Chapter 63

Last Time:

"Welcome to a new year students, and it's nice to see familiar and non-familiar faces. Now, I know many of you are wondering where the Headmaster is and his daughter" McGonagall sends a knowing look at the Golden Trio, "Professor Dumbledore and Alex Dumbledore are currently gone away until January. They have family business, and Professor Dumbledore may pop up here and there, but it will be for important matter..." McGonagall trails off and Dumbledore pops in, and rushes to Hagrid, "just like this"

Hermione, Ron and Harry stare at Dumbledore and see a worried face. They see his mouth moving nonstop until he disappears and leaves a nervous looking Hagrid.

"I wonder what is going on" Harry whispers to Hermione and Ron, who nods in agreement.

Now:

As Elijah arrives home the next day, he sees Zoe (also known as Esther), Finn (less evil then Klaus), Klaus, Kol and Rebekah.

"What's going on?" Elijah asks. He hears something behind him and sees... Mikael, his father, "father" Elijah bows slightly, before looking at him.

"Good morning Elijah. Niklaus" Mikael glares at Klaus, who fidgets.

"Sir" Klaus looks at Zoe and Mikael glares at her.

"You are trying to destroy a lovely family Esther, if that is even your name" Mikael snaps. Elijah does a happy dance in his mind, happy that his father is also against his mother like he is.

"My real name is Esther, Mikael. You know that" Zoe starts.

"I don't know who you are anymore Esther" Mikael cuts her off, "you had an affair on me and brought Niklaus in the world. You have another affair and get married to the greatest and most powerful wizard in the world. Who else are you with?"

"No one"

"Then why are you trying to destroy Albus Dumbledore and Alex Dumbledore?"

"So I can get my powers back! That kid has all my powerful magic. When she was born, some of my powers went inside her!"

"How do you get them back? You have to kill her? Torture her?"

"I have to kill her and Albus to get them back"

"Why do you have to kill Albus?"

"As long as he is alive, Alex cannot be killed" Elijah looks at Zoe in shock. He notices Rebekah's, Finn's, Klaus' and Kol's shocked faces. He looks at Mikael and sees him not even fazed.

"I will not help you Esther. I am not going to allow you to do this either. I am going to protect them. I know for a fact that Elijah doesn't like this either. If he wishes, he can come with me and protect them. Just so you know Niklaus..." Mikael turns to Klaus, "Stefan and Damon Salvatore are not dead. They are at the house with Elena, Jeremy, Jenna, Albus and Alex. Same with Katherine" Mikael turns to Elijah, "would you like to be on this side Elijah or help me?"

Elijah smiles.

"I'm on your side father" Elijah tells him. Mikael grins.

"Anyone else?" Kol stands up and stands next to Elijah.

"I'm on your side father" Kol tells him.

"Me too" Rebekah walks over, "and before you say anything father, I am going to apologise to Alex"

"Good" Mikael looks at Zoe, Klaus and Finn, who are all just sitting there, "Finn, what about you?"

"I'm staying" Finn glares, "This is war"

Mikael nods.

"I wouldn't have it any other way"

And just like that, Rebekah, Elijah, Kol and Mikael leave, and know they will have to get the werewolves and other vampires on their side before the war arrives.

~A&H~

Alex and Dumbledore are sitting on the couch with Elena, Jeremy and Jenna next to them. Mikael, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol are sitting in front of them on the other couch.

Rebekah already apologised, and Alex accepted it.

"So Zoe or Esther, whatever, is going to try to kill both me and Alex?" Dumbledore asks.

"Yes. It's going to be a war" Mikael tells him as Katherine, Stefan and Damon stares at them, "I think you and Alex should take Elena, Jeremy and Jenna to Hogwarts, since it is the safest place in the world. Us vampires will go and recruit other vampires and werewolves" Dumbledore nods.

"I will send Hagrid to go and get the giants that fought with us for the war last year against Voldemort. I will also call in the Order and I am sure Alex will get her friends to call in the DA" Dumbledore tells Mikael with a smile. Mikael smiles back.

"You, Alex and your school will never get a break, will you? You had a war last year against Voldemort, and now the war against Esther" Alex bites her lip and looks at Elijah. Elijah and Alex stares at each other, before he moves forward and hugs her.

"We will protect you and your father Alex. Neither of you will get hurt" Alex hugs Elijah back, feeling the sibling bond growing.

~H&A~

Morning arrives, and Dumbledore waved his wand, making everything pack and pop up at Hogwarts. Once the house is completely bare, Jenna, Elena, Jeremy, Alex and Dumbledore heads to Hogwarts. Mikael nods at the other vampires and they begin their mission. Get vampires and werewolves to join their side. Stefan and Damon said that they will go and get witches that they know.

At Hogwarts, the family lands in Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore flicks his wand at the wall, revealing 3 separate bedrooms with their names on the doors. Alex knows she will be staying in her dorm with Hermione.

"Those rooms are for you" Dumbledore tells Elena, Jenna and Jeremy. They nod and Dumbledore and Alex both flick their wands, making everything unpack for the bedrooms.

Once that is done, everyone heads to their rooms to go to bed. Alex rubs her eyes and hugs Dumbledore. Dumbledore knows Alex had nightmares all night, and didn't get much sleep. After all, he is the same way.

"Let's get you to bed" Dumbledore whispers leading Alex to his bed. He lifts the covers and tucks her in. He walks to his desk that is in front of his bed. He begins to write a letter to send to Molly and Arthur Weasley.

~A&H~

A few hours later, Alex awakes and heads to the great hall for lunch. As she arrives to the great hall, she is stopped by a blonde haired boy. She looks up to see Draco Malfoy.

"What would you like Malfoy?" Alex asks truthfully exhausted.

"I have feeling for you Alex. I like you more than a friend should. I know we are barely friends, but during the battle last year, and I found out you died, my heart broke. I know you are in love with Harry, but I rather be your friend then nothing at all" Malfoy tells her. Alex stares into his eyes to see them full of truth, "just know, if Harry hurts you at all, he will answer to me"

Alex smiles and nods.

"Thank you Draco" Malfoy pulls Alex to him and hugs her, "you said Harry's name twice, instead of Potter" Malfoy laughs.

"You said my name instead of Malfoy"

"Would you like me to call you Malfoy?"

"No. I like my name" Alex rolls her eyes and laughs lightly.

"Would you like to sit with me, Harry, Ron and Hermione?"

"Sure. Did you know they people who never got to finish their final year last year, are here this year?"

"Really?"

"Ya. Neville is here, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, and others" Alex rolls her eyes when he said Pansy's name.

"I hate Parkinson" Alex mumbles under her breath. Malfoy holds back a laugh, knowing he wasn't supposed to hear that.

As they arrive to the Gryffindor table, Alex sits at her normal seat and Malfoy sits down next to her. They begin to fill their plates waiting for Hermione, Harry and Ron to arrive from their class.

~H&A~

Hermione, Harry and Ron walk into the great hall and sees Malfoy at their table with a brunette. Harry sees the familiar hair and rushes over.

"Ally!" Harry hugs her. Alex laughs and hugs Harry back.

"Nice to see you again Harry" Alex grins. Harry sits on his girlfriend's left allowing Hermione and Ron to hug her before sitting down across from them.

"Welcome back Ally" Hermione and Ron says at the same time. They all hear someone clear their throat. They turn to the high table to see Dumbledore standing up.

"What's going on Ally?" Hermione asks.

"Dad will be explaining" Alex whispers softly, looking down at her food, all of a sudden feeling sick. She stands up but ends up getting pulled down by Malfoy and Harry.

"Hogwarts is in danger once more. But the enemy is after two people, neither including Harry Potter this time" Dumbledore tells the school, "the enemy is after me and... my daughter"

Whispers and angry voices are heard.
