Months passed without Ciel nor Draco returning to Hogwarts. They suspected Dumbledore would be paying a visit to see why they didn't return and so Ciel prepared the servants with wands and years worth of spells in just under 3 weeks, Sebastian received no wand because why would he? He's a demon. Ciel sat in the dining hall, hard at work from essays he had received from the only professor now on his side: Snape. Ciel was shocked when he got the letter of explanation and grinned by the fact Snape said he hated 'Harry Potter' but not 'Ciel Hadrian Phantomhive'. Draco had finished his essays and was studying with Sebastian about how to protect the young master while the manor in under attack. Ciel didn't care to learn how to fight, he had it in his blood; he knew how to handle a gun and how to throw knives. 

"Now," Came Sebastian's voice from behind a highly alert Draco, "should an attacker come up from behind and takes the young master, what do you do?" 

Draco spun around, swinging the sword he had in his hand down past Sebastian's shoulder, "I retrieve him back safely even if it risks all I have!" He answered as he glared at Sebastian, who had barely dodged the swing.

"Very good Trancy, you're getting better. Now, if you and the young master are out somewhere and you are surrounded, how do you handle the situation?" The butler asked, smirking at how much better Draco is than he was in May. 

"If there is an opportunity to get out of there without a fight, I will take it! If i must fight," Draco pulls out a gun and shoots at Sebastian, who catches the bullet. "I will not lose!!" 

Sebastian nodded and clapped, "Congratulations Earl Trancy, you're getting better at your battle skills, someday you might even be better than maybe me and the young lord." Draco grinned triumphantly. 

"Thank you, Sebastian. Anyway, may I speak to you about the young lord?" Sebastian looked confused before nodding and leading Draco back to his room.

"What is it about the young lord you wanted to speak about Mr. Trancy?" Sebastian asked with a closed eye smile. Draco looked at him with a straight face.

"It's about your relationship with him. Surely you've noticed that Ciel's cheeks heat up more around you now? Surely you've heard the slight stutter in his voice when he speaks to you? Surely you know that Ciel likes you Sebastian?" Draco asked, his eyes never leaving the demons. 

Sebastian stared at him before chuckling and replying, "Yes, I did notice. I just thought it was a figure of my imagination. The young lord liking his butler in that way is strictly unheard of," Sebastian was then interrupted by the young blonde.

"But you're no proper butler, are you Sebastian?" Draco smirked and Sebastian heaved a sigh. 

"No I'm not. I am a demon, a evil being who prays on the weak and steals the souls through contract. If other demons were to find out that one of their kind was falling in love with their master then the one who was in love would be outcasted by all demons." 

Draco looked at Sebastian in shock but then grinned, "but you'll do it anyway wont you, butler?" Sebastian looked at the young blonde and nodded.

"Yes i would, after all a demon like me has grown up to be independent, I can live for decades without a soul. Other demons soon forget the stupid acts an outcasted demon after about a century." Sebastian explained.

Draco nodded, seemingly interested. "But the young master wont live a century will he, Sebastian?" Draco frowned, imagining the heartbreak Sebastian will feel in a few decades.

"Not unless I turn him into a demon, no, he will not live to see the year 2076." Sebastian sighed, not realizing that Ciel was overhearing the conversation. "I cannot cause my mater more pain than I already have. I do have feelings for him, our destinies intertwined since the moment Young Master was born." Ciel froze, Sebastian liked him in that way?! But that's insane! So why did he feel so.. happy?

"Ciel would like to hear what you have to say, let's go find him. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to hear you feel the same way that he does to you." Draco smiled and Ciel took off towards his office only to be met with darkness.

"Yes, Earl Trancy." Sebastian bowed then left with Draco for Ciel's office. Once there, Draco knocked on the door.

"Ciel? Are you in there? Cieeeellll????" Draco then slammed open the door to reveal Ciel nowhere in sight and the office looked searched or there was a struggle. "Sebastian! Let's find our young master!"

Sebastian's eyes flashed fuchsia and he growled, "Yes, Earl Trancy. But we must wait for the young master to call for me. Right now, lets fight the others." Draco nodded and sprinted off to find the servants so he could defend the manor with them.

"Wake up, Potter. You're supposed to be awake by now!" Came a very familiar voice. Ciel couldn't put a hand on it, though. 

"Wh-Where am I?" Ciel muttered, putting a hand to his head. His eyes adjusted to the light of the room to reveal Lord Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy and... a man that looked like him.

"Halfblood!" Bellatrix hollered, "Address Lord Riddle properly!!" Ciel flinched and Tom and the replica of him looked at him empathetically. 

"Peace, Bellatrix. If he is who I think he is then leave him alone." With that, Bellatrix backed down. Ciel looked at the man who spoke and his eyes widened, it was Voldemort. But he looked younger and non-snake-like.  

"Tom.. Tom Riddle... My father's love interest?" Ciel glared at Tom then the replica of him spoke up.

"Harry- no, Ciel Hadrian Phantomhive. Surely you remember me?" Ciel turned his gaze to the man, "I'm your father. I'm James Charles Phantomhive" Time around Ciel froze as he stared at the man, putting two and two together. 

"B-But that's impossible! Y-You're supposed to be dead!" Ciel stepped back, tears brimming  in his eyes as he looked between Tom Riddle and 'James Phantomhive'.

"I'm very much alive, my son, Now we can be happy and be a family again." Ciel's eyes widened, he couldn't be happy anymore, he didn't want to be.

"I cant be happy father! I have never been happy since that Halloween night!" Ciel saw both James and Tom flinch, "I've wanted to be happy, believe me I have but the only times I've been happy is with my new friend and my butler." James raised an eyebrow, had his son really done some stupid act like his grandfather?  

"Ciel Hadrian Phantomhive! You haven't done anything have you?!" James blurted out and Ciel glanced at him.

Ciel looked down at the floor, gathering his courage then replying,

"The truth is father," Ciel mumbled, "I...."
