Chapter 12
I touched down gently careful not to wake Harry who lay sleeping cradled in my arms, looking sweet and innocent. I strode towards the two large wooden doors that creaked and moaned till they flung themselves open recognising my power as King, the whole city sighed happily as I walked through the streets heading straight for the castle where the King was holding counsel over all the inhabitants of this once radiant city, his evilness had poisoned the very foundations of this city, the trees where long since dead and the sun barely shined here anymore, It was not the beautiful city of my ancestors anymore, it was a broken shell of the greatness that is was before. As I walked into the court yard I cast a disillusion spell on us. I listened as Renaldo, told lie after lie about what Voldemort could do for them, and how the rest of the Wizarding world was afraid of us, but with Voldemort we could live as equals.
Harry stirred and looked around. "Where are we?" He asked softly looking around. "Home." I whisper kissing him, a soft smile on my lips as I let him stand on his own feet.
"Yes I am." He whispered hugging me with a smile.
I grin and nuzzle his neck before pulling back and releasing my wings and heading for the front of the squire, Harry's hand clasped in mine. Both our sets of wing out in all their glory, the red and white contrasting starkly, but also looked like they belonged together.
Whispers started as soon as we walked forward as they stared in awe at our wings before they bowed to us. I sneered at Renaldo, who had the gall to continue standing.
"Who are you?" He demanded beckoning the guards forward. Harry got a sneer on his face worthy of a Snape, his iris' going as red as his wings. "Bow to your kings." He said in a low gravelly voice that brought Goosebumps to my skin and a shot of arousal though me, but I gathered it had a different effect on them as they guards shook slightly, where they stood and Renaldo gulped.
"Well?" He asked his voice holding a mocking quality.
"Bow." I command the man who had killed my family and forced me to turn my beloved Harry, my voice was so icy that whole court yard full of people froze but the stupid idiot in front of us did not obey. Harry moved forward in an almost invisible move and broke one of Renaldo's arms as he forced him to his knees.
I smirked at Harry my eyes lighting for a moment before becoming icy again as I looked down at Renaldo.
"For the murder of my family, I sentence you to death by sward." I said my voice automatically becoming loud enough for the whole place to hear. Harry grins and nods to me whishing for me to do the deed. I nodded in understanding and holding my hand out my sward appeared. He forces Renaldo to look up at me.
"Look up at your master." He hissed. "Look at the man that survived your travesty of treason." He whimpered and tried to get him to release his grip but he just shook his head and held tighter. I placed some flame into the blade before swinging it and taking off his head.
They watched with a look of blood thirsty hunger.
"Swear allegiance." I said my voice still icy. Harry walked to my side and stood looking down at them. 'Will they?' He thought to himself but with our connection I could hear him.
'They are not stupid they know that we are rightful kings.' I thought back to him with a blank face, he jumped slightly before relaxing as he realised that it was just me.
'Both of us kings huh?' He asked his eyes sparkling as I knew they would be even thought I couldn't see them.
'Of course.' I thought back to him sweeping my icy gaze over the assembled people who bowed low towards us.
"We shall not follow that idiot Voldemort or Dumbledore, for he is a self serving fool." I said pulling Harry into an embrace while still watching the crowds of Vampires.
"I swear allegiance my liege." Said a deep cold voice from the back of the room as a man stood a slightly shorter and more delicately made man stood also joining his hands with the first man he also swore allegiance, after this all bar 2 of the vampires stood and swore allegiance.
"Who does not sware their allegiance to your lord and king?" Harry asked scowling at the two people who had not sworn.
They stood and scowled at Harry and myself four children hid behind the tallest boy who stood near the woman but not touching her implying that they were with them but did not really want to be, one child lay cradled in her arms.
"Why do you defy me?" I asked them my face blank of any emotion.
"We do not believe that you are the rightful king, and that Voldemort will rid the world of muggles and we can finally be free, and live without fear of persecution." The man said snarling at us by especially my arm that was wrapped around Harry I tightened my grip on Harry's waist and snarled at him.
He gulped but his wife placed a hand on his arms and he stood taller.
A harsh laugh from the body in front of me drew the eyes of everyone Harry had a twisted smirk on his face. "You really believe that he would keep you around after he won in the unrealistic world that he could actually succeed against me?" He asked. "He would kill you before the last breath of the opposition had taken. And then make you thankful that he did, I cannot let you take those poor children to certain death even if you leave I will not allow you to take these children." Harry said his voice low and gravelly, his eyes hard as he scowled at them the children were exempt from the hard look as he smiled softly down at them, he took a small step towards them I followed my arm still around his waist. We walked closer and closer to others around the couple moved back respectfully and the couple leaned back from us but otherwise did not move other than that. Harry knelt down in front of the children. "Hello there." He said in a soft voice, the children stared at him before softly saying hello.
"Would you like to stay with me or go with them?" He said pointing to their parents gently probing their minds as he spoke to them, what he daw in their minds made him murderously angry, there were images of being slapped around and being fed off by both of their parents.
"Would you feed of us like them?" Asked the oldest one, who stood protectively in front of the other three.
I was horrified and disgusted at the images I saw. "You should have never experienced that, I will make them pay, don't you worry." I said smiling softly and reassuringly at them, the thought of taking these children and naming them our own felt as right as taking Harry as my mate.
They nodded and all four walked forward the youngest being picked up and carried over. "Can I hold her?" Harry asked gesturing to the child in the oldest ones arms. "My name is Harrison but you can call me dad, because I play to adopt all of you my little darlings."
"You can call me Papa." I said with a smile kneeling down in front of them. "My given name is Draconis."
"I dreamed of you, Papa, Daddy." Said the child who appeared to be the second oldest, her eyes were dreamy and far away but an inner peace shined through her as she looked at the others. "Remember I told you about them, the lion and Dragon that would come and free us."
They both nodded before looking up and Harrison and myself, before the second youngest boy flung himself at us. "Daddy! Papa!" He said with a grin hugging us tightly. I held my arms out for the others as well, they flung themselves into our arms hugging us as tightly as we were hugging them.
"I'm Patrick Markus, That is Evangeline Amy, Willum Neil, Scarlet Abigail and the one who Amanda is holding is Alyss Jane." He said pointing to each in turn, He himself was tall for his age with black hair and dark blue eyes, Evangeline smiled up at us her bright blue eyes sparkling, her long blonde hair moved almost angelically around her face as she moved, Willum had black hair with blonde tips, his eyes were green, Scarlet had bright auburn hair, and gray eyes and Alyss who was in the woman's arms had one green eyes and one grey and her hair was shock white.
Harrison's eyes frosted again as he looked at the parents, Scarlet cradled in his arms, Patrick had one hand holding his pants as he watched his old parents.
"Hand over Alyss." I said taking a step closer Willum and Evangeline clutched at my pants and coat and shuffled forward as I took a step, Willum also caught hold of one of my wings very tightly it did not bother me.
"Hand her over." I said holding my arms out my hands reaching for her and she let me pluck the child gently out of her arms, her eyes were vacant as were his it was not a power that I had used yet but I knew from my memories that my voice used a certain way had the power to stun the persons it was addressed at, I rocked Alyss gently as she babbled at me, her hair going silvery blonde like mine. "Arrest them." I said my voice cold again.
The first two who had sworn allegiance come forward and grabbed both of them tying their arms together so they could not move them.
"Take them to the dungeon, I will think of a just punishment for hem later." I said turning to Harrison and smiling, "Let's go home."
"Home." He said with a smile, interlacing our fingers and smiling down at the children, "Come on kids lets go home."
"Home." Willum parroted with a giggle stroking my feathers.
