Ch 1: Adoption

Five year-old Harry cried out. He had a bad dream. He wanted his mummy and daddy, but no one came. He sniffed. They were probably caring for his twin brother Austin. They had forgotten him. Harry stood up and walked down stairs to the manor kitchen. He grabbed a small snack and went outdoors. He walked to a small forest at the edge of the property and sat down in a small clearing. He sat and ate the food. Suddenly there was a snap of a twig. There was someone approaching. Harry looked up and grinned at the figure that had appeared. He got up and rushed to the woman. He then proceeded to hug her. "Hi! I missed you mum!"

Tayla smiled sadly. Harry had begun to call her 'mum'. "Hello, Harry. How are you doing?"

"I'm ok." He then sniffed. "But today's my birthday, and Lily and James have forgotten."

Harry sobbed. Tayla pulled him into a hug. "Shh. It's alright little one. Besides, I know how to make it up to you."

"How?"

"How would you like to really be my son? I would like to magically adopt you, Harry."

Harry grinned. "Really?"

"Yes, little one."

Harry jumped up and down in joy. "Who will be my new daddy?"

Tayla smiled. A new voice spoke up. "I will."

Harry frowned. "Who are you?"

Tayla laughed. "This is Damien, Harry. He is my mate."

Harry grinned and then looked at him shyly. "I would like it very much if you were to be my new daddy."

Damien smiled gently. "I would be honored. You ready?"

Harry nodded. Tayla smiled. "Good, but I must warn you, it will be painful."

Harry nodded. Damien and Tayla both took out daggers. They both slashed their palms and clasped each other's hand over Harry's head. They then started chanting. The blood on their hands turned silver and a drop fell on Harry's head. They continued to chant. The silvery substance grew and spread to cover Harry's entire body. It then seeped into his skin. Damien and Tayla stopped chanting. Harry fell into Damien's arms and started screaming. He started changing. Gradually it stopped and Harry opened his eyes. His silver eyes stared up at Damien and Tayla. Damien smiled down at him. "Since Tayla and I are both half-demons, so are you."

Harry grinned. He held out his hands and inspected them. They were almost the same except that his nails were now long and sharp. He reached up and touched his ears. They were now white, fur covered, and sitting on the top of his head. He grinned, showing off a pair of fangs. Tayla smiled and stroked Harry's black hair. It held silver streaks. "Now for the issue of your name. Our last name is Darknight. You first name shall be Ridire."

Damien then spoke up. "Your middle name shall be Sirius."

Harry grinned. "I like it! Uncle Padfoot's name is Sirius, too!"

Tayla and Damien smiled. Tayla bent down and picked him up.

Tayla and Damien smiled. Tayla bent down and picked him up. She then hugged him. "My little Ridire Sirius Darknight."

She then became serious. "You will need to be trained. You have some new powers and I want to teach you the use of weapons and hand-to-hand combat. Now, it is getting late. I'm sorry, but you need to stay with the Potter's still. Otherwise, your Uncle Sirius might become suspicious because you disappeared. We will visit and see you everyday ok?"

Ridire nodded.

"Good. I need to put a spell on you, so no one gets suspicious. Come back here tomorrow and we can start your training. Alright?"

Ridire nodded.

"Good. Now hold still Ridire."

Ridire stood still and Tayla spoke a word. Ridire immediately changed back into 'Harry'. He hugged his parents and left back towards the manor. (A/n: I will call him Harry when he has the cloak on. I will call him Ridire when he doesn't have it on.)

(Five years later)

Harry woke up and threw on some clothes. He hurried downstairs and quickly ate breakfast. He sped out the door, running straight into his Uncle Moony. They both tumbled to the ground. Padfoot started laughing. "Where are you to in such a hurry, cub?"

Harry shook his head. He stood up. "Sorry. I didn't see you Moony."

"Its alright, cub."

Moony stood up and brushed off his robes. Harry grinned at Padfoot and Moony. "Hi!"

He then frowned. He then turned and ran to the forest. Padfoot and Moony exchanged looks and followed Harry. Harry entered the clearing with Padfoot and Moony right behind him. Tayla and Damien were both there. They had both hidden their ears, fangs, and claws. Harry ran up to them. He hugged them. Tayla looked at her son.

"You're late young one."

Harry blushed. He looked behind him. "I ran into Padfoot and Moony."

Moony muttered. "Literally."

Tayla looked at the two men. "So these are the famous Padfoot and Moony I've heard so much about. I want to thank you for looking after Harry when Lily and James wouldn't."

Damien nodded in agreement. Padfoot frowned. "Who are you?"

Damien laughed. "Forgive us for not introducing ourselves. I am Damien Darknight. This is my mate Tayla."

Moony started slightly. "Mate!"

Tayla laughed. "Yes. Damien and I are half-blooded dog demons."

"You don't look like it."

Damien and Tayla laughed. They then both dropped their glamours. Padfoot and Moony both gaped. Harry whispered into Tayla's ear. She looked thoughtful and then nodded.

"Yes, I think it is alright. You agree Damien?"

"On what?"

"Telling Moony and Padfoot."

"Harry wants to?"

Tayla nodded. Damien turned to the confused Padfoot and Moony. "As you know, the Potter's neglected Harry."

Padfoot and Moony both nodded. Tayla spoke. "Well, Harry used to come here and cry. One day I found him and comforted him. We became friends. On his 5th birthday he got no presents. Now, before I continue I want to tell you that because of medical reasons I cannot have children. I felt pity for Harry and asked him to be Damien's and my son. He accepted and we performed a magical adoption ritual. He is now our son."

Padfoot and Moony both blinked but then smiled. "What is your new name Harry?"

Harry laughed. "I am now Ridire Sirius Darknight!"

He then turned to his mother. "Can you please take off the mum?"

Tayla waved her hand and Harry's appearance melted back into that of Ridire. Ridire grinned at his two 'uncles'. A gleam suddenly entered his eye. Both Padfoot and Moony eyed him cautiously. Ridire backed into the trees and disappeared. Moony and Padfoot looked around nervously. Damien and Tayla watched with smirks on their faces. Ridire suddenly pounced on Padfoot and Moony, knocking them to the ground. Damien and Tayla burst into laughter at the two men. Ridire smirked down at the two. The men in return scowled up at Ridire. He stood up. "Sorry Uncle Padfoot and Uncle Moony. I couldn't resist."

Tayla continued to laugh for a moment before settling down. "Come young one. We must continue your training."

Ridire nodded. Damien turned to Padfoot and Moony. "You may watch, but please stand off to the side."

Padfoot and Moony retreated to the sidelines. Ridire fell into a defensive stance and warily watched his parents. There would be no warning of what they would do first. Damien lunged at Ridire, pulling a sword out of the air. Ridire also called his sword and quickly parried the blow. Tayla summoned her sword and also leapt into the fight. Ridire continued to fight his parents. He managed to bring his father out of the fight, but his mother was a better fighter than his father. Suddenly Ridire felt his sword spin out of his hand and the cold metal of a blade pressed to the soft flesh of his neck. His mother grinned. "I won. You still have much to learn young one."

Ridire growled. His father laughed. Tayla released him. They cast aside their weapons. Ridire then attacked his parents using his fists. Tayla blocked the punch. They continued to use hand-to-hand combat. Ridire eventually managed to defeat his mother. She smiled. "Very good. I will end your training here for tonight since it is your birthday." Ridire bowed. "Thank you mum."

"One of a few gifts."

Ridire's ears perked up. "Really?"

Damien laughed. "Yes child. Come your presents are at the edge of the clearing."

Ridire grinned at raced to the packages. He tore them open to the adult's laughter. He received a dagger from his parents and several books on magic. He also got a big book on potions. Moony and Padfoot came up to him. "We got you a present too, cub."

Ridire grinned and took the package. He opened it and grinned in delight. It was an amulet made out of mithril. It was in the shape of the moon. In the center was a blood-red gem. Padfoot spoke. "It has some protection charms on it. It also is a password-activated portkey. When activated it will send you to a safe place or any destination you want by picturing it clearly in your mind. The password is 'Salvation'. Tayla smiled faintly.

"Fitting."

Tayla, Damien, Padfoot, and Moony all looked at the 10 year-old boy. Salvation indeed. Once forgotten, finally remembered by others, but there is long-term damage not easily to be fixed. Maybe never, only time would be able to tell, but even that is uncertain.
