HARRY POTTER AND THE DEMON'S AWAKENING

Disclaimer: Well you know the standard things apply. I don't own anything that is not one of my original creations, so don't sue because I have no money.

Harry's summer had been uneventful. The only thing that kept him sane was his running and the pain of cutting himself. Harry would use the knife Sirius gave him to slash his body where ever he felt the most pain, but for unknown reasons his cuts would always heal themselves, leaving only small scars behind. Then, while the adrenaline was coursing through his body, he would do his running. His running was annoying to most of the Advanced Guard members that had to follow him. Harry knew it bothered them and he knew they were there. Dumbledore always seemed to have him followed because it was, "for his own good," but he didn't care. It had been like that ever since he had gotten back to Privet Drive.

"Well ten minutes and you'll turn sixteen Harry, how does it feel?" Harry asked himself as he gazed out at the stars, waiting and hoping for something better. Wishing on every falling star that he had the power to stop his friends from being killed and the ability to finally defeat Tom. Harry let out a sigh and sat down on his bed and laid back. He had fallen asleep and only seconds later, or so it seemed, there was a loud hooting sound coming from his room. He groaned and sat up and saw that there were owls all over everything. Fawkes was there too, along with a strange 'bird' he had never scene before. Harry smiled to himself as he took the packages from the owls and set them down. He skipped over Fawkes and the other 'bird' and sat on the floor with a big blue package. He looked at the card and smiled at his name, he could tell it was from Hermione.

Harry opened the package carefully and set the wrapper aside. A book, that's just like her. Harry opened it and inside was a familiar eagle feather quill with a note attached to it. Harry carefully picked up the quill and read the note.

Dear Harry,

I hope your summer is going well with everything that's going on. I want you to know I'm here for you whenever you need to talk or if you just need a friend. But for those times your words just won't come out, write them down in this and it will help. My journal has helped me a lot and this quill has seen it all. I hope you use it well. This journal will only let the people whose names you write down, under "Users", will be able to read it.

Love Always

Hermione

Harry ran the quill under his nose and sniffed it, he could smell Hermione's perfume on it. Harry looked at the inside cover and saw the word User. Harry wrote his name first and Hermione's under that, he then put the quill back in its spot and closed the book. He put it on his night table and pulled the packages he knew as those of the Weasleys closer. He started to tear open the packages. Ron had given him a complete season one set of Wizarding trading cards. Fred and George sent him a batch of their newest 'goodies' from the WWW. Mrs. Weasley sent him a batch of her fudge along with a birthday cake with a flying snitch on it. Harry then picked up a strange pink package with a frilly bow on it. Wow some thing from Ginny, this is a new one. She's never sent me any thing before.

Dear Harry,

Happy Birthday Harry! I figured that since I haven't gotten you anything in the past I have to make up for it. So since I'm working for Fred and George now, I got you something good. Well, I got the idea after talking to Bill and he said they were all the rage in Romania. I hope you like it and that your summer is going well. Mine's going good 'cause I've been talking to Hermione a lot about 'things'. Guess who Ron has been getting letters from. LUNA! Isn't that great? Well, write me. Okay?

Your Friend,

Ginny

Wow, Ron and Luna. I never saw that coming. He started to laugh as he remembered all the tell tale tell signs of her affection towards Ron. Now what's Ginny's gift? He opened the pink package and out fell a jacket that looked oddly familiar.

"Holy shit! It's a dragon hide jacket!" Harry looked it over and a note fell out of the pocket.

Hey Harry,

Ginny wrote me a while ago and said that she wanted to get you something. We owled for a while and I told her I was getting you a new jacket made of the finest Hungarian Horntail leather and scale. So, it's a sweet jacket right? I have one just like it along with some other bad ass gear. Ginny decided to get you the matching bad ass gear. Just pull them out of the pockets. Hope you like it. And if you ever come to visit, you'll drive the Romanian witches wild. I know I do.

Bill

Harry sat the jacket aside and looked at the other gifts he had left. Oddly enough he only had Fawkes and the other creatures presents left. Harry took the letter from Fawkes and started to read it. Blah, blah, blah, no duh you should have told me more. No fuck I could have handled it. Good, at least you're coming to get me tomorrow. Good thing I get to see every one again. He crumpled the note up and gave it back to Fawkes, who exploded in a soundless fireball and was gone. Now for this strange black owl. Harry stood up and took the envelope. It was black and water stained, with a deep blood red seal of runes. I wonder who sent this, it looks old. Harry opened the seal and pulled out a letter and started to read.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH REACH INTO THE ENVELOPE AND PULL IT OUT.

I wonder who sent this, it doesn't have a name. Harry looked back at the bird but it disappeared in a puff of smoke and was gone. I don't know who sent It, but it's worth a shot. I have to know the truth.

Harry picked up the envelope and felt it. He tipped it upside down and a round shooter sized marble fell out, it was smoky black with a flaming center, he reach down and picked it up. As soon as he touched it his body exploded in a black fire and he was gone from his room. Harry blinked and when his eyes were open he was in what looked like a bedroom, a very familiar bedroom. Harry saw two figures arguing, they didn't seem to notice him.

A red haired woman in what appeared like silver armored breast plate and plated roman skirt spoke while flexing her golden wings. Holy crap, who are those two?

"Asmodeus, listen to me. I know you care for him, but he isn't old enough. He still has two more years before he can know." the woman moved her sword around her belt and sat on the bed. The man with dark hair and glasses was pacing back and forth then sat in a chair beside her and continued.

"I will tell him, but I just wanted to tell you first. You're his mother and my wife, Lillandra and you have a right to know that Harry will learn the truth." Asmodeus sat there and looked at his wife. He could tell Lillandra was not happy.

"What would you tell him Asmodeus? 'Hi Harry, how's your life been? Sorry we left you with my sister but demonic and angelic laws say that once you die in human form you have to wait twenty years until we can retake it.' And why do you hide behind your human form? James died that night along with my Lily. Harry only survived because of his own Angelic/Demonic powers. Asmodeus, what can telling him do for him? If he learned you would have to train him here." Lillandra said as she stood up, flexed her wings and pointed around. Having made her point she sat down and folded her wings once more.

"Your right Lillandra, but what kind of father am I for ha son who has lived his life as a human?" James stood up and closed his eyes, his body was rapped in fire and Asmodeus stood in his true form. He appeared as a 9 foot minotaur. His skin was a rich copper color and his black hair was now down to the small of his back. Had a huge set of horns growing from the sides of his stretched bull like face. He had a second pair of horns growing from above his eyes that went to the back of his head and up and out away from his other pair. He opened his eyes and the redness shone bloodlike. He flexed his chest and arms and stood over Lillandra.

"Asmodeus, do you see now why we can't tell him? I believe it would help me greatly, but the laws are in place for a reason. Unless he found out the truth by himself, then we are bound." Lillandra stood up rising face to face to Asmodeus. She rapped her arms around him in warm embrace that he too returned. He pulled back and kissed her then sat her down.

"But Harry knows the truth already, my love. You said we could not tell him, but what if it was overheard? Then it is not breaking the law." The demonic bull like face smiled and then he started to laugh.

"Oh... he's here!" Lillandra started looking from left to right to see if she could see Harry. Wow, this is...oh god, I don't know if I can handle this, they could have saved me! No wait, no they were talking about some kind of Demonic and Angelic laws. Wait, cool, I'm half demon half angel. Bad ass.

Harry was deep in thought as he noticed he was now visible. The spell Asmodeus put on him had faded. Lillandra's eyes began to tear up as she stopped and stared straight at him. She slowly walked over to Harry who was still deep in thought. She fell to her knees and threw her arms around him and her wing folded around them as well.

"Wha..." Harry was snapped out of his daze by this and looked up into the bright emerald green eyes of his mother. Harry responded and returned the hug. Asmodeus looked on as they both sat before him crying. Asmodeus put his hand on Lillandra's shoulder for comfort and she stood up holding Harry. She kissed him on the cheek and let go to wipe her eyes, Harry did the same. Then his green eyes met those blood red eyes of his father. Harry took a step back trying not to seem scared of who he knew to be his father. His large, toned right hand came down and stopped Harry from backing up further.

"Do not be afraid my son. This is how I truly am, but if you are more at ease seeing James then I will become him." Asmodeus stood there for a moment waiting for his son to respond.

"That's alright father, I may be scared of how you appear, but I am not scared of you." Harry was starting to tear up again as his hugged his father's waist. He could feel his father patting his back in support. Harry stayed there for what seemed like ages before he stepped back.

" There is one thing I want to know, father." Harry walked over to the bed and sat down along with his mother. His father sat back in his giant chair.

"Ask son, but I might not be allowed to answer. 'He who has fallen from the light', Lucifer, may be my brother, but he still makes the laws and I still have to follow them." He said looking at Harry. Cool, Lucifer is my uncle.

"Father, how does the Duke of Hell end up marrying an Ophanim?"

"Oh, that's a simple question Harry. Your father and I decide to take human forms and live as humans for a while. Both his demonic aura and my angelic aura were kept hidden because of who and what we are. But once we were married we came clean. It was easy to think how wrong it might be seen by the others, though we are not the first couple like this. Although, I am the fist Angel to be Duchess of Hell, it's kind of weird don't you think? An Arch Angel with more pull in Hell then she has in heaven?" As she said that Harry started to laugh at the thought of his mother ruling Hell.

"Okay... so mother you live here with father and rule over hell?" He asked after composing himself again. Lillandra shook her head no.

"Not really, no. I live here only when we are not fighting in the Holy War. I have only lived here for 15 years... Asmodeus, could you explain it to him?"

"Son, Heaven and Hell are always at war. The demons try to return to Heaven and the Angels repel us back down. That will continue until Armageddon and Earth is made to face the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. He is the demon of the Doomsday. He will let the horsemen out when 1/3 of the world's population is killed. Until then, we will fight each other, but when we died as humans God allowed her to live here since a truce has been called to stop a rouge demon who has been trying to release Apocalypse early. This is why I sent you that letter. The demon is Voldemort, the serpent of Chaos." He finished speaking as he could see Harry begin to shake in anger.

"That's why we can't win! He's a demon. No wonder we keep losing to him, but that's why I can defeat him." Harry stood up and looked at his parents.

"What do you mean Harry?" Lillandra looked at him with worry on her face.

"A Seer in the wizard world received a prophecy about Voldemort and myself." Asmodeus stood up and grabbed Harry by the shoulders.

"What did it say? A prophecy can only be given to a Seer by a High Angel of Fate. Tell us, Harry." Asmodeus let go and sat back down to compose himself.

"Well to sum it up Voldemort is the only one who can kill me and I'm the only one who can kill him. I also have a power he doesn't know about. I know what that power is, it's my demonic heritage. He doesn't know about it, but what I really want to know is: How do I 'release the beast'?" Harry said as he stood up.

"And can I see other Demonic auras if I learn how to use my Demonic and Angelic powers? And one more thing I have to ask." He looked at them both and sat back down beside his mother.

"You were both in the Order. The Order watches me, but is there a demon or angel in their human form watching me?" Asmodeus cursed under his breath.

"Umm... You know I can't tell you, but if there was a person watching you. And I'm not saying there is, but if there is, you'll be able to tell next time you see them. And don't worry, they already know who and what you are. They can tap into their power at any time too, it's just that they can only do it in life or death situations. Harry, I want you to stay here for as long as it takes for you to learn. Since time is different here, I can send you back to the time you left. What do you say, feel like releasing the beast?" Asmodeus stood up and cracked his knuckles. Harry got up and did the same. His mother laughed and flexed her wings and looked them over.

"Harry you are no longer Harry Potter. Harry Potter is your Human form. Here you are Zen-Aku. Zenaku is a Japanese term that fits you well. Zen-Aku means, 'the good and evil'."
