SO... it's been a hot minute, and I'm not going to lie and say I've been working hard on my stories, cuz... let's be honest, I'm on a whole other level with my procrastination and how constant I have writer's block.

ANYWAYS... here's the next chapter, I truly hope you enjoy it, and the Polls have been put up and... sorry to say, that I decided to go with my original route, but if you have any input or ideas you want to throw out, please let me know.

*ALSO ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THE END*

"Henrik… I mean… Henry… what do you mean that you killed yourself to make them vampires?" Nick asked softly, his eyes glancing over to Kol who winked at him, he frowned before looking back at Jeremy who looked jealous.

"Exactly that Nick, in order to keep my brothers and sister safe from aunt Dahlia, I had to ensure that they don't bear children, but since doing that kind of spell required a large amount of magic, I had to go with the next option, and that had either Anya or mother tap into dark magic, and create the vampires," Henry replied.

"But… why? Why bring an end to our bloodline?" Rebekah asked.

"Finn… do you want to tell them?" Henry asked.

"What's going on? Brother, what is going on?" Elijah asked.

"Do you guys remember the reason we came to the new world?" Finn asked.

"Yeah, supposedly, our older sister died of a cold, and with our parents distraught, we came here," Kol said.

"That's not true, Freya, our older sister was taken, by aunt Dahlia, our mother's older sister, she was taken because our mother had become barren, and unable to conceive, she went to Dahlia and while our aunt was able to use magic to allow our mother to become pregnant, she told mother that there would be a price to pay, and that price was mother's first-born, Freya, along with every first-born child that followed after, so long as our mother's bloodline continued, once mother had Freya, she had me a year later, when I was four, and Freya was five, Dahlia came and took her from us, claiming that she'd come for her claim, and warned mother that she must continue on the bloodline, mother told father a lie and that is why we came to the new world, to try and hide away from Dahlia… but it seems we were unsuccessful," Finn said.

"But… why kill us now? I get that the witches are upset about the balance, but for mother to go this far?" Rebekah wondered.

"It's because Nik broke the hybrid curse," Henry stated.

"Why would that affect anything?" Klaus asked.

"You are part-werewolf, and that part is still human… meaning…" Henry said.

"You can get a triggered werewolf, or witch pregnant," Elijah muttered.

"Bloody hell," Kol called out.

"Wait… so you mean to tell me, that Klaus… can get someone pregnant?" Elena asked.

"Yes, Elena, that is the gist of it all, that is why mother is here to kill you all, to stop aunt Dahlia from obtaining another Mikaelson newborn," Henry stated.

"Wait… what I don't understand is how… I mean, she's a witch, right? Human and all that, how can she still be alive? She'd be nothing but a bag of bones," Caroline asked.

"She cast a spell on her and on Freya, allowing them a form of immortality," Henry stated.

"What? Freya… she's alive?" Finn asked.

"Yes… but at a cost, the spell basically links Dahlia and Freya to one another, and puts them in a suspended hibernation, for 100 years, and awaken and age for one year, before going back to sleep, that is how they're still alive, they've age only around 10 or so years, Freya's next awakening is in about two years, at the end of December," Henry stated.

"How do you know?" Finn asked once more.

"I… or rather Henrik… was able to create a telepathic link with her, however, after I… or rather, Henrik entered me… or Harry, that link broke, the link between us… Harry and Henrik, canceled it out, but the last I… Henrik heard of her, she was trying to find a way to come back permanently rather than wait two more years," Henry replied frowning as he was still trying to figure out what was going on.

"You know… all this is getting to be too confusing," Damon stated.

"Try having two minds in your head, I… Harry is trying to have more control, while he… I… Henrik is trying to have more control as well, now they… I… I'm at peace, but it won't last long, just as this union won't last," Henry joked as his headache was getting worse.

"So, how does this all work exactly, you said you were both, but not different, how does that work?" Caroline asked.

"It's a bit simple, give me a minute…" Henry said as he closed his eyes took a deep breath and soon the headaches were gone. "Sorry, it's just, their arguing was getting on my nerve, now as I was saying, it applies the three-personality psyche, Id, Ego, and Superego, in laymen's terms, Id is instinct, ego is reality, and the superego is morality, however, in my case, Henrik would be the Id, Harry the Ego, and I the Superego, right now, it's just me, the superego, combining both the Id and the Ego, Henrik and Harry, Harry would've represented the Ego, if the union didn't happen, as he's who you all see, Henrik is the Id, as he's been with Harry since birth, but his essence was on the other side, do you get it?" Henry replied.

"Kinda, so you're the union between Harry and Henrik, not one or the other, but both," Jeremy replied.

"Exactly, well right now I'm just Henry, Harry and Henrik have been arguing nonstop, and so I placed them in a timeout, so you can think of me as basically their child," Henry said.

"Okay, that is weird on so many levels," Stefan stated.

"But… what about… us?" Matt asked.

"It's all still there Matt… Damon, everything Harry thinks and feels for the two of you, is still in here, I feel what he feels, I dream what he dreams, I think what he thinks, but Henrik is also a part of me, like I said, physically I am both, but emotionally and spiritually, they are divided, and I am as well, this union is not perfect, but know that I'm still him, but if you're both okay with waiting, this union will end, and Harry will be back… but so will Henrik, in his new body," Henry said.

"What? A new body? How?" Nick asked.

"I can't tell you, just know that something dark is coming, and I… Harry and Henrik will need all of your help," Henry said.

"We'll be with you, brother," Elijah said as the other nodded.

"I waited a few decades, what's a bit more," Damon smirked after a while.

"… I'm not giving up on him," Matt also said as they all agreed to stand united.

Alexis was in the library looking up for ways to breath underwater, but so far, he was unable to find anything, this is getting me nowhere… he thought as he closed another book, he leaned against the chair and sighed, he heard someone clear their throat, he turned to see Colin look at him with a small smile.

"Everything okay?" Colin asked.

"Yeah… no, I found out the next task, and well… let's just say, it'll probably be the thing that kills me," Alexis sighed before stating jokingly.

"It can't be that bad," Colin said as he sat down next to Alexis.

"I have to find a way to breathe underwater, and nothing, I can't find anything," Alexis replied sigh a groan.

"Oh, well wouldn't a bubblehead charm help you?" Colin asked.

"Normally it would, but the thing about that spell is that without proper training or knowing the right wand movement, it'll come out as a disaster, and I can't ask any of the professors for help as it's forbidden, and I can't ask Cedric as that is also forbidden, so I'll have to learn it on my own, but the thing is, that the spellbook isn't in the library, it can only be learned for 5TH year charm students, and I'm still in fourth," Alexis replied.

"Ah… now I see the problem," Colin nodded, however, they were interrupted by another student.

"Um… Alexis, I was told to get you, as there is a champions meeting being held at the great hall in ten minutes, all champions must report there," the first year Ravenclaw informed them nervously.

"Thanks, I'll head over right now," Alexis said as he grabbed his things and said his goodbyes to Colin and headed out of the library.

It took him about two minutes to get to the great hall, where he saw the other champions also just arriving.

"Do you guys know what this is about?" Alexis asked.

"Non, we are as clueless as you," Fleur replied as they went inside the great hall, the three headmasters were in the center, the great hall was completely barren of all the tables.

"I'm glad that you have arrived, I know this looks a bit weird, but we have been talking, and have come up with something different," Albus spoke, Alexis watched as other students were muttering as they walked into the great hall, they all stood to the side and watched as the quartet walked up to the three Headmasters.

"What is going on, professor?" Alexis asked he could see his parents and uncles at the top where the staff table should've been with the rest of the Hogwarts staff and a few people he didn't know, but he guessed were the other champion's parents, if their reactions and similarities were anything to go by.

"We're changing the rules of the tournament, there have been recent, unsettling news regarding one of our judges, Barty Crouch Sr. has been found murdered right outside the forbidden forest, his magic was stolen from him, what's more, is that he's been meeting with someone to take all four of your magics as well, we believe and discovered to be true, that he was using the task as a way to slowly drain you four of your magic, and using it to… bring the Dark Lord back," Dumbledore announced, everyone was muttering amongst themselves as the news of Barty Crouch's death shocked them all, however, as they heard more of Dumbledore's speech, they began to panic more.

"What do you mean? How… how is that possible? I thought you-know-who was dead?" Cedric asked worryingly.

"We thought so too, but it seems as though whoever Barty was speaking to, has access to the Black library," Madam Maxine said.

"The Head of the DMLE, Madame Bones, investigated all of the Black family properties and discovered that there are a few rituals that could resurrect the Dark Lord," Igor spoke up.

"However, the one that caught our attention, was a ritual to resurrect someone from the dead, by sacrificing a life to return another's back, whoever is doing this, is after your all four of your magics, to give them to Lord Voldemort, and allow him to grow into a stronger being," Dumbledore stated, everyone was close to panicking, they were about to start calling out in panic, when the ground started shaking, everyone heard the sound of something cracking outside.

"What is that?" Alexis asked.

"The wards!" Albus cried out, everyone rushed outside the castle and they watched in horror as the wards were being attacked by a lone figure standing just at the other side of the bridge, they couldn't see who it was, but they saw as he conjured fireballs and threw them at the barrier, every blast, causing the crack to spread.

"Alexis, stay with me," Lily pleaded, Alexis stood his ground and they all watched as the final fireball shattered the entire barrier, they watched as a hoard of black smokes arrived behind the figure as he walked towards the group.

"Hello all, feel honored, that you are witnessing my ascension," the young man said, he had dark brown almost black hair, dark intense blood red eyes, he reached a 5'10, he had a slim-toned physique and regal masculine facial features.

"Who are you? How did you enter this place?" Albus all but demanded.

"You don't remember me, Albus? I'm hurt… I mean… I was your star student all those years ago," he smirked as he saw the realization hit Albus.

"No… how… how is this possible?" Albus muttered.

"I'd like to thank my loyalist supporter," he stated as he arrived at the end of the courtyard.

"Professor, who is he?" Alexis asked.

"Prefects, lead the first through third years into the castle, everyone else, prepare yourself, we are facing Voldemort, and his Death Eaters, do what you must to protect the children," Albus announced, soon all the first, second, and third years were dragged into the castle, as everyone else had their wands out.

Soon things began to get tense, as both sides were preparing for all-out war, and neither side would be backing down from the final confrontation.

"Okay, now that we got all that out of the way, what do we do now?" Caroline asked.

"With what?" Elena asked.

"Well… with the two original parents? You know, Esther who is trying to kill them all, and Mikael who is forcing Henry to turn him into a vampire, and kill them all," Caroline stated.

"Oh, that, well I have a plan, one that might work, but will require me to do something I don't know how I'll be able to come back from," Henry stated.

"What do you mean?" Nick asked.

"I'll be able to send Esther and Mikael into a type of prison, from which they'll never return, however, to do that, I'll require a lot of power, which means I'll have to tap into my creature inheritance," Henry replied.

"Creature what?" Everyone except Nick called out in confusion.

"Why didn't you tell me about it?" Nick asked.

"I… Harry, didn't say anything because it's very dangerous, there's a reason Henrik was drawn to me, and it wasn't just because we had similar souls and magic, it's because of Harry's natural affinity for extremely dark magic, his creature inheritance is known as a death phoenix, an extremely powerful and dangerous creature, who is said to have dominion over death, but whose magic comes from darkness itself, Harry is fearful of this power," Henry replied.

"So… why?" Klaus asked.

"To protect you all, you're my family and my friends, and because of Harry… or I must learn to accept that this power, this power I hide, it's a part of me, which means I'll have to make Mikael a vampire," Henry replied.

"But, okay, how do we trap them? What do you require?" Kol asked.

"I'll need three items, one is a device that will act as the key to open the prison world, now this is where it gets complicated, I'll need five white oak stakes, blood from the doppelganger, a Bennett witch, and from the Mikaelson's first born, but given that Freya is still asleep, Finn will have to do, and don't worry, I won't need a lot, just one vial from each of you, afterward, I'll need to do the spell on a celestial event, a full moon, new moon, lunar eclipse, anything, I'll also need to make sure that you're all here when I do it, because I'll need someone to pull me back from going the deep end," Henry stated.

"How are we going to get white oak stakes? Father destroyed them all," Kol asked.

"… Wait… didn't Mayor Lockwood mention that they were going to restore the old Wickery Bridge sign," Jeremy frowned before he thought of something.

"I think I vaguely remember it," Nick said.

"What's so important about a bridge sign?" Caroline asked.

"Think about it, Wickery Bridge is supposed to be this really old bridge, and the sign was made on a wooden tree that's really old, at least that's the story behind it, so… what's the oldest Tree around?" Jeremy said.

"You can't think…" Elena frowned.

"It's possible, we'll have to investigate, but it's possible," Jeremy stated.

"Alright, how about it, love, you want to join me in investigating?" Kol asked Nick as he wrapped an arm around the teen.

"Um… I…" Nick began to blush as he looked at Henry for help, all the while Jeremy looked ready to murder someone.

"That sounds fine, but I want Rebekah and Jeremy to go with the both of you as well, I think I might have something that will act as a key, everyone else, act as if nothing has happened, make Esther believe that we don't know of her plan… oh and Klaus, try not to actively look out for Mikael, please, I know you're tempted to, but please, I have to keep my word," Henry sighed as he motioned to the other two, he then turned towards Klaus who had a smug smirk on his face.

"I won't… if Caroline agrees to stay with me the entire time," Klaus said.

"You are out of…" Caroline began, but one look on Henry's face, and she knew she wasn't able to say no. "Ugh… fine! But only because I'm doing this for Henry," Caroline groaned.

"Thanks, now, Bonnie, Elena, Finn, I'll need a bit of your blood, I'll it get after I find the item I'll need," Henry stated.

"But… if you make the key, won't they be able to come back, especially with how strong mother is?" Elijah asked.

"Don't worry, that's why I need the three blood vials, they'll have to need them to get out of their prison, which means, they'll need to have Elena, Bonnie, or Finn in the prison world along with them, however, they won't know who's blood I'll be using," Henry replied.

"Damn, that's smart," Damon smirked.

"We never did find out what mother was planning," Rebekah said.

"She linked us to one another, so should one of us perish, we all die with her," Finn stated.

"What?!" Elijah, Rebekah, Klaus, and Kol cried out in shock.

"Don't worry, after tonight, I'll have them trapped, then I'll look about unlinking you guys, because not only are you all link to one another, your entire bloodline is linked to you, so not only would all of you die, but the entire vampiric race that was made from you would die as well," Henry replied.

"Wait… what?" Everyone else called out.

"Yeah, mother not only linked them but every vampire they sired are linked along with them," Henry stated.

"Well… fuck," Damon muttered.

Alexis created a wall of ice to block the barrage of killing curses, which were aimed at his mom, all of which came from James, Lily was still frozen in shock and horror after it was revealed that James was the one that was helping Tom rebuild his body, that James used the cup to slowly steal Alexis' magic, until Alexis claimed adulthood, and awakened his creature inheritance.

"Get a grip mom! Stop standing there and DO SOMETHING!" Alexis cried out as dodge another cruciatus curse aimed at him by Ron, who didn't join Voldemort but wanted to kill Alexis because of a deal he made with James.

"I… I can't… how… how could he?" Lily stood there still shocked.

"God, you're so fucking useless, fine die for all I care," Alexis groaned as he knew he couldn't keep on taking care of Lily and keep an eye out for himself.

"DIE YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" Ron cried out as he kept sending a barrage of cruciatus curse.

Alexis raised his hands and a powerful beam of ice shot out of his hands, stopping the spells in midair, he took a deep breath and cried out as he let out a powerful wave of magical ice energy outwards, freezing everything in his path, however, the energy seemed to know the difference between friend and foe, as many Hogwarts students were spared in its path, while many Deatheaters were frozen solid.

Across the courtyard, Albus and Voldemort were locked in a heated battle, neither side wanting to give in nor surrender.

"Give up old man, you've lost," Voldemort smirked as he sent another spell chain.

"I may be old my dear boy, but I'm not done," Albus stated as he blocked each spell, countering with his own spell chain.

Another intense battle was going on within the castle walls, as a group of Deatheaters was able to pass by the battle in the courtyard, and enter the castle, heading straight for the great hall where the younger year students were at, protected by a barrier created by Viktor, who was at the center of the Great hall, chanting a barrier spell, being helped by Hogwarts, who was using the magic in the ley line underneath the castle to help charge the barrier.

"I'm scared brother," Dennis said fearfully as he held onto Colin, who went with the younger students, as he knew he wasn't strong enough to fight the Deatheaters but was able to use his mild empathic abilities to help keep the students calm, as they could hear the battle rage on outside.

"Don't worry Dennis, we'll be alright here, so long as we don't leave this dome of protection, we'll be okay," Colin said.

Cedric and Fleur were outside the Great Hall, casting spell after spell to stop and incapacitate the Deatheaters.

"Fleur, don't let any of them pass by," Cedric stated as he tore through a few with his bare hands.

"Oui, I understand," Fleur replied as she sent another giant black fireball at the advancing Deatheaters.

Suddenly a loud roar was heard, everyone stopped and turned to see a large group of werewolves, mid-transformation were charging forwards, Voldemort laughed as he saw them as his allies, he began to attack Albus once more, who began to go on the defensive.

Alexis, you must stop them, if they reach the castle, you'll lose, the voice said.

'How, I'm barely able to keep Ron and James at bay,' Alexis muttered as he dodges another barrage of killing curses and severing hexes being thrown at him, he looked to see that his mom was still not reacting, he rushed and took her to the side, hiding behind a large boulder.

"Mom… if you ever loved me, if you ever cared for me, please, wake up and get your ass out there!" Alexis pleaded.

"Why… why would he…" Lily muttered.

"He did it, and it's done, god is that all you're going to say, don't you see what's going on, we're at WAR! Get a fucking grip, or people will die, in fact, while you've been in a daze, Professor McGonagall, Professor Sprout, a few of my fellow year mates, have died already!" Alexis cried out.

"But…" Lily's eyes began to water.

Alexis had enough and slapped Lily across the face, "god, you are so fucking selfish, you don't care that they died, all you care is about you, now I'm glad Harry left, you're useless, no, you're next to useless, you're pathetic, worthless, go ahead and die for all I care, I don't know why I just saved you… again!" Alexis had tears falling down his face, as Lily watched him in shock.

Alexis… now, you have to stop the wolves now, they're going to reach the castle soon, the voice stated.

What do I do then? Alexis thought as rushed to the side and hissed as he got hit by a stinging hex.

You need to unlock your full power, join with your creature inheritance when you do that, you'll create a burst of magical energy, that will freeze them and kill them, but you have to do it now, the voice said.

Will it shoot forwards, or is omnidirectional? Alexis asked.

Omnidirectional, so you'll have to do it close, the voice replied.

Alright, he thought as he closed his eyes and called upon his form, he rushed forwards, dodging spells and debris, dodging other battles, he watched as Hermione was struggling with a Deatheater, and a part of him wanted her to die, but he sighed as he sent a bolt of magic that hit the Deatheater and throwing the man far, and being impaled by a spearhead that was from a destroyed suit of armor.

Hermione turned to look at Alexis, she was going to thank him, but he kept on going.

He continued to help as much as he could, while dodging, and conserving some energy, he made it through a barricade of Deatheaters, freezing them in his path, and hearing them shatter behind him, he turned around in time to dodge a killing curse aimed at him, he looked to see Ron still after him.

"Finally, I'll finally get rid of you," Ron smirked as he glared at Alexis, he was about to send another killing curse, when they heard the wolves snarl close by.

It's time, the voice stated.

I know… will I'll be the same? Alexis wondered.

Yeah, you're just accepting the power within you, the creature that sleeps within, sure you'll probably look different, but you're not going to change personalities, you're just embracing who you truly are, the voice stated.

"Okay… thanks," Alexis took a deep breath and closed his eyes, he could feel the creature within him stir, begging to be released and come forth, he opened his eyes and time seemed to slow down, "TAKE COVER!" He called out as loud as he could, anyone who heard him, watched as he began to emit a dark blue aura of ice and magic, there were a few people who heeded his warning, like Cedric, Fleur, Dumbledore, Draco, a few other students, even one or two Deatheaters, and also Voldemort.

See you on the flip side, the voice joked.

Yeah… and thanks… I'll help you soon, Freya, he thought as he let the power within him free, as the aura compressed within him, he felt the binds around him break, and with an unearthly cry he let the power free, resulting in an explosion of ice and magic that shot out as a powerful wave, that began to freeze any and everything in its path.

WELL, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT :D
