Chapter 3: Aroma

            September first found Harry sitting on his bed in Severus’s quarters fretting over the students who would be arriving within the hour. It had been an interesting summer for Harry to say the least; between learning about vampirism, learning how to feed inconspicuously, becoming accustomed to his new heightened senses, and gaining control over the blood lust Harry had his hands full. The first day Severus felt Harry was in control enough to be around humans without attacking someone Dumbledore came to visit. They had discussed what was going to happen when the students came back and where Harry would live. The decision was that Harry would live with Snape.

            If someone had asked Harry a year ago how he would feel about living with Snape he would have had quite a few choice words, but by the time that decision was made Harry was surprisingly fine with it. From the beginning of Harry’s new life Snape had treated him different than he ever had before, he treated Harry with respect after the first feed and that was something he had never done before. Harry had expected Snape to go back to the arse he had always been but it never happened, so a couple weeks into August Harry plucked up the courage to ask Snape why he was being nice. Snape had asked Harry if he wanted the whole truth or partial truth, Harry chose to know it all.

**Flashback**

            “Well the first reason I’m being nice to you Harry is because no fledgling should ever have to go through the first few years alone, I was alone without my sire I did not want the same for you. Frankly I believe the vampire who created you is little better than a monster for leaving you in that alley alone. The main reason I’m doing this for you Harry is my mate, and to understand I will have to tell you my story.” Severus had said running a hand through his hair, a nervous habit he seemed to have picked up from Harry. “I was on a death eater mission to try and gain the support of a vampire coven for the Dark Lord, I ended up being turned to show my master that no one controlled the vampires. That was a few months after your birth and by that time your mother, who was my only friend, had forgiven me for what you saw in my pensive. Before I continue I think it’s time I explained about mates. Your mate is the one person in the world you are destined to spend your life with, if you do not find your mate by the time a year has passed after you were turned you will slowly and painfully start to die. A vampire’s mate is always a human and can be either male or female. To avoid the slow painful death you need to find your mate, and convince them to willingly let you turn them, if your mate refuses you will die at the end of the first year. The only way a vampire can survive without their mate is if their mate dies before they can be turned, or if they die after they are turned. So to stay alive longer than a year Harry you need to find your mate and convince them to join with you forever as a vampire within a year.”

            At that point Harry had bombarded Snape with many questions and had gotten his answers, finally Harry had one last question “How does this have anything to do with you helping me?” he had asked

            “Because Harry, the day I went to your house in Godric’s Hollow I found my mate, it took me months to convince them to change for me. The day the Dark Lord attacked your parents was the day before your father was to join me in immortality forever. When I showed up at the cottage and saw my mate, the man I had hated in school and fallen in love with over the last few months lying on the stairs part of my soul died with him. Then I found your mother, my friend from the age of ten my friend who loved me enough to give up her husband so I would live; and I broke down, I had lost everyone who meant anything to me. I sat on the floor of your nursery and cried, it wasn’t until I heard you crying reaching out for me that I realized that I had to survive to protect you, the son of my mate. Even so I hated you until recently because you look so much like James, you were a constant reminder of what I had lost and have to live without. Now you know”

**End Flashback**

            After that enlightening conversation Harry’s and Snape’s relationship had changed drastically. Severus, as Harry now called him, because the father figure and sire that Harry had never had. So when Harry found out he was to live with Severus he was relieved, he was already concerned about being around the students so having a place to sleep away from the temptation was a great relief.

            “Harry the train has arrived in Hogsmead we should head up to the Great Hall” Severus called knocking on Harry’s bedroom door.

            Harry sighed and left his room to see Severus dressed in his black robes for the first time since last school year “Severus, I’m scared that I won’t be able to control the thirst the last thing I want to do is hurt my friends” he muttered as he pulled on his trainers.

            “You won’t Harry, you haven’t attacked any of the teachers you will be just fine. Now remember you need to eat some food or else people will get suspicious, but if you eat more than a few bites you will get ill, so move your food around on your plate to make it look like you ate so your friends won’t notice. Speaking of your friends, have you decided how you’re going to tell them?” Severus asked as they walked out of the place Harry had come to consider home.

            “I will take them aside the moment they are in the castle and explain what happened, they are probably angry at me for not responding to their owls” Harry said as they took off at vampire speed to the Entrance Hall arriving moments before the first students.

            Severus face turned into the scowl he always wore around the students “Well good luck Harry, meet me at home after the feast. We will be unable to leave the castle every day to feed now so Albus has found a few squibs who wish to be our…donors as it were for the school year. They have quarters attached to ours that only we can access” Severus explained in a low voice no human would be able to hear.

            Harry felt his fangs begin to lengthen at the thought of feeding, he quickly cleared his mind and took a few deep breaths to get himself under control “That was kind of him, oh! There they are! I’ll see you at home!” Harry said quickly as he began walking at a fast human walk towards his friends.

            “Harry!” Hermione called out relief evident in her voice as she ran at her friend and threw her arms around his neck holding him close “Oh Harry why didn’t you write back we’ve been so worried about you! Are you alright! What happened! Have you been here all summer?!” she gushed as Ron walked up to the two of them with a smile and clapped Harry on the back.

            Harry inwardly flinched at the burn in his throat caused by Hermione’s closeness, but other than that he found it relatively easy to resist from sinking his fangs into her neck that was level with his mouth, “Maybe this will be easier than I thought” he mused hopefully. “Hermione calm down” he laughed as she let him go “I’m fine, I’ve been here all summer and I didn’t write back because I’ve been busy and I couldn’t explain in a letter. Let’s go over here so I can explain before the feast” Harry suggested walking over to an empty classroom nearby.

            Once in the classroom Ron spoke for the first time “Wow mate, you grew over the summer your almost as tall as me now. So what happened?”

            Harry quickly explained what had happened the last day of school, and that Severus was a vampire too and was helping Harry adjust to his new life.

            Ron and Hermione remained silent through Harry’s explanation but their horrified faces said multitudes, once Harry was done Hermione was the first to speak “Harry, you are a dark creature now, I know you would never want to hurt anyone but the truth is you need to hurt people to survive. I just can’t deal with that, I can’t be around you constantly afraid of being your next meal, please stay away from me” she said nervously with an apologetic and frightened look on her face as she backed away from her former friend.

            Harry’s hopeful expression fell from his face as he felt the bottom of his stomach drop and his heart sink, “I…I understand Hermione you need to feel safe. Ron?” Harry asked letting a little hope slip back in as he turned to face his best friend.

            “G-Get away from me! You’re not my friend anymore, my friend died when the monster was born. You stay away from me and my family!” Ron hissed angrily as he followed Hermione out of the classroom neither of them turning their backs on Harry.

            Harry stood in that classroom for over an hour just staring at the door his former friends had left through, his heart was breaking; the two people who swore to be there for him no matter what abandoned him. Vaguely Harry was aware that the feast was over and that the students had headed to their common rooms, but he didn’t care he kept replaying the scene of his friends leaving over and over. “I don’t need them! If they can’t accept what I am they can go to hell!” he finally thought a while later. With a sigh Harry decided he should head home, Severus was probably getting worried, forcing himself to move at a human pace Harry left the classroom. The moment he entered the Entrance Hall the scent of all the students who had been there washed over him, they smelt good like all humans but there was a faint lingering scent mixed in that made Harry’s mouth water and his fangs fully extend instantly. Without even thinking Harry was instantly tracking that scent running at full speed, within seconds he was in the dungeons close to the Slytherin common room. Harry saw a student just ahead of him and the overwhelming scent was coming from him, the aroma was so strong that Harry couldn’t think. A split second later Harry had the student pinned against the wall, he briefly registered that the source of the mouth-watering smell was Draco Malfoy before his fangs sank into the soft flesh of the other boys neck. The moment Malfoy’s blood hit Harry’s tongue he knew there was something different about this human, Draco’s blood set Harry’s body on fire it was like nothing he had ever tasted. His entire body was singing in pleasure as Harry swallowed the first mouthful of the amazing blood, moaning Harry moved closer pressing his body against Malfoy’s. Somewhere in the back of Harry’s mind he realised that for the first time feeding made him sexually aroused, he could feel his hard length pressing into Draco’s hip, it took exactly two seconds longer for Harry to put two and two together.

Instantly Harry jumped away from the terrified blonde who pressed a hand to his neck where Harry’s fangs had just been “Potter?” Draco said shakily, fear and wonder written all over his face.

Harry stood there panting with the effort it took to stop feeding off the young man Harry had just realised was his mate, “Draco…I’m so sorry…” he whispered before running as fast as he could to Severus’s quarters leaving a stunned Draco standing there with a painful erection staring at the spot Harry had been half a second ago.
