I DO NOT own the characters of Harry Potter nor the characters of THE ORIGINALS, they belong to Miss. JK Rowling and Miss. Julie Plec (writer/producer/creator of TVD and THE ORIGINALS show on the CW). I only own the plot of this story and my OC characters. I DO NOT make any profit from this, I'm only doing this solely for fun which is why we are all here.

***Hi everyone! I have to say I've gotten so many private messages of people asking me if I would write a HP/ORIGINALS crossover that it got my head turning. After about seven months of going back and forth I finally have a concept. I loved the thought of The First Original Family meeting The Royal Wizarding Family (Potters/Malfoy family). What would happen? Why would Harry and his family end up in New Orleans? ? Would they like it? Will they meet long lost family there? How would they find the city? The supernatural life that thrives thereHow would they handle the established supernatural rules of the city? How will they handle living there with all the chaos of witches, werewolves, vampires in the city that revolves around The Mikaelson Family? How will Harry react that the guy he developed feelings for on vacation is there in that city and that he belongs to THIS particular family? How will this person react to him being there in the city? Will this persons family bring danger and harm to HIS family? Is Harry and his family willing to go into war again? … All these questions popped into my head and I thought "Oh… There's something here." ***Also 1) Since the Kol #2 was called Kaleb on the show, the Kol #2 here in my story will be called Daniel, in honor of Daniel Sharman who played Kol #2 him in season 2, that way it's not confusing with my OC, Caleb. 2) The story will begin + or – like SHADOWS OF MYSTIC FALLS but it will then take a different direction with the story. *** As usual please submit your reviews and I will be answering them as we move forward! This is a loooooong one. Here we go! ***

After Harry defeats Voldemort he returned to Hogwarts with his friends, for a 8th year, to complete his education. Voldemort, unfortunately, got one last laugh when he cursed Harry, Draco, Caleb and Hermione with the SEMPRE VIVE CURSE, the immortal life curse, cursing them with immortal life, where they will be protected from death , it thankfully wouldn't affect their future creature inheritances.

Hogwarts extended it's schooling permanently from seven years to eight at Ministry request. Everyone was trying move forward and rebuild what was broken. Ron and most of the Weasleys had grown apart, especially since Harry broke up Ginny given that he came out as gay in his sixth year and Ron dumped Hermione when she took Harrys side.

By the end of 8th year Harry was excited to be leaving Hogwarts for good. Professor Alfred Tipton, the History of Magic professor, assigned everyone to do a family history tree so the students could learn of their family ancestry and learn where they came from. He gathered everyone in the classroom for the final project. A lot of them had found out that they were descendants from the Founders of Hogwarts including Draco and Hermione herself, which made Ron even angrier. It finally came time for Harry to present his family tree. By the end of his presentation it was revealed everyone was gawking.

"When Sirius escaped Azkaban in my third year he revealed to me I had a biological older brother, his name is Caleb James Cromwell, the Count of Hexton." Everyone was quiet digesting that Harry's brother was a high ranking noble aristocrat from their world, and one of the best Slytherins, best in a good way, to ever graduate from Hogwarts. "He is three years older than me so he's twenty one now. After we met he told me that our parents Lord James and Liliana Potter, had planed to give us in adoption to their friends Lord Henry Cromwell and Lady Elizabeth Cromwell, the Countess of Hexton to protect us from Voldemort. Sirius told us they took Caleb first because my mom wanted one more night with me and well… you know what happened then." Everyone was quiet and nodding in understanding. "After he was vindicated during my fifth year Sirius became our guardian. He performed a magical blood ritual on both me and Caleb, using our blood, to make us official blood/magical/legal members and living heirs of the Black Family." said Harry. Everyone gasped. "Therefore with Potters, Evans and Blacks blood running in my veins I am descendant of not two but three founding families of Hogwarts." Students and teachers gasped at this, Ron was fuming while Hermione was eating it up, Dracos ears perked up to this. Harry sensed the tension in the air. "So in conclusion… I traced my fathers family, the Potters, back to Godric Gryffindor. My mothers family, the Evans, back to Rowena Ravenclaw and the Black family back to Salazar Slytherin. This explains why after Voldemort died I still possessed the gift of parseltongue. He never gave me the power as many thought, it was passed down to me from Salazar himself in our blood." He took a breath as he saw 90% of Gryffindor house look at him with disdain, the other 10% with interest and respect. "Given that I am the legal, blood and magical living son and heir to Sirius Black I am also second cousin Draco Malfoy…" Everyone started chattering while Draco looked up with him with awe, fascination and pride. "…and nephew to Lucius Malfoy. And not just me but also Caleb and…Hermione too."

Ron was fumbling in his seat. "What?!"

"Quiet!" called Prof. Tipin. "Do explain Mr. Potter."

"Before the war began last year, Hermione obliviated her parents memories to protect them from the Deatheaters. As we all know the Obliviate Charm, is irrevocable. Hermione was basically an orphan and alone in the world. I loved her, and love her, as a sister so I offered to make it official…" The class was silent. "…Unfortunately I couldn't find the blood ritual Sirius used on Caleb and me, but we adopt her legally and magically Hermione which is, minus the blood link, basically the same thing in terms of permanently bonding families together as one. So joining of our family and magic with hers and hers with ours she became Hermione G. Potter. As you all know by her earlier presentation, she was only descendant from Helga Hufflepuff, by her mother's family, which is where she gets her magic from…" Everyone nodded. "…But now given our bond, all three of us, four if you count my brother, are now descendants of all four founders of Hogwarts. Also… given our now relation to Sirius Black, all three of us are now second cousins to Draco Malfoy. Except Hermione who is only related by magical law and magic." There was silence. "I…I guess that's it."

Half the room applauded, the other was too shocked to believe their ears. Harry walked off the podium of the classroom and took a seat next to Hermione. They turned to look at Draco who nodded his head saying we'll talk later.

Professor McGonagall stepped up to the podium. "Well… This is quite a surprise Mr. Potter." She composed herself. "Everyone congratulations! I hope this was educational enlightening and may it serve as a lesson to always protect your magical family legacy and magical lineage." The Hogwarts bells started to chime marking the end of the school year. "You are all free go up to your dormitories and pack your trunks. Graduation is tonight in the Great Hall during the farewell feast." She smiled. "It has been an honor teaching you all these eight years and to see the future leaders of our world, may you protect it from darkness always." After great applause everyone started walking out.

Harry was received in Gryffindor House by a mob and was beat up. When Snape, McGonagall and Hermione met him downstairs they were shocked when they saw him limp in all bruised. "Harry what happened?" asked Hermione.

"I'm fine." said Harry. "The Gryffindors didn't like me being descendant of Slytherin not to mention that we are cousins to Malfoy."

"Really Potter." said McGonagall. "This is unforgivable. To assault a student on school grounds…"

Snape jumped in." …but to assault a descendant of all four founders in your own home is enough to revoke their school diplomas and have them all arrested!"

"No please Professor." said Harry. "Don't. It will only cause more trouble."

"Are you sure?" asked McGonagall. "It is school policy to do so."

"Yes." said Harry. "Please."

Draco walked in with Blaise. "Merlin, Potter, what happened to you?"

"Gryffindors." said Hermione.

"Really?" asked Blaise.

Draco took out his wand and pointed it at Harry. "EPISKEY MAXIMA" With a quick hard snap and crack Harry was fully healed.

"Urgh…" said Harry. "Thanks Malfoy."

"Well…" said McGonagall. "It's time. Please go in and take your seats."

After graduation the eighth years made their way down the hill, through the forest road, towards the Hogwarts train station. Harry Draco and Hermione made their way across the main courtyard. They wore their graduation robes and conical witch hats, which was the symbol of their official adult initiation into the Wizarding World.

Snape walked out to meet them. "Congratulations."

"Thank you professor." said Hermione.

"Really Miss. Potter, you are official adults and graduates of this school." said Snape. "You can call me Severus." Hermione gave him a small smile. "I'd like to apologize for treating you and Harry the way I have. I do not push my students to the limit, unless I know they have potential." Harry nodded. "Besides I'd like to get to know you all better. We are family after all."

"Family?" asked Harry.

"Well given that I am Draco's magical and legal godfather and given that the magical blood ritual permanently linked the Potter, Black and Malfoy families together once and for all, you are all now his cousins. I'd like to be your godfather too." said Snape. All three graduates smiled. "If you'll have me."

Harry looked at Hermione. "We'd like that very much." she said.

"Good." said Snape, giving them a small smile. They knew they'd have to get used to each other before he genuinely felt comfortable to show his emotions. "I also wanted to tell you that given that you are all, Lord Cromwell and Draco included, descendants of all four founders of Hogwarts by the laws of magical inheritance you are all the legitimate and absolute owners of all the founders estates around the world, their vaults at Gringotts, all their properties throughout the country as well as Hogwarts itself. Making you the equivalent of royalty. The first royal family of the British wizarding world since the founders time."

"What?!" asked Harry, Draco and Hermione in unison.

"By now the entire wizarding world as well as their contacts in the muggle world know who you are." said Snape. "They will treat you with respect and protect you to the best of their abilities."

"Seriously?" asked Draco.

"Yes." said Snape. "Should you ever need help, the school, the founders and everyone within its walls will come to your aid."

"Wicked." said Draco.

"Yes…" said Snape. "Where are you all going now?"

"Well…"said Harry. "…We haven't really talked about it yet. We really do need to talk." He turned to Draco and Hermione. "Would you all like to come to Grimmauld Place for a few weeks? We can get to know each other and maybe walk around London."

"Anywhere you say Harry." said Hermione.

"You all go on now. Get some rest." He turned to Draco. "I'm sorry about Lucius and Narcissa Draco, but remember you have me and now your three new cousins." Draco nodded, he gave the blond a hug. Harry and Hermione put their arms around Draco in support as the three made their way to the train station.

#12 GRIMMAULD PLACE, LONDON – As soon as they flooed through the fireplace Hermione went to make some tea, Harry went to make sandwiches. Draco levitated all their luggage upstairs before looking around Draco had to ask. "Is this Grimmauld Place?"

"Yeah." said Harry. "Why?"

"Nothing. It's just that I remember it much gloomier and worn." said Draco.

Hermione looked around and she noticed Grimmauld place though still dark, was perfectly clean with a lighter tone and air to it. "It's true Harry."

"Kreacher delighted in fixing it up." said Harry. "I've let him have free reign over the house to make it look better. He did this before I send him to work at Hogwarts."

"Well it worked." said Hermione. Harry led them to the drawing room where a warm fire waited and comfortable sofas, he carried a trey of sandwiches and Draco helped Hermione with the tea.

"Before we even get started." said Draco. "I'd like to start by apologize to you Harry and you Hermione for everything I put you through. I know it must have been horrible."

"It was." said Hermione. "But I think if the war taught us anything it's that those things were childish rivalries and nonsense that at the end of the day doesn't matter at all, plus you had your circumstances at home with Lucius and your mom, Harry had his with the Dursleys and that doesn't matter now… I forgive you."

Harry nodded. "And despite out animosity, it's doesn't beat a psycho killing dark wizard who was set on killing every last one of us. As for me, I forgive you too, Draco and I don't care what people say about it. I mean, you saw how quickly Gryffindors turned on me. It surprised me of course, I expected more from them. But who cares, I'm happy to call you family."

Draco smiled, it was the first time Harry used his name, and despite the fact they had called a truce in their sixth year, it was the first time he felt he was legitimately forgiven and accepted by Harry. "Thank you." He got tear eyed. "It means a lot to me, especially after Bellatrix killed my mom. I'm glad I have family to support me." Harry and Hermione walked over, sat down next to him and hugged him.

"We are a family now." said Hermione.

"And family sticks together." said Harry. "No matter what."

After eating the sandwiches and chatting over tea, Draco was beat. "How about we get some sleep?

"Good idea.' said Harry.

"I'm exhausted." said Hermione.

They went upstairs to their rooms, changed clothes and dropped on their respective beds to sleep.

The next day Harry Draco and Hermione were in the kitchen making brunch when they heard the floo network open. Into the kitchen walked Caleb Potter, Harry and Hermione's 21 year older brother and High Auror. He had a very dark traumatic past with Deatheaters during the war, which horribly affected his creature inheritance and manifested in him having a very dark side that is quite vicious and deadly. Caleb was tall, handsome, a well muscled build which was a carbon copy of Chris Evans in Captain America, ivory cream skin, long, smooth, he has 25 inch long, layered, glossy, voluptuous dark midnight blue hair, high cheekbones, a smooth jawline and vibrant bright iceberg blue eyes, which he got from his father James. "Good morning all." He smiled, though he looked exhausted.

"Good morning." said Hermione. "Tea? Coffee?"

"Coffee please." said Caleb. He looked up at Draco. "Hi Draco."

"Hi Caleb." said Draco. He and Caleb were friends at Hogwarts, them both being in Slytherin, Caleb becoming a big brother figure to him and he hadn't seen him much since before Caleb's encounter with the Deatheaters and they hadn't talked since Harry gave his family tree presentation at school.
Caleb walked over. "Don't I get a hug?" He opened his arms. "Cousin?" He smiled. Draco smiled and ran over hugging him tight. "I want you to know that I loved you like a friend when we met, and now that we are family I love you more. You are a little brother to me, I love you and you can always count on me." Draco nodded feeling tears. "Hey…" He looked at Draco. "What's with the tears?"

"It's just. This is the first time I've felt like I belonged to a family." said Draco. "You know how things were with me at home with mother and father and Deatheaters coming and going. You know from experience how Deatheaters torture can be and what it's like serving them against your will. You know how hard it is to show emotion…" Caleb nodded. "Love and affection was something alien to me and now it's a blessing."

"It was something alien to me too, for a long time, I fight that darkness within me every day, but thanks to Harry he brought me back to the light and now here we are." said Caleb. "We will fight our darkness and our inner demons together."

"Get used to it Draco." said Harry, joining in on the hug.

Hermione followed. "You're stuck with us now."

"Forever." said Harry.

"Literally…" grinned Caleb. They all laughed.

Draco smiled, forever with his new cousins wasn't so bad it was actually wonderful. He couldn't imagine losing any one of them. He let go of them to compose himself. "So coffee." They laughed.

"Yes please." said Caleb.

Harry suddenly noticed Calebs hair. "What's with the dark midnight blue hair?"

"A potion gone wrong." said Caleb.

"Are you changing it back?" asked Draco

"No." said Caleb. "I kinda like it. It goes well with the monster that I am."

Hermione and Draco looked at him. "You're not a monster Caleb." They said unanimously.

"Tell that to the intern I scared out the door today." said Caleb.

"What happened?" asked Harry.

"A dragon crisis up in Norway that threatened to cross over to the UK. They asked me to make a dragon sleeping potion to control them and well, the first batch went wrong… hence the blue hair." Caleb explained. "Charlie Weasley helped, he had some spare potions stocked up in Romania. The intern got cocky with a teenage Chinese Firebolt and I had to use my…other form to pull him out. He freaked and quit to work in the Magical Correspondence Department."

"What do you think happened with your potion?" asked Draco.

"They were old ingredients." said Caleb. "I imagine with everything that happened with the war the Ministry had no chance to check the potion ingredients. But I still sent in my complaint."

"Good." said Draco. "You're lucky it was you and just your hair, anyone else could've died. And in regards to your hair, I think it looks cool." said Draco.

Caleb chuckled. "Thanks."

"Well, besides the dragons and your hair and spooking an intern, anything else?" asked Hermione giving him his coffee.

"Nope." said Caleb. "I'm just tired."

"Will you be staying?" asked Harry.

"Yes." said Caleb. "I've got a good lot of vacation stocked up and decided to used them. So you're stuck with me for a while."

"Yes!" they all said in unison as Draco flipped the pancakes. He was actually liking cooking by hand.

Over the next few days they spend their time eating breakfast walking around London and having lunch before returning home to lounge around the house. They then took a few weeks off and traveled to Germany and Finland and then down to Italy to visit Blaise before returning home to Britain.

They settled into a warm family life, all happy to have one another. Soon time passed, 8 years passed and now all of them now 25 years old, 28 years old for Caleb, found themselves with jobs at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Draco and Harry were High Aurors while Hermiones brilliance and high IQ made her Deputy Head of the department itself. They had decided to remain at Grimmauld Place since it was the place they felt safest. Their relationship grew so much that that they finally became the family they always wanted. It was a dream come true for all of them, especially for Draco.

One Saturday afternoon they arrived home, all had tea and went off to their personal offices. Caleb walked into Dracos office wearing his Auror uniform. Besides his Deatheater tattoo on his inner left wrist he also has another tattoo on his inner right wrist called the Snaca, which is the old English word for snake, a tattoo of two serpents, symmetrically wrapped together in a Celtic knot, biting each others tails. A tattoo Draco also has. He turned on the lights and noticed Draco sitting behind his desk tear eyed. "Everything ok Drake?"

Draco looked up, he was now tall, slenderly muscled, with long smooth platinum blond hair, like his late father Lucius, tied in a ponytail wearing his Auror uniform. "Yeah." clearing his eyes.

"Right…" said Caleb. "Come on sister, what's up?"

Harry walked in, he was also tall just as tall as Draco around 5 foot eleven with a slender but well built body, though slightly buffer then Draco. His hair was longer like he had it in his fourth year during the Triwizard Tournament. Like Draco and Caleb they wore their auror uniforms.

"I got a letter and package from my aunt." said Draco.

"Your aunt?" asked Harry.

"Andromeda Black." said Draco.

"What happened?" asked Caleb.

"Many years ago, after her husband Edward Tonks died and she was blackballed from the Black family, she remarried an American pureblood named Peter Claire. They had a daughter, Davina who was kidnapped by two Bellatrix's henchmen who followed her to America." Said Draco.

"Why did they do that?" asked Harry.

"To pressure her into joining the dark order." said Draco. "Aunt Andromeda is a very powerful witch."

"I know." said Harry. "It always freaked me out that she looked like Bellatrix, they could be indentical twins…physically I mean. Though Andromeda is much more beautiful, even now at 45." He noticed he had interrupted. "Sorry."

"No, it's alright, it's true." said Draco. "So ever since the fall of Voldemort, and the war coming to an end, she and I have been trying to find Davina. After Tonks, Lupin and Teddy died, this is her only reason for living." He looked at Harry. "Thank you for restoring us to the Black Family Tree, with the Malfoy fortune gone I don't know how we could've done this without the Black money to help."

"Sure." said Harry.

"So what happened?" asked Caleb. "The investigation came to dead end. She's no where to be found in Britain or Europe which means we'll have to expand our search to America…We're gonna start in the place where they lived, in New Orleans…It just hurts me to see her so sad." He sighed. "I'm exhausted, can someone please change the subject."

"Why did you come in Harry?" asked Caleb.

"Oh. Um I booked us all on a trip." said Harry.

"A trip?" asked Caleb. "To where?"

"On the Seven Seas Cruise Line. Hermione booked us all." said Harry. "She sent me these…" He took out the brochures and put them on Dracos desk. "I know, it's a muggle cruise line, but I figured we all want a vacation and a good rest, and that includes a vacation and rest from magic."

"It's fine Harry." said Draco. "As long as everything is first class. I don't mind, father was the one who tried to drill all that 'hate everything muggle' into my head. Don't get me wrong I prefer the wizarding life 110% over muggle life, but I don't hate it. It's average." He sighed with exhaustion. "And if it's first class, I wouldn't mind going average for a week or so."

Harry smiled. "Caleb."

"Why not." said Caleb. "Where would we be going to?"

"Yes!" said Harry. He sent his stag patronus to Hermione. "We will be going to the north of Spain, up the northeastern and north coast of France across English Channel and back home again."

"How long is this cruise?" asked Caleb.

"One, maybe two weeks?" said Harry.

"Who cares, of course it doesn't matter." said Draco. "When do we leave?"

"In about a week." said Harry. "That gives us enough time to get everything ready."

***Hi guys…Now, just a couple of things. 1) I made Hermione a Potter by law and magic and NOT blood so she could hook up with Draco romantically later. It would be too weird for them to be a couple in love and be blood cousins. 2) Yes, I killed Teddy, but only so Davina could take the babys place and link her character into the HP world. 3) I made Andromeda younger than she actually is again, so she could fit into the storyline of this story. In my story she's 45, which means she would've had to have the 19 year old Davina at 26, Tonks would've been around 25ish maybe (in my story) so that would make Andromeda 20 when she had her. 4) I usually use Narcissa and Lucius in all my stories, so I thought it would be interesting to have them die in this one and have Draco be with Andromeda as blood family, her, Davina and someone else who you will see later. 5) There is some reference to Caleb being a "monster" and something the Deatheaters did to him that horribly affected his creature inheritance so we'll see what happened later on. 6) They're going on vacation! So excited. I wonder who Harry will meet on the cruise…Hmmm? PLEASE REVIEW! ***
