《Diego x Reader - Dare》19 - The morning after
Advertisement
Y/N's P.O.V.
"Wakey wakey!" Klaus called, followed by the irritating sound of a bell. I sat up and looked around Diego's old room in confusion, before I let out a sigh. I looked down at what I was wearing and shrugged, too lazy to get changed as I opened the door and headed down to the kitchen. It's not like I was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. I had just 'borrowed' one of Diego's shirts and a pair of boxers that I had found in his room.
"Klaus, you better have a good reason to have woke me up this early." I warned, already finding Luther and Five sat at the table. When I saw Luther it was if I saw red as I moved towards his slouched form and punched him hard enough to knock him out of his chair.
"You bastard!"
"Y/N! Y/N, calm down!" Klaus wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back, before making me sit down at the table.
"What the Hell did he do?" Five asked in an amused tone.
"Y/N? What happened to you?" Five suddenly suspiciously and I sent Luther a short glare. I had a dark bruise on my cheekbone, from when Luther pushed me yesterday and a split lip from one of the goons last night.
"What didn't he do?" I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest as Klaus passed me some {favourite drink}. Five took Luther's coffee straight out of his hands and took a drink, before pulling a face.
"Christ, who do I have to kill to get a decent cup of coffee?" He muttered and I snorted.
"Can we just get started?" Luther mumbled.
"Has anyone seen any of the others?" Klaus asked.

"Diego? Allison? No?"
"Diego wasn't answering his phone last night, so I guess he's still busy hunting down Jenkins." I shrugged.
"Alright well," Klaus banged his spoon against the table, making Luther flinch. I smirked slightly and turned my attention back to Klaus.
"Listen up. There's no easy way to say this, so I'm just gonna spit it out. Yeah."
"Klaus, you sure this is a good idea?" I asked and Five gave me a weird look.
"I conjured dad last night." Klaus said quickly and I sighed.
"I thought you said you haven't been able to conjure anyone in years?" Luther asked and, honest to god, I almost punched him again.
"Ah, Yes, I know, but I'm sober. Ta-da!" Klaus said in a cheery voice.
"I got clean, yesterday. I wanted to talk to someone special." Dave. I fixing even think that was why.
"Then ended up having this whole conversation with dear old Daddy himself."
"Has anyone got some aspirin?" Luther asked.
"Top shelf, next to the crackers." Five said dismissively and I looked at them in disbelief. I slammed my hand down on the table and glared at them.
"Listen to him. He's not making this shit up." I snapped and Luther scoffed.
"Y/N, how many times do I have to tell you that you're not even wanted here? You're not a part o this family." Luther growled.
"I'm *this* close to knocking your dumbass out." I said, standing up.
"Ha, you can tell you're Diego's fiancée." Five said with a shit eating grin.
"Hey, Hey, Hey! This is important alright? I'm being serious, I swear." Klaus interrupted and I dropped back down into my seat, glaring daggers at Luther.
"Alright, I'll play. What did the old man have to say?" Five sighed.

"Well, he gave me the usual lecture about my appearance and failures in life. Yada yada yada. No surprise there. Even the afterlife couldn't soften a hardass like Dad, right? But he did mention something about his murder, or lack of, because... he killed himself." Klaus said and I could practically hear Ben's sigh.
"I don't have time for your games, Klaus." Luther said, standing up.
"I'm telling you the truth, Luther." Klaus almost begged and I almost smiled when I noticed Five's curious expression.
"Why'd he do it then?" The boy asked.
"He said it was the only way to bring you all back." I filled in and Klaus nodded.
Five and Luther started to talk about Hargreeves being depressed, whereas I finished my drink and stood up.
"I'm gonna get a shower and get dressed. If Diego comes back tell him to come and find me." I said to Klaus, leaving the kitchen.
"Hey Pogo." I muttered, walking past the ape.

8 205Hiraeth | Regulus Black
The Avery family were one of the few truly pureblood wizarding families left in society. They took pride in a long line of thoroughly talented witches and wizards who all bore the proud status as not only pureblood, but also Slytherins. Lucas Avery was perhaps the most prominent Avery. The boy who befriended Tom Riddle and was part of the Slug Club during his time at Hogwarts. One of the first Death Eaters, he showed tremendous loyalty towards his friend and master Lord Voldemort during his first rise to power. Not only was Lucas active in his duties, he also raised two children to carry his respect into the next generation. One of his children did this with great dignity and honour... Whilst the other did not. Esmeralda (Esme) Avery never truly fit in anywhere. No matter how hard she tried. This case of isolation is perhaps what led Esme to rebel so fearlessly against what was expected against her. Then, in her sixth year at Hogwarts, she did something extraordinary. Not only was this one last desperate escape from the traumatic woes facing her at home, it also cemented her future. One fateful evening would lead Esme not only on a path of discovery but also fear and heartache. Are there any other kind of stories during Voldemort's first rise to power?
