Chapter 3; Introductions
A/n: Hi darlings, Green here once again with an update. I have to say I’m really surprising myself with how quickly I'm cranking these chapters out, usually it's much longer like months in between. Lol maybe it's because you guys are giving me amazing reviews that are feeding my nagging bunnies. Now for review responses;
Unneeded: Thank you, I'm glad you like it so far and I know the typos are bad but when I posted this yesterday I was like half asleep so I forgot to do spell check -.-' I'll fix them whenever I can though
Tachimaru: thanks for your vote! And I'm glad you love it so far, I do too :)
-SinfulMind-: ha! You crack me up hun, oh and thanks for the confidence boost as well. I sometimes worry that I'm the only fan of my writing, glad to see I'm not the only one.
Warnings for this Chapter: Vulgar language >.<
Oh one more thing before I give you the chapter, keep feeding the bunnies! Or they might eat me alive O.O
Chapter 3;
Introductions
The silence in the Great Hall was so deafening that one would be able to hear a tree fall in the woods and abolish that silly riddle. The vampire lord was revealing in the shocked faces and all out gaping he was receiving from the professors and little apprentices, one would say he was almost preening, but then again if one did say that they would die a gruesome death as vampires as old as he do NOT preen, they smirk and gloat but not preen. Preening was for peacocks and Malfoy's.
Reluctantly he pulled his eyes away from the raven haired beauty he had been locked in a staring contest with and turned his attention to the Headmaster of this school, who's blasted blue eyes were twinkling so brightly they would blind the sun. He smiled none the less and walked with the grace of a lion towards the aging wizard. "Albus, good to finally see you my old friend" he said, his smile widening when Albus bowed at the waist then gripped the Lord's forearm at the elbow which he returned immediately before dropping his hand once more to his side.
"I'm glad you could come and so soon Dante, I trust the travel wasn't too hard on you?" Albus replied his eyes still twinkling merrily while the vampire, Dante merely rolled his eyes waving his hand in the air arrogantly then turned slightly to look at his traveling companion, who had up until this moment been all but ignored. When Dante's attention switched to him so did the rest of those in the hall.
"It was fine as usual Albus and we would have gotten here sooner but Aiden had a hard time getting his familiar into her cage." here he smirked when the other man flushed and glared, "I hope it won't be a trouble to keep the beast here while we stay?" he added ignoring the new man, Aiden's indignant shout.
"Beast, Beast, yeh are a bloody beast forcin' meh poor Kitty into that blasted cage!" Aiden growled, his Scottish accent even more pronounced while he swore so heavily in Gaelic that Minerva looked like she might faint from shock. Dante of course chuckled, turning his back on the still ranting man and looked around at the other's who had been silent since the new comers had made their appearance. "Perhaps it would be a good idea to explain why we are here Albus" he reminded the aging wizard then stepped away to calm Aiden down who was still ranting and raving although a little more quiet than before.
"ah yes please forgive me, the mind goes and all that" Albus replied with a soft chuckle before he turned to Harry who turned to look at his grandfather, curiosity shining in his green eyes, "Harry I have asked Lord Dante Javier if he could let me borrow his Mage, Aiden Hightower" he paused when both Hermione and Harry gasped softly, "Ah I knew you would recognize that name, yes Mr. Hightower is a Mage Healer and a very well known one as well. He has agreed to mentor you so you may complete your Mastery but on the one condition that you stay here at the castle. So what do you-?"
"YES!" Harry blurted then blushed bright red as his friends laughed and his parents glared at him, "oops sorry grandpa. I meant to say that yes I can live with that condition" he explained before he went over to the two other men, skirting around Dante to stand in front of the Mage Healer, offering his hand to him while secretly studying him, "it's an honor to meet you Mr. Hightower"
Aiden raised a sculpted black eyebrow, slightly amused that he was being studied while his lord nearly vibrated with anger that his soon to be student was admiring someone other than him. The Scotsman always wondered what other people saw when they looked at him, if someone were to ask what he saw he would answer with a 'drop dead gorgeous Scotsman' then grin, but since he was letting Harry study him, he remained silent.
What Harry saw with a young man in his early thirties, with long choppy onyx black hair that fell just below his shoulders, There were slashes of bright crimson red hair mixed in with the black and the hair frames a strong elegant face, high cheek bones, slightly crooked nose and a mouth that was perfect for smiling. His eyes were a gorgeous bright blue, even brighter than Ron's. Aiden had a slime frame, tight lithe muscles covered his arms that were exposed from his muggle t-shirt and his long legs were encased in black jeans; black cow boy boots encased his feet.
When Aiden saw those green eyes drift from his shoes back up to his face, his face split into a grin and he finally took that hand and hand. "Ah the honor is all mine Harry, I've heard from my colleagues at work that you are quite the prodigy, I look forward to mentor you" he said, his Scottish accent not as pronounced now that he wasn't angry anymore, "why don't you show me to my room and we can discuss what you wish to learn from me?" he asked then chuckled when Harry all but dragged him from the room, talking a mile a minute before he doors shut behind him, leaving Dante alone with the others.
Dante felt a growl rumbled deep within his chest, his eyes narrowed at the closed doors. He just knew that the healer had done that on purpose as revenge for his earlier comment about Kitty being a beast. He turned around, shaking off the cloying strings of jealousy and looked at the others that were still looking at him, except for his little beauty's four friends, no they were still staring at the doors with torn expressions on their faces. Taking a quick look into their thoughts he discovered they were torn between going with Harry to make sure he was safe with Aiden and staying in the Hall to find out more about him.
"Your Harry is fine" he said suddenly, causing the four youths to finally look at him, "the Hightower’s have been my right hands for thousands of years, even while I was asleep. Harry is in good hands I assure you"
"How do we know we can trust you?" Ron asked, sky blue colored eyes narrowing in suspicion, "we don't even know who you are"
“Ah of course where are my manners?” Dante asked as he turned around to address the members of his mate’s rather large family. His unique eyes took in the faces of each person; his vast memory pulling up the names for each one then settled on the red head once more, “allow me to introduce myself then Ronald Black. My name is Arnaloss Diem Cassius Darius Artemis Dante Javier Casstallenius, however since that is extremely long winded and entirely too snobbish you and your friends may call me Dante.” He smirked when he looked at Hermione, who had been mouthing each name and now the young female mage seemed to be itching to leave to go somewhere.
“It seems your friend might have a clue as to who I am so I would suggest that you Ronald as well as your husband Draco, and your friend Blaise follow young Hermione to the library.” He paused until he had the curly haired water mage’s attention and that smirk turned into a charming smile, “I would suggest the restriction section, near the back my dear. There is a rather thick old volume at the very top shelf, it will give you all the information you need.” Hermione nodded eagerly before she hurried from the Great Hall, her friends hot on her heels.
“I trust you shall be staying here while Aiden is teaching young Harry?” Albus asked with a small chuckle, ignoring the incredulous looks he received from the adults that were still in the hall, “I can have a room prepared for you that will be close to your charge’s if you wish.”
“That’s no need Albus, I will stay yes but I already have a room in mind. Now if you excuse me it has been a rather tiring day and I must retire. A pleasure to meet you all, I hope to get to know each of you intimately as the days pass, good night.” The midnight blue haired vampire bowed regally before he swept from the room, his duster jacket snapped in his wake that even made Severus Snape shudder slightly with that small show of power.
“Well now, I suppose dinner is over after that little show? Good I’ll be retiring to my quarters as well, good night.” Albus said with a grandfatherly smile and started to leave but the doors slammed shut. The headmaster turned twinkling sapphire eyes to his adopted son Thomas, whose hand had flicked to shut those doors, “is something the matter dear boy?”
Tom’s left green eye actually twitched, causing Severus, Lucius and Remus to take a healthy step away from the older wizard, “is something the matter you ask? You just invite a powerful and extremely dangerous vampire into the school and you have the gall to ask if something is WRONG!” his magic exploded in his anger, the table tipping with the force while those who hadn’t taken a step back stumbled from the backlash.
The twinkle in the headmaster’s eyes vanished while he turned to fully face his son, looking at him seriously, “I may be a meddling old goat Thomas but when it comes to the safety of my only grandchild, I take that very seriously. Dante owes me a life debt, for something that he can explain if you ask him as it is not my place. I know how it looks son but I only took the measures to make sure that Harry stayed here where it would be safe for him. Aiden is an extremely talented young man and he will be able to teach Harry everything he needs to know. If you wish to disappoint your son then by all means send the mage healer and vampire away.” He paused, the silent almost deafening that Tom had to fight the urge to squirm under that steely gaze, “I thought not. Now again I say good night to all of you,”
Albus once again turned, waving his hand at the closed doors and they swung open. He walked through, whistling a tune that only he probably knew and disappeared from view leaving the rest of the stunned adults behind. Once he was gone, Sirius let out a long whistle while looking at Tom. He grinned suddenly when he saw that Tom was looking rather guilty, “Albus one, Tom zero,” he said followed by a bark like laughter that was soon joined in by everyone else, including Tom.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I don’t see why we should believe this guy, for all we know he could be some extremely good actor and is plotting to kidnap Harry right under our noses.” Ron said once he and the others arrived at the library. Hermione threw her brother a dirty look before she went into the restricted section to look for that tome, Blaise following to give his wife a hand.
Draco stayed beside his fiery husband, laying a calming hand on his arm. “Think logically dear please? Albus would not bring in someone that would hurt Harry, whether they think they are a good actor or not. Our headmaster, though daft he sometimes may be, he is adept at spotting fake from fact, especially when it comes to Harry’s safety. He did this so our friend could stay here, where we will be able to ground his magic and elements-“
“That’s what I don’t understand too,” Ron interrupted and ignored the icy glare Draco aimed at him, “I thought Harry was studying with Poppy? That’s why he came with us to Hogwarts right? So she could mentor him as a healer. Why are you suddenly saying that he wanted to leave?”
“Well if you had let me finish before you interrupted me,” Draco said with another glare, which was returned by a sheepish smile, “Harry came into Severus’ lab today, he said that although Poppy was a good healer, she didn’t know a single thing about the type’s of healing magic that he needs to learn. Harry was going to leave Hogwarts and go to Saint Mungo’s, where he would have been separated from us, which would have spelled disaster for everyone including Harry. That’s why Albus brought in healer Aiden and this Dante fellow.”
“Oh okay I see now but I still don’t trust him,” Ron said stubbornly, crossing his arms over his chest while Draco rolled his eyes at his husband and remained silent. It wasn’t long until the pair heard Hermione’s cry of triumph before she came out of the restricted section holding a large dusty old tome. “It was where he said it was, on the very top shelf.” She explained eagerly as she placed the heavy book onto the table with a soft thud then cracked it open, inhaling the musty smell.
“It’s a book on vampire lore,” Draco murmured looking at the spine then over Hermione’s shoulder as she looked at the table of contents then started to go through the book carefully, “Wait Hermione go back to that last page.” He kept his eyes glued to the book as his friend did as he asked and turned the previous page back over.
Four sets of eyes widened simultaneously as a detailed picture of the very same vampire stared back at them. However this vampire was much more barbaric, wearing very little clothing and crimson blood decorating his pale alabaster skin that seemed to shine and glitter even on the old books page. “Bloody hell,” Ron breathed softly, his eyes drifting from the picture to the elegant looking script next to that picture, “He’s a Vampire Lord.”
“No,” Hermione said just as softly, her brown eyes scanning the text a lot faster than the other three, “He isn’t just a vampire Lord Ron. He is The Vampire Lord, an Ancient.” She turned from the page to look at her friends, brown eyes wide with wonder, “This Dante…. He is the Original Vampire.”
Harry was positively vibrating with excitement as he left his new mentor’s chambers. They had spent the last two hours just talking, Aiden letting the younger Mage pick his brain on the types of healing magic he knew and what he could possibly learn. There was a wide grin on his face, his emerald green eyes twinkling just like his grandfather’s. ‘Merlin I can’t wait to start my apprenticeship with him tomorrow,’ raven haired male thought as he walked up the stairs towards his rooms, “I doubt I will be able to get to sleep tonight. Note to self, thank grandpa for doing this.’
The young mage had just turned the corner when he was suddenly thrown rather gently against the wall and pinned there was a cold body. A heady scent, one that smelled of amber, must, vanilla and cinnamon invaded his senses and made his knees want to buckle but he refused to give in and shook his long black hair to clear his head. Once the fog had cleared, Harry blinked when he found himself staring into honey gold eyes that were shining with hunger and need. It caused his stomach to flip flop while he breathing quickened with fright.
“Hmm finally we are alone Cher,” Dante purred as he ran his nose along the shell of Harry’s ear, breathing in the scent of pine needles, cinders, fresh sea water and crisp mountain air. That scent was intoxicating and left him wondering what his little mate’s blood would taste like. “I was a little disappointed and hurt when you ran off with Aiden like an eager little puppy, though it also was very cute.”
Harry’s eyes darkened slightly from that purred voice before he once again shook his head to clear it. “Well I’m flattered Dante really I am, but since I don’t know you at all and I have this thing with personal space, you might want to back off before I decide to freeze your cock and balls then break then into little itty bitty pieces.” And to prove his point, he placed a hand on the crotch of Dante’s pants and concentrated his magic to form icicles which made the ancient vampire hiss and back off.
“Feisty, and with a vulgar mouth, I wonder what dirty little things I could get you to say while your in the throws of passion little one.” He purred, ivory fangs glinting in the dim lighting of the hallway.
Harry scowled as he blew pieces of stray black hair out of his eyes then glared at the vampire, “first of all, no one in this century talks like that and second, I don’t submit to jerks like you. If you’re interested in just my ass then you can stare at it while I walk to my rooms and that’s it. If you try to attack me again then I will sick ALL of my elements on your dead ass and show you not to mess with a Dumbledore.” He paused, eyes darkening that they almost looked black, “however if you want something more than just a romp in the bed then you need to get to know me first. Oh and by me, I also mean my family as well. And believe me, if you think my threat was bad then you better not piss off my mother, because my anger is a walk in the park compared to his.”
After that rant, Harry turned around with a huff and proceeded to walk proudly away, though he did add a little sashay to his walk to entice that vampire, since even though he was acting like a pig, he had to admit that it brought a little shiver to his spine.
Dante on the other hand watched as Harry disappeared behind a portrait, a little shudder of his own running down his spine. He had no idea that his little mate had such a backbone! Normally he hated backbone in his lovers, but no his emerald beauty’s attitude brought a fire to his belly and made his fangs elongate. “Good night my little mate, I look forward to chasing you.” He purred before he turned and went to his own quarters, to retire and think of a new plan to get Harry into his bed.

A/N: Bloody hell I am so sorry it has taken me this long to crank this one out. I do apologize that its shorter than my last but I couldn’t write anymore without revealing stuff that I want to put in later so forgive me.
But good news is I had so much fun writing this chapter! Especially Dante ^^. Ok so the next chapter probably won’t be out until next week, maybe I don’t know. But that will be the one with Charlie Bill and the twins.
Oh! And before I forget, I edited my poll. Unneeded pointed something very important out to me, it’s explained in the poll so I ask that you read it and know that everything is flowing smoothly now. So until next time my faithful readers. Ta!

A/N: Hey guys me again, I just checked my reviews like seconds after I posted this chapter and I saw reviews from Sablesilverrain and Goldpen that I wanted to include a reply to in the chapter so here it is:
Sablesilverrain: first off thank you for your review and I agree with it completely. Second no I don't have a Beta and I probably wont get one only because I've had problems with beta's before with other stories. I've read through my chapters myself and found the same mistakes that you and the others have. The reason I haven't fixed them is because I don't have the patience nor the energy to go back through my work to make sure its perfect. I will though, when I have a few days sit down and go through each chapter and fix what needs to be fixed, you just need to bear with me and have patience. But other than that I'm glad you like it so far and I hope I do keep your interest, it would be a shame to loose you as a reader.
Goldpen: Thank you, I'm glad you love it so far. I love it too and I'm writing it! xD
Ta guys! Until next week
