The Dursleys go on vacation and there was no time to leave their freak nephew behind. But when his family meet their end, one vampire notice that the three year old has a gift. The Voltori leaders decide to raise him as their own, until he's old enough to be changed. Off course nothing goes as planned when there is a potter involved.
Harry shuffled after his aunt and uncle who were loudly walking through the halls of the strange castle. The three year old had no idea why his skin tinkled but he didn't like it here.
Puffing his long raven black hairs from his eyes he hurried a bit so he walked closer to his relatives. They hadn't want to take him along on this trip but Harry had been present when the beautiful lady came to present uncle Vernon his price. He had won a trip for his whole family to Italy and it was too late to hide the 'freak'.
The trip included a trip to the old city Volterra, it was a four hour bus ride from their hotel but if he had to believe aunt Petunia's tea friends it was well worth it.
"MOMMY! I HUNGRY!" Dudley cried from his father's arms. The walk was too long for someone as young as Dudley had uncle Vernon said and carried the tired toddler. Harry didn't even point out that he was younger than Dudley or that he was tired or hungry too, it would only earn him another beating. And his ribs still hurt from last time.
"Here Duddykiss." Aunt Petunia gave Dudley a candy bar and a kiss on his head, which Harry's eyes followed hungry. "It won't be long before we reach the main centre of the castle and you'll get to be the prince you deserve."
The tour group past large doors
Harry's skin started to really itch when he saw the beautiful people stand there in the main room. Three man were clearly the leaders with one black haired one the main leader. And the moment he noticed their red black eyes he knew something was really, really wrong. He needed to get out, out now.
"Aunt Petunia. I need to go to the bathroom." Harry whispered. "Really bad."
His aunt glared down at him and whispered softly so that no human could hear them. "Not now you Freak. If you don't quiet down I'll promise you that Vernon will teach you a lesson when you get home."
Harry whimpered and quickly took a step back. From his position he saw a boy from a year of fourteen walk to the main leader what looked like he wanted to tell something but when his hand touched the leader the man gave a short nod and the boy walked to him. "Did you need a bathroom?" he asked straight to the point.
His relatives glared to him but Harry didn't care, he would be punished anyway. "Yes please."
"Follow me." Turning on his heals he stalked out the room. Harry ran after him, his short legs having trouble to keep up with the teen. When they entered an empty room the boy turned to him. "I'm sorry, but at least yours will be painless." He said as smoke started to come from his hands.
Harry looked in awe as the smoke made a circle around him. "You have freakiness too." The three year old said in delight. He closed his eyes focussing on the mist, building a dragon out of it.
"Impossible." Was said in Italian, the teen took Harry's arm and pulled him along. "Master would want to see this. You may call me Alec, What's your name human?"
"Harry." Whispered the toddler, he wasn't bothered by the fact that a strange person was pulling him along. First of it was away from the scary room and second uncle Vernon had always said that if a stranger asked him to come with him he should.
"Harry." Repeated Alec, pushing him in a small room filled with books. "You have to stay here. Sit and don't move."
Obedient sat Harry down on the ground, his need for the bathroom all but forgotten, Alec nodded pulled the door close and left.
For the last two years he lived at his relatives house Harry had learned one thing quickly. To follow orders. So when Alec returned half hour later, now with bright red eyes, he was still seated on the same spot staring of in space.
Alec had brought a girl his age, the three leaders and two other man along. They all were pale and beautiful but Harry was more looking at the bright red eyes.
"Master, it doesn't work." The girl said with awe. "My power."
The main leader looked at the girl before turning back to Harry. "You haven't moved at all child."
"Alec told me to sit down and don't move." Harry looked freighted. "Did I do something wrong, sir?"
There was amusement on the man's face before it was hidden away. "No young Harry. Alec told me you have some powers, I would like to know about them."
"I'm not supposed to talk about it sir." Whispered Harry. "Uncle Vernon will get angry if I do."
"Your uncle isn't here anymore, neither is your aunt." The girl said. "They're dead."
The beautiful people frowned at the girl but Harry only blinked confused a few times. "I don't have to go back home anymore? Where do I go now?" he didn't care that his relatives had died, uncle Vernon had always said that his parents were bad people who deserved to die, so they probably suffered the same faith. But where would he end up?
"If you show me what power you have you can stay with us." The main leader kneeled down. "This is a special castle, filled with people with powers maybe like yours."
"Your freaks too?" asked Harry in a whisper. "I would love to stay."
"Marvellous." The leader said, clapping his hands. "And no young Harry, we're not freaks. We're vampires, our whole coven is. And if you stay with us you'll be one too. My name is Aro, and these two are my brothers Marcus and Caius. You know Alec and that is his twin Jane. Felix and Demetri will be your protectors when you're in these walls."
Harry accepted Aro's hand to pull him up, it was cold and it felt like stone. The three year old let out a whimper when he was picked up so he was seated on vampire's arm. It was almost too soft to hear but Harry swore that the man say. "He can defeat us all."
"What's wrong with him?" frowned Felix.
"I imagine that his previous caretakers didn't appreciate the powers the young one possesses." Aro said, carefully rubbing Harry's back making the tired younger's head fall on the stony shoulder. "Go to sleep young Harry. You're home now."

The next few weeks was everyone getting used to the changes. First off, all vampires were forbidden to hurt, eat or even scare at the young Harry while he was under the protection of Aro. Secondly, Harry had to stay away from the feeding room when it was dinner time for the vampires. One vampire had to stay with Harry during that time to make sure that the toddler had no idea what was going on, as reward, the babysitter was allowed a free day to hunt for himself. This was something Aro never allowed before. Third, Harry wasn't allowed to go anywhere without a member of the guard with him. Visiting vampires didn't know about the little human and accidents could happen.
Nobody had told Harry about the rules Aro had laid down, the toddler just adored all the attention given to him by everyone. He beamed when Jane offered to stay with him when it was dinner time to teach him to read. He enjoyed playing tag and hide and seek with Felix and Demetri in the many halls. Harry loved bed time when Alec helped him bath and Aro would tell him a story before he was tucked in his own bed.
The three year old had forgotten about the first week when he was still scared of his uncle and others. But the vampires never forgot.
Many things had been broken, first an antic table when Marcus set on treating the many wound on the child's body. A door of the cupboard in Harry's room when Jane found him there the next morning and asked him why he was sleeping on the cold floor. A book, when Harry told Aro that Freaks were too nasty to be read to like good boys. Toys, when Harry asked Dimitri and Felix why they would play with an ungrateful boy like him and the list continued.
Harry often wondered why they left the room when something broke and came back with their eyes redder than before.
"Uncle Aro." Harry called as he ran through the hall to his uncle. His dark hair still wet from his bath and dressed into an adorable emerald onesie pyjama that covered his feet. "I've read snow white all by myself before dinner. Jane said I'll be a ready for the grown up books soon. And Felix and I made a pooh bear puzzle with more *yawn* than two hundred pieces, it was really hard and Felix couldn't do it by himself so he asked me to help him. And uncle *Yawn* Caius and Alec have helped me with my powers, look." Harry held out his hand and a candle flew over to them. Aro made sure to catch it before the fire had even a chance of hurting the youngster. "I can make *yawn* anything come my way."
"That's amazing news little one." Complimented Aro, picking the little boy up. He was still way to light and small for his age but at least all his wounds had healed. "But I believe it's time for little boys to go to bed. It's past eight young man and bed time was a half hour ago."
"But I'm *yawn* not tired." Harry let his head drop on the cold shoulder. "And you promised *yawn* to read for me."
"How about I just tell you a story," Aro took the thick warm blanket to bundle the three year old in as he sat on the rocking chair. "Have I ever told you about the south American vampire wars?" Harry shook his head, the thumb made its way to his mouth. "Many covens believed that they should be the strongest coven in the new world. They created armies, you see young vampires are almost as strong as Felix, before their strength will slowly decrease. The battles were huge, many coven's lost and gained territory and many vampires lost their lives. Uncle Marcus decided that we had to step in, we travelled and found the main covens. We quickly made the new-borns disappear and warn…" the ancient vampire smiled down at the sleeping toddler. He placed him on the bed and stayed to watch for a moment to the innocence on the bed. "Goodnight little prince. Sweet dreams."

It was just after Harry's fourth birthday when he showed that his powers were getting stronger. Harry was running around in the great hall, being chased by Felix. He tried to hide behind Caius legs, giggling. "Safe me Uncle Caius. Don't let Felix get me."
"Not now little prince." Caius said with a fond smile, ruffling the already messy dark hair. "I'm busy, run along. I'm sure Dimitri will help you."
"Dimitri!" Harry tried to reach the other vampire but was intercepted by Felix who started to tickle the boy. "NO!" laughed Harry trying to fight the hands of. "Let me go." Suddenly Felix was thrown to the other side of the room by an invisible force. Every head turned to the little boy who suddenly looked frightened. He tried to run away but was quickly picked up by Dimitri. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry." Harry said panicked, hiding his face in the ice cold stone shoulder.
Felix jumped up, no harm done and only surprised. "It's all right little prince. See, I'm not angry. No harm done."
Shy looked Harry up, tears clear in his emerald eyes. Felix lifted the child over in his arms, slowly bouncing the sobbing child. The three leaders shared a look, "Our little one is no mere human destined to be with us. Harry may be from the wizard world." Marcus said in monotone.
"We should start to train his powers now," said Caius, "If he can learn to control it he will be useful when he is older."
"I'll seek contact with the goblins." Aro mused. "If anyone knows how we could train our little prince, they'll have the answer."
The answer surprised them all. The voltori prince was the saviour of the wizard world, he was hit by a curse no-one ever survived and Harry only had a scar. The vampires found out that Harry had a godfather, a lord who was left to rot in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Aro imagined that Lord Sirius Black of house Black would be a marvellous addition to his guard and started the process of getting the man free. Another family friend who was supposed to raise and protect Harry had no excuse of letting the child being abused at the hands of his relatives. Remus Lupin, a werewolf so their natural enemy should have protected Harry after his parents died. Lupin should have stand up for his friend and at least demand a fair trial. Dumbledore, the voltori had heard stories about the wizard, he was supposed to be Harry's guardian but Harry was never reported missing, no-one checked up on him. The goblins agreed with Aro's accuse of neglect and transferred the guardianship over to the rightful owner, Sirius Black. Until Black had a trial and was actually convicted for murder or released, Harry would stay for evermore in the hands of the voltori with no means for the wizard world to track the little one down.
As for magical education, they bought books and thought Harry to read and self-educate. It was only at the second chapter when wand movements were mentioned that they discovered that Harry was doing wandless magic.
It was October, Harry was six when Jane walked in his bedroom to find him pale and sweaty. Feverish emerald eyes looked up to meet red ones, "Jane I don't feel good." Mumbled Harry pitifully before turning over and groaning in pain.
Jane called out and soon the three voltori leaders, their wives, the twins, Felix and Dimitri were gathered around Harry's bedside. Marcus, by far the best healer of them all was brushing through Harry's hair. Harry's eyes were closed as he lay still in the bed. "I don't recognise the smell of this virus. We might need to bring him to the wizard healers."
"They'll ask questions we can't answer." Snapped Caius.
"Brother, Harry is still human." Marcus reminded him. "He's weak and this could kill him."
"Master." Alec took a step forward. "Carlisle is a human doctor. It would mean we have to show Harry to him but he can be trusted."
Aro sat on the bed, pulling the awfully warm body against his cold chest in an attempt to cool him down. "Felix, Dimitri, take three guards and bring me Carlisle. Go now, and hurry." Harry let out a whimper in pain as the two vampires started to run out.
