DISCLAIMER: Not mine just the plot.

Chapter 1

The year is 1937

Years of planning and they the Order of Aurelius would be the ones to unleash the hellmouth. Normally Harry wouldnt do something so stupid, but the balance needs to be restored. Mayhap a little Hell on earth is just what they need to set things right.

It's not like he didn't have a kill switch to shut the door once it's open. 3 seconds is more then enough to restore the balance. He knows should this not work something far worse will occur as the balance will see to it's alignment it's self. Nature has a way of fixing it's self that to any sane person would be a bad thing. Harry had no plans to go out like the Dinosaurs.

When good has been in charge for to long an act of true evil must be done to right the world. Just as when evil has been done then only an act of goodness will keep the End of all days back from unleashing Armageddon.

Balance is needed, The Order will set everything right once again. Harry helped to restore the balance once before many years ago. He helped to stop a great evil. A Demon was killing everything in his path Harry, helped stop him. A power to absorb attributes from others was dangerous and scary. Harry, relished beating the shit out of that fucker. Japan is also where he made Yuki, a Slayer he took for himself. A good girl he left to show his dominion over the country.

Now he was restoring the balance again only this time by playing the bad guy.

Just a little longer till the moon reaches it's zenith than the ritual will be done and the balance restored.

Before the ritual could be completed disaster struck.

The ground is moving, the earth is shaking beneath my feet, concrete cracking, buildings collapsing.

The Earthquake was the worst to have happened in California's history so far. It nearly took Sunnydale of the map.

The ritual was never completed, trapped within the confines of the parameters set in the beginning Harry was just glad his people were safe. It will take years for the magic to dissipate enough for him to brake free. More than a day later Luke came back bringing a snack for him. Human's could cross the line. Good to know.

43 Years Later

Lily Potter finally found what she had been looking for. The Potter family Grimoire. The Grimoire contained magic only the potter family knew of. Lily knew that James mother had fertility problems, yet James was still conceived, late in life yes, but still she managed to have him.

Lily knew the answer she sought is within reach. For once those stuck up Pure-Bloods would have to acknowledge her. They never look at James like he is beneath them no James is one of them, it's just her that doesn't belong.

For several hours Lily tried to open the book, she finally broke down and asked James about the book in general. How would one go about reading a Grimoire? Grimoire's are tied to a bloodline not even a spouse can read it unless blood related.

With no choice Lily went to plan-B Severus will help her with anything she asks. James blood is the key to finding her a child. Now for that potion.

Thanks to Severus, Lily was able to locate a blood relative of James. The snag, he is a Vampire. According to Severus, Slayers blood is needed for a cure. Once she gathers the nesacery ingredients along with the blood curing the vampire will be simple. Than she will be able to de-age him back to an infant solving her problem affectively.

It took a few months, the Slayer was slippery, stupid though. Didn't take long to down her and steal the blood. Useless little girl thought she could take her on with muggle means. Pathetic.

Should anyone check James will come across as the father, not that anyone would check such an act would be taken as a blood feud.

The spell was forbidden for a reason, it's not like being able to tell how one got their magic is possible.

Many years have passed since the Power's interfered in the ritual to restore balance. Since than Harry had been trapped beneath the ruins of the town. Living on the scraps his clan brings him Harry just wants to be free. By his calculation another 15 years and the circle will be weakened enough to safely leave.

No more waiting, having to eat used food since Darla can't not sample the wares. Luke is his only good child. Woman are useless.

Once he gets out he will find himself another child preferably male. It's not like Darly has ever done anything right. He saved the girl because he needed a female at the time. He should have killed her when she was no longer needed. Hindsight.

Darla made Angel, the only known vampire with a soul. Like we don't already have souls. Of course we have souls otherwise we would be nothing more than zombies. The stupidity of people. Angel is pathetic. Though if the child ever came to him he would help. Harry did what he could for the clan, he never once forced his childier to stay with him. Darla, Luke and Yuki all had the right to go as they please. Yuki is still in Japan, Harry wasn't stupid he knows how dangerous it is to have a Slayer as his child. Which is why he has a loyalty spell on her should she ever betray him the spell will dust her.

Luke will never leave him. He really needs to get that boy a girlfriend or boyfriend he don't judge he's to old for that nonsense.

Maybe a witch?

Luke could pretend to love one for the cause, but he wants his child to be happy and find something real. Not Luke then but definitely someone.

A Slayer tried to kill him (how she found him, he had no idea) he tricked her into crossing the circle. Her death would have powered the ritual but it was no longer needed. At least with him inside if he could have gotten out hell yeah the bitch would have been used to complete the spell. He may have been nice, but hello demon.

A sudden quake ripped through the chamber, he was trapped within the circle, masonry fell down around him bouncing off the barrier crashing onto the floor. The ground around him rippling, shaking, breaking apart leaving him stranded in the spell circle.

Harry really hoped the sun didn't get through.

Harry never noticed the young women staring at him, his sole concentration on the ceiling praying it was night and he wasn't about to perish in such a stupid way.

Pain, white hot agony pierced his very being. He could feel his demon being confined, feel... was his blood pulsing, was that his heart he heard beating. NO! that wasn't possible his body couldn't be, he couldn't be...

Alive!

With that thought darkness claimed him.

Lily cuddled the baby close to her heart. Her spell worked, she successfully changed a vampire back into a living human being. The potion turned back the clock de-aging him to an infant, days old she believed. Now all she had to do was get James to drink this potion and he would never question her on where the child came from.

The little ones memories were safely tucked away, unfortunately Lily didn't have the power to completely erase another's memories she could hide them away though.

"Come little one lets meet your father he must be wondering where we are."

She really should thank Severus for his help, but that's what minions are for.

Using the portkey Lily made it back to Godric's Hollow. James wouldn't be home till later she had plenty of time.

James would never know he didn't have a son, that his wife cared so little for what was right.

Lily loved James, too much. She let her magic control her, like so many Muggleborns before her she fell for it's seductive pull and it held on eating her alive. Magic needs balance a human doesn't have what it take to control magic for long. Muggleborns are human, while a pureblood is a being born of magic.

Harry James Potter was born on July 31st 1980. No one had known Lily was even pregnant.
