The way most of the Greek gods are depicted in Percy Jackson are really only accurate to their modern day pop culture representation. You can hide behind the multiple stories with no real canon all you want but that doesn't change the fact most of the major gods have a at least a few consistent characteristics with Riordan ignoring most of them as well as ignoring symbolic and cultural factors of said stories.

But here's the thing, as annoying as I find it when PJO fans pretend Riordan's version of the gods is accurate, I don't actually care that they're not. My issue is him randomly dragging character's to raise up other characters often to the harm of his own stories followed by fans defending him claiming that's just how it is in Greek myth (it's not, most of the stories are very symbolic and a big part of stories where the gods punish people, the gods are supposed to be in the right due to said people disrespecting gods in a major way, something highly frowned upon in every religion, not to mention that as much as we know about Greek religion, there's far more that we don't).

The rest of the chapter is just the three of them sitting in the back of a mail truck going a thousand miles an hour while Percy tries to explain to Nico demigod life isn't as fun as it seems while also trying not to piss off Hermes. And I demand this concept be used more often.

All I can imagine is no one finding out their true parentage but assuming it's Hermes and that these two are just his favorites so they get to camp and all the kids but especially the Hermes kids are just so jealous. Or Lukes freaking reaction.

Then after a while of it being assumed who their godly parent is someone mentioned it to or in front of the di Angelo's and their just like ' that not our dad, that's just our babysitter.'

That's when all of camp learned that not only was their real dad somewhat present during their childhood enough for them to know what he looks like as well as some of his personality but also hired an Olympian as their babysiterr.

Combine this with other heroes like Batman visiting Fawcett to try and figure out more about Captain Marvel and his family/team only for his brain to short circuit mintues after arriving from all the chaos and impossibility of everything.

Billy could have his own podcast or Radio show that's super popular even outside the city with him reporting on everything. He has an "odd things that happened this week" segment but it's all like normal stuff for everyone else but completely weird for citizens of Fawcett. The city could have a feud with both Gotham and/or Metropolis citizens.

Like John and Billy will never interact only to mention John being at the rock of eternity one time but the moment any JL member asks about it the two of them will start spewing the absolutely craziest stories imaginable that are too confusing for anyone to question. The Justice League thinks they're either friends or hate each other when in reality neither really cares about the other they just both like messing with the JL.

Zatanna will make comments about being really good friends with Mary and training/learning magic with her leaving the JL to assume it was when they were both younger.

The Spectre and Phantom Stranger will mention them being connected to a team of ancient super powerful individuals. One day one of the GLs or Superman spots the two of them, Zatanna and Fate having breakfast with Captain Marvel and Mary on the moon.

They'll ask Doctor Fate about it and he'll just be like, "Oh yeah, I knew them before they joined the JL. Both our parents were archeologists. Their mentor was a Lord of Order. One of their dead brothers is connected to the lords of chaos." Or he'll just stare at them like their dumb and vanish.

This has also caused many of them to be confused about the magic community in general.

The real tipping point though is when the guardians overhear earths GLs discussing a recent mission and mention a member of the Marvel Family only for Ganthet to be like "oh Shazam and his kids, yeah I know them. I visit the rock of eternity all the time. What trouble did they get into now."

So I decided to write an actual au/hc type list for how I would want a Shazam and Harry Potter Crossover to go at request from a friend

1. The Wizard doesn't like Dumbledore nor the wizarding world in general

The only reason why the headmaster got a chance to speak with Billy and his siblings is because John owed Dumbledore and upon finding out about Voldemort they wanted to help

Billy, Mary, Freddy, and Kit are the ones who go

2. When they first meet Voldemort they don't actually believe he's the real dark lord everyone had been telling them about because to them he was so weak

Because of this they spend nearly the whole time mocking him and treating him like some common street crook

Voldemort was kind of (absolutely) terrified when the killing curse didn't work on them

3. They are known as the Champions of Magic apprentices being capable of using minor spells and weakened versions of their Shazam powers outside of their Shazam forms

Mary is the most skilled at using magic in her regular form

Billy is the only one who majorly struggles with this bc Mary and Freddy have both shifted so they look like themselves when they change (in the Power of shazam they could change clothes and I'm keeping that)

3. The four of them are technically considered muggles though with the whole powers tied to the wizard and rock of eternity they can do nearly any kind of magic (except for kit but his power set is different then the other three)

4. There are also various types of magic (wizard bloodline magic, divine magic, muggle magic) with the wizarding world being one of the lowest ranking

5. The ministry of magic has done so much to cover this up over the years combined with a lot of magic super heroes being more on the down low, very few in the modern wizarding world are aware of how low ranking they are on the power scale and will often bully muggle born/raised students who try to claim otherwise

6. The four of them get permission (also can be read as forced the staff to let them) to form a combat club ran by them in their hero forms where they practice using magic in real world scenarios

Despite only being a club, it's more intense then even seventh year DADA because to the Marvel family real world scenarios include fighting gods, supervillains, and literal demons

7. They often invite other magic users or members of the super hero community as guest for the club with wonder woman and Zatanna being the most recurring

As awe struck they were when wonder woman showed up to teach them combat, nearly everyone lost their minds when Mary once convinced Doctor Fate to stop by and they realized just how overpowered he was, being capable of making even the marvel family seem weak

8. Instead of being real students, their labled as guest students whoch allowed for Mary to be an extra participant in the tri wizard tournament with Mary being able to use all her powers due to looking the same as Mary Marvel

Needless to say Cedric didn't die this time around

9. The marvel family or other magic super heroes like Zatanna are a really big deal to muggle born/raised wizards
