I apologize for the delay, as I said before I’ve been working on so
many other projects that this has been put on the back burner, not only that
but it kind of wore me out. Anyway, here’s
the next chapter, please tell me what you think.
Chapter 10
Harry
had finally learned to control his hunger the day before he was to leave for
Hogwarts. He could remember being told
that if he didn’t succeed he wouldn’t be going; Doriel had no intention of
letting an uncontrolled vampire loose, especially if that vampire was his
childe. He had learned a few more spells
over the summer, ones that even with a bit of vampire blood could not be cast
by another person. The hardest lesson he
had been subjected to was only taking a little blood from a person, with his youth
he had trouble stopping, the desire to sate his hunger fully on one person was
strong. Now, as he sat alone on the
train, waiting for his friends, he closed his eyes and let his mind drift. Doriel and Alexander had explained to him
that it was going to be difficult to feed while at school and that it would be
best to rely on his friends to help him or to hunt animals in the Forbidden Forest.
If he could take a little drink from many people without them knowing or
with their permission it would be best.
Draco
was the first one to find him, “Aurel!” He shouted in his ear, startling the
new vampire.
Harry
jerked upright with a hiss, eyes golden as he tried to get himself back under
control, “Draco, don’t do that!” He growled, glaring at him.
An
indignant yip escaped Draco’s lips as he thumped back into the bench on the
other side of the cabin, “You’re a vampire.” He stated softly.
“Yes,
I’m a vampire, and my control is limited so don’t sneak up on me.”
“You
could have given us a bit of a heads up.”
He
sighed, “I’ve been a bit secluded since my turning.” He paused, “I trust you
not to reveal my secret Draco, it’s going to be hard
for me, especially since I need to hunt.”
“You
have my word that I will not tell anyone.”
He
smirked, “Good.” He closed his eyes again, the gold finally disappearing, “I
need to focus, please stay, I don’t want you to be afraid of me, please Drac.”
He felt like he was begging but knew Draco would understand.
“I’m
not going anywhere and have no reason to be afraid, it’s not like you tried to
chow down on me.”
Deep breaths in, long breaths out to calm himself, to get his new
nature back under control where it belonged, “This year should prove to be
interesting.” He paused, “It’s harder for me to perform wizard magic now
so I might have to ‘fake’ it by using vampire magic instead.”
Draco
laughed, “I’ll try to keep the focus off you but it’s a little hard, you’re
famous after all.” He teased, “Besides, Dumbledore will be keeping an eye on
you again I’m sure.”
He
opened his eyes, “Just hearing that name pisses me off.”
“Won’t mention it again.” He leaned back, closing his eyes,
“Should get some rest, long way to go yet.”
Harry
let his eyes drift closed, relaxing in his companion’s presence and forgetting
his worries for a time at least. About
halfway through the trip there was a soft rap at the door to their compartment
before it slid open to reveal Hermione.
Harry looked over at her with interest.
They had formed a tentative relationship, sharing information but not
really having a true friendship.
“Granger.” Draco sneered, he still didn’t care much for her
due to her background but he was civil under Harry’s watch at least.
“Hermione.” Harry half smiled, “What brings you here?”
“I
wanted to see how you were doing. I know
that it’s tradition for vampires to be turned when they reach their majority,
you’re sixteen now.” She paused, “Did you go through with it?”
He
smiled, “Sometimes you’re too smart for your own good. Yes, I did, and you know that you cannot
share it with anyone.”
“Of course.” She paused, “It’s good to see that you’re here
and alright.” She said before turning and sliding the door shut.
“I
still don’t see why you let her speak to you.” He sneered.
Harry
let his eyes drift closed, “She’s smart and powerful, you
have to look past blood sometimes before making assumptions.”
“I’ll
try to keep that in mind.” Draco replied, rolling his eyes.
The
rest of the ride was peaceful, Weasley even having the common sense to stay
away. They arrived without incident,
making their way to the Great Hall for the feast. Harry had no desire for human food, he knew
that his father’s ate it to keep up appearances and because they liked the
texture and taste, it had no real nutritional value. Harry sat between Draco and Blaise, as far
away from the staff table as they could get.
The hall was filled with quiet talking as students caught up from over
the summer. They had a bit of time
before the first years would arrive for their sorting. Harry didn’t reveal his nature to Blaise,
wouldn’t until the three of them were alone.
Of course he knew he would have questions when he saw that he wasn’t
eating but he also knew that Blaise had enough tact not to ask about it until
they were safely away from prying eyes and ears. Harry’s eyes flashed to the staff table,
Dumbledore was watching him as he had since he lost the hearing. It would be difficult to get his feeding in
tonight but he would find a way.
“Aurel, you alright?” Blaise asked softly, drawing his
attention away from staring at Dumbledore.
“I’m
fine.” He said softly, “I just need the meddling old fool to stay out of my
affairs.” His fingers toyed with a goblet, running absently along the rim as
the hall was silenced for the first years to be sorted.
The
influx of students fascinated the vampire, after Voldemort’s ‘defeat’ the
populous felt safe enough to begin reproducing once again. Harry watched absently as they were sorted,
each child taking their seat. He
completely ignored Dumbledore’s speech, something about banding together in
these troubled times. Finally the feast
was served; he would have to turn pumpkin juice to blood to hold up the façade
of being human. He smiled slightly,
pouring himself a glass. It wasn’t as
filling as from the source but it would have to do for the timing being, fake
blood was not his favorite.
Carefully
he nicked himself on the knife by his plate, “Sangar.” He whispered, running
his finger around the rim, watching the liquid change, turn crimson. He smiled, raising his glass, bringing it to
his lips and taking a drink before licking the ‘blood’ off his lips slowly,
eyes half closing, “You know, the juice is really first rate tonight.” He
smiled, taking another drink, licking his blood from the edge. Once he was finished he put his hand over it,
“Finae.” He whispered, cleaning the glass, undoing the blood spell, making it
so there was just pumpkin juice left.
The
rest of the feast passed, Harry not eating anything, the blood enough to tide
him over for awhile before he had to rely on someone else or one of the
creatures in the forest. Draco had been
given the honor of being a prefect and had given Harry the password so he could
get in after he had dealt with Dumbledore.
He knew before the headmaster even locked eyes with him that he wanted
to speak with him. As the other students
were following out he remained, getting to his feet slowly and moving with
unnatural grace toward the staff table where only Dumbledore remained. A large part of him already knew that
Dumbledore had the knowledge of his nature so he didn’t bother trying to hide
it.
“Harry.”
He smiled, that damn twinkle sparking to life momentarily before dying out as
he watched the way he moved.
“Aurel.” He corrected, smirking, “I believe that it is my
right to be registered as I desire considering I reached my majority.”
They
were both silent for a moment, “Aurel then.” He paused again, “Am I to
understand that you have come into your ‘family’ rite then?”
“What
would you say if I said yes?” He questioned, putting his palms on the table.
“It
would not surprise me. I knew from the
moment I found out that Doriel was raising you that you would end up just like
him.” His eyes narrowed, “Did he force you?
Tear out your throat?”
Harry
burst into laughter, “No. It was nothing
like that. It was a ritual that needed
to be performed and I was given a choice.
I made my decision.” He smiled, his laughter dying down, “Professor
Dumbledore, I am giving you the respect that perhaps you do not deserve, I am
allowing you to know my secret. I know
that you do not desire to risk your position, which I’m sure you realize will
be in dire jeopardy should you choose to reveal my nature to anyone. Please tell me you understand, I’m afraid I need that reassurance before I return to my dorm.”
“I
understand what you are saying, Ha…Aurel.” He barely caught himself, “Should
you prove a danger to my students then I will reveal you.”
“I
will not harm anyone without their consent, you know, the taking of blood can
be quite pleasurable or painful depending on the vampire’s whim. Keep that in mind.” He said before turning on
his heels and walking away, making his way down to the dungeons, to his home
away from home.
