"Talk"

'Thought'

Chapter 5

Harry was excited. Once he got up he was wide awake, ready to leave to explore New Orleans with his father. He wanted to leave right away, but his father insisted that he at least get dressed and have breakfast first. Elijah made them eggs and bacon with a glass of blood for breakfast. Harry couldn't control his body as he jumped in his seat the entire time throughout breakfast, which amused his father to no end. It didn't take him long to finish breakfast, even though his father told him to slow down repeatedly.

Once finished Elijah visited with Klaus to check on the status of the city before leaving. "All is good, enjoy your day together" Klaus said cheerily… almost too cheerily. Harry could see a longing in his uncle's eyes when he stared at them, but couldn't figure out why he was looking at them like that. Hayley was off in the bayou once again since she had nothing better to do. "Remember to stay by my side the entire time, if something catches your eye say so and I shall walk you over there" Elijah said.

Today they would also be going clothes shopping for better clothes. "We arrived in New Orleans in 1713 when it was but a simple French Colony, we had sailed all the way from Europe to escape our father who was hunting us for as long as we had been vampires" Elijah began. Harry listened to his father resolutely, who was enjoying the attention bestowed on him by his son. Elijah pointed out old buildings that he had seen built or helped build, and places that use to house buildings from when they use to live there. "We arrived here with no home, but we soon came across the lead settlers home who would soon become the governor of New Orleans, who also happened to know what we were" Elijah said.

"And he didn't gather the townsfolk to run you out of town" Harry asked in surprise. Elijah gained an amused smile. "Oh he wanted to at first… at least until we offered him something most humans can't refuse" Elijah said wistfully. "What was it" Harry inquired. "Do you remember what I told you when we were driving through New Orleans" Elijah inquired, testing his son's intelligence and memory.

Harry was quiet for a few minutes as he thought it over when it suddenly clicked in his brain. "You bribed him, didn't you" Harry said. Elijah nodded in the affirmative. "When you live for as long as I do you learn how to read people, especially humans, and can get what you need or want by using their weaknesses against them" Elijah said knowingly. Harry was slightly uneasy by his father's nonchalance towards using people, but didn't say anything.

"As time passed we bribed every governor to let us stay in their home and to keep the existence of vampires a secret" Elijah said. "So how did you guys get the abattoir, it has the Mikaelson crest on it so I know you had it built for you to live in" Harry said. "Indeed we did, but we don't just build homes in every place we settle, we wait a hundred years or so before we decide if we wish to build a home where we have settled, which has only happened in five places counting here" Elijah said.

Harry nodded in understanding, so his father continued the story. "We spent 300 years here as you know" Elijah said. "I remember you saying that you were ran out of New Orleans in the year 1919 by Mikael" Harry said. "Correct, we were a true family here, the happiest we had ever been in our thousand years of life" Elijah said fondly. "What about when you were human, what was life like for you guys back then" Harry asked curiously

"Life long ago was definitely not a walk in the park as some would say, it was harsh and one was mostly focused on surviving day to day" Elijah said. Elijah led Harry over to a bench and sat down next to his son, staring off into space. "Our parents were originally from Europe, but had fled to the New World after the death of their first born from a plague, not wanting to lose anymore children, so I was one of the first of the Mikaelson's to be born in what is now called Mystic Falls, Virginia" Elijah said. "I've heard about that place, it's said that it is a magical place and was once home to many werewolves" Harry said. "It was when I was human, but not anymore" Elijah said.

"Is it still magical" Harry inquired. "Oh yes, attracting the supernatural like a beacon" Elijah said in a stage whisper. Harry leaned into his father slightly, shocking the older man. The shock wore off, turning into love and adoration for his son. "Growing up I was close to my siblings, except for Finn who preferred to be with our mother most of the time, and life was pleasant and full of joy" Elijah said.

Elijah spared his son a glance before returning to the story. "I shall spare you the details of what made us become vampires, all you need to know is that the one you were named after was the reason why, his death being the catalyst for our transformation" Elijah said. "You mean Uncle Henrik" Harry said. "Yes, our parents were never the same after the loss of another child" Elijah said softly. Elijah wrapped an arm around his son, pulling him into a side hug.

"Afterwards we made a vow as a family to never betray one another and to be together… Always and Forever" Elijah said. Elijah pressed a kiss to his son's hair. "And now I shall make the same promise to you, protecting you and staying by your side always and forever" Elijah swore. Elijah released Harry after his words. "Why don't we continue the tour" Elijah suggested. Harry nodded in happiness, wanting to know more about his father's past.

Elijah showed his son all of the French Quarter, except for the Lafayette Cemetery since the witches seeing them would not be a good idea. Once they were finished they stopped for lunch, which was at a japanese restaurant called Sekisui. Harry was reluctant to try japanese food, but his father said it was more delicious than it looked. They were seated at the sushi bar since barely anybody was there at the moment. Elijah ordered soda for them both, along with some sushi.

Harry was surprised to find that he loved sushi even more than pizza. "I'm guessing you like it" Elijah said. Harry nodded since his mouth was full. The meal was amazing and calming. Elijah paid for the food once they were finished. "Now time to go clothes shopping" Elijah said as they walked down a street. Elijah led them into a store.

"Grab whatever you wish" Elijah said. Harry was shocked to hear his father's words, but did just that. He grabbed a few shirts and pants, satisfied. When Elijah saw his tiny pile he sighed and started to pick out more clothes. Once he was finished both of their arms were full of clothes. "You don't have to buy me all of this" Harry said quickly. "I wish too" Elijah said.

"I don't need this much though" Harry insisted. Elijah gave his son a stern look, which made him quiet down. "I will hear no more on the matter, I have more than enough money that is going to waste, what better way to use it than on my child" Elijah said, his tone brooking no argument. "Yes sir" Harry said. Elijah pulled out his platinum card and paid for the clothes.

"I must get you a bank account and debit card" Elijah said thoughtfully. "I don't need my own bank account" Harry said. "What if I am not around when you need or want something" Elijah said. Their next stop was the bank so Harry could get his own bank account. It didn't take long for Elijah to transfer one of his bank accounts over to his son, especially since he had so many. Harry was shocked to see that he so much money, even more than that was in the Potter vault.

"Five billion dollars" Harry whispered when he was handed his platinum debit card. "And that is just this account, it barely makes a dent in my savings" Elijah said nonchalantly. Harry stared up at his father with wide eyes. "So this is all now mine" Harry asked, wanting to be sure. "Yes, but I shall be checking on your account for the next hundred years or so to make sure you don't spend it all at once, not that it would make a difference, I would just put in more money" Elijah said.

Harry felt like he was going to faint from the shock of all that was happening. Harry put the card away in his pocket. "I believe we should head home now" Elijah said. Harry didn't argue with his father. What they didn't know was that someone would appear that day.

(Many hours later)

Harry was in the courtyard, enjoying the sunshine. His family was scattered throughout the compound, even Hayley. He was currently reading a book from his father's library when he heard a crack. Lifting his head he couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, with two companions, Professor Snape and Professor Mcgonagall. They were at the entrance to the Abattoir when they spotted. "Thank goodness Harry, are you alright my boy" Dumbledore asked with concern, making his way inside.

Snape followed him, while Mcgonagall stayed a good few feet away, as if she knew who was in the compound. Before the two could reach him Elijah appeared in front of Harry, an icy glare in place. Elijah had heard the crack and knew what it was immediately, so he rushed outside to protect his son. Dumbledore stopped in his tracks, which forced Snape to as well. "I'm fine sir" Harry said. "Don't speak to them Henrik" Elijah reprimanded.

"Henrik, his name is Harry Potter" Professor Snape said with his trademark pinched look on his face. "His name is Henrik James Mikaelson, my and Lily Evans son" Elijah said coldly. Klaus and Hayley joined them at that moment, both on guard. "I believe you are mistaken -" Dumbledore began, but was interrupted by Mcgonagall. "I don't think so Headmaster" Professor Mcgonagall said, finally coming forward.

Elijah offered Mcgonagall a kind smile, one of friendship. "Minerva, it is wonderful to see you once again" Elijah greeted. "Same here Elijah, last time I saw you you were kissing young Lily Evans in a corner of Hogwarts" Mcgonagall said sternly. "I should have known it was you watching us, that cat was too suspicious" Elijah said. If it was possible Snape's face became even more pinched. "Last I checked vampires can't procreate" Snape snapped.

"I'm a special kind of vampire" Elijah said smugly, shrugging. "I don't mean to be rude, but why are you claiming that here is your son" Mcgonagall inquired. "Because he is, magic proves it" Elijah said simply. "I will believe no such thing until I have performed a test myself" Snape scowled. "We don't need your opinion on the matter you pompous dick" Hayley snapped.

Harry was surprised that Hayley of all people was defending him. "Will everyone please calm down, it would not be wise to let this escalate" Dumbledore said. "I don't know about that, it's been a while since I've had a good blood letting" Klaus said, a maniacal smirk on his face. Elijah held his hand up, stopping Klaus in his thoughts. "No, we shall discuss this like adults" Elijah insisted. "He is right, you will behave yourself Severus" Mcgonagall said in her serious tone.

Snape backed off at her words, albeit reluctantly. Everyone sat down at the table in the courtyard. Klaus, Hayley, Elijah, and Harry on one side with the wizards on the other. "Why are you claiming Potter as yours" Snape demanded. "I do not have to explain myself to a lowly teacher" Elijah sneered. "I can see where Potter gets his arrogance, strutting about like he deserves to have everything handed to him on a silver platter" Snape growled.

"Well he is a Mikaelson, so of course he deserves it" Klaus said. "My father doesn't strut and nor do I" Harry said coldly. Elijah knew that the relationship between Snape and his son was bad, but not like this. Harry was a kind and caring child, much like him at that age, but when he talked to Snape he reverted to harshness that came with being a Mikaelson. "Show some respect Potter" Snape snarled.

"I don't like how you refer to my son, I suggest you think before you speak next, especially towards a MIKAELSON" Elijah warned, a step away from tearing out the man's throat. "Let us all calm down" Mcgonagall said sternly. 'She reminds me of Elijah, except kind've scary' Klaus thought. "You must understand when Harry went missing we all became worried, fearing the worst had happened" Dumbledore said.

"He's been here with me, so he is perfectly safe and happy, unlike with those people you placed him with" Elijah said coldly. "In hindsight it wasn't best to have placed Harry with his relatives, but we had no choice at the time with Lord Voldemort just being defeated, not once did I think that they would hurt Harry in the way they did" Dumbledore reasoned. "I will be dealing with the Dursley's when I have the chance, I expect you all to stay out of it" Elijah warned.

The wizards seemed reluctant to condone such actions, but kept silent on the matter. "What happens now, wizards with creature blood aren't treated that well" Harry said. That was an understatement. "Henrik, why don't you go to your room and let the adults discuss this" Elijah said. Harry reluctantly nodded and left. "And I shall know if you are listening in" Elijah called after him. Once Harry was gone they got down to business.

"Harry is but a boy, he doesn't deserve such prejudice against him" Mcgonagall said somewhat hysterically. Elijah could tell that she cared about his son. "My son wishes to return to your school and his friends, I shall allow it if precautions are taken" Elijah said. "I'm listening" Dumbledore said. "My son can survive on either blood or regular food, but I wish for him to have blood twice a day to help his body along" Elijah said.

"That can be arranged, I will tell the house elves and all he will have to do is ask for it at his meals" Dumbledore said. "My son was almost killed many times last year, that will not happen again, he will be safe under your care or else you will not like the consequences" Elijah said. "It was him that raced into danger every time, we can't protect a child when they don't come to us for help" Snape sneered.

"Nevertheless, watch over him while he is at your school" Elijah said cooly. Dumbledore only nodded in understanding. "And last of all, his status will not be revealed, but his name will be changed to Mikaelson since no one knows our last name" Elijah said. Dumbledore looked conflicted on that part. "I'm willing to keep his status a secret for the time being, but his last name must not be changed" Dumbledore said.

"And why not" Klaus demanded. "The Potters were an influential part to the light side for many years, especially during the first wizarding war, his name is a sign of strength" Dumbledore insisted. "The name Mikaelson is a sign of strength, and it shall protect him from many enemies" Elijah said harshly. "It is also a sign of death and destruction, the Mikaelson family is not known as vampires, but they are known for their bloodlust and cruelty" Snape spat.

"It will keep people who wish him harm away" Elijah said. "The Original witch helped build the school for a time, so the name Mikaelson has some good qualities" Mcgonagall insisted. "Ah yes, Esther, people respected her power and hoped for many years that a child of her, or at least a descendant would inherit wizard magic" Dumbledore said. The two Mikaelson's didn't like Esther for obvious reasons, but they kept quiet.

"Changing his name might not be so bad" Mcgonagall said. "It would inflate his ego even more" Snape said coldly. "His name will be Mikaelson or he is not going back to your school" Elijah said simply. All was silent for a little bit before Dumbledore finally spoke. "His name will be changed" Dumbledore said. "Well then it looks like you won't be losing a student after all" Elijah said.
