I Do What I Want (Drarry)

Temptation of the Worst Kind

            Harry watched as their eyes widened and then narrow. He knew that they were seeing the resemblance to Ethan. They had to be. There was no way that they could miss it. There was practically no differences between the way he looked in his past life and this life. The big question would be, would they remember Ethan? They killed so many people over the years, that he wondered if any one person would stand out to them. Ethan had been the very last life that made it possible for the Sorcerer's Stone. Perhaps that death would have stuck out to them.

            Draco was a tad nervous at the in depth staring that was going on. It was almost like they could see into his soul. Judging by their displeasure, they didn't seem to like it. Oh well, it wasn't like he cared about their approval. They were insane psychopaths hell bent on murdering everything.

            Nicolas instantly recognized the name Harry Potter. It was nice to have a face to put to the name. Even as isolated as they are for most of their life, that name sure stuck around lately. Society always had someone popular that they liked to harp on. In recent years, the popular names before Potter's fame had been Voldemort, Grindewald and Dumbledore. Society is rather fickle and have a fascination with people that they dub to be celebrities. They themselves had been a celebrity right after the stone had been completed. Nicolas couldn't help but wonder why on earth his son would bring anyone home. It wasn't like Finneus had ever had friends before. His child had always been a loner. His wife said it must have been bad genes from their ancestors, because Finneus just didn't come out right.

            Nicolas took another look at Potter and he frowned. There was a niggling in the back of his mind but he couldn't quite understand why. There was something familiar about the boy. It wasn't his hair or his face, really. It was the eyes. For a moment he wanted to snort at the irony. He must have been around his son too long if he was picking up familiar things in people's eyes. That had always been his son's fascination. Finneus's peculiar habits never used to bother him. He was always disappointed that his son didn't want to join in on the family business but as long as he was still causing deaths, then he really didn't mind it. It was his wife that had thought the eye stealing had been wrong. But it wasn't like she could really say anything regarding trophies, she has a nice bone collection out back and all around the house.

            He narrowed his eyes the longer he stared. It was definitely the eyes that stood out to him. They were green but almost too green. Were those real? He had only seen eyes like that one time but it had been a long time ago. He closed his eyes for a couple seconds as he willed his mind to bring the memory forward. Nicolas's eyes snapped open in shock. If he didn't know any better, he would say that he was looking at Ethan Ainsworth. But he did know better. He had killed Ethan with his own hands. So that couldn't be him. It was possible that he was a descendant from the man.

            Perenelle frowned deeply as she stared at her son. She would look at the new comers in a moment. But she was concerned with the fact that her son was still alive. That was not something that she had anticipated. She wondered if something had gone wrong with the hellhounds. She had checked their collars before letting them out. So the spells couldn't have fallen. She reached out through the binding spells to call them back to her but she narrowed her eyes when there was no indication of them. Had Finneus done something to them? Had he found a way to free them before they could harm him? She cursed inwardly when she realized that she wouldn't be able to question him while she was in front of her husband. He wouldn't have understood her need to send them after him. If she killed Finneus and he found out... she shuddered at the thought. He would make her replace him. That would mean another child. Nope. Once had been bad enough. She never even wanted Finneus. She tried several spells that would make the child abort before Finneus was born. But any spell that would have done so, would have attracted Nicolas's attention. So she had stuck to small insignificant spells every single day, hoping that enough exposure would harm the baby. Unfortunately, none of them worked.
