Important Note!:The Demonata timeline I'm using is after Slawter, for Harry Potter it is at the beginning of the Half-Blood Prince, and for the Saga of Darren Shan it is somewhere in the beginning of Hunters of the Dusk!

Hogwarts?


Grubbs Grady POV

I woke to the sound of Dervish's screams. Dervish used to have nightmares all the time, but they died down before the events of Slawter and he hasn't had any after Slawter either. Here I was though listening to him yelling at the top of his lungs even weeks after Slawter. I rushed to him, tracing him by his yells. I heard the yells coming from the kitchen and stopped dead in my tracks. If he was having one of the nightmares he could have gotten a kinfe and start attacking me. But he was my uncle so I mustered up all my courage and stepped in the kitchen. But he was not having a nightmare. He was staring at a paper in his hand reading it thoroughly. By the corner of my eye I caught a tiny glimpse of a person walking out the kitchen door. "What happened." I finally asked. Dervish tore his eyes away from the table and told me to sit down.

"I'm very sorry Grubbs, but your changing schools." Dervish said. My jaw dropped a thousand miles, I didn't like school much, but I had a crush on a girl at my school named Reni. "There was a lady here that just left. A wizard."

"I thought there were only mages and magicians?" I asked now interested. "Aparrently not, back to the topic she said she was a messenger from a wizarding school called Hogwarts. There government which they call the Ministry of Magic has been observing us mages for a time and were looking for one that was a kid such as yourself. I told them no at first, but then I saw as how we could use this to our advantage. I told them about demons and that interested them. I said I would send you if they agreed to help us with the attacking demons. They agreed and now you have to go to Hogwarts for one term. After that term you don't have to go anymore. You will have to abide by that schools rules and you have to use a wand for classes."

"A wand!" I roared with laughter. "That's the most insane thing I've ever heard!"

"Just go pack your bags!" Dervish barked, but with a trace of laughter in his voice. I told him I would then went up to my room and started packing. But before I could go he handed me the letter and said "Thought you might want to read it." I did in fact and started reading it which said:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Dear Grubitsch Grady,

We invite you to attend a magical place of wonders. We hope you have a great experience here at Hogwarts.

Sincerely, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

This might be a interesting year...


Darren Shan POV

I felt someone nudge me awake and saw Harkat standing next to my body which was laying down on my hammock. "Wassup?" I asked.

"There are vampires everywhere...that are going to the...Hall of Princes!" Harkat said and by the way he said it I knew something important happened. Harkat and I rushed out of our cell and to the Hall of Princes. When we got to the doors of the Hall I saw tons of vampire swarming the entrance. I squeezed myself through and went straight to my throne. I looked to Paris Skyle and asked what had happened. He looked at me and said three things that would chill the bones of everyone who heard it. "Mr.Tiny is here." I looked somewhere to the middle of the room, stood up and squinted. I saw Mr.Tiny making his way through the massive sea of vampires. He finally came to the platform near the Princes. "Ah, good Master Shan is up and ready just like I told Harkat." Mr.Tiny said smiling. "What I am about to say is just for Darren, but any may listen if they wish. Darren is going to go to school for a whole year." The vampires all yelled at Mr.Tiny saying stuff like 'That's all!' and 'He's our leader we need him!'. Mr.Tiny stopped the from yelling by raising his fingers and snapping them. At once a large crack spread through the ceiling of the Hall of Princes.

"As I was saying till I was rudely interupted." Mr.Tiny said casting an eye over the vampires. "Him going to this school benefits all of you. It is a school of magic and he will learn at the hand of the best wizards in the world. When he comes back to his people he will still be a vampire, but will also know magic. Such spells like stunning, disarming, teleporting which the wizards call apparating, and my two favorites! The killing and torturing curses! All of the spells he will learn will be very useful to your clan. Especially since the Lord of the Vampaneeze has been found."

"Another thing I will tell you vampires just because I'm in a good mood today is that only three people can hunt for and kill the Lord of the Vampaneeze." Mr.Tiny said. "And one of them is not here so the other two are Larten Crepsley and his assistant Darren Shan. They can only start hunting for the Lord of the Vampaneeze after his school term. After that the real war will start!" The Princes removed the other vampires except for Mr.Crepsley and the Little People, including Harkat. "Why have you sent Darren to this school?" Paris asked Mr.Tiny.

"It wasn't I that chose him it was the staff of the school. I merely took the letter, which came by owl to the front of one of the tunnels leading into Vampire Mountain, and did not want Darren to get it. But after a while I got a feeling and now I give it to Darren." Mr.Tiny said as he gave me the letter. As I started reading the letter it said:

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Dear Darren Shan,

We invite you to attend a magical place of wonders. We hope you have a great experience here at Hogwarts.

Sincerely, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

"I have my reasons for giving it to Darren." Mr.Tiny said face illuminated from the red glow of his watch that he was fiddling with. "A wizard will come by to pick you up so don't worry about getting there." With that Mr.Tiny left. And I thought that day: This might be a interesting year...


Harry Potter POV

As Dumbledore and I left from Slughorn's house Dumbledore said "We will be making two stops on the way to the Burrow. Those two stops we will be picking up a new student at each stop. They will be staying at the Burrow with you and the Weasleys 'till the new term starts in September." With that we apparated to a room that was cavernous and amazing. "We have been expecting you." Someone said from the side of me. I looked to my right and saw people sitting on thrones. "Darren is ready to go." An ancient looking man said.

"Ah, you must be Paris Skyle." Dumbledore said. "I have heard you are a very remarkable vampire." Paris smiled and said "So I have been told, well Darren should be coming any second now" I looked at Dumbledore and said "Vampire?"

Dumbledore nodded and said "We are in Vampire Mountain and the new student we are to pick up here is indeed a half-vampire." At that moment a boy around my age entered the room with a small bag. Dumbledore waved his wand and the boy's bag vanished. "I sent your bags to the place you will be staying 'till the school year starts, Darren." The boy named Darren replied with a 'Ok' and joined Dumbledore and I. Darren took one last glance of the room then settled his gaze on a particularly ugly looking man. The man had a crop of orange hair on the top of his hair, tall , slim, dressed in red, and had a long scar going down the left side of his face. "Goodbye Mr.Crepsley, goodbye Harkat, and goodbye sires." With that Dumbledore grabbed Darren and I and we apparated to the next place which was a a kitchen. Two people stood in the kitchen a man and a boy around Darren's and my age. Dumbledore waved his wand at the boy's bags and they disappeared. He explained they same thing with the boy and said to the man "Ah Dervish Grady! It is a pleasure to meet you."

"A thrill for me as well." Dervish said. "Now like your messenger agreed you will send wizards to help us fight the demons, am I correct?"

"You are." Dumbledore said with a smile his half-moon glasses twinkling. I looked at Darren and saw that he was just as puzzled. Dervish grunted with satisfaction and said to Darren and I "By the way this is my nephew Grubbs if you kids didn't know." Darren and I shook hands with the boy named Grubbs and introduced one another.

"Well would you look at this." Dumbledore said. "One wizard, one mage, and one vampire!" Grubbs froze when he heard the word vampire. He looked at me, but I coughed into a fist and pointed to Darren. But Darren explained that vampires were good creatures.

"Bye Derv." Grubbs said. Dervish responded with a wave. Dumbledore grabbed Grubbs, Darren, and I and we apparated to the Burrow. Dumbledore asked for a few words with me in private as Darren and Grubbs wandered around the lawn talking. When we were done talking Dumbledore told Darren and Grubbs to join us. "Now you three will be staying here for a little while until the school year starts. The Weasleys are very kind and great people who I have deep trust in. Harry has been here before and will help you along with the Weasleys. There is also another boy here who is around your ages that you could befriend. Now let us go." With that we approached the front door and we heard a woman's voice say "Who's there? Declare yourself!"

"It is I, Dumbledore, bringing Harry and some companions." The door opened revealing a short, plump woman wearing an old green dressing gown.

"Harry, dear! Gracious, Albus, you gave me a fright, you said not to expect you before morning! And who are these young men?" Mrs.Weasley said.

"New students that will be attending Hogwarts." Dumbledore said. "Well I have urgent matters to attend to. Are you sure you can handle two extra Mrs.Weasley?"

"Of course I can." Mrs.Weasley said. "Come in now, are you all tired?" We all replied with a yes and Mrs.Weasley showed us to a room. We were so tired that we fell asleep just from sitting down on the bed!

Author's Note: For any Shan fans out there I have another story called The Lord of the Shadows Shall Rise which is what I think would have happened after the Sons of Destiny!
