Hera inwardly groaned when she heard Zeus' voice. She turned to him with a sickly sweet smile. "Zeus, my king, you found us. Fantastic." She spoke with such sarcasm, she instantly knew it would be lost on him.

She laughed at his comment on the weather, knowing that it was only lovely because he wasn't angry and throwing thunderbolts around, which were usually aimed at the mortals.

"This lovely girl is going to help us get home. And maybe find out how we got here in the first place. And like this." She said, indicating to Hermione and completely ignoring the other one. She had yet to find out her name, and so in her mind, she refered to her as Rude Red Girl. She looked down at her 'clothes' and found herself in rough short trousers and a flimsy top with odd looking sandals on her feet. She also wore a odd jumper with a cut down the middle. In modern day clothing, she was wearing denim shorts with a camisole top and cardigan with flip-flops. Her hair had also become different. Instead of being held up, it was loose and curly.

Zeus sighed dreamily when Hera started talking to him with that beautifull smile on her face.
"I had forgotten all about but....How do I look?"He asked, he hadn't seen a reflection of this youngerself of his yet and the memory of his seventeen year old face was long gone by now.
"It isn't too bad is it?, I mean I feel so small and mortal-like."He said the word mortal with near disgust.
"You on the other hand are just as beautifull as over, I''m so lucky to have you as my wife."

"Oh there is no hurry."Zeus said, it was mostly adressed to the girl that Hera was talking about, but he wasn't sure wich one it was.
"Home has gotten a bit boring over the centuries, this could be a nice change....Atleast for a while."

Hera wished Zeus would stop looking at her like that. "You look...okay, I suppose." She replied, "And while you may be lucky, I feel cursed."

Hera was shocked that he thought home was boring. To her, it was a magnificant place, absolutely perfect in her eyes. "Home is where the heart is, and I would rather be there then here. If you find it so boring, leave. I doubt I'd miss you that much."

After wandering around the castle and seeing absolutely no one she sighed and paced back and forth in the corridor until a door appeared out of nowhere. She screamed and jumped back surprised not having ever seen something like that before. Taking a step towards it, she reached out and opened the door. She peeked in to find a beautiful stone room filled with statues and hanging baskets. The aroma of incense filled the air reminding her of her temple. Sighing, she walked over to a bench that was positioned by the window and she sat down laying ehr arms and head on the window ledge and peered out thinking of what to do next.

Zeus' eyes went wide momentarily, before he gave a weak smile as he said.
"You're teasing me......Right?"She couldn't mean all those hurting things she said to him, he thought they both where just as happy with each other as ever.

"Have I done something to anger you?"He now asked, starting to get worried that it might not have been teasing.
"But come on you can't stay angry at me, we belong together Hera....There's a reason why you are my queen."

Hera rolled her eyes, she knew this facade had to come to an end.

"Zeus, honey, of course I don't mean it. It's probably something to do with being here. I just want to go home, I mean, look, we obviously don't belong here. These mortals are witches and wizards with 'magic' whereas we are gods! Don't you want your powers back?" She pouted perfectly. Although she treated Zeus bad, deep down, she did love him. It was just fun to know that she had him round her little finger every once in a while.

Believing that Zeus was now happy with her answer, she reverted her attention to Hermione. "Is there anyone who can help us? I'm assuming that you don't have to potential to send us home. Anyone who is powerful?"

Athena was not fond of Hera and Zeus being together. Athen laughed to herself as Ginny talked back to Hera.
"I say we go looking for Malfoy..." Athena said. "Hera... Zeus I say you two as King and Queen should stay here and guard the entrance to the castle".

Hera looked at Athena when she laughed and heard her suggestion. Why should they guard the castle? Surely as the highest ranking gods, they should take control.

"Why us? We can command greater respect and information from mortals, surely we should go see this Malfoy character?"

"No offense Hera, but Draco Malfoy isn't an ordinary mortal. Firstly he's a wizard, just like all the boys you see around you and secondly he's from a very powerful family. If he finds out that you're the king and queen of gods, then who knows what he'll do," she turned to Ginny and smiled. "Let's go hunting." With that she grabbed Ginny's arm and started to lead Athena to the Great Hall. "See him yet?" she asked.

Eros smiled when her heard Persephone's voice, a little of his anger ebbing away as she handed him his walking stick. "I'm fine," he said. "Dropped this bleeding stick is all," he said, waving the thing in front of his own face. "I understand that love is suppsed to be blind," he said, some bitterness returning, "I even understand that I have to wear a blindfold when I'm granting wishes. But I don't understand why I'm literally blind in the shape of a mortal.

Draco smirked slightly at the two gods before him and, for some reason, had no doubt that they were exactly who they said they were. "Well, we'll need to do some planning, then, won't we? I know a very... quiet place where no one will disturb us. Gentlemen?" he said, leading them into a castle and down a corridor that led directly to the Slytherin common room.

Hermes followed the other boy without question, deciding he rather liked this fellow with the slick, blond hair and the dangerous look on his face. Still, he couldn't help but wish that he had an active power like Eros'. Anything he desired and all he brought himself was a pair of dark glasses and a walking stick? Bah! He felt his heels heat up unexpectedly with his annoyance and jumped in surprise. He looked down at his ankles and saw two wings tattooed on each ankle just where his really wings normally sat when he was in his god form. He cursed the useless skin-drawings and continued walking.

Hermoine saw a pale blonde head going out of the hall and ran after him, "Malfoy!" she yelled. "Great, they've gone down to the common room for Slytherins. Now what do we do?" she asked Ginny and Athena.

"Any chance Harry might know the password? You know what he's like about snooping around after Malfoy sometimes." Ginny suggested as she scowled at the spot where Malfoy had just been. "If not maybe one of this lot," she said, gesturing to the Gods and Goddesses, "can get their friends to come let us in or something?"

Apollo checked a swiftly rising sigh, at his companion's unexpectedly difficult attitude. Sometimes, it could be very hard to get Eros.

"Come now, Eros," Apollo said. "We should stay together, both of us, and make an effort to find out what we are doing here. It should be a.. pleasure. Like another expedition."

Suffice it to say that Apollo did not believe his own words in the least. He would rather have been underneath his favourite tree, with his usual, well-known bow and arrow for company.

"Are you all right, Eros?" she inquired; it looked like he fell. To Apollo, she greeted, "Apollo," with a nod of her head, "When did you arrive here?"

"Persephone," Apollo returned, with coolness. It was not an unfriendly sort of coolness - rather, a friendly one. But, whatever the adjectives used, his voice was cool, and it was cool for all to hear.

"I arrived her some minutes ago," he continued, picking up from where he had left. "I thought Eros might know the reason we are here, so oddly dressed. It seems he does not, either."

He nodded at her, and added, "Perhaps you could help the two of us?"

"Mm," Eros half-agreed without words. He suspected that he doubted Apollo's words just as much as the god doubted them himself, but made no further comment. He was the god of passion and, while irritation and anger were both types of passion, he fought to maintain the good nature he usually wore, though he mutter an unpleasant curse under his breath.

Vowing that he was god his best to make the swear his final outward sign of frustration, he straightened up, but on his brightest grin and said, "Well, then. Where shall we go? Wandering isn't my strong suit in my present state."

"Perhaps we should join those young ladies I saw earlier, on my arrival," Apollo proposed.

He had seen them, whisking out of sight in deep black robes, when he had first arrived on the strange, green land, with the strange, blue sky, as different as possible from his usual places of rest and sleep. One had had a mane of hair that spiralled unendingly, curls over curls on end. The others, he had not seen properly, but he suspected that one or two of the goddesses had been accompanying the young female with the bush for hair.

"I feel they might be able to help us," Apollo continued. "You need not worry about your eyesight - you have me here, for company and guidance. Would you like to accompany us, Persephone?" he added, turning to the goddess in question.

Zeus snorted when Athena said that he and Hera should guard the castle entrance, not only did he see the point of guarding it as he had no idea why and from whom he should guard it.
"Who do you think you are talking to, a rather unwise thing to say for the goddes of wisdom......I'll let it slide this time as your powers and wisdom must be weakened in this mortal like body."Zeus said, glaring at Athena for her arrogance.

"But."He turned to Hera and the expression of his face turned much sweeter."Why should we worry about these mortals here, we should make the best out of the time we have here....There must be fun things to do around here."

"Hm, Harry may know but to be truthful I haven't seen him at all," Hermoine said. She had however spotted Ron, "Hold on Gin, I have to go and apologise to your brother for yelling at him again," she sighed. She walked over to him and sat down beside him, "Ron I'm sorry for snapping and for sending sparks at your feet. I'm just really distressed that I brought back Ancient Greek Gods, and I guess I couldn't tell that you were joking," she said. "Forgive me?"

Ares glanced at Hermes as they walked. “Interesting eh?” He smirked a bit. “We come to Earth and find someone just like you.” He idly wondered where exactly they were going. Feeling something in his pocket, he took it out, and frowned. “A dagger?” He asked, incredulously. “I’ve been reduced to using a dagger?” Annoyed, he put the thing back in his pocket and continued walking.

Hera contemplated it for a while. If Athena wanted to take charge of everything, who was she to stand in her way? For the first time in a lifetime, Hera was free to do whatever she liked. She was seventeen and free.

"Let's leave Athena to get us home. Let's have fun." She said to Zeus, a smile on her face. "Where do you want to go?"

Persephone filled them in on what she knew, "We're in Scotland, at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. That bushy-haired mortal girl," she pointed at Hermione, "Hermione, is a witch. Everyone here are witches and wizards. Anyway, Hermione unknowingly cast a spell in Greek that she didn't know what it meant. It brought all of us gods and goddesses here. We all look so young because - since this Hermione is seventeen - we are all seventeen, too." As an afterthought she added, "Apparently these mortals have some questions for us." She looked at Apollo and Eros to gauge their reaction.

The more Persephone explained and thought about the situation, the more she missed her home in Greece. Even among other gods and goddesses, she felt alone, cluelnd helpless in this foreign place. Her dark brown eyes were lonely.


"Yes," she sighed in agreeance with Apollo, "I suppose they're our best change of getting out of here, though I hate to leave things to mortals. Maybe they or one of their friends - there are more of them - can take us to this headmaster; he sounds authoratative. Surely he would know how to restore us back to Mount Olympus. I'll come with you."

OOC: I can play Dumbledore if if you need. =)

Zeus smiled, as he somehow knew already that he would have a nice time with his Hera, it would be nice to do something different with the goddes that he loved.
"Pfff I have no idea where to go, I barely know where I exactly am."Zeus said glancing around until his eyes eventually rested on the castle.
"The castle seems impressive, perhaps we should make it ours,I always wanted my own...."He trailed off, trying to find the right word."Vacation-house, atleast that's what the mortals call it I believe."

"What do you suggest? We just go in and tell everyone to leave? It's a school! We couldn't possibly kick them all out." Hera replied. She knew that education was important, and nothing should come in the way of that. Athena was constantly going on about mortals needing wisdom.

"We can have a look around, I suppose. Just no telling them to leave, okay?"

Athena followed Hermione and Ginny. She couldnt believe Heras and Zeus attitude.
"If their going to depend on me to get home then their not going to get anywhere" Athena whispered as she listened to Hermione and Ginny talking. "But if they want to get home then fine...Ill send them home".
Athena walked passed Hermione and Ginny and pushed open the Slytherin common room door. "Im a goddess I dont need passwords" Athena smiled.

"Very well my queen."He said with a sigh, he would keep his word and not tell anyone to leave, deciding that striking down a handfull of students would be a much easier way to get the castle for himself but he would have to do that when he gets his original body back, this one was much too weak for it.

"Just looking around it will be then."He said with another sigh as he he headed towards the castle entrance.

Ron looked up and saw Hermione heading toward him. He pretended to go back to reading his book hoping that she would go away. It didn't work. As she sat down beside him he looked up and listened to her. "Yea, I guess." He looked around and sighed, "That's the second time you've pulled your wand on me...think I like it better when you just yell." Especially since you're top of the class...he thought. He looked at her, "You haven't seen Harry anywhere, have you? I couldn't find him anywhere..."
