Iris sighed and rolled over, she had got out of dinner early was stuffed, to be truthful the raven head just wanted some time alone, the others par the Originals were talking about what they had just witnessed, Iris internally wondered if this how they reacted to the first year, she was definitely in for it for the next couple of years. She had changed into a pair of shorts and a camisole.
Iris was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the door opening, she felt the bed dip in weight, she rolled over and smiled seeing it was Elijah who had changed out of his impeccable suit into a pair of lounge pants and a shirt
"What's wrong little one?" he asked lying back on the fluffy pillows,
"Nothing" Iris muttered and squeaked he grabbed her around the waist and tugged her towards him so that now she was resting her against his chest
"I know when you're lying so tell me" the dark haired Original murmured,
"I just wanted a moment by myself" she told him tilting her head up so that she could look at him in the face
"Time to reflect?" he asked
"Not really, it's just been a long day" the raven head snuggled in his arms and let out a yawn "you know Elijah…." Her voice was slightly slurred due to her exhaustion "things don't get any better…." He glanced down at her and saw that her eyelids were drooping "so…don't lecture me….or-"
"I only will have a go at you when you're doing something completely foolish-"
She groaned "It happened already so….-"
"Hmm so it has, but I'm still going to have a go, I care for you, love you even. So don't take it to hard when I do" when he received no response he looked down and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that she was fast asleep. He smiled and carefully extracted himself away from her and gently lifted her up so he could pull the covers over her small form. Elijah pressed kiss to her temple and ran the back of his knuckles against her smooth cheek.
"Brother what are you doing?" Klaus asked leaning against the doorway "you are aware-"
"She's mine to take care of too Niklaus" Elijah uttered
"And I know that" Klaus murmured, knowing that his little Iris did in fact belong to the Originals. Elijah nodded it was getting late so he was heading towards his own room.
The hybrid shut the door behind him and stripped out of his clothes leaving him in his boxers, he crawled onto the large bed, and slid into the covers, Iris instinctively turned towards him and snuggled into his chest
"Klaus?" she asked groggily
"Right here, love, go to sleep" he kissed her gently on the lips and pulled the covers over them, she soon drifted off to slumber land.
Iris stepped out of the massive bath-tub leaving behind a very smug hybrid
"Really Klaus? Stop with the smiling it can be creepy when you do it too much" Iris uttered wrapped a towel around herself and turned around to face him
"What can I say love? You always put me in a good mood" she moved towards him and kissed him slowly on the lips, and ran her fingers through his thick hair "I'll catch you later" she pecked him on the cheek and dodged his hand when he tried to tug her into the bathroom. The raven head giggled hearing Klaus groan, she headed into the bedroom and pulled open dresser and slipped on a forest green lacy bra and matching panties.
She then proceeded to rummage through the wardrobe and opted to wear a navy blue floral skirt and a cream coloured top, she brushed her hair and tied it up into a ponytail. She slipped on her shoes and headed into the kitchen.
"So what's for, Merlin porridge who decided porridge?" Iris called out glaring at the oat treat sitting on the table
"Really Iris? Do you have an aversion for something healthy?" Elena asked a smile on her lips, the tension between the two had girls had lessen but that was all
"No, I just would've preferred it if Elijah made pancakes" she muttered and sat down beside Stefan "you know what I think I'll just have tea and-"
"Nope" Elijah cut her off "here eat all of this" he instructed and placed a bowl in front of her
"Ergh" Iris gagged but stopped when she saw the look she was getting from the dark haired Original
"Tough luck sweets" Kol smirked, Iris glared at him and started to eat
"My god Iris you look like you're being tortured" Jeremy chuckled scarfing down the food making Caroline gagged
"Serious Jere? You do get fed" Caroline muttered causing Iris to snort, she jumped when there was a sudden tug of her curl
"Kol" she frowned at him, he blew her a kiss and took the vacant seat beside her, or was about to but Klaus shoved him off making him land on his ass
"Klaus" Kol growled
"What?"
"Enough" Rebekah cut in, just as Alaric, Damon and Stefan came into the room
"So Iris, what should we be expecting?" the hunter asked sitting down and poured himself a mug of coffee
"Well we left off when-"
"You was in hospital" Stefan said, causing Klaus to frown
"Ah right, so we're probably going to move onto my second year" Iris nodded
"Is it gonna be boring?" Damon asked, Iris snorted causing them all to look at her
"It's hardly going to be boring, but I'm thinking that you guys might wish it to be" the raven head said, and finished off her tea
"And what does that exactly mean?" Rebekah asked narrowing her eyes on the petite teen
"Erm…well….it's just stuff happened, and I'm not to blame" she stammered,
"I don't buy that" Kol scoffed
"You're not the only one" Alaric muttered shaking her head finishing off his mug of coffee
"So everyone eaten? Then we can leave" Caroline said standing up
"Iris's hasn't finished her porridge-"
"I can have it later" the raven head spoken over Kol, glaring at the Original as she did so
"I don't think so love" Klaus tutted and scooped up a spoonful off porridge and shoved it as gently as he could into her mouth, he was amused to see the disgusted look on her face
"That was vile" Iris muttered she and Klaus were bringing up the rear, they were heading towards the office
"I'll make it up to you sweetheart2 Klaus smirked down at her, Iris rolled her eyes and picked up her pace
"Really?" she asked "and how are you going to do that?"
"Well it involves me an you being naked-"
"Does it always have to come down to sex?" she asked, he sense there was something more and glanced down at her
"Or better yet we can lay down and do nothing, or play chess, whatever you want love" he told her making a smile come across her face
"Thank you, I'd like that" she said quietly,
"Anything for you Iris" he said sincerity in his tone, she saw that the others had entered the office so it was only her and the hybrid, she spun around and stood on her tippy toes and kissed him on the lips, Klaus hummed feeling her nipping his bottom lip. She gasped when he pinned her to the wall, and splayed his hand on her hip, his hand sliding across her stomach, she moaned quietly when pulled back but his lips didn't stop, he nipped her neck and jaw laying kisses and sucking on her soft skin
"Hey, we are waiting" Kol called from the office, causing Iris to shove Klaus back but he stumbled
"Shit sorry" Iris felt her cheeks heat up "we-"
"Finish this off later" the hybrid eyes had darkened in lust, Iris stepped into the office with Klaus close on her heels
"Did we interrupt?" Damon smirked, Iris shook her head and took her usual spot around the pensive "because I think I hear-"
"Shut up Damon, Stefan did you know your brother-"
"Ok, ok let's go" the elder Salvatore spoke over her, she grinned and waved, "on the count of three-"
"So wait you're not going to tell us what Damon was-" Jeremy got a smack on the back of his head making him yelp
"Can we get a move on?" Rebekah drawled tapping her foot
"Right on the count of three" Elijah spoke silencing everyone, Iris grasped on to Klaus's hand, he rubbed his thumb across the back of her knuckles, she knew what was coming but it didn't make it easier, her second year had been hectic, Iris cringed wondering what their reaction would when they would see her battle a basilisk.
"One, two, three" with that the group dived into the pensive.
Iris gasped and stumbled when they had landed
"We're at your relatives" Alaric muttered recignising your house "are they-"
"They don't touch after my first year, they're too scared or disgusted" Iris murmured licking her lips, that was true the Dursleys hadn't physically harmed her after she had returned from her first year at school
"Ergh he's annoying" Jeremy muttered seeing the whale of the man that was Iris's uncle, the large man was going red in the face
"Third time this week" Vernon roared across the table at little Iris "if you can't control that owl. It'll have to go"
"She's bored" little Iris said, Klaus could see that the past girl was frustrated "She's used to flying around outside. If I could just let her out at night"
"Do I look stupid?" the man barked
"Dick, is that meant to be rhetorical question?" Damon scoffed shaking his head at the man.
Elena saw little Iris opening her mouth, no doubt to retort but she was cut off by Dudley who let out a belch
"He's disgusting" Caroline muttered
"They all are, filthy humans" Kol spat
"I want more bacon" Dudley called out
"And that proves my point" Kol nodded a smirk on his lips, Klaus wrapped an arm around Iris's shoulders pulling her close to him
"There's more in the frying pan, sweetums" said Petunia "we must feed you up while we got the chance…I don't like the sound of that food…."
"Is she serious?" Rebekah asked her eyebrows shooting to her hairline "he's fat enough-"
"And he doesn't look like he's been starving" Stefan commented grossed out by the sight of the boy
They watched as the large boy turned to little Iris
"Pass the frying pan"
"You've forgotten the magic word" little Iris said irritably
The group was stunned by the reaction, they saw Dudley gasping and fall off of his chair, the woman let out a little scream and clapped her hands to her mouth, and the large man jumped on to his feet
"I meant Please" little Iris cried out "I didn't mean-"
"WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU" thundered her uncle "ABOUT SAYING THE 'M' WORD IN OUT HOUSE?"
"Holy shit, over reaction much" Jeremy scowled his muscles had stiffened,
"Remarkable how mankind are utterly ignorant" Elijah eyes had darkened and his jaw was tense, Iris felt Klaus tensing behind her, she grasped his hand running her tapered fingers over his large strong hand. Damon scoffed seeing Vernon pounding his fist on the table
"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN DUDLEY?"
"I'd gladly show what a real threat is" Kol uttered a dark look crossing his face.
"I just-"
"I WARNED-"
"Give the girl a chance to speak" Klaus said through gritted teeth, his hate towards Iris's family igniting even more
"-YOU, I WILL NOT TOLERATE MENTION OF YOUR ABNORMALITY UNDER THIS ROOF!"
"Abnormality? Magic is gift" Rebekah snapped "pathetic human can't even see that" and saw little Iris attempting to calm the situation down.
"All right, alright" little Iris muttered looking down at the table, Elena was marvelled at this, thinking on it the doppelganger realised how strong the raven head was, since she had to put up with those people who were her blood relatives.
"Wait why did they lock your owl up?" Caroline asked Iris
"Because they didn't want me to have any contact with the magical world-"
"So they locked you school stuff away as well?" Elijah murmured, she nodded
"It's locked up in the cupboard under the stairs, they gave me my own room last year" Iris informed them.
"Now we all know today is a very important day" Vernon said, Klaus didn't miss the look on little Iris's face
"Iris what's with the face?" Kol asked
"It was my birthday and I thought they were going to do something, it was a stupid idea" Iris mumbled and sighed feeling Klaus's hand caressing the skin on the back of her neck she focused back on to the scene
"This could well be the day I make the biggest deal of my career" said Vernon
"Prick, doesn't even know it's his niece's birthday" Damon scoffed, Stefan sighed and shook his head, no wonder Iris's seems to occasionally have a lack in self-worth. He saw little Iris going back to much on her toast
"I think we should run through the schedule one more time, we should all be in position at eight o'clock, Petunia you will be-"
"You've got to be kidding me" Caroline uttered "They got a schedule? Ergh freaky people"
"In the lounge, waiting to welcome them graciously to our home-"
"Does she even know what welcoming is?" Jeremy snorted looking at the horse-like woman
"Good and you, Dudley?"
"If they don't want to frighten their guest off, they should lock him away" Rebekah drawled causing Iris's lips to twitch in amusement
"I'll be waiting to open the door" said Dudley
"Ergh now that would definitely frighten them away" Alaric snorted
"May I take your coats Mr and Mrs Mason?"
"They'll love him" cried Petunia
"Your aunt is seriously deluded Iris" Klaus whispered into her ear, he had kept his arm around her waist
"And you?" asked Vernon rounding on little Iris
"Arsehole, he doesn't need to speak to you like that" Kol spat, "I'm so going to enjoy hunting him down"
They watched the little raven head "I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I'm not there"
"Wait on your birthday, you had to pretend not to exist?" Elena asked horrified, Iris merely shrugged
"Exactly, I will lead them in the lounge, introduce you, Petunia, and pour them drinks at eight fifteen-"
"I'll announce dinner" said Petunia
"And Dudley you'll say-"
"May I take you through the living room, Mrs Mason?" said Dudley, Rebekah had a look of disgust on her face seeing the boy offering his fat arm
"And I thought the dinner parties I organised were screwed up" Damon muttered
"Technically, no one here, gets killed or have their hand burned" Iris uttered
"Pity" to her surprise it was Elijah who said that
"My perfect little gentleman" sniffed Petunia
"Is she on crack or something? Is this whole family are? No sane people would act like this" Jeremy said his eyes wide, Iris was right her relatives were screwed up.
"And you?" said Vernon viciously towards the small girl
"I'll be in my room, making no noise and pretending I'm not there" she said dully
"Please tell me you don't have to say that again" Caroline murmured
"I think once more" she replied casually, Klaus sighed and rested his chin atop her head hugging her close
"Precisely, now we should aim to get a few good compliments at dinner, Petunia any ideas?"
"Vernon, tells me you're a wonderful golfer, Mr Mason….do tell me where you brought your dress, Mrs Mason…."
"Perfect Dudley?"
"How about 'We had to write an essay about our heron at school, Mr Mason and I wrote about you-"
With that the group descended into laughter, Klaus saw little Iris ducking down beneath the table, he could hear her belle like laugher
"Aw, that's funny" Alaric uttered "has he even met the man before?"
"Nope" Iris grinned
"Well then that makes no logical sense" Elijah shook his head
"Duh, in case you forgot brother, these are lowly dim-witted humans, so to them this does make sense" Rebekah commented brushing a stray lock behind her ear
"And you girl?"
"Does he ever say your name?" Stefan frowned
"I'll be in my room, making no noise and pretending I'm not there" past Iris said.
"Too right you will" said Vernon said, the group tensed seeing the large man baring down on the little girl "The Masons don't know anything about you and it's going to stay that way-"
"Should count yourself lucky Iris, you don't want to be associated with these kinds of people" Caroline sniffed disdainfully
"Right I'm off to town, to pick up the dinner jackets for Dudley and me, and You-"
"Prick" Damon scoffed seeing the man once again turning towards little Iris
"-you stay out of your aunt's way while she's cleaning"
They watched as little Iris left through the back door, the group followed after her since they had to keep pace with her
"Happy birthday to me….happy birthday to me…" little Iris sang softly to herself
"Iris-"
"We are so going to throw you a huge party after this" Rebekah declared, she was annoyed at the pathetic humans
"Erm not my birthday Bekah"
"And?" Caroline rolled her eyes "It's still going to be a party"
They saw little Iris dropping to the ground under a tree, she was staring up at the branches,
"Wait, there's another heartbeat" Elijah murmured, the vampires tensed, yes they could hear in fact hear another heartbeat "You're being watched"
"Why does something always dangerous happened to you?" Klaus hissed hugging her tighter and saw that little Iris had also gotten the feeling of being watch
"Look" Jeremy muttered looking up where the little raven head was staring "all I can see is eyes" the past Iris sat bolt upright and then jumped to her feet when her fat cousin appeared
"Ergh he's here" Kol muttered
"I know what day it is" said Dudley
"That's disturbing" Caroline uttered seeing the obese boy waddling over to the little raven head
"What?" said little Iris
"I know what day it is" the boy repeated
"Well done" said the past Iris "so you've finally learned the days of the week"
Elijah smirked at that, seems young Iris was quick-witted as ever.
"Today's your birthday" sneered Dudley, making the group par Iris wanted to punch his face in "How come you haven't got any cards? Haven't you got friends at that freak place?"
"Little shit" Jeremy muttered
"Why aren't you getting mail from your friends?" Elena asked confused
"You'll find out later" she explained to her. And focused back onto the scene
"Better not let your mum hear you talking about my school" said little Iris coolly
"Why are you staring up at the tree?" he asked suspiciously
"I'm trying to decide what would be the best spell to set it on fire" said little Iris, causing the group to snicker and even more-so when they saw the fat boy stumbling backwards with a look of panic across his face
"You c-can't- Dad told you you're not to do-m-magic- he said he'll chuck you out of the house-and you haven't got any friends to take you-"
"Jiggery pockery" said little Iris in a fierce voice "hocus pocus, squiggly wiggly-"
"MUUUUUM" howled Dudley
"Oh my god" Caroline breathed and burst out into laughter
"He's such a dumb shit" Damon laughed shaking his head "nice going little flower-"
"Really with the nick-names?" Iris asked a smile adorned her lips, the raven head vampire nodded.
The scene shifted so now that they landed in past Iris's bedroom
"What the hell?" Alaric muttered recognising what appears to be a house-elf sitting on little Iris's bed, Klaus ears perked up hearing light footsteps coming down the hall, he knew that past Iris was in for a surprise, she opened the door and stepped in to the room,
"Whoa, took it better than I thought" Caroline muttered seeing the little girl forcing back a cry of shock "I would have screamed"
"Now this looks fun" Kol smirked seeing little Iris and the house-elf staring at one another
"Out of curiously was this the first time you saw a creature like this?" Elijah asked
"Yep" Iris murmured a pang went through her heart seeing her lost friend, Klaus glanced down and could tell that something was wrong, he gently graze the tips of his fingers against the apple of her cheek
"Er-hello" said little Iris nervously
"Iris Potter" said the creature, Stefan winced slightly hearing the high pitched voice "so long Dobby has wanted to meet you Miss…such an honour it is…."
"Th-thank you" said the little raven head, Klaus was amused to see her edging around the room and then sank down on the wooden chair "Who are you?" she asked
"Dobby Miss, just Dobby, Dobby the house-elf-"
"Dobby?" Klaus asked looking down at the petite raven head, she grimly nodded, Klaus's hold tighten on her, he had recalled that night, where she sobbed in his arms, she was muttering that name, he knew something must've happened to the magical creature, he sighed and laid a kiss on her temple
"Oh-really?" said the past Iris "er-I don't want to be rude or anything, but this isn't a great time for me to have a house-elf in my bedroom"
Damon snorted "Understatement, look like you have another little admirer Iris"
Iris rolled her emerald orbs,
"Oww" Caroline wince hearing Petunia, obvious fake high pitch laughter, she saw the elf hang his head
"Not that I'm not pleased to meet you" said the small girl "but, er. Is there any particular reason you're here?"
"Good question" Elijah commented briefly wondering why a little magical creature was in a suburban street
"Oh yes, Miss" said Dobby earnestly "Dobby has come to tell you Miss…it is difficult Miss….Dobby wonders where to begin…."
"From the beginning?" Kol suggested, making Rebekah mutter 'smartarse' "and does he always refer to himself in third person?" Iris smiled and shook her head
"Sit down" said little Iris politely
"Holy fuck" Alaric muttered when the house burst out into tears , very noisy tears
"Oh my god shut him up" Jeremy muttered worriedly
"S-sit down" the elf wailed "never….never ever…."
Klaus ears perked up, the voices down stairs faltered slightly
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything"
"Offend Dobby" it choked "Dobby has never been asked to sit down, by a witch-like an equal-"
"Crap, he doesn't get treated well does he?" Stefan asked, Iris shook her head
"You can't have met many decent witches or wizards then?" little Iris offered trying to cheer the elf up, Dobby shook his head , then without warning, he leapt ip and started banging his head furiously on the window, shouting 'Bad Dobby, Bad Dobby"
"This is the weirdest thing I've seen" Damon muttered,
"Well then you really are in for a surprise later" the raven head muttered, and watched as her past self hissing at the elf
"Don't-what are you doing?"
"This isn't good" Rebekah drawled seeing now that the owl was hooting wildly
"Dobby has to punish himself Miss" said the elf, Elena could see that it had gone slightly cross-eye "Dobby almost spok ill of his family Miss…"
"Your family?" the small girl asked
"The wizard family Dobby serves, Miss….Dobby is a house-elf bound to serve one house and one family forever…."
"Aw" Caroline frowned she could see that he was mistreated by his so called 'family'
"Do they know you're here?" little Iris asked, Elijah could see that curiousity was brimming from her
"On no Miss…Dobby will have to punish himself most greviously for coming to see you, Miss. Dobby wi;; have to shit his ears in the oven door for this, if they ever knew Miss-"
"But won't they notice is you shut your ears in the oven door?"
"Dobby doubts it, Miss. Dobby is always having to punish himself for something Miss. They let Dobby get on with it, Miss. Sometimes they reminds me to do extra punishments…."
"They sound vile" Rebekah frowned, the others were equally as disturbed at this
"But why don't you leave? Escape?"
"A house-elf must be set free Miss. And the family will never set Dobby free…Dobby will serve the family until he dies, Miss"
"Shit" Jeremy muttered saddened for the elf and shocked, little Iris thought the same as she simply just stared at the creature
"And I thought I was hard-done by staying here for another four weeks" she said "this makes the Dursleys sound almost human, can't anyone help you? Can't I?"
"Iris you are hard done by" Klaus growled "the way they treat you isn't right-"
"I know" Iris muttered
"Whoa" Elena muttered seeing the elf burst into tears,
"Please" little Iris whispered frantically
"Shut the little thing up" Kol muttered under his breath
"-please be quiet, if the Dursleys hear anything, if they know you're here…." Jeremy shuddered at the thought of her relatives discovering the little magical creature in Iris's room.
"Iris Potter asks if she can help Dobby…Dobby has heard of your greatness, Miss, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew…."
"Whatever you heard about my greatness is a load of rubbish-"
"Is not" Damon said in a sing song voice, making Iris roll her eyes
"-I'm not even top of my year at Hogwarts, that's Hermonie, she-"but Iris stopped speaking, Elijah saw the brief flash of hurt across her face
"Iris Potter is humble and modest" said Dobby
"god he does like you" Kol shook his head
"Iris Potter speaks not of her triumph over He-Who-Must-Be-Named" said the little elf
"Voldemort?" said little Iris, the elf clapped his hands over his ears and moaned
"Speak not of the name, Miss, Speak not of the name"
"Sorry" said little Iris frantically "I know lots of people who don't like it-"
"You are sort of tactless are you?" Rebekah drawled, folding her arms in front of her chest and saw the elf open its mouth to speak once more
"Dobby heard tell, that Iris Potter met the Dark Lord for a second time, just weeks ago….that Iris Potter escaped yet again-" the little raven head nodded whilst eyeing the elf "Ah miss-"
"Ew" Caroline scrunched her nose up seeing the creature dabbing his face with his filthy cloth "Iris Potter is valiant and bold! She has braved so may dangers already! But Dobby has come to protect Iris Potter; to warn her, even if he does have to shut his ears in the oven door later…Iris Potter must not go back to Hogwarts"
"What?" Stefan asked loudly surprised at this
"W-what?" little Iris stammered "But I've got to go back- term starts on September the first. It's all that's keeping me going. You don't know what it's like here. I don't belong here. I belong in your world-at Hogwarts"
"No, no. no" squeaked the elf "Iris Potter must stay where she is safe. She is too great, too good to lose. If Iris Potter goes back to Hogwarts. She will be in mortal danger"
"What"? Klaus growled his hold tightening on Iris; he did not like the sound at all
"Why?" the little raven head asked surprised
"There is a plot, Iris Potter, a plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year, Dobby has known it for months, Miss. Iris Potter must not put herself in peril,. She is too important"
"Something big is going to go down this year isn't it?" Elijah asked a frown etched on his face, Iris bit her bottom lip and nodded
"What terrible things?" asked little Iris "who's plotting them?"
"Come on" Damon frowned as the elf started bang his head frantically against the wall
"All right" little Iris grabbed the elf's arm to stop him "you can't say, I understand-"
"I don't" Caroline muttered
"-but why are you warning me? Hang on this hasn't gotten anything to do with Vol-sorry I mean You-Know-Who have it? You could just shake or nod your head"
They watched as the elf slowly shook it's head "Not-not He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Miss"
"Is he trying to give you a hint?" Alaric asked cocking an eyebrow seeing the elf's eyes widening
"Yeah, he really sucked at that" Iris muttered leaning her head back against Klaus's chest
"Well I can't think who else would ever have a chance of making horrible things happen at Hogwarts, I mean there's Dumbledore, for one thing, you know who he is don't you?"
"I think everyone does" Elijah commented and listened to the elf
"Albus Dumbledore is the greatest Headmaster Hogwarts has ever had. Dobby knows it Miss. Dobby has heard Dumbledore's powers rival those of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named at the height of his strength, there are powers no decent has"
Damon whispered "Wow flower was he that powerful? The old man?"
"Yes" she replied curtly and cringed slightly at what the elf did next, they saw the elf bounding off of the desk grabbing hold of little Iris's desk lamp and started to beat himself with it, letting out ear-splitting yelps
"Shit" Kol breathed hearing a silence falling downstairs, he could hear past Iris's heartbeat quicken as well as the sound of Vernon coming down the hall
"Quick in the wardrobe" the small girl grab the elf and shoved him into her small closet just as the bedroom door handle turned
"What the devil are you doing?" Vernon hissed,
"Fucking arsehole" Kol spat his anger rose when the man brought his face horribly close to little Iris, Klaus tensed and tighten his hold on her causing her to wince slightly
"You've just ruined the punch line of my Japanese golf joke…once more sound and you'll wish you've never been born, girl"
"Dipshit" Damon muttered as the large man stomped out of the room, he didn't miss little Iris shaking slightly, she opened the wardrobe
"See what it's like here? See why I've got to go back to Hogwarts? It's the only place I've got friends"
"Friends who don't even write to Iris Potter?" said the elf slyly
"How does he know that?" Jeremy frowned
"I expect-wait how do you know my friends haven't been writing to me?" little Iris frowned
"Iris Potter mustn't get angry-"
"I think she has every right to be" Elijah murmured fixing the sleeves of his dress shirt
"Have you been stopping my letters?" the girl demanded
"Dobby has there here, Miss" he looked up at her anxiously "Iris Potter mustn't be angry…Dobby hoped…if Iris Potter thought her friends had forgotten her…Iris Potter might not want to go back to school Miss…"
"So this is he's twisted way of helping you?" Rebekah asked her brows furrowed
"This is just one of many" Iris said mysteriously
"Why don't I like the sound of that?" Klaus whispered into her ear, she smiled slightly and shook her head.
"Go Iris" Damon cheered seeing the little raven head diving for the letters but the elf jumped out of reach
"Iris Potter will have them, Miss, I she gives Dobby his word that he will not return to Hogwarts, ah Miss, this is a danger you must not face, say you won't go back"
"No" little Iris said angrily "give me my friend's letters"
"Then Iris Potter leaves Dobby no choice"
"What the- crap" Stefan said seeing the elf darting out of the room, little Iris ran after him,
"Come on" Alaric uttered as they followed the past Iris out of the room. they were at the end of the hallway, the group could see the scene, where little Iris was peering through the kitchen
"Shit" Damon swore seeing a large ice-cream pudding floating, no doubt due to the elf's work
"No" croaked little Iris "please….they'll kill me-"
Klaus's jaw clenches at the mere thought of that man touching her
"Iris Potter must say she's not going back to school….
"Dobby please"
"Listen to her" Elena muttered biting her bottom lip
"Say it Miss-"
"I can't"
They saw the elf give her a tragic look "then Dobby must do it for her own good" and with that the pudding fell to the floor with an almighty crash, Stefan cringed hearing screams coming from the dining room.
The scene blurred so now they saw little Iris clutching on to a piece of parchment
"Go on read it" Vernon hissed, Alaric noted that the guests have disappeared "read it"
Little Iris nodded
"Dear Miss Potter
We have received intelligence that a Hover Charm was used at your place of residence this evening at twelve minutes past nine. As you know underage witches are not permitted to perform spells outside school, and further spell work on your part may lead to expulsion….."
"Crap" Jeremy hissed seeing little Iris gulp and looking up at the man before her
"You didn't tell us you weren't allowed to use magic outside school" the small girl backed up when he took a step towards her
"Get away from her" Rebekah snarled
"Forgot to mention it…slipped your mind, I daresay, well I've got news for you, girl…..I'm locking you up…you're never going back to school….never….and if you try and magic yourself out-they'll expel you"
Klaus growled as the man grabbed the small girl dragging her upstairs
"They're disgusting" Alaric scowled hearing the man laughing loudly.
The scene shifted so now they were back in Iris's room "Oh my god" Elena breathed "are those bars on your windows?" Iris nodded,
"It looks like a prison" Jeremy mumbled and was even more disgusted when he saw the small flap at Iris's door
"Oh Iris" Elijah murmured seeing the small girl on her bed, tossing and turning it was clear that couldn't find sleep, a bright light shone in the room, it was coming from the window
"Wow" Caroline muttered a wide smile coming across her face seeing the red head boy there, they watched as little Iris woke up, and looked around groggily her emerald orbs widened seeing who was at her window
"Ron?"
"I'm guessing he helps you out" Stefan said, Iris nodded
"So he does something right" Klaus muttered and felt the tug in his gut, they were leaving.
AN: There you have it the next chap, got it out quicker than i expected, anyway thanks for the reviews i really appreciate them, they spurn me on.
So in this chap, the beginnning of the Chamber of Secrets, we also saw at the beginning some Iris and Elijah time, and learnt that she has an aversion to porridge. also they saw Iris's and Dobby first meeting and the Durselys reaction to guest. and finally they witness Ron coming to Iris's rescue.
Next Chap (coming soon)- Iris's time at the burrow, they return to Diaggon Alley where they meet Lockhart and finally her hasty return to Hogwarts in a flying ford angela
