Thread: Adderstrike(HP)Church/Moon

Harry smirked as he studied the man in front of him. Severus Snape, Harry had heard stories of this man and his amazing skills at Potions. the 'Grandfather' Roland, had been Snape's personal mentor, and Roland was always telling Harry about Severus Snape. You may look upon me. Harry promised, his emerald eyes examining Snape intently, the man relaxing just a hair, glad to be trusted even though it had been a long time since he had been there. Roland speaks often of you, and with great fondness Severus Snape. Severus looked astonished by this and Harry chuckled. yes, Roland is still alive the old bastard, he'll be here tonight if your still around. now speak of what you wish of me. Harry ordered, Snape swallowing down his hatred of James potter. Harry was even more arrogant than his father, but unlike James, Harry Potter ha EARNED the right to be arrogant. he had been chosen to be King, and that meant Harry was powerful, intelligent, cruel, and kind, everything the Adderstrike King needed to be. My Lord, this is Blake. Snape introduced, Harry's eyes flicking over to the antagonistic youth standing next to Snape. he was with Zach... there was sudden, still, and complete silence as everyone turned to stare at Snape and Blake, Harry's voice going cold. what did you just say? Snape cringed and swallowed thickly. th...this is... never mind. Harry snapped with a wave of his hand, turning cold, angry eyes to the crowd of people all around him. Leave us! there was instant movement as everyone left, Harry sighing as he sank into his chair, closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Zach, was a traitor to the Adderstrike. Snape nearly choked on his tongue and he jerked in shock, nearly looking Harry in the eyes to try and find the memory of such a horrid thing. there is no betraying the Adderstrike! no one would... Zach kidnapped, mutilated, defiled, and then slaughtered no less than five of out teenagers, all around the same age, body, and appearance as Blake. Harry stated simply. he was using them in Dark Rituals, he was attempting to bring the Dark Lord Grindelwald back from the dead. Harry's voice and eyes had gone as cold as steal in the arctic. his eyes flicked to Blake again. the boy is lucky to be alive... i know. i have tried to explain... i did not know that Zach was Adderstrike... of course you didn't, that is the purpose of Adderstrike, to be unseen and unknown. you wish for me to take the boy in? yes. he is lost and angry, he needs an outlet and the training you provide could help him in his life. we do not force, Severus Snape. if Blake wishes to stay, then he can stay and become Family. we will not force him to stay here. like all Adderstrike brothers and sisters he will be free to leave whenever he pleases. i understand my lord, but here is his best hope. if he stays on his own for too much longer, the Auror's will catch on to him, and they will bind his magic and erase his memories... i know what the Aurors do. Harry stated as he stood, approaching Blaise and looking him over before nodding. Blake, please come with me. i will show you what Adderstrike offers you. Harry promised, turning and leading the way out. this building is old, but it is stronger than it looks. it's crappy on the outside and on the inside so people who are too nosy for their own good don't think to come in here. Harry explained, opening a door and motioning them inside. it was an elivator. as i am sure you are aware, you are a Wizard, a person capable of magic. you can do things that most people cannot, but you are not alone in the world with this ability. there is an entire world, along side the normal world, capable of what you, and i, and severus are capable of. these people are foolish and stupid, and would seek to use people like you and me. or worse, would seek to seal away the magic that we have, simply because they are afraid of us and our close connection to those who do not have magic. they fear what people might learn from us and our blending of magic and technology. the Adderstrike is a massive collection of people, just like you, who have been used, abused, or abandoned. many people here have Magic, and many people here do not. we work together to create a safe haven for everyone who needs one. the elevator came to a stop and when they stepped out, they where in a crisp, clean hotel like setting. fancy decorations, clean rugs, smooth white walls and the soft scent of food. this is just one of the many things that Magic is capable of. Harry admitted with a smile as he led the way around. these are the living areas. the upstairs is a... front, of sorts. Harry admitted. people expect thieves and assassins to live in squalor, and so we give them that image. when in reality we live very comfortably down below their feet. Snape smiled as he glanced at a door, touching it. this used to be my room. i shared with Asle and Loan. Harry chuckled a little and opened another door, this one leading into a massive gym complete with boxing ring and exercise equipment. we at Adderstrike, work hard to be the best at what we are. every 'hatchling' is assessed to see where their skills, and temperaments lay. some are more suited for theiving, some more suited to killing, some more suited to fighting and gaurding, and some are even best at healing, mixing poisons, or other such things. every person then is trained by out 'elders' senior Adderstrike Family members who have learned from the best, and then become the best. every generation of Adderstrike gets better, stronger, as every new member adds tot he collected knowladge and passes on their skills. Harry turned to Blake. Adderstrike is for life, it is a new start, a new family, a new beginning where we can teach you to harness your abilities and skills to become the best that you can be. Zach himself learned here, he learned how to be a Wizard here, as did Snape, who learned over five hundred different poisons simply by smell and sight alone. he also learned his impressive spying skills here. being a double, and even a triple agent is deadly, and not many survive beyond their first year. Snape is a legend amung Adderstrike for his amazing capabilities. that he braught you here means he must see something in you, something promising. Harry smiled as he led the way to a massive Kitchen, where Dozens of house elves and humans where working side by side to make that nights dinner. you both must be very hungry and tired. i invite you to stay for the night at least, so Blake can think about the offer of joining Adderstrike. he glanced at Blake and then chuckled. perhaps we will make it a week for him. he can stay for a week, decide if he likes what he sees or not, and then can leave or stay as he desires. Snape nodded. i would like that My Lord, thank you. do you still teach magic here? Snape asked, well aware that would catch Blake's attention. yes, every kind of magic, even the ones not... sanctioned, by those pompous puffbags you call the ministry of magic. all magic is taught here, including how to hide all traces of your magic. do you still teach martial arts? of course, it's no good to a Wizard if they can't defend themselves once their wand is taken away. Adderstrike Family are never victims. we teach them to kill anyone who dares harm them. he smirked a little. and if they themselves cannot kill those that hurt them, the Family will see justice done. he admitted simply, leading the way to a table. please, sit, the Cooks will have something done very soon for us. Harry promised, pondering why he thought Blake seamed so familiar. omg long...
