Immortal Dilemmas
Moving to America proved to be quite simple, they gave the President the truth and in turn were seen as political refugees. America’s magical community was more up to common times and did not believe in putting unnecessary restrictions on a species that had no control of how they came to be. Remus and the boys had to be registered but it was only because MACUSA would be sending supplies to help with his transformation and help in meeting standards to the boys…diets. Teddy was old enough to eat solids, they had given him special cereal that he would enjoy and help with his fast metabolism. The twins were given a cooler filled with donated blood bags to last a week and bottles that would make it appear that they were just having milk. A MACUSA Healer had advised Hailey to mix in her breast milk to the blood. Remus was to be given a potion every month to ease the transformation pain and keep his state of mind intact. He was also given a book of runes that would keep himself confined to an area as long as he was a wolf. One thing that shocked all of them was that in America, you have to be eighteen in order to be considered an adult. It didn’t change their plans but it did add more paperwork as the teens had to go through emancipation.
They told officials of their desired destination and was promptly given several pictures of homes that could fit the large group. Being the Lady of two very well off families came in handy when choosing a new home. The most expensive house offered wouldn’t even put a dent in her inheritance vault, she wouldn’t even need to pull funds from the main vaults to replenish funds. The others didn’t like that she was trying to pay for everything and were gonna speak up about it…until she turned her head slightly to throw them a quick glare. It made an amusing sight for anyone who didn’t know of Hailey Potter’s feats, a petite girl holding two infants to her chest while glaring at the group of older people as if they were misbehaving children. Hailey knew not to be stupid with her money and buy a overly lavish house, a habit formed because of the Dursley’s that she was uncomfortable to buy things for herself but she has no problem spending money for her loved ones. The others relented and agreed to go with whatever decision Hailey would go with. They would need privacy and enough room for everyone, including when the family would want to come and visit.
Hailey decided on getting a white Victorian style mansion that was well isolated on a hill. It wasn’t too far away from town and could be easily updated and fixed with magic. MACUSA had stated that there was a population of supernatural creatures that did not fall under wizarding jurisdiction residing in the town, they’re called supernaturals. They gave the group items that would prevent the supernaturals ability to take advantage of them. The officials had to reassure the group that the items would not hurt the young ones or Remus because of their creature status. They were given options of what to use and they decided on necklaces that they would pass as wearing their family emblem. Hailey made the design: a platinum chain attached to their ‘coat of arms’ that would consist of the deathly hallows symbol, with a sword behind it, and with a lily, stag, and grim in different corners of the emblem. The gem would be obsidian. The young ones couldn’t have necklaces yet so they were given little bracelets instead. MACUSA had strongly advised that if the supernaturals were to cause a ruckus and bring unwanted attention to no-maj’s they could be called to send a obliviate team.
“We survived and won the Blood Wars, we can handle whatever these supernaturals throw at us.”, Ron said in order to ease Hailey when he saw she was getting worried. The thought of having to fend off the population made the group a little anxious but Ron made a point, they have survived too much for them to turn tail. They grabbed the portkey, a flower pot, to travel to Mystic Falls, Virginia. It was around mid afternoon and the house wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow morning. Tonks, Remus, and Teddy were to go to a hotel to get rooms for the night. Hermione and Ron made off with everyone’s shrunken luggage to the new house to get a closer look and what they would need to make it feel and look more like home. Despite the other’s concerns, Hailey went off alone with the twins to look around town. She gathered a lot of attention that reminded her of her time at Hogwarts, she just hoped it was just because she was new to town. With everyone staring at the new mother she made off to find a place with less people not knowing that she had caught the attention of Damon Salvatore with her unique yet familiar scent.
Damon didn’t know why but there was something about the new girl that rubbed him the wrong way. She was hot that was obvious but her scent made him wary, why did she smell like his brother? Ever since that infuriating deal was made with Klaus, all Elena would talk about was getting Stefan back and it made Damon resent him more. Why was it that every girl he was in love with, love Stefan instead? What was it about his little brother that made him so great? As far as Damon could see his brother was boring, predictable, and was too negative. Damon thought himself to be exciting (dangerous) , unpredictable (bipolar), and tries to look on the bright side (hypocrite and only does so when he doesn’t want to accept things as they are). If the new girl has some connection to Stefan he’s going to find out and see if he could use it to his advantage. If she’s not important to his brother he might as well have a little fun with her to get his mind off Elena for a while.
He walked up to the bench she was sitting on and promptly placed himself next to her. He eyed the babies she had with her for a second before disregarding them. He didn’t care about the little rugrats, she was probably just looking after her brother’s for her parents, he just needed to know what her connection to his brother was. She was startled when he sat down causing him to smirk at her. She noticed him eye her boy’s before ignoring them and starting a very uncomfortable conversation with her. Her first impression of this guy was that he was similar to Gilderoy Lockhart.
“Hey there, new girl. I was just wondering what a fine lady such as yourself is doing in our small town?”, he said with a smirk and with some compulsion towards the end to know what her goal was. Hailey looked at the stranger in disdain. She’s never been comfortable with random guys just walking up to her and then hitting on her. It’s gotten even worse after mating with Stefan to the point that it just made her angry. Her response shocked Damon.
“I moved here to get away from unwanted attention which I can see is still going to be a problem. Now please go away as I am trying to enjoy the day with my sons.”, she was not ashamed of having children and she’ll be damned before hiding the fact. She noticed that he was still just staring at her so, she gathered her baby bag and stood up to leave. But before she could walk away the pompous stranger grabbed her arm with an annoyed look on his face. She was beginning to regret wanting as little people as possible around her. He was about to speak when a blur came and pushed him away from her. In place of the blur in front of her was the back of a very rememberable man, the same man that captured her heart and took away her title of a maiden. In front of her stood Stefan Salvatore, her mate, father of her sons, and unknowingly her husband. And his face was full of rage with a possessive gleam in his eye as he stood between her and that pompous man. She looked ahead and finally noticed that Stefan had pushed that guy so hard that he had caused a dirt trail and crater. Damon had got up slowly and relocated his shoulder and collarbone. He looked towards the new girl and wasn’t shocked to see his little brother in front of her.
He was surprised to see the amount of anger on his brother’s face. But before he could taunt him, Stefan had picked Hailey up and sped away. Damon would have chased after them if not for the glare that promised agonizing pain and a slow death that his brother threw at him. He stood frozen for a while before he fished his phone out of his pocket to call the gang, it seems there were more players in the game. They had to prepare and gather information on the new girl, whoever she is she’s important to Stefan and they could use that. Stefan has proven that he doesn’t care what happens to Elena or anybody other than the Originals and they can’t do anything to harm them. A human girl though, that opens possibilities and with how Stefan reacted to him just touching her it speaks volumes of what his little brother would do for her. Though it does bring up the question: when did his little brother turn his humanity back on to care enough for her?
Stefan ran as fast as he could, mindful of Hailey carrying precious cargo. He ran until he was in front of Klaus’s mansion, only then he felt secure enough to gently set her down on her feet. She was staring at him in shock, it took him a moment before he realized he never told her about him being a vampire. While he was contemplating of what to say he couldn’t help but notice the differences in her body because of her pregnancy. Her bust and waist were slightly bigger both changes were her body preparing for motherhood. She looked a lot happier compared to when they first met, she was wearing battered clothes he assumed were caused by the car crash she was in but now she was wearing a white summer dress that reached just above her knees with a blue floral pattern and a unique family crest necklace. Everything else seemed to have stayed the same and her scent if anything was even more intoxicating. He was starting to drool before he shacked the thoughts from his head, it wasn’t the proper time to drool over his goddess. His goddess…he had reacted without thinking but what could he do, Damon had put his unworthy hands on his mate and Stefan’s vampire had lost it for a split second. The only reason Damon wasn’t in shreds was because he didn’t want to frighten Hailey. With his thoughts gathered he looked up to Hailey’s face and she had an expectant expression, it made him love her a little more because she was giving him a chance even after everything.
While Stefan was thinking she was doing an analysis of her own. He had gotten a bit more defined, she could feel him under his clothes while he was carrying her. He wasn’t wearing a jacket like last time but that was probably due to the summer heat and he had replaced his ring with a smaller version. But other than that he was still a walking Adonis who she wouldn’t mind giving a few more kids to. She shook the thoughts from her head, she just gave birth to two beautiful boys and she doesn’t even know if she could have more. She wanted to tell Stefan everything; her origins to how the babies were his. But she would wait as it looks like he needs to tell her everything as well. She looked at him and hope her face showed that she was willing to listen in return she was rewarded with that knee weakening smile of his.
“Heeeeyy…so I guess I have some explaining to do.”,he said with an awkward grin.
“Ya think!”, she said incredulous and with an arched brow. He was happy to hear her voice again and almost dazed out before snapping himself back.
“Okay so…that guy that was bothering you was my brother Damon and the reason I could go so fast is because-“, he was cut off by Hailey.
“Because your a vampire, yes Stefan I know continue.”, he was shocked.
“Wait how do you know?!”, looks like he wasn’t the only one with secrets.
“I’ll answer when you tell me everything. You tell me your REAL story and I’ll share mine.”, he was still a little anxious to tell her, what if she never wanted to see him again, would she just leave with her babies? She saw Stefan’s face and noticed him flicking his fingers, a nervous tick. She was quick to reaffirm him.
“Stefan look I know we didn’t get a lot of time to know each other better but I know we connected. I want you to know that I won’t just leave…not after I just found you again.”, she said leaving herself open and vulnerable. Stefan stared at her for a moment then down to the boys. He gained an expression that she couldn’t decipher but he nodded nonetheless.
“Okay. So I’m 163 years old but I’ve stayed seventeen. I was turned in 1864 when my father had shot both me and my brother in order to stop us from becoming vampires. He had actually triggered the transition, my brother had willingly drunk human blood afterwards to complete it. The woman who we thought we loved is a vampire and gave us blood. But I didn’t want to be a vampire so I went to my father to visit him one last time before I died and he ended up trying to stake me. However he ended up staking himself and triggered my blood lust. My brother then promised me an eternity of misery because I had not only killed our father but the woman he turned for ended up picking me despite me never wanting her. Everything I ever felt for her, she forced as she was compelling me. She still a nuisance to this day and I’m reminded of her every time I see my ex, they’re doppelgängers.”, to say Hailey was infuriated would be an understatement! How dare that arrogant git cause his little brother so much misery and how dare he take his anger of his woman being unfaithful in his brother?! Next time she sees him he’ll be wishing that he had stayed human to have not met her! Seeing Hailey getting angry made him nervous but he went on with his tale.
“Which plays another huge component to now. You see with vampires it had started because of a witch a thousand years ago was in mourning of losing her youngest son to werewolves. She wanted a way for her family to defend themselves from them one thing led to another and vampires came to existence.”, he was going to continue when suddenly one of the babies had started to fuss. Hailey looked at him apologetically before moving to take the baby out. Hailey knew that cry, seems Cedar was getting hungry in the middle of his daddy’s story time. She stopped once she realized that she would need to put Caelan down, she looked to Stefan and he looked a bit panicked at Cedar crying. Well hopefully he won’t mind holding Caelan while she fed Cedar.
“Stefan could you hold him for a sec. I gotta feed his brother.”, she didn’t give Stefan time to reply as she had Caelan already leaning on his chest.
“Now just put your hand on his bottom and keep you hand on his back to hold him.”, Stefan had done as she told him but he was slightly worried about accidentally hurting the little one. He started to internally panic when the little guy looked up from his chest. Caelan didn’t know the man holding him and assessed him before he decided whether he’ll cry to go back to momma. His scent was soothing and familiar, when he looked up he could recognize that this was his daddy so he laid his head back down to take his nap. Stefan relaxed as the baby was okay with being held by him he looked to Hailey to ask about the babies but then promptly looked away when he noticed her breastfeeding. He doesn’t know if it was okay to look but he doesn’t want to accidentally offend her. She looked up and smirked at Stefan’s flustered face, she didn’t like seeing Stefan in distress and while him telling her everything was necessary it still made her a bit sad, so it made her happy she could distract him for a while.
“Stefan it’s okay to look, he’s just eating.”, she said with a small chuckle.
“R-right, umm I was just wondering what are the little guy’s names and…please just answer this and…I’msorryifthisoffendsyoubutaretheymine?!”, he just needed to know because as he got a closer look at the little guy he noticed the similar features and scents that came from both babies. Hailey looked nervous to answer which made his heart wrench at the thought of him not being the father.
“I don’t know if you can believe me Stefan as you haven’t heard my story yet but…yes these two are yours.”, she didn’t want to see Stefan angry but she was surprised when she felt his hand cupping her cheek. She looked up and saw Stefan had an elated smile on his face with tears threatening to fall. Stefan couldn’t hide how happy he was, he was quick to assure her that he indeed believed her. You couldn’t lie to a vampire especially about something like this. He looked to both babies with glee, he thought he had lost his chance to have a family but Hailey was able to give him one, he couldn’t be happier. He looked at the baby she was feeding and noticed his ring was on her wedding finger, he blushed but looked to her in question which led to her blushing.
“Let me answer your other question first. The one your holding is Caelan James Salvatore-Potter and this one here is Cedar Sirius Salvatore-Potter. I hope you don’t mind me giving them your name but-“, she was cut off with a gentle kiss. Stefan broke it and looked with her with an adoring gaze.
“Thank you, Hailey.”, his earnest reaction caused her to blush. But he took her hand that had his ring on her finger and looked back at her questionably with a flustered smile. She looked back to him with a mischievous smile.
“That one is a little more difficult to explain without telling you everything. Sooo…your just gonna have to wait until yours is done.”, she said and smiled a bit more genuinely when Stefan had pouted at her response. Cedar was done eating so they were able to settle the boys back into the carrier. Stefan decided to move them into the mansion, he took a quick look around and it was empty besides a few hybrids that had orders to let Stefan be. He led them to the living room and Hailey sat down on the loveseat with Stefan automatically sitting next to her. He started where he left off.
“Back then there was a brother in the Originals that was different then his siblings. He was the child born out of the affair between the witch and a werewolf. This wasn’t discovered until one fateful night when the son had taken away his first life. Making him the Original Hybrid, Niklaus Mikaelson. When a person is born with a werewolf gene in order to activate the curse they need to kill somebody and the gene can only be passed from parent to child. The father was mad at the witch and threatened to leave unless she was to find a way to get rid of the wolf in him. To him this had angered him so much as she was essentially locking a part of him away, always feeling it just out of reach but never able to access. The only way to break it was to use to use the blood of a human doppelgänger. Which brings us to modern times. My ex, Elena, is the doppelgänger that Klaus needed to finally break his curse.”, Stefan couldn’t hide the exasperated tone, thinking about the whole ordeal made his head ache. At least it was over with…for the most part at least. Hailey could see how tired Stefan looked when he mentioned this and rubbed his shoulder in sympathy. He gave her a grateful smile.
“In the end Klaus finally got what he always wanted. But then Damon had to go and do something reckless and got bit by a wolf, death was imminent but there was one thing that could save him. Now I have long known that my brother wasn’t…the best but until I met you I hadn’t realized how bad it was. The only cure was the blood of a hybrid and the only one in existence had requested only two things: my allegiance and for me to turn off my humanity. Only without my humanity and with you I was able to see that I shouldn’t just forgive Damon just because he was brother. You didn’t force me to get along with him because he was my family. You made me realize that I had a better brother right next to me who wasn’t even connected to me by blood. Now Klaus had one other dream, he didn’t want to be alone. He had been the only one of his kind and he was tired of it so he sent me out to find a solution.”, he thinks back to the night they met and he couldn’t fight the blush that covers his face or the goofy grin. Hailey saw this and flushed and nudged him to continue.
“That’s how we met, now everything is working in Klaus’s favor as he’s no longer alone. And now I’ve found you again but…there will still be problems because my brother has never been one to accept things as they are if it wasn’t how he wanted it. And he definitely didn’t want Klaus to have his way.”, earlier amusement gone. Stefan did it he explained his entire story to Hailey, he felt so relieved that he could feel tears start to build up in his eyes. He knew how vicious his brother can be and how little he cares that it would break Stefan to see her hurt, all he cared about was how he could use her to get Stefan to obey. Hailey noticed the tears and reacted without thinking to help. She put her hands on his nape and brought their foreheads together, it caused them to close their eyes and think back on everything.
Stefan opened his eyes and gave a silent thank you along with a loving forehead kiss. Feeling a bit more better he dropped a kiss on his sons heads as well…his sons it was still something that he was marveling at. He hopes that Hailey will be able to help explain how they came to be. She took a deep breath and he squeezed her hand in hopes of comfort, he situated them were he’s in the corner of the loveseat with her and the babies were between his legs with her back against his chest. She leaned her head back on his chest and smiled up at him in thanks. She started her story.
“I was born to loving parents that were apart of a secret society filled with everything and anything magical but hidden away from everyone else. Our world while similar to yours, has…just more of everything and we live separately from the normal world. We have our own currency, governments, society, and business. At the time of my birth there was a war happening, a war surrounding the propaganda of whether those who are the first in their family to have magic are inferior or on par with those that come from a long descent of magic users. My mother was the first in her family and my father came from a long line of magic making me a half blood. However my parents died at the hands of a powerful wizard that was the head of the ‘dark’ side when I was a baby. I was supposed to die as well but my mother was able to sacrifice herself to save me, so when he tried to kill me it rebounded and killed him. I went down in history to be the first to live the killing curse and to defeat a dark lord as an infant, the named me the ‘Girl-Who-Lived’. I wouldn’t be aware of any of this as when my parents died they had placed me with my mother’s sister, who loathes anything abnormal including me. For the first eleven years of my life my room was a cupboard under the stairs and went without knowing my true story or heritage. One fateful night I had turned eleven deeming me old enough to go back to the magic society to learn magic. I thought that it was the happiest day of my life but it was replaced a few years later.”, she said while looking down at Cedar and Caelan.
Stefan couldn’t help but smile at her. His mind was reeling about there being an entire world that he didn’t know about and the Originals likely don’t either. But he thought back to her comment about her maternal family and his blood was boiling. He didn’t care if they were family, they caused her so much pain and neglect as far as he’s concerned they’re going to wish he never learned of their existence. Seeing as how Stefan was getting angry she moved on, she read about vampires being very unpredictable when concerning their mates. She’s worried about how he’ll react to her school adventures when she’ll have time to tell him more in depth.
“My school years were in short magical. But as I said I was considered very famous, it didn’t change once I got to school. I was accepted into Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I was put into a sorting and came out as everyone expected. Every year since I was eleven I had to avoid life threatening situations, I had secrets kept from me, I was constantly having to find a way to keep me and my friends alive, and I had to put up with everyone gossiping and having expectations of me. I was able to build my own makeshift family with the few friends I could make. The life threats always had one thing in common, they were to bring the Dark Lord back and it did.”, she gained a very dark look that it made Stefan worry for what could have happened to her. But he let her collect her thought so he could do the same, what kind of school let children fight for their life?! If she was gathering so much attention why didn’t anyone notice when her and her friends lives were in danger constantly, why didn’t anyone try to help?! He broke his train of thought when she began again, but he started hugging her around her waist when he noticed her eyes become misty. Thinking of the war will always bring dark memories.
“He came back when I was fourteen and I had witnessed him taking the life of a friend. The ministry didn’t want to admit it they called me a liar, so we were left on our own to protect ourselves. Even at that a lot of people on our side had left it up to us, just kids really, to fight the war. When I was fifteen I lost my godfather to battle, I was so enraged that I had ended up lethally injuring six of the twelve soldiers of the Dark Lord. My brother, Ron, and my sister, Hermione, where able to calm me down some but not enough to stop me from hunting down the woman responsible. Soon after the real war broke out and we were on the run. We fought from the shadows and did our missions to ensure the fall of the Dark Lord. I had defeated him in a duel that led to his death and soon his entire side had crumbled. A series of events that happened in the war including my brief death, but came back to life and also became what is known as the Mistress of Death. I had found that out the day the war was over, the same day we met. With my kind we experience accidental bouts of magic when our emotions are very overwhelming. When learning about my new title I had accidentally transported myself from Scotland to America. Then you found me.”, she said with a sheepish smile. Stefan just gaped at her, is it normal for them to be able to teleport to a different continent?! He wonders if the boys will inherit that amount of power?
“I had a dream that night. Death itself came to me and had explained that we had completed a very old prophecy. I, the Mistress of Death, and you, a Creature of Death, had accomplished in making the Heir to Death.”, she said with an impish smile. With her story finished she knows he’ll have questions and no doubt he starts spouting off.
“Was everything okay? Where you in pain? How long did the pregnancy last? When did you find out about them being twins? Will me being a vampire be a problem for them? What about-“, he was cut off when she put her hand on his mouth with an smile on her face. She understands that he has questions but she knew to cut him off before she forgets to answer the first few.
“Everything was fine. The only pain I was in was when the boys would kick as they are stronger than a normal baby. The pregnancy was supposed to last about 3 months but with me having twins I delivered two weeks early. I found out when I noticed that I had to push out another baby, my kind’s magic does not react well with technology and I was having trouble controlling mine so I couldn’t go to a doctor. My world would be in a frenzy if they found out their savior had children out of wedlock, halfbreeds at that.”, at her response he calmed down some but his face hardened at hearing about her world not being accepting of his sons.
“Are you telling me your world would have done something to the boys? Just because a vampire is their father?”, he said with his vampire face coming out. It seems he’s already grown overprotective of the boys. She couldn’t help but take note of his face being the same as Caelan when he had shown his for the first time. And while he is right she needs to make sure he understands a very important detail.
“Stefan…with you being their father it does make things more difficult for them. My world sees creatures as inferior and back home we are trying to fix it and ban the laws that they placed on halfbreeds. But with me as a mother they were always going to have a target on their back. I am the sole heir to two very powerful families and my government wants control over who I marry to ensure that my heir would be easy to manipulate. Not to mention there is still some of the Dark Lord’s followers out there and…I can’t even bare the thought that the boys could get hurt over what I had to do. I did the selfish thing and kept our boys with me.”, she started to cry over the thought alone. She was selfish and had only thought about getting what she wanted and didn’t think of what her sons could go through. Her crying had woken up the boys and they were not happy to see their mama crying so they started cooing and making little noises to get her attention and Stefan noticed as well what his sons were trying to accomplish. He repositioned all of them so that Hailey would be sitting on his lap with the boys still strapped to her. Hailey finally noticed her boys trying to get her attention, when she looked down at them they both had smiled up at her. She turned to Stefan to see him staring at the three of them in adoration. He reached up to cup her cheek.
“Never think that you wanting a family is you being selfish. And if it is I’m overjoyed that you chose to be selfish because it gave me a gift that I thought I would never be able to receive let alone deserve to get. We’re going to keep the boys safe, we’re going to do right by them. Because we both came from families that could have been better but we know what they are going to want and need. And I hope that you get that when I say ‘we’ it means that I’m going to be there with you every step of the way.”, he said hugging her close to him in an almost painful hold but to Hailey it was an embrace filled with love and ensured her that he was there. Wanting to break the tension she took his hand into her own, her hand that had his ring on her finger. He noticed and again gave a teasing look with a brow arched. At this point Stefan thinks that she just put in on her finger to keep guys from flirting with her. He won’t lie, the thought of her wearing an actual engagement ring given from him got his blood pumping south but he shook his head, again not the time for his vampire or him to get aroused from having something on her that would prove that she wasn’t on the market. He thought he was right when she started to flush. But her response shocked him still for a while.
“Well, the night we…made the boys was also the night that we apparently got…married?”, he was looking at her gobsmacked hoping that what she was saying was true but still hoping that she could explain it a little more.
“It was registered by the bank of my world. It is run by creatures and they view mating to be similar and as sacred as marriage. So we’re mated and unknowingly in the eyes of my government we are married. Which if they did know they would shit themselves because they wouldn’t be able to declare that the boys can’t inherit my names. They are legally able to inherit everything once they come of age as not only are they sole heirs but they are legitimate ones.”, she said this in a faux nonchalance as she did not know how Stefan would react. She was surprised by the almost hysterical giggle that came from him followed by an actual hysterical laugh.
“Anything else I should be made aware then my lovely wife?!”, he said trying to cope with the amount of happiness surging through him. Damon had made a vow to make him miserable and his life before Hailey has been so. He has never felt so overwhelmed with happiness that he didn’t know how to react to him being a father and having a wife, his seemingly impossible dream coming true.
“Well I named the boys because of the…other titles they would inherit. I’m the Mistress of Death…and Magic’s Chosen. Caelan meaning eternal warrior, he’s the Heir to Death. And Cedar’s name means a magical wood because he’s the Heir to Magic. Also I didn’t come alone, I brought some of my family, including my werewolf uncle.”, she said tentatively. Stefan just sat there until he smashed their lips together in a surprising and passionate kiss that she slowly melted into. When they pulled apart he had a goofy smile on that matched her own.
“Things are never going to be quiet around here with you then, huh? For you and with you I’ll be happy to be there in all the noise.”, he said. He looked to her then down to the boys in a loving gaze. Then he heard an adorable noise come from Hailey, her stomach was growling. He looked up to her and her face was scarlet. “How about we go into town to get something to eat. You and I can consider it our first date.”, he added sheepishly and turned beaming when she nodded with her own beaming grin. The got up and left the mansion and made their way to a little place called the Mystic Grill. Stefan had insisted on holding the baby bag for Hailey as she was already holding the boys. She had the boys to her chest and was securing them with one arm while holding hands with Stefan while he used his other arm to hold the baby bag. They made quite the image for the small town, gossipy townspeople we’re coming up with all sorts of theories. Young women and men had all started mourning at the loss of some of Mystic Fall’s most good looking residents.
The family continued their journey for food ignoring it all. Once they got to the Grill the boys started to pick up a fuss at being hungry, since she had already fed Cedar she was…empty…so she planned to use the bottles for the first time. She and Stefan sat at a table for two and she put the bag on the table and took out the ‘special’ bottles for the boys, already had her milk and the donated blood in. She hoped the boys like the mixture and would take to the bottles well. She unstrapped the boys from her and gave Cedar to Stefan, who was still a bit cautious at holding something so precious and small. She took one bottle and gently placed it in Caelan’s mouth, he was eating like there was no tomorrow and gave appreciative coos. Stefan copied her actions and Cedar exactly like his brother was happy with the mixture. The new parents were in their own world before it burst when a suspicious and gobsmacked Jeremy Gilbert came to take their order. With their order taken Stefan had finally noticed all the attention that they were getting and grew furious when he saw males casting leering and lingering gazes at Hailey. He also noticed Matt and Jeremy staring at them distrustfully, he felt his vampire snarl at them for sending the same looks to Hailey. He carefully scooted his chair next to hers and was internally gleeful when she laid her head on his shoulder.
It proved that they were together and it also helped in soothing his protective instinct. But no sooner as they had finally started to relax the door had burst open. Damon, Elena, and the rest of the gang had decided to come. Damon sneered in their direction. And Elena had looked on in jealousy. Hailey was getting uncomfortable with their stares and turned to Stefan more which just caused the looks to intensify. With Hailey practically tucked into Stefan with both of them with a baby in their arms they made quite the picture when Rebekah and Klaus came in.
Okay so I know I’ve only ever posted about Harry Potter and the Avengers with Spider-Man. But I kinda have something in my mind I think should be addressed. Whenever I look up a Harry Potter and Vampire Diaries crossover fanfic it usually pairs Harry off with Damon, Klaus, Elijah, or even Tyler. But because of this I am now in need to see a fanfic with Harry and Stefan together, I can’t find one that not a one-shot or complete. So I am debating about writing it myself even though I am a sh*tty writer. I’m debating on making Harry a girl or not.
Immortal Dilemmas
The first feeling that came to him once he awoke, other than his hunger, was anger. The first thing he actually had consciousness of hearing in nine hundred years was his brothers voice. He had sped towards his brother once he made an unceremonious fall from his coffin but was stopped when he started registering a very familiar scent. A scent he had thought was taken away by his brother long ago, a scent so oaky and of grounded herbs. Sage, he was about to speak but was cutoff when his brother decided to shove some sort of bag into his mouth. His initial reaction is to bite down as he did he was finally fed part of him was disgusted by how easily sated his vampire was because of blood. But the other part was happy to get rid of the constant burn and ache he had been feeling. He drained the bag of its contents, his throat was still burning, and he was about to speak but once again it seemed as his younger brother was determined to force feed him. It seemed that their sister was also force feeding their other brothers while his Sage looked on.
He was sat down on a strange leather bound couch and looked up expecting to see the usual superior smirk that rested on Klaus’s face. He was mildly surprised to see Klaus look upon them with a look of concern and cautiousness. From his mother’s constant muttering of how his siblings were monsters and becoming worse he expected Klaus to have turned his humanity off permanently. Klaus leaned down to examine his eldest brother which caused Finn to question what Klaus was looking for. “Well, big brother, I’m just trying to estimate how many more bags I’ll have to feed you in order for your skin to regain color.”, out of instinct Finn looked down to his hand and Klaus was correct. Finn barely had any color to his flesh. Nine hundred years without any nourishment, it was definitely going to take a while for Finn to be considered a healthy vampire. He looked back up back to Klaus with a glare to snap at him, to berate him, to insult him, and generally just say anything to get back at his brother for confinement of the last millennia. But he stopped before he could even start as his brother had a look of remorse on his face while examining his form, an emotion Finn had been sure that he would only ever see from his brother when he was human.
What in the world? His mother had stated that his brother had become the ultimate monster. He had heard from her that Niklaus had broken the bindings on him. But instead of being more monstrous if anything this is the most human he had ever seen his brother since their early years of vampirism. He looked over his brother questionably as if Klaus was a puzzle that needed solving. Klaus ignored the looks and focused more on feeding his brother, Finn was so lost in thought that he just drank whatever Klaus was giving him. Klaus knew in Rebekah’s eyes that he would need to talk to Elijah first but Finn was the first of his brothers and they had a very strained relationship.
He had talked to Sage beforehand and asked her, for the sake of his brother, if she could stay at the mansion for however long Finn would need. She of course agreed, but she had questioned Klaus, she never got to really know Klaus other than what Finn would tell her. Why now, why did Klaus decide to awaken his brother, her love, after nine hundred years? Why had he done so in the first place? From that she finally got both sides of the story. How after Klaus had found out that he felt that he wasn’t true brother, just the bastard that his siblings had to put up with for all eternity, he felt he needed control in order to not lose the only family he could have. How, Finn spoke of their family being abominations made him feel as if he was trying to abandon them. He couldn’t bear the thought of his eldest brother, any of his siblings, trying to find a way to end things.
He went about it wrong he knew that but Sage know knew. She knew that while he was trying to undo the curse to unlock what was wrongly taken away, he also did it in order to be strong enough to fend off Mikael. She asked why was he so being so open with her and why wasn’t he discussing this with his sister or pet Salvatore. “Because you are the most important person in the world to my brother. And you deserve to know you in-laws a bit better. My brother had grieved the loss of our humanity but with you it seemed that you were able to lift that burden. If anyone has any say in what should occur with Finn you should have some input as well. My sister didn’t have a strong bond with Finn so I’m afraid the only thing she knew was his love life. And I’m afraid my little brother, Stefan doesn’t exactly have the best relations with his own brother, but who could blame him.”, he ended with a smirk but Sage could see the anxiety rising in the hybrids eyes. With that she agreed that the first conversation he would need to have would have to be with Finn.
She came over to them and shared a tentative smile with Klaus. Finn looked shocked at how they were interacting. She gave Finn a kiss and hand squeeze. She knew if she didn’t coax him, he would never just talk with Klaus. She knew how important family was to Finn, if she could help she will. “Finn, I’m so happy to see you.”, Finn was elated to feel Sage with him. But his mother…why would she lie and say that Klaus had murdered Sage. She saw that he was in thought but they needed this conversation now, he needed to know. “Finn, we need to get you back to full health. But most importantly…you have a conversation with your brother that is long overdue.”, he looked shocked that she would say so. But he knew Sage was right and with her being alive did raise questions. If his mother had been willing to lie about Sage what else could she have lied about?
She left them to have some sense of privacy. He wordlessly gave his brother modern clothing to change into, perks to being a vampire changing doesn’t take long. Klaus had pulled a dining room chair for sit in and gestured for him to sit down. He did and noticed his brother had a smaller version of shears in his hand along with some sort of metal tool in his hand. “What is this for Niklaus?”, he couldn’t help but ask.
“I’m not sure if you’ve noticed Finn but it’s no longer common for men to have hair at this length.”, he had noticed Klaus’s hair being short. Such a strange thing to see. But they were to be talking why was his brother offering to cut his hair? He continued to stay still, might as well get it done with.
“I’m sorry…for everything. I’m not sure how I’ll ever make it up to you but I want you to know that.”, his brother apologizing? Something was amiss, since them turning Klaus had apologized very rarely. At most he would only see he did wrong two times before Finn had been daggered, he has no clue if Klaus even apologizes anymore. He could hear their siblings stopping in their tracks at Niklaus’s words.
“You’ll have to be more precise Niklaus. There are many grievances between us.”, he couldn’t help but say so in a clipped tone. He was again shocked when Niklaus had flinched at his response. That was not…Niklaus had only ever done so when they were human…and only when he was with father. What had happened to his brother? He could hear his siblings and Sage waiting for them at the other end of the grand house.
“I’m sorry that you had to put up with me for a century. I’m sorry that I had you daggered for nine centuries. I’m sorry that I’ve been such a terrible brother to you that you would readily believe that I had murdered the one person you wanted to live for. I’m sorry that you have me, a bastard, for a brother.”, Klaus had did it. He finally said to his eldest brother his biggest concern. He could feel his eyes getting misty but he blinked it away before his brother could see him in such a state. When he found out he was a result of his mother’s affair his reaction to everything was in fear. What if his siblings were to decide that as a bastard he had no right to call them his brothers and sister. He was afraid he would be abandoned and left alone.
“Niklaus! I may be furious at you for having me locked away for centuries but I would never be angry with you for having a different father. We were raised together, we played together, but it would seem that was out of the situation when I had dared disobeyed you!”, he never thought that Nik would have these thoughts. He always seemed so carefree and headstrong. Never for a moment did he believe that Niklaus was not his brother. He had already lost their youngest brother, he didn’t want to lose another over petty thoughts. But it still hadn’t excused that just because he felt differently on their curse that Klaus could just lock him away. He held his brother’s gaze when he looked up to meet them with a look of…disbelief? He was so caught up in their conversation he and Klaus didn’t take in that their siblings had stopped talking to listen in.
“You think I had you daggered for nine hundred years because you disobeyed me?! Finn, you had constantly gone on about us being abominations, about our family being monsters. I saw, I saw that everyday you dreaded still being alive. With Sage you got better. But then she disappeared, it was like we were starting to just get you back and then we started to lose you again. And I couldn’t bear it any longer! We already had lost so much family. Henrik, I still cry every year and reminisce him in the season of his death. Mother, her death will forever be on my head she was supposed to protect us but she never batted an eye when father raised a hand or whip to any of us. Then she sealed away what was essentially apart of my soul, Finn! And Mikael, I understand his need to kill me! I am the bastard of his wife that he was forced to raise! But the man who raised us, the man we called father he hunted us. We lost so much Finn, we couldn’t lose you as well, no matter how much you hate me, please don’t abandon them, please don’t try to abandon our family again.”, Klaus couldn’t hold back his tears any longer, he tried to take in shacky breaths to calm himself. While Finn got lost in thought, had his pain really been that visible and had it really hurt his siblings to such an extent. Niklaus may be a manipulative person but he would never make himself display that he was vulnerable. It was as if in the first time nine hundred years he was seeing his little brother again, without any of his armor. He sped to Klaus and felt him tense when he had gripped his shoulders. He brushed off the hurt he felt and met Klaus’s gaze. All this time he thought he was saving their souls and speaking the truth. He had hurt his family enough, he was done listening to mother.
“Niklaus, look at me. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for never seeing that I wasn’t the only one suffering. I’m the eldest yet I was never able to protect my younger siblings. I’m sorry for making you feel that I was abandoning you. I’m sorry that I left you to suffer on your own. But most of all I’m sorry that I didn’t try harder, to show you that even though we don’t share total parentage that doesn’t make you any less of my brother. I was there for your first smile, first words, first steps, and all your other first. You are my brother and I swear by the family name that I will try harder. I won’t abandon our family again.”, he next had done something that he hadn’t done since Niklaus was a child, he brought him in for a hug. It took a moment but eventually Klaus returned it and used Finn’s shoulder to quiet his relieved sobs. He felt Finn rubbing his back and used it to comfort himself to stop. When he stopped crying he lifted his head to avoid his brother’s eyes. He hadn’t cried in front of anyone in the last five hundred years.
“Can we keep it in the house that you had to comfort me and that I actually can feel sadness?”, he asked with a joking voice. His brother just rolled his eyes fondly. Then the moment was broken when the rest of his siblings decided that their one on one time was up. Elijah had heard everything and looked proud of his brothers, so did Rebekah. When he met Kol’s gaze he could see some anger but he gave him a tentative smile. Klaus didn’t know it but at his reconciliation with Finn had definitely strengthened their family bonds. He met eyes with Rebekah and she gave him a nod, hopefully his brothers won’t find current events too…strange. He gave one back and she took out her phone to send a text.
“Now I believe it be time for my brothers to get caught up with the times.”, Klaus said after clearing his throat and ignoring the heat he felt in his cheeks.
“The doppelgänger, Elena, is she proving to be trouble?”, Elijah as usual got straight to the usual root of the problem.
“Another doppelgänger? I had thought Katerina was the last of her line?”, Kol had remembered how infuriated Klaus had been. It was the first time he felt anger towards Elijah and remorse for Klaus.
“As it turns out brother she had a child out of wedlock before we met her. But the latest one has been a quite prominent thorn in my behind.”, Klaus said with an irritated growl in his voice. Elijah looked at his brother curiously. But Rebekah wanted to share the good news first.
“While you lot were indisposed Klaus and I added a few members to the family.”, she said with a very large smile.
“Few members?”, Finn couldn’t help but repeat. His brothers looked as curious as he did.
“Yes brother, you see as an alpha of my pack I felt that they became more to me than just some subjects. And of course there is Stefan.”, his brothers could understand the pack bit, werewolves were family oriented. But to Finn and Kol they wondered who Stefan was. For Elijah he almost let his calm mask fall at the mention of the younger Salvatore.
“The younger Salvatore? I had thought with his relationship with Elena he would be against you.”, Elijah remembered that he along with Damon would stop at nothing to protect Elena. Honestly, was quite annoying at times.
“Salvatore?”, Finn wondered what was his family’s history with them. It would seem only him and Kol were out of the loop.
“Katerina shared many qualities with Tatia including juggling brothers. I’m afraid that she made them immortal but luckily the younger was never actually attracted to her, Stefan.”, Klaus let anger seep into his tone. Katerina would have hell to pay for daring to take advantage of his little brother.
“Anyone that holds disdain towards that tart already earns a few points in my eyes.”, Kol never gave Katherine the time of day even though she had tried to gain his attention multiple times. He could always see a glimmer in her eyes of greed and if it wasn’t for Klaus he would have killed her when she kept insisting in her advances.
“Yes, the fact he could see past the blinds similar to what Tatia did is indeed a better man.”, Finn may not have shown it but he was protective of his younger brothers. Once he learned that some girl had dared to pin his brothers against each other for her affection he had wanted to drown her in the creek.
“Well, I took him under my wing and we have a new younger brother. Congratulations Kol.”, Klaus said with a smirk. He wasn’t disappointed with Kol’s reaction. Finn was twenty-seven, Elijah was twenty-four, Klaus was twenty, Kol was eighteen, and Rebekah was seventeen. After Henrik, Kol had become the baby boy of the family they were fiercely protective of.
“IM NOT THE BABY ANYMORE!! YES!”, Kol couldn’t help but shout. His siblings chuckled at his antics.
“I must say this is while delightful news is a big surprise.”, Elijah said once Kol settled.
“Let’s all sit down there is more you lot need to know about has transpired.”, he went on to explain his and Stefan’s history. He explained how Stefan was left to fend for himself against an emotional manipulative girl and how Damon was no help. His brothers burned in anger at Damon just ignoring his brother in obvious distress just to benefit himself. He gotten up to recent events like how the pack would help in finally dealing with Mikael when Rebekah got a text back.
“Why is that strange rectangle making a noise, sister?”, Finn is going to need a looong lesson in history. But it won’t take long, they do have forever.
“It notifies me when a message is ready to be read, Finn. No need for messengers anymore with these.” Rebekah calmly explained while showing him and opening her camera to show the other things it could do. He jumped a little but examined it.
“Man kind has truly evolved.”, Finn always thought it strange the new things humans would make but they always seem to follow a pattern. Rebekah took her phone back when it looked like her brother wanted to break it open to see the inside. She turned to Klaus after responding.
“Yes it has, Nik he said that he’ll be over as soon as he can.”, they thought it best to introduce them now before anyone else in Mystic Falls.
“Who? Stefan?”, Elijah hoped he guessed it right. He was inquisitive and wanted to know the full story of why Stefan had decided to switch loyalties.
“Yes, you see brothers other than Stefan sharing a bond with I, he has achieved something thought to be impossible…but first I must explain our recent discoveries.”, in order to explain their story Klaus has to explain the history of Hailey’s kind.
“Discoveries?”, Finn had always been the one to want to make discoveries and to have creations of his own. While Nik had painted, Finn had worked with wood and stones. He had made his siblings toys and had enjoyed it immensely at seeing their young faces light up.
“Yes, as it turns out there is another kind of magic users. A whole secret society and world filled with magic and they use wands!”, Klaus said flamboyantly. His siblings could see that his eyes light up at the sound of a world were they would be considered normal. But Kol’s eye’s sharpened at Klaus’s description, it couldn’t be.
“Wand wielders? But that’s not possible!”, Kol said in an awed tone.
“You don’t seem very shocked at this brother.”, Finn said while taking in his brother’s reaction. Kol was always the one that had a fondness for magic and witches.
“I knew of them but it can’t be! Human had hunted them out and burned them all! They’re extinct!”, as much as it pained Kol to say it was true. Wand wielders had been persecuted long ago and wiccans had been the ones to survive longer. But Klaus just shook his head to negate his brother’s thoughts, it brought some hope for Kol as he never got the chance to encounter a wand wielder.
“Not extinct more of endangered. They had gone into hiding, brother. And we have made a strong bond with them.”, Klaus said with a fond smile on thinking back about the new family in Mystic Falls. He handed Kol the items he had gotten from Hermione and Hailey.
“You have made allies with wand wielders?”, Kol was amazed even before they supposedly went into hiding wand wielders never had really communicated those outside of their community. The fact that Klaus made allies with them is astounding. He looked at the book and stick with awe.
“In a sense. I made a vow to them in our family name. You see a very powerful wand witch is Stefan’s mate, her name is Hailey.”, Klaus said with some pride in his voice.
“Mates? A witch and a vampire?! That’s impossible!”, Elijah said. Mates within the vampire race was rare enough as it is but an interracial mating bond was never heard of.
“Impossibility seems like a daily occurrence with Hailey Potter. As the mate of our youngest she is our sister-in-law. Which reminds me that I need to speak to a lawyer.”, Klaus said quoting his newest younger sister. Klaus had been doing some thinking and it would be best to have some lawful advice.
“For what Nik?”, Rebekah looked at her brother curiously as did the rest of their siblings.
“Just to see if it’d be possible to achieve an idea that’s been bouncing around my head.”, Klaus didn’t want to have the idea out and get everyone’s hopes up before they knew if they could actually achieve it. Kol wanted to get back on topic.
“I understand that her being a vampire’s mate is impossible but what else? You seem to be leaving something out.” Kol said looking over to his brother with inquisitive eyes, he truly did have an interest with magic. Just as he was about to answer the door bell ringed, no doubt Hailey’s doing.
“If you’ll follow me brothers to greet our guest you’ll see the other impossibility achieved.”, they all trailed Klaus in their vampiric speed. Sage had shown up to Finn’s side holding his hand also curious to see the impossible witch. When Klaus opened the door they were greeted to the sight of a beautiful young couple that had infants in tow. The girl had a beauty about her that could only be explained by her witch status. Her black hair made it seem her porcelain like skin and emerald eyes were glowing. The boy had a handsomeness to him and Sage could understand now why Damon had been so envious of his younger brother. His brown hair and tan skin made his eyes really stand out with their color of aqua. But the babies…
“Brothers and Sage meet the Potter-Salvatore’s. Hailey, Stefan, and of course nephews meet the rest of our family.”, Klaus said as he directed the happy family inside. He peeked over Hailey’s shoulder to smile down at the boys and they stared back at him with their adorable eyes wide. Sage, however, knew why the family is considered out of the norm.
“What? You have children but your so young?”, while not uncommon is was still a concern for Sage. What brought about the young witch to have children at such a young age. Finn didn’t understand Sage’s question.
“Is it no longer usual for someone of her age to not be wed and a mother?”, Finn said looking at everyone curiously. It was common for people as young as thirteen to be engaged as back then life expectancy was anyone’s guess.
“It hasn’t been common in the last century, but we are married.”, Stefan could understand Finn’s question. Back when he was human he would have had an engagement if it hadn’t been for the war despite his young age.
“Wait a minute…”, Kol got a closer look at the infants and at the couple. The scents, the similar features, but most importantly the bond.
“HOW?!!?”, Kol asked flabbergasted. His brothers did the same as him as they finally noticed what he had. It wasn’t possible! Klaus took maybe too much pleasure from seeing all their looks of shock. He went on to explain.
“Hailey and Stefan has truly done the remarkable. As a vampire and a witch they were able to produce offspring. Allow me to be the first to introduce Cedar and Caelan Potter-Salvatore. The impossible children made by the impossible mates.”, Klaus did not hide the pride or smugness from seeing his brothers and Sage do a fantastic impression of a gaping fish.
“It’s been my experience that impossibility is just another challenge.”, Hailey had to just add with an impish smile. Stefan shared it with her and put his arm over her shoulders. Bringing her closer and allowing him an easier way to look adoringly at his sons. It seemed that was enough to finally snap the others out of it.
“Children produced by a vampire? It not possible!”, Elijah couldn’t help but loose his usual calm composure. He had been awake the longest and had seen much more than his siblings. But a secret world and children from a vampire was just overwhelming.
“I’m afraid that your wrong on that, in my world it’s not as uncommon but it also helps that I’ve never been one to follow the norm.”, Hailey said with a smirk and looked to Stefan who also smirked at the end of her statement. Kol couldn’t help it any longer.
“If I may?”, Kol asked Hailey and Stefan. He stepped closer to them to peek at the children and held his hands out in question. Stefan let out a low growl at him but was quickly placated by Klaus and Hailey reminding him that this wasn’t a threat, this was family.
“Do you know how to hold him?”, Stefan answered and questioned. He sounded a bit strained but it was progress. A very valid question he thought, he wondered if the originals were ever able to hold a child during their vampiric years.
“Uhm…directions would be appreciated.”, Kol could feel his cheeks glow red in embarrassment. Stefan helped in showing him how to support Caelan. Kol couldn’t help but examine the new kind of hybrid. His brothers had flanked him and were as well looking over the baby.
“Amazing. Was your pregnancy similar to a normal one? Was it more painful?”, Sage asked while looking at the child that was still in Hailey’s arms, Cedar. Hailey answered with a smile. She handed Cedar to Klaus as she knew he had been secretly dying to hold the boys again.
“Thank you. My pregnancy was far from normal. My gestation was only for two and a half months. It was slightly painful as the twins are part vampire and they stronger than normal. And of course the biggest surprise was actually birthing twins.”, the vampires in the room were listening intently. They took turns asking questions which reminded Hailey of school children. But unknown to them a force was brewing, one so desperate and dark it was willing to do anything to rectify what it believed to have been a plague on this earth. A simple dream to a certain Wiccan left her message.
“Free me, dear one. Help me rise!”, the world was about to be greeted by an old spirit. One that would have to use force as her eldest was no longer of any use.
He was heavily panting though no one could really blame him as what he had just achieved took him months and a tremendous amount of willpower, he was no Hailey but he was able to pull through. He had to move quickly before him mother noticed he had disappeared from the manor. He had at most an hour, he had done well in getting her used to him ignoring her for a small amount of time but she would eventually notice. Without looking back he ran as far as he could away from the manor to avoid his mother hearing him. As soon as he felt that he was a good distance away he apparated to Diagon Alley and headed straight to Gringotts to finish what his father had started.
***a few hours later in Mystic Falls***
What was once a quiet and tranquil abandoned mansion deep in the forest was now an area subjugated to the ranting and complaining of one Lucius Malfoy. He was berating the original mother for having thought of such an unstable plan and internally himself for even thinking that with all her years she would have some sort of wisdom. A fat load of dragon dung did her wisdom help in deterring the Potter family! If anything this could be seen as a minor setback to the family and just make them come closer together.
“Arghhh! Worthless vampire! She couldn’t even do any actual damage what was the point of even using her?! A compulsion spell should have been enough to cause at least some bodily harm. I thought you said that the boy was younger than her, shouldn’t he have been weaker?!”, it was quite the unattractive look for Lucius, his face was red with furry clashing terribly with his platinum blonde hair. Esther was of the same state not caring to being talked to as if an underling but needing the abominations momentarily put up with some of the undermining talk. But she needed him to know or at least think that the plan wasn’t entirely pointless.
“He is younger and he should have been weaker than her! No doubt that my abominations have something to do with it. But fret not dear Lucius, now that they’ve dealt with that waste of space their guards are let down.”, her face was set in displeasure at the thought of her mistakes but turned into a sinister smirk, which Lucius hesitantly copied.
“Which will be the perfect time for us to get them. That harlot Potter just had to spread her legs for that undead filth. Now instead of having to just get rid of her mate we need to rid her of those filthy halflings! She’ll be distraught enough that my son can easily swoop in and claim her.”, it was considered absolute sacrilege to even consider harming a child of the magical community, but to find out that his son had lost his chance to impregnate Potter made him absolutely mental. Even more so with the ridiculous creature protection laws but Lucius Malfoy is determined to have Hailey Potter under his boot or at the very least gain her position of power in their community. He’s willing to even do the world a great service by getting rid of the plague of vampirism. He was thinking up a plan and voicing them to Esther when Perseus ran in.
“Malfoy! I have some news from home! It’s terrible, your son is rebelling!”, Parkinson said while In between pants. Lucius had thought ahead in keeping up with the news back home and got the Prophet to deliver them. He rushed back to their dingy base once he had read the news, Draco had been able to break out of his father’s imperious orders and get to Gringotts to declare his father unfit to run family affairs. Lucius had never before whipped around his head so fast and had never turned red so quickly.
“What?!??!”, after reading the article his face once again became red with anger but it was more intense and clashed even more horribly with his platinum hair. He ripped the paper to bits and shouted out. He then proceeded to break anything in the room the muggle way. Esther sat back on a recently transfigured chair and rubbed her forehead tiredly as she watched the damage unfold. Things had gotten a lot more difficult.
*****
Everyone was on edge even though Katherine had been dealt with, it wasn’t enough to ease all their nerves. The Originals were told about how Hailey’s immortality worked. Like Klaus they assumed that it worked similarly to theirs: eternally youthful but still very much killable. When in fact hers was true immortality: She was unable to stay dead. But it still made them worried, Stefan had felt the bond tear painfully and then mere minutes after become somewhat mended. He had gone feral and Klaus worries about his mentality if Hailey died again but came back again. One thing was for certain, the couple didn’t want to be apart and clung onto each other harder than before and everyone was happy Katherine was gone, well almost everyone.
When Damon and Elena came to everyone was gone but Katherine had been left behind. Seeing as how she was still breathing made the Originals question why they were just leaving her free. The wizards then explained the terrifying powers of the dementors, in their mere presence you shall fear the coldness of death and relive your worst memories. Their kiss, however, was much worse. A dementor kiss meant that your very soul was to be sucked out and it leaves the victim as nothing more than a living husk. Bill tried to say to make them understand is that she was like a brain dead patient: living but no chance whatsoever to recover. That gave the barely enough assurance they could leave her…she’ll eventually just die on her own.
Damon was more erratic and frantic than Elena had ever seen before. They had heard the whole explanation of what Potter did to Katherine. While apart of her is horrified of what Potter is capable of another part is silently thankful that Katherine won’t be able to harm her anymore. Damon, however, looked absolutely distraught. He was kneeling near Katherine and holding her close but she was just…there. Damon had thought to bring her blood to maybe get some reaction but nothing he did had gotten her to even flinch. Internally, Elena was sneering at the scene but outwardly she had a look of remorse. How dare Damon lead her on when he still had feelings for Katherine. (Pot calling the kettle black)
She stepped forward to put her hand on his shoulder when he looked like he had given up but she was unpleasantly surprised and terrified when Damon had stood up quickly and hissed at her. “DON’T TOUCH ME, ELENA!”, it’s as if Damon’s golden image that he had been carefully crafting was breaking apart. He had tried so hard to play the bad boy turned good to get Elena. Katherine had long made her decision and showed that he was really nothing to her other than a plaything but Elena…she looked just like her and to Damon that was enough. He was even planning to slowly turn her and change her personality to be more like Katherine. But seeing the real deal practically dead at his feet cause everything to start breaking in his head.
“Damon?!”, she was startled and flinched back, she didn’t notice the flash of remorse in his eyes but was immediately replaced by anger.
“She gone Elena! Everything I have ever done was to have HER and now she’s gone!”, he was started to let angry tears out.
“But, Damon you still have-“, she tried to appeal to him, if anything to calm him down.
“You’ll never be her! You could never replace her! I can’t believe I was stupid enough to believe that YOU could ever be enough!”, his chest heaving he sped out of the house. He needed a drink, a strong one and maybe a few sorority girls. He left Elena alone and for the first time she really realized that she was alone. Everyone had either distanced themselves or turned on her, she was alone. A small creak came from the entrance and her heart leaped maybe Damon had realized that she was not a replacement. But her look of hope turned into confusion… and a hint of fear.
“Who are you?”
*With Hailey Potter*
The Potter mansion had been filled to the brim once everyone one decided that there was safety in numbers to if anything to ease paranoia. It turned out Katherine had fed from a member of the pack, just as Hailey feared, but Katherine luckily just drained him and then snapped his neck. So long without appropriate amount of blood would have made anyone look appetizing to a vampire. The Originals got to see first hand how much their brother’s pack meant to him. Klaus had went into a slight panic but was placated once the young hybrid had recovered.
It had been about a month since the incident. The pack, after learning what Katherine had done and was planning to do to the twins, had become a bit more protective and took their patrols a lot more seriously. Hailey was thankful but she didn’t want to spend time away from her new home. She had just gotten everything to feel like home, moving portraits of her ancestors were hung up, family heirlooms were placed in their respective areas, and most importantly the final extension to the mansion was finished. Since even before becoming the mistress of death she had a connection to Thestrals that she couldn’t explain. It was only until after it made sense why the Thestrals had practically herded themselves around her in CoMC and why they would even go as far as to allow her to touch their wings and ride them.
She had gotten an extension to the mansion property that was completely invisible to the muggles. She had decided to keep a herd of thestrals and they had just arrived and was bonding with her and the others but the the whole fiasco happened. She didn’t want to just leave her herd. The hybrids and the originals let her know that they understood completely. Next thing she knew she was opening the door to let them in to indulge their protective nature.
Stefan was another story. They had been able to move them to their room after Hailey had passed out and the small family had been left to cuddle and just enjoy her presence and breathing until she could wake up. When she woke, Stefan had calmed down and was no longer running on instinct and the boys had taken the chance to start attempting to hold their heads up by themselves. She had unshed tears in her eyes as she drew them close to her, utterly relieved that she was able to save her boys and keep Stefan stable.
But she couldn’t help but chuckle at Stefan’s recent habit of following her around like a lost puppy. When cooking in the kitchen, he was seated at the granite island watching her until he decided he was too far and held her around the waist until she was done. When attending to the thestrals he would trail behind her and be holding her hand while she pet and primed them. The thestrals seemed amused by it. Even when just looking after Cedar and Caelan he can’t seem to help himself, it seemed Stefan needed a constant reminder that she was moving and breathing right in front of her. She didn’t know how to address the problem, she loved the physical presence of her husband but she was worried about his mental health. She knew that perhaps he needed a night to distract himself. Maybe a night out would do him some good, prove to him that they can still be out and about without worrying about her keeling over.
He’s hesitant about going out. At home he has his family and it was his safe place but he won’t lie it would be nice to go out, he’s beginning to go a little stir crazy. He just wants to keep Hailey safe, her whole life she’s had to look after herself and for others. He just wants her to know that he’s there and she’s his to take care of and look after. But one night out with just him and his wife won’t kill anybody…
He agreed and he was happy that he had said yes as his wife had smiled at him so sweetly. She didn’t want to start him off on something big like traveling out of town. She wanted to ease him into a safer mindset not full on catapult him, so she thought maybe something familiar would help. She advised a small night out, then said with a faint blush, “We could treat it like a date? I was never really with anybody before you and I was hoping to go on a real date like I used to see on the television?”, she rarely did it but when she was younger while sneaking out of her cupboard to swipe some food from the kitchen she would sometimes turn the tv on and put the volume all the way down to watch it. It was once the most thrilling did she did before getting into Hogwarts.
His heart melted at how excited she was for something so simple. “What kind of date do you have in mind?”, he smiled at how she perked up at his question.
“I’ve always wanted to go to the cinema! I was never allowed to growing up and there isn’t anything like it in the wizarding world! And maybe we could grab something to eat after, I always heard from my relatives at how ridiculous movie theater food prices were.”, his smile turned into a small frown when he heard this she wasn’t allowed to but her relatives had gone? He rarely ever hears her speaking of her relatives but there was never a kind story or fondness spoken of by Hailey. Before she noticed his frown he snapped his previous face back on. The Ripper in him wanted to personally meet with her relatives, he made a mental note to speak with Klaus about it.
“Sounds like a plan, movie then dinner shall I pick you up and bring you back by curfew to ensure your brothers we weren’t up to mischief?”, he said in a teasing tone to help ease his personal atmosphere. He didn’t expect for her to smack his arm lightly with a smirk on her face.
“What else kind of mischief could we possibly get into? Me lose my purity? I’m sure our boys prove otherwise, us getting hitched in Vegas? We’re already married!”, she said with laughter. It wasn’t long until he joined in as well. They assembled everyone into the drawing room and told them their plans on a night out. They protested at first until Hailey started to glare at everyone. Stefan squeezed her shoulder and stepped up.
“We know you just want to protect us but we’d like some alone time.”at the kicked puppy expressions on everyone’s faces he was quick to add in some comforting words. “How about if a few of you come along like a silent security detail? We still get a semi private time and you guys can look after us? But not all of you we still need babysitters for the boys!”, everyone agreed and started to draw straws at who can go and who could stay. He looked to Hailey who was just shaking her head fondly at the scene. It was set that four hybrids would come with them, with Tyler included. And two hybrids would be the main caregivers for the boys for the night. Main ones since it was impossible to say that any of the hybrids could resist coming up to play with the boys however short a time.
He was starting to get excited as he started getting ready, a date with his wife. He dressed in a pale blue polo shirt with his favorite black leather jacket over and wore a pair of dark denim pants. He was looking for his dark boots when his wife came into the closet as well to find a pair of shoes. He looked at her dress and admired how stunning she was. Hailey decided to wear the new dress Becca had gotten her, a black long sleeve clasi mesh insert square neck flare hem dress. She paired the dress with her now ever present family pendant and her recently found platform chunky high heels. She hasn’t worn heels since Bill’s wedding but it a special occasion might as well. She didn’t notice how her husband was admiring her when she bend down to get her shoes. She stood up and proceeded to her vanity to put her hair up, she decided to have her bangs on display and have the rest of her hair tied in a ponytail.
She smiled at Stefan when she noticed him coming up behind her in the mirror. He leaned down once she was finished and placed a kiss on her pulse point with his arms coming around her waist. She turned slightly to place a kiss on the corner of his mouth. He went in for a deeper kiss but was indignant when she placed her hand on his mouth. “Uh uh! We don’t want to be late now do we love?” He groaned exaggerating his dismay at not being able to have his wife’s lips. She smirked at him teasingly and went to get him his recently acquired pendant. She snapped it on his neck and tapped his nose. “In due time luv.” He smiled and extended his arm gentleman like. She linked her arm with him and they both walked down to meet with everyone. She hoped everyone would like the new movie she had chosen for them to watch. It was exciting from what she heard about it, though what a strange name, Fast and the Furious.
It was certainly exciting and Hailey was practically entranced. Since she was 11 she focused primarily on the wizarding world so seeing the movie was a culture shock. Stefan and her whispered during the film about how impressive the cars were. Stefan had enjoyed it as he got to see cool cars and snuggle with his wife in the dark. He also got to see how much of an adrenaline junkie his wife was at her smiling very hard in the race scenes. The hybrids wanted to give them some space so they split up into different corners of the theater where they had a clear view of the couple without interfering with them. Stefan’s only problem was that people kept staring at them or specifically his wife. He tensed up and it took Hailey giving him a kiss to calm him down. At seeing how uncomfortable Stefan was getting she glared at anyone who was watching them, Stefan relaxed as he felt the stares leave them. He smiled apologetically at Hailey but she just smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek for his troubles.
By the time the movie ended Stefan made eye contact with each of the hybrids and a swift head motion to show that they were about to leave. Hailey had the right idea of him not being ready to go to some faraway fancy restaurant and the Mystic Grill had good fries. He sent a quick text to Klaus and the others that they were fine and on the move. He got a lot of ‘be safe’ text from them in response, it brought a smile to his face. His overprotective family demanded a picture of them. He and Hailey posed in a typical teen fashion and sent it off. Hurrying to his car as his hearing had picked up her tummy rumbling. She was blushing since she knew he heard it.
*At the Mystic Grill*
It was a quiet night for once at the grill, Stefan was a little worried as he never had seen the grill this empty before. Hailey pointed out that it was a school night and Hermione had said it was also close to some sort of mid year test going on. So most of the usual occupants are home. He relaxed a bit at the explanation, he was glad the hybrids had came, it felt good to know that there was backup near. Hailey had chosen a booth to sit at, she was really going for a cliche date but he smiled at how cute she was trying to make it happen. A server came and took their order, Hailey immediately ordered some pie on the side of her burgers and fries and Stefan asked his burger be on the rare side. Stefan recently had taken an interest in what the wizarding world offered for creatures. He was originally mad at how his sons would be treated because of their lineage but he was glad that Hailey had people back home that were determined to make it fairer for them. After hearing that news he couldn’t help be curious about what was happening and he was insanely curious about the magical world in America. Hailey chatted about it excitedly, she hasn’t gotten a chance to really explore the magical world in America so she proposed maybe she could take him on a ‘magical’ date. The corny joke made them both laugh which slowly died down as there was a sudden bang coming from the entrance of the grill. Stefan saw the hybrids stand up quickly and soon he found out why. Damon was at the entrance of the grill and Stefan had never seen him looked so unhinged.
Cedric was not one that could be angered easily. But tonight, he had nearly blew a gasket. When he had asked Cho Chang to be his date it was more of a ploy to try and get over his first ( and only) love... and to maybe get her a little jealous. But the tables were turned as soon as he saw who Viktor Krum had brought as his date. Viktor had brought Harriet Potter ( love of Cedric’s life) as his date with a smug smirk on his face when looking at Cedric. It took everything in Cedric not to demand answers from Krum and even more to not abandon Cho in favor of stealing Harriet. After glaring and hoping a hole would burn into Krum’s head, he turned his head slightly to take in Harriet’s appearance. She was naturally beautiful and did not care for makeup and other girly things. But seeing her dressed up for the Yule Ball absolutely took his breath away. She was dressed in emerald green gown that had made Slytherin girls green with envy and Slytherin boys drool and trip over themselves.
Gorgeous, could not begin to describe how she looked. One would wonder if Harriet had Veela lineage. Seeing her so beautiful but for another man made Cedric feel something twist painfully in his stomach and boil his blood. Through out the night he had made sure that Krum had made no advancements on his lioness. He hardly made an effort to pay attention to Cho. If he had he would of noticed her scowling at Harriet and trying to divert his attention back to her.
Viktor’s POV
It was quite amusing to see the foolish badger looking territorial. I had asked Harriet to the ball after finding her crying in a library secluded table. After coming to this foolish school, I could find that many of it’s residents were just downright frustrating to deal with. However, I had met Harriet and her friends. Her lot and her knew that I was just another person, so we had become quick friends. Harriet is the sister I always wanted so, seeing cry just made me so furious with Diggory. After the fist task a lot of people had begun to see that my darling little sister did not willingly enter her name but Diggory was still hesitant to come and apologize to her. She looked so sad that he had asked another girl to the ball that I just had to do something. Not to mention this was the perfect way to keep all unworthy boys away from my precious sister. After all despite what my sister thinks she is actually very desired through out the school. I was pulled out of my musings when I felt someone staring at me. I turned around to see stormy gray eyes of my fellow champion. I wanted to mess with him a little so I did what would probably rile any guy up. I put my arm around my honorary sister’s waist and whispered in her ear.
“ I would rather be playing some quidditch with you instead of this boring ball, after all you are probably the only one that could match my skill here.”, I saw from the corner of my eye Diggory tensing up and looked like he was going to stomp his way towards us If he hadn’t been held back by that infuriating girl, Cho Chang.
“ Same, I would rather be flying through the air than having my feet on my ground.”, Harriet had whispered back to me with a beaming smile on her face. That smile alone caused my heart to melt at how adorable she is. And from my field of vision it looked like I wasn’t the only one affected. Boys all over the hall were getting slapped upside their head for staring at Harriet. But the best reaction was Diggory‘s he looked absolutely transfixed on Harriet that he didn’t notice Cho huff at him with frustrated tears in her eyes. Ah, it is always a pleasure in giving people a taste of their own medicine.
Cedric’s POV:
It hurt so much to see her smile like that to another man. Despite being Hufflepuff’s poster boy, I am still a man ( that happens to be a little possessive when it comes to my lioness). I know I broke up with Harriet but I wasn’t thinking clearly and was hurt when I heard all the rumors going around school. I should have known better but I wanted this chance to prove that I was good enough to be her first and only boyfriend. But seeing her so friendly with the Viktor Krum made me wonder if I was really worth being her only boyfriend — no, I refuse. I am going to prove that I am worthy of loving her. I just need to prove to her that she is the only one for me and that I would only ever truly love her. But I already messed up by bring Cho, maybe I could just leave early and tell Cho that we should just be friends. Hufflepuff reputation of being kind aside, I just wanted my fierce lioness back and hopefully she still wants her ridiculous badger. I turned to face Cho to get it over with because a second more of seeing Krum whispering and giggling with my lioness is starting to cause me to see red and not the good kind like Harriet’s quidditch uniform. As I turned to look at Cho for the fist time since I saw Harriet enter the hallway on Krum’s arm and I see a weird look in her eye, better get this over with, NOW.
Cho’s POV:
Cedric was finally looking at ME. Not that glorified Potter. I don’t get why all the boys seem to be fawning over her. She was pretty sure but usually Potter doesn’t even care to look presentable during school. Unlike me, in which I make sure that I look nothing less than 110%. So when Cedric took his eyes off his horrendous ex, I couldn’t contain my excitement.
“Hey... um... “, why was he being so awkward? Was he going to apologize for ignoring me or maybe even better ask me to be his new girlfriend, I know I would be much better at it than Potter.
Oh! I can already see our future together the wedding, the house and even our-
“I’m going to turn in Cho, I’m pretty tired. Thanks for being such a good friend —“. I couldn’t process anything my dear Cedric said after that.
He wasn’t going to ask me out?! But why?!?! I am literally the most perfect girl for him! It MUST be because he was still under that chit Potter lover spell. Oh my poor Cedric! Don’t worry darling, I will be there when you finally realize that I am truly the one for you. I looked up to see Cedric had an expected face, he was waiting for my response.
“ Don’t worry Cedric you just go back to your dorm and get some rest. Merlin knows you deserve it.” I said with a forced smile on my face. I watched him with concentrated eyes as he walked back to his dorm. Blasted Potter was still on Krum’s arm acting so innocent, if she’s innocent then Snape actually loves Gryffindor.
Draco’s POV:
Blasted Krum, how dare he just show up to my school and think he can have anybody he wants. Potter should be on my arm showing her how much better than Diggory I was. But instead she’s on the arm of that brute. She looked absolutely gorgeous and had a lot of the male population’s eyes on her through out the ball, it just made me want to scream and hex said male population for daring to look at her. I wanted to ask her to the ball since I knew Diggory had asked Cho but word got around that Potter had a mystery date and rejecting any and all invites. It had made me burn with rage that I had originally plotted to hex whoever her date was when they finally showed their stupid face. Seeing as her date turned out to be Krum threw my plan out the bloody window. Damned Krum, my father will hear about this.
Ever since she was eleven, she knew that she was not to be considered normal in whatever world she chose to reside in. In one she is reigned a hero, the chosen one, the savior that would come and make everything perfect for everyone. But still she is not treated the same. In the other she is a freak, the delinquent child that her ‘poor’ relatives have to put up with. She had to be alone in both worlds other than a select few. She did not even know of her true origins until the faithful day of her eleventh birthday. She had thought she had finally found a world that would treat her as one of their own only to have been put on a pedestal for something that she barely remembered. But she had no where else to go. Anywhere other than her repugnant relatives vicinity was better. So she stayed and learned that the world that had risen her on pedestal would also not hesitate to turn on her in slightest inclination of her not meeting expectations. She learned to endure it in order to keep those she had made into her makeshift family. So she was tortured, tormented, publicly outcasted, and even had lost some of her beloved family in order for the world that could accept her to stay.
In the end she did what her world wanted, she fought and became their golden girl general. She won the war and was able to keep most of her makeshift family. Her personal causalities were kept to only Sirius. A man she longed to have helped bring her up but was overtaken in anger for the loss of a brother and in the end was lost in battle. Remus and Tonks had prevailed in surviving the battle in order to see their little boy flourish in a world they fought for and ensured for him. Fred and George with some minor damage to their persons had barely made it but prevailed and now live to bring more laughter and mischief to the newly fought for world. She was happy but something was amiss with her. After awakening from Voldemort’s failed attempt on her life she felt different. She felt more in tuned with her magic and while battling with him she felt that her wand wasn’t right with her. It could barely stand the amount of magical power coming from her. After conversing with Ron and Hermione about what to do with the Elder Wand she felt that it was at home in her hand and person. She had never felt a wand fit so perfectly it was why she was wary of it and decided it was best to snap it. But as she was walking back to the doors of Hogwarts she felt a sudden weight in her hand. And to her shock it was the Elder Wand in better condition than she had seen it within Voldemort’s hand. She kept her gasp quiet but it still captured the attention of her best friends.
“Hailey? What is it, are you alright?! Your not injured from any wayward spells are you ?!?!”, said her sister in all but blood and law frantically.
“ I’m fine Mione, it’s just…”, Hailey started to trail off as she held up the Elder Wand for her friends to see. The looks on her friends faces would have been hilarious if she wasn’t so focused on the wand that made itself at home in her hand.
“Bloody hell… Hailey you have to make sure that no one knows you have it, or else they’ll go after you again.”, Ron said in a panic. He just fought a war with his best friend he wasn’t sure if he could handle fighting off the rest of the world with her too. She just stood there in shock before placing the wand in her holster and making sure it was concealed under her sleeve and out of sight. She nodded to them and they continued walking to Hogwarts, shoulder to shoulder, their habits while on the run are going to be hard to shake off. As soon as they entered the makeshift recovery area and former great hall they were acknowledged but left alone as people were trying to heal and hopefully find friends and loved ones. Hermione had a look in her eye that screamed to her and Ron that she wanted to do research. They made their way to the library, finding anything they could on the elder wand and even checked the restricted section. Until Ron had bumped into a shelf that had dropped a black leather book. When he picked it up and checked the cover there was a familiar sigma on it. In gold etching was a circle in a triangle both being parted by a vertical line, the deathly hallows sigma. He immediately brought the book to his girlfriend and pseudo sister.
“What about this one?”, he said bringing the book to Hermione’s and Hailey’s attention. Hermione started skimming it until a page that had caught her attention.
“As it is stated in the original tale a brother passed down his gift from death. However there will be a day in which a descendent will be in ownership of all three hallows making them the Master of Death. And they along with a creature of death will be able to bring the next heir of Death. The Master of Death will be in decision of when the heir may take the title. But the hallows will not be able to be taken away from the true master.”, Hermione said reciting the book in shock of what this could mean for Hailey.
“WHAT?!? YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I AM NOW THE MASTER OF DEATH?!?”, Hailey said sounding on the verge of hysteria. A thousand thought were swirling around her head and they were turning for the worst. What if people found out and tried to hurt her family. After everything they’ve been through don’t they deserve to get a peaceful life. Noticing that she was getting paler and breathing becoming erratic, Ron took a hold of her shoulders and looked into her eyes to attempt to calm her down.
“Hails look at me. We are going to figure this out. And we are going to see how this affects you. We always find a way. Okay?”, he said gently as to not startle her. After hearing her brother’s reassurance, her breathing calmed down and she regained some color but she was still filled with worry. After that they kept searching through every book they could find on the deathly hallows but all pointed to that she was now the Master of Death. They learned additionally that she could no longer age and cannot die by normal means. Only when death is willing to take her will she’ll be able to join the afterlife. Learning this had send Hailey down an even bigger spiral, she had been looking through the book and her friends had noticed she had froze entirely and they were about to ask what she had found when she had accidentally apparted in her distress. When she landed it was in an open area with a single road surrounded by a nature. She had no idea where she is but she wanted to clear her mind and not head back yet so she started to wander in the unfamiliar setting. She headed down the road aimlessly and looked to the sky. It looked a lot sunnier than what she was used to seeing in London. She was walking for about half an hour when she started to hear a car speeding down the same road she walking on. The driver seemed to had noticed her, which should be Impossible as they were going way too fast but she wouldn’t realize that as she was in a daze, the car had slowed down and stopped right beside her.
“Hey! You okay? Need a ride to town?”, said the driver of a red 1963 Porsche 356B Karmann Coupe… she and Sirius had bonded over vehicles, consequently along with the Black fortune, titles, and seats he left her with his flying bike. The driver had an American accent. He was definitely a he and an attractive he at that. Brown hair, from what she can see it was cut short in the back and on the sides and it was longer on the front. He had green eyes as well, not like hers but still a nice green with a bit of blue. He was fit and wearing a grey t-shirt with a leather jacket over it with some faded blue jeans and black boots. With her analysis done she looked back up to his face and could see he was still waiting for an answer, she made it up on the spot.
“Hi! Yeah I could use a ride I got into a crash a while back and my… phone broke so I couldn’t call anyone.”, did she really forget what a phone was and called. A car drive could help clear her head a bit more, she wasn’t worried about her personal safety. She was a war veteran witch and a newly appointed Master of Death she could handle herself.
“Hop in. I’m Stefan, Stefan Salvatore.“, Stefan said with an empty smile and cold eyes while offering his hand once she was seated in his car.
She took his hand and replied, “Hailey Potter, pleased to meet you Mr.Salvatore.”
“Please, just Stefan.”, as their hands touched a bond had started forming. Unknown to them the person beside them would be tied to them for the rest of their immortal lives.
Immortal Dilemmas
*Stefan Salvatore *
The last two and half months have been…eventful for Stefan. He made good on telling Rebekah his good news and it was met with mixed emotions. She had an infatuation with Matt Donavan but she was only woken up from being daggered a month prior. She was initially jealous and had lashed out a bit when she heard it. While attacking him her anger had became sorrow. All her life she had wished that she could find her one love and then she had heard about mating. A bond that meant to love the other through thick and thin, never to truly be away from one another. It was what she always wanted after learning about it and she had tried so hard to find it in multiple men over the last millennium. Her last attempt had been Stefan then she was daggered and put to sleep for over eighty years.
To hear that he moved on hurt, then everything else had happened and his humanity was turned off, she knew that side of his very well but he was always by her brother never giving her a chance to rekindle what they had. She went out one night to get her mind off everything and flirt with her newest crush, Matt. When she came back to the mansion she was met with a Stefan with his humanity intact and she noticed something different about him. Once she realized what it was she reacted violently, she threw him across the room. They could hear Klaus laughing in the background and after a an hour of Stefan being treated like a rag doll had the males noticed that she had tears on her face, and a sad smile.
“I suppose I wasn’t it for you, was I Stefan? What I had been trying to have for over a thousand years you were able to achieve. I’m happy for you but…I wish for more than anything to just have someone to share the rest of my immortality with!”, she had gone to the ground crying and Klaus had sped towards her and started comforting her. He had always picked fun of her for her failed romances but he knew that in this wasn’t a good time to do so, his sister is too vulnerable to make a joke. Klaus was right about her being jealous but it was more towards him experiencing and having the bond. Since then they became close but it was more of a brother and sister bond. She teases him over being head over heels for Hailey when he had tried to explain more in depth what the bond felt like. In all honesty, Rebekah was grateful to Stefan for sharing something so intimate with her. With that problem dealt with now all he had to worry about is his brother and the rest of the gang. They have become very suspicious and even more into his business once summer had started. They had seen Stefan looking friendly with the Original brother and sister and they didn’t like it one bit. Elena in particular didn’t like Rebekah being so chummy with Stefan. Damon didn’t like that Elena was still hanging off his brother while he was trying to get her to notice him more.
The gang was convinced that Klaus was still oblivious to Elena being human and they still thought that Stefan would never tell him as some part of him “will always protect Elena”. They were in quite a shock when Stefan had decided to finally get Klaus what he always wanted, doppelgänger blood. Stefan figures if he does this it will finally put it in Elena and Damon’s head that he wasn’t a damsel in distress and that it would help with Hailey in the long run. Stefan came up with the idea of forcing Elena’s hand, they needed a way to force Elena to be in debt to them and accept terms. The only way to do that: put her friends in danger. He had heard about senior prank night and decided that it would be a perfect setting. The gang would be in one place and with a certain teen werewolf, who would happen to die if the plan doesn’t go accordingly. Kidnap Tyler and Elena separately, give him Klaus’s blood, snap his neck, and tell Elena exactly what she would need to do in order for him to survive but she would need to agree to follow the terms that Klaus lays down. From seeing that her blood holds the key to all of Klaus’s dreams he is willing to make a deal, similar to what his older brother had once offered. He would let Elena live a full human life and not harm anyone important to her as long as every week he receives two pints of her blood for the rest of her life.
The plan was put to action and all went accordingly. What was better for them is that Klaus has taught him some mild control for human blood and unlocked a lot of memories. He had taught Stefan how to fight and come out on top when dealing with older vampires. He was a lot stronger now and could handle a vampire that was Katherine’s age easily. The plan went a lot smoother because of it and of course having Rebekah’s help. Klaus had posed as an adult catching them in the act, told everyone else to leave to prevent too many causalities. He knew that the gang would stay behind so he promptly put the humans of the gang to sleep with some sedatives he snagged from the hospital. Rebekah handled the vampires of the group by breaking their necks, which should give them a good hour to get things done. They had already gave Tyler Klaus’s blood and snapped his neck, Stefan had carried him in the school and ignoring Elena’s badgering and disappointed gazes…that still has that infuriating longing in them.
At that point he just wanted to shout out loud to the entire town that only one woman had his heart for the rest of eternity just for Elena to stop, but he needed to keep his ‘no humanity’ face on. He and Rebekah knew Elena would be infuriating to convince but at least she wasn’t stupid…unlike his brother. He could hear Klaus proposing the deal after Tyler had come back a hybrid and had his neck snapped once again just to have him out of commission, from outside the school from the roof. He and Rebekah were there just to keep an eye out for Damon and Alaric. She heard them before he could and gestured for Stefan to get ready, he already told Rebekah about Damon having a habit of very badly influencing Elena to do the dumbest things. It was better to catch them by surprise, quietly, and quickly. They jumped down and quickly snapped Damon’s neck and Stefan made sure that he saw Alaric wearing the Gilbert ring and snapped his neck as well. There wasn’t anymore possible outside interference so they both waited quietly outside and shared a smirk when they heard Elena very grudgingly and hesitantly agreeing to the deal. Klaus opened the doors in a flourish with a triumphant smirk, he turned around to face Elena with a still unconscious Tyler in the room when Stefan and Rebekah flanked him on both sides.
“Pleasure doing business with you, luv! We’re just going to head on out and don’t fret just keep up your end and you won’t have to worry about me delivering a horrible ending to your loved ones! Have a great night Ms.Gilbert!”, the trio walked away. Stefan could feel Elena just staring at him, but he refuses to look back. Looking back in her eyes would just give her hope that he could come back, but he’s never going back to her no matter how much she pines and begs for him to. He’s moved on from emotional manipulating doppelgängers to a beautiful emerald eye war goddess. He could hear Elena sniffles but he’ll leave it to his brother to comfort her, he just hopes that Damon won’t try something that’ll ruin the deal. The deal was that Klaus can’t hurt anyone Elena loves, it never mentions him or Rebekah. If Damon tries to cross Klaus, brother or not Stefan will make sure Damon is dealt with. He’ll do anything to ensure Hailey can have a safe future with him and Damon screwing up the deal messes with that plan, so Stefan will feel no remorse in…removing the threat to his bonded. The thought alone of his brother ruining is enough to boil his blood. After that Klaus took a box of Elena’s blood and sent off to find a pack that one of his witches notified him of. He came back with about 20 hybrids, all having a sire bond to Klaus similar to Tyler.
Originals and annoying drama aside, he was in a constant state of yearning. Klaus had looked into searching for Hailey but came up with nothing after a while. The only record of her lasted until she was eleven and then it was like she went off the grid. When he wasn’t preoccupied all Stefan could think about was her. Was she okay, was she safe, was she mad at him, and what is the deal with her records just stopping? He made so many scenarios in his head that Klaus had to tell him to calm down and grab a drink. Elena and Damon while trying to interrogate him assumed that he was just ignoring them, left in a huff. When he slept he often had dreams of her and his brain was coming up with such a strange story. In his dream he is often with her at the boarding house just snuggled on the couch when he moves his arm around her waist and feels that her stomach was bigger than what he remembered. His dream self is calm and looks to Hailey and she smiles and puts his hand on a particular spot and he feels a little thump against his hand.
Then he wakes up confused and sad, he doesn’t understand why he’s having that dream and he’s sad because he’ll never be able to give that to her. But his dreams don’t stop, he’s either feeling for a kick, listening for a heartbeat, talking to her stomach and laying kisses on it, or he’s just there with his arm around her with his hand resting on her baby bump. Then one day in his dream she no longer has a baby bump and they’re just on the couch, he’s so used to seeing her with one that he wants to ask so badly what had happened. Then he hears something that leaves him with a strange feeling, a baby crying. Hailey stands up, heading towards the direction of the cry and he’s about to follow her when he wakes up. What does it mean, why did he have a dream for so long about her being pregnant than for her to have had the baby? What was his subconscious trying to tell him?
He doesn’t know, the only thing he does know is that he’s worried out of his mind over not knowing where Hailey is and what she could be doing. He asked Klaus if the mating bond makes her miss him just as much as he misses her and Klaus responded that he didn’t know as Hailey was human. Everything about their bond is unheard of and new, Klaus doesn’t know how different the bond could be. It worries Stefan but it doesn’t wane his want to find her, it wasn’t enough for his vampire anymore after his last dream. His vampire demanded their mate back and no amount of being told her being safer away could quiet it. He was getting angrier and more anxious everyday that he goes without seeing her, Klaus send him out as he was afraid Stefan would rip off a few of his hybrid’s heads. He didn’t want to deal with his brother so he’s been in the Mikaelson mansion, he finds it strange that the closer he was getting to town the more his anger was waning. Then he felt a pull, his vampire took over and he was left viewing everything as if it was a dream. The pull lead him to town square and it was then he finally snapped out of his daze.
He looked ahead and he had to wonder if he was dreaming again. Under a tree, sitting on a bench was Hailey Potter. She wasn’t alone as she had two babies in a baby wrap carrier on her chest. Two babies…that scents make Stefan dumbfounded, they had Hailey’s scent to prove them as her offspring! Stefan didn’t know how to feel as a whirlwind of emotions slammed into him. How was this happening, it shouldn’t be possible?! Stefan knows for a fact that he was her first, her scent when the first met was completely pure! He could catch her scent from where he was, what he smelled from her elated him but just made him more confused. She smelled as she did before: floral fragrances with roses being the main scent…but he could also smell himself on her.
The babies she’s holding could be a day old from how fresh they smelled. The babies were her’s, scents don’t lie. But it didn’t make sense! He had been her first, it’s been only two and a half months since he seen her, and he definitely would have noticed if she was pregnant when they were together! A small part of his brain had made itself known when he thought of the possibility of them being his. It couldn’t be possible…could it? Vampires have been having sex with humans for generations and there has never been a case of a vampire procreating! But then again…Klaus did say that there has never been a case of a human-vampire mating bond, what exactly can he consider possible for them? He needed answers and his vampire was tired of waiting to have contact with their mate. He was about to move towards her when he saw something that made his stomach wrench in fury. Why the hell was his brother going towards Hailey?!
You guys are probably going to think I’m a nut job but I sort of created a team based off that the character would get red eyes when transforming or when they are being controlled. With Harry we know that he got red eyes whenever Voldemort would take possession of him. With Barry when he was under the influence of the Rainbow Raider his eyes would turn red. Peter, I had once seen a fan art of him under the influence of venom and he had red eyes and then there is also Instant Kill Mode that I love to see on him. With Scott every time he goes wolf he has his red eyes shown, red eyes in his world signify the status of a alpha wolf. Danny had once been under control by Freakshow and during that he had red eyes instead of his normal blue or green. And Jake normally has his eyes black but for a split moment when he transforms he has flames in his eyes, so I just saw them as red instead. To be perfectly honest I had created this team because they are all characters I had a crush on while growing up.
Task force : Tricksters
Harry Potter - Daniel Radcliffe -Warlock
Barry Allen - Grant Gustin - Vortex
Peter Parker - Tom Holland -Arachnid
Scott McCall - Tyler Posey - Alpha
Danny Fenton - Logan Lerman -Phantom
Jake Long - Ryan Potter - Dragon
I put who I imagine in the team and what I thought would be like their code names. I also came up with nicknames they call each other since they are too paranoid to use their actual names or don’t remember them. I’m still working on the story for it.
Harry- Voodoo
Barry- Roady (short for roadrunner)
Peter- Spinner
Scott- Puppy
Danny- Spooky
Jake- Mushu
Preview:
Hydra had heard rumors that all over ,there are powerful forces that could even outdo what the super soldier serum could do. There were mentions of children having powers that make grown men keel over. A baby in London had made his house blowup when an intruder had entered. His parents were deceased but the baby only had a scar to show that he was harmed. It was said that only a pile of robes and ashes were left of the intruder. A boy barely out of elementary school had seen his parents get murdered and had suddenly entered a coma for a year. Rumors say that his body would vibrate suddenly and stop as soon as it happened. And when he woke up he was perfectly healthy. He had said that the person who killed his parents drugged him as all he saw that was attacking his parents where flashes of lightning. A boy who had just recently started elementary school had recently been displaying abnormal strength and unusual stickiness after visiting his parents (undercover) work place. The child was under Hydra’s radar especially as his parents had been SHIELD agents and recent targets. A boy who had recently started middle school had been displaying odd behaviors after he had told his parents he had been bitten by a big dog. His parents hadn’t believed him as he had no wounds on him, but afterward he had become extremely aggressive when upset and had strange reactions towards his senses. A rumor from another state that a baby boy had been would go missing constantly after his parents had found him in their latest invention. A scout that was sent out had reported seeing the boy’s eyes glow green when having a small tantrum. And finally, a source from China had reported that a family had been slaughtered in what seemed to be a gang war. But Hydra saw differently. The only survivor had been a toddler. The boy had said to the Chinese officials that his parents had taken a vacation to China to visit his mother’s family when the bad men came. His mother had hid him in a secret room in the closet and told him to only come out when he heard nothing. The young boy was sent to an orphanage but would display odd behavior. He would often growl when angry and roar when having a tantrum. The orphanage had reported that the young boy at the age of seven had blew fire out of his mouth.
It’a a work in progress but I just wanted to know if I should continue with this insane idea or just give it up and just have this task force doing their adventures in my head.
The ships I have in mind so far are Harry x Cedric, Oliver x Barry, Scott x Liam, Danny x Sam (Manson), and Jake x Rose. I’m not mentioning Peter because I am stuck on who to ship him with. As you can tell by my name I would normally ship him with Bucky but I can also see Peter happily in a relationship with Steve or MJ. So out of those three I don’t know who to ship him with in this story.
This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.
As the the third tasked arrived Cho had started to notice that Potter and Cedric seemed to have become closer and closer. It made her stomach twist in unbearable knots and fury rage through her. She had to watch in undetected anguish as Potter and Cedric had walked hand in hand to the entrance to the maze and bid each other a good luck kiss. She felt like throwing up at the mere sight. The first spark of red lights had appeared and she had a hope flourish in her that Potter had given up or was horribly hurt beyond repair. But it had turned out to be Delacour. Then, a second flourish of hope appeared with another string of red lights, it was quickly crushed as it was Krum. That had left her dear Cedric against that chit, Potter. Some time had passed by until suddenly Cedric and Potter appeared in front of them. Only something was wrong with Potter. The sight of seeing Cedric holding Potter against his chest while caressing her head had send painful twist through her but she noticed something was off. Potter ….. she wasn’t moving! And she didn’t look to be breathing. A tidal wave of hope and happiness had taken over, Potter was gone! She was no longer in the way. In an instant Cho had come up with an entire plan to comfort Cedric and be his rock for his mourning of that chit until he would finally look to her with love.
Cedric was crying over Harriet’s body. She couldn’t be gone! He still hasn’t introduced her to his parents properly. He still needed to help her escape from her awful relatives. He still needed to properly apologize for taking Cho Chang to the ball instead of her. He still hasn’t told her how absolutely in love he was with her. They had arrived in the graveyard and while on guard he wasn’t really expecting such a disaster to take place. He had heard it too late “Kill the spare!”, he had seen a blast of green light headed towards him as he tried to protect Harri from the unidentifiable voice. But in a moment Harri had shoved him towards the opposite direction and had taken the hit herself. He had to watch as the same voice had shouted order again for him to be restrained and for the rat-like man to haul up his beloved’s body to a tombstone and cut her arm.
He had struggled with all his might until he saw the most horrendous scene unfold. A snake-like man had arisen and it was then that Cedric had realized who it was as He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named appearance was one that everyone in the magical community had learned to fear. A burst of strength surged through him as He-, Voldemort had started to pat and caress Harriet’s face. He had made a dash for her taking her wand and dueling Voldemort. He had faintly heard the Phoenix song play and he saw glowing images of people shoot from the wands connection. Each telling him to win until he saw them. James and Lily Potter, his girlfriend’s parents they had said for him the break the connection and take the portkey but to most importantly to take care of Harriet, much to his confusion.
He did as told and had grabbed the portkey and his young love’s body. And now he sits in front of the crowd sobbing. It wasn’t until someone had tried to take Harri away from him that he had taken notice of his surroundings. He screamed.
“Nooo, you can’t take her away please! I can’t leave her! Don’t touch her!”, he couldn’t abandon her not now. The suddenly a loud gasp had escaped from Harriet, and then came a sputtering of coughs. She was alive! “Oh thank Merlin!”, Cedric proclaimed after getting over the shock then proceeded to check her over seeing if anything could be a fatal wound and to be sure she was real. “Don’t ever scare me like that again!”, he said just to express how much anguish he was in, in the few minutes she had not been amongst the living.
“I’ll try not to, Ced.”, Harri replied a bit hoarsely. Afterwards he had pulled her into a bruising kiss, that she would later blush at but was cut off short by a shrill scream. From the stands arose Cho Chang ,a fifth-year Ravenclaw that Cedric had taken to the ball. Was she freaked out by her supposed corpse coming back to life?
“NO! Why didn’t you stay dead ?!?” She exclaimed before she had tried to run towards the surrounded couple with her wand drawn, only to be stopped by Bill and Charlie Weasley. She was still thrashing. Why hadn’t that chit Potter just stayed dead ?! She had to just go and do the impossible again, to ruin any chance that she could have with Cedric. She had caused tears to pour from his eyes, and she’ll be damned before letting that hussy get away with it and still be alive.
The couple looked in her direction startled. It soon turned to terrified and shock glances as Cho had started to proclaim her undying love for Cedric and swearing that they would be together as soon as she got rid of Potter. As Cho was being restrained she sobered up just enough to look in Cedric’s direction and see something that had utterly destroyed her. Her Cedric was still holding that abomination Potter to his chest and looking in her direction finally but not in love like she had dreamed but in fear, shock, and disgust. As she threw another death threat at Potter for stealing Cedric away, he had just pulled Potter closer to him. That haunting image was the last thing she saw before the elder Weasley brothers had put her out.
(Who I imagine to be Harriet)
Okay so, I had a burst of inspiration. Think of it as a second trailer for Task force: Tricksters.
Trailer: “ What do you think Voodoo, think I can swipe it without having that guy notice.” , Roady said trying to get at least one of his ‘brothers’ to back him up.The boys were on their rooftop looking down at the busy crowd. It wasn’t theirs but it was a abandoned building so they called dibs. When Roady said his ‘name’ he looked over to the guy that his brother was determined to pit pocket. Ever since they left ... the bad place, they refused to go by the names they were given to them by the bad men. So they just named each other instead.
Voodoo’s name came from when they had watched the Princess and the frog movie that a family had left playing after they went to bed. The boys had a clear view to the movie from the window as the family had forgotten to close the curtains. Throughout the movie the boys kept asking their magic using brother if he could the same thing as the Shadow Man since then they jokingly started calling him that until it just became his actual name.
The family had a bad habit of leaving their curtains of their living room open. With a clear view to their tv, the boys would ‘visit’ the house to get more cultured and gain some information about the world they were in. Roady got his name the same way but with a old cartoon instead. At first it was a name his brothers gave him to mock him as it seemed that a roadrunner was faster than him as he could not yet reach a speed that could reconstruct an entire street. But it did encourage him to train harder to get faster, so he didn’t mind it after proving to his brothers that he could outrun a bird.
Spinner had gotten his name in a different manner but a much simpler way. With his webs being the only constant fabric that the boys had access to he used it as much as he could to help his brothers. So, he would be constantly found by one of his brothers spinning a new web so that the boys wouldn’t have to worry about sleeping on hard concrete at night or trying to make blankets to keep his brothers warm in the winter. After the boys had snuck into a library once to gather some information into what time and place they were in, they had decided to look around and see what else caught their interest. The web user brother had seen a book that had a frightening creature on it that had his former name on it. Out of morbid curiosity he opened it and took it to his brothers. They had learned that every time their brother had been using his webs that the correct term for it would be that he was spinning his webs. So that day he was named Spinner.
Puppy did not hate his name, he rather prefers it than his former name. The name he used to have made him sound like a cold heartless leader and he was anything but. His brothers had always seen him as the brother that preferred peace than to the violence that they would usually have to do. But it did not mean that he would not hesitate to rip out someone’s tongue if they had even dared to harm his brothers. One day when the weather was good, the boys were wondering around the city when they came to a unusual place filled with people and had an unusual amount of nature in it. The boys were hesitant but the strange area seemed to be filled with life and had lured them in. Almost immediately a whole herd that had been on a walk with their hired walker had ran up to the brothers. They seemed mostly interested in their canine-like brother. Distantly they had heard a small child say, “ Mommy, look! All the puppies like that boy! That’s not fair, I want the puppies to like me too!” When the mother looked up to see what her daughter was talking about she just saw a pack of dogs look confused as a man with a bunch of leashes in his hand come running up to the canines. About a few blocks away the boys were in a alley trying to be invisible. After that the brothers had started to show their affection to their brother by calling him ‘Puppy’ as they knew how he hated how his previous name made him sound like a predator.
Spooky had gotten his name in an unusual way. After recently escaping they had made a sort of base/home in a, what they thought, abandoned building. What the brothers didn’t know was that it was actually a building that a resident gang had recently decided it would be a good place for operation. The last thing that the gang had expected was to find a group of teenagers. The boys were still recovering from their last encounter of almost getting taken again so they did not look so good. To the gang the group of teenagers looked tired, hungry, and dirty. The gang had thought that the brothers were just some street kids looking for shelter. The gang had sympathy for the kids as they knew how hard it was to live in the streets. When one member went up to talk to them, one of the kids had suddenly said something that shocked them. “I’m sorry for your loss.” You see the specter brother had the ability to see the dead, so everyone that had died that had been close to the gang, he could see them. He said so himself, at first the gang had thought he was insane but then only said information had been disclosed between gang members and close allies. The gang had started to call him ‘spooky’ as a way to describe him but the brothers just picked it up as an actual name.
Mushu had given himself his name. He was the one that gave the bad men the hardest time when trying to make him forget because he was just so different. He remembered his past a bit more than his brothers. What he remembers is that his mother had loved to show him the movie ‘Mulan’, as a way to teach him to not underestimate girls and get him more interested into his family’s culture. He would constantly ask his mother that if he were to transform into his other form would he look like the cartoon dragon. Though he can’t remember her face, his mother would just smile at him and say “Perhaps... but you will definitely be a lot bigger and not be confused for a snake.” When he first transformed into his other form it was after he and his brothers were able to escape. The first thing that he and his brothers noticed about his form was about how red his scales were, much like the cartoon dragon. Once that happened he had deemed himself to be called Mushu as a way to try and remember his mother.
“ I don’t know, Roady.”, Voodoo said in order to try and steer his brother away from mischief.
“ That guy looks pretty high profiled, not to mention I’m getting a bad feeling about him.”, from the alarmed look coming from his eldest brother, Spinner quickly added, “ Not as ‘them’ but, as someone that just might be hard to go unnoticed by.”
This still made his brother weary but more calm. The man in question that had no clue that he was being conspired to be pit pocketed was none other than ... Oliver Queen, Star City’s very own vigilante.
(Side Note: I have decided to ship Peter with Steve in this fan fiction.)
