Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter characters, but I do own Nick and all of the vampires, ghouls etc. etc. etc.

PS: I am so annoyed it keeps getting rid of the asterisk that I put to break the page. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Hope fully it works this time.

PPS: This is just a Batty Story.

Harry woke in the morning to Nick poking him.

"My lord, wake up! You are going to miss the train. MY LORD."

"UUUUHHHHHNNNNNNNNN, why does my head hurt so much"? Nick laughed softly. He offered a drink to Harry.

"Here drink this! It is my cure for hangovers you got really drunk!" He smiled and winked. "Taurian has packed for you. Don't worry! I am all ready to pose as a student!" Harry drank the liquid and his head cleared, it tasted vile but the effect was almost instantaneous. He sighed with relief. Nick picked out some clothes for him. Harry got up and looked at the clothes that Nick had picked out.

"Nick, I am going to school, not a night club." Nick looked at him and smiled.

"Look all the rest of the clothes that Taurian packed for you are your original clothing. I just thought maybe you would want to dress all sexy to shock everyone. I don't want to be the only one wearing leather." Harry laughed.

"Why are you wearing leather then?" Nick looked affronted by his question.

"Taurian gave me these new pants. I can't not wear them." Nick smiled, looking all dewy eyed. Harry chuckled. "Yea well whatever, at least I am not in love with one of my inferiors." Harry blushed. "It is so obvious that you love me! After that song and then when you kissed me." Harry looked at him.

"I never kissed you."

"Did to, you must have been too drunk to remember."

"Did Not! Now turn around so I can change."

"Did to. You sure you want me to turn around." He winked and turned around anyways. Harry changed into the leather pants, tight deep green spandex shirt and a leather jacket. He looked in the mirror. He looked good; really good. Nick turned back around and pulled out a tube of something and put some in his hands then rubbed it in Harry's hair before he could react. He looked in the mirror and his hair was messy but controlled messy. "Ok, let us go. Oh by the way you were right, you didn't kiss me. I wanted to see if you remembered anything from last night." Harry shook his head and rolled his eyes. Nick grabbed Harry's suitcase and went down stairs followed by a sleepy Harry. Nick and Harry stood by the car saying their good-byes. Harry gave some last minute instructions. Nick had some tears running down his face.

"Taurian, I love you. I will miss you."

"Nick, I will miss you too. Every day away from you is a year for me."

"Taurian."

"Nick." Aubrey pulled out a paper fan and hit Taurian on the head.

"Stupid! Stop it you will make us all sick." Harry smiled and shook Aubrey hand. Aubrey pulled him into a rough hug, Harry laughed. Harry then hugged everyone else and climbed into the car. Nick climbed in as well. Violetta got into the drivers seat. She would drive him and Nick to the Train station and then return. She drove quickly towards the edge of Other World. Driving on the only road, through a graveyard she then was driving through a version of privet drive that was inhabited with ghosts, zombies and other creatures of the night. It was privet drive but dead, and meant for creatures of the night. He passed a house that was called #4 privet drive. It was his house in this other dimension. He wondered what Sorrow's End looked like. If Other World was just a copy of the world for creatures of the night, than what was Sorrow's End like. Was it another copy? Or was it something completely different? Finally they arrived at Kings Cross in the Night World. Violetta parked and stepped out of the car, she vanished and than showed up. She opened the door and grabbed the suitcases. Nick grabbed onto her sleeve, Harry copied him and grabbed onto her other sleeve. Harry blinked and they were in the real King's Cross. Violetta led them quickly to Kings Cross and through the barrier not pausing for anything. She walked through and ran into a young woman with white blond hair.

"Gabrielle!"

"Gabrielle!" Gabrielle looked up, and her eyes caught the deep blue eyes of…

"Violetta!" The two vampire women smiled at each other, their reactions were instantaneous. Violetta threw the suitcases back, a young man grabbed them and Harry and ran onto the train. Violetta sprung her wrist sheath knife and Gabrielle pulled out a hidden dagger. They took their positions to fight. Gabrielle couldn't believe her luck. When she saw something jump between them. It was her swan.

"Perhaps you two should do this later? People are staring." Gabrielle and Violetta lowered their weapons slowly. Then put them away. Draco looked at Violetta, at least that was what he assumed her name was, and she was attractive. A young man jumped behind her to defend her back. He winked at Draco when he caught his eye. Draco gasped. This guy was a swan as well, he had bite marks all over his neck and wrists. He was wearing leather pants and looked really sexy, if you were into guys. Draco looked over at Gabrielle she was glaring at Violetta who was glaring back at her. Nick slowly spoke.

"Hey Violetta, Gabrielle. Break up the glaring contest! Tell you what why don't we send off Draco. Wait for the train to leave and find a place to fight and then two can fight and I will teleport on to the train. How does that sound?"

"I am going to Hogwarts with my swan."

"I am going to Hogsmead with my love to watch over my friend."

"Then it sounds like you two need to get over yourselves and make up." Nick chuckled. Gabrielle stared at Nick like he was insane, did he know who they were, their history? Obviously not. Violetta turned and looked at him, obviously she thought he was insane as well. Nick smiled. He nodded at Draco and got on the train, Draco followed and so did Gabrielle and so did Violetta.

Harry looked at the perfect young woman, she had white blond hair and was smiling at Violetta. Before he could react Violetta tossed the suitcases at him and Nick and pulled her knife out. Nick grabbed him and the suitcases and pulled them both onto the train. He ran into the closest compartment. There Harry saw Hermoine and Ron. Hermoine screamed when she saw him.

"Harry, Oh my god, you look great. How have you been? How was your summer? Who is this?" Nick nodded a quick hi and looked so grim that Harry didn't argue with his next order.

"My lord, you must stay here. I will be back to protect you. You two protect him until I get back." Nick ran outside. Hermoine looked at him, Ron stared.

"Why did he call you 'my lord'?" Ron asked quietly, it was obvious he was annoyed yet again by Harry's privilege. Harry sighed.

"Thanks, I am fine. My summer has been great. That was Nikolai Romanov, and I can't tell you why he called me 'my lord' here." Harry smiled. "How were your guy's summers?" Ron smiled.

"It was great, Hermoine came and stayed with me over the summer. I invited you too but you never answered." Harry blushed slightly. He had gotten the letter as well as a letter from Sirius telling him to stay at his Aunt and Uncle's house. Oops.. Heh heh. He looked out of the window. There was Nick, Violetta, the Young woman and Draco Malfoy. They seemed to resolve whatever was going on because they boarded the train and made their way into the compartment. Harry looked at the young woman and she returned his appraising look. Nick smiled brightly.

"Harry, This is Gabrielle. Gabrielle, this is Harry". He smiled brightly again. Hermoine smiled at him. Ron gave him an apprehensive look. Nick wasn't off put. "Hi I am Nikolai Romanov, but you can call me Nick!"

"Hi Nick, I am Hermione and this is Ron." Nick nodded, Hermoine could swear she was blushing. How on earth could he fit into pants that tight? She let her eyes wander up his body. Her eyes stopped on his neck, he had bite marks all over his neck. As if he noticed her eyes he wrapped a scarf around his neck. Hermoine blushed. Nick finally introduced everyone in the compartment. Hermoine looked at Draco, he looked healthy and happy. He wasn't sneering, this in it's self was just too strange. Gabrielle was sitting across from Violetta. Their eyes locked. Draco was sitting next to Gabrielle leaning on her; her arm was around him keeping him close. Then there was Ron, who looked so annoyed at having to sit next to Draco that even Hermoine felt kind of guilty. She motioned that they should switch seats. They did, Hermoine felt slightly guilty as she realized she hadn't done the switch for Ron. She had switched to get a better look at the other party. Violetta was sitting back, she looked relaxed but obviously wasn't. Next to her was Harry, who was wearing pants almost as tight as Violetta and Nick. He had never looked so healthy. He had a glow to his cheeks and was smiling softly to himself. Nick was sitting on the floor against Harry's legs; his legs were bent up to give Draco room. Hermoine was shocked to see that Draco and Harry were not glaring at each other. Hermoine smiled, what a weird cargo. Suddenly the door opened. Violetta jumped up as did Gabrielle. In walked Ginny and a young man. Harry whispered that Violetta could relax and she did slowly. As did Gabrielle. Nick on the other hand looked so confused.

"Stanton". The young man looked at him, and smiled. He pushed his redish blond hair out of his eyes with a tan slender hand.

"Nick". Nick jumped up and pounced on Stanton. Harry, Draco, Gabrielle, and Violetta looked shocked. Nick kissed Stanton on both cheeks. He then jumped up and looked at Ginny.

"Oh, Stanton she is pretty! Oh My Goddess! Is She? She Can't Be! HHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII". Nick squealed, Ginny looked at him like he was insane. Stanton stood up and brushed himself off.

"Yes, she is pretty, yes she is." Nick began to squeal to himself in what sounded like a mixture of French, English and Japanese.

"Mignon, Kawaii, Cute. Elle est tres mignon. Oh Oui. Stanton, est-ce que vous l'aimez?" Stanton looked at him and answered in French.

"Oui, et tu? Aimes-tu Taurian?"

"Oui. Oh pardonez-moi. Je suis desolee. Je vous presente Mademoiselle Violetta, Mademoiselle Gabrielle, Mademoiselle Hermoine Granger, Monsieur Draco Malfoy, Monsieur Ron Weasley et le roi de la nuit Harry Potter." Now Hermoine knew enough French to pick up on the fact that Harry had just been called something special. But she didn't know what the 'roi" meant.

"Oh, Je suis ravi de faire vos connaisance. Je te presente Mademoiselle Ginny Weasley. La reign de la jour." Nick smiled.

"Oh Je suis ravi de faire votre connaisance. Ma belle fille." Nick kissed Ginny on the hand; Ron glared at him. Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Care to explain what you were talking about?" Harry said bitterly.

"Oh, Yea. This is Stanton and I assume you know Ginny." Nick smiled and blew a kiss at Stanton who shook his head and then blew one at Ginny who looked confused. Violetta stared at Ginny, as did Gabrielle. Suddenly Violetta produced a paper fan. She whacked Nick with the fan.

"Baka, Gabrielle is here. You cannot just go around announcing what certain people are." Nick held his head and bit his lip. Hermoine stared at them, this was too weird. She was so confused. Gabrielle smiled and then began laughing. Everyone turned to look at her. Violetta growled with frustration. Harry sighed.

"Ok, one. Stop growling. Two. This compartment is getting crowded. Three. You will explain exactly what is going on here to Ron and Hermoine, Ginny, Draco and myself ok?" Harry looked like he expected these orders to be followed. Surprisingly they were. Gabrielle stopped laughing and Violetta stopped growling. Stanton and Ginny sat down next to Nick on the floor. Ginny sat in Stanton's lap ignoring the glares from her older brother. Nick looked sheepish as did Violetta. Gabrielle cleared her throat.

"Ok, but it will be a long, long, scary story. So sit back and relax."
