I don't own Harry Potter or Vampire Diaries.
I don't have a beta and I apologize for spellgrammar in advence.
I think that, maybe, I am actually in love with you!
Harry James Potter, child of James and Lily Potter nee Evans. He was one year old and he knew nothing of his surroddings.
And so he didn't know as a dark figure aproached his small, happy home. One would think it to be a Dark Lord, but in this time things changed and the whole past and future are rewritten.
To start from the beggining, the choice of Tom Riddle. His first choice that led him down the path of madness was changed and it changed the course of future as we knew. He didn't made a horcrux and thus, never became insane with a splittered soul. Instead he chosed the other choice that was presented to him accidently and by a simple dream that he even forgot, but had a great impact on him. the dream was of great significent as it promised of love and safeness, home and family, something he wanted despretly deeply buried inside of him, under the mask of cool, collected and a perfect student.
Young Tom Riddle studied various Arts of a glorious magic and as such grew in mind and spirit. He found immortality on his many travels that ensured him he lived long without aging and he contiuned learning, immersing himself more in secrets of Magic until he returned and employed himselfs in Ministry, gathering followers and quickly raising himself in rangs becoming the Secretery of Minister. But as he was to be selected as a Minister himself he transfered his choice of careere on being a professor in Hogwarts in DADA, as he had firstly inetended, but had been refused.
And he stayed there, his followers swaming the Ministry, slowly taking over every department there was and influencing the young minds and public like he wanted thanks to his charms, popularity, carisma, power, intelligents and of course, immortality. They knew he was going to stay a long while.
He was also a Dark Lord Voldemort, but public knew him as an immortal Tom Riddle, a wizard in rang of Dumbledore and they knew of a rising Dark Lord Voldemort who was powerful and could bring a great change on them all.
Harry Potter was a young baby wiche parents loved him deeply and they were heartbroken when their beautiful boy was taken away from them one peaceful night.
We are returning to the night when a figure approached a cozy house in the middle of the night.
Katherine Pierce looked up at the house behind her hood. A child, a special, powerful child wich would be her levrege. It would be a shame for a child to grow without a proper guidence and a view of the world with a chance to be that great.
Katherine smirked briefly before moving through the wards and into the house. she was informed by one of her „friends" that had a sight to see who will become someone when they are born. And she informed Katherine that a child was born, one Harry James Potter, that will be a key to a changes that will happen and the one who is under his protection will be very well cared of. Others, who didn't and were on his bad side, could only hope he never find them. And that was why she was here tonight. she will raise this child and she will be his guaidence as he grew, making her later ultimately protected from everyone, especially Klaus.
Katherine was a master for disguise and it wasn't hard to get the loving Potter couple to invite her in their house some months back. They didn't even realised that she was a vampire, foolish they were. And know she just waited for oppurtunity.
She was quick to come to child's nursery and looked down at the sleeping babe. She knew that for it to work she'll have to take care of it, even if just fot a while. It was essencial for her plan to work.
Briefly, an image of her baby girl flashed before her eyes making her feel a twingle of sadness and regret before she controlled herself. Her baby was long gone and there was nothing she could do about it, so that should stay in the past where it belonged. She leaned down and with uttemost gentleness picked up the baby lifting it in her arms and settling it against her breasts as she moved with her vampire speed, careful of not josting the sleeping babe.
And that's how Harry James Potter became Harrison Stefan Pierce, son of Katherine Pierce.
Katherine was a master deciver, but as she planed on letting her Harrison to Hogwarts for both his safety, chance to became more powerful and learned ancient knowldge that wizards mostly kept from vampires that would benefit her greatly, she decided on cold truth.
She didn't hide her true nature from Harrison and he faced and learned about death very soon in his young life as Katherine killed when she wanted to and didn't hide it from Harrison if he wanted to see it.
She also told him clearly that she took him from his parents not because they were bad parents or didn't loved him, but because she loved him and needed him more and that they were a true family. and anyways, the young Potter couple died in tragic accident in one of the raids of Ministry's Unspeakbles. And Katherine didn't even planned that, sometimes everything falls into place withour her particular aid.
Harrison loved her vampire mother though he knew of Lily and she was like some a distant, beautiful dream where he pictured the perfect, normal family, but that was just a wishful thinking. If he ever had a choice of choosing that distant, sweet dream and wild, fun adventoures he got with Katherine he would pick a vampire any day. That dream was more of a goal he liked to keep in reach, but never truly reach for it.
In all his eleven years Harrison traveled the world meeting humans, witches and vampires alike. Even werewolfes that fascinated him.
He learned many things and elementar magic from the witches that were in debt of Katherine who lived amongst muggles since the Hunt of witches and that didn't went in Wizarding world, chosing to stick their secrets into family with it's family honour and trust. Most of them even forget about the world where Harry came from and didn't bothered being reminded by it chosing to live their life's simply, the muggle way.
Katherine thought him about adapting and surviving and also about having to have fun. She took him to most beautiful places, teached him things that couldn't be found in the books and made him ultimatly her son. But more about it later.
Harrison was excited about Hogwarts, manly the knowledge he will get there and depressed because Katherine wasn't there and she was the one that bring the name 'game' to a whole diffearent level, a truly exciting one.
In all years he spent with Katherine Harrison learned that Katherine was always up to something. Maybe she'd lay low a few years or months, gathering informations and enjoying herself before stricking again, living full lungs even though chased by an Original for over 500 years.
That was, as she said, a part of the fun. At least it is never boring.
And Harrison picked many of Katherine's charachter-her diviousness, her charms and her way of adjusting to things, being subtle yet leaving an great impact on others and, of course, her way of act. Harrison was an acter in itself, enjoying himself from time to time in playing his roles as Katherine's little brother, her lost son, her orphaned nephew, a child she picked from streets or someone who she took care of for a while.
And he loved games, but unlike her, he liked to watch from the sidelines sometimes, only appearing to fire things up a bit before dissapearing in the shadows again and enjoying the show.
And also he loved books, grimores, volumes, anything that contained knowledge.
And he was going to Hogwarts, the center of knowledge and he couldn't wait. He made Katherine promise to write and inform him about her newest intentions and scheming.
After a brief goodbye and a promise to stay safe and don't end up dead, on both ends and with Harry having a stock of vampire blood for emergainces and his daily dose they were ready to part.
Appearently, Katherine fed Harrison since she kidnapped him with her blood. First, small drops mixed with milk, then later food and then feeding him daily from her wrist a few large gulps of blood. She was curious of how it would react to a wizard who if becomes and vampire loses his magic, but becomes a very strong vampire, supressing ones with muggles origins.
It was riscky, since Harrison was to be someone powerful and influancel later on and if he losed his magic that would surely changed.
But the results were marvelous. Since it was Katherine blood it seemed to connecte them somewhat in blood, making him her son in almost every aspect. Harry was stronger and faster then most his age, maybe even managing to overpower a fifth year in a musle strenght alone even though he didn't looked like it. his senses were sharper and he didn't need glasses nor did he needed so much sleep as he meditate (wich was a deep rest and cleaning stress out of the body) and drank blood daily.
And what was best, it didn't deflat his magic one bit wich was brilliant in Katherine's opinion and positivly working in their favor.
As Harrison aborded the train Katherine felt a strange achness in her chest and she smiled somewhat sadly, but didn't supressed it, letting her feeling to get a best of her this time. They were coming back more and more since Harrison came into her life and even though she controlled them, sometimes she would let them come back full force.
Harrison reminded her of Stefan somewhat and that was why she changed his middle name after her former lover and a man she loved.
Harrison wasn't certantly a copy of Stefan, but more like Damon and Stefan mix and then his own charachter making him very special and interesting. He reminded Katherine of Damon's devious, playful and challenging nature, but still smart enough to play it right and with Stefan's kindness and ability to help and care from time to time. And then his own brilliance and enjoyment in traveling and learning, not fearing of getting his hands dirty. It was refreshing to have a being like that in her life for a while. Now was a time for a bit of traveling and getting informations and enoying herself.
Harrison will join her when he was out of school.
Skip time 7 years passed
Harrison smirked briefly as he looked on the fighting couple few feets away as everyone looked on. Lavender Brown and Pansy Parkison, once best, brief friends were traying to supresse each other in the best gossips they had after one betrayed other by making out with other's boyfriend and thus making a big scandel as they releaved numboures secrets of many that left others gaping in shock.
Harrison sighted quetly. It was a amusing, for a second, but this type of things didn't get to him anymore. He was the one that started that friendship entirely unknown by both girls and of course one who broke it up, it only seemed fair that he is the one that pulled the trigger that would kill their frinedship.
It didn't had the same appeal. He didn't though it would in the first place, it was a small hoby, but he was just so bored. He didn't see Katherine over christmas holidays as she was busy traveling America and instead spended it in Hogwarts for the second time ever. But, without the fun that Katherine proved that kept him entartained and with a firm restricton of cousing troubles there was little he could do to entartain himself. Without books and of course, his obssessions, he would pretty much died of boredom. Luckily for him there were still books in Resticting section that proved him worthy knowledge and of course, proffesors, but especially professor Riddle.
Everyone tried to prove themself up to the professor and everyone adored him no matter how strick he was about school work, he was just a too good teacher with handsome looks and a charisma that simply pulled people to him.
Fortunatly for Harrison, he grew up with Katherine Pierce who was as much as charmer as his professor and he knew how to resist and recognize the signs.
Though, he was also a bit miffed as much as intigured by his professor. Since he came to Hogwarts, professor Riddle was extra strict on him and was constantly testing him, making him work extra hard and not bother by giving him detentions he would always serve with Filch. Harrison also knew why. With all his Deputy duty and professor obligations, professor Riddle also had a selected group of bright students that followed him everywhere that he trained in secret in various arts of magic. Nobody that wasn't in group knew about it, but Harrison having a parently figure he did, found out in his fourth year.
He was always suspicious that Draco Malfoy (who he was on nutural grounds with) and his friends and some other got special approval and a smile in class that made everyone else envious. It also intrigure him how Malfoy and Riddle seemed to know each other on more personal level then just professor and student. But, Harrison could never find out exactly what it was and he was frustereted by it sometimes, espically when Malfoy and Riddle looked like they were scheming something together or with others Slytherins which would left Harrison aching for home and Katherine's own scheming and a need to be a part of it was great because he was, unknown by them, of course, feeling left out. He was a natural schemer and if someone was doing that and it was big (as it usually was with professor Riddle and those Slytherins) he felt the need to be a part of it or at least know what it was so he could monitor from the shadows, at least.
Harrison mourmed that he didn't had a teacher that would help him in studing branches of magic that weren't in school circulium, but that was only in Hogwarts. Katherine took it upon herself to have many witches and worlocks in her debt that would teach him over the breaks and summer or send him grimores that were filled by precious knowledge.
But, Harrison sometimes wanted a professor like Riddle that would teach him things that weren't in the book, but gained by expriience, like Katherine did. Unfourtunatly, Katherine wasn't a witch and could only teach Harrison of that which she picked up during centuries from witchfolklor which wasn't enough.
But, Harrison also didn't wanted to be an follower, someone who is awed by someone. Oh no, he passed that stage long ago and it was when he idolozide Katherine and he still looked up to her, but he grew and saw that she wasn't all flowers and sweetness, but that didn't ceased his love for her or seeing her as his mother.
Now though, there was a problem. Katherine had gone off to Mystic Falls to deal with some loose ends she left back in 1980's and he hadn't heard from her in a while. He wasn't too worried about her, but there was still a nagging feeling that he couldn't shake off.
And he got a answer to his uneasinest in form of later from, suprisngly, two Salvatores brother, vampires, that Harrison only knew by Katherine's stories and pictures. They contacted him, informing him it was an emurgancy and to meet them in Forbidden Forest wich he did, last night.
Harrison looked up at professor Riddle who was talking about a curse Impreio that they were covering that class.
He wanted to sleep and the soothing voice of professor Riddle didn't helped one bit. He was usually always alert becose of professor Riddle's sudden questions often aimed at him when he least expected them though he learned when it would be approximetly by now.
But today he couldn't concentred truly on the lesson and he had a terrible feeling in his gut. There was danger lurking for Katherine and him and he was tired as he was up all night reading a book on Blood magic and also having his little adventure in the middle of the night. Meditation and blood wasn't equal as a good night sleep though it helped greatly.
Spending half of the night meeting Salvatore brothers in the Forbidden forest didn't helped much to make him concentred nor need the knowledge of what they informed him. It was interesting and disorentending to say the least and they were exactly like Katherine discribed them in her stories she constantly told him for good night when he was young. Stefan, the caring, kind brother who was on animal diet (of course, when he shuts his emotions he is a pure Ripper. Talk about double personalitites) and Damon, the cocky, impulsive brother who always tries to be a hero.
They came overnight, after ensuring that Elena Gilbert, a doppleganger, was safe in their house that was now on her name with her best friend Bennet witch. They gave him a quick update of what happened and why Katherine appeared. Apperantly, Katherine was a lover of both Salvatore's brothers in 1860's where she played Katherine Pierce an orphaned from Atlanta where Giusseppe Salvatore took her in and she came into town with her best friend Pearl and her daughter Anna where Katherine turned few people into vampires. To make it short she had fed Salvatores her blood all the time as they were together at once, but she had to compelle Stefan because he was afraid of her. The towns people started inserting vervain and Katherine made a deal with George Lockwood who was a werewolfe resposible for few death that he assigned to vampires. They planned on killing vampires in church and George was to let her out before the fire consumes them.
Damon, madly in love, made a deal with a Katherine handmaid Emily Bennet who was a witch to protect Katherine and vampires by sealing them in the tomb under the church. They would mumifate through time, but be alive.
Damon planned on opening the tomb by a help of crystal that was a sealing key of the tomb and he needed to wait a specific time to pass for a crystal to work again. In the end, tomb was open, Katherine wasn't there, but it posed problem for Katherine as the vampires from the tomb wanted revenge and her faked death discovered wich would be bad for her, informing Klaus she was alive.
You see, for 500 years she was running from an original Klaus that hunted her as she escaped him. she had safeness as they belived she was dead, but if the word spreads she will be hunted as intense as before, even more so. And that was why she went into Mystic Falls to destroy the vampires. Of course, Harrison already knew that.
Unfortunatly, while thevampires were dealth with, her quest into getting the moonstone (which was her leverge against Klaus) ended up in her sealing into the tomb by angry Salvatore's who she betrayed when she faked her death and were angry at her for harming town people and treathening Elena, their new love obssession. She was later, after getting out of the tomb and planning on getting rid of Klaus with Salvatore brothers, brought to Klaus.
She, however, took precotions of ensuring by one of the witches that were in debt to her to make a spell on Salvatore's compelling them to inform Harrison of her dismay and thus they were here. After they laid everything before him, Harrsion promised to come to help Katherine and possible find a way of Elena surviving the ritual.
After the meeting he send messagess to right people informing them what they needed to know and returned to the castle getting zero sleep. And now he was here, in a stiff classroom with a soothing voice that was making him drowsy.
„Mr. Pierce? Would you care to answer my question?", Harry looked up at piercing red eyes of Riddle. Damn it, he missed it.
Harrison looked at his professor defiantly and was about to open his mouth when a door burst open to admit an third year student who was slightly panting before saying.
„Professor Riddle, Mr. Pierce was to go to headmasters office. It is important."
„Yes, well, so is my lecture. The class is ending in two minutes so there is no need for Mr. Pierce to leave right away. You can go, Mr Anderwson.", the third year nodded hesitatly, not daring to defia to the powerful professor and went out once he glanced at Harrison briefly.
„Mr. Pierce, we are waiting."
Harrison glared as he packed his things after the end of the class. He didn't know the answer and those two minutes were spend in having Harrison humiliated and lectured about importance of paying attention like he never once payed attention in all his years. It was higly irritationg and if there weren't those specific boundries set up by Katherine he would come up with a plan that would leave Riddle off of him.
As he walked out of the classroom he felt professor join him.
„Professor?", Harrison question tightly not looking at Riddle.
„I was going to see Headmaster anyway so we might as well go together.", professor Riddle answered. „If you don't mind?", he added mockingly and Harrison just glared ahead of him. if he just could... oh there would be a hell to pay much later.
They finally made their way to Headmasters office in tense silence even though Riddle seemed at ease as he walked.
As they entered in a circled room Harrison saw Headmaster with twinkling eyes and Lucinda. Harrison smirked faintly. Right on time, as always. She was here to bail him from school for as long as it is needed so he could find a way to negotiate Katherine's freedom and find a way of Elena survaving. At least that part he knew where to start, Necromancy. With Katherine he didn't know how to get them both out of Klaus's clutches with clean slates. And that meant researching and to start from the ritual that Katherine escaped from in the first place. He already had everything set, but time was slipping away from him.
„Mr. Pierce, Tom, please, sit. Mr. Pierce, Mrs. Woldock came informing me that you will be absent for a while for anticipating in a festival of Nature.", Dumbledore said smiling. Harrison smiled at Lucinda who smiled faintly back. He knew she wasn't comfortable being in Hogwarts or in Wizarding world. they were too diffearent now in their views about many things – magic, muggles, way of life, developing... many aspectes.
„Festival of Nature?", professor Riddle question, looking intrugerly at Lucinda. Harrison had no doubt he already knew that she was a witch and that from Witchfolklor that lived in families, like brothers and sisters.
Lucinda looked at Tom Riddle with her dark eyes. „Yes, Harrison mother, Katherine, wished for Harrison to participate in learning all ways of nature, magic and abilities. I am his teacher when he is not in Hogwarts and he is accepted in my family as our brother.", her eyes dared them to say othervwise and both man, wisely kept their thoughs to themselfs even though Harrison saw a calculative gaze in both eyes of two wizards.
„Harrison.", she looked at him and Harrison smirked. „We should leave soon. Pack and be ready in an hour. The portkey will be waiting.", there was a distate when she said portkey and Harrison supressed a chuckle, knowing she didn't like wizards way of traveling, but it was the quickiest way and time was an essence here. No doubt she came here by the same means. Harrison nodded and after polietly nodding to headmaster and his professor, he left.
He didn't had many to pack since he was always organized and always ready for going. Courtisy of Katherine and he was accustemed of moving suddendly and always being ready for a trip. He packed some books, changed his uniform for a simple black muggle dress pants, a silk black shirt and leather shoes before throwing over himself a wizarding robe with silver clasps wich he button up, leaving only a few end buttons and first button opened. Miniaturing his things he exited dormarty. He didn't truly had friends only assossicates and people he needed for something. They were means to the end as Harrison couldn't see most of them as anything else then fun and in Katherine's case, food. So in that case he didn't had to say goodbye to anyone wich would be just a waste of time right now.
There were few Slytherin's and Ravenclaws and others, but they would never understand Harrison views fully and truly or be at ease with thing Harrison was.
Not this young anyways.
Lucinda was standind before the gates of Hogwarts looking at the distant lake and Harrison quickly approached her and she turned towards him, apology in her eyes. harrison narrowed his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.
And then he got his answer. Professor Riddle was coming towards them with his traveling robe over his arm and a wicked smirk in place.
„Well, Harrison, it seems I am coming with you.", he said, a mocking tone in his voice and Harrison glared. He was not happy with this, at all.
Oh someone is going to die.
