Yep, I'm thinking about like a specific timeline for the situation, and also about like crazy summers at the camp half-blood and demigod stuff, and also the reaction of the characters, sounds crazy.
Idk whos gonna narrate, so I'm just thinking about it
Well, I'm writing the first chapter (I don't know if I want Apollo or Draco pov, or just a standard narration as I usual do, I wanna innovate a little bit with this (so maybe you can advice me with this), I just saw your answer, so I will tell you what I think about the origin I'm planing or trying to plan. How is Apollo the father of Draco?
I have several options, as I’m trying to stick a bit to the canon of the books, and I already have a timeline more or less set up so it makes sense (I have to ignore events that happened in different time periods, but I’ll explain that to you later).
Well, the first one is the simplest, and I don’t really like it much, to be honest. Basically, before the wedding, Draco’s mother, considering that her marriage was only for pureblood status and all the pressure around it, went off and had a brief affair with Apollo without Lucius finding out cough cough. And that would be pretty much bad drama, and I’m not sure I can write marriages like that, but it’s an idea.
Then, another idea is that Lucius had fertility problems, or Narcissa did, either one, and they had to do some ritual or pray to something, some spell that got Apollo involved somehow (maybe he saw in a vision that he would have a child with Narcissa, and maybe there’s a prophecy about him, something like he would end badly if he didn’t have contact with his true paternal side, cough cough what happens in the canon involving Voldemort and everything that happened, and Apollo initially decided not to interact but later became human and after turning back into a god, decided to intervene). Maybe some ancestor from either the Malfoy or Black line came from demigods who ended up in the magical world or something like that. I don’t have it fully planned, but that’s roughly the idea. And well, after trying that, Draco was conceived, and this would be better, because it would mean more pureblood or something. So, in the minds of both parents, Draco is totally theirs and pureblood, so I don’t know how they’d react if, well, he’s not totally pureblood (hey, maybe they’d take it well realizing Draco has even superior blood or something). Or maybe Lucius knew it couldn’t be, and they thought Draco was born as a blessing from something, I’m not sure. The point is, one way or another, they have a slight idea that Draco is different but at the same time not.
The last one, but the worst plan, the freakiest scene, Apollo for a moment had a Zeus complex and did the thing Zeus did, pretending to be Lucius to do fruity things with Narcissa, and that’s how Draco came about. But this is really, really OOC, I think, and strange.
In the case of Hermione being Athena's daughter, well, Hermione's father wasn't unfaithful to her mother, considering that Athena's children are born from her imagination, maybe one day they found a basket on the doorstep with something like "this is your daughter, and she's totally yours by blood" addressed to Hermione's father, maybe, they both took it, like woah, our daughter came like in fairy tales or something. And when she turned out to be a wizard, they "understood" what this was all about, that's the only idea I have. This will sound more logical, explained in another way, but I'm tired of typing.
In Harry's case it's a little easier to think of, he spent his life away from the magical world, the muggle world, let's imagine that at some point in his life he had a terrible time and I don't know, the Dursleys went to America for some business, and there something happened to him that left him on the brink of death, some incident, living with the Dursleys is the incident, and Thanatos, seeing or rather feeling that aura, of literally having been close to death and everything with Voldemort, became curious and blessed him, or something like that.
In Zabini's case, I'm thinking he's a mortal who can see through the mist, who looks like "WTF" when he sees Draco Malfoy running around the muggle world in Italy or something. Or make him a descendant of some other pantheon.
The rest is canon, as for the timeline I plan to have it more or less set after the Prisoner of Azkaban, and just imagine that everything that happened in Percy Jackson happened and now it's after the trials of Apollo.
This idea sounds soo interesting, so that's what I have for now. Also, I have an idea about their abilities but yeah yeah. What do you think?? I don't know who will be narrating, I'm deciding about Draco or Apollo, and if it's that if I narrate in third person, or in first person like in pjo (never narrated something like that but i could try)
I'm a girl of few words, so my response is REALLY simple.
In terms of how draco is a son of apollo, the second answer feels authentic and a lot more interesting than the others (the first is also likely to happen, as you said, and the third feels weird but also possible if you consider draco being born before the trials) (it's actually very ooc so maybe don't do that-)
To add on to your idea, maybe the granger parents, whatever they're called, attracted Athena's attention in some way, and she deemed them worthy of a child of hers. (Whatever that means)
To simplify your explanation about Harry's situation, you could say that the simple act of mercy that made Thanatos keep Harry alive was only possible because said god decided to claim him as his son (It could be related to Harry being a Horcrux too)
You can do whatever you want with Blaise. I really just mentioned him as a mortal who can see them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The timeline's good, and thanks! ^^ If you're stuck on perspectives, you can always switch them around. :)
In an alternative from the alternative in an alternative universe Apollo got freaky with Narcissa, pretending to be Lucius HAHAHAHA. But yeah, I think the second idea is the best one.
"To add on to your idea, maybe the Granger parents, whatever they're called, attracted Athena's attention in some way, and she deemed them worthy of a child of hers. (Whatever that means)." I mean Athenea is a Greek god, she has the right to be a little bit weird, two mortals with gold brains or something, idk, the conclusion Hermione is her kid, totally understandable.
"To simplify your explanation about Harry's situation, you could say that the simple act of mercy that made Thanatos keep Harry alive was only possible because said god decided to claim him as his son (It could be related to Harry being a Horcrux too)." I like that, maybe the fact of Harry being an horcrux made Thanatos interested in Harry at first.
Yeah, yeah, but I don't know which one will start the fic, Draco's perspective or Apollo's perspective of arriving to the station 9 3/4 to pick up his son or Draco seeing a weird blonde sunny guy who's telling him I'm your father and then "kidnapping" him with Harry Potter and taking them to Italy to pick up some suits, and then again kidnapping Hermione to go together to Italy, or just Apollo perspective in the situation like I went to pick up my son and his friends lmao.
I'm also thinking, about what's Zeus will do, I'm thinking that in the wizard world, gods should'nt have a lot of influence, some impediment.
Now the demigodliness of their bloodline is sorted out, I guess-
If you're really confused about which perspective to start the story with, I suggest going with Draco's because he would know just as much as the readers in the beginning (kind of) and the weirdness of everything else would be a little less expected. (or something)
Regarding the gods' influence, you could make them the root of the wizarding world or make the wizarding world a pantheon in itself. For the first idea, they wouldn't be able to interfere that much because of how distanced both sides (Greek and wizarding) are. (Note that if you go for the first option, it would be better to have them be connected to the Roman side because of all the Latin and Roman references.)
Zeus would probably be incredibly pissed and whatever he does won't seem weird because he does a lot of crazier things. (aka, I have no idea)
By the way, do you need a beta reader 💀? No offence-
Thanks I just realized I've been comiting that dumb mistake while talking, english is not my first language but I'm studying in an anglophone university so I've been using that language with professors, dammit. No one corrected me. AAAAAAAA
Well, it's not that bad, but seriously, even if I had checked what I wrote four times, I wouldn't have realized my mistake.
It's fine, it's not my first language either (even though I speak it way more than French-). The problem is mostly the placement of commas and apostrophes. ^^ Oh, and your sentence would have also been alright if you removed the "have."
That's basically what I wrote, trying to explain myself and understand the characters well, so, yeah
