Transformations

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The day Bill and Harry were to leave for training, the sun broke through, dawning as one of the most beautiful summer day’s ever seen in England. It was the morning of July 30th, and after breakfast, Harry went upstairs to finish packing for his journey, followed a little later by Hermione, who entered his room and started helping her best friend, organizing his trunk as only she could.

“I’m really going to miss you, Harry. It just won’t be the same at Hogwarts without you.” Hermione said, tears filling her eyes.

“I’ll miss you, too. It won’t be too bad…I’m only going to be gone about four months, and the moment I get back, I’ll come see you.” Harry said.

Looking up worriedly at her best friend, she said, “Yeah, but to you it’ll be years…you’ll be a lot older when you get back. Will it be the same? I mean, you, our friendship…will we still be the same after you come back?”

“Mione, I can’t make promises, but if you’re worried that I won’t want you in my life anymore, you can stop that train of thought right now. You’ll always be My Mione….regardless of what happens.” Harry said, and as he finished, he hugged her tightly.

“I’m just so scared that everything is going to change…” she said against his chest.

“Everything will change, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing, does it?” said Harry, lifting her chin up to look in her eyes.

Seeing the sincerity in Harry’s eyes, she said, “Your right…I’m just being stupid.”

“You, Mione, are never stupid. You’re the smartest person I know…being scared doesn’t make you stupid, it makes you caring and thoughtful…and that’s what you are.” Harry said quietly, then bent down to place a kiss on her cheek, at the same time she went to kiss his, only to have their mouths find each other instead.

In that brief moment they both felt a tingle run through their bodies, so instead of pulling away, they deepened the kiss; Harry holding her tighter to him, Hermione clinging to his shirt as if to never let go. Wanting to experience more of her, Harry ran his tongue lightly over her bottom lip, which she responded to immediately by opening her mouth and when their tongues met, they both let out a small moan in pleasure. The kiss was passionate, fiery, yet tender all at the same time, as they took from each other their shared hopes and fears over what the future would hold for everyone, especially them.

Suddenly, they heard the door slam open against the wall, leaving what was sure to be a large dent. “BLOODY HELL, HERMIONE! Why the fuck are you kissing HIM!?” yelled Ron as he and Ginny walked in on the passionate scene.

Breaking apart from their kiss, but not the embrace, Hermione said, “Because I wanted to, Ron…because we both wanted to. You could’ve had the decency to knock before barging into Harry’s room, like a normal person would.”

“You were kissing that evil scum bag willingly? What…going to be his whore now, too?” sneered Ron.

As Hermione gasped at Ron’s comment, Harry pulled her more to his side, away from Ron and growled, “Watch yourself, Ron. Don’t take your anger at me out on Mione. What we do in the privacy of MY room, is none of your business. Now, GET OUT!”

“Fuck you, Potter! You think you can take me…BRING IT ON!” roared Ron.

“I know I can! You may be big, but you’re as dumb as a stump, and that’s all the advantage I need!” Harry sneered back at Ron, now pushing Hermione completely out of the way.

“Ginny said you guys were fighting! What’s going on in here!?” yelled Bill as he entered the room, Sirius right behind.

When no one responded quickly enough, with Harry and Ron still locked in a vicious glaring contest, Sirius said, “Harry, an explanation if you please.”

“Ron barged in here, uninvited I might add, and proceeded to take his attitude problem, which should be directed at me, out on Hermione….I was just about to point out to him the finer details of a good ass kicking!” said Harry in the coldest tone any had ever heard, never releasing Ron from his very Snape like glare.

“And you guys don’t think he’s going evil?” said Ron incredulously, “I’ve been trying to tell you, but would anyone listen to me….Noooo!”

“Merlin!” yelled Harry, throwing his arms up in frustration. Looking Ron in the eye, he continued, “Could you possibly be a bigger ass hole! As usual, your jealousy is rearing its ugly head…I kissed Mione, so that gives you just cause to call her a whore? What in the world has Mione done to deserve that?”

Bill whirled around, taking Ron’s shirt into a firm grip, bringing his youngest brother nose to nose and menacingly said, “You called Hermione a WHORE because she kissed Harry? I’ll tell you right now, whatever’s up your ass better figure a way out before my foot goes up there to get it. For two days now, I’ve sat back and watched Harry and Hermione endure your nasty looks and insults, not even fighting back, instead, taking the high road…they’re certainly better friends to you than you are to them. It’s time for you to GROW UP, you little SHIT!”

“Get off me!” Ron said, using all his strength to push Bill away. “Anyone who hangs out with a Dark Lord is a whore in my book…and it’s so like you Potter….can’t handle your own fight, so called in the reinforcements.”

Harry shook his head mockingly and said, “Just as I thought…dumb as a stump,” but never got any further, as Hermione had had enough. Faster than most thought possible, she was around Harry in an instant, fist making contact with Ron’s nose immediately followed by her foot making contact with his groin.

As Ron fell to the floor, howling in pain as Hermione said, “How’s that for reinforcements, not that Harry needed any! It’s always the same with you, isn’t it? When times are hard, you turn your back on the people who always stand by you…WELL NO MORE! You stay away from me…GOT IT!?”

Ginny, snapping out of her shock started to charge at Hermione while yelling, “YOU BITCH! How dare you hit Ron!”

Seeing what was happening Harry blocked her advance by stepping into Ginny’s path, causing her to ram into his chest, knocking her balance off kilter where she fell to the floor next to Ron. Looking down at Ginny he said, “I don’t think so, Ginny. She had every right to do what she did considering what your brother caller her.”

Looking up to Bill, Ginny cried out, “You’re going to just stand there and let him do this to your family?”

“Absolutely. You and Ron deserve everything you just got.” stated Bill in a matter of fact way.

“I agree.” said Arthur Weasley, who’s entrance had gone unnoticed by all in the room. “Now…I would like an explanation as to how this all started.”

“Dad, go get Mum, then I’ll explain everything.” said Bill.

A few minutes later, Molly joined the group, and after seeing her son’s state, went over to Ron and began fussing over him. When she was sure that he’d be okay, she turned to Bill and sternly asked, “What’s this all about, Bill?”

“Before I begin, I need you, Mum, Dad, and Ginny, to give me another oath of secrecy.” said Bill, and after receiving it, he said, “You know that I’ve been chosen to be the Light Lord, but what I didn’t tell you the other day was that Harry has been chosen to be the Dark Lord.”

Hearing his mother gasp, covering her mouth as the tears began falling down her face, Bill continued on, “Two day’s ago, Harry told Remus, Ron, and Hermione about it, and since then, Ron has been running his mouth about Harry being evil…you all know Harry well enough to know this isn’t true. Like I said during the family meeting, the Dark Lord and the Light Lord are equals in their rule, as magic herself has decreed, neither one of us being any better than the other. What happened today is the culmination of Ron’s jealousy and hot temper. Apparently, he and Ginny barged in here, witnessing Harry and Hermione kissing, and I guess neither of my siblings much liked that…Ron even had the audacity to call Hermione a whore because of it.”

“YOU DID WHAT?!” Molly yelled, letting out her famous temper.

Arthur, after hearing what his son called the young woman he considered a second daughter, turned to Ron and asked, “Is this true, Ron?”

“Dad…Hermione was kissing a Dark Lord! We all know that Dark Lords are evil!” said Ron, who was becoming more and more nervous at the look of fury coming over his father’s face.

“I’ve never been more ashamed of anyone as I am of you, Ron…or you Ginny! How could either of you act like this!?” Molly cried out, disappointment written all over her face.

Before Arthur could say anything further, Ginny spoke up, “Don’t you dare blame Ron, he’s the one who’s right…you should be mad at Harry, he attacked me and knocked me to the ground!”

“Mr. & Mrs. Weasley, I didn’t attack Ginny. What I did do, was to step in front of her as she charged at Mione in retaliation for hitting Ron, which caused her to fall to the ground. Bill and Sirius were both here, and can vouch that I never laid a hand on either of your children.” Harry said calmly, unwilling to be accused of doing anything wrong.

“I know, Harry. I was already in here at that point. Ron, Ginny…like your Mother, I am heartily ashamed and very disappointed in both of you. You were both raised to treat people better than this, especially when those people are friends!” said Arthur, voice rising in intensity as he went on.

“But, Dad…” Ron started only to be cut off by his father yelling, “SHUT UP! I’ll not stand for your bigotry any longer, do you understand me!?”

“Yes, sir.” finished Ron, knowing he’d pushed his usually mild mannered father too far.

Arthur gave his youngest son one last stern look then said, “Harry, Hermione…I’m sorry that you’ve had to endure all this. We don’t approve of their behavior, and will be doling out a firm punishment when we leave. I hope you don’t think the rest of us are like these two…you know Molly and I think of you both as extended family members?”

Harry and Hermione both gave reassurance that they didn’t hold any ill will towards them or Bill, Charlie and the twins, with Hermione finishing, “Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Weasley. It means a lot to Harry and me that you’re so understanding.”

“I’m just sorry that my son and daughter can’t act as responsibly as you two. Ron, Ginny, let’s go…you’ve got some serious explaining to do. Harry and Bill, we’ll see you in a little bit to say goodbye before you leave.” said Molly, grabbing Ron by his ear, dragging him from the room. Arthur glared at his daughter, who quietly left to his silent order.

“We’ll see you both shortly.” finished Arthur, leaving just behind Ginny. Sirius left a moment later, with Bill saying, “Harry, I need your invisibility cloak to get Lucius in here. I’m leaving in about five minutes to go and get him, so plan on leaving in about half an hour.”

Harry handed over the cloak telling Bill he’d be ready, and then Bill left. Turning back to Hermione, while taking her hand in his, he smiled gently at her and said, “I’m not sorry about what happened, only sorry that we were interrupted.”

“Me too, Harry.” Hermione whispered back in response. Harry leaned in once again and captured her lips, only this time they weren’t barged in on. This kiss was tender to start, but quickly became more heated. They kissed for several long minutes before breaking apart to finish Harry’s packing. When they were done, Harry led Hermione by hand to Sirius’s room, where everyone was meeting. Harry was extremely grateful that this summer had been fairly quiet in regards to Voldemort and his minions, meaning he didn’t have many opportunities to run into Snape or Dumbledore at headquarters.

When everyone was in Sirius’s bedroom, Bill let Lucius know it was safe to come out, once he’d put up the wards to keep unwanted ears and bodies out. Harry left Hermione with the Weasleys, which now included Charlie, who like Sirius, had been privy to all the details early on, being Bill’s confidant, and made his way over to say goodbye, first to Remus, then Sirius. After giving his godfather a hug, Harry could see a gleam in Sirius’s eyes, and knew without a doubt that the man was up to something, but left it alone. He’d find out soon enough, of that he was very sure.

Harry rejoined the Weasley’s a few minutes later, and was immediately engulfed in one of Molly’s famous hugs as she tearily said, “Harry, dear, I want you to promise me that you’ll be careful…I worry about you, you know. Remember that we love you like one of our own.”

Harry smiled to himself and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Weasley. I promise to be careful…and I love you, too.”

With all the goodbye’s out of the way, Hermione and Harry having shared one last tender kiss, Lucius pulled out the orb that would be taking them to Hecate and said, “Bill, Harry, you know how this works…when you’re ready.” Giving one last look to Hermione then Sirius, Harry touched the orb along with Bill, and the three vanished from Grimmauld Place.

“Hello, gentlemen. Are you ready for the next phase of this journey?” said Hecate.

Harry and Bill responded affirmatively, then Hecate opened a portal to her left and said, “Then if you’re ready, please go through the opening.”

Stepping into the portal, leaving the vast nothingness behind them, Harry, Lucius, and Bill gasped at the beauty that now lay before them. The sky was the brightest, clearest blue either had ever seen before and all around them were lush, grassy fields covering the rolling hills. Off in the far distance there was a large mountain range and scattered here and there were a lake and several small ponds. Where they were standing, directly behind them was a babbling brook that crept into a thick forest that wrapped around the area, meeting the mountains in the distance.

Noticing the awed expressions, Hecate smiled and said, “It is beautiful, isn’t it. Wait till you see where you’ll be living for the next several years.” As she lead the way, pointing in the general direction in which they were headed she continued, “The castle lies just beyond that small hill over there.”

It took about 10 minutes to crest the hill, but when they did, again, they all gasped at the magnificent castle that gleamed in the sunlight. The lower floors were done in the blackest granite with the upper floors being white. Several gardens graced the landscape, each containing trees, shrubs and flowers of every variety, with many of them housing large fountains that poured forth into sparkling reception pools.

From what they could tell by the front facade, the castle appeared to have seven floors and each level contained 25 large windows that had to be at least 5’ wide by 15’ tall. The tour continued around the side of the building, granting a view of the wonderful Quidditch pitch and the first of four large pools. Continuing their walk around, they were shown the other three pools, all of them being connected by a long, lazy river that went under several bridges and through many tunnel caves weaving in and out of the rolling hills. What made them even more spectacular, were the vine covered aqueducts that flowed over head, pouring out onto large water falls that cascaded into the pools.

Finally entering the castle, they were greeted with rich mahogany floors that were covered by beautiful area rugs scattered around depicting scenes from the surrounding landscape. The ceilings towered 20’ overhead and were all painted in murals representing every magical being ever known to exist.

On the first floor, one each on opposite sides of the grand entry hall, were two formal and informal living rooms, two dining rooms and towards the middle, more to the left, was a shared informal dining room that overlooked the back gardens and to the right, was the entrance to the massive circular library that towered all seven floors.

The second and third floors were the education levels, with the second containing classrooms, the ritual room, and a hospital wing and the third housing an indoor gymnasium, which took up the entire level. It had an indoor running track, weight room, four dueling areas, weaponry area, practice dummies, and martial arts area. They were left with little doubt that their training was being taken very seriously.

The upper four levels were the living quarters, with the fourth floor being left exclusively for guests. The Fifth through seventh floors contained four massive suites, two being on the interior, with the other two outermost suites housing a three story glass octagon conservatory. The conservatory was home to a mammoth size indoor tree, along with many lush plants that surrounded a large indoor pool with Jacuzzi. Harry and Bill were both given the conservatory suites, with Lucius having an interior one, closest to Harry’s.

After parting from Hecate and his other two companions, Harry entered his suite through massive wood double doors and began exploring his rooms. On the main level, there was a large living room that was open to an equally large dining room and behind that, a good size kitchen that was completely stocked and a moderate sized guest bathroom. The décor was kept very neutral, done primarily in soft beiges and rich browns, accented by lush forest greens. Tapestries, artwork, dark, rich woods, leather and suede were all used to create a warm and welcoming environment.

The middle floor to his suite was designed with relaxation in mind. It held a movie theatre, with seating for 30 people, and a large game room that had everything from video games to a pool table, muggle board games to wizard’s chess. There were also two private guests rooms each containing its own bath.

The uppermost floor was Harry’s master suite. When he walked in, in the middle of the massive room, was the biggest bed he’d ever seen, easily twice the size of a king size. Chuckling to himself, he thought, “Why in the world would anyone need a bed that big…unless…” Shaking off that amusing thought, he walked to the right side of the room and opened french doors which led to the master bath. The tub was made to look like a pond, complete with cascading waterfall, navy tiles making the water appear a very dark blue, and several lush plants. There was a large black marble shower that could easily hold four people and a black marble double vanity. The room was decorated primarily in black and varying shades of darker blues, leaving you with a feeling of being under a dark, fathomless ocean.

Taking one last look around the bath, Harry left and went to the other side of the room, walking through a sitting area, to another set of double doors. When he opened the doors, he was lead into a private study/library, done in dark rich mahogany wood paneling, with equally appointed furniture and several overflowing book shelves. Returning to the main area of the master suite, Harry was glad to see that his bedroom and sitting area were done in the same colorings as the downstairs living room, the only difference being the splashes of burgundy red here and there. All in all, Harry couldn’t be happier with his accommodations, never having enjoyed such splendor in his life.

Harry spent the afternoon unpacking his belongings first, then headed down to try out a few of the video games. Deciding that the night would be hectic enough, he made himself a light meal and ate out in the conservatory. Around 9pm, a servant entered his suite, informing Harry that it was time to start preparing for the transformation ritual.

Leading Harry into his master bath, Aeroth, the dark elf servant, filled the tub, pouring several oils and herbs into it, then climbed in, after informing Harry that it was a requirement of the purification bath that he wash the future Dark Lord. Feeling a blush makes its way to over his entire body, Harry stripped quickly and practically jumped in the water, trying everything he could to hide from this stranger.

“Once transformed, My Lord, you will no longer be bothered by other’s looking upon you. Dark Elves are naturally attracted to beauty and we enjoy the pleasures of the body often.” said Aeroth.

“Yeah, so I’ve read…but for now, having been raised by muggles, I still have a very conservative view on these sorts of things. Now that I’m in the bath, what do I need to do?” asked a still red Harry.

“You only need relax, sire, for I will do all that is required.” finished Aeroth, who proceeded to clean Harry thoroughly, much to Harry’s embarrassment. When the bath was complete, Aeroth dried his Lord off, and lead him naked into the master bedroom, where he draped a gauze robe over Harry‘s shoulders, looking very similar to Hecate’s, and tied it around his waist. Noticing the time was 11pm, Aeroth lead Harry down to the formal living room.

“Aeroth, you do realize this garment is completely see-through, right? I mean, unlike Hecate, I don’t have the long hair to hide all my bits.” Harry said, blush back at full force.

“Do not worry so. It is the way things must be done. I expect your escort to arrive momentarily.” said Aeroth. Sure enough, about two minutes later, a hooded figure walked into the room and made his way over to Harry. Pulling back his hood, Harry was shocked when he realized it was Sirius standing before him.

Giving his godfather a huge hug, Harry asked, “What are you doing here?”

“What...not happy to see me?” chuckled Sirius. “I’m your escort, the person representing your human family. Lucius brought me an orb from Hecate, shortly after you and Bill accepted the positions, asking if I’d do this for you, and of course I said I would. Plus, I get the added bonus of staying here until you leave.” Sirius said, the smile on his face reaching ear to ear.

“That’s GREAT! You won’t have to worry about the Ministry or anyone else finding you. I can’t believe you’re here…this is so cool.” said an excited Harry.

“My Lord, we must be on our way.” said Aeroth.

The three headed down to the second floor where Aeroth left them to meet up with Bill, Charlie, and Lucius. As they stood, awaiting the time they would enter the ritual room, it was apparent to everyone that Bill and Harry were becoming increasingly nervous. Neither of them knew what to expect, and that was what terrified both Harry and Bill more than anything else…the unknown.

At 11:30pm, the doors to the ritual room opened up. Lucius, being Magic’s Governor led them into the room, stopping at its center, followed by Harry and Sirius then Bill and Charlie. When they stopped, Hecate entered through a different door followed by five other individuals.

“Welcome, everyone, to the Transformation Rite. Harry James Potter, William Arthur Weasley, I’d like you both to meet Hans Reich, the leader of the Werewolf Clans; Dominique Bordeaux, the Veela High Priestess; Alucard Constantine, Ancient Draconian Vampire; Dínendal Elensar, High Elf Elder; and Gildor Culnámo, Dark Elf Elder. Gentlemen and Lady, the others among us are Magic’s Governor, Lucius Malfoy, Harry Potter’s family representative, Sirius Black, and William Weasley’s family representative, Charles Weasley.” Hecate introduced.

When it was almost midnight, she said, “Sirius and Charles, please escort your family member to the ceremonial area and disrobe them, assisting them to their altar with Harry to my left and William to my right.” Hecate said, pointing at the two identical marble altars with the exception that one was black, the other white.

Moving over to the ceremonial area, Sirius untied the tie around Harry’s waist, and reached up to remove the garment from Harry’s shoulders, letting the robe pool onto the floor. Once they were naked and lying on the marble, Hecate moved in between the altars and said, “Dínendal Elensar, High Elf Elder please stand to the right of William. Gildor Culnámo, Dark Elf Elder, please stand to the left of Harry.”

With everyone in position, Hecate placed a hand on Harry and Bill’s penis’s then in English first, followed by Latin, she said the first of many incantations, “Essence of manhood, expel all they life, never bearing human mortality within your line. Substantia qua virilities, expello cunctus tuus aetus, nunquam partus humanis mortalis intus vester agnates.” When she removed her hands, all the sperm within Harry and Bill spewed forth as the longest, most powerful orgasm’s ripped through them, emptying them of all their mortal seed.

By the time this part was complete, both were breathing very hard, almost passing out from the force they had experienced. The two Elder Elves picked up a ceremonial dagger each, then reaching over the bodies of both Harry and Bill, sliced the wrist closest to Hecate as she placed a hand over each heart, then said, “By order of Hecate, I command your death, bleeding from your veins human mortality. Mandata Hecate, ego iussu vester noctic crudus de’prep vester venus humanis mortalis.”

As Harry and Bill drew in their last human breath, once again, using the ceremonial daggers, the Elder Elves slit their own wrists, placing the cuts in perfect alignment with the cuts on Harry and Bill. Placing one hand each over the joined wrists, Hecate said, “Draw in, imbue by blood, when born anew, all essence and characteristics of thy chosen race. Tractum, infecio qua sanguis, cum natus denuo, cunctus natura atque moratus tuus electus genus.”

Removing her hands from the joined wrists, Hecate raised them above her head, sweeping them open, and as she lowered them, a brilliant white light formed between, creating an arch of pure magic going from palm to palm. Just before she touched their foreheads, she commands, “Begin transformation. Incepto metamorphosis.” then when she made contact, all three disappeared behind an absolute whiteout of power.

Within a minute, all those outside heard screaming, the kind of screaming which only comes from immeasurable pain, then suddenly, the Ancient Vampire was drawn into the whiteout. After five minutes, there was silence, but the whiteout continued.

“What the hell is going on?” asked a worried Sirius. He was sure it was Harry they’d all heard screaming.

“I do not know,” said Gildor Culnámo, “but I have been told the process can be quiet painful, but not so much as to cause the likes of what we witnessed.”

It was over an hour later that the mass amount of power began to recede, and as the light finally died down, all could see that Harry was passed out on the altar. Bill was standing to the right of Hecate, with Alucard Constantine on her left, the three watching over the youngest among them.

Hecate could see the worried expressions of those in the room, especially Sirius and Charlie’s, and so tried to explain, “I am sorry to have left you so long without an explanation, but it was unavoidable. Let me assure you that Harry is fine, but it will be a while longer before he awakes. When I took William and Harry into the power shield, their transformations began. All started well when suddenly, Harry began clawing at his throat and convulsing while screaming out in obvious pain. I quickly did a scan on him to see what was happening, and once I knew, I called Alucard into the shield.”

Taking a pause, surveying those present to see if everyone was following her explanation, she continued, “What the scan revealed was a recessive vampire gene from Harry’s father’s side, that when it encountered the new genetic make-up of the dark elf, it reacted violently. This gene has probably lain dormant for several centuries, only triggering with this transformation ritual. What Alucard did, was to take some of Harry’s new blood into himself, then had Harry drink from him, essentially turning him. Now, I do not want you all to panic. Harry will still be a dark elf, as that is what dominates his genetic make-up, but he will also have some vampire qualities. What those traits are, I will not know until he awakens, then we should be able to find out.”

“So you’re saying Harry will be a cross between an Elder Dark Elf and an Ancient Draconian vampire? When will he wake up?” asked Sirius, tears pouring down his face with the thought of his godson having to deal with any more than he already was.

Hecate walked over to Sirius, and said, “I sense you heartache, but Harry will be able to cope with this. He is emotionally stronger than most give him credit for. You are correct in saying he will be a cross-breed, but he will be more elf than vampire. I suspect Harry will wake in about fifteen minutes or so.”

Charlie asked, “Why do we have to wait to find out his abilities?”

Hecate answered, “Charles, I have to wait for Harry to awaken before I will know what vampire traits he will have for one simple reason…he is still in the transformation process. If all had gone accordingly, when the power shield was lowered, both Harry and Bill would have been in this state. As it were, Bill awoke about 10 minutes before the shield was removed. I left the shield up longer than normal because I wanted to be sure Harry’s transformation held no other surprises.”

With most of the questions answered, the group turned their attention to the changes Bill had gone through. Bill very much resembled Dínendal Elensar, the Elder who bestowed upon him the High Elven gifts, standing taller at 6’ 4”, compared to his previous 6’1”, and his stature had been greatly altered. Bill now stood with authority, radiating an unearthly power making his leaner physique all the more impressive. His hair was no longer red, but a dark blond that now hung straight, flowing down to his waist. When Bill moved, there was a grace that was lacking prior to the change, and the overall effect was stunning.

As Charlie gave his brother a robe to put on, he said, “You know, Bill? You were never bad looking before, but now….DAMN!”

“Thank you, Charlie…I think.” said Bill, both chuckling at Charlie’s awe inspired statement. What was amazing was how rich sounding Bill’s voice was, having lowered a little more, having almost a melodic quality. Charlie could only shake his head while several of the other’s came over to offer their congratulations on a well done transformation.

About 20 minutes later, Harry groaned out, still feeling some pain from the entire process and in a flash, Sirius and Hecate were by his side. Placing her hands aside Harry’s temples, she poured magic into him to ease the pain of a double transformation, and both knew it was working when Harry let out a relieved sigh, then opened his eyes for the first time.

Sirius gasped at the sheer power radiating from the green orbs, but smiled gently at his godson when Harry let his concern over Sirius’s reaction show. Helping Harry sit up, then stand, the people present couldn’t get over the changes that Harry had undergone or the fact that he didn’t resemble the dark elf Elder as much as Bill did his.

Like Gildor, Harry was very tall, no longer the short 5’ 8” kid from before, now standing at 6’ 5”, with well defined muscles that were lean, not bulky, but that is where the similarities ceased. Gildor’s hair was pure silver and was amazingly straight, with very dark skin that reflected why they were called dark elves. Harry’s hair was still black, but now had dark silver streaks running through the silky, wavy mass that hung down to his mid back and his skin, while looking extremely tanned, was nowhere near as dark as the Elder’s.

Gildor’s eyes were a violet color with Harry’s still being very green, only a shade lighter, and when Harry yawned, all caught a glimpse of the slightly longer canines that now rested in his mouth. To say that Harry was gorgeous, would not have done him justice, he was truly the epitome of what a man should be. As Sirius surveyed his godson, he let out an exclamation when he noticed Harry’s manhood also went under an enormous change…enormous being the operative word.

Taking in where Sirius’s eyes now rested, Harry looked down and when his eyes took in the site, he breathed out, “Merlin Bless Me.”

Laughing at his wording, Sirius said, “I think he already did. Damn, Harry…you look amazing, and your voice…it’s so deep now. But, all kidding aside, how do you feel?”

“I feel pretty good actually, but I have an odd feeling in my stomach…kind of like a hunger pain.” answered Harry.

“Harry, do you remember anything about what happened?” Hecate asked.

“Not really, but I have a feeling, once again, that I did something abnormal.” Harry said with a sigh, putting on the robe that Sirius handed to him.

“Yes, something unusual occurred, but it is not a bad thing. Let me explain…” Hecate said, and a few minutes later, she finished explaining everything that had happened during the transformation.

Looking serious, Harry said, “Okay, so I’m a cross-breed. You said that you could tell what traits I picked up from Alucard after I awoke, so let’s do that before I say anything further.”

Doing another scan, Hecate said, “It looks like the traits you received from Alucard include the vast physical strength, enhanced senses, mind reading abilities, regeneration properties, and obviously your hair and skin color have been affected. You will be able to move about in the sun, as all Draconian Vampires, also known as Daywalkers can. The pain in your stomach is probably because you’re feeling the need to feed, which you will have to do about once every two weeks in order to keep your vampiric abilities strong and settled. Tomorrow, Alucard can show you how to do this, and you will feed then. As far as the elf traits, except for the coloring, you received all that we had hoped, including the possibility of fathering a child. Like I said before, you are a dark elf, Harry, with a few vampire traits.”

“That’s better than I thought.” said Harry, giving a stern nod. “I mean no offense Alucard, but I really wanted the chance to father a child. I know that it will be difficult being a dark elf, but it was impossible being a vampire.” finished Harry.

“None taken, My Lord. Hecate, you have yet to name our new Lords.” said Alucard.

“You are correct, Alucard.” said Hecate.

Calling Bill over to her, she said, “Kneel William,” then placing a hand on his head she continued, “As Goddess of Magic, I Hecate, name you Galdor Anwarünya, Lord of the Light. From this day forward you will cease to be William Arthur Weasley, So Mote It Be!”

Then motioning Harry over who kneeled without asking, Hecate placed a hand upon his head and said, “As Goddess of Magic, I Hecate, name you Camthalion Tinehtelë, Lord of the Dark. From this day forward you will cease to be Harry James Potter, So Mote It Be!”

Deciding to call it a night, considering it was almost 3am by this point, Hecate said, “Camthalion, Galdor, rest tomorrow, but be ready the next day to begin your training. Gildor, Dínendal, and Alucard, rooms will be appointed to you for the duration of your stay here while you train the two Lords. Goodnight, everyone.”
