Alright here is Return of the Eveningshades. Uploaded 4/24/17. As I said in the last Author's note for Lord Eveningshade, I will be dropping NCIS from the story and stick with Transformers. Now I let you all decide whether to leave this as a Harry Potter story or put it as a crossover. I was expecting to see reviews from people wanting it to be a Crossover but I got none, I only got two votes saying to leave it as a Harry Potter story, so that's what it will be.
Word count is 4,333.
Disclaimer: The world of Harry Potter belongs to the genius J.K Rowling and I am just playing in the sandbox she left. Transformers Belongs to Michael Bay.
So with out further do, enjoy this rewrite of my most popular fanfic that I have ever written.

CHAPTER 1
A group of hooded figures slowly make their way through the small community of Godric's Hollow. The figures stop as a child, wearing a black cape and has a pair of fangs poking out from his upper lip bumps into the person leading the group.
"Wow! Nice costume mister!" The child says to the figure who was leading the group, before running off. The figures can't stop the sneer from appearing on their faces as the leaders red eyes flash with anger and disgust.
"Stupid muggle brat." One of the cloaked figures spat. They turn and continue down the street till they come to the end which goes left and right. They look up to see an empty piece of land.
"My Lord...there is nothing here." One of the figures says. The lead figure turns slightly to his companion.
"Calm yourself Bellatrix. There is a Fidelius charm in place." The lead figure says.
"I'm sorry for my remark My Lord." Bellatrix says now subdued at her lords words. The lead figure reaches into his pocket and withdraws a slip of paper that he shows to his followers and they look up as a two story house shimmers into view.
"For once Pettigrew does something right for once in his miserable excuse for a life." One of the figures says.
"Yes...now come lets show these fools what happens for defying me." The lead figure says as he draws a white wand.
"Yes My Lord." The four others say as they follow their master towards the house.
Unbeknownst to the five occupants of the house they have no idea how much danger they are in, or how much their lives will change. James Charlus Potter and his wife Lily Natalie Potter nee Evans sat on a couch as on another couch sat their friends Frank and Alice Longbottom and in a chair sat Jame's childhood friend Sirius Orion Black. The Potter and Longbottom families had come together for what seemed to them to be a lifetime as they had just gone into hiding due to Lord Voldemort, a up and coming Dark Lord, who has targeted one of the families. The reason they are in hiding is in part of a prophecy that was made saying that a child would be the one to defeat Lord Voldemort, but here in lies the problem. The Potters and Longbottoms had sons that were both born at the end of July, the same time that the prophecy says that a child will be born and will defeat Lord Voldemort, but since both boys were born by a mere hour apart they were not sure who was targeted and both families decided to go into hiding.
"I'm telling you James I'm going stir crazy just sitting here." Frank complained to his friend and fellow Auror.
"You think you have it bad Frank? I am always trying to find something to do in this house to keep me busy." James says as he runs a hand through his unkempt black hair.
"Come on you two. You knew this was a possibility of happening." Sirius says trying to keep the two calm.
"Of course we knew that Padfoot, but that does-" At the moment a sound of breaking glass is heard. James jumps to his feet and runs to the window.
"James what's wrong?" Lily Potter asks feeling a sliver of dread creep into her.
"It's him! It's Voldemort!" James says. Frank and Sirius jump to their feet just as the door comes blasting into the house. Soon spells fly through the now open entrance.
"Well, well, what do we have here." Lord Voldemort says as he walks through followed by Bellatrix, Rudolphus, Rabastian Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr.
"Voldemort! How did you find us!" James snarls.
"Ah, thank you for reminding me. I will have to congratulate Wormtail when I am done here." Voldemort says with a dark smirk as James's, Sirius's, and Lily's eyes widen at that their friend had betrayed them.
What follows is probably best as a all out spell war as spells fly everywhere throughout the house. Voldemort slowly uses the distraction that his followers are causing to sneak away and make his way upstairs to where he knew the nursery to be. He walks into the room and sees two cribs, which has a baby boy in them.
"What are you doing here Voldemort!" A voice shouts.
Voldemort takes a step back dodging the stunner and turns to the voice.
"Ah, Augusta Longbottom. I was wondering if you were here. Now then Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouts as a sickly green curse flies from his wand and hits the old woman who drops to the floor dead with wide eyes.
"Reducto!" A voice yells and Voldemort is sent flying into the wall and denting said wall. Voldemort stands to see Frank, Alice, Sirius, James and Lily pointing wands at him. Voldemort's eyes flash in anger and starts casting spells at the five, who thought that they could stop him in numbers since they had finished their little skirmishes with his Death Eaters. Voldemort soon bounds the five in strong ropes and turns back to the two boys, One with the Names of Thomas Alan Potter and Neville Frank Longbottom, the latter crying his eyes out. Voldemort waves his wand silencing the baby.
"Now then which child is it that I have to kill?" Voldemort says to himself.
"Stay away from my brother!" A voice says startling Voldemort, who looks to his right to see a child maybe about four or five step between him and the cribs and glaring at the Dark Lord. Voldemort flinches slightly as he looks at the green eyes, which eerily are the same color as the killing curse. Surprised that there is another Potter child, he couldn't help but ask.
"Who are you child."
"My name is Hadrian James Potter." Harry says.
'Wormtail said nothing about there being a second child. I'll have to let me displeasure be known to him after this.' Voldemort closes his eyes to try and see which one of the two babies has the power enough to defeat him. He looks at the two and can see that Thomas has more of a brighter glow than Neville., 'This must be the prophesied child.' Voldemort raises his wand and points towards Thomas. The adults have wide eyes.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouts but is surprised to see the oldest Potter child step in front of the curse, but what happens not only shocks him but shocks the other adults as they watch as the killing curse hits Harry, but instead of killing the child, Harry starts to glow a bright green. The glow vanishes and all are shocked to see Harry still standing there alive.
"What?! Impossible! That should have killed you!" Voldemort yells. "No one has ever survived that curse. Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort shouts. The sickly green spell leaves his wand and hits Harry for a second time and Voldemort's eyes widen as the killing curse is rebounded and explodes at an astonishing speed, which is two times faster than normal coming back at him. He has no time to dodge as the spell hits him ripping him from his body. The adults watch as Voldemort's body is ripped apart and watch as the spell destroys the room and setting a wall on fire. The adults cover themselves with their arms as they were able to move.
A couple of minutes later James stands coughing and moving debris off of him as the roof had partially collapsed and helps the others out of the debris on them. They look around and soon hear cries. Alice and Lily rush to their crying sons just as the sounds of apparition is heard. A bunch of footsteps is heard coming up the stairs and the first to enter is an elderly man, who has a white beard that was nearly touching his feet with a pair of twinkling blue eyes behind a pair of half mooned glasses.
"Headmaster Dumbledore!" Sirius says as he is the first to recognize the headmaster through his slight daze after taking a piece of the ceiling to the head.
"Take it easy there my boy, you are injured." Dumbledore says. Dumbledore draws his wand and casts a diagnostic spell. "It is as I had feared. Voldemort was here. Which of the boys did he attack?"
"We do not know headmaster." Frank says as he has an arm around Alice, who is holding a crying Neville as James and Lily Holds a crying Thomas, both of who have a cut. Thomas has a cut on his head and Neville has one on his hand in the shave of a V.
'This must mean that Voldemort marked young Neville.' Dumbledore thought.
"Hadrian!" Lily calls and all turn to her as she starts moving debris looking for her oldest. Sirius takes Thomas from James as James helps Lily look for their oldest and the few members from the order help by lifting debris away. Once all the debris is cleared, they find no sign of the oldest Potter child. Lily drops to her knees as she cries out for her missing child. James envelops his wife in a hug as they weep for their son who is missing.
"I'm afraid that your son is gone my dear. The amount of dark magic in this room leads me to believe what had happened not only claimed the life of the dark Lord Voldemort, but also claimed the life of your oldest child. I truly am sorry for your loss." Albus Dumbledore says with a heavy heart at losing such a young life. Lily's sobs become louder as it sets in that her oldest child is now gone.
"Ah!" Harry screams shooting up and panting. Harry looks to his bedside table with a clock displaying 7:30 on the digital display. A ten year old Harry gets out of bed and gets dressed. He goes down stairs and walks into the kitchen.
"Morning Harry." Alexandria Elrick says as she kisses him on the cheek.
"Morning." Harry says as he takes a seat at the table.
"Morning Harry." Lucas J. Elrick says walking in.
Lucas and Alexandria sit down across from Harry.
"Harry we have something to tell you." Alexandria says.
"What?" Harry asks.
"Next week we will be going to Britain for about a month and a half." Lucas says.
"Really? Why?" Harry asks.
"The Navy is doing a training exercise with the British Navy." Lucas says.
"And when we get to Britain we can see if the goblins can help us find your family." Alexandria says.
"Okay. How long will it take us to get to Britain?" Harry says.
"It will take about a week to get to London." Lucas says.
"Okay." Harry says as he returns his attention back to his breakfast.
One week later
The U.S Navy Destroyer the USS Scott makes port in Portsmouth. The Elrick's then caught a taxi to a pub called the Leaky Cauldron. Harry follows Lucas and Alexandria inside and they go to the back area that has a brick wall. Lucas steps forward and draws his wand. He taps some bricks, which start to move and separate and creates an archway to an alley with lots of shoppes and shoppers.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley, Harry." Lucas says. The three walk through and walk towards the white marble building known as Gringotts. Harry walks up the steps and sees two creatures on either side of the door, when they see Harry their eyes widen a little and they bow to him. Harry is surprised by this and sees that Lucas is as well. Harry returns the bow and continues into the wizard bank. The three walk up to the nearest teller.
"Hello, we would like an inheritance test taken." Lucas says after seeing the guards bow to Harry.
"You are in the wrong spot. Inheritances are over there." The goblin says pointing to his right without looking up.
"Thank you." Lucas says. The three approach the goblin.
"Yes?" He asks in a bored voice.
"We are here to see if there are any inheritances for Harry here." Lucas says.
"Don't waste my time. Get out of here." The goblin says, this makes Lucas mad.
"Listen here! You have to give it to us when requested." Lucas says hotly, this however makes the goblin mad.
"I'd watch your tone wizard. You are on goblin territory." The goblin says.
"How about..." Harry speaks up and the goblin turns to Harry. "You do as we request or I'm sure that the guards outside who bowed to me will be happy to help in getting me an inheritance test taken." Harry says. What he or the other two weren't expecting was to see the goblin pale slightly.
"What did you say?" The goblin asks.
"The guards outside bowed to me." Harry says.
"One moment." The goblin says. He gets off his stool and runs as fast as his legs can carry him. This surprises Lucas, who starts to get an uneasy feeling, since he has never seen a goblin move that fast. Either in the United States or the times that he has come to Britain. Soon the goblin returns.
"Follow me please." The goblin says. The three follow the goblin, they soon come to a pair of golden doors. The goblin knocks.
"Come in!" A voice calls. The three walk in and Lucas's eyes widen when he sees Director Ragnock.
"What seems to be the problem Griphook?" Ragnock asks. Griphook walks forward and speaks in globbydock and Ragnock's eyes widen and he snaps his head to look at Harry.
"You are wanting an inheritance test?" Ragnock asks.
"Yes." Lucas says.
"Okay we need a drop of blood." Ragnock says pulling out a dagger. Harry steps forward and Ragnock pricks Harry's thumb and a drop falls onto a piece of parchment which flashes. Soon four boxes appear. The two goblins eyes widen at the one with the Peverell crest and Lucas's and Alexandria's eyes widen when they see three of the founders rings. Harry puts all four rings on and the boxes vanish.
"Now th-" That was as far as Ragnock got before another flash happens, but instead of a box, a bowl with an aqua blue dagger appears. The goblins eyes widen even more and a small amount of fear appears on their faces. Lucas's eyes widen and his face loses all color when he recognizes the crest on the bowl.
'E-Eveningshade! I-It can't be!' Lucas thinks.
"What is this one?" Harry asks.
"To receive the inheritance for this one, you have to cut your palm and let you blood fill the bowl." Ragnock says in fear of the outcome. Harry takes the dagger in his right hand and drags the tip across the palm of his left hand and bleeds into the bowl. His blood fills it and the cut heals and some runes glow blue and Harry's blood boils and swirls. A minute later a blood red signet ring is sitting at the bottom of the bowl. He reaches in and takes the ring out. The two goblins and Lucas's eyes widen at seeing the black phoenix with spread wings signifying the Lord Eveningshade ring. Lucas and the goblins pale and look at the ring in fear. Harry puts the ring on and it resizes to fit his finger. The two goblins drop to their knees shocking Lucas and Alexandria.
"My Lord! May I be the first to welcome back the return of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Eveningshade!" Ragnock says on his knees bowing to Harry. Lucas pales even more at hearing that Eveningshade is an Ancient and Noble House.
"Lucas what's wrong?" Alexandria asks now noticing that Lucas is pale and scared.
"The Eveningshade family has returned. That's what's wrong." Lucas says trying not to freak out.
"It's just a family right?" Alexandria asks.
"No. The Eveningshades are not a normal family. They are more feared than Voldemort." Lucas says shocking Alexandria.
"More feared than Voldemort?" Alexandria breaths in surprise.
"Yes and you know it takes a lot to for me to fear anything. There is nothing even in the navy that fears me." Lucas says shuddering about some stories from his youth surrounding the family of Evenigshade.
A flash of light earns everyone's attention to Ragnock's desk as a new piece of parchment appears.
"What is this?" Harry asks.
"Your vaults." Ragnock says handing it to Harry.

"Azkaban! You own Azkaban!" Lucas chokes out in shock.
"It's because of him being a Peverell. That's why the guards out front bowed to you, because they could sense the Peverell blood in you Mr. Potter." Ragnock says.
"You can call Harry." Harry says.
"You can call me Ragnock, Harry. Now would you like to visit your vaults that you are head of house for?" Ragnock asks.
"Yes please." Harry says.
"Director Ragnock we need to talk to you and it may take a while." Lucass says.
"Alright. Griphook can you take Harry to his vaults?" Ragnock asks.
"Yes sir, I can." Griphook says. The two leave and return an hour later.
The three see Harry and Griphook walk in and Harry has a bunch of books and two boxes.
"What is that stuff Harry?" Alexandria asks.
"The journals of the previous Lord Eveningshade and the memories of the founders." Harry says.
"Now then Harry you need someone to manage your vaults." Ragnock says.
"Can I choose you and Griphook?" Harry asks. The two are shocked by this.
"I would be honored." Ragnock says.
"As would I." Griphook says.
"Who do you want to manage what vaults?" Ragnock asks.
"I want you Director to manage the Peverell and Eveningshade vaults and Griphook to manage the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin vaults." Harry says.
"We would be honored." The two say. Harry shakes their hands.
"Anything else?" Ragnock asks.
"Yes. I am trying to find my family. Do you know how I can find them?" Harry asks.
"I am afraid I don't Harry. Your family is under the Fidelius ward, which is a very powerful ward." Ragnock says.
"Harry, you should be getting a Hogwarts letter soon. I heard that your mother will be teaching at Hogwarts, but I do not know when." Griphook says.
One month later, Portsmouth harbor
"Happy birthday Harry!" Lucas and Alexandria say. The Elrick's were staying in one of the bases house's, but it was only offered to senior officers, even to those of visiting navies.
"Thanks." Harry says blowing out the candles on his cake. Soon an envelope comes flying through the open window. The three look and Lucas walks over and picks it up.
"Harry, it's your Hogwarts letter." Lucas says handing it to Harry who opens it.

"When do you want to get your school things?" Alexandria asks.
"Can we do it today?" Harry asks.
"Sure." The two say.
Later that day
The three are in Diagon Alley buying Harry his school things and he got somethings from his vaults again. He visited the Peverell vault when he notices a wand that is 13 inches in length and it flies to him, which shocks him. He gets some books mainly from the Eveningshade and Slytherin vaults.
Harry, Charles, and Natalie walk into the menagerie and a snowy white owl lands on Harry's shoulder.
"Hello. You are a very pretty owl." Harry says. He sees the owl stand straighter and puff her chest out. He walks around and finds a golden egg. He walks up to the register.
"Well I'll be. That owl likes no one, yet she is sitting on your shoulder. You are the first that she has taken a liking to. The egg is a phoenix egg. I've had it for almost a year and a half." The owner says. Harry pays for the egg and the owl that he names Hedwig.
"Harry do you want to come in here?" Lucass asks standing in front of Ollivanders not knowing that Harry has a wand already.
"Sure why not." Harry says. The three walk inside the musty smelling wand store.
"Well if it isn't Miss Reese. It is good to see you.9 ½ inches Thunderbird tail feather. Powerful, excellent for transfiguration." Ollivander says with a smile.
"It's Mrs. Elrick now Ollivander and my wand is still a perfect match for me." Alexandria says with a smile.
"Good to hear. Now I believe you are here to help this young man find his wand correct?" Ollivander asks.
"Yes, sir." Harry says.
One hour and 213 wands later
"Here try this one." Ollivander says.
"Mr. Ollivander, we have been at this for an hour. I doubt we can find one for me." Harry says. He takes the Holly wand for it to shoot out of his hand and stick to the wall like a dart.
"Curious." Ollivander says.
"Sorry sir?" Harry asks.
"You see what is curious is that this wand is the brother to the wand that attacked you and your family Mr. Potter." Ollivander says shocking Harry that he knows what happened seven years ago and who he is.
"Voldemort?" Harry asks.
"Yes. I want to try one more wand, Mr. Potter." Ollivander says. He leaves and returns carrying a green box and is a little pale since the box is glowing the same color as Harry's eyes as he gets closer. He opens the box and holds it open to Harry. "Try this one Mr. Potter." Ollivander says in fear of the wand. Harry raises his hand and the reddish-blackish and white candy cane swirled wand flies from the box and into Harry's hand surprising both. Once the wand lands in his hand, a burst of ice and snow shoot out of the wand, snow covers the floor and ice forms on the windows startling Lucas , who was looking out the windows. He turns around and freezes in his tracks and his breath catches in his throat as his eyes widen when he sees the wand. Ollivander's eyes widen and he pales. He drops to his knees bowing to Harry.
"My Lord, you have returned." Ollivander says.
"What are you talking about Ollivander?" Lucas asks once he finds his voice.
"I am a servant to the Eveningshades." Ollivander says shocking the three.
"Why do you have this wand then?" Harry asks.
"The previous Lord Eveningshade asked me to hold it until the House of Eveningshade returned." Ollivander says. Harry, Lucas , and Alexandria leave the wand store after learning some things from Ollivander about the Eveningshades.
September 1st
Harry, Lucas, and Alexandria walk through the barrier onto platform 9 3/4. Harry is amazed to see the scarlet steam engine with steam floating around the boiler.
"Good bye Harry." Alexandria says hugging Harry after he had put his stuff into a compartment.
"Bye Harry." Lucas says.
"Bye. I'll write once I get to Hogwarts." Harry says.
"Okay we will be waiting for a letter to know what house you have been sorted to." Lucas says.
"Okay." Harry says boarding the train as the whistle blows. He sits down as the train starts to move. He lets Hedwig out of her cage. She climbs up his shirt sleeve and sits on his shoulder.
"I start at Hogwarts today." Harry says brushing her chest with his fingers. She hoots in reply. Harry looked out the window as the train left London and enters the countryside bound for Hogwarts. Harry grabs one of the journals of the last Lord Eveningshade to try to figure out what could have caused the disappearance of the Eveningshades.
And there it is. There have been some changes to this first chapter, but other than that it is pretty much the same as the first chapter in Lord Evenigshade. Some chapters will have changes whether they be small or major or none at all.
As always leave reviews except leaving flames. Don't bother leaving those types of reviews, because I will just ignore it or erase it.
Now this Story will be updated every two weeks, since I have to go in and change parts of the rewrite.
Till then, ElderH
