Chapter 1: Thunder Rolls

Lightning crashes, a new mother cries

This moment she's been waiting for

The angel opens her eyes

Pale blue colored iris,

Presents the circle

And puts the glory out to hide, hide

-Lightning Crashes (Live)

Snowy Holly and Luna walk hand in hand after the rest of the dementors, a regal air about them, one that is expected of the chief and his queen in public. They had both spent the summer under Devourer and Wanderer's guiding hands, refining the ways that had been set in their minds from the moment they abandoned their humanity due to the fact that they must be poised and perfect in public, something that still refuses to take completely in the two, much like it had for Wanderer. Their humanity refuses to simply just up and go away, even though Snowy Holly has spent more time as a soul devouring creature. Perhaps this is better, perhaps not.

As they, the entire school, sit down for supper, the arrival of Delores Umbitch- I mean Umbridge- sets the dementors onto a frenzy with her speech. "Thank you for those kind words of welcome, Headmaster." She looks out into the crowd, frowning slightly when her eyes meet the Snowy Holly's. "It's so wonderful to be here, looking at all of your smiling faces. I hope that we'll have a wonderful time this year." Her expression changes with a smirk. Each Headmaster here has brought new ideas and thought into this school, but things must change. The minister feels that a separation of abnormal and inhuman ideals and normal ones must occur and the destruction of the former as well. Enjoy your meals."

A scream of anger rings through the silence, but only the dementors hear it as Snowy Holly turned his translator off. His eyes glow with addicting amounts of power and the pumpkin juice in front of him freezes solid.

"Snowy Holly!"

He turns around to see his human friends and clan members running towards him on his trip to the second floor girl's lavatory. "Yes?"

"Wh-what did she mean, Harry?" Luna asks, for the first time using his human name in human language.

Every human looks at him with bated breath, fully expecting him to blow up at her for using that name. "Let's talk about this in a more private setting."

They nod, following him into the bathroom with more than mild curiosity, but before any of them can ask, Moaning Murtle appears. "Hiya, Snowy Holly."

"Hello, Murtle."

"Are you going to see the snake?"

"No." He smiles. "Have you been visiting her?"

She giggles. "She's a very nice one when she's not trying to kill you." With those words, she starts to float away, calling over her shoulder, "be careful!"

"I will!" He waves goodbye to her and bends over the sink that doesn't work, smiling to himself. §Open,§ he whispers, feeling himself slip into parseltongue, something he thought that he'd forgotten. At that command, the tunnel opens up for him. §Stairs,§ he hisses, and they form. He nods, and the procession follows him down.

The group's sitting in Slytherin's study, a place of tranquility for Snowy Holly, when he decides to tell them what's going to happen, what he and Markalis know will happen. "The ministry wants to eliminate our kind entirely." His head bows. "They want to finish what they started all of those years ago."

"What happened?" Blaise asks, concern on his face.

'Let me talk to them.'

'Are you sure that's a good idea?'

'Yeah. I'm not going to take over, promise.'

'I know, I trust you...' Over the summer, a kind of understanding had finally sunk in for the two of them, and know everything's fine.

Snowy Holly's eyes close, and his face changes, a giggle falling from his mouth. "You didn't have to give me this much control!"

'I thought I'd be nice.'

Markalis jumps up and twirls around, giggling louder. "Do you think we could do this when we visit Tom again?"

'Sure.'

"Oh, thank you, Snowy Holly. You're the best host a guy could have!"

Realization dawns on Luna's face first. "Markalis?"

He spins around to look at her. "Yep! The one and only Markalis Verkehren Tyler, or as my people knew me a long time ago, Rainbow Adder, the older adoptive brother of Devourer of Suns!"

'Your peppiness is appalling."

'Shut up.'

'I'm just being truthful. No need to be snappy.'

'You're an ass.' Out loud he says, "Luna, your boyfriend's an ass."

"Why?" she asks.

"Because he is."

'Bitch.'

'Only Tom's!'

Snowy Holly rolls his eyes. 'You wanted to talk to them, so explain.'

"Fine." The cheery boy turns around and sighs then sits. "The last time the ministry tried to end our species, they went into an almost all-out crusade, so we fled to our mountains. They couldn't follow there because we're from Russia. So this time, they may try to trap us, and they'll burn us into the ground. That is the only way to kill one of us other than natural causes. I think that they killed Rain that Drowns the Sea." A sad smile flickers to life. "I knew your aunt very well, Sloth of the Shades and Grace of the Fallen. She was with Requitor of Corruption the day he turned me into a dementor."

"Why'd they do it to you?" Shades asks, curious about another's story.

"One of the Fathers at the orphanage where Tom and I grew up tried to drown me, and I didn't want to die. I promised Tom that I'd see him again. I loved him, even back then. Maybe that's why everyone thought of us as demon children."

"You were dying too..."

"Yes, that is normally the reason why a human would be turned. Luna is the only exception to that rule here."

"You were dying?" Hermione says. "Why haven't you said anything about this before, Shades?"

"Because, it's not a normal thing to talk about. It's why none of us know why Snowy Holly was turned."

"I do..."

'Tell them.'

"He's says that I can tell you. Do you want to really know the dark truth?" The collective answer is yes. "After Tom killed his parents, he was sent to live with his aunt and uncle where he was locked up in the darkness. They almost never fed him or gave him water, none of the necessities. In time, I began to change him from the inside so he could survive on their emotions, or he would have died a long time. His hair started became grey, and his eyes changed to what they are now, and that scared his family further than when he learned to take care of himself. So his uncle started beating him to near death, and every time, I'd help heal him. So that fucking bastard began hunting him. He'd thought that he'd be able to kill Snowy Holly off without ever having to fire a shot. And Snowy Holly fell, cracked open his head, broke his back and most of his bones. So Vernon Dursley left him to die.

"That's when my brother found him. Devourer of Suns was looking for a present for Wandering Moon, when I made Snowy Holly call out for him, then he knew that I was there and turned Snowy Holly. Then he and my sister-in-law took little Snowy Holly to his family's house and had him suck out his uncle and aunt's souls to grow stronger and fix anything that was still wrong. Their son lives with his Aunt Marge now."

"How old was he?" Fred and George ask.

"Two and a half years old. He has almost no memories of his life with them... They only appear in his worst of nightmares..."
