"YELLING"

Aphrodite watched as the two magic users said their farewells, and left. Looking back at her son, a small smile brightened her face, as she looked at him. She did not like the black substance that dwelled within it, but if Hades was going to be attending the meeting that Zeus called for, as was insinuating from the meeting call from Zeus himself, then perhaps it was best to wait before she removed it.

"Just be patient a little bit longer, my sweet little child." Aphrodite gently said to her sleeping infant, as she caressed his face. "That foul soul won't be in you for much longer, I promise."

Not wanting to risk harm to her son, she summoned for her flying chariot. In no time at all, it appeared, pulled by a flock of her signature birds: doves. Once the chariot pulled up to her, she stepped aboard, readjusted Harry in her arms, and then took the reins in her one free hand, and flicked them. The doves then began to pull the chariot, and Divine Mother and Son traveled to the regal city of Olympus. Since the doves were enchanted, they managed to get Aphrodite and Baby Harry across the ocean and to Olympus in fast time.

Once she was at Olympus, and the doves landed the chariot in front of the royal palace of Olympus, Aphrodite strode into the building, with her son still nestled in her arms. Aphrodite walked towards the council chamber, where the other gods and goddesses were meeting. As she got closer, she was hearing loud voices coming from the chamber.

"I AM TELLING YOU," The unmistakable voice of Hades yelled, disturbing Harry. "THERE IS A MORTAL SOUL THAT HAS NOT ARRIVED IN THE UNDERWORLD WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE!!!"

The loud voice of the Lord of the Underworld was causing Harry to become frightened, as he soon stopped fussing, started to cry. Aphrodite stopped just in the doorway, and proceeded to calm her son down, soothing him until he stopped crying, and fell asleep again. Watching him do so, Aphrodite couldn't help but smile at her precious little child, until she looked back up, and saw the other Olympians and Hades staring at her. Each of them seemed surprised that Aphrodite had appeared with a baby in her arms, but she held her head up, clutched her son to her chest, and strode to her chair between Hephaestus and Athena, and sat down, resting Harry in her lap. Originally it was set between Hephaestus and Ares, but after she ended her affair with him, she had requested that his chair be switched with Athena, to which Zeus had agreed to do so.

Once she was situated, she looked back up and saw that the other Olympians were still staring at her, and her son. She looked to her husband, and while he did seem shocked to see Harry, he rested one of his hands on her arm, and graced her with a smile, clearly supporting her. Aphrodite couldn't help but smile back, grateful for the support that he was giving her. Her attention was broken, as Zeus cleared his throat, attracting her gaze.

"Aphrodite, what exactly, is that in your arms?" He asked, a glare starting to take place on his regal face.

Before Aphrodite could answer, Hera, the Queen of Olympus and Zeus' wife, scoffed at his question.

"Oh honestly Zeus, it is a baby that Aphrodite has with her!" She said, chastising her husband. "Though from what I can tell, it appears that the child in her lap is a demigod."

Aphrodite watched as the Olympians whispered amongst themselves, while Ares simply glared at her. Aphrodite couldn't help but roll her eyes, as it was clear that he still hadn't gotten over her breaking up with him. Nevertheless, she could see that Zeus was trying to regain his composure.
