Chapter 28

"Me?" Harry asked hesitantly. "I'm a horcrux. You mean to say that I have a piece…" he trailed off as he tried to get a hold on his suddenly turbulent emotions. He gripped the armrests of his chair tightly as he struggled to contain his feelings.

He breathed deeply for a moment before his green eyes flashed open and he pinned his glare on the Headmaster. "You mean to say that I have a piece of that madman inside me?"

"I'm afraid so, Harry," Dumbledore replied wearily.

"How do you know? How long have you known?" he asked steadily.

Hermione shifted in her seat. This could get very ugly very quickly. But they had to tell him. He had every right to know what he was facing.

Dumbledore sat back and pulled his glasses from his face. He polished the small lenses with the purple fabric of his robe before he spoke. "I'm afraid that I've failed you, Harry. I failed your parents and I vowed to help watch you in their stead and I'm afraid that I've let them down. Tell me, what do you know of the night that Voldemort attacked your parents?"

"I only know what has been told to me," Harry answered tightly. "That my father tried to ward him off and that my mother died because she wouldn't stand aside and allow him to kill me."

Dumbledore nodded. "That happened and so much more. Voldemort split his soul when he killed your mother. Part of it vanished into the ether and the other part sought out the only other living thing in the room. You."

"I mean no disrespect, sir, but that didn't answer either of my questions," Harry accused.

"I'm getting there. This is where Hermione comes in," Dumbledore placated.

"Hermione?" Harry asked. "What does she have to do with all this? For that matter, what does Malfoy have to do with this?"

"One thing at a time, my dear boy. Now, do you remember at the end of your second year? After you exited the chamber of secrets, do you remember the ring I placed on my desk?"

"It was the same ring that you have now," he answered, "But what happened to it? Why is it all black and charred like it has been burnt?"

"That's what happened when I killed the piece of Voldemort hidden inside. Now, let me ask you this, do you remember what happened when I placed the ring near you?"

Understanding lit up in Harry's eyes. "You knew then?" he asked quietly.

"I didn't know for certain," the old wizard admitted. "But I had a strong suspicion. Couple that with the fact that you seem to know what he is feeling and the visions that you have been having recently. Then Hermione came along and confirmed it."

"And how did she come to find out for sure?" he asked as he turned in his seat to stare at her. "How do you know for sure?"

Hermione gulped. Now was her moment of reckoning. "There was never a potion's accident Harry."

He looked at her a moment, confusion written all over his face. She decided to make it easy. She released her fangs and Harry flinched as they clicked into place.

"The night in the forest," she began. "The night when Grawp carried me off. Malfoy was the one to find me."

Harry sat back in his chair in shock. "Malfoy's a vampire!" He struggled a moment with his chaotic thoughts. Hermione could hear the whirlwind that was happening inside his mind. "He bit you! He turned you!"

He was on his feet in a flash with his wand out and aimed straight at her mate. Hermione shot to her feet and stood in front of him, shielding him from Harry's wrath. "Please, Harry," she pleaded. "It's not as bad as you think." She'd learned a lot from the book he had gotten her. She learned that he really couldn't control his urge to mate with her and turn her once he'd tasted her blood. He'd struggled with himself the whole year up until that point. But she wouldn't be able to explain all that to Harry and make him understand. They were a different species now altogether.

"Why do you protect him?" he cried. "He stole your life. He killed you!"

"I have no choice but to protect him," she explained gently. "He is my maker and my mate. I'm sorry that I had to deceive you Harry. It wasn't safe for me to tell you at the time. But in the light of everything else that is happening, it's of very little consequence now. Please, put your wand away and sit so that I can tell you everything."

Hermione went on to explain how she found out about her special ability. She told him about the mission to uncover the horcruxes. How she found out where and what they were. She explained how she theorized that Voldemort had made on accidentally the night that he had murdered his parents. She explained how they were keeping tabs on his movements.

"So that's where you've been on the weekends?" he asked quietly. "I did notice, you know. You're my best friend. I knew that there was something that you were hiding from me."

She smiled tightly and wiped a bloody tear form her cheek. "I really am sorry, Harry. This has been eating at me for months. I only hope that you can forgive me."

He smiled slightly at her, although she could see through his attempt to seem happy. He was actually quite depressed. She saw that he knew that there was no way out for him. That he would have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

He turned back to Dumbledore. "There's no way of surviving this war, is there? If I'm a horcrux, I'll have to die in order for someone else to kill him. I'm not really the chosen one."

End Note:...Thoughts? I'm itching to get to all the good parts. The last few chapters have been filler and giving all the background. Then there's the final battle. I have a few twists in store for that as well. Drop me line, leave a review, or if you're reading this on adultfanfiction, TWCS, or AO3 leave a rating or kudos if you don't want to type a remark. Let me know if you're still into my take on vamp Draco.
