Once upon a time, this chapter was much, much longer, but I decided to cut off the last 3 thousand words or so and make it the beginning of Chapter 8 "Children, Behave"

Ch. 7
Oh For Morgana's-
Harry went to attack whoever pulled him into an abandoned classroom when he saw his godfather grinning wildly.
"Hey, Siri," Harry said dryly. "Couldn't you have said, 'Hey, Harry! Come over here!' instead of making me almost castrate you?"
"Uh… Now that you put it that way… What did my sex life ever do to you?" Sirius whined.
"…I didn't even know you still had one, Padfoot," Harry said with a slight grimace. "Nor did I want to know you still were fucking people like Voldie…"
Sirius cuffed his godson and said, "This isn't why I pulled you in here, pup."
"I hope not."
"…will you be quiet and let me explain myself?"
"You have twenty seconds before I start talking again."
"We need to pull pranks on Halloween!!"
"True… what hasn't been done yet…?"
"Making a swamp?"
"Gred and Forge has done that here with a prank item. That's what Danny did that got him expelled from his old school."
Sirius doubled over laughing. "H-he got expelled for making a swamp?!"
"By hand without magic."
"Where is he anyways?"
"Um…"
'Hey, Dan?'
'Hm?' the vampire answered.
'Are you busy?'
'I'm kinda snogging your sister.'
'…ew…'
"He's snogging my little sister," Harry grounded out. He wondered if Sirius ever realized he was under a secrecy charm… There was no other way he would admit to having a link to Danny's warped mind.
"Let's see… he has a gorgeous veela willing to do just about anything for him. What do you expect?" Sirius asked wryly.
Sirius ran out of the classroom when Harry started sending hexes at the wizard in killer-overprotective-big-brother-mode.
"I'm not helping you now!" Harry screamed with his eyes flashing yellow.
"Um… hi Harry…" Hermione awkwardly said to Harry when she found him working on something in the library.
"Hey, Mi…" was muttered back. Harry went back to scribbling on the piece of parchment.
"Harold James Potter! Is that from the restricted section?!"
"I'm a teacher, duh."
"You shouldn't-!"
"Headgirl or not, Hermione, I am a professor and outrank you. Do not try bossing me around."
"I-!"
Harry scowled and left the library to work in his office in peace.
…or not…
"Hi, bro-bro!" Serenity chirped.
"What are you doing here still?" Harry asked wryly. She had left six hours ago and now she was back…
"I bought a Star Wars poster! I need help putting it up. …Danny wouldn't let me hang it up in our common room at home."
"Oh, cool. Danny's still a Star Wars-hating idiot."
"I know. I told him that last night. He made me put a pink shirt on… Meanie."
"There, there, sissy. Where do you want it?"
"Um… wanna put it in the classroom?"
"That'll work."
"There are brownies in the closet where we hid all that junk food and prank stuff we shouldn't have here."
"Yes! Thanks! I got those notes Dan wanted."
"Okay, I'll give him them."
"Thanks."
"No prob. I heard you already basically got yourself a new girlfriend."
"No, I've just asked Luna to a date. She's Hermione's opposite, so maybe you won't hate her guts. Imagine Danny with a bigger imagination and an actual brain."
"…um okay…"
"Maybe that wasn't the best description… Are you coming to the Halloween feast?"
"No."
"Why not?!"
"Because I don't wanna. Dan and I are taking the kiddies trick-or-treating."
"Oh. What are you going as?"
"A kitty girl."
"What is Danny going as?"
"Vampire."
"…he has no imagination."
"At least he dresses up."
"…you're going to school in your costume, aren't you?"
"Yep! The girls decided to copy me." Serenity laughed melodically as she stashed a tray of cookies into their über secret closet of secretness. "I'll probably bake cookies or bring candy for the classes that day… Yes, and yours too."
"…you should bring cookies to the teacher meeting right before the feast."
"Um, I don't know if I can make that…"
"But I want cookies…!"
"Come home Sunday, and we can make some then, whiney."
"But that's seven days away!"
"No, really?"
"Yes, really!"
"Cub?" Remus questionably called into the room and poked a head in.
"Yeah?" Harry answered. "I still want cookies, sissy…!"
"Are you aware that Sirius wants to prank all the teachers including us because we wouldn't help him?"
"…no… Hey, sis, go scream at him for me, will you?"
"Sure," Serenity chirped. It was fun yelling at people! "I think I have time to make some spritz cookies…"
"YES! Uh, I mean, thank you for taking the time for me…"
Serenity rolled her eyes before skipping off.
"Miss Potter, why are you here at this hour?" Dumbledore stopped her in the hall with a quizzical look.
"I got a poster I wanted to hang up at home, but Danny wouldn't let me; I hung it up here instead! I need to go yell at Black for plotting on pranking all of the professors now on Halloween… He's scared of me!"
"Will you be here for the-?"
"I can't make it to the feast. There's a Muggle tradition on Halloween."
"And that is?"
"Trick-or-treating. We go door-to-door and basically get free candy as long as we're dressed up in a costume."
Dumbledore decided he needed to try that sometime… Sounded like his kind of holiday tradition…
Serenity sprinted off and tackled Sirius to the ground. "Hey, Black."
"Ow… Serenity… Do not tackle me when I know you're way off limits." Sirius complained and picked himself off the floor. "How did you get here?"
"Harry. He still is Lord Black. Of course I can get into this musty place."
"Hey, I'm working on it! Now why do I have the pleasure of having your gorgeous presence here?"
"A little birdie told me you were going to prank all of the professors on Halloween…"
"Um, I'll leave you alone!"
"What are you going to do to them? I never eat at Hogwarts anyways. I have to do all the cooking at home or else Danny will burn the place down."
"Dump magical paint on them…"
"Harry and dearie did that last year. How about-?"
"Merlin, you're a genius!"
"Don't say that name in front of me! Gr!"
"…gr?"
"Yes! GR! …hello? Oh, hey, Danny!" Serenity's communicator started to ring.
"…where are you?" Danny asked sternly.
"Grimwood place."
"It's not Grimwood!" Sirius was heard whining in the background.
"Why?" the vampire demanded.
"Plotting against my co-workers. You know what you and Harry were going to do at the conference?" Serenity chirped.
"…yeah…"
"I told Sirius how to do it."
"Oh for Morgana's-. Come home please."
"Okay…"
Danny held Serenity to his chest once she got home. "Do not leave without telling me first, missy," he chided lightly and carried her upstairs.
"Sowwy…" Serenity muttered with a slight blush.
"You're cute."
Serenity smirked to herself as she got ready on Halloween. "Master…" she purred seductively.
"You are going to get yelled at when you get there, Angel," Danny drawled and pulled her to him. "Though you do look hellishly sexy."
"I need help lacing up the boots…" Serenity innocently said as she pulled on a knee high boot with a four inch heel.
"I see your panties," the vampire sang quietly when the blonde scooted on his lap for help.
Serenity giggled as she felt Danny carefully take out the curlers in her hair and make the curls look nicer for her.
"Thanks, Master Dannikins," she said flirtingly and kissed him on the lips deeply.
"Anytime, my little kitty."
Serenity flushed cutely with a gentle purr as Danny stroked her face lovingly. "Master…" she purred and snuggled up to him. Danny rolled his eyes and just went back to painting whiskers on her face.
"Bye, cutie," Danny cooed before Serenity left for Hogwarts.
The veela kissed her mate goodbye and left.
Serenity smirked to herself as she entered the Headmaster's office; she loved how she was the reason all the teachers had to dress up…
"What are you wearing?!" Hermione exploded when she ran into her youngest professor.
"My Halloween costume. Hey, just because some of us don't have the bodies to rock skimpy clothes don't mean I can't show off mine. Danny liked it."
"You look like a hooker."
"Thirty points from Gryffindor. One more comment, and it's a detention with Harry. You know, your ex and my very overprotective brother…"
''…I thought we were friends…" the brunette said meekly.
"I put up with you for Harry's sake," was the drawled answer. "You need to realize something; I am one of those bitches who will use you to my heart's consent and 'befriend' you for the sake of someone else. That doesn't mean I will keep up those 'friendships' when I don't need them. Harry doesn't need you. He put up with you at the beginning because he saw you sorta like me. Who'll he side with? His best friend of six years or almost twelve years?"
"I knew it! I was right about you! I'll just tell Harry and-."
"Like he didn't know that I barely tolerated you still. I'm just an amazing actress like that. And remember I also have a very overprotective mate who can kill you easily."
"I-! You two-face-!"
"Welcome to the real world, hun. We're at war, and I'm one of your enemies."
Serenity then left with the fake tail wagging in the wind.
The mage leaned against the Great Hall wall expectantly. Anytime now…
The blonde smirked when all her co-workers started tap dancing on the Head Table, Harry included, Hagrid excluded. Life was good… No more faking a smile in front of Granger, Master was loving, protective, and doting, and older brother was being humiliated. Yep, she was good…
Serenity stared at Danny hopefully when she felt a collar being fastened around her neck.
"Dearie…?" she asked hopefully. Yes, the locket was pretty and all, but she really did just want a collar. Serenity didn't understand why her Master was so against people knowing he was her Master…
"Your costume was missing something. My kitty needs a collar."
"Oh, okay then." Serenity went to walk to the kitchen except that she was immediately stopped. "Master…!" she whined when the veela saw a leash in Danny's hand.
"Nope, come on, kitten."
Serenity pouted but grasped the expectant hand and walked hand-in-hand with her dominant mate.
"We're going to a party that some of our old classmates are throwing that we were invited to," Danny stated.
"What about the kiddies?"
"It's nine to twelve."
"Let me guess, no parents home?"
"Yep."
Harry pulled at the stupid cape he had worn for Halloween. Why did he steal Danny's idea and be Dracula again…?
Harry shot Luna a look when the witch pulled at it.
"Luna, what are you doing?"
"Pulling on your cape. It looked like fun."
"Dawn…" Voldemort said tiredly, "you are too old to go trick-or-treating. You're pregnant and shouldn't be eating candy anyways."
"But I wanna go…!" Dawn whined back. "Hmph, I'll see if Danny's taking Mindy then."
"Mum… what are you doing here?" Danny asked carefully when they were about to leave to go trick-or-treating.
"I wanna go…!" Dawn whined.
"…why…?"
"I never got to go as a little girl, and Leon was always too scared…!"
Serenity wrapped the shrug on to add decency as Mindy and Angela helped each other paint whiskers on their faces.
Danny hooked the leash back on the collar he had put on his Angel and purred in her mind, 'My little kitten isn't going to be running away anytime soon.'
'Yes, Master.'
Serenity giggled when Danny tickled her chin and kissed her head lovingly. She loved him…
"…what is she wearing, Danny?" Dawn asked in shock.
"Clothes I think," Danny retorted. "Right, love?"
"Mm hm," Serenity replied and just snuggled up to Danny.
"Dear, you're going to freeze in that," Dawn pointed out to the veela.
"Na uh. I got Master to keep me warm."
"Your feet are going to hurt."
"They already do. Danny will probably be carrying me around halfway through. …or now works. Hi, Master!"
"Mm, I can actually see my kitty's pretty face," Danny cooed.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Remus asked his cub.
"Instead of telling Siri to not prank us, Sissy gave him ideas. You know that prank from this morning? Dan and I were going to do that at the conference except Lestrange had to show up," Harry said a little nervously.
"…I thought she didn't like pranks…"
"She likes seeing me humiliated like a normal little sister."
Danny discretely warped right outside his former friend's house with his shivering mate in his arms. "I think this is the right house…" he whispered.
"Um, yeah, considering I just saw Joe go in," Serenity replied.
"Your whiskers are kind of smeared, my dear."
"…I don't care though…"
"Can I put you down yet?"
"No."
Danny rolled his eyes and rang the doorbell with his free hand. "Ren, you're making your whiskers smear more." 'Don't start purring, missy.' Serenity made a face but stopped rubbing her face against him.
'Master…!' she whined mentally.
'Shush.'
"Damn…" Jeff couldn't help but say when he saw his ex-girlfriend. "Val, Serenity beat you in the skimpiest costume award!"
The idiots they called their former coeds didn't get the message that Danny and Serenity were a couple until Danny punched one of Serenity's exes.
"Thanks, love!" Serenity chirped and jumped onto his shoulders.
"Strip poker?" Danny asked in disbelief.
"What are you, chicken, Disaster?" Joe taunted with a smirk.
"I'm changing my name to Dante thank you very much. I was just surprised. I'll play, but I'm not taking off my boxers. Ren! Get your barely clothed butt over here, cutie!"
"Yeps?" Serenity asked and jumped on Danny's back, flashing everyone her panties for the billionth time.
"Do you wanna play strip poker?"
"Sure! Is dearie going to get naked?"
"Only in your dreams; seriously, you talk in your sleep!"
Serenity smiled sweetly and just kissed Danny's neck teasingly. "It's your fault…! Seriously, why do you want to wait until I'm seventeen…!"
"You'd be amazed at what you say when you're asleep, darling. Besides, wouldn't that be a nice birthday present?"
"Or an even better Christmas present."
"…my uncle might have said a few things to me…"
"Suck-up."
"He's the person who randomly bought me a Ferrari! What do you expect?!"
"But I wanna baby…!"
"Who wants to get pregnant at sixteen?" Valeria asked in shock.
"Me! Danny's big down there, too! I decided to ignore his sarcasm so I could look…"
"That was mean of you," Danny stated and sat down on the floor where about half of the party was going to play with the other half secretly watching.
Serenity sat next to him and whispered, "If I took everything off, what would you do?"
"Hug you to my chest possessively."
Hm… Serenity liked the thought of that… 'Master…'
'Don't even think about it. You are keeping your bra and panties on.'
'Master…'
Danny gave her a look.
"Come on, Dracula, take something off…" Joe taunted evilly.
Danny threw the cape/vest thing off. Serenity unbuttoned his shirt with a bright smile. "I am seriously starting to worry about your sexuality, Joe," Danny stated with a smirk. "You seem to want to see me naked or something…"
Serenity glared viciously when she noticed a slight blush across the Muggle's cheeks. "N-no! What makes you say that?!"
"Ha, take that, Riddle!" Jeff victoriously stated.
Danny grumbled and reluctantly unzipped his black jeans. "I hate you…" was mumbled. "Ren, get your hands away from my balls!"
Serenity, who was almost out of the game, just smiled back at him brightly. "I think we should find a broom closet to snog in after we're both out, snexy."
"Who needs a closet? Has that stopped us before?"
"No."
Jeff closed his eyes with a mental groan when he saw the only girlfriend he ever had an emotional attachment clinging to the only guy he ever truly feared.
Valeria and Jane exchanged wicked smiles. "Did we mention that the winner doesn't HAVE to give back any clothes until the end of the party?" Valeria purred, being the one who was throwing the party. "Hear that, sexy?" She pinned the vampire in his underwear to the ground and tried to kiss him. Danny kicked her off.
"We are not dating anymore, Valeria," Danny snapped and pulled Serenity on top of him. Valeria tried to say something to prove him otherwise, but he and Serenity were too busy exploring each other's mouth.
"That is one hell of a tattoo…" Jeff muttered, trying not to look at his ex's delicious butt. Why did she have to become even more of a hottie? "You know… we never officially broken up…"
Serenity glared at him and stated, "Leave me alone, or I'll get a restraining order."
Danny picked Jeff up by his collar and snapped, "Get away from my betrothed."
Jeff snapped back, "I didn't know you two were betrothed! You could have said something!"
"I just did, didn't I?"
Danny scowled and pinned Serenity back down to the ground and continued to snog the veela he loved dearly. The part of him that was a mage loved the attention they were getting…
"Stalker!" Danny shouted immaturely when, of course, Mr. Frez walked in to check up on his niece by chance.
"…it's not my fault your mother dragged you shopping for clothes for your baby sister," David Frez said with a scowl aimed at his less than responsible niece. "Valeria, didn't we tell you not to throw a party? …and why is everyone half-naked?!"
"Strip poker!" Serenity chirped. "Dearie…!"
Frez closed his eyes and ignored his former students heavily making out. He had no authority over them unfortunately… "Can't you two wait until you get home?" he couldn't help but ask.
"No," was the cheerful response from both of them.
"You guys fleeing?" Jeff asked quietly as Valeria was being screamed at by her uncle.
"Yep."
"Me too… Where you parked?"
"…some random grocery store… we kind of got lost…" Danny said nervously as he pulled his pants on finally. He was worried that they could have gotten drunk and opted out of driving.
"Do you need a lift over there?"
"No," was said a little too fast.
"Sheesh, just asking…"
Jeff suspiciously followed them in his car discretely. The Muggle jumped out of his convertible and crept into the deserted alley they had gone in.
There were just too many things off about those two now… That and what his father had said about the Dante Riddle from the "elite society". There was something about Riddle being a… "Unstable, homicidal maniac and the most charismatic bugger you'll have the misfortune to meet".
Danny and Serenity fit the descriptions of them, which was what really worried Jeff. He knew his father would do anything to find out about the other leaders of the sides in the elite society. Of course his ex-girlfriend was possibly an insane genius then. …wait, he already knew that.
"Angel, move your hair," Danny said in a different tone than what Jeff was used to hearing him use. Jeff lost all the color in his face when he saw a flash of pearl-white fangs plunge into a tanned neck where the mother of all hickeys was.
"Master…" Jeff's ex purred and tried to get closer.
Jeff pressed against a wall when he saw eyes glowing silver starting to glance up in the direction he was in. "Thanks, my Angel…" was muttered lovingly.
Danny just happened to look up to see the outline of a very familiar person. Jeff gulped when mostly silver eyes flashed red in his direction. Jeff went to run away but screamed when an angry Danny Riddle appeared right in front of him with blood dripping down his chin.
Jeff fainted.
"Where am I?" Jeff groaned and sat up. He was in an unfamiliar room on an unfamiliar bed. …with a poster with people flying on broomsticks that moved.
"Are you okay?" Serenity asked in concern. "I couldn't tell if you hit your head or not…" The blonde had a long t-shirt on that draped her small frame with her hair up in a messy ponytail.
Jeff backed away in fear when he saw what had to be a vampire. "G-get away!" he shouted and held up a cross.
"Wow, scary," Danny commented sarcastically.
"Danny…" Serenity said pointedly. "I know you have a scaring fetish, but please…"
"Remember, you're the one who tricked into being dominant," Danny sang mockingly and scooped his submissive mate in his arms where he personally thought she belonged. "Miney miney mine."
Jeff thanked the heavens that his mother was paranoid and superstitious when he found a clove of garlic in his pocket. "Get back, monster!" he yelled heroically and chucked the garlic at the vampire prince.
"Ah-choo!" Danny sneezed violently a few times. "I can have you arrested for that! It's illegal to endanger the royal family!"
"Dearie, go start the coffee. You need it," Serenity stated and quickly tossed the garlic out the window.
Danny grumbled profanities under his breath and stormed out of Harry's room.
"Jeff, don't go throwing garlic at people higher on the food chain than you when they're cranky," Serenity said dryly.
"B-but-! The poster! Fangs!"
"Um yeah, magic is kind of real, and we just added more criminal offenses to our records! Yay!"
"Lookie what I did, Mommy!" Mindy chirped as she teleported in Harry's room.
"Mindy, what did we tell you about doing that without Daddy or I there to help you?" Serenity asked in exasperation.
Of course her baby's elfin abilities were starting to manifest already…
"Daddy said I could."
"Oh. Go bug Daddy, okay, Mins?"
"Okay, Mommy!"
"Wh-what?" Jeff stuttered out.
"Oh, that was Mindy, our half-elf, adopted daughter, or soon-to-be adopted daughter…" Serenity said calmly.
"B-but-! D-Danny's a-a-."
"I'm well aware the guy I'm mated to is a vampire. I love being of an unknown species in the non-magical world… Because who would believe of a species of gorgeous blue-eyed blondes existing?"
"Y-you're not h-human…"
"I like veela though," Danny purred with a mostly empty coffee cup in hand and scooped his precious veela in his free arm. "Though I don't appreciate the burn scars from the fireballs they tend to throw when pissy."
"You deserved it, Master," Serenity snapped with a pout. He was never going to let her live it down! Just because she chucked fire at him over a year ago…
"All I did was say hi."
"You scared me!"
"What about the scars on my neck from when you held a fireball to it?"
"…you were being mean, and I was kind of trying to enslave you…"
"And you wonder why I demanded a loyalty oath, Angel?"
"…not really…"
"Hello?" a voice interrupted. Harry walked into his room and asked, "What the hell did you two do this time?"
"Nothing…" Serenity said cutely and tried to hide Jeff. "I don't know what you're talking about favoritest brother of mine!"
"Nice try, sis. I told Dumbledore you ate too much candy and got sick by the way."
Danny quietly whispered the situation in Harry's ear in Portuguese. "Yeah… it wasn't our fault for once!" he ended hyperly.
"Loverly," Harry said with a sigh. "Oh, Sis, you wouldn't happen to be involved with those pranks yesterday, would you?"
"…maybe…" the veela said sweetly and pounced on her older brother. "I love you, my favoritest brother!"
"…I'm your only brother…"
"That's just a minor complication, Harry dearest."
"Um, hello? Confused teenager here?" Jeff interrupted, not used to the Nundu leaders' babbling.
"Miss Weasley, you wouldn't happen to know where Mr. Potter is?" Dumbledore asked sternly to the youngest Nundu at Hogwarts.
"No… I can check his house if you want. He might be checking on Ren… I swear; will she ever learn her lesson?"
"HELLO?!" Jeff shouted for the fifth time as a pretty redhead walked in.
"Do I even want to know?" the redhead asked dryly.
"Hey, Red."
"Hi, Gin-Gin."
"Hiya, Red!"
"Hi…" the redhead said. "Stop bickering and tell me what the hell you did this time!"
"You're not the leaders; we are," the person Jeff assumed was Lord Potter-Black and Serenity's guardian snapped.
"Yes, but you are bickering like toddlers like usual."
"Are not."
"Leave Red alone, Har," Danny snapped.
"Shut it, vampy."
"Sparky."
"Devil spawn."
"Four-eyes."
"Dimwit."
"Munchkin."
"Giant."
"Anorexic."
"Fat ass."
"Am not!"
Jeff gaped when Danny turned into a large wolf and lunged at Lord Potter-Black. Lord Potter-Black turned into a white lion.
"Right, when was the last time those two saw each other?" the redhead asked Serenity dryly.
"Er… Sunday I think…"
"Good lord, those two are still not used to being apart… They usually aren't that bad."
"I know. I've known them longer than you. I had to deal with those two when Harry would first come home from Hogwarts. Morgana, was that scary…"
"I missed you…!" the two male magical people wailed when they became human again.
"Gay much," Jeff couldn't help but state when they started to hug each other.
Serenity smirked evilly and gave Jeff a picture as the other boys pulled apart with blushed faces.
"SERENITY!" they yelled in unison when they realized what the picture was.
"You know you guys love me!" the veela chirped and ran out.
"Angel, stay," Danny scolded immediately.
"Stupid locket…" Serenity mumbled as her Master picked her up. "Um, hiya, Master! I love you!"
"You better. You're wearing pink today now."
"Maaaaassssssstttttteeeeeer!!"
"Quit calling me that!"
"Nevah!"
Harry rolled his eyes in amusement and said, "Okay, I got that out of my system!"
"You two finally managed to drive each other insaner," Ginny stated. "Now why is there a guy in your bed?"
"Stop saying things that make me sound gay!"
"Well, you know, no one really knows why you and Hermione just randomly broke up… You didn't seem affected by it…"
"Yeah, because you didn't spread the fact Luna and I were snogging in the library all over school."
"I still say you're bi."
"Am not! Hermione was too much like an older sister to me! She was mad about the three wedding proposals I had gotten that morning."
Jeff couldn't help but whistle.
"Didn't you get a dozen this morning?"
"That's not fair!" Jeff couldn't help but whine.
"I'm making my godfather proud," Harry stated with a smirk. "He was as bad as I'm being when he was my age. …still scarred from when he told he still had a sex life when I threatened to castrate him for scaring the shit out of me."
"…how old is your godfather, sir?"
"Don't 'sir' me. I'm seventeen, goddamnit. Um, I don't know how old Siri is… He won't tell me. I need to ask Remy…"
"…Siri and Remy?"
"Short for Sirius and Remus. Oh, who are you by the way? I'm Harry Potter."
"Jeff."
"…Jeff what? You do have a last name, right?"
"Jeff Schrio." Jeff hoped the powerful Lord wouldn't recognize the last name.
"Oh okay."
"Wheeeeeee!" Serenity squealed happily as Danny tossed her in the air and caught her. "Wheeeeeeeeeee!"
"You're such a goof," Danny stated and kissed her on the head.
"Again! Again!"
"That's what she said."
"I wish."
Danny and Serenity had just gotten back into Harry's room when they heard yelled, "Dante? It's Uncle Jerry and Aunt Izzy!"
"Coming!" Danny yelled and jogged downstairs with a grumble after putting down his Angel.
Harry groaned. "I hate finding out my best friend was a long-lost prince…"
Danny just stared at his uncle in disbelief when the elder vampire asked, "Will you be willing to be fully turned the day you're family becomes one of us?"
"Um, Uncle Jerry… I'm half-elf. That isn't possible. How did you not know that mages were part elves?"
"…I know."
"Oh yeah, I just told you."
"Oh shush you," Isabelle said and rolled her vivid blue eyes.
"Right, why are you guys here?"
"You and Serenity, well mostly you, need more clothes. We're going to take you two shopping."
"Um, couldn't you have called us first? We're kind of busy…"
"With what?"
Danny groaned when he heard Jeff scream, "GET AWAY FROM ME, WITCH!"
"Former class mate followed us into the alley I was going to warp home from after a party last night… He found out I was a vampire and fainted. Serenity made me take him with us," Danny mumbled. "And lovely just had to tell him magic was real."
"…why did I even ask?" Isabelle muttered.
"Uncle Jerry, where are you going?!" Danny hurriedly shouted and tried to keep his great-uncle from entering Harry's room.
Danny picked himself off the ground when the elder vampire just threw him out of the way.
"Serenity, dear, what did you get yourself into this time?" was heard dryly in a heavy Italian accent.
"Nuttin'!" Serenity chirped back sweetly.
"Really, because you're wearing pink which only happens when you get on Dante's nerves, are too rowdy, or are being extremely disobedient."
"But I'm Master's Angel. He told me so, so neh!" Serenity stuck her tongue out.
"Uncle Jerry, leave my Angel alone," Danny snapped when he entered the bedroom. "Angel, come here, love."
"Hi, dearie!" Serenity chirped and jumped in his arms happily.
"I didn't do it! It was all Harry!" Blaise immediately stated when he entered the Headmaster's office.
"…is there something going on I should know about?" Dumbledore asked a little worriedly.
"No," was answered a little too quickly for the Light wizard's liking.
"Yes, well, I was wondering if you know where Mr. Potter and Miss Weasley have gotten to. Miss Weasley never showed up after going to check Mr. Potter's home in search of him."
"…for all I know Serenity might have thrown up on them."
"Can you please get Mr. Potter and Miss Weasley back over here?"
"I'll try… Can't guarantee anything knowing Harry… and Danny… and Serenity…"
"Harry! Gin! Anyone?!" Blaise yelled when he stepped out of the fireplace.
"We're upstairs!" he heard Serenity shout.
"Why is there a random guy in your bed, Har?" Blaise asked carefully.
"Shut it," Harry grounded out with a small twitch.
"You know what I meant. I'm not the devil women."
"Hey!" Serenity and Ginny snapped in unison.
"Blaise…" Danny growled and wrapped his arms around Serenity protectively.
"…devil woman then…" Blaise said with as much dignity as he could muster. Yes, he was scared of his vampire leader.
Ginny slapped him across the face.
"Are you two dating?" the random boy asked dryly.
"No," came quickly from Blaise.
"Y-No," Ginny added.
"…will you go out with me, Ginny?"
"Oh, I'd love to, Blaise!"
"Oh come on…! I wanted to shove you two in a closet during class…!" Serenity whined.
"…you're still pissed at Harry for shoving you and Dan in a closet for no reason, aren't you?"
"What do you think?"
"What if we locked in a closet and refused to let you out until we heard you two shagging?"
"Red, drop and give me fifty," Danny snapped.
Ginny groaned but obliged.
The pale man in the corner Blaise didn't notice said, "Is that how you keep the Nundus in line, nephew?"
"It works," Danny cheekily shot back. "Most wizards and witches are lazy and the threat of exercise makes them think twice before saying something stupid."
"Mate, you are stupid though," Harry said with a smirk.
"Shut up, you stupid teacher."
"Make me."
"Dante, Lord Potter-Black," Jeremiah scolded.
"Guys…" Serenity groaned and separated her boys.
"Mine," Danny stated immaturely and held her to his chest possessively.
"Sweet Morgana, my master is a toddler."
"Hey! Take that back!"
"Take what back?"
"I-. Angel, hand away from my crotch NOW."
"But, Master…" Serenity purred seductively and trailed her hand down his chest.
Serenity brooded when she was thrown over his shoulder. Danny firmly whacked her butt once and scolded, "No."
"Hmph. Ooh…"
Danny rolled his eyes when he felt small hands grabbing his butt. "Why are you so obsessed with my butt?"
"It's pretty."
'Lets see, I'm stuck in a limo with my ex-girlfriend and three vampires,' Jeff mused to himself.
"Right, you're speaking in English," Serenity stated and scooted closer to Jeff, away from the vampires talking in rapid Italian.
"…is that normal?" Jeff asked meekly.
"Sometimes… I usually throw a hissy fit if everyone but me is speaking Italian."
"Dear, you're getting Turned in a month. You'll live until then," Isabelle said lightly in English.
"You don't see me talking in languages you don't understand, do you?"
"Serenity dear, I'm much older than you. I think I speak more languages then-."
"Ich bin nicht einverstanden." ('I disagree' in German)
"Wirklich?" ('Really' in German)
"Vil du si dette?" ('Do you speak this?' in Dutch)
"Ja." (Yes.)
"Você chupar." ('You suck' in Portuguese.)
"…what?"
"Angel, that wasn't nice," Danny said dryly.
"Je t'aime!" Serenity chirped sweetly. ('I love you' in French)
"…what?"
"Eu te amo."
"Eu te amo, também." ("I love you, too" in Portuguese.)
"Dante, what did Serenity say to me?" Isabelle demanded.
"She said you sucked."
"I'm pretty sure she does that to you."
"Aunt Izzy! Take that back, now. You know how I feel about that."
"Mr. Potter, where were you?" Dumbledore demanded when his second youngest professor finally showed back up.
"Home. I had to help clean up Serenity's mess. Excuse me for taking care of my little sister…"
"Miss Weasley?"
"Helping my friend take care of the kids they took off the streets. Danny was too busy spazzing over Ren."
"Mr. Zabini?"
"Hey, I was there for ten minutes only! I was the one who dragged these two imps out of there."
"Hey!" Harry and Ginny said in unison.
"Gin, you're not Danny, hun," Blaise stated. "Harry and Dan act like twins, not you and Harry."
"Right, I'll be running to my class I am ten minutes late for," Harry stated. Oops, he was late for Transfiguration. Oh well!
"Potter, where were you?" Minerva demanded.
"Making sure Serenity wasn't faking being sick," Harry said dryly.
"You are aware you need to cover her then? Miss Granger will give you your makeup work."
"Okay then. Great, off to the other side of the castle then."
"Do not say a word about magic or else," Danny growled to the currently terrified Muggle when they were approaching one of his father's homes.
"O-okay… Keep your pants on."
"I'd rather he'd take them off," Serenity chirped impishly.
"Shush, Vix," Danny snapped.
Jeff waited until the limo was out of sight before saying, "Father the elite society is a magical society hidden from our eyes this entire time! Dante Riddle is a vampire! And-."
"And I know I told you to keep your mouth shut," Danny said lightly and stepped out of the shadows menacingly. "Keep in mind who the trained assassin is between the two of us."
"I, um, I…"
"Get away from my son, demon!" Jeff's mom yelled and tossed garlic at the vampire.
"Not again…" Danny managed to get out before violently sneezing. A golden shield suddenly protected the vampire from the evil root vegetable.
"Right, why do you non-magus think it's a good idea to throw garlic at someone higher in the food chain than you," Serenity said dryly. "You okay, dearie?"
"Yes, duh."
"Really, because you were running from a vegetable with Mindy yesterday."
"Shut up."
"I love you, too."
"I love you, Vixie."
"Why are you always bickering?" Jeff couldn't help but complain.
"We're just special like that."
"In what way."
"You are aware I can suck all the blood out of your body, right?"
"Danny, calm down," Serenity said soothingly and rubbed her mate's back. "Leave the Muggles alone."
"What did you call me?" Lord Schrio demanded.
"Term for non-magical person originally used by-. Okay, I'll shut up now."
Danny groaned. This was going to be a looooong day.
George yawned. The weekday mornings were always so slow…
"Hey, mates!" Lee Jordan greeted when he entered Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes.
"Hey, Lee!" George said happily. "How are you?"
"I've been great."
"…since when did you have muscles…?"
"I've been working out."
"Why?"
"It scores big time on the ladies."
"Keep in mind our little Harry Potter is the most eligible bachelor according to Witch Weekly."
"He won that after it was leaked by some Ministry official that Riddle was betrothed to the blonde Potter."
"Ronnikins is ticked because he was going to ask out someone Harry was seen with. Lavender I think…"
"I heard he's been flirting and doing a lot of snogging lately…"
"From where?"
"…sources…"
"O…kay."
Of all times his communicator had to go off… Lee paled when the obnoxious song Ellie had set his communicator on started to sound. He was going to get that little brat for that.
"What is that?!" George demanded and took the liberty of taking the neon-purple – he was going to kill Ellie for using potions to change the color– out of his pocket.
"I, um, I."
"Lee…! Pick up…!" was vaguely heard whined by Mindy.
"Give me that," Lee finally snapped. "Yes, Mindy?"
"Tell Ellie to play with us…! She's been locking herself up in her lavatory…! Mommy and Daddy went somewhere with Aunt Izzy and Uncle Jerry with that one guy that was in Uncle Jamie's bed."
"…you mean laboratory? And guy in Un-, Harry's bed?"
"I don't know. I'm bored…!"
"Go prank someone."
"There's no one to prank, and Mommy found the stuff Daddy got me when she was helping me and Angie clean our room."
"Break the door down or booby-trap it then."
"Okay!"
"I rue the day Ellie gave Mindy the combination to my communicator," Lee stated with a sigh. "Actually, I think I rue the day I met Ellie…"
"Okay then," George stated slowly. "So you're a Nundu."
"No, really?"
"How do we sign up?" Fred asked and poked his head out from under the counter where he had randomly been eavesdropping the whole time.
"…what?" It was Lee's turn to be shocked. "Why were you under the counter, Fred?"
"Testing a new product. It temporarily makes you invisible. I was going to prank George, but you walked in."
"Oh… I am scared now."
"Why?"
"You are aware the Nundus aren't known for sanity and maturity, right?"
"What? I am in the middle of a potion, Jordan," Ellie snapped.
"Mindy decided to call me in the middle of a conversation, and my friends who I was talking with said they wanted to join," Lee said with a scowl.
"Oh… I knew giving her your combo was a good idea!"
"I hate you."
"You know you love me. Who?"
"The Weasley twins."
"I'll need leader approval since they have ties to the Flamingos."
"Are Dan and Vix snogging again?"
"No, Dan got dragged shopping by his aunt and uncle. Of course Serenity went. For someone who used to be the biggest tomboy I've ever met, she likes shopping a lot."
"She is a former gold digger, remember?"
"Yeah, and of course the boy she was planning on marrying one way or another just had to be a long lost heir."
"…hair?"
"No, you idiot. H-E-I-R."
"Oh…"
"Go call Dan or Ren."
"Dan will love the excuse to get away."
"Dante, I see you're about to run off," Jeremiah stated lightly.
"I don't like dress clothes…!" Danny whined with a pout.
"Dante, I am sick of seeing you run around dressed like a hooligan."
"You can take the kid out of the street, but you can't take the street out of the kid," Danny snapped back. "You should be glad Ren and I were finally able to ditch our Cockney accents a little before Ren's fifteenth birthday."
"…you lived on the streets…"
"You seriously didn't know that?" Danny snapped back. "Do you realize I had a shitty childhood at an abusive orphanage to the point of running away and living on the streets for over a year?"
"I don't think this is the best place to have this conversation."
"No, really?"
"You seriously don't have to go in the dressing room with me, Izzy," Serenity stated dryly.
"I need to make sure we don't need to get things tailored to fit your itty bitty frame. I have no idea how you have curves and be so thin."
"Veela."
Danny smiled victoriously when he found out he had business he needed to do at home.
"Uncle Jerry, I have to go. Something came up," he stated.
"Dante…" Jeremiah grounded out.
"What? I need to mind scan recruits. I'm the only one who can do that."
"Now?"
"Yes. Two of them will be very good for the Nundus if they are being sincere. Ren doesn't have to leave, but I do."
"I'll call you when we're going to drop her off…"
"I'm going to make sure she doesn't want to leave with me. You know how Ren gets."
"We need to do something about her separation anxiety."
Danny warped home right when Lee and the twins were stepping out of the floo.
"Good timing," Danny said lightly.
"Hey, mate," Lee greeted cheerfully and bumped fists with his leader. "Mindy said Ren found the pranks you got her…"
"I'll just get her more and tell Mins to hide it better next time. Ren already said something to me."
Fred couldn't help but be scared when hypnotic, unblinking blue eyes suddenly peered into his intensely.
"You need to see all my new clothes, dearie!" Serenity chirped and jumped on Danny's back.
"Love, busy," Danny stated.
"I know you are. You're busy paying attention to me."
"Angel."
"Master!"
"I seriously am kind of busy, love."
"…looking at pranks?"
"Yes. It is an important part of the Nundus and defines who we are."
"Immature?"
"Eggzactly!"
"…okie dokie then… going to do my laundry. Do you want anything washed?"
"I'm short on t-shirts for some reason…" was said with a pointed look at Serenity.
"Jerry bought you some more. Oh, and you still have new clothes. I know what size you are, remember? You have to try everything on."
"Ren…!"
"And I'm gonna watch you change!"
"You are aware I'm going to make you sit there in your underwear if you do, right?"
"Do you think I care?"
"Serenity dear, help Jerry take in the bags," Isabelle said calmly.
"Cling, cling, cling, cling." Serenity tightly clung to her Danny.
"Do you think she's clingy or something?" Danny asked dryly to the laughing Lee and Weasley twins.
"I loooooooooove you," Serenity chirped and kissed his head.
"Oh yes, sorry about giving her Starbucks, Dante," Isabelle said.
"Please tell you didn't give her a lot of sugar… It makes her horny," Danny said nervously. His question was answered by Serenity sucking on his neck. "Babe, wait until the people are gone."
"Master…" was purred by the veela.
"Angel, wait."
"Master going to take me?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"We're minors."
"So?"
"Dante, you need to try these on," Jeremiah stated and handed Danny an armful of suits.
"I don't like suits…!" Danny whined.
"You'll be getting used to them once you take the throne."
"I'm not taking it until I'm eighteen though."
"What?! I thought-."
"Do not tell me you thought I was going to take it this December. I am not prepared and haven't even been your heir for even half a year."
"Euh…"
"Cling!" Serenity whined when Danny tried to get her off him.
"Ren, get off me. That's an order, Angel."
"Hmph." Serenity left to go brood somewhere.
"Where"
"Did"
"She"
"Go?" the twins asked.
"Um, it sounds like she went into the kitchen… I hope she went into the kitchen. That means food, and food is good," Danny stated intelligently.
"She promised to give me that muffin recipe of hers," Isabelle stated.
"I'm hungry…" Danny wandered off in search of Serenity.
"Get used to it," Lee groaned when he saw the twins about to say something. "I think Dan has ADD or ADHD or something like that…"
"…we should probably get him tested for that," Jeremiah muttered to Isabelle.
"Here you go, Izzy," Serenity said as she reappeared with a piece of paper in hand.
"…one cup whatever-blood-Dearie-may-have-in-the-refrigerator?" Izzy asked dryly when she started to read it.
"Danny has the extra blood he sometimes gets while hunting stored in the fridge."
"O…k… then."
"Ren, I'm hungry…!" Danny whined.
"Go make a sandwich then," Serenity snapped back. "Most people would've eaten lunch already."
"Ren…!"
"Oh for Morgana's sake, Dan!"
Serenity pouted when Danny decided to just pick her up and carry her into the kitchen.
"Bwahahaha," Danny cackled.
"…Danny, don't ever do that again," Serenity said slowly as she started to boil water to make her Master macaroni and cheese.
"I win, ha ha!"
Serenity couldn't help but grumble profanities under her breath when Danny left her with a collar around her neck and leashed to the oven. She should've known doing that to him would bite her in the ass one of these days!
Jeremiah and Isabelle went in the kitchen to say goodbye to Serenity and blinked at her predicament.
"…Danny is getting me back for all the times I forced him to help me in the kitchen by doing this to him…" she mumbled under her breath.
Danny smiled happily when Serenity was dishing food for him.
"Food!" he chirped and happily started to eat with Serenity kept firmly on his lap.
"Go ahead," Serenity said and rolled her eyes when she saw the twins and Lee edging towards the food. "Master, please tell you fed the kids at least…"
"They had sandwiches earlier."
"And yet you refused?"
"Because I can force you to get me something better."
Serenity rolled her eyes and checked the windowsill where she had catnip drying for her baby Darrikins.
"Darry…! Here, baby!" she yelled. The kitten jumped on the windowsill and stared at its mommy. Serenity scooped the crumpled catnip into a bowl and gave it to Darry.
"Ren… Why are Darry's eyes dilating…?" Danny asked in shock.
"Hm? …you actually know what dilating means?"
"I'm serious. What did you give that thing?!"
"Catnip."
"I know I didn't buy any."
"You bought me a plant, remember? I've had it drying over there for a while, and you just noticed?"
"Erm… No, those are miiiine…!" Danny whined when the twins found his muffins.
"…sorry…" the twins said in unison and carefully put the container of muffins down.
"I doubt you would've liked them anyways considering there's blood in them. The purple container has blueberry muffins in it," Serenity stated.
"…what is up-" "with that cat?" the twins asked.
"Catnip," Danny mumbled.
"Hm… So if we have Ronnikins' bed covered with catnip and Crookshanks finds it…"
"DIE!" Serenity screamed and ripped the quill out of Fred's hands. She started to shred it with a slight twitch.
Danny sighed and said, "She did that almost the whole first week of Hogwarts until the students started to transfigure the quills to not look like feathers…"
"…what?" Fred asked in confusion.
"She hates birds. I don't know how she ever managed to learn to control her animagus form…"
"Her form is a raven," Lee cleared up with amusement.
Harry blinked a few times when Hedwig delivered a small pouch of catnip to him.
"Mr. Potter, what is that?" Dumbledore asked sternly.
"…I think it's catnip… Is that what Danny's been smoking all this time? Oh, wait, there's a note! Yes, it's catnip… Okay, why did someone send me catnip?!"
"Well, it has such a nice lemony scent…"
Harry just stared at Dumbledore in horror before going to sit next to Ginny.
"The twins want you to put that on Ron's bed," Ginny stated.
"O…k…" Harry replied in confusion.
"Something about Darry getting high…"
"Oh, we should give some to Minnie then."
And since I feel bad for spacing out for a few months...
Next time in Impact... (Teasers/scenes from chappie 8)
Danny paled when Serenity clung to him Wednesday morning and wailed, "Master, I need more pads…!"
"…why are you telling me?"
"You don't want me anymore?!"
Danny closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Okay, Serenity had at least stopped treating him as her pet while going through psycho menstruation.
"Are you doubting me, Angel?" he asked sternly.
"N-no, Master," was quickly said.
"Why are you taking your shirt off?"
"To please you, sir."
"Keep your shirt on, and don't 'sir' me."
Serenity's lip started to quiver.
"What's wrong?" Danny said tenderly and pulled her to him.
"Y-you're n-not going to keep me!" was wailed.
"Calm down, Angel," Danny whispered lovingly and kissed her head tenderly. Serenity eagerly clung to him. "Now what were you whining about earlier?"
"I need more pads…"
"Let me get you dressed and myself dressed, and we can go run to the store, okay?"
"Okay!"
Serenity glowered when Ellie entered the kitchen when she was making Master breakfast.
"Get out," she snarled dangerously and tried to shield her Master from view.
"…what crawled up your ass?" Ellie asked dryly and dodged the fireball with a practiced ease (something most of the senior Nundus had after the first year). "Dan, I-."
Ellie gasped when she was floating in the air from Serenity's magic. "GET AWAY FROM MY MASTER, BITCH!" the veela screeched in fury.
"Guys…" Lee groaned when he wanted to talk to Danny about something. Why were they always snogging on the job?!
'Can't you tell we're Feeding?' was snapped in Lee's mind by both of the mages.
"Mr. Riddle, what a surprise," Dumbledore said warmly. Maybe the boy would change sides? He could be the ultimate spy against Voldemort!
"…that would be a logical choice."
"Um, I don't know what logical means, so I'm just going to wreak havoc on your school now, tootles!"
Dumbledore cursed Slytherin when the boy warped somewhere in the castle. He hated how the heirs could transport within castle walls.
Har, are you busy Friday night?'
'Nope, why?' Harry answered.
'Some Muggle lord wants a meeting with the three of us.'
'…why?'
'No clue. He's the father of the Jeff kid.'
'Oh, and Jeff couldn't keep his mouth shut?'
'Ye-up.'
'How's Ren?'
'I'm fine,' Serenity stated.
'How are you in my head?'
'Went through Master. Duh.'
'Angel, be nice,' Danny scolded gently.
'Right, going back to making out with some random girl now,' Harry decided.
'Ew…!' Serenity couldn't help but whine.
"…Harry, who was that…?" Hermione asked slowly.
"I don't know, but she had a nice rack," Harry stated with a smirk.
"Pervert!" Harry scowled when Hermione slapped him across the face.
"Ow… What was that for?"
"For staring at her rack!"
"We're not dating anymore."
"Hi, Harry, Hermione!" Luna chirped and jumped on Harry's back.
"Hiya, Luna," Harry said and kissed her cheek.
"Are you sure you don't want to join Harry and I in making out?" Luna innocently asked Hermione.
Hermione once again turned an interesting mixture of green and red before stalking off.
"You're nicer," Serenity decided and poked Harry a few times.
"Quit it, munchkin," Harry said teasingly and poked her back.
"Poke!"
"Poke."
"Pore!"
"Fort!"
"Pork!"
"Spork!"
"…okay, you guys can stop whenever you want," Danny said slowly.
"POKE!" Serenity chirped and poked Danny's nose to his bemusement.
"I got a spork," Harry said seriously and conjured a spork. "And I think I know how to use it."
"…okay then, Jim…" Danny said slowly. "You two need to stay away from caffeine!"
"You drink it, too, now."
"Yeah, but I limit myself. I got a small; you guys got larges."
"It was your idea to stop at a coffee house after dinner."
"I was tired…! Do you want me driving when I'm tired?"
"No… Fear my spork!"
Danny sighed and snatched the spork from Harry. "Gimme that."
"Mine!"
"Ha, it's mine now," Serenity cackled and stole it from Danny.
"Give me it," Danny said with blue eyes piercing into gold.
Whee, I love how a lot of those little tidbits make no sense without the rest of the content. cackles
