"I see, this house and Harry have blood wards..." Dom said aloud "That's why he was given to you but they'll accept me, they only won't allow anyone with negative intentions towards Harry within the household." Harry could hear Dom's muttering and seemed to hesitate a bit before asking.
"What are wards?" Harry asked "Will it affect us leaving the Durselys?" Dom's eyebrows raised at this last statement, a lot of his kind had a derangement of Multiple personality disorder and Harry's unconscious wording/changing speech reminded him of it. They'd do it when they thought of the other personalities or when one of them would come out. This made changing Harry later more acceptable since his kind generally changed the insane and being insane before hand made it easier.
"Wards are a type of protective magic and blood wards are generally family related." Dom told Harry, smiling at how attentively Harry was listening. "It will make you leaving very tricky since the man who put up those wards in the first place also has a tracking ward. However, I could always teach you, despite this, it only requires you to be inside the house/area for a couple hours a day for at least four weeks to charge them." Harry's eyes brightened at that statement.
"Really, you'd teach us?" Harry asked then Dom saw an immediate proof of MPD when Harry's behavior started to seem a lot older afterwards. His posture became more like someone sure of themselves but also somewhat like a noble. "Good, I'm getting tired of the lack of information those fool muggles tell us." The new personality said in a rather irritated tone.
"And you are?" Dom asked with honest curiosity and added when the current personality showed surprise at Dom's lack of surprise "Multiple personality disorder among my kind is common since we often turn those who are already insane since our line guarantees insanity. In fact, I believe one of my blood siblings also has MPD." The personality nodded, looking at him with eyes that were surprisingly a matching red.
"I'm Thom Marvalo but since you are taking Harry and I from these muggles, call me Thom." Thom told him with a bit more friendly a tone of voice "Also, technically, I'm not completely a personality but you are right. Harry does have MPD thanks to this dratted muggle."
"I see..." Dom said, while trying to think of how to word his questions. "May I ask what you mean when you are referring to the man as a muggle? I'm not quite familiar with the terminology..." Dom paused for a moment to think of any other things Thom had said an added "Also, How are you not technically a personality, other then the eye changing, which is certainly strange." Thom raised an eyebrow at the last statement.
"Harry's eyes changed colors? Really? Hmmm... Metamorphagus potential I see... Not really surprised since Harry did grow back his hair in one day a month ago." Thom said in surprise then under his breath before adding in a sort of drawl "As for muggle, you aren't in contact with wizards that much ARE you? Muggle is the wizard term for those without magic. Anyways, I believe we have kept Harry's uncle waiting long enough, let's go in." Thom walked inside and Dom followed thinking of the fact this boy seemed to be able to shapeshift his human features. Also how strange it was that this personality was aware of the mag... wizards when Harry was not. He'd have to ask about that when he asked why Harry needed blood wards. Dom HAD noticed Thom had not answered how he was not a personality but decided to wait til later.
Dom walked into the house and had to resist the urge to rip the man and his wife to shreds all over again. The house was disturbingly clean but the worst thing about it was that there was no sign of Harry.
"The freak already had his cast set?" A female voice said from the kitchen, getting closer to the door. "Did they believe what you said? We don't want the neighbors gossiping about us, specially about the no good bo..." Petunia shrieked, witnessing the vampire who looked like he wished to kill Petunia and her husband. Petunia would never admit this to most people, but she recalled every bit of magical knowledge said around he by her sister, her sister's husband and the dark boy who was her sister's friend. So she certainly remembered how to identify a vampire and the fact that the man was showing his fangs along with red eyes made it all the more clear. she was glad her dudders was at a friend's house right now rather then here dealing with this freakishness. "What are you doing here? I thought your kind don't generally deal with the freaks..."
Dom raised his eyebrow. "We don't..." Dom told her "But how is it someone as magic phobic as you recall any information on my kind?" Thom looked on with amused interest as his aunt panicked and tried to speak words.
Eventually, she got out. "How could I not forget the information from my FREAK of a sister, her friend and her husband!!" Petunia said "Her world is the REASON both Lily and I lost our parents. The reason she and her husband got blown up which left the boy with me." Thom looked angry now... He was going to murder them, or at least scare this muggles.
"I finally get what you two have been hiding." Thom told them with an angry hiss to his voice that made him sound more like a snake. "I mean, I already knew from how you punished Harry til he created Freak when he did accidental magic that you were magic phobic but Harry's mother was a muggle-born witch, wasn't she? To... Voldemort doesn't even need to continue his campaign against muggles, he just needs you two as an example." Vernon was turning the very dangerous purple he always turned when magic was mentioned while Petunia looked shocked. "Yes, you are exactly like what the wizard who kills muggles thinks muggles are like. The orphanage he got stuck in didn't help his views... The only reason he is not around and killing you is because of Harry...And the only reason I'M around is because of you, congratulations, you successfully made a Voldy!" Thom gave a hard, cold laugh that was a slightly higher pitch to a normal human. This laugh would send shivers up anyone's spine when they heard it and Harry would later remember a similar laugh on the day of his parent's death.
"I see... So you saved the wizarding world, took down an evil wizard and in return, got stuck here?" Dom said with a sarcastic tone, more annoyed at hearing about Freak though he wanted to ask more about why Thom knew so much. "Well, I think we both agree that it would be far better for you to come with me if that is how the wizarding world shows they are greatful to you..." Thom nodded
"I rather would then stay with them, Harry didn't wish to return here after you told him you'd take him with you, but he knew he'd have to come back for a confrontation with his relatives." Thom told Dom "So I, his most Slytherin part and less naïve of the personalities am out. I have a deal for these muggles, how about they pretend I don't exist for the weeks I stay here and they won't get killed by your kind. Malkavain vampires turn the insane so they are often more violent and irrational." Thom smirked when the whale and horse looked utterly terrified. Dom, meanwhile, could not resist his curiousity anymore.
"How do you know all this stuff?" Dom asked "I know your 'aunt' wouldn't tell you this and the different types of vampire, we have kept secret for ages from the mages so..."
Thom grinned a bit sheepishly "Ahh, ok... The history for Harry James Potter is that he killed the Dark Lord Voldemort." Thom stated to Dom and Dom nodded and gestured to continue. "Well, something nobody knew is that a soul fragment lodged itself into Harry that night, which would've done nothing except make him a little more likely to be Slytherin and give him the ability to speak to snakes." Thom stated this for his relative's benefit. "However, frequent abuse similar to what Tom dealt with at the orphanage caused the soul fragment to meld with the first split personality, when Harry didn't want to be rebellious or smart in order to survive. Therefore, Thom was created from Tom Marvalo Riddle's soul fragment. Tom had tried once to get a alliance with the Malkavian vampires as a whole and failed miserably. He only got very few of your kind since you don't really have a structure other then the madness network. He did get a couple of Brujah, Nosfertu, Gangrel, Samedi and Caitiff. All were Antitribu and Voldy was trying to pretend they were not " Dom didn't at all seem surprised by this information and seemed a bit more relieved to have a magically logical explanation. Also, he was a bit surprised by the varied amounts of Antitribu Voldemort had gotten together without them killing each other but otherwise...
"That explains it..." Dom told Thom "Alot of dark wizards that have past have used the method Tom used to keep himself alive." Harry's relatives looked utterly terrified about this, specially his aunt while Thom was smirking.
"No worry, with Dominick here, I won't generally have to spend time at your house." Thom told them "For four weeks in the summer, we will come visit to renew the wards. I will go to muggle school and learn from Dom. In return, you do not reveal anything we have discussed involving Dom or the fact that I am not permanently living here or I will kill you the exact way Voldemort killed your parents." Petunia whimpered and hid behind her husband, who was a bright white before both Thom and Dom left the horrible place.
