The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Dahlia and Orion were laying in their bed, before they saw a black shadow appear in the room. Thanatos appeared, "Sorry to interrupt, but it's time for me to get Henrik," he revealed.

The Mikaelson's all sat forward haring the youngest sibling's name. Ruby's head perked up too hearing his name.

The couple's eyes widened and they got up as he disappeared. "You ready?" Orion asked Dahlia. "No no absolutely not," she replied. The glamour on her hair had been off and her hair slowly turned blonde showing her stress and nerves. Orion wrapped her in a hug, "Hey you are great with children, you will do fine and I will do fine. If I don't, you're terrifying when you're mad, if you yell I will definitely remember it," he says resulting in a muffled laugh from Dahlia.

Sirius, Regulus, Lyra, Bellatrix, Narcissa, Andromeda, and Henrik all snorted. They have witnessed their dad's terrified face when their mum got angry.

They saw the shadows appear again and Thanatos appeared with a ten year old boy who had been holding his head. He had old bloody clothes on and his eyes squinted, looking at us. "He has received a thousand years worth of memories of what his siblings have done and then information for him to not be confused on anything, so yes he has quite the headache. But he does know what is going on, why he's here, who I am, who you are, what you are, and so on so on," Thanatos explained.

Nik looked at his youngest brother in surprise, while Niklaus looked a little ashamed, as did the other Mikaelsons.

Dahlia moved forward and bent down so she was eye level with Henrik, "Hello Henrik, I'm Dahlia, that's my husband Orion, you're going to be staying with us," she said in her calmest voice. He looked back at Thanatos who nodded and looked at Dahlia and launched himself into her arms, she knocked down in the process, and he cried. Orion helped her sit up and sat next to Dahlia and Henrik, "He is a bit emotional being alive, his siblings remember everything from the first timeline, I even visited them, they know Henrik will make a reappearance at some point," Thanatos explained. Henrik pulled away from Dahlia's shoulder and looked at the deity, "Is Nik still using daggers?" he asked quietly.

Niklaus, knowing it was referring to him, practically had his eyes glued to the screen. Pandora kept a hold of Nik's hand so he wouldn't tense up and blame himself for his own paranoia, it hadn't really hit him that Henrik knew everything. The other Mikaelson's so the interaction and smiled slightly at Pandora's thinking, they knew Nik wouldn't dare harm her.

"No he is not, all of them started over after they realized why Niklaus acted the way he did, so the only daggering will be when they are trying to fool someone but they will not actually be daggered, it will be a spell" Henrik sniffed and then nodded before burying his head back in Dahlia's shoulder. "You will have about a week or two to get him settled in before we go get the di Angelo siblings," he told the Blacks. They nodded and he left.

"Henrik does your head still hurt?" Orion asked. Henrik lifted his head again to look at him and nodded. "How much do you know about the Wizarding World?" he then asked. Henrik motioned with his hand that he knew a little, "Okay so we have House Elves what help around the house. They are not slaves they basically live to serve a family. If they don't have a family to connect to magically wise, they die, Are you getting what I mean?" Orion asked. The boy nodded, "Okay so sometimes we also have personal elves mine is Crow and Dahlia's is Raven, we have one for you, we're going to call him and he will take you to your room and get you cleaned up, okay?" Orion questioned. Henrik nodded again, "Okay we thought because of your siblings, we couldn't not give you an elf named, Fang!" he called. An elf popped in, "Yes Master Orion?"

"This is Henrik, you are his personal elf, take him to his room and help him clean up," Orion ordered. Henrik got up and looked back at them seeming to be a bit scared, "You'll be fine just don't be alarmed if you see other elves, a lot of black dogs, some skeletal horses in the back, or Dahlia's hair changing color, actually if it's red and she's not trying to imitate her mother, be scared her temper is scary," Orion added and of course he got slapped in the arm by Dahlia for the hair comment.

Dahlia rolled her eyes remembering the conversation, even though she knew he was trying to cheer up a scared Henrik.

Henrik smiled before he left with Fang. "Well I think that went rather well," Dahlia mentioned. "You should probably get cleaned up," Orion said as he helped Dahlia up and she saw the dried blood and dirt on her.

Orion left Dahlia to let her clean up and headed down the stairs to the back room where the potions room was. He grabbed the Pain Relief potion for Henrik before passing by the main hallway, "Cannibal", he called. The elf made an appearance, "What Cannibal do for Master Orion?" he asked.

"We have a new child staying here; we will have two more very soon. His name is Henrik, Fang is his elf, he is going to hungry; can you make him some food, and bring it to him?" the elf nodded and left to go do what he was asked. Orion passed by the Founder's who looked curious, "If Dahlia doesn't make you visible I will be sure to introduce you guys to him," Orion said before they could ask anything. He headed up to Henrik's room and knocked, "Henrik, can I come in?" he got confirmation to come in. "Are you feeling better?" he asked seeing him lying back on his bed, "My head still hurts," Henrik complained. "Well it will for a while, you got an overload of information," Orion held up the potion, "Take this, it should help with your head," he swallowed the potion and cringed because yes, all potions taste like shit, been trying to make them taste better, but then the potion doesn't work.

Over the next week, Henrik got more comfortable around the couple. He's gotten the basic information about the Wizarding World. They told him about the siblings we are getting next week and they are Hades (he met some gods too) demigod children, and that he can here the other stories and go shopping for belongings when they get settled in. He seemed okay with it, Dahlia is pretty sure he'll be a Ravenclaw from him spending so much time eagerly learning about the world he was in now. Orion was thinking Slytherin though, he gets it from his siblings and no doubt will get cunningness from Orion and Dahlia when they blood adopt him.

"What's blood adoption?" Elijah asked.

"It'll be explained, but basically it's a form of adoption that gives him additional biological parents. We blood adopted Henrik, he gained a magical core, and got to go to Hogwarts and figure out how to work his original magic with his new magic," Orion explained.

"No, Bianca and I were not blood adopted," Nico said, giving Klaus a wink. Nico has gotten really cocky, as he is physically a 15 year old that is flirting with 30 year old. "You are fifteen, why are you flirting with him?!" Ben asked.

"I'm physically fifteen until my cousin hits the age sixteen, I'm actually in my twenties and technically in my forties," Nico countered. Nico caught the age difference, he was in his eighties, and the other Nico was in his forties, does that mean they didn't stay in the casino?
