MYSTIC FALLS – One of the reasons why Harry moved to Mystic Falls was the big magical community it had living within the town. It had a magical street, Black Cherry Avenue, hidden in a bar, just like Diagon Alley and The Leaky Cauldron in London. There was also a wizarding school, Spellbrook School of Magic, hidden deep in the mountains above town, which was interesting.

School began in Mystic Falls High, Harry enrolled since his vampire nature made him look five years younger than he was. He did it just to kill time, he had to do something to while he decided what to do for a living in the American Wizarding World. During his first few weeks he became friends with Bonnie and Tyler. Damon introduced him to his Salvatore brothers Matt and Stefan. Everyone noticed Damons calmness, they were surprised when he even apologized to Elena and agreed to help with Katherine.

GILBERT HOUSE – MYSTIC FALLS – School was out for the day and Matt drove over to Elenas place, with Harry, to get a book. They greeted at the door by Jenna, Jeremy was upstairs. "Hi Matt."

"Hi Jenna this is my new friend Harry." said Matt.

"Nice to meet you Harry." said Jenna. "Please come in."

"Thank you." smiled Harry. He looked at her and she seemed so familiar somehow. "Nice to meet you."

"You're new in town?" asked Jenna.

"Yes.' said Harry. "Just moved here from London."

"How nice." said Jenna. "So what brings you boys over here."

"Elena borrowed my physics book and I need it back." said Matt.

"Upstairs, you know the way." said Jenna. Matt made his way up leaving her with Harry. She led Harry the living room. "So where are you living Harry?"

"Oh my mother had a house here and I decided to move in there." said Harry. "Pretty handy when you have property in a new place."

"Alone?" asked Jenna. Jeremy came downstairs and was listening in.

"No." said Harry. "One of brothers will be arriving tomorrow and my sister and her husband soon after that. After our parents died we've had to look out for ourselves."

"I'm so sorry to hear that." said Jenna. "If it's not rude, how did they die?"

"No it's fine. A few months after I was born actually, my brother was three at the time." said Harry. "We got separated, he was adopted by another family, who were school mates of my parents, and I was sent to live with my mothers half sister and her family. They didn't treat me well at all. Years later, when I was fourteen, I reunited with my brother at school and after seven years we decided to move away. We found our parents will and found a house listed here in my mothers name and…here we are."

"Where is this house?" asked Jenna.

"It's the manor on Ravenpine Lane, which borders the forest." said Harry.

Jennas smile faded. "What?"

"Yes. It's called The Dragons Nest." said Harry.

Jenna got up. "How did you get that house?!"

"Excuse me?" asked Harry. "My mother left it to me in her will when she died." He and Jeremy saw Jennas face go white. "Miss. Jenna are you alright?"

"Ye…Yes." said Jenna. "What's your name?"

"Harry" said Harry, he didn't get the line of questioning. "Harry Potter." Jenna fell onto the couch started crying. "Miss. Jenna?!"

Jeremy rushed in. "Aunt Jenna are you ok?! What happened?!"

"I don't know." said Harry. "She just started crying." He looked around and saw, on the mantle above the fireplace, a picture of three red hair women in their teens. He recognized the woman on the right as Jenna but even more the woman in the middle. He picked up the picture. "Mom?" He turned to look at Jenna. "What are you doing with a picture of my mother?"

"You…You're Lilys son?" cried Jenna.

"Yes" said Harry. "Lily Evans."

"Merlins beard!" cried Jenna.

"Ok!" said Jeremy. "This is getting too weird!"

Harry couldn't agree more with the younger boy. "You're telling me."

"Who are you and why do you have a picture of my mother?" asked Harry insistently. Matt rushed in with the book. He'd heard the commotion thanks to his vampire hearing.

"Lily was my sister." said Jenna. Harry dropped the picture he had in his hands. "My big sister. There were three of us. Miranda, Lilliana, and me. Lily was the middle sister."

Harrys eyes watered. "So that means you're my…"

Jenna wept tears of joy. "…your aunt." She ran over and hugged Harry. "My little raven!" She kissed Harrys head and face. "Let me look at you…" Harry smiled at her. "…oh how you've grown!" Matt and Jeremy cleared their throats. "Oh I'm so sorry. Harry I'd like you to meet Jeremy Gilbert, your cousin."

"Co…cousin?" asked Harry.

"Jeremy is the son of Miranda Gilbert, my late older sister and your late aunt." said Jenna.

Harry ran over and hugged Jeremy. "It's nice to meet you."

Jeremy hugged him back. "You too Harry."

Jenna turned to Harry. "Honey, why are you so cold."

"That will be my vampire inheritance." said Harry.

"What?" asked Jeremy and Jenna unanimously.

"Apparently some of my ancestors, from the Potter side of the family, were vampires." said Harry. "They passed the vampire gene from generation to generation but somehow in the late 1820s, it died out when they started marrying muggleborns. It skipped several generations until it remanifested in me and Caleb."

"Caleb?" asked Jeremy.

"My older brother." said Harry.

"Oh my…" said Jenna. "Where is he?"

"He's in London taking care of some business, he'll be arriving tomorrow." said Harry. "Yes and our sister Hermione will be arriving soon too with her husband Draco and our other older brother Fred will remain in London for now."

"Are you all full vampires?" asked Jenna.

"No." said Harry. "We're only half vampires."

"What do you mean half?" asked Jeremy.

Matt jumped in. "I was wondering the same thing myself."

Jenna and Harry sat them down and told them all about the Wizarding World, Harrys life, Voldemort and the war. Harry told them how he reunited with Caleb in his sixth year after Sirius confessed his existence at the end of his third year. How Hermione and Fred joined the family by blood ritual and how they inherited the half vampire gene due to that." Both Matt and Jeremy were in awe.

"So you're immortal?" asked Jeremy. Trying to change the subject.

"Yes." said Harry. "The combination of our magic and the half vampire gene in our system made us immortal. But since we are not fully vampires, we can be killed if mortally wounded and not treated in time."

"And this Dragons Nest?" asked Jeremy.

"It's my moms house." said Harry.

Jenna nodded, she turned to Jeremy. "After your grandparents, Daniel and Elizabeth Evans, died they left each of us one house. One was destroyed in a fire, which is why Elena moved in into this house with me when I became her guardian. And finally there's the Dragons Nest, which belonged to Lily. She and James came several times before she had you boys. They restored it, made it bigger and grander. But after they died, it was shielded by a protection spell, making it impossible to see or enter until their heirs claimed it."

"Aunt Jenna do you have magic?" asked Harry.

"Yeah." said Jenna.

Jeremy looked shocked. "You do?"
"I haven't practiced it in years, I don't even remember where my wand is." said Jenna.

"A locator spell can take care of that." said Harry.

"I guess I got so used to living in the muggle world that I just stopped." said Jenna. "But…" She grinned. "Now that Harry and Caleb are back I guess it's time to bring magic back into my life."

"What about me?" asked Jeremy. "Do I have magic too?"

"We'll have to check sweetheart." said Jenna. "I think your mom casted a spell to bind your powers."

"Why?" asked Jeremy.

"Your father, and the Gilbert family weren't fans of magic, and still aren't." said Jenna. "This town has always been a hot spot for supernatural forces and they thought having powers would just call up trouble."

"When Caleb gets here maybe he can help with a potion to unbind the spell." said Harry. "He's a potions master, much better at it than me. Plus, if this town is as bad, supernaturally, as you say he needs to have the protection of his magic…You too Aunt Jenna."

"I insist you stay for dinner!" said Jenna.

Jeremy smiled. "Yes please!"

"I don't think I can today." said Harry. "I have homework from school and…" He sighed. "I'm a little overwhelmed by all this. Plus, wouldn't it be better if we have dinner when Caleb and Hermione arrives."

"Yeah." said Jenna. "How is he?"

"He's good and kind and compassionate but he's also very powerful and when angered he can be…quite cruel and very wicked." said Harry. "He's passionate about protecting those he loves."

"Why is he so bad?" asked Jenna.

"After we separated, he was adopted by the Cromwell Family, a incredibly wealthy upper class noble family of Britain. His mother Elizabeth Cromwell née Kent was the Countess of Hexton. They were great supporters of the light. He went to Hogwarts at 11 years old, like me, but at twelve his parents were killed by Deatheaters and he was kidnapped by rogue Deatheaters. He was given the dark mark, put under the imperius curse and forced to murder many innocent people for the Dark Lord. He was rescued at 16, when I was in starting my third year. Given his position, wealth and title of nobility, the Ministry helped him and he was placed under the care of Professor McGonagall at Hogwarts where we met a year later, he was 17 and I was 14 just entering the Triwizard Tournament. He changed his name back to Potter before we decided to leave Britain and come here."

Matt, Jeremy and Jenna were in tears. "Oh heavens." gasped Jenna. "That poor boy."

"So he's very protective of us, he's scared something will happen and he'll be left alone again." said Harry. "So like I said he's loving kind and caring but if you mess with his family…you might end up dead."

"Well then we'll have to shower him with love." said Jenna. "Him, your sister and you my raven." Harry chuckled. "Before I go… can you give me some of your hair?" he asked looking at Jeremy and Jenna. "So I can add you to the house wards. That way you can drive and walk in whenever you want." Jeremy and Jenna quickly pulled out some of their hair and gave it to Harry.

After Harry left with Matt, Jeremy was all excited. Jenna started telling him about her life back in England and how they got there to the states. The phone rang, Jeremy picked it up. "Who is it Jeremy?"

"It's Elena… Mayor Lockwood is dead, some kind of an accident…" said Jeremy. "Elena is on her way home."

After Elena got home, Jenna and Jeremy filled her in on everything that happened. Elena couldn't believe it and couldn't wait to meet her long lost cousins.

MYSTIC SUPER MARKET – MYSTIC FALLS – The town was in a state of mourning after the death of the mayor. The funeral and memorial was scheduled to be in a few days and Jenna said he was welcome to go. Harry was pushing a cart through the aisle when he bumped into a Carol Lockwood. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright." said Carol. "British, are you new here?"

"Just moved." said Harry. "I'm Jenna Evans nephew."

"Nephew?" asked Carol. "I didn't know she had another nephew."

"Her late sister, Lily Evans, was my mother." said Harry.

"Of course, Lily." said Carol. "I'm Carol Lockwood."

Harry shook her hand. "How do you do Mrs. Lockwood."

"Fine. Nice to meet you." said Carol. "A polite young man with nice manners, a rare qualities these days."

Harry chucked. "Again I'm sorry to bump into you like that, I wasn't really seeing where I was going and I'm very sorry for your loss."

"Thank you Harry." said Carol. "The funeral is in a few days, you're welcome to come."

"Oh I don't know." said Harry. "I don't really know you or anyone else in town I wouldn't want to intrude."

"You wouldn't sweetheart." said Carol. "The entire town is welcome to come. It's not obligatory, but its open should you decide to."

"Thank you and again…my condolences to you and your family." said Harry. Carol nodded and they continued on their separate way. He already had breads, cheeses, hams, a large variety box of green grapes, wine, champagne, chicken ground meat, fish and lobsters in the cart so read his shopping list "Ice cream, oreo cookies…oooh, Hersheys chocolate syrup."

"Someone has a sweet tooth." Harry turned, and almost fell over a melon stand, to see Damon standing there. Damon smiled, he found Harrys sudden clumsiness adorable, and helped Harry up and put the chocolate syrup in the cart.

"Yeah." Smiled Harry. "How are you Mr. Salvatore?"

"Hanging in there. Dealing with some problems." said Damon. "and please, call me Damon."

"I'm sorry to hear that." said Harry. "You can call me Harry, Damon."

"Nothing to trouble your pretty head about." said Damon. "Are you having a party?"

"What?" asked Harry.

"All this stuff." said Damon. "It's enough to feed an army."

"Well, the fridge at my house is installed and so is the freezer, but it's all empty." said Harry. "My brother is arriving today, my sister in a few days with her husband and I can't let them come to an empty stocked kitchen."

"Need help?" asked Damon.

"Well I still need sugar, flour, butter, vanilla, coffee and tea." said Harry. "Double of everything really."

"Come on then." smiled Damon. He helped Harry with the rest of his shopping and was kind enough, to help put half the groceries in the trunk of the car. Harry agreed to let Damon drive the other half of the groceries over in his car. "So you're a wizard?" Harry turned to him. "Matt filled me in on everything."

"Yeah. Half wizard/half vampire" said Harry. "It's not something I go around talking about."

"Secret is safe with me." said Damon with a wink.

"I know. I trust you." said Harry. "Would you mind giving me some of your hair?"

"Why?" asked Damon.

"So I can add your vampire signature to the house wards." Said Harry. "That way you can come over and come in whenever you want."

"Really?" asked Damon. "Does that mean I can come over whenever I want?"

Harry nodded and he immediately gave Harry some of his hair. Damon followed Harry in his car across town to Ravenpine Lane, it was a mostly deserted, heavy wooded street. They drove to the end. "What?" he asked when they reached the entrance to the forest. He watched Harry get out of the car with a wand in the right hand and and his hair in the left. He watched Harry chanting a spell, in latin, and throw his hair into the air. The hair hit an invisible wall and burnt to ashes, then he saw the invisible barrier shimmer and vanish to reveal a large black iron gate, with two black stone winged dragons on either side, and a large stone wall covered in luscious ivy which went on for miles. Harry waves his wand, the iron gate opened and then signaled him to drive on. Damon followed instructions and drove in after Harry.

DRAGONS NEST – MYSTIC FALLS – The Dragons Nest was a sight, a grand, country house, or better yet mansion, built using Jacobethan style with French influence, giving it a chateaux appearance to it motifs. It was made of dark grey stone and black marble.

Damon drove up to the frontal courtyard, parked the car and got out. The place reminded him of Downton Abbey. "Wow."

"Welcome to the Dragons Nest. We casually call it The Nest." said Harry. He saw Damon gawk and admire the opulent beauty of the place. "Damon." Damon snapped out of it. "Groceries."

"Oh right." said Damon. Upon entering the place it was even more grand than he expected. It had towering 30 foot tall ceilings, cathedral tall diamond pane windows, black marble pillars, black mahogany wooden floors and furniture, grand fireplaces in each room, fine sparkling crystal chandeliers with matching foot table candelabras and wall sconces made of clear gold and purple crystals, there were also very rich purple and gold curtains and carpets. The drawing hall, the living room in America, was the size of a ballroom. There was an informal dining room that sat ten people while the formal dining room, which was bigger and grander, could sit easily twenty to 30 people at most,

The grand staircase, was also made of black marble, it lead up to a landing under a tall diamond pane window. At the foot of the staircase stood two stone winged dragons, each holding up a large nine arm golden candelabra in each hand. It reminded Damon of the staircase at the Palais Garnier in Paris. He could only imagine how beautiful it was all lit up at night.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs Harry pointed to the right hallway. "Down that hall is the kitchen, easy to carry foo to the dining room and…" He pointed up. "On the second floor is the library that connects to the studies."

He led Damon through the drawing hall, and opened the double doors into the grand ballroom, it was twice the size of the living hall and like the mirror hall in Versailles. Then they went through the glass doors into the outside terrace down to the back courtyard and into the flower lined path to the dome shaped conservatory in the forest made of black iron and glass.

After walking back into the house they sat on the foyer hall, in front of the grand staircase. "Upstairs are the libraries and studies, on the third floor are the bedrooms and on the fourth floor are the potions lab, the dueling room, the séance room and the owlry." said Harry.

"This place is incredible." said Damon. "How many bedrooms are there?"

"Well there are twenty in total." said Harry. "But of course we can magically add more rooms to the house if needed."

"Hmmm…" said Damon. "I may have to stay over sometime." Looking around he thought 'I want to stay here forever!'

"Whenever you want." said Harry. "You're more than welcome. We are friends after all."

"Yeah." smiled Damon. He knew he wanted to be more than friends with Harry, his vampire called out for it. Harry, being so new probably didn't feel it yet, but he would guide him to make sure he would.

"He's here!" said Harry. "My brother Caleb. He's coming in through the wards. I feel them." He took Damons hand. "Come on, I want you to meet him!"

Damon smiled 'Meeting the family…a step in the right direction.' He thought as Harry led him out the front door. He looked as a black and white Panther De Ville, straight out of 101 Damatians, that drove up to the frontal courtyard. It was intimidating he couldn't deny it, and so was the young man, Caleb, that stepped out of it. Caleb was tall around 5'11" feet tall, pale alabaster skin, high cheekbones, strong jawline, a body like Chris Evans in Captain America, ice blue eyes almost white and long straight layered 25 inch raven black hair which was tied back in a ponytail. He was dressed in a white button shirt, under a black leather jacket and expensive jeans and shoes and he wore a large 30 carat emerald cut red diamond ring on his right hand ring finger.

"You're here!" smiled Harry

Caleb hugged him. "Yes. Finally."

"Caleb, I'd like you to meet my new friend Damon Salvatore." said Harry. "Damon this is my brother Caleb Potter the Count of Hexton."

Caleb shook Damons hand. "How do you do Damon."

"I'm great. Thanks." said Damon shaking Calebs hand. "Nice to meet you and welcome to Mystic Falls."

"Thank you." said Caleb.

"You want a hand with your luggage?" asked Damon.

"Oh no." said Caleb "They're easy to carry." He patted his pocket.

Harry smiled at Damon, who seemed lost. "Shrinking charm."

"Oh. Cool." said Damon.

"Would you all like to go in for some tea?" asked Harry.

"I'd love a cup of tea." said Caleb.

"Yeah." Damon. They went into the house, Damon wanted to get on Calebs good side, his instincts told him this was a powerful wizard/vampire that was dangerous if crossed, but very loyal and loving at heart. They had tea out on the back terrace and he hit it off with Caleb, which he could tell made Harry happy. His heart was content, he wanted to see Harry happy and he personally wanted to make Harry happy himself.

***Ok… In SHADOWS, Harry is related to the Lockwoods, Lily and Carol were bffs. But here I wanted him to have an actual blood relative that linked him back to his mom, so I turned to Jenna. I'm thinking she will not die, ever, in this story. I loved her character and I think she'll add a lot to the story. So we'll see who Klaus kills when the time comes. I loved the scene with Jenna/Jeremy and Harry, that family reunion was touching. I can't wait to have them meet the rest of the Potters. 1) I loved Harrys scene in the grocery store with Damon, that was cute. And the tour of the house was amaaaaazing! I think it's the richest most luxurious house I've created even in terms of colors rich purples and golds with dark greys and black. Love it. And of course 2) I love how Damon hit it off with Caleb. Like in SHADOWS I see them being besties! And of course… 3) I loooooved Caleb's 101 Dalmatian black and white panther de Vil car! I might use it in other future stories! We'll see. Please review! ***
