Immortal Dilemmas

*With Hailey Potter*

As soon as Hailey landed on the ground, she heard the door slam open. They must of put back up the detection wards. She was glad she had the sense to put a quick glamour on herself as to hide Stefan’s…love bites. She was soon surrounded by a blur a redheads and a single brunette. Ron and Hermione had no way of knowing where Hailey could have gone and they were worried for her mental state when handling the news of her…acquired status. For every hour that she was gone their worry grew. They had choice but to return to home base, The Burrow. It was their return spot, when Hailey returned she would apparate here. Then a problem, occurred the rest of the Weasleys had noticed the that their pseudo sister/daughter was not with them. They were cornered and questioned but the rest of the Weasleys couldn’t get far in questioning as they only know the bare minimum. After the battle Hailey had apparated in distress from receiving some life changing information. They wouldn’t tell them what the information was as that was only Hailey’s to share. The rest of the family was adamant to go search for her but Hermione had pointed out that there is no possible way to track her, they would just have to wait for news or for Hailey to show up. The Weasleys and Hermione were all still restless and worried from battle. No one in the Burrow got a good night sleep. When they awoke and begrudgingly eating breakfast they all felt the wards alert them that a familiar magic signature had apparted in front of the house, it was Hailey she was finally home. The wizards and witches all scurried out of the house and quickly surrounded Hailey. She was bombarded with questions of where was she, was she okay, who was she with, and etcetera. She answered as best as she could without revealing too much, she still needed to tell the newest developments to Hermione and Ron first. But before she could go and ask for some privacy with them, the Weasley matriarch had dragged her to the dining table. Molly had demanded that she put something in her stomach.

“Honestly Hailey dear, you look you could keel over haven’t you had anything to eat?”, Molly fretted as she put a full English breakfast in front of Hailey. Other than a few pints she actually hasn’t eaten in a while and she can’t exactly say she doesn’t need some food. Over the next few months she’ll have to take better care of her body for her baby. She started shoveling food into her mouth in hopes of giving the baby some nourishment. Though a more rational part of her knew that the baby was barely the size of a poppyseed but let her be. The Weasleys sat in astonishment, they have never witnessed her eat so much food without forcing her. She almost ate as much as Ron. While she was eating she was thinking of Stefan. She hoped he was safe and that no one was giving him too much of a hard time. She missed him already. As soon as she was done she gave a look to her best friends. They instantly knew to prep themselves for whatever she had to tell them. The rest of the Weasleys looked wary of letting them off by themselves. The trio ignored these looks and headed off to Ron’s room. As soon as they were in, Hermione casted a silencing ward around the room along with some extra precautions, the twins can be incredibly creative in eavesdropping when they want in on the information. When she was done the couple turned their attention to Hailey, who was trying to collect her thoughts, wanting to hear what had happened when she apparated.

“When we were in the library I had found a book with more details of what it means to be the Master of Death. I-it said that as the Master of Death I won’t be able to die until Death deems me ready and I won’t be able to age. The worst part was when I thought that I had lost the ability to start my own family.”, she said with her voice cracking a few times. Hermione was close to tears after everything her sister had been through the only thing she wanted was to be able to start a family and then go on to see the rest in the afterlife, it wasn’t fair. Ron wasn’t normally a guy in touch with his emotions but what he felt was anger, anger towards the whole universe for making his sister go through hell and back and not give her what she wanted and deserves. Hailey seeing that her pseudo siblings were going to implode with their emotions quickly moved on with her tale. The couple was surprised to hear her continue but listened intently.

“I needed some alone time to clear my head and think on…everything. I had ended up in Oregon,America. I was outside a small town and there was a lone street, so I just followed it. I don’t know how long I was walking for but a guy, Stefan, had eventually came along and offered me a ride to town. And don’t give me that look I can handle myself. Anyways, we made small talk in the car and really connected on a emotional level. We both needed a drink so he took me to a bar when we were leaving I may have…kissed him.”, she whispered that last part but with their expressions she must have not been quiet enough to go unnoticed.

“…WHAT?!?!?”, they couple said together but in completely different ways. Ron had said so in a angry and protective manner, Hailey was his little sister, he wanted this guy’s name and intentions towards her. Hermione had said it in an excited manner, Hailey finally had her first kiss! She would have to get a one on one with her soon to go into more detail. She wished Stefan were here he would have squeezed her hand and put his arms around her for reassurance. Hailey had flushed in embarrassment but she had to trudge on, if they reacted like this to her first kiss…she fears for the next part.

“Calm down! Wait until I finish-“

“There’s more?!”

“Yes Ron, there’s more!”, she was rethinking in actually telling them but she needed to. Didn’t help that Ron had the face of a child seeing their parents kiss. Just do it fast, like a bandaid.

“…He may have also… takenmyvirginityandgotmepregnant!”,there she did it. Ron looked confused but Hermione had heard it well enough. She was utterly gobsmacked and had questions. Hailey knew the look in her eye and prepared herself.

“But how? It shouldn’t be possible as the Master of Death the book had stated that only a creature of death could help you make the Heir. Unless there’s more about this boy you haven’t told us?” Hermione said with an imploring look. Ron was still so confused, he was strategically smart, and looked to Hermione to explain.

“What shouldn’t be possible and what do you mean make an heir with?!?”, he was starting to get nervous about the answer.

“Honestly Ronald, didn’t you hear her? Your going to be an uncle.”, then it clicked…but then that means…that Hailey. Ohhhh, that guy is so dead!

“But didn’t Hailey said that she lost that ability since she’s the Master of Death?” he asked.

“With humans Ron, Stefan’s a vampire, a creature of Death.”, she explained slowly. It wasn’t good to tell Ron things fast he needed to hear it clearly then process. With it finally processed Ron had collapsed and fainted, his little pseudo sister is…pregnant! He couldn’t handle the shock. Hermione and Hailey looked at each other. Now to figure out how to tell the rest…great.

*With Stefan Salvatore*

He thought of Hailey the whole way back to Mystic falls while idly touching the marks she left on his neck. His inner vampire was raging at being separated but he calmed it down enough with the reminder that it was safer for her to be away from him. Being away from her made his humanity turn off again. He went home to find the resident Scooby-gang once again plotting. They must have not expected him back yet as it was late and they all flinched when he walked in. Though they soon recovered and eyed him as he past them by but their looks of suspicion turned into ones of disbelief.

“What? You guys look like you’ve never seen the living dead before.”, he said not really caring. It was how vampires were when they had their humanity off they care for nothing and no one. Except a certain emerald eyed beauty.

“What we’re looking at Stefan are those marks on your neck! Where the hell have you been?!”, Elena said with an annoyingly demanding tone. He hadn’t forgotten about the marks, far from it. But he wasn’t going to hide them, he was proud of them and didn’t have to explain himself to Elena of all people. He looked towards her and almost laughed. Elena had a look of jealousy and longing in her eyes as she looked at his neck. She couldn’t believe he already moved on that fast even with his humanity off while she was still pining…and growing feelings for Damon. Though with how his brother was looking between them with barely concealed jealousy and how everyone else had narrowed eyes made him chuckle.

“These, Elena, are called ‘love bites’, a little something I got while I was away doing errands.”, he said with a cruel smile. Everyone’s eyes narrowed in suspicion, he could guess why. But he made a deal with Klaus and unlike a brother and ex of his, he actually plans to pull through with it. He just needed to keep Elena alive until Klaus is satisfied with the amount of hybrids.

“And what little brother was this important errand that required you of all people to get laid.”, Damon said in his usual sarcastic way. He thought of just brushing them off and telling Damon to mind his business until he got an idea. Why not send them on a wild goose chase? Spreads the gang apart and keeps them off his and Klaus’s tracks.

“Let’s just say after…dealing… with a coven of witches in Alabama, I was still a little wound up so a pretty little thing was happy to help me relax.”, he said looking around the room with cold eyes. There were mixed reactions: happy they got a lead but disgusted that Stefan possibly massacred a coven and had meaningless sex afterwards. Bonnie particularly looked resentful towards him. Caroline, Jeremy, and Alaric looked cautious. Elena was beginning to look frustrated at not getting more details about the girl he was with. Damon had a look of mild annoyance. His older brother was so used to having the attention focused on him. Especially, since he had to become a sort of leader. Damon had finally got Elena to notice him and everyone was starting to respect him but then his little brother walked in and everything just gravitated to Stefan. Stefan just chuckled again, he wondered how long it will take them to figure out he just lied to them.

“Well, I only stopped by to say I’m back. Now I need to get back to business.”, he needed to report to Klaus about the status of the the now deceased coven and tell him of his little plan. He sped out of the house it was better to just stay away. If he had stayed any longer he was probably going to be subjected to another lecture. He didn’t need to be saved and he didn’t need to change. Why was that so hard to understand?! He missed Hailey so much. He missed the way she listened to him about his woes with his family and made him see the situation in a new light. If it wasn’t for her, his humanity self would be stuck in self loathing. She helped bring back the light in his life. He hoped she was okay and that she would keep his ring and number with her. She doesn’t need to call him but he feels better knowing that she at least has it. By the time he was finished with his thoughts on the enchanting girl he had reached Klaus’s mansion. Nowadays Klaus actually seemed more easy to bear with than his own brother. He also needed to ask if he could get him another daylight ring, he’ll just say things got rougher than he anticipated with the witches. Though when he walked in Klaus, who was looking through some blueprints for his mansion, had snapped his head up to his direction with a shocked expression. It was unnerving to see. Then it turned into a wolfish grin and said something that turned Stefan’s world upside down.

“Stefan! My favorite ripper, tell me all about Oregon. But specifically start on the girl you claimed and mated, I’m sure that is more interesting than whatever those witches told you.”, how… HOW…did he find out about Hailey?!?

Chapter 12

Immortal Dilemmas

Total silence had filled the Mystic Grill, everyone in town knew that there was tension between the Mikaelsons plus Stefan and the gang. They were waiting for the eventual explosion that usually happens when both groups are in the same area. The occupants of the Mystic Grill couldn’t help but wonder what role the new girl could play especially with her undoubted closeness with the younger Salvatore. What history do the unknown immortal teens share? Klaus would like to believe that in a… complicated situation he’d be able to react appropriately. However, when walking in the Mystic Grill with his sister to try and talk with Stefan about recent news on Hailey Potter, it was announced by the UK government that she had helped in stopping the stream of terrorist attacks and would receive some sort of medal, he could only stand their and gawk at the scene. There sitting with a girl practically on his lap was his little brother, both holding infants. In his gawking he could see Stefan’s mate bond connection with the girl, and finally put Stefan’s description to match. Pale porcelain like skin, emerald green eyes, and ebony curly hair.

He’ll be first to admit that his little brother really scored in receiving such a beautiful mate from the deities. She’s physically young but Klaus can tell from the haunted look in her eyes that she is wiser than her years let on. The good he can make out from the situation that Ms.Potter seems to have missed Stefan as well. The bad is that the residents of Mystic Fall’s is making her greatly uncomfortable and if not rectified soon he may have to restrain a Feral Ripper Stefan. The confusing bit is…the infants. Before he could observe more his sister decided to drag him towards the mates. Stefan noticed them making their way and had some tension bleed out but he was still on edge with the ‘scooby’ gang being so close to his mate and sons.

He could feel his blood starting to boil as the leering looks were still being thrown at his wife. Though that does bring questions to mind that Stefan will have to bring up with Hailey, how do they explain their relationship and their kids to the Mystic Falls’s population? He knows that he wants everyone to know that nothing short of permanent death could separate them and he doesn’t want the town to spread rumors of the boys having a deadbeat dad. Stefan has no shame in displaying that Hailey is taken and that the babies that they were holding are their own. But he has no idea if Hailey wants to do the same, he can’t just be thoughtless they’ll have to discuss it and whatever they decide he’ll have to accept it. A small noise from Cedar jolts him out of his brooding, he was done eating and it seems his brother is too. He follows Hailey’s example in putting the bottles back and placing a rag on his shoulder. They adjust the babies and started to try and burp them, it took Stefan a little while longer as he was still very wary but is learning that his boys are a lot tougher than regular babies.

With the feeding done the Mikaelson siblings had appeared at the table by the time that Hailey had the boys strapped to her again. With both of her hands free and in clear display, many had taken notice that there was a ring on her finger. A very familiar ring…and on her wedding finger! Elena gasped in shock, finally breaking out of her jealous glaring. She remembered how protective Stefan was of his ring, she had once tried to ask to wear it to get a closer look but was ultimately shot down. She presumed the rejection at the time to be due to her not knowing about his vampirism and asking in daylight, but he was still very guarded and protective of his ring after her finding out. Why did this stranger have the privilege to touch it, to wear it, to be so close to Stefan?!? Stefan had been ignoring her for the last 2 months and it just made her want to regain his attention and keep it on her. She does have feelings for Damon but she didn’t want to choose, she couldn’t bear to lose either of them. Stefan made a slight face of annoyance at hearing Elena gasp, goodness what now? In Elena’s delusion she doesn’t realize that she has lost Stefan a while ago.

Rebekah was often envious of humans, they had the chance to have what she could possibly never gain, to settle down. She has had centuries to come to terms with it but it never stopped her from wanting a mate, never stopped her from looking at pregnant women or recent mothers enviously. Seeing the scene that the immortal couple made her slightly bitter but then ultimately confused. She, along with the other Originals, can make out the bond. Stefan had gushed about his mate often enough that she learned about their…coupling. The infants though were a living impossibility…their scent proved ,to any well trained creature, that Stefan’s mate was their mother. She eyed them one was in a dark blue printed suit onesie, no doubt Elijah would have enjoyed, and the other was in a black printed suit onesie. Both the babies and the mother we’re wearing a peculiar family crest. Without thinking she made her way towards them dragging Nik with her. She and Nik nearly tripped once close enough to the table as Stefan gave them a beaming smile, completely unbothered or shocked at the infants belonging to his mate. Her and Nik look towards each other before deciding to pull up some chairs to sit with the young couple, which increased the mumbling and stares. Stefan thought it best to introduce.

“Klaus, Rebekah, I’d like you to meet Hailey Potter. Hailey this is my brother and sister in all but blood Klaus and Rebekah Mikaelson.”, he said bringing Hailey close to him again by wrapping an arm around her waist. She moved slightly to shake their hands and gave them a very warm smile. She offered her greetings and they responded but Rebekah had never been one for subtlety and patience.

“Hello and who are those two adorable bundles of joy with you Hailey?”, she asked. It was just killing the immortal with curiosity of just how the babies came to be, their mother’s first time was with a vampire, the time was very little to even consider that Stefan was possibly a father, but she smelled only of Hailey being intimate with him. All of this confused the hell out of her and she’s sure it confused Nik as well. Hailey bit her lip, she wasn’t sure how to introduce the boys and no doubt whatever she says here would spread like wildfire. But a small part of her mind made itself known, ‘Stake your claim! Announce to everyone that he is yours! YOUR husband, the father of YOUR children! Do it now, there are so many sending him lustful gazes, make it known that is all they could ever do!’. If she thought she was possessive of him when some desk clerk was sending him looks it doesn’t compare to seeing a whole herd of woman leering at him. She turned slightly to Stefan and saw the hopeful look and she hopes that he has the same train of thought as her. She took a deep breath and they both reached for each other’s hands in preparation of the incoming storm. She gave them a shy smile that ,much to Stefan’s chagrin and delight, caused many swoons.

“Well, these two are my sons. The one in the dark blue is Caelan Potter-Salvatore and in black is Cedar Potter-Salvatore.”, silence had reined as the whole grill was gawking. Everyone who pretended not to be listening intently had snapped their heads towards them. Other than the gang everyone had connected what she said. Stefan Salvatore, mystery of Mystic Falls, was a teen parent. Elena in particular had a look of fury on her face, how dare that girl make everyone confused on who her brats were sired by. But she was left gobsmacked when Stefan decided to add in something. She thought she would hear him clear up the confusion, that they were cousins or that the girl was some descendant of his, what he said filled her heart with anguish. Damon while instead of fury had a look of amusement but then it turned to a dark smirk as it brought opportunities.

“And before you say anything, yes I am their father. Me and Hailey had met last year when I was away for a couple of weeks in London. I…hadn’t thought of consequences and next thing we knew she was pregnant. You guys know that this was probably the only chance I was going to get to be a father and Hailey was in the same boat. The thing is where she’s from the higher ups wouldn’t allow her to keep a child that would be born into wedlock. They are a very traditional community. So while she was young they were more concerned about her not having a ring in her finger.”, he let the story and false information sink in. A century and a half had made him a pretty decent liar at least to humans. It may come back to bite him but they needed a human version of how they came to be married and with children. Klaus and Rebekah could hear his heartbeat so they know what parts were true and what wasn’t. So far all they knew was that the boys were definitely his, which itself was heads pinning. He hoped they were ready for the next little load of information.

“I only had known Hailey for a short time but me and her had become very good friends. I had no objection to marrying my best friend. We used my own ring as a wedding ring. The past year we’ve had to go through a bunch of paperwork. Our marriage is now seen by both our governments despite us being minors. We are both emancipated and the boys and Hailey are now registered citizens.”, it’s a botched story at best but it’s what he could come up with to ensure that no one questions them, at least for the meantime. Klaus and Rebekah both had looks of understanding but were still looking at the family in shock. The impossible was accomplished a vampire had procreated, it was a marvel nothing less than a miracle. Klaus couldn’t believe that his brother was married and would need a full story on that but children created from a vampire that was just a tale that needed it’s own book to explain. But he couldn’t help but grin at Stefan, his brother had a face of pure adoration. He looked over at the babies and just marveled at their existence, it made him chuckle in surprise but the smile never left. Rebekah couldn’t help but compare the boys to their parents. Caelan, if she recalled correctly, looked so much like Stefan. But she could see that he had his mother’s nose. Cedar looked more like his mom but that smile is uncannily Salvatore. She as well smiled and marveled at the newest Salvatore brothers.

Hailey noticed them smiling, she wouldn’t mind letting them hold the boys but with Stefan’s brother so close it felt better to have them close to her. She saw Rebekah had a look of yearning when looking at the boys and Klaus, while less intense, had it as well. Then she remembered, Klaus was apart of Stefan’s made family, the same Klaus that he said was the Original Hybrid?! And that would mean Rebekah is also an Original, it made her feel more secure around Damon then. Age plays a factor with a Vampires abilities, the older a vampire the more they are naturally strong the only case in which a younger vampire could overpower an elder is if they had trained hard and pushed their bodies to a degree that could not have been handled if they were human. She was now more at ease at her next action. “Would you like to hold them?”, both Originals look like kids that got caught with their hands in a cookie jar when they were caught staring. Stefan had a teasing grin on his face. Rebekah nodded enthusiastically but Klaus broke out of his stupor and was more hesitant and had a self-deprecating smile on.

“Uh…I’m not sure…babies have never really enjoyed my presence…and…what if I hurt him?”, Klaus had said the last bit in a broken voice that it had shocked his sister. But before she could comfort him, Stefan beat her to it by putting a hand on his shoulder.

“Klaus the boys inherited a certain trait from us that makes it so they aren’t the usual kind of babies you meet. Trust me, you’ll be fine and they’ll love you. I trust you, you won’t hurt my boys. Not to mention I kind of want to get a picture of the boys being held by their uncle if you don’t mind.”, Stefan said sheepishly but with determination. Klaus eyes did not water but he had to blink some dust away. Stefan trusted him enough to hold the little miracles and by deities he was not going to cry about it. He nodded shakily. Hailey took Cedar and gently laid him in Rebekah’s waiting arms. Rebekah absolutely melted over him and fell in love when he opened his eyes to show he inherited them from his daddy. Cedar looked at the strange lady that was not his mommy, she felt safe and felt similar to his daddy. Hailey took Caelan and took a bit of a while to show Klaus how to properly hold him. Klaus was stiff as stone not wanting to disturb the bundle but froze when Caelan opened his eyes. He melted a bit when Caelan let out a coo and moved slightly to go more into the heat source. Caelan took in the man, he felt…in a lack of better words hurt but he was safe, Caelan wanted to get closer to the man in hopes to make him feel a bit better and he was warm like his favorite blanky. Caroline was shocked to see a smile bloom onto Klaus’s face, he had adorable dimples. The Originals were completely enamored with the boys that they didn’t notice Stefan taking out his phone and snapping pictures while holding Hailey close to him and sharing adoring smiles. The occupants of the Grill, save a certain group, sighed happily at the sight. Damon had enough of the mushy atmosphere.

“Leave it to you Stefan to get caught up in a shotgun marriage. Don’t worry brother I’m sure you and her can make some kind of deal of being allowed to see others. After all there is no way that she could be satisfied with you.”, the bubble the group made popped with Damon’s voice. He had a condescending smirk when approaching the table. If Damon was honest he was jealous of the scene, why the hell was Stefan getting everything?! Why was Stefan introducing Klaus as an uncle?! And why the hell is he letting some human girl trap him with some other guy’s kids?! The vampires of the table growled lowly at Damon but it didn’t deter him. Klaus and Rebekah held the boys closer to themselves and away from Damon. Stefan brought Hailey closer to him, they were all hoping this could have waited but leave it to Damon to have terrible timing. Hailey was gripping Stefan’s hand in hopes of sending the message of her being uncomfortable with his brother being closer to them.

“Just what are you trying to imply Damon and tread lightly of how you speak about my wife.”, Stefan had a very dark glare aimed to his brother. One remark about Hailey and Damon would be living without his eyes and tongue if Stefan had his way. Damon raised a eyebrow, Stefan was seriously committing. When Damon stepped closer to leer down at Hailey Stefan stood up ready to tear his brother’s head off witnesses be damned but calmed somewhat when Hailey stood up to hold onto his arm. She did not want the fist call she made to the ministry to be that her husband had gotten rightfully angry and exposed the supernatural to muggles.

“I’m just saying that eventually it’s going to end up being a loveless marriage and it’s better now to make a agreement about how to remain…satisfied. How about me new girl? Trust me, I could satisfy whatever Stefan neglected when those babies were made.”, Damon refuses to let Stefan have this charade play on. And if Stefan really cared for this girl and her brats might as well place doubts here and there that would make it fall apart. But what Damon didn’t expect was for his brother to snap and tackle him to the ground. Hailey stood shocked before she turned to the Originals in a panic. Klaus hurriedly handed her Caelan and went to go and separate the brothers. To humans it looked like an average brutal fight but if it escalated then they would notice large indents being made in human bodies that could not be explained.

Stefan had completely lost it when his brother offered himself to Hailey. His vampire was insulted and angry at Damon’s insinuating at him not pleasing his mate. But he was still in control and was fighting Damon in a way that appeared humanly but actually had the force that would have left a normal guy with his stomach across the room. Damon was shocked but focused back on the fight, he was trying to punch his brother anywhere he could but Stefan had the upper hand with more training and not relying solely on his super strength. It looked to the crowd that Stefan was just repeatedly punching Damon in the face while Damon was unsuccessful to punch him back. Elena had decided to intervene thinking that they were fighting over her and was yelling at Stefan to get off Damon. Stefan of course ignored her and kept going. Klaus had managed to come and pull Stefan away. Rebekah handed Hailey, Cedar when she noticed Damon getting up and trying to finish what he started and went to go and hold him back. But both were trying to get to the other in hopes of taking his brother down. The boys were feeling a lot of negative vibes and started crying.

That spurred their mother, to do something. She understands that Stefan’s vampire wouldn’t let Damon’s remark go unpunished but the boys were taking a toll off the negative energy. And she’ll be damned before she lets her mates brother continue to make her babies cry. “Stefan please!”, at the sound of her voice he stopped and looked to her, he looked down at the boys to see them crying. He stood straight and looked at his feet in shame, how could he let his family see him like this? He didn’t hear Hailey walking towards him so was shocked when he he saw her feet near his. He looked up expecting to see her face of disappointment but was relieved to see her looking at him in understanding and with a little concern. The boys calmed down when close to their father and sensed he was okay. She brushed a tender spot on his cheek, Damon got one good hit in.

“Are you okay?”, she asked with her hand still on his face. He looked to her then to their boys who were strapped back on to her, cuddled up to her chest. He placed his hand on top of hers that was still on his face and placed a lingering kiss to her lips. When he pulled back she was flushed but had a smile on. He looked over her shoulder to see Klaus and Rebekah handing a very bloody and bruised faced Damon to the gang. He was placated now, his family was in his arms and his brother now had an understanding that he was not to be trifled with when concerning his mate. He ignored Elena’s pleading looks to meet eyes and her disappointed gaze. He looked straight back into Hailey’s loving one and put a hand on the boy’s backs.

“I am now.”, he answered with a terse smile.

“Alright everyone out!”, said a exasperated Matt and Jeremy. The other occupants of the grill scurried out taking out their phones to text and call anyone they know about the newest gossip in Mystic Falls. A fight between the Salvatore’s over a girl that wasn’t Elena Gilbert, the new status of the younger Salvatore, and everything they learned about the new girl, Hailey Potter.

With the other occupants out there was only two groups left. The Scooby gang and Team Stefan. Elena was going to march up to Stefan and that girl to break whatever moment they were having. What the hell are they planning they already had Elena!? She was stopped when Klaus and Rebekah stepped in front of her, both had very dark looks.

“Listen here dopplebitch, control your pet! Deal with my brother or not if he tries going after Hailey I’ll tear him to shreds and feed whatever pieces left to the puppies of Nik’s pack! You touch her and Stefan will personally deal with you!”, Rebekah said in a thunderous voice. It was a miracle that they didn’t have to contain a feral ripper, if Damon had touched Hailey after what he said Stefan would have done a lot worse in a open crowd. Elena looked to Klaus expecting to see him glower at Rebekah for threatening her but was shocked to see him silently nodding along.

“You have no idea who she is, Ms.Gilbert. You have no idea what she means to us, to Stefan. You lot leave her and her family alone. Deal or not if your friends can’t respect this rule I will tear each of you apart and paint this town red with your blood. As for you Ms.Gilbert all I need is for your heart to beat and produce blood in no way does that save you from this. I could just simply have you in a coma and bleed you dry. Stay away from Ms. Potter and you get to live you life, simple as that.”, he finished off his threat by flashing his eyes towards the group the huddled together. Elena’s eyes got teary and Damon had a face full of rage. Both look to Stefan but he was facing away from them. Their first date could have gone better but they could head back to Klaus’s mansion to get Hailey some food. He picked her up gently with the boys and sped out of the grill. The Original siblings send one final glare before speeding out leaving the group in silence to think out everything. Caroline had never seen Klaus like this, it caused her undead heart to skip a beat. Jeremy and Matt were wondering what mess would Elena and Damon pull them into again. Bonnie was left in silence thinking of the strange feeling coming off of the new residents of Mystic Falls. Alaric was exasperated and dreading the drama this would bring. Damon and Elena stood near each other both brimming with jealousy and rage. At Klaus’s mansion everyone was in smiles when Hailey’s phone rang. She answered and had to pull the phone from her ear.

“HAILEY JAMIE POTTER WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU!!”, seems her werewolf uncle has been worried.

Oops.

So ,just an idea, how about a new fan fiction?

I’m thinking the avengers are on a mission against Hydra who has started to dig into the realm of invading multiple universes. And as usual once the avengers think they have everything solved and have everyone already incapacitated, there’s that one stubborn agent who wants to hit the self destruct button (but accidentally just hit the on button). And so there’s a big blast and when everyone wakes up their in a different universe. A universe in which mutants are separated from normal humans. They are treated like second class citizens and like criminals. If you guys have ever heard of the Jim Crow laws, think of it like that. Mutants were given only the worst of everything and humans wanted them to not rise up to power. If a baby is born with the mutant gene they are disowned, even if it’s a dormant gene, and are sent off to the mutant section of the city. The mutants/mutates are given a small section of a city to reside in, the section is usually only made up of old broken down buildings. When babies arrive there are usually adults waiting to come and get them. The mutants have a system that in order to live they needed to rely on their powers, so as soon as someone starts to develop them they get sorted into what they could do to help their fellow mutants.

In this universe, Universe XY, the Avengers where comprised of humans that had technology that made them on par with a mutant. Instead of being a team for all of humanity, they were a team that was made to keep mutants in line. This universe’s Avengers only had Iron Man, Hawkeye, War Machine, Black Widow, Ant Man, and Wasp. So,when what looked like to be the Avengers landing in mutant territory, the mutants ran away and went into hiding which confused our normal Avengers a lot (Captain America, Iron Man, White Wolf, Black Widow, Dr.Hulk, Hawkeye, and intern Spider-Man). When Tony had tried to ask a kid, barely 11 years old, that was too scared to move where they were, he almost got his eyebrows scorched off. The kid he was talking to had a fight or flight response when , what could be considered to mutants, the Iron Terror started walking up to him. He was about to yell at the kid to be careful with his powers when suddenly a women had swooped in and stood in front of the kid with tears in her eyes.

She was bawling out, “Please have mercy, he’s only a child. He doesn’t know how to control it yet, if you have to punish someone punish me. I am responsible for him.”

And then like it just hits the Avengers like a tidal wave, these people were afraid of them. The mutants in hiding slowly come out and say the same thing as the women. Until suddenly, a group of people walk up to them, a very familiar group of people. The group had Steve Rogers, James Barnes, James Howlett, Victor Creed, Ororo Munroe, and  Anna Marie LeBeau.

I’m thinking of there being a huge misunderstanding, but eventually the Avengers explain that they were not the Avengers of Universe XY. The group of mutants were only convinced whenever Bucky and Steve had taken of their cowl and mask. So the mutants while still hesitant showed the Avengers to their home. And there the Avengers find a Peter Parker, one that has some exciting news to tell his friends and husband of two years. Peter Parker of Universe XY, 20 years old, husband of Steve Rogers, was ..... pregnant. In this universe a mutant man is fully capable of bearing children.

And of course as usual I have no clue how to proceed. I get frustrated at myself for coming up with an interesting beginning of a story but have no clue as to how to end it.

Normally I love to ship Barry with our favorite arrow loving vigilante Oliver Queen but I also think that SuperFlash is super adorable.

Chapter 21

He was heavily panting though no one could really blame him as what he had just achieved took him months and a tremendous amount of willpower, he was no Hailey but he was able to pull through. He had to move quickly before him mother noticed he had disappeared from the manor. He had at most an hour, he had done well in getting her used to him ignoring her for a small amount of time but she would eventually notice. Without looking back he ran as far as he could away from the manor to avoid his mother hearing him. As soon as he felt that he was a good distance away he apparated to Diagon Alley and headed straight to Gringotts to finish what his father had started.

***a few hours later in Mystic Falls***

What was once a quiet and tranquil abandoned mansion deep in the forest was now an area subjugated to the ranting and complaining of one Lucius Malfoy. He was berating the original mother for having thought of such an unstable plan and internally himself for even thinking that with all her years she would have some sort of wisdom. A fat load of dragon dung did her wisdom help in deterring the Potter family! If anything this could be seen as a minor setback to the family and just make them come closer together.

“Arghhh! Worthless vampire! She couldn’t even do any actual damage what was the point of even using her?! A compulsion spell should have been enough to cause at least some bodily harm. I thought you said that the boy was younger than her, shouldn’t he have been weaker?!”, it was quite the unattractive look for Lucius, his face was red with furry clashing terribly with his platinum blonde hair. Esther was of the same state not caring to being talked to as if an underling but needing the abominations momentarily put up with some of the undermining talk. But she needed him to know or at least think that the plan wasn’t entirely pointless.

“He is younger and he should have been weaker than her! No doubt that my abominations have something to do with it. But fret not dear Lucius, now that they’ve dealt with that waste of space their guards are let down.”, her face was set in displeasure at the thought of her mistakes but turned into a sinister smirk, which Lucius hesitantly copied.

“Which will be the perfect time for us to get them. That harlot Potter just had to spread her legs for that undead filth. Now instead of having to just get rid of her mate we need to rid her of those filthy halflings! She’ll be distraught enough that my son can easily swoop in and claim her.”, it was considered absolute sacrilege to even consider harming a child of the magical community, but to find out that his son had lost his chance to impregnate Potter made him absolutely mental. Even more so with the ridiculous creature protection laws but Lucius Malfoy is determined to have Hailey Potter under his boot or at the very least gain her position of power in their community. He’s willing to even do the world a great service by getting rid of the plague of vampirism. He was thinking up a plan and voicing them to Esther when Perseus ran in.

“Malfoy! I have some news from home! It’s terrible, your son is rebelling!”, Parkinson said while In between pants. Lucius had thought ahead in keeping up with the news back home and got the Prophet to deliver them. He rushed back to their dingy base once he had read the news, Draco had been able to break out of his father’s imperious orders and get to Gringotts to declare his father unfit to run family affairs. Lucius had never before whipped around his head so fast and had never turned red so quickly.

“What?!??!”, after reading the article his face once again became red with anger but it was more intense and clashed even more horribly with his platinum hair. He ripped the paper to bits and shouted out. He then proceeded to break anything in the room the muggle way. Esther sat back on a recently transfigured chair and rubbed her forehead tiredly as she watched the damage unfold. Things had gotten a lot more difficult.

*****

Everyone was on edge even though Katherine had been dealt with, it wasn’t enough to ease all their nerves. The Originals were told about how Hailey’s immortality worked. Like Klaus they assumed that it worked similarly to theirs: eternally youthful but still very much killable. When in fact hers was true immortality: She was unable to stay dead. But it still made them worried, Stefan had felt the bond tear painfully and then mere minutes after become somewhat mended. He had gone feral and Klaus worries about his mentality if Hailey died again but came back again. One thing was for certain, the couple didn’t want to be apart and clung onto each other harder than before and everyone was happy Katherine was gone, well almost everyone.

When Damon and Elena came to everyone was gone but Katherine had been left behind. Seeing as how she was still breathing made the Originals question why they were just leaving her free. The wizards then explained the terrifying powers of the dementors, in their mere presence you shall fear the coldness of death and relive your worst memories. Their kiss, however, was much worse. A dementor kiss meant that your very soul was to be sucked out and it leaves the victim as nothing more than a living husk. Bill tried to say to make them understand is that she was like a brain dead patient: living but no chance whatsoever to recover. That gave the barely enough assurance they could leave her…she’ll eventually just die on her own.

Damon was more erratic and frantic than Elena had ever seen before. They had heard the whole explanation of what Potter did to Katherine. While apart of her is horrified of what Potter is capable of another part is silently thankful that Katherine won’t be able to harm her anymore. Damon, however, looked absolutely distraught. He was kneeling near Katherine and holding her close but she was just…there. Damon had thought to bring her blood to maybe get some reaction but nothing he did had gotten her to even flinch. Internally, Elena was sneering at the scene but outwardly she had a look of remorse. How dare Damon lead her on when he still had feelings for Katherine. (Pot calling the kettle black)

She stepped forward to put her hand on his shoulder when he looked like he had given up but she was unpleasantly surprised and terrified when Damon had stood up quickly and hissed at her. “DON’T TOUCH ME, ELENA!”, it’s as if Damon’s golden image that he had been carefully crafting was breaking apart. He had tried so hard to play the bad boy turned good to get Elena. Katherine had long made her decision and showed that he was really nothing to her other than a plaything but Elena…she looked just like her and to Damon that was enough. He was even planning to slowly turn her and change her personality to be more like Katherine. But seeing the real deal practically dead at his feet cause everything to start breaking in his head.

“Damon?!”, she was startled and flinched back, she didn’t notice the flash of remorse in his eyes but was immediately replaced by anger.

“She gone Elena! Everything I have ever done was to have HER and now she’s gone!”, he was started to let angry tears out.

“But, Damon you still have-“, she tried to appeal to him, if anything to calm him down.

“You’ll never be her! You could never replace her! I can’t believe I was stupid enough to believe that YOU could ever be enough!”, his chest heaving he sped out of the house. He needed a drink, a strong one and maybe a few sorority girls. He left Elena alone and for the first time she really realized that she was alone. Everyone had either distanced themselves or turned on her, she was alone. A small creak came from the entrance and her heart leaped maybe Damon had realized that she was not a replacement. But her look of hope turned into confusion… and a hint of fear.

“Who are you?”

*With Hailey Potter*

The Potter mansion had been filled to the brim once everyone one decided that there was safety in numbers to if anything to ease paranoia. It turned out Katherine had fed from a member of the pack, just as Hailey feared, but Katherine luckily just drained him and then snapped his neck. So long without appropriate amount of blood would have made anyone look appetizing to a vampire. The Originals got to see first hand how much their brother’s pack meant to him. Klaus had went into a slight panic but was placated once the young hybrid had recovered.

It had been about a month since the incident. The pack, after learning what Katherine had done and was planning to do to the twins, had become a bit more protective and took their patrols a lot more seriously. Hailey was thankful but she didn’t want to spend time away from her new home. She had just gotten everything to feel like home, moving portraits of her ancestors were hung up, family heirlooms were placed in their respective areas, and most importantly the final extension to the mansion was finished. Since even before becoming the mistress of death she had a connection to Thestrals that she couldn’t explain. It was only until after it made sense why the Thestrals had practically herded themselves around her in CoMC and why they would even go as far as to allow her to touch their wings and ride them.

She had gotten an extension to the mansion property that was completely invisible to the muggles. She had decided to keep a herd of thestrals and they had just arrived and was bonding with her and the others but the the whole fiasco happened. She didn’t want to just leave her herd. The hybrids and the originals let her know that they understood completely. Next thing she knew she was opening the door to let them in to indulge their protective nature.

Stefan was another story. They had been able to move them to their room after Hailey had passed out and the small family had been left to cuddle and just enjoy her presence and breathing until she could wake up. When she woke, Stefan had calmed down and was no longer running on instinct and the boys had taken the chance to start attempting to hold their heads up by themselves. She had unshed tears in her eyes as she drew them close to her, utterly relieved that she was able to save her boys and keep Stefan stable.

But she couldn’t help but chuckle at Stefan’s recent habit of following her around like a lost puppy. When cooking in the kitchen, he was seated at the granite island watching her until he decided he was too far and held her around the waist until she was done. When attending to the thestrals he would trail behind her and be holding her hand while she pet and primed them. The thestrals seemed amused by it. Even when just looking after Cedar and Caelan he can’t seem to help himself, it seemed Stefan needed a constant reminder that she was moving and breathing right in front of her. She didn’t know how to address the problem, she loved the physical presence of her husband but she was worried about his mental health. She knew that perhaps he needed a night to distract himself. Maybe a night out would do him some good, prove to him that they can still be out and about without worrying about her keeling over.

He’s hesitant about going out. At home he has his family and it was his safe place but he won’t lie it would be nice to go out, he’s beginning to go a little stir crazy. He just wants to keep Hailey safe, her whole life she’s had to look after herself and for others. He just wants her to know that he’s there and she’s his to take care of and look after. But one night out with just him and his wife won’t kill anybody…

He agreed and he was happy that he had said yes as his wife had smiled at him so sweetly. She didn’t want to start him off on something big like traveling out of town. She wanted to ease him into a safer mindset not full on catapult him, so she thought maybe something familiar would help. She advised a small night out, then said with a faint blush, “We could treat it like a date? I was never really with anybody before you and I was hoping to go on a real date like I used to see on the television?”, she rarely did it but when she was younger while sneaking out of her cupboard to swipe some food from the kitchen she would sometimes turn the tv on and put the volume all the way down to watch it. It was once the most thrilling did she did before getting into Hogwarts.

His heart melted at how excited she was for something so simple. “What kind of date do you have in mind?”, he smiled at how she perked up at his question.

“I’ve always wanted to go to the cinema! I was never allowed to growing up and there isn’t anything like it in the wizarding world! And maybe we could grab something to eat after, I always heard from my relatives at how ridiculous movie theater food prices were.”, his smile turned into a small frown when he heard this she wasn’t allowed to but her relatives had gone? He rarely ever hears her speaking of her relatives but there was never a kind story or fondness spoken of by Hailey. Before she noticed his frown he snapped his previous face back on. The Ripper in him wanted to personally meet with her relatives, he made a mental note to speak with Klaus about it.

“Sounds like a plan, movie then dinner shall I pick you up and bring you back by curfew to ensure your brothers we weren’t up to mischief?”, he said in a teasing tone to help ease his personal atmosphere. He didn’t expect for her to smack his arm lightly with a smirk on her face.

“What else kind of mischief could we possibly get into? Me lose my purity? I’m sure our boys prove otherwise, us getting hitched in Vegas? We’re already married!”, she said with laughter. It wasn’t long until he joined in as well. They assembled everyone into the drawing room and told them their plans on a night out. They protested at first until Hailey started to glare at everyone. Stefan squeezed her shoulder and stepped up.

“We know you just want to protect us but we’d like some alone time.”at the kicked puppy expressions on everyone’s faces he was quick to add in some comforting words. “How about if a few of you come along like a silent security detail? We still get a semi private time and you guys can look after us? But not all of you we still need babysitters for the boys!”, everyone agreed and started to draw straws at who can go and who could stay. He looked to Hailey who was just shaking her head fondly at the scene. It was set that four hybrids would come with them, with Tyler included. And two hybrids would be the main caregivers for the boys for the night. Main ones since it was impossible to say that any of the hybrids could resist coming up to play with the boys however short a time.

He was starting to get excited as he started getting ready, a date with his wife. He dressed in a pale blue polo shirt with his favorite black leather jacket over and wore a pair of dark denim pants. He was looking for his dark boots when his wife came into the closet as well to find a pair of shoes. He looked at her dress and admired how stunning she was. Hailey decided to wear the new dress Becca had gotten her, a black long sleeve clasi mesh insert square neck flare hem dress. She paired the dress with her now ever present family pendant and her recently found platform chunky high heels. She hasn’t worn heels since Bill’s wedding but it a special occasion might as well. She didn’t notice how her husband was admiring her when she bend down to get her shoes. She stood up and proceeded to her vanity to put her hair up, she decided to have her bangs on display and have the rest of her hair tied in a ponytail.

She smiled at Stefan when she noticed him coming up behind her in the mirror. He leaned down once she was finished and placed a kiss on her pulse point with his arms coming around her waist. She turned slightly to place a kiss on the corner of his mouth. He went in for a deeper kiss but was indignant when she placed her hand on his mouth. “Uh uh! We don’t want to be late now do we love?” He groaned exaggerating his dismay at not being able to have his wife’s lips. She smirked at him teasingly and went to get him his recently acquired pendant. She snapped it on his neck and tapped his nose. “In due time luv.” He smiled and extended his arm gentleman like. She linked her arm with him and they both walked down to meet with everyone. She hoped everyone would like the new movie she had chosen for them to watch. It was exciting from what she heard about it, though what a strange name, Fast and the Furious.

It was certainly exciting and Hailey was practically entranced. Since she was 11 she focused primarily on the wizarding world so seeing the movie was a culture shock. Stefan and her whispered during the film about how impressive the cars were. Stefan had enjoyed it as he got to see cool cars and snuggle with his wife in the dark. He also got to see how much of an adrenaline junkie his wife was at her smiling very hard in the race scenes. The hybrids wanted to give them some space so they split up into different corners of the theater where they had a clear view of the couple without interfering with them. Stefan’s only problem was that people kept staring at them or specifically his wife. He tensed up and it took Hailey giving him a kiss to calm him down. At seeing how uncomfortable Stefan was getting she glared at anyone who was watching them, Stefan relaxed as he felt the stares leave them. He smiled apologetically at Hailey but she just smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek for his troubles.

By the time the movie ended Stefan made eye contact with each of the hybrids and a swift head motion to show that they were about to leave. Hailey had the right idea of him not being ready to go to some faraway fancy restaurant and the Mystic Grill had good fries. He sent a quick text to Klaus and the others that they were fine and on the move. He got a lot of ‘be safe’ text from them in response, it brought a smile to his face. His overprotective family demanded a picture of them. He and Hailey posed in a typical teen fashion and sent it off. Hurrying to his car as his hearing had picked up her tummy rumbling. She was blushing since she knew he heard it.

*At the Mystic Grill*

It was a quiet night for once at the grill, Stefan was a little worried as he never had seen the grill this empty before. Hailey pointed out that it was a school night and Hermione had said it was also close to some sort of mid year test going on. So most of the usual occupants are home. He relaxed a bit at the explanation, he was glad the hybrids had came, it felt good to know that there was backup near. Hailey had chosen a booth to sit at, she was really going for a cliche date but he smiled at how cute she was trying to make it happen. A server came and took their order, Hailey immediately ordered some pie on the side of her burgers and fries and Stefan asked his burger be on the rare side. Stefan recently had taken an interest in what the wizarding world offered for creatures. He was originally mad at how his sons would be treated because of their lineage but he was glad that Hailey had people back home that were determined to make it fairer for them. After hearing that news he couldn’t help be curious about what was happening and he was insanely curious about the magical world in America. Hailey chatted about it excitedly, she hasn’t gotten a chance to really explore the magical world in America so she proposed maybe she could take him on a ‘magical’ date. The corny joke made them both laugh which slowly died down as there was a sudden bang coming from the entrance of the grill. Stefan saw the hybrids stand up quickly and soon he found out why. Damon was at the entrance of the grill and Stefan had never seen him looked so unhinged.

Hey, have you thought about maybe making a master list for your story, Immortal Dilemmas?

Hi! To be honest I don’t even know how to make a master list. I can try though. I’ll try to have it done in a couple of days.

Chapter 17

Immortal Dilemmas

Death does not discriminate. Whether they are old or young, rich or poor, man or woman, evil or good death would come to claim when Fate had deemed their life had been long enough. There are those who try to avoid Death and believe they fooled death by gaining semblance of immortality. Death does not take likely to such foolery. There was a reason for why Mother Nature made even them have weaknesses, they do not wish to enact their sibling’s wrath. The only ones that Death deemed to have the privilege of avoiding them is of course their mistress and her family. Even then there will be a day that Death will claim them as well but unlike other mortals their mistress embraces death much like her mate, they accept death. But then there are others who believe that they do not deserve death and wish to avoid them at all cost, such arrogance does not go unpunished.

Death quite enjoys showing the overconfident and arrogant mortals that all they did was buy time but that was all. In the end the first ‘Immortals’ where taught that their time came at a very steep price just as the Peverell Brothers did. When a Wiccan dared to repeat the past transgressions made by another fool, Death ensured that her road into the afterlife would be excruciating. Especially since hearing that one day the children she had maltreated would one day mean a great deal to their master. The realm that death send her to would ensure as such but as of late they feel something was amiss. Someone was trying to undo their work! They could see Magic could sense it as well but before they could intervene Fate had arrived. They usually just reside in their own realms, they were both in Death’s realm appearing as James Potter and Sirius Black. Fate came to them as a figure with a hooded cloak.

“You’ll do well to leave them to their own devices,siblings.”, Fate said with their usual superior tone. Like death most forces don’t get in their way but instead of fear it was more to save a figurative headache. Fate can be a bitch if they didn’t get what they want in they wanted it. Magic and Death, however, couldn’t have cared less at that moment.

“I’ll be damned if I let some delusional mortal become a vexing to MY MISTRESS!”, Death said with a thunderous tone. Glaring at their sibling so intensely that it made them flinch but hold their ground. Fate was about to speak but was interrupted by Magic.

“Nor will I allow such a heinous use of me to become another dilemma for MY CHOSEN!”, Magic out of all their siblings Death and Magic had to be the one’s most hated by Fate. No matter their carefully crafted plans if Death and Magic decided on going off course there wasn’t much that Fate could do in retaliation. In came the tantrum.

“I HAVE LET BOTH OF YOU DICTATE ENOUGH OF HER JOURNEY! IF SHE IS TRULY WORTHY OF YOUR ATTENTION AND TITLES THEN SHE WILL OVERCOME IT! If not then that child was not wor-“, Fate did not get to finish their sentence as both of their siblings decided to send a wave of power to knock them away.

“DO NOT SPEAK ANOTHER ILL WORD OF HER! That child, as you put it, has overcome obstacles and pain that you as a mortal could never dare to approach or hope to bear!”, Magic said trying to reel back their anger from such slander of their chosen.

“It must happen Magic. If not dealt with now that Wiccan would just be more of a threat to your dear chosen. Besides she is not the only impudent mortal that will come.”, Fate said after picking themselves up and dusting themselves off. Magic made a move to knock the down again but was held back by Death and they looked at their sibling curiously.

“Wait Magic…think. Though as I loathe to admit it Fate has a point. Our Hailey has survived and conquered what no other could begin to imagine. We must…not intervene.”, it pained Death but Fate needed to run their course. The only way to help Hailey is that she could still use the gifts and powers bestowed upon her. Magic was baffled.

“BUT-!!”, Magic was of course protective of their Chosen. Their vessel was a her father and a father’s duty was to protect their family.

“Enough! This must happen or consequences will be troublesome.”, Fate said bitingly tired of having to argue about not getting their way. Both Magic and Death were annoyed by their outburst. Death nodded to Fate begrudgingly. They had to nudge Magic to do the same.

“FINE!”, they said. Not happy with having to put Hailey in any risk.

~Back in Mystic Falls~

Hailey was glad that Klaus had made good progress with his brothers. Elijah was a gentleman, Finn was quite curious over everything, and Kol seemed very interested in her kind and magic in general. She feel it best to not yet inform him about her ‘chosen’ status. They’ve only been awake for barely a couple of hours. She and the family had just welcomed the pack in and got them settled. She’ll have to speak to Klaus later when he believes it would be appropriate for the pack to go back to base. But until then she quite enjoyed the feeling of a full house.

She and Stefan had recently decided to not attend school. Hermione and Ron would have liked for them to but they understood. Hailey and Stefan have forever to go back to school but they cannot go back to enjoy the boys growing. Just that morning sealed their decision, the boys had reacted to peek-a-boo with their first laughs. It started with Stefan doing tummy time and Hailey recording them. Soon Caelan had started giggling and that triggered Cedar. Stefan had looked up with happy astonishment on his face and saw his wife had happy tears. They both had seen yet another stage of their boys growing and they don’t want to miss anything.

On the first day classes had started Hailey had gone to see Hermione and Ron off. Of course Stefan and the boys tagged along, he had been teaching the wizards to drive along with teaching his new older brothers how to as well. Hailey was a fast learner but had a tendency to be a speed junky, same with Kol. Ron, Remus, and Finn took a bit longer to learn what everything in the car could do but soon got the hang of it. Thankfully he had Hermione to rely on to teach sometimes as well as she was previously taught. It was when they went to a car dealership that Stefan had got a brief glimpse how wealthy Hailey was.

She had barely blinked when she decided to buy three new cars for the family. Stefan had persisted in paying for half of the cost and she had said, “Stefan, don’t worry about it! I could buy every car in the lot and it would barely leave a dent in my inheritance”. She had proceeded to buy the red BMW that Ron was eyeing, she gotten herself a blue ford mustang, and for Remus a black Mercedes. He could tell from the way Remus eye was twitching that they had been over it before but weren’t allowed to say anything. They rode into the school parking lot, garnering a lot of attention staff and student alike. Caroline and Tyler were there to be sure that the magicals were comfortable at the muggle school. While exchanging goodbyes a cough was heard, a very aggravating voice followed behind it.

Elena has had a very crappy last few months. First Stefan had gotten trapped by that freak of nature and said freak of nature continued to cause chaos around town. Elena was still fairly popular but not as much as the Potter’s. They came from old money, they were mysterious, and had gotten into the good books of the now second most rich family in Mystic Falls. Elena felt her temper flare up any time she heard the older people of the town talk about Potter in a sympathetic voice or hear girls envying Potter’s clothes and luck in spouse. She just about had a tantrum when she heard some males leer and lewdly talk about Hailey Freaking Potter and ignore her presence completely. Seeing the mushy scene she had to do something.

“You guys shouldn’t be making such a big scene. Hurry up or else we’ll be late! Stefan, what’s your first period?”, Elena’s plan was to break up the domestic scene and isolate her friends and Stefan from the Potter’s. She’s so frustrated with them being friends with them that all she wanted to do was shake them until some sense got into their heads. She batted her eyes at Stefan and made a sight pout, it used to make Stefan wild. She was unpleasantly surprised at his response.

“I’m not in school anymore, we’re just here to see Ron and Hermione off. Me and Hailey decided to stay home with the boys-“, he didn’t get to finish as Elena unleashed an honest to god tantrum.

“Stefan that is so irresponsible of you! You can’t just drop out! How the hell are you gonna support your ‘family’-“, she didn’t get to finish as Stefan interrupted her. How the hell was she supposed to keep him away from Potter is he’s at home with her all day, every day!

“Incase you forgot Elena! My family is pretty wealthy and so it Hailey’s. We can get a proper education later but right now we don’t want to miss out on the boys.”, Stefan was starting to get fed up with Elena’s entitled attitude towards how he should spend his time. If he wanted to raise his kids with his wife instead of going to school that was his business.

“But-, then how are we supposed to hang out and talk if you’re going to be at home!?”, Elena’s sputtering and ranting was gaining a lot of attention, onlookers had never seen this side of the Gilbert Good Girl. Some were a bit weirded out that she was clinging to a guy that already had kids and was happily married.

“Elena!! We aren’t together anymore remember, we’re not even friends! Any chance of being friends ended when you insulted Hailey and behaved like a straight up stalker!”, Stefan snapped. Now everyone was looking at Elena horrified. What in the world was going on through that girl’s head?

“I’m sorry that you decided that some girl-“, how could Stefan let some new girl come between them! Sure she had feelings for Damon but she knew deep down that they were supposed to be together! She didn’t get to tell him as such because it seems that Elena’s voice has become a new torture tactic for Stefan. Hailey had to hold his hand to calm him down, the sight made Elena more mad if it was possible. And the onlookers were able to tell.

“I’m going to stop you right there because Hailey is not just some girl! She’s my wife! The mother of my children! So yes she means more to me than your delusional relationship that you made in your head! Just let it go Elena and move on. Guys we’ll see you when you get home. Tyler, Caroline take care of them, okay?”, after getting a nod and sympathetic smile from them, Hailey and Stefan made their way back to their car to drive home. Elena made a move to follow them but was blocked by four angry supernatural teenagers. At seeing Caroline and Tyler’s glares she decided to start ranting again.

“I can’t believe you two! You betrayed us and went to the enemy!? Are you guys insane?!”

“Get real Elena, we became their friends there’s nothing wrong with that. We stopped being friends with you because you have become seriously sick in the head!”, Tyler said uncaringly. His words are typical as Tyler was known to be a harsh asshole but him defending the new family was quite the spectacle. Tyler had since sworn his loyalty to his Alpha and his family which included Hailey. He’ll be damned before he lets Elena spout off stupid crap. At Tyler’s words, Elena looked to Caroline for assistance but all Caroline did was turn her nose up and away from her.

“Miss Gilbert, you’ll be wise to leave us alone. From what we’ve heard about you, we really don’t want to be put in your vicinity.”, Hermione said in cold voice. Elena could practically feel the outsiders magic trying to suffocate her.

“Just leave us alone, alright? And if we hear you trying to badmouth or hurt our sister you’ll be sorry.”, Ron didn’t want to hurt a muggle girl, but from what he’s heard from his brother-in-law,he’s willing to hurt anyone who tries to hurt Hailey. A lion never leaves a member of the pride to fend for themselves. Elena was doing a good impression of a fish. They all moved past her with Hermione shoulder checking her.

As soon as they were inside they could feel everyone’s stares and hear the whispers. They paid them no mind and just headed to class. Ron had Tyler in all his classes so nobody dared to get close and ask questions. Less they wish to get decked by Tyler, who was known for having a short fuse. Hermione had Caroline, who let out a tongue lashing about respecting privacy to get people away. Elena was glaring at the quartet throughout the day. If she had been focusing she would have noticed that her friends and even her brother were all trying to avoid her.

Bonnie has been successfully avoiding Elena. She doesn’t trust the Originals but she was not going to risk her life saving Damon of all people. She can relate to what Coraline has said and couldn’t believe Elena. She seen the Potters around town, people had been calling the family that due to it seeming that they just follow everything Hailey Potter did and said. It was surreal to see, like the President with their secret service or something. The school was spreading rumors about Elena being Stefan’s stalker and some kids were even starting to worry that she might try to hurt the Potter Matriarch. After a long hectic first day she was happy to get home and just sleep. However when she woke up she found herself in a strange cave

In front of her was a coffin. What in the- how did she get there? She then, as if in a trance, made her way to it and opened the coffin. Inside it was a beautiful woman. Blonde hair, fair skin, and very traditional clothing. The resemblance to the Original sister popped into her mind. She then felt herself sit down on the ground, she vaguely noticed a circle around her being drawn by an unseeable force. But the trance on her was too strong. Whispers of an ancient language brushed by her ears. A bowl in front of her had lit ablaze and was only put out once she drew blood. When the fire went out, she took a large gasp. As if waking from a nightmare or the startling realization one could move after feeling the affects of sleep paralysis.

Bonnie looked up and her eyes met with a bright blue.

As an unwanted mother resurfaced, familiar faces have arrived via portkey.

Chapter 5

Immortal Dilemmas

*Stefan Salvatore*

Stefan stood with his back towards Klaus shocked still. How did he know? But he was still stuck on the last part of what Klaus had said, ‘mated’. On an instinct he knew that he meant Hailey, it was why he was so determined to have her stay safe but it was the first time he was really acknowledging it. Klaus while more bearable than his brother was still an all powerful Original Hybrid. His vampire was recognizing that Klaus while an ally could easily turn into a threat to Hailey. But to his surprise Klaus had scoffed, as if Stefan had truly offended him. He turned towards the hybrid and he saw that there was a look of annoyance on his face.

“Honestly Stefan with how much we have gotten along I’m surprised of your hesitation. But then again…my past behaviors haven’t exactly shown it but I do enjoy having you around.”, did Klaus Mikaelson just say that in a sheepish tone? He and Stefan had gotten along fine with or without humanity involved. There was just always a conflict of interest. In the 20’s it was because of Mikael finding them and he couldn’t risk it but if it wasn’t for that Stefan would have stayed his best friend and brother. Recently it was being because of the doppelgänger but it was resolved with Stefan turning his humanity off. A vampire finding a mate was rare. It was considered sacred and it was one of the few rules that must be upheld in the community. Klaus being around for a long time had seen a total of five pairs of mates. Not everyone can pick up when a creature gets a mate, it takes a long time to notice signs. They all had the signs that Stefan showed. Change in scent and lasting claim marks. He’s had a thousand years to hone his senses to better detect it. Only when vampires reach five hundred years can they notice the bonds. He could still see a stiffness in Stefan, he figured now was a good time as any to finally let Stefan remember. He sped towards Stefan and held him in place by the shoulders.

“Stefan let me make this clear to you, I see you as a brother. And family means everything to me. You know this, but I think it’s time you remember it.”, Klaus had said his last sentence with his compulsion on. With it said everything came rushing back. Him and Klaus meeting because of Rebekah, the Original Sister. He remembered his brief romance with her. But more importantly he remembered that he and Klaus were like brothers.

When his flashback was over he looked to Klaus and rethought everything. From his memories he now knew that Klaus was more of a brother to him than Damon had been. Klaus had protected him, taught him, encouraged him, and acknowledged his talents. While Damon had always done the opposite. Damon left him unprotected and scared when he was turned, left him to learn his new powers by himself, put him down and made the same jokes about his character for centuries, and Damon was always jealous and angry when Stefan had something good in life. Damon was more of a threat than Klaus. Klaus was only perceived as a threat because in the past he was after Elena and was willing to paint the town red for it. Now though Stefan knew how desperate Klaus was to unlock his hybrid status. He had described it to Stefan as having a limb that he could always feel and move being tied behind his back. It was there but tied down for a thousand years. Anything like that would make anyone desperate.

He made a decision then and there, Klaus was a powerful ally and wanted Stefan to be his brother again and so did Stefan. Stefan needed and wanted Klaus to be on his side especially since Hailey is his mate, he’ll need help keeping her away and safe from the Scooby-Gang. They would not hesitate to use her to have Stefan obey them to take Klaus down.Klaus waited anxiously, watching Stefan.

“…Klaus, I want you to swear to me. Swear on your family that what I tell you about her, you won’t tell anyone. I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that you can still be my brother just…please…promise that you can help me keep her safe.”, he’s going to trust Klaus. The mere thought about Hailey being hurt, it was like he was human again and vulnerable to everything. His vision was getting blurry, he blinked and realized that he was close to letting tears fall. He was feeling again, Hailey always seemed to have that affect on him. Klaus was baffled, he knew that mating bonds were strong, but Stefan’s was able to make him feel while he was supposed to have his humanity off. As to Stefan’s request, he’ll help. Other than the fact that Stefan was like a brother to him, he didn’t ask for him to protect his mate he asked him to help. He squeezed Stefan’s shoulders to get his attention.

“Stefan, I Niklaus Mikaelson swear on my family name that I will help you keep your mate safe and protected.”, to Stefan it was as if a giant boulder was lifted up his shoulders. Klaus was planning to have Stefan turn back on his emotions but it seems he didn’t need to. Stefan’s humanity was back on due to the overwhelming amount of happiness and gratitude that he had.

“Now with that out of the way. Tell me all about this girl.”, Stefan had started to blush. Oh dear, his little brother was absolutely whipped over this girl.

“Her name is Hailey Potter. She’s from the UK. As you could guess we met on my way back from that coven, by the way they said there wasn’t anything in their magic that could help on changing the need for human doppelgänger blood. PS if anyone asks you sent me to Alabama to kill a coven that was getting out of line. Anyway she had gotten into a crash and was walking because she couldn’t call for help. I saw her on the side of the rode and I thought that as soon as she got into my car I would drain her dry but I just couldn’t.”, Stefan was a ripper so hearing that he was able to say no to blood was surprising. A bigger surprise was that Stefan’s mate was human. Out of the five pairs he had met, all of them were already turned. He stopped Stefan to confirm.

“Wait! Your mate is a human?”, Stefan just nodded his head not seeing the big deal. Deities Almighty, someone help these Salvatore’s.

“Stefan, since the beginning of vampires there has never before been a match between a vampire and human.”, though it could explain why Stefan’s mate bond feels differently than the others. With werewolf mates the bond feels wild and like instant love but contained with loyalty . Vampires mates bond feels mellow, patient love, and open. But Stefan’s feels extremely different, it feels like unconditional love tied with so many others, but the most obvious he could feel was the support. He can’t feel the complete bond without the other half not here, but it was still an impressively strong bond. He let Stefan continue.

“Well, I don’t know how it happened. I just know that hurting her felt wrong. We were in the car for a while before I decided to break the silence. I asked what she was doing in America. And the conversation just evolved from there. She had lost someone important to her due to all the crazy stuff that happened over there. I gave her my condolences but she looked like she was so used to hearing it, so I told her about my past in a human version. I don’t know why, but something in me wanted to connect with her. We did connect after sharing our woes, I needed a drink but I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving her so, I invited her along. There was this guy at the bar we were at…I almost killed him in front of everyone because he touched her.”, a little concerning but with Stefan’s past it’s not surprising. Vampires are known to be possessive not protective. Stefan, however, has had a past of violently losing the things he’s loved and his vampire recognizes that. Though if he was ready to kill in front of everyone,why didn’t he?

“Why didn’t you? At the time you didn’t exactly have the capability to care.”

“Because being with Hailey made me care. I didn’t want to scare her so I just threatened the guy…with decapitation.”, he added with a sheepish tone. Ah, again, the bond was strong enough to make Stefan care with his humanity off even before they were mated, intriguing. He let Stefan continue.

“I had to use compulsion so they wouldn’t card us but we started drinking together. When we were leaving Hailey…surprised me, she made the first move. As it turns out I was given her first kiss. And then we got a little carried away, and I ended up also…taking her virginity.”, Klaus had to struggle not to laugh at how red Stefan became. Most vampires do not wish to have a virgin human girl as bed partner, it could lead to them losing their control. He decided to tease Stefan a bit, it’s what brothers are for.

“Why Stefan you don’t mean that you two took part doing the devils dance?”, it was hilarious to see Stefan turn as red as a tomato. He couldn’t exactly do this back in the 20’s considering it was his sister that was with Stefan at the time. Thankfully, Rebekah has moved on to that human named Matt Donavan.

“So, how did she look?”, he said with curiosity and to his surprise, Stefan groaned. What happened?

“She is unfairly gorgeous. Everything she did was unintentionally seducing me. She had the most gorgeous black hair. Her eyes reminded me of emeralds. And her skin was fair and it was so soft to the touch.”, he should stop fantasizing about Hailey before he gets a…problem in front of Klaus. Klaus will once again think it, his brother was totally whipped.

“But that night when we were sleeping I had a nightmare, people kept showing up telling me I was going to ruin her, that if she stays with me it would be signing her death warrant. When I woke up she was still sleeping, I just couldn’t drag her into this but I still wanted to have something with her. I left her my ring and my phone number…also I need to get a ring.”, Stefan looked like a kicked puppy at the remembrance of having to leave Hailey. But he had made up his mind as long as Damon and the others have the drive to try and get rid of Klaus, she wouldn’t be safe with him. But if a day came that she wanted to come to him or him to her, he would at least know that Klaus has his back.

I FOUND IT

A while ago I was looking for a specific fanfiction about a female Harry Potter and Cedric and someone had commented that they had wanted to read it as well. It’s a cute little story.

It’s called Returned from War (Victorious) by Ellroy. ( in the tags they mentioned that they did not want their work to be reposted anywhere so I can’t add a link I think).

I do not own this and the person who did write this is awesome 🤩

As the the third tasked arrived Cho had started to notice that Potter and Cedric seemed to have become closer and closer. It made her stomach twist in unbearable knots and fury rage through her. She had to watch in undetected anguish as Potter and Cedric had walked hand in hand to the entrance to the maze and bid each other a good luck kiss. She felt like throwing up at the mere sight. The first spark of red lights had appeared and she had a hope flourish in her that Potter had given up or was horribly hurt beyond repair. But it had turned out to be Delacour. Then, a second flourish of hope appeared with another string of red lights, it was quickly crushed as it was Krum. That had left her dear Cedric against that chit, Potter. Some time had passed by until suddenly Cedric and Potter appeared in front of them. Only something was wrong with Potter. The sight of seeing Cedric holding Potter against his chest while caressing her head had send painful twist through her but she noticed something was off. Potter ….. she wasn’t moving! And she didn’t look to be breathing. A tidal wave of hope and happiness had taken over, Potter was gone! She was no longer in the way. In an instant Cho had come up with an entire plan to comfort Cedric and be his rock for his mourning of that chit until he would finally look to her with love.

Cedric was crying over Harriet’s body. She couldn’t be gone! He still hasn’t introduced her to his parents properly. He still needed to help her escape from her awful relatives. He still needed to properly apologize for taking Cho Chang to the ball instead of her. He still hasn’t told her how absolutely in love he was with her. They had arrived in the graveyard and while on guard he wasn’t really expecting such a disaster to take place. He had heard it too late “Kill the spare!”, he had seen a blast of green light headed towards him as he tried to protect Harri from the unidentifiable voice. But in a moment Harri had shoved him towards the opposite direction and had taken the hit herself. He had to watch as the same voice had shouted order again for him to be restrained and for the rat-like man to haul up his beloved’s body to a tombstone and cut her arm.

He had struggled with all his might until he saw the most horrendous scene unfold. A snake-like man had arisen and it was then that Cedric had realized who it was as He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named appearance was one that everyone in the magical community had learned to fear. A burst of strength surged through him as He-, Voldemort had started to pat and caress Harriet’s face. He had made a dash for her taking her wand and dueling Voldemort. He had faintly heard the Phoenix song play and he saw glowing images of people shoot from the wands connection. Each telling him to win until he saw them. James and Lily Potter, his girlfriend’s parents they had said for him the break the connection and take the portkey but to most importantly to take care of Harriet, much to his confusion.

He did as told and had grabbed the portkey and his young love’s body. And now he sits in front of the crowd sobbing. It wasn’t until someone had tried to take Harri away from him that he had taken notice of his surroundings. He screamed.

“Nooo, you can’t take her away please! I can’t leave her! Don’t touch her!”, he couldn’t abandon her not now. The suddenly a loud gasp had escaped from Harriet, and then came a sputtering of coughs. She was alive! “Oh thank Merlin!”, Cedric proclaimed after getting over the shock then proceeded to check her over seeing if anything could be a fatal wound and to be sure she was real. “Don’t ever scare me like that again!”, he said just to express how much anguish he was in, in the few minutes she had not been amongst the living.

“I’ll try not to, Ced.”, Harri replied a bit hoarsely. Afterwards he had pulled her into a bruising kiss, that she would later blush at but was cut off short by a shrill scream. From the stands arose Cho Chang ,a fifth-year Ravenclaw that Cedric had taken to the ball. Was she freaked out by her supposed corpse coming back to life?

“NO! Why didn’t you stay dead ?!?” She exclaimed before she had tried to run towards the surrounded couple with her wand drawn, only to be stopped by Bill and Charlie Weasley. She was still thrashing. Why hadn’t that chit Potter just stayed dead ?! She had to just go and do the impossible again, to ruin any chance that she could have with Cedric. She had caused tears to pour from his eyes, and she’ll be damned before letting that hussy get away with it and still be alive.

The couple looked in her direction startled. It soon turned to terrified and shock glances as Cho had started to proclaim her undying love for Cedric and swearing that they would be together as soon as she got rid of Potter. As Cho was being restrained she sobered up just enough to look in Cedric’s direction and see something that had utterly destroyed her. Her Cedric was still holding that abomination Potter to his chest and looking in her direction finally but not in love like she had dreamed but in fear, shock, and disgust. As she threw another death threat at Potter for stealing Cedric away, he had just pulled Potter closer to him. That haunting image was the last thing she saw before the elder Weasley brothers had put her out.
