I know who I am now

Chapter 6

Elena POV

I was tapping my pen nervously on the handle of my sun-chair and Damon stopped my hand "Baby, he's on his way, massage?" I undo my ties on my sundress and roll over on my stomach as Damon got to work on my tense back and shoulders. "Hmmm, yep right there Damon" I groaned as the tension eased. I could feel Damon's smile as I smiled. I looked up and heard the voice of a young boy "Woah, you have a swimming pool!" Tears formed in my eyes as Damon put his finger to my lips with a shake of his head and a whisper "Calm, darling" I nodded taking a deep breath.

"Yes, it is warmed in winter, young Hadrian, I want you to meet someone first." Klaus then grinned and nodded at us.

I stood up and then Damon "Hadrian" I said softly, and my throat closed then for the words wouldn't come. "Mom?" he asked, I nodded "Dad?" Damon nodded, also unable to speak. Hadrian ran towards us, and I caught him in my arms. "I pictured you both. In my dreams" he sobbed "I wanted it so badly, my real family. My very own parents to love me" Hadrian couldn't stop crying, neither could we.

Rebekah POV

"Rebekah" Niklaus whispered "Let's leave them to their reunion" I had happy tears running down my face. "Sister, dearest why don't you run a hot bath and I will get Marcellus to run up a flute of champagne."

"Why wasn't my husband here to greet us?" I groaned "He is building your new dream house in the countryside. And with the help of builders, electricians, plumbers, and Architects. He should have it finished in a few weeks."

"Okay, I expect Marcellus to be here in five minutes, he's only in Abita springs"

"And show Hadrian to his new room, he will probably think it's a mansion within the mansion" Niklaus let out a long-suffering sigh "Yes, Rebekah, now scoot!"

Niklaus POV

Our newest member of the Mikaelson family slept on as his mother watched.

She was so afraid that he would be taken again. Damon was just as fraught.

Their hearts healed from the emotional reunion they had with Hadrian, Hope had a nephew older than herself, and I decided to name her his godmother. Tomorrow would be busy when Hadrian starts his therapy. We were advised by Camille, that the damage that Dumbledore had perpetrated against Hadrian psychologically would have negative effects on his self-confidence. He had a 'saving people' thing. We had been in contact with Headmistress Minerva McGonagall since Hadrian's removal from Hogwarts.

His transcripts from school were shocking to say the least. A mountain troll and Voldemort had already killed him twice, Hadrian had to be brought back by CPR the last time. A Basilisk in his second-year bit him, a sixty-foot serpent with a deadly gaze. My old friend Fawkes the phoenix had to rescue him that time. A murderous godfather and a traitor to the Potter family nearly murdered him in his third year. Ronald Weasley tried to murder him at the Leaky cauldron by poison just out of jealousy. My grandson had many enemies just for being the Potter's adopted child.

So many enemies. We'll let it be said that I would happily bathe in his enemy's blood to keep him safe, and I would do that willingly and gladly too.

Harry POV

I know who I am now, a tribrid, a wizard, a werewolf, and a vampire. Now, how to tell Hermione and get her here for a visit. Hermione my rock, my best friend and so much like a sister. I missed Hedwig and Moony and Tonks.

For some reason I didn't miss Ron. He wasn't even a second thought to me. He had treated Hermione and I, with contempt and hatred, jealousy, and the worse of all malice. I found out he was spying on me for Dumbledore. Taking money from the trust vault as payment for "keeping me in check" was how Dumbledore had put that interesting fact. "Fucking traitor" I muttered. Just as Dad walked in and I groaned.

"Hey! You are lucky your mother didn't hear that young man" He smiled as he mussed my hair. "Who's this fudging traitor, can I kill him for you?" I grinned back "Nope, death is too good for Ronald whining Weasley, I'd rather have him wonder if I'm ever going to get my revenge on him. I want him to suffer from the paranoia and nightmares. Besides, I am sure Chaos and Mischief aka the terrible twins will help me by pranking him constantly." Dad smirked as he fiddled with my blankets.

"Where's mom" I asked as I finished a page in my Journal.

"She was on call today the community clinic, 9 to 5, oh, don't pout, your mom is a volunteer, and she is selfless to a fault, she'll be back when we get home, kiddo." We laid on my bed in comfortable silence

"Hadrian don't mention the Weasel to Grandpa Klaus, otherwise he will go on a bloodier rampage than usual. I mean 'hearts ripped out and heads on spikes' that kind of bloodier"

"I can keep secrets. I was used to suffering in silence…." Damon scowls "You will never have to suffer again in silence. You, Hadrian, my beautiful boy will never be silenced again." Damon whooshed to Hadrian's closet and found a goth jacket belonging to Klaus when he was in Chicago trying to track down the moonstone. "We are going to call our wolf pack, get those trousers on, and those hiking boots, you'll need them"

"We are going out to the bayou?"

"Yep, sure kiddo, be prepared to shout long and hard? They only respond to the wolf howl normally. Tyler's there too."

"You're best friend Tyler and Hayley, Hope's mom?" Dad nodded

Hadrian rushed to get dressed "Hey, where are you guys off too?" Rebekah asked nicely "The Bayou, want to come with us?"

"No, but shouldn't you tell Elena you are visiting the pack or tell her when you'll be back at least?" Dad pulled out his phone and tapped out the text quickly. "Predictive text is so cool" I laugh as I take Dad's phone from him.

H: Mom going to the Bayou with Dad love you lots xxx

E: Okay Honey, just take care and tell your dad to get a Barbeque started when he gets back, I am talking ribs and burgers love you too xxx Jeez I am hungry and it's not even 1pm love you Hades xxx

"And it's sent. Normally my magic is non-compatible with cellphones"

"Okay, well, get going, little scamp" Rebekah ushered us from the room, and we were on our way "Dad, you have a Camaro?" My mouth dropped open when I saw my dad's car. "Hop in kiddo, time's a wasting"

I didn't have any more words as I jumped in and clipped the seatbelt.
