Chapter Three
Concert
LAST TIME
They landed in the foyer of Leander's mansion. They walked silently into the meeting room. When they entered Raven saw his supposed grandfather, Albus Dumbledore, along with some of the other Order, including the Potters. There was also the entire English vampire council, and representatives from other countries.
Raven followed Leander over to sit at the head of the table, on Leander's right side.
He saw Charlie watching him, clearly wanting to talk with him, and the same look on his 'twin'.
"We have a problem." Leander started gravely. "We have received word that Voldemort will be launching his final strike somewhere within the next two weeks. This is not a joke. From what we have heard, we are talking the last effort, final battle, end, whatever you wish to call it, and it is soon."
Sharp breaths were drawn in, and soft whispers could be heard.
"What can we do to stop it?" Albus Dumbledore asked determinedly.
The royal elves were gathered around the room, relieved to see a picture. Elerossë was walking into an old worn out house, surrounded by others just like it. He didn't bother to knock, but rather just walked in.
Immediately guns and knives were pointed at him. When everyone realised who he was, with himself dressed in his normal way, he was pounced on by a group of people. He had to reach down and grab onto two shoulders' as he was lifted up.

Raven looked down to see Ross and Justin holding him up. He smiled slightly and told them to put him down. When he did, Kyle walked over to him and stared him in the eye.
Suddenly they both smirked/smiled and grabbed each others hand, pulling the other into a hug. 'Long time no see dude.'
'Hell ya.' He laughed.
'OH DUDE!' Justin yelled. 'You can do the concert with us now!' Raven frowned at him in question. 'Yanno, the concert… that we put on for winning nationals…??' he explained at Ravens blank look.
Ravens expression cleared up and he nodded. 'Ya, isn't Dom doin' that?'
'Hey, its cool man, we wouldn't be there if it weren't for you. 'sides, I wasn't part of winnin' it, that was all you guys.' Dom answered from the side. Raven looked at Dom's face for a minuet, before smirking and nodding at the other teen.
'You stayin' in tonight, brah?' Ross asked.
'Naw man, I gotta go out, been locked up to long.' Laughs were made around the room, and Ross nodded. The room started clearing out when Kyle and Raven started talking.
'You coming back later?' Kyle asked his friend.
Raven nodded reassuringly. 'Course, we got stuff ta catch up on… just, ah, don't wait up, right?' Kyle smiled, and nodded in understanding.
'A'ight, man, see ya tomorrow?' he asked
'Ya, see ya dude.'

Bright flashing strobe lights… grinding sweat covered bodies… a crowed room rocking with the base of a heavy metal song…
And in the middle of it was a teen with wild chestnut hair spiked with ice blue, sleek, muscular, flawless pale skin, marred only with the tattoos placed decoratively across his flesh. Half closed lids reveling flashing emerald eyes, and only black and blue TRIPP pants, slung low on his waist with beat up old converse hidden by hem of the pants.
He was completely in sync with the rhythm of the song, moving fluidly, drawing many eyes in the club. He had a sensual grace, but whenever someone got to close, ran hands in unwanted places, or kissed his bare flesh, the man would spin lithely away to continue dancing a few feet apart. He continued his dance even when an old man walked to stand in front of him. 'Can I help you.. grandfather?' he added mockingly after a brief pause.
'You can begin with stopping this foolishness.' Dumbledore said sharply. Raven's eyes opened to lock with the blue of the man who claimed to be his family.
'What foolishness would that be?' he asked sarcastically. Dumbledore gestured sharply at his half clothed form.
'Do you really think Bill would appreciate seeing you flaunting yourself like this?'
Raven slid smoothly to a stop. His cold eyes locked on the old mans before he spun and walked to the bar. 'Wild Turkey' He ordered sharply. Jim, the bartender, nodded and moved to get it for him. "Harry, forgive me, it wasn't my place to say that.' Dumbledore said behind him.
'Forget it.' He said carelessly, downing his drink.
'Harry…'
"If you keep hanging around, people are gonna start thinking im some old-man whore.' Harry said thoughtfully. 'Not really a rep I want… can give the wrong impression, ya know?' a cocky smirk was spread across his face.
'Can we talk?' Dumbledore asked quietly, not reprimanding him for his language.
'That's what we're doing now, ain't it?
'Harry..' Dumbledore said, warning creeping into his voice.
'Yes, Albus?'
Dumbledore took a deep breath and let it out slowly. 'Do you mind leaving old man, your kinda fuckin' up my mood.'
'Harry, that is enough. Now, are you going to stay here acting like a vagabond, or are you going to come with me and talk to your parents?'
'One, my parents are dead, and the Potters… and you… aren't related to me at all. Two, What the fucking hell is a vagabond?'
Dumbledore closed his eyes and counted to ten. 'We are still your family, we adopted you, magically. You cant just forget about that.'
'I cant just forget??' he asked incredulously. 'Umm, remind me, because apparently I forgot, just who the hell left me with… them?'
'Yes, we did, and it was a mistake, but you can't change the past.'
'So stop trying.' Raven said evenly. 'This..' he said sweeping an arm around the pounding club, '..is me. You cant change it, so stop trying.' He mocked.
With a mournful sigh, Dumbledore left the club, giving in for now, but not forever.
