Summary
     What if Harry's parents weren't at all what they initially seemed
     like? What if Harry was the product of a union between divine and
     profane energies? Well this is that story.

                   xXx Limbo, the Gate to the Afterlife xXx
The Last thing Harry Potter could recall, was an ominous green light hitting
him. That was before he woke up in an area that was filled with a white mist
that made visibility incredibly difficult. Suddenly he heard a feminine
coughing sound issuing from somewhere in front of him.
"Really, Harry? An all encompassing mist? That was the best your mind could
come up with on short notice?" the voice asked in an annoyed tone.
"Um… sorry?" Harry responded in confusion.
"Meh… considering your current state of apparel, perhaps it is for the best,"
the voice said in a humored tone, "At least this way you don't embarrass my
older sister."
Harry frantically looked down at himself and discovered that he was not wearing
a thing, "The bloody hell?"
"Simply imagine clothes and you will have them," the voice stated.
Harry did as instructed and found himself clothed in a simple unadorned t-shirt
and blue jeans as well as some sneakers. Once he was clothed the woman said,
"Now imagine this fog clearing up, if you would."
Harry did as asked, and found himself face to face with a woman who looked
remarkably similar to his mother, or at least what Harry would expect his
mother would of looked like if she had ten pure white feathered wings sprouting
out of her back… which looked a bit bizarre from a purely biological
perspective, as humans weren't designed with wings in mind and certainly not
ten wings at that.
Of course the appearance of the stunning redhead in front of him as
breathtaking as it was, absolutely paled in comparison to the beauty of the
blonde woman standing just behind her. This woman was so beautiful that she
would probably distract all attention away from Fleur's while the Veela had her
Allure at full blast, simply by being in the same room as the Veela.
"Harry, the blonde girl who you can't take your eyes off of, is my older
sister, and your Aunt, Gabriel. She is also the one who has been ordained by
our Father to serve as your Queen… much to the surprise of many in our family.
But what our father ordains, we obey," the redhead, who apparently was his
mother, explained.
Harry frowned in confusion, "Wha.."
"Oh dear… did no one bother to tell you about your parents?" Lily asked in
annoyance.
"Sister… you've been confined to the afterlife portion of Heaven… you probably
aren't aware of what has been going on…" Gabriel stated.
Lily whipped her head around to look at Gabriel, "What happened?"
"Albus Dumbledore…" Gabriel started saying.
"Damn meddling old goat mun…" Lily muttered darkly.
"SISTER!" Gabriel chided.
"...cher," Lily concluded after the interruption from her sister, "Right, well,
as you can obviously see, my beloved son. Gabriel and I are Angels. I give you
one guess as to what Gabriel's true identity happens to be…"
Harry frowned, "She wouldn't happen to be the Archangel Gabriel, the one who
delivered the news of the virgin conception to Mary, the Mother of Jesus?"
Gabriel grinned, "Yes, that was me!"
"Well, she is not technically an Archangel. That man who came up with the
classifications of Angels got a few things wrong. The only Archangel currently
in Heaven is our older brother Michael. As for Gabriel, she and I are both
Seraphs. Though she is a 12 winged Seraph, while I am merely a ten-winged
Seraph. My real name, Harry, is Raquel, the Seraph of Justice," Lily explained.
"So, I am half-angel, half-human?" Harry asked confusedly.
"Not quite," Lily stated with a mysterious smile on her face.
"Huh?" Harry asked.
"Your father, who the Wizarding World knew as James Potter, was actually named
Iakobos Valefor, the sole remaining heir to the Valefor Clan of Devils among
the 72 Pillars of Devils," Lily explained.
"How was it possible for a Devil and an Angel to get involved romantically?
Wouldn't that have caused you to fall from grace?" Harry asked.
"If I had been anything other than a Seraph, yes, it would of," Lily responded
with a gentle nod of her head. "As it stands, I was able to give birth to my
beautiful baby boy. A child that was prophesied by our father centuries ago as
one who would be capable of bringing unity between the three warring factions.
And to help you on the path to achieving that goal, your father had a special
set of Evil Pieces commissioned for you. These are the only set of Evil Pieces
that are able to convert entities with a spark of Divinity, such as Angels and
Divine Spirits into Devils while allowing them to retain that spark of divinity
in its untainted state."
"So when you said Gabriel would be becoming my Queen…" Harry asked.
"Yes, she will be becoming the first member of your Peerage via the use of that
specially crafted set of Evil Pieces. Although she will retain her purity as an
Angel and will not fall from Grace by doing so," Lily concluded.
"Harry, I owe you an apology. I wanted ever so much to rescue you from the
Dursley's for all those years you were with them… unfortunately the wards that
your former Headmaster placed around Privet Drive prevented anyone directly
associated with your mother or I from interacting with you directly until after
the protections your mother placed on you as an infant had fulfilled their
purpose," Gabriel explained sorrowfully.
Harry smiled in a pitiful manner as he said, "It's alright, as much as my life
with the Dursley's was horrible, I don't want to hold you or anyone else to
blame for the circumstances that placed me in their home or kept me there."
"Awww… that is so nice of you, Harry!" Gabriel cooed out because of his
response as she smiled in childish delight at having been forgiven. Much to
Lily's surprise and Harry's immense confusion, Gabriel flapped her wings once,
disappearing from behind Lily only to reappear directly in front of Harry,
where she proceeded to wrap him up in the warmest hug he could ever remember
having been given.
"Er… right… I should probably warn you, Harry. Gabriel possesses the innocence
of a child… however she is still incredibly clingy and not at all opposed to
hugging the stuffing out of people she has formed an emotional attachment to…
she is the most feared of the four great Seraph because she is particularly
well known for giving cosmic strength hugs to her enemies," Lily explained.
"Better to give hugs than to kill people," Gabriel stated childishly.
Harry chuckled, "Her logic seems flawless. Still, it probably wouldn't help
with cases like Tom Riddle."
"Oh… it probably would, at least now that he only has Nagini left," Gabriel
stated humorously.
Lily cocked her head to the side, "You managed to get rid of all his other
Horcruxes then?"
"I had gotten rid of all of them except for the one in my scar and the snake,"
Harry confirmed.
"Well, the one in your scar is gone. Otherwise we wouldn't of been able to meet
with you like this," Lily stated thoughtfully. After a moment's hesitation she
said, "With this in mind, I need to warn you that our time here is growing
short. You will shortly return to the world of humans. Gabriel is sure to find
you shortly after you have dealt with the Dark Lord. To add her to your Peerage
you merely have to consciously call forth the Queen Piece and desire for her to
become your Queen when she arrives and presents herself to you. You can do the
same with others. The Evil Piece system is based on one half of a Chessboard,
so I am sure you can figure out what the pieces are."
"Are there any restrictions on who I can add?" Harry asked.
"Not with your set. Though, I will warn you that depending on the power of the
person you are adding, you may need more than one piece. Also, one each of your
Bishops and Knights, as well as three of your Pawns are Mutated. This means
that they are each worth more than the standard piece, and their actual
potential as pieces is somewhat difficult to calculate prior to them being
utilized," Lily explained.
"Okay, thanks, I will keep that in mind," Harry said.
"One last thing before you go, Harry. Now that the Horcrux in your scar is
gone, your full powers as a Nephalem will be unlocked the instant you return to
the human world. This will be extremely jarring for you. Please be careful. I
don't want to see you again anytime soon, unless you call me using the
Resurrection Stone, my beloved son," Lily chided Harry.
"Yes, mum," Harry said as things started to go dim in the bright white world
that he had awoken to. Very soon afterward Harry faded from the land of limbo,
so that he could reawaken in the world of the living.

                    xXx Moments After the Killing Curse xXx
Harry's eyes snapped open to discover the face of Narcissa Malfoy hovering mere
inches from his own. The woman's eyes widened rather comically upon seeing his
eyes open like that, but she did not do anything else which revealed the fact
that Harry was still alive to the others in the clearing.
"Well, Narcissa? Is the boy still alive?" the drawling voice of the man who
styled himself 'The Dark Lord Voldemort' called out from several feet away.
Harry whispered to Narcissa, "Your son is still alive and safe, for the
moment."
Narcissa's face developed a frown as she considered how to proceed now that she
possessed this knowledge. Finally she decided upon her course of action, "Nay,
my Lord. The boy is well and truly dead."
With that statement uttered, Narcissa moved away from Harry. Once she was only
a few feet away from him, Harry heard the Dark Lord call out "CRUCIO!" and he
was hit with the wracking pain that the torture curse provided. However, for
some reason, despite the physical pain that he was enduring from the curse,
Harry's mind and nervous system remained completely unaffected by the pain,
allowing him to prevent himself from reacting to the pain.
"Have the Half-Breed carry the boy's body. I want those in the school to
witness the fact that their savior is no more," Voldemort commanded his Death
Eaters.
Harry closed his eyes and slowed his breathing as large hands picked him up in
a bridal carry. He was then able to silently observe as Voldemort led his Death
Eaters towards the School. Upon arrival Voldemort monologued for several
minutes, at the conclusion of which Neville Longbottom did what to Voldemort
was perhaps the unthinkable. He drew the Sword of Gryffindor from out of the
Sorting Hat and cut the head off of Nagini.
As Voldemort was screaming in rage, Harry sat up in Hagrid's arms and cheekily
shouted out "Oi! Tom! I'm not as dead as you had thought."
Hagrid set Harry down, as Tom rounded on Harry and leveled his wand at the boy.
Harry just smiled and said, "That won't work, Tom. You aren't the Master of
that Wand. I am. I, Harry James Potter, call the Deathly Hallow known as the
Elder Wand to its rightful owners hand!"
And just like that, the Elder Wand ripped itself from Tom Riddle's hand and
landed in Harry's outstretched hand. "Now, so that we can make this as decisive
as possible, allow me to demonstrate to you, just what it is you had been
trying to kill for all these years, Tommy Boy."
With that statement made, Harry allowed his wings to manifest. Much to the
shock of everyone in the courtyard, four large wings, two of which resembled
the wings found on a Vampire Bat, only much, much larger, and two of which were
covered in snowy white feathers erupted from Harry's back.
"What! What are you?" Voldemort questioned.
"It would seem that I am a Nephalem. The byproduct of a sexual union between an
Angel and a Devil. You, Tom, made the grievous error of slaying one of the
Seraphim when you killed my mother. I am sure you can fully comprehend what
that will mean for your eternal soul?" Harry explained to the shocked audience.
"You can't kill me, I made precautions against my death!" Voldemort argued.
"The Diary was pierced with a Basilisk's fang. The Ring, and Locket were
stabbed with the Sword of Gryffindor, which has been impregnated with Basilisk
Venom. The Cup was stabbed with a Basilisk Fang. The Diadem was incinerated by
Fiendfyre. Nagini was beheaded by the Sword of Gryffindor. And the
unintentional Horcrux that resided in my scar was destroyed by your Killing
Curse. You have no Horcruxes left, Tom." Harry explained.
"You LIE!" Voldemort hissed out.
"We shall see then. Tom, do you know what this is?" Harry asked as he generated
a long jagged looking spear out of thin air.
"You would resort to Muggle Weapons?" Voldemort asked with a sneer in his
voice.
"This, Tom, is a spear created from the Light Element. Light is an element that
generally only the Angels and those highly attuned to Heaven are capable of
using. It is particularly lethal to those who are aligned with the Underworld,
but also to those who have defiled their souls in the way that you have.
Goodbye Tom!" Harry explained before hurling the spear at Voldemort at a speed
that was truly frightening.
Voldemort barely even had time to register the fact that the spear had been
thrown before he felt the weapon piercing his belly as it went all the way
through his body, severing his spine. The physical damage to his body wasn't
even the worst part of it. He also felt every single nerve he had ignite as if
he had been submerged in a pool of lava. His brain felt like it was melting.
"That pain you are feeling is the Light Poisoning taking its toll on your body.
You aren't going to live for much longer, Tom," Harry explained as he turned to
address the assembled Death Eaters. "Your leader is defeated. I suggest you all
turn yourselves over for judgment, and make this easier on everyone. Otherwise…
oh well that was fast."
Everyone's attention was suddenly drawn to the sky as a pillar of golden light
erupted from the heavens and reached down to the earth. From within that pillar
of light everyone bore witness to the descending form of the most beautiful
woman that they had ever seen. A woman who had not just four wings like Harry,
but a full TWELVE wings.
Once she had landed she turned around and looked at Voldemort, "Mmmh, so messy,
Harry-kun. Did you have to spear him in the guts like that?"
"Hello Gabriel. It was either spearing him in the gut, or hitting him with a
dark curse, I figured this was the method that would be easier on my soul,"
Harry responded to the bustiest Angel in the world.
"Yes, I suppose it would be. Now make me your Queen so that we can set to work
making your Peerage," Gabriel chided.
And the knowledge that the Seraph Gabriel was present on the Battlefield saw to
the fact that every single member of Voldemort's forces proceeded to drop all
pretenses of trying to continue fighting. Even the Giants, who knew full well
that they didn't stand a chance against the pretty Angel if she got angry with
them.
Harry walked up to Gabriel and raised a hand, opening the palm so that it was
horizontal to the ground. He then consciously called on his magic and willed
for his Queen Piece to materialize in front of him. An azure blue magic circle
appeared atop of his palm, and from it appeared a Chess piece that resembled a
brilliant white Queen. Harry handed Gabriel the Queen and said "Gabriel, join
the household of the Valefor Clan of Devils and serve forevermore as my
faithful Queen."
With those words stated, the Queen piece sunk itself into Gabriel's body with a
brilliant azure light as two new wings sprouted from Gabriel's back, these ones
resembling the black bat wings that were already on Harry's back.
"HARRY! How could you corrupt a pure Angel like that!" the shrill voice of
Hermione Granger called out in protest of his actions.
Harry looked at Gabriel, "Did I corrupt you, Gabriel?"
"Not that I can tell, Harry-kun. But then Hermione-chan was always more of a
devotee of Uriel's rather than mine now that I think on it… and Uriel has the
biggest… um… well I probably shouldn't say that, it isn't polite," Gabriel
pouted.
"Harry, may I also become a Devil?" the dreamy voice of Luna Lovegood asked as
she glomped Gabriel.
"Oh! Aren't you adorable. Can we keep her Harry?" Gabriel asked as she hugged
the younger blonde back.
"I don't see why not. Hmm… the only question is what piece to use for my dear
Little Moon," Harry said in contemplation.
"I think I warrant your Mutated Bishop, Harry," Luna stated in that dreamy tone
of voice.
"What, why?" Harry asked confusedly.
Gabriel hummed for a moment, "Oh! I remember now, it's because of your Cosmic
Awareness, isn't it?"
"Her what now?" Harry asked.
"It means she breaks the fourth wall. It is why she seems so odd all the time,"
Gabriel explained. "That said, it is an incredibly useful combat trick… if you
are familiar with comic books at all, the only character who has an ability
even remotely close to what Luna can do, is Spider-Man."
"You read comic books?" Harry asked.
"Sure do, it is one of the more entertaining ways of passing centuries,"
Gabriel said enthusiastically. "All immortals find some hobby or another… well
all of them other than Uriel." You could actually FEEL the pout emanating off
of Hermione at the continued ribbing that Uriel was receiving from Gabriel.
"Alright then," Harry summoned said Bishop and handed it to Luna, "Luna
Lovegood, join the household of the Valefor clan of Devils and serve
forevermore as my faithful Bishop." As soon as he finished saying this the
bishop melted into Luna's body and two black bat-like wings sprouted from
Luna's back.
"Now, I think we should wake Fleur, Bill, and Fred up, and offer George a place
alongside his brother," Luna said dreamily.
"Wait, Fleur and Bill?" Harry asked as he started running towards the Hogwarts
Great Hall.
Once he arrived inside he quickly located where Fleur was lying next to Bill.
However he was quickly approached by Molly Weasley who declared, "No son of
mine will be made into a monster! You can do what you want with the Veela
Harlot though."
Harry rolled his eyes as he summoned forth a Knight and laid it upon Fleur's
considerable chest before saying "Rise, Fleur Weasley (née Delacour), and join
the household of the Valefor clan of Devils, serve forevermore as my faithful
Knight."
As soon as the Knight had finished absorbing into Fleur, she took a long
shuddering breath as her body began to live again. Her eyes fluttered open as
she gazed up into the concerned eyes of Harry Potter. "'Arry? I… I was dead?"
"Welcome back to the realm of the living Fleur," Harry said as he helped the
young woman up.
Her eyes landed on Bill's form, and her breathing took a sharp increase as she
began panicking, "Bill? Oh… oh no!" she went to throw herself on him only to
get physically rebuffed by Molly.
"No Devil is going to associate with my family, even if they are dead. Get away
from my son!" Molly shrieked at Fleur.
"I don't care what Mum says, but I want my brother back. Can you do the same
thing for him that you did for Fleur, Harry?" George Weasley asked from behind
Harry and Fleur.
"GEORGE!" Molly shrieked.
Harry smiled and turned to look at the young man, "I can, George. I will extend
the offer of the same benefit to you as well, though I would be using a Pawn in
the case of you and your brother."
"Hey, I have no problem with that. Contrary to popular belief, the Pawn is the
single most powerful piece on the Chessboard, simply due to the fact that it
can be promoted to any other piece except the King," George said humorously.
"True enough," Harry acknowledged as he followed George over to where Fred lay.
He handed George one Pawn while placing another on George's chest before saying
"Rise, Fred Weasley, and join the household of the Valefor clan of Devils,
serve forevermore as my Pawn… George Weasley, join the household of the Valefor
clan of Devils, serve forevermore as my Pawn."
With that said the two Pawns sank into the bodies of Fred and George Weasley. A
short time later, Fred took a shuddering breath as his eyes fluttered open.
"Yo! I was in the most beautiful place… they told me to tell you to take good
care of Gabriel-chan, Harry, or else you would regret it."
"I don't think they will have any complaints," Harry said as he helped the
young man to his feet.
"Fred! George! I never want to see you abominations again!" Molly Weasley
shrieked at the two people she no longer considered her sons.
Off in the corner of the room, unseen by anyone else, Ginevra Weasley was
positively scowling at the way her mother was treating her brothers and Harry.
She didn't have any real complaints regarding the Veela though.
"Wherever you lot are going, Harry, you are taking us with you!" Alicia spinnet
yelled out as she and Angelina Johnson approached the group, while Gabriel and
Luna approached from the other side.
"I wouldn't dream of separating you two girls from your boyfriends. However, I
still have no idea where we are going," Harry admitted.
"Oh, why don't you let me and Luna-chan handle that," Gabriel said with a
mysterious smile on her face.
Harry saw the equally mysterious smile that appeared on Luna's face and
groaned, "I don't know whether that would necessarily be a good idea, but I
don't really want to stick around here for all that much longer, so sure, why
not?"
"Okay, everyone who is coming with us, gather around," Gabriel said happily.
With that said, it was discovered that only Harry, Gabriel, Luna, Fleur, Fred,
George, Angelina and Alicia were going on this journey. Once they were all
gathered Luna grabbed onto Gabriel and Gabriel put one of her hands forward in
front of her, as the bright azure blue magic circle that had been appearing
whenever Harry summoned one of his Evil Pieces, instead appeared on the ground
beneath them.
Once the circle was fully formed, the circle illuminated the group in a large
amount of light and they vanished from Hogwarts, and from this reality as well.

End Notes
     Author’s Note: Okay, so first things first, Yes, Gabriel WILL be
     being paired with Harry for this fic, among several other girls.
     Second things, the Valefor Clan of Devils is quite extinct in the
     canonical High School DxD universe, so I am within full liberty to
     utilize that clan as the clan that Harry is from. Now for some
     interesting stuff:
     I decided that because of a comment that someone else made in regards
     to Sapphire-Eyed Prince of Rupture, that when I created this story, I
     would be doing it in a manner where Harry’s Peerage actually DOES
     have a few guys in it, rather than just being all females the way
     that seems so common in fanfiction these days. This way Harry doesn’t
     come off as being a total pervert the way that Riser and Issei do.
     To top that off, not all of the girls in the Peerage will end up
     being in a relationship with Harry either. Harry will outright refuse
     romance with one girl simply because he would consider such a romance
     a violation of one of his personal sexual taboos. As for the other
     girl in his Peerage that will not end up in a relationship with him…
     she has several emotional issues that makes her more interested in a
     different male, though that won’t stop her from taking on the role of
     what TV Tropes refers to as a Harem Mom.
     Now, I will be doing a cast list similar to in my other fics. This
     cast list will only appear on the HPFanficarchive and AO3 versions of
     the story, so if you want to see it, look for it there. The cast list
     will be listing the three sizes of the girls in the Peerage as well
     as the Harem. Angelina and Alicia won’t be listed until Fred and
     George earn their own Peerages.
     Cast List (in centimeters)
     Gabriel of the Seraph: 96DD / 61 / 91 (her breasts are stated to be
     PERFECT in High School DxD, but that does not necessarily translate
     to “Largest Boobs in Show” just that they are perfectly formed)
     Luna Selene Lovegood: 84C / 59 / 85
     Fleur Delacour: 101E / 59 / 90
