Into the Fire

by The Smokey Gerbil Cloud

Leonides Joannis was a pureblood wizard destined for Slytherin- that is, until his mother found out he's half vampire, and kicked him out of the house when he was seven. Growing up is tough for everyone, but when you lust for blood, things get that much harder. Lily and Leo have been best friends for months, but can he confess his heritage?

Nicholai

A war was coming. Everyone knew it, especially among the supernatural population. A wizarding war to end all wars.

I worried for my son. He was a hybrid, a half-breed, and this birth rite set the whole world against him. Humans, vampires... they all despised him. Wanted to kill him. Simply for the way he'd been brought into the world- the way he'd been born. I raised him to be aware of the danger surrounding his condition, training him to be able to defend himself- I spent more time building him than protecting him.

He was my son, but I was more of a friend to him than a father. He was constantly sacrificing himself for others because they needed him to, but I needed him, too. My son, my dearest son; blood of my blood, kin. If I didn't protect him, who would?
