Eye before the Storm.
By Scarlett Midnight
I remembered those days.
My mother and father laughing and smiling, The Press always interested in my mothers mysterious past, My brother Albus not knowing his true power.
Everything was perfect.
Even though I knew our secret.
I was the only one out of the four of us. My younger brother James was arrogant enough to believe he was super, but never truly imagined how much our mother kept from us to keep us safe.
My youngest sister. The last planed child, Lily. She was a shy girl. Always thinking she was mediocre. Though she spoke to animals, she refused to think she was special, even though she was born from the two greatest Hero's of their generation.
My youngest brother's name is Albus. He is the one who is destine for the power of the throne that my mother secretly holds, and the one that is prophesied to lead our family to defeat Naraku.
I was the only one who knew this.
My name is Violet Potter. Daughter of InuYasha Kurami Tashio Higurashi Potter and Harry James Potter. The one that lived through the terrible battle that almost killed my mother, and me while I was in her womb.
The Tashio History says that one of the family members will inherit the true Tashio power. In the order of Oldest, Youngest, Oldest, Youngest. My Great Grandfather was the oldest, as was my mother. My Grandfather. InuYasha Sr, the youngest. It was supposed to be Albus's turn.
But that's why we're so special. Because secretly, though my siblings and all my cousins have no idea. We all have the Tashio power.
We must use it now. Our parents are taken by Naraku and the Ministry. And I have to find a way to explain. My mother somehow left me a clue to that. She always left a clue.
But that isn't what this story is about. This is about how this came to be. This is the Eye of The Storm. My parent's traveled to it. Now it was our turn to fight our way out after the little peace of 16 years…
Chapter 1
Beginnings
I caught myself in the mirror.
Groan.
Harry chuckled still laying in bed as the sun ruffled through his hair, thin, and perfect and just turned 18. I looked down at my ring and snorted, and Engaged.
I was eight months pregnant today, in our new house staring at my bloated body in my old mirror in my room.
Harry roared with laughter as I pulled up my shirt, now an XL when I was a well… M, hey I had girls okay?
Girls. Please they had graduated to women since our baby had a sudden demonic growth spurt. And so had my stomach.
I sucked in, unable to make my own personal dining table any smaller. I was huge.
I shrugged. Harry hasn't left me yet.
That morning I wore my yoga pants and tank. No way was I getting into jeans. Harry in his stunning wizards robes drank coffee talking about his rushed acceptance into the Auror Department.
'We're still try to petition the Half-Demons out Yashie. But since Kingsley lost to Bishop the Ministry is getting harder and harder to work at.
I nodded, him going back to Yashie. But only in our house, and the house of our closest friends and InuSuke's and my parents house.
That happened when the Ministry choked down on "Half-Breeds". It had been spread that InuYasha and Harry had separated and I was back in the Feudal Era. He had dumped her for Dumbledore's mysterious love child who had come to Hogwarts after her mother died, Breeanna Smith.
I rolled my eyes, I used the name before, never knew it would be permanent.
I patted my belly as I drank my tea as Harry babbled on, until the clock struck 9:00 am. Then he got up from his chair. 'I'll see you at noon my love.'
I kissed him remembering I had an ultrasound today. 'And we're finally decided? We find out the baby's gender today?'
Harry kissed my nose. 'Anything else would literally drive me crazy.'
I laughed, 'Crazy isn't so bad.'
Harry smirked. Then kissed my stomach, 'Don't pop, kid. I wanna be there.' rubbed it then Apperated right there.
I sat down, with difficulty, and looked at my ring. Well, Lily's ring and remembered that night when Harry defeated Voldemort, and put a good wound in Naraku.
'So… you want us to seal our powers?' I asked the Portrait after I had placed the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore's tomb, I had my Phoenix wand since Harry had his.
Albus nodded. 'You and your baby won't be safe with you two as demons and a half demon. They themselves will have their own destiny if you give them the chance to live it.'
Harry rolled his eyes. He had just became demon, it was a hard thing to give up.
I grabbed the clear jewel allowing myself to focus on what I wanted to look like human. In my last moment's of demonic power, I heard Harry do the same.
My energy was gone, I knew that. I had brown curly hair and brown eyes. Nothing like my life before was used to. I patted my belly. It was to late for this thing though, it was part demonic, I could feel that.
My silver phone buzzed, it was Hermione. She was out to the Burrow, planning Harry's and mines wedding. We decided to do that after I got the little monster out of me.
I yawned, my energy sucked already.
I grumbled lumbering up the stairs towards our bedroom, looking forward to the king bed. I felt slushy, like every liquid inside me was sloshing around in my stomach.
Until it felt like someone through a water balloon, and with a popping feeling a sudden gushing feeling, My black tight yoga pants were suddenly dripping wet in my crotch. And then suddenly it felt like someone punched me in the stomach.
I looked down at my stomach and asked the thing. ' Really?'
Harry:
Harry scuffled papers on his desk in the Head Auror's office, thinking about Yashie. Knowing he should have stayed with her all day instead of working for three hours.
He wondered what the gender of their baby was, not that he cared really.
James or Violet, Violet or James.
That played in his head a lot, thinking about the nursery. And the concept of "Father".
'You'll be terrified the moment before you'll see your baby.' InuYasha Sr. said. When Kagome had Yashie and Kayla, I wasn't allowed in the birthing room. It was tradition back then.'
'I could hear their breathing and Kayla's whimpering from the outside, a lot of second guessing. It was one of the most terrifying moments of my life.'
'And when you saw Yashie and Kayla?' Harry had urged desperate to know his experience so he could compare to his own.
InuYasha Sr. smiled. ' As soon as I held Yashie in my arms for the first time.' His eyes in a far away place, about two hundred and one years ago. Yashie rubbed her father's back from InuYasha's Sr.'s other side. ' I knew she was fine, and safe. And perfect.'
Harry napped back into the present where his papers where now crumpled from him clenching them to hard. He placed them on the desk faintly wondering what the next two months would be like.
Just then a pale faced Ron ran in and tripped, falling on his face.
'Ron are you okay, mate?' Harry asked rushing to his best friends side. Ron nodded going even paler, it matching oddly with his skin colour. 'I am, But Yashie's not.'
Harry's eyes widened. ' What's wrong with her Ron?'
'Hermione just called, she went into labour about an hour ago.'
Harry jumped up and placed his hands on Ron's wrist. Ron pulled it back. ' No way am I going with you. Call me after the screaming's done.'
Harry ran through the hospital swiftly following Kagome. He heard Yashie before he got half-way down the hall.
'Miss. Smith, you have to calm down,' reasoned a motherly voice 'Your almost to ten and this won't be any easier if your screaming your head off at every-' The was a beep.
'For freaking sake just shut the hell up! Yashie's voice screamed as her pained pants sounded from outside the thick door.
Kagome chuckled, 'I always knew Yashie would handle childbirth better then me.'
Harry gaped at his soon-to-be-mother-in-law. ' Better?' As he heard Yashie moan in pain.
Kagome smirked and chuckled again. 'I was bellowing at the top of my lungs and begging for someone to kill me. InuYasha Sr. almost ripped poor Keade's house to bits.'
Harry considered that, Yashie cried out again, wordless this time.
He opened the door to his very pregnant mate, he tried to focus on her face, not her body and the staff members around them.
Her brown hair was in a loose bun, but a few sweat stuck hairs wondered her face. Her brown eyes saw his ad it burned with agony.
Harry held her hand, and was secretly glad they were both human. Because if she was squeezing this hard as a half-demon he would be in a different room, getting a crushed hand treated.
Yashie full out screamed this time, and he realized that they had told her to push.
What? His stomach fell into knots. He wasn't ready, his baby was coming now. And he couldn't stop it. What if he failed and the baby became some crazy thing that did drugs and murdered people.
Harry took a glance down to where everyone was staring and suddenly felt very dizzy. He gripped Yashie's hand back to keep him from passing out, he wanted to look away.
But he couldn't just like a car accident, once you see it you have to watch.
He saw black hair. Then he shut his eyes as Yashie let out a pained filled cry.
He felt Yashie squeeze harder three more times knowing she was pushing. He opened his eyes to see the doctor's hands very close to where only Harry's should have been allowed.
With one last strangled cry from Yashie, another started to cry. A black haired black eyed someone.
'Congratulation's Mr. Potter, Miss. Smith. You have a beautiful baby girl.'
Violet.
After a moment they gave her to Yashie, allowing Harry and Yashie some alone time with their baby.
'Hello Violet.' Harry whispered. 'We've been waiting a long time for you, my baby girl.'
Something flashed across Yashie's face. Was it pain?
Yashie smiled. 'Just sore.'
Harry kissed the forehead of his new daughter. Then got up and had a little announcement to make at the Burrow.
