Chapter VI

Discussions of the Dark and the Beginning of a Birthday

Far away in a place that oozes with darkness, a pale man and woman are sitting on thrones and calmly talking.

"Dawn, what are we going to do about the Nundus?" the man said.

If you came closer you could see both were deathly pale and had raven hair. The woman had cobalt eyes with speckles of red and the man had crimson eyes with speckles of cerulean. The man's eyes were slightly like a snake's. Both wore robes made of fine material in dark colors. It was obvious they were important and wealthy.

They were the Dark Lord Voldemort and Dark Lady Umbra Lamia ((Shadow Vampire)). That is if you aren't a close friend, then they were Tom and Dawn Riddle.

"You can get an alliance or destroy them like the Order of the Phoenix." This time the woman talked and revealed the glint of a pair of very sharp looking fangs. Revealing she was a vampire most likely.

"But how is the question. We know there are three leaders who go by code names. Venustas Phoebus ((Beauty Sun)) , the girl; Occultus Levis((Hidden Light)), the shorter boy that was rarely seen; and the most known and seems to have the most control out of the leaders, Tremo Caligo((Fearful Darkness)). It was Caligo the Dark Lord, Voldemort, was worried about. The man was more than likely the reason the Nundus were so put together by his leadership and strong mental state. If only he knew he was worrying about an unstable fifteen-year-old…

They were a loyal, tight-knit group that every member got their mind scanned for their intent of joining. It was hard to find them, let alone infiltrate them. It didn't help no one knew why they were involved in the first place.

The plan was to find their headquarters, propose an alliance, and if that didn't work, a full on attack. Tom Riddle didn't want to go through the last ditch effort due to the little factmost ofthe magical creatures and beings that weren't human were on their side. Hell, they had a giant or seventy.

He stopped his pondering when a small gasp was heard from his Dawn. He raised an eyebrow as she repeatedly viewed a certain part of some memory of one of the few times the Nundu leaders could be identified.

"What's so shocking, love?" ("Who knew our Lord could sound so normal?" some random Death Moocher said.)

The vampire's eyes had the odd combination of hope, fear, shock, and oddly enough, betrayal. "Tremo Caligo is a powerful vampire hybrid… Hybrids are rare, and are normally like what squibs are to wizards…"

Tom blinked. 'How and why does my wife know this…? Why was she telling me in the first place? Oh…yeah… Caligo declared war against the old fool and me… Well, no he didn't, but he was attacking us...'

Dawn either knew him by now to know what he was thinking or she poked in his head…again… She rolled her gem colored eyes and lightly whacked the Dark Lord on the head lightly. Maybe he would get some sense knocked into him. 'Men…'

"What was that for?" the feared Lord Voldemort whined.

"Think about it. Which half vampire that disappeared fourteen years ago that was very special to us that had an amazing amount of power?"

"Disaster…" 'How did I forget about my son? What a second… She was applying that I was being out-smarted by a teenager? Oh wait… It's the fact that he is probably ours that she was trying to get through…'

Harry was worried. Danny had the look that was almost identical to the Weasley twins when they were up to something. No wonder he was worried… The last time he has seen that look he ended up with gold and green hair for a week…

Oh well… Tomorrow was his birthday, so that was probably why…

Oh, man… One year, those two maniacs (Danny and Serenity) dumped buckets of confetti over his head continuously. Merlin…

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! YOU LIVE IN THE ZOO. YOU SMELL LIKE A MONKEY AND YOU LOOK LIKE ONE TOO!" Harry groaned and tried to use his pillow to block out Danny's very off key singing. Harry was willing to bet his ears were bleeding…

"Danny, shut up."

Serenity poked her head into the bedroom and grabbed Danny and Harry simultaneously and dragged them out of the room. Harry still didn't know how she does that because she's not even five feet yet, but makes up her height with her, well, curves to guys. Harry was on the short side too at 5' 4" and Danny being the tallest at around 5' 10-ish.

"Merry Christmas!" some random munchkin chirped. Everyone around that heard her just gave her a stare that read 'What are you on..?' Of course it couldn't be anything really bad because only those under thirteen were allowed in the house for population reasons.

A sound was heard in the only room with a fireplace. In this refuge where the majority of the occupants would benefit from therapy, there was the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the kitchen, and then the rooms. Don't ask…

"What was that?" Harry cautiously said. You never could be too careful in this madhouse…

The smirks that adorned the younger teens' faces weren't reassuring in the least.

"Your birthday surprise."

Now he was really scared—their definition of surprise was quite twisted to say the least.

Harry glanced into the next room and had a decent surprise, for once.

Inside and arriving by floo was all the Order members that meant something to him. The people he didn't like that much was there too... Please tell him that's not Snape scowling by the protrait.

"Remus!" Said werewolf turned around and looked at the flurry of black that was running towards him. He suppressed a grin. Harry was finally out of that nasty stage he was going through.

Remus looked around at the room where the house his cub was staying at that was owned by some of his friends. It had a neutral color scheme—Hogwart's houses wise—and had tones of little kids running about. The portrait of the wolf, lion, and raven playing made him remember happier times that he didn't want to think about... Too much pain.

"Ignore the munchkins scampering about. My friends saved them from the streets and pretty much raise them until they can fend for themselves. Quite odd now that I think about it because I'm older than both of them by at least a half of a year… Anyways…nice to see, but I need to get dressed."

Remus looked and noticed Harry was shirtless and wearing a pair of pajama pants. 'Why didn't I notice this before?'

Remus gave a small laugh as Harry ran out of the room.

"Where's Harry..?" Hermione asked. "Getting dressed."

Another boy poked his head in. Both he and Remus stiffened at the other's presence.

A blonde pushed him out of the doorway and calmly walked in. She was the only one not in her pajamas. The vampire Remus sensed was wearing a pair of navy boxers and nothing else.

"Thanks for showing. I was worried no one would be able to reach here… Danny get dressed. I don't know about anyone else, but I know some of the people here are uncomfortable about having a half vampire in his boxers in plain view," the girl said.

The vampire blushed and ran off in the same direction Harry did earlier.

The girl went around like any hostess would and was soon introduced as Serenity. She admitted she was half-veela when the twins wanted to know if Ronald was telling the truth.

This was some weird zoo wasn't it? Remus smelled so many creatures that he couldn't identify who it belonged to. That was saying something because the only other creature that had sense near a werewolf's was a vampire.

About ten minutes later, Harry and the half-vampire walked in with clothes on.

"Real men wear pink?" He couldn't help teasing his cub. It was too good to let pass.

"Shopping trip from Hell happened yeserday. Have you ever been shopping with a veela and vampire who decided that you have no sense of fashion?"

"I'm guessing I don't want to."

"Harry!" Hermione yelled and tried to throw herself at Harry. Too her surprise, Harry coldly moved away from her.

"Get away from me. Do you think that just because I sicked Danny on you means I will feel better and forgive you? Are you really my friend or the Boy-Who-Lived's? Do you really care? You yell at me then act like it never happened. What kind of friend tries to pull a guilt trip? Can you answer that?" Harry said in a composed voice that barely showed his rage.

What happened?

The vampire, whom he assumed was Danny, glared at Hermione for the both of the two teenaged boys. Remus felt scared for Hermione due to the boy's eyes were the sickly red that he has only seen before in Voldemort's face himself. This boy could out glare Snape.

Hermione looked hurt and left quickly to where Ronald was.

Danny's eyes quickly brightened and chirped "Come on Har'! Go open your presents! They're going to runaway!" …and the winner of the most mood-swingy teenaged vampire goes to Danny…

Harry rolled his eyes, but complied.
