Hello all and welcome back to what is probably a very anticipated chapter for some. First I must apologize for disappearing for so long, it can pretty much be summed up in one word why: Depression. By the end of the year 2016 I was severely depressed and hated my life, I even struggled waking up in the morning. It all lead to me to taking a leap of faith and packing my whole life up.

In March 2017 I said goodbye to my family and with some money and two bags I came to China to become an educator. I was in a very bad place to write, and then after that I was simply too busy to write. To those of you who aren't living under rocks where I am now has been hit by the Corona virus and I am stuck in doors. I thought let me try writing again… And it worked! I was struggling to write a new story but the words for this one just overflowed! I will be working on multiple chapters, so this is good news!

For those of you who have stayed with this story, all I can say is thank you. I appreciate it, I love you all for it and I am thankful that some people still enjoyed my work even when I was at my lowest. I hope the wait was worth it.

Warnings: Not much I believe, this is a pretty tame chapter. There isn't even bashing.

Chapter 3

Dawn

He was staring down at his new appendage when he heard his door open and close. He didn't looked up however, he didn't want to see the shame and regret in his parents eyes. He had just found them, had just come to terms that they wanted him! That by having his sweet little baby brothers they were not abandoning him! He could feel the hot tears creeping down his face, ashamed that he was crying again.

''No, sweetheart why are you crying?'' James asked as he rushed to his eldest, immediately enveloping him in a tight hug. He closed his eyes in agony when his son started to sob and beg him not send him back to the ghastly muggles. ''Now darling why would I do that? We just got you back, why would we want to send you away?'' He said as he pulled back and wiped those tears away. ''We love you Haidar, just means that we make another plan, you can't go to Merlin's School for the Gifted anymore. We have many other options though'' He smiled as his son looked up at him in wonder. Those beautiful see green eyes filled with awe and love. ''Now let's go downstairs, your brothers are looking for you''

The smile on his son's face was worth everything that he could think of, he helped Haidar out of bed and grabbed his hand as they left the smaller teen's room. He still looked at the fluffy black ears in wonder every now and then, but he supposed that his husband had an answer for what happened the previous night. Tom always had an answer, but if he didn't they would just speak to Remus. They entered the dining room and smiled when they saw Tom feeding the little one's.

''Haidar, good morning'' Tom greeted, his brothers started gurgling and making grab hands at him. The Dark Lord chuckled and moved from his seat, pulling his eldest son closer and pushing him gently into his chair. He was careful to avoid his tail, he turned and sat next to his husband, watching as their sons bonded with one another.

''Uncle!'' Romulus shouted as he ran into the room, his fathers not far behind him. They found him gawping at Haidar, his eyes on those fluffy ears and fuzzy tail. ''What the actual fuck?'' He asked as he continued to stare, he was cuffed upside the head and hissed in pain. ''Is this why we're here dad?'' He asked as Haidar blushed darkly and tried to flatten his ears with his hands, James was immediately by his side and sent a warning look to his godson. ''Sorry, I didn't mean it bad at all! Why would I, I'm a werewolf!'' He cried out.

''Sit down Romulus, please'' Remus begged as he pushed his son into a chair and sat next to him, he could see the despair in those cinnamon eyes and smiled. ''No one is angry at you sweetest, but yes this is why we are here when we should actually be shopping''

''It's okay Romulus, I understand its a shock. I'm still not used to it and it happened to me'' Haidar whispered as he looked at the older teen, smiling at him. He received a blinding smile in return and turned back to his demanding little brothers. ''Am I okay? There's nothing wrong with me is there?'' He asked,the others realized that he didn't want to look at them, too scared by their answer.

''You are perfectly fine'' Remus said as he gestured his lovers closer, Severus sat next to him but Sirius made a beeline for Haidar. He stood by his side and made silly faces at the twins, getting a smile and laughter from all three of them. Remus smiled, this was how Sirius was. He was taking care of his godson in the only way he knew how, through laughter. Severus snorted, but his eyes were fond as he stared at their excited puppy. He had been as devastated as James had been when Haidar had been taken, the two had been like brothers ever since Hogwarts and he had been with his best friend through out his entire pregnancy. He had been the first person to hold Haidar, the little boy had been their second son.

''Do you know what's going on Remus?'' Tom asked as his husband walked towards him and then sat on his lap. He smiled and kissed his neck, receiving a shiver in response.

''It's a creature inheritance, but you knew that much'' Romulus blinked large brown eyes at him and then looked at Haidar again. His mind racing a mile a minute. ''I took another look at your family tree and there was only one thing that matched what happened to Haidar'' All eyes were suddenly on him and he laughed. ''Salazar's first son, they had a a Japanese kitsune marry into the family''

''What's a Kitsune Uncle Remus?''Haidar turned his head back to his brothers, blushing fiercely but ignoring the tears that had started to cloud amber eyes.

''Kitsune's are fox demons'' He rushed forward at the gasp, and took small hands into his own. ''It does not mean you are a demon, it just means that you have been blessed with an incredible gift. Kitsune's are very popular in Japanese culture, they are tricksters with supernatural abilities, but they are also seen as wise and caring. They are messengers between the real and supernatural world. Not much is known about them here in England but I know Haidar, I know that if it is you that was chosen with this then it was Mistress Fate blessing you. No one else but a kind, beautiful and strong person would have been chosen, an you are all of those things'' He said as he looked up into those eyes, smiling when he saw the tears there. ''We trust that she has a plan for you, and if you are a creature you have a mate for life'' He looked at his mates who smiled at him. ''And that sweetheart, is worth so much'' He whispered.

Harry smiled softly and wiped the tears away, he looked at his fathers and then his godfather's. He could see the love between all three and smiled, if this was what he was to get… He could live with that.

xXx

They all looked at falcon and the letter that it had delivered, Severus was still running diagnostics on it, but Romulus was sure he knew exactly where the letter came from. His Headmaster had a falcon, and it looked like this one. He squirmed in his seat, eager to find out if his cousin was going to join him at Avalon.

''Okay, it's clean'' Severus said as he gave the letter to Tom and James, he sat next to Romulus and started to run his hands through his hair. When his blunt nails scraped his scalp he chuckled as his son went limp in his arms and growled happily. ''What does it say?'' He asked as Sirius came to snuggle close to him.

''Well I'm guessing from Romulus's reaction that he already figured out where the falcon came from. Haidar has just received an acceptance letter from Avalon, they would like him to come to the school. To look around and see how it is, to see what courses you wish to take'' Tom said as he looked at his son, that fuzzy black tail was swaying happily as he sat between his fathers. ''What do you think sweetheart, do you want to go look around? They are the leading education department in regards of creatures… The Headmaster is also an eccentric loon who has a fascination with all things strange''

Romulus chuckled at that, knowing it was true. The Headmaster was truly one of the best people he had ever met, but he was an unknown creature from unknown origin. He knew every student by name and what creature they were, but when he came across a new creature he had only heard of and never met… He would get stars in his eyes and stare. He remembered when he had looked at his father Remus, a strong Alpha werewolf with two mates, it wasn't heard of as often anymore. His father had indulged the man of course, it was common practice, one just could not say no to Phoenix Nova.

''I-I would like to go look at it, it would be nice to see. Can Romulus come with me?'' Haidar asked as he fiddled with his tail, smoothing it down worriedly.

''I have to speak to my Master anyway, so I'll come with you!'' He said happily from where he was snuggled in between his own fathers.

''Your Master?'' Haidar asked, he titled his head to the side and everyone had to contain themselves with how cute he looked. Romulus giggled, which made the teen blush fiercely.

''I am currently studying to get my Masters in Charms, my Master is the man who is helping me through the process. A true bastard by the name of Dmitri Romanoff, no one likes him but he is truly one of the best in the field'' He said as he moved away from his fathers, it was difficult but they understood. ''I will show you all the best spots to hangout and you can meet some people! I wonder what group you will be sorted into!'' He started going on and on about how happy he was that they will go to school together and all the things they could do that he missed the sheer panic on the other teen's face.

''Group, like a sorting? Like a House?'' He asked as he looked at his father's, he didn't want a place to be like Hogwarts. He loved his old school, he loved his friends but he hated the divide that separate houses caused. ''N-No, I don't want to go to a place…''

''Harry no, Avalon does not have houses like Hogwarts. They have groups, which are just for personality traits. But they have large dorms where students get to mingle, there is no dress code and students are encouraged to be friends with one another'' Tom explained as he held his son's hand, his husband grabbed the other hand and they smiled at him. ''We know that Hogwarts causes divides, its become so apparent with the new generations, that's why we never wanted you to go to Hogwarts''

''I promise you Haidar, Avalon is nothing like Hogwarts''

xXx

There was a large gaggle of children surrounding the beautiful building. Haidar remembered seeing Hogwarts for the first time, the majestic castle with its spiraling towers and old stones. But there was something about Avalon that was just… Better.

It was on a large sprawling estate, shaped in a U pattern. There were small cottages lining it as well, Romulus whispered that this was where the students stayed. There were six students to each dorm, for the students who wished to stay at school during the week but went home during the weekends. Very few students stayed all year round, and some students were allowed to leave as soon as their classes were finished. He was amazed that the school allowed such freedom, he giggled when a whispered 'wait for the parties' came from Romulus. He giggled further when both his fathers flashed knowing eyes at them.

''It's beautiful'' He said as they walked towards the building. There was a young man waving his arms at the front of the building. The next thing they knew the man was in front of him. Haidar made a noise and hid behind his father, he had no idea how that had happened, but it had terrified him.

''This must be Haidar, hello!'' He was eager, but Haidar could see that it was completely genuine. ''Oh it's been so very long since I've met a Kitsune'' He said as he looked at them, it was almost as if there were stars in his eyes. ''Welcome to Avalon, I will be your personal chaperone today. Follow me please'' He said as he moved to the side and gestured them to walk first. The missed the smile that the man gave as he stared at them.

''It's very beautiful here'' Haidar said as they entered the building and looked around. The sun filtered in through the windows and made everything feel warm, there were students walking through the hallways. He noticed that some were standing around what seemed to be metal lockers, they were pulling books out of them and speaking with their friends. ''Oh, it's all so…''

''Different? New? Strange?'' The man asked. ''Welcome to Avalon, I try to make every student feel welcome. I have made it my mission to show them that we are all welcome'' He placed his hand on Haidar's shoulder and made him feel what he was feeling. He moved his hand away as soon as the teen gasped. He looked at him with large sea green eyes and he knew that this teen was one of the few that would ever know what creature he was. ''Now Avalon hosts many classes and teachers from all over the world, we have the highest success and graduation rate out of all such schools like this'' He didn't want to call it a 'Creature School', he hated that term.

''What classes are offered?'' James asked as he saw a teen transform from a normal teen into a leprechaun. He stared at it with his mouth wide open, he had never seen that before. He saw students with green tinted skin, one producing flames from an open palm and another girl had large white wings that she was toying with.

''It all depends on the creature. Some are more adapt at Healing, while other are better for our Warrior program'' He smiled at his students, well the ones who greeted him anyway. Some of the girls giggled and waved. ''You are a Kitsune so I believe Ancient Runes, Healing, Earth and Spoken Magic will be your best bet. We don't like to give students too many classes. Six classes maximum, four classes minimum. I would say those should be your core subjects and then you can choose two extra subjects, completely by your own choice''

''What's Spoken Magic?'' Haidar asked interested, he had never heard of it before. He stepped away from his fathers and closer to the man. That was already a good sign to the older men, Haidar trusted very few people.

''Spoken Magic is specific to demons'' He touched the boy's shoulder when he gasped. ''It is to harness their powers, there are very few demons in this school. I trust them far more then I trust the Fae and Nymphs in this school. Hell, if it wasn't far Ajax I would hardly trust the Elves here as well'' He said as he looked at a group of giggling girls again. They waved at him and he sighed. ''If you want to look at it this way, Spoken Magic is also called Word Magic. It allows you to have control over your magic. Whatever you say while using Word Magic is valid, if you asked to be healed your magic will heal you. If you ask for a sword it will give you a sword. Word Magic is one of the most powerful forms of magic, only available to demons'' He said as he smiled and turned Haidar to look into a class. He saw four boys, each of them concentrating very hard, one suddenly opened his eyes and they were glowing.

''Fire''

Haidar gasped as a fire roared to life in front of him, he smirked dangerously but smiled as the others around him started to congratulate him.

''This would be your class, so far we only have these others in the class. There are only four other demons in this school, they are outnumbered greatly, but if you come here you will have friends for life'' Phoenix said as he closed the door. Haidar was suddenly fascinated and grabbed the Headmaster's hand, demanding that he show him around, the man only laughed and started to lead him around the school.

''What do you think beloved?'' Tom asked as he followed after his excited son.

''I think… Haidar will be very happy here'' James said as he turned into his husband's arms and they shared a soft kiss

xXx

Haidar was talking excitedly with his fathers over what extra classes he was going to take when he heard a familiar voice. He turned towards the sounds and gasped happily when he saw the Weasly's. The entire family was there, even Bill, Charlie and Percy.

''Ron! Ron!'' He shouted as he shot up and ran towards his friends, he jumped into his arms and hugged him. His fathers ran towards him and pulled him away from his friend. ''What, dad no! This is the Weasly's! You remember I asked you to write a letter before we left! It was to them!''

''Harry! Harry you're here!'' Ron said as he surged forward and pulled his friend away from his fathers and hugged him. ''We were waiting for you to send us another message! Why do you have ears, is that a tail… What the fuck?'' He groaned in pain though when his mother cuffed him over the ear.

''Missus and Mister Weasly, can we please talk?'' Tom asked as he gestured for the people to follow him. ''Charles, we will talk later'' He said towards the second eldest Weasly son, he only bowed his head in response. Tom stopped when someone grabbed his sleeve, he looked at his son and smiled, he reached out and caressed his cheek. ''Everything will be alright sweetheart, trust me''

''I do dad'' Was the whispered reply as his fathers disappeared inside a classroom with his own second parents. He turned around and smiled at his friends, so happy to see them. ''What are you doing here?''

''Well mom figured it was time to declare ourselves truly Neutral and she figured it was time to go check the school out that's been sending her letters since Bill's age'' He pointed back at his older brother. ''There's something I kinda never told you'' Ron said as he scratched his head and looked down at the floor. ''It's not because I didn't trust you, please believe me. It's a family secret that we were trying to hide from Dumbledore'' He whispered.

Haidar was looking at the whole family, at their friendly smiles and kind nature. His creature was telling him that he could still trust them, that they were still his friends.

''I believe you, it seems I have a lot of secret to tell you as well'' He smiled as Ron's head shot up and he looked at his friend. He smiled happily and held his hand palm up, suddenly a fire sprang from it. Haidar gasped as he saw the flames, he then saw all of the Weasly's do the same.

''We're Heliopaths, it's a type of creature that generates fire from their body. Al of us are, it skipped mom but they told us that our Uncles used to be powerful!'' He snuffed the flame out and looked at his friends, he saw couches nearby and pulled his friend towards it. ''Mom wants me, the twins and Gin to come here. We didn't really want to come, but now that you're here!'' He said happily.

''Now, now little Harrykins, what is this about disappearing…''

''And coming back as a little cutie?'' The twins asked as they stepped closer and started playing with his ears and tail. They were shocked though when he gasped and moaned, even Haidar seemed shocked and slapped a hand over his mouth. Everyone started laughing and he blushed bright red, he looked to the side as he heard another laugh and saw the most handsome man he had ever seen. His blush intensified, but for other reasons.

''Kitsune ears are very sensitive. Or so I've heard'' The man said as he walked towards him. ''Alexander Chryses Titan'' He said as he held his hand out to Haidar.

''Haidar Valerius Riddle'' He whispered as he placed his much smaller hand into the others. He gasped as it was flipped and the man pulled it towards his mouth and placed a soft kiss on his hand. ''It's a pleasure to meet you'' He said as his friends laughed as they watched him. He had never liked anyone, never looked at another man or woman in his entire life, but somehow. Somehow this man had captivated all of his attention in a single moment. Was this how Remus felt when he spoke about mates?

''Alexander!'' Phoenix shouted as he saw one of his students, he was by the student in a flash and Ron screamed. Fred and George blinked but then gasped and surged forward, the man laughed and then disappeared again. ''Sorry to bother Alexander, but I need your help with one of the students'' Phoenix said as he winked at the twins, both of them staring at him with pure wonder and awe on their faces. ''I will see this family a little later'' And then he was gone, Haidar giggled but pouted when Alexander pulled away.

''I'll see you later little one'' He said as he kissed his hand one more time and followed after his eccentric Headmaster.

''Boys, Ginny'' Molly Weasly said, all of her children jumped and she smirked at them. She moved over towards Haidar and pulled him into a hug. He immediately snuggled into it and wrapped his arms around her as well, she kissed the top of his head and he rumbled in delight. ''We will always be here for you sweetheart. I have seven sons, not six'' She said as she pulled away. His smile was blinding as she went back towards her kids. ''Time to go, we still have a lot more to see and a Headmaster to meet'' The family disappeared through a door and Haidar turned back to his fathers.

''I do'' He whispered as he went to them again. ''I trust you with my life''

xXx

He was humming happily as he looked at the cottage he would call his, there would be five other students who would be staying with him and he was actually excited about it. The house was a five bedroom cottage, each of them had their own room, and a connecting bathroom. The living room, dining room, study room and kitchen were shared though. Phoenix encouraged him to share time with his housemates, that those who spent time together were good friends and still remained in contact outside of school.

He was only looking now, but he would be back on the 1st of September, when he started his new term. He would stay during the week, and then go home to his fathers and baby brothers. He heard the opening and closing of the door, and placed his magical signature all over the door of the room he wanted. It seemed he would meet one of his roommates today.

''It's great to see you here Nev! I didn't know that you were a Mage, but it explains a lot about your Herbology skill!'' Came Ron's voice, he gasped happily and ran down the stairs. He saw two people that he knew. ''Harry! Wait… Are you in this cottage too?'' Ron asked excitedly as he walked towards his friend.

''It's Haidar, Ron'' He told his friend, who only shrugged and scratched his head. ''But yes, it seems the three of us will be housemates'' He said happily. ''It makes it easier to say that the room overlooking the school is mine''

''No fair Haidar!'' Neville whined as he pouted and raced up the stairs. He wasn't disappointed though, the room he had stopped overlooking the beautiful trees was open. He immediately unleashed his magic and earth sprang from his feet. The place was soon covered in vines. It formed a jungle in the room and Neville smiled as he looked at it. It as arranged so beautifully, even the flowers bloomed just as he wanted.

''Neville, have you been hiding that power for so long?'' Haidar asked as he stared the room, his friend turned around and his usual hazel eyes were glowing green. ''It's amazing, never hide it again. I won't allow it'' He said with a sniff as he turned to his other friend. Ron was inside another room, staring at the sunset. His face had a soft, happy look on it. His door suddenly set alight and Haidar screamed as a shape appeared over it. ''Ron!''

''This is my room'' He said softly as the marked scorched into the door. ''I just hope that the others have no problem with us marking our territory'' He said with a smirk. ''Now let's go home and eat! I'm starving''

'"Some things never change do they?''

xXx

He was sitting with his friends, his fathers standing outside and talking to his Professors. Phoenix had stated that they would need to be placed in their groups before they left. They had to be placed before the term started, which they understood completely. He was curious how this was going to happen, as Hogwarts used the sorting hat.

''Now this will be quick and very simple'' Phoenix said as he moved in front of them. His office was very different from what Haidar expected, it was filled to the brim with books. It was stacked everywhere, on the floor, towering in piles by the window, there were even towers on his desk. On the wall was a picture of a Phoenix, pitch black with ruby red eyes. ''I want you all to think of one thing, and one thing alone'' He said as he rolled up his sleeves and looked at each of them. Haidar only noticed now how handsome he was. ''Close your eyes'' He said softly, all three of them suddenly fell into a trance. ''Listen to my voice'' All three took one deep breath together as one. ''What is more important? Protection, Healing, Truth or Intelligence. Answer me in 3,2,1…''

''Protection''

''Protection''

''Healing''

All three of them opened their eyes at the same time, and looked as if they had woken up from a trance. Haidar looked at the man and for the first time he could see the magical aura around the man, he gasped when he looked at him and then at the Phoenix painting on the wall. The man winked at him before walking towards a book, he picked it up and opened it.

''Haidar Vilerius Riddle, Brave'' The book flashed and the teen looked at the man, confused why he was placed in the group much like Gryffindor. ''Ronald Billius Weasly, Brave'' It was no shock that he was placed in this group again. ''Neville Augustus Longbottom, Pure'' That was also no shock to him. ''Don't worry Haidar, all will make sense in the future'' He said as he closed the book and moved toward the door. ''But for now, I will see you all on September first'' He said as he opened the door and gestured them to leave.

''Come on Haidar, I think it has been a long day for you and your brothers are probably missing you'' Tom said as he held out his hand, he rushed to his fathers and snuggled into his side. Something strange happened however, he turned around to look. Neville was standing with his grandmother, but Ron was standing with Ginny and Percy. Phoenix was staring at Percy… The look in his eyes was of such longing, but he was the only who seemed to have noticed. His father was pulling him away but he stopped him.

''Sweetheart, are you okay?'' James asked as he looked at his son, but he couldn't even get his attention from where Haidar was looking. He let go of Tom's hand and walked towards Phoenix, he was watching as Percy was talking to his siblings. Lecturing them about punctuality and working hard, both of them seemed bored, but giggled when Fred and George appeared out of nowhere and slung their arms around their big brother.

''Oh, Brave for all of us huh? If only Perce were here, he would have been in True? Huh big brother?'' Fred asked as he placed a sloppy kiss on his brother's cheek. Haidar noticed the way Phoenix's eyes flashed. ''Harry?'' Fred asked as Haidar grabbed his Headmaster's hand and pushed everyone out of the way to make a path for the man.

''Phoenix, I would like you to meet some members of my second family, you met some of them today, but I don't think you met Percy'' Haidar said as he took Percy's hand and linked it with Phoenix's, both of them stared at him as he smiled and then ran back to his fathers. He smiled when he heard the soft introduction and the sounds the siblings made mocking and jeering noises. Haidar could only guess why.

He snuggled close to his parents and smiled softly, excited for the first time in his life about the upcoming year.
