Chapter Three

Chapter 3

10 Years Later, Creaturia, London, England

The Pack was finally ready to hit the stage. They had been playing through out Europe the last six years and were a big success. Lydia had gotten them into playing music when Cereus was about 14. She figured that it would help control their magic and their beasts. Lydia played drums, while Mark played the turntable. James played bass and was one of the back up singers. The two newbies that were adopted into the family, Michelle and Coralie, Michelle being a part-vampire and Coralie being the only normal one except for their mom. Michelle, played second guitar and did some vocals, while Coralie played keyboard or magicked some stringed instruments but was usually was behind the scenes. Cereus was the lead vocal and main guitar player.

“Everyone ready?” Lyd asked as they made sure that they were all in place. Soon everyone nodded and the curtain went up.

Cereus walked up to his microphone, bowing slightly to the tremendous applause, “Thank you, everyone, for coming out tonight. We always enjoy a large crowd.” This statement was met with more applause. Cereus looked out and over the crowd reading that there were about 25 wizards and witches in one group towards the back. He saw an old wizard with a long white beard, he knew as Albus Dumbledore for his chocolate card collection.

Cereus struck his cord and began singing:

I will forgive but I won’t forget
I hope you know you’ve lost my respect

You better watch out
If you don’t know what’s going on around you
You better think twice
Before you fly off the handle and lose it
You better join us
Before you get lost in the shuffle
You gotta rise against
The demons that are gonna try and hold you down

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love

The ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love

Cause I’m not a pawn
For you to play in your fucking game
I’ve got dignity
And a dream I want to achieve
Under pressure you crumbled and you let me down
I’m not deaf
And all I hear are your empty promises

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love

The ones you love
The ones you love
The ones you love

Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love
Does it run in your blood to betray the ones you love

Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love

I will forgive but I won’t forget
I hope you know you’ve lost my respect

Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
Yes it runs in your blood to betray the ones you love
(Papa Roach “Blood (Empty Promises)”)

The crowd went wild as they finished the song, going straight into another one. After two hours of non-stop playing, Cereus pouted slightly, “I’m afraid that this is to be our very last song, considering all the encores.” The cheers got a little louder before slowly dying down.
Speed kills coming down the mountain
Speed kills coming down the street
Speed kills with presence of mind and
Speed kills if you know what I mean
Got to feel - woke up inside again
Got to feel less broke more fixed
Got to feel when I got outside myself
Got to feel when I touched your lips
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something we can't take
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
How's it feel she's coming up roses
How's it feel she's coming up sweet
How's it feel when it's all in spite of you
How's it feel when she's out of your reach
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something in the way
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time - I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
What happened to you
(Bush “The People That We Love”)
The Pack all stood at the end of the stage and bowed. The crowd was going wild. Cereus exchanged a look with Lydia who nodded in understanding. They waited an extra hour while the club empty before going out to pack up their equipment.

Albus watched with some of the Order of the Phoenix members as the McCollum family packed up onstage. “Excuse, Miss. McCollum, I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time.”

Lydia looked up to acknowledge Dumbledore, “Sure, speak freely. I don’t keep anything from my family. They usually find out, one way or another, anyway.”

As Albus started to explain why he was there and what he wanted, Cereus caught the scent of something familiar. He gave the impression that he was walking a few guitars down and around the crowd of people as he sniffed out the culprit. He set the guitars down by the door and realized that the smell as coming from the man in black. Cereus realized that he remember the smell from when he was a baby. It clicked almost instantly, that this man was his other father.

He had discovered from when he was little that he had two fathers. Lydia explained that maybe the woman from his nightmares was a decoy and a friend to both of his fathers. Cereus shuddered at the thought of his nightmares. The sickeningly high-pitched laugh and the woman’s screams followed by the bright green light.

“You.” Cereus’ interruption caused everyone to look at him. Lydia knew something had been bothering him tonight and now she was going to find out what it was. Severus’ eyes widened as Cereus stalked toward him. Remus smelled the possessiveness coming from the other werewolf and jumped between Sev and the challenging wolf. Cereus growled as he smelled the scent that had been covering up his fathers, but realized that this was his father’s new mate. “Move. I only ask once.”

Severus watched in horror as Remus bared his teeth and growled angrily back. Cereus shrugged before waving his hand and sending Remus into the far wall, with a sickening thud.

Cereus continued to walk towards Severus, who was now standing still with fear. He kneeled at Severus’ feet and rubbed his head on Severus leg. He didn’t want his father to be afraid of him. Lydia watched in surprise, speaking slowly, she answered the question on everyone’s mind, “You’re his father.” Remus, who had been awakened and healed, was now standing almost fainted again at those words.

Severus looked down at the unruly black hair and slowly ran his hand through it. “Harry?” he asked softly. Cereus looked up at him with green-hazel-amber eyes and nodded. Severus fell to his knees and pulled Cereus to him. Cereus clung to his father as he cried. Albus looked shocked and walked over to the couple, placing a reassuring hand on their touching shoulders. Remus also moved over as did Sirius, embracing the kneeling father and son. Lydia and the rest smiled; Cereus finally had his family.

“You’re a werewolf?” Sirius asked as they broke apart.

Cereus nodded, “I was bitten when I was five. Lydia and Mark are the ones that found me. They are werewolves too.” Severus turned and smiled up at Lydia, “Thank you for helping him.”

Lydia smiled, “I couldn’t not help him. Something about him calls to other creatures. I’m his dominant, but around others he is the dominant.”

“Let’s take this to Hogwarts where we can hear the story from Cereus and let the family have it’s reunion,” Albus suggested to which everyone nodded and followed him to the alley way where they apparated to the front gates of Hogwarts.
