A Call to Arms

Othorion Gilleth

Othorion, Orion as he is known in the pits, was working as a referee during one of the many rank fights that were taking place. Most Gheyo wanted to work hard to earn any rank changes so that they could be established before the next hunt came around. He smirked at the referee across from him. Greta Deveraine, Blood Rayne, the two of them had been keeping their eye on the little storm queen as she ranked up. She would not be staying in the rank of a queen. She had every intention of ranking up to an Ace. Orion and Greta agreed that with some work and patience, she would get there.

He was a Nameless but he had an affinity for storms. He would have been doing his damnedest to give Greta a run for the title but as a Nameless he couldn't. It didn't keep them from sparing together and they had even been in an exhibition match together once. Greta had won but he had made her work for it. They stepped away from their posts as the little queen finished her match with a win.

"It was a good match. She is doing well," Greta commented. Orion grunted in the affirmative.

"Yeah, I bet she will rank up before the Hunt is over," Orion replied. He watched the fighters as they were tended to by healers.

"Speaking of The Hunt, are you going to be hunting this season little Alpha? I am sure there has to be at least one Submissive out there that will catch your eye." Greta teased.

"I am not going to actively hunt, but if the opportunity presents itself I won't turn it down. My Mera has been extra pushy this year. I think I am the only one of my of-age siblings that isn't bonded yet," He smiled and then frowned. He felt a pull in his chest and could faintly hear a cry on the air. He drew a sword in each hand. Greta stood straighter and looked around.

"What is it Orion?" She asked. Other Gheyo were responding to his sudden alertness.

"Soulscream, guess my mom is going to get her wish after all," He joked as he was flashed away in a blinding light. Greta chuckled and pulled her hand away from her weapon. She finished up her duties and headed out of the pits. Her ten years were finished. She was going to find Ilsa. A message bubble appeared in front of her. When she answered it she snickered. Apparently, one of her children had also been taken by a soulscream. The odds of it being two separate screams were slim to none. She ported to Ilsa and Aracle to get ready to follow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ariki Deveraine

"You are doing amazing Meg. Keep up the good work," Ariki praises the young Kadel. The small girl beamed a smile at him as she flew another lap around the training grounds. Ariki had a class going on currently and once he was finished with the young ones he had a few older dragel coming that wanted to practice a few stunts so that they could learn as many new ones as possible before the next hunt came around.

"Ariki!" He turned at the sound of his voice. His sister Soula and his mother Ilsa were coming toward him with a picnic basket. "We came to have lunch with you in between your lessons today," Soula announced to him. He waved and held up five fingers. He only needed five minutes to get things finished up here. Ariki turned back to his few students.

"All right guys and girls bring it in." Ariki smiled as they all flew up to him and landed in a line. Just like he taught them. Only one or two wobbled on their landing. "Class is over today. Remember, none of you are ready to be flying on your own yet. So, only fly with an adult and make sure you are doing the wing stretches that we practiced. That will help you to build muscle strength. Did everyone have fun today?" There was a chorus of 'yes teacher' and then he dismissed them and headed over to where his sister and mom had sat up their picnic.

"I have about an hour before my next class shows. They can run through their stretches alone but then I have to go. It is good to see you both," He leaned a pressed a kiss to both of their cheeks with a smile. He settled on the blanket and started making him a plate.

"How have you been?" Ilsa asked him. She was not always around. She had left a long time ago and had done her best to avoid her own circle because of some horrible drama that had happened. Before Ariki could answer he dropped his plate and looked back at her in surprise.

"Mom, Soulscream," Was all he managed before he was flashed away.

"Shit, Soula get this picked up, please. I am going to let the other instructor know that Ariki is gone and can't cover his class. Then I am going to send a message to Greta and Aracle. I will port you home first," Then she headed into the school. Soula cleaned up and waited. Ilsa came back and pressed a kiss to her daughter's head and then ported her home before going to meet up with Aracle and Greta. They would be following Ariki as soon as they could.

Quinn and Wikhn

Wikhn had just finished removing an over-anxious Alpha from a patient room. It was fun. The Alpha had not wanted to go quietly or calmly. Those were always Wikhn's favorite troublemakers. He had been a title holder in the pits before he had been put on healer duty in the clinic. He was itching for a good fight. He knew that his eyes would mimic that bloodlust that he could feel just below the surface.

"Stop smiling like that, you are scaring people," His Ace spoke up. He turned to look at Dahlia and smirked.

"Good, I like it when they are a little bit afraid," He told her. She rolled her eyes and then smacked him in the back of the head.

"Behave," She said in a stern voice. "Oh I need to take my break so can you keep an eye on Quinn and his patients for me for just a little bit?" Wikhn nodded. Then he felt a pull and looked at Dahlia expectantly. She didn't feel it. Then his face turned to one of dawning horror. He was being called by a soulscream, but she wasn't. He pulled his sword from its sheath just as Kyle busted out of his exam room.

"Quinn was just called by a soulscream," He yelled to Dahlia just in time for Wikhn to flash away. He would keep an eye out for the healer. "Oh no," Kyle said as he watched the scene in front of him. Dahlia and Mei looked horrified but resigned. There was no way they were going to let him fight a soulbond. Especially, since Dahlia had been considering a rank change.

"Call whoever you need to and let them know. I am assuming you are going to want to come with us to them," Dahlia told Kyle. He nodded. "I am going to let Matron Olivia know what is going on. Be ready in ten." Then she was striding off. Kyle bustled off to call Bharin. The Joker was there in minutes. Then they waited for Dahlia to come back.

Ethan, Raspen, Peryton, Rathal

"This is wonder information Scholar Hartwood," Peryton praised as he read over the latest paper that had been written by Ethan. He had been collecting data on the Immortals. It seemed important right now.

"I agree, this is excellent work," Raspen stated absently as he finished up the reading. Ethan inclined his head and blushed just a little. He knew the work was good, the praise always caught him a bit off guard.

"Thank you, My Princes. It was a pleasure to be chosen to do the research," He bowed as much as he could from his sitting position. Ethan, as a Pareya, noticed as they started to shift a little in discomfort. He could also feel the pull in his chest a bit as well. There was an almost silent cry that seemed to be heard by only three others in the room besides himself.

"Prince Raspen, I think there has been a soulscream," The Ace guard that had been standing near the door stood to attention and drew his blades. Ethan stood and pulled both of the prince's up with him. He had seen them both rub their chests and give each other a look.

"Stay close to the Pareya, I will defend you all," Rathal stated. Ethan flicked out his giant wings and wrapped them around himself and the two royals. He sighed as he felt the ace at his back and then they were porting away.

He could hear the sounds of chaos and battle. The sounds of more portals opening up was also a sign of just how large this particular circle was going to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hadrian Maruke

Hadrian was sitting with Mariana and a few others from her circle. He was bored out of his mind and quite a bit irritated that she was keeping him from fighting as a punishment. He knew he probably deserved it but that was beside the point. She could have picked almost anything else. Even a few run-throughs of her gauntlet. He was watching the fight that Orion and Greta were refereeing for. He would love to get in the ring with either one of them.

"You are pouting, stop it," Mariana stated with a hint of amusement in her tone. Of course, she thinks it's funny. She knows how he feels about being idle in the pits.

"Not pouting," He said. Knowing full well he was in fact pouting.

They sat and watched to rest of the match and then Hadrian felt a pull in his chest and could hear a distant scream. He sighed.

"A soulscream," He simply stated as he pulled his shadows close and braced himself for the portal.

Mariana watched him flash away and grinned. This would be interesting depending on what kind of little submissive just called the Blood Raven. She gathered her circle and headed home to grab her Alpha and then port to her contracted ACE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lukas Rowland and Zenith

"Zen," Zenith turned at the sound of his voice. He was on patrol with his partner. Zen and Lukas had been partnered together only once before. Other then that, they didn't know much about each other.

"Yeah, Lukas what is it?" Zen answered.

"We should be about ready to take a break, yeah? To eat?" Lukas called out. Zen smiled that was something he definitely remembered about the man. Always hungry. He always had snacks and didn't let anyone forget when it was time to eat.

"Just about, we will need to meet up with the others to let them know to cover our area while we are gone," Zen replied. Lukas smiled and flapped his pretty white wings a little faster. Zen shook his head and followed. Whatever Ace Lukas ended up bonded to was going to have to be prepared to woo him with food. They were just coming up on the other two on patrol when the two of them paused.

"I think we should brace," Lukas called. He pressed a hand to his chest and tilted his head as if he could hear something. Zen could hear it too. The two of them stopped flying and pulled out weapons.

"Soulscream," Zen called to the Dragel across the way. They needed to be warned so that a new patrol could be called to take their places. Then they were gone in a flash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Charlie was hunting for Harry with Draco, Blaise, Fred, and George. Somehow the little submissive had gotten away from them when they were distracted. Charlie and the others knew exactly what Harry was even though he had been working hard to hide it.

About a year ago there had been a blow-up in their household when Death Eaters had attacked and almost gotten Ginny. Molly had turned into a Dragel and killed the Death Eaters. The conversation that had followed had been quite awkward. Their father had not abandoned them but he had started using another room for a while. Finally, they had all worked it out together.

Molly and Arthur as well as the goblins had performed the proper rituals to unseal the children. Bill had been too old so he had only gained magic. All of the rest had been given a choice. Dragel like their mother or Torvak like their father. Charlie, Fred, George, and Ginny had all chosen to become Dragel. Percy and Ron had chosen Torvak, like their father.

They had been learning about what it meant to be Dragel and everything that went along with it. Charlie was a Beta, Fred and George were Pareya, and Ginny was a Submissive. When they had come across the three Slytherins they had known immediately that they were also Dragel. Neville and Luna had come a little bit after that, Neville was a Dragel like the rest of them but Luna was a Fae.

The group of them looked after each other. It had been that way for months now. All of them had given each other knowing looks when they had come to Hogwarts and immediately recognized Harry's scent. From the way he was acting, he had clearly been alone for a bit and so they had begun spiking his tea and other drinks with blood to help him without being obvious about what they were doing.

They had all been doing their best to look after him. They had no way of knowing just how much Harry knew about what he was or what he needed. So here they were looking for him. It was just like Harry to sacrifice himself for everyone else and they couldn't allow him to do that. They had agreed that they would expose themselves to the world before they would allow Harry to die for people who would throw him to the wolves at the first opportunity.

Neville and Theo were keeping an eye on Ginny and Luna while the others searched. Then Charlie felt a pull in his soul. He stopped and saw that the others had as well.

"Something is wrong with Harry," Draco said with only a bit of panic in his voice. The others all made noises of agreement.

"Draw your wands or weapons. Remember when mum told us about soulscreams? I think that is what this is," Charlie stated.

"Find Harry when we get there," Blaise stated calmly. "Keep him safe."

Then, they were all gone in a flash. When they touched down it was to the sight of Harry wielding a sword with armor-plated wings launching himself at a shocked Voldemort. Blaise went straight for the nearest Death Eater. Charlie began to trade spell fire with the Death Eaters as others began to port in and join the fight.

"Fred, George" Draco called out as he started moving. He had spotted the reason for Harry's battle cry. Teddy was still in the shield but he was crying. Near hysterical. The twins were with him in moments and they were joined by another Dragel. This one was larger with short dark brown hair and golden eyes. His wings were a beautiful chocolate color with armor plating. A Gheyo.

"The youngling?" He asked as he impaled a Death Eater that had gotten too close.

"Our Submissive's," Draco told him quickly. The Gheyo seemed to become even more serious. Fought more ferociously to get to the crying child. When they reached the barrier it dissolved the moment Draco touched it. He pulled the crying toddler into his arms. Fred and George snapped their wings out and surrounded them.

"Do you see the very large wings over there?" The Gheyo pointed. Draco nodded. " That is Ethan, he is also a Pareya. There is a healer and two of our other new circle in his wings. Let's get the youngling there so he can be looked over."

"Sounds like a plan...." "...lead the way handsome." The twins told him with a grin. Rathal grinned back and began leading them to the others. Once they got there the Gheyo chirped and the wings opened just enough for Draco to slip in. Fred and George stayed to the outside and helped to guard those in the middle with their wings. Ethan looked grateful.

"A child?" One of the other men with pretty brown curls asked surprised. "In the middle of a battle, what happened here?"

"We are in the middle of a war with a madman. He has been targeting Harry, our little warrior submissive out there since he was fifteen months old. This is our Harry's son. The stupid madman must have thought threatening him would be a good idea and very quickly learned otherwise," Draco snarked.

A blonde man with mesmerizing teal eyes walked up and held his hand out. As if asking for permission to touch him. Draco looked at him for a moment.

"He is a master healer. His name is Quinn Kalzik he is mute. He can communicate with you in your mind if you allow him to touch you," Ethan offered as an explanation. Draco nodded then.

Is the boy hurt?

"I don't really know. We only got here just before the rest of you did. He doesn't seem to be hurt, just upset. He honestly probably won't truly calm until he is with Harry," Draco told him.

May I run a simple diagnostic on him just to make sure.

"Yes, go ahead." Draco agreed. It sounded like the fight outside was slowing down. They should have a few answers soon. Draco felt the gentle touch of magic flow over Teddy.

He seems perfectly fine. Other than high levels of stress.

"Yeah well, that is completely understandable considering his Mera is currently out there fighting,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry stared with relief and glee at the severed head of his tormentor. He had done it. Voldemort was dead. Now he needed to finish this and get to his son. He turned and was a bit shocked to see how many had come to his call. His circle, his bonded. He watched as Draco, Fred, and George with his terrified Teddy, followed a Gheyo and were safely hidden away inside the largest, prettiest, wings he had ever seen. There was a Gheyo standing watch over them and that put Harry's mind at ease for now.

He felt a tingle of magic and was about to duck the spell when he was pulled into the arms of someone who felt very safe to him. He looked up into violet eyes and grinned. He was too high on bloodlust to be shy right now. He always got this way after fighting with Death Eaters. Hermione would watch Teddy and let him go on a run or for a swim or whatever physical thing he could do to work it off.

"Hi," Harry told the man, His Alpha, his instincts were screaming at him. He nuzzled as close as he could between the Alpha's armor and the two of them still holding weapons.

"Hey Little Warrior, are you ok? How are you feeling?" The Alpha asked him kindly. Harry grinned up at him.

"I feel amazing, more than even. You have no idea the relief I am feeling at that awful man's death," Harry told him. He was near vibrating out of his skin. The Alpha smiled down at him and then he turned Harry in his arms so that his back was pressed to his chest. They looked out over the clearing to see that every Death Eater was dead or dying.

"Do you know if any escaped?" Harry asked out loud to those who were beginning to draw closer. "I will need to inform the Order so that the Ministry can be on the look out for them."

"I don't know what happened before we arrived but after we got here, none escaped," A tall slender man in black armor with a black mask with feathers in it spoke up. "Each threat in the clearing was tagged by a shadow the moment we ported here. All of them were accounted for,"

"Perfect, well done. You all just helped end a war that I have been fighting since I was eleven. Well, I guess technically my first run-in with him was during the first war when I was fifteen months old, when he killed my parents and tried to kill me too. Long story, anyways. It is over now for the most part," Harry prattled. He rambled, he couldn't seem to stop himself.

"Harry," Charlie called and strode quickly to the pair. He gently pulled to sword out of his hands and made him look at him. Harry's eyes were wide and his breathing too fast. Shock and panic all at once. "You are ok, It's fine now. You are finally safe, Harry. Take a deep breath," Harry suddenly had tears streaming down his face. It was over. He wasn't dead.

"I am safe. I killed him, Charlie. He threatened Teddy. He threatened my son," Harry told Charlie in desperation.

"He regretted that, didn't he, My Love? He should have known better than to threaten your baby. Now he can never do it again. Look at all of the people who came to your call. People who will defend your Teddy with their lives." Charlie soothed Harry. He wiped the tears from Harry's face and pressed a kiss to his forehead.

"Thank you, Charlie. Is Teddy okay? Can I see him now?" Harry asked him. Charlie looked him over.

"Let's get the blood cleaned up first yeah? He is too little to see all of that," Harry looked down at himself in horror. He was covered in blood. He looked around and saw that the others were too. He pulled away from Charlie.

"I would appreciate it if everyone would clean the blood off of themselves. I don't want Teddy to see it. We are going to clean ourselves up and then move to a different area away from the dead bodies. We will send others back for them," Harry told them. "I want that head though. Proof that he is gone." Then Harry felt Charlie use a spell to clean him and he walked away to get the wand that was his. He had all three Hallows now. If the myth had any truth to it, he was now the Master of Death.

The man in the mask retrieved the head, wrapped it up, and placed it in a weird stone.

"From what I can tell we are in the Forbidden Forest just a mile or so from the castle. In that direction," Charlie pointed to the North. Harry nodded and reached out for his Alpha. The dark-haired man came forward and took his hand.

"I am Harry, by the way," Harry told him with a smile. "And you, My Alpha?"

"Othorion Gilleth, but please my feisty little Warrior, call me Orion. You will take the time to truly explain what we were called to won't you?" Orion stated with a pointed look. "It sounds like quite the story." Harry grinned up at him.

"Oh, you have no idea, " Harry told them as they all began to make their way out of the clearing. When they stepped out of the forest, Harry was not surprised to see all of the people standing in the courtyard with wands drawn.

"It's Harry," Someone shouted and wands began to lower.

"It's ok everyone. It is done. Voldemort is dead. Every Death Eater with him is dead," Harry called out. There was a cheer that went up through those present. Harry grinned and watched as Draco came to him with Teddy in his arms.

"D..Daddy," Teddy called through his tears. Harry reached out and took the toddler into his arms and nuzzled him. He took a deep sniff to see that he smelled fine and then cast his own wandless wordless diagnostic spell to check him for injuries. Harry sighed and a tension in his shoulders released that he didn't realize was still there. Orion wrapped his arms around both of them and took his own deep inhale of the toddler. He wanted to make sure that it was imprinted on his mind and that he would never forget it and always recognize the boy as family.

"Ssh, Teddy Bear, it's ok now. I have you," Harry told the sniffling boy. Harry felt Orion rumble soothingly to the toddler. He lifted his head and smiled brightly at his new Alpha. Teddy calmed completely and then was soon sleeping peacefully even with all of the noise around them. Harry felt someone step close to them he turned and saw a dark man with bright golden eyes.

"Harry, I am Ethan, I am a Pareya. May I cast a silencing spell over him to keep him sleeping through the noise? He could dearly use the rest," Ethan asked in a quiet gentle voice. Harry smiled up at him and nodded. The Pareya gently carded his fingers through the boy's hair and Harry felt the spell gently wash over him.

"Thank you, Ethan. Today has been stressful for him," Harry looked up at the Pareya still wrapped in his Alpha's arms. The man didn't seem inclined to let Harry away from him anytime soon. Harry was perfectly fine with that.

"Mr. Potter, if I might have a private word with you?" Professor McGonagall asked him. She was a bit concerned about the new people. Harry had given no indication that he had allies outside of the order. Especially, ones in full medieval armor carrying weapons.

"Whatever you need to say to me can be said in front of Orion, Professor," Harry told her with a smile. Charlie came over to them followed by three men that Harry hadn't seen yet. McGonagall was a smart woman she knew when to pick her battles. She had seen a lot in her very long life and she could see the scales that still covered the flesh of some of the men that had come out of the forest with Harry. She had seen Dragel before. Had even helped a few hide themselves when they had come to Hogwarts. She was just surprised that Harry was one.

"Very well Mr. Potter. Why don't you and your men come into the castle we will go to the trophy room for privacy since the Great Hall is occupied. We will have just the order members come so that it can be explained only once," Minerva asked. Harry was about to agree when the air suddenly felt charged.

"Incoming portals," One of the men next to Charlie called out. "Make sure your people know that the threat is gone. Everything is safe." Harry let out a loud whistle. Everyone stopped and turned toward them.

"Keep your wands lowered or put away. There are about to be more people coming in. They are not a threat do not make them think you are either," Harry called out. Then portals began to arrive. The first to arrive had a short stocky woman in armor with a taller woman also in armor and a nice-looking man.

"Oretta," Was called out at the same time that one of the men with Charlie called out "Mother." The man and Charlie with him strode off to meet the woman as Theo joined them. Harry smiled as both men were pulled into tight hugs and fussed over.

The next portal that came in was a group of people mostly in black with shadows that seemed to stretch out from them. His masked man broke away to head to that group. The next portal contained two women in armor, a green-haired man, and a very tall black man with dreads. Two more of his people headed for them, a pale man with pink eyes and a blonde with teal eyes.

The last two portals contained the most people. The last two people that had been with Charlie plus the dragel that he had seen leading Draco and the others during the battle headed for those two groups. Harry just stood in the arms of his Alpha still. Draco, Fred, George, and Ethan all stayed around them in case they needed anything. The other Gheyo and bonded members also stayed close to them.

" 'M getting tired," Harry said quietly as he rested his head on Orion's shoulder with Teddy still pressed between them. Then he was shifted and scooped up into Orion's arms.

"Rest then, Little Warrior," Orion stated and then pressed a kiss to his head. Harry purred and pressed his face into the Alpha's neck.

"We can show you to his room If you like?" Draco told the Alpha.

"I will let the others explain things to their families and then we will all go together. He will rest better if we are all together," Orion answered. "They can rest in my arms for now. A soulscream is draining."

"Of course, just so you know, the room he stays in is completely secure. No one can get in unless Harry is with them. It is sealed with Parseltongue and he is the only known speaker in all of Britain." Draco told him.

"Yeah our Harrykins has been on the road for so long...." "....that he has a hard time trusting or relaxing." The twins added.

"Orion," The Alpha looked up and grinned at the Gheyo standing across from him. "He is very cute, both of them, from what Ariki told me he is quite the little fighter. A Gheyo Submissive."

"He is both adorable and fierce. I think that he is perfect. Going to keep us on his toes. Going based on the looks others have been sending this way, I would say that he is quite popular here."

"Oh, he is." A short redheaded girl and a blonde girl were standing next to them with a tall dark-haired boy hovering behind them. Theo stepped up to them and stood next to the boy. Ilsa, Aracle, and Ariki also came back. Ariki stepped up, ran a hand through Harry's hair, and touched the cheek of the sleeping toddler.

"How so?" Orion asked.

"He is the Boy-Who-Lived, the Chosen One, or the Savoir depending on who you talk to. Though he hates those names, so I wouldn't call him that." The redhead told them.

"He is the only known person to ever survive the Killing Curse. He was only fifteen months old. That is where the scar on his forehead came from. A prophecy was made before his birth that he would be the only one capable of killing the Dark Lord. Which by the way we all think is bullshit. The woman who gave to prophecy was nothing but a...." Draco was getting angrier the more he thought about it. He was cut off though by Blaise walking up and placing a hand on his shoulder.

"It's all right, Draco, he is gone we are all ok now," The Gheyo Joker told him. Draco turned into him and Blaise wrapped an arm around him. "We are all a bit traumatized," He told the Alpha and those standing with them. Charlie walked up and put a hand on both of their shoulders. Fred and George came up beside them.

"We have been through a lot. It hasn't been easy going for almost everyone here. The twins and I just lost a brother barely an hour ago," Charlie told them. "We could all use some rest honestly." Orion nodded and Greta and Ilsa exchanged looks.

"Well if the threat has been taken care of then how about we wrangle your other new bonded and send them your way? You all can get some rest and then we can make plans for whatever in the morning. This place looks big enough to cater to us all," Ilsa stated firmly.

"It is," Harry spoke up suddenly. He lifted his head from Orion's neck and blinked at them all. "I will have Ravenclaw Tower prepared," Harry stated and wiggled to be set down. He turned and handed Teddy to Draco.

"Kreacher," Harry called. The elf popped in a moment later with Lolly. Kreacher looked devastated and Lolly looked like she had been crying.

"Master Harry, We has been searching for the little Master. Tiply put Kreacher and Lolly to sleep and took the young Master. We failed you, Master," Kreacher wailed a bit and bowed. Harry gently reached out and pulled the elf up.

"Kreacher, Teddy is safe. Look, see there, Draco has him sleeping safe and sound. You didn't fail. You weren't expecting Tiply to attack you," Harry told the elf sternly. Kreature looked up at him with tears.

"Master Harry is just as kind as Master Regulus always was to Kreacher," Kreacher told him with a sniffle. Then he launched himself into Harry's legs and held him tightly. Orion and Ariki both reached out and steadied him. Harry could hear their chuckles and rolled his eyes.

"I have a favor to ask Kreacher if you and Lolly wouldn't mind?" Harry asked the elf. Both of them perked up.

"Of course, Master Harry. Kreacher and Lolly being very happy to help," Kreacher told him proudly.

"I need you two to put Ravenclaw Tower in order for guests. Maybe see if they have any Pareya that can go with you to make sure that everything is to their specifications," Harry told the elves. "Actually, I will ask." Then, Harry was striding off toward the largest group of Dragel. He heard a chuckle behind him but paid it no mind. He moved up between his two bonded that he had seen with Charlie earlier. Plus, they felt like his. He pressed close to the one with brown curls and golden eyes.

"Hello, Harry," He said as he wrapped an arm around him and pulled him close. Harry smiled up at him.

"Doesn't seem very fair, you all know my name but I don't know any of yours," Harry teased.

"I am Raspen, he is Peryton," Raspen offered with a smile. "It is nice to meet you, Harry."

"Are any of the people that came for you two Pareya?" Harry asked. Raspen nodded and three people stepped forward. "I would like you to go with my elves. They are setting up one of the towers for you all to stay in for the night. I figured it would be best if a Pareya or two went with them to ensure that everything is done properly for you. My bonded and I are going to be retiring for the night very soon. We can discuss whatever needs it first thing in the morning after breakfast." There were a few laughs heard from those there and Raspen pressed a kiss to his head.

"Of course, we will happily help make sure the tower is ready for the rest. Are you staying in the Tower as well? It would be better so that our Gheyo can guard the Princes'," One of the Pareya spoke up.

"No, I am staying in a room that is ...... did you say Princes'?" Harry stopped mid-sentence. He looked up at the man who had his arms still wrapped around him and the man next to him.

"Yes, I am Crown Prince of the Earthen courts," Raspen answered.

"I am Prince Peryton of the Air courts." The man next to him offered. Harry blanched. Royalty, he had called royalty to him when he had screamed. Harry blushed and looked down for a moment before lifting his head back up. It hadn't been his choice, he had not chosen them, Fate had chosen them for him.

"What is the difference?" Harry asked. Raspen looked at him questioningly. "You introduced yourself as a crown prince he just said, prince. I am assuming it was not an accident," Harry clarified.

"Of course. You see Raspen will inherit the crown and become King when his father steps down. While I am a prince, I will not inherit the crown, Nevarah chose my younger sister. She is the Crown Princess. So, the difference is one day he will be King, and I never will be," Peryton offered. Harry smiled back up at him. He didn't know what that meant for them but they would figure it out.

"Thank you for the explanation. Anyway, I stay in the most secure rooms in the castle. Both of them will be perfectly safe with me. Safer than they would be in any other part of the castle. There is no one in Britain that could enter my rooms unless I open them myself," Harry told them. "So if you would please follow Kreacher and Lolly they will take you to the tower to get it ready." The Pareya smiled indulgently and headed off with the elves to get the tower ready.

"Quite the bossy one we have here don't we?" Peryton teased and Harry blushed ducking his head.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to overstep or anything," Harry told them. Raspen tightened his hold.

"You didn't overstep. You did perfectly," Raspen told him. "Perry is only teasing."

"Of course, I am. Let's get back to the rest of our bonded. Maybe we can take the time for a few introductions while we wait for rooms to be ready for the others," Peryton offered holding out his hand. Harry smiled and reached out for it. Three Gheyo stepped up behind them to follow along as well a the healer that Draco had pointed out. The rest of his stray bonded. Harry smiled brightly and felt a bit more at peace once they were all together. He went back into Orion's arms. He felt the most comfortable with his Alpha for the time being.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twenty minutes later found them sitting in an area a bit away from the others so that they could have a bit of privacy. Harry was sitting in Orion's lap with Charlie on one side and on the other was a tall slender man with honey-gold curls and brown eyes. Everyone was spread from there in a circle.

"Well I will start, I guess since it is kinda my fault you are all here. I am Harry Potter, obviously I am a Submissive. The toddler is Edward Remus Potter, but he goes by Teddy. He is mine in every way but blood. We can talk about that more later," Harry started off.

His Alpha went next. "I am Othorion Gilleth, I go by Orion, I am a Nameless Gheyic Alpha ." He leaned down and nuzzled Harry who purred and snuggled closer. This is what he had been missing his entire life. The only person who ever hugged him or even truly just casually touched him was Hermione. He was going to soak it all in. Also he hadn't had a proper realignment cycle since Hermione's death either. Or blood. He was not as healthy as he could be for a Dragel. That would change now that he was surrounded by a circle who would care for him and Teddy.

"Ariki Deveraine, Earth with an Air affinity. Beta. Also I am a flight instructor," The pretty blonde with the curls sitting next to him went next.

"Hadrian Maruke, Shadow Ace," The masked man stated.

"Blood Raven," One of the other Gheyo stated with a bit of reverence in his tone. The masked man nodded.

"Is that a title?" Harry asked.

"Each court has a champion. The Gheyo who is the best fighter of that element. They are called Blood Titles. Hadrian is the Blood Title holder the Shadow Courts," Raspen explained for him. Harry smiled and then looked proudly at Hadrian. He needed good fighters if his luck was anything to go by.

"Thank goodness for that. We will need good fighters to help keep Harry safe. He has been a magnet for trouble as since birth I think," Draco laughed. Harry shrugged when people turned to look at him. It was true he had literally just been thinking the same thing.

"He isn't wrong," Harry stated. "We should keep going."

"Zenith or Zen either is fine honestly. Air Gheyo." He was tall and willowy with long white hair done up in what Harry would call Viking braids. He had really pretty ice blue eyes with bits of grey in them.

"Ethan Hartwood, I am a Pareya. Earth is my element. I am a Royal Scholar," The dark dragel with golden eyes.

"You are the one with the really pretty ombre wings. They are lovely," Harry told him and watched as Ethan flushed a bit.

"Thank you," Ethan gently spoke.

"He is Fred..." "...He is George..." "...Fire Pareya..." "...at your service." The twins went next. Harry smiled at them. They were his. He had always cared for Fred and George and they had always looked after him.

"Trouble makers, those two. You need to make sure that you are careful about the candies or food that you take from them. They are pranksters and very good at it," Charlie spoke up. The twins groaned and fake sobbed on each other getting chuckles from others around the circle.

"Wikhn, Gheyo," He was tall, taller than Charlie and more muscled too. He had pale skin, dark hair, and pretty pink eyes. He had a dangerous edge to him but Harry thought he was lovely.

"Sage, Shadow Gheyo I am also half werewolf," He said it as if that would be a reason for Harry to turn from him. Harry smiled at him.

"My Teddy's biological father was a werewolf. He was also one of my favorite people in the whole world and one of my father's best friends. If you are expecting judgment here, you won't get any. And anyone who does judge you will find themselves at the end of my blade or claws," Harry told him vehemently. Sage smiled and inclined his head at him.

"Thank you, Harry." Harry smiled at him brightly.

"Blaise Zabini, Storm Joker," Blaise went next with his pretty purple eyes. Harry had never looked at Blaise that way but he was definitely not opposed to it. Blaise had always been very nice to look at and had never been overly mean or malicious.

"Cyrren, Storm Gheyo," He was pretty with dark hair and violet eyes. Just like Blaise's but they seemed to flash as if there was lightning behind them. Harry was a bit mesmerized and the Gheyo smirked when Harry blushed.

"Xavier, I am an Earth Mage," He was tall with light brown hair and golden eyes. Harry could feel the power from him. It was a nice steady grounding thrum or magic.

"Brishen, Joker," He was dark-skinned with bright blue eyes. He was lovely to look at.

"I am Magnus, I am a full-blooded born werewolf. I will be claiming companion rank." He was tall with dyed green hair that was long on top pulled into a ponytail with an undercut, and amber-colored eyes. He was also scarred in some of the same ways that Remus was. Having him and Sage around would be good for Teddy. He didn't know what kind of were tendencies Teddy would have but they could help with them.

"I am called Fawkes. Fire Joker." The man with red hair like flames and orange eyes. Harry really looked at him.

"Fawkes, I know a phoenix with that name. He saved my life a few times." Harry told him while still staring at him. The Joker grinned.

"Yeah, I did. I quite enjoyed scratching out the Basilisks' eyes for you," Fawkes told him and many of the people around the circle startled.

"Basilisk?" His Alpha gave him a look. Harry blushed.

"Well, they did tell you that I am a bit of a trouble magnet. Plus, Fawkes has saved my life quite a few times actually. He always seems to know exactly where I am." Harry told them. Fawkes grinned.

"Considering the fact that the wand you have carried since you were eleven was created with my feather, it has always been very easy to find you when you needed me. Plus, my tears still swim in your veins." Harry smiled.

"Thank you, Fawkes. For every time you have ever saved my and Teddy's lives." Harry told him very seriously.

"It was always and will always be my pleasure," The Joker told him. Harry blushed and smiled shyly.

"Declan, Earth Joker. It is good to meet you, Little Warrior," He was of average height with sandy blonde colored hair with the golden eyes that were common with the Earth types.

"It is great to meet you too," Harry told him.

"Riven, Storm mage, I am also a Realmwalker and a Spellweaver," He was exceedingly tall with snow-white hair and violet eyes. He carried a large staff with an eye at the top.

"Peryton, Prince of the Air Courts. I will be taking the role of Advisor," He smiled gently at Harry.

"Raspen, Crowned Prince of the Earth Courts. I of course will be taking the rank of Royal," He smiled and acknowledged the few 'Your Highness' or 'My Prince' that were said around the circle just like they had with Peryton. Harry was still a bit intimidated by the fact that he had honest-to-Merlin, Royalty in his circle. He would have to sit down with someone later and talk about what that meant for them all.

"Rathal, Earth Ace, I have been on Raspen's security detail for many years," He stated quietly with a wink at the Crowned Prince. Raspen blushed just a bit. Harry grinned he was glad that some of his bonded had history together, it would make things easier.

His suite went next in order. They seemed to have it a little more together than Hadrian's suite. Orion would make sure that they settled that quickly. He would not have any suites in his circle not working the way that they should. He would, of course, respect the Ace and allow him the time to work it out first. He may even let his feisty little submissive have a go at them before he gets involved.

There was Lukas Rowland an Air King, Arran Ferrel a Storm Queen, Jasper Cummings a Fire Prince, and Kyron an Earth Princess. Each of them was friendly and oh-so handsome. Harry listened as each of them introduced themselves and gave them all of his attention as the spoke. The next in line was the pretty blonde healer. Instead of talking, however, he leaned over and placed a hand on Draco's arm. Draco smiled and nodded. Harry thought that was a bit odd but waited.

"This is Quinn Kalzik. He is a Healer and will be taking that Rank in our circle. He is mute and cannot speak. He says we can have bracelets made that we can wear that will forge a link between him and us or his family can help create a permanent bond so that we can speak with him in our minds. Whichever we choose he will respect. I am Draco Malfoy, I am a Pareya, Air." Draco said in his poshest voice. Harry fought a laugh.

In a way, it made every bit of sense that Draco would be his. Draco had always been Harry's just like Harry had always been Draco's. The two of them had orbited each other like planets since they were eleven. Draco rolled his eyes at Harry. He just grinned at him and winked. Draco blushed and scowled at him.

"Charlie Weasley, I am also a Beta, though, between Orion, Ariki, and myself, I think we decided that I would most likely use the rank of Rheyo. I used to be a Dragon Tamer in Romania. I guess that is everyone accounted for except for you." Charlie stated confidently nodding his head to the very blue man with fluted ears and blue hair. The Merrow scowled at Charlie.

"Alec, Merrow obviously." He stated and that was that. He said no more, just stood leaning against a tree with his arms crossed like he would rather be anywhere else. Harry scowled at him.

"I bet, if you actually smiled or maybe just didn't scowl you would be very handsome," Harry told him. Alec scoffed but he quirked his lip into a small smile before he forced it away and the scowl returned. It was fleeting but Harry had seen it. Harry grinned at him.

Harry looked around at them all. They were twenty-nine strong. They were his and he was theirs. This right here was the start of the rest of his life. He was going to take Teddy and go with these men, his bonded, his circle, and they were going to go to Nevarah and never look back. He had no ties to the wizarding world and he would not miss it. Ethan explained to him that he would need to exchange claim marks with all of his circle before they could leave for Nevarah so he would start either tonight if he felt up to it or he would start tomorrow.

Nothing and no one was going to stop him from getting away from this place that had only ever caused him pain.
