Chapter two: Mate calling

Two vampires woke up in a state of shock and happiness. Draco and Lucius Malfoy were both sleeping peacefully up until that point. It was past midnight now. Lucius first to register what was actually happening as he was the elder vampire and had of course more experience in these matters, although this had never happened before. He had never felt this pull in his heart and stomach alerting him of a new presence and one that needed to be found quickly. Draco of course had only just turned as it was his birthday only months ago. He was still a young vampire and so still learning the different feelings and urges that came with that title.

Lucius how ever quickly dressed, ‘this is going to be a long night’ he though to himself hill dressing in his finest. He was not about to meet his mate in his night wear although the pull was that strong he would have gladly done this if his mate had been closer. But from Lucius calculations his mate was at least 30 miles away and that would have just been embarrassing to stalk around in ones night wear.

Draco still had a confused look on his face but that did not hide the bright smile that light his face. He has never felt this happy for some reason. It then came to him that this was not such a good feeling. He was not complete. Like a piece of him was missing. He has not felt this before...why now? The smile fading from his pale, delicate features. He got up and dressed much like his father. He would have to ask about these strange feelings. He needed to leave the manor and leave it now! But why? Draco was feeling many emotions at once and this was not a nice feeling. Both Lucius and Draco left their bedrooms at the same time and meet half way down that hall.

“Draco what are you doing up at this late hour?” Lucius asked suspiciously. Lucius had a suspicion that is young vampire had been sneaking out and killing in the dead of night in a near by muggle town. Lucius did not care of course about these damn muggles, but what about the Malfoy name? No, that could not be tainted with the label of a murder.

“Father I need to speak with you. I have a strange feeling. I am not sure how to describe it... I kind of feel happy...no confused...no lost... I don’t know what I feel, it is like some thing is missing and I feel I must leave the manor now” Draco sounded more and more distressed as his explanation went on. Lucius sighed he hoped that this would not happen but it was not uncommon for a vampire to have more than one mate.

“Come Draco I have much to discuss with you.” With no further explanation Lucius left in the direction of his study. Draco had no choice but to obey his father and mentor but he so did want to leave the manor and find the missing piece of him. Lucius turned into his study, a large room with many books and strange artefacts with a large writing desk in the centre. Lucius took the seat behind the desk and instructed Draco to sit in front of him.

“Draco I know the feelings you are going though for I am feeling the same as you.” Lucius sighed “Draco our mate seems to have been turned tonight and now they are calling us. Of cause they do not know this as they cannot feel the same we do but they will soon. We must tread carefully Draco, he or she is young and does not know our ways. We must find this person or the feelings of happiness and joy we have finally got a mate will turn into feelings of pain and sorrow that we are not with them.”

Draco knew that one day he would find his mate but he knew nothing of this pull he felt or the feelings he felt. As the minutes ticked by he was getting more and more desperate to leave the manor and search for his mate. Draco stood suddenly.

“I must go father I need to see this person. I need to leave now!” Draco stated firmly. Lucius took no notice of his son’s tone, he was to feeling the deep need to leave in search of his mate and fast. Trying to clam his feeling and ignore the pain that was starting to show it’s self in his heart and stomach he answered Draco calmly.

“Draco you will not go any where with out me. You are still young and this person is my mate too, I know of what you feel and I too need to leave now, but we leave together.” Draco nodded vigorously, the thought of leaving and seeing his mate bringing the happiness that had once been there back in full force. Both men left the manor without packing or preparing, there was no time.

Harry potter had a restless night, by five in the morning he could not lay there any longer he had started feeling hungry hours ago and the pain was only getting worse. He knew he had to feed but he did not want to hurt Sirius again that he had done the day before. He decided that he need to move make him self busy and not think about it he had spent hours in the dark thinking about the thick read substance that just felt so delightful on his tongue and in his stomach.

‘Ah ENOUGH!’ he though, beginning to get frustrated with himself and the thought of it bringing back the fangs that had been there the night before. Sighing he got up and dressed, and made his way down stairs to do some thing... anything.

Not long after he had started to clean the kitchen Sirius came in with a puzzled look on his face at the sight on Harry on his hands and knees scrubbing the floor with all his might.
“Harry?” Sirius asked the frown deepening in his features at the look on his godsons face. It was a look of pain and desperation; he looked whiter than he had ever before. “Harry, you’re hungry.” Sirius said stating the obvious. Sirius sat down at the table and motion for Harry to join him. This was the part which scared Harry the most he did not want to hurt the only person he had ever though of as a father.

“Come Harry” Sirius said warmly. Harry slowly got up and joined his godfather at the table. “Harry, why did you not wake me? This must be painful for you. How long have you been like this?” Sirius said in a rush, concern filling his deep eyes. Harry did not get a chance to answer his godfather as he was pulled by the back of his neck closer to his godfather. “Nice and slow now Harry, you wont hurt me if you do it slowly.” Harry hesitated for a moment, then he could see the blood pumping in his veins and could not control himself any longer. Harry bit into his godfather slower this time and with more care. “That’s it Harry take what you need, not too much Harry.” Sirius said as he could feel himself getting more and more light headed from the lack of blood. Harry drew back slowly and licked the seeping wound and it closed instantaneously.

“Did I hurt you?” Harry gasped eyes travelling over the point he had just bitten not noticing any mark there.

Sirius chuckled “No, no I am fine. You are getting better at that you just need to learn when to stop. No need to worry” he added at the look on Harry’s face. “This is some thing every vampire goes though. Look I am the best one to talk to you about this, do as Dumbledore says we have a big library I know there are books there which will help you.” Harry nodded in thanks and left the kitchen heading for the library.

Harry spent most of the day there until he could not stand the pain again, wanting to feed. Sirius had pleaded with Harry to let him know before he gets into that state, it was very distressing for Sirius to see Harry warn like that. Harry however did find out many things in that day, some good and some did not sound so appealing to Harry. Harry read much about his mate or mates. He could have one or more mates and they would be vampires. It did not matter the vampires which sex his mates where. He would be able to sense them and would always be pulled towards them. The book said that this pull would not take effect for some days due to the fact he was new to the vampire way of life. When he found his mate or mates they would mark them as one of their own and he would do the same to them. The part that Harry found most disturbing was the fact that all vampires had the capability to be pregnant and have offspring, this of course would only happen to the submissive one in the relationship. ‘That is going to be me I know it! It always is’ Harry though glumly. Vampires usually looked very striking and alluring therefore making it easier to feed. Vampires can kill but most choose to take what is needed and leave with out causing harm; they have chemicals in their spit which heal the wounds. Harry then though of Hogwarts at this point. What would he do? How could he tell his friends? How could he live with them in the same dorms when they know this? ‘I will have to leave I cannot do this, I cannot hurt my friends. I am hurting Sirius, I know I am.” Harry still felt the guilt from the night before at the sounds of pain that he had heard form Sirius when he had feed from him, he still believed he was hurting him even with the encouraging words Sirius gave him each time he feed.
Harry had read enough, he had to leave he could not do this any more. Walking straight to his room he stated to pack once again. There was a knock at the door. Sirius had been checking him every 3 or so hours knowing that Harry would need to feed soon. Harry sighed and ignored the knock. There is was again. Harry walked over to the door and there stood Sirius but he was not alone. Lurking in the shadows stood the greasy haired potions master.

“Potter!” he said sharply. “Get down stirs I need to discuss the arrangements for next year with you.” Sirius growled at Snape.

“Snape I will not have you speaking to Harry like that in my house. You are not in you dingy old dungeons now!” Sirius barked at Snape. Snape smirked at him before walking off to the kitchen. Sirius glared at his back before turning back to Harry.

“Come now Harry feed, you will need your strength to shout at Snape.” He said with a smile, knowing full well the temper that Harry possessed. Walking into Harry’s bedroom he frowned at the sight of the packed trunk. “Going some where?” he asked curiously. Harry just lowered his head, not pushing the subject any further Sirius led him into his neck to feed. Once he had done they made their way down stairs and were faced with the rather irate potions master.

“I have not got all day Potter. Now sit!” he ordered gaining another growl from Sirius. “The headmaster has ordered me to tell you about the up coming year. This is your last year potter, no slacking will be allowed even with this new situation you have found yourself in. Typical golden boy, being the boy who lived was just not enough for you was it Potter?” he sneered at Harry “you will report to myself and madam Pomfery every two days for the blood and a potion which will stop the cravings until the following meeting. You must not feed from a student!” he finally snapped.

“Harry would not do that Snape. And I have told you about not talking to Harry like that. If that is all you have come to say then get out of my house you greasy old bat.” Sirius snapped angrily. ‘No one will speak to my godson like that’ he though. Snape just glared at Sirius.

“Potter see you at school. Black.” he said with a sneer on his face with a nod of his head he disappeared with a ‘pop’.

Harry lowered his head. “Harry what’s wrong? Sirius asked.
“I am hurting you, I will be hurting my friends and I don’t even know if I will have any friends after this!” Harry said getting more upset with each word. Sirius lowered himself and engulfed Harry in a hug.

“Ron and Hermione are you best friends Harry, they will get though this with you. I am always here for you.” He could feel the slippery hot tears staining his shirt from the younger man. He rubbed circles on his back and lulled the exhausted man to sleep.

“I can feel them father they are close aren’t they?” Draco asked excitedly. He could feel the welcoming and loving presence of his mate. Lucius breathed in deeply, he could smell faintly the alluring smell of his mate, the pull getting stronger and stronger as he got closer to them.

“Yes Draco they are close now. Can you sense them, smell them, and feel them?” Draco took a deep breath like his father had done.

“Yes father, I can feel them and I can smell something.” Draco said taking another deep breath, loving the smell of his mate.

“We are getting closer, not long to wait now son. They will be ours.” Lucius said before stalking off at a fast pace with Draco at his side constantly sniffing the air. ‘Yes we are close now. They will be mine’
