Hadrian James Potter, or Harry, had always known he was different, ever since he could remember strange happenings had always occurred around him: glass windows vanishing only to reappear afterwards, instant hair regrowth, clothes shrinking, etc. When Harry had turned eleven, he had finally thought he had found his answer, but even amongst other witches, wizards, and other magical beings, Harry Potter was different whether it be because he was the Boy-Who-Lived (gods how he despised that name), he was a Parselmouth, or he had a bounty on his head he was just… different.

It wasn't until the day of the seventeenth year of his birth that Harry finally discovered his answer and the truth of his inheritance. Bill Weasley had taken him to the London Branch of Gringotts when he learned he was the last descendant and heir to the Gryffindor and Slytherin bloodlines, while further analysis revealed him to also be descended from the youngest of three brothers: Ignotus Peverell. Ignotus, along with his two elder brothers: Antioch and Cadmus, were the great-great-great grandchildren of the renowned Merlin Emrys and Morgana le Fey themselves, the great grandsons of Angelous Peverell and Rachel Gryffindor, and the sons of Barnabas Peverell and Daliah Slytherin; they were also the three brothers that inspired the famed Beedle the Bard's tale of the three brothers who met Death and were given the Deathly Hallows. The truth of this tale though was that the brothers weren't visited by Death or even some god (*Why would Death, or some god, appear before three mortals for just being clever enough to not drown?*), but they were instead powerful necromancers that created the Hallows themselves to reflect their peculiar foci. Antioch created the Elder Wand from elder and yew wood and used dragonbone, unicorn blood, basilisk venom, and thestral hair for its core to reflect his strength in battle magic. As a strong "Ghost Whisperer", Cadmus forged the Resurrection Stone from the blood of a Lich contained within a crystallized Dementor's heart. Finally Ignotus, whose strength lied in illusion magic, wove the Cloak of Invisibility using freely given Lethifold skin as the small bits of leather, the cloth of a Wraith, and the hairs of a Grimm to stitch them all together. Instead of making one "Master of Death", together they would simply enhance one's necromancy ten fold. Looking back on it, he had begun to notice how comfortable he had been in Riddle Cemetery and how the Inferi had almost seemed to… fight against Tom's compulsions, not that they could, as if wanting to obey his command instead.

When Griphook had taken him to the Potter Vault, the many Potter Heirlooms astounded the young man but his attention was soon drawn to a pedestal in the chamber's heart where lied a book. The book itself was bound in leather, its pages were of parchment yet both were worn, and the pages yellow, with age and, upon closer inspection, Harry found it to be both the Potter Beastiary and Grimoire; curious of his necromantic abilities, he gazed upon page after page of entries on various creatures of the Living Dead: Dementors, Reanimated (zombified corpses), Lich (undead necromancers), Shades (ghosts who haven't passed on), and Lethifold (carnivorous, corporeal shadows cloaked in shrouds with glowing red eyes, hence the name "Living Shrouds") before he found the, in his opinion most interesting, entry for Vampires, an entry, as he was by know familiar with her penmanship, was written by his mother, Lily.

Г Vampires

While haemovores, beings that feed on blood, vampires are biologically immortal transgenics, as opposed to supernaturally immortal demons of Medieval superstition, and, as such, do not possess any of the mystical weaknesses of mythological vampires: crosses, holy water, garlic, stakes, etc.

The origin story of the vampire takes place starting in the early seasons of the fifth century (400s AD), when Alexander Corvinus, a Hungarian warlord, witnessed as his village was rampaged by a plague leaving him as the only survivor though, due to a genetic mutation of unknown origin found in his bloodline, his genes bonded with the plague and Alexander became the first of the Immortals. Years later Alexander married Helena Corvinus and fathered three sons: Marcus and William, twin sons who inherited their father's genetic affliction and thus were born Immortals, and another whose name is now forgotten to all but Alexander, William, and Marcus who was instead born mortal; it is known that while the main branch later shortened their name to Corvin, Katerina Corvinus, the great-great granddaughter of this third son, married into the Peverell family, the ancestors of the Gaunts and Potters. In the sixth century, while riding at night within the Carpathian Mountains, the twins were attacked by a rabid wolf which bit William causing the wolf's DNA to merge with William's altered genetics mutating him into the first Lycan and creating lycanthropy, a virus that would turn the infected survivors into werewolves. Later Marcus would suffer the same fate only he was bitten by a bat which caused him to become the first vampire. Eventually with the help of Viktor and Amelia, both turned by Marcus, they and their army of Death Dealers would, in 1202 AD, finally capture and imprison William, creating a brief halt to the Vampire-Lycan War, and form three Great Covens scattered across the world reigned by Marcus, Viktor, and Amelia as the Elders who began to "leapfrog" through time: one awake, two asleep with the one Elder ruling for a century before allowing the next Elder to rule and entering sleep for two centuries before their next turn.

Vampires are created through either birth, becoming pureborns, or infection, through a bite, where most will die as they can't handle the fierce, aggressive virus or the bite causes too much damage and they bleed out before they can turn; those who survive the initial infection, will survive to mutate and turn into a vampire. The virus present in the vampire's genetics brands the vampire with physical mutations: they have overgrown lateral incisor teeth, pale skin, retractable fangs (canine teeth), and eyes with irises that, when aggravated or willed, turn either a shade of electric blue or gold. Vampires also possess various abilities and powers such as superhuman: strength, speed, agility, reflexes, endurance, durability, accelerated healing and immunity to illness (except vampirism), body elasticity, enhanced senses: sight (through increased depth perception and night vision), hearing, and smell; they also possess tactile telepathy which is used to obtain memories through blood consumption, adhesion, and immortality. Like all other species however, with their many abilities, vampires also have several weaknesses: though they can heal from a great many wounds, even those which could kill humans or even wizardkind, they can still be killed through intense trauma such as: burning, complications during childbirth, decapitation, dismemberment, drowning, lycanthropy, nightshade poisoning, severe blood loss, and severe brain and/or heart damage, Vampires also experience severe photosensitivity: indirect sunlight, while not damaging, can hurt their eyes, and direct sunlight or other sources of ultraviolet radiation (uv bullets, uv lamps, magical sunlight, etc) can incinerate their flesh in blue fire and embers, until they are reduced to charred corpses or a pile of ash. Because of the aggression of the virus, vampires cannot survive the bite of a lycan just as lycans cannot survive the bite of a vampire. Nightshade is poisonous to vampires, causing younger and weaker vampires an agonizingly slow death while giving older and stronger vampires temporary pain and paralysis which can last for several hours or until the vampire can feed.

It is also known that only human-based beings (Banshee, direct descendants of Alexander Corvinus, Muggles, Wizards, etc) can be turned though Hybrids possess the abilities of both species; Vampire-Wizardkind Hybrids can still wield magic though, with the boost of vampirism, they can still use a wand but can also become proficient in wandless magic.」

The knowledge of his beastiary was pushed aside when the war truly came to a head though the knowledge of the abilities of his necromancy came to be useful though his life changed again with Snape's final gift, a bite from a vampire, though his heritage and second survival of the Avada Kedavra, awoke the dormant Corvinus mutation in his genetics and he became the first Corvinus Strain-Necromancer-Wizard-Vampire Hybrid: a vampire that can survive ultraviolet light and was much harder to kill than a common vampire with electric blue eyes that turned violet when agitated and possessed the magic of both a necromancer and a wizard.

⌜ Boy-Who-Lived now Boy-Who-Was-Banished

-Rita Skeeter

You heard right my dear readers the rumours are true. During the Battle of Hogwarts it was brought to light that young Lord Potter had been turned into a vampire by none other than the deceased Severus Snape, a known Death Eater and spy against You-Know-Who. Earlier last afternoon, the defeater of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named witnessed as his lover, since the third year I'm told, Draco Malfoy, who had been Sired by one Bellatrix Lestrange herself during You-Know-Who's reign of terror before her death at the hands of Molly Weasley who was protecting her daughter, Ginerva Weasley, was put to death, exposed to sunlight by his own father, Lord Lucius Malfoy, before having his wand snapped and burned before being banished from the Wizarding World of the UK. When asked for a comment this is all Lord Potter himself had to say:

"The Wizarding World of the United Kingdom has always been composed of blind, fearful sheep waiting to be led by their shepherd not caring if said shepherd is a just one or a wolf among sheep; the other Magical Kingdoms, Nations, and Wizarding Worlds know this to be true, why else leave us to the mercy of Voldemort? All I have to say is that the UK's Ministry of Magic and its so-called Minister are nothing more than paranoid assbags not worthy of even the dirt trampled by those they call Mudbloods (who are in fact often times smarter and stronger than the Purebloods of their generation), they can rot in Hell. As is my right, the two responsible for the death of my lover, Draco Malfoy, have been personally… punished by myself. Have a good day and fuck you."

Lord Potter's most colourful and troubling message became crystal clear when the bodies of Lord Malfoy and Minister Alistair Wyrmwood were discovered early this morning when Ministry employees found Minister Wyrmwood hanging by his own entrails suspended within the Ministry's Welcoming Lobby; I am told that Kingsley Shacklebolt will be sworn in as our new Minister for Magic.

The house-elves of Malfoy Manor reported the death of Lord Malfoy. When Aurors arrived at Malfoy Manor, they discovered the manor's walls painted red with Malfoy blood and Lord Malfoy's remains scattered across the foyer in torn pieces and many of our trained Aurors, even those who had been veterans for years, were reported to have violently lost their breakfast from exposure to the raw carnage. Lord Potter has since left the UK and attempts to capture Lord Potter have all failed and Lord Potter's parting words may hold some value as our brother and sister Wizarding Worlds have refused to offer any aid in his capture.

Is what Lord Potter said true my dear readers? Have we really become nothing more than sheep? Has the Wizarding World of the United Kingdom really fallen so low? It surely cannot help when we have all but utterly betrayed and tossed our Hero away. How are we to fix this or can we even right our wrongs?⌟
