Chapter 1

Isabella laughed as Tyler told her of an instance where he was caught with his pants around his ankles. "Must you be so bold, dear cousin?" She gasped out as he laughed along with her.

"I dare say you blush as a maiden in her wedding bed." He said mockingly.

"Must you jest on my behalf? You know as well as I that I cannot help the way of my speech. I've spent years in other parts of the world and realms dear cousin. It was bound to happen soon enough." She said with a pout.

"It's cool, cuz. Besides all we have to do now is wait for Kol to hurry his ass up." Tyler said as he waved a hand at her dismissively. "And I have a feeling, I'll be talking like that soon enough."

"You will. It was hard first, but you will get it soon." She said with a smile.

The ding of the bell on the door had the two turn their heads to see his old friends walk into the Grill. "Who are they to stare at us?" She muttered.

"Old friends, Dear Bella. Just old friends. Ones that have turned their backs on me and I shall do the same." He said with a sneer to them at the end. The shocked faces of his old friends amused him to no end.

He could hear Caroline asking who his friend was and he shook his head. They waited for a few more minutes before the bell rang out again and the Scooby gang froze in place.

Kol sauntered over and plopped down beside Isabella, only to pull her to his side in a hug. "Now what's all this talk of an adventure?" He asked as he took Isabella's drink from the table and took a swig.

"The question is 'do you want to go?'" Tyler asked as Kol looked to him and then back to her.

"Where are we going first?" He asked as he stared at Isabella, who had a cheeky grin on her face.

"First we head to another realm, that is somewhat related to this one." She said and he gave a short nod.

"You do realize if I don't tell my family they will go crazy over my disappearance once again?" He asked and they both nodded.

"Alright, to the Mikaelson mansion." Tyler said as he stood up and pulled Bella up as she giggled.

"Fine, let's do this quickly and then we can go." Kol agreed as the three of them swept out of the grill, never once did they noticed the shocked faces of Tyler's former friends.

The moment they arrived the door had flown open and there stood four pairs of eyes. "Isabella?" A gasp sounded from the youngest Mikaelson sibling. "Is that really you?"

"Bekah." Bella said as she rushed to the door and pulled Bekah out to hug her tightly.

"Where in the hell have you been?" A deep voice asked from the side of them and she was pulled into a pair of strong arms. She inhaled deeply and knew it was Elijah.

"'Lijah." She sighed out as she was then pulled into another pair. Her eyes closed still and she knew from scent it was Niklaus.

"Why have you not been around, Dearest Bella?" Niklaus muttered out in question as he buried his face in her hair. "I have missed you so much."

"I'm sorry, my love." She whispered out as she pulled back slightly to look him in the eyes. Still the same deep blue eyes that she had first fell in love with. "I have had dealings with other supernatural creatures. Tyler, Kol and I have to be going soon. Unless you wish to accompany us on this journey."

Niklaus looked to Tyler and then to Kol. "I've just got you back. You'll not leave my side again, my love." He said with a smirk.

She beamed up at him and he knew he made the right decision. "Where are we off to, Love?" He asked as he turned his eyes over his family.

"Westeros, of course, Lord Mikaelson. But we have few stops to make first." She said as looked to the side of the house.

Nik smiled brightly. It had been years since they were there last, almost twenty. He remembered the last time they were there and shook his head. He wondered if Ned and that idiotic friend of his were alright. He also wondered how Lady Lyanna was and Prince Rhaegar.

Nik smirked and looked to his mate as he nodded his head. "It would be good to see Ned again."

"That's what I was thinking." Bella said as she turned to Kol and Tyler.

"Be careful all of you." Elijah said as they all nodded.

Bella moved away from them and threw a clear looking object. A zipping sound was heard before a round portal opened up to them. The other side of the portal was dark and they couldn't see anything. She grinned wildly as she turned to the other three. "Shall we?"

Kol and Nik gave their family hugs and took off to where Tyler and Bella were standing in front of the portal. Nik grabbed Bella's had as Tyler grabbed her other. Tyler looked to Kol and held out his hand. Kol scoffed before he picked it up and held on tight. "Together?" Bella asked as they all nodded before they spoke in unison.

"Together." The four of them walked slowly and moved passed the portal.

End of final battle

Right after Voldemort's death

Harry looked up as a crack clashed out from beside him in the courtyard. He turned swiftly to the sound and held the Elder wand at the ready. He watched as portal opened and his eyes widened slightly as a smile of relief made its way onto his face.

Four people walked through the portal and he ran to the one in the middle of them. He felt arms wrap around him as he hugged the body tightly to him. "Bella." He sighed out as she ran her hand through his hair.

"Did I miss it?" She asked curiously and he laughed.

"It's over, Bella. I've defeated him." He said as he pulled back to look upon her face.

"Oh, if I had known, I'd have been her sooner, Harry." She said as she placed her hands on either side of his face to look him over.

"I'm fine, Bella." He said as he slapped away her fussing hands.

"Harry?" Hermione's voice sounded from behind him and he turned to see his best friends with a look of awe on their faces, as matter of fact, everyone's faces were looks of awe.

"Everyone this is Isabella Mikaelson." He said as they all just stared. Bella smiled and bowed to them all dramatically.

"Are you ready to go, Harry?" Bella asked as he looked back to her and then glanced to his friends. His heart hurt, but he knew this day was coming.

"Do you think Jamie will remember me?" He asked quietly.

"I'm sure he will, Harry." Nik said as Harry finally looked over to him. Harry smiled widely before he launched himself into Nik's arms.

"Uncle Nik!" Harry said loudly as he laughed.

"A man of seventeen shouldn't be acting like a child, Harry." Isabella admonished with a smile.

Harry felt his face heat up with embarrassment as he pulled back from Nik's embrace. "You're right, Aunt Bella."

Nik looked to his mate and shook his head. "Say your good byes, Love and then we'll be going." She said as he nodded his head.

Harry turned to Hermione and Ron with tears in his eyes. "I'm guessing this is goodbye?" She asked as he nodded with a small sad smile.

"For now." He said as he turned to look them over. "I don't know when I'll be back, but I know I will."

"Harry, hurry now, we'll be late if we don't leave now." Bella said as he nodded.

"Coming." He said as he summoned his moleskin bag and chest to him. He shrunk his chest and placed it in his pocket. He had already had everything packed and ready to go. He knew she was coming and had wanted to be ready. "Be good, guys."

Hermione held back a sob and Ron sniffed as he hugged his friend tightly. The three of them had been through so much and now it was over. He was leaving and they weren't sure what was going to happen.

He ran over to Bella and took up her hand. He grabbed Tyler's hand and soon they were all on their way to the Land of Westeros.

298 AC

The North

Winterfell Castle

Eddard Stark looked over his grim castle before his grey eyes landed on his older children as they taught one of the younger ones to shoot a bow and arrow.

His lady wife, Catelyn Stark, stood beside him and they jested at how unlikely it was that their second born, Brandon 'Bran' Stark, would be able to hit the target.

Jon stark watched as his younger brother pulled back on the string and gripped it tightly. His bow arm was taut with tension. He was about to loose the arrow when another arrow sailed passed him and hit the target. Everyone turned to look and saw a hooded woman standing there with a bow in her hand. She wore, not a dress, but breeches and tunic. Slight armor and behind her stood four more men.

"Forgive me, Young Lord Stark, I've not had to shoot a bow in quite some time." She said as Jon and Robb looked to one another. Eddard's eyes shot to where the voice emerged and saw the last person he expected to see.

"Lady Izabel Mikaelson." Eddard's voice was in awe and his Lady wife shot him a small glare. Eddard moved quickly and raced down the stairs.

The moment he was before her, she bowed and then looked up to him. He returned the gesture. "My Lady Izabel." He said with a stoic voice.

"Now, now, my Quiet Wolf. Is that anyway to greet your adopted sister?" Izabel asked as Eddard let a smile grace his face and picked her up in a hug, only to swing her in a circle. A laugh escaped his throat as a giggle escaped hers.

"My sister, Izabel, where have you been?" He asked jovially.

"Exploring, Dear Brother. Exploring. You, of course, remember my husband." She said as Nik walked forward and grasped Eddard's hand firmly.

"Nik, it's good to see you again." Eddard said as Niklaus smiled genuinely.

"It is good to find you in good health, Ned." Niklaus said as he looked around the castle. "What has happened?"

Eddard's face grew solemn and looked to his two best friends. "Come, to my solar, I'll tell you all that you have missed. But first, you must meet my family. Some of them."

Izabel looked over to see Lady Catelyn Tully as she stood next to two of the children. Eddard took her over to his children. "Cat, this is my adopted sister, Izabel Mikaelson. She was a Stark and legitimized by King Aerys himself. It was a favor to my father, our father. Izabel this is my Lady wife, Catelyn Stark, formerly a Tully. This is my eldest, Robb, this is Bran. Cat if you'll excuse us, I must speak with my sister and her family." Catelyn looked to Izabel and frowned.

Izabel on the other hand looked to Ned and said, "I'll be back in a moment, if you'll be in Father's solar, I know the way. I'll catch up. Go ahead and tell Nik what has happened, little brother."

Ned nodded and showed the other's the way as they left. She could hear Ned and Nik speaking about other matters.

Izabel looked over to the lonesome boy that stood there with a frown on his face. She hadn't noticed that Harry had stayed with her. She looked to the boy and then to her nephew and sighed.

"You, boy, what is your name?" She asked and the boy looked up.

"Jon Snow, Milady." He said as he saw her eyes widen.

"Come here, Jon." She said as he hurried to her, but kept his eyes down.

None of them noticed that Robb had stayed behind as well.

"Are you Ned's?" She asked.

"Yes, I am." He said quietly.

"Are you ashamed of it?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"No, Milady, I couldn't ever be." He said as he stood up tall. The glint in his grey eyes told of Stark heritage to be sure, but she was sure she had seen that jawline once before and it was not of a Stark, but a….

"Now I see. Hadrian, go and tell your father that we'll be leaving in two moon cycles. Unless, if by chance some unfortunate circumstance calls us away." Izabel said as Harry nodded in acquiescence before he took off.

"Yes, mother." He said before he took off toward the sound of his, now, uncles and 'father'. He actually didn't mind having them as parents. He thought back to when they had first arrived in this realm.

Flashback

Two moons ago

Harry looked around and saw nothing but snow and trees.

"It must have been a mild winter, Lady Mikaelson." Nik said as they all looked around.

"Mild? You call this mild?" Kol asked as he sloshed around in the snow. "It's like bloody Christmas threw up on all the trees!"

"Kol, do shut up. The winters, summers, springs and falls last for years here. The sun also rises in the West not the east here." Bella said as she shook her head. "Ty, are you okay?"

"I don't know, I'm in another realm. I don't know what half the lingo that goes on here. So I'm a little freaked." Tyler said as he looked to Harry, who had just pulled out his wand and made a fire.

"To Moat Cailin. I want to know what's happened to my castle." She said as she looked to Harry and he nodded.

"We're going home?" Harry asked as Nik smiled.

"That's right we're going home." Nik said as she turned to his brother and Tyler. "But first we must find names that fit you. Harry….Hadrian would be best I think. You'll be our son. You look more like Izabel than me anyway. Then that leaves Kol and Tyler. Kolton Mikaelson and Tydus Mikaelson."

"You're making me a Mikaelson?" Tyler asked shocked.

"Trust me, our name holds power, even here." Nik said as they all turned to Izabel.

"When I was eight I had ran away from my mom's house. I ended up in a town that no one knows aobut. A man gave me seven heavy bags. Each bag had these clear beans in them. I didn't know what they did, so I threw one into the lake. I didn't really think of anything at the time and I ended up here. Lord Rickard Stark found me wondering around and took me home to Winterfell. I spent two years here. I returned home as often as I could, but I always came here. When I turned twenty four I met Nik. We mated and all that good stuff. What I'm trying to tell you is that time moves differently in all realms. As I hadn't been back to our realm in almost six years, but Tyler thought I'd only been gone four weeks. I hadn't seen Harry in almost six years. Nik and I had taken him from James and Lily the night they died. We'd came here and he was but a babe. We lived her for four years, but we knew we had to take him back because of his prophecy. It was hard, but I think he's became such a good man, that and I'm so proud of him." She explained and Harry felt the tale tell blush creep onto his cheeks.

Time Skip

It had taken them a fortnight to make it to Moat Cailin. The ruins were nothing like what she remembered. "Harry do you remember what our home looked like?" She asked and he nodded in affirmation.

He moved the elder wand and tried to remember the pictures that they left with him. The paintings of Moat Cailin in its glorious past. As the building rumbled and started to rebuild itself with the help of Bella who opened her hand wide and place them on the ground a snapping twig was heard and Kol turned quickly as he brandished his sword.

"Who goes there?" He asked as a man moved around a tree to be seen.

"Lord Howland? Is that you?" Nik asked as he moved closer and waved his brother off.

"Lord Niklaus." Howland Reed said as he kneeled before Nik.

"Get up, Howland." Nik said as he gave Howland a smile.

"I'd heard voices. I came to check it out." Howland said as he looked around to see that the castle was already halfway built back up. "I will still never get over your Lady wife doing magic."

"It seems our son has inherited, my Lady wife's skill for the art. He is helping her." Nik said as he saw Kol and Tyler looked to him in surprise. Nik turned back to the crannogman and smiled once again. "How had you been, my friend. It has been ages since I've last looked upon your face."

"I've been well, Milord. It was a sad thing to watch the castle crumble in disarray, but now that you have returned home, I am sure it will be back to its former glory." Howland said with a soft smile. "And you have son."

"Hadrian, come here a moment." Nik called as Harry moved to his side. "This is Howland Reed, Lord Howland Reed, an old friend of mine."

"How are you, Lord Reed?" Harry asked as he bowed his head as he had been taught on the ride down.

"A good young man you seem to be. You have your father's manners about you." Howland said as Harry smiled and nodded.

"Thank you sir."

"Go back to helping your mother, Hadrian." Nik said as Harry nodded and scurried off to find his pseudo mother.

"A strapping boy you got there, Lord Niklaus." Howland said as Nik nodded.

"Yes, indeed. Tell me of all that has happened since we've been traveling." Nik said as he and Howland walked away.

Harry turned to Izabel and saw she had a small smile on her face. "Mother, what is the matter?"

Izabel smiled softly as she stood up and ran her fingers through Harry's mane. "Nothing, my son. Absolutely nothing."

"Come, nephew, we'll let your mother rest and regain her strength and I'll teach you how to use that sword at your hip." Kolten said as Hadrian looked to his 'mother'. Not pseudo any longer. She was his mother. She had promised him when he turned 11 that she would return and they'd be a family. He'd kept that promise close to his heart. Even Sirius didn't know about it. Nik wasn't Uncle Nik any longer, but his Lord Father.

"Yes, Uncle Kol." Hadrian said as he settled himself into this new life and second chance he was given.

End flashback

Hadrian found his Lord Father and his uncles were in deep conversation, while he was hesitant to interrupt them, he knew his father would appreciate the gesture from his mother more. He knocked a bit quietly and the four of them looked to the door.

"Hadrian? What is the matter, son?" Nik asked as Hadrian looked up to him.

"Mother said that we were to stay for two moon cycles, unless something calls us away." Hadrian said in a strong voice that belied the nervousness he felt.

Nik looked to his son and nodded. "I have completely forgotten to introduce you to your Uncle Eddard. Ned this is my son, Hadrian Mikaelson. Hadrian, your Uncle Eddard Stark."

Eddard looked over the boy and nodded. His grey eyes looked up to Hadrian's bright green ones. The green of his eyes were reminiscent of Lannister eyes, but they didn't have that sharp disdain that he had grown used to seeing. The boy was not too tall, but seemed to still be growing. "I'm sure you'll get along with Robb and Jon, while you're here." Eddard said with a nod to the boy.

"Tydus, go with your nephew and keep him protected will you?" Nik asked as Ty looked at him with a nod.

"Come Nephew, maybe we'll find some chaos to sew." Ty said as everyone laughed and they took off out of the door.

It was at that moment that Ser Rodrik Cassel decided to make his presence known. "Lord Stark, I have news."

Ned and Nik looked to him and Ned motioned for him to continue. Ser Rodrik cleared his throat and spoke. "They've caught a deserter of the Night's Watch." His voice grew grim as he looked over to his Lord.

Ned stiffened ever so slightly before Nik placed an arm on his shoulder. "We'll ride with you. It's overdue that my son should know how things are carried out in the North." Nik said as he thought to himself. Something doesn't seem right here. Something's off, but not sure what.

Kol watched in amazement as his older brother played his role perfectly. It was something that he would have never imagined could happen. It was something else to watch. His best friend played so perfect the role of a Lady and Harry did so well as their son. They taught him so much in such a small amount of time. Tyler and he were amazed that the kid had just soaked it up with ease. Tyler was having a harder time, but he'd been around Isabella long enough to know how to speak the right way. He, himself, lived through the middle ages and knew how to speak, just as well as Nik could. Kol smiled to himself before he pulled on his stoic face and looked to his brother for guidance.

"Kol, retrieve Hybrid and take it to my Lady wife." Nik said as Kol nodded and took off out the door. "Make sure you saddle the horses for the ride."

Back outside with Bella

"My Lady Izabel, would it be alright if I continued with my training?" Jon asked after five minutes of her eyes scrutinizing him.

"In a moment, come with me, please. I wish to say my goodbyes to my brother and father. Accompany me, boy." She said with a voice that left no room for argument.

Robb watched in a bit of fear as his 'Aunt', one whom he'd never met or heard of, took off with his brother. He trailed behind lazily as his 'cousin' came in sight.

"Robb." Hadrian called a moment later. "Have you seen my mother?"

"She went to the Crypt to pay her respects to Grandfather and Uncle Brandon." Robb said as he turned to Hadrian.

"Then let us follow. I'm sure we'll hear something interesting, before we'll have to leave to execute the deserter." Hadrian said with solemn before he looked to see a look of shock on his Uncle's face.

"It is how it is, Nephew. Let us catch up to your mother." Ty said as they all moved forward.

In front of Rickard and Brandon's graves

"Father, I am sorry for not being here sooner. Bran, oh, my big brother. How I miss you and all your jokes. I am so sorry for not returning sooner." Izabel said with a deep sadness. She moved a little more and looked up to see Lyanna's grave. A sob escaped her mouth before two warm arms encircled her shoulders and she was pressed into a strong chest. "My little sister, Lyanna. How could you do something so stupid?" She asked as a gasp was heard from behind all of them. Izabel snapped up and looked to see her brother as he looked at her with a sad forlorn look in his eyes.

"You knew and said nothing to the boy or your Lady wife?" Izabella accused her brother as he bowed his head in shame.

"She asked me to protect him." He answered as she ran to engulf him in a hug.

"I understand wanting to protect him, but he needs to know the truth, Ned. As does your Lady wife. The disdain she shows him is uncalled for and I'll not have it any longer." Izabel said as Ned nodded his head.

The pair looked around and saw Nik, Hadrian, Tydus, Robb, and Jon look at them with something like confusion. "Jon, come here." Izabel said quietly as the echo bounced around them.

"Have I done something wrong?" Jon asked with a frown.

"No, my boy, you've done nothing of the sort. But Ned here has something to tell you." She said as Ned looked down to the boy who had become his son.

"Jon, when I was younger I had to deal with a lot thrust upon me. You are not my son. You have my blood, this is true, and you are a Stark. But you are not my son. When our sister, Lyanna, was taken by Rhaegar Targaryen I thought her lost to us. When I found her at the Tower of Joy in Dorne, she had a babe lying next to her. A boy, by the name of Jon. The last name was neither Sand, nor Snow, but Targaryen. Lyanna had run away from her betrothal to Robert Baratheon and married Rhaegar. There had been no annulment to Princess Elia so his children and you were still legitimate. You are the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna Targaryen."

Jon shook from the felt his world shatter around him. His knees wobbled as Robb placed an arm around him to steady him. "How…"

"I am sorry, Jon. I did what I thought was best to protect you. If Robert had found out that you were a dragon, he would have had you killed along with Elia and her children." Ned said sadly.

Jon nodded as he felt his stomach flip and turn. Izabel smiled sadly. "I knew the moment I looked at him. He has our dear sister's eyes, but his jaw was Rhaegar's. I know this because I used to stare at it while we were in court."

"You really liked Rhaegar that much?" Nik asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, just his jawline." She said with a smile.

"Jon, your father was one of my closest friends. He was a good man, but was also a little too emotional. He had this wit about him, but he also never completely grasped the bigger picture." Nik said as he looked to Jon, who stared at him wide eyed. "He never really contemplated the consequences of his actions like he should."

Before anything more could be said the sound of boots scraping against stone pulled them all to look to the entrance. Ser Rodrik Cassel descended the stairs and looked to Ned. "Apologies, my Lord, but the deserter is at the point now."

"Let us take our leave. Come boys, we'll speak over this later." Ned said in his deep timbre. The rest of them looked to each other before they followed the man with the somber attitude out into the yard.

Okay new story, new direction…hope you like it.
