They landed in the foyer of Malfoy Manor, Iris stumbled slightly but Klaus grasped onto her arm stopping her from falling, she could hear music coming from the room at the end
"Mistress Potter?"
Iris eyes widened seeing who it was "Winky" she grinned at the house elf "Merlin how are you?"
"Winky is well, but better seeing you" the little female elf grabbed her around the legs and hugged her tight, Iris smiled lightly patting her back
"Is Iris friends with all the little creatures here?" Damon whispered to Stefan who chuckled
"What'd you expect Iris has a big heart" the younger Salvatore murmured back
"So Winky what are you doing here?"
"Iris we have a party to attend can we skip this" Rebekah drawled
"Baby sister has a point" Kol smirked eyeing Iris's behind as the raven head was bending down so she was looking at the elf, Elijah slapped him upside the head
Klaus rolled his eyes and shifted so that he was blocking Kol's view of her
"There you are, what are you doing out here? Come on" Daphne called from the other end
"I'll catch you up" Iris smiled, the others par Klaus left "So Winky why are you working for Malfoy?" she asked
"Oh Winky is working here, Master Malfoy is paying Winky-"
"You're working for money?" the raven head asked surprised at that "when did that happen?"
"Dobby helped Winky realise that we can have more, that we can be happy too, Winky is happy now Mistress" the little elf smiled, Iris felt a pang in her heart at the mention of her lost friend. "Mistress Winky, needs to go attend to other guests"
"Of course" Iris smiled and watched her leave,
"Friend of yours?" Klaus questioned wrapping his arms around her from behind. Dropping a kiss on to her shoulder
"Yes, met her when I was fourteen" she replied turning around so that she could wrap her arms around his neck "forgotten how much I missed her"
He hummed and pressed a kiss on her lips,
"We should get going, a ball/party to attend" Iris smiled and pulled back, he offered his arm and led her to the large ballroom, the raven head eyes widened seeing it, there were candles floating around, the large ballroom, there was a bar to the side, as well as a live band
"The Wicked Sisters?" Klaus questioned as they walked further into the ballroom
"Yep" Iris smiled seeing that Elijah was waving them over, they were gathered around a round table, Klaus took Iris's hand and pulled her over to them
The hybrid pulled her seat out for her "Thank you" she smiled sitting down beside Elijah with Klaus on her other side.
"Everyone if I could have your attention" Blaise called out "Let's all be upstanding to Mr and Mrs Malfoy"
Iris stood up like the others and they all clapped as Astoria and Draco entered the large ball room, there were whistles and cheers, the raven head witnessed the bright smile across Draco's face, something she hadn't seen in a while
"Waiters are coming around with Champaign, so if we could all raise our glasses for Mr and Mrs Malfoy" Narcissa announced with a prideful smile on her face, Klaus handed Iris's a glass of the bubbly drink, she glanced over to the group and saw that they all had a glass
"Mr and Mrs Malfoy" the crowd called and raised their glasses, Iris took a sip and soon enough everyone was sat back down, menus appeared in front of them,
"How'd we order?" Alaric asked not seeing any waiters or a buffet around
Iris hummed and glanced down at the menu, briefly wondering if Draco had used the same method of catering that had been used in the Yule ball; she saw that each meal had a number beside it
"Oh you say what you want out loud look I would like meal number 4" Iris said clearly, within a second her food appeared in front of her, she looked up and saw their baffled faces
"Wow, that's amazing" Caroline uttered with a grin on her face, she picked up her meal "I would like meal number three" and sure enough her meal appeared in front of her.
"This is something" Alaric muttered and took hold of his menu everyone soon followed and began to order their food.
Iris cut into her meat and started to eat, music was being played in the background
"Miss Potter?" Iris glanced over her shoulder
"Mister Dumbledore" she got out of her seat greeting her previous headmaster's brother smiling as she did so, he shook her hand
"It's been a while hasn't it dear" he uttered his bright blue eyes sparkling
"It has" she nodded and heard Klaus clearing his throat "I'd like you to meet some friends of mine, this is Niklaus, Elijah-" and the introductions went around
"Miss Potter it is a pleasure to see you again, you did well girl" he patted her on the back "and I also wanted to say thank you for those words" with that he turned around and left his robe swishing as he did so
"Who was that?" Damon asked "another one of your admirers" he smirked Iris scrunched up her nose
"Ew no" the raven head responded sitting back down beside Klaus, "He was Albus Dumbledore's brother, I met him properly before the final battle" she uttered "he wanted to give up, but a few words were exchanged"
Klaus gently ran the pad of his finger down her arm "this war-"
"Are you ever going to go into detail about it?" Kol asked curious about the petite raven head's past
"What's there to go into detail about? It happened and now it's over" she shrugged looking away
"It's not as simple as that though is it?" a Scottish brogue said from behind her
"Minerva" Elijah greeted the formidable witch
"Elijah, good to see you again" the strict witch uttered but her eyes darted back over to the petite raven head
Iris gulped and smiled "Professor I-"
"Save it Potter, you're lucky I don't boxed your ears" she snapped "On your feet" she ordered, from the corner of her eye she noticed Klaus frowning, she briefly squeezed his hand silently reassuring him, Iris stood up and stepped out so that she was standing in front of her ex-head of house
"Well you're not dead so that's a plus" McGonagall uttered and surprised the raven head and pulled her into a head, Iris responded back "Leave like that again I will make you scrub the whole trophy cabinet in Hogwarts" she hissed into her ear, Iris nodded wide eye
"You're right she is strict" Damon uttered causing the older witch to glance over to them
"Friends of yours Potter?"
"Hmm" she licked her lips, McGonagall sighed and tilted her chin up
"Why the sudden shyness Iris? It wasn't so far back when you were sneaking out in the dead of night after curfew"
"She did what?" Kol asked amused, Iris chuckled
"You haven't told them have you" McGonagall uttered "the whole story-"
"I don't want to tell-"
"Then show them" McGonagall cut her off,
"Professor-"
"Iris you need closure" Klaus spoke this time "then perhaps you won't have any nightmares anymore-"
"I don't need help, I am fine" Iris frowned
"Potter the hybrid is correct you need closure and then perhaps you'll won't be so afraid to return" McGonagall uttered "come to Hogwarts tomorrow and-"
"I can't" Iris violently shook her head "I can't go back their not on my own it's-"
"Who said you'll be going alone?" McGonagall asked and cast a glance over the group "I'm sure your friends will be fascinated to where you spent your time, the place you called home"
"Yes that would be remarkable" Elijah announced wanting to see Hogwarts
"Yay, we can see where Iris use to go school, she said it was a castle" Caroline grinned
"Professor I-"
"Show them your memories Iris, you have nothing to be ashamed of and I think it's wise to show them the whole story" McGonagall uttered
"How are you going to do that?" Stefan asked with a frown on his face "I doubt you can dive into other peoples memory"
"That's where your wrong commoner" Kol drawled
"We have pensive a tool that show memories to others" McGonagall uttered, she tugged Iris slightly closer "Iris at least think about it but come to Hogwarts tomorrow, I know a few professors who are missing you"
The raven head sighed but nodded "Sure, we've got nothing planned tomorrow so—"
"Great be in the entrance hall at noon, I'll see you there-"
"Wait how are we-"
"Really Potter you've got a brain use that" McGonagall smirked with a final nod she turned on her heel and left
"Crap we're going to floo again" Iris muttered sitting back down, she and the others hadn't noticed that Elena had slipped away.
"Cheer up love" Klaus smiled charmingly at her "if you don't want to show us your memories then it's fine-"
"We at least get to see a school where witches and wizards train and learn" Elijah added on comforting her
"Ok, you also get to see Hogsmeade" Iris brightened at that
"What's that?" Alaric asked
"A wizarding village" a new voice entered the scene "host to one of our stores-"
"A brilliant store might I add-"
"Oh that's a hubbub-"
"OK we get it you've got a store, don't need to go around constantly promoting it" Ginny cut the twins off coming up behind them
"Oh Gin, you always happened to-"
"Be around and ruining our-"
"Fun-"George finished off grinning causing some of the group to laugh "so dear, you going to introduce us-"
"Nope, I was hoping that they wouldn't find out about how I and friends with a pair of loons" Iris grinned at them,
"Oh your words hurt us" Fred mimed wiping his tear away
"Is that all?" she feigned disappointment
"Look at how happy she looks" Damon whispered to Stefan, the younger Salvatore nodded, this was the most carefree they had seen the petite raven head
"Seems a good idea for her to come back here"
"You've no idea how right you are" Rebekah pitched in.
"Erm Ms McGonagall?" Elena called out hurrying after the older woman
"Yes?" she replied curtly "you're one of Iris's friend I presume"
Elena shifted and looked away "we're not exactly friends, it's my fault really" the brunette uttered "I just- I can see that you and Iris are close I was wondering if you could have a word to her for me"
McGonagall's lips thinned at that "Why would I be needing to have a word to her?"
"Because I wanted to let her know how sorry I am for what I've done, but she won't hear me out" Elena admitted "can't say I've blame her" the witch saw the defeated look on the young girl's face
"What did you do? I know Iris since she was a child, you must have done something to get such treatment from her" Elena could hear laughter behind her and knew it was Iris and the others
"I didn't care if she died and saw her as another means to an end" she replied shamefaced "and now I've been having nightmares-"
"Listen girl" McGonagall uttered "a simple apology won't do it, you need to feel actual remorse, and when you do, perhaps that isn't enough, you need to know what's she has been through, so maybe you're lucky in that Iris may indulge you in her past."
McGonagall left her on her own, leaving behind a thoughtful doppelganger.
The tables had been pushed to the side leaving the centre of the room opened to dancing, Iris leant against the table and smiled seeing Damon dancing with Ginny, and Elijah was waltzing around with Minerva McGonagall of all people,
"Fancy a dance love?" Klaus purred into her ear, she looked up at him
"Serious? I can't-"
"We had this conversation before sweetheart, so come on" he took her hand and pulled her onto the dance-floor just as a slow song began to play, Klaus pulled her close to his body his arms around her hips, Iris placed her arms around his neck, he nuzzled his nose into her throat causing her to giggle, they swayed to the music
"Hmm so looking forward to tomorrow?" he asked quietly into her ear, kissing the shell of her ear
"In a way I am" Iris murmured pressing herself closer to him, feeling his warmth radiating off of him, the ceiling had been charmed showing the night sky,
"But-" he uttered kissing her soft skin, Iris grazed her finger tips over the back of his neck
"I'm just nervous is all" she murmured, he spun her around causing her to squeak, Iris glanced over his shoulder and saw Stefan and Elena dancing a couple of feet away, the brunette sent her a small smile, Iris returned the gesture but then rested her head against his chest enjoying the moment, unknown to the pair they were being watched.
Iris sighed and sat down resting her feet, she removed her shoes and nearly jumped out of her skin when Damon appeared in front of her
"Demon, what are you doing here?" she asked as the dark haired vampire sat down beside her
"Just came to check on you" he replied "sore feet?" he asked seeing her rubbing her foot
"Understatement, have you seen these shoes?" she asked wryly, he chuckled, and grabbed hold of her feet "What are you-"
"Relax flower" he soothed her and placed her feet on his laps, Iris let out a small moan when he began to massaged them
"Oh that feels good" she murmured, Damon smirked
"I can make you feel good in a load of different ways"
"Ya know, both you and Kol are very pervy, I'm surprised that you and him don't get along" Iris uttered a small smile adorning her face,
"You know we haven't spoken much since we came here" Damon said
"We haven't" she conceded
"Iris I was a completely asshole and a jerk-"
"Amen to that" Alaric called from the other side of the table, downing his drink,
"Yeah refilling glasses of alcohol not one of Draco's smartest moves" the raven head chuckled
"Well as I was saying, I am truly utterly sorry, I thought I was in love with her but I'm not" Damon said Iris followed his gaze and the pair could see Elena and Stefan were laughing and dancing with one another
"I realised that it would always be Stefan" Damon uttered softly, Iris sat forward and removed her feet off of his lap, she took hold of his hand and gave it a small squeeze
"You'll find someone Damon, and when you do you'll happier than you have been in a long time" she leant forward and kissed his cheek, and pulled back
"Thank you Iris, if I hadn't made such a fool of myself and made a complete mess of everything, would you have considered me?" Damon asked quietly
Iris smiled slightly "No" she replied "we're better off as friends, you're like an annoying brother truth be told, I- I've been tied to Klaus for over a thousand years I love him"
Damon smiled "I get that Iris, so friends?"
"Friends" she nodded a grin on her
"And friends dance with one another so?" Damon offered his hand, she nodded and slipped on her shoes, the vampire tugged her onto the dance floor and smiled when he spun her around; Iris placed her hand on to his shoulder and saw Klaus was dancing with Rebekah, Kol was by the drinks with Caroline and Elena
"So Ginny-"
"She's taken Damon" Iris cut him off, "plus she won't do long distance relationships"
"Damn, you English girls are sure lookers though" he smirked cockily, making her laugh. They danced for a couple of minutes before someone interrupted them
"Mind if I interrupt?" Draco drawled
"Sure, I'll see you later Damon" Iris smiled he nodded and kissed her cheek and walked off, Draco took his place
"So getting along with them?" the platinum blond uttered
"I- I feel happy being here" Iris smiled "and we talked" she said, "you've gotten better at this"
"Well I couldn't have my first dance with Astoria without knowing how to actually doing it"
"Remember when McGonagall forced us to demonstrate to the others on how to dance-"
Draco laughed "Yes and I distinctly recall you stomping on my foot"
"You deserved it, you was being a prat" Iris chuckled as he spun her out "Have you seen-"
"Your family? Well your hybrid and his brothers are in the drawing room with some of the others having cigars and whatnot" Draco murmured, "I'll talk to you later"
Iris nodded and turned around she smiled and waved at Mrs Weasley and Mr Weasley, she had greeted them earlier, Iris decided to go and get some fresh-air, the raved head picked up a glass of Champaign and headed out of the hall, Iris picked up the skirt of her dress and climbed up the large grand staircase, bumping into several familiar faces as she did so,
Iris hummed lightly to herself as walked down the hallway. Admiring the moving portraits on the wall, on her last visit to Malfoy Manor she hadn't actually seen the place since she had been hauled into their cellar. Iris spotted the balcony doors to the left side of the corridor, she saw that it was open and slipped outside to enjoy the fresh air, the raven head leant her elbows against the stone balcony and sipped her drink, she chewed her bottom lip briefly wondering how long till it would be before she returned to America, the raven head decided to head back with Klaus, she didn't plan on sticking around here for long, her thoughts wondered over to tomorrow, thinking was it wise to let the others go to Hogwarts, merlin she hadn't even thought of returning there.
Iris knew that she would have to face that haunting place once again, and she was glad that she'll have Klaus with her as well as the others.
She was brought out of her musings hearing the balcony doors shutting, Iris spun around and frowned seeing who was there
"Ron?"
"Hey Iris" he uttered, she didn't like the look on his face "Nice night isn't it"
"Yeah, I'm happy for Draco and Astoria" she murmured her heart rate picked up when he pulled out his wand
"Ron what are you doing?" her voice shook
"Muffatalo" he said and with another flick of his wand the balcony doors slammed shut and locked themselves, "now no one can hear you scream"
Iris eyes narrowed on him "You're not funny, just leave me alone Ron" she snapped and ran past him but he grabbed her wrist and slammed her against the stone balcony causing her to groan.
"Ron get off" she hissed as he pressed his body against hers
"You know what? I don't get it" his hissed Iris could smell the alcohol off his breath, "Look at me" he snapped and grabbed her chin, the raven head winced at the harshness of his grip,
"Ron please" she whispered as he pressed himself even more closer to her, she turned her face away but he pulled her back
"I…we were friends weren't we? answer me" he shook her
"We were-"
"Then what happened? We could have been so good together" he fisted his hand into her raven locks and pulled it harshly causing her to cry out,
"Ron please stop you're hurting me" she gasped as tears rolled down her face
"Well you hurt me fist" Ron shouted "I loved you I did, and then you-"
"I loved you too, but not like that" she felt one of his hands grazing her side
"I was never good enough was I Iris?" he snarled "never good enough, for the famous Iris Potter, I was just her dumb stupid sidekick-"
"You weren't" she uttered getting more panicked "you was my best friend-"
"Then why couldn't you love me" he roared grasping his hand around her throat, Iris managed to elbow him in the gut causing his hold on her to loosen, she slipped out of his hold and ran towards the balcony door, but before she could he tackled her to the ground, Iris grunted since he was much heavier than her
"Ron please don't" she saw the dark look in his eyes, fear ran through her body
"I know why you couldn't love me" he pinned her wrist above her head with one hand "because you Iris Potter can only love a monster, like you did with Volde-"
"I didn't love him" she shrieked, and cried out when he slammed her head against the stone tiled floor. Iris saw stars for a minute
"You can only love monsters, like you freak of a hybrid" he snarled, she felt him coming even closer "so Iris do you have a thing for being bitten-"
"No RON Don't-" she screamed in pain when he plunged his blunt teeth into her throat, Iris writhed beneath him, his hold on her wrist loosen, Iris managed to scratched her nails into his face making him cry out, Iris pushed him off and scuttled backwards holding onto her bloody throat, she felt the warm sticky liquid against her fingers,
"You really haven't changed, always fighting" he growled and surged forward, Iris dived out of the way and ran towards the door, she grasped on the handles and tried to pull them open but all they did was rattled
"No, no, no" she cried and yelped when he grabbed her from behind, Ron shoved her towards the balcony she managed to catch herself but before she could spin around Ron pinned her there
"We could have had it all-"
"I never loved you like that, so get over yourself" she snapped angered at him, "what-what are you doing?" she struggled against him feeling him tearing the laces that tied her dress together at the back
"Something I wanted to do for a long time" he dug his fingers into the material ripping it,
"Ron, please don't-"she cried struggling even more feeling disgust overcoming her "don't do this-" she felt her stomach clench, just then then door handles of the balcony rattle a spark of hope lit in her, she felt Ron freeze, Iris took her chance and elbowed him in the gut and ran towards the door, but he was fast and grabbed her around the waist and shoved her onto the balcony
"Iris?" she could hear someone call, her attention however was focused above her former friend
"Ron please don't" he pushed her down till she was literally on the edge of the balcony the wind blew through the air, he held her by her throat
"Iris Potter the Girl-Who-Lived, let's see if she can survive being dropped from twenty feet above the air-"
"No Ron" Iris screeched trying to grab hold onto something
"Elena what are you doing here?" she heard Stefan on the other side of the balcony doors
"I saw Iris go there, a man followed her- I think she's in trouble" Elena replied
Ron pushed her further back "please Ron-!"
Just then the balcony doors slammed open, there was a loud crack and Ron had disappeared, but not before shoving Iris hard
"IRIS-"Stefan shouted as the raven head was sent tumbling off of the balcony, she screamed loudly
"IRIS" Elena screamed running over to the edge seeing her petite body falling rapidly.
Iris let out and scream as she saw the ground quickly approaching her. The raven head clenched her eyes shut and felt someone grabbing her.
"Iris?" a voice asked worriedly, Klaus had heard the commotion and sped out of the mansion and had witnessed her falling, he had caught her. Iris breathed heavily and sobbed into his chest "What happened?" he asked as Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, Alaric, Damon and Caroline exited the mansion.
"I-I he-, he tried to-"she couldn't get the words out, Klaus could literally feel her body trembling
"Nik look at the back of her dress" Rebekah said quietly, Klaus frowned seeing the furious looks on his brothers, the hunter's and Damon's face. The hybrid looked over Iris's shoulder and felt anger ignite, the back of her dress was torn the laces undone someone obviously had tried to get it off
"Iris who-"
"He's gone, he disappeared" Stefan appeared with Elena
"We should get back to Grimmauld place" Elijah commented "she's bleeding Niklaus" and went to find the host of the party to tell them they would be leaving and to grab a Portkey
Klaus attempted to pry Iris away but she wasn't letting go, "Iris I need to-"
"Let me" Kol commented he moved forwards and pushed aside her hair that had fallen out of her up-do,
"No don't" Iris whimpered burrowing herself further into the hybrid
"Breath love it's only Kol"
"Come on Sweets I won't hurt you" the younger brother uttered and noted that she had scrapes all down her back, Klaus inhaled her scent to try to calm himself, Kol gently brushed aside her hair and was miffed at the wound
"Someone bit her-"
"There's another vampire here?" Alaric asked concerned for the raven head
"No, the only vamps here were us" Damon frowned moving forward
Realisation hit Klaus "Someone bit her, just for the sake of it" he growled but he felt Iris's tears soaking his dress shirt
"Iris who-"
"She's not in a state to be answering questions" Rebekah snapped cutting Caroline off. Damon handed Klaus a napkin, he took it and pressed it against the hole in her throat making her hiss in pain, she weakly tried to push Klaus away from her but he held on tight,
"Iris relax" he murmured into her ear, feeling her body wracking with sobs
"Can we leave?" Caroline asked softly not having a good time anymore, just then Elijah strolled out with Draco on his heels
"Iris" the platinum blond haired man uttered seeing the state of his friend, he rushed over to her side
"What happened?" he asked seeing Iris had calmed somewhat against Klaus
"He-he wanted-he- I-"she couldn't get the words out, and hastily wiped her tears
"A man followed out Iris onto the balcony" Elena piped up "red hair he-"
"Was is Weasley?" Draco snapped, Iris nodded as Klaus kept the napkin on the gash
"Wait that kid in the Alley?" Kol asked a frown marring his face
"I'm going to kill him" Klaus snarled rubbing his hand up and down her back, she stiffened feeling his hand graze the scratches on her back
"He's gone" Stefan said "and I'll doubt we'll be seeing him for a while"
Iris sniffed taking a few breaths in, she wiped her face.
"Let's get out of here" Damon muttered,
"Take care of her" Draco murmured to Elijah handing him a invite, Iris reached out placing her finger on portkey, Klaus wrapped an around her waist. The raven head pressed the napkin against throat
"It's set to go off in ten seconds" Draco called watching as the group gathered around the portkey, he would definitely be telling the rest of the Weasley clan what one of their members had done.
Iris closed her eyes feeling her feet being lifted off of the ground, Klaus's hold on her tighten and soon enough they landed further down the street in the hidden Alley beside Grimmauld place, the raven head stumble slightly but Klaus's grip on her didn't falter. The hybrid took off his jacket and placed it on her frail shoulders seeing that she was shivering,
"Come on I need a drink" Damon muttered leading the way back to the manor
"Hmm, plus we have a long day tomorrow" Elijah commented, the others went ahead whilst Iris and Klaus brought up the rear, she was walking slower than the others still slightly miffed at what happened tonight.
Iris dropped down straight on to the bed exhausted, Klaus sighed and shut the door he kicked off of his shoes and moved over to the bed, he slipped off Iris's shoes,
"Iris you going to undress?" he asked, he received a muffle groan and gritted his teeth, Klaus easily pulled the ruined dress off of her leaving her in her bra and panties, Klaus unbuttoned his shirt and pulled off his pant, he crawled on to the bed and laid down beside her, the hybrid pulled her close to him and positioned her in a way so that her back was flushed against his chest, Klaus bit into his wrist and pressed it against her lips
"Drink it love" he murmured kissing the side of her head, Iris moaned quietly feeling the thick rich liquid travelling her throat, when she had enough Iris pulled away.
"So are you going to tell me what happened?" he asked after a moment of silence
"It's nothing" Iris muttered turning her back on him, Klaus growled and spun her back and straddled her hip
"Iris, you ended up covered in blood and your dress was torn. So tell me" he snarled, Iris breath hitched her eyes glanced away, the hybrid sighed and gently cupped her cheek
"You can tell me, Iris, I'm here for you" he murmured and kissed her blood covered throat, she sighed quietly when his tongue darted out licking the blood off, "Now tell me love who did this?"
Iris bit her bottom lip and nodded, he twisted them around so that she was laying on top of him
"He was my friend" the raven head uttered quietly "he's Ginny's brother, he was in the same year as me when we went to school"
"Hogwarts?"
"Hmm Hogwarts, we'll see that tomorrow" she murmured "he was with me for the whole seven years, but he wasn't always there, but…he fell said he loved me I didn't feel the same and he took it badly, he wanted to know why I was with you and- he just lost it"
"He'll lose something" Klaus snarled
"Klaus" she warned "he's Ginny's brother you can't-"
"I'll do what I like" the hybrid was brimming with anger "You're mine Iris, and if he so much as to lay a finger on you, there'll be nothing you can do to stop me"
Iris pressed her temple against his bare chest
"Just don't, he has a family who'll end up being hurt if you-"
"Fine I won't kill him but he is not getting away with it"
Iris was slightly warmed at that, she never had someone who would go to such extents to take care of her, well she did have Sirius and Remus but they never even had the chance to protect her like this.
The raven head hovered above a scowling Klaus and gently ran her tapered fingers down his face "You'd do that for me?"
"Iris, I'd do anything for you" Klaus admitted "I love you in case you've forgotten" he sat up
"I never had that before" she admitted
"You once did over a thousand years ago" he reached out behind her and gently unclipped her hair letting it fall down in its natural curls
"And I had a loving family" she murmured as moved closer to her, Klaus leant forward to kiss her but the door banged open causing her to yelp and roll off the bed
"You've still got a loving family" Kol grinned
"Damn right you do" Damon yelled he wasn't dumb enough to go into the room like Kol had done
"Don't you bloody knock" Iris shouted
"Lovely colour panties" he winked at her, Klaus growled Kol seeing his brother's face fled, Iris could hear the other Original laughing loudly. Iris stood up hearing the door being shut and jumped when Klaus blurred behind her
"Forget about that insignificant little boy Iris, he is nothing"
Iris looked at him and finally gave in, he was right Ronald Weasley wasn't the nice boy she had met aged eleven.
"Ok" she murmured, Klaus smiled and lightly pushed her onto the bed, she bounced slightly
"Kol was right very nice underwear Miss Potter" Klaus smirked and eyed her predatorily, he felt desire burn in him as she laid back giving him full rein.
"Hmm are you going to show me how much you appreciate them Mister Klaus?" she glided her finger down his chest, causing Klaus's eyes to darken
"Oh, I'll do that Miss Potter" Klaus smirked down at her, and leant down and kissed her hard on the lips, Iris met his lips just as hard, their tongues clashed, Iris moaned when as he lowered himself on her. He pulled back allowing her to breath but his lips didn't stop, he peppered her throat and jaw with kisses,
"Klaus" she whispered breathlessly as he lips travelled down her collar bone, sucking and biting her soft flesh, Iris's hands roaming his back she could feel his muscles moving beneath his skin, the hybrid placed one of his knees in between her legs, she arched her back when he lightly bit down on her shoulder, his teeth grazed over her bra strap, and tugged it down, peppering her skin with kisses.
"You remember what I said Iris?" Klaus asked pulled her up he unsnapped her bra
"Hmm" she gasped as he mouth moved against her breast
"What did I say Iris?"
"He's nothing" the raven head whimpered when he brushed his fingers against her panties.
"You're right" his fangs elongated and unlike Ron, Klaus gently sank the into her delicate throat, she felt pleasure hum through her when he did that.
Iris hummed and woke up, she slowly blinked clearing her hazy vision away, she was entangled in sheets, with Klaus wrapped around her, she shifted ever so slightly and froze when the hybrid groaned,
"Iris go back to sleep" he mumbled tugging her back to him
"Unlike you I haven human tendencies-"her lips thinned, he opened one eye when his hold didn't relinquish she sighed "I have to pee, ok?" her cheeks were flushed pink, she slapped his chest hearing him chuckle
"Go on then love" Iris slid from the bed and grabbed her robe; she pulled on the thin material and padded barefooted into the bathroom. Iris hurriedly used the bathroom and then proceeded to brush her teeth, leant against the counter and zoned out to last night's event, and felt a shiver going down her spine recalling what Ron had done, he had scared her, more than scared her Iris wasn't going to lie, but he had put things in perspectives he was no longer her friend, she was surprised at how angered the others had gotten. The raven head was brought back to reality when she felt hands grasped her waist
"Pennies for your thoughts love?" Klaus purred into her ear, Iris placed her toothbrush back in its holster
"My thoughts are worth more than a penny" Iris smirked; he chuckled and dropped a kiss onto her silk clad shoulder.
"Right you are love" his hand slid under her robe causing her to gasp "how about I make it up to you? Preferably in the claw foot tub?"
"Is that more for your benefit or mine?" she breathed and licked her lips when he tugged the fabric that tied her robe together
"Both of ours" he kissed her throat, merlin that man knew how to work his lips "You had promised me Iris"
Iris spun around his hold and leant her body against his "You're right I did, and it would be dreadful of me to go back on my word" she kissed his cheek. Iris watched as Klaus blurred towards the tub and turned the faucet on, whilst it was being filled, the very horny hybrid blurred back towards her and kissed her hungrily on the mouth,
"Klaus I can't I'm-"
"I know sweetheart" he pressed his lips against her, they moved in sync, they stumbled towards the full tub and he tugged her robe off so that the material pooled at her feet.
Klaus stepped into her tub and without further ado he pulled her in causing the water to slosh around on and tipped over the edge of the tub.
Iris sighed looking through her closet she had managed to persuade Klaus to let her go and get ready for the day since it was nearing nine in the morning, and she had wanted to take the group to Hogsmeade before their visit to Hogwarts.
The raven head rummaged through the closet and opted to wear a simple knee length midnight blue dress, it was long-sleeved and appropriate for this weather, she slipped it on and pulled on a pair of tights, Iris crouched down and dug out her chocolate brown ankle boots, she brushed her hair and decided to leave it out.
Iris headed downstairs
"Morning Iris" Stefan greeted her coming out from his room that was a floor below her
"Morning" she smiled at him
"So are you ok? After last night, you was pretty shook up" the vampire had been concerned for her
"Yes, Klaus took care of me" she nodded they walked the rest of the way to the kitchen in confortable silence, Iris entered the kitchen and wasn't surprised to see Elijah and Klaus already there
"Morning Iris" Elijah uttered and gestured for her to sit down, he poured her some tea whilst Klaus dropped down beside her and placed some food in front of her
"So how'd you sleep"? Kol smirked coming into the room, Iris resisted the urge to throw her plate at the cocky Original
"Perfectly fine" she uttered glaring at him; he laughed and sat down opposite him "so are we going to have fun?"
"Huh?" Iris quirked an eyebrow
"Well Sweets you're not really thinking we would let that bloke get away with what he did last night?" he scoffed "he may be your friend-"
"Ex-friend" she spoke over him
"Ex-friend, but he messed with one of our Sweets and-"
"You're not killing him" the raven head shook her head "you're not"
"Why not?" Damon snapped hearing what she had just said
"Because it will devastate his family" she replied taking a bite of her toast "plus Klaus promised me"
"Klaus you-"
"I did, but if we cross paths with him again by all means go ahead, but no killing" Klaus uttered, Iris sent him a small smile
"Spoil sport" much to her amusement Kol pouted and threw a plate across the room, just managing to avoid hitting a sleepy Alaric.
"Iris" Caroline blurred into the room "have you got any tampons-"
"Care you're a vampire-"
"No not for me" the blond uttered rolling her eyes "Elena, she ran out and I-"
"Well I don't have any here in the house" Iris stood up, "they sell some down the shop-"
"Great I'll go-"
"No Care, its fine I need some fresh air" Iris shook her head
"Wait I'll come to love-"
"Klaus I'll be five minutes" she assured him and kissed him on the cheek
"Relax Niklaus, Iris will be fine" Elijah added, the raven head sent him a grateful look
"Fine" Klaus uttered not at all happy "If anything happens, just-"
"Scream really loud, we'll hear you" Damon finished off, Iris nodded and left. She ran upstairs to grab her jacket and some cash
"Iris?" Elena called "Is there-"
"Yeah hold on for a couple of minutes" she told her, the brunette nodded and closed the bedroom door.
Iris roamed the aisles and picked out a few added things extra
"I haven't seen you before"
"Oh, I'm just visiting" the raven head replied watching as the man bagged her items
"Staying for long?" he asked making conversation
"Not too sure yet, visiting family, nothing ever goes to plan when family is involved"
The man laughed "Isn't that the truth, that'll be £3.89"
Iris handed him a five pound and grabbed the bag "Keep the change" she called over her shoulder exiting the store
"Thanks lass" she heard him say, Iris smiled and shook her head, she bumped into someone dropping her bag, both her and the person she had bumped into bent down to pick it up
"Thanks and sorry for that" she uttered standing up,
"Iris?" a familiar voice questioned, her eyes widened seeing who it was
"Jeremy?" she questioned softly "what are you doing here?"
AN: So there you have it, The reception took place, Ron showed his dark side but now he got a group of vampires and a hunter on his trail, McGonagall invited them to Hogwarts, and a surprising visitior at the end
