Notes: Hey everyone! I was looking through the stories I have posted and realized this one wasn't on here! LOL I was all ready to apologize for the delay in chapters but saw it wasn't necessary. I have had this in individual chapters for some time but apparently never got around to posting it! Anyway, this is a WIP, unlike Soulmates which is finished and I will post a chapter a week until I get caught up to what I have written. I hope you guys like it and thank you for checking it out!
Also, I want to say thank you to HarleyM and leonamasha (from Ao3) for their thoughts on a possible title! I combined what they suggested! Thank you! :) Thanks to them, this story got its title from Chapter Six on!
I hope you all are doing well and not going crazy over the insanity of our world! May the Universe smile upon you all! Now on to the story…
Disclaimer: I do not own anything and make no monies writing this.

Chapter 1
Eric was sitting on his throne scowling at the vermin clamoring for his attention. He really needed a new pastime. His club, Fangtasia, was a great success, financially speaking. But the constant flow of desperate and degenerate humans begging for any kind of interaction with the vampires around them was getting old. His feeling of boredom was starting to reach a dangerous level. If he didn't find a new outlet to entertain him then he would end up doing something foolish, just to break the monotony. Maybe he could pay a visit to Ms. Stackhouse and rile her up but decided he wasn't in the mood to deal with her. She was beautiful and smelled quite good, her innocence and her body were alluring but her unyielding ways of thinking made him cringe. Not to mention she was so wrapped up in Bill Compton he was sure if vampires could fart then she would know the type of blood Bill had had for his meal.
For all of Sookie's good points, her simplicity was a bit too simple for Eric. That's not to say she was stupid, he knew she was not. She just didn't try to expand her mind in any way. With technology being what it was there was no reason for her to not broaden her horizons. He also wasn't looking for anyone complicated, just someone who wasn't afraid to expand their opportunities which did not seem to be Ms. Stackhouse's way. She seemed so caught up in trying to be "normal" that it boggled his mind and that was saying something. She could be so much more than what she currently was. She has so much potential if she would just embrace her gift and whatever 'other' she was. But apparently that was not her way, which was such a shame. If she would just show an inkling that she was interested in being more, Eric would be happy to help her accomplish this but alas, she was not and he really wasn't in the mind frame to deal with her until she decided (if she ever did) to be all she could be. However, even his patience had its limits.
Maybe he should just go for a flight and let his mind clear to help figure out what needed to be done. With this thought, Eric rose from the throne and left the building, taking flight to nowhere in particular. He let his mind wander and realized, suddenly, just how long it had been since he had last seen or spoken to Godric, his beloved maker. Maybe that was part of the problem? He couldn't remember ever going this long without at least speaking to his Maker. As this thought crossed his mind, Eric checked his bond with Godric and felt how tamped down it was. Curious. Why would Godric tamp down his side of the maker-child bond? What reason would have him doing such a thing? Knowing the only way to find out would be to ask, Eric got out his phone and dialed.

Godric was sitting at his desk when he felt Eric ping the bond. It took him a bit by surprise considering how long it had been since he had felt anything other than boredom from his child. He had wondered if Eric would ever feel anything other than the extreme boredom he had for the last few years now. Feeling his child finally change emotions was a relief for Godric; he had been worried about Eric.
He had felt Eric's emotions change quickly last week and then again a few days ago but none overrode his boredom for very long. Since his child was pinging him in the bond, Godric knew it would be only a matter of time before Eric would be calling to figure out why he had tamped down on the bond, and then Godric could find out what had sparked such an array of emotions within his child.
He had been slowly closing off the bond to keep his own negative emotions from influencing Eric in any way. He often thought of his child, his proudest achievement in his long years walking the Earth. Godric couldn't explain why he had started to feel so disconnected with the world, he just had. He knew it was partly due to the monotony of being a Sheriff of a now civilized area. Not much happened anymore and that which did was generally quite mild to when he first took the post. However, this was not the sole reason for his despondency.
As he thought about Eric and things in general, Godric decided he needed to visit Eric. It had been way too long since they had been in each other's presence and it was time for this to come to an end. With this thought forefront in his mind, Godric called to Isobel to inform her he was leaving to visit Eric.

Isobel was very pleased to hear Godric would be seeing Eric very soon. She had been worried about him for a few years now and hoped a visit to his child would be what he needed to snap out of the funk he seemed to be in. She knew they shared a very special bond, even for a maker and child. She was aware as well, that it had been some time since they had been together and often wondered if this could be a cause for Godric's downward spiral. She was also aware that he had been training her to take over the area for some time now. Whether this was done consciously or not she wasn't sure but knew he had been nonetheless.
She knew she could handle whatever the area threw at her with no problems. Godric had been quite thorough with his training. She didn't know when he planned on stepping down but was sure he was going to. When he did, she hoped it was for the right reasons and not foolhardy ones. Isobel was hoping that Eric would be able to help Godric lighten back up and embrace more than just existing. She knew older vampires sometimes grew weary with modern times and all the changes they encompassed. She had hoped the work Godric had put in to help with the Great Revelation that he would be back to enjoying his unlife, but shortly after the Reveal he had seemed to slip back into his melancholy.

Hermione was running for all she was worth. The war may be over and Voldemort dead, but there were still plenty of DeathEaters loose. Unfortunately she had come across two of the worst ones, the Carrows, who were well known for their cruelty. They had no qualms pulling on all the dark magic they could to take out a perceived enemy.
It's not that Hermione wasn't a powerful witch in her own right but taking on both Carrows just wasn't on her 'Top Things to Do' list, especially since their master was no longer around to somewhat control them. They were dangerous before, now they were dangerous and unleashed, not a good combination. To her misfortune, Hermione had come across both of them hiding in the Forbidden Forest. She had gone just inside the forest to collect a few herbs and plants to brew the few potions she liked to keep on hand and now she was well inside its borders, running for her life.
Hermione leaned against a tree trying to catch her breath for a moment before they figured out where she was at. She had enough time to stow away her herbs and plants and grab her wand from inside her boot when she heard them approach. Taking a deep breath she started running again, tossing a few spells back in the Carrows' direction. She had managed, so far, to stay ahead of the siblings and dodge or repel whatever spells they sent her way but she was tiring. Suddenly, she found herself face down on the forest floor! She had tripped over a root and when she managed to get back to her feet, she could see them gaining on her. With a burst of adrenaline, Hermione jumped up and took off again.
Before she could get very far she found herself falling again but instead of hitting the forest floor as expected, she landed on a carpeted one. What in Merlin's name…?! When she looked up she saw the Carrows' faces twist into ugly masks of rage. Without a thought, Hermione yelled out two Avada Kedavra spells in quick succession with the hope that she would be quick enough to hit both while they were caught up in their rage and shock of seeing the portal. Just before the portal closed she saw that she had hit her marks and was able to feel some sense of relief. At least she managed to take them out before they could follow her through to here… wherever here was.
Hermione took a moment to look around her new surroundings. It would appear that she was in someone's office. How in Merlin's name did she get here and, more importantly, would the owner or owners of the office be friendly or…the door opened before she could finish the thought.
