Adrianna blinked against the sunlight blinding her. Wearily raising her hand she shielded her eyes. The blinds slowly came down.
"Better?" a man's voice asked.
"Yes thank you. Where is Draco?" she requested.
"I sent him to get some sleep," the man said coming closer. "Hello Kendra." She looked into eyes that were identical to her own. The same jet black hair. Well, she could have gotten that from either of her parents really. Though Moony's was tawny streaked with grey.
"Hello," she greeted with a smile.
"You're so beautiful and all grown up," Sirius observed. "I hear you're a vampire princess and young Malfoy's mate." Adrianna nodded. She wasn't sure what to say to this man. The memories Lily Potter had shown her, had her calling him daddy and she had adored him. Adrianna frowned.
"Where is father?" she asked.
"He is here. Would you like me to go get him?" Sirius asked hurt evident in his voice as he rose to head for the door.
"Not yet," she answered reaching out her hand. "Can I see... see your memories?" she hesitantly asked.
"Of course," he answered. Placing her fingers at his temples she cast the vampiric memory spell. She broke the spell when he was sent to Azkaban. Tears shined brightly in her eyes. "Don't cry my darling. Daddy is here," Sirius said taking her into his arms. "Daddy is here and I'll never let you go."

Demetrious stood in the doorway watching the scene unfold in front of him. His precious angel was being taken away from him. Little by little these people were stealing his child away. First that Veela, the Lycan and now this man. He only wished that his Adrianna had failed. He stepped away from the door and headed down the hall. He stopped at Sinjin's door.
"Hello my prince," Sinjin greeted.
"You will take care of her and watch over her?" he demanded ignoring the greeting.
"With my life," the necro vowed.
"That will have to do," the prince said, starting to walk away.
"You cannot leave without telling her goodbye. She wouldn't understand."
"I am not needed here," he snapped.
"You should let her decide if that is true." Sinjin demanded. Sirius popped his head into the room.
"Our daughter is looking for you," Sirius told the prince. The Prince nodded and swept out of the room.

Harry had sat by Sirius' bedside every chance he had, and after a week his godfather had awaken only to want to see the girl. Things were a bit awkward when Sirius found out he was Evan James. Harry would catch Sirius looking at him with this expression that Harry just couldn't read. Harry didn't know what to make of it or how he felt about it.

Demetrious walked into the darkened room. Adrianna was sitting up reading. She glanced up and marked her page.
"Father," she greeted holding out her arms. He happily took his angel into an embrace. "I am so confused," she admitted the words were muffled against his neck.
"About what?" the prince asked.
"Having four fathers. Harry, well he doesn't have anything to do with me," she told him. Demetrious narrowed his eyes angrily. "And I can understand that. His daughter is as old as he is, took his boyfriend and takes away attention from Sirius. Then there are the memories that Lily gave me - they loved me. I called them daddy and papa - But you are the only father I have ever known. I feel disloyal to you." Adrianna started to cry.
"Oh my angel! What have I done to you?" Adrianna looked up at him confused. Demetrious reached out and wiped away her tears. "Your heart is so big and you are filled with love. You are my child but also theirs."
"So it's okay if I call them daddy and papa? It's okay if I come to care for them?"
"Of course! Just don't forget about me," he teased yet there was some truth behind his smile.
"Never!" she assured him tightening the embrace.
"Better?" he asked and she nodded. "Now about that veela." Adrianna stiffened. "I see he has marked you. I had so hoped that you would have taken a vampire as a husband. Is he good to you?"
"He says he loves me. We're getting to know each other."
"He has barely left your side since coming to this school. He is worthy of you," Demetrious reasoned.
"Really? You'll give your blessing?"
"Is this what you want? Do you love him?"
"I think I'm beginning to. I know I will. I do want this father!"
"Then you have my blessing. I must return home," he explained. "Preparations for your father's war."
"Be careful," she warned him.
"You too my angel." He kissed her forehead and opened a portal. Demetrious looked back at his daughter and they both smiled. He stepped through.

Draco stretched and found Harry watching him from the window.
"Harry?" Draco questioned sitting up.
"Is she your mate?" Harry asked.
"Yes. She calls to me. When she touches me my heart sings."
"So why haven't you bonded?" Harry wondered.
"She wants to love me as much as I love her," Draco explained.
"I see," Harry smirked.
"What is this about Harry?"
"Just looking out for my daughter," Harry sneered.
"That's bullshit and you know it. You don't care about her."
"How can I with first the vampires keeping her away and then all of you hovering about her."
"You're jealous!"
"Am not!"
"You are! They're her parents."
"I know that!"
"Instead of judging her, why don't you get to know her?" Harry left without another word. Draco grabbed his dressing gown and left his room.

Hermione brought a tray into Adrianna's room. She found the girl deep in thought.
"You are Harry's 'sister'. Do you think he'll hate me forever?" she quietly asked startling the bushy haired girl.
"He doesn't hate you," Hermione offered.
"Just resents me and wishes to change history," Adrianna reasoned. "I don't blame him for the way he treats me. I took away his boyfriend, Sirius and Remus are spending a lot of their free time with me and just the knowledge of having a daughter the same age as you... it must be overwhelming. I only came to help. The nightmares were horrible. Father felt he had to send me here."
"You have nightmares?" They both turned to see Harry in the doorway.
"For a couple of years now. But they were getting so bad. The castle on fire..."
"... and everyone dead or dying. You've been getting the same dreams."
"Another gift you've given me."
"You mean curse." Adrianna said nothing as she watched Draco silently enter the room and sit on the bed beside her. Harry was pacing in front of the fire while Hermione stood by the window watching. "What else did I give you?"
"Parseltongue and I can change into a phoenix and a griffin."
"You're a parselmouth?" Hermione gasped. Adrianna nodded.
/Show me,/ he hissed.
/What do you want me to say?/ she returned.

"So what do we do now?" Remus asked Sirius.
"Make up for lost time and try to get to know our daughter," he answered wrapping his arms around his mate holding him close.
"Do you think she'll let us?"
"We try, and if she rejects us, then at least we know we tried."
"She's so different from our baby."
"Because our baby grew up to be a princess. She's been raised to take over. We had hoped to raise our child to be carefree." They both sat in silence remembering a happy child with flowers in her hair. A girl who always smiled. Each wondered what that girl was like now. Would she reject them?

/I don't need you to be my father,/ Adrianna explained to Harry. /But we are family. Couldn't we pretend to be cousins or something and just get to know each other? Maybe become friends?/
"It's rude to hold conversations that no one else can participate in," Hermione huffed.
"I'm sorry Hermione but only Harry needed to hear what I had to say," Adrianna told her. Draco squeezed her hand reassuringly. He didn't know what she'd said but he'd felt the feelings behind the words.
"What other languages do you speak?" Draco asked trying to change the subject.
"Father made sure I can speak, read and write English, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Vampiric, Elven and Parseltongue. I can only speak Draconic."
"You can read and write Parseltongue?" Harry asked. Adrianna nodded.
"You can talk to Dragons?" Draco gasped.
"Will you teach me Veelan?" she requested.
"I can try," he smiled happy that she was willing to learn his ways.
"Why don't you attend classes?" Hermione questioned.
"Not really much reason to. Even your headmaster agreed. I learned years ago what you're learning now. Of course your Potions Master has agreed to a few extra lessons."
"If you're so advanced why study with Professor Snape?" Hermione sniffed.
"And give up a chance to study with Potions Master Severus Snape?" Adrianna gasped. "You don't know how lucky you are! Do you realize the number of potions he has invented to help the world?" She looked wide eyed at the Gryffindor girl. "I couldn't pass up the chance!"
"So what level are you?" Harry asked. Adrianna thought for a moment.
"I guess second semester university senior," she finally answered. "Or maybe post grad. It depends on the university I guess."
"How long have you been studying?" Draco asked.
"Studying what?" she questioned.
"Magic," Draco answered.
"Which form? Muggle? Vampiric? Wizarding? Elven? I've been studying since I could properly talk." The three gaped at her. "I take it that isn't the norm?" Three heads nodded.

Severus was setting up a separate student lab. He had never instructed such an advanced student. Especially one that was excited about being taught by him. This girl... she's the daughter of the brat and the bane of his existence. Gods he was so attracted to both her fathers. Not to mention the damn wolf. Severus shook his head. He needed to get his mind off of them. He'd have to go visit the princess and his godson to make sure they were well.

"We can't keep putting it off. Shall we go see our daughter?" Remus asked kissing Sirius' neck.
"You're right. Let's go talk to her." Sirius said unbuttoning Remus' shirt.
"Maybe later," Remus muttered.
"Yeah. In a bit," Sirius agreed.

Hermione dragged Harry off to study leaving Draco alone with Adrianna.
"You okay?" she quietly asked. Draco held out his arms. Smiling she moved to sit in his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Now I am," he smiled. Adrianna laid her head on his chest. She listened to his heart beat. "You really scared me," he admitted.
"I didn't mean to but I couldn't leave him behind," she explained.
"I understand that but the next time you have to do something so dangerous I'm going with," he demanded.
"Anything you want," she whispered against his lips.
They spent the rest of the day snogging, cuddling and talking. Each trying to reassure the other unknowingly strengthening their bond. Neither noticed the many people who popped in to check on them.
