Chapter 7

Violet eyes watched his great grandson, while he couldn't be classed as 'living' he was still very much alive, something that he found vastly amusing. Silver hair fell around his face as he continued to watch, a small smile played on his lips. Sometimes he wished that he was there with Harry, that he would be able to help and guide him but living in the void was interesting that was for certain.

"Watching him again?"

He turned around and looked at his lover, death. It was strange how they had came to be but he wouldn't change it.

"Indeed, he seems happy."

Death wrapped his arms around his lover, they had been together when Hadrian had been human. It had been hard for them to be together and they had to overcome some of the most painful and devastating obstacles that anyone had known, he had not told Harry that he had a lover who was his great grandfather. But he knew that Harry would be happy for him, it had taken Hadrian centuries to get past his shields and with Harry's help the two of them had got together, something that death was grateful for.

After all his master had helped him understand just what he was feeling and why he was feeling it, that didn't mean that he didn't feel emotions with Hadrian he did, he just hadn't known what they had meant but now he did. He rested his chin on Hadrian's shoulder and closed his eyes, here was another stolen moment. With his job it was hard for him to spend time with Hadrian, there was always someone dying and a soul that needed to be reaped. That was just how life was, however in the cases that people died early?

Then they got a second chance, they were normally reincarnated but Hadrian hadn't wanted that instead he spent his time with death, he missed his family or what was left of it and death couldn't blame him but he was also happy that he was the first person that Hadrian had chose. But that didn't remove the longing in his eyes or the way he would look at Harry with regret, he knew that Hadrian loved him it was easy to see, it was in his actions and in his eyes.

"Do you want to see him?"

Violet eyes looked at him, Hadrian's lips were pulled into a frown as he looked over what was happening. They were fools for not believing Harry, it was clear to see that Harry wouldn't do something like that yet he was being blamed.

"Perhaps."

Death chuckled and nipped his ear.

"That is not an answer and you know it."

Hadrian sighed yet he still turned around and wrapped his arms around death.

"We both know I would love to be with him, I love him as much as I love you and that isn't going to change. But right now he is lost and confused."

Death understood what he was saying and knew that while Harry needed help Hadrian was not going to leave him, no matter how much he wanted to help Harry.

"Then go to him."

Violet eyes became wide as Hadrian looked at his lover, it was clear that this was not what he was expecting.

"Are you sure?"

Death nodded his head, jet black hair falling around him as he did so.

"While you are no longer human and are my equal in some ways, he needs you just as much as you need him. I can always come and visit you should you want me to."

Hadrian smiled and pulled death in for a kiss, when the two parted Hadrian was panting and looked at death with hooded eyes.

"I may be you equal in some things, but we both know who has the upper hand here."

A smirk came onto death's face as he looked at the hooded eyes of his lover.

"Why don't we enjoy our last moment together?"

He didn't need to say anything else as he was pulled along to their rooms.

~~~~~ Harry ~~~~~

One month, three weeks and five days. That was how long he had been living in the castle for, it had also been a week since Chelsea had tried to kill him something that still had the castle tense. Many of the guards were still tip toeing around the kings, despite the fact that she had been stopped and there was no lasting damage they were still in a very foul mood, something that could be understood.

It was a natural reaction for any newly mated vampire, and it was the same reaction that many mated vampires had done, the fact that she was alive spoke about their self control. However that didn't have anyone fooled, the darker than normal eyes and the way that they would glance at the dungeon told everyone just what they wanted to do and many of the guards pulled double shifts to make sure that the kings hadn't some how gotten to the dungeons.

There was also the fact that Jane and Alec were refusing to leave Harry's side no matter who had told them to do so, Harry however wasn't that bothered and enjoyed the time spent with the twins. He had to stop them from going down into the dungeons and dealing their own brand of justice at Chelsea but he wouldn't have it any other way, there was also the issue that the kings were also spending more time with him.

While he had enjoyed it at first it was now beginning to get slightly ridiculous as they were there when he woke up and when he went to sleep, there was also the issue of them becoming like overbearing mother hens, not that Harry would tell them. He knew that more than half of the guard were laughing themselves silly by what was happening, not that he could do anything about it.

Still when he wasn't being smothered he found himself feeling lonely, which was strange as he was in a castle filled with other beings. He was also careful with his magic as well, he didn't want someone to see it and then it would open up a can of worms that he wasn't ready to open yet, he knew that he would have to tell them but at the moment he felt so lost that he wasn't sure if he could tell them. It wasn't like he was going to walk up to them and go.

"I come from a different dimension one where witches and wizards lived! Guess what? I am a wizard!"

He would be checked into an asylum before he could even blink, and that was something that he didn't want to happen, but he knew that he couldn't keep secrets from them. He knew that they would find out and when they did they would be angry at him for keeping such secrets, but he didn't really have that much of a choice.

The guards had already shown that they didn't really care about him, yes there was the couple that did care about him. But for the most part many of the guards liked to pretend that he wasn't there, and didn't exist. A Long time ago it would have upset him, he would have done all he could to be accepted, but now he was tired of doing things for everyone else and nothing for himself. After all most of the wizarding world had planned his life for him and he had only been 11 at the time, so Harry had decided that they either liked him or didn't like him, he wasn't going to bother with people like that anymore.

He knew that with the little display that Chelsea had done and how the kings had reacted many of them would be wary of doing something against him, while they would think about it they wouldn't do anything for fear of being killed. Not that the kings would kill them straight away, the would take their time and make them suffer. Chelsea was still in the dungeons and was still in pieces no one had pieced her back together yet and since they hadn't been told that they could she had been left.

"Harry."

He turned and looked at Caius who was stood in the doorway, while the brothers would often visit Harry together they also liked spending their own time with him.

"Caius."

Caius walked further into the room and looked around.

"I see Jane and Alec have finally left you. "

Harry shook his head.

"They needed to feed, I have no doubt that they will be back here after they have fed."

Caius nodded his head, for sometime he and his brothers had been like that. They weren't ashamed of how they reacted but rather why they had reacted like that, if they had only listened to what Harry had to say then none of this would have happened in the first place, still it was something that they were trying to put right even though it was far harder than what they thought it would be.

Harry wasn't soothed by sweet words or by gifts, it was hard to show Harry that they were sorry, that they hadn't had meant what they had said. But it didn't work out like that and things in life rarely if ever did work out the way people planned it, but that didn't mean that they weren't going to try, they were and they would do everything in their power to show Harry.

Caius watched as Harry sat down on a chair and stared into the fire, it was how they often found him these days, before he would have been curled up with a book but that had been before this, that had been before the mistake they had made. However they would show Harry in one way or another, they just hoped that they didn't lose him before then. It was clear that he was more guarded with them, that he had put part of himself away so to speak. None of them had wanted that, none of them had wanted to feel as if he needed to keep things from them, that he needed to hide how he felt.

Still the great wall of China wasn't built in a day, they knew that they would need to go slow once again possibly even slower than what they were before, but that was their fault and they were not going to deny it or pass the blame onto someone else, while some of the blame rested with them and Chelsea they hadn't thought about what would happen.

For being as old as they were they could sometimes forget things, it wasn't intentional but rather they had that much to do that it couldn't be done in a single day. Sometimes it would cause problems and there was nothing they could do about it, but this time they had came up with something that allowed them to spend time with Harry. When one of them had a free moment they would spend it with Harry, while it wasn't a lot and they knew that Harry needed to eat and sleep it had been working out well so far. But even then they would sometimes end up missing days because there was far too much to do, despite having super speed they couldn't be in several places at the same time. No matter how much they wished that they were able to be.

Still things weren't all doom and gloom, while Harry was a little more wary with them and he didn't trust the guard fully save for a few members they were forming a united front, there was already rumours that Chelsea had attacked their mate something that he hadn't counted on, they knew that it would happen but they hadn't taken into account just how quickly the rumours would spread. Caius looked over at Harry who was still sat in the chair, he hadn't moved for sometime and while normally that would unnerve people, it didn't unnerve them as it showed just how comfortable Harry was with them. While it wasn't on a conscious level it was still there and in time they hoped that they would be able to bring it to the front of his mind.

The sound of urgent knocking at the door broke Caius out of his thoughts, he had been planning on saying something to Harry. To help ease his pain and settle his thoughts it looked like it wasn't going to happen anytime soon he levelled a glare at the door as he barked out.

"Enter."

Felix came into the room and he looked flustered, which was strange as he had no real reason to be flustered considering he was a vampire and the biggest predator there was so why he did look so flustered?

"Master Caius come quickly."

The two of them left the room forgetting that Harry was in the room with them, for some reason he felt the need to follow them as if he should be with them.

"Go with them master, you won't be disappointed."

Harry smiled as he felt death, despite all of this his friend as still there for him no matter what was happening, he just wished that he could see more of his friend. He stood up from his chair and followed the pull that seemed to come from the throne room, it was strange that he would feel a pull to the throne room when he rarely entered it. However when he got there he stopped at looked at the figure that was stood in the middle of the throne room, a smirk was on his face as Harry gasped out.

"Grandfather."

Violet eyes snapped towards him as the smirk was replaced with a smile.

"Hello Harry."

The whole room was frozen waiting to see what would happen next, all the while death was laughing at what would happen next, in short it would be chaos. Death smiled as he watched his lover and master hug, he knew that he had done the right thing when he had spared Hadrian's life, it hadn't seemed like it at the time but now he was glad that he had done so.

It was strange what they were doing to him, before he didn't have to worry about emotions, he didn't have to worry about caring even when he and Hadrian did become lovers and he had used that word in the loosest of ways, but now? Now he was glad that he had the other man in his life, he was glad that he had someone else other than his master in his life and it made him think about how they had met.

~~~~~Flashback~~~~~

"So time to die is it?"

Death looked at the strange man, or strange to him normally people would run from him, normally they would deny that it was their time to go.

"Indeed, mortal."

Violet eyes slipped close and a lone tear fell from his eyes, this was the reaction that he had been expecting, this what was he was familiar with not what had been happening a few moments before.

"I have one request then I will go with you."

Death cocked his head to the side, a cruel smile on his lips as he looked at the strange mortal.

"I wont make any promises."

A wry smile came to his lips as he looked at death.

"All I am asking is to say goodbye to my grandson."

Death gave him a strange look it wasn't the first time that he had a request like that but normally it was a lover or a son, not a grandson. Taking his silence as a yes the mortal began walking through walls of a cottage until he came to a nursery, death followed him more amused than anything else it had been sometime since anyone or anything had dared to disobey him. Yet here was a mortal doing exactly that, but then again the mortal wasn't really dead just merely in a coma. He had a choice as to whether or not he would pass on or not, yet for some reason he was passing on which was strange as he was in a coma and not dying.

But then again the two of them were nearly the same thing, the only difference was that being on death door and knocking on it were different because one meant that you had a chance to get away and he was patient.

"Hush my little gem, I know you will miss me just as I will miss you. But we will see each other again that you can count on little gem."

Death looked at the man, such a strange creature. Perhaps he will keep this one, after all he could use a pet.

~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~

He could never have predicted just what would happen and in a way he was glad that he had choose to do that, dark eyes looked at his master and love that were still hugging. It was strange seeing the two of them together, he had no way of knowing what would have happened if Hadrian had lived and he had raised Harry, but that was the best part about it. Not being able to know everything and despite the fact that he was a deity he found himself shivering with anticipation, should this timeline run it's course then he would get the soul that had dared to meddle in things that shouldn't be meddled in, magic that should be left alone.

A cold smile made it's way onto his face as he thought about getting his hands on Bella Swans soul.

Yes that was one other soul that had caused him quite a bit of bother other than Tom Riddle and that was saying something. Death looked at the two of them and vanished leaving the vampires shivering despite the fact that they were naturally cold.

Harry pulled back from his grandfather and looked at him, how was he still alive? Just how had he came to be here? So many questions that he wanted to ask yet now wasn't the time to ask them, and judging from the way that several of the vampires were beginning to get slightly twitchy he knew that he would have to begin explaining. But one look into those violet eyes told him that his grandfather had something planned, something that would cause all sorts of chaos and trouble for everyone involved.

"Harry."

Green eyes snapped towards Caius who had spoken, while normally it would be Aro that was the spokesperson for the brothers but it seemed as if Caius had chosen to be spokesperson for the brothers this time and that was slightly strange, violet eyes twinkled as he looked over the three brothers he made sure that he deliberately lingered on certain parts longer than others.

"Well now little gem, I can see just why you seem more happy than normal."

Several guards snickered while Harry blushed a bright red, he hid his face in his hands while the three brothers didn't say anything, Harry had the feeling that hey weren't used to being treated like this. After all the positions demanded respect and it was something that they were used to as well, Harry turned and looked at his grandfather who was pulling his best innocent expression that he could muster, which was saying something.

"How did you get here?"

Suddenly all playfulness has left him his eyes turned into an almost royal purple colour as he all but snarled out.

"Naturally I keep an eye on you and imagine my shock as to what I find? The three people who are sworn to protect you, to love you and cherish you do the exact opposite as they fail to listen to you. Ignore what you have to say and almost break you heart, so as me why I am here little gem. Because I can guarantee that someone will not like the answer."

By this point the magic is so heavy in the room that many of them can almost taste it, it swirls around the room as it reacts to it's masters anger, as it feels the call of battle. It pulses underneath his skin and in his veins as he feels the family magic wanting to protect him, wanting to take him away from all those that would harm him and have done him harm. But despite that he is coming to call this place home, while it may not have been his home for awhile he was slowly coming to love the place despite the bad incidents that have happened here.

"Grandfather, you cannot blame them for the actions of one person."

A cold twisted smile came onto ruby red lips as white teeth were revealed in a shark like smile.

"No? Then how about the fact that they left you for several days after it had happened? How about when they had a business deal to sort out and they forgot to tell you making you worry."

His voice was so cold that many of them wondered just why there wasn't ice falling off his words, it was clear that he had a very poor image of them, their masters mainly but it wasn't just them that had been painted with the brush as well. Something that they didn't like at all, Jane and Alec bristled as they thought about being in the same group as the vampires that had allowed harm to come to Harry, they may not have got on with him in the beginning but he was theirs! He was like a mother who would never judge them, he would always look out of them and that was something that they happy about.

"Don't even get me started on the so called guard, not only do the demean your authority but they also go behind your back and do it anyway. Despite the fact that you have a good reason for them not to do it, there is also the problem that they allowed Chelsea to get so close to you."

Harry opened his mouth to defend them, but he quickly closed it. He knew what was being said was the truth and he couldn't deny it, while he did care for many of them and he would continue to do so he didn't trust them. He wanted to trust them, but so far they had proved that he was right in not trusting them something that he didn't like yet it was one of the problems that were present.

"Who do you think you are? You come into our home and demean what we mean to Harry! Not only that but you think that you know us! That somehow just because you know these things means that you have some right as to what goes on in his life!"

Marcus had stood up as he glared at the silver haired man, said man just stood there and calmly looked at them all. There was a bored expression on his face, as he did so. But the expression on his face didn't match the fury that was burning in his eyes as he looked at them all, it was clear that his eyes were what gave him away, that if you wanted to know what he was really feeling then you should look at his eyes. The fire burning in those eyes told everyone to tread very carefully as the man was far from playing around, something that cause many of them to feel fear and they had no idea why.

"I dare because I know him far better than any of you could ever do, I was there when he was born! That may not mean anything to you but to those that have magic it is a sacred right and bonding experience!"

Losing the fight over his magic he allowed it to lash out, not caring which vampires got hit. However his magic curled around Harry like a cocoon as it purred as it felt the family member that it's master had been mourning over, it knew that their little one wasn't dead, they could still feel his magic calling out to them. Yet they were here now and they weren't going to let him go without a fight.

Many of the vampires were thrown through several walls by the sheer force of the magic, it seemed that his magic was targeting those that had went out of their way to cause Harry harm, something that shouldn't and wouldn't be allowed any longer not while he was still living and breathing so to speak. Even the brothers felt as if there was a pressure on their chests that was slowly crushing them, it was a strange feeling and one that he didn't like.

"Grandfather, please. I know that you are angry but killing them all isn't going to do anything! If anything it will just make things worse."

The magic cocooned around Harry tighter almost as if it was warning Harry, telling him to be careful. However slowly but surely the magic slowly got called back, vampires found that hey were able to move as they began re-attaching body parts. The brothers let out a very unneeded breath but at the time they hadn't really thought about it, they had just held their breaths and prayed to their Gods that they would come out of this alive.

"For you and no one else."

Harry watched as his grandfather swayed for a few seconds before he ran a very pale hand down his face. It was clear that either he wasn't used to using that much magic in one go, something that Harry thought was complete and utter rubbish, he had heard the stories and see the memories of just how powerful his grandfather was. But while they could be classed as equals there was one thing that Harry didn't have and that was experience, were as his grandfather had that by the boatloads. Still when they had time he was going to ask his grandfather if he could teach him, just because they weren't in their home dimension any more didn't mean that he should stop training or using his magic.

"It has been sometime since anything like that has happened."

Harry went to walk forwards but found that he couldn't move due to the guards in front of him and the three sets of arms wrapped around him, his lips pulled back into a snarl as he pulled himself away from them. Why should they have to right to defend him now? Not after they had been so adamant that he was only using the kings, that he didn't really care about them.

"No, the guard suddenly don't get to care. Other than Felix, Jane and Alec there has been not a single guard that has cared about my well being yet suddenly you see a member of my family and he points out so hard truths and you are suddenly defending me!"

Harry stomped towards his grandfather and stood beside his grandfather, warm hands came to rest on his shoulders as violet eyes looked down at him a proud glint in his eyes as Harry took a deep breath as Harry stated.

"I am a wizard."

Just as one of the guards went to make a scathing remark, he found that he couldn't use his voice. Hands went straight to his throat as he looked at the smirking man that was stood holding his hand out towards him, the curve of his lips and twinkle in his eyes told everyone just who had done it and he was finding it vastly amusing. However several of the other guards took several steps back, they had not been able to shake off the whole magic was evil thing from their human lives even though they were vampires.

So what if he had magic? He was still human and humans could be easily hurt, before anyone could say or do anything a guard went running straight to Harry only to find himself pinned to the floor with emerald eyes drilling holes into his very soul, he gave a unneeded gulp. He shouldn't have been able to see him move, he knew that vampires could move fast yet he had just been stopped as if he was nothing.

Suddenly many of the guards were afraid, had Harry been down playing just what he was capable of? If so then why had he done it? It was clear that he could go toe to toe with a vampire, so why had Chelsea been able to sneak up on him? That was when many of them remembered that he had been asleep and it was clear that had he been awake then she wouldn't have stood a chance.

Several of the guards swallowed unneeded habits that they had kept from when they were human, but it fit into this situation perfectly, Harry was no delicate flower and they had just suddenly pissed him off. Many of them wondered if death was smiling because they had the distinct feeling that they would be coming face to face with death before this week was over.

Something that scared them to no end, they knew that Harry was dangerous now they could see that they could feel the power that was rolling off him in waves, but the smiling man next to him made them want to run, to run and never look back to was clear that he would do the things that Harry wouldn't. That he wasn't afraid of killing and torturing them should they do anything to upset Harry and it was clear, so very, very clear to everyone that they had done exactly just that. While the rest of the guard were panicking about what was going to happen Jane and Alec smiled at each other.

Well they did say that they wanted to meet him.
