Chapter Text

Harry sat at the bottom of the stairs of the castle his breathing heavy and rough as he stared down at the half chewed up steak in his hand.

As strange as this was that wasn’t why the boy who lived was panicking.

The steak was raw and Harry was sucking the blood out of it like apple juice in a box.

He had been feeling off for days. It had started with an ache in his gums and nails then moved onto avoiding those around him when they smelled off to him.

How did one even know what others smelled like?

He had then started craving other things and had a strong instinct to hunt in the forest.

So if anyone asked Harry was not having a good week that was for sure.

His teeth sank deeper into the piece of meat watching the blood vessels burst squirting more blood into his mouth.

Once he drained the meal for all it was worth he stared down at it in full disgust with himself.

“What’s wrong with me?” Throwing the now chewed up slab on meat Harry then quietly grabbed his invisibility cloak and swung it around himself before disappearing from view then he headed back to the dorms hoping he wasn’t seen.

Potter luck was never in his side unfortunately, another student watched the whole thing from the shadows, Harry being to engrossed in his meal didn’t even notice him close by.

The Cullen Clan had seen everything in their many decades of life from wars to peace and the brith of hybrid children.

Many had spread out as time came and went with the two leaders staying behind in Forks with Jasper and Alive while everyone else either went to school or traveled.

Alice was peacefully looking through a fashion magazine, the style was cute and free for young boys this time of year and sometimes she wished she had someone small enough to dress up again to fit these trends. 

Renesmee had fully grown in the last nine years though she looked no older then seventeen. 

The vampire gasped and froze dropping the book to the floor as a vision flooded into her mind.

It was night time, the stars were out and the moon was full. She tried to focus on what she was seeing but each time she tried her head would burn.

A figure ran across her field of sight causing the sensation to increase making the vampire almost jerk in pain. What she could see was wild black hair.

It was a boy.

He looked to be around seventeen years old but her vision was foggy and she could only see the side of his face as he looked out into the distance. Then he ran off and turned into a large stag.

A deer...what was she seeing?

But whatever Alice tried she just couldn’t see the boy clearly. Her head hurt when she tried to focus on him.

She quickly grabbed a pen and paper and started to sketch out the boy with the deer sketches out behind him, those in the house quickly coming to see what was wrong.

”Alice what is it, who did you see?” Carlisle asked slowly picking up the now finished drawing and tilting his head in confusion.

”I don’t know who this is, I tried to focus more on him but the more I tried the harder it was to focus, it got hard to think. This has never happened Carlisle.”

The drawing was passed around as everyone took a turn to looked at it 

It eventually reached Jasper who had just come back from a hunt 

He looked at it for a second not giving it much thought then it quickly processed in his mind, snatching it back from Esme 

He felt the figure, or the picture really, and raised an eyebrow 

“Jasper are you alright” Esme asked as she gently held her sons arm in hers 

Jasper gulped when he ran the tip of his figure over the boys cheek and up his brow

”I know this boy…his name is James Potter”

Chapter Text

Jasper paced around the living room trying to come to some conclusion as to why Alice had a vision of James of all people.

He had met James long ago on a trip to England with Carlisle. They had gone to help with the war efforts in the wizarding world, though he felt like Carlisle mostly did it to pay his debt for what he had done to them as a human while he himself felt he would be more useful with training.

He had met James Potter in a clearing by the training arenas with wild hair and gleaming eyes. He was fresh out of school and already in that war. Jasper pitied him a lot for that.

They would always sneak off after missions and training to that small clearing in the forest together. Things became personal  Soon after they met while he was there. James had said he and his girlfriend where in an open relationship due to the war, she herself was hanging out with another wizard and Jasper himself wasn’t with Alice officially at that point.

They had been married but it was mostly to stay within the coven and call him selfish but something about James stirred the wild side in the vampire, It also helped that due to the magic of wixen he did not want or feel the need to drink their blood so he felt he was safe around James and well they shared a few nights together before finally separating with Jasper going back home and James going back into the war.

They never talked to each other again after that.

Jasper had told Alice about James and she found it quite amusing that someone actually managed to calm him down for that long. Time went on and neither heard from the other and Jasper went on to live his life to where he was now, almost twelve years later with a large family and a niece to spoil.

So why was James popping up in Alice’s visions now after over a decade later.

“Jasper” 

Snapping out of his inner monologue Jasper looked over at everyone else around him. They all stared at him and…was that…Edward.

Bella and Renesmee were here to.

When did they get here?

”you have a lot of thoughts going on in your head Jasper and you need to calm down so we can figure this out” Edward said as he placed a hand in his brothers shoulder slowly pushing him down onto a nearby couch

”Something must be wrong, me and James were never together but we split soon after we met so if Alice is getting visions of him then something happened”

”Jasper calm down it will be okay” Alice stood behind him as she gently messaged his shoulders

”You really cared about him didn’t you, I don’t even know you felt really anything for anyone since Alice especially a man” Edward said

Jasper sighed running his fingers through his hair

”I wasn’t in love with him or anything, he was more of a summer romance but something about him always drew me in, we met in secret in this forest clearing when we could and just talked for as long as time allowed, he wasn’t my singer but he…understood me”

Bella looked over at Carlisle as said man sighed softly. 

“We can go to England and check it out but Jasper it will be hard finding one wizard in the British aisles I would say we all go but some of us have to stay behind”

Everyone looked at each other debating who would make the trip.

”Me, Jasper and you can go the rest of us should stay here we don’t want to scare James when we find him, I’ve heard wixen are powerful and they have spells that can kill us” Carlisle said softly as the others nodded.

Jasper tensed at that almost letting out a growl.

”James would never hurt someone”

”Jasper you have to remember it’s been over ten years, he fought in a war and who knows what happened to him so I’m certain he isn’t the same person you once knew” Edward said softly as he gently rubbed his brothers shoulders.

The vampire mumbled in defeat knowing full well the others were right.

“So when do we leave”

“Tonight, the private jet will take us but you’ll have to track him down as your the only one who knows what he smells like” Carlisle responded.

Jasper chuckled softly remembering when he snuggled into James’ neck taking in his scent and warmth.

Waterfalls, nature and a bit of spice.

All vixen smelled of nature and he assumed it was how their magic smelled but then they all had a second or third scent to them distinguishing one from the other.

Everyone prepared for the trip and the rest of the coven was promised updates for anything that happened. 

Unknown to them what awaited in England was something they never expected and sitting in a dark corner of Hogwarts was that little boy drinking away at a rabbit he had caught himself that evening.

The shadow from before watched him again and raised an eyebrow, warm blood running down his hand, a small cut but enough to attract any vampire but why it didn’t work on Harry was a mystery to him.

“Hello Potter having a nice dinner I see”

Harry snapped his head towards the voice, the now forgotten rabbit abandoned on the floor as it’s killers eyes flashed green with specks of gold.

“Theodore Nott”

Chapter Text

"Theodore Nott" 

Harry quickly got up, the now forgotten rabbit plopping to the ground in a heap beside him. He quickly tried to kick the animal away from him but the snake just raised an eyebrow at him.

"No use in trying to hide it Potter I already saw you chewing on the poor thing for the past hour and yesterday to..your quite the messy eater" Harry scowled at that and narrowed his eyes. 

"You better not tell anyone Nott or I'll..." 

"Oh calm down your majesty I'm not going to tell anyone"

Harry gaped at him not sure if he heard him right, a small barley formed fang poked out of his mouth.

Theo chuckled softly at the sight.

"Why should I trust you, your a Slytherin"

Theo hummed going right up to the scowling lion as he pulled out a cloth from his pocket starting to clean the boys mouth.

"First off, clean yourself off you look awful and second i simply do not care for such gossip i am not Malfoy afterall"

Harry tried to get away from him, swatting at the snake like an annoyed cat.

"Wait why aren't you scared of me I could attack you, I don't even know what I am" Harry asked stepping away from the boy.

"Potter I literally cut my hand and have been bleeding for the past half hour yet you have had no reaction to my blood, you also went and hunted down food in the forest and in the kitchens, then you backed yourself away from everyone else I'm sure you don't crave our blood"

To prove his point Theo raised up his hand and right there on his palm was a small trail of blood, the wound itself healed but blood none the less.

"What am I going to do, I don't even know what's going on with me" Harry ran his hands through his hair as he paced around Theo.

"Well how long has this been going on" 

"About a week, it just started happening one day when I woke up, I could smell everything around me and I didn't want to eat anything"

"This is clearly some creature inheritance usually they happen when your older but sometimes they can come early though I don't remember the Potter's having any creature blood that leads to eating raw meat...or blood for that matter, also what happened to your glasses?"

In Harry’s haste to find a meal he had ran from his bed not even putting on his glasses but he had been able to see just fine without them.

"I ran out of my room to get food but I can see without them just fine, wait you know about my family's history" Harry stopped his pacing looking over at the Pureblood.

”Potter seems you always forget your father was a Pureblood and most of the families are related to each other in some way”

Harry just stared at him for a second trying to process what he had just heard.

”So like me and Malfoy are related”

”Through marriage both of you share a marriage between a Black and. Potter but neither of you come from that line, I don’t even think they had children” Theo shrugged. He had been raised with these lessons so he had no clue he was dumbfounding the lion.

“…so what do I do now”

”Now you go to Gringotts and get a creature inheritance test, it’s the fastest way to see what exactly is going on with you”

Harry blinked as he reached into his robe pocket pulling out an envelope.

“They already sent me this in the post during breakfast”

Theo blinked as he reached over snatching the parchment from the other ignoring Harry’s protests.

“Why are you opening this just now”

”Well I was working on eating this morning when it came and I have trouble eating so I thought I’d save it until later then I forgot about it throughout the day and got hungry at night now here we are” Harry rubbed his arm as he looked away sheepishly.

Theo just gasped at him, he had no response to Harry’s excuse.

”Why were you having trouble eating”

”…what does the letter say” Harry responded clearly wanting to change the subject.

“It’s a summons from your account manager, apparently a new development appeared on your bloodline which I’m assuming is the creature inheritance your currently going through”

”Well guess I’m going then”

”We are going then”

”Wait your coming with me…why”

”Someone needs to take care of you clearly you don't know a dragon from a unicorn” Harry again puffed his cheeks and glared at the snake who just ignored him.

“How are you even going to leave the castle I can because it’s the bank but you..”

”I’ve got some things to talk with them as well so we will go together now off you go before the lions den notices their favorite prince is missing”

Harry was about to snap back at the whole royal nicknames but Theo simply tossed the letter back to him and walked away.

Jasper along with his family walked into the streets of Diagon Alley, they had arrived just that morning and had no clue how to even start looking for James. They had come to the conclusion to start in the Wizarding Bank as at least there they could send him a letter to get in contact with him.

Alice and Carlisle were mesmerized by everything around then but Jasper headed straight to the bank wanting to find James as soon as possible.

Walking into the bank Jasper got in the shortest line there was, he didn’t even blink at the sight of the scowling goblin in-front of him.

“What can I do for you?” It asked glaring over at the man.

“I’m looking for a wizard and need to send an owl, thing is I don’t know where he lives or anything it’s been more then a decade since I’ve last seen him”

“And what is this wizards name?”

”James Fleamont Potter”

The goblin got quiet just staring back at Jasper but in his eyes and his emotions for a split second Jasper felt and saw sadness.

“I’d hate to tell you this but the Late Lord Potter was murdered over ten years ago” The goblins tone was somber and Jasper had no reason to deny his claim.

He could feel his coven mates behind him stiffen their emotions revealing pity and sadness for him.

”How..when?” Was all he could say.

”The Potters were murdered in their home on Halloween night about ten years ago all that was left was their infant son”

Jasper nodded a piece of himself didn’t even processes the second half of the goblins story still in the start of mourning.

Yes he and James never were in love but they had a connection they had a bond.

Jasper had such a respect for the man and in his heart, cold and dead as it was, he knew James made a place for himself in it.

Nodding his head then bowing to the creature Jasper turned away from the goblin completely ignoring Carlisle and Alice behind him.

He kept walking just thinking to himself. 

He had come far to late. 

James was dead.

But why had Alice had a vision of jaspers dead summer romance

Jasper wasn’t even paying attention to his surroundings or Carlisle’s voice of warning when a small body bumped into his own. The child quickly stepped back and looked down.

”I’m sorry” He bowed his head to the vampire as he quickly walked by him.

At that moment as the child walked by the grieving vampire Jasper caught the boys scent.

Waterfalls and nature

But the boys scent was a bit different. Where James had a hint of spice this boy carried the scent of sugar. Or what Jasper remembered sugar smelled like.

The blonde quickly turned his head to were the child was. He was at the counter where Jasper himself had just left from.

He had wild black hair and light tanned skin. Jasper assumed he was around nine or ten judging by his size but the boy with him was taller around eleven. They didn’t smell the same so they couldn’t be siblings.

The goblin looked down at the boy and thanks to jaspers vampire hearing he was able to catch their conversation. 

“State your name wizard”

”I um I’m Harry James Potter I was summoned here to..to take an inheritance test sir” 

“Ah Lord Heir Potter Black we have been awaiting for your presence funnily enough someone else had just left searching for your late father” Said the goblin as the boys looked at each other in confusion.

The boy looked around as if to look for whoever was searching for his father and that’s when Jasper laid eyes in him for the first time.

Oh he was beautiful. His cheeks were flush and chubby clearly still having baby fat with these bright green eyes and the cutest little nose Jasper had only seen on James.

This child looked exactly like James apart from his eyes.

“That’s him” Alice said as she laid eyes on the boy as well “he’s the one from my vision bur hes way smaller then in my vision”

Alice had a vision of Harry.

James’ son.

But why.

Chapter Text

Harry looked up at Theo raising an eyebrow at him completely missing the fact he was being stared at.

”Someone was trying to look for my dad but he died when I was a baby” Harry said looking up at the goblin why shrugged.

“No matter let’s get to what you were called here for please follow me and Mr Nott will meet you outside the chambers once the inheritance test is completed”.

Harry looked over at Theo”what your not coming with me inside”.

”Sorry your highness but this is something you have to do on your own it’s a privacy thing now remember listen carefully to the goblins especially your account manager, do not disrespect them and for the love of magic read everything you are given even three times if you have to until to understand it”.

Harry nodded softly turning away to follow the goblin. Theo watched him leave as his eyes then trailed over to the other side of the bank.

He wasn’t as shy as Harry, he never let his guard down and he knew well that they had been looked at for the past half hour. 

He knew the fact James Potter died was common knowledge so who wouldn’t know about it, even new coming muggleborns were told the story of the Potters so who was looking for him and with Harry’s current state Theo was not taking any chances.

Theo looked right at the three people staring back at him, his wand held firmly in his robe pocket.

He may not know many spells but he was coming to really like Harry so he supposed he would defend his honor.

He straightened his back walking up to the small group who by this point very much noticed he had seen them.

The three tried to get away but the one with curly blonde hair kept looking back at him and that made the Slytherin raise an eyebrow but he would not let them get away that easily.

Harry gulped watching as an older looking goblin sat in front of him at a large desk, the doors behind him had been slammed shut.

”Good afternoon Lord Heir Potter Black inappropriate your arrival so early I would like to discuss some matters that have come to our attention”.

The Goblin pulled out a parchment and small blade, placing them in-front of the young wixen.

”I’m sure your friend Heir Nott has already explained what is to happen today”.

Harry nodded slowly” I’ve been acting weird for the past couple of days I’ve been craving blood and I even ran into a tree at a high speed, Theo thinks it’s some sort of creature inheritance that’s come early”.

The goblin nodded as he crossed his fingers.

“That does happen but usually it’s due to high amounts of stress or danger to a situation or environment though we cannot rule it out, now I need you to drop three drops of blood into this parchment, usually we have simple inheritance tests they show the bloodline of a wixen but I felt that we needed something more detailed to see exactly what is going on though I must warn you wixen the British Aisles do not favor most creatures. 

Harry nodded. Looking at the parchment he knew this decision would change his life forever. He could turn around and pretend nothing was wrong, maybe just hide his creature but on the other hand he wanted to know what he was and who he was.

With a deep breath the boy cut his hand and watched as three drops of blood fell onto the parchment, he also noticed he had to press a bit harder into his skin to get it to break but didn’t say anything about it yet.

He and the goblin both looked into the parchment watching as it revealed Harry’s bloodline.

Sharptooth

Harry stared slack jawed at the test in-front of him not knowing what to say. His whole life had been some lie.

Everything he’s known was a lie.

His father was his mother.

His mother wasn’t even his mother.

And who in Merlin’s name was Jasper.

Chapter Text

Harry looked at the test for what felt like the hundredth time 

“So my father is my mother and my father is some vampire and my mother isn’t actually my mother” Harry stretched his head holding the parchment in his hands.

“Your father was a Gene Carrier do you know what this is “ Asked Sharptooth watching the boy shake his head.

”Back in the time of the witch trials many of our kin were executed or were afraid they would be, most of these people were females so the birth rates were destroyed as there weren’t many pairs or females were to afraid to have a child so wizards were given a potion to allow them to carry a child, as time went on the numbers came back up but the potion evolved into what it is today with certain Pureblood Bloodlines having it and both the Potters and the Blacks have this gene. Now it doesn’t have to be used you will suffer no consequences for not using it but it is something you have to be aware of”

”Do you think my dad knew he was able to get…pregnant”

”There are no records of the late Lord Potter taking a barer test and seeing as how things were back then I’m not surprised he didn’t who knows who would have taken advantage of that”

”What do you mean”

”Whoever sires the child of a gene carrier have the chance to marry that Gene Carrier to claim the child with most of them being from rich pureblood lines most don’t even get themselves checked fearing they would be taken advantage of, one out of four wixen are a Carrier but only about half of them actually use the gene purposefully”

Harrys body was frozen, his mind running with what he had just heard. How could someone think of another person in such a way.

But if the creature laws were bad enough he couldn’t really be surprised by this.

“So my other father can take me away”

”Yes and no, your sire is a vampire you know they are not seen kindly in our world but in America where he is from they do have standing especially when it comes to children though immortal children are illegal they are killed because they cannot hold our secrets, they are governed by their own leaders known as the Volturi do not underestimate them they have many powerful vampires though wixen can defeat them in battle they are not weak”

”Wait so am I going to die” Harry sat up.

“You have had control over your bloodlust apart from hunting animals you have not attacked any person even if they are magic apart from that you are also a wizard and a high profile one at that, if they kill you they run a huge risk at a war they cannot hope to win”

”So what happens now with my vampire side”

”Your vampire blood is diluted and stabilized by your magical core interference. You may, however, notice increased sensory acuity, emotional sensitivity, and... occasional cravings. Nothing unmanageable, though you are rare. If a vampire and wizard have a child they are either one or the other why you are both is unknown but so far you seem to be in control”

Harry nodded looking back at the parchment.

“And what about this? ‘Inheritance of House Potter, House Black, possible claim to Peverell line.’ Does that mean I’m… some kind of noble now?” Harry looked up at the goblin who frowned at him.

“Did you not know surely someone had told you about your bloodlines”

Harry shook his head”no I was raised by muggles my whole life”

”You were raised by muggles” The goblin said it with such disdain Harry felt like he had said something wrong.

The wizard blinked and nodded his head ”my um I guess my step mums relatives, they never liked me they said I was a freak and they are the reason why I’m so…little” Harry ran his fingers on his robe sleeve always being nervous to talk about his home life.

“You were never meant to be placed with them to begin with, after your parents death you should have been tested to find suitable guardians a wixen of your profile is to be raised with magic I will be looking into this matter myself”

Sharptooth was silent for awhile” I was told a man came looking for your father, is this claim correct”

Harry nodded his head”yes he didn’t know he died”

” Do you know where he went or who he was”

Harry shook his head”I didn’t even get a look at him…why”

”If someone is looking for your father at this point it should be questioned especially for your safety”

”How will I find Jasper he lives all the way in America, what do I even tell him anyway”

”One step at a time first you go find him, you can send an owl or go to MACUSA and see if they can track him down”

”MACUSA?”

”The Magical Congress of the United States of America, essentially the Ministry of that country”

Harry nodded “so he can take me if he…if he wants me”

”The British Ministry will fight it not only because of his vampire status but because your you but the American ministry has the upper hand”

After what felt like hours Harry was finally allowed to leave though was told to come back once he made contact with his father to see about custody.

He looked around the lobby trying to find his surprising Slytherin companion. How he ended up with him this long was beyond him.

His eyes fell on the other wizard, his lips coming up into a smile then he frowned when he noticed the three other people with him. Theo had them all but pinned in place as he spoke to one of the men.

The one Theo was currently scowling at had curly hair and Harry tilted his head curiously as he walked over his test nestled in his robe.

”Theo what’s going on”

The Slytherin turned his head and smirked at him”hello your highness how was your meeting”

Harry shook his head at the nickname then sighed softly 

“It was interesting I’ll tell you about it later so what’s going on here”

“Oh these were the people who were looking for your dad”

Harry blinked and looked at the three”I assume you have been told about my father already, and please don’t mind Theo he’s always mean”

Carlisle stepped up and cleared his throat.

”Yes we have been looking for the late James Potter see we come from America so we  weren’t made aware of his passing I am truly sorry for your loss”

Harry nodded his head and sighed softly”truth is I never knew my dad he died when I was barley over a year old but why were you looking for him in the first place”

”That is for my son, see we came here around the time of the first war to help with training and medical assistance I being a doctor and my son who has had combat experience he then met your father while we were here and some new information has come up causing us to come back here”

Harry nodded and looked over at Theo who nodded his head already having gotten that information from them.

”His sons name is Jasper and…” Theo started then was immediately cut off by Harry.

“Jasper…as in Jasper Cullen”

Jasper blinked at Harry and stepped up”that’s me, you look so much like James your hair is more curly and have different eyes but almost identical” 

Harry smiled softly at that. He had been told all about his mother but little about his father. He shook his head remembering his train of thought.

“Did you have sex with my dad”

Everyone was silent not expecting the child to say anything so openly like that. Jasper coughed into his hand and looked away, if he could blush he surly would have.

”I um had an…intimate relationship with him yes”

“Oh well guess I don’t have to look any further to find you”

Jasper stared down at the child who barley reached his waist.

”Why would you need to look for me”

”Your my dad, well my other dad”

Jasper gaped at him completely speechless as the other two vampires snapped their heads between the now father and son.

”Your dad…how is that possible” Asked Alice.

“James was a Gene Carrier wasn't he” Carlisle asked.

“What’s a Gene Carrier” Alice asked looked over at her coven head.

Theo was the one to answer though.

“A Gene Carrier is a male wizard who is able to become pregnant, it’s a direct result with potions due to the witch trials”

Harry nodded handing Theo his inheritance test raising an eyebrow when he noticed Carlisle twitch a bit.

Jasper was in complete shock he didn’t notice when the parchment was placed in his hands until Alice gave him a kick.

He snapped out of his head and looked down at the paper then over at Harry then at the paper again.

Alice was the one to break the silence.

“Congratulations Jasper, it’s a boy”

Harry just smiled up at Jasper his green eyes sparkling with golden specks and his small vampire tooth poking out of his mouth.

Chapter Text

Everyone had moved to an open office provided by the goblins. Harry and Theo sat in chairs while the other three stood a bit away talking amongst each other while every once in a while they looked over at Harry.

Harry hasn’t spoken much. His tiny fists are clenched tightly in his lap with Theo sitting by his side.

Finally the three came over, the test in Carlisle’s hands. Jasper doesn’t move forward. His face is unreadable, his hands shaking slightly despite the vampire control. His voice was low and uncertain.

”How can…how can you be mine. Your so little I was with James before you were born could it be the vampire in you.”

Alice looked at the parchment again”Here it says he’s eleven so he fits the right age range maybe he ages slower.”

Harry somewhat cowered at that. He knew his time with the Dursleys would come to bite him one day but he wasn’t prepared for it to happen like this and unfortunately for him Jasper sensed his nervous and scared emotions raising an eyebrow at him.

“Is there something you want to tell us?”

”Why didn’t anyone come for me sooner?. Why did they let me stay with them?”

”Left you with who Harry” Asked Alice her voice soft and sweet.

Harry liked the sound of her voice.

“I was there when they died and I was a baby, and they left me with the Dursleys. I didn’t even know magic was real until the letters came and they tried to burn them.”

Theo’s face scrunched up “ They tried to burn your Hogwarts letters?”

Harry nodded”Among other things and they did everything to get rid of them, ripped them they even took me to this lighthouse in the middle of nowhere to try to hide me away from going.”

Alice looked at Carlisle watching as he slowly analyzed Harry.

She knew that look on his face as it came when he was studying a situation that should not have happened.

“They didn’t want me to go to Hogwarts. Said I was a freak. Uncle Vernon locked me in the cupboard when I asked questions or really whenever they didn’t want to see me which was pretty much all the time.” Harry’s fists started to shake as no one said anything letting him vent.

He was taught to accept it like it’s normal. But it isn't and now the boy suffered from it.

Carlisle slowly crouched down to Harry’s level keeping in direct eye sight of the child knowing he had to be very careful not to set him off.

”Harry when you say cupboard, do you mean…?”

“Under the stairs. That’s where I slept and stayed most of the time. Until the letters came. They would leave me there for hours maybe sometimes days, they said I was always bad so I didn’t deserve to eat, I didn’t deserve them that I should be great full they didn’t throw me into the streets” Harry’s voice was a whisper but everyone heard him clearly when his mouth opened again.

”They hit me, they burned me they left me outside in storms. Doudley bullied me and got his friends to follow him and they chased me and beat me up the teachers never cared no one ever cared” Harry looked up at them his eyes tear filled.

”Why did they do that?”

There’s a long silence. Jasper’s hands clench at his sides. Alice’s eyes glistened but no tears came down her face, her smile gone. Carlisle’s face darkens, controlled but furious.

“If I did something wrong like… existing they’d punish me. I never had anything that was mine not even a toy all I got were Doudleys broken hand me downs.” The chairs and tables slammed into the walls as Harry buried his face in Theo’s chest finally letting himself cry.

The words catch in his throat as he just kept going pretty much telling them his whole life’s story at this point. He hadn’t meant to say so much. His eyes sting and he tries to blink fast enough to keep from crying. He’s already ashamed of being small, being strange, being a burden. Crying in front of strangers even ones who were meant to be his family.

Theo held Harry close to him. He always knew muggles were awful but to hear they treated a child like this…

Jasper walked up as he gently reached for Harry, pulling him close to his chest as he cradled him. The vampire wasn’t much for comfort but seeing James’ son…his son in such a state made him feel emotions he has not felt in decades.

Harry flinches slightly, but doesn’t pull away. Jasper just stays close, still and grounded. It took a lot in him to not change Harry’s emotions knowing full well sometimes letting everything go naturally was the best thing someone can have.

Harry deserved control over himself.

“Sshh it’s okay I promise everything will be okay now, I promise no one you’ll never have to be alone again you never will go back to them.” Jasper knew what his words sounded like. He was choosing his child, he would choose his child even if the rest of the coven did not.

He would leave for Harry’s sake, he wanted him to feel loved and safe and if that meant it was only Jasper who loved him then they would make their own coven somewhere else. Alice slid into the seat beside him and offered a clean handkerchief without a word. Jasper hesitated, then took it and gently cleaned Harry’s face.

Carlisle slowly knelt down onto the floor gently moving a piece of Harry’s very wild hair out of his face.

“Harry. What they did. What they allowed. No one deserves that least of all a child whose only crime was being born. You should have been held and loved you are not to blame for what they did to you, some people are just bad people and unfortunately it’s the innocent who pay that price.”

A long moment passes. Harry wipes his eyes. He doesn’t smile, but the tight line of fear in his shoulders eases just slightly. Someone believed him. Someone cared.

“No one has ever held me before, not since…” Theo held Harry’s hand as the boy smiled softly at him squeezing his hand back just a bit.

“We’re not trying to replace James. Or force anything. But if you’ll let us… we’d like to be here for you. You can come home with us, you can be a part of our family with a grandma and aunts and uncles even a cousin” Carlisle said softly.

Harry blinked up at him innocently and at that moment everyone in the room truly saw how beautiful Harry looked. He was like a little James with big greens eyes, small specks of gold in the iris, chubby cheeked with the messiest hair they had ever seen with dark curls anyone would fawn over.

Harry was a beautiful gift.

“I don’t know how a family works, I never had one to remember.” 

He then looked up at Jasper.

“I don’t know how to be a son.” 

Jasper smiled softly seeing every bit of James in Harry but seeing Harry as who he wants to be.

He's his son, He’s our son.

”I don’t know how to be a father but we can learn together I promise no one can and will hurt you while I am around.”

Harry smiled brightly at them and for the first time in his short life he felt he could truly be wanted by someone.

Chapter Text

Everyone had been quiet for some time. Harry had been called back to the goblins to finish some paperwork and revive his Lordship rings, Theo had refused to leave his side stating he “knew” Harry was to cloud headed and emotional at the moment to process anything but everyone could tell he was worried for the little wizard.

Carlisle sat on one of the chairs running his fingers through his hair while Jasper and Alice stood beside him.

“Malnourished, stunted growth, magical core stress fractures from prolonged emotional suppression. Repeated exposure to deprivation, fear, humiliation, I wouldn’t doubt if he had..incorrectly healed bones.”

Jasper twitched at that statement, his fangs and claws slowly coming out as he let out a deep growl. He was trying to regulate the rising emotional current he could feel around him. Rage, sadness, helplessness all of it pulsing off his family and echoing from Harry’s lingering fear.

“He never knew safety, never knew love apart from his early infant hood, I can’t even see his future all I get are short glimpses of him walking or talking but even then it hurts.” Alice said softly, playing with the hem of her shirt.

”It could be his magic blocking you, wix are already very secretive so who knows if his shields will or can be brought down.” Carlisle said looking towards the door where Harry had walked out of. 

“They starved him and beat him, Carlisle. He barely weighs six stone. Who knows what else they did to him, he’s eleven but he looks nine.”

”He will need a lot of help, not only will he need a regular therapist but maybe even someone who specializes in magical trauma, he was taught to suppress his magic weather he realized it or not so we have to make sure it hasn’t left permanent effects.” Carlisle pulled out a small notebook from his pocket and started to write.

Jasper watched him as Alice went on about how she would support him. It was strange, Jasper himself had always brought a sort of uncertainty to the family especially when it came to Bella so he wasn’t expecting them to accept his newsurrpise pson so quickly. 

“We will have to tell everyone else, hopefully Rose doesn’t scare him and you know Esme is going to keep him at her hip all the time.” Alice said as her eyes then brightened “oh we can go shopping and get him all the clothes I saw in that magazine oh he’s going to look so cute even though he already is did you see those eyes.”

Jasper smiled softly remembering exactly where he last saw those eyes and was more then happy and proud to know his son inherited them.

“My mother had green eyes just like his I remember when I left for the army, that was the last time I saw them and when I was turned I remember seeing them again. ” Jasper smiled softly as he thought about the similarities Harry’s appearance had to his family.

 “So should we bring them here or wait until we get all of Harry’s paperwork to take him back to America with us.”

They still had planning to do it seemed but Jasper would always do what was right by Harry. 

He wondered if this is how Edward felt.

Jasper thought about his past and how everything he had done somehow led to this moment. 

Theo, always calm, always too clever by half, sat beside Harry who looked at the inheritance test again before finally setting it down, the goblin who had asked for them had left to give them privacy after Harry had done everything he needed to do.

Rings on his fingers and paperwork in the process of approval.

“So vampire dad, magical inheritance, vault the size of a castle along with being a Lord Heir and possibly the rarest type of creature out there. That’s…a lot to take in at once isn’t it” Theo started and Harry nodded slowly.

“Yeah. Definitely not a normal Tuesday.”

Theo waits, giving Harry space to say more if he wants. After a long pause, Harry spoke again with his voice low.

“I always thought I was just… unwanted. Like, maybe I did something wrong. My aunt used to say I was a burden. A freak. I guess after a while, you start to believe it then I turn eleven and this whole new world opens up and I find out my parents weren’t actually party crazy drunks who died in a car crash with me in it but instead two heros who died protecting me. Then I find out that’s also a lie and my dad is my mum, my mum isn’t my mum and my actual dad is a vampire. ”

“I’m scared I won’t know how to be normal. Everyone keeps talking about healing and helping, but… what if I don’t know how to be okay?” Harry said softly looking down at his rings watching them gleam under the candles lights close by.

Theo’s gaze sharpens serious now replacing the concern from before.

“Harry look at me.” Theo said sternly and said boy slowly turned to him.

“You survived and you stayed kind. You didn’t go dark, or bitter, or cruel even when no one protected you and now you have a chance at a real family, a real life. You can have love and happiness all of the things you always deserved and I’m sure that’s all James ever wanted for you.”  

“What if I mess it up?”

“Then I’ll send a stun curse at you and we will try again.”

Harry blinked and tilted his head

”We?”

”What you didn’t think I’ll let you do this on your own right, besides someone needs to be the brains of this operation you couldn’t tell the difference between a unicorn and a dragon.”

Harry scowls at him for that statement then got quiet for a second.

”Hey Theo?”

”Hm?”

”Why are you helping me?”

“Because I saw your face when they said you lived in a cupboard, I saw the way you broke in your father's arms and for a moment I saw myself.”

Harry stiffens slightly, instinctively defensive, but Theo doesn’t say it with pity nor judgment.

Just truth.

“When you flinched when someone raised their voice. And when you looked at your vault like it was a trick. And when you apologized for existing every time someone looked too long and I know that look. The one people wear when no one ever made space for them, my father made me wear it especially after my mother died.”

Harry was silent, he looks over. Really looks at Theo for the first time.

”Your father?”

Theo looked up at the ceiling, he somewhat wondered why he was pouring everything out to the smaller boy but a bigger part of him couldn’t stop himself.

He didn’t want to stop.

He wanted Harry to know him…all of him.

”My father was obviously a follower of The Dark Lord and even when I was born I could never live up to him, he was heavy on tradition and control and when I acted like a child I was punished for it..to him I was always a disappointment and would always fight with my mother because she couldn’t give him a better son…she got sick and passed a few years back and since then it’s been worse.”

Harry doesn't know what to say. But he did know to slowly reach over and take Theo's hand in his own smaller one.

Two different hand sizes but they fell in perfectly together.

“You looked like you needed someone who wouldn’t talk to you like you were broken. Just… someone who’d sit still. I can do that.”

Harry smiled softly looking up at him as his eyes sparkled.

Theo looked at him for a second to long.

Geuss the stories about vampire children were right. Harry was beautiful and very much cute it didn’t help that he had the softest personality there ever was.

Harry was the one to look away as he looked down at the floor.

“...No one’s ever done that before.”

“Well. You have me now. And the vampires. And an owl with an attitude problem.”

Harry laughed at that and smiled.

”Hedwig sure has a personality.”

Harry leans back slightly, just enough to breathe easier.

”I have to tell my friends but what will they say.”

Theo hummed softly, crossing his legs.

”They will either support you or reject you and if they reject you at least you have me.”

Harry raised an eyebrow at him.

“I thought you were supposed to make me feel better.”

”I am I’m giving you a positive outlook on a theoretical situation.”

Harry rolled his eyes and shook his head but throughout this whole exchange he never once pulled his hand away from the other wizard.

Maybe his future really was starting to become bright with the possibility of happiness and family.

Chapter Text

The candlelight in the Headmaster’s office flickered as the staircase clicked into place behind Harry. The carved griffin statue sealed itself, and the silence that followed was thick.

Dumbledore looked up from behind his desk, fingers steepled, half-moon spectacles glinting. Harry had left the castle early this morning and now it was after dinner.

The house elves had said they saw Harry going into the kitchens the past couple nights and leaving with meat, it had not even been cooked and Dumbledore wondered if it was for the three headed dog he had hidden on the third floor.

A knock at the door snapped the old wizard out of his thoughts and Harry’s little face poked in. Nothing seemed different about him as far as he could tell.

”You wanted to see me sir?”

”Yes come in my boy.”

Harry did as asked and sat down. He had just spent the last two hours trying to get Jasper to let him come back to school let alone Alice who wouldn’t stop squishing his cheeks, then there was Theo his new self appointed friend who kept telling him not to go see Dumbledore but Harry had questions and he was not going to let them go unanswered.

Theo did make him promise he wouldn’t give a lot of information about his family to the Headmaster and especially never to show him his inheritance test.

“Would you like lemon drop Harry?” Asked the old wizard watching the little lion sit.

The boy shook his head as he played with the hem of his robes. Harry didn’t know exactly what he expected from Dumbledore, but he had to be assertive here and get the answers he deserved.

“Sir,” Harry said, sharper than he meant to. “Why did you leave me with the Dursleys?”

Dumbledore blinked, completely taken a back?

”Pardon?”

“Why did you leave me there?” Harry repeated. “I thought they were my only family but I learned today that isn’t the truth.”

“Harry my boy you know they are your Aunt and Uncle,” Dumbledore said quietly. “The only family you have left to take care of you.”

Harry shook his head and scowled, he could feel his fangs trying to come out. It had taken a few hours for Jasper to teach him how to put his fangs away and Theo had put a light glamour on his eyes to hide the golden specks.

No, he wouldn’t lose control now, especially in-front of Dumbledore.

“That’s what you told me. But it’s not true, is it?”

Dumbledore said nothing and that’s all Harry needed to know.

”You knew, you knew how they were and that I didn’t share blood with them but you made your own blood ward and left me with them.”

Dumbledore was silent watching the boy slowly sit up straight.

“The goblins said the blood link was severed because it was fake, someone known as my magical guardian had me placed in an environment I should never have been in.”

Dumbledore’s fingers twitched slightly, his posture lowering.

“Some things are done, Harry, not because they are kind, but because they are necessary.”

“And lying to me was necessary? Letting them hurt me and abuse me was necessary? ” Harry shot back.

“No,” Dumbledore admitted softly. “That was… a consequence. And perhaps not one I am proud of but one that was for the greater good.”

Harry scoffed crossing his arms “The greater good.”

The Headmaster nodded his head but Harry was not letting him loose.

“The greater good but why leave me with people who hated me people who hurt me?”

Dumbledore sighed, the weight of years settling on his shoulders but he couldn’t understand why Harry was lashing out now.

“There was a protection I needed to place upon you. A very old one consisting of blood magic. It required you to live with someone of your mother’s blood and Lily had blood adopted you..”

Harry snapped his head over to him and raised an eyebrow.

”No she didn’t.”

Dumbledore looked at him, his eyes widening in slight shock.

”But she said…”

”She wanted to but she was murdered before the ritual could have been finished you would have known that if you had my blood inheritance test done when it was meant to, when I was an infant instead of doing what you wanted and thrown me away to abusers!”

Harry knew he was acting out and he could only blame it in his incoming vampire blood.

“You are your father’s son, Harry. But lineage is not always so… linear. I couldn’t risk someone else taking you away. Who knows who James was with they could have been dangerous.”

Harrys let out a deep growl “ First of all my father had known exactly what he was doing, second of all you have no idea what you’re talking about. You do not know who he chose to have a child with and for what reason so you have no excuse for thinking that whoever my sire was would have been any better then the Dursleys, you didn’t even bother to check and you didn’t care about me all. You cared about was keeping me hidden away and controlled so you refused to allow someone to take me in when they would have loved me because you know why, it’s because you wouldn’t have had your lamb for you to heard.” 

Harry panted heavily as his eyes burned into the other wizard.

“You must understand, Harry. You were an infant. The war had just ended. There were people who would stop at nothing to find you, to kill you, or worse… to use you. I made the choice that gave you the best chance at surviving.”

“But you didn’t give me a chance to live and have a happy childhood with someone who could have loved me, who would have loved me.” Harry snapped, the glamour almost falling as his magic swirled around him pushing the desk to the side of the room, parchment and quills flew everywhere.

Dumbledore finally flinched  and Harry couldn’t lie when he felt a huge sense of satisfaction from it.

With that the boy turned away from his headmaster, a huge chunk of respect for him had fallen. Dumbledore tried to call him back but when he looked back Harry was gone.

He hadn’t even heard him leave from the door that now stood open.

Chapter Text

The three vampires sat around their hotel room working on paperwork for Harry and coming up with an idea on how to tell the rest of the coven about the boy. They had gotten a lawyer from the American ministry to fight against the creature laws in England and just as the goblins said, they had a strong case due to Jasper’s status as an American vampire.

“I only wish I’d known sooner,” Jasper muttered, eyes still on the horizon. “We came here thinking James might still be alive but I found out not only is he dead but our son was subjected to a life like that when he had a perfectly good family in us to take care of him.”

“What matters now is that we move forward and help him, we know of him now and can love him as he deserves.” Carlisle reasoned.

Alice stepped beside him, her voice light but serious. “You’ve got to tell the others. Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Esme, they need to be told about Harry.”

”You know he’s going to be very spoiled I just hope Harry can handle it he’s a very shy boy” Jasper responded sitting down on the bed by the window.

Alice grinned. “Oh, they will be so in love with him, he’s adorable and small, perfect size for cuddles and dress up. And besides, he’s yours Jasper.”

”We will have to warn them about Harry’s issues and we will have to accommodate his magic and needs as well.”

“So who’s going to be the one to call the rest of the family” Alice asked,

Her and Jasper both looked over at Carlisle.

Carlisle stood near the window and shook his head pulling out his phone and dialing Emmett first.

“Hey, this is Emmett. If you're calling to tell me you found Bigfoot, press one. If you're calling to challenge me to an arm-wrestling rematch, press two—” The coven head blinked as Alice shook her head.

”Voicemail, call Edward he always answers.”

Carlisle nodded and did as told.

“Hello?” Edward’s voice was cautious and distant. “It’s been a few days.Everything alright?”

Carlisle stepped forward sitting on a nearby couch. “Yes  and no. We’ve found something is everyone there.”

”Yes, what happened, how’s James?”

Carlisle was silent for a second as he watched Jasper twitch a bit 

“Um James has died, he passed over ten years ago.”

Edward was silent “Is Jasper there?”

”Yes.”

”Jazz I’m sorry you had to find out that way.”

Everyone was quiet on both sides of the line.

Jasper took a deep breath. “Edward… I have a son.”

Another pause.

”…What?”

”Me and James had a son.”

Then came Emmett’s voice in the background. “Wait, what? What do you mean you had a son?”

”It’s a long story but not one we can tell over the phone.”

Rosalie’s sharper voice followed. “Tell me this is a joke. Please.”

Jasper knew how Rosalie would react specifically. She always wanted a child and maybe seeing her two brothers having children was to much for her.

”No Rose it’s not a joke, his name is Harry, he was the one Alice saw in her vision.”

“He’s so little Rose, he’s eleven but looks like a nine year old.”

Alice chimed in. “He’s kind, awkward, curious. Brave. Rose I’m sure you’ll love him, he needs a family and he needs love.”

“Jasper?” Esme’s voice came softly through the speaker. “Are you okay?”

Jasper swallowed. “Honestly? I don’t know. I feel like I lost something and found it all at once, James wasn’t my mate or anything but...”

"But he was a part of you."

Jasper nodded even though no one on the other end could see it"Yeah he was."

Rosalie cut in again, though her voice was quieter now. “Is he safe?”

“Things at his school have been strange and we cannot let him go back to his previous home life.” 

“I want to meet him,” Esme said at once.

“Me too,” Emmett added. “This kid better like football and tree climbing.”

Then Rosalie sighed. “…If he’s yours, he’s ours.”

Esma squealed “oh we have to set up a room for him and get him lots of clothes I need to get groceries the poor baby must be starving."

Jasper smiled softly as he listened to his family talk about everything they would do with his son.

He just hoped Harry would like playing the piano because Edward was already getting the sheet music. 

A few days had gone by since Harry had met his father and things sure were changing. The school year was coming to an end and Harry was being roped into things he didn’t exactly want Jasper to know of concerning three dreaded dogs and a certain stone, he also somewhat detached himself from Dumbledore who kept trying to ‘make him see reason’ though Harry was sure he wanted him to go back to the Dursleys. 

There was no way he was going back to the Dursleys .

Him and Theo have kept a low profile friendship for the last couple weeks, they would sneak away to meet up somewhere in the castle and just hang out for a while, it was funny how far they had come in their friendship. 

He had been sending letters to his new family as well and so far they were getting along though Carlisle wasn’t sure when Harry would be able to meet everyone he was certain it would be soon.

And it came a lot sooner then anyone thought.

The hospital wing was quiet, save for the occasional hoot from a distant owl and the soft ticking of Madam Pomfrey’s enchanted clock. Harry lay still, bandaged and bruised, recovering from the ordeal beneath the trapdoor: the Devil’s Snare, the flying keys, the chess game, the Mirror of Erised... and Voldemort.

His friends had long since left and Theo had snuck in laying his head at the foot of his bed.

Harry let out a soft groan as he looked around the room.

He hadn't seen the figure standing in the shadows yet.

The man looked out of place, his golden eyes catching the moonlight filtering through the tall windows.

His voice dominated the room causing Harry to snap his head up.

”I know I don’t know much about magic school but even I know this is not what is meant to happen in one.”

Harry looked over at him, moving his leg he accidentally kicked Theo who quickly woke up seeing the vampire close by.

”Pack your bags Harry I’m taking you back home with me and away from here.”

Chapter Text

“Wait I’m what”

”I said your leaving this school there is no way I’m letting you stay here after what just happened”

Harry sat on the edge of the hospital bed, the warmth of sunlight streaming through the windows, but he felt anything butwarm. His entire world had tilted. His..dad had just told him he was pulling him out of Hogwarts for good, Harry was so blindsided by this and he was not sure how he felt about it

“You’re not serious,” Harry said, blinking fast. “You—you want to take me away? But it’s my home. It’s where my friends are. Ron, Hermione…”

”Harry I don’t know how hard you banged your head on those rocks but you could have died today, you would have died, you have been knocked out for three days” Jaspers tone was calm and that made his statement harder to digest 

Had it really been that long

Jasper knelt again, his hands resting on his knees gently placing a cool hand on his sons cheek “Harry… you nearly died. Because a possessed professor tricked you into going down there alone. And your Headmaster let you go down there because he was ignorant enough to believe a meet school was the place for some rock and he let a three headed dog be in this school”

“It wasn’t like that,” Harry whispered. “I had to stop him...it has to be me”

”No Harry it doesn’t have to be you, you are an eleven year old child and James would not want you to live the same life..die the same way he did”

Harry was silent and looked down at his lap. He knew it was harsh but he was happy someone cared enough about him to want to do something for him

He just wished it wasn’t this

Jasper’s jaw tensed, his voice quiet but edged. “A child should not have to save a world he doesn’t even understand.”

Before Harry could answer, the door to the Hospital Wing opened and the Headmaster himself walked inside

The twinkle in his eye was dimmer than usual, more calculating than kind. He nodded at Madam Pomfrey but said nothing until the curtain was drawn fully around Harry’s bed.

“I see we have guests,” he said mildly, his gaze falling on Jasper. “And who might you be”

”I am Harry’s Sire though I suppose you would have known that had you done your duty as my sons magical guardian and actually gotten him blood tested after James’ passing” 

The older wizards eyes widened for a second, he had no idea Harry went through with finding his other family 

“I’m taking my son home,” Jasper said, rising from the floor as he stood in front of Harry, Theo had left to give the two space no doubt he was close by though 

Dumbledore’s face remained calm, but Harry saw the way his hands trembled slightly at his side

“I understand this may be a shock,” Dumbledore said gently. “But Harry is not simply a child. He is the key to—”

”No, he is not your dog to make him do tricks and fetch your mistakes, he is not some pawn in your game of chess to move around at your leisure l, he is a boy, he is my son and he is James’ son he is a child”

“You don't understand the protections in place—”

”No” Carlisle stepped up almost glaring at the Headmaster, his voice like cool marble. “You don’t understand. You placed a volatile magical artifact in a school full of children, protected it with riddles and games and traps… and left it accessible. That is not protection. That is negligence.”

”Not only did you put his school life in danger but you left him with..people who actively hated him and abused him for years and for what, so he would be a submissive slave to your beck and call when you needed him for something” Alice hissed baring her fangs at the man

Both Jasper and Carlisle looked at her in slight confusion 

Did Alice know something 

“You wanted to see what Harry would do. What he was capable of. You used him.”

Dumbledore’s face finally hardened, the twinkle gone. “He is safer here than anywhere else in the world.”

“Safe” Jasper growled “he almost died on this very bed three times because his magic was so weak”

Harry gasped, he didn’t know that part

“The protections Lily gave him..’”

”Don’t mean anything when she wasn’t his blood, those protections were his own magic and DNA and you put him somewhere he should never have been in”

There was silence and no one really knew what to say

”Do you really want me to go with you”

Jasper turned his head, his expression softening as he gently stroked his sons cheek

”I want you to live a happy live, I know I wasn’t in it much but now I am and I am not letting you go, we will figure everything out one day at a time”

Harry looked from his father to the Headmaster

”I want to go with you” 

That afternoon Harry was in his dorm busying packing away his things into his trunk. He had already collected Hedwig and after making his new family promise they wouldn’t eat her he sent her off to be quarantine by MACUSA as per their regulations on bringing in magical animals 

He glanced at the bed, his bed for the last year then at the window overlooking the lake. Somewhere deep inside, it felt like he was leaving a piece of himself behind but another part of him felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders 

Ron and Herminoe stood at the door their expressions sad

”do you have to go” Asked Ron 

“He’s my dad, they are my family. You saw what was down there and what we went through, it shouldn’t be us and if I stay it will continue to be me”

Herminoe wiped her eyes “your right it’s just…we just met you”

Harry smiled as he went and hugged them”you’ll always be my best friends and I promise to keep in touch and visit besides someone has to let me know what happens with Malfoy”

He pulled away from the group hug and looked at the two, his first ever friends, his first family

“Write to us. Every week. No excuses.”

Harry smiled. “Deal.”

They hugged one last time then pulled away for good. Harry smiled at them and picked up his trunks handles heading down the stairs

Professor McGonagall was waiting for him. Her lips were thin as she looked down at the boy and without a word she reached into her robe pocket pulling out a small box handing it over to Harry 

Harry blinked down at it before he opened it. Inside was a bronze plaque engraved with gold

James Fleamont Potter- Chased and Captain 

1975-1978

“Fastest in the sky. Always the first to fly and the last to fall”

Harry’s hands trembled as he looked up at the professor “I thought these stayed in the case”

“The one in the case is a copy..this one is the original. I kept it after he passed I suppose I couldn’t part with it at the time. Your father was as reckless as the sky is free but he loved you with everything he had and everything he was so I wanted you to have it”

He swallowed hard. “Thank you, Professor.”

The older witch smiled down at him as she gently brushed his hair from his face” your just like him and equally as reckless hopefully your other father can take you down a bit”

Harry smiled brightly as he held the plaque close. The sound of heavy footsteps caught the two wixens attention and Harry smiled seeing Hagrid coming up towards them

His eyes were already red from crying as he quickly pulled Harry into a hug then pulled away. In his hands, he held something wrapped in dragonhide.

“Brought yeh summat,” he mumbled, thrusting the bundle into Harry’s arms. “Didn’t want yeh leavin’ without it.”

Harry unwrapped it And smiled softly, tears coming down his cheek

It was a photo album and inside were pictures of his dad, his mum and some other people in as well. He’d have to go through it in detail later 

“I..how did you—?”

“Borrowed some from old school friends,” Hagrid muttered. “Knew you’d want to see ‘em.”

Harry smiled up at him then at the professor “thank you for everything”

With that he had one last person to say goodbye to and he was dreading every second of it 

The sun was nearly gone, painting the lake in fading streaks of orange and violet. The air smelled of damp grass and distant pine. Harry had given his trunk to Jasper and had headed off to the Black Lake to meet up with Theo 

He waited under the old willow tree looking into the water

And Theo came.

Theo walking up the small slope toward him. His usual neutral expression was a little more serious

”Thought you ran off already, nice to know his highness remembers the little people”

Harry shook his head and smiled softly” wanted to say goodbye to my loyal fans”

Theo stopped beside him, hands in his pockets. They stood in silence, the water lapping gently at the rocks. The sky slowly darkened and the stars slowly coming out

”you’ve always been very emotional” He said softly

”hey well you act like you don’t care about anything but your the one who stayed with me all this time”Harry responded back 

Theo snorted and shook his head”someone had to help the disaster that is you but I suppose you weren’t so bad”

Harry’s grin faded, and he looked down at the grass beneath his shoes.

”Everything happened so fast and it feels like every time I find home something happens to take it away”

Theo didn’t answer right away. When he finally spoke, his voice was quieter than usual.

“I remember the first night you came here. Everyone thought you’d be some arrogant Gryffindor hero.” He smirked. “You were awkward. Messy. Fell down a staircase on the second day.”

Harry groaned and rubbed his head”you saw that”

”Harry everyone saw that, they just didn’t want to say anything to you”

”remember the weird looks we got when we sat next to each other in potions” Harry said as Theo chuckled

”that class is already boring and I wanted a front row seat to the disaster that is you”

There was a long pause.

Then Theo reached into his robe pocket and pulled out a small black stone smooth and flat. He pressed it into Harry’s hand.

“What’s this?”

“Skimming stone. My mum used to keep one in her pocket for luck. I don’t believe in luck,” he said quickly, “but... you do.”

Harry held it tightly.

“Thanks, Theo.”

Harry pulled him into a hug. Quick, strong, unexpected.

Theo stiffened, then sighed and returned it with one hand on Harry’s back.

“You're such a Gryffindor,” he muttered.

Harry grinned into his shoulder. “And you’re the best Slytherin I know.”

“Oh I won’t be a Slytherin for much longer”

Harry blinked and pulled away from him “huh”

”oh nothing for his highness to worry about now hurry along before your dad sends a search party”

Harry nodded and turned to leave then looked back at the other 

He ran off but Potter luck was never on his side and he ran straight into a tree, blushing when he heard Theo laugh behind him

He may not miss him as much as he thought after all

Chapter Text

Harry looked out of the window of the black car, his eyes scanned the forests as all kinds of smells came to him.

”You live in a forest, do you live in trees I used to stay up in trees when Aunt Marge's dog chased me around all the time, I spent hours in them.”

Jasper twitched slightly from his seat next to Harry as the two up front took deep breaths, Harry was so amazed by the forest he didn’t even notice. 

”No Harry we live in a very nice house you’ll love it.” Alice said changing the subject.

“Do you think the others will like me?” Harry looked at them.

Jasper smiled as he ruffled the boys already messy hair “They will love you but be warned Esme and Rose are very excited to meet you so you might be fought over.”

Harry blinked up at him not sure how to respond to that.

Jasper looked down at his boy almost getting lost in those big green eyes...

How could somone hurt such a presious little thing.

Soon they reached the house and the car came to a stop.

Harry stepped out of the sleek black car and looked up at the house. It was a lot larger than the Dursleys house and he could smell other vampires inside already. He looked back at his father and Jasper smiled down at him.

”it's going to be okay.”

Harry nodded watching the other three walk up to the door with himself walking behind them.

The door opened before they even reached it.

Esme was the one who stepped out, warm eyes and arms that wrapped around Harry before he had time to blink.

”Oh darling look at you, your so beautiful.” She smiled as she gently stroked his cheeks once she pulled away and Harry couldn’t help but smile up at her causing her to coo at him even more.

“Hi,” He mumbled awkwardly.

Esme smiled and kissed his head completely ignoring everyone else”Come on in darling you must be hungry from the trip Carlisle says you drink blood and eat food correct.”

Harry nodded.

“Oh good I have already prepared dinner for you come before it gets cold.”

Harry followed behind her and was pleasantly surprised that the house was very warm, he knew vampires didn’t need any real temperature control.

The living room was wide and open, glowing with the last light of day. The walls were lined with art, books, and plants. It smelled like pine and lemon.

A blur of motion and a crash from upstairs was followed by a booming voice.

“HE’S HERE? NOW?”

Harry jumped hiding behind Jasper as another vampire came down looking around then smiled brightly once he laid eyes on the little vampire.

Jasper immediately sensed Harry’s fear.

He was sensitive to yelling.

Jasper sent calming emotions to Emmett who immediately stopped as Alice scooped up Harry and nuzzled him distracting him. 

“Don’t mind your Uncle Emmett he’s a loud one I promise everyone else is more civilized.”

Harry squealed and laughed as Alice hugged him.

Emmett came over who was now a lot calmer as he ruffled Harry’s hair”Awe look at you I can’t wait to play games with you and watch movies, oh we should start with Wolverine.”

Harry frowned. “Who’s Wolverine?”

Emmett gasped. “We’re going to fix that.”

Then came Rosalie and everyone got quiet.

She glided down the stairs, regal and distant, her golden eyes cool but curious. She didn’t say anything just looked Harry over like she was piecing together a puzzle but even she couldn’t resist those big green eyes, messy dark hair and chubby cheeks.

A smile formed on her face as she took him from Alice and gave him a kiss.”Your so beautiful how could something so precious come from a brute like Jasper.”

Jasper looked over at her and scowled but Rose just ignored him.

“Oh look at your pretty eyes.” Rose nuzzled Harry who was now trapped in her arms.

He felt like a baby honestly.

But her hugs felt so safe, they weren't the warmest but the boy found himself content to just curl up in her embrace. 

Esme came over and smiled.” Alright Rose let the boy breath besides look at him, he must be starving his little heart out.”

 Rose set him down and Harry stood there for a second trying to get a grasp of himself again.

”The others will be here tomorrow morning they are your Aunt and Uncle Edward and Bella then your cousin Renesmee and her protector Jacob Black.”

Harry nodded as he was led to a table with many plates of different foods.

As Harry sat at the table, the entire family lingered nearby, not quite hovering, but very clearly trying to make him feel at ease.

”I wasn't sure what you’d like so I made a few options and there is juice and also rabbit blood for you to choose from.”

Harry’s eyes sparkled”Rabbit blood.”

Jasper chuckled serving him a cup of it and watching as Harry drank it all then smiled his little tooth poking out and everyone awed at him causing the boy to blush.

At least he was accepting of his vampire side more so now.

Chapter Text

It was early the next morning when Harry was woken up by a peck at his window. He groaned and rolled over on his new bed forgetting he wasn’t in England anymore.

He sat up and looked around noticing he was in a large bedroom, the walls were mostly bare but he remembered his..grandmother saying they would decorate his room however he wanted later on.

His bedroom.

His home.

The owl at the window tapped harder and Harry blinked going up to it and opening it up.

It dropped a letter at his feet then flew off and this was when Harry’s day was about to get busy:

The chamber was carved in marble and obsidian, its vast dome glittering with floating glyphs and centuries of magical law etched in gold. Every step Harry took echoed off the stone floors like a larger weight was put in his small shoulders.

Harry had barley been in the States and he was already being called to MACUSA and with the port key ready for him, already prepared Harry had come in his finest robes which were really his old school robes, and arrived with Jasper and Carlisle at his side.

Harry reached the doors and gulped as the wizard guarding them stared down at him his voice hard and stern.

”Stare your business here wix”.

Harry took a step back as Carlisle stepped up”Um hello my grandson had just received a summons”.

The wizard stared at him for a second then at Harry “State your name wizard”.

“Harry Potter sir” Harry said softly and the wizard blinked at him.

”A wizard does not cower you speak up”.

Jasper growled softly as he stood beside his son but another voice cut in.

”Samual stop your scaring the boy clearly he doesn’t know how to be addressed yet that’s why he was called here” Another man came over as he stood beside his colleague.

“Ignore him he’s way to into this job now please show me your wand and tap it to this deal it will glow once it confirms your  identity”.

Harry nodded and did as asked trying to ignore the men when his hair flew up a bit revealing his scar.

When the grand doors opened, a hush swept over the chamber.

Dozens of magical officials, diplomats, and enforcers from every major territory across the Americas turned toward the boy with the lightning scar.

This would soon be Harry’s world and he knew it.

”Why was I called here” Harry asked the older wizard who had introduced himself as Ezra.

“You need to claim your seats and responsibilities here in America as you will be living here now and luckily for you your account manager back in England has already sent over all your paperwork and registration now the Minister will see you” He opened another door and the three vampires walked in the large chamber, it’s walls decorated and polished.

At the center was a long, raised bench where five high-ranking MACUSA officials sat, flanked by advisors.

But one stood apart.

Minister Arron Davis.

The trio walked through polished corridors that hummed with protective spells. Magical portraits turned to stare. Several officials whispered behind their hands.

Harry wasn’t sure if they saw him or just the legend of him.

”The room recognizes Lord Heir Harry James Potter Black” One wizard said.

"Mr. Potter," Arron greeted, with the air of someone with high levels of confidence "You’ve caused quite the stir, stepping onto American soil with allegations such as the ones that persevere you”.

Harry blinked ag that “Allegations…but I’ve done nothing wrong”.

”Not from you if anything you were the victim, you see Lord Heir Potter Black we wixen take things very seriously this includes traditions and laws and you such as young as you are have been done a very huge wrong”.

Harry looked at Carlisle then at Jasper both looking equally confused.

“What sort of wrong”.

”The neglect of your titles and your conditions, as you know form your English account manager you should have been blood tested and placed accordingly into a family suitable for you but you were not, and such many things within your house have been left for neglect even before your time so it seems”.

Harry blinked. “I didn’t mean to cause any stir or any kind of trouble I didn’t even know I was a wizard until a year ago and I just found out about my past a few weeks ago”.

”So no one has taught you anything” Said one witch.

Harry shook his head” No I was summoned to the wizarding bank a few weeks ago and that’s when I really was told my life was a lie and I was supposed to be someone else or well someplace else”.

Jasper stepped forward. “If you’re calling this meeting to interrogate him, then—”.

Arron shook his head”This is not an interrogation this is a full declaration, you see Mr Potter here as you know is the sole heir to the house of Black and lord of the house of Potter both of which are old families. He has legal claim to those names here on this soil due to blood connections here and the Ministry does need more lords on our benches as we do not have as many as England does”.

”So you want my grandson to become a political figure” Carlisle stated.

”The boy has been a political figure since his birth, while his vampire blood would hinder him on the British aisles here in America we are more open minded to such things as long as he is in control of himself and his houses”.

Harry then looked down at his rings, the ones the goblins had given to him.

”you mean…”.

“You are,” Arron said, “by right of magic, blood, and unchallenged inheritance… the Head of House Potter and the last remaining true heir of House Black.”.

”But I wasn’t born a Black”.

”You were legitimized by Sirius Black is this statement true”.

”Yes it is, he was my Godfather but  he was imprisoned for my parents murder”.

”Yet he never received a trial is this true”.

”Not that I’m aware of”.

”As acting Lord you have the right to demand one in his place and you have the right to hold seats within this government those remaining in your houses will be notified of your inheritance”.

Harry sat on a stone bench, fingers running over the edge of the bench, the weight of those titles pressing down like a mountain.

Jasper sat beside him and gently took his hand.

“This is a lot to take in, I’m only eleven and they want me to work in the government”.

Jasper didn’t speak for a long moment. Then he said, “When I was made a major at nineteen. I felt the same way. Too young. Too green. But the truth is… leadership never waits until you're ready. It just shows up and stares you in the face.”.

Harry sighed softly, playing with his rings.

“I wish Theo was here he grew up with all these rules he’s the one who went with me that first time and told me everything I know now”.

”I’m sure you’ll see him again someday for now we have to go buy all those books you need, your money and everything you had in England has been transferred to the wizarding bank here so your all set”.

Harry groaned and stood up not looking forward to spending his summer, his first happy family filled summer, reading. 

At least he could send a long letter to Theo about all this.

Little did Harry know a certain tribe chief had just received his own letter stating the claim of his new head of house.

Chapter Text

The sun was setting in a blaze of orange over the trees of La Push, casting long shadows across the Black family’s porch. Billy Black sat in his worn wheelchair watching the sun set. He smiled in contentment while listening to nature around him.

The quiet atmosphere was broken by the soft flapping of wings.

An owl. 

It stood out against the browns and tans of the reservation with its white pelt. 

The owl extended its leg. Tied to it was a sealed envelope, thick parchment, the wax insignia with a large M.

Billy knew what this was. Many years ago his grandfather had come to the tribe from England. His father had told him at first that it was family affairs and it sure was.

He took the letter from the owl then watched as it flew off into the skies above.

Billy tore the envelope open with a shaking hand and began to read.

To William and Jacob Black descendants of Ephraim Black

This letter has been sent to you as per the House laws of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black.

We have reached out to you in notice of the new Heir Lord Harry James Potter Black Cullen your new Head of House. He had been made Lord Sirius Orion Blacks legitimate heir upon his birth and has recently come into his inheritance and has been recognized as the rightful Head of the House of Black.

Due to the actions of your ancestor Ephriam Black, your line had been exiled and banished from the line of inheritance but now with the new Lord Heir you have the opportunity to have your banishment lifted.

Lord Heir Harry James Potter Black Cullen is now your patriarch and as such his magic and name now will be able to protect, aid and have authority over all black lines.

Though he is but eleven, the House recognizes his right to convene its scions, command its loyalty, and access its legacy.

We await your reply to this letter,

MACUSA Gringotts Wizarding Bank 

Billy read it twice then twice more. He couldn’t believe after all this time the Blacks past was actually catching up to them. He knew the other chiefs were not going to like this but the powers their land had…

That power belonged to the Blacks. 

Carved masks and animal spirits lined the wooden walls. Smoke from cedar wood curled upward, a sacred offering to the ancestors. The tribe leaders all sat together as Billy looked to the others as he looked down at the parchment on his lap.

Even feeling it seemed to burn.

”Billy you cannot be serious, a child.. no not just a child but a Cullen and a vampire.”

Billy didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he held the letter out and let each chief read it for themselves. He watched their faces as everyone of them got quieter.

“You know how we got the ability to transform into wolves, it was my great grandfathers magic that gave us this gift and since his passing we have been out of balance, we have to many wolves even with the vampires coming together to fight their war we cannot keep up with the demand and the packs are getting to large.”

They we’re all silent as Sue spoke.

“How can we even begin to trust a mere child vampire, he could make this land his own and do whatever he wants with it, our treaty with the vampires could be put to null and they could run in here all they want.”

“The child is the grandson of Carlisle and he and his coven have respected our boundaries and laws though I agree, I cannot stop him from stepping foot in these lands since I do not have that power over him even of my family’s disownment but I believe with the guardian he has in the Cullen leader we can reach an agreement. Jacob is by accounts part of that coven and he is also a Black.”

Then Quil leaned forward. “Ephraim was cast out by the Blacks and then he tried to hide who he was but when wolves started to appear he had to tell us the truth and since then his magic has been on our lands but with so many vampires and wolves coming together then with him not being here to cast more magic…”

”It made everything unstable and younger kids were turned at random weather we like it or not we do need magic in the soil again” Billy said and no one could argue with him.

The packs were to big for the land and more kept shifting. They did have wolf shifters before the exiled Black showed up but back then their chief was also a wizard.

Their lands and traditions all stemmed from magic and from a wix.

“Hopefully this vampire is as conversational as his grandfather.”

Chapter Text

The sun came down over the distant hills, Harry sat on the window seat of his new bedroom still bare and empty. 

In a way he felt the same way. 

He was in a weird state of grief and mourning. Mourning for the life he lost and grief for the one he could have had. He had finally been left alone after so much going on.

Everything in the past couple weeks finally set into his head.

James was his mother. 

Jasper was his father.

Lily loved him but wasn’t his mother and since she wasn’t he was sent to a home he didn’t even need to be in, he lived a life he didn’t deserve.

Dumbledore tried to play it off as if it was no big deal, as if he was meant to be his obedient pet and do as his master had said. 

Then he actually became friends with Theodore Nott of all wizards, that in on itself was a whole spectacle.

His vampire dad and his vampire family came and whisked him away to another country like Cinderella.

And finally the whole Heir and Lord situation that he was born into. His godfather making him his legitimate heir and a pureblood and so now he’s held responsible for his families future.

Yeah it’s been a rough couple weeks for an eleven year old.

Harry growled as he clenched his fists. 

The part that stung the most wasn’t even that Lily hadn’t been his mum, James was his carrier or that Jasper was his father.

No what stung the most was Dumbledore looking him in the eye and telling him his rightful family meant nothing and his abusive life was the best option for everyone.

Pretended like the cupboard was for his “own good.”

“Your mother’s blood protected you there.” Dumbledore had said softly as his eyes twinkled.

But she wasn’t his mother was she.

Dumbledore made him feel like a weapon in a box, he was controlled when needed and locked away and kept hidden when he wasn’t.

Harry sniffed and wiped at his nose angrily with his sleeve. He looked down at the wand beside him, loyal to him. Like Hedwig, wherever she was now in quarantine.

...He didn’t know anymore.

Everything was just flipped upside down.

”Your a wizard Harry.”

”Your a vampire hybrid Harry.”

”Your head of the Potters and Blacks Harry.”

”Harry.”

”Harry.”

”Harry.”

Harry hadn’t responded then. How could he?

He was eleven. He should’ve been worried about homework, Quidditch, sweets, and everything amazing about magic.

But no, instead he was the Lord Heir to bloodlines he barley understood and with responsibilities he couldn’t live up to.

Pulling out the stone Theo had given him before he left Harry sighed and leaned back in the wall gently rubbing the smooth surface with his thumb. 

He missed Theo a lot, well he missed everyone but Theo was a constant on his mind these days.

Then Harry’s head turned up sharply. 

A scent.

Their were people coming closer to the house.

“Harry sweetheart come down theirs people who want to meet you.” His grandmother called for him and Harry hummed doing as asked.

Harry hesitated at the top of the stairs.

He could hear voices from the living room and could smell new people. 

As he descended the steps of the Cullen house, the voices stilled. Four sets of eyes turned toward him at once.

”Um…hello” Harry said as he poked his head from behind Emmett. 

The two women cooed at him causing the boy to blush and hide.

“You were right Esme he is the most precious thing I’ve ever seen.” Bella said.

Bella smiled gently. “Hello, Harry. I’m your aunt Bella. This is Renesmee. And that’s Uncle Edward… and Jacob.”

Renesmee gave him a shy wave while Jacob didn’t move.

Harry nodded once, then looked at Edward.

“You’re the one who reads minds.” Harry said plainly.

It wasn’t a question.

Edward blinked, caught off guard.

“…Yes.”

Harrys eyes sparkled “ooooh that’s so cool.” 

Edward blinked as Harry came out from hiding and came up right to him eyes sparkling and his one full grown vampire tooth poking out while a new one was growing in.

Darn he was so cute. 

…Wait a second.

Edward looked around the room counting everyone in there.

Apart from himself their were now eleven members in the coven including Jacob but he could only hear nine people.

He knew Bella couldn’t be reached so who…

Then his brow furrowed.

Again. Nothing.

“I..I can’t hear his thoughts.” 

Jacob blinked at him”What?”

”I can’t hear Harry’s thoughts, they are blocking it’s like a really thick fog.”

Harry looked between them. “It’s not Occlumency,” he muttered.“I don’t even know how to do it.”

”Occlumency?” 

“The ability to stop someone from reading your mind a lot of wizards can do it but it’s something hard to learn.” Harry explained.

”it could be your magic who knows what it’s capable of.” Carlisle said as he ruffled Harry’s hair. 

There was a pause.

Renesmee broke it by walking up to Harry and gently touching his hand. Harry startled slightly, but didn’t pull away.

She smiled and looked down at him.

”I can’t even give you my memories your completely shut off to mind gifts who knows what else.”

”I couldn’t really see him in my visions either, it hurt when I tried to focus on him” Alice charmed in as Jasper hummed.

“I can feel his emotions but even my gift can't change them.”

Harry blinked and looked around getting nervous at being singled out.

Being different. 

He could feel his magic pulsing through his body as the lights started to flicker.

Jasper went over to him gently cradling him at his side as he rubbed his shoulder blades.

“Hey it’s okay everything is okay.” The vampire gently held his son close to him as Harry slowly calmed down.

“Your alright Harry no one thinks of you any differently.” Edward said softly.

“But you can’t…”

”That doesn’t make you strange and it doesn’t make you weird it makes you you.” Jasper responded.

Harry snuggled into jaspers belly as said man looked over at Carlisle and raised an eyebrow. 

Harry really was something special.

Chapter Text

The coven had settled down after Harry was introduced to Edward and the others, though Carlisle wanted to get his old friend Eleazar to come check out Harry.

But for now Harry was busy being coddled by his aunts and grandmother and really had no plans on leaving anytime soon.

Well that was the plan until an owl appeared. It soared through the open window and landed right in front of the wizard gazing up at him with a letter tied to its leg.

Harry blinked at it as it simply blinked back.

He gently took the letter from the bird as the vampires around him watched. The owl then pecked at him and flew off back to wherever it had come from.

“What is it” Asked Jasper sitting down beside his son.

“It’s a letter I think” Harry turned it around so the front faced him.

Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, United States
Founded 1627

Harry unrolled the parchment.

The writing shimmered with silver-blue ink and it pulsed faintly in his hands as if the magic was alive.

That sure felt different then when he got his Hogwarts letter.

Mr. Harry J. Potter-Black-Cullen,

We at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have been made aware of your recent magical activation and your confirmed status as a Head of Ancient Houses by international magical law and here by offer you a place among our students for the upcoming school year for the continuation of your magical education.

Deputy Headmistress, Ilvermorny

Harry reread the letter three times before lowering it into his lap. Carlisle took the letter from him and read it himself.

“I was actually wondering how we were going to make due with your schooling so this works out nicely.” Carlisle said setting down the letter for everyone to see.

”But it’s all the way across the country I don’t want to leave.” Harry snuggled into Esme who kissed his head.

”No need to worry about that Harry we have houses everywhere, even in Massachusetts.” Alice said as she sat in a chair in front of the group.

”You’d go to a whole other state just for me?” Harry sat up and looked at everyone.

“Baby your far more important then anything else in the world of course we would do anything for you.” Esme gently stroked Harry’s cheeks causing the boy to blush.

Emmett smirked and ruffled his hair”Your stuck with us kid no getting out of it.”

Harry was quiet for a long moment.

”Back at Hogwarts I was so busy with other things I didn’t even get far in my studies."He rubbed his head and groaned " I’d be so far behind.”

”I’m sure we can find you a tutor no need to worry.” Responded Edward looking over at him from his seat at the piano.

Harry looked at the letter again and a part of him felt sad.

"If I accepted this wouldn't that mean I'll be leaving Hogwarts behind for good?"

“You deserve a real school with real people who will want your best interest at heart.” Rose said softly as she gently ran her fingers through his hair. 

Harry stared at the empty space where the owl had landed.

“But then I leave everything I was behind, I leave my past behind and when Dumbledore finds out he will not be happy.”

Harry sighed and thought it over omve again.

“You sure you’ll go with me?”

The others smiled softly at him “Harry we will follow you anywhere.”

The knock at the door came exactly three days later just as the letter had said. Harry poked his head out from the living room having been shooed away from the kitchen by Esme.

"Harry baby, you are too little to use the stove, you might burn yourself now run along and go play with your Uncle Emmett." She gently nudged him off and the boy just blinked at her for a second before heading off outside.

The Dursleys never seemed to care for his safety and he couldn't lie that he was surprised the Cullens had been different.

Harry shook his head and mumbled trying to banish the bad thoughts away. 

He placed his game controller down and followed behind Carlisle who opened the door. 

And there she was.

She was tall with dark skin and hair, her robes fell down to her feet and her wand was safley stored in her pocket. Her dark eyes scanned the room of vampires and the one wolf shifter before they fell on the mostly hidden figure of Harry himself.

”My Harry Potter I didn’t truly believe the news when we were notified of your interest in our school. I must say I’ve heard your legacy precedes you, it’s an honor to meet a wizard of your status. We unfortunately don’t have many like you here.” Her noice was smooth and sharp and Harry could see his old Transfiguration Professor in her.

“Not many like me?” He asked.

”Lords I mean, we don’t have many Pureblood lines here and some had been said to die out without an heir so when we get one it’s something we take pride in, Lord Heir Harry James Potter Black Cullen quite the mouthful isn’t it?”

Harry stood straight feeling every piece of his name press onto his shoulders like a weight and a crown.

”I am Professor Selena Harker,”she said, inclining her head. “Deputy Headmistress of Ilvermorny and Keeper of the Northern Rites and we little wixen have much to talk about.”

No one spoke.

Finally Bella, braver than most would give her credit for asked gently “Would you like to come in?”

She smiled at her as everyone headed into the living room.

“You must be feeling a lot of emotions Harry, to go and change your whole lifestyle in just a few weeks must be difficult.” She said softly as she gazed down at the boy.

“It feels like I have so much to live up to, a life I was born into but was almost stripped of it by someone I trusted.” Harry said softly as he looked down at his tea.

“Only the brave walk away from what they were told they must love and trust Harry.”

Harry nodded and a small part of him perked up at her words.

“School will begin on August 18th though with you we have let you come a bit eailer but no later then the 1st of September due to your current creature inheritance still in process and your status as a Lord, but do not take that for granted am I understood.” Selena's voice was hard and Harry quickly nodded in agreement.

Yes she was very similar to Professor McGonagall.

“What about his school things and clothes.” Asked Jasper who sat at the arm of the couvh next to Harry.

“Luckily most of our supplies do mirror Hogwarts so he won’t need to replace or buy very many supplies but I’ll give you a list just incase, as for clothes just like in England we have our uniforms you will arrive at school in black robes then be sorted into your house and you’ll receive your uniform based on what house you are in.”

”Will it be the same as Hogwarts every house to themselves.” Harry asked.

”Not exactly, we separate the  students more on their academic achievements and grade levels apart from what house they are in the dorms are all mixed except for the girls and boys of course, you do still get privileges and points for your house and have rivalries but everyone mixes together.”

”So it is a boarding school?” Jasper said holding Harry close remembering his son's experience at his last boarding school.

”Yes it is, we find it is best as most spells and magic are uncontrolable at this age of a wixens life. It's a safety measure but as I said due to Harry’s status adjustments can be made for certain times such as meetings and appearances he will need to be present for, in these cases he can stay home if he needs to.”

The coven sighed in relief though none of them really needed it. They did not want to send Harry off on his own so soon.

“Now here is the list of supplies you will need along with where to find the portal to the wizarding world, it’s right at the edge of Seattle you will need your wand to go in but you’ll make it. You will then be sent off by a port key to the edge of the school, you’ll have to travel up there after as their is no apportaion into the school but because you are a Lord you can leave the ground using your rings as the Goblins have told you, if need be I can ask the Headmistress to connect a floo network between your living space and the school. Now I must be going I have another student to meet with he’s also from England, a last minute transfer.”

With that Selena gave Jasper all of Harry’s things and was on her way.

Harry looked over at his family then smiled”So anyone down for shopping?”

Chapter Text

Harry sat in the back of his aunt Rose’s car just thinking about how he got to this point in life.

One moment everyone was wondering what his magic could do and the next he was picked up and plopped in the back of the car heading off to Seattle for a shopping trip.

He had clothes but aunt Alice said his clothes were not good enough.

“Why do I need seven jackets?” Harry asked, clutching the first one Alice handed him and kissed his head ignoring him.

“Now we need to get you shirts and pants.”

Harry sighed and followed behind her ignoring the pop music and bright lights above him.

A woman with shiny heels and sharper cheekbones greeted them.

“Hello is there anything I can help you with.” 

Alice nodded “Where do you have your best seasonal fashion.”

”Those would be in the back we also have some on display up front.”

Alice squealed as she picked up Harry who was trying to sneak away to find anywhere else to be at.

“Come on Harry you’ll look so cute in all these clothes then we will go find you shoes.”

Three hours later and Harry was now the proud owner of a master closets worth of clothes along with two racks of shoes. Alice said he still needed toys and things for his bedroom but all Harry wanted was a nap.

Truly if it looked good in Harry it was bought by someone ironically most of it came from Esme with Rose as a close second.

It hit him sometime between the second coat and the fifth shopping bag.

He stood still in the corner of the changing room, half-buttoned into a velvet-lined winter coat, and stared at his reflection.

This was the first time in his life someone had asked what he liked, well for the most part apparently he looked adorable in anything.

But these weren’t hand me downs, they weren’t bleached old clothes or clothes from a charity bin he was forced to wear when his cousin got perfectly good clothes all the time.

No these were new clothes, clothes people took time in picking for him because they thought he looked good in them.

In a way he supposed this was why he let himself be dressed like a doll.

“Harry?” Alice’s voice was soft on the other side of the curtain. “You okay in there?”

He cleared his throat and looked towards the door, his eyes were a bit watery.

”Um yes just making sure every fits.”

Soon they stopped at a cute little cafe right outside the shopping center. No one paid much attention to the family group with the little eleven year old secured safely between them.

Harry took a small bite out of his sandwich as Edward placed a cup of juice next to him.

”You doing all right” He asked sitting down next to his new nephew.

“I never…I never knew I had a family, let alone people who cared about me. I feel like I’m living someone else’s life.” Harry admitted as he looked down at the small box of apple juice.

Carlisle smiled softly and gently ran his fingers through Harry’s nest of hair.

”We will go slow but we are your fmaily now and you belong with us, you deserve to be happy.”

”And we will always spoil you because you’re a baby.” Said Rose as Harry puffed his cheeks in annoyance.

”I’m eleven.”

”And I am over one hundred so that makes you a baby.” Rosalie countered.

Emmett burst out laughing.

That night, Harry unpacked his things slowly.

He lined his new shoes beside the bed then moved them to the large closet once he realized he had far to many. 

Hung up the coats and shirts, folded the soft sweaters above his many pants and shorts. Placed a small tray on the dresser for his keepsakes from Hogwarts.

He placed his dad’s quidditch plaque right in the center with the photo album leaning against his lamp.

Carlisle had put in a mini fridge stocked with snacks and drinks for him to choose from.

Harry was almost certain it was because he was so sensitive about food and asking for food that Carlisle thought this would be a better option to boost his confidence and help Harry feel in control over his environment.

It was all still strange but less terrifying than it had been yesterday.

For the first time in his life he felt at ease, sure he was happy to be at Hogwarts when he was first introduced to it but this…

This was home or it would be his home even if they did move to Massachusetts for his school he still had…

He still had his family.

Harry climbed into his warm bed, his sheets red and soft. They had even managed to find a giant stuffed stag, he may have been a bit to old for stuffies but he still appreciated the sentiment from Renesmee and aunt Bella.

Looking over at his nightstand he smiled at the picture of him with his family and the other picture of him as a baby being held close by his father..or mother.

He wasn’t sure about name placements yet but none the less this was his family and he fell asleep he was slowly coming to realize that he truly belonged.

The house was quiet once again as Harry had gone to bed an hour ago curled under soft blankets and fluffy pillows. 

Everyone was off doing their own things while also keeping an ear out incase Harry had any sort of issue or nightmare and so far all they heard were his soft breaths and mumbles.

And Jasper sat on the balcony of the living room staring out into the endless trees with endless stars glowing above.

He remembered when he and James used to star gaze, they seemed so free back then.

Alice appeared behind him without a sound, the way she always did.

But tonight, she didn’t immediately sit beside him. She stood at the doorway for a moment just looking at him 

“You’ve been quiet.” she said softly.

“I’m trying to not mess this up, I never thought I’d ever be in this situation and I just…I want to be everything he needs and give him the life he deserves but..”Jasper started but was cut off by the other vampire.

“Hey parenting is hard especially when you didn’t prepare to be one I think so far your doing a good job.”

She finally came and sat beside him, tucking her legs under her body.

”Say it,” she said gently “Whatever’s weighing on you.”

Jasper let the silence hang a moment longer before speaking.

”Do you hate me..for what I did and what came after it.”

”You mean having a situation ship with a wizard then finding out you had a baby with him now your a dad.”

”Um yea I know we weren’t together at that point but now we are and things are different” Jasper rambled as Alice shook her head.

Alice didn’t answer right away.

She stared out at the trees, her small hands resting on her knees, fingers twitching like they were searching through time.

“It surprised me,” she admitted. “You don’t have many… loose threads in your past. Not ones you don’t talk about let alone get close to.”

Jasper nodded.

”I know after you left your old coven you shut yourself out in a way to others, even me to an extent and it took me a while to get you to open up to me then this wizard comes into your life and you melted it actually fascinated me.”

He nodded.

“I didn’t know,” Jasper said, voice rough. “I swear to you, Alice. I didn’t…”

She reached out and placed a hand over his causing the man to quiet down.

”Shh it’s okay you don’t need to apologize for this, I know you didn’t know because I know you and I know you would have gone after that little boy the moment you realized you had him just as you did when we found out he wasn’t James.”

Jasper finally looked at her then, his golden eyes searching her emotions for anything bitterness, jealousy, pain.

But he felt none of those.

“I don’t resent you or Harry or Jame.s”

“When I saw you with Harry, you barely knew him yet when he cried you held him, you rubbed his back and soothed him and watching you fall in love with your child reminded me why I fell in love with you” Alice held his face in her hands gently stroking his cheeks the same way she had done to Harry just hours earlier when he needed to be soothed.

Jasper’s throat tightened as he took her hands.

”You’re not second to anyone darlin’.”

Alice laughed softly and shook her head.

”We both know everyone is second to Harry, everyone is obsessed with him.”

She smiled again brighter this time.

”I love him to you know, when I look at him I see you” She said softly.

”Harry looks at us as if we might disappear one day and leave him behind, he needs all of us.”

They sat in silence for a long while after that, fingers laced, the stars wheeling slowly above them.

Harry laid in his bed down the hall hugging his stag close to his chest though it was bigger then his full sized bed you could barley see him.

“You ready for this” Jasper said softly. 

“Of course besides someone has to make sure he talks with other people besides Rose.”

Jasper chuckled softly as he leaned down and kissed her.

Chapter Text

The rain poured down through the forest as Alice zapped through the house picking up a wondering Harry who had just woken up still in pajamas and bare feet.

”Oh it’s going to be a perfect day” Alice said as Harry blinked owlishly at her. 

“But it’s raining” He mumbled trying to hide his morning yawn, his fangs poking out.

“Exactly my love, it’s the perfect day to play baseball.” She smiled settling Harry down.

Said boy tilted his head “Baseball, what’s that?”

Everyone looked over at Harry causing the boy to blink back at them in confusion. Emmett came over and pat his head.

“Don’t worry kid we will teach you everything.”

So that’s how Harry found himself dressed in a waterproof coat and a cute baseball cap. Jasper was sure he didn’t need the extra protection being part vampire but Esme didn’t want to take any chances of her grandson catching a cold.

“Wait so we’re going to play baseball… in a thunderstorm?”

Edward fixed up his hat and smiled down at him” You’ll see why now come on.”

Usually they would take the cars to the clearing in the forest but Carlisle wanted to see just how fast Harry could run.

Would he be able to keep up with them or would he be more like his cousin and run a bit slower.

“Alright kid ready to go, now remember Jasper is the enemy and no crying when I hit a home run and beat you.” Emmet smirked as Harry puffed his cheeks.

”I’ll beat you just wait and see.” Harry stated trying to look as big as he could but well, he was tiny.

“Alright you two come on.”Bella said as she gently nudged Harry along and off they when at full speed.

Edward being the fastest was up front trailed by Jasper and Esme while Harry followed behind everyone else running as fast as his legs could take him.

He was always able to outrun Doudley and his friends now knowing it was because of his vampire blood but running next to full vampires made him feel like a slug.

Carlisle took notes of it and smiled slowing down to keep pace with his grandson.

“You doing alright Harry?”

”All of you are so fast, I can’t go any faster but if I had my broom maybe I could.” The boy said as he jumped over a fallen log.

“Your broom?” Renesmee asked from his other side.

Harry nodded eagerly”Yeah my broom I use it to play quidditch and it goes super super fast.”The wind whipped past his face as the trees blurred by and Harry was living for it.

Then he heard it.

Thunder and lightning.

Alice squealed when they finally reached the clearing.

“Game on!” Alice cried, already vanishing to the outfield.

Everyone was in position with Emmett sending the ball flying, Rose running the bases, Edward trying to outsmart the game but kept getting outdone by Alice.

And Harry?

Harry stood by with Jasper just watching everything happen and soon it was his turn to hit the ball.

Carlisle smiled at him from the pitch.      

”Don’t worry Harry I’ll go easy on you.”

Harry smirked as he got ready” Don’t go easy on me I can handle it I’m young unlike Uncle Edward he’s like one thousand.”

Edward looked over from his base “Hey I am not that old.”

Harry smirked as the others tried not to laugh.

Then the game resumed.

Carlisle pitched.

Harry swung and the ball went soaring through the air.The ball vanished into the distance.

”GO HARRY!” Yelled Alice.

”RUN RUN RUN!” Exclaimed Emmett and Harry was off running though he didn’t get very far in that direction.

”THE OTHER WAY HARRY!” He heard Renesmee call.

Harry blushed and smiled quickly turning around and running off again, this time in the right direction.

Faster. Faster. The trees were colors now, not shapes. He didn’t look back and he didn’t look around. He didn’t even look forward. He was so in the moment of running he forgot about the game.

THWACK.

Harry groaned as he rubbed his head. It happened so fast, no one could have stopped it.

Harry ran straight into an old pine tree.

Not around it.

Straight into it and when Harry looked around he noticed he went right through.

Silence.

”Is he…?”

”Did he…?”

”Is he stuck?”

Harry was dangling half way through the trunk. His arms flailed in-front of him as he tried to reverse his way out then move forward again.

Everyone laughed and smiled as Jasper came over and gently took him out from the tree cleaning him off.

”Well at least we know you have hard skin.” He smirked as Harry sighed and laid his head on his dad’s chest.

He was not going to live this one down anytime soon.

Good thing Theo wasn’t here to make fun of him at least.

Chapter Text

Harry was rolling around in the grass with his uncle Emmett trying to wrestle him for the ball they had been playing with. 

“Ha got you” Emmett smirked playfully pinning his nephew to the mud causing the boy to squeal and laugh.

“No fair your bigger then me you have an unfair advantage.” Harry said trying to squeeze from under Emmett’s arms.

The rest of the coven was inside, a light mood spread throughout the house and they all knew it was because of Harry especially now that he was starting to loosen up around them.

It had only been a little over a week since he came to them but Carlisle had made an appointment with a healer for Harry.

He wanted to do the exam on his own but he knew little about a young wizards magical core and with Harry’s past he didn’t want to take any changes based on pride.

But for now all Harry had to do was look cute and sleep on the window nook warmed by the sun. That’s how they found out he was like his cousin and didn’t sparkle in the sun.

“Alright you two enough of that Harry needs to eat lunch.” Alice came and nudged the giggling boy inside.

”First a shower your all dirty.” Esme said and Harry smiled the headed off upstairs.

“You two spoil him a lot” Edward said coming in from the kitchen.

”He isn’t spoiled enough you mean besides who could say no to that cute little face” Rose responded as she walked in from the garage.

Edward sighed and shook his head as Carlisle came in from his office.

”Yea Jacob it’s fine I think I know what it’s about.” He said talking into the phone.

”Alright we will see you soon then.” With that the patriarch ended the call and everyone looked at him.

”What did Jacob want he usually doesn’t call and just shows up.” Bella asked sitting down on the couch next to Edward.

”It wasn’t Jacob that wanted to see us it was Billy.”

”Billy?” Jasper looked over from the stairwell listening to make sure Harry was doing alright.

”Yes apparently he wanted to talk about something but wouldn’t say what.” Everyone blinked and looked at each other.

Harry came down from his bedroom and looked around curiously” What’s going on?”

”Remember Jacob?” Asked Bella.

Harry nodded sitting down on the couch.

“He and his father are coming over Billy wants to talk.” Carlisle said and Harry nodded.

”What about?” 

“Im not sure yet Billy wouldn’t say.”

Soon enough the old pick up truck pulled up and Jacob got out of the car wheeling in Billy who nodded to Carlisle.

”Carlisle.”

”Evening Billy how can I help you with?”

“I’m here to see your grandson actually.” 

Everyone blinked and even Jacob looked down at Harry.

Jasper growled stepping in front of his confused son.”He will obey your boundary laws if that’s what your worried about.”

Billy scoffed” As if I could stop him from going into La Push.”

Jacob looked at him”What do you mean, as much as I tolerate the blood suckers the kid is also a vampire and he hasn’t  even been imprinted on by a wolf. ”

”Yes but he follows different laws don’t you Lord Heir Harry James Potter Black.”

Everyone froze and Harry stood up straighter. Jacob looked at both sides in confusion then down at his father.

”Dad what’s going on?”

Billy sighed and shook his head.

“Remember when I told you our family comes from England?”

“Yeah they left because of family drama or something.”

”They were wizards from an ancient house full of them, my grandfather was disowned and came here.”

”Okay so what does that have to do with the runt?” 

Rose growled at Jacob”Watch yourself flea bag.”

”Jacob that is not how you talk to or about your Head of House.”Billy scolded.

”My what?”

“He’s family”

”He’s what?”

Chapter Text

Everyone came into the house and Jacob was pacing around 

“Wait so your telling me…” He said pointing to Harry who was eating a yogurt” He’s like our boss or something”

Billy stared at him from his place by Carlisle” you don’t seem to mind hanging around vampires anymore”

”Thats different and he’s like nine”

”I’m eleven actually” Harry said softly and everyone looked at him instantly.

”Wait your eleven, but your so tiny” Said Rose as Harry quickly looked away.

”umm..” 

“It isn’t the time for that he’s a child landlord that has power over the entire pack” Jacob responded.

”Well not everyone. Just the Blacks and maybe the wolf shifters since their magic comes from me” Harry said playing with his spoon.

”…That’s literally most of the tribe”

”Jacob that’s enough”Billy said and said boy mumbled.

“He still watches Saturday morning cartoons and go shopping at toy stores” He mumbled and looked away but everyone heard him.

Harry broke that silence with his honesty.

”I wasn’t even allowed to watch any kind of telly and never got toys…didn’t get anything new actually except for bruises”

No one said anything and Jasper just stared at his son who was oblivious to everything as he focused on his snack.

Bruises…

Jasper looked to Edward and Carlisle and even Jacob stopped complaining.

Carlisle cleared his throat though everyone knew they would be speaking to Harry about his past later and you didn’t need jaspers gift to feel the tension in the room.

Billy spoke again” As I was saying, we decended from the Black branch but for whatever reason Ephraim was banished form the family and I’m not sure why”

Harry titled his head and hummed softly.

”Knowing how the Blacks are I am not surprised was Ephraim a wizard?”

”He was, I brought his wand in case you needed it” Said the chief handing over the old worn wand to the boy.

Harry took it gently and looked it over. The wand was clearly well used with small cracks and chips across its body and handle the old wood looked aged and dry.

” The Blacks were not a kind family I assume Ephraim was disowned and banished due to his lack of views within the house” 

“His lack of views?”Jacob asked

”The Blacks were what I’d describe as a very conservative pureblood family, heavy on traditions especially back in his time, my Godfather was disowned by his parents because he didn’t follow their pureblood values and supported those who weren’t pure such as werewolves, vampires and wixen from mixed backgrounds it’s only because of his own Head Of House, his grandfather that he wasn’t completely disowned so it isn’t shocking to me that Ephraim was also disowned for not following the values”Harry went on

Thanks to Theo he had a small spark of interest in the Black family and looks like all that reading was good for something after all.

“So what happens now” Jacob said trying to process everything he had just heard

Billy cleared his throat as he pulled out the parchment sent to him and handed it to Harry.

”I would like to ask for your pardon to rejoin the House Of Black i also realize that my son nor these vampires know the penalty for returning to the House of Black” Billy said and everyone stared at him.

”Dad what are you talking about” Jacob stood up from his chair as Harry remained silent.

Harry knew the penalty for such a request.

Billy had not told the tribe about the penalty knowing full well they would deny this meeting but Billy had to ensure the future of the tribe.

Edward had read Billy’s mind and took a step back.

”The penalty for this is a life…it’s death”

Jacob stared from his father to Harry then back to his father. He then growled at the young lord.

”You are not going to go with this I won’t let you”

”Jacob it’s for the best the tribe is out of control and the magic we had there is dying this is our only chance to ensure the packs survival who knows what will happen to you if this continues” Billy argued everyone ignoring Harry as he left the room to go get something from his bedroom but no one paid attention to him 

“You can’t be serious dad this is insane we can’t  just pick someone to die”

”We won’t have to because I already chose”

”What” Everyone said as the same time 

“I will take the penalty myself”

”WHAT” Jacob all but screeched and the vampires covered their ears 

“Jacob I lived a long life and I have to do what’s best for you and your sisters”

”My grandson won’t do it” Said Esme 

“He won’t have a choice it’s wixen law he cannot disobey it”

Harry came back in the room and looked around. Another paper was in his small hands along with a box and quill

Billy looked at him and ignored Jacob's ranting 

“Do you want my written statement of this agreement”

Harry looked at him and shook his head

”Mr Black no one is going to die today let alone face that penalty”

”Wait so your denying my dad's request now” Jacob accused as Harry shook his head again

”No you are all welcome back into the House of Black I do not require a death penalty especially for the innocent”

“But the laws..”

”The laws also say those with creature blood are not welcome in the family but yet I’m still very much Lord, those laws are old and cruel I think it’s time we set new traditions now who was the one who made a peace treaty between vampires and the pack”

“Ephraim“

”Ah that makes sense, in short the treaty is null and has no actual legal or any weight to it”

”What…so the vampires could just come in and your allowing them to come in” Jacob said as Harry stared at him

”You need to settle down or go outside to calm down and no I am not just letting them in, each document made by a member of the family using the family name has to get it signed by the Head of House and since Ephraim did use his given name he had to send it to his Head of House which he never did so that makes the document invalid”

”So they could reveal us and we could hunt on their grounds” Edward said 

“Yes”

”But why would Ephraim do that, why not tell the whole truth”

”How could he if his family wouldn’t accept it and he had to protect his tribe”Harry said 

“So what happens now then”

”Well when I came here MACUSA gave me a copy of the treaty so if your all still in agreement to the rules on it I can sign it and make it official and this will also help me with accepting you into the family again this includes your daughters and any other members of the family branch”

”This can’t be that easy what do you want in return” Jacob asked as Renesmee sighed and shook her head 

“All that I ask is that I come into the lands as I need to I need to also fix the wards no doubt that’s what causing your..furry situation”

”Your more then welcome on the lands though we couldn’t stop you either way” Billy said still in shock over everything 

“Alright thank you also how much do you know about the Black Family”

”I know some of the laws and I have the journals and records from Ephraim“

”I’d like to see them I really want to make sure I know what I’m doing and could use all the help I could get besides we already have Jacob here so I think we can call it even”

Billy nodded and took a deep breath out

The boy really was a lot like his grandfather.

He was great full for that, he could have forced his daughters to marry him for crying out loud. 

Edward raised an eyebrow at him for that last stammer 

“Alright so if everyone is in agreement I can sign this and make it official. The original copy will be destroyed by magic and replaced with this new one, I will also have a copy of it for my records” Harry said setting down the parchment so everyone could see the document then pulled out his ink and quill signing his full name on the parchment and stamping it with both the Potter and Black crests 

He would need to commission a new crest to make that process simpler 

Once finished he let everyone read the parchment one last time then tapped it with the tip of his wand sealing the agreement, it then made its own second copy which he handed to Billy 

“You know I thought Theo was going mental when he told me to read those Lordship books he got me but now I’m actually glad I read them”

”Wait you didn’t know your own laws” Jacob said 

Harry shook his head “Nope I was raised by muggles..well humans who hated magic and hated me then my Headmaster wanted me to go back to them after they hit me and starved me all the time, can you imagine the audacity”

Harry shook his head as he left to put away his supplies and put away the treaty which he would send to his vaults later.

”Carlisle is he..okay” Billy asked clearly seeing signs of abuse

“We are working with him he’s had a very unstable life I don’t think he’s processed the fact it was severe abuse”

”Yeah you need to get him checked out who knows what else is..wrong with him”

Yeah Harry really was in denial

Chapter Text

It was nearing nighttime by the Cullen house and Harry sat amongst the trees thinking to himself.

He was going to head to the Reservation in a few days to see what was wrong over there then next week his grandfather had scheduled him a meeting with a private healer, frankly Harry felt fine but his dad said he needed to talk to someone to help him process everything that has happened to him.

“All this stress is getting to me” Harry mumbled stretching out on the grass and closing his eyes. He sat up and looked around.

It felt colder but the sun was still out.

He looks up suddenly. The forest seems off like it got darker without the sun actually moving.

“Stupid. It’s just clouds.”

But it only gets colder as Harry’s nerves become stronger.A nearby bush rustles.

He quickly stood up and stared at it.

”who’s out there come out” The boy stared as the shadows from the trees seemed to grow bigger.

“Must be some sort of animal or the clouds” He reasoned then turned away to head inside not noticing how the shadows seemed to follow him then broke away once his emotions became stable again.

But it just kept happening.

Jasper came running into the room as Harry had called for help.

”Harry what is it” He asked noticing the boy standing by the couch.

”I can’t move”

”What do you mean you can’t move”

Harry whined as he tried to pick up his feet from the floor but as he said they wouldn’t move.

Jasper quickly went to him trying to pick up his legs as Harry ended up clinging to jaspers hair.

Harry whined as Jasper moved over pushing the couch on his way and that’s when Harry was finally set free. He clung to his father as Jasper checked the bottom of his feet for anything but besides dirt nothing was wrong.

Neither of them noticed Harry had been standing in the shadow of the couch.

Later that night Jasper stayed with Harry a bit longer in bed wondering if his stress was messing with his magic.

”I don’t know what’s going on” Jasper said sitting down with the rest of the family as Harry slept.

”I'm not sure either,Harry’s magic has been acting weird for a while and magic is already weird”Edward responded.

“The forest has been darker when he’s hunting or emotional” Esme said 

“I swear I felt his room get colder last night when I heard him having a nightmare” Alice put in, no one really knew what to do as no one knew how to handle wixen magic.

”Maybe it’s everything going on around him I mean a lots happened in just a little over two weeks, can’t imagine the stress he’s under” Bella said softly and everyone nodded.

”He’s just a little kid” said Emmett plopping down next to Rose.

”we will keep an eye on him and see if anything changes, he has an appointment with a new healer next week but I’ll see about moving it up sooner” Carlisle said pulling out his notebook to write himself a reminder.

”What if it’s something serious” Jasper questioned pacing around the living room. 
“We will figure this out Jasper Harry has been through a lot and maybe this is just him letting out stress”

”This seems like it’s stressing him out even more”

”He’s just afraid of what’s happening, can’t blame him he has never experienced something like this none of us have”

Esme hummed softly” We may also need to reassure him some more, make him feel safer here”

”I wish we knew more about wixen then maybe we would know more” Jasper complained.

”We all went through Harry’s wizard textbooks and none of them say anything about little kids being stuck to floors” arose said

“We will just have to wait. And see how things go” 

Jasper hoped Carlisle was right or he would be looking into every library In all Washington and beyond if he had to.

Chapter Text

Harry panted heavily as he rolled around in his bed the stag plushie all but pushed onto the ground. The dreams had come again but this time instead of him being trapped in that chamber with Voldemort he was surrounded by shadows and darkness.

He kept running and running calling for someone..anyone to help him but no one came and the darkness got closer biting at his bare feet.

And then, worst of all, a whisper in the back of his mind

"You're not normal. Not wizard, not vampire. Not anything. He'll leave you now. Just like they all did so what makes you so special”

”Your just a freak”

Harry gasped as one of the shadows grabbed his small ankle yanking him down onto the ground. He curled into himself while the darkness came closer.

”He won’t leave, he promised he would always be there with me”

”And you were also told your relatives were blood but people lie”

“They will abandon you to because your nothing”

”Harry”

”Nothing”

”Harry” 

“They will leave you”

”Harry”

”Like you deserve”

”HARRY”

His eyes snapped open as his head banged against something hard.

Someone's chest

Harry looked up seeing Jasper holding him close. He immediately snuggled into him letting out his sobs.

The vampire held him close and rubbed his back gently.

"Harry, look at me, son."

Harry jerked upright, eyes wide and wild, chest heaving with panic that hadn’t yet faded. His hair stuck to his forehead.The scream he hadn't quite let out was still stuck in his throat.

He blinked. "J…Jasper?"

Jasper smiled softly as he moved Harry’s fringe from his face.

”It’s alright Harry everything is going to be okay” He sat right at the side of Harry’s bed as Harry himself had twisted to reach him when he had woken up.

“I…I had a bad dream” He whispered softly laying his head on the man’s shoulder.

”Do you want to talk about it”

Harry was surprised at his words. No one ever really wanted to hear his problems.

”it was dark and cold, I was running but I wouldn’t go anywhere then the voices came”

”The voices”

”I kept hearing voices”

Jasper stared at him for a second then rubbed his head.

”What did they say Harry”

”That I’m not enough, I’m nothing and you’ll leave me especially after yesterday”

Jasper looked down at his son and sighed softly. He was really bad at consoling people but he had to try for his sons sake.

”Harry you are not a burden and you are not sometime to be feared”

”But yesterday with the shadows…”

”Harry do you remember when we talked about some vampires having gifts”

The boy thought for a moment then nodded his head.

”You think I have a gift”

”It’s possible, we don’t know exactly the extent of magic or what magic allows for someone to do but it is very possible your manifesting a gift, Carlisle has a friend that will be coming tomorrow to help us figure it out alright but you belong here and I will never leave you alone”

Harrys eyes watered then he wrapped his arms around Jasper as the man smiled softly and held him close.

Harry swallowed hard, looking away. “So I’m a freak.”

“No,” Jasper said, firm now. “You’re not.”

“But I feel like one,” Harry snapped, fists tightening. “Every time it happens, I get scared. I feel like I’m going to lose control. Like I'm going to hurt someone. Like you’ll see that I’m some unstable monster and…”

He stopped. Choked on the words.

"and you’ll leave."

Silence fell like a stone between them.

”Harry listen to me, I will never leave you, I may not know exactly how to be everything you need and I may never understand you fully but you are my son, you are James’ your our son and I will do everything I have to in order to keep you safe and happy”

Harry sucked in a breath as jaspers words washed over him. He felt calm, warmth, safety, loved, so strong it made his chest ache.

“But what if my gift is something I can’t control”

”Then we will all band together to help you learn how to use it”

Harry leaned into him before he even realized it, burying his face in Jasper’s chest. The scent of old leather and pine and faint copper grounded him like nothing else. Jasper held him close, humming softly while he rubbed his sins back.

The next day everyone was in the living room, Harry had been somewhat quiet still shaken up from his nightmare the night before. He sat beside Jasper on the couch snuggled into his side.

The rest of the Cullens were scattered around the room. Everyone turned their head when Carlisle came in followed behind by another vampire.

”Everyone you remember Eleazar” Carlisle introduced and everyone nodded.

”Harry this is Eleazar he is an old friend of mine and has helped us in the past with your cousin”

”Hello” Responded the boy poking his head out from over his fathers shoulder.

The newcomer chuckled softly turning his head to get a better look at the boy.

”I didn’t want to believe you when you told me you had another immortal hybrid and one with magic at that, Carlisle you never stop surprising me”

“Trust me they were not on my bingo card”

Eleazar went over to Harry and looked at him for a second” I have heard stories about wixen from the Volturi and stories of you”

Harry looked up at him and blinked, his face a mixture of confusion and curiously.

”The Volturi know about us?” 

Carlisle was the one to respond to that.

“Yes I don’t know the exact specifics as the Volturi are very prideful and don’t like to know something is stronger then them but long ago a peace treaty was made for human turned vampires freedom”

”Human turned vampires?” Harry tilted his head

”I assume you know of the vampires that live in your world?”

Harry nodded his head.

”Well those are essentially magical vampires, vampires that were either born in the magical world or were once wixen such as yourself, now the Volturi and many of us are human turned vampires, we do not have a magical core or at the very least we were descended from squibs”

”What’s a squib?” Asked Renemsee

”A squib is a child born to magical parents but they themselves do not have magic. Our caretaker at Hogwarts was a squib” Harry answered 

“But what does this have to do with the Volturi” Edward asked

”Well all creatures are under law in the magical world but the Volturi argued that since they were once human they should not need to conform to those laws and so the magical world stitch them a deal they would let the Volturi govern the human turned vampires but even they are still on a very loose leash this is why they are so strict with their laws if they step out of line the wixen can go back on this settlement”

Everyone stared at Carlisle as Eleazar chuckled.

”maybe you should have eased them more into it Carlisle”

Said man looked down at his grandson who was frozen.

”Maybe your right”

”Well enough about them let’s talk about you Harry” Eleazar grabbed a chair and sat down in front of the eleven year old.

”Me, What’s so special about me?”

”Well for starters usually with vampires when they pair with each other they get both sets of traits from their parents but you don’t have the same bloodlust and a gift, your more in control of yourself then a regular hybrid this makes you unique and special”

Carlisle nodded his head

“Eleazar is correct, the biggest downfall of magical vampires is that they cannot go out into sunlight and when it comes to  hybrids they have to use charms or else they will also burn in the sun while vampires like us can be out in the sun we sparkle and have less power and energy then they do but you my grandson have none of these set backs

”Not to mention most magical vampires can’t even use wands since their core is burned out from the venom” Eleazar finished 

Harry stared slack jawed at everyone his emotions all over the place.

”So their are wizard vampire hybrids but none like Harry” Jasper asked

Carlisle nodded” mhm he’s one of a kind especially with being so in control of himself that doesn’t happen often with vampires of any kind and he’s still very much capable of magic our Harry is truly his own breed” 

Their was a cold aura around the living room and Harry snuggled deeper into his fathers side even though he was theoretically just as cold.

Eleazar hummed softly and smiled”So now for why I’m really here for”

Eleazar knelt slightly, eye level with Harry, but not too close. “May I ask you something?”

Harry blinked. “Okay.”

“Do you feel your emotions effecting the world around you?”

Harry nodded “When I get scared it gets colder sometimes I feel like I’m…”

”Being surrounded by shadows”

A flicker of unease passed through the room. The lights overhead dimmed slightly.

Harry tensed. “I…I don’t mean to. I try not to.”

Instinctively, Jasper’s hand found Harry’s shoulder and the boy somewhat calmed down, weather it was his fathers gift or just the fact he was being comforted by him was up for debate.

Eleazar smiled kindly. “I believe you. And it’s not a bad thing, you have a gift Harry. One I never seen before.”

“We thought it was some sort of uncontrolled magic at first but then according to Harry’s own books so such spell exists so then we went and thought it was a gift”Carlisle said.

Harry’s eyes sparkled as he moved a bit away from Jasper “So I’m like Jasper and uncle Edward and aunt Alice and..and..”

Harry was so excited you didn’t even need jaspers gift to realize it.

Eleazar smiled at him. Carlisle was right, his grandson really was adorable.

“Your gift is called Umbrakinesis the ability to sense, shape, and control shadows.”

“It doesn’t feel like I have control over it” Harry titled his head.

Eleazar chuckled softly”You’ll learn how to use it this gift is a very powerful one if used correctly you can hide and attack any opponent it’s both a defensive and attacking gift you’d be amazing once your power is controlled”

The others stayed quiet, letting the moment breathe. They knew what Eleazar was insinuating, Harry’s gift with magic mixed in and his vampire abilities…

Harry would and could be a lethal weapon possibly even unstoppable if set up in the right environment.

Alice grinned softly. “Told you he was special.”

Emmett chuckled. “A shadow mage kid with vampire DNA. That’s something you don’t see everyday”

“It makes sense,” Carlisle said thoughtfully. “Harry’s ability is rooted in emotion. It resonates with the kind of empathy Jasper has.”

His past sure didn’t help things but no one said that out loud.

Harry looked up at Jasper, uncertainty flickering in his eyes.

“Do you…” He hesitated. “Do you still want me?”

Jasper didn’t hesitate. He leaned in and said clearly, for everyone to hear“ Of course I want you just as I said last night you are my son and there is nothing that can happen that will change my mind” 

The shadows in the corners of the room pulsed once… then softened.

Harry exhaled, a small smile touching his lips. He didn’t know everything about what was happening to him but he know came to accept that he wasn’t alone anymore.

He couldn’t wait to write to Theo about this and hopefully he will see him sometime soon.

Chapter Text

Rain tapped gently on the windows as Harry was currently balancing his wand on his nose and sitting cross-legged on the pristine white couch in the Cullen's living room. It had been a few days since Eleazar had come and after some more explanations in his gift the vampire had headed back home and Harry had somewhat started to practice with controlling his gift but well…he kept getting distracted.

He had been sending letters to Theo using the mailing system in Seattle to send them.

"Harry," Alice called, gliding into the room with her usual eerie grace. "There’s an owl at the window and your uncle is eyeing it like food”

Harry quickly got off the couch and headed over to the kitchen. There sitting right on the dining room table was a large brown owl and on it’s leg was a letter.

Harry took the letter and let the bird thanking it as it flew off.

He tore it open immediately, hands trembling with excitement. Inside was a single, crisp parchment.

Head of Magical Creature Intake and Migration

Harry smiled brightly as he waved the letter around” Hedwig is a free owl!”

”We are going to Seattle for a bird”Asked Rosalie

“She’s not just an owl Aunt Rosie she’s my friend possibly the only one who knows me the best of all and she was my very very first friend” Harry said as he ran off to put on his shoes.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn’t hope for Harry’s mind healers appointment to come any sooner. The sound of the cars horn snapped them out of their thoughts.

Harry was already in the car.

”Come on guys before it gets to dark”Was his reply.

“That bird better not poop in the house” Edward mumbled grabbing the keys and heading outside, the others followed right behind him.

It wasn't until they were about half way there that Harry dropped a bombshell.

”Um Uncle Edward”

”Yes Harry”

”….I forgot my wand” 

Everyone groaned softly as Harry looked out the window of the car.

At least Harry was cute.

Once they reached Seattle Harry grew more anxious.

“I’ve never been to any other magical city apart from Diagon Alley “

”We never went here either it will be an experience for all of us” Jasper said pulling Harry into his side.

“It’s called the Wampus Ward,” Harry said. “At least, that’s what it says in the pamphlet MACUSA sent.“

The Cullens parked a block from what looked like an old, abandoned warehouse building in Seattles Lower East Side. The place was crumbling, with boarded-up windows and faded graffiti no sign of magic to be seen.

“This is it,” Harry said, clutching the MACUSA letter.

Alice tilted her head at the building      ”You sure Harry”

The boy nodded as he stepped up to the front” Yeah wixen like to keep our world hidden from anyone outside of it so we use spells and enchantments to hide ourselves”

”Why hide yourselves like this though, it seems like a lot” Edward asked

Harry hummed as he grabbed his wand” The witch trials almost took out our entire species just from the fear alone it’s also one of the reasons why the male career gene was created”

Everyone turned to look at Carlisle after Harry’s explanation who in turn looked away.

“Only magical beings can see the real entrance,” Harry explained. “Everyone else just walks past.”

He tapped the tip of his wand onto the boards and the door appeared. Everyone looked on in amazement.

As soon as he touched the doorknob, the illusion shimmered and dropped. The buildings transformed into a towering Art Deco skyscraper with golden dragon sculptures curled around the corners. At the top, letters carved into obsidian stone

Magical Congress of the United States of America

“To think this whole thing has been here all along and no one has known about it”Esme said softly.

The inside was even more stunning, an enormous atrium stretched hundreds of feet into the air, with floating lanterns shaped like mythical beasts circling overhead. Wizards in sleek, formal robes bustled across bridges made of glass and magical light. Gold phoenixes carved into the floor shifted positions when no one was looking.

A stern-looking witch in a deep navy cloak approached, wand in hand.

“Names and magical affiliation?”

Harry stepped forward, presenting the

letter, his wand also presented to the witch. “I’m Harry Potter. I’m here to retrieve my owl, Hedwig.”

The witch raised an eyebrow. “The Harry Potter?”

Harry blinked and nodded slowly, his hair moved to the side a bit revealing his scar. The witches eyes widened slightly as she cleared her throat.

”Good to see you Lord Heir Potter Black please follow me to the creature intake level”

The elevator ride down felt like falling through time. The walls turned from gleaming brass to deep stone, carved with magical runes and protective charms. When the doors opened, they stepped into a warm, softly lit space filled with magical creatures in containment pens, phoenixes, thunderbirds, even a cranky-looking knarl in a cage.

Everyone looked around at each creature but Harry was only focused on getting his owl back.

Then Harry saw her.

“Hedwig!”

She was perched on a brass stand, fluffed up and glaring at a MACUSA wizard trying to feed her a dead mouse. She always did prefer live food and Harry had the unfortunate experience to have learned that the hard way.

She hooted angrily when she saw Harry and flew straight at him, wings spread wide.

He caught her easily, hugging her against his chest. “I missed you so much.”

”She wouldn’t take food from anyone” Said the worker as he came up to the group.

Harry smiled softly”I’m sorry about her she’s…feisty and only likes live food or to hunt on her own…my fingers and hands bare the scars of her tastes, Hedwig you weren't being disrespectful and rude we’re you”

Said owl just chirped in his arms as she climbed into his shoulder nipping at his hair.

”She was perfectly fine we have our fair share of creatures with strong personalities, it keeps the job entertaining”

Carlisle came up to Harry and smiled as Hedwig just stared at everyone.

”Everyone this is Hedwig my owl Hedwig this is our family so be nice and polite” Said owl puffed up her chest as she nipped at her wizards fingers.

”She is quite beautiful” Esme smiled watching the owl hoot loving the praise.

You'd think Hedwig was a reincarnation of Draco Malfoy with her personality.

“I’m surprised she isn’t afraid of us” Jasper responded.

”I think you’d be more afraid of her” Harry smiled up at them.

As they prepared to head back up, the MACUSA escort stopped them.

“Would you like to see more of the magical city? I assume you’ll be attending Ilvermorny and need a bunch of different robes”

Harry nodded and looked over to his family. “Can we?”

Alice’s eyes sparkled “Oh we can go shopping I’ve never been to a place like this”

Harry smiled brightly then hummed in thought”But I wouldn’t know where to start this place is huge and we will have to go to the bank…”

A soft chuckle caught everyone’s attention. Looking over towards the door was another wizard with his own Eagle Owl perched regally at his shoulder.

Harrys eyes sparkled once he recognized him and Jasper raised an eyebrow feeling Harry’s emotions skyrocket 

Happiness, longing and pure joy

”Theo”

Theo smirked at Harry as he walked up to him.

”Does his highness need his faithful servant to play tour guide”

Chapter Text

Everyone walked the two eleven year olds talk and it seemed like Harry forgot he had company as all his attention was on this Theo guy.

Everyone looked over at Jasper who had a weird look on his face.

”So Harry who’s your friend” Asked Emmett going up to the two wixen and scooping his nephew into his arms 

Harry giggled as he playfully pushed Emmett away from him “Put me down your embarrassing meee” 

Theo smirked at him and raised an eyebrow”Awe look at you not so cool how are you”

”You hush everyone this is Theodore Nott he’s…a friend of mine from back in England, Theo you know my grandpa Carlisle, Aunt Alice and Jasper. There is also Aunt Rose, Aunt Bella, Grandma Esme, my cousin Renesmee and my Uncles Edward and Emmett and Jacob Black he’s Renesmees boyfriend…yuck bet they kiss”

The coven chuckled softly at that as Renesmee and Jacob rolled their eyes.

”Well it’s very nice to meet you Theodore” Esme responded 

“Please call me Theo” the boy said and Harry was finally let down from Emmett’s arms.

“Theo what exactly are you doing here shouldn’t you be getting ready to go to Hogwarts”

Theo smirked leaning back on the wall” Well funny story my father pulled me out of Hogwarts”

Harry blinked at him

”Excuse me he what”

”Yeah you know how that whole mess with the stone and Dumbledore wanting you to stay in that abusive home…everyone knows about that by the way, well my father felt that it wasn’t safe for his only heir to be in such a dangerous environment and well here I am”

Everyone just stared at Theo for a second then Carlisle was the first to speak.

”How many people know”

”People know Harry was taken away by his biological father and that James was a gene career they do not know your vampires, at least the public doesn’t know that yet as Dumbledore has been trying to fan the flames over the fact he let a lord heir be abused and mistreated by humans and wasn’t given his due processes upon the death of James”

”The wizarding world knows about that”

”Yes I’m sure news will reach here soon enough but MACUSA will shield you but I have other news”

”Oh what else did you bring “ Harry teased

Theo hummed softly”It’s about your Godfather”

”My Godfather. The one who’s been in prison for my parents murder”

Theo hummed and pointed his head to a nearby office. Everyone followed behind him as Edward shut the door behind them.

”Theo what’s going on” Asked Jasper sitting on a chair beside Harry 

“Apparently Sirius Black never received a trial and get this, I was looking into the processes of legitimatization and it isn’t an easy ritual to do”

”How does the ritual work” Carlisle asked as Theo sat down alongside everyone else.

“First off legitimatization is to magically affirm and legitimize a wizard's bloodline and right to claim a family name, inheritance, or magical lineage. As we know Harry comes from a pureblood bloodline but Jasper is a vampire this would have made Harry a half blood with a creature inheritance as we know so Sirius Black Harry’s Godfather and the lord of the House Of Black made a blood ritual with Harry and James this gave Harry Sirius’ blood making him a pureblood with a creature inheritance and thus allows Harry to function and live as a regular wizard”

”So like a blood adoption” Carlisle asked

”Similar yes except Sirius didn’t give Harry enough of his blood to erase jaspers blood from him but in legal standpoints you are Sirius’ son, the politics of this is very complicated”

”But why does something like this exist” Bella asked

”It’s to keep the pureblood families pure and to make sure they are secured, with most of the time a male heir. If a lord has a wife who only gave him daughters and he either has a nephew, male cousin, grandson or even a son from a mistress this allows him to pass on his title to that child. It does complicate things when creature blood is concerned but Harry was accepted by both his families so in that sense the wizarding world itself has no right to take his lordships from him”

”That’s why James did that to Harry, his rights would be stripped” Esme asked

Theo nodded softly” If Harry was challenged by another of the same bloodline yes it could happen the British ministry is very backwards in that regard..and many others but Harry is by all rights Sirius legitimate heir”

”Would this effect him here” Questioned Carlisle taking Harry’s small hand into his own

”Only if someone challenges him for the lordship as an heir can it be done but for the most part no, so if another wizard from the Black family opposes Harry their might be a case but Harry can fight it as Sirius’ “son” and as lord Potter along with the laws here in America”

”What happens if he is challenged”

”Usually it’s a domestic affair between the two sides it very rarely goes to court but a vote will be made between the existing members of the house and the one who wins gets the title, sometimes the two will duel for the title but that’s more old school and has fazed out in favor of the legitimatization laws” 

“How many other Blacks are out there” Jacob asked now becoming interested in the family drama

“Three witches and a wizard not including Sirius himself”

”The Malfoys” Harry said

Theo nodded” Yes Draco could try to claim the lordship but he is not only from a female line but he is Sirius’ second cousin you have the upper hand not to mention your name Carrie’s value”

”Who else is there”

”Draco’s mother and her two sisters one of which was disowned”

”Andromeda”

”You know her”

”I have seen her name in the portfolios she has a daughter I am going to invite them back into the family”

Thei nodded” she was disowned for falling in love with a muggleborn”

”While this is all honestly wild to hear what does this have to do with Sirius” Jacob asked

”Well the ritual used for Harry takes up to a year for it to be completed and it was completed”

”A year!”

Theo nodded his head “Now Sirius never got a trial as we know Dumbledore being Chief Warlock had the power to give one to him and why would Sirius who saw James as a brother, spend a year of his life giving his own magic and blood to a baby only to betray his only family”

”You think something else was going on” Rose said pulling Harry close to her 

“The Potters had a secret keeper, that’s someone who has the location of the wizard who’s in hiding only that person can tell you where they are but wouldn’t it have been obvious to pick Sirius as the Potters secret keeper”

”you think someone else sold them out” 

“I do, Harry do you know some people named Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew ”

Harry thought for a second “oh yes in my photo album they were listed with my dad”

”I asked my father about the Potters since he went to school with them he said those four had a school gang”

Jasper perked up at this” Yes James mentioned his three best friends were with him during the war they were…animagious except for Remus who was a werewolf”

”So he’s like Jacob” Asked Edward 

“Like Jacob?” Questioned Theo 

“Jacob is a wolf shifter I think it’s leftover magic from the squib line but no werewolves and wolf shifters are different, a wolf shifter can turn at anytime while werewolves only change during a full moon”

”Get this Harry the night your parents died it was a full moon Remus couldn’t have been there and he was very close with James. After their deaths he went into a deep depression and the only thing keeping him going was knowing you were alive. He found out about your home life and he’s been livid ever since”

”Why didn’t he come see Harry before hand if he cared so much” Alice mumbled

”you know the laws with creatures in England they didn’t allow Remus to take Harry but also Remus has come out and said Dumbledore had been telling him you didn’t want to see him and that you were very much happy with your aunt and uncle, he even showed letters you supposedly wrote to him telling him to stay away”

“I never even heard of him before I got the photo album” Harry stated sitting up on his chair.

”Exactly and to let you know he’s heading this way as we speak and you could also demand a trial for Sirius as well”

Harry gaped at him and everyone else stayed silent 

Chapter Text

The magical world of the Wampus Ward was alive with moment. Their was so much to see no one knew exactly where to start looking.

Beneath a shimmering sky of floating candles and illusion charms, the cobbled street bustled with witches, wizards, and many different types of creatures. Shopfronts gleamed with moving displays of wands sparking behind glass, enchanted snow globes replaying famous duels, and potion bottles that whispered their ingredients when you leaned too close.

Harry stood in the center of it all, wide-eyed, with Hedwig perched proudly on his shoulder. His family and Theo surrounding him as he ran from this shop to the next.

”Oh Theo come look” Called the hybrid and said boy walked over to him. Harry stood in front of a window looking at the newest broom available 

“I remember when you started playing quidditch for Gryffindor no other house was able to stand a chance against you or your broom”

Harry chuckled and blushed looking away from his friend”I wasn’t that good thee”

Theo blinked at the nickname then smirked softly”Well you were the youngest seeker at the school and went undefeated I think that’s quite impressive”

Jasper watched the two of them and blinked as their emotions hit him like a truck” Theo was happy and content and Harry..Harry was embarrassed and happy.

And was that…fondness from Theo 

Jasper looked over at his family who were watching with interest as the two kids talked..well Harry talked and Theo just listened.

Alice was the one to bring the two back to attention.

“Do all your magical shops look like this?” Alice whispered, turning a full circle as she watched a mannequin demonstrate broom tricks and flips.

“Mostly,” Theo replied dryly. “Though this place is definitely more...social”

”Social?” Questioned Jacob turning his head over from a window containing owls 

“England is a lot more serious about things while here it feels more like a community” Harry answered going back to jaspers side 

Harry turned to Theo, grinning. “So... you want the full story about everything’ that’s happened?”

Theo smirked at him” naturally besides we have to walk all the way to the robe shop we need robes for school and you also need them for the ministry”

Harry sighed following behind his friend”Don’t remind me”

They slipped away from the others, ducking between the coven members and others around them all the while Harry went on and on about everything that had happened the past two weeks. Theo listened without interrupting, fingers wrapped around a butter beer mug.

”Then grandpa brought his friend who was able to find out I had a gift. I have umbrakenisis it’s so cool but I have to learn how to control it”

”You can travel through shadows” Theo questioned looking over to him

”According to Eleazar I can control them and attack people with them as well”

”My aren’t you full of surprises” Theo smiled at Harry who quickly looked away 

“For what it’s worth I’m happy for you I know you were always alone back home” Theo said softly and Harry smiled up at him 

The rest of the coven had been following them and they all felt like the third wheels that was Theo and Harry’s bicycle

“You seem... lighter,” Theo said carefully. “Like you’re finally not waiting for the next disaster.”

“I’m not,” Harry said. “For the first time... I think I’m actually allowed to just be a kid.”

Theo raised his mug. “Here’s to that.”

By the next hour Harry had a new wand holster, a bag full of magical books, and a smile that wouldn’t leave his face.

The family stood together on the edge of the Wampus Ward, the magic shimmering around them like sunlight on water. MACUSA agents nodded politely as they passed, and one or two even gave Harry curious glances but none stopped him.

”you ready for the robes” Asked Edward as they neared the shop.

Harry nodded and smiled”Yeah me and Theo are getting new ones for the school year”

”Well best head in them” Theo said looking up at the building then seeing the sign for the shop.

“Robe shopping,” Theo muttered, eyeing the gilded sign swinging overhead.

Featherstone’s Finery – Custom Robes & Magical Uniforms Since 1693

Harry grinned, pulling him toward the shop. “You didn’t have to transfer, you know.”

“Technically, I didn’t,” Theo said with a shrug. “But I didn’t like the idea of you wandering around some distant school of magic with no one competent to keep you out of trouble.”

“What’s that supposed to mean” The smaller boy looked over to his friend

“Well first off you have the attention span of a peeled grape and second you tend to go places and do things you shouldn’t be doing”

“You mean, no one cynical enough to stop me from doing stupid things,” Harry corrected with a grin.

Theo rolled his eyes and shook his head “I’d his highness needs to tell himself that to make himself feel better then who am I to stop him”

Harry ignored him pulling him into the robe shop while everyone else either followed behind or got distracted by other things.

The inside of the shop was charming chaos, floating measuring tapes zipped between fitting rooms, bolts of fabric hovered mid-air, and enchanted pins stitched hems without anyone holding them. A squat witch with periwinkle glasses looked up from a pile of amethyst velvet.

“Ilvermorny robes dears?” she called, already waving a tape measure toward them.

The two wixen nodded and were ushered into some stools, the two couldn’t help feel like that were back at Madam Malkin’s

”My friend here also needs ministry robes and really all types of robes” Theo asked as Harry nodded.

”Of course darings I’ll have those up and ready with your school robes” she said briskly, and the two boys found themselves herded onto a raised platform after being measured.

”Your robes will be made and delivered to your homes in a wells time, now all school robes are the same but once you are sorted into your house an emblem will magically appear on the back of your robe” 

“That will be wonderful thank you” Theo said, holding still as a set of scissors circled his legs.

”I read that the school has four houses” Asked Harry pulling his arms out as the tape measure landed on his sides.

The seamstress laughed. “Well, let’s see... Thunderbird for adventurers, Horned Serpent for scholars, Pukwudgie for healers, Wampus for warriors. Any leanings?”

“Theo you’d definitely be in the Horned Serpent Harry smiled as Theo hummed softly 

“You will probably end up in Thunderbird with your track record”

Once finished the two fixed themselves up and headed to the register

”You write the amount you pay for on your booklet then you sign it and it gets taken to the bank”Theo explained watching Harry fumble about with his check book.

It was given to him by the bank once he assumed his titles as a lord paid for his things with a check. It was more distinguished as he was told and a lot simpler.

Harry thanked his friend and smiled handing the paper to the shop keeper who thanked them waving as they left through the door.

The two met up with the others as Harry slid between his father and Alice.

”You got everything Harry”Jasper asked ruffling his sons hair.

”Yeah my robes will be delivered to the house”

”Well I guess this is where I leave you at least for now” Theo came over as Harry frowned.

“Where are you staying thee?”

”Don't you worry for pretty little head your highness I have a town house just outside forks that I’m staying with”

”Will you be alone?”

The others looked on and blinked. Theo was left alone but he was twelve.

”No no I’m with the house elves and my father said he would be dropping by soon” Jasper raised an eyebrow sensing Theo's emotions.

 He was giving off guilt and anxiety. 

Was Theo lying about not being alone?

Jasper remembered the boy had a similar response when Harry had asked him why he was in the states.

”Speaking of house elves have you called yours yet” Jasper was snapped out of his head and Harry blinked

”I have house elves”

Theo blinked at Harry and shook his head”Yes they will be labeled in your family portfolios you simply call their names and they will appear to you”

”Wait what’s a house elf” Asked Emmett coming out from a creature sweets shop with a bag of candy.

Blood pops and a lot of them.

”House elves are essentially servants, they are magically bound to the family they serve and have a strong loyalty to their masters”Theo explained 

Everyone looked at him then at Harry.

”It’s deeply rooted in history house elves survive off the magic of wix and in return they served the wix”Harry summarized 

“A symbiotic relationship” Esme asked

”Yes though some wizarding families…see themselves as better then their elves” Theo mumbled softly thinking of his own father.

In a way Theo had been raised exclusively by house elves especially after the death of his mother so he had a large respect for them.

”Well j must be off then send me a letter will you Potter wouldn’t want to miss the chaos you will surely bring”Theo smirked

Harry grinned. “You’re the best snake friend I’ve ever had.”

Theo smirked. “You’re the least annoying Gryffindor I’ve ever tolerated.”

”I’ll write to you about the runes on the reserve you sure you want to come with me” Harry questioned again for the filth time

“Yes Harry I’ll go with you besides it’s best to do those runes with two people especially as they are blood wards” 

Harry nodded and waved watching Theo leave through one of the floo networks

”Snake friend Harry” Questioned Edward as he looked down at his nephew 

“Yeah he was in Slytherin house and I was in Gryffindor we were natural enemies though I do suppose I was destined to meet one, after all I can talk to snakes” Harry reasoned smiling as he walked on ahead

”Wait you can what” Jasper snapped his head towards his son 

Later that night Harry yawned and snuggled into his bed, his plush stag right by his side taking up most of his large bed. Jasper came in and smiled sitting down at his sons feet.

”Long day huh”

Harry nodded and smiled curling up under the soft, warm blanket Esme had knitted for him.

“Yeah I also really liked seeing Theo again…I talk and send letters to my other friends but Theo has been with me through this whole vampire thing” Harry said softly as Jasper nodded

”He sure is…knowledgeable about a lot of things” 

“Yeah Theo is super smart and he knows everything about the wizarding world”

 Jasper hummed softly gently tucking in Harry’s blanket under his chin” Well I’m glad you have somone like that in your corner”

With that the man turned off Harry’s sighed and headed to the door. Before he made it all the way through a small tiny voice stopped him.

”I love you dad” Harry murmured slowly drifting off to sleep

Jasper smiled brightly and he knew everyone in the house had heard his son. Maybe he was doing a decent job at this after all. He just hoped he was caring for Harry the way James would have wanted him to.

Chapter Text

“I don’t like him “

Jasper stopped at the edge of the stairs. He had just come down from putting Harry to bed and hearing him calling him dad for the first time.

Was this how Edward felt when he had his daughter.

”So Rose hates who now” Jasper asked as he sat down by Alice.

“She’s just jealous that Theo got all of Harry’s attention and she’s mad that she will have to share her precious baby with someone else” Emmett said and Rose glared at him.

”They looked so cute together didn’t they Carlisle” Esme asked her husband who hummed and chuckled.

”I suppose and Theodore seems to be quite the gentleman he did find out all that information for Harry in two weeks.”

”A lot is going on are we sure Harry can handle this all” Bella questioned standing by the doorframe of the living room.

”Truth is he wouldn’t have to if he was raised the way he was meant to but someone took advantage of him and now he has to make up for lost time.”

”So what do we do then” Alice asked.

“Well we help him those books are quite informative so we can all learn and help Harry figure everything out.”

”So you want us to read?”Emmett asked.

”It’s for Harry.”

”…The boy is so spoiled.” With that Emmett grabbed Harry’s book in politics and wizard laws and got to reading.

The next day Harry woke up with a grumble rolling over trying to face away form the sun rays coming through his window. 

Hedwig flew over to his chest and pecked at him demanding to be let out for her morning hunt.

”Alright alright I’m up I’m up” He mumbled then slid out of bed and opened the window for the owl.

Today he and Theo would be heading to La Push to fix the rune stones and judging by how Theo was he was certain he was already on his way here.

Once dressed Harry walked downstairs and yawned smiling when Esme kissed his head and ushered him to the table for breakfast. Sure enough Theo was right there with a cup of tea talking with Jacob.

”Look who finally decided to grace us with his presence.” The other wizard smirked and Harry rolled his eyes sitting beside him.

”Not all of us get up at the crack of dawn you know.”

Theo ignored him and hummed softly as Harry dug into his breakfast. After many hugs from Esme and worried glances from Jasper, the two wix and Jacob headed off to the reservation.

Harry stood at the edge of the dense forest and the wind tugging at his jacket like a restless ghost.

The magic here felt…wrong.

“Theo do you feel that?” Asked Harry looking over at the other wizard.

”They are very much unstable who knows how long they have been like that.” 

The wolf pack had shown up not long after Harry had arrived and he was certain it was because they didn’t trust him.

”So if your right about this…we will calm down.” Sam asked crossing his arms as he glared at Harry.

”More then that you won’t have anymore unstable wolf transformations and the magic will be level again.”

“Yeah,” Theo said softly, gaze narrowing. “It’s like... something’s pulling magic all over the place and it doesn’t have a place to anchor itself to.”

That was the best way to describe it but they both knew they had a lot of work to do.

Theo tensed feeling the pulse of what was now considered wild magic. “Disgusting,” he muttered.

Harry shot him a look. “Theo..”

”I know…Let’s just keep going.”

The two reached the ward line and Harry stepped over yelping in pain when an electric shock ran through his body. He stumbled back and gasped.

”What was that?” He asked and Theo went over touching the ward with his finger then quickly pulling back when he was also shocked.

”That isn’t normal, the wards should let us in just fine…hopefully those rune stones aren’t to far gone.” 

“So what now we go back and think of something else” Leah said and Harry shook his head.

”No we have to keep going.” He got to his feet and took a deep breath. With a running start he ran straight into the ward hissing in pain on the other side as he fell to the ground, he twitched slightly as the shocks ran over his body.

”Theo if you want to turn back…” Harry didn’t get to finish his sentence as a hiss of pain reached his ear. 

Theo groaned and twitched shaking his head trying to brush off the remaining wild magic from his body.

The magic felt intrusive.

”Theo you…”

”Can’t let you go off on your own now let’s go before anything else happens.” Theo shot Harry a smirk and went forward.

A long silence followed, broken only by the wind.

”Well what are we waiting for let’s go”Seth said trotting away behind Theo.

Harry blinked and looked back at the rest of the pack, they shrugged and Jacob ruffled Harry’s hair.

Harry looked around the forest as they walked along. The trees went up so high and the animals around them loved their lives unaware of their unstable home.

Leah led the group wanting to be as far from the vampire as possible.

“Keep up,” she snapped, for the third time as Theo paused beside a tree knotted with moss and something that might have been ward threads. They led to the ward stones but the threads were all dead and dried up.

This was not a promising sign.

”Harry come here you’ll want to take a look at this” He called back.

Harry did as asked and peeked over his friends shoulder blinking down at the roots. 

“Do you think we will have to replace the stones?”

”At this point it’s highly possible.”

”We have to go uphill the threads lead that way toward the ridge. That’s where the ley lines converge. Ephraim placed the wards did it with geomancy.”

Harry gave him a flat look. “You say that like I should know what that means.”

“It means,” Theo said, adjusting his satchel, “this whole forest is a giant lattice. The rune stones weren’t just dropped randomly they’re connected to the shape of the land. Peaks, rivers, fault lines.”

”So they are landmarks.” Paul asked.

Theo nodded his head.

They hiked for another hour, the forest growing denser and darker the deeper they went.

Harry moved ahead, drawn like a thread was pulling him forward.

There, in the middle of a moss-covered clearing, stood the first rune stone.

Or what was left of it.

It had once been tall maybe seven feet carved from volcanic rock veined with silver and obsidian. The runes were in ancient scripture, almost glowing when Harry looked directly at them… but they were heavily damaged, as if something had split the stone from the inside out.

Hairline cracks crawled across its surface like spiderwebs, and where the runes should have pulsed with steady magic, they flickered like a dying star.

“Oh,” Theo whispered. “That’s not natural.”

Harry stepped closer, his magic reacting immediately And he looked over at Theo.

”Get the book we have to do this fast”

Theo pulled out a folded piece of parchment and laid it out on the floor” There are supposed to be three stones let’s just hope this one is the worst we will have to deal with.”

Harry looked again at the fractured stone noting at the bleeding runes and the way the light bent around them.

He wasn’t hopeful.

It had taken four hours, three magical burnouts, two near accidental wolf transformations and one spell that almost imploded the second rune when Harry channeled too much magic through it.

But now they stood with the last tune stone and just as they thought, this one was the worst of the three. The stone was all but gone, all that remained were the almost dead roots and small fragments of the large stone that once stood in it’s place.

It was depressing really. To think this whole mess was created because of pride and old pureblood traditions and the only ones who had suffered were the wolf shifters who had no defense against something that would destroy them from the inside.

”This is the last one right.” Sam asked looking over at Harry who was slouched on top of wolf Seth.

His core felt stretched and burned while his whole body was sore with exhaustion. The new rune stone stood proudly in front of everyone, proof of just how much magic Harry had needed to give into them.

“This one was the anchor and now that it’s back to how it should be the runes and wards will go back to normal.”

Harry looked up at the tune and hummed softly watching as magic seeped into it. The roots came back to life with silver streams running down to meet with the rest of the stones and wards. He whispered the last line of the ritual Theo had reconstructed from Ephraim Black’s notes.

“Look at that.” Jacob said and everyone looked up watching blue light fly across the sky meeting together and merging when they touched creating a new stronger barrier.

”You did it Harry. “ Theo smiled looking over at the boy who was dozing off on his makeshift blanket of wolf fur.

”It will take some time for everything to return to normal but for now this will do.” Harry said softly.

”To think we blamed the vampires for this but it was these rocks all along.” Leah mumbled.

“Well the vampires didn’t help but yes without the runes there wasn’t anything to keep this place form having a magical anchor and it was allowed to run wild.” Theo said sitting down on the grass.

Harry didn’t say anything for a long moment “Can we all live in peace now?”

Sam sighed softly” Fine.”

“Thanks.” Was all Harry was able to say before he let sleep consume him.

“Let’s get him back to Billy’s he needs a lot of rest.”

Chapter Text

Harry groaned softly, curling up in a tight ball he pulled the blankets over his head to try and shield his eyes from the sun.

The sounds of nature reached his sensitive ears along with the smell of old wood and dirt…

Old wood and dirt. The house didn’t smell like that, it smelled like lemons and yummy things Esme made for breakfast that morning. So where in Merlin’s name was he.

His eyes snapped open and for a second he thought it had been a dream…That his new life had been a dream and he was back with the Dursleys but instead of a small cupboard and thin mattress he was surrounded by pink walls and fluffy white fur pillows.

He was in a girls room.

Now he was really confused.

”Good morning tesoro” Harry looked over towards the door and smiled seeing Theo standing at the door way

”Theo where are we”

”Don’t worry we are still in the reservation you knocked out after the last rune and you were brought to Billy’s place”

”Who’s room is this”

”Rachel Black, she’s Jacobs sister she has a twin named Rebecca” Theo explained and Harry nodded rubbing his head 

“How long have I been asleep?” 

“About a day I honestly thought it was going to be more now come on let’s get some food in you and Billy has some questions”

Harry yawned getting out of bed the paused “Wait what does tesoro mean”

Theo smirked back at him then walked off Harry calling as he followed behind him.

The two walked down to the living room where Jacob, Sam and Billy were already talking.

”Morning sleeping beauty” Jacob smirked as Harry rolled his eyes.

”Morning Jacob how is everything”

Sam looked over at him and smiled “Well thanks to you the wolves are a lot calmer and the transformations have been a lot better, our younger shifters have also been able to control themselves a lot more”

”As the wards start to settle more changes will come” Harry said sitting down as he rubbed his head.

”You alright” Billy asked handing Harry some oatmeal and juice.

“ Thanks Billy and yeah just have to get my strength back is all. Those ward stones were almost gone who knows what would have happened if they fell completely”

”Well the shifters would have gone insane without their anchor for starters” Theo said as he checked his nails.

Harry looked over at him”That can happen”

”Yes just how we wix can't survive without our magical cores the shifters won’t be able to handle their anchors being destroyed especially the older ones who have been using it for years”

”What would have happened if they did fall” Billy asked and both Theo and Harry got quiet 

“…what happens to a dog when it’s suffering and in pain”

No one said anything to Theo's statement 

Billy cleared his throat and rubbed his palms on his pants”So we are fine to tell the rest of the chiefs about the wards now correct”

”Yes and actually now that the environment is stabilizing their might be wix that are born to the tribe in the next coming years”

”Wait really” Jacob said

”Yes, usually wix can be born from any bloodline may that be Pureblood, half-bloods or muggeborns but if the environment is corrupted like it was here their magical cores will burn out leading to other issues like premature deaths or miscarriages the closest you can get is a wolf shifter that doesn’t mean you were meant to be wix it just means that’s what they could have become”

”The blacks will most likely have new wix members do your sisters know about magic or anything associated with it Jacob “ Harry asked 

“Just Rachel she’s imprinted to Paul so she was dragged into it”

 Harry nodded” If Rebecca doesn’t have any magical children then she does not need to know about us I don’t know how far I can take it with telling her but since she’s not magical and her husband isn’t magical legally she doesn’t need to know unless she has a magical child”

”The wizard laws are weird technically we can tell her since she’s a Black but with her not being magical and already not knowing it’s a bit of a grey area”Theo said 

“We have to get going I have some paperwork I have to finish up and then the coven is going hunting” Harry said after finishing his snack and helping Billy with the dishes.

”Thank you for this and thanks for…not taking things over so to say”

”I never wanted to take things I just want to make sure everyone is safe and happy”

Billy smiled at him and pat his shoulder” Your welcome here anytime come over for the bomb fire I’m sure you’ll love hearing about the tribe and their legends”

”I’d be honored to thank you” Harry bowed his head to Billy then he and Theo were off back to the coven.

”That went a lot better then I thought it would” Harry smiled helping Theo over a large log.

”You did always have a way of getting people to like you tesoro”

”Okay what does that even mean”

”I’m sure you can find a book somewhere or ask that vampire father of yours” Theo smirked and Harry rolled his eyes 

“We are going hunting today, Grandpa wants to see how fast I can catch a meal on my own…it sounds so weird when I say it out loud like that”

”Why does he want to see that”

”For when I’m at school to make sure I can survive even though I can eat human food just fine”

”Didn’t you already make a kill back at Hogwarts”

”Yeah but grandpa says it doesn’t count because he wasn’t there”

“Well then I’ll leave you to it by the way your working on those papers for Sirius right”

Harry nodded “It’s taking longer then expected the British aisles keep trying to deny it…Dumbledore keeps denying it I know he wants me to have a reason to go back but MACUSA has taken charge of it after the second attempt so hopefully it won’t be long until he’s brought here even though he is a British wizard since he has ties here they are willing to give him his trial on American soil but I cannot go to his trial myself as a witness but I can give them my documentation stating his legal bloodline to my own”

”To think if they were actually competent Sirius could have been let go year ago. I hope your prepared for when Remus comes”

”I never met him, dad says with vampire memoirs I should remember everything from the moment I was born similar to Renesmee but I’m not sure that will happen with me”

”It’s to early to tell but for now let’s focus on what’s coming I’ll see you later yeah”Theo smiled and Harry nodded

”Your always welcome at our house you know” Harry smiled at him

”I know but I have to finish unpacking and get ready for next week we do start school remember”

Harry groaned and shook his head, his mane of curly hair flapping all over “ Don’t remind me, aunt Rose has already set up the house we will be staying in”

Theo smiled softly and ruffled Harry’s hair who just puffed his cheeks”I’m happy for you Harry you deserve everything that has happened to you with your family”

Harry smiled softly looking down at his shoes then at Theo “ I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you Thee” The two smiled at each other then went their separate ways with Harry smiling as he ran back home.

The forest was quiet Harry thought, his sharp ears twitching at every rustle of the trees. The moon bathed the clearing in silver light, casting shadows that danced as the wind whispered through the branches. Harry crouched low behind a rock, his golden eyes gleaming.

The coven had decided to hunt at nightfall since it was easier to catch prey under darkness, Harry was also sure they hoped he would make less mistakes this way.

Harry had refused to even try to hunt deer when he was told what they would be hunting.

”Harry it’s part of our diet”

”My dad was a deer “

”James wasn’t actually a deer Harry” 

Harry wouldn’t see reason and so the coven gave in. It was to much of a sore subject for the boy and they didn’t want to upset him further.

Jasper stood a few paces ahead, his expression calm and focused. In a blur, he disappeared into the underbrush.

"Stay here," he’d said firmly before they left. “Watch. Learn.”

But Harry was eleven. And eleven-year-olds rarely just watch.

There was a commotion and a flurry of movement then a startled animal cry.

Then silence.

Jasper emerged moments later, his arms cradling the limp form of a moose. Blood glistened along its side where he’d pierced the jugular with his teeth, but he was then distracted for just a second. He turned slightly as Alice called from the edge of the woods leaving the kill on the grass.

That was all the time Harry needed.

”Mine”

Tiny fangs bared and little hands outstretched, Harry crept forward on silent feet while his eyes gleamed under moonlight. He reached the moose and, with a glance toward his distracted father, wrapped his small arms around the carcass and dragged it away.

But unfortunately for Harry he didn’t get very far before the weight became too much for his little body. But he was determined and with one last pull he got the moose onto it’s side and  sank his tiny fangs into the wound his father had previously made

They were just big enough to get in.

”Mmm this is so much better then rabbit”

“Harry”

The voice was soft and Harry knew exactly who was behind him.

He froze and slowly turned his head meeting the unimpressed face of Jasper, his eyebrow was raised and his arms crossed.

”…Hello” Harry said trying to look cute as he showed his small fangs and big innocent eyes.

It didn’t work.

”What happened to watch and learn” Jasper asked looking down at his son.

”But dad I did watch then I learned…that I was hungry” Harry replied going back to the moose in innocent defiance.

Jasper sighed but he broke into a smile as he joined Harry in the meal followed behind by the others who joined in” Your to cheeky for your own good”

“See I told you I could do a hunt on my own” Harry smirked at Carlisle.

”You didn’t even hunt you stole dinner”

”It’s not my fault dad got distracted look how far I dragged it”

Chapter Text

Harry was laying down on the couch looking through his portfolios. With his belly full and the sun hitting his back he was conferrable just laying around apart from sitting at the table.

As he flipped through his possessions one claim caught the boys eye.

"Household Ledger – Potter Estate Elves: Registered, Active, and Deceased." Harry blinked at it and tilted his head.

”Is this what Theo was talking about, I found out about the Blacks house elf but I didn’t know I had some of my own.”

Harry blinked and sat up calling out the elf’s name “Kretcher.”

Kreacher, who had appeared at the mention of his name, looked up sharply.

“What can old Kretcher do for the hybrid heir lord” His voice was rough but all still taunting.

“I have other house elves.” The boy looked over ignoring the well..creature's tone.

“Kreacher is loyal servant of the Noble House of Black… but Master Harry also has other elves, yes he does. From his true noble line… even with how shameful it has become.”

Harry growled softly “Watch yourself, I have only met you today but I can surly turn you into a snack.”

”My apologies master Harry.” The elf taunted and Harry knew this elf would be a challenge and was definitely not sorry.

”Why didn’t you come to me before?”

“No one asked. Stupid master never cared about proper traditions...”

He was glad everyone else had gone off to do their own things but knew they wouldn’t leave him alone for long. With one final look at the enchantment he had to say Harry looked around and spoke.

“As Lord Heir of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter and Black, I call any bound house-elves to present themselves before me.”

With a faint pop, two elves appeared before him both dressed in crisp, old fashioned uniforms bearing the Potter crest.

They looks different the Krecher did. Harry wondered if the elves were treated differently based on their masters.

“Master Harry Potter, sir. I is Coffee, housekeeper elf of Potter Manor and estates. Bound to the Potter family for four generations.” Said a small female elf as she bowed her head.

The second elf bowed his head as well.

“I be Bixby and I take care of the grounds and kitchens master”

Harry knelt down to their height and smiled”Hello it’s nice to meet you.”

”Little lord looks like his father he does.” Coffee smiled as Bixby nodded.

”Hopefully little lord will be less trouble.”

 Harry chuckled softly. He knew most house elves were afraid to even speak to their masters so to know his elves had no issue with such things was nice to see.

“You’ve been at the Manor… all these years?”

“Yes, Master. Everything remains as it was. Wards strong, even through war and time” Bixby said with pride.

Krecher mumbled softly and Harry looked over at him” I know you have served the house of Black this whole time but I also know you have been alone in that house for years you can stay with me.”

The old elf stared at the wizard in shock. No one has treated him with such…kindness.

”Krecher will…stay close but Krecher does not trust the new master yet..”

Harry let him be for now as he looked to the three elves “You ready to get to work.”

“At your command, Lord Heir Potter Black” They bowed. 

Then the door opened and Alice came in smiling.

“Harry? Are you…”

She froze mid-step as she entered the room, golden eyes going wide. Behind her, Jasper, Edward, and Carlisle followed, all coming to an abrupt halt at the sight.

The elves to their credit stood in-front of their young master glaring at the vampires. Harry helped as he quickly settled them down.

”Hey it’s okay they are my family.”

The elves mumbled softly and Carlisle stepped up to get a closer look.

”Fascinating I haven’t seen a house elf since my time back in England.”

Harry watched as everyone checked each other out. Mostly the vampires really but still.

“They’re my house-elves. Kreacher came with the Black family, and these two Coffee and Bixby have served the Potters for generations.”

Coffee smiled as she rose her head up, her ears perked at the side of her head and her crest gleaming.

“Master Harry is the rightful heir lord of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Potter Black. We are bound to serve with pride and loyalty.”

”Wait your his slaves” Asked Edward and the elves all gasped in horror.

”We is not slaves muggle vampire we serve the master and those before him with pride it is an honor” Bixby stated and even Krecher agreed with him.

“it’s an old tradition, long ago a wizard found an elf in the forests near his home, they had been hunted down by anything and everything bigger then they were, this elf was hurt and the wix nursed her back to health and in return the elf pledged her loyalty to this wizard and his family and soon other elves joined in.”Harry explained as Alice titled her head.

”What about the elves, what do they get”

”A wizards magic stabilizes us , yes we can survive without a master but we won’t feel..fulfilled even free elves find ways to serve wizards” Said Coffee. 

Carlisle hummed softly “The traditions here are older than our kind… older than Volturi, even.”

Harry looked over at Jasper and smiled up at him”They can get you blood pops.”

Jasper blinked and sighed softly” I can never relax with you around can I.”

Harry smiled and snuggled into his dads belly.

”Nope at least I’m cute right dad.”

”Among other things.”

Chapter Text

It had been a few days since Harry had introduced his house elves and he was set to head to Ilvamorny very soon. Carlisle had been silent through this whole endeavor since he found out how little the wizarding population was.

He had been helping Harry with some aspects of his lordship and remembered the war in England he had helped in. At the time he wasn’t really focused on what led to that war but now seeing his grandson he remembered just why he had so little wizarding family.

He saw Harry’s family registry, a thin line of one child per generation the rest had been empty.

Page after page had been empty. Then he saw more family bloodlines in Harry’s textbooks.

Extinct 

Burned 

Destroyed 

Hunted

"Potter Lineage – One Magical Heir Remaining."

“Black Lineage-One Magical Heir Remaining.”

Carlisle closed the book gently. He sat back in the chair, fingers steepled beneath his chin. Now because of people like him his grandson was paying that price.

His precious Harry could get pregnant because of his ignorance. His grandson was a child lord because no one else could be.

He had always prided himself on being different. On resisting the predator within. On saving lives instead of taking them. But seeing his grandsons smiling face he was forced to face his truth.

”I was a monster before I became a vampire”

He, his father and those before him had hunted wixen and now he had a magical grandson.

”I knew karma was going to get me one day”

”What am I going to tell Harry”

“Grandpa” A little voice reached the man’s ear and Carlisle quickly turned his head.

”Harry hello” 

Harry stood at the door, the quilt Esme had made him when he arrived wrapped around his small body with his new sleep clothes covered. His tiny feet poking out from under the edges of the quilt.

How could he have hurt such a beautiful boy.

”Are you okay”Harry waddled in his messy hair bouncing as he got closer.

”I um have been thinking”

Harry hummed sitting down next to Carlisle his feet not even reaching the ground.

”Is it about me” He smiled up at him and Carlisle was silent for a moment.

”…I am actually”

Harry nodded silently feeling the tension in the air. Carlisle sat, folding his hands neatly in his lap, golden eyes fixed on the fireplace for a long moment.

“I read the bloodline registry and saw the family history.”

Harry’s expression didn’t change, but his shoulders stiffened slightly”Yeah there are few in the line aren’t there.”

”Harry…When I was human my father and family had many…views on what was wrong and right, he was a pastor and he…he hunted anything supernatural.”

Harry looked at his grandfather and blinked”Supernatural…like…like me.”

Carlisle was silent and that’s all the confirmation Harry needed.

”You killed wizards”

”Harry I honestly don’t know how many of those people were magical and how many weren’t.”

”What do you mean?”

”My father went after anyone who was different for any reason even people with disabilities were targeted let alone those with magical blood.”

Harry’s jaw clenched slightly, but he didn’t look away.

“You have no idea how much I regret it Harry and when I look at you…”

Harry blinked and tilted his head.

”I wanted to repay my sins that’s why I went to England in the first place..to help those who I have hurt but seeing your family…”

Harry was quiet for a long time. The fire cracked.

”Our family”

He looked directly at Harry now, his eyes looking into the innocence of his grandson.

“That’s one thing they told us back at school, hide from the muggles and always hold the Stature of Secrecy at the highest regard but truth is the Stature is a lie.”

Carlisle blinked at this quite surprised Harry of all people said this.

”How so?”

”it’s just a pretty way to segregate two worlds that have been overlapping for centuries doesn't mater who it is the two worlds will always collide” Harry said softly looking down at his hands. 

Carlisle sighed softly gently running his fingers through Harry’s hair surprised his grandson wasn’t freaking out as much as he thought he would.

“I can’t undo what was done. But I swear this to you, Harry. As long as I exist, I will protect you and everything you hold dear.”

“You already are. You’re here, telling the truth, I have had my fair share of lies and dark pasts, what matters is the path we choose to act on…that’s who we really are.”

Carlisle stared at the boy surprised by his wisdom but he smiled softly feeling closer to his grandson.

”Thanks for telling me, it would have been easy to never mention it and live in darkness…I’ve had enough of that for the time being.”

”You deserve to know the truth I’m just great full you don’t hate me for my past.”

Harry smiled softly”I think you paid your debt in that regard it has been over three hundred years.”

”I was turned by a vampire on one of those hunts.”

”Oooh vampire bites are not fun.”

Carlisle chuckled softly and smiled”No they are not.”

”Everyone here came from somewhere didn’t they?” Harry asked and his grandfather nodded.

“Most of them I turned myself,  your father and Alice came one day and never left, Bella was turned by Edward and you know your cousin was born to them.”

Harry was quiet for a second” I call Jasper dad…do you think Alice will let me call her mum I never had one before but I don’t want to…I don’t want to feel like I’m replacing my other parents.”

The patriarch smiled softly. Harry was such a sweet boy just wanting to make everything right.

”Well I’m sure Alice would be ecstatic for the honor and as for Lily and James, just because you call someone else mom and dad doesn’t mean you’re replacing them. They live in you and they always will. When you look at yourself in the mirror you remember you’re here today because of their sacrifice. They loved you and as long as you hold that love they will always be a part of you.”

Harry thought about that looking over at the flames” Thanks grandpa I guess old people really are wise”

Carlisle stared at Harry then smirked bringing him close as he tickled him smiling as the boy laughed and tried to escape”Alright off to bed it’s getting late and you have a long day tomorrow.”

With one last hug Harry waddled off dragging his quilt behind him.

Chapter Text

The sunlight filtered through the thick canopy of Forks’ forest, casting dappled shadows across the mossy ground. Harry ran, his black hair windswept and a grin spreading across his face as he dodged tree trunks with the ease of someone who'd been climbing them since before he could walk.

“Come in dad slow down I’m not as fast as you” Harry whined catching up to Jasper and climbing onto his back as said man laughed and rolled around on the grass with Harry tickling and playing with him.

”We have to build up those muscles if you want to keep up with us harbear”

Harry puffed his cheeks and squeezed out of his fathers arms”Dad let goooo”

Jasper smiled and did as asked laughing as Harry stumbled onto a patch of grass.

”Why are we out here anyway” Harry asked as he sat up 

Jasper smiled sitting down next to the boy”Just wanted to spend some time with my boy apart from Rose hogging you all the time”

Harry smiled up at him happy to have his dad with him on his birthday. He didn’t want to seem spoiled or rude bringing it up and he’s never been celebrated before so just having Jasper with him was more then enough for the boy.

He was in for a suprise 

“How are you feeling about everything, school starts in two days and it’s been rather busy for you this summer”

”Yeah the school wants us early for enrollment and for me to set everything up for my accommodations and school doesn’t start until a week from tomorrow”

“I’m sure you’ll do just fine your a clever boy after all” Jasper said nuzzling Harry’s hair.

Harry looked up at the sky covered by trees and leaves”It feels like everything has happened so fast”

Harry was happy with how his life was turning out.

Still, Jasper had never once mentioned Harry’s birthday.

Not that Harry expected him to. No one ever had.

Carlisle stood near the edge of the backyard, his hands folded behind his back, scanning the setup with quiet nerves.

“Stop pacing,” Alice said, zipping past with a tray of cupcakes“You’re making everyone anxious.”

“I just want everything to be perfect” the coven leader said softly.

Emmett snorted from where he was setting up a huge banner between two trees.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY!”

”Everything will be amazing Harry is going to love it” Esme said softly placing the present table to the side, it was already stacked with gifts and bags.

“It's his first real birthday,” he said quietly. “He doesn't even know what one’s supposed to feel like.”

The wolves came over with the many boxes of decorations and tons of balloons “The kid is going to love this I bet he will be so overwhelmed” 

“Emily and Sam are bringing the cake and the boxes of blood treats from the wizarding world are already on the tables”Billy said rolling over with his own gift neatly wrapped on his lap. It was the most chaotic peace Forks had ever seen. But for Harry, they'd all come together.

”Great thank you Billy, Jasper will bring Harry in about an hour and Theo said he was bringing a special surprise for Harry and would join us soon”

”Are those two dating” Asked Jacob and everyone looked at him. Ross was the one to answer.

”No Harry isn’t allowed to date until he’s five hundred of I'm dead” She said crossing her arms.

”You can’t keep the boy as your cuddle buddy forever Rose, Harry will grow up weather that’s with Theo or someone else we don’t know yet” Edward stated coming ouside with the table cloths.

”Alright enough of that let’s finish this up and get ready for the birthday boy” Esme shooed everybody away.

A while later and Jasper looked down at his phone and smiled getting up off the grass.

“Alright let’s go”

Harry blinked and looked up at him “Go where”

”Home Esme has a wonderful surprise for you” 

“What is it” Harry asked quickly getting up

Jasper chuckled softly “Well if I told you it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it”

”If you told me I’ll still act surprised” 

As they stepped through the trees into the clearing Jasper felt his pockets”Hey Harry you go in ahead i think I left something back in the forest” 

Harry nodded and went on ahead following the path back home. He. stopped dead in his tracks once he came to the backyard of the house.

The yard was decorated in lights, balloons and all kinds of things. Long tables of food of different kinds laid out ready for the pickings and at the center of it stood the biggest cake Harry had ever seen. The top had a stag figurine with a little sign with the number twelve in it.

The gift table stood tall with the biggest ones on the floor. 

And everyone was there,vampires, werewolves,Theo and….Ron and Hermione…Everyone was here 

“SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY!”

Harry froze.

For a moment, he couldn’t breathe. His heart thudded so hard he thought it might crack his ribs. No one had ever shouted that before.

From the center of the crowd Ron and Hermione ran over to him and hugged him. He immediately held them back.

”Harry birthday mate hope you didn’t forget about us” Ron smirked as the three pulled away from their hug.

Harry smiled brightly tears falling down his face”Never Ron”

”Oh good we thought you would have replaced us with Nott over there” Herminie smiled as Theo came over and ruffled Harry’s hair.

“Alright give the boy some space” Theo chuckled as Harry rubbed his eyes from the crying he was now doing.

Jasper came over from the woods smiling “Harry birthday son”

Harry cried more snuggling jnto his dads belly who in turn rubbed his back.

Jasper smiled and everyone came over congratualing the boy.

The stars were out now, clear and sharp above the Cullen house. Most of the guests had gone the Denali coven heading back to Alaska, the wolves retreating into the woods with satisfied bellies and faint growls of amusement. Even the Cullens had drifted inside helping Ron and Hermione settle down for the night giving Harry space to breathe.

The yard was a complete mess with party decorations all over the floor, messy food tables and gift wrapping spread out around the grass. He still wore his birthday badge as he sat on the porch steps looking up at the sky.

”How are you feeling” Theo asked as he sat down next to him.

”I feel so happy and full I don’t know how to explain it”

”Well you sure had fun especially once Renesmee brought out the piñata”

Harry laughed, the tension in his chest easing slightly. "Hey it's not my fault Uncle Edward got to close ...he broke the stick when I hit him"

They sat in companionable silence for a while, sipping their drinks and listening to the wind in the trees.

“This was the first time someone remembered my birthday. Properly, I mean. Not just giving me socks and pretending it didn’t happen.”

Theo glanced at him sideways, then looked back up at the stars.“You deserve the party”

“It was amazing but I just… I’m not used to people doing things for me without expecting something back.”

“You think your family expect something?”

”No but it feels weird having someone care about me like this”

”…I care about you” Theo said softly and Harry looked over at him smiling. 

“Thanks Theo, for everything”

”A lot of people care about you, the coven, the wolves and even Denali coven”

Harry glanced at him, curious. “Speaking of the Denali… you’ve been spending a lot of time with them.”

Theo tried to pass off his nonchalance, but the faint smirk gave him away. “They’re interesting.”

Harry raised an eyebrow. “Interesting?”

Theo rolled his eyes ag him.

“Do you fancy one of them?” Harry asked with mock seriousness.

Theo choked slightly on his butterbeer. “They’re all, like, hundreds of years older than me Tesoro. Also, one of them could crush my skull with a raised finger”

”So you get adopted by a coven and I get a birthday party how ironic is this”

”My father would flip if he found out I was being nice to vampires…I hope it unnerves him”

Harry hummed softly looking up at the sky once more seeing the bright stars, his eyes caught on the two brightest ones of all of them and in his heart he just knew they were his parents watching him from heaven.

Yeah it was an amazing birthday.

Chapter Text

The Cullen living room was quiet now. The laughter and chaos of Harry’s first birthday party had faded into warm memory. Balloons hung deflated in corners. Wrapping paper was stuffed into bags.

Harry sat by the fireplace watching the flame dance over the wood. Ron and Herminie along with Theo sat around him as they waited for the time to come when the other two lions would take their port key back to England. Things had been somewhat quiet with them after the party and Harry could just feel something was wrong, it didn’t help his dad kept giving the two Gryffindors odd looks.

Harry turned his head. “Alright. Spit it out.”

Ron looked up, mouth full. “Wha?”

“Whatever you two are holding back. Hermione’s been chewing her lip when she would scold me for doing that”

Hermione flinched slightly. Then sighed.

”It’s Dumbledore” Said Ron 

Theo sat up from his nest of blankets and stared at them”Dumbledore?”

Harry frowned. “What about him?”

“He’s…” she paused, searching for the right word. “He’s not taking things well. You being here and away from everything in Hogwarts”

”He wanted me to stay with the Dursleys even after I told him how they treated me”He scoffed as he turned away.

“He wants you to go back”

Theo blinked and stared at them”What’s that supposed to mean’

”He keeps talking nonsense about putting everything back as it should be and making you your back to where you need to be” Ron said 

“He can’t make me go back, I have a family here and I’m not leaving it”

Ron looked uncomfortable. “We overheard McGonagall and Snape arguing with him. He’s pulling strings, personal ones.”

Hermione met his eyes. “He’s…  trying to keeping Sirius in Azkaban.”

Harry’s stomach dropped.

“No,” he said, shaking his head. “He can’t. Sirius is innocent. Pettigrew…MACUSA said they would handle it”

”They are but Dumbledore keeps trying to block them if this goes on it will become international law and the ICW will get involved” Hermione said 

“The ICW?” Harry asked

”The International Confederation Of Wizards…The Untied Nations of our world” Explained Theo 

“What happens if they get involved”

”They may very well take the case to the court and could either favor America or England Dumbledore being chief Warlock will have a say in this but they are ruthless…I don’t think he would want them to get involved”

”Then we let them get involved”

Everyone looked at Theo” What”

”Dumbledore has little to no power against the ICW and they will look into this case by every hair, he’s fear mongering Harry to fore him to come back and using Sirius against him as leverage” 

“Theo is right either America wins the case or they can send it to the ICW Dumbledore is also holding back Remus” Ron said 

“What’s he got on Remus”

”He keeps using the werewolf laws against him and the fact he never checked on Harry throughout his life”

”But Dumbledore was lying to him”

”You think England will listen to a werewolf who abandoned his own family”

There was a long silence.

Harry’s hands clenched into fists on his knees.

“So what,” he said, voice low. “He thinks if I feel bad enough I’ll go back and play to his games again”

No one answered to that statement.

That’s what Dumbledore thought.

”He built a fire and is now trying to smoke you out you have to play this right Harry” Theo said softly

”Sorry we had to spring this on your birthday but we couldn’t tell you in a letter and we leave this afternoon” Hermione said softly.

“I know thanks guys I’ll…I’ll figure something out but first we have to get Remus he won’t survive out there on his own” With that everyone got ready to send the two lions back 

After tearful goodbyes and lots of hugs at the port key Harry sat at the dining room table with his portfolios. He felt like he was being pulled from happiness to stress everyday.

Everyone came in as Jasper looked down at him”You alright Harry” 

“I need your help”

That got everyone’s attention as Harry took a deep breath and everything just spilled out of Jim’s. Sirius in Azkaban, the threat of the ICW and especially about Remus. Oh he really got into the mistreatment of Remus 

There was a long silence.

Harry's voice cracked. “Remus didn’t ask for this. He’s barely got anything left. I..I just want to get him out. Safe. Here. Where he can be free. I have to save him.”

”We will save him”Carlisle corrected 

Esme stood too, her voice gentle but firm. “Harry, he’s your family. That makes him ours, too.”

”If we work quickly we can get the wolf here before the next full moon” Edward said

Harry’s throat tightened, and he blinked fast. He expected everyone to be cautious and question him but he got none of that.

Harry said quietly, voice breaking. “You don’t have to…”

”Harry you lost a lot of people because of that war and if we can bring some of them back to you we will”Jasper said softly.

”We will take care of it you just focus on school and being cute” Rose said 

Harry looked at each of them, one by one, these vampires, the misfit Slytherin, this strange, perfect family he had somehow acquired. 

“Thank you,” he whispered.

Jasper gave a small smile. “Go get some sleep, son. We’ve got a werewolf to rescue.”

With that Harry left along with Theo and the Cullens all looked at each other.

”I’ll call Jenks he’s the one who got Jacob and Renesmees forged documents when the Volturi were after us”Carlisle stated.

”Are we telling Harry the process won’t exactly be legal” Esme asked

”As long as Harry gets his wolf that’s what matters”

”What is it with Half immortals bonding with wolves”Jacob sighed and shook his head as he smiled down at Renesmee 

Chapter Text

It was two days before Harry was set to leave for school and before he went Carlisle wanted to get him checked out. They would have done this sooner but he felt his grandson was to emotionally unready to face something like this, they had gotten his medical records and they made his dead heart pound with anger.

Harry had not been seen by any kind of doctor since he was a year old, nothing for the past ten years. Carlisle knew humans were flawed but to know Harry’s reveries didn’t even give him basic health care snapped something in him. And now here they stood in a healers exam room.

Harry sat on the edge of the padded exam bed, his trainers kicking nervously against the cabinet. His arms were crossed, hood pulled halfway up even though it wasn’t cold. The glowing diagnostic runes hovering above his chest flickered softly in golden light.

“I feel fine,” Harry said again for what felt like the tenth time. 

Carlisle gave a small hum as he pat Harry’s head, Jasper stood at his side his hand on Harry’s knee.

The healer, who’s name was Healer Vale finished with her exam and looked at her parchment, her eyes widened slightly as she looked down at Harry.

”Lord Heir Potter Black how long has your arm been bothering you?”

Harry blinked. “It doesn’t really. It used to ache a bit when it was cold and I was left in my cupboard.”

No one knew what to say to that statement but Jasper felt his emotions become unstable at the implications of his sons treatment…or lack there of.

“He has a healed fracture on his left arm. Sloppy healing. It wasn’t set properly. Based on the growth pattern this happened when he was eight.”

She continued reading off her charts going through Harry’s diagnostics. 

“That’s not the only one,” She responded gently. “Two ribs and a broken finger. One of your ankles has an old stress fracture. None of them were treated magically or medically. They were just… left there to heal in their own and with the fact you were not properly fed both with human food and blood they did not heal well.”

Jasper moved a little closer, face like carved stone while Carlisle wanted this to be over already not being able to handle what he was hearing.

Unfortunately for them the healer wasn’t finished.

“Your height and weight are both well below expected ranges and they are not not due to genetics seeing as both your parents are tall. There are markers of  chronic malnutrition, especially between the ages of three to eleven. Your bone density is low and as previously stated with your lack of diet your stomach lining shows signs of repeated starvation.”

Both Carlisle and Jasper suppressed growls as Harry slowly hid into his hoodie. They were very glad the rest of the coven had stayed home.

”There are also…core suppressions.”

”What are core suppressions?” Jasper asked his voice a bit to calm for Harry’s liking. 

“His core has been damaged and corrupted and a wix with a core like that…is a dead wix and with Harry being a gene carrier it makes it even more dangerous.”

”How so?” Asked Jasper.

”A Gene Carrier as you know is a wizard who is capable of becoming pregnant, now during the pregnancy a lot of magic and energy is used to grow the child and deliver it. With Harry being so unstable who knows what would have happened if he did get pregnant and the proper treatment wasn’t put in place to accommodate the child. The child could have been lost or Harry himself.”

No one said said anything to that. They knew being a Barer was difficult but the fact Harry could have died from any pregnancy…

Harry frowned. “Why did it..get like that?”

“Your magic… learned to hide itself.To disappear from view. Children under extreme stress can unconsciously suppress their core usually out of fear of punishment or trauma related to accidental magic.”

“Like when a kid learns not to cry because they’ll get hit for it.” Jasper said softly.  

The healer nodded her head.

”He could have very well become an Obscurial.”

”What’s that?” Harry asked.

“It’s when a young witch or wizard suppressed their innate magic, either through will power or as a result of violence or abuse, a powerful parasite could form within that child and destroy their magical core…it will eventually kill them and is a death sentence.”

Harry stared at the floating diagram. He could see the outline of his ribs, his core, the faint magical flicker in his chest.

“…You’re saying I’m messed up.” he said quietly.

The healer slowly knelt down looking at the boy.

”Honey look at me, you experienced a life you never deserved, those muggles hurt you when they should have loved you no matter who’s blood you had in your veins you were and are an innocent child do not blame yourself for their cruelty.”

There was a pause.

Then Harry gave a sharp, humorless laugh.

”Well now I can really lay it on Dumbledore now, oh just wait until Moony hears about this…oh no wait until Theo hears about this.” Harry wasn’t sure if he was in denial or just trying to find humor in his situation.

Jasper crouched beside him slowly, like approaching a wounded animal. His voice was quiet.

”Harry did you think this was normal?”

”Well I grew up in that house and then Dumbledore sent me down to get that rock we both know he set that up…can’t blame me for thinking that’s what I deserved.”

Jasper stared down at his son completely heartbroken.

“…I thought it was just the way things were,” Harry mumbled. “Some kids get bedrooms. I got the cupboard and I didn’t know it was wrong.”

“You’re not in a healthy position Harry,” he said as he didn’t exactly want to sugarcoat his sons very real medical state. “But you will be we’ll help you heal no matter how long it takes or what we have to do.”

Harry swallowed looking down at his hands.

”What if I never heal?”

”You will son I know you will. We’ll walk you through it day by day.“

Harry nodded and smiled softly as the healer pulled out a second chart.

”I have a list of potions you should put him on and I understand he will be seeing a Mind Healer correct.”

Carlisle nodded” He starts next week with that they will be seeing him at the school.”

“That’s good I’ll give his Mind Healer a copy of his potions to make sure they are effecting him as they should, I want to start him today on them and see him once a week to ensure he is able to handle them properly.”

The three nodded as Healer Vale grabbed her clipboard.

”Now let’s talk about his treatment plan.” Healer Vale waved her wand and five different colored vials came floating over landing on a nearby table.

“This first one is a nutritional stabilizer.” She handed Jasper a list of everything the potion did.

“Taken twice daily. Replenishes vitamin deficiencies, repairs organ strain from starvation.  Side effects, intense hunger for the first week. Eat when your body says eat.” Carlisle read aloud and Harry gaped at him.

“Skeletal regrowth aid is to be taken once a week, repairs bone density and fractures, may cause bone deep aches and slight fatigue. You mean every break.” Jasper read off the list.

”Every break but it will pass I suggest you give him body messages every once in a while especially around his joints.” Healer Vale said.

“Magical core rebalancer stabilizes and expands the magical core over time, helps undo long term suppression, may cause emotionally intense and sometimes causes odd emotions or magical surges to resurface.”

”You might cry out of no where and your magic along with your Umbrakenisis ability may surface from your emotions.” Said Healer Vale and Harry just stared at her.

”He can also take dreamless sleep to help with his nightmares and separation anxiety to the coven, if anything feels strange I want you to come see me as soon as possible and we will see about changing the dosage of your potions.”

Harry stared at the glowing vials like they might bite him. “That’s a lot.”

“It is,” she agreed. “Because your body was neglected for a long time you’ll need to be put on a strict schedule.”

He looked down at his hands and Healer Vale softened up just a bit.

“You are not broken. You are injured and lost. And injured people can heal if someone cares enough to help.”

Carlisle stepped forward, taking two of the vials while Jasper reread Harry’s diagnostic report “Will you be his primary healer?”

”Yes I will be unless he switches to another hospital but I’ll refer him to a new healer if that is the case.”

She looked down at Harry who was eyeing the vials “With time and patience you will heal well, it’s a bit to early to say how long they will take but I know you’ll do just fine.”

Harry nodded and sighed softly”They taste bad I already know they do.”

Healer Vale chuckled softly and pat his shoulder” You’ll get used to it.”

Chapter Text

The morning mist clung low to the trees. The air smelled like pine, dew, and distant  Barrie’s and fruits. Near the edge of the Cullen property, where the trees thickened and the port key to Ilvermorny shimmered faintly in the early light, Harry stood ready with his trunk and Hedwig on his shoulder. His wand was tucked away in his robes.

His fangs had started to grow out finally leaving that cute baby phase, the many teething toys could attest to his growth.

Esme came over and fixed his scarf around his neck for the fifth time “Now don’t leave those castle windows open you might catch a cold and we don’t want you to get sick”

”Yes grandma” He said softly not wanting to whine with her though he already knew he would lose.

Jasper stood nearby, hands in his pockets watching the boy being fussed about. His posture was relaxed, but his mind was anything but.

Harry turned looking between them both. He shifted his weight and hesitated.”Are you sure they will like me”

”Oh honey they will love you”Esme cooed at her grandson.

There was a beat of silence then Harry hugged Esme snuggling into her body. He had gotten better with physical contact recently and now felt more conferable with hugs though he was still it of by Renesmees gift.

That had landed in a panic attack form Harry and a stunner from his wand, Jacob was left between his mate and his head of house trying to calm the two down.

”I’ll write. Every week.”

”I’m sure your Aunt Rose has already gotten hold of the fastest mail transportation available” Jasper chuckled softly.

Rose came out with Harry’s satchel “I packed an extra set of gloves. And your tea blend. And Prongs has been put in your trunk”

Harry smiled brightly happy to be bringing his stuffed stag with him. It had taken him a few tries to get it to shrink but he managed.

He hugged the blonde and smiled up at her. Then she clutched him back with fierce gentleness, like he might disappear if she wasn’t careful.

“Be good and make lots of friends and remember your better then everyone there so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise”

”Yes Aunt Rose” Harry saluted causing the blonde to smile and kiss his head.

Alice came out and smiled softly handing him a new cloak”It’s for the winter just in case”

Harry went over and hugged her tightly, snuggling into her belly.“Thanks mum.

Alice froze then hugged him back.

”You don’t mind do you…” Harry asked looking up at her.

”No Harry I’d be honored” She said softly m, stroking his cheeks and she kissed his head.

Jasper looked away, just for a moment. The trees around them seemed to hold their breath.

Alice stepped back, brushing her fingers across his cheek one last time.

“You’re going to be amazing, Harry and I know your going to have so much fun and learn so many things” Alice stated.

He nodded, wiping at his eyes quickly with the sleeve of his coat watching everyone else come over from inside and give him hugs and kisses for the road.

”Remember Harry go straight to the Headmistress once you get to the school, usually students go by a flying train but due to your accommodations you’ll be meeting with her and talking about everything you will need, your potions are safely in your satchel so is your medicine schedule” Caroline went on about Harry taking care of himself and soon Emmett moved the patriarch to the side scooping up his nephew into his arms.

”Oh I’ll miss you I can’t wait until Christmas you better tell me everything that happens alright” The man said as the boy giggled and squealed.

”Yes uncle Emmett”

Once he was put down Harry went over to his father and looked up at him”Are you okay dad”

Jasper smiled softly and knelt down to his sons level”I’m fine Harry I’ll miss you very much and remember to always know I’ll be here, I’m just one owl away. Soon we will be moving to Massachusetts to be closer to you”

Harry hugged the man and snuggled into his neck “I love you dad”

”I love you to Harry..James would be so so proud of you”He said softly and the boy hugged him a bit tighter.

Harry picked up his trunk, adjusted the strap of his satchel, and gave them one last smile

“See you soon.” 

“We will pick you up for Christmas” Jasper said and Harry looked at the port key and touched it. 

After a second the boy was off and everyone already missed him very much.

”is this the time to tell everyone the papers for Remus came in” Edward asked. Everyone looked over at him.

”Harry will have a nice Christmas gift to come back to”
