Meeting the Father-In-Law
Albus was in his office. The Order of the Phoenix were there, all except Sirius and Remus. Minerva stood up "Well Albus. Will you finally tell us, why we are gathered. He-who-must-not-be-named is dead. So what is the reason?". Albus appeared to age even more. "I have some disturbing news Minerva. Very disturbing news." The Order looked at him. Albus took a deep breath "The Dursleys were murdered."
"Pff. Good riddance." mumbled Snape. Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody zeroed at him "Oh! I bet you Death Eater scum are happy that muggles are dead huh?". Snape smiled "Those specific muggles yes!". Moody went to answer but Minerva started screaming at Albus "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ARE DEAD??? ALBUS! WHAT HAPPENED TO HARRY?". Snape stood up and looked at Minerva "What does Lily's son have to do with this?". Minerva looked at him and then to Albus, Severus's eyes widen and he turned even more pale. "ALBUS! PLEASE TELL ME YOU DID NOT LEAVE LILY'S CHILD WITH THAT DISGUSTING HAG!!!".
Albus tried to appear calm "Severus my boy, you know that Petunia was Harry's only living family". Severus looked ready to curse the old fool. "I told you! I told you Albus to NOT leave Harry with them. But did you listen NO! Where is Mr Potter Albus??!!". Now they were all looking at him and Albus felt like a five year old child. He bit his lip, he knew that if he told them that the boy was dead, he'd loose them all. Minerva would actually kill him and he was sure that Severus would help her. "The Dursley's were murdered by a gang leader. Apparently Vernon owed money to someone. He wasn't able to pay his dept, so the Leader sent his bodyguards to the Dursleys. They killed them all." Here he seemed to stop. Minerva was shakeing, she was silently begging every Deity that Harry was not dead.
"While I was gathering information, a worker came from the house yelling about..... about a body burried in the back yard." Minerva let out a sob, Severus swayed on his feet. Molly looked pale. "They called a doctor and confirmed... the body was a child, a boy by the age of three. I managed to have a look.... I saw the scar. Harry Potter is dead."
Μinerva broke down crying. Severus fell on the chair, with an empty look on his face. Moody cursed. Molly fell in Arthur's arms, who was crying softly. The Order was shocked. The first to recover was Severus, he stood up and looked Albus with rage visible on his face "I quit! The vow is void Albus. I vowed to help and protect the boy. He is dead. He is dead because of you! YOU LEFT HIM THERE WITH THOSE MONSTERS AND NOW LILY'S SON IS DEAD!". Severus then stormed out of the office. Minerva stoped crying and looked at Albus with a stone exprecion on her face.
"I'm going to follow Severus's lead. I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU NOT TO LEAVE HIM THERE. BUT DID YOU LISTEN? NO! And now James's, Lily's, Remus's and Sirius's boy is dead. My grandson is dead because of you! I will never forgive you Albus! Never. I'll have my resignation letter on your desk by Morning. Do not contact me again Albus. Goodbye." She said and walked out the door.
Albus was shocked. He never thought that he would lose Minerva, but he was wrong. He lost two memebers, not only in his Order, but in Howgarts too. Moody looked at his old friend "You know Albus. I always respected you, I always stood by you. But now, now I don't think I can anymore. The boy is dead. The only one that would be able to stop that monster, that you insist is still alive, is dead. And we can't even fight the Death Eaters, because you don't want us to use lethal force. Admit it Albus, you've lost, we've lost."

Thousand milles away Henrique, Venom and Father Death were having a conversation.
& Stupid humans. You should let me eat them all Hatchling&
Death chuckled at the over excited murderous snake, that his little Reaper had collected. "Now Venom. As much as I agree, you know we still need humans. Even though they are anoying."
Henrique looked at Father Death with a questioning look. "Father Death, why do humans are so afraid of you?". Death hummed. "Humans always fear the unkown, and that is what I am. I am the unknown. Humans have the need to control everything and when they found something they cannot controll, they fear it. It's in their nature. I am Death, I am the End of All Things, I am Inevetable. That is why they fear me, because they cannot control me."
Henrique looked pensive. "But aren't Papa and I humans?" Death chuckled "Not exactly My Little Reaper. You appear to be human, but you are not. Remember what your Papa told you about the woman that created the first De Castella?" at the boy's nod he continued.
"Her name was Veronica De Castella. And she was not human. Veronica was a Necromancer, there is a big difference between a 'necromancer' and a True Necromancer. In order for someone to become a True Necromacer, you have to partake in a ritual.
In that ritual she had to sell her Soul and drink demon blood. Making her part demon. That is why she was a Necromancer and that is why I chose her. She then passed that to you, making the De Castellas the first and only Death Demons, AKA Reapers." At the end of his speech, Henrique was gaping. "Now, let's continue with your training."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirius, Remus and Valentino were in the livingroom and Sirius was being cranky for some reason. "For the love of Death Sirius, what is wrong with you today?! You are acting just like my sister when she was pregnant!" yelled Valentino making Sirius stop and look at him. Remus had his mouth open and blinked.
"That's because Padfoot is pregnant." said a voice and all three turned to look at Henrique. "What do you mean I'm pregnant??!" asked Sirius making the boy giggle. "I can see the baby's soul silly." Valentino shook his head a couple of times "My Little Emerald, what do you mean you can see souls??!" Henrique noded and walked up to Sirius and touched his flat stomach. "The baby is right here. It's still tiny but I can feel it's soul. It's like me and papa!". Sirius blinked at his godson.
A chilling voice sounded "Oh that is marvelous!". They turned araound to see a giant Dementor looking creature, holding a Scythe. Sirius grabed Henrique and pulled him behind him, while Remus jumped in front of Valentino and started growling at the creature. "Remus, Sirius calm down! That is just Father Death!".
" DEATH??!!" Screeched Sirius.
"FATHER?!!?" Yelled Remus, who look paler by seconds. Henrique managed to pass Sirius and run up to Death, with a yell of "Father Death!". Death petted the young boys head. "Now, Sirius Black. Come closer, let me see what Little Henrique is talking about."
Death glided towards the animagus and pressed one boney hand on his stomach. And to everyones astaunishment he started dancing and giggling. "Oh Yes! There is definetely a child in there! And not just any child! A future Reaper! But this one! Ho this one is going to be different. Half Reaper, Half Weerewolf! The first of it's kind! YES! Honestly Valentino, I'm glad you waited that long, to gace me with a Grandchild. But make no mistake young man, you are already way to late. Yes you had My Beautiful Henrique, but that was years ago! You young man are 40!! You were supposed to had at least six more children! Now either start trying to get pregnant, or so help me, I Will ground you Mister!"
"You know what. I think I'm going to lay down now. Yup, wake me up later, bye!" Said Sirius who proceeded to lay on the couch and passing out. "Nobody is going to talk about the fact, that Death of all Entities was giggly and dancing?" Asked Remus. Death then turned to him "Now Wolf. You and I are going to have a nice chat!" Remus gulped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirius finally wake up, to someones hand scratching his head. "Wake up sleepy head, we still need to talk." Sirius groaned, but stood up. "Okey! Explanations now please. Merlin Death is still here!!". Death chuckled but let Valentino explain everything, while he gave a few explanations himself.
"Okey! So let me get this straight. The creepy overgrown Dementor here is in fact Death. As in The Entity Death"
"Yes"
"Alright. So he is called 'Father Death' because he is somehow, your many,many,many times 'Father'?"
"Correct."
"How??!!!" Asked Sirius making Death chuckle. "Let me explain. I wanted a child. But since as you said I am an Entity, I 'm not able to father a child with a mortal. So I choose Veronica, who had partaken into a Demon ritual, making her half demon."
"So, Val is a Death Demon AKA a Reaper. Okey got that. What about My Pup?"
Death smilled. But Valentino answered this time "Since I blood Adopted him, he now carries my blood, that is in fact Father Death's blood, making Henrique a Death Deamon, a Reaper." Sirius thought about that answer. "So my godson is a Reaper like you. Wait, does this mean, the child I'm carrying right now is a Reaper??!!".
"Half Reaper, Half Werewolf infact. And yes. Now next question."
"Since Valentino is your 'Child'. Does this means he is imortal?". Death shook his head "There is not true Imortality. There always have to be Balance. What comes alive must always come back to Me. There has to be death, in order for New Life to be created. My children in contrary to you Wizards tend to live longer. While your most powerful wizard, may live up to 300 years. My Children live up to thousands and thousands of years. To help you understand better, My great-great Grandson is still alive. Now before you start, let me explain. I made sure that both you and Mister Wolf over there have the same Life span as My Valentino. Since you three are Mated, I took the liberty at tricking your souls with My magic, giving you both the same life span as My Son."
Remus had a confused expression on his face. "But what about the Deathly Hallows, the story about the Peverell Brothers?". Death actually laughed at him, Sirius was a bit confused, because Death was laughing. "Oh! That story is a Full Bullshit! Yes I did gift Those three with some objects, but the story about Collecting them all, to become 'The Master Of Death' is actually the funniest shit I've heared. And I'm spending Eternity with The God of Mischief Himself. Do you think I would ever gift Mortals with a way to Control Me? I cannot be control. I am an Entity!"
Sirius looked up at his future Father-In-Law. Merlin, he just called Death Father! "Alright. So what does that mean for Henrique?". Valentino pulled his son on his lap. "Henrique is still young. He hasn't mature into his Reaper powers yet." Sirius seemed relieved, he shifted to lay his head on Valentino's chest.
"Huh! Now that explains a lot. So I heared something about Val needed to get pregnant. So Moony I suggest you start." That made Valentino blush and Remus pale. Death seemed happy "Oh I knew I liked you Sirius, Welcome to the Family!". Henrique pulled his Papa's shirt. "Papa, how did the baby ended up in Padfoot? And What does Moony have to do with you having a baby? Also where do babies come from? And why do they have to be in Padfoot's tummy?".
Death started to laugh histerically. "Well, that is my que to leave. It was nice meeting you both. And good luck" He said as he vanished, leaving the thre of them, with a very curious six year old boy.
