Harry felt the strangest feeling washing over him. He felt anger, jealousy, protectiveness, and possessiveness all in one. Edge knew he did not like him threatening Severus because of him, Harry himself had told him so, but he did anyway. To make matters worse he didn’t know if Severus meant Edge had literally breathed down his neck or figuratively and it was driving him spare not knowing. The thought of his Sire feeding from his Severus made his whole body burn and his borrowed blood boil. The images the thought brought with it, of Severus whimpering and moaning as Edge held him close and fed from that pale neck, only served to make it worse. Harry growled as his hands tightened into fists. He closed his eyes trying to calm himself down which proved to be futile as the image only burned brighter behind his closed lids. Another growl and he was walking past the potions master, who was obviously not going to answer his question, with only one destination in mind.
Severus watched Harry wearily noting all expression changes and knew he was going to have to tread carefully to get the vampire to calm down. The thought of him having plenty of practice calming irrational dangerous beings made him snort in his head. Harry was nothing like the Dark Lord and would probably prove to be even more volatile than the snake could ever be. Severus quickly went through what he knew about the young man before him trying to think of something that he could use to keep him from going after Edge and getting himself hurt, again. He winced. It would once again be because of him and he couldn’t handle that. He knew with the sudden protectiveness that had come over him concerning the young vampire that he would attempt to protect Harry himself, which would lead to him getting hurt, which would set Harry off even more…that could work. Severus had enough time to notice Harry walking by him and to grab his wrist before Harry flitted off. Harry tensed but he paused as Severus had wanted him to.
Harry froze instantly at the feel of the cold hand wrapping around his wrist and holding him back. His eyes squeezed shut knowing if he attempted to flit now then the probability of hurting Severus went up. He didn’t want to do that; anything but that. “Let me go.”
“No.”
The answer was short and clipped making him grit his teeth before turning to face Severus who kept a tight hold on his wrist. “Then tell me what he did.” He watched Severus narrow his eyes as he was growled at but Harry didn’t care. He wanted answers.
Severus felt the shiver travel his spine when Harry’s growl reached his ears. He noticed that he could see a little more green in those golden eyes than before. The two colors seemed to be swirling around each other drawing him in. Severus was entranced. The vampires eyes had never done that before and he was wondering just what was happening with them until he felt the pull on his mind. He narrowed his eyes at Harry. “Stop that and I’ll tell you.”
Harry stepped closer and tilted his head. “Stop what?”
“Trying to gaze me.” The only thing that saved the vampire from more biting words was that he genuinely looked confused. Those eyes blinked a couple times before the swirls stopped. They remain gold; however, as Harry was still anywhere but calm. “We talked.”
Harry growled, he confusion instantly forgotten, trying to pull his arm away. “You talked. Don’t lie to me. He threatened you again. I know he did.”
“Yes, he did.” Severus pulled Harry closer wrapping an arm around his waist as he went to struggle harder. He knew the only way to keep Harry from doing something stupid was to keep hold of him. Harry stopped struggling, resting the hand Severus wasn’t holding on his chest, but he still glared at Severus and growled at him. Severus closed his eyes as another shiver spread through his body. If he didn’t calm Harry down soon there would be no telling what he would do to the young man. He opened them again to stare Harry down keeping an eye out for the swirls to start again. “I didn’t come out here looking for you because of him.”
Harry breathed deeply trying to calm himself down. He kept his eyes on Severus’ noting the truth they held. He wasn’t lying to him. That truth took the edge off of Harry’s nerves, but there was still something bothering him, eating at him. He had to know. “Did he feed from you?”
Severus paused. Harry’s eyes had heated up again. He sighed. That was the main problem here, but he couldn’t lie to Harry, not now, not even a half truth would appease the young vampire. Severus took a deep breath and tightened his hold pressing the younger man close to him. “He tried to.” Harry growled and tried pulling away. “He didn’t, Harry.”
“He still tried!” Harry shook his head pulling against Severus, wanting lose but not wanting to hurt him either. “Damn it, Severus, let me go!”
“So you can do something else idiotic and stupid?” Severus growled back. He knew Edge would retaliate if Harry started anything whether Harry was his Childe or not. It didn’t matter to him whether he knew the older vampire would never seriously hurt the younger; he just knew that it was a confrontation that he wanted to avoid, or at least put off until Harry could hold his temper.
“He had no right… to even attempt…” Harry growled burying his head into Severus’ chest. “I don’t like it.” The hand that rested on Severus’ chest moved to wrap around the slim waist.
Severus could feel Harry calming but knew it was still too early to let his guard down. Instincts were still controlling rational thought. “That much is obvious.” His eyes rolled but he still let his fingers begin to trace light circles on the young mans hip.
“The thought… I don’t…can’t share.” Harry breathed deeply. Severus filled his senses. The warm musk and perfect blend of herbs and potions ingredients was soothing to him. His body was also warm despite the wind chill. His grip tightened around the older man. “You’re mine.”
Severus tensed and did his damndest to ignore the warmth that spread through him at those words. He stared at the mop of black hair resting on his chest feeling his heart begin to pound knowing full well that Harry would be able to feel and hear it. Slowly, he let go of the wrist he held sensing that Harry was no longer going to attempt to leave. His other hand stayed where it was even as Harry’s hand joined the other wrapping around him. He distantly remembered having called Harry his as well two weeks ago. Severus closed his eyes. He knew he was sinking even as he kept trying to swim. Part of him knew that something would happen before too much longer that would cause him to drown but he had yet to figure out whether he would let the current take him willingly or if he would fight until the very end.
Harry listened to the pounding of Severus’ heart in his ear. Being this close, he could smell it rushing just under the skin. He also smelled that the man was troubled by his whispered statement. Harry winced afraid he had once again messed up everything. He didn’t quite understand it himself but he was all kinds of protective of Severus lately and he honestly found himself liking the snarky man. Harry wanted Severus to like him as well but he kept messing up. Harry went to move away but the arm around his waist tightened once again and the other moved to tangle in his hair. His eyes widened as he was enveloped in a tight hug with Severus resting his head against his own.
“I don’t want you hurt, for whatever reason. I let you feed from me, for which the reason is also unknown. Truth is, I will only ever let you feed from me.” Harry’s arms tightened around him making a soft smile appear. “Why? I can’t even begin to fathom. If I was told that I would be doing this at the beginning of the school year I probably would have contacted St. Mungos to get the fool looked at for brain damage.” Severus held Harry tighter turning to bury his nose into the dark hair breathing in his scent. He was surprised to find it pleasant; sort of earthy, windswept, but also with a sweet undertone. “What are you doing to me, Harry?”
Harry could only answer by burying himself deeper into Severus’ human warmth.

Harry walked through the halls back to the Gryffindor Tower after talking with his friends in the Room of Requirement. He decided he would walk them back knowing that most of the professors would be more lenient with it being after curfew if they were with him. He knew it was because they felt pity for him not being able to see his friends during the day anymore and sometimes it rubbed him the wrong way. Tonight, though, he was counting on that pity to get his friends back without any trouble. He also knew that Hermione was Head Girl and Ron had remained as a Prefect, much to Ron’s dismay, and they could get back fine but he wanted to walk with them and stay with them a little longer tonight. Harry knew he was being cowardly putting off his lessons with his Sire, but he just wasn’t calm enough to see him just yet. He had promised Severus before he left to do nothing rash. There was also the promise of a feeding if he behaved when he got back that had him putting it off until he could look at the vampire without wanting to rip his head off.
“Harry? You okay, mate?”
Harry looked at his friends noticing that they had made it to the Fat Lady. “Yeah, I’m fine. Why?”
“Your eyes were flashing there for a moment.”
“Sorry.” Harry shook his head. “I have a lot on my mind.”
Hermione walked over to him resting a hand on his shoulder. “We know that, Harry. Is it something we can help you with?”
Harry shrugged. “Not really. I’m kind of pissed at my Sire right now.”
“Is that why you are late?”
Harry whipped around to find Edge standing behind him with his arms crossed and looking none too happy with him. He heard his friends gasp behind him letting him know Edge hadn’t been there that long. “Possibly.” It was all he could do to keep himself from growling it.
“Possibly?” Edge raised an eyebrow before turning his attention to Ron and Hermione. “You must be Harry’s friends.”
Hermione and Ron looked at each other for a second before they stepped up beside Harry. “Yes Sir.” Hermione answered. “I’m Hermione Granger and that’s Ron Weasley.”
“Pleasure.” Edge nodded his head at each with a soft smile. “I’m Edge and I’m assuming Harry has told you about me.”
Ron nodded. “He has.”
“Harry said he has a lesson with you tonight?” Hermione asked causing Harry to look at her in confusion.
“That is correct. Now, we must go.” He motioned for Harry to come with him ignoring the glare his Childe sent his way.
“May we come along?”
Edge paused and twisted to look at Harry’s friends. He took note of his Childes surprised look and knew this was as unexpected to him as it was to Edge. Edge smiled. “That would be entirely up to Harry. It is his lesson after all.”
Harry glared at his Sire feeling that anger from last night raise its ugly head again. What was Edge playing at now? He was so adamant about not meeting Ron and Hermione not too long ago and now he was willing to let them come along to a lesson? He clenched his fists fighting back to the urge to punch that sly smile clear of the vampires face. Damn him. He knew exactly what he was doing and he was doing it purposely. At this rate, Harry would never be able to keep his promise to Severus.
Harry nodded knowing his friends were waiting for his response. “You can use my cloak.” He had given Hermione his cloak to hold onto and to use if need be since he really didn’t need it as much anymore.
The portrait door closed behind them as they went to get the cloak and put their bags away before Edge spoke. “Let’s have it then while they are away.”
“You threatened him.”
Edge crossed his arms taking in Harry’s tense stance and angry, glaring, golden eyes. He couldn’t help but feel proud that Harry was showing such control so young. He couldn’t help but wonder what the driving force was. “I did and I will do so again to ensure that you get what you need.”
Harry growled before closing his eyes to get his bearings back. “Fine.” He walked up to his Sire until he was able to stare him in the eyes. Edge unfolded his arms and met him head on his expression as serious as Harry’s was. “If you threaten him again by trying to feed from him I will rip you limb from limb.”
Edge took note of the golden eyes and barely suppressed rage the boy was feeling. His Childe was serious. It amused him somewhat even as the situation continued to confuse him. “I am a century and then some older than you, Harry. You can try.”
“Um, maybe we should just let them go on their own. They obviously need to work this out.”
Edge smiled over at Ron. “It is settled. Now let’s go. We have wasted enough moonlight.”
Edge walked ahead of the three friends knowing Harry would want to cool off before they started. Harry had surprised him with his threat. He furrowed his brows in thought. Those two were really confusing him. First Severus reacts to him with a fear so unnatural to the man in question that it unnerved him. Then Harry threatens him with bodily harm. He was Sire to Harry’s Childe and that should have not happened. Usually, Edge would have laughed Harry’s threat off as exactly that but he could tell by the young vampires eyes that he was being dead serious; pun intended. Edge couldn’t figure this out and it was driving him crazy.
They made their way to the little clearing that Edge had become so fond of lately. Edge watched the two humans remove the cloak with a small amount of fascination. That cloak really was something else. He found himself wondering where Harry had come across such a thing.
“You two will actually be a help tonight.” Edge smiled softly at the three teenagers in a move to comfort them. He noticed it did nothing to comfort Harry and sighed mentally. Maybe he should just put this off until another night. “Harry is still rusty on gazing and having someone to practice on would be the best way to fine tune.”
“Are you serious?” Harry stepped in front of his friends before they could say anything. The glare the younger was sending him told Edge that he really should just put this off.
“I am. You still do not know when you are doing it or what the effects look like. Having people that trust you work with you on this is a great way to start out. It gets harder the less trust you have.”
“I’m not doing that to them.” Harry growled at Edge to which Edge only stared back at him. The Childe really was in the mood to be difficult with everything tonight.
“Harry.” Hermione turned Harry around with a hand on his shoulder. “Do we not get a say in this?”
“Yeah mate.” Ron spoke up before Harry could say anything. “Appreciate you trying to keep us out of this and all, but we are your friends. We want to help.”
“We trust you, Harry. Gazing is a skill that could come in useful at some point and it’s not like you are going to harm us or tell us to do something completely crazy.”
Edge smiled knowing that they were winning his young charge over. When he had first heard of Harry’s friends he feared for his young Childe but seeing them with him now he knew those fears had been unneeded. These two really would stand by Harry no matter what came their way. “You will not being influencing them in anyway. This is simply to get you to learn control over the ability and to become familiar with the effects.”
Hermione nodded. “See and I’m sure Edge won’t let anything go wrong.”
Harry sighed and mumbled under his breath something that Edge could have sworn was similar to ‘don’t trust him so much’. “Fine, if you guys are really okay with this?” Both of his friends nodded to which Harry sighed once again before turning to his Sire. “Alright. Let’s do this.”
“Okay.” Edge walked over to the trio pointing at Ron. “Ron, that is right?” When the red head nodded Edge smiled. “Good. You first.”
“Why me first?” Ron complained but moved forward anyway making Harry smile encouragingly at him.
Edge couldn’t help but feel happy that Harry had such good friends. He still rolled his eyes at the red headed human. “I picked you randomly. Now get over here.”
Edge couldn’t help but grin as Ron mumbled under his breath and Hermione giggled behind them. He had grown fond of Sirius and Severus, even though he threatened the latter on an almost weekly schedule (he honestly wouldn’t if he didn’t think the man needed it from time to time), maybe he could grow fond of these two humans as well. He knew it would bite him in the end but he could never help himself. As a human he wanted little to do with his own but ever since he was turned vampire he craved human interaction for more than just feeding. Every human he ran into was a whole new experience and he craved their life and their warmth in more ways than one. He always hated watching them grow old and die; knew the pain of it and he really wished that he could keep Harry from feeling it as well. It was a moot point though. Death was something that couldn’t be stopped or controlled. Even vampires could die, or die for good whichever way one looked at it, under the right circumstances. Edge shook his head trying to get back to concentrating on what he was trying to teach Harry.
“Concentration. That is the big thing here. For new vampires it helps to stare into the eyes of the person you want to gaze. Then concentrate on bringing them under, on stopping their own thoughts so you can fill them with your own. You’re not doing that now, of course, but you want them vacant.”
Harry glanced at Edge briefly before going back to stare into Ron’s eyes. “Like Veriteserum?”
Edge thought for a minute then nodded. “Yes, but gazing is way more effective than some simple brew.”
“Is it supposed to feel this intimate?” Ron asked is voice sounding like he was half asleep.
“It is.” Edge answered simply as he looked at Harry’s eyes noticing the swirls of green and gold dancing around each other in a way that if one wasn’t keen on details or really looking for it, they would never see it. He felt a little entranced himself. “Do you feel anything, Harry?”
Harry blinked and the connection was broke. Ron blinked several times taking a step back. Harry shook his head. “You want me to concentrate on two different things at once?”
Edge nodded stepping back from the two back beside Hermione who had come closer when the connection broke. “You need to be able to. When gazing you still need to be aware of your surroundings and what you are personally feeling. Both can influence the way that they react to you and you need to be able to recognize when danger is approaching so you don’t get yourself killed while unawares.”
“Funny he should mention that when I’ve been standing here for at least three minutes now.”
Ron and Hermione turned to the intruder wands raised and ready. Harry hissed as he transformed putting himself in front of his friends. Edge just froze with his eyes wide. No… that voice.
“It is kind of cute him attaching himself to humans again but I really wasn’t expecting you.”
The stranger stared at Harry with his head tilted. Dark hair slightly covered a whiskey colored eye. The pale man was strikingly handsome and stood maybe an inch or two taller than Edge. He looked to be in his early to mid-thirties. His clothes were worn but looked clean enough giving a clue to someone that never settled in one place too long. He was curious and amused. Harry growled recognizing the voice as well but not placing where he knew it from.
“Kind of foolish of you to come between me and a meal like you did the other night.” Harry’s fur bristled. The wolf; it was the wolf. Edge turned around with a semi glare of his own still slightly in shock. “Though, I do need to give that human of yours some credit. That curse he used left me lame for a whole night.” The stranger smirked. “I am most impressed.”
Edge stepped up in front of the snarling panther and his human friends. “Dante.”
Dante lost his smirk his expression turning almost sad. “Hello, Edge.”
