Chapter VI: Education Time!

Arszlan found himself sequestered in one of the backrooms of the house, which had been turned into a library. Basically it was one of three spare bedrooms that had the space magically expanded.

Expansion charms worked on the SPACE of a room not the room in itself as Remus had explained to them. "Now then what creatures did you want to learn about?" Arszlan asked as he opened a two litre bottle of coke.

He had reasoned with his parents that better having him on a sugar high, rather than Eve. Eve had the puppy dog eyes, which she would use to no abandon should she ever get on a sugar high.

"Werewolves…" Mark said the moment Arszlan had asked the question.

Arszlan smirked "Werewolves, are as they a portrayed in the movies except they are much more vicious. Werewolves transform under the full moon and contrary to what you make think are completely incapable of controlling their urge to feed. The only way to control the wolf is to use a potion called the Wolfsbane, which will eventually kill the drinker due to the contents are actually toxic to the human body. To kill a werewolf you need to use silver or break its skull or neck. But to do the latter requires abnormal physical strength. They are also descended from Lycans which are the ancestors of the werewolves."

Daniels ears perked up "What they like?"

"Savages…according to vampires, the first class of lycans were incapable of transforming into human form once they had been turned. Allergic to silver, a trait which all werewolves have, then after the true born lycans came the lycans that could shift between either form on a whim. The true lycan and shifting lycans are immortal as in never aging and immune to disease and time."

"What's your opinion on Lycans?"

"I don't know because the only Lycan, I know was a werewolf. I guess it all depends on the person." Arszlan replied with a wry grin as he guessed the next creature.

"Vampires!"

Eve had joined them and pouted at Harry, the younger lycan as quick as she was, still was slower than her elder brother who effortlessly swiped the coke bottle out of her hands.

"Depending on the clan they're either artistic, blood thirsty brawlers, insane or aristocratic assholes. They don't require human blood, any sort of blood will do. They can also eat normal food but choose not to because of a rapid change in taste buds. You can't kill them holy water or a cross, sunlight only kills the new born and those under five centuries. However prolonged sun exposure will weaken all vampires considerably, the permission to entry to a house is bogus. The shapeshifting is a myth the only actual effective method of killing vampires is taking their heads off and burning and salting the remains for good measure."

"Mermaids?"

"Recluses, not real fans of the dry world. Hogwarts has a colony or three in the lake."

"Elves?"

"Extinct or near enough…"

"Dragons?"

"Vicious, roast everything around them alive…Don't horde gold but are exceptionally territorial."

Arszlan stood up and stretched, Katie had entered the room. She had evidently stolen one of his new jumpers and he had to say she looked good in it.

Meanwhile down in the kitchen the Grangers were listening to Selene's life story which finished after Viktor turned her into a vampire.

Mr. Granger stared, he had traced his family back to Hungary "Selene, were you related to one Viktor Bakos?"

Selene snorted "He was an asshole but yes. He was my nephew, the only one who survived the killing because he was too busy hacking some peasants to death."

"He was a killer?"

"A notorious monster, my father was the younger brother…It didn't surprise me that he survived the slaughter."

Hermione stared "So you're like my twelfth great aunt."

Selene nodded and she stumbled backwards as Hermione and Mr. Granger pulled her into a hug.

"So what do we do now father? What should I do? I mean we've found my cousin who happens to be Harry Potter, the Headmaster…" Babbled Hermione until her father coughed.

"The headmaster can kiss my ass with his demands; Arszlan Corvinus Corvin is not Harry Potter. He was adopted and had a Potter glamour charm on him if your books on family magiks are correct. Unless a blood adoption took place, which seems unlikely because even though the Potters were a firm believer in equal rights, but unlike the Dumbledore's who are known as pacifists the Potters would make a stand…From what it seems and only Aunt Selene can clarify this for me, your headmaster stole your cousin and gave him to two minions of his only to not know that they had such a strong stance on child theft." Mr. Granger growled, making Hermione gulp.

Unknown to her, Hermione had been dosed with a tracking potion which would only activate upon visual sight of Harry Potter. Unfortunately for the freshly formed family, that is exactly what happened. "Harry!" She gasped when the gigantic teen entered the kitchen.

"Hermione? What are you doing here? Besides its now Arszlan." Arszlan replied, his eyes widened before fading to black and wings sprouted from his back.

His senses tingled as he felt the magical pressure of a multitude of apparations happen like rifle shots reverberating around the suberb as aurors, and the Order all appeared on the Corvin property.

(Short as fuck, I know but a big dust up is due)
