My new FF... Please leave your thoughts... Hope I don't get any negative reviews...
And for this story we have considered that TVD season 1-3 happened in 1990s...
New Orleans
Mikaelson Manor
Niklaus was sitting in his living room with a glass of bourbon, chatting with his brothers and brothers-in-law, waiting for his wife, sisters and sisters-in-law. They were supposed to be ready to catch the flight that would take them to London, where Nadia and Matt awaiting their arrival. While the peace in the city was undisturbed for the time being, they always had to keep an ear out for any other problem that could arise at any time. They needed a break and Nadia was more than happy to invite them.
Marcellus opted to join them a couple of days later, since his lady love refused to take a vacation from her research. He forced his father to give him some advice to persuade her. And Niklaus being Niklaus tipped him on how much he acted like a puppy dog around Caroline.
Niklaus smirked remembering how much he lacked concentration during his childhood, when he was giving is lessons to be a proper gentleman and a ruler. But now, when it comes to wooing a woman, his concentration level has increased considerably.
As he was pondering over the memories of the distant past, he heard the familiar sound of heels clicking against the stairs and he knew the women were ready and about to make their entrance in three... two...
All men in the room turned their heads toward the doorway simultaneously.
One...
And they were not disappointed. First came Katerina, with her usual her usual smirk. Then came Rebekah, with her usual haughty self. Then came Caroline, with her usual bright smile. Then came Sage, with her unusual calm but reluctant smile, even after all these years, she felt little out from the family. Then came Bonnie, with her usual sweet smile and sharp eyes. And then came Arabelle, with her usual elegant self.
"Bloody hell, women, how long do you all need to get ready?" Kol said, exasperated, as he threw his hands in the air dramatically, as he always did. Just as he always was the one to start it and dig his grave deeply every time. It was rather entertaining, actually.
"Kol" Elijah said, trying to make him stop.
"You are all vampires, for goodness sake. Can't you use your bloody abilities to make it quick?" Kol dug his own grave further.
Stefan cleared his throat in an attempt to get his attention.
But Kol being Kol didn't even listen. "What could take you this long? We have been waiting for hours"
As soon as he finished his first round of rambling, Bonnie who was standing by his side, smacked him at the back of his head with a glare.
"Ow" Kol said as he rubbed the spot.
Niklaus and Damon were grinning like idiots, while Elijah looked like he wished to be anywhere but here. Finn and Stefan raised their eyebrows with amusement. Marcellus cleared his throat to disguise his obvious laughter.
As Kol and Bonnie bickered back and forth, much to the amusement of others in the room, Elijah tried desperately to make them stop but to no avail.
Just as the bickering between the couple came to an end, there was a distinct sound of crack outside the house. A knock on the front door followed it a moment later.
"I'll get that" Marcellus said and strutted out of the living room. As soon as he opened the front door, he met with steely brown eyes of a pale man covered completely with black robes. He had a shoulder length black hair that was very sleek. "Who are you?"
"Good morning. I am here to see Mr. Niklaus Mikaelson" the man replied in his British accent.
Marcellus looked him up and down, "Father" he called, "Someone's here to see you"
Niklaus came less than a second later and stopped dead in his track, "Severus?"
The man, Severus, gave him a slight nod. Still not understanding what was going on, Marcellus turned to his Father, "You know him?" he asked.
Niklaus looked at Marcellus and said, "Son, let Mr. Snape to the living room. We're having an urgent family meeting"
"Okay" Marcellus said and invited Severus Snape to the living room, where rest of the family was.
Niklaus was scared. No scratch that, that's actually an understatement. He was terrified. He never thought that the day would come soon. He went into the living room and sat beside his wife.
"Niklaus, what is happening? Who is this gentleman?" Elijah asked.
"Brother, this is Mr. Severus Snape. He is working as a Potions master in the Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Hope is attending" Niklaus said.
Of all the things he said, Elijah only seemed to grasp the middle one. "There's a school for Witchcraft?"
Niklaus sighed. For someone who's world's most intelligent one, Elijah could be dump sometimes. "No. Not for the Witches and Warlocks of nature. But the witches and Wizards of the Magical world do"
"Oh", came Elijah's meek reply.
"So Severus. Came to deliver the bad news, have you?" Niklaus asked.
"Yes" Severus said, "He's back". But before he could ask the obvious question, the Severus said, "No. They're safe"
"Good" Niklaus said, "We are on our way to London, anyway"
"Then I believe you'll attend the next order meeting?"
Niklaus nodded.
"Severus" Arabelle said, "Tell the Order that all our family members will be attending"
"Certainly, Miss Mikaelson" Severus said with a nod.
"Oh and Severus, its Mrs. Salvatore now" Arabelle said.
"Then allow me congratulate you" Severus said politely.
Arabelle nodded.
Somewhere behind them Damon scoffed.
Severus turned to Niklaus, "I'm off, then" and he made his grand exit.
Niklaus, Caroline, Arabelle and Damon turned to the other people in the room, who were obviously in a lot of confusion.
"You four have a lot of explaining to do" Katerina said haughtily.
Niklaus took a deep breath, "It happened a month before Hope born"
September 1, 1996.
Mikaelson Mansion, New Orleans.
Caroline was sitting on the sofa, helping Hayley with the baby stuff. Though Hayley wanted no part in the child's life, she did her utmost to make sure that she would be brought up in normal environment.
Though the circumstances in which the baby conceived was unfortunate, the child was loved by everyone, even her mother. Niklaus was drunk as was Hayley, and they booth were rejected by the people they loved. So alcohol plus heartbreak plus anger led to hot hate sex, which resulted in the untimely pregnancy.
There was already a war brewing between the witches and vampires. Niklaus being the King of French Quarter did no good to Hayley when she reached New Orleans with the news of her pregnancy. On the plus, she already sought out Caroline and informed her of her pregnancy.
Of course, the blonde was not happy, but Hayley just pointed out the facts logically, and convinced her that she indeed was in love with Niklaus and asked her to be the Mother of her child. Caroline accepted in graciously. Since then Caroline never left Hayley's side.
Niklaus walked into the living room and drank in the scene before him. The woman he loved and the woman who was carrying his child were sitting together and going through stuff for their child. Just as he was about to comment on the same, he heard someone knocking on the front door.
"I'll get that" Arabelle yelled from the kitchen.
Arabelle strutted down the stairs and walked toward the front door, while Damon went to the living room to join her brother. Opening the door she found two men. One in white and another in black.
The man in white seemed to be older, with a lengthy white beard and blue twinkling eyes. The man in black seemed to be young in his early twenties, with raven black hair and brown eyes.
"Good evening, Miss Mikaelson. I am Albus Dumbledore" the elderly man said, "and the gentleman here is Severus Snape" he gestured to the young man. "We are here to see your brother Mr. Niklaus Mikaelson, regarding a matter of utmost importance"
Arabelle was reluctant to let the odd looking men in, especially with a very pregnant woman in the house.
"I understand that you are afraid that we might hurt the pregnant woman in your house, Miss. Mikaelson. But this matter concerns the baby's safety" the old man, Dumbledore said.
That was all she needed. The moment he said 'baby's safety', she knew she had no other choice that to let the men inside. She led them into the living room, where she was bombarded with the questions like, "Who the hell are they?" "What in the bloody hell is going on?" "Are they here to hurt my baby?" and "What's going on Arabelle?"
And one glare from her was enough for them to keep their mouths shut.
"Alright gentleman" she addressed Niklaus and Damon, "Ladies" she turned toward Caroline and Hayley, "This gentleman here is Albus Dumbledore" she gestured toward the old man, "and his friend is Severus Snape" she gestured toward the young man. When they all remained silent, she rolled her eyes and asked to them to sit on the couch.
"Good Morning, Mr. Mikaelson, Mr. Salvatore, Miss Forbes, Miss Marshall. As your sister said just a moment ago, I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We are here to discuss a matter of utmost importance" Dumbledore said.
Niklaus smirked, in what Arabelle knew as an intimidating way, that failed to have an effect on the old man, "And what pray tell is it to do with me and my child?"
"It has everything to do with your daughter, Mr Mikaelson. Our Wizarding world has fallen in the hands of dark wizards. Their leader is Tom Riddle, who calls himself as Lord Voldemort. A prophecy has been told that involves two children. One chosen boy to put an end to the Dark Lord, the other for a girl, who will stand beside him" Dumbledore said.
"And you are saying that this girl, who will stand beside the chosen boy is my daughter" Niklaus asked.
"Yes" Dumbledore said, "And he will come for her"
Niklaus' eyes twitched, as if he was a minute away from killing someone.
"He killed the boy's parents but he couldn't reach him. The Dark Lord is missing but his followers are not. We placed the boy safely. I suggest you do the same to your daughter" the younger man said.
The only thing that stopped Niklaus from racing down the French Quarter and slaughtering the humans was the death grip Damon had on his shoulder.
"How can we trust you?" Hayley asked.
The old man just smiled and looked straight at Arabelle, "You can compel me. I am not on vervain. Or you can take a peek in my mind"
Arabelle took a step forward and pressed her thumb over the old man's temple. Closing her eyes, she concentrated. A moment later, she jerked away with a frown. She turned toward Niklaus and said, "He's telling the truth"
Only then did Niklaus believed the old man's words.
They then spent the next couple of hours talking about the Wizarding world. Niklaus asked as many questions as possible, for which both the gentlemen delivered answers. With the promise to inform them once the bad news occurred, both Albus and Severus left the Mikaelson Manor, with four confused and agitated immortals and a very pregnant werewolf left behind.
Three months later, Hayley went into labour. After ten hours, the little angel, the princess of the French Quarter, Hope Hermione Hayley Mikaelson was born. But Niklaus has already made arrangements to hide the little one. So, he faked the baby's death and went straight to London, where he had the Grangers, awaiting his arrival. Everyone except Niklaus, Caroline, Damon and Arabelle believed that their little angel was dead. The family went into mourning for about five years, what with the heightened emotions and all.
Back to the Present:
By the time Niklaus completed the whole story, everyone in the living room wore different emotions. Elijah as usual had his emotionless mask one, Finn was somewhere between happy and angry, Sage and Katerina were gaping at him, Kol and Bonnie were staring at him, with glare from the former and disappointment from latter, Stefan was understanding, while Rebekah was weeping openly. Oh, and Marcellus had a murderous look on his face.
And then, it was time for them to go to the airport, after all they have a flight to catch. Since they were using their private jet, the travel from New Orleans to London was spent with the four vampires as the targets of shouts and disappointed speeches. Marcellus even cancelled his pursuing of the blonde bar tender to join them. They tried to ignore it, but it still made them cringe.
Finally Elijah asked the one question he never expected, "Who else knows?"
Niklaus opened his mouth, but to his utter embarrassment, no word emerged. He cleared his throat and said, "Nadia"
Katerina huffed and muttered, "Always in the league"
"Well, she has been the one to keep an eye on the family", Damon drawled.
By the time they landed in the London airport, the dispute was temporarily cooled down.
It took them a week to come to terms with the situation. In the meantime they learnt a lot about their little Hope and the world she was living.
Two weeks after the revelation:
The Mikaelson and Salvatore family were sitting around a large table in the sitting room of #12, Grimmauld place, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, among some greatest Witches and Wizards of the Magical Britain. There were two Weasleys, one Black, one Lupin, one Shacklebolt, one McGonagall, three Tonks, and of course one Dumbledore and a Snape.
For someone else, it would have been very uncomfortable to sit among the witches and wizards of the Order of the Phoenix. But not to them. Not to the Mikaelsons and the Salvatores.
The sat there like they owned the place, while it was the said witches and wizards who looked so uncomfortable in their presence. Somehow, it made them feel inferior to the new comers.
The discussions and decisions were made. Throughout the meeting the Guardians came to one realization. The Order of the Phoenix was the Guardians of the Wizarding Britain, the same way they were the Guardians of the Supernatural world. They were fighting the darkness from consuming their world as well as the others.
The Originals and their family came to a silent agreement that they would do anything to keep these people safe.
And so Arabelle asked suddenly, "Is there a spell or charm that can protect you from death?"
They were staring at her with open mouths, obviously shocked by her sudden question. All but Albus Dumbledore. "No, Mrs. Salvatore. We can temporarily protect ourselves with a shield. But there's no spell or charm or potion that could cheat death"
Arabelle frowned as she comprehended his words. "Well, then" she said, "i need a drop of blood from all the Order members"
McGonagall tried to ask why but bonnie answered her unasked question, "She's thinking about enlisting nature to protect you all from the spell that could kill you"
"Is it even possible?" Lupin asked.
"There are a lot of things that the Spirits of our ancestors can do, Mr Lupin" Kol said. That certainly shocked the entire family. Kol being polite, surely the earth was jumping from its axis.
"That was nice of you, Mrs Salvatore" Dumbledore said, "But if we were to die, that's what meant to happen. So it won't be necessary"
"I think I should make it clear, Mr Dumbledore" Arabelle said, "Our ancestors will only protect those who are meant to live"
Dumbledore frowned. After what seemed like forever, he agreed.
"We'll meet you in a week from today" Arabelle said and turned to Snape, "Bring the blood to Mikaelson Castle, Severus"
Severus nodded.
They all made a move to leave the sitting room. But the original Hybrid stopped, "We expect to know everything that happens. And when the time comes, we will stand by you in the war"
Dumbledore nodded at him. And with that the Royal Family of the Supernatural world left the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.
