Chapter 17

Reunited in truth

Hadrian's POV

"Hade, my favourite tribrid, how are you doing?" the terror twins asked their favourite cousin (moi) "Looking forward to seeing Diagon Alley again?"

"Yep, the brooms coming out this year look wild, and rescuing your other dad's is what I am looking forward to, mostly" I said with a grin "So, in the US, do you have a girlfriend, boyfriend, both?" Fred asked "Uh, she's a witch with the inactivated werewolf gene, she's called Ava, she's fifteen, her sister is called Davina, sixteen, they are part of the French quarter coven. The Claire's, they practise ancestral magic, earth magic. Davina is a harvest girl, the only one to successfully come back from the sacrifice"

"What, her own coven tried to sacrifice her to gain more power!"

"Yep" I popped the P "That sounds rather barbaric, old chap" Fred said

"So, Davina and Ava have been adopted by Marcel, your great Uncle by marriage, also a vampire. Rebekah gushes a lot, you know, she's very well preserved for a 1000-year-old" Fred waggled his eyebrows and I laughed

"Forget it Fred, she's happily married to Marcel"

"George, I'll have you know, that I am happily gay, I fancy the pants off Blaise Zabini, a Slytherin"

"So, I fancy Draco Malfoy and Daphne Greengrass together, though I still haven't made my mind up"

"I'm heterosexual all the way, every time I see Ava, I am hard for her. I think it's my wolf-side wanting to mate"

"Your father is the same with your mother, he still sniffs her neck, it's a wolf thing" my grand-sire Klaus offered "I always felt more connected to Damon, even though I classed Stefan as my best friend in the 1920s Prohibition era. Stefan wasn't born with the wolf gene. Just the ripper gene from his mother"

"I really don't want to hear about my parents sex life, or the Stefan the ripper's violent head ripping" I said cringing. Klaus laughed and Fred joined in immediately "Hardy Har, you are both hilarious" I muttered

"Wait, are you talking about the 'ripper of Monterey' Chicago 1921 to 1932?"

"You know him?" George leaned forward

"Yeah, he's my paternal uncle, why?"

"We discussed him in History of Magic with Professor Lupin, we had no idea he was your uncle, is he still dangerous?" Fred gulped

"He's back on the bunny diet? Relax, guys, my hybrid bite is more deadly" And with that, my eyes turned amber gold and my double fangs made an appearance. The twins jumped back "Woah, Hade, cool but very scary" I chuckled with Klaus,

as I quickly morphed my face back.

"Guys, you know after this, after finding your other dads, you will be invited to come to New Orleans, to be part of the pack. And the Mikaelson's family in the Abattoir. Jackson and Hayley will be missing Elijah like, badly" Hadrian muttered

"So, it's true, they are mated?"

"For two years now, I imagine it's how your papa feels about his mates. Love is love as you two terrors have discovered" Klaus said semi-seriously

"We know" the twin terrors chorused together

Godric's Hollow

The rescue of Fabian and Gideon

Arthur's POV

"They are in there, Niklaus, I feel them, my mates" I hissed as Hadrian, broke through the complex but easy ward. "You will be with them soon enough, my child" Elijah was getting agitated "Calm yourself, Elijah, I know you miss them and your niece, but we must deal with this, first. My newly sired hybrid was close to dying, as you well know, brother"

"Uncle E, we are through, the ward just cracked!" Hadrian shouted and he zipped back to his favourite Weasley's side. "That was fast work, young man" Elijah smirked "Shall we?" he asked. Arthur and Klaus nodded "Whatever we find there, my child, control the urge. Your mates will be weak with starvation and imprisonment"

They burst into the house that Hadrian had nearly met his end in, as a toddler. Hadrian wanted to honour his adoptive parents. Dumbledore had killed them; he would avenge their deaths.

Meanwhile in New Orleans…

Hermione's POV

"Hi Hermione, how's Hade getting on in England?" Hermione was finishing her conclusion on her English Literature Essay and her American History Essay. Not her favourite subjects, her favourite subjects were Chemia (Chemistry) and home economics. Ava leaned forward with Davina "He's okay, Ava, I promise, Davina, are you two up for a family meal tonight?" Davina smiled "I would love to, are your parents okay with us being witches?"

"They are so understanding, Davina, you don't have to be nervous, when I told them that your own coven disgustingly tried to sacrifice you. They were horrified, to them, you are an innocent girl, witchcraft or not. They think the Harvest ritual is a barbaric practice, they'd worry about you more if you were hurt"

"I'll ask my mom to come with us" Ava pointed out

"Isn't your mom on a date with Vincent Griffith?" Davina asked. Ava smirked "He is so cool, and he's the regent of all nine covens"

"So, witch royalty?" I asked "Essentially" Ava chuckled "Informal, or formal dresses"

"Girls, come as you are"

"Okay, we'll see you at 6pm" Davina said grinning "You like Kol, don't you?" I asked grinning "I might do, I might not" Davina replied as she smiled too.

"See you later" They waved, and my phone buzzed. Hadrian had sent me an Email! "Here's the latest, Hermione, I miss my BFF already. That's you, the way. Give my love to Mum and Dad, and your parents, Hope, Hayley, Kol, and Jackson. Molly died of a broken neck (Klaus) after she revealed that Arthur is a werewolf and that she and the buzzing old bee imprisoned her brothers and gave compulsion potions (this includes love potions) to Arthur. George, Fred, Bill, Charlie, and Percy are all the children of Arthur, Fabian, and Gideon. Molly forced a blood adoption on the five boys. Ginny and Ron are Aberforth's and our very own former headmaster's children. They won't ever get you now, Hermione, Klaus made sure of it. Oh, and here's the best bit, guess where the Prewett twins are imprisoned. Yep, Godric's Hollow, where my adoptive parents were murdered. Love you, tons, miss you loads, give my love to Ava, all my love Hadrian xx" I hovered over the reply button and tapped the autoreply "I'm glad you are safe Hade, I miss you too, when are you coming home? Love from Hermione" I waited "Soon" Hadrian replied back and I smiled.

Hadrian's POV

Niklaus and I chose to kick in the door. Elijah zipped to the door but was not able to get past the door. "Uncle Elijah, I know who is invited in" I said with seriousness "Arthur, they are your mated ones, this is just cruel" He growled as he moved his foot inside the door. "It worked, keep that door jammed open, we don't want to be trapped inside. Hadrian, Fred, George, you come with me. Let's rescue your other fathers" We opened the door to the basement and walked down to the cellar with a torch. What they found was horrifying. Two men, in magic-suppressing shackles, were strapped to the bed with IV's dripping a sedative into their system. I was so furious for Arthur, for his mates. "Arthur, you take the needle IV's from out of their arms, and I will undo the warded shackles" Arthur proceeded to do this, but he hissed when he got some of the fluid on his skin. "What is this, Hadrian?"

"Shit, this is concentrated vervain. You are a hybrid now. Vervain is deadly to vampires. But if you drink it every-day little by little, you become immune to it. It still burns like a bitch though"

"Look, I'll lend you my latex gloves, I brought some with me" Arthur slipped his hands in the gloves, and they quickly got to work.
