Chapter Text
Seeing the spell cast from a shadowy form, Harry jumps forward to protect the man beside him only for the spell to blast him backward and through the Veil. That is the last thought he has as he wakes up in a comfortable bed and looks around. Seeing that he is in some sort of cave-like room Harry thinks he must be in Gringotts though for the life of him, he could not figure out how he knew that. Taking into account everything, Harry finds besides the clothes on his back he has a wand and a roll of parchment.
"Ah you are awake Young Master," a voice said from the side making him jump.
"Who are you?" Harry asked looking towards the voice to see a stranger in a cloak so dark it seemed to draw all lights into it.
"Why I am Death, my Young Master," the man said with a slight bow to him.
"Okay at the moment, I really have no idea what is going on but I do know Death is not a person but a constant force of the Universe," Harry said making the stranger laugh.
"You are thinking too much like a Muggle," the man said. "Trust me I am Death, and if it was not for my intervention your Soul would have left this world when you fell through the Veil. I am sorry to say that I barely saved you and the slight touch you had with it took away the majority of your memories. Not that that is a great loss mind you but still my bad," Death said.
"Okay say I believe you, why would you bother?" Harry asked.
"Well as I keep saying, you are my Master," Death said as with a wave of his hand summoned a seat for himself at Harry's bedside. "I have been watching you for a while so when you headed to the Veil, I acted with the help of a friend of mine. You are alive and I have brought you to Gringotts so that the Goblins could cleanse your system for thanks to my friend we are in what you would consider your past."
"What do you mean, my past?" Harry asked his voice cracking due to the shock of what he was being told.
"Well if I had just saved your body when it was falling to the Veil, it would have been too late for you to do anything. When you fell, you were around fifteen years old, but I have brought you back to right before your eleventh birthday. That way you can get to live the life you were meant to live," Death said leaning back in his chair and throwing his arms behind his head.
"What do you mean the life I was meant to live?" Harry asked wishing whatever this was would stop so he could actually speak without asking question after question.
"I suggest you read the parchment," Death said pointing at the scroll in Harry's hand. Rather than ask another question Harry did as requested as he unrolled the scroll.

Harry, well he guessed Hades, was shocked at what he had just read as he turned to Death who seemed to be filing his nails with a wand. In fact, it was the wand Hades had discovered on him. "Okay I have some more questions," Hades said making Death let out a laugh as he motioned him to ask them. "Alright right off the bat why would it list that I was loyal to this Ron Weasley/Albus Dumbledore twice?"
"Ah, that is because sometime in the future this boy Ron gains control of a device known as a Time-Turner which he uses to send himself back in time taking on the name of Albus Dumbledore. So it mentions both his names in Magically induced loyalty for you would have been forced to be loyal to both of him. I say would have been for that parchment is what the Goblins had found on you before they performed a Cleansing, meaning all but the items that should be there have been removed from your system," Death said.
"Well, that answered my second question. Alright, what about both of my parents being compromised?" Hades asked.
"Well, your Bearer due to Ron's manipulations is at this moment without a physical body as for your Sire all I can say is that he has been put under a spell to make him think and look like he is someone else."
"Alright, so I have no parents in one sense of the word, who am I staying with?" Hades asked.
"Now that is a little trickier to answer for you had been staying with a Muggle family after being told that you were related to them but that was all a lie. I have a plan to get you a place to stay," Death said quickly taking out a pocket watch from the inside of his cloak and looking at it for a moment. "I think we can pull it off in time as well," Death muttered softly to himself lifting his left hand to his mouth and biting one of his fingernails. "We just need to take you shopping and everything will be fine, I am sure of it," he said putting away his watch and taking hold of Hades's hand leading him out of the room. Hades had to basically jog to keep up as Death ran out of the bank and into an Alley where Magicals were shopping most accompanied by kids out getting their school supplies. Since only Hades and certain Goblins could see Death, Hades received some strange looks as he was pulled/ran after Death.
Death led Hades to a robe shop and basically pushed him inside, making Hades stumble for a moment before he righted himself to see the people in the shop giving him strange looks. "First-year, dear?" a plump kind-faced woman asked as she turned away from another patron standing on a raised platform. "We get the lot in here just step right up and I will get right to you," she said as she took the other boy's measurements.
"First-year are you?" the other boy said looking down his nose at Hades with the same strange look on his face that he had worn since Hades had entered the shop.
"I guess," Hades said having no idea what they were talking about.
"Muggleborn by the look of you," Hades heard the other boy mutter.
"Both my parents are Wizards," Hades said sharply not liking this boy as his hair began to stand on end.
"If you say so firstie," the boy said as the woman finished with him and sent him out the door.
"Alright your turn my dear," the woman said as she used a tape measure to take Hades's sizes which it took the boy a moment to realize was working on its own as the woman bustled around him picking out robes close to his size. "Now I must ask, do you have any creature blood in you before I begin?" she asked.
"Um, I was told I am an Angel-Neko why?" Hades asked.
"So that I can leave holes in case your creature has added appendages," the woman stated kindly. "Now can you bring them out for me so I can start?"
"How do I do that exactly?" Hades asked.
"Did your parents never tell you?" she asked and received a shake of his head ."Ah, okay as an Angel one tends to need to relax to bring their wings out while a Neko requires thoughts of either stress or happiness." Hades tried to put himself in the right mindset of being both calm and relaxed while at the same time happy closing his eyes as he did so.
His eyes shot open as he heard her give out a startled gasp upon seeing his creature attributes come out. Looking into the mirrors situated around him so that he would be able to see his new robes from all angles he sees that he now has a pair of wings of pure white color which seemed to glow a little while also possessing a pair of orange and white cat ears and tail. Before Hades could ask the woman why she had gasped the bell above the door chimed and in walked a pale young man with someone who could only be his father. The two males had been laughing at something as they entered only for the younger man to stop as soon as he laid eyes on Hades. The younger of the two men's body began to change as he appeared to grow a couple of inches taller and become more reptilian as two large green leathery wings ripped his shirt off his body revealing a nicely muscular chest. Seeing Hades with his creature attributes out the male let out a growl as he walked over to Hades who had frozen like a deer in the headlights of a Muggle car afraid this strange male was going to hurt him. He was therefore shocked, as were the boy's father and worker, as he was pulled into a tight hug against the other male's chest as the stranger growled "MINE."
"Alright son we get that he is yours now please let the poor boy go and reign in your Drak," the boy's father said raising his arms in the hopes of calming his son down. The boy seemed to think about this for a moment before he changed back to a more human-like form. Hades found that even after the other lost his added height, Hades was still only chest-high to the other. "Sorry about my son, I really have no idea what has gotten into him," the boy's father said giving Hades a slight bow of apology as his son started to preen Hades's wings.
"Um, it is okay I guess may I ask...." Hades stopped not wanting to sound rude to someone touching him so gently as if he were a precious artifact that might just break if handled too harshly.
"His name?" the father ventured with a small smile as Hades nodded. "Well, my son is Theodore Nott II," the man said this time making Hades gasp. With some difficulty, Hades pulled the roll of parchment out of his pants only to have it slip from his hands as the other boy brushed a hand over one of his catlike ears. "Son really let him go," the father said as he picked up the parchment and read the top few lines with a slight gulp. When Theodore did not respond fast enough, the father transformed into his own Drak form and literally pulled his son away from Hades.
Both Hades and the worker watched in shock as the boy after being separated from Hades, he transformed back into his own Drak form and started to fight his own father to get back to him. The pleasant-faced woman tried to get them to stop but they seemed not to hear her words or any spell she shot from her wand as they began to destroy the shop in their fight. Hades winced as he saw the father rake his claws over his son's stomach creating a couple of large gashes and letting blood begin to flow out of the younger Drak. Feeling as if he had also been clawed in his stomach Hades's wings shoot out to their full extension and the glow coming off them increases so it looks like they are just a few wavelengths shy of a star. Both Drak stopped fighting instantly as the father came to stand at attention, Hades made his way over to them while his son clutched his stomach in hopes of stopping the blood flow. Reaching the pair, Hades without thinking lifts his left hand towards the torn stomach surprised as his hand is surrounded by a soft golden light.
Theodore gasps as his wounds are healed and the blood stops pouring out of his body getting to his feet and glaring at his father with a snarl. Hades quickly gets between them placing a hand on both their chest looking a little comical since both Drak towered above him by at least a head and a half. The fight seems to drain out of both of them as they shift back into human form with the son still glaring at his dad. "You had no right to pull me away," Theodore snarled at his father.
"I had every right, you idiot, according to this, that is his son," the man said shooting a look at the woman who was busy fixing the shop with an air of relief.
"So he is my mate," Theodore stated it as if it was a fact making his father roll his eyes before looking down at Hades who was still holding a hand to both their chest.
"I do apologize for my son, I have no idea where he got that idea," the father said sending his own glare at his son knowing if the son of his old friend took offense he might as well pick out a cemetery plot at this very moment.
"I do, you might want to read further," Hades said as the man shrugged and followed the instructions only to gulp seeing that he was the one who had been mistaken which was made quite clear when he saw he could read more than just the boy's name and who his parents were on the document.
"I am sorry, Heir," the elder male said dropping to his knees before Hades as he bowed to the young boy.
"Um, you can stand up there is no need," Hades said as Theodore could not help but smirk down at his prostrating father while he wrapped his arms possessively around Hades's waist. Hades looked around for some help but the worker avoided looking at them until they got it settled and Death was just in one of the corners doubled over in laughter leaving Hades to handle this on his own. "Okay, okay all is forgiven please stand up so we can just move past this please," Hades said not liking the idea of anyone bowing to him.
This finally brought the man back to his feet as he straightened his robes and stated, "As you wish, young Heir." Thankfully after that, both father and son calmed down letting Hades get some robes before Theodore got his own. But when it came to paying for them, Hades found a problem for he had no money, but thankfully Theodore's father agreed to pay for them. "If you do not mind me asking, young Heir, why don't you have any money?" the older male asked as they left the robe shop.
"Well, to be honest, I woke up a while ago with no memory of my past with only the scroll in my hands so if I did have any money I might not recognize it," Hades said making Theodore pull him once more to his chest.
"Strange but we shall settle this right now," his Mate's father said leading Hades and his son back to Gringotts where they went to meet with one of the Goblins. Using the scroll to prove Hades's identity they were allowed access to Hades's trust vaults giving him a new key to access all the vaults he had access to at this time. The Goblins also performed a ritual that caused any Vault keys attached to Hades's Vaults not already in the possession of his family, due to them being listed as compromised, to be instantly returned to the Goblins. As the Goblins did this, Hades and the others traveled to one of his vaults to pick up some currency of the Magical world, Theodore Nott I explained to Hades how it all worked. Even though Hades had not yet received his Hogwarts letter, being a few days shy of his eleventh birthday, his Mate and the older Nott took him to collect all the things he would need for the coming year at Hogwarts using Theodore's own list.
They only ran into some problems when they went to collect Hades's wand as the Angel-Neko went through every single wand in the store without any of them ever bonding to him, even one that the owner was sure would fit him perfectly. After they left the Wand sellers, the elder Nott decided to try a place of specialized Magical focusing items for those with Creature blood. As the clerk who was helping them asked about Hades's creature, he smiled and pulled out a couple of items and had Hades choose what felt right to him.
Looking down at the items Hades skipped over something that looked like a scythe, a sort of two-handled stick with a hole in the middle of it, a pair of metal claws. But the final item caught his eyes as he reached down and lifted a glowing metal blade that appeared to be one single piece of an unknown metal. The clerk gave a small whistle at his choice. "I don't think in all my years here have I ever seen one choose an Angel blade at such a young age," the clerk explained as he had Hades, test out the blade. Taking a step back from everyone Hades swung the blade around a few times getting used to its weight before pointing the blade at the box and with a non-verbal spell that he found came to mind made the entire box float into the air before bringing it to his hands. "Such control, I think you and that blade are made for each other," the clerk said as he rang up the blade and gave Hades a sheaf for it which Hades attached to his waist on his left side.
Once they had gotten the Angel Blade the elder Nott decided to call it a day leading both pre-teens out of the Alley and into a small pub telling Hades he could stay with them until the term started for Hogwarts as well as how to travel via Floo. Hades's Mate gently took hold of his arm as he led him through the Floo. They arrived in a very sparse yet large room. Hades found he could not move as Theodore rubbed his back stating that until his dad added Hades to their Manor's wards Hades would be frozen in place for the family's protection. Thankfully his Mate's father arrived soon and fixed everything leading to Hades getting a tour of the place from his Mate, who informed him that he preferred to go by Theo.
