Chapter 4: Truce

            “Where have you been? When you didn’t come in with Weasley and Granger I assumed things didn’t go well and you’d come back here. Imagine my surprise when I returned home and you weren’t here! Kindly explain yourself!” an irate Severus Snape hissed as the young vampire who he cared for as his own walked into the dungeon quarters they both shared. Harry was obviously upset and his hands were shaking, his eyes were glistening with a translucent pink fluid showing that Harry was near tears. Frowning Severus wondered how his outburst had had that effect on the fledgling “Harry I’m not angry I was just worried, what happened?” Snape asked as he walked over to the silent boy.

            Harry looked at his feet suddenly finding them very interesting as he struggled to find the words he needed “Hermione and Ron hate me, they think I’m dark and will feed on them, they ended our friendship, I stayed in the classroom across from the Great Hall until about ten minutes ago. I was on my way here when I smelt something amazing, without thinking I followed it. I found him, my mate…and I fed. But I stopped! It was so hard Sev! His blood…Merlin there is no words that can explain it…look at my fangs! I’m just thinking about it and my fangs are out! And it was weird Severus, I’m not gay…or don’t think I am…but when I was feeding on him my body responded that way, and so did his…I’m sorry I know you told me to hold my breath and run but I didn’t even think, my instincts just took over.” Harry rambled the tears that were pooling in his eyes ran down his cheeks tinting them pink.

            Severus stood there staring at Harry in shock for a moment “His mate is here? He had his mates blood, sounds like he took it by force, I remember that feeling, the guilt and excitement rolled into one” Severus thought before walking up to Harry and wrapping his arms around him. “Harry you stopped, that is the important thing! Many vampires who have found their mates the way you have could not stop and killed their mate. You did remarkably well my fledgling. You need to talk to him as soon as possible, tell me who he is and I will bring him here. There are things you both need to know now that this has happened” Severus whispered soothingly as he rubbed small circles on Harry’s back.

            Harry gave a bitter laugh that turned into a sob “You’re not going to like this Sev…Malfoy…Draco…Draco is my mate” he muttered terrified of Severus reaction to the fact his own godson was Harry’s mate.

            Severus froze his brain going blank, the only person he cared for more than the boy in his arms was destined to become a vampire or else he’d lose Harry. “It’s alright Harry, I’ll go get Draco, you go wash your face and calm down, I will only be a moment” Severus whispered into Harry’s hair before slowly letting the younger man go and walking out of the quarters.

            Harry sighed and walked into the bathroom connected to his room and did exactly as Severus had told him, after slashing his face with water washing away the slightly pink tears Harry sat on the edge of the bathtub and fretted over what would happen next. Within five minutes Harry heard the door to the cosy quarters open, “here it goes” he thought nervously, he stood up and walked into the sitting room taking a deep breath of air in hopes that he wouldn’t have to breath around Draco and risk hurting him again.

            “P-Potter” Draco gasped the moment Harry walked in the room, fidgeting nervously at the memory of what happened not even an hour ago Draco turned to his godfather “What is he doing here?” he asked.

            “Draco, Harry lives here. Sit there are some things you should know, Harry you should also sit” Severus said calmly as he sat in the chair by the fire forcing the two students to have to share the sofa.

            Harry nodded and sat down not looking at Draco or breathing, just the knowledge of Draco being near had Harry’s saliva pooling and his groin twitching.

            Looking nervously at Harry, Draco sat down as far from him as possible, never before had he felt fear when dealing with the boy who lived, but after having Harry biting into his neck and drinking his blood Draco was definitely afraid; but not of what he should be. By now Draco had rationalised that Harry must be a vampire, that in itself did not frighten the Slytherin badly, the fact that he had been aroused to the point of an erection by Potter drinking his blood was what terrified him.

            Severus looked between the two young mates and sighed at the thick tension between the two “Let us begin, Draco as you know I am a vampire and as I’m sure you have realised so is Harry. At the end of the school year he was turned and left alone to change by his maker” Severus said spitting out the last word as if it tasted bad “Being familiar with the ways of vampires I do not need to tell you how despicable an act that was, so I have in a sense adopted Harry as my fledgling, in all things other than blood I am his sire.” Severus said with smile at the fledgling on the couch. “Harry, as I am Draco’s godfather he has had to know about vampires from a very young age so he is very knowledgeable on the subject, he is also very accustomed to being around people who are…more than human shall we say. Part of the reason why Slytherin is usually, with a few exceptions, full of old pure blood families is because many of these families have creature blood. For example a few of our students are part veela, my point is most of this will seem more normal to Draco than it did to you at the start” Snape paused for a moment before he continued “Now Draco I know about what happened a little while ago, I am sorry, I should have went to find Harry the moment he did not come to the feast. Please know that he did not go looking for a meal as it were. He came across your scent and could not help himself.” He trailed off to let Draco’s intelligent mind put the pieces together trusting that the blonde knew enough about vampirism to come to the right conclusion.

            Harry watched his mates face as it went from confusion to disbelief, to shock and then to anger “You think I’m your effing mate?!” Draco hissed across the sofa.

            Harry nodded but seeing as the Slytherin was not looking at him he had to speak “Yes, and I am so sorry about earlier” Harry said using up his reserve of oxygen.

            “That’s bloody ridiculous how can I be your mate? I’m not a poof, so therefore I cannot be your mate” Draco growled in denial.

            “Draco enough, you know very well that a vampire’s sexual preference before the change or their mates preferences have nothing to do with this. This is one reason I called you here, I want to be certain of this, I will enter Harry’s mind and then he will start breathing again and I will be able to tell from his thoughts if you are his mate. Does this sound agreeable to you Harry?” Severus asked having noted that the boy had not taken a breath since he entered the room. Harry nodded still holding his breath. Severus turned and faced Harry looking him in the eyes “legilimens” and instantly he was in Harry’s mind seeing what Harry saw tainted with Harry’s feelings and thoughts. He could hear Harry struggling with himself not wanting to breath afraid of what would happen, Severus sent out soothing thoughts to the young man and instantly felt Harry relax and take a quick shallow breath, the first thing that hit him was the blood lust, Harry’s fangs lengthened and he could taste Draco’s blood on his tongue. Severus could feel Harry holding back his primal urges to go at Draco’s throat. Harry took another breath, this time Harry took the time to analyze the intoxicating scent of his mate, Harry moaned softly as he smelt the scents of lilac and cinnamon coming for the blonde boy. Severus dived deeper and felt what feelings Harry hadn’t opened himself to yet, wanting, admiration, hope, longing, attraction, and desire. Severus had seen enough and left the young man’s mind. Severus turned to Draco “Draco, Harry is correct, you are his mate” he stated simply.

            Draco’s pale face got even whiter with that news “I don’t want to be a vampire, or be Potters mate let alone lover” he said with determination.

            Harry felt his heart sink before muttering “Then you have condemned me to death”.

            Looking at the young vampire Draco was hit with the reality of what Harry had said “If I don’t agree to this and if he isn’t able to change me with in a year from June Potter will die…so will all hope of You Know Who’s downfall…” Draco thought his brow furrowing in concentration “I don’t care! I’m a Malfoy and I will not give in to the likes of Potter!” coming to his conclusion Draco looked Harry strait in the eyes “You remember our first night here, before the sorting? I offered you my hand in friendship and you turned it down in favour of befriending a Weasley. Biggest mistake of your life Potter” Draco hissed with a cruel sneer, seeing the horrified look on Potters face Draco stood up and turned towards the door feeling very proud of himself.

            “Sit down Draco!” Severus hissed appearing instantly in front of his godson, “I will not make you mate with Harry but there are still things I must tell you, now sit down!” only after the young Malfoy had sat back into his seat did Severus sit in his chair. “Now, firstly Draco I think you are being ridiculous, secondly you are no killer and by refusing, that is what you are becoming Potters executioner. Now you both need to be aware of the consequences of the events of this evening, when a vampire feeds on their mate it changes things, there are only two outcomes, the death of the mate from a vampire who was unable to stop, this is the most common. The other outcome is that of extreme sexual attraction, as a general feeding on ones mate is done as a type of foreplay or an act to heighten the pleasure of intercourse, as both of you are surely aware feeding on ones mate causes extreme arousal in both parties involved. As a result of what happened not an hour ago, Harry you will not only desire Draco’s blood above all others but his body as well. Draco your body will crave the feel of Harry’s teeth sinking into your flesh and other very intimate things.” Severus paused smirking at the shocked and appalled looks on the boy’s faces. “As a result the two of you will feel a pull to be in close contact with each other until the mating is complete and Draco is turned, this pull has been known to be painful if ignored for long periods of time. So regardless of what Draco decides it will be painful for the two of you to be apart for more than a few hours. Draco there is one last thing you should know, in every case where a mate has refused the new vampire, once the vampire dies the mate ends up in a catatonic state similar to a person who has had the Dementors kiss. Because of the deep bond between mates the humans body goes into shock and after a few weeks ceases to function properly, many humans have committed suicide in favour of becoming the shell of their former self they become. So Draco, think well before you decide to not mate with Harry, you may feel that becoming a vampire is a fate worse than death, not becoming a vampire is worse.” Severus finished somberly, standing up he looked at the two shocked students on his sofa “I need to feed, then I shall retire, Harry if you need to feed the squibs are through the door beside the linen cupboard. Good night boys” Snape said his silky voice getting a tender tone near the end.

            Harry watched as the man he considered a father walked to the door beside the linen cupboard and left the living room. “Ma..Dr..Draco I’m so sorry about earlier, I usually have much more control, it’s just you smell so good I didn’t stop to think.” Harry apologised awkwardly as he tried to reign in his desire to drink from the blonde again.

            “That’s not creepy at all Potter” Draco sneered with less venom than normal, sighing he ran his hand through his hair as he thought about his options “I don’t have many choices here do I? Now that I’ve been informed it feels like I have to let you turn me”

            Harry looked at the young man he always considered his enemy and realised he was more accepting of Harry being a vampire then his so called friends were, “Draco, it is either I die and you suffer a fate worse than death, or your human body dies and we both live forever. I would say this choice is a no brainer but it’s not my call, it’s yours, and you don’t have to decide tonight.” Harry said sincerely, looking Draco strait in the eyes as he talked.

            Draco looked at his mate confused, “Why are you being so nice Potter? Neither of us have ever been nice to the other, unless you count that day in Madam Malkin’s before first year.” He asked sceptically.

            Harry thought for a few moments before answering “I think part of it is because you’re my mate, why would I want to be anything but nice, we are supposed to spend an eternity together where would being mean get us? And other than Severus and Dumbledore you are the only person who hasn’t treated me different, McGonagall is different around me, and Ron and Hermione don’t want me anywhere near them ever again. So I guess it’s relieving to have someone not bat an eye at the news” Harry gushed uncontrollably.

            Malfoy nodded looking at the vampire across from him “I haven’t made up my mind about you turning me, but it wouldn’t hurt either of us to be civil and try to be friends. Because frankly if we can’t get on then there is no way I want to be with you for ever” Draco said smirking as he tried to lighten the mood.

            “Harry are you ready?” Severus called as he bustled around the living room grabbing his lesson plans “If we are late for breakfast we’ll be late for our first classes, and you have me for potions, I will take points” he said smirking at the look on Harry’s face as he opened his bedroom door.

            “ Very funny Sev” Harry said throwing the potions master a half-hearted glare “At least potions will be better this year, what with the help you’ve given me this summer and my heightened senses I’ll be golden” he said with a smile, his day looking up. Harry had woken up very tired this morning, Malfoy had stayed until past midnight. Their conversation had been awkward at first but by the time Draco had left the boys had formed a tentative friendship.

            “I don’t know Potter your still a Gryffindor how good at potions can you be?” Severus teased with a smirk as he watched Harry struggling to put on his left trainer while hopping on his right foot, “You can turn him into a vampire and he still is as graceless as a Troll” Severus mutters under his breath.

            “Watch where you’re going Draco!” Blaise Zabini blurted as he grabbed the back of his friends robes before he tried to walk through a tapestry that had a solid wall behind it. “That is the second time you’ve made a wrong turn this morning what is going on?” he demanded looking at Draco with a confused expression on his face.

            “I have a lot on my mind today, and I got almost no sleep last night” Draco snapped at his best friend “I’m going ahead to breakfast, see you there” he quickly said as he dashed through a short cut to the Great Hall “He’s not going to allow me to avoid him forever” Draco thought as he entered the Entrance Hall. “I will tell him, eventually…not yet”. Without thinking Draco looked over to the Gryffindor table looking for the messy black hair of his mate, after a moment he spotted Harry sitting all alone at the far end of the table. Looking closer Draco noticed that none of his normal heard of loyal followers were sitting within arm’s reach, and many of the Gryffindors were shooting him fearful and hateful looks. “Granger and Weasley have big mouths” Draco thought turning towards his own house table, “Oh bugger!” he mentally growled before turning around and walking over to the Gryffindor table and taking a seat across from Harry. Draco smirked as he heard collective gasps of the entire Great Hall “The vamp is out of the coffin I see”.
