CHAPTER 3 – THE PRINCE AND HEIR

'So Harry, what you wanna do first?' Lucius asked.

'Hmmm… Dunno… Maybe you could just show me around? Like where's the bathroom or where's the dinning room?' Harry shrugged.

'Yeah… that could work out,' Snape said.

'Ok…for starters Harry, call us by our first names. Bell or Bella for me,' Bell said, 'Luc and Sev for both ok?'

'Er… Ok…'

'So… lets start from the top floor,' Luc snapped his fingers and they appeared alongside a corridor.

'This is your room… wait… suite Harry, suite,'Luc quickly corrected.

'Wow! I've never seen anything like this!' Harry exclaimed as he entered his suite.

His suite was filled with red and green wallpapers, a king-sized bed, a huge table, a kitchen and a bathroom.

'And where does father live?' Harry enquired.

'Well, master lives in his own suite a few rooms beside you. This whole floor is off limits to all death eaters except us,' Severus proudly announced.

'Yup and these rooms are to be used for your own leisure. They are like the room of requirements. We, on the other hand sleep on the 4th floor, just below your floors. These 2 floors are off limits to any death eater as it is private but it doesn't matter to you,' Bella laughed. Just then, a small elf came in to the room.

He bowed before speaking, 'My Prince… Ma- Master wa-wan-wants My Prince to gets ready for dinner…'

'Well, we best get ready then Harry,' Luc laid his hand on the Dark Prince.

They went back to Harry's room and left him to get ready.

'Hmmm… What should I wear?' Harry wondered as he walked into his closet. His thoughts were broke when he heard a knock on the door.

'Come in'.

'Oh… Father… Sorry… I didn't know…' Harry apologized.

It's ok, my boy. I specially brought these dresses for you to try on. I want you to look your best. Today will be the day I announce your arrival,' Tom handed him the robes to put on, 'Also, I have a special surprise for you.' Harry's eyes lit.

'Are all of your death eaters gonna be there, Father?'

Tom let out a small laugh, 'They will be yours to command after tonight, Harry.'

'Thanks Father!'

'Alright, now go get ready. I'll see you soon. Luc, Sev and Bell will escort you.'

Harry nodded and went to change. He put on the maroon coloured, with green lining robe. He spent a few minutes styling his hair. Finally, the door opened to reveal Harry.

'My Harry! You look really good!' Luc exclaimed.

'Thanks Luc! Shall we go?'

Bell nodded and they proceed to the Great Hall of the Manor.

As if on cue, the doors opened and Harry walked down the aisle. He greeted his Father and sat on his right.

'As you all know, Harry Potter is here in this manor. I am proud to announce that he is my son. It may come as a shock to some or most of you but I can assure you that this is no illusion. You will refer to him as Prince and respect him as much as you respect me. No one is to defy his orders.'

Immediately, cheers were erupted form the crowd of death eaters.

'Hail Harry, Prince of Darkness!' They stood up and raised their glasses.

Tom raised his hand and there was silence.

'Bring out his surprise Sev.'

'Yes My Lord.'

Harry could feel excitement and anticipation as they brought out his surprise. Then, Sev, Luc and Bell were each leading a prisoner out to the front of Harry.

It was the Dursleys.

'They tortured you Harry. It's time for revenge.' Tom handed him his wand.

He stared hard at them. All those pain they have caused him, physically and emotionally…

Harry stretched out his hand and held the thin stick. He felt his power rising steadily. He pointed it at them. The death eaters were looking with anticipation of the curse. They were excited but impatient, however, they knew that this was his first torture so they did not rush him.

His lips curled and he spoke those words the Dursleys have been fearing the most.

The spell erupted from his wand and rushed to all three of them. They screamed in pain, never have they felt this kind of pain before, even when Tom casted it on them.

Harry held on for a few seconds before letting go. He breathe deeply, unaware of what he had just performed.

'Harry, are you aware of what you have just done?'

'I'm sorry father… I didn't mean to…'

No Harry… Don't be sorry! You just cast a Crucio on all three of them… I expected you to chose either one but it proves that you are capable of great things.'

'Thanks father…'

The death eaters were in awed. However, to keep the spirit alive, Luc, Bell and Sev cheered for Harry, resulting in all the death eaters cheering for him.

Harry took this sign as an encouragement. He raised his wand again and muttered the death curse. They watch the green light as it hit the Dursleys all together.

They fell on the floor, lifeless.

Harry's first kill marks for a complete turn in his character. Tom smiled widely. The death eaters cheered wildly as a few cleared the bodies.

That night, Harry had the fun of his life. He was dancing and singing madly, mingling around with the death eaters.

After the party, Tom gathered his son, and his 3 trusted death eaters.

'Take a seat, this is going to be a very long night,' Tom said as they gathered in his office.

'Father, may I ask what is this about?'

'Harry, I'm going to tell you your heritage and our plans for the future. But we'll start with your mother first. You are going to know of everything tonight.'

Harry nodded.

'I expect that old fool Dumbledore to tell you that your mother was a muggle born and your Father from a very old pureblood family. Your mother, actually, is not muggle born. She's an elf. Do you remember those stories read to you when you were a baby, about elves?' Tom paused, waiting for Harry's answer.

'Yes… I do'

'Your mother, was beautiful. She got her beauty from being an elf. Her father was the ruler of the Elven Kingdom. However, she went against him by loving me. At that time I was just Tom. Elves are not dark nor light creatures, know this Harry. They fight for what they or their ruler believe in, be it not light or dark. Elves too, cannot fall in love with a human for they will lose they immortality. They have the power to change their physical features. That is why, Harry, that you are a half elf.'

Harry swallowed hard, and asked, 'Is my mother's… I mean, my grandfather still alive?'

'No… Being the only child of the ruler, the death of your mother caused his death. The elves did not know who to turn to for help when their King passed away, so they were split into groups. Not much is known about them now, though I doubt they exist.'

'What?'

'I'm saying that you are the last remaining elf.'

'Ok…'

'Now… this part is going to be very complicating Harry. But I'm going to tell you that you are also a half vampire.'

Hearing that, Harry immediately stood up, 'What!'

'Are you serious father?'

Yes… I am, Harry. Apparently the Potter family consist of several vampires, though they seem to be dangerous, they also are very much like the elves. Actually, the elves and vampires are both immortal. They are like brothers and sisters but two different groups. They get along well as both fight for what they believe in. Sadly, the vampires were killed in a period of time. They were hunted and killed, so again, you are the last one.' Tom ended with a smile.

'Ok… but why don't I have extra teeth or whatever that elves and vampires are suppose to have? Not that I want to have anything extra growing out of my body but… you know…'

Luc, Bella and Sev laughed, seeing poor Harry trying to get his facts right.

Tom glared at them, causing them to stop immediately.

'Ok… first things first. Since both elves and vampires are immortal. It means that you are immortal…'

'That's quite obvious father,' Harry commented.

Tom scowled, 'If I'm not mistaken, your teeth will be growing on your 16 birthday, which marks for adulthood for both elf and vampires. So will all the physical features of both heritage.'

'But my birthday's next month. It's only 1 month away!' Harry spluttered.

'Yes… that will also be the day where the death eaters will be sworn in for their loyalty to you. Until then, you will be trained in bow and arrow, the elves greatest weapon, sword fighting, wandless magic, and different magics.'

Harry smiled, 'Cool…'

'Master… If I may say so, the death eaters cannot know of Harry being an elf and vampire. Also, if he were to return to Hogwarts, what will he do?' Severus asked.

'Yes… you are right Sev…'

But Father…. You said that the teeth will only grow, not to stay there. I remember reading an article on vampires that when they smell blood, their teeth will grow, or when they need to use it. On the other hand, Elves can change their appearances, so I can conceal my ears right?'

'Yes… You are smart Harry. You will be great.'

'No father… you are great. I'm following your footsteps,' Harry replied humbly.

'What about Hogwarts?' Bella pursued.

'Well, Draco can watch for him,' Lucius suggested.

'Yes… Draco… he's good… Bring him tomorrow and he shall be marked.' Tom nodded slowly.

'Wait… father… If I may ask, why is he to be marked? Dumbledore will know. I suggest that we leave him unmarked and use him as a spy like Sev for us in the Order,' Harry realized that he just let out the Order's name.

As if reading Harry's mind, Severus said, 'It's ok Harry, he knows about it ages ago. Why do you think attacks were usually made against them?'

'Oh… yeah… yeah that's true… So let me get this straight. Draco will be working for the order, helping us, and also looking out for me. I think we missed the part where Dumbledore is gonna ask me about you!' Harry said in despair, throwing his hands up in the air.

'Calm down Harry… That's what we are here for…' Bella said.

'Yes Harry. I know I sound like that old fool asking you this but you must remain calm and use Occulmency and Legilimency, which you will be learning from Sev.'

Harry nodded reluctantly, not wanting to defy his father.

Tom, however, sensed something troubling his son. He decided to have a father and son talk.

'Leave us,' he told the three death eaters.

They bowed deeply before taking their leave.

'You know Harry… I could have sworn lessons on Occulmency with Snape didn't go well last term…'

'Yeah… well… he must have told you everything then,' Harry replied coldly.

'No… no… I saw it for myself,' Harry looked up to his father, giving him a curious look, 'it's like a connection Harry… because of your scar and you being my son. I suppose first impressions do always last forever.'

Harry quietly nod.

'Hmmm… I tell you what…I'll take you in both then, Occulmency and Legilimency.'

Harry immediately brightened up, 'Really? You would do this for me?'

'Of course! I'm not the fool Dumbledore you know…Harry… I want to train you in another form of magic,' Tom said.

'What is that?' Harry asked.

'Long ago, there were the Jedis. They were sworn to fight for good, however the Ministry saw them as harmful humans. They were banished and most of the Jedis were hunted and killed. When Dumbledore fought the Dark Lord at his time, they were fighting with lightsabers.'

'What are lightsabers?'

'They produce a glow and acts like a sword. It is the most powerful weapon a Jedi wields and it can cut through anything.'

'So you're saying that Dumbledore is a Jedi? But I thought they were banished?'

'Yes… he is and they were. However, when he killed the Dark Lord, he convinced the Ministry that the Jedis were good. The Ministry, then, believed him and he condemned his Jedi enemies by convincing the Ministry that they are evil. Therefore, Dumbledore received permission to train students in Hogwarts the ways of the Jedis.'

'I'm the last remaining Jedi that is against Dumbledore. Calling myself a Jedi is an insult to me, so I picked a new name. We are called the Siths. That is why, Harry, I want to train you in the ways of the Sith.'

'So you mean that Dumbledore could have trained me but didn't?'

'Yes Harry Jedis and Siths are able to sense the Force in every other being. The greater the Force, the stronger the person will become once trained. The Force part of the training. It is like a guide for us.'

Harry nodded, 'So that means that the Order are all Jedis?'

'Not only the Order, my death eaters as well. However, Dumbledore has been training students in their first year at Hogwarts, the ways of the Jedi ever since you disappeared.'

'I want to become a Sith Father,' Harry said determinedly.
