what problem would that be? I can't help you if I don't know what it is that I am helping with," pushed Hecate.

To be honest, she already had a feeling about what had happened. Most of the minor gods and goddesses did. While the two had succeeded in avoiding the Olympians, they hadn't put as much of an effort into avoiding the minors. The minors had all secretly celebrated the birth and hoped to help the child as she grew.

"Well you see…" Poseidon began telling their story with Athena adding details that Poseidon forgot or neglected to bring up.

"I see. Well, I can help you, and I know of just the family that little Ari can stay with. The wife just found out that she's incapable of having kids, and they are looking to adopt. However, be warned - for about the past ten years there has been chaos among my people. I am hoping that they will resolve it soon on their own, but if not, I will intervene," Hecate warned the two Olympians.

"Are you sure it will end soon?" questioned a worried Poseidon. He didn't want to send his daughter into unknown danger. If it was between that and his family, he would risk his family finding out. Unknown to him, Athena was thinking along the same lines.

"The issue is being taken care of. Now, where is the little one?" Hecate assured the parents with a small smile.

"She's in my room asleep. It is, after all, after eleven at night," replied Athena.

"Let's get this done. Athena, go get her. The sooner this is over the better," Poseidon directed. If he was honest with himself, he just didn't want to have to hold off goodbye any longer than necessary.

Athena left the room and came back a minute later with a baby girl bundled in a soft pink blanket. She lifted the corner of the blanket to reveal a rosy cheeked baby with black hair and stormy grey eyes.

"You two created a wonderful child. This is your last chance: are you sure you want to give her up?" questioned Hecate.

"To be honest, I would love nothing more than to raise her as she should be. However, we have both agreed to this. Now is not the time for a secret this big to be revealed," responded Poseidon with deep sadness in his eyes.

Athena nodded her agreement. They had been discussing this since they had found out Athena was pregnant. Neither liked the idea, but it was what they both thought was for the best.

Hecate sighed before rising and standing before the two Olympians.

"Very well. Your daughter is a full goddess, and that is her birthright. I will dampen her powers so that she is no more powerful than a strong demigod. By doing this, she will fall under the rules of no direct interference until she discovers who you are and who she is. Little Ari will need to grow up as any normal demigod would until that time."

"We can still watch over her until then?" Athena asked for clarification.

Hecate nodded, "Of course. Now, she will have to discover for herself who you are and who she is. Her powers will, however, be released upon her 18th birthday," She paused to give both a stern expression before continuing. "You had better confront her by then or there will be serious issues."

After checking to make sure that they understood her warning, she grabbed Ari, covered her eyes and flashed to the home of the couple that would become Ari's adoptive parents. She arrived at the cottage in Godric's Hollow and walked swiftly towards the door. Hecate made sure on her way to the door that she was properly disguised. She knocked on the door and was answered a few seconds later.

"Yes, how can I help you?" A woman with long red hair and bright green eyes asked.

"Yes, I am from the hospital and have come to inform you that a child was left at the hospital after the parents decided that they could not take care of her. You left your name to be considered, and we were wondering if you would like to care for the little girl."

"Oh! Come in," the woman invited with eyes that were much brighter than they had been just seconds before and moved aside for Hecate to come inside. "James, get in here now!"

"What Lily-flower? Has Padfoot come with news from the Order?" a man with black hair and hazel eyes questioned as he entered the room.

"No. Apparently a couple put their little girl up for adoption, and we have been chosen to take her in. Isn't this exciting?!" Lily exclaimed before turning back to Hecate. "Can I hold her?"

Hecate handed Ari to Lily and leaned back on the couch waiting for the questions that were sure to come. She could tell immediately that Lily was in love, and if the way that James was hovering was any indication, the child would be well cared for until she was old enough.

"Is this true… ummm?" James inquired realizing he doesn't know the lady's name.

"Sorry, my name is Melanie. I work at the hospital. This little angel's name is Ari," responded Hecate.

"Well, thank you very much for choosing us. We were devastated when we discovered that Lily was unable to have kids. That is why we signed up at the hospital," James thanked.

"Does this mean that you will adopt her?" Hecate asked, despite already knowing the answer.

"Of course, when do we fill out the paperwork?" asked Lily holding Ari and already falling in love with the little girl in her arms.

"There is no reason to worry about that. It has all already been taken care of," Hecate smirked. It was one of the perks of being a goddess, she could make documents that never existed before appear out of nowhere completely signed and authenticated.

"Well then, thank you again. We promise to take care of her," James said, with Lily nodding in the background.

With that, James showed Hecate to the door, and Hecate flashed herself, once she was around the corner, back to her house on Mt. Olympus. She knew that this would not end without minor tragedies, but she hoped it would all work out in little Ari's favour. Little did Hecate know that in just over a year, little Ari Potter would lose her new family to a mad man who was trying to take over the wizarding world. She would be taken by an aged wizard to her aunt and uncle's to be raised. Her childhood would not be peaceful or cheerful, but it would definitely be eventful.
