Blaise followed Wilton as he led him down the dark hall. It was the first time he had ever entered the London coven’s gathering place and he was very curious about the place his kitten disappeared to every night.
He only got a glimpse of Hermione sitting on a high backed chair in her ‘throne room’ before he was ushered off to a side door.
“I will come get you once it is time to present you to the Lords.” Wilton said showing no more respect for Blaise than the first time they had met. He liked that he didn’t cow the man; it wasn’t his place to be dominant over the other man. “You’ll be able to listen from here.” He added more pleasantly.
“I am interested in hearing her work.” He said taking a seat as he tried to imagine how this would all go down tonight.
When Wilton closed the door, he half expected the other vampire to try to lock him in but he heard no telltale click of the lock.
A few moments later he did hear something very surprising; Potter and Weasley talking softly.
“I really don’t think the Ministry needs both of us here.” Weasley said sounding more than a bit nervous.
“She requested us for this big announcement, and it is the Ministry’s job to keep up on what is happening in their world.” Potter chastised the other man. “Get a grip Ron; she really is still just Hermione.”
The other man didn’t answer and they were soon in the room with too many to think they had privacy. Blaise chuckled to himself that they thought they had had privacy in the hall, if he could hear them; he had no doubt Hermione could.
He listened as others moved passed his small room into the larger one as well. The leaders of all the covens Hermione controlled were here tonight; finally, it was time for him to be introduced into vampire society.
“Thank you all for coming.” Hermione said and he imagined the way she would be sure to meet everyone’s gaze as she spoke. “As you all must be wondering why I have called you, I think it is best to get right to my point. Several months ago I announced that I was looking for a companion.”
“You were a tease that would submit to no man or woman we sent.” One of the Lords interrupted.
“I gave you all a chance to choose who I would accept, but that doesn’t mean I would lower my standards.” She growled back showing him once again who was in charge. “When I realized that none of you and none of your members could meet those standards I went looking for myself.”
“No!” Weasley yelled suddenly and he heard a scuffle as someone ran for the door and tripped on something. “I’m not doing it Harry, I am not becoming some sacrifice to these monsters!” The man yelled, as he got closer to the door.
“Let him go.” Hermione said to someone sounding more than amused as Weasley struggled to leave.
“I’m sorry for the outburst your Majesty.” Came Potter’s embarrassed voice as his friend fled.
“That wasn’t him was it?” Another Lord asked in disgust.
“No. That was an imbecile, who has a much higher opinion of himself than I could have imagined.”
“Sorry…” Potter muttered again.
“As I was saying. I went out to look for myself. I have chosen the man I will allow to claim me, and I turned him myself to give him the strength of a Lord.” She said calmly.
He could hear a lot of muttering among those in the room as they all tried to decide what this meant for the power of their community.
“He will take no part in the ruling of our people.” This was decided between them, as Blaise wanted very little power over the other vampires. “You will owe him no respect beyond what you feel he earns from you personally.”
“Who is this man?” One of the Lords finally asked and Blaise stood, as he knew it was time for his part.
When Wilton opened the door, he strode out with his hands in his pockets. He smiled as he entered the room scanning the Lords. There were thirteen of them in total, four of them women making Lord a misleading title. They looked back at him with curiosity. Like all vampires they could tell he was a Master, but they could tell very little else from him. He walked up to stand by her throne, bowing his head to her in respect for her leadership as he approached.
“How can he make any claim when he bows to you as a subject?” One of the women asked in a hiss. The rest in this room were Master’s as well, and he knew the fact she was a consort had never been something they took lightly.
“Because I’m just that good.” He said grinning at the woman with his arrogant smile. “She is mine.” He stated in a way that would leave no one questioning. “But I bow to her superior leadership.”
Everyone in the room but Potter exchanged looks and he knew this would be a battle to get them to understand the relationship he chose to have with Hermione. She had explained that it would be a battle that could last a very long time, but he felt ready for it. Tonight was only the first step.
After hours of answering questions and debate, Blaise just wanted to take his kitten home and try out a few new toys on her. But even after the other Lords had left to return to their own covens, they still had to speak with Potter.
They moved the meeting to a private office she had, and Blaise found a comfortable position on a leather couch as Potter paced.
“Blaise Zabini?” He asked as soon as the door was closed. Hermione chuckled as she had told Blaise her friend would have that exact reaction.
“Would you have preferred I chose Ronald?” She asked in a mocking tone.
“Merlin I am sorry about that.” He said with a sigh. “But why a Slytherin?”
“Honestly?” Hermione looked at him with a slight smirk. “His blood tasted really good.” She told him making Potter just blink at her.
Blaise chuckled bringing Potter’s attention back to him. “Are you going to tell me how this even happened?” He asked giving Blaise a glare that said he didn’t fear vampires the way most wizards did.
“I’m not sure if you knew this, but I used to be a bit of a manslut.” He said infuriating the Auror all the more.
“Fine. If neither of you are going to give me any real information than I have to ask, were you turned willingly?” Potter asked looking between the two. “By new Ministry law if you were turned against your will your sire is to be charged with murder.” Blaise was about to tell the man of course he was turned willingly before the Auror kept going. “But if you were turned willingly you forfeit all wealth and assets gained before you were a vampire to the Ministry.” He quickly closed his mouth and looked at Hermione who looked ready to murder someone.
“And this new law is an attempt to either legally go after my people or their property or both.” She said narrowing her eyes.
Potter nodded gravely. “I told you something was coming; this is what they decided on for now. Hermione, you have them running scared, and the fact you refuse to deal with most of them makes them all the more nervous.”
“And how exactly do they plan to track down all of the vampires and their sires and children and figure out who made what when?” She asked smugly crossing her arms.
“They know that would be a huge task, so they’ve put a grandfather clause in. If a vampire was made before the law was enacted they can’t be touched.”
“So they are mostly worried about my little domain from growing any more than it has.” She said rolling her eyes.
“Well that is what they are worried about right at the moment. I think if you would just meet with someone from the Beast, Being and Spirit Division it would go a long way.” Potter told her seriously making Blaise frown.
“You won’t even meet with them?” Blaise asked not really thinking before he spoke up.
“I have my reasons.” She said stiffly, and he knew he would have to ask her about it later, when he could be a bit more convincing.
“So Blaise you need to tell me if you were turned willingly or not.” Potter pressed on.
“When was the law enacted?” Hermione asked not letting him answer just yet.
“Almost nine months ago.” He said going slightly pink. “They wouldn’t let me tell you until I took notice of a new vampire.” Potter added apologetically.
“Well then Blaise’s turning is none of your business.” She said seriously. “He was made more than ten months ago.” She informed the Auror with her head held high.
“But you just told them…” He started and looked between the two of them again. “So that isn’t something you want to get around.” Potter said being quicker than Blaise thought.
“Don’t worry about it. If the date I am giving you gets out, I will imply to my people that I lied. And you can tell your people that I lied about how young he is to keep my kingdom stable.” She said with a knowing smirk.
“You are playing a dangerous game Hermione.” The other man said with a frown.
“Life is a dangerous game Potter. Now do you need something else? I’ve waited long enough to make her scream for the night.” Blaise said showing how on edge he was.
“I’m playing a very dangerous game.” She agreed and smiled to her friend before letting him leave.
The moment the door was closed, he had her bent over her desk, his hands already tangled in her curls.
“Not here.” She whimpered pressing back against him. “Please?”
Blaise took in a slow breath as he thought about what this office might mean to her. “Okay, but it will cost you.” He said not letting her up just yet.
“What?” She asked breathlessly.
“You’ll find out.” He said with a gleaming smirk.
