Henrik Mikaelson

I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT MY OWN IDEAS

Chapter 1: The Begining

The Mikaelsons lived long ago in the 10th Century. The family consisted of Mikael, a Viking Warrior; Esther, his wife, a Wiccan witch; Freya, the eldest daughter, a Wiccan witch, and presumed dead from sickness; Finn, the eldest son; Elijah, second son; Niklaus, third son; Kol, fourth son, wiccan warlock in training; Rebeka, second daughter; and Henrik; the youngest son.

Esther was originally a Viking prisoner until Mikael took her as his wife. They then fell in love. (More like Stockholm syndrome). When it came time to start barring children, Esther found that she couldn't produce Mikael an heir. So she went to her sister Dalia a Wiccan witch who practiced dark magic. She came away with the ability to bare children but in return, the firstborn of every generation of her blood would belong to Dalia.

See all magic comes at a price which is why most of the time magic users channel something else so the price they have to pay isn't too significant. However, a spell that would give someone the ability to bare children will have to be extremely powerful since the spell will have long-lasting consequences that will last generations. As long as any of her descendants lived the spell will technically still be in effect since without the spell that person would not be alive. What this meant was that the price that had to be paid was very significant, thus why it will require the firstborn of basically every generation to power the spell.

Dalia collected Freya when she was five years old and in return, Esther told Mikael that she had died from sickness. This prompted the family to take the journey to the new world across the pond to start a new life. The family then lived in peace but the loss of Freya was never forgotten. The husband and wife then went on to produce five more sons and another daughter. Finn, Elijah, Niklaus, Kol, Rebeka, and Henrik.

Niklaus was the result of an affair between Esther and Ansel, the local werewolf Alpha but only Esther and Ansel knew that. Esther told Ansel to stay away because she was afraid of what Mikael would do if or when he found out. Mikael already didn't like Niklaus to begin with and if found out that he wasn't his son, Esther feared that he would kill her child. To further make sure that Mikael didn't find out she placed a curse on Niklaus to hide his strength so the chances of him triggering his werewolf side were almost none.

Upon Henriks 12 winter a tragedy happened. Niklaus liked to sneak out on the full moon to watch the werewolves and unknown to him on this particular night, Henrik followed him. Before dawn broke Henrik was killed by one of the beasts. Esther in her grief tried to save Henrik with her magic but was unsuccessful so she did the only thing she could at the time. Esther bound Henrik's soul to be reincarnated but had no control over when that would happen. This would give him a chance to live the life that was denied him.

Not long after that fateful night, Mikael had Esther call upon black ritual magic to make him and his children faster, stronger, and healthier, so they could protect themselves from the savage beasts known as werewolves. This in turn created the Original Vampires.

The first time that Niklaus killed someone was when his werewolf heritage was revealed and he became a hybrid, the first ever half vampire and half werewolf. Mikael in his anger and betrayed heart had Ester cast a curse binding Nikalus's werewolf side and then he killed Niklaus's true father. This led to two very important consequences that would last for centuries.

First by killing the werewolf alpha, Mikael sparked the hatred between the two species making them mortal enemies. It also didn't help that a werewolf's venom was toxic to them.

Second, in his unstable condition of being a newly turned hybrid (vampire half heightens his emotions and werewolf side giving him uncontrollable rage), Nikalus lashed out and killed his mother for not only her betrayal but also for binding his wolf.

Esther's death led to Mikael trying to kill Niklaus and even hunting him and his siblings across the world and through the centuries.

Fast Forward a Thousand Years to Godrics Hallow 1994

In a house hidden behind heavy wards lived a loving couple and their newborn son. This family was the Potters; Lord Jameson Charleston Potter (James Charles Potter), the father, wand wielder wizard; Lady Lillian Margret Potter (Lilly Mary Potter), the mother, wand wielder witch; Heir Henrik Jameson Potter (Harry James Potter), their firstborn son, hybrid wand wielder wizard, and wiccan warlock. (Side note: Names have power so it is custom in the Potter family to have a true name known only to the family and then a common name for the public)

Lilly was worried about the unknown Wiccan part of her son's heritage but James told her that many of the old families like his have at least one Ancestor that was a Wiccan and the ability pops up now and then. They would just have to find him a tutor when he was old enough to start training.

They were currently in hiding from a dark wand wielder who called himself Lord Voldemort. Voldemort was currently in the process of trying to take over the United Kingdoms Wand Weilding community and bring back the old dark magic and eliminate the non-magical community. This was a very unrealistic goal since non-magicals outnumber magicals 100-1 at the very least.

A couple of months ago a prophecy was given.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…"

It became apparent that the prophecy was naming one of two unborn children at the time. Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter. Thus both families went into hiding to protect their children and Voldemort who learned of the prophecy from a spy started hunting for them.

None of that though was on the parent's minds as they held their newborn son. They only had eyes for their beautiful baby boy.

18 months later

Voldemort had finally found the Potters thanks to another one of his spies. He smirked as he stood outside the house and heard the happy family inside not knowing what was about to happen to them. He took great pleasure in sensing their fear as he blew their front door down with an overpowered reducto curse and strolled into the house like he owned the place.

As soon as James heard the front down blow apart he was up and ready for a fight.

"Lilly take Harry and run." He yelled as his wife grabbed his son and ran up the stairs.

James grabbed his wand and started dueling Voldemort knowing this was most likely going to be where he died but if it gave his wife and son a chance to live he would die a thousand times over. Before he knew it he was disarmed and the deathly green spell hit him straight in the chest. He was dead before his body hit the ground.

Lilly had grabbed Harry and made a dash upstairs towards his nursery where she had set up her ritual that would allow her son to live. The ritual itself was pretty simple after you got all of the calculations out of the way. It was powered by a parent's sacrifice for their child. The parent would willingly give up their life for their child's survival, thus giving the child life-long protection from the person who killed their parent, but only if that individual then tried to kill the child that the parent was protecting.

Well, it being simple to Lilly meant it was very complex for normal wand wielders considering Lilly was a magical genius.

She put Harry in his crib and finished the ritual preparations then she knelt down to her son knowing this was the last time she would get to see him and him her.

"Harry, momma, and dadda love you sweetheart. We will always love you and be with you. Never fret that one day we will see each other again, but until then I need you to be strong and grow into the young man we both know you can be."

She kissed him on his forehead right on the swolio rune (Swolio Rune is the shape of a Lighting Bolt) that she had placed there in her blood just as the nursery door was blown open. She then stood up and turned around with her arms out shielding her child as much as she could and moved to the center of the invisible ritual circle.

"Please. Kill me, not Harry. Take me instead"

"Move aside girl."

"Please, not Harry. Kill me instead, not Harry."

"I said move aside you silly girl."

"No. Not Harry take me instead, not Harry."

Voldemort had enough of this and cast the killing curse right at Lilly unknowingly powering her ritual. He then walked towards the crib where Harry was standing up not knowing what was happening while reaching and calling out for his mother.

Voldemort then chuckled and said, "As if you could ever defeat someone like me." He then pointed his wand toward the boy and said those dreaded words "Avada Kedva".

He smirked as he saw the emerald green curse leave his wand and head straight for the unsuspecting baby still reaching for his mother. Right before the curse hit the baby the swolio rune on Harry's forehead lit up and drew the green curse towards it before a golden skin-tight shield appeared around the baby. Voldemort couldn't even dodge as the curse was then thrown back toward him.

As the curse hit him an explosive wave of energy exploded and blew part of the roof off the cottage. His body then dissolved into dust and all that was left was his robes and wand while a dark shadow-like being fled the cottage. A second smaller shadow-like being rose slowly from the ashes and began disappearing so it went to the closet's magic source to try and survive which happened to be young Harry Potter.

The shadow searched the boy for any opening and finally found one in the shape of a swolio rune on his forehead. The shadow forced its way into the boy just as the golden shield sealed the rune leaving nothing but a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt. The pain that this inflicted was too much for the young child who promptly passed out.

Inside the mind of the child, the shadow tried to take control of its young host but at the last moment, it was rebuffed by an unknown and ancient power. The shadow knew that it was no match for this power and tried to backtrack out of the child but since the shield had closed there was nowhere for it to flee. The ancient power kept powering up until it blasted out of the child absorbing the shadow and causing even more damage to the cottage.

If you could see through the veil of death then you would have seen a very pissed-off Esther Mikaelson standing right behind the baby.

Esther had spent a thousand years on the other side watching as her children were forced to flee from her husband and become what she would call monsters. She also waited for when her youngest was finally reincarnated. It had taken a thousand years but finally, she felt the protection magic she had placed on his soul send out a ping and within seconds of him being born she was at his side. She vowed as she watched the Potters fawn over her young Henrik that she would not fail him this time.

Over the next 18 months, she was by his side. She watched as he learned how to crawl, walk, speak, and all the other first milestones that he reached. It broke her heart every time she saw her son call another woman momma but knew he would grow up happy. Then she learned of their situation and the threat that Henrik faced even before he was born. She became even more protective after that and even contacted some other witches she had met on the other side and begged for their help in protecting her baby.

It took some time but an ancient ancestor of the Potters took interest in the situation when it became apparent that the continuation of his bloodline depended on young Henrik's survival. The witches of the other side pooled their power together to send the ancient ritual to Lilly in a dream. With no writings of the ritual, Lilly believed that she had had a stroke of genius while asleep and didn't know of any outside help in saving her son.

On that Halloween night, Esther had no choice but to stand there and watch as her son's happy family was torn from him just as he had been torn from her so long ago. When the shadow had bypassed protections and tried to overtake her son she put all of her power into protecting her son. No spell just pure intent on protecting the child. This let out an untamed blast of protection magic that had unforeseen consequences.

The shadow had been a small piece of Voldemort's soul that had fractured when his body was destroyed. When the protection magic made contact with the shadow it cleansed it and then it was absorbed into the child's magical core expanding it. When this happened the magical barrier that separated Henrik Mikaelson and Henrik Potter was cracked. With no one to mend the crack, it would grow until the barrier finally fell, releasing all of Henrik's memories into the young child. Luckily this would not happen for years, however, parts of Henrik Mikaelson would most likely leak through before the barrier fell.

Harry didn't know any of this though, all he knew was that his momma fell, and wouldn't get back up before something made his head hurt really bad, then nothing.

Sirius Black arrived on the scene just as the second wave of magic blasted through the cottage. Without wasting any time he ran into the house almost collapsing when he saw James at the bottom of the stairs. He closed James's eyes before running up the stairs and searching for Lilly and Harry. Finally finding them in the nursery he did collapse when he saw them both. Lilly was laying in front of the crib with her eyes open and unseeing while it looked like Harry had died in his sleep with blood on his forehead.

He was about to leave to find Peter when he saw Harry's chest move up and down. Harry Potter was alive. Moving almost as fast as a golden snitch he reached the crib and lifted his young godson into his arms just as a piece of the roof fell right where the baby had been. He quickly moved outside only stopping to close Lilly's eyes as well. Outside he met Hagrid who told him that Dumbledore had sent him to check on the young couple when they didn't answer their floo. Hagrid then convinced Sirus to give Harry to him so he could take him to Hogwarts to be seen by Madame Pomfrey (Poppy).

Sirius then took the chance to track down Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort's spy, for betraying his friends. He had found Peter on a non-magical street but things didn't go his way. Peter got away and he was arrested and sent to Prison without a trial.

Hagrid did indeed take young Harry to Hogwarts where he was diagnosed with magical exhaustion but otherwise was fine except for the cut on his forehead. The cut radiated dark energy but was lessening with every hour. When Dumbledore heard that he was puzzled and knew that he couldn't have that. So when Poppy had gone to eat leaving him to watch over the young Potter Heir he cast a semi-dark curse halting the healing of the mark. After all, he needed the boy marked so when it came to revealing the prophecy there would be no doubt about the boy's destiny. He also noticed how large the child's core was and cast another dark spell, binding his magic into something more manageable. It wouldn't do for the child to get too powerful now, would it? After all, he was destined to fall at the hands of Lord Voldemort and allow Albus Dumbledore to kill the Dark Lord once and for all.

Late the next day Dumbledore had Hagrid take the boy to the Little Wining Surrey, where he would meet them to place Harry with his new family.
