"Renato! Keira! It's been a while," Leonello said as he opened the door, " Is this my nephew?" He looked to the little bundle held in Keira's arms and laughed as Renato glared at him.

"Yes, his name is Hadriano, would you like to hold him?" Keira asked as Leonello welcomed them into the house.

"Ah, probably not, with how much Ren's glaring at me I'd rather keep my arms." Leonello said, rubbing the back of his head with a grin.

Keira rolled her eyes and looked at Renato, "Go take the wine to your mum and stop glaring at everyone, they aren't going to hurt him." Renato looked like he wanted to argue but Keira just gave him a look and he walked away, sulking.

Leonello watched him walk away in awe, "If you and Ren weren't married I'd probably have to fight him for you." Keira laughed and held Hadriano out for him, "Here, hold him. You're family, you should get to hold your nephew."

Leonello still looked a bit hesitant but gently took Hadriano from her, "He's a lot heavier than he looked at first..."

"I know what you mean. He was a big baby, nine pounds." Keira said as she adjusted the baby bag on her shoulder. They headed towards the dining room where they could hear people talking. "It sounds like a lot of people are here."

"Siena brought her parents and brothers over and of course the brothers brought their wives and children along with them."

"Really? How many are here then?"

"Well, there's ten of them so total is seventeen. Mamma's going crazy trying to get everything done. Cecilia isn't a bad cook and neither is Siena but Elisa and Bianca are taking care of their kids and Annalisa isn't the best cook. She's got a strange ability to turn her cooking into poison and if she doesn't pay close attention she tends to poison everyone. While it's not as bad as it used to be, it's bad enough that most people get food poisoning." Leonello said, rolling his eyes."

"I should go and help her..." Keira muttered, thinking about what she could possibly do to help ease Valentina's workload.

"Oh, that'll go over swell." Leonello said sarcastically. "Ren's going to flip if you even mention getting close to the kitchen." Keira glanced at him with a raised brow and he smirked, "The dangers of a kitchen full of knives and open flames."

As if summoned, Renato was at Keira's side, "Amore, you should sit and rest. It's still too early for you to be walking around so much."

Keira's eyes glinted as she looked up at Renato and Leonello nearly cackled when he saw his fratello pale, "Fine, I'll sit and rest but only if you go and help your mum in the kitchen."

Renato glared at Leonello before looking back at Keira, "Fine."

Leonello quickly handed Hadriano back to Keira and ran out the back door. Soon enough they heard loud laughter from outside.

Renato rolled his eyes and lead Keira to the living room where an older gentleman sat. Renato nodded to him as Keira took a seat on the couch, "Leonello is never going to let me live that down."

"Wait until he marries then you can harass him too. Now go help your mum." Keira said, shooing Renato away.

The gentleman chuckled from where he sat, "You have him wrapped around your little finger, bella."

Keira laughed, "I'm afraid he has me wrapped around his as well."

"Ah, but isn't that marriage?" He asked, smiling.

"I suppose so," Keira agreed. She adjusted Hadriano and smiled as the baby giggled.

"What's the patatino's name?" The man asked, moving to sit next to her on the couch to see the baby better.

"His name is Hadriano. He's only a few weeks old."

"My, he's a big one. My son, Castello, he was a big one too. Was a good twelve pounds when he came out!"

Keira paled, "Hadriano was only nine, thank merlin."

The man laughed, "Yes, I imagine the thought isn't a good one, is it?" He paused for a moment, "Where are my manners. My name is Giovanni Pellegrino. I'm Siena's father. I don't think we have been properly introduced. I saw you only for a short while at the wedding and didn't manage to talk to you or your husband."

"I'm Keira Angelo and it's nice to finally meet you properly." Keira said, smiling, "Though I'm sure that if we had had the chance Renato wouldn't have let us talk for long. I was almost at nine months when the wedding finally happened."

"They did put it off for quite a while. I didn't think I'd live to see their marriage." Giovanni said, nodding his head in agreement, "I'm not quite sure what made them finally get on with it but I'm happy for it."

"Renato told me that they had been friends in school?"

"Yes, they were good friends in school. I'm sure most people saw it before they themselves did. They became friends in primary school when they were seven."

"So, it's been quite a while?"

"Oh yes indeed. We were surprised when they didn't announce their plan for engagement in secondary school. There were bets placed by many in the famiglia." Giovanni said, laughing.

Keira laughed, "I'm sure of it! We did the same when my brother finally got with Lily. In fact, I'm sure the only reason James decided to get a move on it was because our friends finally knocked some sense into him."

"Sometimes that is what it takes for them to realize just how invested they are with each other," Giovanni agreed.

They continued to chatter about various thing as the rest of the household tried to get things together, in a sense at least.

XXxxXXxx

Renato walked into the living room to get Keira when he heard laughter. While it wasn't unusual to hear Keira laughing, especially in this household, it was slightly concerning. Leonello and Keira had a... strange fascination with pranks that, while he didn't quite approve of, he couldn't prevent. Things tended to go best if he just left them to it and was none the wiser.

But for Giovanni, the head of the Pellegrino famiglia, to be laughing like that, that was strange.

They were sitting close and Keira was telling Giovanni a story about something she and Sirius had done at Hogwarts while said head of family was holding his son.

His small, defenseless son.

While he loved Keira dearly, she had too much trust with people at times.

He took a deep breath and stepped to her side, "Amore."

Keira paused in her story and looked up at him, "Renato! I was just telling Gio about Sirius getting us both sent to Dumbledore due to him letting a hoard of spiders into McGonagall's class – Is everything ok? You seem a bit off?"

"It's nothing, Amore. Come, mamma has dinner ready." Renato said, shifting his weight and looking down at Hadriano.

Keira rolled her eyes before smiling at Giovanni, "It appears my loving husband is missing our son. If you don't mind?"

Giovanni laughed as Renato turned to glare at Keira, "Of course!" He handed Hadriano over to Keira who transferred the baby to her husband's arms, "I was the same when Stefano was born, you just don't want anyone touching your first born. Once you get to the second born it's a bit easier, you can trust people a little more. Mainly because the people you trust are the people who were there for you with your firstborn."

They walked towards the dining table in silence.

"Keira!"

"Valentina, it's good to see you again," Keira said, leaning in for a hug.

Valentina smiled, "You look good! Has it only been three weeks? Why didn't you visit sooner?"

"Ask your son. He didn't even let me leave the house to get groceries for the first week and a half."

"You were supposed to be resting," Renato said, shifting his grip on Hadriano. "And not to mention you were weak the first week. You didn't start regaining your strength until the second week. You're lucky were out now. The doctor didn't give you the go-ahead for visiting."

"Renato, I love you but you take things too seriously. I'm sure the doctor is fine with me visiting family, or do you not have confidence in your skills? You have been taking care of me for weeks and using your flames to speed up the healing." Keira said, smiling sweetly.

"I wanted you to feel better, sue me." Renato said, "Besides, the sooner you feel better the sooner we can get back to having fantastic se - "

Keira covered his mouth, face beet red, "Don't say things like that in front of your family!"

Valentina chuckled and swiftly snatched Hadriano from Renato's arms. "After so many years, we're used to it. He and his brothers are terrible."

"Mamma!" The brother hollered before laughing.

XXxxXXxx

The evening had been wonderful for the first night out after having Hadriano. Everyone was excited to meet him and he had been so well behaved.

It really paved the way for the next family dinners.

Valentina had gone so far as to call Lily and invite the Potter side of the family.

And hadn't that been an experience? The entire family together again without the stiffness of a wedding.

Sadly, Sirius had decided to bring Firewhisky and helped get everyone drunk so Keira, Valentina, and Euphemia had been the only sober ones, aside from Hadriano and the kids of course.

It had been funny the first time, even the second time! Hell, the third time had been hilarious because she had never seen Renato drunk. At least not to that point. Luckily, everyone who would blackmail him were even drunker than he and still couldn't remember that night.

She had photos. Wizarding photos.

She liked to use them when he tried to get all overprotective on her.

It was fun.

But now it was late in the year, fall was on its way out, and Lily, for some reason, had decided she wanted to baby sit and that Renato and she should go out for a night on the town.

Normally, she would be excited and would instantly drop Hadriano off with them only to return two hours or so later with tears in her eyes, wanting her baby back.

Cut her some slack. Hadriano was only fifteen months old and had just said his first ten words.

Not that they made any sense, but she was excited none-the-less.

Even if he was growing up too fast.

XXxxXXxx

"Don't forget that he likes to watch Sesame Street at eight and that he gets his bath at eight thirty," Keira said, digging through the expanded diaper bag, a gift from her mother, to find Hadriano's blanket, "And he goes to bed at nine. He gets cranky if he's up past nine ten."

"Keira," Lily said, her eyes widening at the number of items coming out of the small bag, "I have baby sat him before. I'm sure he'll be fine with us. You and Renato go have fun!"

Keira bit her lip and looked back at where Renato was standing. He was leaning against the door frame with a smug grin on his face and he looked insanely sexy at that moment.

The Vongola Famiglia was having a Halloween ball and he was required to attend so he was dressed up; though she knew by this point that any chance he had to dress up he would and she had accepted it and loved it, she couldn't help but feel uneasy at the thought of leaving Hadriano alone this night.

She looked back at Lily who was babbling back at Hadriano, then to Renato again, "Okay, I suppose I might be over reacting a little..."

"A lot." Renato chimed in.

"A little," Keira said, turning to glare at Renato, "But I just want to make sure everything he could possibly need is here."

"Keira, if it isn't we can always get a house elf to get it from your home. Besides, this is the safest place he could be aside from the Potter Manor. It's under the fidelius and we have complete trust in our secret keeper. Go and have fun tonight."

"Amore, if it makes you feel any better, you can come back after two hours."

"Why two?"

"That's the required amount of time I am to spend on the floor in public, after that I have the mission of watching any persons that I saw to be potential problems."

"See Keira, even Renato is on our side. Go and have fun." Lily said, smiling.

Keira sighed, "Okay, but two hours only. When I get back I expect Hadriano to have had a bath and be in bed!"

"Of course!"

XXxxXXxx

Keira had worn a mask so no one would see her face and had a wig on her head along with contacts. Shamal had even given her something that concealed her sky flames.

It was the first time she had actually gone near anything remotely mafia related with Renato, at least in her current form. She had gone with him as Leon many times, mainly to meetings so that she knew what was going on and what to expect in the coming months. Since Hadriano had come though, she hadn't been able to attend as Leon as much.

The party had been fun but there was still a sense of unease in the back of her mind.

Seeing a few members of Vongola Nono's guardians walking towards them she looked up at Renato, "Did Nono tell them anything?"

"No, they know nothing. Nono is the only one who knows anything." Renato said.

"Should I introduce myself as your wife? I think it would be interesting..." Keira said, smiling.

Renato rolled his eyes, "Amore, you are asking for trouble."

The guardians stopped in front of Renato and Keira.

"Reborn, I didn't think you'd actually attend the party like this." Coyote Nougat said, grinning, "And who is this?"

"I'm Harmony, nice to meet you." Keira said, holding her hand out.

Coyote took her hand and kissed the back of it, "Harmony? That is a beautiful name for a beautiful woman."

Keira curtsied, "Thank you, sir."

"Call me Coyote. Do you mind if we take your date?" Coyote asked.

"Not at all," Keira said, "I must say that I need to be getting home anyway. It would be unfortunate if someone found that Reborn had spirited me away." She winked at Reborn and he smirked.

"It would truly be unfortunate if your father found out, wouldn't it?"

"Of course." She responded, curtsying and walking away from them. If Reborn noticed the urgency in her steps he said nothing to the others, though he did file it away. He would just have to hurry home himself.

XXxxXXxx

Keira hurried away from the mansion. The feeling had gotten worse in the past few moments. She had to get out of the Vongola territory before she could use the emergency portkey.

She had had the goblins make her a portkey. It was linked to Hadriano's magical signature, something that had surprised her and Renato when they found out. They had been sure that he was going to have flames.

As soon as she was past the gate she activated the portkey. It deposited her right outside the wards on the home and she rushed through.

The door was wide open and she could hear shouting coming from upstairs.

"Oh no," she whispered in fear, running towards the home. As soon as she was through the door though she tripped.

Catching herself on the side table she looked down to see James staring up at her with sightless eyes and gasped, stumbling back into the table with a hand over her mouth.

Another shout from upstairs snapped her out of it. She could grieve later, after she had saved her son.

She headed for the stairs and rushed up, her flames coming to the surface and propelling her upwards. She just made it to the door when she saw a flash of green light and Lily hitting the floor.

"No!" She shouted, shoving the dark figure out of the way to get to her fallen sister-in-law. "Lily, wake up. Please!" She couldn't bear to look at her face, already knowing what waited, but her grief was soon overcome by anger. Her head shot over towards the dark figure and she was only slightly surprised to see Volemort standing there. "Finally doing the dirty work yourself, huh?"

"You foolish girl! You'll pay for what you've done! No one shoves me!" He said, his high, hissing voice annoying her and fueling her anger.

She stood up and moved to protect her son who was now standing up in the crib, "You'll have to go through me if you want to get to him, Voldemort."

He laughed, "Foolish girl! You think you, a mere squib as you are now, can defeat me?" He pointed his wand at her and she stared defiantly at him, "You're stupider than I thought."

He flicked his wand and a brilliant green light shot out at her.

She glared at the light as it came towards her and her eyes changed. The once green iris turned orange and a flame lit on her forehead. Orange flames swirled and blocked the killing curse mere inches from her face, dissolving it in their intensity.

She was surprised that it actually worked, though she was now feeling exhausted. How her flames managed that she had no idea, but she was thankful.

Her form slumped and she could see blackness closing in on her vision, maybe she wasn't as unaffected as she had thought. She stumbled to the side and gripped the crib.

"Mamman!" Hadriano said, clapping his hands together, thinking it was all a game.

Voldemort turned his attention back to the baby, the cause of his initial anger, "First I'll finish off the child then you will die a most painful death." He pointed his wand at the smiling boy in the crib and Keira's vision blazed.

She threw all her flames that she could at Hadriano, hoping to protect him somehow. They wrapped around him and as the green spell hit him, it dissolved again.

Voldemort roared in anger and turned his wand to her, "You will not interrupt me again!" With a wave of his wand and a hissed word a vibrant purple light shot out and hit her.

She could feel her body contorting in a way she had never felt outside her animagus transformation and she screamed as the world around her grew.

In her current form there was no way she would be able to protect Hadriano. She could only watch as Voldemort pointed his wand at her son and sent the deadly green light at him.

Everything went black.

XXxxXXxx

Renato was talking with Nono and his guardians when he felt a surge of panic and fear coming from the mark he and Keira shared. It surprised him enough that he tightened his grip and cracked the glass that he was holding, causing the Vongola head and guardians to look at him in concern.

"Reborn, is everything alright?" Nono asked, watching as various emotions flashed across Reborn's face, the most prominent being concern.

"I - " Renato said, cutting himself off as a wave of grief followed by an intense feeling, one that he had never felt before washed over him. He needed to go to his sky. "I need to leave."

He tossed the glass aside and took off running, ignoring the yells that he created as he pushed through the crowd. He could hear Timoteo and the guardian's yelling but couldn't understand anything, the need to protect his sky was to great.

He made it outside the gates and disappeared, his portkey whisking him away to his sky.

So, this took quite a while to write and it may not read like that but I am no good with endings. This is the conclusion of Part One of this story and it may not have ended how you expected, it didn't end how I had expected it to end either. I had planned for this to be longer and more drawn out but I don't know if it was meant to be really.

I'm not going to lie and say that this wasn't rushed, because the ending was, possibly the last 1,000 words or so. I had in my mind how this was going to end and as soon as I figured out in my mind how it was going to end, I needed to type it up. There will be hints as to what happened after everything in part 3, which is a ways away. I'm planning for part 3 to be the longest part out of all of this, but with how I update everything it could be years away (Though I hope not)

Honestly, Part 1 was the most difficult for me to write. The characters in this feel more like OC's, and they are in all honesty. It's difficult to write up characters when you don't have much backstory to go off of and when you have to actually come up with the families that are appearing in this.

Keira's guardians and Renato's family will return in part 2, along with the Pellegrino Famiglia.

Part 2 will be the start of Hadriano's Hogwarts experience. It will follow a lot with the Harry Potter books and movies so I hope you all are willing to bear with me as this journey continues. Because, contrary to what some may have finally started to think, I really do plan on finishing this story. If it takes years more then I hope that you all with stick with me (and Keira, Renato, and Hadriano) til the end.

Thank you,
