A Hybrid's Fate


Chapter 4: Revelations Part 1

Today was the day that the Dursley's were leaving for their vacation in Cancun, Mexico and Harry couldn't be more excited

Why was he excited?

He was excited because he was staying with Alanna while the Dursley's were on vacation, which was 3 Weeks Long! Not only did he get a break from the Dursley's, which he was more than eager for because really, he didn't like the Dursley's anymore than they liked him, but he also, got to spend time with the closest thing he had to a mother.

Sitting on the window seal, he looked out at the sky and let his mind wander while he waited for Alanna to come and get him. He thought about what it would be like to stay with Alanna, what her house would be like, and what types of things they would do.

Getting lost in his thoughts, he hadn't known that Alanna had arrived until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Startled, by the sudden and unexpected touch, he jerked away in surprise only to fall off the window seal, to the floor. "Ouch!" He cried out. He blinked a few times and then looked around in confusion, until his eyes landed on Alanna. She had her hand covering her mouth, but he knew she was laughing at him because he saw her shoulders shaking and her eyes shone with amusement. Blushing slightly, he narrowed his eyes at her "Stop laughing at me!" He exclaimed in his embarrassment. He blushed harder when she continued to laugh at him and 'hmphed' crossing his arms over his chest and turning away from her, with a small smile of his own.

She laughed at him even harder, clutching her stomach. Once she had calmed down, she wiped tears from her eyes and said with a smile "Hadrian, Lovely, you are adorable. Now come along, we have to get you settled in my house." Taking his smaller hand into her larger one she led him to the kitchen where Petunia was scurrying around making sure everything was together before they left for their vacation. Standing in the door way for a few minutes, waiting for her to finish, Alanna finally said. "I've got Hadrian and we are leaving, I hope you enjoy your vacation." Stopping what she was doing, Petunia looked at Alanna and nodded, and then said "Thank you for the vacation and thank you for taking care of Harry... Alanna's smile tightened at hearing her call her son 'Harry.' "Harry… what and ugly name…" She mumbled quietly. But then her smile turned genuine, "It's my pleasure and I'm so happy that you agreed to go on the vacation." And she most certainly was. After this she, nor her son, would ever have to see the Dursley's again and for her, that was something to be genuinely happy about.

After talking to Harry's aunt, they left and headed over to Alanna's house.

On the way to Alanna's house, Alanna asked "I take it you've already eaten lunch, so what would you like for dinner, little one?" Pausing for a second, thinking about Alanna's question. Harry put his finger to his chin in thought "Well… what are my options?"

"You can have whatever you would like." Alanna said as they reached her house.

Grinning, Harry immediately said "I want salmon! It's my favorite!"

She nodded, while opening the door …"Okay, salmon it is then." She said as she led him into the house.

"I'll start cooking dinner at six. So that leaves us with two hours to get you settled in. How about I show you your room?"

Nodding Harry immediately took off, excited to see more of Alanna's house.

After showing him, his room, Alanna, told him that he could go look around the house, which he did so eagerly…

Running around, looking at everything that crossed his path, he stopped in front of the door to the only room he had yet to go in. Opening the door Harry went in. Looking around at everything, his eyes landed on a picture. It was of a little boy that looked a lot like him… Is this why Alanna is so nice to me… because I look like the little boy in the picture? Feeling a bit hurt at the possibility of simply being a substitute, he kept staring at the picture, thoughts running through his head about who this little boy was, where he might be, and why it looked so much like him, but more so like Alanna, with an otherworldliness quality that he simply did not have…

"Dinner's ready!" He heard Alanna call.

Setting the picture down where he found it, he walked out of the room still not able to get his mind off of the little boy he saw in the picture.

Sitting down at the table he ate his dinner silently and would look at Alanna occasionally when his thoughts question her… Why would she have a picture of a little boy, I don't see any children here? Could it be a nephew?

His thoughts plagued him the rest of the night


After having taken his bath and putting on an overly large t-shirt to sleep in (which are REALLY comfortable by the way!)

It was when Alanna was putting him to bed; after she had tucked him in and "I love you, little one" she said, and then kissed his forehead. "Good night, sleep well." She started to walk away, when he finally asked, in an effort to ease his bothersome thoughts… "Who is that little boy in the picture?... The one you have in your room."

Pausing in front of the door at the question, Alanna, then turned around. She looked at Harry with sad eyes and walked back over to him and sat on the bed. She pulled him out from under the blankets and into her lap, resting her chin on top of his head.

Leaning back into Alanna and pulling a stuffed bear into his arms, he got comfortable…

"Almost 7 years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, but when he was just 16 months old, he was kidnapped by a minister of my world. The minister took him away because he was afraid. He was afraid of what I was, and what my child was… and in an attempt to prevent my child from knowing who and what he was, he took him away.

After that I… I had was so distraught, I harmed a lot of people, that did not deserve it as I let myself drown in my grief, sorrow, anger... so many emotions, I was overwhelmed. I couldn't think, but when I came to my senses I went to sear for my child, it took me 5 years. Six months ago I finally found him. After searching high and low, I found him in the middle in a small house, with a horrible family, the last place I would have thought to look. "Hadrian, can you guess who that little boy is?" Alanna finished her story and looked at Hadrian expectantly.

"Me? You're my mother?" Alanna nodded, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why didn't you take me away from them SOONER?" Harry asked angrily, raising his voice at the end…

Putting a finger to his lips to silence him, she said "I did what I had to do. Becoming close to the Dursley family, until they trusted me, convincing them that I wanted to do something for their family because of how close we had become, and finally, getting them to leave you with me. It took time, Hadrian. I can't imagine them simply letting me take you away. Can you? Shaking his head, his anger disappeared. "I wanted to tell you, I did, but I couldn't tell you sooner because it would have made a difference in how you interacted with me." You'll not be going back to the Dursley's, though. I'm taking you home. "

Hadrian having calmed down a little looked at her curiously. "Home…? Isn't this home?" he asked in confusion.

"No, this is not our home, but we will talk more about it in the morning."

"Okay, but I have one more question" Said Hadrian.

"Yes?"

"Why did he take me away? What are you? What am I?"

Alanna smiled, "In the morning, little one. It is late and you need to sleep. "With that being said, Alanna placed Hadrian back in bed, tucking him in again…

Nodding his assent he said "Goodnight, mum… I love you"

Grinning when he called her mum and said he loved he she hugged him close for a few moments before letting go, then she walked away with a soft "I love you, too"


(Note- Harry from this point and on will be called Hadrian, simple. Alanna will be called mother on occasion… difficult to explain, but hopefully you understand.)

I'm still making corrections, I just wanted to get the chapter up. I'll have a version that has been betad soon.

AN: Meh, well, I hope you liked this chapter. Please review! Much love, Wolfy
