Despair : "Its always darkest just before it goes pitch black"

That prying little Pandora.

With one sentence she had set the world on fire… fucking Pyro…

Pandemonium had swept through the room. The noise they produced was more banshee than wizard. Numerous cries pierced the air intermingling with breathless exclamations and belted obscenities. Chairs were knocked helter-skelter as the wizards either leapt to their feet or keeled over on their sides. In the chaos several wands discharged random spells and sparks. Mrs. Tonks had overheard Poppy muttering crossly about Albus letting the hybrids visit her patient unsupervised. Immediately Andromeda put two and two together. With an enraged howl, the DADA mistress threw herself at Dumbledore with murderous intentions. The Slytherin in her swore that he would rue the day he lied to Andromeda Tonks nee Black!

And oh did he rue it alright, Andromeda had one hell of a right hook. With one swing she had knocked the respected wizard head over arse, Dumbledore yelped as he felt his nose break for the second time in his life.

Through it all, the hybrids remained still as if their bodies had been carved from alabaster, which was extremely believable in the case of the vampires because they were not making a conscious effort to breathe. Their eyes and faces carefully apathetic, all save for one. By normal standards Lion was the epitome of indifference… unless you looked him in the eye. Despite all of the training and conditioning he endured, Lion could not stop his (currently) blue-white eyes from boring into Tonks' skull. His wrathful gaze had not gone unnoticed by the rapidly paling Auror. Tonks fidgeted as she found herself unable to wrench her eyes from his predatory glare. Those chilling eyes that promised a combination of disembowelment, flaying, and a most severe mauling. The mental image of him with green eyes was all too easy and frightening for her to envision. No matter the color, his eyes promised one thing.

Death.

Lion held her gaze for several more minutes, the sadist in him reveling in her torment. By this time Albus had escaped Andromeda (who had to be binded by Minerva and held by Hagrid), set his nose back into place, and reigned the Order back into control. The twinkle normally present in his blue eyes was noticeably absent, though it was debatable as to if it was caused by the seriousness of the accusation or if it had been violently beaten out of him…

"Is this true?" he questioned Lion with a stern look. Lion whipped his head to the side and made a koff noise (something he had picked up from Amelia who in turn had picked it up from Viktor) as if the very idea was distasteful to him (which it was); they boy - the martyr they wanted had died alone in a forest ten years ago. He knew better than most the evils that humans and wizards were capable of, he knew that he too was capable of great evil. Lion was the farthest thing from a saint, they would find no salvation in him.

"Auror Tonks is mistaken, my name is Lion. Any resemblance between myself and Harry Potter are purely coincidental." he said calmly.

Despite herself Tonks snorted, "Right, and that was a love nip you gave me earlier" she said sarcastically as she craned her neck to expose her jugular, revealing a nearly transparent but distinctly metallic hickey-like mark. This drew gasps and angry exclamations from the wizards, and wistful sighs and almost inaudible moans of yearning from the other hybrids. Lion could feel the hairs on the nape of his neck bristle in annoyance and excitement at the exposed flesh. 'Damned woman, she really needs to work on the brain - mouth filter' he thought to himself irritably. Outwardly Lion flashed her a wicked smile and dipped into a low mocking bow.

"Forgive me m'lady, in the future I will be sure to leave you to your captivity. Oh and unless I am to take that Lion noticeably eyed Tonks's neck hungrily, making a show of running his tongue over his sharp teeth as an invitation, I suggest you cover yourself up." Tonks flushed and ducked her head down. Lion smirked openly at her to which she spat "I fail to see how I should be indebted to you when you feed off of me you bloody leech !". Lion sighed and gave her a baleful look as if her words had deeply wounded him.

"Oh but it does my dear Auror, firstly I demonstrated an amazing amount of self-restraint since I did not bleed you dry despite the fact that I was near insane from bloodlust, and secondly if I had not you would have been given to another less… considerate persone who would have no qualms about devouring a young woman such as yourself. And lastly, I was in to way obligated to break you out as well." Lion replied silkily.

"You should be grateful," Rave smiled darkly" It was only because of us that you still have your name and memory." There was a pregnant silence as the full weight of the implications hit the group.

"Rest assured we are most grateful for the rescue and return of Miss Nymphodora," Albus said clearly choosing his words with care as he eyed the dark look (that promised a great deal of pain) in Andromeda's eyes. "However, we seemed to have strayed from the topic at hand."

Lion rolled his eyes thoroughly exasperated with the entire affair. 'The one time I decide to be merciful, and it comes right back around to bite my in the arse'

"One would assume that further clarification was not necessary." Lion sneered.

"Your eyes, they change color don't they?" Remus interjected suddenly.

"No shit Sherlock" Mal and Sin quipped dryly. Remus scowled at the duo before refocusing on Lion once more.

"Which is your natural eye color, I mean the color with which you were born with, before you were turned." Lions eyes widened slightly before they narrowed themselves completely. He grinded his teeth together the wards compelling him to tell the whole truth.

"My giddy aunt, how is this possibly relevant? We agreed only to discuss our presence here and how Miss Tonks is involved" Vol snarled noticing her leaders' subtle distress.

"But it is, I suspect that Tonks was targeted because of him, because she found out the truth. She recognized you. Am I correct?" Remus pressed. Lion bit his tongue fighting the overwhelming urge to scream out YES! When he did not answer, Remus pressed harder. "Show us your natural eye color!" he demanded loudly willing the wards to do their work. Lion snapped his eyes shut as soon as he felt the magic beginning to force his eyes to revert. Finally the wards won out, and wrenched his eyes open revealing orbs that rivaled the Avada Kedavra, eliciting gasps and shot from the Order. The force of the magic made tears well up in his eyes, his pride however would not let them fall.

"And where you at any point in your life Harris James Potter?" Lion shifted his head forward, his fringe shadowing his eyes as he let loose a low keening whine that was heard only by the hybrids.

"Yes" he whispered his voice was hoarse and hollow sounding. He could feel everyone's eyes on him, he could hear their pulses quicken, and he could smell their surprise.

"Hah!" yelled Tonks triumphantly.

"Harry?" Sirius whispered in awe as he slowly inched forward without noticing. Lion felt his claws did into his palm, his blood splattering on the ancient rug.

"No" he said firmly startling many into silence. "No" repeated in an even louder voice. "Harry Potter is dead. I am Lion." Sirius shook his head vehemently. "No! What did they do to you? Can't you see that you're Harry. Do you know how long we've been looking for you--- how long I've looking for you? By Merlin, just look at yourself, you're a spittin' image of James."

Lion withdrew from the older man with a mixture of pity, regret, and anger. Lion was well acquainted with the last, but the first two were foreign. It was clear that the mans' stint in Azkaban had worn away at his sanity, but that was not his problem. Yes, he was now aware that Sirius was and technically still is his Godfather, but for one thing he was a grown man.

He didn't want attention, affection or guidance. He didn't want to hear about his father's glory days nor of his mother's beauty and intelligence. And he sure as hell did not want to be treated as a mere reincarnation of James Potter.

"Let me say this now. I know who you are Sirius Orion Black, and I know of your relationship with the Potters. This means nothing to me. I do not wish to be unduly cruel, but it is too late, far too late. Harry's physical form died alone in the woods ten years ago bereft of his spirit which had been stolen from him by the hands of his family. I am nearly two decades old, and I have done just fine without you or anyone else for that matter. I am what I am and nothing will ever change that. I am the sum of all the moments of my life, I and the son of Amelia Delacroix and the childe of Fenrir Greyback. I am Oblivion." Sirius along with the rest of the Order simply looked devastated.

Oblivion refused to make eye contact with any of them, except for Dumbledore whom he glared at heatedly.

"I have tolerated this long enough, this was not part of our agreement Old Man, and unless I am to be under the impression that our contact is null and void…" Lion let the threat hand in the air. Vex noted with keen interest, that one of the lanky redheads looked ready to explode.

"You've got something to say, ginger kid?" she taunted

"What did you call me?" Ron yelled.

"A ginger kid, I believe it's a muggle term, flaming red hair, multiply like rabbits, soulless, ability to make people sick by sight alone, unbelievably annoying…shall I continue?"

"Why you!" the boy screamed ready to charge forward, but tripped [read Ron happened to be sitting next to Fleur, who helped him to the floor.

"Opps" Fleur said sweetly. "Are you ok little brozer?" She asked him innocently. This produced a bark of laughter from the Lycans. Remus growled at them disapprovingly. Anni snarled something back venomously. Instinctively Remus made a move towards her but was sharply cut off by an angry Lion.

Watch yourself brother, don't assume to challenge us on that level, you are woefully ignorant of your heritage he warned.

Who are you to order me? Remus demanded seemingly unaware that he was speaking in Lycan.

I am the alpha here, you may have been sired before me but I am the strongest and you will watch yourself unless you want to end up like 'daddy dearest' Lion spat, Now yield Remus realizing that he had been barking and growling in front of everyone promptly sat himself down, head bowed in shame. Lion looked at him and sighed.

"Now may we commence?" he asked snidely upset that they had managed to waste the better part of two hours.

"Not until Miss Tonks goes back to bed where she belongs" Madame Pomfrey said.

"No, Tonks shall remain here as this largely concerns her… and what she has become." Tonks's breath hitched as she suddenly felt extremely ill. She didn't even register the fact that she was falling when she found herself in Lion's arms.

The Order was alarmed at the speed that Lion had crossed the span of the large room, his movement was practically instantaneous as far as the naked or human eye was concerned.

"See, she needs her rest!" Poppy argued.

"You have absolutely no idea what is wrong with her, we do." Lion replied icily. Meanwhile Andromeda made several violent and disgruntled noises as she tried to wiggled herself from the half-giants grasp.

Lion signaled for Anni and Vex to get off their chaise as he gently moved Tonks. Vex had already re-enlarged the trunk and was prepping the necessary potions again. She handed them to lion who was still hunched over Tonks in an instinctively protective manner.

Blue vial goes on forehead, and green goes down the throat Lion Vex advised him mentally.

Lion poured the blue concoction on Tonks's head satisfied as it was spreading itself down the entire length of her body. However Lion ran into a problem with the green potion. Tonks who had caught sight of the unattractive looking potion had automatically locked her jaw. Lion frowned.

"Open" Lion commanded as he lightly pushed the rim of the vial against her lips. Tonks shook hr head and attempted to push it away. Lion's frown deepened, clearly annoyed by her childish behavior.

"Open or else" Lion hissed into her ear, but Tonks only tightened her jaw. Lion narrowed his eyes, after all the shit he had put up with for the past twenty-four hours, she had now officially exhausted his patience. Lion deftly grabbed the young Aurors' nose and held tight. Tonks thrashed slightly trying to dislodge him from her nose before she had to open her mouth in order to inhale. In a blink of an eye, Lion had let go of her nose and had already tipped the liquid down her throat. Lion gently clasped her lips and stroked her throat (ignoring the large part of him that was instructing him to feed off of her while she was vulnerable) trying to help he swallow it down.

When she had finally choked it all down Lion withdrew himself and sat back down in his chair. A hush had fallen over the room.

Seeing that Lion's potions had helped more than anything she had tried Poppy swallowed her pride and gave into her naturally inquisitive side. "What happened to her?" Lion sighed again as he reached into his trench coat pocket and produced the palm pilot and the holo-cube. Arthur Weasley had to be restrained by his wife when he caught sight of the obviously muggle devices.

"It will be easier to show you, but I am warning you this is not for the fain of heart to say that this footage will be gruesome is a gross understatement. Lion warned as he accessed Tonks's file. He then connected the palm pilot to the holo-cube and placed it in the middle of the room. Pressing play, a 3-D image of the head scientist appeared. Lion felt a pang of anger and betrayal as he looked at the image of Sarah.

"Subject: Nymphadora Tonks

Age: 26

Miss Tonks is a marvelous specimen indeed. Not only is she of pure blooded decent on her mothers' side, but she has gained impressive metamorphmagus abilities from her father. The corporation had been keeping an eye on Theodore Tonks for his formidable blood trait, however he became unattainable. Fortunately Mr. Tonks fell through the veil and we were able to collect his magical core.

In this operation we shall be attempting to fuse her fathers' core with her own along with the essences of a young female harpy and an older fury. With her bloodline the operation shoe have no complications. Ideally Tonks should be just as powerful as her cousin Regulus whose loss during the Death Eater mission was quite regrettable. If all goes according to plan the subject shall go through the lethe sequence and be given the name X9-47543, code name Alecto"

Lion and the hybrids watched in a detached manner as the footage continued to play. Lion finally knew why Tonks had the starburst on her back. It was where the core and the essences had been forced into her back. The hybrids didn't even bat an eyelash as they appeared on screen and began the culling. Luckily for the Order, a splatter of blood hit the camera preventing them from seeing the rest of the gore.

Somberly Lion stood and shutdown the holo-cube and the palm pilot. A large part of the Order had fainted or gotten sick. Both of the Tonks women had gone limp from shock. As Lion glanced at Tonks he felt his insides clench uncomfortably. There it was again. That feeling of pity and regret. He felt that he should apologize for some odd reason, but the words wouldn't come. Deeply unsettled by these odd emotions Lion manage to choke out the words "I'm sorry" .

True, he was by no means fond of the quirky girl, mostly because of all the trouble she had caused and all the grief she had given him. But she had given him something else as well. She had given him his past, and she indirectly led him to his freedom. Under Vampire code he was indebted to her indefinitely, and thus at her mercy (though he had no intentions of informing her of her position of power). And under Lycan code he was doubly indebted to her because she had also "freed" the other hybrids who where under his care.

For indeed not only was he the alpha and their commanding officer, but in order to protect them completely , Lion became their adopted Sire/ Mentor ensuring that no would dare harm them. Hypothetically speaking if a Vamp were to come across one of his charges when he was not present, if they were to probe one of them they would find Lions' magical imprint of sorts. The same thing applied to Lycans but that was mostly verified through smell.

Regardless of his feelings about Tonks, and of what the future would bring, they were all in this together.

A/N: Okay I know there is probably an angry mob ready to lynch me for the wait but I have to be honest. I have completely lost any interest I ever had in the Harry Potter genre and my muse has completely abandoned me in regards to this story. For a long time I have entertained the thought of either abandoning it or giving it up to someone however my pride and my possessiveness kept me from doing either. I am not making any promises but I am going to try my damnedest to finish this story and give you guys the ending you deserve. If I upload stories that do not pertain to Harry Potter or Hybrid Theory I do not I repeat, I DO NOT want to receive any reviews telling me off. Thanks for hanging in their guys! Your reviews honestly make my day.

Wickedly Yours,
