(Malfoy Manor, England, Wizarding World)
A maniacal cackle echoed in the air as, deep under Malfoy Manor, the Dark Lord was sitting on his throne-like chair, laughing. A few seconds ago, Severus Snape came and told his Lord of Albus' plan to go to Japan and retrieve the Boy-Who-Don't-Care-For-The-Wizarding-World.
Ever since the Daily Prophet published the letter the Missing Boy-Who-Lived sent for him, the Wizarding World was in an uproar. Many were horrified that their Chosen One would abandon them to Lord Voldemort and his Death-Eaters allies while some others were furious about it as they couldn't believe the Boy would do such things as leaving them to die.
What had horrified them the most was the fact the Chosen One would actually encourage the Dark Lord in taking over England, both Mundane and Magical. Everyone, just by READING the words, could all feel the many feelings the Boy-Who-Lived (or the Boy-Who-Don't-Care as he was now called) had for the Wizarding World.
Hatred
Disdain
Disgust
Anger
A lot of the young ones saw their dreams crushed once the news reached their ears. A lot of them had heard that Harry James Potter was the TRUE Hero of the Wizarding World instead of Jacob Potter but then their hero abandoned them all to the Darkest Wizard England had ever known.
Some of the Elders even saw this act as cowardice from the supposed Boy-Who-Lived and even some of the young adults thought this way as they all thought it was the Boy's DUTY to protect them from Dark Wizards such as Voldemort and his cronies.
The only ones happy with this development were of course the Dark Lord himself (who now know that the prophecy was fake) and his followers who were now free to do whatever they wanted now that they knew the Chosen One wouldn't lift a FINGER for the Wizard-kind.
Voldemort had ordered his Death-Eaters to stop any parties out of the countries as, in his eyes, they didn't have to go look for the young man anymore. Ever since he detected the power in the boy's blood, Snake-face had been wary of fighting him as never before he felt such a power.
Heck even Dumbledore who is considered as the second coming of the great sorcerer Merlin don't possess such power.
Voldemort wasn't blind like some of his followers were : he could recognize when someone was stronger than him… but in England it was IMPOSSIBLE. The people of the Wizarding World all believed that there are Black and 'White' Magic but its false. There is no such things as Light or Dark…
Only power.
And by what he read in the letter, Harry Peverell seemed to think like him for that point.
Another reason to respect the boy in his eyes.
Unlike the fools of Magical England who all listened to idiots like Dumbledore.
Despite being English himself, he had to admit that English Wizards and Witches were all stupid and ignorant. Ever Frenches and Bulgarians were smarter than a good portion of the Wizarding World of Great Britain !
Back to present, every Death-Eaters gathered around the Dark Lord staid silent as the Snake-faced man kept laughing maniacally . All of them had just heard Severus' report and some of them were whispering with one another about how idiotic Dumbledore was now.
Going to Japan when they are tensions between the Eastern country and England ?
It was nothing more than a SUICIDE !
Does the Old Coot wants to create an International Conflict ?!
The Ministry of Magic and the Auror Department (or Auror Office) were trying their best to prevent any more problems with Japan that could result in a War. From what Lucius said, even in the Ministry, people were shocked and stunned by Harry's refusal to help them against the Dark Lord and the Death-Eaters.
As if it wasn't enough, thanks to the letter, attacks on Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade became more and more intense to the point where the Minister called off all the English Aurors sent out of the country.
(Note : those Aurors were sent to look for Harry BEFORE the letter came despite them having checked every country (minus Japan for obvious reason) )
Not that it changed anything in the end.
Thanks to Dumbledore's stupid politic of 'Non-Lethal Curse' against Death-Eaters, only stunters and Expelliarmus were used by the Aurors while their enemies used all curses possible… especially two we all know and love : the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse.
Thanks to this, the number of Aurors couldn't stop declining as not many people wanted to join. In fact, a lot of people in the Wizarding World (especially in England) were nothing more than Cowards who waited for others to do their jobs.
That's why they wanted the Boy-Who-Lived…
So he could do his duty and defeat the Dark Lord and the Death-Eaters while they stay behind like rats.
Like Peter Pettigrew … who died like the rat he was.
The traitor died in his Animagus Form…ironically eaten by a Cat belonging to one of the Hogwarts student.
The Ministry of Magic became nothing more than a protected fortress used by the Aurors to defend people locked inside… people who were victims of previous attacks… The Death-Eaters had tried once to take over the Ministry but it was a failure as protective wards had been added to prevent them from approaching.
"The Old Coot is stupider than I thought ! But him out of the countries is a blessing for us !" Voldemort inquired with dark joy once he stopped laughing.
"Why my Lord ?" One of the Death-Eaters, Theodore Nott ( a Hogwarts Student who recently joined) asked the Snake-faced Man with a frown of confusion.
"Because now the Wizarding World is defenseless !" the Dark Lord replied to the young man before looking back at his Death-Eaters
"My loyal Followers ! Dumbledore is not in England anymore ! The Light stand now chance against us now ! Tomorrow… We march on the Ministry of Magic !"
At those words, every people present, even Nagini, roared their excitement and some were cheering with madness at the thought of the upcoming bloodshed.
Voldemort, him, stood on his throne, looking at his followers with satisfaction as a dark toothy smirk grew on his nose-less face.
Soon, Magical England would be his… And no one will stop him !

"Dear passengers we are almost reaching our destination !" The pilot's voice announced to the seated passengers who looked relieved for a moment.
Among those people, we could see Sirius Orion Black, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora 'Don't-Call-Me-That' Tonks and Lily Evans Potter. For hours, the four of them were in that place as it was the only transport they could use to avoid being caught by either Dumbledore or the remaining people of the Order of the Phoenix.
Lily, however ignored everything and everyone as she looked outside through the porthole. After making her oath of secrecy, Siris and Remus told her of Harry and how he was doing. It was a shock to hear that her eldest son had multiple girlfriends but apparently polygamy was common in the Supernatural World.
She had asked a lot of questions and some of them were really… informative. Example, the fact her son was a freaking Were-Lion creature who dated girls who weren't even Humans. Her parents were Christians so when she heard that her son dated a Fallen Angel and Devils, she almost lost her composure.
The redhead was also saddened by how much hatred her eldest had for Wizard-Kind and she couldn't blame him for that. Despite being reluctant to do it, she gave him up because ALBUS BLOODY DUMBLEDORE said she should ! It was the biggest mistake she ever made and while she knew she COULDN'T be forgiven, she would at least apologize and be there for her son… even if he doesn't want her.
She had also be shocked when Tonks told her that Harry had a Phoenix as familiar… a freaking White Royal Phoenix at that ! The redhead thought at first that he was Light as Phoenixes were Creatures of the Light but then Remus told her of Harry's reaction to the same question which had horrified her.
Harry was ready to KILL if it mean protecting those he loved.
From what Sirius said, Harry was neither Light or Dark but Gray. Something that she knew would displease Dumbledore if he heard of this.
Sighing, Lily then stared back at the outside, imagining how her eldest looked like now.
The other three were silent because both Sirius and Tonks were sleeping with the latter having her head on Remus' left shoulder. Speaking of the Werewolf, he was reading a book to pass the time. But while reading, he couldn't stop glancing at Lily who was now staring blankly at the outside.
Remus felt sympathetic for the redhead and that's why he had been the first one to forgive her for abandoning Harry. Forgiven but not forgotten. Just when he and Sirius finished telling her about her eldest, Lily helped them in packing their stuffs before literally apparating them to the nearest airport.
After all, Dumbledore and his clowns would never look at a Muggle Airport as for them, no Wizards in their right Minds would use such transport.
"Harry… Please don't be too angry with us..." The Werewolf silently prayed as he imagined the reaction he would get from the young Lord.
One thing was sure… The reunion will be… eventful
00/(Elsewhere)/00
Meanwhile, far away in the east and unaware of what was going on, Harry was sitting in his library, waiting. What was he waiting you might wonder ? It wasn't a 'what' but a 'who'. Two days ago, he received a missive from the Vampires Factions of Romania and had been pleased when he read that they menaced their 'counterparts' of England of death if they joined Voldemort.
The raven haired young man was also pleased to hear they weren't even THINKING about joining what they considered a 'lesser species' a, like him, they looked at Wizards with disdain. His mother, Eshe, the Primordial Deity of Life, had also told him of what was going on in the Wizarding World.
Usually, Harry wouldn't want ANYTHING to do with such a backward world but he wanted to know their reactions at the letter he sent to the Great Dark Lord Voldemort. As predicted, the letter was published in the Daily Prophet, a Local new-paper, and it caused an uproar among the Magical English Citizens.
From what his mother said, many Wizards and Witches were in despair, wanting HIM to come back and SAVE them from the Dark Lord and his followers. Some, of course, were FURIOUS of his refusal to do his DUTY and even called him a COWARD for 'fleeing in face of what is right'.
Needless to say, this caused Harry to be a bit angry as he hated being called with this word before remembering that it wasn't his problem anymore. However, a part of him, his Dragon-Side to be exact, was inquiring him to at least do something. After all, wasn't he the Dragon God of BALANCE, PEACE and JUSTICE ?
Yes he was but Harry had long ago said that he will NEVER raise a finger for the world who abused him and/or ignored him during his time of need. What did the Wizarding World did for him anyway ? Nothing. Worse, the Purebloods (people he hated with passion) saw themselves as the most powerful species on this planet when a single Centaur could kill some of them with ease.
For Harry, a society who allowed bigotry, prejudices and racism to spread wasn't worthy to exist… the same for the people in it.
Was he cold-hearted ?
Yes
But only for those good-for-nothing Wizards and Witches who themselves as Top Dogs when they are nothing but mere bugs against Creatures such as Dragons or Devils… heck even Fallen Angels were stronger than those cursed people. And it wasn't everyday that he complimented those Bird-Brains…
And no Raynare doesn't count.
At first he had never planned to write a letter but it was Akeno who had the idea… He didn't understand why he should do before she explained to him : what better revenge than leaving them to their fates ?
Of course, it would mean that people from the Light (mainly Dumbledore and possibly the Potters) would try to find him even harder to 'convince' him to fight by their sides against Voldemort and the Death-Eaters.
Speaking of Death-Eaters, the one he captured some time ago had become a test subject for one of the Four Great Satans, Lord Beelzebub, who apparently was having a lot of fun with his 'willing' volunteer. Serafall, who sometimes came to visit (at least 5 times a week), often commented that everyone could hear the 'joyous' scream from the Death-Eater whenever someone passed by Beelzebub's laboratory.
Being sadistic bastards was a common trait among Devil-kind apparently.
Another thing that had changed in the past few days was his friendship with the Creature known as the Strongest Being of Existence : Great Red himself. Ever since the Apocalypse Dragon declared him his equal and accepted his friendship, the two of them grew fond of each other… almost like siblings.
However, that doesn't meant that they didn't wanted to fight one another again in the future. In fact, for the time in millenniums, Great Red had found someone to call a friend AND a worthy opponent. The two of them would chat with each other for hours when Harry fell asleep at night. Having 'Dream Manipulation', the large Red Dragon had the ability to visit his rival/friend in his dreams.
Even Great Red had been amused by how stupid the Wizarding World was and was also disgusted by their behaviors. In fact, Harry discovered a side of the Apocalypse Dragon that he never known before.
While everyone knew him as an 'annoying Brat' or 'a delinquent', Great Red had shown Harry that he was also Honorable, Wise, Fun (Dragon Humor) and really Knowledgeable. It was like talking to an Old Man.
Harry, during those moment with the Red Dragon, would use it to learn many things as Great Red had seen a lot of things in his life even the biggest battles Humanity had ever known : World Wars. While he already knew them thanks to a certain Primordial Deity of Death, it was still nice to hear it from another perspective.
Anyway back to topic, Harry was currently waiting for a representative from the Carmilla Faction (the All-Female Vampire Faction for those who didn't know). In the missive he received two days ago, the Leader of the Carmilla Faction, to show him how much they supported him (and not only for the Blood Lollipops) , had decided to them him one of their own.
He had been completely taken aback by the sudden upcoming but decided to go along with it as he was sure whoever she was (he was 100% sure it would be a girl at this point), she won't simply go back if he asked her to.
Of course, to be sure that his soon-to-arrive-guest would be comfortable, he built another room and bought everything he needed so his guest would feel as home… or as much as possible.
And thanks to Kuroka, Asia, Tiamat and Raynare, the shopping was fast… even if they passed 4 HOURS in the shops !
He did shopping courses before but man when you have 4 women with 3 women and a young teen with you… things could quickly go out of hands. When it was over, Harry had shed a few tears as he had lost a LARGE amount of money. Some of it was worth it as he bought some presents for his rather big family.
The reaction he got from the present warmed his heart greatly. Asia had given him one big hug when he gave her a beautiful golden pendant with a heat-shaped emerald on it. The colors matched both her hairs and her eyes.
Koneko hadn't stopped purring at the sweets she received while Ravel Phenex (his apprentice) received the same pendant that Asia but instead of a heart-shaped emerald it was a Phoenix shaped one.
Akeno received a new whip for her to use (which caused many to shiver at the sight of it along with the sadistic cackle she let out after that) while Tiamat and Ophis both received a golden strap filled with pieces of crystal.
To Yasaka, he sent her a book about Wizarding Spells just like Rias and Sona (it was fun to see the stars shining in their eyes when they received the books). Kunou got new set of toys for her to enjoy while Gasper received video games (particularly RPG or simulation games).
Serafall even received from her caring boyfriend a new staff for her to use whenever she wanted : the staff itself was gold in color but the tip of it looked like a Snake-like Creature which was ironically a Leviathan.
His cousins, Le Fay and Arthur Pendragon, both received a Book on Magic and a beautiful dagger respectively. It was needless to say that Le Fay had thanked him greatly for the gift as she had been REALLY interested in Wizarding Spells… especially Transfiguration.
Issei and Saji both received a book… whose title was 'How to get rid of our perversion' . Of course, the sight of it caused the two to stare at Harry with dead-pan expressions on their faces while the others had all laughed with amusement.
Otherwise, all of them were satisfied by what Harry offered them… even if it wasn't their birthdays. Of course, the best reaction he received came from a certain black haired nekoshou with golden-hazel eyes.
What was it you may ask ?
Kuroka had gave him the biggest kiss he ever received for this. Why ? Because, in her room, he added some cat toys for her to enjoy when she was in her other form : a robotic mouse, a playful feathers wand, balls of yarn etc. He even bought her a Two meters tall Cat Tree !
Koneko would sometimes tag along with her older sister in her white cat form and needless to say it was a really cute sight to see the two felines running around playing with the toys. Even some of his girlfriends, along with Asia, Rias and some others awed at the sight.
Back to present, Harry was reading a book about World War II when he felt something bothering the wards : someone had entered the domain. And seeing that the wards hadn't lowered their guards, it must be his guest as only intruders or strangers could cause such a reaction.
Taking a deep breath, the young Lord slowly rose from his seat before walking toward the front door to welcome his guest. However, before opening them, he called out half-loudly half-softy
"Fanny !"
Instantly, in a soft 'POP', appeared one of his loyal House-Elves who did a small bow at her Lord before asking curiously
"Master Harry called for Fanny ?"
"Yes prepare something for our Vampire Guest… After such a long trip, she must be hungry… and tell Miki to prepare her room… she might want to rest..." The young Lord explained to his servant who quickly bowed at him.
"Of course Master Harry ! Fanny will do as ordered !" The Female House-Elf excitedly replied before disappeared with a snap of her fingers.
Rolling his eyes in amusement at the Elves' antics, the raven haired young man turned his attention to the front door as he opened them wide to take a look at the Carmilla Faction's representative.
Outside, he was surprised to see a 150 cm tall doll-like girl with long wavy light blonde hair, deep red eyes and a beautiful face which was strangely similar to that of a Western doll. Her skin was also deathly pale, a strong proof of her affiliation with Vampires and she was wearing a red dress similar to those princesses of the Middle-Age used along with an ornamented head-dress.
Harry had to admit that the girl standing there was kinda cute and looked similar to a 11 years old kid. But appearances can be deceiving as he could feel a strong aura inside her.
"Lord Peverell Gryffindor Ravenclaw Slytherin Emrys Le Fay ?" the newcomer asked him softy as she eyed him with contained excitement.
The tone of her voice and her accent looked similar to Italian which was logical as Romanian is a ROMANCE language belonging to a Italic branch. In fact, her accent remained him a bit of Asia's when she once spoke to him in Italian.
Shaking his head to regain his thoughts as to look impolite in front of his guest, the raven haired young Lord looked back at doll-like Vampire with a soft smile on his face.
"Yes ? Am I right to assume that you are the representative of the Carmilla Faction ?" Harry asked her back with a raise-brow.
Instantly, just as those words reached her pointed ears, the newcomer bowed at him with nothing but respect as she responded back
" Yes I am ! How do you do ? I'm deeply honored to meet the new Dragon God ! I am Elmenhilde Karnstein ! Please call me Elmen !"
Harry couldn't help but chuckling at how he was addressed before looking back at the Vampire before him
"The honor is mine Lady Elmenhilde ! Please come in and make yourself at home !" The raven haired young Lord inquired to his guest as he stepped aside to let her come inside while opening the door wider.
With a soft smile and with a strange bit of pink on her cheeks, the doll-like Vampire entered the Mansion while looking around with some interest as she followed the young man in front of her. She had to admit that the rumors about him were true especially about how handsome he was.
His hairs as black as a moonless night and those eyes as green as the purest of emerald were part of his charms. Along with that, his power was intoxicating and as powerful as the rumors said… or maybe even more.
Thanks to the Leader of the Youkai Faction, Lady Yasaka the Kitsune, she and the rest of the Carmilla Faction had seen his battles against Sairaorg and Regulus. Later, when the words of a new Dragon God reached them, they were shocked… especially when the new Dragon in question was none other that the young man who create such DELICIOUS sweets for their kind.
After Lord Peverell sent them a missive stating that he would STOP sending us his stock of 'Blood Lollipops', the Leader of both Vampire Faction, for the first time since the 'Separation' had both agreed to stop going at each other throat.
To be sure that their weaker kind (the Vampires of England) would not cause trouble, they menaced them of death if they dared to do ONE SINGLE MOVE !
Lord Peverell's sweets were famous among Vampire-kind as they could not only taste blood but experiment other flavors without endangering themselves ! Her favorite ones were the Cheery flavored Blood Lollipops.
It was to mostly meet the young man that she volunteered to go to Japan as the Carmilla Faction Representative… that and the fact she was a Vampire Noble.
Anyway, back to present, Elmenhilde was staring at the young Lord's interior and had to admit it was gorgeous. While the Mansion itself was kinda ancient, it was well-kept and still gorgeous to look upon.
Then, as they passed near the Library, Elmenhilde took a quick look inside and was really interested in what type of books the young man possessed. Harry glanced at her when he noticed that she stopped following him and chuckling when he saw the interest in her red eyes.
"If you want, you are free to take a look inside later… but first, I think you need to rest for a bit…" The raven young man inquired to the doll-like Vampire who blinked at the sudden voice and looked at the speaker with some confusion.
"After all, you must be exhausted from your trip..." Harry added as if he hadn't noticed the confusion on her cute face.
Elmenhilde couldn't retain herself as some pinks appeared on her cheeks. Why wouldn't she ? The young man barely met her and yet he was concerned for her well-being. It was heart-warming… even for a Vampire like her.
With a soft nod, Elmenhilde followed after him when Harry started moving again. The doll-like Vampire girl, as they both walked further into the Mansion, couldn't stop looking around as the inside was getting more and more beautiful.
Another thing that shocked her was how BIG it was from the inside. Sure the Mansion already looked large from the outside, but the inside looked even bigger ! A chuckle caused her to break out of her thoughts to look instead at the young man before her.
"A simple spell to enlarge the rooms… that's why everything here look bigger in the inside that the outside..." Harry explained to the Vampire who couldn't help but listening with nothing but interest and shock.
Note to self : ask him to teach her some spells.
Nodding at the Lord of the place, Elmenhilde quickly went back after the young man as the latter resumed the tour. Soon, Harry stopped right in front of a wooden door before looking back at his guest with a smile.
"Here is your room from now on… If you are looking for me, I will be in the laboratory over there..." Harry explained to her before pointing at another door down the corridor.
"Thank you for your kindness Lord Peverell..." Elmenhilde bowed respectfully and gratefully to the handsome green eyed young man before her.
"Your welcome Lady Elmenhilde…Please call me Harry… I'm not one for title…" Harry replied back with a smile that warmed the Vampire's heart even more.
Nodding at the Carmilla Faction representative, the young man then turned around before heading toward his laboratory, leaving behind his guest who couldn't stop staring at his back until his form disappeared inside the room.
Sighing deeply, Elmenhilde opened the wooden door to take a look at her new room and gasped softy at what she saw : the inside of it was BEAUTIFUL in her opinion as everything looked Victorian Era's like especially the bed…which was king-sized and covered with black and red.
The window was covered with blood colored curtains which strangely matched her eyes. Then her eyes landed on something that caused her to suddenly being filled with glee : there, in a jar, were Lollipops…but not any Lollipops… BLOOD Lollipops.
At the sight of them, Elmenhilde couldn't retain herself any longer and quickly approached the jar to pick one of the delicious sweets. To her joy, four of them were CHERRY-flavored Blood Lollipops ! Her favorite one ! There were also banana flavored, peaches flavored, chocolate flavored etc.
Without thinking, the doll-like Vampire quickly picked one of the Cherry ones before pulling out the paper to savor the sweet. A delighted and content hum escaped her mouth as she used her tongue to taste the Lollipops.
Then she slowly climbed on the large bed and to her amazement (and delight), it was really comfortable. Elmenhilde putted her head on the puddle, sighing in satisfaction while enjoying the sweet freely offered to her by her host.
Even if it had been a few moments, the Vampire had to admit that her host was being really good so far. A bit of pink appeared again on her cheeks as her eyes slowly closed themselves as tiredness overcame her. Maybe some rest couldn't hurt…
Meanwhile, Harry was in his laboratory, preparing a new batch of Blood Lollipops when a portal appeared near him. It wasn't a Devilish Portal but a Runic One. From it, appeared someone Harry recognized instantly : it was a Dwarf.
"Bergram ! Welcome my friend !" Harry greeted the newcomer as he sat on his knees to be at the newcomer's size.
"Hehehe Long time no see youngster !" The Dwarf replied back with a friendly laugh as he patted the young man on the shoulder.
Bergram was a 4 feet 6 inches tall Old Blacksmith who had a prosthetic right leg and a blind eye. He also had a big brown beard reached down his belly and a look of kindness in his old eyes. Being over 250 years old and all. His face was filled with scars and the biggest was the one on his left eye.
In addition, the newcomer was wearing a full set of iron-made armor while having a strange package with him. Harry and Bergram met over 6 years ago during a trip in Canada (thanks to Muerte and her torture sessions) and it had been the first time for the raven haired boy to SEE a Dwarf.
Bergram was apparently a High Captain who decided to take a vacation for a few weeks. From what Harry heard, the poor guy had lost his wife to a disease and his son left their home to found his own family.
Harry managed to befriend him when he helped the latter in fighting against a pack of Werewolves. Thanks to his armor, the Dwarf had avoided the bites but they were to much for him to handle so he gratefully accepted the young man's help.
Following this, as a sight of gratitude, Bergram pledged loyalty to him and even taught him the way of the Dwarves…especially in the uses of Axes and Runes. In return, Harry gave him a way to come visit him whenever he wanted at Peverell Mansion.
However, being a Captain was a tiring job so Bergram would only visit him 3 or 4 times a year…not that he minded as he could understand. The last time he stopped by was almost two months before Muerte 'forced' him to attend Kuoh Academy.
"Congratulations by the way !" The Brown bearded Dwarf inquired to the young man who blinked twice as his thought were broken at the sound of the voice.
"What for ?" Harry asked him with a frown of confusion as he had no idea what he was talking about.
"About your ascension as Third Dragon God of course ! What else would it be lad ?" Bergram replied back with a raise-brow of amusement.
The raven haired young man stared at his friend with shock while the latter was still laughing at the face he was making at the moment.
"How do you-" Harry began to ask him in stupor only to be interrupted by his Dwarf Friend.
"Harry everyone in the Supernatural World know about this ! And thanks to my friendship with you, my King promoted me to General !" Bergram explained with a small smile on his breaded face.
Blinking a few times, Harry then released a soft chuckle as he replied with a hint of fond exasperation
"So much for a peaceful life huh ?"
Bergram laughed loudly in response before clapping the young raven haired boy on the back
"Blame your luck for that old friend !" The Dwarf began to say before a flash of remembrance passed through his blue eyes
"Oh right here a little something for you..."
As he said those words, Bergram picked up the package he was carrying before handing it to Harry who took it with a frown of confusion
"What is it ?" the young Lord asked the Dwarf with curiosity
"Take a look yourself youngster !"
Rolling his eyes at the Dwarf's antic, Harry slowly opened the large box and was shocked to find its content.
It was a sword.
Not any sword…a Longsword… an European weapon.
The sword was magnificent to look at and could be described as a mastery piece. The hilt was made of pure gold and the pommel looked like the head of a Roaring Lion… with emerald eyes. The cross-guard of the weapon looked sharp and could easily be used to wound an opponent in battle while the blade shined under the light.
The hilt was 30 cm long while the blade itself was really imposing : around 1meter long !
Harry couldn't retain himself for staring at it as something in his core felt attracted to it. Slowly, he picked it up and was shocked by how light it was despite its size and Bergram backed away as his friend swung his new weapon for a bit with amazement clear on his face.
"It is an amazing sword my friend..." Harry commented once he stopped his movements.
"My best creation ! Took me months to forge it !" Bergram inquired with no small amount of pride in his tone.
"How come ?" Harry asked him with raise-brow
While he knew it take time for a weapon to be made, Harry was still wondering why did it take THAT long to made this masterpiece.
"Well… mainly because I have to FIND the stuffs necessary to forge it…The metal itself took take to use…" Bergram replied with a shrug.
"From what I heard Steel and gold don't take that long to be used…" Harry inquired with a frown as he glanced back and forth between his friend and the sword.
"Oh its because it is not a normal steel ! It is the strongest you can get !" Bergram replied with a grin on his face and again with pride and arrogance in his tone.
Harry frowned as he tried to remember all the metals that existed in BOTH Mundane and Supernatural World. Then he glanced at the sharp polished blade deep in thought : the color was silver but then Bergram wouldn't use such a metal for a weapon… unless.
Widening his eyes in realization, the raven haired young man turned his head to look at the Dwarf who had his arms crossed over his chest.
"Are you telling me that the blade is made of-"
"Yes ! Made of Mithril ! Lighter than steel and strongest metal in the world !" The Brown beared Dwarf laughed back at the god-smacked face his friend was making at the moment.
"Fuck..." Harry mumbled in stupor as he looked back at the blade.
"And this is my gift for you !" Bergram added with a smile which caused his friend to look at him with wide eyes
"I-I don't know what to say..."
"What about 'Thank you Bergram for being the best Blacksmith' ?" The Dwarf inquired with a playful grin.
Harry snorted with amusement before giving his friend a soft smile "Thank you…my friend..."
"It was a pleasure doing it ! Now I have to go… I have a meeting with my king in a few minutes..." Bergram remarked to the raven haired boy who waved his hand dismissively.
"Its fine old friend I understand ! Send my regards to your king !" Harry inquired the Dwarf as the latter was about to step into the Runic portal (which was still active at this point).
"I will ! Goodbye Harry see you !" Bergram said one last time before disappearing through the portal.
Smiling at the spot where his friend disappeared, Harry then looked back at the sword in his hands. This weapon was even more beautiful than the Sword of Gryffindor and was made for him by a good friend.
He will cherish it to the end.
But then as he admired the noble weapon, an idea came through his mind.
What if he could upgrade it a little more ?
A grin slowly made its way on his face as he stared at his reflection on the blade, his eyes slightly glowing with power just like the pommel's emeralds. Turning heels, the young man slowly approached the main table of the laboratory, the one holding the Pensive he used to help Kuroka to become a free Nekoushou.
Gently, he lowered the weapon the wooden table before picking up a small knife he usually used during his 'blood sweets-preparations'… and slashing his right hand with it ! Grunting a bit at the slight pain he felt, Harry however ignored it to lower his bleeding hand right above the blade, covering it with his warm and fresh blood.
Suddenly, the weapon started to glow as more and more blood touched the blade and Harry couldn't stop himself from hissing in displeasure as the light was becoming more and more bright. The light emanating from the laboratory could be seen in the hall but thankfully, it dissipated just as quickly so it didn't bothered Elmenhilde who was still sleeping.
Back to the laboratory, Harry blinked a few times as to make sure he hadn't been blinded by the bright light before slowly turning his gaze toward the weapon his dwarven friend made for him…
… only to gasp in shock at the sight.
The weapon itself hadn't changed… entirely. However, now, a strong power radiated from the blade which was now harboring a strange drawn-like symbol on both side of t. It looked like his Dragon-Lion Form…in Runic Drawing.
The cross-guard itself, while still being golden colored, changed and took the form of a Lion's head with emerald eyes and remarkable finishes…which strangely looked like his wings in Dragon-Lion Form but Golden instead of Blue and Green.
The pommel was still the same but on the Roaring Lion Head's forehead, we could see the faint shape on the Libra symbol. The hilt was now covered with a green coating while interlaced with silvery metal which might be mithril.
"Wow..." Harry muttered softy as he admired the weapon's new appearance with stars in his eyes.
The Sword was beautiful to look at earlier but now… it was truly a weapon worthy of a god… or a Dragon God in that matter.
As the young Lord looked at his reflection, he wondered how he should name his new weapon.
He wanted a name fitting for such a gorgeous weapon…
A name showing HOW he would use it.
One thing was sure, he would not use this noble blade to commit massacres (well except those who disrupt the balance) but for doing what is right. Harry wanted the sword to become a symbol in the Supernatural World… but what symbol ?
Not War as he was the Dragon of… Oh.
Damn…
"I'm such an idiot..."
He wanted to punch himself hard for being such an idiot. He was the Dragon God of Balance, Peace and Justice so why not using the Sword as a symbol of his title ?
There now he knew how to use his weapon and why : to bring down those who would harm those he loved and the people who cannot defend themselves.
But there was still the problem of naming the weapon though…
As his green eyes gazed at the cross-guard, the Lion Head along with the hilt and pommel all glowed slightly and as if they had spoken to him, an idea of name passed through his mind as a soft smile grew on his face
"You shine like the stars and your light warm me like a fire would…" He whispered to himself before adding with a proud expression on his face
"From that day on, you will be known as the Sword of Light, Calmacil ! May you warm the heart of the innocents and protect them from harm !"
As if the weapon accepted its new name, a light surrounded it for a brief moment before disappearing as quickly as it appeared. Smiling at his new weapon one more time, the young raven haired Lord then went back to what he planned to do before this whole situation
Working on the net batch of Blood Lollipops.
00/(Time Skip)/00
Harry was right now back in the Library, laying on the sofa with exhaustion clear on his face. 2 hours of hard work to make 4 barrels of Blood sweets… but it was worth it. He just sent Miki out of the domains with the barrels to sent them to the Vampire Factions.
The young Lord also used this moment to secretly sent a message to the Leader of the Carmilla Faction to tell them of their representative's presence in his Mansion.
Using his left hand to get rid of the sweat on his forehead, Harry then heard something from the other side of the Library's entrance and called out in a gentle tone
"I know you are there ! Enter ! I won't bite !"
The last part was said in a teasing manner and a few seconds later, the wooden door opened to reveal Elmenhilde who now harbored pink cheeks as she seemed embarrassed at getting caught.
"Slept well Lady Elmen ?" Harry asked her politely with a smile
"I-I did Lord Peverell !" The doll-like Vampire quickly responded with a bow of respect at the young Lord.
"Please call me Harry… I'm not one for titles..." The raven haired young man replied to his interlocutor with a wave of his hand.
"If that what you want L-Harry… but only if you call me Elmen..." The Vampire replied back with a small blush.
"Alright then Elm-" Harry began to say back in response when he heard a really familiar voice echoing from nearby
"HARRY-KUN ! ITS US !"
Chuckling softy, Harry watched with a smile when the familiar face of Akeno Himejima peaked in the room with her loving eye closed smile.
"Hello there sunshine~" the young raven haired man inquired seductively to the newcomer who giggle a bit at this before stepping closer to pull him into a hug
"Ara ara missed me that much Harry-kun ?~" Akeno giggled back with an amused raise-brow, completely ignoring the other girl present for the moment.
"Of course ! I especially missed those beautiful violet eyes of yours~" Harry replied back with a grin as he looked at Rias' Queen dead in the eyes.
"Your flatterer !~" Akeno cooed back with a giggle before kissing his lips again… to which the raven haired young man returned in kind.
The sight only caused a certain doll-like Vampire to blush madly as she tried to hide her face with her hands. However, that didn't stopped her from HEARING as the sound of many footsteps caught her attention along with a pouting voice
"HEY ! DON'T HOG HIM ALL TO YOURSELF !"
Smirking, Akeno broke the kiss to stare at the newcomers with an eye closed smile. Who were they ? The Answer : Tiamat, Kuroka, Raynare, Rias, Koneko/Shirone, Asia, Issei, Kiba, Rossweisse, Gasper, Xenovia, Irina and of course, Ophis.
Back to topic, the one who spoke was none other than Kuroka whose hands were on her hips while glaring daggers at Akeno who didn't looked ashamed in the slightest… and in fact looked more amused than anything. Even Raynare was glaring at Akeno as she wanted to be the one to kiss him when they arrived.
Tiamat and Ophis, for their parts, seemed indifferent by the whole affair as they made their ways toward the man they loved. The Infinite Dragon, however, shot a brief glance toward the Vampire who shivered slightly at the power she felt from her.
Gently pushing a pouting Akeno aside, Ophis then kissed Harry right on the lips, not caring that she was being watched. The raven haired young man blinked a few times before melting into the touch as he returned the kiss… much to Ophis's pleasure.
"Can't you get a room you two ?!" Issei's voice echoed from the doorway which caused the kissing duo to regain their composure.
Ophis shot him a blank stare but we could see the annoyance in her dark eyes as she narrowed them at him. Harry too looked at the Pervert with annoyance… before smirking playfully.
Without warning, he used his left arm to pull Tiamat to him before kissing her right on the lips. Taken aback by the sudden action, the Chaos Karma Dragon then slowly returned it with a small moan of delight.
Issei stared at them blankly for a few second before whining pitifully "Why don't any girls kiss me like that ?!"
Then he added more sternly "All Pretty Boys should die !"
Instantly, a punch in the guts caused him to fall on the ground with a groan of pain courtesy of Koneko who muttered loud enough to be heard "Hate Perverts..."
Just as those words left her mouth, a bag of sweets suddenly floated in front of her face which caused her face to brighten.
"A little something for my favorite kitty !" Harry replied with a grin as he looked at the white haired Nekoshou.
Koneko sent him a small glare at being called a Kitty, picked up the bag of sweets before sitting on the nearest sofa to munch some of them. Ironically, it was the sofa Elmenhilde was on so Koneko shot her a brief glance before looking back at Harry
"Replacing me Oniisan ?" she asked him with a sour look on her face.
Ever since Harry became Kuroka's lover, Koneko no longer saw him as a Cousin but as an Older sibling. And who was he to complain as he loved the white haired Nekoshou dearly.
Harry stared at Koneko with a dead-pan expression on his face before commenting "I think Akeno is a bad influence on you Koneko-chan..."
"Mooouuuu you're so mean Harry-kun !" Akeno inquired with a pout as she looked at her lover.
And it deepened when she noticed that everyone seemed to agree with his words… even her King.
"Anyway, Harry can you present us your new friend ?" Rias inquired to the young Lord as she wanted to know who was the one sitting on the sofa.
However, just by looking at her, the redhead could tell that she was a Vampire : long canines, pale skin, blood red eyes… Yep the physical signs that someone is a Vampire.
"This lovely lady over there..." Harry began to say with a grin toward Elmenhilde (who blushed at the words) before opening to say something else…
...only to be interrupted by someone you never thought would speak so freely.
"Is a member of the Carmilla Faction..."
Everyone turned their heads to look at Gasper who blushed a bit in embarrassment at the attention he was receiving. Elmenhilde looked at the girl-like young man with a raise-brow but then became serious
"Aren't you Gasper, the son of Lord Vladi ?"
The androgynous boy gulped slightly at the question but nodded his head in answer. Harry looked at the Dhampir with a raise-brow while commenting with a bit of amusement
"I didn't know you were a child of Noble kiddo..."
Gasper blushed madly at those words and turned his head away from Harry in embarrassment. Chuckling, the raven haired young man turned his emerald green eyes away from Gasper to look at Elmenhilde with a smile despite looking dead serious.
"Maybe you should present yourself milady..."
It was Elmen's turn to blush but then cleared her throat as she went back on her feet before looking at everyone present. The blush on her face had disappeared as quickly as it came.
"How do you do people of all powers ? I'm especially honored to meet the little sister of one of the Maous, the Great Infinite Dragon and the Chaos Karma Dragon ! I am Elmenhilde Karnstein ! Please call me Elmen !"
Rias bowed at the newcomer while of the people did the same… except Tiamat and Ophis who merely nodded their heads in greetings.
"Welcome in Kuoh Elmenhilde Karnstein… May I ask the reason of your presence here ?" The Gremory Heiress asked the doll-like Vampire with some curiosity while trying her best to hide it under an air of neutrality.
"Our leader sent me to represent the Carmilla Faction… She wanted to show her support for Lord Peverell..." Elmenhilde responded casually while glancing at Harry who looked back at her with a raise-brow.
"I see… But I don't understand WHY would you support him ?" Rias asked the Vampire with narrowed eyes.
Feeling a bit playful at the moment, a certain raven haired young man with emerald green eyes couldn't stop himself from stating to the redhead
"Isn't that a hint of jealousy I'm hearing there Riri ?~"
Instantly, Rias' aqua blue eyes turned away from Elmenhilde to glare at Harry who harbored a large grin on his face as the redhead hissed at him in embarrassment and exasperation
"HOW MANY TIMES DID I TOLD TO STOP CALLING ME RIRI ?!"
Still grinning, Harry used his right hand to reach for the redhead's face before her above the head
"Awwww don't be like that Riri ! You wouldn't want your pretty little face to be as red as your hair now would you ?"
Rias's face, at those words, reddened even more as steam could be seen pouring out of her ears. Her aqua blue eyes were narrowed at Harry and if looks could kill, he would be dead with such a fierce glare.
Around them, people were snickering in amusement while Tiamat and Ophis had allowed amused smiles to appear on their faces. Elmenhilde was completely stunned by the way the two acted : after all, it was a bit strange to see such powerful beings acting so… unprofessional.
"I will get you back for this mark my word..." Rias grumbled under her beard.
"I doubt you will… But here a little something for you as a sorry gift..." Harry inquired playfully… before kissing her on the cheek (the left one if you wanna know).
The action caused the redhead to froze on the spot and even some people looked stunned by the sudden action… except Raynare, Kuroka, Tiamat, Akeno and Ophis. Speaking of Rias' Queen, she couldn't stop herself from commenting with a hint of amusement in her voice
"Ara ara planning to add another girl in your 'pride' Harry-kun fufufu ?~"
"Maybe… Maybe not..." Harry replied back with a grin of his own while Rias was now nothing more than a blushing mess.
"CAN'T YOU STOP TAKING ALL THE GIRLS ?!" Issei hissed (no pun intended) at the raven haired young man with jealousy and envy clear in his tone.
However, the brown haired Pervert quickly backed off when Koneko cracked her knuckles in a menacing manner along with a dark glint in her eyes.
"Relax pal ! I don't plan to take your girlfriend from you anytime soon !" Harry replied to Issei in a friendly manner (at first) before smirking toothily at the last part.
Hearing this, both Rias and Issei blushed madly while turned their eyes away from one another in embarrassment. Everyone couldn't retain themselves anymore and laughed loudly with humor and even Elmenhilde couldn't stop herself with giggling softy.
However, the amusing moment was broken when a certain Infinite Dragon commented with narrowed eyes filled with suspicion
"Harry-kun… Why am I scenting a powerful Sacred Gear in you ?"
At those words, everyone stopped laughing to stare at the raven haired young man who chuckled sheepishly in response as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. Everyone were now staring at him with narrowed eyes as they waited for his answer.
Kiba, the young Lord noticed, looked tense and he knew that the Blond was now suspicious as his new sword held almost the same aura that the Excalibur pieces. Even if Calmacil was much more powerful than the Legendary Sword of King Arthur.
"Well I-" Harry began to say before he felt someone entering his domain.
He knew those signatures pretty well by now.
"I will explain in a bit… For now, I must welcome our new guests..." the young Lord inquired to his friends and girlfriends before leaving the Library toward the front doors.
Curious, the others followed him especially Elmenhilde as she wanted to know who might possibly come to see Lord Peverell. Imagine her surprise and shock when, after Harry opened the doors, she saw two women on the other side.
Like many creatures in the Supernatural World, she knew who it was and couldn't help herself as she quickly bowed in front of the two newcomers who were none other than Eshe, Primordial Deity of Life and Muerte, Primordial Deity of Death.
She was not the only one as some of the others did the same (except for Ophis and Harry of course) but they quickly stood back when Eshe waved a hand dismissively while inquiring in a gentle tone
"There is no need to bow little ones~"
Elmenhilde couldn't help but comparing the Deity's voice with honey because of how sweet it sounded. In addition, the caring look in her eyes warmed her greatly with calm despite being in the presence of Deities.
"Even if it IS nice to receive some respect from time to time..." the Primordial Deity of Death commented with a hint of amusement in her blue eyes.
Unlike her sister's , Elmendhilde remarked, the pink haired woman's voice sounded like flowing water… calm but yet cold. The only thing that wasn't causing the doll-like Vampire to shiver were the Deity's eyes. Despite being the Deity of DEATH, her blue eyes held nothing but love and care.
Eshe shot her sister an amused glance before looking back at the people in front of her… until her eyes spotted Harry. Smiling warmly, the Primordial Deity of Life stepped closer to the young raven haired man before pulling him into a gentle hug… which he returned wholeheartedly.
Elmenhilde was stunned by the actions currently taking place as she glanced back and forth between Lord Peverell and the Deity. Wondering at first what was going on, the doll-like Vampire then remembered that her host was Lady Eshe's son so it wasn't surprising to see the two showing affection with one another.
Eshe and Harry hugged each other for a full minute before slowly breaking it. The Primordial Deity of Life had a radiant smile on her face as she looked at her beloved son but then frowned in confusion and a bit of suspicions.
"Harry dear… Why am I sensing a powerful artifact on you ?" she asked him with a curious raise-brow as she crossed her arms in an authoritative manner.
'Serious Mode Activate'
"I think I wanna know that too..." Muerte inquired with a stern expression on her face as she looked at her nephew with narrowed eyes.
Glancing around, Harry noticed how everyone was now looking at him expectantly… except Kiba who looked ready to lung at him as he had summoned his sword. Taking a deep breath, the raven haired young Lord then looked back at everyone present before inquiring in a soft tone
"Follow me to the dining room… I will explain everything there…"
Nodding at him as the Mansion's doorstep wasn't the most comfortable place to have such an important discussion, they all followed him as he led them toward the large room that was generally used during 'Meal-Times'.
Once everyone were sitting on the chairs, Harry glanced at them one by one as he took a deep breath. He could see the impatience in some of his guests' eyes and he couldn't blame them for being this curious and couldn't help but secretly smirking at the faces they will make once he will show them his weapon.
They were in for a big surprise.
"Alright then… first of all… Mum, Aunt Mu… meet Lady Elmenhilde, the Carmilla Faction's representative..." Harry began to say as he gestured toward the doll-like Vampire who bowed at the two Deities.
"Don't bow little one… This is not necessary…" Eshe inquired to the Vampire with a warm smile on her face.
Muerte didn't say anything as she stared at Elmenhilde but then smirked toothily as she then turned her attention toward Harry before inquiring in an innocent tone… far too innocent for his taste.
"A new girl for your Harem dear nephew ?~"
Thankfully Harry wasn't drinking anything or else he would have choked on it. Elmenhilde, for her part, was blushing madly as she tried her best to look anywhere but at Harry who was looking at his aunt with a pale expression on his face while everyone else looked amused by the scene.
"NO ! She is here to represent her Faction that's all !"
"You sure ? Because if you want to add her in your harem, you have my blessing~" Muerte replied with a grin and a wink.
The blush on Elmenhilde's face deepened at those words while Harry hided his face in his hands in embarrassment. Feeling a bit of pity for her son, Eshe decided to save him from more embarrassment as she slapped the back of her sister's head before scowling her like a two years old child
"Stop embarrassing my son Mu or else no more Sailor Moon for you !"
The Primordial Deity of Death looked at her sister with horror while everyone present laughed at the comical scene in front of them. Even Harry was chuckling as, thanks to his mom, he was now serious again.
"Alright I will stop… Geez you are not fun..." Muerte grumbled to her sister as she pouted in indignation.
Grinning victoriously at the pouting Deity, Eshe then glanced back at her son before saying "After all, no one embarrass my son but me !"
Harry's relieved face turned into a pale one as she looked at his mother with slight fear… which caused her to laugh loudly with humor
"You should have seen your face !"
Grumbling something inaudible under his beard, Harry then tried to break the embarrassing moment to return to their topic
"2 hours ago, someone came to visit me just after Elmen here..."
As those words escaped his lips, everyone became silent as all eyes were on him. All of them looked curious (even if Ophis was still keeping her straight and emotionless face) and waited for him to explain further.
"Who was it Oniisan ?" Asia asked him with the cutest expression of curiosity you could see.
"Bergram..." Harry replied softy as he looked at the former nun with a smile.
"Bergram ? Who is that ?" Issei asked out-loud in confusion as he looked at everyone present who looked just as confused…
… except for 2 people in particular.
"What did the Dwarf want ?" Muerte asked her nephew with some coldness in her tone.
The Primordial Deity had apparently a strong dislike against Dwarves as she saw them as nothing more than greedy and arrogant little bastards. She hadn't been happy when Harry befriended one but reluctantly accepted it as her nephew didn't had a lot of friends back then.
But that doesn't mean she still liked it though.
"Wait Dwarves are real ?!" Issei asked Harry with disbelief and shock from his seat beside Rias… who glanced at him with a smile of amusement.
"What is a Dwarf ?" Asia asked the Deity with a titled head as she had never heard of them before.
Muerte opened her mouth to answer but Eshe was faster
"Dwarves are like Humans but smaller in stature. However they are the best blacksmiths and stone-workers of the world… They are also strong fighters despite their short size..."
The Primordial Deity of Death grumbled something under her breath and this caused many to look at her with frowns of confusion. Seeing this, Harry opened his mouth to answer their unasked question
"She hates Dwarves..."
A grunt of agreement from Muerte caused more than one to drop the subject even if some were curious as to WHY she hated Dwarves. But with her being a Deity, it would be difficult to convince her to tell them.
"So my dear you were saying ?" Eshe looked back at her son with a raise-brow in an attempt to return back to their previous discussion.
The raven haired young Lord blinked gratefully as his mother while Muerte slowly looked back at her nephew… a bit calmer than a few seconds ago… even if we could see the coldness in her blue eyes.
"Oh right… As I said, Bergram came to visit me 2 hours ago… Congratulate me for my ascension as Dragon God and telling me of his promotion as General..." Harry explained as calmly as he could.
"Can you go straight to the point ?!" Issei inquired him rather rudely as he wasn't really known for being patient.
"For ONCE I have to agree with him…" Muerte inquired from her seat with a nod which caused more than one to stare at her with shock as it was well-know how much she disliked Issei the Pervert.
In fact, the only reason Issei was still… well here was because he was one of Harry's friends.
Harry rolled his eyes at the two of them as he knew why his beloved aunt wanted to skip the part with the Dwarf but he decided to do it regardless… or else he would have to suffer another LECTURE about how Dwarves were nothing more than Liars, Thieves and Greedy little monsters.
"Fiiiiine… Bergram came to give me something..." Harry grumbled with fake-annoyance to the two before getting up.
"What did he gave you Oniisan ?" Koneko/Shirone asked him with a raise-brow of curiosity as she eyed him from her seat.
"Don't you know the proverb 'Curiosity killed the Cat' ?~" Harry asked the white haired Nekoshou with a playful grin on his face.
Koneko glared daggers at him and he obtained the same reaction from her sister Kuroka who didn't looked amused in the slightest… while everyone else were trying their best to hide their amusement.
With a smirk, the young raven haired young man closed his eyes as he took a deep breath… before reopening his eyes. At the same time, in his right hand, appeared Calmacil in all its glory. At the sight of the sword, many gasped in shock at the power radiating from it.
"Everyone, let me present you my new sword Calmacil !" Harry inquired proudly as he spined the weapon in his hand.
In response, the blade shined under the light and the emerald glowered a bit.
Eshe and Muerte glanced at each other with a small smile at the reaction the weapon caused to the other people present. Even the Primordial Deity of Death had to admit that Bergram did an EXCELLENT job on this sword. She might dislike Dwarves but even her, had to admit that their work was simply impossible to rival.
"Magnificent..." Rossweisse commented as she eyed the Sword with pure interest.
Many others mumbled their agreements. Even Ophis couldn't denied that her mate's sword was beautiful to look out and radiated a power similar to the most powerful Sacred Gears.
Kiba,however, was glaring at the sword hatefully and Harry seemed to noticed as the raven haired young man fully turned his head away from his weapon to stare at Rias' Knight.
"Something the matter Kiba ?" he asked the blond with a frown.
"Give me the Sword ! This is a piece of Excalibur !" Kiba roared in anger as he jumped on his feet, literally climbing on the table while his eyes were still locked on the weapon.
Suddenly, Harry's eyes glowed with powers as a darkish aura surrounded his body. At the sight of it, Rias and her Peerage (minus Kiba and Akeno) all flinched as they remembered what happened the last time he did this… they ended up on their knees.
However, after a few seconds, nothing happened and they all looked relieved for a moment… until their eyes landed on Kiba.
The blond was on his knees and it was easy to see he was being pressured by something invisible.
So Harry learned to direct his aura huh ? Good thing….for him.
"This sword was forged by Dwarves ! I then used MY BLOOD to link it with me ! Calmacil is bonded to my soul !" Harry's voice replied calmly but also icily. However, unlike the previous tone, there wasn't any deep voice just his normal one… but much colder.
The tone alone caused many (except Eshe, Muerte, Tiamat and Ophis) to flinch in fright. Kiba, for his part, was absolutely TERRORIZED as he stared at Harry with nothing but fear on his face.
"Harry… stop it..." Eshe inquired to her son in a calm tone but the seriousness in her eyes sent shivers down everyone who seen it… even her sister.
Harry's eyes flicked to his mom and shivered at the look he received so he quickly dropped his aura before looking apologetic as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Sorry..." he mumbled under his breath to the blond who was slowly getting back on his feet.
"'s okay..." Kiba managed to mumbled back to the raven haired young Lord as he sat back on his chair, looking down in shame.
Rias glanced at her Knight with a worried expression before looking back at Harry when the latter spoke to his mother and aunt.
"Mom ? Aunt Mu ? I was thinking of… well..." Harry began to say before nervously pausing.
For his weapon to be recognize as a Symbol of Power, he had to add a little something on it : the Blessing of a Deity. A weapon blessed by a Divinity had more chance to be seen as a Powerful artifact. Sure Calmacil will be seen as a strong weapon but with a Deity's blessing ? It would be seen as a Legendary Weapon !
"Yes son ?" Eshe gently inquired him as she was a bit curious about what he had in mind.
Muerte was just as curious as her sister as she was looking at her nephew with an expectant look on her face. The coldness she had when they talked about Bergram the Dwarf was gone and was now replaced with care and attention.
"Can you bless my sword ? Please ?" Harry bluntly inquired the two as he glanced back and forth between his mother and his aunt.
The two Primordial Deities blinked in surprise as they hadn't expected such a request from the young Lord before them. They weren't the only ones as everyone else were staring at Harry with wide eyes of stupor… well except Ophis who merely raised an eyebrow at her mate's request.
"I don't see why we couldn't…" Eshe inquired pensively after a few moment of silence.
Muerte nodded at her sister's words but then looked back at Harry with inquisitive eyes
"Before we do, I want to know WHY you would ask us such a thing dear nephew…" the Primordial Deity of Death.
Harry, knowing that the question would have been asked at some point, took a deep breath before opening his mouth to answer with sincerity.
"I want Calmacil to be seen as a Legendary Sword… I want its name to be said with respect in the future as one of the most powerful weapon forged..."
Eshe glanced at the sword in her son's hand before looking back at him "Dear… Even without our Blessings, Calmacil is much more powerful that Excalibur… and CAN compete with the most powerful Sacred Gears… "
This small piece of information caused many to gap at the sword with shock and disbelief. The youngest ones (Asia, Gasper and Koneko) were also looking at Harry's weapon with stars in their eyes. Even Elmenhilde couldn't retain herself from staring as she couldn't believe that a Dwarvish Sword could rival a Sacred Gear !
"I know but… I decided to make this weapon as a symbol of my mine…" Harry replied softy as he looked at his mother in the eyes.
Then he looked at his Aunt who hadn't said anything as she stared at him with a calculative look in her blue eyes.
"I know I'm asking you a lot but… I also wanted this wanted to have a part of you… I want to use it in your names..." Harry inquired in a sincere tone as he looked at the Primordial Deity of Death in the eyes.
"Do you really think flattery will get you anywhere ?" Muerte asked him with a stern expression on her face as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Huh… well… I..." Harry grumbled nervously as he stared at his aunt… who suddenly started laughing.
"Well then you succeeded !" The Primordial Deity of Death inquired to her nephew between two laughs.
Harry stared at his aunt with a dead-pan expression which caused many to snicker in amusement. However, his attention was quickly caught when a certain Deity of Life started to speak
"Indeed you did son… Very well we will grant you your request..." Eshe inquired to her son as with a wave of her left hand, Calmacil levitated toward her.
Without a word, she went back on her feet just as her body surrounded itself with a white aura-like mist. Her eyes were now green orbs without slits. Beside her, Muerte was in the same situation except that her aura was gray-black in color instead of white and her eyes were aqua blue instead of green.
"Me, Eshe, Primordial Deity of Life, bless the sword of my son, Calmacil with durability ! May the blade never be broken !" Harry's mother spoke with a deep feminine tone.
The same tone she used back when she, along with her sisters, turned him into Arslan, the Celestial Dragon God of Balance, Peace and Justice.
As those words left Eshe's lips, a white light surrounded the sword and one of the Drawings became white in color instead of dark gray.
"Me, Muerte, Primordial Deity of Death, bless the sword of my nephew, Calmacil, with eternal sharpness ! May the blade remain trenchant and never dulls !" Harry's aunt recited in an equal tone as she brushed her left hand near the blade.
Just like her sister before her, the blade was surrounded by a gray-black light and the other Drawing was now completely as black as a moonless night in color in contrast of the other one who was as white as snow.
Once it was over, everyone could feel an even greater power radiating from the sword. Harry stared at Calmacil with pride once Eshe returned it to him with a small smile along with a small "It is done..."
Grinning, the raven haired young man span his sword in his right hand before staring at his reflection through the blade. Smiling, Harry then looked back at his aunt and mother before bowing his head slightly.
"Thank you..."
"Anything for you son/dear nephew~" The Primordial Deities responded at the same time with warm smiles on their faces.
"Ara ara you will never stop amazing me love fufufu~" Akeno inquired seductively from her seat at the right side of Rias.
"What can I say ? I'm just amazing~" Harry retorted with fake-arrogance.
Eshe fondly rolled her eyes while Muerte snorted in amusement at her nephew's reply. Some of the other present seemed just as amused and a few were rolling their eyes with fond annoyance at Harry's antics.
Kuroka then made her way toward her lover before hugging him from behind with her large breasts pressed against the back of his head.
"A problem kitten ?~" Harry asked her with a playful raise-brow and was rewarded with a kiss on the forehead from say 'kitten'.
"No I just wanted to cuddle you nya~" Kuroka replied with a purr-like sound as she pressed her right cheek against the top of his head with a content sigh.
Rolling his eyes at the black haired Nekoshou, Harry then noticed two more people at his side and before he could say something, they both hugged him tightly. Who was it ? Koneko and Asia of course.
"I want hugs too !" the former nun inquired softy as she hugged her brother figure's right side while the white haired Nekoshou hugged his left one.
Koneko didn't wanted her older sister to hog Harry all to herself. While she didn't have any romantic feelings for the raven haired young man, she still loved him deeply as a brother figure.
Harry found himself being unable to move and looked at the others for help… only to see them looking back at him with grins on their faces as no one made a move to help him.
"I hate you all…" he grumbled at them and his words caused them to laugh with amusement at his predicament.
Eshe, as she looked at her son, was trying her best to hide her worry. Destiny, the Primordial Deity of Fate and her younger sister, told her that Harry will got some visitors later in the day… and one of them will surely anger him just by the sight.
When asked, Eshe was outraged to hear that LILY EVANS POTTER would come here but had promised her sister to not say anything to Harry… but deep down she was still angry at the woman for what she did so many years ago.
Shaking her head to get rid of those thoughts, the Primordial Deity of Life looked back at her son who was trying his best to escape the hug but failed. She will have to worry about that later… For now, she will just enjoy the moment with her sister and her son (and her future step-daughters) before the storm came by.
00/(Time Skip)/00
The day passed rather quickly as the Deities left a few minutes ago to perform their duties… but Harry didn't believed them as he was 100% sure both his mom and aunt were currently watching their favorite anime (Sailor Moon for Muerte and Saint Seiya for Eshe).
Kiba also left because he had a date with Tsubaki and he didn't wanted to be late as he planned to take Sona's Queen to a nice restaurant.
The others (minus Tiamat, Ophis, Kuroka and Raynare) were all doing the homeworks Rosseweisse gave them during class the day before. It was the main reason of Rias' peerage's presence here. Akeno and the redhead, however, were there to learn more stuff from Harry's books… especially when he bought some more to add in his Library.
Books on Animagus or Elemental Magics particularly.
Rias was now really good at Transfiguration while her Queen was a master in attack spells like Expelliarmus or Confringo. Even young Asia showed prowess in magic as she could perform a lot of defensive and healing spells.
Just before the Deities left, someone else entered the fray… in the form of the youngest member of House Phenex : Ravel. Thanks to Harry and his tutelage, the girl could perform a good variety of spells and even managed to learn one thing or two in how to use her fire power.
Ravel could use it to defend herself, to protect others or simply to attack. Harry had however noticed the looks and glances she sometimes gave him whenever she thought he wasn't looking and it wasn't hard to understand that Ravel had a crush on him.
Of course, because of this, she became what Rias called a 'Yandere' and it was proven when Ravel saw Elmenhilde near him right after her arrival at Peverell Mansion. He had to stop her from doing something drastic as it was evident that the blond looked ready to attack the Vampire.
In the end, after a LOT of explanation, Ravel and Elmenhilde made a tentative friendship after talking with one another. The former was really curious of Vampire-kind while Elmen was curious of how she became Lord Peverell's student.
Anyway back to present, Harry just finished the essay Rossweisse game him and he handed it to her. The Valkyrie thanked him gently before reading it, her eyes slowly turning into stars as she went through the lines.
"Well done Lord Peverell !" Rossweisse inquired the young man who nodded his head in response.
Just before him, the Valkyrie took a look at Asia's essay and while it was shorter than his, she had been pleased with what she read.
"Your turn Issei-kun..." Rossweisse inquired to the brown haired Pervert who reluctantly handed her his essay.
Going through the lines, Harry felt uneasy at the sight of the Valkyrie's face turning a bit sour.
While Issei was a Pervert and all, the brown haired young man was not a bad student. Thats why he had been accepted at a prestigious school such as Kuoh Academy. So to see Rossweisse being like this… was intriguing to say the least.
"Well… you may redo this Issei-kun… for good measure..." The Valkyrie told the brown haired boy in a serious but kind tone as she handed him back his essay.
"Come on ! Its is no THAT bad !" Issei replied to Rossweisse as he picked back the paper.
"Not the worst thing I saw but close..." was the Valkyrie's answer before she left them to go elsewhere.
"I hate homeworks…." the brunette boy grumbled under his breath as he glared at his essay.
"Easy pal… there is something more terrible than homeworks I can tell you..." Harry replied in encouragement from his seat just as everyone stopped what they were doing to look at him with interest.
"Like what ? If you are referring to what we had fought against before-" Issei began to say before being interrupted by the raven haired young man.
"No those are child-play compared to what I have in mind..."
"What could be worse than fighting Fallen Angels, Riser and his peerage, a Giant Golden Lion, Fenrir or Great Red ?" Gasper asked him from his place beside Elmenhilde with clear curiosity on his face.
"Easy… the worst thing you can have to handle is the nightmare of all politicians, lords or leaders…" Harry said with a grim expression on his face.
"Which is ?" Rias asked him with a raise-brow as she might have an idea of what he was talking about.
"Paperworks..."
Some of those present grumbled their agreements at that while the others shrugged their shoulders or simply stared at him with confusion. Sirzechs always complained about having too many paperworks and the same could be said from Serafall or Zeoticus Gremory.
Ravel Phenex stared at her mentor for a few seconds before nodding her head in acceptance while keeping in mind how dangerous paperworks were… just in case. Elmenhilde also seemed to understand what Lord Peverell refereed as her leader also dealt with this… and never liked it.
"I'm sure paperworks is not THAT bad !" Issei inquired stupidly as he looked at the raven haired young man with a blank look on his face.
He was instantly rewarded by multiple dead-pans from Harry, Rias, Raynare, Kuroka, Akeno, Ravel, Elmenhilde and Rossweisse which caused him to shut up for a while. The raven haired young man opened his mouth to answer he suddenly stiffened.
The reaction quickly caught the attention of everyone present as they stared at him with concern.
"Oniisan are you okay ?" Asia asked her older brother figure with pure concern.
"I'm fine… Someone had entered the domain…" Harry replied with a stern expression on his face.
Ophis hummed in thoughts as she used her sense to detect the newcomer(s).
"I sense 4 people… 2 men and 2 women..."
Tiamat nodded in agreement to the Infinite Dragon's words as her own face looked stern.
Harry closed his eyes as he used the wards to get more informations on the unexpected visitors.
"I know 3 of them… the last one… I don't recognize..." he inquired after a few seconds of silence as he went back on his feet.
"Who do you think it is ?" Kuroka asked her lover with a raise-brow as she and the others quickly left their chairs.
"The three are none other than Sirius Black, my godfather, Remus Lupin and Tonks… The last one… is familiar but I can't remember where I felt it..." Harry responded with a frown as he tried to remember where he had felt the magic signature of the unknown visitor.
"Regardless… I should let them in at least..." Harry replied with a shrug and a sigh as he went toward the front entrance of the Mansion.
Of course, he was followed by some of the others except a few : mainly Rossweisse, Rias, Akeno, Issei (because he had an essay to finish), Ravel, Gasper, Elmenhilde, and Koneko. Raynare decided to stay behind as well, as she wanted to keep an eye on Asia and prevent Issei from doing something idiotic. The two of them grew really close with one another as the time passed.
Those who were currently following him were Tiamat, Kuroka, Ravel (being the Yandere she was) and Ophis.
Ignoring the girls behind him, Harry slowly opened the Mansion's front doors and was greeting by a welcoming sight : like he had 'predicted', it was of course Sirius, Remus and Tonks. The former two were strangely close as they stood shoulder against shoulder… as if they were trying to hide something… or someone.
"Wotcher Harry !" Tonks greeted him with a friendly wave as she stood right in front of the Werewolf.
"Hey Tonks !" Harry greeted back as he pulled the older girl into a tight hug, happy to see her again before looking back at the two men.
"Sirius ! Remus ! Welcome back !" The raven haired young man greeted the two with a joyful expression on his face.
"Hey cub ! Long time no see ! How are you ?" Lord Black inquired him with a smile.
However, the smile itself was suspicious… While it was genuine, it also held a bit of nervousness in it.
Harry's eyes narrowed a bit at that as glanced back and forth between the two men especially when he remembered that he felt FOUR magical signatures.
"Where is the fourth one ?" He asked them with a raise-brow as he crossed his arms over his chest, taping a foot on the ground as he was waiting for an answer.
Instantly, he noticed how nervous the three newcomers looked and the two men were glancing at each as sweats poured down their foreheads. Tonks looked at everything but not him as herself was nervous.
"Forgive us cub but… she insisted to come..." Sirius inquired in soft tone as he stepped aside with a nervous look on his face.
Remus did the same as his friends and harbored the same expression on his scarred face.
And there standing between the two men was someone Harry thought to never see again. His eyes glowed with anger as he glared at the person in front of him as his pupils turned into slits.
An emerald green aura-like fire started to surround his body as he didn't turn his head away from the fourth newcomer.
He could NEVER forget her : especially as the emerald green eyes and the red hair were a big giveaway. She was the one who accepted to give him away to the Dursleys… she was one of the people who ABANDONED him to 9 fucking years of torture in Hell of Earth.
It was the Bitch who accepted to listen to a senile Old Man's words instead of her heart.
It was Lily Evans Potter… His former mother…
"YOU !"
