"I feel like I'm dying-"Iris groaned clutching her pounding head. It was the morning after the drinking game, and dear Merlin it was one of the dumbest things she's ever done. She was currently in the large kitchen and holding her head, it felt like her mouth was full of cotton. Her pounding head wasn't helped by Elijah and Alaric clattering around the kitchen,

"Well that's what happens when you go over your boundaries-"Elijah stated and placed a cup of tea in front of her "here, this has chamomile it's a lovely herb that should-"before the Original could finish a snort tumbled out of the hunter's mouth.

Iris's emerald green orbs snapped over to Alaric, who was standing by a blender "Something amusing?" Elijah questioned.

"Yes, you thinking tea is the secret hang-over cure-"he grinned "Nope-"

Iris rolled her eyes and placed her throbbing head on her arms, Caroline entered the room and smirked as she plopped down next to the petite raven head.

"Told you-"

"Fuck off-"

"Language-"Elijah scolded Iris; he shook his head when she didn't even budge. "Since when did you become an expert over hang-over cures?" he asked.

Iris sat up and held her chin in her palm, just as Jeremy stumbled into the room looking half-asleep

"Since I spent my college years more or less drunk, and needed a quick fix if I had a class the next day-"he stated,

"Jeremy what are you doing?" Stefan asked, looking awake and chipper this morning.

"I-milk-"the youngest Gilbert stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Caroline giggled and took a slurp off of the blood-bag Stefan had thrown at her "I doubt you'd find milk in the garbage disposal-"she said

"Here just sit and don't move-"Stefan uttered gently pushing the half asleep teen towards the empty seat beside Iris.

Iris however was focused on watching Alaric mix some egg into the blender which already had a green concoction "That looks disgusting-"Rebekah said coming into the room with Kol following closely behind.

"It's a cure-"Alaric stated, everyone rushed around for some morning breakfast, today they would be once again diving into Iris's memories which was going to reveal her third year. The former witch was looking forward to this year most…since she wasn't going to be in too much danger, plus Remus and Sirius would be introduced…a pang went through her heart….it was going to be difficult seeing the pair of men again. They had been like the fathers to her in the short period of which she knew, her eyes had dropped to the wooden table top….and Iris groaned out loud when Alaric decided to turn the blender on at that precise moment.

"Fuck-turn that off-"she snapped clutching her head.

"Don't be dramatic-"Rebekah drawled taking the seat opposite her, a minute or two later, Iris wasn't too sure since she was attempting to block out the noise which felt like it was grinding her brain into mush.

When the horrendous noise stopped, Iris looked up and frowned when she saw Kol's grinning face

"Please I'm trying my hardest not to puke your face isn't helping-"Iris sniped, causing Rebekah to snort and Jeremy to choke on his milk.

"You're such a pleasant person darling-"Kol drawled sarcasm etched into his tone. Iris stuck her tongue at and nearly gagged on her own saliva when Alaric places a weird looking green beverage in front of her.

"Eww-"Caroline scrunched up her nose in disgust when a bubble emerges from the drink. "That looks disgusting-"

"I think I'm dying-"Damon staggered into the room, he wasn't a complete wreck like Iris….the former witch at the moment completely envied his ability to heal super quick.

"Look-"

"I think I'll just have Elijah's tea-"Iris said pushing the tall glass away, but Alaric once again placed it in front of her.

"Look I know it's not attractive but it'll help-so drink-"Alaric ordered,

Iris cringed as she picked up the glass and swallowed seeing another bubble emerging, she took a deep breath and then a swig of the drink, and she shuddered when the slimy liquid made its way down her throat

"So what's in it hunter?" Kol asked innocently, causing both Elijah and Rebekah to narrow their eyes, Kol was by no means innocent…meaning he was up to something. Iris let out a shudder and took another sip

"Well, there's egg, some spinach…and I blended some pig heart-"Alaric grinned,

Iris paled hearing what exactly was in this drink just as Klaus entered the room, the doppelganger entered earlier and much to Elena's annoyance no one seemed to even acknowledge her…well except Alaric, but he was her guardian so he sort of had to.

"There you are love-"Klaus grinned seeing his other half, "now you sort of disappeared after my shower…and didn't give me my much deserved morning kiss…so care to whack one on me now?" Klaus then proceeded to open his arms in a clear invitation…but he didn't get the reaction he was hoping for.

No instead Iris abruptly pushed herself out of her chair "I think I'm going to puke-"she said her hand covering her mouth, she turned and ran down the hall pushing Klaus to the side.

"Ok…well-that's the reaction you have on Iris when you want a kiss-"Damon smirked "I wonder what she does when you want sex-"he grunted when Klaus threw a butter knife at the younger vampire, it hit Damon in the shoulder, "Fine no talking about Iris being naked-"

"One more word I will rip your tongue out-"Klaus growled and turned on his heel, to see to his retching girlfriend.

There was a moment of silence which was soon broken by Kol yelping in pain. "Oww, what the hell Elijah?" he hissed at his older brother. "Why-"he grunted and pulled the fork out that Elijah stabbed into his thigh.

"You know what you did" Elijah stated and took a sip of his tea…"and don't roll your eyes at me." He added when Kol did just that.


They were all standing around the pensive. Iris licked her lips, and like usual she had taken to holding Klaus's hand as they plunged into her memories.

"Well this is your third year is it going to be any more troublesome then your lasts?" Stefan asked, he was standing beside his brother and Jeremy.

"Hmm…you can be the judge of that-"Iris smiled causing Caroline to let out a whine

"Gosh you're not going to tell us a thing are you?" she asked.

Iris scoffed "Hell no, I had to go through a whole piecing everything along the way you guys can suck on it. I'm not spilling-"

"How about-"

"No Klaus sexing me up won't work." Iris cut him off, and rolled her eyes when Klaus let out a little growl.

"Let's just do this-"Stefan declared wanting to get things to move on.

"Ok let's get ready-"Elena started

"We're not running a race-"Rebekah sniped at the doppelganger. Elijah cleared his throat not wanting an argument to break out,

"On the count of three-one…"Iris grasped onto Klaus's hand. The Original hybrid's grip on her was secure "two-"

"You think I've got time to go to the bathroom-"Jeremy blurted out shifting from one foot to the other.

"No-three-"Elijah finished off. With that Iris felt the familiar pull on her naval and they all dove into the pensive.

"Whoa-still not use to it-"Alaric staggered onto his feet. Iris stumbled but Klaus kept a hold on her. She looked around and sighed…of course they were back at Privet Drive.

Caroline frowned looking around the room; it was the size of a closet. "Ever thought of redecorating Iris?" she asked. The raven head rolled her eyes

"Yes all the time-that was on the top of my list-"she said sarcasm oozing from her tone.

"Oh goody-"the young blond vampire squealed clapping her hands.

"So…she can't understand sarcasm?" Rebekah drawled,

"Can we focus please?" Elijah stated gesturing to the scene. Iris did just that and saw her past-self sitting on the edge of the poor excuse of a bed.

"Hmm…Iris you're filling out a bit darling-"Kol smirked wagging his eyebrows up and down. Said raven head balked

"You sick pervert-I'm 13 here-"she scowled,

"You Originals are really-"

"Enough-"Elijah commanded instantly shutting them up. Klaus rolled his eyes…of course they'd listen to Elijah…for him it took effort for people to listen to him…he would tend to rip hearts out to gain some attention.

"What're you reading?" Stefan asked curiously, seeing the new teen staring at a piece of parchment. He decided to go over and see for himself, Damon glanced around

"Come to think of it you've got a lot of post-"he stated, seeing the stacks of opened envelopes Iris and the others opted to stay by the wall. "it was your birthday?" he asked seeing a card…which had that bushy haired girl's scrawl on, the vampire couldn't exactly recall what her name was.

"Yep-I get a lot of owl post-." Iris said with a smile on her face,

"Right-yo Stef read out that-"Jeremy nodded towards the piece of parchment that past Iris was reading at the moment.

"You don't mind?" the youngest Salvatore asked Iris, who simply shook her head and gestured for him to read "Alright it says 'Dear Miss Potter, Please note that the new school year will begin on September the first. The Hogwarts Express will leave from King's Cross Station, platform nine and three-quarters at eleven o'clock. Third years are permitted to visit the village of Hogsmeade at certain weekends. Please give the enclosed permission form to your [aren't or guardian to sign…..sincerely yours Professor McGonagall'

"Tough break kiddo-"Alaric frowned, already knowing from their past visits that Iris's aunt and uncle were not likely going to sign it.

"Wait Hogsmeade?" Rebekah frowned "was that the village we bypassed?" she asked

"Yep-when we get out of this whole thing I'm definitely taking you there." Iris grinned tucking in a loose curl behind her ear.

"Do they have bars?" Damon asked, watching as past Iris pulled out another piece of parchment, which he detected was the permission form.

"Yes-"Iris replied,

"I'm in-"

"Me too-"Alaric added. Elijah however was paying more attention to the scene before them then the others, he followed little Iris's gaze and frowned seeing how late it was, it was two o'clock in the morning.

"Good you're going to sleep now-"the dark haired Original said as the thirteen year old climbed into bed,


They felt the pull on the naval, and knew that the scene was about to shift.

"Wait-we came to read a letter about Hogsmeade?" Elena asked a frown marring her face. Rebekah rolled her eyes in annoyance

"It's obvious isn't it?" the female Original cocked an eyebrow, the tugging was growing more intense

"This is going to be vital for her year-"

"Got it in one-"Iris yelled at before they all disappeared.

They reappeared in the Dursley's kitchen, "That's seriously gross-and you guys bitch about me and my meals-"Jeremy stated, seeing Iris's Cousin Dudley with piles and piles of food on his plate.

"It is sickening what humans put their bodies through-"Elijah nodded seeing the young boy's five chins wobbling as he engorged himself on food.

"There you are-"Klaus uttered seeing little Iris appeared in the doorway, he frowned when she took a seat between her cousin and uncle.

"It's your birthday-none of them even said anything-"Caroline frowned annoyed even more so when Iris shrugged her shoulders

"So?" she uttered.

Rebekah groaned "That's it I am organising a party for you-show you how to have fun-"Elena scoffed

"You sure you know what fun is? You've been daggered for the last couple of decades-"

"At least I haven't been leading men on-"she snarled back

"Can you guys duke it out later? Watch-"Alaric said, Iris shook her head…she didn't give a toss about Elena, hell she couldn't even hate her since that was rather a strong emotion, no the former witch was indifferent to the brunette. Rebekah however was making her dislike well known.

Kol opened his mouth about to speak, but a shard stomp from Klaus shut him up, as they were now watching the small television that was located in the kitchen, where there was a news report.

"…the public is warned that Black is armed ad extremely dangerous. A special hotline has been set up, and any sighting of Black should be reported immediately" the newswoman said.

"No need to tell us he's not good,-"Rebekah cringed when the fat man snorted, she saw some spittle flying from his lips "Look at the state of him, the filthy layabout! Look at his hair-"much to the group's annoyance par Iris they all sent senior Dursley filthy looks when he glared at little Iris.

Caroline scoffed and canted her head to the side, as Black appeared on screen "You know if he gets rid of that gaunt look, and washed his hair he would be handsome." Iris scrunched up her nose

"Ok…please don't talk about him like that." she said, causing them to send her questioning looks.

Klaus groaned under his breath "What?" Iris whispered to the hybrid as the others all started to watch the scene again.

The dirty blond haired Original shot her a look, and leant down so that his lips were pressed against the shell of her ear "It doesn't bode well for me that there's an escaped convict on the loose." He whispered her emerald green orbs met his deep ocean blue orbs

"Klaus-"she starts.

"Do you get hurt?" he asked. "And do not think of lying to me-"he snarled. A frustrated sigh left Iris's lips

"Klaus we've been through this. I do get hurt but this already happened. So there's nothing you can do about it-"she whispered.

Klaus's jaw clenched "Fine….."He propped his chin atop her head, Iris sagged against his hard frame "but just so you know you're not off the hook regardless-"he whispered and kissed her on the cheek. Iris could feel his stubble against her smooth cheek.

She focused back on the scene and nearly jumped when Uncle Vernon barked "Hang on-you didn't tell us where that maniac's escaped from! What use is that? lunatic could be coming up the street right now-"

Jeremy rolled his eyes "Yeah and with any luck he'll finish you lot off." He stated earning a sharp look from Elena.

"Jeremy they are people you can't just-"

"Shut up Elena. I wasn't talking to you." the younger Gilbert snapped, Iris's eyes widened and Stefan gaped…definitely wasn't expecting that.

"She looks like she would love to call the cops on him-classy-"Rebekah drawled eyeing the dark haired woman in distaste. The Original wasn't wrong since Petunia was peering out of the windows

"When will they learn?"

"God does he ever fucking stop talking-my head is hurting-"Damon groaned when Vernon pounded his fat fist against the table

"-that the hangin's the only way to deal with these people?"

"I'd like to hang him from his tongue-"Kol smirked deviously picturing that. Iris frowned…yeah he was definitely morbid.

Stefan watched as Iris's beastly Uncle drained his cup of tea and stood up "I'd better be off in a minute Petunia, Marge's train gets in at ten."

"You don't look like you're a fan of hers." Caroline pointed out seeing little Iris paling and it was proven right when she blurted out "Aunt Marge? Sh-she's not coming here is she?"

"Another dreadful relative?" Klaus drawled.

Iris nodded and bit down on her bottom lip, she still held a burning torch of hatred for the obese woman "She's he's sister-"she explained.

"EWW…it's bad enough there's him, now there's a female version of him?" Jeremy shuddered causing Alaric to snort.

"So did she-"

"No she didn't hurt me-"Iris said cutting Elijah off, she knew where he was going with this "We-she just doesn't like me." She added.

"Still that's a poor reason to treat you in that way." Stefan frowned, Iris inwardly was cursing herself dear Merlin how were they going to cope with her next couple of years at Hogwarts…shit she…she wasn't at all looking forward to Klaus's reaction to Cedric.

Iris looked ahead and was glad that her past-self stood stock still as Vernon got in her face, Klaus pushed down the urge to let out a snarl, "Marge will be here for a week-"the red face man snarled "and while we're on the subject-"

"Dick-"Alaric grumbled when Vernon pointed a fat finger at the teenage girl

"-we need to get a few things straight before I go and collect her. –"Present Iris winced a slight bit when Klaus unknowingly dug his fingers into her hip

"Klaus too much-"she winced,

"Apologies love-"Klaus's grip lightened up, but the dark glare on his face didn't waver as he watched the scene.

"Firstly-"the man growled, "you'll keep a civil tongue in your head when you're talking to Marge."

"Alright-"little Iris spat bitterly, causing Elijah to frown no child should sound so downhearted like that "If she does when she's talking to me-"

Damon scoffed "No offence but if this Marge is related to that thing-"the vampire jerked his thumb in Vernon's direction "I doubt she'd even know what civil is."

Iris muffed a laugh…"Well for her Karma is a bitch" she said,

"Oh spill-"Caroline ordered her attention immediately went to the raven head, but Iris shook her head

"Just watch it'd be worth the wait." Iris informed them,

Alaric hummed and looked back at the scene, and once again annoyance flared up within him when he saw Vernon acting as if he hadn't heard the thirteen year old. "Secondly as Marge doesn't know anything about your abnormality-"this got a loud scoff from Rebekah "I don't want any-any funny stuff while she's here. You behave yourself, got me?"

"I will if she does-"little Iris said through gritted teeth.

"Yeah-woop keep sticking up for yourself-"Jeremy nodded approvingly.

"And thirdly-"Vernon started,

Kol let out a loud groan "He's annoying…and boring-talks complete nonsense"

"Well in that aspect he's like you-"Klaus quipped earning a dirty look from his younger brother. "Just watch it-"

Kol did just that as Vernon carried on talking "we've told Marge you attend St Brutus's Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Girls."

"What-?" little Iris yelled, unknowingly the invisible group all shouted that as well. Present Iris clutched her ear and shoved a laughing Kol over since the youngest Original brother thought it would be hilarious to scream directly in her ear.

"And you'll be sticking to that story, girl-or there'll be trouble-"with that all of the Original's eyes darkened in anger and spite. "Well Petunia-I'll be off to the station, then. Want to come along for the ride Dudders?"

Iris wasn't too surprised when Caroline, Jeremy, Damon and Kol all squawked at that "Damn how can that kid not get beaten up?" Damon chuckled. Iris snorted, she wasn't going to lie, and she found it hilarious when Dudley still sported those pet-names even at the age of sixteen.

"No-"Dudley said, and much to Alaric's disgust the boy didn't move his gaze.

"They're putting him into an early grave." Elijah tutted shaking his head, and much to the group's amusement Petunia pattered over to her son.

"Duddy's got to make himself smart for his auntie; Mummy bought him a nice new bow-tie"

"Eww- he so can't pull off a bow-tie. I doubt you would be able to see it under all of that chin" Caroline cringed when Petunia started to smooth Dudley's thick hair. Vernon clapped him on the shoulder

"See you in a bit then." He said and left the kitchen.

"Thank god-he was taking way too much space-"Damon stated.

"You are aware they just go through us?" Iris questioned,

"I was being sarcastic-"the vampire replied, "Oh there you go-"the eldest Salvatore declared seeing little Iris who had been sitting in some sort of horrified trance jumping onto her feet and quickly followed after her Uncle.

The group easily followed after her, Vernon was pulling on his coat "I'm not taking you-"he snarled, Klaus gritted his teeth, one thing he definitely learnt so far from this experience was that he wasn't as impatient anymore.

"Like I wanted to come-"little Iris said coldly, causing Stefan to shift uneasily feeling that if Iris was a vampire…and she had flipped the switch she would be scary as hell. "I want to ask you something."

Klaus frowned, Elijah's brows furrowed "What are you up to?" he asked

Iris tapped her nose and pointed at the scene "Watch." She instructed. She saw the way Uncle Vernon eyed her past self suspiciously

"Third years at Hog-at my school are allowed to visit the village sometimes-"little Iris announced, Alaric had to hand it to the kid…even back then she could hold her nerve

"So?" snapped Uncle Vernon, taking his car keys from the hook that was next to the door.

"I need you to sign the permission for." Said little Iris in a rush,

Jeremy frowned wondering did she actually thought for a second that her uncle would do something nice for her? "And why would I do that?" sneered the man

"Never in my life have I been so tempted to slap a man's head off." Elijah said to himself. Despite being the most moral of the Originals he would make an exception for this.

"Well-"Klaus could see that little Iris was choosing her words carefully "it'll be hard work, pretending to Aunt Marge I go to that St Whatsist-"

"St Brutus's Secure Centre for Incurably Criminal Girls!" Uncle Vernon bellowed

"If he does that one more time I am definitely going to puke-"Caroline gagged when once again she witnessed spittle coming out of his mouth.

"You're smart-"Klaus smirked knowing where Iris had gone with this, he noted a definite note of panic in Uncle Vernon's voice.

"Exactly-"Kol grinned seeing how casual their little witch was "It is a lot to remember. I'll have to make it sound convincing won't I? What if I accidentally let something slip?" she asked

"You'll get the stuffing knocked out of you, won't you?" roared Vernon, Iris hurriedly grabbed Klaus's wrist when her uncle pinned her thirteen year old self against the wall by the collar of her dress.

"That bastard-"

"I will run him through with a knife-"Elijah growled

"Not after we make him squeal like a pig." Kol added, his hands curling into fists. Elena swallowed nervously seeing how protective they were of Iris….she no doubt if she did something like she had done previously to the raven head…well she would end up paying in painful ways.

"Calm down-already happened" Iris said "just watch please-"

They did just that and didn't miss the smile curling on the thirteen year old witch's lips "Knocking the stuffing out of me won't make Aunt Marge forget what I could tell her." she stated.

Much to the group's relief Uncle Vernon dropped her "But if you sign my permission form-"little Iris carried on quickly "I swear I'll remember where I'm supposed to go to school, and I'll act like a Mug-I'm normal and everything." She added.

Kol snorted "Darling you're the most normal one out of our family-"he chuckled. Iris smiled her heart stilled warmed at that…being part of a family.

"It's weird watching him think-"Damon stated, seeing the man obviously going little Iris's proposition, Iris laughed

"Picture that face on Dudley-"she grinned.

"Right-"Vernon finally snapped "I shall monitor your behaviour carefully during Marge's visit. If, at the end of it, you've ted the line and kept to the story, I'll sign your ruddy form." They watched as he wheeled around, pulled open the front door and slammed it so hard that one of the little panes of glass at the top fell out.

"So….least you got your form sign." Stefan said opting to look at the bright side of things. But seeing the looks he was receiving he decided to dial down the grin on his face.


The scene jumped forward, once again the group was back in the hallway it was obviously late in the day and Jeremy noted that the pane of glass which had fallen out was put back in.

"I hear something-"Damon said in a eerie voice "I hear dead people-roar-"he jumped out Iris causing her to scream, she flung her arm out and managed to catch the eldest Salvatore right in the nose.

"Oh fuck-"Damon groaned in pain "you broke it-"

"Nice right hook love-but hold your fist like this so you won't break your thumb-"Klaus grinned, choosing to ignore the look Damon was shooting him.

Stefan chuckled and clapped his older brother on the back "Deserved it…and it's a car not dead people.-"he drawled, that was true, there was a crunch of gravel beneath car tyres…"It's like waiting for Armageddon or something-"he commented seeing little Iris, Dudley ad Petunia all lining up.

They heard the car's doors slamming shut and footsteps on the garden path, Caroline braced herself not really wanting to see a female version of Iris's uncle.

"Get the door-"Aunt Petunia hissed at little Iris.

"Bitch-aren't her arms working?" Rebekah scowled crossing her arms in front of her chest. And watched as little Iris rushed forward and opened the doors.

Caroline gasped, Damon forgot all about his bloodied nose, Elijah's lips slackened, Klaus's eyes bugged out, Jeremy gaped and Stefan looked as if someone fed him vervaine.

"Dear god, it's worst then I imagine-"Rebekah breathed. Present Iris burst into giggles…there on the threshold stood Aunt Marge, she was very Vernon like Alaric noted, large, beefy and purple faced

"She's got-she's got more hair then me-"Klaus sneered seeing the woman sporting a moustache. In one hand she was holding a suitcase, and tucked under the other was an old and evil tempered bull dog.

"Where's my Dudders?" roared Aunt Marge, causing all the vampires to clutch their ears. "Where's my neffy-poo?"

Jeremy squealed with laughed but hastily cleared his throat seeing the incredulous looks being shot his way.

"Dude did you go through puberty yet?" Damon asked causing the youngest Gilbert to flip him the bird.

"He looks like a pregnant woman-"Caroline said seeing Dudley waddling over, his blond hair was plastered to his fat head, a bow-tie just visible under his many chins. Ant Marge thrust the suitcase into little Iris's stomach, Klaus made a noise of annoyance when the raven head was nearly knocked over. Marge pulled her nephew into a hug.

"He got paid to hug her?" Alaric asked in disbelief seeing the crisp twenty pound note in his fat hand..

"Yep-"Iris said,

"Petunia-"shouted Marge, Kol winced

"Daft bint does she not know that they're in the same room?" the vampire growled in annoyance just as Vernon came into the house.

"Tea Marge?" he said

"What is it with your brits and tea?" Caroline asked,

Iris quirked an eyebrow folding her arms in front of her chest "And you Yanks and coffee?" she countered,

"Alright fare enough-"the blond vampire grinned, and watched as little Iris was left alone I the hallway.

They were once again in the kitchen, Iris shifted…she remembered word for word what the vile woman said about her parents…and already felt her ire rising.

"And we're back here again." Rebekah sighed, beginning to detest the sight of the Dursley's kitchen.

"What the hell is wrong with the demon dog?" Kol frowned and saw that the bull-dog was growling at little Iris who in the motion of sitting down. "Ah I get it-"

"Dick-"Iris huffed,

The group watched as the beefy woman's attention reined in on little Iris "So-"she barked "Still here are you?"

"Dumb bitch-"Damon growled

"Yes-"little Iris replied,

"Don't you say 'yes' in that ungrateful tone" Aunt Marge growled, but it was no match for the growl that ripped out from Klaus's throat. "It's damn good of Vernon and Petunia to keep you. Wouldn't have done it myself. You'd have gone straight to the orphanage if you'd' been dumped on my doorstep."

"No offence Iris, but you would have been better off." Jeremy commented. Iris nodded

"No kidding." She said, and could tell that her past-self was itching to say that. But instead a pained looking smile appeared on her face, causing Damon and Stefan to snigger along with Kol. "Shut up-"she pouted.

"Don't you smirk at me" boomed Marge, Elijah now had that dreadful urge to rip the woman's head off "I can see you haven't improved since I last saw you. I hoped school would knock some manners into you-"

"She is aware you're not in the middle ages anymore right?" Alaric scoffed, thinking what planet was this woman from, and was disgusted when she belched

"Where is it that you send her again Vernon?"

"St Brutus's?" said Vernon promptly.

Stefan canted his head to the side "Is that even a real place?" he asked. Iris nodded she actually looked it up in her final summer here.

"Yep but's it been closed for twenty years since…one of the kids were brutally murdered by a teacher." She informed them.

"Whoa-"Caroline mumbled as Vernon carried on speaking

"-It's a first rate institution for hopeless cases."

"I see-"Aunt Marge said "Do they use he cane at St Brutus's girl?" she barked at little Iris.

"Does she even know your name?" Alaric gaped at the woman, the beefy woman seemed eager to know the details of the horrid place.

"Yes-"little Iris replied instantly, Klaus winced "All the time-"

"Seriously love we need work on your lying skills." He drawled,

Elijah cocked a dark eyebrow "You are aware Niklaus you're telling your other half this?"

"Right-ok forget that Iris-"Klaus tugged a loose curl.

They all focused back in on the scene and much to everyone's annoyance Marge was still talking "Excellent, I won't have this namby-pamby, wishy-washy nonsense about hitting people who deserve it. A good thrashing is that's needed in ninety-nine case out of a hundred. Have you been beaten often?" she asked

"You know she's right-we should beat and beat and beat-till she stopped moving." Kol said his eyes had visibly darkened.

Iris licked her lips "Ok-let's watch-wow-"she mouthed at Elijah who merely shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh yeah loads of times." Said little Iris, present Iris winced

"You're right I am a shitty liar-"she frowned, Damon snorted and rolled his eyes, now she realised? He thought.

Klaus stiffened when Marge narrowed her eyes at the raven head "I still don't like your tone, girl-"

"Bloody cow-say her name-"Rebekah fumed getting angered by this meaningless human talking this way to Iris.

"-if you can speak of your beatings in that casual way, they clearly aren't hitting you hard enough. Petunia I'd write if I were you. Make it clear that you approve the use of extreme force in this girl's case."

Klaus lips stretched into a snarl "Ok-another one added on to the list of many people I will slaughter." He said breezily.

Iris gaped at him and then turned to Elijah, "What? I do not care for your treatment Iris. You're family…and we're a force to be reckoned with." He murmured so that only she could hear.

Iris swallowed and got the feeling that Marge's destiny clearly had been written out, it was definitely not in her favour


The scene again shifted and once more they were in the kitchen again. Iris's eyes widened realising what particular scene they were on….crap she didn't want them to see her completely losing it. She scrunched her eyes closed and attempted to fast-forward it but memories don't exactly work like that.

"Iris why do you look constipated?" Jeremy asked.

"Because I am-how about we check out the house-"she offered eagerly, Klaus frowned as did the others

"Yeah no-look we've just arrived. Let's watch." Elijah said, his tone left no room for argument so Iris frowned and toed her shoe into the hardwood floor.

"You mustn't bale yourself for the way the girl's turned out, Vernon-"Marge said , Rebekah scowled getting more infuriated that they were talking about Iris like this "If there's something rotten on the inside, there's nothing anyone can do about it" she stated.

"What the hell does she mean? There's nothing wrong with you-"Klaus snarled,

"She's talking out of her arse-"Iris hastily stated, Stefan glanced over to little Iris and could see her face reddening

"Uh oh-"Damon sang, he could tell that Iris's temper was beginning to rise, Marge reached for another glass of wine

"It's one of the basic rules of breeding-"Klaus could feel his hackles rising, Iris could sense the tension in the air "you see it all the time with dogs, if there's something wrong with the bitch, they'll be something wrong with the pup-"

"Did she call your mother a bitch?" Elena asked in disbelief, Iris was too pissed off now to speak so nodded, surprisingly it was Klaus who managed to calm her down.

"Shit-"Caroline nearly jumped out of her skin, when the glass of wine that Marge was holding on to smash into pieces,

"Marge-"squealed Petunia "Marge are you alright?" she asked.

"No, the cow should have been blinded-"Rebekah said under her breath, as the woman's ruddy face was dripping.

"Not to worry-"grunted Marge mopping her face with her napkin "Must have squeezed it too hard. Did the same thing at Colonel Fubster's the other day. No need to fuss, Petunia I have a very firm grip-"

"Dear god, she must've broken several men's penises over the years-"Damon guffawed, Iris choked and shook her head

"No, no-mental image disgusting-"Iris exclaimed, causing Jeremy but he hastily agreed. Elijah narrowed his eyes seeing the suspicious looks Vernon and Petunia was shooting the young witch.

"It was you-"he declared "You still had accidental magic at that age?" the eldest Original brother was immensely impressed at that, he had studied magic in this world and already knew that children tend to stop doing accidental magic when they start schooling. And for Iris to still have that beforehand indicated that she was very powerful.

"Here we go again-"Stefan quipped feeling the scene shifted before them.

"And we're back in the kitchen-boring." Rebekah drawled, looking around like their last encounter the Dursley and little Iris was gathered around the round table. But now the table had been laden with several bottles of wines, "Is this meant to be a fancy meal?" she asked, seeing the half-filled platter of salmon and half-finished bowls of soup.

"Yes-"Iris replied a smile playing on her face and wasn't disappointed when she saw the look of disdain on her face.

"It's terrible." The female Original upturned her nose,

"They drink way too much around kids-"Alaric commented as Vernon entered the room with a bottle of brandy, Damon and the others looked at him in disbelief "What? I don't drink around kids under thirteen-"the hunter defended himself

"Can I tempt you Marge?"

"God keep her drinking, hopefully she'll drop dead with alcohol poisoning-"Kol sniped, seeing how red in the face the fat woman was.

"Just a small one, then." She chuckled, the mere noise seemed to irk on Klaus's nerves "a bit more that that…and a bit more…that's it-"

"That's more than half the bottle." Caroline tutted. "And ew does no one in this house think about calorie intake?" she asked rounding on Iris, who stared at her wide eye. The blond could easily tell that Dudley was on his forth slice of pie, or whatever the desert was.

Jeremy could also see that little Iris seemed to be itching to get away; he didn't blame her, her Aunt Marge, made Uncle John seem like a breeze.

"Aha-"said Marge smacking her lips and putting the empty glass down. "Excellent nosh, Petunia. It's normally just a fry-up for me of and evening, with twelve dogs to look after-"she burped causing Rebekah to gag, Elijah blinked and tried to school his features "Pardon me. But I do like to see a healthy sized boy," she went onto winking at Dudley

"That's fucking sick-"Damon said loudly "Ergh and that's not a healthy size boy-he's a walking whale-"Iris snorted at that, she had thought of Dudley like that more than once.

"-You'd be a proper size man Dudders, like your father-"

"He'll die before his thirty-"Stefan predicted the rate the boy was going, he doubt he'd be able to stand soon.

"-Now this one-"she jerked her head in little Iris's direction,

"She should learn some respect-"Kol snarled he couldn't wait to get out this whole pensive thing, just to track this obscene woman down.

"-This one's got a mean, runty look about her.-"

"Bloody cow no she does not-"Rebekah hissed "I'll show her mean and runty-"she vowed.

They watched as Marge carried on "You get that with dogs. I had Colonel Fubster drown one last year. Ratty little thing it was, Weak, Under bred-"

"Is she insinuating you should have been drowned at birth?" Klaus demanded, anger, rage and fury laced his tone.

"Klaus this happened-"

"That's it, forget ripping her apart, we'll drown her, bring her back as a vampire and torture her over and over again, "Rebekah declared,

"What-"Elena gaped.

Kol sneered at the doppelganger "What's wrong human? Scared? That's just the tip of the ice-berg to what we do for those we care about-or mess with us." His dark eyes zeroed her out.

"Let's watch shall we?" Elijah intervened sensing things could become quickly, and they all focused back on the scene.

"It all comes down to blood, as I was saying the other day. Bad blood will out-"Present Iris could feel her heart rate speeding up "Now I'm saying nothing against you family, Petunia-"

"She is though-"Caroline said confusion laced in her tone, as she watched Marge patting Petunia's bony had,

"But your sister was a bad egg. They turn up in the best families. Then she ran off with a wastrel and here's the result right in front of us." Marge stated whilst sneering at little Iris. The thirteen seemed to shudder under her glare.

"Bad egg?" Jeremy scoffed in disbelief "Has she ever seen in the mirror?" he gaped in shock.

Little Iris seemed to have a concentrated look on her face, Elijah as proud to see at least the raven head attempted to control the table.

"This Potter-"said Marge loudly, "you never told me what he did?"

"God just give her a good beating." Damon breathed he wouldn't mind pitching in when the Originals tracked her down. and helping out there.

No one missed the way Vernon and Petunia looked extremely tensed. Even Dudley was watching his parents.

"He-didn't work-"said Vernon with a threatening glance at Iris. "Unemployed."

"AS I expected-"said Marge taking a swig of her brandy, Kol had the urged to smash the bottle repeatedly against her scalp. "A no-account, good for nothing, lazy scrounger-"

"He was not-"little Iris shouted suddenly silencing the whole room. Damon let out a low whistle seeing memory Iris shaking with anger, Iris recalled that was the one of the times well she had been incensed with rage.

"MORE BRANDY?" yelled Vernon, much to Alaric's disgust the man dumped the rest of the liquid in to his sister's glass, the woman looked like she could barely handle any more. "You girl-"

"Learn her fucking name-"Kol spat

"- go to bed now." he snarled.

"Just go, just go-"Caroline chanted under her breath, she didn't want Iris to get into any trouble it made her sick to her stomach recalling how their first meeting with Dursley revealed, which was that they had been physically abusing the kind-hearted raven head.

"No Vernon-"The blond vampire let out an audible groan when Iris's aunt spoke, her beady blood-shot eyes were focused on little Iris "Go on girl. Proud of your parents, are you? They go ahead and get themselves killed in a car crash (drunk I expect)-"

"That vile, vile woman-"Elijah spat, and wasn't too surprised when little Iris shot up onto her feet

"They didn't die in a car crash" little Iris screamed, and yelped when Marge clamoured on to her feet grabbing little Iris's wrist

"They died in a car crash, you nastily little liar, and left you to be a burden on their decent, hardworking relatives!" Marge screamed back, her spit flying straight into little Iris's face. Klaus was itching for the woman to stop man-handling his girl. The woman seemed to be swelling in rage "You insolent, ungrateful little-"

"Ok that's it-we're all in for hunting her down right?" Alaric asked

"If there's anything left of her you can have it." Kol smirked and watched on, he blinked twice and saw that his eyes weren't playing tricks on his since right before them, Marge seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

"Oh my god-"Elena breathed seeing the woman's face getting bigger and bigger, she instinctively ducked when the buttons on her tweed jacket popped and bounced off the walls.

"Shut you're blowing her up-"Damon cackled, and without further ado everyone broke out in laughter as the woman seem to float around the room.

"MARGE-!"

"Damn I wished I had a camera-"Jeremy snickered wiping a stray tear from his face.

Rebekah tutted a look of disappointment appeared on her face "That's not painful-go get a knife and plunge it into her throat-"she ordered.

Iris stared at her for a second "This happened-am I not making that clear?" she asked aloud, but no one answered since they were far too focus on the woman who was blowing up.

Iris looked up and grinned seeing Marge was now completely round and bobbing around the ceiling, "Eww-"Caroline automatically lifted her leg, when Ripper, the bull dog came skidding into the room barking madly.

"NOOO" Vernon screamed seizing Marge's ankle and tried to pull her down. Stefan scoffed thinking as if that would work.

"Ok maybe the dog isn't so bad-"Klaus smirked seeing the mutt sinking his teeth into Vernon's leg.

"Shit you're fast-"Alaric cursed seeing little Iris tearing out of the room, without further ado the group jogged after her

"Whoa-"they jumped when the cupboard under the stairs door magically burst open, they watched as Iris reached into it and heaved her trunk to the front door.

"There's no point of following me up there-"Iris called out just as Caroline was about to chase after her sprinting figure.

"What did you do?" Klaus turned to her, Iris smiled sheepishly

"Out-"she said

"There's a mass murderer on the loose-"Elijah drawled just as little Iris came sprinting down the stairs, with an empty birdcage, and a pillow case which was filled to the brim full of presents.

They immediately stiffened when Vernon limped over to little Iris, with a bloodied leg.

"COME BACK HERE-COME BACK AND PUT HER RIGHT-"

"She was never right-"Rebekah whispered to Kol who chuckled.

Elijah could see that a reckless rage had overtaken Iris, in that aspect she was similar to Klaus, They watched as Iris dug into her trunks and pulled out her wand, digging it into Vernon's neck.

"She deserved it" little Iris said breathing heavily. You keep away from me." She fumbled with the catch and swallowed "I'm going. I've had enough." And the next moment Iris was out into the dark night.

"You ran out with a murderer on the loose?" Klaus snapped

Iris blinked "I'm sleeping with one…and I wasn't thinking-"she said sheepishly.

Elijah rolled his eyes and smoothed down his jacket "That is obvious." He drawled, Iris glared at him

"Well shall we go after you?" he asked.

"Let's go." Iris hurriedly exited Privet drive, and could see her past-self heaving her heavy trunk. The others easily kept up with her.

"At least-your night wasn't boring." Kol chirped and snarled when Iris shoved him into a passing bush. This year was going to be more tiring then Iris thought.
