It was Halloween night, and Maria was sick of the ramble, she rubbed the bridge of her nose as she looked over paperwork, she didn't know why she felt so uneasy, something was happening, she looked at the picture on her desk, it was a wizard's moving picture. She was holding a tiny infant in her arms, cooing at him, as the infant played with her silvery white hair. Its been months, since she last heard from her blood-swore sister Lily.
Her mate was taking the twins trick-o-treating with a couple of human kids in the neighborhood.
A human servant that was serving a generational life-sentence to her family entered and bowed before her, "Your grace, we just received word of The Dark One's fall."
Maria perked up at this news but the saw the servant's face "At what cost" she demands of the servant. Maria slammed her fist on the desk as the man didn't answer her "Tell me damn it ."
"The Lord James and Lady Lily Potter." the servant responds, "It is said that the Headmaster of Hogwarts is to take the babe to his other relations."
"Page my husband and tell him where I'm going "
The servant bowed and thought about preparing a will and testament before he told the Lord.
Maria dressed in regular clothes and went to surrey to the home of the horse.
"Are you sure, you want to leave him with them, they are the worse sort of muggles." one voice asks unsure, Maria thanks to her night vision seen it was a older witch, who else would wear robes in the middle of non-magical human territory.
''Yes Minerva, there his only family left."
"I highly doubt that." Maria challenged as she stepped into the only lamp light to be seen.
The two jumped in surprise. "Lady Maria, its good to see you once more." Minerva spoke first and gave a bow.
"Under different tidings, I would have to agree but not this night." Maria states
"So you heard I'm sorry you both so close."
"Close enough to swear blood-kinship, there for I have legal claim on the child." Maria states
Dumbledore looks surprised at the statement but McGonagall looks pleased "Then i know for a fact Harry will be in good hands then"
Maria turned her attention to the sound of a motorbike.
"Ah here comes Hagrid right now."
Maria's whole being was focused on the child's aura, that seemed to call out to her own.
As soon as Hagrid landed, Maria swooped in and grab Harry into her arms. The child gave a coo and reached for her hair.
"Oh, Harry. You must have seen such horror this night." Maria states, as she pulled the child closer to her chest.
Harry snuggled in closer to her "Momma momma "
Maria's heart skipped a beat painfully and she turned to leave.
She got to her car and settles harry in the car seat and heads back to her home. She quickly got to the manor and heads to the nursery, Where Sesshomaru is waiting for her. "Is it true Maria, are they dead?"
"I want their traitor's head on a platter served for lunch!" Maria snarled quietly, her eyes flashing red.
Sesshomaru was shocked, she normally was not the blood thirsty one of them. He stood and went over to her. "And you will have it, dear James and Lily were my friends as well but for now we must care for our new son as they would have wanted.''
"Lily was my blood-swore sister, my blood demands justice." Maria states, as she looked at the sleeping year old in the crib. She left the room before her temper got the better of her.
Sesshomaru looks at his new child. "Don't worry, my pup. we'll get the man, who took them away." He calls a servant in and told him to watch the child till either him or Maria returns. He then took off to hunt the man who took his wife's sister away.
Maria went after Sesshomaru before he did something that would cause them such a hard time covering up.
"Maria, why stop me? We both know only two people would know where they hid themselves so I go after one and you the other." He was halfway out the manor grounds ready to get revenge on those who hurt his family.
"I rather doubt they hid themselves, one is Sirius and he would hunt down the traitor himself, and end up being caught in the middle. And Remus is to closely related to the demon wolves of Koga's." Maria reasoned "Just cause I want justice, I do not want to seek out the wrong party."
"Very well we will wait and see if we find clues to who did this.
"We are the supreme rulers of the demon realm, what would it say about us if we were the ones to bring back the demon vs human battle?" Maria question, "Yes, I demand justice but I do not want to seek out that justice on the wrong person."
Sesshomaru calmed down knowing Maria was right "very well we wait."
"You are still older by why I am the one who is more mature?" Maria questions as she leaned against her mate's side.
"Because you're the practical one of the two of us ." He wraps his arms around her and pulls her close.
"now I know why I lead the council of fraction leaders." Maria states, as they walked back into the manor.
"Yes indeed my love and in better hands the couldn't be."
They both go up to there rooms and check on their children and head off to bed to be ready to the next day.
On the other side of demonic realm, hidden from magical humans and the non-magical, was a Order of cloistered priests, monks, and priestesses that lived in their grounds never venturing out of their hallow grounds unless the great need of their services arose.
The Head priestess heard the bell pleading for sanctuary of their Order, she opened the door peering int the darkness and gasped as she seen a tiny bundle on the doorstep. In the bundle, she saw a small child sleeping peacefully.
She bent and gathered the child into her arms, "Its been awhile since a babe was left with our order, young one." Almost as soon as she picked the child up, she felt a heavy weight on the child's aura.
"The babe is one of us...by the Four Souls, could she be?" The Priestess questioned to herself
