"The charms were still in place…" said Azriel in surprise, "He walked straight through them as if they weren't even there!" they sighed together. "Having the little mystery as a mate is going to be a ride," he said softly.

Arian nodded and removed the charms before leaving for his own bed, hundreds of thoughts running through his head, but most prominent was this new mystery. Tom?……

Chapter 6

Akemi woke up the next morning and his heart soared as he remembered that his magic had finally accepted Arian and Azriel. He smiled happily to himself and sighed. He had never thought he would find so much love, he hardly deserved it after all. However now he had two wonderful mates who were strong enough to deal with his magic's temper. Ever since he was small he had dreamed of a family and now, maybe, he would finally get one. Pushing aside the curtains he got up wincing as his bare feet touched the cold floor.

Today was the start of classes, he was ready to work harder than he had ever done in Hogwarts. With teachers always watching him and all the kids expecting him to do specific things he had always been too nervous to try things he had liked and had only done things he had been expected to do, and it wasn't like the Hogwarts course list was very large anyway.

He was looking forward to the classes especially since the twins, Alexei and Jared, had chosen a lot of the classes he had, which made him feel much safer. He wondered if Arian or Azriel had any of his classes too? It would be nice since they should get to know each other properly now. He took a deep breath and ran across the cold floor to the bathroom. Hopping onto the thick rug and digging his toes in Akemi decided to try harder with his shyness.

Even at Hogwarts he'd stayed away from the limelight whenever he wasn't forced into it. Ron and Hermione had helped with his shyness. He'd battled with it, balancing their speaking with his so it seemed he'd said more than he had. He was still surprised no-one had noticed exactly how deep his shyness had run.

Quickly brushing his teeth and getting ready Akemi slipped out of the bathroom holding back another wince at the cold floor and got dressed. Glancing around he rolled his eyes realising most of the dorm was still asleep, except for the bed on the far right. He cocked his head to one side unable to remember who slept there. A small blush covered his cheeks as he realised he'd been so caught up in his silly angst that he hadn't gotten to know any of his classmates and although the thought of new people was daunting he knew that now he had Arian and Azriel as well as his magic he'd be better.

Leaving the dorm and making his way down to the main hall Akemi put on a brave face. He was determined to reclaim his Hogwarts mask of bravery and start properly here. Pushing open one of the doors and making his way inside his face lit up in awe as he saw the hall. He'd only been in here twice, once he had been rushed to meet the new students and the other the masses of people had scared him but now he could appreciate the beauty.

The hall was huge, easily twice if not three times as big has Hogwarts great hall. The two longest sides had high arched stained glass windows depicting scenes of nature twisting trees and strange exotic flowers made Harry stare at the myriad of colours. Hung neatly to the sides were thick dark green velvety curtains held in place by huge golden clasps. Akemi briefly wondered how they were drawn and opened before he shook his head 'magic duh'.

Looking in front of him he could see the hall had been set up for breakfast almost like a muggle buffet restaurant. Along the left side of the hall was a huge long table groaning with food and spotted throughout the rest of the hall were small round oak tables able to seat about 8-10 people. The teachers had a raised rectangular table on a platform at the far end and above them was another window without stained glass or curtains through which the sun shone brightly.

Students were milling about and a low but steady murmur of voices filled the air. Student in the uniform lined by the buffet table and small groups sat laughing with each other at the table. Four teachers including Headmistress Elena were sat at the teachers table. Akemi raised a hand in greeting and she nodded back a small smile on her lips.

Collecting a plate form on end of the buffet table and moving to the back of the queue Akemi took a deep breath and let it out slowly a soft smile on his place. This school may well be old like Hogwarts but somehow it felt nothing like it and everything like home.

Having piled his plate with fruit and holding a small glass of juice in his other hand Akemi turned around and scanned the hall to decide which table to sit at. Suddenly Akemi did a double take, at a table near the middle sat a boy on his own, Akemi recognised him as the daemon from his dorm…what was his name...Elsander! He narrowed his eyes determined and moved forwards making his way to the boy.

"Um, good morning, you're Elsander right? From my dorm? Do you mind if I sit here?" he said glad his voice didn't shake. The boy looked up and deep purple eyes locked with bright emerald green, the boy paused.

"Do you happen to have a pen?" he asked after a few seconds silence.

"Um…no sorry," Akemi replied rather confused. Elsander pushed a book towards Akemi on the table that seemed to have lots of very complicated numbers and letter scattered across it connected by various multicoloured lines. There were also small strange looking diagrams containing a man, a pentagram and what seemed to be a ferret.

"Not to worry, I only wanted to change a small thing, you see the mistake yes?" he said pointing at a single line of numbers.

"The author has failed to calculate into his equation the fact that when the spell is cast the persons own magic would fight against the transformation causing it to become unstable unless the caster is acutely aware and in control of his own magic," he replied. "Strange that he missed such a glaringly obvious paradox, perhaps he was distracted at the time he was writing this…." The daemon trailed off his eyes glazing over slightly. "I suppose his pet cat could suddenly have jumped onto the desk, or a wormhole in time and space could have opened up and swallowed him whole……I think I too would be rather preoccupied should that have occurred while I was writing a script." He muttered distractedly, "Would you?" he said abruptly turning to Akemi who was stood rather uncertainly watching the strange boy.

"Err yes I'm pretty sure I would have been," he said and the boy's eyes lit up.

"Wonderful!" he exclaimed pulling out the chair next to him. "Feel free to sit down then, we must be on the same wavelength! 250Hz yes?" he said excitedly. "I'm Elsander and I'm very pleased to meet you," the boy shook his head enthusiastically and there was a clink as a pencil fell out of his hair loosing several strands which fell into his eyes. He let out a huff and the strands fluttered away. "AHA! I knew I brought one down with me!" he said loudly before picking up the pencil and tucking it back into his hair.

Akemi giggled, very glad he had mustered up the courage to make friends. This daemon was obviously very clever but also kind, which more than made up for his eccentricity in Akemi's eyes.

"I'm Akemi," he started "I'm dark elf and I'm in your dorm, pleased to meet you too!" Elsander nodded his head pleasantly and picked up some bread from the plate next to him.

"Brain food, eat up!" he stated motioning at Akemi's plate with one hand and stuffing the bread in his mouth with the other. Akemi nodded and both boys ate in friendly silence.

"So…which classes are you taking?" Akemi asked after finishing his mouthful. Elsander grinned

"Why everything except martial arts and duelling of course! I won't be much good at defence against the dark arts practical either but I simply refuse to miss out on all the theory," he said determinedly. "What about you?" Akemi sat stunned.

"But that's over 30 different classes! How will you manage?!" he gasped. Elsander chuckled and stuck out his hand.

"Hello there, I'm Elsander, daemon and certified genius at your service little one, anything you don't understand I'll be happy to help," Akemi stared in surprise.

"Wow that's amazing! Thanks for the offer of help I'll be sure to ask you, I'm new at quite a lot of my classes here so I'll probably need the help." He smiled gratefully then his smile turned into a frown. "Hey!!! You're not going to call me little one as well are you?! My name's Akemi and I'm not that small!!!"

There were no windows in the boy's dorms. Instead candles had been charmed to get steadily brighter in line with daylight. As candlelight flooded his face Arian groaned and threw his arm over his face wishing he could sleep just a few more hours. Someone standing over him snorted and Arian reached out to smack them but his hand just connected with air.

"Get up Arian, it seems our mystery has already left for breakfast, we shall have to teach him soon that he cannot go anywhere without letting us know," Azriel's soft voice said. Arian sat up quickly and growled as his eyes settled upon the empty bed that belonged to his Akemi. His eyes narrowed as possessive shivers overcame him, luckily they calmed as soon as Azriel's hand touched his shoulder and he turned to look at the silver haired vampire. "Come, get ready we shall find him," Azriel said giving his usual half smile which let a single razor sharp fang peek out of one side of his mouth. Arian sighed leaning up to poke the other side of Azriel's face in an attempt to get him to smile properly, to no avail as the vampire pulled away rolling his eyes.

Throwing the covers aside and stalking to the bathroom Arian tried to get a hold on his feelings. He was worried about whether Akemi was okay, happy about Akemi's opening up last night, confused about this 'Tom' person, and grateful that through all of this Azriel was still by his side. His eyes frowned slightly at Azriel's continuing half smiles, the vampire had been brought up among such deadly politics that he controlled each thought, each feeling to the utmost. Arian was used to it, but he wasn't yet certain how Akemi would take it, however Azriel's frowns and worry had become a lot easier to read since the little mystery had showed up.

Arian sighed as he realised he would have to write his parents soon and let them know he had found his mates, though perhaps they could help with Tom. As soon as the holidays came up Arian was determined that Akemi should accompany him and Azriel to their homes though perhaps they'd have to verse him in some politics first so as not to offend anyone. Thinking back to Akemi's horrific scarring Arian decided that maybe it wouldn't matter so much anyway. There were so few born vampire's left that children were scarce. Born vampires could have children that grew and aged until their maturity when they would stop aging. No turned vampire wanted to turn a child and curse them to stay that way forever, not since Elder Gregorio anyway. This meant that all vampires were very very protective of young, and Azriel had spent much of his life being doted upon by everyone he knew. Likely Akemi would receive the same treatment especially if they learnt of his past.

Both his pack and Azriel's clan lived in Russia and had been allies for many centuries meaning Arian spent more of his time in Azriel's various mansions than in the huge cave system his own pack lived in. Azriel's parents were very important, his father, Morne, was around 400 years old, one of the elders and strategy advisor to the leader of the high court. The high court was basically vampire royalty as you could not become a high court member without being over 500 years. It was made up of 10 elders and each had their own jurisdiction in running the vampire world, the capital of which was Russia. The leader was known as Elder Elzath and was 625 years old, all decisions went through him and he had no main jurisdiction.

Azriel's mother, Celeste, was a song mage rare for a vampire but not unheard of. She could weave spells using songs faster, stronger and easier than most wizards, specifically spells that would usually take a large amount of time to complete such as wards or rituals using runes. She was Master crafter and in charge of the wards that surrounded the vampire populations in Russia meaning she travelled a fair amount. Azriel never got to see her for more than a few days at a time, luckily Arian was always able to distract him and his father was always around one of the mansions and used to visit them plenty.

Arian snorted to himself as he compared Azriel's home with his, it was a no brainer as to which one Akemi would like better, although they didn't call him the little mystery for nothing, it was possible he'd surprise them.

Arian's pack lived in a huge cave system near deep in a large pine forest. His pack was one of the largest in Europe containing more than 300 wolves. The alpha Lerenis had 20 betas just to keep everything working. His father, Darius, was one of those 20 and his mother was a healer. The pack was a strong and old one. Luckily for him pack politics was a whole lot less complicated than vampire politics. In his pack strength equalled power, or the few highly intelligent ones commanded respect as healers or negotiators when speaking to other packs or races. Arian, although strong from his father's side, had inherited his mother's intelligence and hoped to become a negotiator one day. A demanding job but it would insure respect and a safety in his pack for him and his mates.

Drying himself and quickly dressing Arian slipped back out of the bathroom seeing Azriel who was stood impatiently by the door. The others in the dorm had woken and there was a flurry of activity as the remaining boys hurried to get ready.

"Come, we must go," he said with just an undertone of annoyance in his voice which Arian picked up on rolling his eyes. Making his way over they exited the dorms and began the trek down to the great hall.
