INFLAMMARE

Wrath.

It's such a huge part of Harry's life that it sometimes amuses him when the people around him are shocked when he shows it.

Most of the time, it annoys him.

Standing around him and gaping like fools are the various reporters who felt the need to attack him with questions every time he shows himself. Behind him, the two-thirds of the golden trio shook their heads at the seemingly suicidal witches and wizards.

'Did they actually think that the death eaters run away from him due to his pretty face? Bunch of idiots.' Ron thought, backing slowly away from his best friend. Hermione simply sighed and copied his actions.

"Leave." Harry commanded icily. The 'or else' was loud and clear. Finally showing their sense of self-preservation, the mob fled from the premises, fleeing quickly from the angry magic lashing at their feet.

Hermione sighed explosively.

'Great,' she thought. 'Another night out ruined.'

Examining her best friend, Hermione could see that Harry's hold on his patience was waning, and his infamous temper was just itching to be let out.

"Would you want to spar with us, Harry?" Hermione offered silently. Harry smiled slightly at her, and nodded. "Yeah, alright."

After the Final Battle, the Golden Trio decided that they would come finish their education at Hogwarts like most of their year mates. During the vacation, the three had nightmares and could often be found huddling together at night. Torture was something that they couldn't easily erase from their minds and so they sought out ways to help themselves.

The Golden Trio went to a thoroughly remodeled Grimmauld Place, where they are staying for half of the summer vacation. They immediately changed their clothes and went to their Duel Room, a large room they have painstakingly created with magic. Without further ado, they went and picked up their equipment and activated the Room. The Room suddenly randomly picked a site for them to fight in- it picked a forest strangely similar to the Forbidden Forest. They immediately hid from one another, and activated their various instruments.

Before this, they actually wanted to go to a psychiatrist- but fortunately, Madame Pomphrey told them that Headmistress McGonagall told her that she had already prepared a psychiatrist for the traumatized students of Hogwarts. So the Golden Trio did something else- they got something to let go of their frustrations on- Mixed Combat. Mixed Combat came from the Wizards of the Middle East. It mixed magic, muggle weapons, magical weapons, and muggle fighting all in one. It was also the most famous sport in some parts of Asia. They found these lessons very intriguing, and actually realized that not only was Ron very good at it, but that this kind of training would've helped them in the war. Ron actually won a competition in it. Despite Ron still being an avid Quidditch fan, Ron is now showing more interest in Mixed Combat than he ever did to his studies.

Hours later, Harry lay panting on the floor, a tiger bite on his right leg, and trapped in a cage made for tigers. Ron, who was also panting in exhaustion, had a grin on his face and was leaning on a tree beside Harry's cage. Hermione was sleeping peacefully somewhere in the forest, caught by Harry's draught of death.

Once again, Ron has won due to his tactical mind.

Ron smiled to himself. 'What a group we make,' he thought.

Hermione, whilst filled with knowledge of spells, was pretty much useless when it comes to strenuous physical activities such as running and surviving in a forest full of dangerous creatures. In contrast, Harry was trickier and much more difficult to fight against. He was fast and agile. Ron always makes sure that Harry is battered and tired before he even meets him. In a duel, Harry would definitely win against Ron through his sheer power, instincts, and sly tactics. However, what Ron lacks is overcome by his physical strength and tactical ingenuity. If Hermione was a library, Harry was a soldier and Ron was a tactician. Somehow, Ron was able to shepherd a tired Harry into his trap, who fought against Hermione and the animals. While Harry defeated the tiger, he still can't get himself out of the cage.

Suddenly, the room morphed back to normal, and the forest disappeared. Along with the forest, the wounds and the dirt on them disappeared as well. Hermione woke up.

"That was fun." Harry remarked, grinning up at Ron. Hermione groaned loudly at her place at the floor, and both Ron and Harry laughed at her.

The three friends, despite having the same instructors, have different strategies in Mixed Combat. For example, they have very different kinds of magical equipment on them. Ron carries various traps, spying materials, and an armor. For a one-on-one fight, he relies solely on his physical prowess and no weapons at all. Harry carries various weapons, things useful for escaping, handy potions, a healing kit, and no armor at all. Hermione has portable wards, some weapons, a healing kit, and armor.

Hogwarts now have an extra healer at hand- a mind healer and a psychiatrist named Tom, who was there for all of the traumatized children.

Every time Harry goes near the Forbidden Forest, where the wards of Hogwarts end, he feels as if someone is watching him. One night, Harry goes out into the Forest during the Full Moon alone, determined to search for a rare ingredient for a potion he was going to do for his Potions Finals, and find out why he feels as if something is pulling him towards the Forest. He is supposed to modify Wolfbane, and so he makes Wolfbind, a potion that makes the man able to control the both the shifting to a wolf and the mind. He met Edward, who was thought to be dead by vampires and fae, and was also very injured. He realized that Edward was the one who was staring at him all along, and that he is Edward's mate, which is unusual since vampires usually mate with vampires. Edward introduces himself as Altair. They feel the pull towards each other, and Harry ends up spending night after night with Edward in a magical tent in the Forest, with Edward helping him with his Wolfbind, and Harry making potions for Edward's recovery. They fall in love, until one night- you see, the vampires and the fae fell into a war they named the Blood War. The wizards, who hate the vampires due to them preying on wizards, refuses to help them and stays neutral. The fae, who are powerful but few, found out that vampires make great changelings, and vampires protested in outrage, fighting against the fae who wanted them as changelings who follow the faerie court's every command. Edward, being the Volturi's "Dark Assassin," is one of the main players of the war. Edward, who was now healed thanks to Harry, joined in another bloody battle between the fae and vampires that happened near the forbidden forrest. Jasper, who is also a main player, persuades him to stop meeting Harry and focus on the war first because if the Fae finds out that Harry is connected to Edward, they will no doubt target him and involve him in the war. Jasper told him that Edward should break up with him.

Edward, after making love to Harry, leaves in the morning and left a note, saying that they are done, and that his name was not Altair but Edward Cullen, the infamous 'dark assassin.' Harry breaks down, thinking that Edward used him for his magic, blood and his body, and left when he got what he wanted.

The Blood War became a very brutal and bloody war. It was months later that Harry and Edward met again. During a night wherein Edward was in a restaurant spying on a Wizard named Terzes Lockwood who was selling weapons to the Fae, Edward spotted Harry, who is now training for Healership, with a date- the School Psychiatrist, Tom Rest. Edward was filled with rage, his blood boiled, and he snatched Harry into a dark alley, throwing him to the wall and pinned him there.

"What the fuck are you doing?!"

"Are you spreading your legs to idiots now?!"

"Fuck you! One idiot was enough! Tom's a great guy!"

"I'll kill everyone and anyone who touches you!"

"Shut up! You have no right to do that!"

"You're mine!"

"You used me and left, you jackass! Bastard! Let go of me!"

"I did NOT use you! You don't understand!"

"What did I not understand?! You left me!"

"I-I still love you..."

"Love me?! I would've done everything for you!"

"Exactly! I left to protect you! Don't you see?! If the fae find out about you, they'd torture you, break you, just to get to me!"

"And so you'll just throw me away like nothing's happened between us?! We're OVER, remember? Don't wait for me anymore, you said! And so you have no right to just throw me away and expect me to not date another!"

Harry acquired his creature inheritance at fourteen- he became a half-siren. It was surprisingly from Lily's side of the family. Sirens are genderless. All of them can reproduce. It's just that the born warriors tend to look more feminine and the born healers tend to look masculine. When they mate, they lose their tails and mate like snakes- they have many mates. The Sirens simply sense who has a greater ability to reproduce and flock to them.

The main food source of sirens are merfolk. The sirens hypnotize beings both with their attractiveness and their voice. The sirens are very fast and very strong. Sadly, they are very few due to cannibalism and few Sirens who could successfully carry a child. Mermaids and mermen produce like rabbits, and though not as strong or fast, could still overpower a siren due to their numbers.

On land, Sirens are even more faster. Sirens usually eat anything alive.

When Harry was taken to the graveyard and Cedric was killed, Harry's siren inheritance was triggered and surprised Voldemort by eating him alive. Harry never felt so hungry before. The death eaters, still with shock, fell to his wickedly fast attacks as well. The only one who wasn't eaten completely was Peter Pettigrew, whom he brought to Fudge to grant Sirius Black's trial and consequently his freedom. When Harry recounted his story to them all, he showed his Slytherin side and simply explained that Peter Pettigrew and Barty Crouch jr. wanted him dead.

Dumbledore knew he was lying, but he let it go, he did nothing. He told himself that his innocent, green-eyed, golden boy would not have done anything too horrifying anyway.

Sirius was soon free to go, and adopted Harry quickly. And Harry told Sirius everything. Harry also told Hermione and Ron, both who have sworn under an Unbreakable Oath not to reveal it to anyone.

So Sirius, Ron, and Hermione helps Harry by feeding him lots and lots of fish and covering for him whenever. They soon reveal it to Remus as well, and Remus told them that what they were doing was dangerous, that Sirens are considered Kill on Sight kind of creatures and Harry is in danger in being much too near to Dumbledore. They feared that Dumbledore would condemn Harry the moment he learned that Harry was a Siren. Luckily, in everyone's eyes, Harry could not do no wrong. And that suddenly stunning smile of his persuaded everyone not to inquire as to what he was doing. So now, 18 year old Harry, tired with fighting, is now studying on how to become a healer.

Tom is still alive. When Harry ate Voldemort, in a last desperate attempt at revenge, Voldemort decided to collect all of his horcruxes, and shed his immortality. Besides, no one was left to give him a new body now, his living followers are all in Azkaban. And so he gathered all of his horcruxes through sheer will. However, it went horribly wrong. You see, his horcruxes, the other pieces of his soul, loathe him so much. Why? Because they are souls he helplessly trapped for decades, with no way to feel and no body at all. It was horrifying to them. And so in revenge, they all merged into one, except him, the main soul. They destroyed him, and became one. Years later, their collective souls managed to possess a body of a comatose wizard, and successfully took it as their own. Now, they have learned all there is to know about the doings of their main soul, and actually had mixed emotions about Harry Potter. First, they were disgusted and amused on the fact that their main soul was so insane that he was killed by his own, deflected curse- he was defeated by a baby. Second, they were also grateful to Harry for succeeding on beating him. For if he did not beat him, they would never be free. Third, they hated the fact that if anyone would ever be a danger to them, it would be Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter. And yet they were fascinated about him, since he clearly carries one of their own- he was a soul container, their youngest kin. And somehow, Harry could feel it as well.

Timeline:

Hundreds of years ago:

the fae and the vampires become at war due to the fae preying on the vampires. Carlisle fights them along with the Volturi.

A hundred years ago:

Carlisle turns Edward into a vampire, and immediately trains him to fight against the Fae. Edward shows that he has a talent for fighting and climbs the ranks. He becomes known as the 'Dark Assassin' for he is very fast and is great at assassinating Fae. The Fae have trouble changing him due to them being ignorant of his ability and him being able to read their mind before they act.

Fourth year:

Harry defeats Voldemort along with his free death eaters through his creature inheritance. He is now Half-siren. Although he is human enough that he doesn't gain a tail and flee to the sea nor captivate people as strongly as full sirens, he becomes hungry for meat during stressful times that trigger his siren side, becomes very stunning in everyone's eyes, and gains a very hypnotic voice. Sirius is proven innocent.

Summer after fourth year:

Remus and Sirius, with the help of the Golden Trio, helps changing Grimmauld Place. As a trade, Remus and Sirius teaches them how to be animagi. Harry realizes he likes both genders and admits he had a crush both on Cho AND Cedric. Sirius adopts Harry. Harry is a black panther, Hermione is a European Lynx, and Ron is a huge lion.

Fifth year:

life continues, and Sirius, Remus, Ron and Hermione keep his secrets from Dumbledore as well as the rest of the world. The death eaters somehow manage to free themselves from Azkaban with the help of the family members of the eaten death eaters and furious werewolves who lost their alpha Fenrir Greyback. The ministry interrupts Hogwarts with Umbridge due to rumors of Dumbledore creating an army. Harry leads DA. Harry struggles to control his siren side using Occlumency taught by Remus in secret. Umbridge is defeated by Dumbledore. He gathered evidence that she was using a blood quill on the students and kicked her out.

Summer after fifth year:

Remus, Sirius, and the Golden Trio become introduced to Mixed Combat. They learn about Harry being abused and neglected by the Dursleys and no longer trust Dumbledore.

Sixth year:

Harry is stricken with guilt, seeing as he has eaten the fathers of his Slytherin classmates. Although the Slytherins do not know what happened at the Graveyard, they know that their fathers disappeared on the day of the Final Task, and that Harry have something to do with it. The Slytherins become intent on making his life hell. They let furious werewolves and the still alive death eaters inside Hogwarts and fought with them, creating death and destruction. There was a bloodbath, but Dumbledore, the teachers, as well as the DA and some seventh years, managed to fight them back. Harry's siren side triggers and he manages to defeat the werewolves crawling through Hogwarts and some death eaters with his incredible speed. Dumbledore died from Bellatrix Lestrange's poison. And Bellatrix Lestrange died from Neville Longbottom grabbing the Gryffindor's sword and piercing her with it.

The Slytherins were thrown into Azkaban, and the living death eaters were Kissed.

Summer after sixth year:

the Golden Trio attempts to heal themselves through Mixed Combat. Harry bonds with Sirius and Remus. He finally manages to be in full control of his siren side.

Seventh year:

the DA and the rest of Hogwarts are recovering from the horrible massacre attempt of some of the Slytherins. Tom is back, now as a psychiatrist set to help the students to recover. Edward is horribly injured during the war between vampires and fae and is hiding in the Forbidden Forrest. Harry and Edward meet, with Edward using a false name to Harry, saying that his name is Altair. Harry saw Altair's disturbing likeness to Cedric and helps him with his injuries through potions. Edward reveals that Harry is his soul mate. Edward drinks Harry's blood, and slept with him, and felt far more powerful than before. He joined the war again, letting the vampires and the fae know that he is alive. Jasper persuades Edward to leave Harry. Harry is heartbroken.

Post-graduation:

Harry, moving on from Edward, is being courted by Tom. He is now studying on how to be a healer, Ron is in Auror Training, and Hermione is with the Unspeakables. Sirius, as Lord Black, is now a politician fighting for Werewolf rights. Remus is now the one in charge for selling Harry's Wolfbind potion to hospitals and werewolves. The Blood War is in full swing, and the Vampires are slowly losing their ground. The Fae are gaining numbers as they catch more and more vampires. Harry and Edward meet once again, but Edward finds that Harry, his mate, is trying to stop loving him. With Harry's Siren speed and mixed magical combat skills, and Edward's vampiric strength and speed as well as a hundred years of battle experience, their fights are a sight to behold. And yet, Edward always manages to win due to his experience.

When Tom embraced Harry, Harry felt that he could actually Heal. Like Tom was painkillers in human form. He made Harry feel numb, not progressively crumbling.

And he was really grateful for that. Tom graciously explained his intentions to him, stating that he makes no promises, and that he simply wants to be in Harry's presence because Harry somehow makes him feel comfortable in a way he never was.

Sure, Ron and Hermione did great in helping him recover from his heartbreak, and did their best to make him happy by toning their affection for each other down, but it still twists Harry's heart whenever he sees them look at each other lovingly.

And then Tom did something quite unexpected- he asked Harry if he would casually date Tom. And no longer being a third wheel helped Harry. Tom confessed to Harry that he simply wants to be in Harry's presence all the time. He said that he's still trying to figure out what he feels for Harry. In truth, Harry is also trying to figure out what Tom is to him. Tom is his psychiatrist, his mind healer. But somehow Tom feels more to him than that, it's like there's a connection between them.

And so the two agreed to get to know each other.

Harry realized that Tom understands him so much it scares him. And Tom helped point him to his practice- Healing. Tom confessed to him that when he was younger, Tom took to understanding, analyzing, and mimicking the muggles around him just so someone would accept him. It was a habit so ingrained in him that he sometimes even fooled himself that the muggle children around him were his real friends. But then they saw him do magic, and the illusion quickly crumbled around him. But Tom was adaptable, and he persevered through his childhood with muggles. Harry confessed to him that he tried doing the same thing, only he fails every time due to his aunt's hatred of him. He felt so alone. Like Harry, Tom hated bullies with a passion. The difference between them is that whilst Harry was told that he was an unlovable, stupid freak, Tom was told he was an unfeeling, evil monster. Harry confessed that when he had killed all those people whilst he was out of his mind, he felt incredibly guilty later. Tom told him that what he does is curb all the negative emotions he has and use it to make himself all the more stronger. He advised that Harry use his heartbreak to drive him into success, to stop pitying himself and do something about it. And because this task is easier said than done, Tom supported Harry through all the hurdles.

One day, Tom gave Harry a ring- telling him that the ring symbolized the vow that Tom will always come to Harry's aid- no matter what... This unknowingly made Harry the Master of Death. This is because Albus Dumbledore, the previous master of the death stick, lost to Bellatrix Lestrange. And Bellatrix Lestrange fell to Neville Longbottom. And the person who disarmed Neville when he was about to attack Ron out of jumpiness (because Ron surprised him when he appeared behind him) was none other than Harry Potter.

The cloak, the wand, and the ring.

Unknown to Harry, a certain symbol of the deathly hallows appeared on his back.

/

In truth, Carlisle didn't think much of vampires. And so when he heard that trouble was brewing between vampires and faeries, he thought that perhaps, the cruel vampires are finally getting what they deserved.

But then the fae caught him. And he saw all those innocent newborn vampires, and all of the cruelties of the fae proved to him that not only are fae extremely dangerous to vampires, but to the whole world as well. And so Carlisle, with his compassionate heart, escaped the fae, helped the other vampires, and joined the battle against the fae.

And for a hundred years, that was what he had been doing. Whilst he is not fighting, he is healing people. Through this, he feels as if the killings he had done are repaid by the lives he save. And then he bit Edward. Fearing for his childe, he knew Edward needed to learn how to fight, how to protect himself, and so he taught him. And then he saved Esme, finally finding his mate after years of loneliness... And he thought he could shield Esme from the war. And then there was Rosalie and Emmett. He thought he could train them enough before anything happens too.

He was wrong. Very, very, wrong. Esme was cruelly taken away from him, never to be seen again. This was also what happened to Emmett and Rosalie.

What happened to Esme shaped Carlisle into a colder, more ruthless man. He got into the war with renewed vigor. Years later, him and Edward met a cold, broken Jasper, who said that Alice told him that they were going to join them before Alice was later taken by the faeries from him. And so they were three. With Jasper by their side, the three of them rose up in the ranks due to their flawless teamwork. Carlisle was the experienced veteran, Edward was the mind-reader, and Jasper was the cold tactician who is never afraid of sacrifices. Vampires were solitary by nature, and although the war forced them to work together, vampires still become uncomfortable and tend to only become teams of three or four.

Later, when Edward realized that Harry was his mate, he was filled with dread instead of joy. The only thought raging on his mind back then was 'THEY WILL TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!' From all the sorrow and heartache their family went through, he knew he couldn't be hasty with Harry. Carlisle told him that Edward should cherish Harry, and let go. Jasper pitied him. And told him that if he really loved Harry, he will not let Harry be in danger. Edward was in a very dangerous position due to him being already known by the fae, and he has no doubts that Harry would die if the fae found out about him. The other vampires who sometimes feed him his missions and information are disgusted by him (they sometimes smell a human on him), telling him that Edward was like fucking a really pretty cow, albeit a more dangerous cow than most. Pretty, but meat nonetheless.

They can't understand how a vampire can mate with a being that is not another vampire. They feel that anything else is inferior.

NEW! Updated 8/16/14

Tap. Tap.

Green eyes zeroed in on the owl making the noise, and with a swift movement he opened the window and took the letter. Alarmed with the swiftness, the owl jerked and flew away in a flurry of feathers.

Harry read the letter- it was about a patient, suffering an unknown sickness. In Czech Republic. Apparently, he was a big fan of the Boy-Who-Lived, and believed in his heart that Harry could heal him.

"Ron," Harry called to his best friend in the other room.

Ron stuck his head in through the door of the kitchen and looked at Harry attentively.

"I have another one." Harry met Ron's eyes determinedly. Ron sighed, and nodded. "We'll be waiting, then."

/

Edward started trying to stalk Harry a month after Harry told him to leave him alone whenever Edward had free time and was not killing faerie. Strangely, Edward found that Harry was always away, and Edward always could not follow him around. He was always being called on by faraway patients who are his fans. Harry has not completed his mastery of healing yet, but his fans seem determined to reach him despite that. Also,

He couldn't take his eyes away every time Tom touches Harry's arm, face, back...

And one day, a mysterious man invited him to ride a limousine with him. And Edward felt a strange instinct in him telling him to do it- not that was needed. After all, the man was wearing one of Harry's jackets.

Edward cautiously went and sat inside. This could be fae, his mind told him.

But Edward was smelling Harry's scent on the man's jacket again, and Edward acted before he even thought further. In a blink of an eye, Edward had his hand around the man's neck.

Edward kept his hand still on the man's neck, and growled "who are you?!"

The man had a smug smile on his face despite Edward threatening him.

"Strange how you barely know me, when I know so much about you. Ron Weasley, at your service."

Suddenly, as if the man was wrapped in paper skin, Edward suddenly recognized the red hair and freckles of the boy always in Harry's photo album.

Edward's eyes widened and he let him go as swiftly as possible. He knows? I told Harry to keep quiet!"Why are you contacting me? Does he need me? Does he need help?"

"No. He's away again. It's just, I'm sick and tired of seeing you trying to follow him around. So stop stalking him, alright? He doesn't want you anymore, Altair. At least, not yet."

Edward looked flabbergasted. And Ron continued, " I am the reason why you can't seem to follow him around, Altair. Thanks to you following him around all the time, all those wards you breached gave me so much information about you. I know you're a vampire, the Seduction class, stronger and faster than normal vampires, a mind reader, and Harry finally had no choice but to reveal you're his ex." Edward was silent with his head down, thinking.

"Well, what else am I here for? Because if you only wanted to tell me that, then you only wasted your time, Ronald Weasley."

"I'm here to make an offer."

Edward looked at Ron carefully. Ron probably knows more than he lets on, and from Harry's tales, Edward knows that Ron is a dangerous, tricky, Slytherin-ish Strategist. Now that Edward thought about it, he could feel a slight tingle in the air. Edward narrowed his eyes.

Ron, taking that as a sign to continue, said "I know you're still in love with him, but you really should stop. You are in danger if you keep doing this. So I ask that you leave now, before you get caught up in the you leave, I wouldn't tell Harry you have been stalking him."

"I doubt that was really words meant to push me away. No, that was bait. And why do you have a limo?" And Ron smiled at him.

"To look the secret leader part, of course."

Ron threw a newspaper at him. Edward caught it, and read "UNSPEAKABLE DEFECTED! COULD THEY REALLY BE TRUSTED?" The paper, written by Rita Skeeter, went on about how this Unspeakable Brinnan Corpus was somehow able to break his oaths to the ministry and take an artifact with him. Not only does that Unspeakable just signed his death warrant, but also alarmed the wizards and witches that they have entrusted magic's deepest secrets to people who could just betray them..

"That Unspeakable wasn't loyal to the ministry, and not loyal to the Death eaters either." Ron murmured.

Edward raised an eyebrow. He can't be serious, can he?

"Harry wouldn't hire a spy in the ministry, it isn't his thing." Edward murmured.

"Oh, but Harry doesn't need to hire one. They throw themselves to him. They don't necessarily tell him that they're loyal to him either- they just tell him they need his help. He has an army of friends."

Edward shook his head. "But why would a man loyal to Harry do something so stupid? He knows Harry will help him, and this might drag Harry's name through the mud."

Ron beamed at him. "And that's what you're going to find out."

Edward sighed. Edward internally rolls his eyes.

Oh, the things he do for love.

Harry supposed he should blame everything on Dumbledore and Voldemort.

And himself too, he supposed.

Harry is taking the villains of the Wizarding World down one by one. The magical mafia, the corrupt officials, the masters of the black market.. One by one. A "patient" calls him for help, and not only does Harry solves their injury... He also solves the reason why they got it.

Harry supposes that Hermione must be right, on his hero complex. But perhaps, he just cannot remember how to live without enemies? He's practically a monster.

Harry chooses to believe that he has a hero complex instead, and not a man stuck in the injustice of his past.

In a way, he was a lot like Voldemort.

Or should I say, Tom?

Harry figured out that Tom is Tom Riddle.

And they're going to help each other this time around.

Tom is his psychiatrist, friend, and boyfriend at the same time. He is also a wildcard, one who is not afraid to use the dark arts for his benefit.

Harry has figured that out long ago. And Tom admitted it.

Tom is great at figuring things out, and studying magic. He is a greater researcher than even Hermione.

Tom calls upon Harry from time to time, showing great works of magic and wonders of nature to him from time to time.

/

"Harry, please." Edward murmured softly, gazing lovingly at the man with the back turned to him. "You have already done enough. It is time to stop now."

Edward gently seized Harry's shoulder, and pulled Harry to face him.

Harry slapped Edward's hand away, and magic sizzled between them.

"You know what's wrong with you, Edward?"

Harry shouted, furious. He looked at the frozen vampire staring at him in shock.

"You can't see what is already in front of you. I'm not the "Harry" I portray myself to be, Edward! Can't you see? I am not some helpless innocent, some naive child! I know what I'm doing! And you know why? Because I've been doing it for most of my life!

So don't tell me what to do, Edward. There is a war inside me that is as real as the one you're involved in. And it involves me hunting these monsters down. I will change the world, Edward. The world I love. I have the power to change things, and I will not stand aside as what the people before me had done. I don't want to control the world, Edward. I only need to save it. Not just a part of it, but the rest as well."

Harry hesitated for a split second, but then decided to say it.

"I am... I am the Master of Death."

A few seconds of silence passed by between them, and Edward's face darkened.

"Who told you these things? Is it that psychiatrist of yours? I knew he wasn't any good at all, Harry. He put these thoughts in your head-"

"Oh yeah! And who told you to fight for a war for over a hundred years! Who fucking told you to fucking leave me alone? That's right, your damn sire!"

"You've lost yourself! This is not who you are!"

"It is! You've just chosen to believe otherwise! I want to help people Edward, and I want to kill those bastards that have done those things! I want to kill the bastards who ruin our lives!"

"What things, Harry?! What bastards? You're just making enemies Harry, and that's going to get you killed!"

"You don't know anything, Edward! Fuck you! Judge me then, like you always do!"

"Harry... I just want what's best for you, Harry."

"There were so many people who thought they were doing what's best for me, Edward. They're all dead now."

Harry turned to leave, but Edward caught his arm in a flash.

"Harry wait! Won't you explain to me what you meant by that first? I just want to help you Harry, I don't want to fight. Please."

Harry was silent at that, and suddenly motioned for Edward to follow him into a room.

'That definitely wasn't there before,' Edward thought. The door was glamored earlier, and it is definitely a strong glamor, for it had been able to put off a vampire as strong as Edward.

He rejoiced in the fact that they have finally stopped shouting at each other. Stepping into the room, he saw that it was a study room. It probably had a hundred books housed in its large bookshelves. There was an oaken table in the middle of it, and Harry and Edward took a seat in front of each other.

An old, battered, rolled up parchment suddenly appeared in Harry's hand. Harry settled it on the table.

And as it dawned on Edward that it was a symbol in it, he would have paled if he were human.

It was a red, medium-sized skull. A smiling skull with long white fangs, and too large eye sockets.

Any immortal immersed in the underground worth their mettle would know exactly what the symbol represents.

"The Cannibals," Edward breathed out.

/

"Information says that the Cannibals is behind many things in this world, Harry. They were behind the theory of why muggleborns exist- that the muggleborns is a sign of the Pagan gods being displeased with the wizards. They were behind the murder of Godric Gryffindor. They were behind the black market, the curse on Knockturn Alley..."

Harry sighed. "Edward, you realize that these Cannibals aren't exactly normal, yes? They have been here for a thousand years."

Edward raised an eyebrow. "Then they could either be vampires, or fae."

"That's what most think, Edward. But that's not true at all."

"Edward, the Cannibals have made over a thousand enemies over the centuries. Vampires, be it the Mindless Class or the Sunless Class or the Seduction Class, are tricky to kill, but they actually could be killed. The fae is the same. But with the Cannibals, the people had done everything. And not one of them worked. In the legends, what drove the fae away? Men. Supernaturally strong men. I believe, and it is what is also believed by my mentor Albus Dumbledore- that these Men were the same men who drove the Fae off the face of the earth."

Edward was silent for a while. "What do they have to do with you, Harry?"

"... They want me to join them."

Edward inwardly prayed for strength and calm.

"Why?"

"They told me I was fit to join them. That I am a Man who now knows the path to immortality without being Turned into another creature. That if I do not join them, they would have no choice but to capture and enslave me instead, for they cannot have enemies. I don't want to join them, Edward... Their goals will destroy the world."

"What... How would they know if you're an immortal or not? What are their goals?"

"They told me that they felt it, that they felt another one join their state of living... As for their goals, I don't know..."

Something dawned on Edward. "Harry, you wouldn't want to join them."

"True. They're probably bastards who took their immortality by force. Probably got it from the fae in some way. But I don't have a choice."

"What about the bad things they have done, Harry? Would you join in too?"

"They told the purebloods that the muggleborns are gifted with magic because the pagan gods are displeased with them because otherwise, the purebloods would think they stole magic instead. They murdered Godric Gryffindor because he was set to merging the wizards with the muggles. They created the black market because... i don't know why they made the black market. The curse on Knockturn Alley was so that dark magic could still strive somewhere without bringing about war... They weren't the bastards I am trying to stop, Edward. No, the ones I'm trying to stop are those are the newbies who want to bring about another war. I don't want another war. I know these wizards, Edward. They're going to push me into stopping these bastards, and then blame me if I couldn't. So I'm just doing them a favor by already doing it without notifying them."

Edward looked at Harry in the eye.

"No, you're doing it because you don't know what to do with yourself after fighting for so long."

Harry shrugged. "Perhaps."

"Softpaw,

I have finished translating the next five pages of A.D.'s journal. Here it is:

'September 21

Unknown to the ordinary humans of the world, and even the more ignorant extraordinary ones, there were other planes of existence. The first plane was the human world, and it was called Terra. Long ago, Terra was a harsh place to its inhabitants. There were so many giants, dinosaurs, sea monsters... There were so many powerful entities living together, hunting each other down and searching for food... For hundreds of years, they lived this way. Until one by one, the most powerful ones conquered the weak. There were four creatures that ruled the earth. First were the elves, who were the masters of beauty, wisdom, and invisibility. They were so few, but they were very clever. Second were the fae, the masters of the forest and the creatures that inhabit it. They had higher numbers than the elves, but their problem is that they fight each other all the time, and have no interest in helping each other. Third were the sirens, the masters of the ocean and all that inhabits it. They would lure you into the sea with their voices and eat you. Once you step foot into their territory, there is no more escape for you. Fourth, were the humans. They were taller and wider than all of them, like smaller versions of giants, but they were smarter. They have impossible strength and speed, and they regenerate wounds and could turn into any creature they wish.

They had a problem, you see. A huge meteor was about to strike them. And so they have momentarily called a truce and helped each other in saving themselves.

In the end, the elves has managed to save themselves by making a plane of existence for themselves, the fae have also made a plane for themselves with the help of the humans. However, they betrayed the humans and blocked them off the plane, leaving the humans to die. The sirens- well, it turned out that they didn't need another plane for themselves after all. The ocean was deep enough to protect them. Nothing could hurt them there. However, as the other three soon found out, the humans didn't die out at all. No, they were different. They were changed by the blast, they were so much weaker.

This was why there was a deep-seated fear towards humans and sirens inside elves, for that sort of destruction would have certainly wiped off elves... So the elves had hidden themselves in the plane they named Alva, and hoped to never to return to Terra again. The fae was enraged that the humans were alive. They attacked them. But surprisingly, the humans won, despite being weaker than before. The fae had no choice but to retreat to their plane they named Faeta. The sirens were suitably impressed by what the humans had done, but were indifferent. To the sirens, the land is not theirs, and therefore they do not care what is happening there. It is just another place for prey. The humans however, actually loathed the sirens. They loathed the fact that the sirens were not weakened along with them. Not only that, but there was a bloody history between them.

The sirens didn't have a plane, but their 'heart of the ocean,' where they hid, was named Aulega.

And so the territories were set. Alva for the elves, Faeta for the fae, Aulega for the sirens, and Terra for the humans.

Hundred years later, they mated indiscriminately, and that's where the Were, Centaurs, Sylphs, Goblins, Wizards, and other magical beings come from. Vampires however, were different. You see, the first wizards came from the mating of elves with the weakened humans.. And somehow, one of the wizards was able to awaken the genes of the first generation of humans. The wizard somehow became fast, strong, and immortal like the first generation humans. However, there was a mutation- he needed blood. He bit a human, but did not kill him.

And so the first vampire was created.

The elves feared them. They sent elves to destroy the wizard that created the vampires, but these elves were soundly cursed instead. This began the house elves- the cursed elves who lost their beauty, their knowledge, and freedom.

The fae... Found them interesting. This time, they have now learned to Turn beings into fae in order to increase their numbers. Now the fae wanted Vampires to be added to their numbers.

The humans from before that survived the blast... Are what are now called The Cannibals, the Eternal Ones, The White Giants, The Weakened Eleven. They were the ones betrayed by the fae, loathes the sirens, sneers at the elves, and weeps for the weaker generations that followed them.

Centuries later, the magical beings came to explore the world and came to loathe the weaker, younger, non-magical humans who always depended on them for everything. And so the magical beings spread throughout the earth. And then the non-magical humans believed them unreal, and so the magical beings humored them. The strongest leaders of the magical communities, called "Yorda," gathered around and cast an incredibly powerful spell on Terra. You see, they might not have the knowledge to build a plane for themselves like the elves or the fae did, but they still have some knowledge. And so the Yordas of the Were, Vampires, Wizards, Centaurs, Hags, Goblins, as well as the Sirens and other magical beings made the non-magical human world unable to ever notice their territories. This spell would be always maintained by the Yordas.

However, as time passed by, the Werewolves, hags, goblins, and even the vampire leaders started to forget about this responsibility. The line of Yordas were soon cut off. The Weakened Eleven took their places instead, along with the Yordas of the Wizards, Sirens, and Nagas.

The "Yorda" of Wizards are better known as "Lords," more specifically, either the Light Lord or the Dark Lord, who are chosen by the warlocks. The Siren's Yorda is their Queen, Lorelei- who is actually one of Harry's ancestors, since Lily Evans had the blood of the sirens flowing through her. The Yorda of the Nagas is actually just a few years older than Harry- his human name is Isha. '

That's all for now. It would take only a month or so for the five remaining pages to be translated.

Best regards,

Waterlike

P.S.: when will I be able to meet you again? I have something interesting at hand."

Taking the letter back from Edward, Harry continued.

"One of the Weakened Eleven, Ao, soon approached me. They knew I was something different now, and they wish to control me now before the idea of producing an heir cross my mind. You see, they weren't able to control the spread of the vampires back then, and so they worry that I will yet again create another immortal species."

The Story of Why Ron Is As He Is:

It happened during sixth year.

The professors, fifth, sixth and seventh years were defending the school. It was pure chaos. Hermione was out cold as she was hit by three cruciatus curses at once- they made an example of her. Ron killed the death eaters that did it through the use of a powerful slicing hex, and then he was tasked by McGonagall to lead the injured (like Hermione) and the fourth years and lower to safety. He gathered them all and went towards the infirmary, but then Lucius Malfoy was there. Luckily, Harry appeared and fought with him, defending the students. And when a huge fireball was shot at them by Rudolphus Lestrange (who suddenly appeared), Ron was stuck for a split second. Who was he going to protect: the students (with Hermione), or Harry?

He chose the students. He covered them with his most powerful protego. At once, he heard Harry's horrific scream as he burned. Ron was shouting Harry's name in panic as he struggled to maintain the shield. Ron was crying as he heard Harry's scream stop. When the long torrent of flames were gone, Rudolphus Lestrange was gone, Lucius, who was also caught by the fire, died from being completely burned, and Harry... was also burnt. He was breathing harshly, and Ron was struck with complete despair, apologizing over and over again. Miraculously, Fawkes appeared and cried all over Harry's fatal burns.

After that, Ron levitated Harry and shepherded the lower years to the infirmary. They immediately told Madame Pomphrey to heal Harry. Ron was apologizing over and over again, and Harry told him there was nothing to forgive, and that it was alright, that he was right to protect the students. After that, Harry triggered his siren side and went back to the battle like nothing has happened.

Ron was very remorseful and guilty and traumatized, and seeing Harry like that, burnt to a crisp... Ron made a vow to choose the people over Harry again.

What happened during the fight:

- slytherins let the werewolves and remaining death eaters inside Hogwarts through the Vanishing Cabinet. Dumbledore had been called to the ministry. Hermione and Ginny was the first to discover it. Hermione stayed and fought them, saying she'll distract them, while Ginny turned and alerted the professors. Professor McGonagall, with a few students who ran towards the enemy came and saw Hermione being hit with a cruciatus curse over and over again. Ron snapped and sliced right through their necks with a hex. Ginny pulled Hermione to safety with Luna protecting her with a protego. Neville threw stunning spells at the werewolves that Professor McGonagall easily subdued them with transfigured rock guardians. However, a slytherin appeared and stabbed her in the back. Neville stunned the student that did it, and then healed professor McGonagall with a minor healing spell he knew. McGonagall continued fighting, instructing a shell-shocked Ron to go evacuate the students to the Infirmary.

After that big reveal, Edward watched Harry leave, barely hearing the "you can see yourself out" the young man uttered.

FLASHBACK

Harry lay underneath him, exhausted and sweaty. Edward stared at Harry's beautiful face, mesmerized by him. The slight curve of his puffy lips, that unnaturally green, almond eyes, the glowing, warm skin, the rhythmic breaths he took- Edward felt like he finally got what he was looking for all his life.

Contentment. Happiness. Fulfillment. Success. All these words only meant one thing to him now: Harry, his love.

Edward knew the moment he made love to Harry that he will never find a treasure as good as him.

He knew their relationship had progressed too fast, but Edward was head over heels in love with Harry, and his vampire side wanted to claim his mate the minute he had set his eyes on him.

"Wh't're you st'ring at?," Harry mumbled sleepily.

Edward smiled and whispered to his ear "I love you, Harry."

"Mmhmm..." Harry grunted in reply, turning his back on him so he can sleep.

Edward read a book beside the sleeping boy for hours, his eyes straying to him from time to time.

Edward murmured to himself. "I wish I can just stay here, and I can have you all for myself. I wish time would stop, and no one would ever bother us. I wish I can have moments like these forever, then I would never be lonely anymore..."

END OF FLASHBACK

Edward smiled a bittersweet smile.

If only things hadn't turned from bad to worst. Not only is Edward failing in the task assigned to him by Ronald Weasley of all people, Harry is in even more danger than before. The dangers keep adding up: the haters of Harry Potter, the Fae possibly finding about their past relationship, Tom Riddle being an unknown to Edward, the ministry due to Brinnan Corpus' association with Harry, and now the Cannibals, feared among both monsters and men.

Edward sighed. Focusing his thoughts, he once again wondered.

Where on earth is Brinnan Corpus?

/

Brinnan Corpus- Well, he was happily lounging on a sofa in one of Harry's houses, Grimmauld place.

He was deciding to himself what his next personality should be, now that his days as Brinnan Corpus was over. Perhaps he'd like to be a Russian businessman next? He'd have to ask Harry about it. This time, he would be very far away, seeing as the ministry is out looking for him.

/

Meanwhile, Harry was pouring his stomach out the toilet.

Puking his guts out early in the morning was NOT what Harry had expected to do.

'Oh no, no, no, no, no!' Was going through Harry's mind as he finally finished puking and sat on his bum on the loo's floor.

/

Harry snorted. Oh, if only he was pregnant. Why couldn't he be just pregnant with Edward's baby? Oh, that's right. That was too long ago. No, this was not pregnancy... At all.
