I don't own Harry Potter or the Dark Hunter series...well actually I do, but not in the way I want. That would be illegal tee hee

Dark Hunters... Men and women, whom in death feel a great sadness or rage that cries out for revenge. When the cry is loud enough, to reach the ears of the Goddess Artemis, in exchange for the ability to take revenge, she takes their soul and they become immortal until a true love passes her test to return it to them. In its place, she grants them powers of magic, over time, their bodies, and the elements themselves depending on what each one is capable of doing.

Charonte Demons... If they respect you as a fighter and or as a friend long enough, they can bond with you and grant them not only their powers to use, but their immense strength and ability for combat. One of only two known bonds is that of Archeron and Simi

Apollites/Daemons... Enemies of the Dark hunters, they are humanoid versions of dementors. But it is only if they choose to be, because of a curse ages ago placed upon them by the God Apollo, they remain mortal until their 27th birthday. Until then they are known as Apollites. Once their 27th occurs, they have only two choices. To kill and take a human soul to live longer and become Daemon. Or die a very quick and painful death of old age in less then one day...

Archeron... The leader of the Dark-hunters since their creation, not much is known about him save this. He is the son of Apollymi, Atlantean Goddess of Chaos and Destruction. He is the final fate for the Gods as his half sister or the three fates of Grecian Lore. The only ones, whom he truly trusts besides those who work for him, is Simi...his Charonte demon friend that he dotes upon as a father would a child. And Tory his wife, who knows of his past as a human and does not care.

Tory... Human turned Goddess, thanks to Archeron's true mother Apollymi. She is a kind hearted woman and stubborn as hell when it comes to her husband whose past would rival a normal beings worst nightmare. She is the only one who other then Simi loves him regardless of what happened.

Simi... A Charonte demon, considered to be a child amongst their kind, Simi and Archeron grew up together, even though she views him more as a father then a brother. Only 3,000 years old when they first met, she ages one year for every thousand in human years. By the time they meet Harry, she is 12,000 years old or 12 in human terms and Archeron is older then that.

Savitar... Next to nothing is known about him, save this. He is FAR older then Archeron or the Gods combined. To cross him, means you and everything around you ceases to exist, and the only one who truly knows who or what he is, is Apollymi.

Apollymi... Archeron's mother and Goddess of pure Chaos. A good and at the same time malovelent woman she is a highly overprotective mother of those she considers family. When Archeron initially dies as a human, she was released from her prison that was forced upon her at his birth. She goes on a rampage and is believed to be responsible for the destruction of Atlantis and several lands in her desire for revenge of those who wronged him. Will do anything for him, Tori, or Archeron's daughter with Artemis, Katra and her soon to be child.

Well I hope that gives you guys some help and references to things.

Prologue

Sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or the one... Spock and Captain Kirk, Star Trek II the Wrath of Kahn...

Fate is set in stone I believe...it is simply how we get there is what counts...Alysia Storms

Having heard of the prophecy from Dumbledore, concerning the fates of either one of their unborn children, James Potter and Frank Longbottom began to meet secretly with one another.

Their need to protect their wives and their children strong, it was agreed. Now matter how much it would hurt themselves, or their wives. That both children would be given up for adoption, and to be placed in an orphanage as siblings...no matter how much it hurt them as their fathers.

Born two months after these meetings started, both Lily and Alice gave birth in late July as it ended to two bouncing baby boys. Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom came into this world, that late July night...and would disappear that same night as their mothers slept.

Their fathers heartbroken and crying with loss as to not want to give either boy up know it is for the best. They have a chance to grow up as long as they are away, from where Voldemort's actions could kill them.

Taking them deep into London, to an orphanage that is respected and treats their children with love. Both boys are left on their doorstep in bassinets, each with a note and a pendant around their necks.

Upon Harry that of a Phoenix...and Neville...a Lion.

Placing soft kisses on their sons' foreheads, the two boys slumber happily unknowing of the pain; their dads are going through as they push the doorbell and then vanish away.

Five years later...

"Simi wants lots of shiny things! Akri! Fix Simi's cards please!" The black haired demon replied happily as she latched onto Archeron's arm, Tory on the other was just giggling at the happy demon's eyes as she wandered off to go look at a jewelry store. Both she and Archeron were smiling indulgently, as their daughter in a way, he silently reinforces the glamour upon her body, hiding her true demonic features.

Black hair, and dark skin, to others around them. Simi has purple skin and little horns coming out of hair. A pair of giant black wings erupting from her back, the Charonte demon was petite and small of body. Considering to her kind she is still only a child and not even a teenager, despite the thousands of years she and Archeron have spent together.

To cover someone such as Simi, who was immensely powerful in glamour took someone of his own or equal power outright.

Smiling indulgently as he waved his hand over one of her many cards, that he keeps on hand for the impish demon, she squeals in happiness as she runs back to snatch it. Returning to the jewelry sore, Archeron calmly waits outside for her, with his arms wrapped around Tory.

"She's happy." She smiled as she looked up at her husband. Indulgent laughter and amusement in his silver swirling eyes, they find themselves stunned as two little boys approach them with curious expressions. Tory, not able to resist bending down to their gaze, Archeron looks around and notices the group of other children looking around a nearby toy story, with a couple of older adult women, he smiles indulgently at the two who have approached them. His arm raised as they capture the attention of an older panicked woman who nods her head in relief, when she sees the two in front of them.

Before she gets to them, it is their question that surprises him as Simi rushes out with lots of bags. Her red eyes are widening with happiness at the children, look at her with amazement.

"WOW!" The one brown haired child shouts out, as his fingers fiddle with a lion around his neck. His dark eyes are expressive as he sees the Charonte demon; he looks to the black haired boy beside him, who carries the same expression, a phoenix resting around his. "Do you see what I see Harry?"

"She glows Neville! She glows like we do!"

Simi of course is delighted as the boys tell her she glows and starts chatting with the two boys whose eyes look her over with curiosity. Both boys appearing to be only 5-6 years old. They were chatting happily about kids stuff and comparing things with her over shiny and pretty items the little demon jusy brought.

"WOW! Simi glows? That is so neat. Simi is going to go shopping... Akri! Akra! Simi says they come with us!"

Smiling indulgently at the young demoness, by her people's standards, Archeron shakes his head, as Tory giggles. Never one to deny her, Simi and Tory both gang up on him. "Come on Ash...it wouldn't be any harm. Simi would have someone to talk to easier then us. She is a growing girl!"

"What Akra said!" The Charonte replied with a pouting expression. "Simi wants them to come Akri! Simi wants them to come and I promise I won't eat them!"

It was at this time that the older woman approaches them. Studying the stern and yet kind features in her eyes, both little boys look sheepish as she scolds them for wandering off. "They can't Simi; they have to go with the nice lady over there!"

Her eyes darkening to a blood red with anger, the demoness stomps her feet like a petulant child would. "No! I want them to come with us! They say Simi glows and they nice! Simi wants them to come with us!"

"Ash please...?" Tory teased softly. Her hands wandering to his back in a light carress. "Please...let them come. Simi needs friends other then Dark Hunters you know."

Both giving valid reasons one after another, in the end Archeron can not help but surrender much to the delight of his small family. It was at this time that the two boys pull on their caretaker's skirt with a curious and questioning gaze. "If the man over there says its okay, Miss Truesdale, can we go with them?" Harry replies hopefully. His green eyes shining brightly, her heart can't help but reach out to the small boy.

Twice he and his brother had been chosen for fostering, but both times were returned due to something or other. They were hoping to get someone else interested in fostering...perhaps adopting them...

"Harry, you know you can't make people care for you in one day." She said gently and with a smile. "It takes time..."

"I know...but.."

"It is all right they can come with us." Tory replied warmly as Simi and the two children yelp on pleasure. The three running off now, to go look at another store. Ash just shakes his head as Tory follows them. Her motherly nature peeking out as something about all three of them together allow her to be warm and content. Even now, they can year the young female talking about what she wants for lunch with both boys who grin and nods their head in agreement.

"Simi wants hamburgers for lunch! LOTS AND LOTS of hamburgers with barbecue sauce! Harry and Neville want same thing. We get Akri to buy us lots and lots right Akra!"

Confused by her statement, the woman looks at him questioningly, and is puzzled. Offering his hand he subtly erases her memory of that particular statement, and greets the woman with a gentle smile. "My name is Archeron, Archeron Parnthopeaus and I don't mind if they come with me, my wife, and Simi."

"Are you sure about this sir, I don't want them to be interfering in your day with you and your family."

"It's all right Miss..."

"Call me Anna..."

"All right then, Anna, it's not interfering. I travel a lot you could say. It is maybe best as my wife said that they do come with us. Simi does not have many friends her own age." (Or therabouts in human years he thought to himself. She is only 12 in human terms after all.)

"Then could you have them back to the Baker street orphanage by 9 pm then?"

Surprised, as the word orphanage was uttered, Archeron is looking at those two boys with something akin to pity and remembrance. One of a brother in all but spirit who has been lost... Wondering how his once closest friend was, he is thoughtful as he looks towards the two boys.

Anna catching this emotional gaze can't help but smile a little bit, as the quiet gentleness emerges through the strange eyes of the man in front of her. Her instincts normally would warn her if these people were not good. Not once did they fire as the man goes to join the boys and his family. His clear indulgence as he hands some kind of card to the girl, who immediately pulls Harry and Neville into the toy store with her.

Maybe fate is finally going the way of the two young brothers...

Six hours later...

Approaching the Baker Street Orphanage, Simi, Tory, and Archeron look at one another thoughtfully. Tory holding Neville, and Archeron holding Harry in their arms, they were actually contemplating doing something. Because of certain events that had happened earlier that night, poor Harry bore a lighting shaped scar on his forehead...

Both boys were under a sleep enchantment, enforced upon them by Archeron and Tory both as he removed their memories of that night. They were stunned at how much the two five year olds had fought back to not be placed under it, or to let go of that memory.

It had required the couple for the first time since Tory's conversion to goddess to actually use their power...

"Simi is worried for Harry and Neville, Akri, Akra!" The Charonte demon cried out quietly. Her red eyes misting in pain as she looks around to see appearing figures in the darkness. "Simi feels many present, she don't like. Can she eat them?" The glamour broken, as she flexed her power, her true form stopped many of those black cloaked figures from attacking them.

"Simi don't like shiny lights! Akri! Please let me eat them!" The demoness asked loudly and clearly in irritation.

Archeron of course had told her no, mentioning the fact that she might get a bellyache. The demoness thought it over and understood, because the last time she had one, she couldn't eat for a week. It made her so upset, for that was little Melissa's birthday week and she didn't get to share the cake with her favorite girl child when they were visiting Kyrian and not the Bitch Goddess many years ago before her newfound Akra emerged in her life.

Still, when they had approached the orphanage, the two did not like the silence...

"Simi don't like this...Simi don't want to take Harry and Neville in there..."

"Agreed, Simi guard them and Tory, I'm going side."

"Okay Akri!"

Nodding her head, the demon flexes her powers and a barrier shield surrounds them as Archeron hands Harry to her. The demon shuffling the boy a bit, till she gets comfortable, she watches in silence as one she has known all her life approaches the silent building.

Watching as he disappears, it does not take long for him to come out. His own eyes filled with sadness and anger. Archeron moves his hands and casts a spell, which sets the entire place a blaze...

"Ash..." Tory said quietly, as her eyes watch the fire. "All of them...?"

Making a familiar motion with his head, Simi does her best to hold on to Harry as if trying to give him comfort. "Simi, wants to know what we do now?"

"We keep the boys with us Simi...we keep them till we know what is going on..." Tory replied. That stubborn look in her eyes as Ash was going to protest for a moment. The man nods his head and with that said, Simi hands Harry to Archeron once more, before disappearing and moving onto his skin as a dragon tattoo. With a wave of his hand.

Shortly there after, the two adults and two children vanish without a trace...

-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-

Following morning...

Two men collapse as an article in the paper makes them shout no, in pain and agony. Having confessed to their wives what they had done recently, there were plans to go and get their sons back within the next month.

To not go and get them any sooner, would have been suicide...

Voldemort had not shown his face at all, since their birth and it was believed that he was either dead or no longer interested in tracking the two supposed children either one of them of who could fulfill this prophecy.

But now...with this...

"God James...what are we going to tell Lily and Alice?" Frank cried out as he looked at the paper in agony. His hand is twiddling with the lion pendant around his neck...

James doing the same, the dark haired man with glasses, just stares blankly as his fingers twiddle with the phoenix around his neck.

Harry was gone...

As two men grieve, for what they believe they have lost, two boys were awakening on an Island paradise, with Archeron, Tori, and Simi looking up at them...

"Simi, wants to know if Harry and Neville wants to stay with Akri, akra, and Simi forever!"

Looking at one another, the two young boys leap into their arms, with happiness. Their answer...yes
