Harry Potter & the Demon Blood
Don't own HP so shoot me if I say other wise.
Chapter Seven
"Uh, well you see…sigh I'm a half demon."
Cray, who had been watching from the living room archway, turned serious as he growled low. "You mean to tell me that you have been doing who knows what with my sister, being of demon blood?" His voice was rising, as he thought the worse out of this discovery.
"We didn't do that you pervert!" Mya yelled as she hit her brother. Inuyasha was chuckling at Harry, who was looking like he had a pack of wolves in front of him and all he had was a twig. Kagome was looking sympathetically at him while Drench looked amused.
He cleared his throat after a minute of his children's bickering. "So that explains why Mya took to you so well. But that doesn't explain how you came to know Mutt face or his wife, or why I never sensed your blood. Or why you all came here with him for that matter."
"Well, first, Inuyasha and Kagome are friends of my family and as for my blood; I didn't get the demonicness of it until about five nights ago."
"And you didn't tell us after you found out about us?" Cray shouted again.
"No, and I asked Mya not to do so because I was worried something like you would happen." Harry snapped back. Cray shut up at that, as he realized that he was like an overprotective father, but instead was a brother, which was wrong in his opinion, as brothers are meant to torture their sisters, not defend them against boyfriends. (Cause I know that if I ever tried to defend my sister against her boyfriend, she would kick him so hard he either wouldn't be able to reproduce, or his tailbone would come out of his mouth, then she would turn to me and do the same. Not that she doesn't already torture me to death.)
"Ok, now that you have put my son in his place, mind telling me why you, Mutt face and his wife are here? Aside from my daughter I might add." Harry gave a sly smile at the last comment.
"Yeah well it turns out I have blood magic. And seeing as how Mutt face here, sorry Inuyasha, but you do deserve that after calling me kid for over ten hours, can't teach me as much as I can learn, he decided we would ask you to do that for me."
"Fine, fine, but what is your last name?"
"Potter, sir."
"Potter, Potter, Potter… Hmmm… Wait you don't mean the lunar demon Potters do you?"
Harry just dropped his disguise on his left hand, showing the full demon his palm.
"Well that settles it. I didn't know they had blood magic abilities in their line."
There was some silence as they all took this information in.
"Um, Mr. Blood, not to be rude or anything but can I ask what kind of a demon you are?"
"I am a blood demon, of course."
"Feh. I could have told you that." Inuyasha snorted.
"Well you didn't so I had to ask." Harry snapped back.
Mya looked on as Harry, her father and the male half dog demon interacted like old friends that made fun of each other. A lot in Inuyasha's case, as both Harry and her dad picked on him in one way or another and anytime he went to get physical his wife would stop him. She glanced sideways at Cray and noticed he was watching as well.
"So what do you think of him now?"
"Don't know. I still don't like that he kept his blood line hidden from us after he knew what we were."
"Yes but I knew and that is what I think matters. Besides I agree with him. If you had known before you would have killed him on sight. And with him not really knowing anything about his powers you'd have slaughtered him. Now, I know he could at least dodge your attacks. He is extremely fast."
"And how would you know?"
"Simple. We tested it on the second day we hung out."
They stood in silence for a minute before the heard the others talking.
"So every morning I get an hour to myself after the sun rises then I come here and train with you until 2:00. After that it's my time again?"
"Yep. Seeing as how Mutt face already taught you the basics of what else you can do."
"Good. Well I guess we should be going. See yah runt." Inuyasha said as he left with Kagome.
Silence rained for a while before Harry turned to Mya.
"Well we have a day to catch up on now don't we?"
Mya gave a happy yell before grabbing his hand and pulling him out the door to do what ever they usually do at about three in the afternoon.
Drench had chuckle at them.
Yes they get along really well. Almost like they were made for each other.
It was three and a half weeks later. Harry had started his training and now could use several spells and attacks easily. His favorite things were his dagger wire, which he called viper, and his pistols which already had names. He had also learned how to use his unique type of attack though it was draining.
By now demons had finally picked up on the scent of demons in the area and were coming in hordes almost to fight them. It was half good as it gave them better practice. I mean you can only blow a wooden dummy up so much.
And today was no different.
It was just before sun rise and Harry and Mya were in a tree in the park. Suddenly the tree they were in broke from the ground as a huge centipede burst from underneath it.
They both jumped from the tree and landed deftly.
"Another centipede? We have killed twenty of just centipedes already. Why can't we have more of those other ones? You know the ones that have different shapes like the lizard demons from last week?"
"Harry, if we got to have all the fun we could get we would get bored of them."
"So? Not like it really matters."
"True."
The centipede lunged at them. Harry quickly pulled his hand back sharply, releasing the dagger from its holding place, and quickly made a spider web with the wire lengthening and trailing his pattern. When he finished he gripped the wire and it pulsed red as the web stayed in place. The centipede struck the web an instant later.
"Viper's Web." He whispered as the wire flashed a brighter red and suddenly crimson snakes started bursting from it and wrapped around the centipede.
Mya jumped up removing the charm on her fingernails and focusing on the blood to collect, as blood demons could do such things easily.
"Blades of blood." She said as she swiped her hand and made five crimson crescents that flew down and sliced into the struggling creature that was now pinned to the ground by the snakes made of blood.
Harry dispelled his snakes by retracting the wire and channeled energy into one of the pistols as he pulled it out. A red sphere shot forward when he pulled the trigger and set the creature ablaze with an eerie crimson glow that incinerated the body.
"That was easy."
"Centipedes are always easy. Besides you used your viper." Mya replied with a slight pout.
"Sorry. Oh shoot I just remembered something."
"What?"
"School is going to start soon. So I won't be here."
"Harry, just use the hell phone we got you."
"Oh yeah." Harry said as he thought back to the day that they got him it.

Harry woke early in the morning like always, three hour before the sun rose. After a quick stretch he donned a pair of black pants, a grey muscle t, his combat boots, his fingerless gloves, a black trench coat he was taking to wear more often, and his weapons. The pistols he kept in a special holster that made it so no one else could see them unless he told them they could.
He walked down the stairs, missing steps that made even the slightest sound that could only be heard by nonhuman ears. Silently he slipped out of the door with little to no sound, and headed for Mya's house to pick her up for their time in the park.
He walked up to the door like always and knocked five times, paused and knocked two times. The door opened and Cray stood there looked out at him.
"Well are you going to come in or not?" Cray said in an annoyed voice, like he always did when Harry waited for permission to enter.
"Thanks." He said as he stepped over the thresh hold. He noticed the lights were off and the light of candles came from the kitchen.
Cray answered him before he could ask though.
"Power outage for our house. We were in the middle of breakfast so we are still eating. Care to join us for some? I know Mya will ask you even if I didn't." Harry nodded.
Cray opened the door for him and as he walked in he saw the candles on the table. Suddenly the lights came on and Mya, her father, Inuyasha, and Kagome stood up and shouted 'Surprise'.
Well at least every one did except Inuyasha. He had tape over his mouth and a sign stuck to his head that said 'Even from Mutt face'.
Harry didn't know rather to be in shock, hysteria, or just plain happy. He chose the middle one and burst out laughing while falling back holding his sides.
Inuyasha ripped the tape off and pulled the sign off while grumbling something about blood demons and tape.
Harry stopped laughing and sat up.
"Well, happy birthday to you too." Mya pouted slightly at the fact that he had fallen over laughing instead of standing there dumb struck. After all she had bet Cray on that.
"Sorry, it's just that Inuyasha looked ridiculous with the duck tape on his mouth and the sign." He gave some more laughs before something seemed to strike him. He stood in shock for a minute before speaking.
"Wait. Did you say birthday?" Mya looked happier; as it meant that she wouldn't loose the bet, and nodded her head.
"Yes Harry, it's your birthday, after all it is July 31st." She pulled a cake out from below the counter next to her and put it down on the table in front of him. "I hope you like your cake."
The cake was a circular double layer, step up style, and had a crescent moon of coconut and chocolate icing on the top. The lower layer was chocolate and showed the cycle of the moon with coconut icing. Around the edge where the top layer sits on top of the lower layer sixteen crimson candles shaped like swords sat with their points imbedded into the cake.
"Wow! You know this has got to be the best cake I have ever seen."
"Well we still have presents for you as well. So blow out the candles." Kagome said.
Harry quickly obliged and blew them out with one strong puff. They dished out the cake and talked animatedly while eating it at the table. When the cake was done they went to the rec room to open Harry's gifts. He saw several there, some from his school friends, some from his demon friends, and some from a few of the adults he new on a friendly level.
He chose to open them from school, to out of school, to demon friends. First, there was one from Hermione.
Dear Harry,
I know I haven't sent any letters but Dumbledore said that it was for the best that we don't. I hope you are coping with your godfather's death Harry. Just remember that it wasn't your fault and we are still here for you.
With friendship,
Hermione.
Hermione, being Hermione, got him several books, mostly on DADA and dueling. He opened the next one, which was from Ginny. Her letter said about the same thing and she got him a shield locket that he could put photos of his parents in. Ron's was a little briefer, as usual, and he asked about his relatives. His gift to Harry was a book on quidditch, of course. Hagrid got him a thing of stone cakes, which Harry set aside to throw at some one later, and a book on both light and dark creatures. Dumbledore sent him a letter and with in the first two lines he said that he hoped that Harry was staying in his house. Harry ripped it to shreds as soon as he read that. He didn't send him anything else, which Harry was glad about.
From Remus he got a letter that asked how he was coping and how he was doing. He also got a shoe box that held four carved animals, some more letters, a key, and what looked to be a small motorcycle. Harry picked up one of the animals. It was a large dog made of black diamond and was wagging its tail at him. He put it back with the others and looked at them. There was a wolf made of brown agate, a stag made of diamond, and a fox made of garnet. The fox and stag were snuggling at the moment so Harry guessed it represented his mom in some way. He picked up the letters and scanned over all of them quickly but still reading them.
"Holy Hell!" He shouted.
"What?" Every one else asked.
"I can't believe this. One, after I got everything from Sirius, which is basically everything in the Black Family Vault minus what Remus and Tonks got, I am now the richest wizard in Europe. And two, Sirius left me his bike, which he had taken to calling The Marauder after it got him out of several prank related situations. Remus says that he would never let anyone else drive it for some reason though." He wiped away the tears that had formed as he thought over everything in the letters and paperwork. There was also a book that the marauders had written all their notes in, from pranks, to becoming animegi in a short time with out help, which was something that excited Harry a great deal.
He put it aside and continued. Tonks sent him a book on auror spells and strategies. Moody sent him a holster that went on his arm. The twins sent him some clothes and a ton of pranks. The Weasley family as a whole sent him some sweets and a journal. He got one other gift from out side his demon friends and that one was from the Order of the Phoenix as a whole, which was a book on super advanced DADA spells and the such.
He then came to the ones from those in the same room with him.
From Cray and Drench he got a book on blood magic. From Inuyasha and Kagome he got an encyclopedia of demons.
Mya's gift he liked the best in his opinion. She got him a locket that was looked like a silver angel wing and a golden demon wing folded around an eight point star, with four of the points being silver and the other four being gold, so that they were cupping it and forming a heart. Unlike the locket that Ginny got him, which opened like a book, this one first opened the wings to something akin to a flight position and the front of the star split and opened on hidden hinges, so that the eight points inversed, to reveal the round back, out of which the wings came, that was made of a silver gold marbled styled metal. On it there was a picture of Harry and Mya kissing. Harry recognized it as their kiss from the night before, when what had started as a quick peck turned into a gentle, but passionate, as well as long lasting, kiss, that Harry had one hand behind her head and the other on her waist. Both her arms were around his neck and they were both enjoying it greatly, to the point that they did even notice when Cray took the picture. They did come out of it until Cray tapped them both on the forehead.
As it turned out Cray and Drench both said they blushed beyond crimson for a good half hour after that.
Anyways, Harry noticed that around the picture it said their names and on the eight pieces of the star it had words that, when you read it all the way around, said 'We met, We looked into each other's eyes, And we fell in love (place little heart here)', being broken up so that it was 'We met,' 'We looked' 'into each' 'other's' 'eyes,' 'And we' 'fell in' 'love (place little heart here)'. Harry promptly grabbed Mya and gave her a kiss of thanks.
When they pulled away Cray hit Harry over the head while saying "Down boy!"
Harry gave a foxy grin before opening the last one. It was from every one and looked like a jet black cell phone. He flipped it open to find crimson colored crystal buttons and a silver display screen. He turned it on and the buttons lit up, as did the screen. He looked to his friends.
"Thanks for the cell phone guys."
"It ain't a cell phone Harry." Inuyasha said.
"It's a hell phone." Kagome continued.
"Huh?" He said in confusion.
"It's like the human's cell phones, but it works for and is used by demons. It will even work in a magic saturated area." Cray explained.
"Cool! Thanks guys! This was the best birthday ever, aside from Dumbledore with his letter." Harry exclaimed happily.

Harry looked at the two lockets he now wore. He opened the one from Mya and looked at it.
"You know, this really should say 'We got a whiff of each other' not 'We looked into each other's eyes'." He said with a small laugh as Mya hit him playfully. "Well now that I have been brutally abused by my girlfriend, shall we be on our way? I need to get my school supplies and we can get more Bloody Mint Fudge that seems to disappear way to fast."
R&R please. For the locket from Mya, the star is like the kind on a campus rose on a map, but they are all the same length and there isn't one in front of another. As for the coloring of each 'wing' of the star it is silver, gold, silver gold, silver, gold, silver, gold. So think of a campus rose being three dimensional (with the crystal like shape) and the wings change between silver and gold. Hope that explains it to anyone that doesn't understand.
