Of Inhospitable Anticipation

.

.

Okay so Im back and Im sorry it took so long for me to get this posted, but unexpected things have happened in my life. Im sure you all can relate. Anyway I was told by one of my friends that the way I've portrayed some of the characters seemed a bit farfetched. For instance the fact that the twins would never have a dark side, and that Lilly would've never given Snape the 'Heart Stone' because of their so called 'argument. Then again I pointed out this was my story so she could kiss my… umm yeah you get it! ON TO THE STORY!

((warning unBETA'd as I've yet to receive the edited version))

-Q-Q-

Hathor smirked as he walked out of class. He was in a good mood. True he had gotten detention, but he finally got to try a new potion. That was well worth the detention he'd gotten. To top that off his list of potential mates were growing. His mother was sure he'd come into his magical maturity early, and thus his creature inheritance as well. That, though, wasn't what had him so excited. It was the fact that by Wizarding law he would be considered an adult. He would be able to legally find his mates, no matter if they were older than him. Hathor was sure that Voldemort was one of his mates, his Lead in fact, but he couldn't understand why the man felt the need to kill him.

Draco watched Hathor as he walked down the hall as Hermione was chatting excited next to him about a job well done on an advanced potion. However, Hathor seemed off in a world of his own. That's when it happened. The small boys body had gone limp and nearly fell on the floor of the hall. The only thing that had saved Hathor was the fact that Blaise was walking a few feet behind him and managed to catch Hathor.

Hathor sighed loudly. "Was this necessary?"

"Necessary? No, but you are the one who summoned me. So tell me, Little Snake, why did you do so?" A disembodied voice called from around the dreamscape.

"I'm not sure." Hathor said softly.

Voldemort smiled as he walked from the shadows. "Well now. Tell me what was on your mind that was troubling you'd have to summon me?"

"Why you would wish to kill me, My Lord." Came his blunt reply.

"Ah. A simple answer that one. A prophesy was given to me many years ago. 'One cannot live while the other survives.' As I've told you before." As he spoke he walked closer to Hathor and placed a hand on the boys cheek. "I've a very strong survival instinct, Little Snake. It's a shame that I must kill you. You'd grow into a beautiful man."

Hathor leaned into Voldemorts touch closing his eyes at the contact. This man was defiantly his Lead. "Then I see no problem with dieing, My Lord."

Voldemorts brow furrowed slightly in thought. "You've said such before. I find myself incapable of figuring why one so young would welcome death."

Hathor smiled flashing his small fangs. "When I reach magical maturity my creature blood will awaken. My heart will cease to beat. To put it simply I will die then ." He paused looking into blue eyes. "But I shall be reborn as the same creature as my mother. A vampire. At least that is what Grandmamma believes and she's never wrong."

Voldemort nodded. It made sense except fore one thing. "Lily was no vampire, and I've never heard of the gene lying dormant in the Evans bloodline."

"I've been blood adopted since then My Lead." He said nuzzling Voldemorts palm.

Voldemort smirked. "A self fulfilling prophesy then. Little Snake, when this war begins you will have to choose the a side. Whose side will you be one?"

Hathor turned to kiss his Leads palm softly. His small lips flinching slightly at it's cold temperature. A sign that his Leads body was long gone. "The side of mates of course.." He said looking into Voldemorts eyes once more delivering the true meaning of his words.

Voldemort smirked as he pulled his hand from Hathors face. "That answer is evasive. It seems as though you've yet not decided."

Hathor shook his head. "Not so. I will be on the side of my Lead."

Understanding glowed in the deep blue depths of Voldemorts eyes. "I see." He said quietly with a look of contemplation upon his face. "If I am indeed your Lead I will have to have a change of plans for when I return."

Hathor tilted his head a small smile gracing his lips. "You plan to return my Lead?" He asked a small bit excitement in his voice. As his Lead opened his mouth answer his dream began to blur. He cursed softly as his world went black.

-Q-Q-

-T-T-

Draco watched Hathor as he sat with Hermione, and Blaise in the hospital wing. Ever since Hathor had passed out in the halls all three of them had been there. It's only been a few hours but Snape had written them a pass to allow them to miss classes until their friend awoke. Hermione was currently looking through books about different creatures to figure out why Hathor could have passed out. Blaise though was sitting and looking out the window. Draco honestly had no idea why the boy was there.

He himself was here because his father had told him to befriend the girl… Who everyone currently discovered was in fact a boy. Though he had to wonder why his father had asked such of him. Did he know something he didn't? Very possible if he thought about it. Or was it merely because the Addams had a very, very, dark reputation? They'd never been involved in a Wizarding war until Grindlewald(did I spell that right?)). Even then they never actually fought. They provided new curses, rituals and potions that Grindlewald taught to his armies. The Addams were accused of aiding a Dark Lord but the Ministry had no evidence to support it except rumors.

Draco sighed. His father always managed to confuse him. This Hathor character, though interesting, had no special power that he'd seen. Well except his creature blood. As he now sat thinking about what made Hathor so special to warrant his fathers attention he watched as Hathors body jerked in his sleep slightly.

-.-

Hathor groaned softly as he sat up. He could tell by the positioning of the sun in the room it was well past lunch if he'd to guess the last classes of the day would be beginning soon. He'd missed his meeting with the twins. Looking around his bed he found Hermione, Blaise, and Draco asleep in their chairs. However, it wasn't the fact that three pre teen were sleeping around him that caught his attention. It was the two dark figures that lurked in the shadows.

"Blimy mate-"

"-you've been out for hours-"

"-though you didn't like us any more."

"Yeah then we find out that you're in the hospital wing-"

"-for a fainting spell non-the-less."

"Really Addams thought you were made of sterner stuff than that."

The soft voices of the twins sounded from the shadows.

Hathor smirked. "Yes well when I have visions I'm usually resting in peace." He smirked looking at the twins. "So then what are you both doing here? Do you not have class?"

The twins smiled as the walked next the sleeping figures of Hathors year mates.

"Well yes-"

"But classes can be so boring."

"-so we decided-"

"-since you missed out meeting-"

"-to get revenge."

They paused looking at one another.

"At least on your housemates."

Hathor smirked as he shook his head. "I'll be sure to make sure I never find myself no your bad side then." He paused as he yawned slightly. "I'm sure by the other occupied beds across the room that you managed to maim a few of my fellows?"

The two redheaded twins sighed. "Not really-"

"-you see we were interrupted by the most foul beast-"

"-in the whole school-"

"Snape." They both glared when they said the potions masters name. Like it left a horrible taste in their mouths.

Hathor smirked slightly. "Let me guess; he gave you both detention?"

The twins shook their heads. "No."

"He smirked and told us-"

"-to be on our merry way-"

"-and took a few point from our house."

Both twins stopped speaking and Hathor watched as their brows furrowed in thought.

"Don't know why though."

Hathor shook his head. "Oh I'm sure I know why." The twins looked as him in interest as they took a seat on the side of the hospital bed after worming their way around Hathors year mates. They looked at him with the same expression waiting for him to elaborate. He sighed. "I've learned that despite what others may say he does have a sense of humor, a dark one at that, that he hides. I can only assume he docked a few points because your pranks amused him." Hathor smiled then and nodded. "I'm sure that's why."

He looked to the twins who both nodded as they seemingly accepted his answer. Stifling a yawn he turned to his year mates and smiled. They were out cold. All asleep. He turned to the twins then as he threw his legs over the side of the bed and pushed himself gracefully to his feet.

"Addams how-"

"-in the name of Merlin-"

"-do you manage to do that whole-"

"- graceful floaty thingy?"

Hathor looked at the twins slightly confused before it dawned on him. He smiled. "If you must know it's a family trait. At least on Mamas side. Now then, as my future partners in crime I order you both to help me get these three back to the dorms."

The twins smiled. "Don't think you've got-"

"- how being partners actually works yet Addams-"

"-but they've been here a long time-"

"- so we'll cut you a break-"

"- and help you anyways."

All three of them pulled out their wands and pointed them at the assorted members of the Slytherin and Gryffindor houses, levitating them. Hathor nodded and began to lead the two elder twins towards the dungeons, their charges in tow.

The walk was silent to say the least, as thought the three had already said all they had intended. But Hathor knew that wasn't case. The twins were just giving him a small break. After all, he did wind up in the hospital wing on his first day. He was sure he'd have to terrorize a few of their schoolmates to make up for his fainting in the middle of a hall.

When they reached the portrait that guarded the Slytherin common room Hathor gave the pass word and entered, the twins following him. He bypassed any of the student who were ditching and sitting in the common room and made for the boys dorms. He could clearly feel the sheer hatred that his housemates felt as the twins followed him, but he didn't care. His housemates saw him as unreadable when his mask was in place, unpredictable. Something they all didn't like to some degree.

Finally he opened the dormitory door and placed Hermione on his bed, and pointing where the twins should place Draco and Blaise. "So then my Devious Twins. What have you up your sleeves for our next 'prank'?"

The twins sat down next to Hermione's form and began to quietly tell Hathor about their latest plan.

Needless to say Hathor was Pleased. It involved a rather advanced potion, their brother, almost deadly pranks, sabotage, and last but not least making sure someone else got caught.

I know it's a bit short but this was actually more of a filler than anything else. I'm going to try to update again soon
