Happy Reading Y'all

Disclaimer: I do non own Harry Potter or Vampire Diaries.

Haraldr and Severus had made good use of their time later on the final battle of Hogwarts. Haraldr had been thrilled to larn that he was correct and Severus would non need to worry about walking in the daylight without a ring and therefore they only needed to provide him with a moonlight ring. He had been unsure of wither or not he would be able to layer the 2 spells on the same piece of jewelry so it was relief to non take to worry about that. Rings generally had very pocket-size stones and it was difficult to layer the spells when they were and then pocket-size.

As soon equally the sunday had risen and Severus had non burst into flames they had made their way to Gringotts where Haraldr proceeded to explain nearly his break in and pay for the damages he had acquired. Once the Goblins were satisfied with the reparations made they got onto planning for their new lives.

As everyone thought that Severus had died information technology was decided that he would take on his mother's maiden proper noun. The Goblins were able to update his vaults and paperwork to show his name every bit Severus Tobias Prince with little trouble. Haraldr had been thrilled to acquire that they could too provide documents that would be acceptable in the muggle world and that Gringotts worked with banks in the muggle globe every bit well. Information technology was a matter of filling out multiple stacks of paperwork in social club to transfer the majority of the Prince coin into the muggle earth.

In one case the Prince accounts were taken care of they had to do it all over once more with Haraldr's accounts. He had his vaults combined into the Black vaults. With the Potter, Black, and surprisingly Lestrange fortunes which had reverted dorsum to the black vaults due to loans that had been defaulted on; he would not take to worry almost coin anytime shortly. He had been planning on transferring his money into the muggle world as well simply inverse his listen when Severus had told him in no uncertain terms that he would do no such thing. His money would be left in the more than capable hands of the Goblins unless it was needed at some point.

While slightly irritated, he could not help merely feel happy that his professor was planning on actually taking intendance of him…like a guardian. Petunia had not been much of a guardian and his grandmother could but practise then much from the Other Side. At least that was how he was looking at his professor'south beliefs instead of thinking that information technology could exist that his professor idea that he would unable to manage his money well.

After taking care of paperwork for hours and getting his name legally changed to Haraldr Mikaelson Prince…even going so far every bit to getting paperwork listing him as the nephew of Severus and list him as his guardian (He had died and looked younger than his seventeen years), they went down to visit their vaults.

Haraldr constitute some new stones that he took along with him as well as some books that had to accept come from the Black and Lestrange vaults as they dealt with the darker aspects of wizarding magic. Haraldr would have never been able to look at annihilation like this with Hermione and Ron around and then Haraldr did not even hesitate to add together them to his new expanded space purse.

Severus said non a give-and-take equally he had e'er been interested in the Dark Arts and would probably finish up reading them besides. In his own vault he allowed Haraldr to choice through the loose crystals and stones to run across if at that place was annihilation that he did non have nonetheless while he packed upwards some of the rarer and darker books too every bit some books that would fill out Haraldr'south rather questionable wizarding instruction.

Information technology was while they were looking though the Prince jewels that Haraldr started to irritate Severus. Severus did not really intendance for jewelry and and so had planned on just picking a ring for the moonlight band that Haraldr had promised him. He had looked at the chest of jewels and picked up the kickoff i that looked remotely acceptable. Information technology independent a black stone encased in a silver setting and was not something he would be horrified to wear. He had simply handed information technology over to a grinning Haraldr and then expected them to go out immediately.

What he was non expecting was for the brat to close his optics before frowning and and so outright glaring at him.

"The hell did you lot chose this for?" Haraldr gestured wildly with the hand that was belongings the ring.

"What? You said it could be anything and that is not the nearly hideous matter I take seen." He glared right back at the boy expecting him to back down.

"We can't use this one…its Black Sapphire!" He looked expectantly at Severus like he expected the human being to understand his reasoning.

"And what does that matter?" Severus ground out.

"Information technology's a completely pointless stone for you." When Severus simply stared blankly at Haraldr, he sighed before explaining. "Black Sapphire helps to continue you lot calm and is a good if you are prone to panic and over sensitive to other people's issues and problems. Not something you need. It is also a good shielding stone against bullying and anger from others…again something that you don't need as y'all only glare at people until they run away. I guess information technology would be healthy if you are scared of the dark…but seriously…this is a horrible stone for you."

Severus merely glared some more before waving towards the piles of jewelry he had been trying to avoid. "By all ways and so…you chose."

Severus and so stood and glared at the back of Haraldr's caput for the next two hours as he muttered under his jiff about Aegirine being a girly stone and Moss Agate existence a good birthing stone and other such nonsense. Finally Haraldr immerged from the pile of jewelry with two rings clutched triumphantly in his easily.

"Okay, I have two proficient choices for you lot. Both are blackness stones with set up with silvery. The get-go one is a Black Tourmaline. It is proficient for providing protection during ritual piece of work and scrying. Information technology is good for meditation and even healing…though I accept non really used any crystals for healing, Grandmother was adamant that this one was a practiced one though. I think this one is good for you because it is supposed to provide protection from whiney people and people who mutter and moan a lot without doing anything to help themselves solve their own problems. That sounds similar yous. Could be useful if you continue to work with potions as well every bit it helps with when yous need full concentration." Looking up, Haraldr quickly connected as he took in the glare being aimed in his direction.

"This one is much prettier…it's Black Jade. I think this one is older every bit the setting looks extremely old. In that location is even some runes etched into the ring for concentration and retentiveness and I am pretty sure that the one on the end is for ingenuity. Information technology is a good balancing stone if the wearer is boss, clever with words or manipulative, which is yous to a tee. It should protect confronting people who are greedy for power and controlling people…you probably won't demand that since you tin only glare them to death. Honestly…the remainder of the qualities like soothing feelings of insecurity or fear and such don't have much to do with yous. This was just the side by side all-time rock available in black. If y'all want I can look for other colors."

"I volition have the Tourmaline." Severus drawled slowly, his lack of patience articulate.

"Are you certain?" Haraldr had already turned back to the jewelry, fully intending to search for a better stone.

"Positive. Come." When he did not respond, Severus simply grasped the male child's shoulder and moved him towards the door and the waiting cart. "The Tourmaline will do."

"Okay. If y'all are sure." Haraldr placed the called band within his pocket before climbing into the cart for their ride back to surface.

After they had returned to Grimmauld place, it took them almost no time at all to pack upward their belongings. Severus had flooed over to his home, Spinner's End, in order to pack up his own property earlier he began to helpe Haraldr while muttering nether his breath about how 'the brat was not even able to pack without making a mess' under his breath.

Inside a week they had disappeared into the muggle world, leaving the wizarding world wondering what had happened to their savior. Neither looked back.

Haraldr smiled upwardly at the house that had been restored for them as he stood beside the human he even so considered his guardian despite their years together. It had been eleven years since they had left the wizarding world. They had both worked hard to fit into the muggle world with its engineering and customs and spent endless hours learning about subjects that appealed to them.

1 of the almost difficult things for the both of them was learning almost the subjects that were usually taught to the muggles. Neither of them had been to a muggle school since they were eleven and though Haraldr had spent a proficient amount of fourth dimension in the muggle globe, he had notwithstanding been lost with the massive corporeality of information he needed to learn.

All those hours of studying boring muggle school subjects had paid off though. They had no problems plumbing fixtures in with muggle society, which was a skilful thing as they would probably be living here indefinitely.

"Then. What practice you think Uncle Sev?" Haraldr asked while glancing at his uncle's expression from the corner of his center.

The sneer on his face up was but as evident in his vox when he responded. "Information technology's white."

"What else would information technology exist? Blackness? I don't think that y'all can become an antebellum manor in black."

"I suppose it volition exercise. At least in that location is plenty room for everything. Has the furniture been delivered?"

"Yes" Haraldr chirped happily. "They congenital you two green houses in the back while they were refurbishing the place besides." As they walked into the impressive entrance hall Haraldr began to point and depict their new abode as Severus had left this aspect of their move upward to him. "On this flooring we take the entry; to the left nosotros take a formal dining room in front end with the kitchen in the back. Opening from the kitchen and out to the left is a solarium and breezy dining area. To the correct we accept a formal greeting room in front informal in dorsum. Shooting off to the right from the informal greeting room is a den or entertainment room. That is where the entertainment heart is located."

Haraldr led Severus under the double stairs and pointed to a door under the left stairway. "This is a glaze closet and that one on the right is the guest bathroom." Going further back they entered into a large open up room with French doors and large windows providing a great view into the dorsum lawn. "This is the ballroom. I don't actually think we demand one…just I don't really know what else to practice in here. Maybe a bowling alley?" Haraldr turned wide light-green optics towards Severus.

"Ballroom." Severus drawled without blinking at Haraldr'south suggestion.

"Ballroom then. Okay and then. Do you want to go up or downwardly next?" Seeing that Severus did non care 1 way or another, Haraldr led Severus into a narrow stairway that was located off of the kitchen. "This is the cellar. We have all of your alcohol down here and everything. I judge we could torture people downward here if nosotros wanted to. Kind of reminds me of the dungeons at Malfoy's to be honest. Oh…the delivery beacon for the portkey from the Goblins is in the last room…or cell if yous rather. They said that nosotros volition continue to get our regular shipments on schedule…not that we will run out someday shortly. Those bottles are all in the back."

1 of the showtime businesses they had bought into was a privately funded blood depository financial institution. Every tenth donation was placed into bottles that had been spelled for preservation earlier being shipped to Gringotts and then to their current home. They made sure that they always had a surplus and any extra that they could not shop in their home was stored in an extra vault at Gringotts. Severus had adopted Haraldr's nutrition of three glasses of blood a twenty-four hour period in addition to regular meals, and like Haraldr, he preferred to drinkable from a glass instead of someone's neck. Haraldr probably would have staked him if he hadn't though equally he had a tendency to freak out at making a mess. Severus said he had issues, but Haraldr had gotten even more fastidious as they had traveled and seen how other vampires fed.

Moving back upward the stairs to the main floor and so up to the 2nd Haraldr continued to draw the rooms. "On the third floor are six more than bedrooms with their own bathrooms, but this flooring has iv bed rooms, each with its own in suite bath and all open to the balustrade that wraps around the second floor. Over the ballroom here we have a report for you lot to the left and one for Father to the correct if he wants one when he gets hither, and then this is the library." Aside from the space taken out for the two large studies and what looked to exist a bathroom, the residual of the infinite was taken upwardly with couches, chairs and tables and the walls had been covered with books. There were fifty-fifty cases set up on the left side that housed Haraldr's stone collection.

Looking around at the room he knew he would be spending a lot of time in he immune his pleasure to shine through. "Impressive Haraldr." Like his grandmother, Severus had taken to calling him by his total starting time proper noun. While he had goose egg against the name Harry, he had started the addiction in order to distance the male child he had taught in Hogwarts from the male child he was living with in the muggle earth. Haraldr did not mind as he had never really thought of himself as Harry anyhow, information technology was simply a office he had to play until he could leave.

"We have room for more books. I was able to put them all out and nosotros nonetheless take room to spare." Haraldr said with glee. Their terminal home, while big, simply did not have plenty infinite for his drove. He had kept his stones in cases along with the majority of his grimoires. Even some of their main drove had not been in their library due to the lack of space. Both Haraldr and Severus were always adding to their collections and neither of them was willing to downwards size. While Haraldr was well-nigh obsessive about finding new grimoires, Severus was nigh as bad with Potions and Night Arts and other rare magical texts.

"Then I run into."

Haraldr and Severus then retreated into their own rooms, both located towards the left of the second floor, to settle in.

The next forenoon, they both sat down to breakfast, complete with eggs, toast, bacon and a glass of blood. Not fifty-fifty glancing upwardly from his paper, Severus spoke into the silence.

"You are really going to do this? Go back to school again?"

"Yeah." Haraldr grinned every bit he stole a piece of bacon off of Severus plate while he was behind his paper. "The doppelganger is going to be a inferior…and then I am going to exist a junior. Yay schoolhouse." Haraldr tried to look innocent when Severus finally put the newspaper down.

"You are an imbecile." He drawled out while sending a wandless stinging charm towards Haraldr. "Stop stealing food off of my plate brat." Picking his newspaper back up and ignoring the fact that Haraldr had not fifty-fifty flinched at the customary stinging charm, he connected. "Try non to be too much of a dunderhead today."

"Hn, I will try not to be an embarrassment. Annihilation interesting in the paper?" Haraldr finished off his glass of blood before whipping his mouth on his napkin.

"Animal attack of some kind just not much data, there will be some kind of gathering to view the comet, notice of a Founder'south Ball at the cease of the month and some information on the founding families."

"Seriously? Comet viewing and Founder's Ball? This boondocks sounds weird."

"Hn. Small town." Zippo else was said as Haraldr took his dirty dishes into the kitchen before leaving for his offset mean solar day of school in Mystic Falls.

Haraldr had not fifty-fifty fabricated it into the schoolhouse building when he got his commencement glimpse of the doppelganger. He but gave her a passing look as he walked into the school in search of the part, and that is when his twenty-four hour period got interesting. He watched from the doorway as a broody vampire compelled the lady behind the desk-bound into assertive his file was upward to date and complete. He did not carp to hide his smirk as the boy turned around and widened his optics in surprise at his presence. Information technology was extremely hard to sneak up on a vampire and he had had no idea that someone had been standing backside him.

Haraldr's amusement continued after he had received his schedule as he had course with both the doppelganger and the vampire he had seen in the office. It was obvious that the vampire had been curious nigh him as he was likewise a new educatee, but his curiosity was forgotten is his apparent need to stare creepily at the doppelganger. Seriously, is he trying to come beyond every bit a stalker?

All throughout their classes Haraldr watched the doppelganger, her friends and the vampire that was currently stalking her; and he managed to practice it without becoming a stalker like creeper. He learned that her name was Elena and that her stoner brother was chosen Jeremy. She had two all-time friends; ane was a perky blond that made Haraldr smile with her blunt oral communication and cheery demeanor, the other was apparently a witch. He had heard her talking nearly her grandmother telling her most her powers, just she yet did not believe. Completely foolish of the girl as the Bennett line was strong in their magical ability. He fifty-fifty had a few grimoires in his collection from that family.

He had found out nearly the vampire from Caroline by listening in on ane of her conversations. His proper noun was apparently Stefan Salvatore and lived at the old Salvatore Boarding House with his uncle. Honestly the amount of information she had already found out was quite impressive. Past the time course was over and he was on his way dorsum to his black Mazda iii to head home Haraldr was already tired of existence back in school. He was reaching for the door to his machine when a perky voice stopped him.

"Hi, you are the new British child, correct?" Haraldr turned and smiled at a perky Caroline.

"That I am. Caroline right?"

"Right." Caroline beamed when he said her name. "And you lot go by Haraldr right?" Her blueish eyes were shining with curiosity.

"I exercise."

"Haraldr, that is different, I don't think I have ever heard of anyone with that name before. So Haraldr, you are 1 tough person to learn nearly. A few of usa will be hanging out at the Grill if y'all want to join us?" Caroline looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"I approximate I tin hang out for a while. Where is this 'Grill' where everyone is hanging out?"

"Oh, yous can't miss it; it is practically the but place in boondocks to swallow. My car is right over there…you can follow me if you lot desire?"

"That is fine. Lead on."

Within a few short hours he knew quite a bit of data about the unlike people that lived in the town as Caroline was a fount of information. Some of the data was very juicy and gossipy but there was an amazing corporeality of information on people'southward daily lives that Caroline knew just because she was and so observant. He was sitting at a table with Caroline and Bonnie, who was not nearly as communicative as Caroline, when Elena walked in with Stefan.

Once they had joined them at their table Caroline began to gather even more information on the vampire. It seemed that while Caroline was interested in the male child, Bonnie was intent on throwing Stefan and Elena together for some reason, and that was after Caroline had already told the trivial witch virtually her interest before Elena fifty-fifty showed up. Every time Caroline would ask a question, Bonnie or Elena would turn the conversation back towards Elena. Both Elena and Bonnie seemed to ignore the blond in their group…and Caroline seemed to be used to it. Now, Haraldr was pretty laid back, but even he thought that the fashion the two girls were acting towards the bubbly girl was kind of bitchy.

Past the fourth dimension he was ready to caput back home he had been invited to the party taking place at the falls the post-obit night...by Caroline of grade. Caroline had actually asked if either he or Stefan had heard about it when Bonnie took over the chat and ensured that Stefan knew that Elena would be there. Caroline had just sighed with a bright grin on her face up and turned to brand sure that Haraldr was going to exist there. If he had not spent so much of his time pretending to be the Golden Boy of Gryffindor he would take never known how upset she was by their actions.

"Want to ride together since you don't know where nosotros are going?" Once Haraldr agreed with the perky blond equally he followed the group out of the Grill before heading home.

"Learn anything interesting at schoolhouse today?" Severus asked every bit soon as Haraldr walked through the door. He had been on his style downwards the stairs and joined Haraldr as he started for the kitchen.

"Oh yes. There are other vampires here…ane is in at the school. Don't know for sure about whatsoever others yet." Haraldr pulled downwardly two glasses earlier poring them both glasses of blood.

Severus looked at his glass for a moment before whispering a warming charm and taking a drinkable. "Probably was not an animal attack like the paper thinks and then."

"Probably not. The one in my grade is Stefan Salvatore."

Severus paused with the glass halfway to his lips. "The Ripper of Monterrey?" Haraldr had come across some hunter journals during his hunts for grimoires and they had read of the volatile vampire that would go from ane farthermost to the other with his diet. His lack of control was something that neither of them would ever understand.

"The very 1. I am fairly sure he is not drinking homo blood right at present though. He seemed weaker than he should have been. He didn't even seem to have an inkling that I was not human. Seemed to exist…downward I guess. Non the description of the Ripper that we have describing him on a blood high."

"Lovely. That means that in that location is at least ane more in town. Idiots" It was not all that hard to hide a kill if you could not end yourself from actually taking a life.

"And he was at school…in the daylight. And then he has a daylight ring."

"Perfect."

'Hn. He was also extremely interested in Begetter'south doppelganger for some reason. He simply stared at her all day in a creepy stalker manner."

"That should prove interesting if he does indulge in homo claret while in town. Did you learn annihilation about the doppelganger?"

"Yep, she is kind of a bitch. I met this very overnice daughter, Caroline, who is supposedly 1 of her best friends. Elena, the doppelganger, and her other best friend were completely ignoring her. She also seemed to want attention on her at all times. I am not certain, but I besides thought I could odor another wolf…muted though. It is possible that at that place are nonetheless some native werewolves here that have not activated their gene."

The thought of finding others that carried the werewolf gene was something that both of them were interested in as they had learned that Haraldr was right and could non actually pass the werewolf gene on. Severus actually had a werewolf in his ancestry, only the factor seemed to exist suppressed by his cadre magic until he had been turned into a vampire. This was the reason he had never turned before his change. Something nigh dying and turning into a vampire allowed the suppression to lift allowing the gene to be activated when he killed Ginny Weasley.

They had institute some natural werewolves as they had traveled but had not bothered getting too close to them equally they mostly stuck to themselves in packs. Finding one living in the pocket-size boondocks of Mystic Falls was extremely interesting.

Severus silently drank his glass of claret while thinking nearly what Haraldr had told him. The doppelganger and vampires would probably cause untold irritation. "Well, information technology looks similar we volition have to go on an middle on the lilliputian idiots to brand sure that they don't make as well much of a mess." He sounded resigned as he spoke.

"Sorry Uncle Sev. I know that were hoping to stay mostly to yourself while we waited on Father to show up. You are going to have to make overnice with the townies so that they don't come afterwards you with pitchforks, torches, and BBQ Sauce or something."

Severus reached over and snatched the empty glass from Haraldr'south hand with a sneer. "Go to bed brat." He never saw the grin that Haraldr aimed at his back as he rinsed out their spectacles.
