This story is adopted from TheSugarBabyCupcake, originally titled 'Vampire Harry and the Useless Red Stone' this story was originally her idea and vision but when she put it up for adoption I snapped up the chance to own it. I had to change the title because of FanFiction rules. The first two chapters were written by her, I just made some minor changes. My own chapters start from chapter 3, I hope I do this story justice.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, J.K Rowling does *sigh* lucky bitch (I mean that in the nicest way possible Miss Rowling).

UPDATE: This story is now being re-written. Head to chapter 8 for the new version. I won't be deleting this until the rewrite catches up to it. Enjoy!

It was a cool crisp night on October 31, 1981. Vendetta was glad that all the street lamps where strangely unlit. She walked along Privet Drive. Her long black hair lying on top of her dress, which was dragging itself on the ground.

She sighed 'Aaron and I have tried so hard to have a child, all my other friends seem to have at least one; I keep failing or getting miscarriages.' She stopped dead in her tracks. Wailing was heard across the streets. 'A child? Out here?'

Vendetta started to run towards the wailing. She found an infant in a basket with a note. The infant was obviously human and sitting on an abandoned house's doorstep. 'Don't these people know that the Dursley's were arrested for child abuse last night?' She saw a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead, strange. Did Dracula answer her and her husband's pleas? Was a child finally bestowed upon them? Well she just can't leave him out here can she. Picking up the crying infant, she silently rocked him to sleep. "Oh my beautiful child, rest now you can be at peace." She whispered and took out her portkey and ported back to her mansion. The note fell off and Mrs. Figg was contacting Dumbledore at that exact moment.

"Are you sure you couldn't see a face?" Dumbledore asked Mrs. Figg, the twinkle in his eye gone. He was holding the note that fell out of the basket. "Positive." She walked over to her window and pointed across the street. Where Aurors where investigating the scene. "She picked him up, said something and disappeared!" Dumbledore nodded slowly. 'This will take time to find out who kidnapped Harry but he might already be harmed or worse, dead. He can't lose such a precious weaponto Voldemort, he just can't'. Molly walked over and sighed. "How come the Dursley's didn't get him off their doorstep?" Mrs. Figg looked thoughtful for a moment before saying: "They were arrested for child abuse and their son was sent into foster care." Everyone stared open mouthed at Mrs. Figg, this will take awhile to fix.

Vendetta popped into her room and sat the child down on her bed. "Aaron you won't believe this!" She cried happily.

"What is it?" Aaron asked curiously but said no more in mere shock at seeing the child. "Y-you stole a child!?" His eyes widened. She sighed exasperatedly and rolled her eyes "No honey, some people dumped him on an abandoned house's doorstep and left him there! He was going to die if I didn't help him!"

Aaron smiled "Want to start the ritual?" Vendetta relaxed "Yes that would be nice."

Careful not to drop him she brought him down to the ritual chambers and gently laid him down on the table and then woke him up. He started to cry and she gently sat him up and poured a Pain Killing Potion into his mouth. It would dull the pain that the transformation causes. She did the best of her ability to make it taste good and still have a strong effect without diluting the potion. She apparently did a pretty good job because she had no trouble getting it down.

She nipped her hand and allowed a drop of blood hit the transformation potion, Aaron already did his. This potion will make him look like he was born into this family. Instead of Harry Potter it would be Harry Le Torneau. She paused, she actually didn't know the child's name! How silly, she would have to make one up for him. Trevor? Nah too ordinary besides she has a feeling he won't like the name later on in life. Thereon? That sounds nice! Thereon Le Torneau. A mouthful but a beautiful name at that.

She went over and bit his neck. The child gasped and fainted, but that was to be expected. She watched as his skin paled and he became healthier. When it was done he opened his eyes, to her surprise they where a gentle scarlet, like what most normal vampires had. But had a hint of purple, making them look magenta. She poured the transformation potion into his mouth and he cried a little bit. His hair became a dark red with some mahogany coloured highlights. His eyes were the same and she was glad at that. She liked those intelligent filled eyes of his.

She called Aaron back down (Because he doesn't like seeing children in pain) and he said he looked wonderful. A few months later a pregnant Vendetta gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Aaron and Vendetta have never been so happy in their lives.

"Uhh Dumbledore, you might want to see this." Dumbledore walked over to Arthur who had a wand in hand. "Look at this." He said sadly. "Point me Harry Potter!" Nothing happened. Dumbledore got a worried look on his face. "Do you think Voldemort got him?" Before Arthur could finish Mrs. McGonagall who looked very concerned as well as angry ranted.

"Albus how could you lose him!? I knew that his relatives would hate him and I warned you about them they're the worst kind of muggle! They're so irresponsible that they got thrown in jail! I knew that this would happen!" Finished with her rant she sat down, looking tired.

"I know Minerva and I am truly aware of my mistake and we will get young Harry back, we have Aurors looking for him now." McGonagall looked slightly less upset she opened her mouth to say something then Severus came in.

"Albus what are you going to tell the wizarding world and the Ministry, that you lost our savoir because of lack of knowledge or you simply didn't care." Minerva looked shocked. "Severus what are you suggesting!?" He turned to face her "I'm simply stating that if we had more... information this would never have happened."

Albus acted sad. "Yes this is a very great loss... We will say that he died of a very bad case of Wizard Pox-" "WIZARD POX!?" Minerva bolted up. "I'm starting to believe Severus now Albus, did you even care for hi-" Albus cut her off "Let's all calm down, until we find him, he died of Wizard Pox."

"Thereon! Come on wake up!" His little sister Angelica jumped up and down on his bed. "Come on wake up its Christmas already!"

Thereon opened his eyes and sat up. He yawned and stretched "You go on down, I'll be there in a second." Too excited to answer him she ran out of the room and stormed down the stairs.

He sighed. Today, December 24th was his birthday. Since they didn't know his real birthday he could pick one out himself. Today he would be 10 years of age. He learned a lot about magic ever since his parents found out he could do it. They were Daywalkers.

He got dressed quickly and walked down the grand staircase. He took a sharp right and walked into the family room to see Angelica tearing into presents and his parents were sitting at the table eating breakfast. "Good morning, mum, dad." Thereon greeted his parents with a sly smile. "So what was with the 'wake up call' this morning?"

Vendetta stopped drinking her tea and smiled. "Today is a big day, we know that your 10 already so don't give me that." She smirked when Thereon was about to say that he knew he was ten; and shut his mouth. Aaron continued "Today is your test to see if you're a Grim Reaper, Weeping Angel or a Blind Judgement."

Thereon was practically jumping up and down. "Ooo! When do we start?!" Vendetta was about to scold him, when Aaron chuckled. "Right now." Thereon was shocked to see Lord Death walk in. "Hello Thereon Le Torneau." Death greeted. He was a tall man wearing a black tux, and a skull mask with a hood. "I'm sure you already know who I am, given your parents have personally served me for a long time."He nodded at them. "Today we will see who you are." He set down three items on an empty space at the table. Angelica stopped opening presents to come see what all the commotion was about. The first one a mini scythe, which looked adorable. The second a pair of wings. The third a balance scale. "One of these will choose you, and then you can start learning in that subject."

The three items started to float in the air. Suddenly (Cause there has to be a plot twist XD) All three items burst into showers of light, each trying to out-do the other. "Well..." Lord Death stated "It appears you have traits of all three positions..." Thereon looked out at him. "What do we do know, I certainly can't learn all of them. Angelica and his parents were all open mouthed; if he were alone he would have laughed his ass off. "You will learn to be a Shinigami." Thereon paused. "Isn't a 'Shinigami' just another word for a Grim Reaper?"

Death chuckled "Yes indeed it is, but a Shinigami is a powerful being who reaps souls, collects them, and judges them all at the same time; a combination of all the positions." He paused for a moment. "Though they're not... noticed as a holy entity, they have the most difficult job; they also have a worse 'unholy' reputation out of all the other positions." Thereon's eyes went wide. "Do you want to take up the job as a Shinigami and become my pupil?" Thereon nearly fainted but said "YES! Of course!" Death smirked behind his mask. "Good I will see you tomorrow for your first lesson as well as training." Death was gone in a blink of an eye. And with that, Thereon fainted.
