Damon had just finished wrapping Hazels gifts when the doorbell rang. He knew Caroline was occupying Hazel until it was time for them to arrive, so it had to be guests. Flashing downstairs, he opened the door to find Nik and Elijah. "Come in, other than Stefan and Elena, you're the first to arrive." The brothers followed him to the living room.
"Who else are you expecting?" Elijah asked.
"Jenna and Ric, Rose should be here, little Gilbert and then witchy. Hazel's not a big fan of witchy but gets along with little Gilbert. I think Caroline said she invited Tyler and Matt, they hang out with the girls sometimes. She mentioned you might want to speak with Tyler." Nik looked confused until Damon explained, "He's a werewolf. He had skipped town with the shewolf but came back. Hazel didn't like him at first because he was mean to her bestie but thought you would want another Hybrid and could boss him around."
Both Originals laughed, Hazel was always open and honest with others. The three were joined by the rest of the guest shortly, Stefen kept glaring at the Originals, but it seemed even Elena was over his attitude. When Caroline showed with Hazel, the party finally began.
~~~
Hazel may not like parties but she loved Damon, so she was playing nice and not ruining his hard work. She had avoided Stuffy the whole night, mainly by staying close to Nik and Elijah. She wasn't sure what his problem was but they found it funny.
Someone had rang the doorbell so Damon went to answer it. Opening the door, he was faced with two identical redheads. "Can I help you?" He wasn't sure if these were who he thought.
"Hello, we are looking" "For Hazel. Is she home?"
Damons eyes narrowed, "Who are you?"
Smiling, they reply "Fred" "George" "Weasley" they finish together. Seeing the recognition in his eyes, they ask "Are you" Damon Salvatore?"
Damon nods, "You're here for her birthday, good timing. We're having a party. Come in." He had heard stories of these two, twin terrors. He was surprised Hazel had told them about him, she tried to keep him away from the danger. Damon led the twins to the living room and pointed out where Hazel was.
Hazel had been talking with Nik when his eyes moved to something behind her. Curious, she turned and froze, "No way!" The twins smiled and she ran for them. Grabbing both into a hug, "I can't believe you're here!"
Fred and George hugged her back before releasing her. Both had noticed the look coming from the man she had been talking to. "Did you really think we" "Would miss your birthday, Hazel?"
Hazel shook her head, "I wasn't sure when you would be able to make it. Who's running the shop while you're here?"
"Lee" both answered. They smiled widely before saying, "We're looking for a space in" "New York to open another shop."
She squealed, "Oh, that's great!" Hazel spoke with them more, unaware of the looks coming from the Hybrid.
~~~
Nik watched Hazel speak with the two men. He wasn't sure why, but he didn't like how close they seemed to be. He must have been showing something because Elijah appeared.
"Maybe don't glare at them like you want to murder them. I don't think Hazel would allow that." Elijah smirked.
Nik turned slightly, keeping the three in view still "Do you know who they are?"
"Damon said they are friends of hers from school." He watched his brother curiously. He had wondered if Nik like Hazel, he seemed to have his answer.
Nik couldn't understand why he was jealous, he didn't have feelings for Hazel, did he? Hazel was very beautiful, powerful, smart and not afraid of him. Maybe there was an attraction. He would just keep an eye on her for now, you know, for her safety.
Elijah had to hold back his laughter at his brother. What had the little witch done to get the Niklaus Mikaelson, so tied up? He could only think it would be a great show to watch.
~~~
Hazel dragged the twins over to meet her new friend, "Caroline Forbes, meet Fred and George Weasley. They're the ones I've told you about."
Care smiled, "It's nice to finally meet you. Hazels told me all kinds of crazy stories!"
Fred smiled, "Yeah, we were known for our pranks in school."
Hazel caught George's eye, they shared a knowing look. Freddie was in love!
Damon watched as Hazel spoke with her friends. He knew the twins had been through hell with her. Thinking of the things she had told him, he knew how close Fred came to being killed. He hoped they would hang around for a bit, looking at Nik, it seemed he would need her 'older brothers' to keep an eye out.
~~~
Damon shut the door behind Ric and Jenna. Other than the twins and Originals, everyone else had finally gone home. Walking back into the living room, he noticed Hazel was sat between the twins, talking. The look Nik was sending them was terrifying.
Elijah walked up to Damon, "So, are they like Hazel."
Damon nodded, "Yeah, they took her under their wing in Hazel's first year. I honestly felt better about her being there when she told me about them. This was my first time meeting them. Your brother can stop glaring murderously at them, they're like older brothers to her. That's it."
Niks head jerked towards them. He walked over to Damon and Elijah. "I don't know what you're talking about." Elijah let out a laugh.
Damon spoke quietly enough so Hazel wouldn't hear, "I've noticed you staring" Nik stayed silent but kept his eye, "Hazels my daughter, the most important person in the world to me. She's smart enough to make her own decisions but if you're wanting her for some quick fling, I'll stop you. Hazels an amazing person, she opens her heart to the unworthy" Damon takes a deep breath, "I'll be the first to tell you I don't deserve the love she shows me, but I will keep her from being hurt needlessly."
Nik would normally never let someone speak to him like this. He knew Damon was only trying to protect Hazel, his daughter. Nik could understand and respect the vampire for saying it to him. "I understand" Nik nodded, "I'm not sure what is going on but there's something about Hazel. I won't hurt her, but I would like to see if she feels anything for me."
Elijah could only stare. Who was this man? Niklaus would never allow someone to speak to him the way Damon did. Niklaus always said love was a weakness but now he was saying he may feel something for a mortal witch?
Damon smirked, "This should be interesting. I'll be sure to have aspirin ready, she's not the easiest person to deal with."
~~~
Hazel had to hold her laughter in at the sight before her. The twins seemed to have gotten revenge on Stefan for his comments about her. She should have realized they would retaliate when she told them. Damon couldn't see to his laughter, he was clutching his ribs and wheezing.
Stefan glared at all of them, "Change my hair back! I have to go out! Fix it!"
"Aww, Freddie. I don't know, it looks" George said between his laughter, Fred picked up where he left off, "Sunny. I agree Georgie, not so Stuffy."
Hazel lost it. She was now in the same position as Damon. They were holding onto each other as they slid down the wall, laughing.
This was the scene Care walked in on. She noticed the two on the ground and then the twins. When she finally looked to Stefan, she froze. His hair was such a bright yellow, it was almost shining. "What" was all she managed to say.
Stefan glared at the twins, "Change my hair back or I'll make you."
The room went silent, Hazel pulled herself and Damon up. Looking to Stefan, she spoke so quiet, they almost missed it. "I suggest you fix your attitude before I do it for you. Maybe if you weren't such a stuck-up prick, you wouldn't have been subjected to a prank. Pull the stick out of your ass and lighten up, Stuffy."
Stefan stepped back with each step Hazel took towards him. He couldn't find his voice but knew he had pissed her off.
Hazel waved her hand and returned his hair to normal. "Watch yourself Stuffy, I won't let your threats go again." He flashed out of the house like the hounds of hell were after him. Looking to her friend, Hazel smiled brightly, "Hey Care, what's up?"
Care shook off her shock. "What just happened?"
"We thought Stuffy could" "Lighten up a bit" The twins smiled cheerfully. Fred walked over to her, "How's your morning, beautiful?"
Care actually blushed, "Good" looking to a smirking Hazel, she realized they had an audience. "I wanted to see if you were going to the movie tonight in the square."
"Yeah, we'll go. I think these two would enjoy it." Hazel looked to the twins, "When are you going to New York?"
"Saturday, there are four" "Locations to look at" they replied.
Hazel nodded, "Yup, we will be there."
"Good, I didn't want to be with just the others." Care felt relieved. "Well, I'll see you later, I have to meet my mom for lunch."
~~~
Hazel was meeting up with Nik and Elijah, they were going over the plan to deal with Mikael. She had found his location and wanted to make sure they had a solid idea of what to do. They couldn't afford for him to get away.
Pulling into the address she had been given, Hazel let out a whistle. The house was huge but looked like it needed work. Parking her car, she got out and walked up to the house. Knocking, she waited.
Nik answered the door, "Come in, my brother's not back yet but should be soon."
Hazel looked around, "This place is nice." She could see people working.
"Thank you, I hired some of my Hybrids to do the work. Werewolves tend to be the best at manual labor so they were happy to help."
"When are you planning to look for more packs?" She knew he had some but wanted more.
Nik sat on the couch, "As soon as we finish with Mikael."
Plopping next to him, she nods, "That should be fun." Her eyes lit up, "You should let me come with you!"
He was taken aback by that. Why would she want to traipse through the woods with him? "Uhm, I guess, if you're sure you want to. What about the twins."
"They're opening a shop in New York as soon as they find a location. I can always pop in to see them if I'm needed." Hazel barely caught the look in his eye, it confused her because he almost looked jealous. "I think Freddie's into Care. I think it's sweet."
Nik nodded, "Sweet."
Elijah entered the room and caught the look on his brothers face. Hazel looked confused at his reply. These two would be the death of him. Nik would never admit that he had feelings for the witch and Hazel seemed oblivious to hers. Both he and Damon had noticed the two looking at each other but neither ever brought it up. Making his presence known, he walked in and sat in the chair across them, "So, do we have a plan for Mikael?"
Hazel smiled at him, "Hey Elijah." Looking between the two, she asked "I know the daggers work on your siblings, but will they work on him?"
Nik nodded, "It should. We could use the dagger until we find a way to kill him for good." Elijah nodded in agreement.
"I do wonder if I could kill him with a killing curse." Hazel murmured.
Elijah looked confused, "What's the killing curse?"
"It's one of three unforgivable curses. Most wouldn't think of using it but I want Mikael dead."
"Weren't you hit with that curse, twice?" Nik asked.
"Yeah, but I'm special" she smiled at them, "So, I have a location, when are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow" Nik says, looking to his brother who nods.
"Perfect, we can drive. So, I'll pick you both up at nine." She ignores Niks smirk, his brother would be in for a music lesson.
Elijah stood, "I'll see you tomorrow then. Have a good day" looking to Nik, "I'll be in my office."
Nik stood when Hazel did, "I'll walk you to your car."
"Such a gentleman" she smiled up at him cheekily.
He smiled back at her, making sure she was safely in her car. "You're going to make us suffer your music the whole ride, aren't you?"
"Oh Nik, it's a three-hour drive. Be ready" she laughed at his expression.
Sighing, trying to hide his smile, "Drive safe luv. I'll see you in the morning." He watched as she drove away. Nik wasn't sure what it was about Hazel, but he couldn't get her out of his head now that he had thought of her.
~~~
Hazel was enjoying her breakfast with Damon, Rose and the twins. The twins had been teasing her about Nik but she didn't think he felt that way about her. Even Damon and Rose had noticed how oblivious she was to Niks feelings towards her.
Damon knew Hazel never dated while in school, she had always been focused on her studies. That's why she didn't notice Niks jealousy when she had been sitting with the twins. Personally, he thought it was hilarious, but he knew they would have to tell her if she didn't realize it soon.
The whole room went silent when Stuffy entered the kitchen. Hazel ignored him, until he treated Damon better, she wouldn't bother with him. Damon of course greeted his brother and didn't receive a response.
Hazel stood, hugging the twins before hugging Damon and Rose, "I'll probably be late. It's a long drive and I don't know how long it will take to finish it."
"Just be safe. I know Nik and Elijah will keep you out of trouble but I also know you" Damon glared down at her.
"I promise, I will stay next to them and stay out of trouble" Hazel pouted, glaring at the twins when they laughed. "Shush you two."
"Sorry sister but we" "Know you too well" Fred and George laughed.
Huffing, Hazel replies, "Don't you two have somewhere to be?"
Noticing the time, they rush out their goodbyes and take the portkey she held out to them. She smiled and they disappeared.
"Love you Day, time to kill a monster" Hazel skipped out of the house and headed to her car. She was ready to end Mikael, men like him didn't deserve to breath the same air as those they harmed. She would gladly kill him with a smile on her face, as long as the brothers didn't want to do it themselves. They would make sure it was done, and it was safe to wake the other Originals.
