A/N: Well I’m back, finally, my husband was home from his tour in Afghanistan so we did a little bit of country hopping to see family and announce that we are expecting our first child, our daughter Claudia Marie. So now I am settled back home and able to write, so far this story has gotten an overall positive review. I am pleased about that, as for my spelling/writing it really comes down to my computer. It will change words on me that I am not aware of or not catch everything. I am working on this story by myself and generally writing well into the wee morning hours so any and all mistakes are my own. I will try to be more vigilant in the future and hope that you all continue to enjoy the story!

Thanks, DH: Moony

PS. There is a slight time jump here placing everything roughly to nowish era, so basically where the next generation of Potter/Weasley/Malfoy’s are in Hogwarts. So let me run this down like this, the War at Hogwarts was in 1998ish, starting from there we added 5 years for Severus’s coma putting us at 2003, now the time jump here is for Severus to get used to being a Strigoi so now we are jumping ahead about 6 years, putting the total time from beginning to now is 13 years placing the story roughly in 2016. Doing the math from there James II is 16 and Albus Severus is 15 so this will truly take place during their 5^th and 6^th years. Ok enough math enjoy!

::::::::Previously:::::::

Severus laughed as he followed her out of her rooms, for the first time in his life he felt free and he knew that he was starting a life that finally belonged only to him. His heart tugged as his thoughts drifted back to Harry, and he began to wonder if, that with this new life, he could finally have what he always dreamed about.

Chapter 6: Moving Forward

Years past and Severus found himself actually enjoying life for the first time in his entire life. He enjoyed teaching; even though it wasn't his first love Potions he still enjoyed teaching how to defend one's self. Even though most of the children he taught thought that with Voldimort gone they wouldn't have to learn defensive spells. It had been thirteen years since Analessia woke him up, and he had found a new kinship with the woman often finding himself walking the lake with her as the sun set and discussing what it meant to be a Strigoi, Severus became very good at hiding what he was, then again it wasn't a stretch from hiding being part of the Order from Voldimort, only he never had to worry because it wasn't a secret that drove a lance of fear through his mind at being found out. He talked with is fellow teachers, went to any and all functions that was involved in school, and he even had a side job for sending potions to St. Mungos when they needed emergency stock.

It was mid-August and the students were due back soon, Severus sat at the teacher table watching over a few sixth year students who had decided to stay at Hogwarts for extra classes for the next year, it was early morning and he sat next to Analessia talking with her about her curriculum for the upcoming year.

"Gah! I have been at this job for 11 years Sev; you would think I could just continue on without the Ministry of Magic telling me how I should run my class of Seers."

"Maybe Seers." Severus said smirking at her exasperated look. "What? You don't know if any of those children are actual Seers, it usually doesn't manifest until they are in their later years."

She slapped his arm lightly. "It's a good idea to nurture young minds, especially if those young minds turn out to be talented Seers and maybe even turn out a prophecy or two."

He rolled his eyes as a few owls flew in and one dropped a letter into his lap. He picked it up, "ah a letter from Draco. It's nice that he remembers to keep in touch now that he is Lord Malfoy." He opened the letter and smiled as a picture of Draco and his family smiled and waved at him from some tropical beach that Severus would never himself step foot on. He smiled as he scanned the letter and his smile grew bigger.

Analessia arched an eyebrow as she swallowed her mouthful of food, “what’s with the grin Sev?”

“It would seem that my dear grandson Scorpius has taken a shining to one of his school mates, though he refuses to say whom. Seems like only yesterday that he was sitting in front of us on that stool waiting for the hat to announce his school house.” Severus sighed fondly as his mind flitted back over the years that really were just a heartbeat for him, but actual years for everyone else around him. In that time the Malfoy family had gone through a blood adoption ritual to bring him into their family and he was given the rights as a Malfoy, but also held his title as Lord Prince from his mother’s family. He was now a pureblood by status with the blood adoption into the Malfoy family and his mother’s blood line and he took his duties seriously and enjoyed what it meant to be part of a family. Fingers snapped in his face bringing him back to the present and he blinked looking into the eyes of his Sire. “I’m sorry Ana, what were you saying?”

She rolled her eyes with a smile as she gazed at the moving photo, “nothing important, but I just have to say Sev,” her eyes welled up with blood tears as she looked up at him. “Please forgive me Sev.” She begged him softly.

"For what Ana?" He asked looking at her and noticing her eyes rimming with red. He grabbed a napkin and lifted it to her cheek. "Don't cry, you'll get blood everywhere." He murmured to her.

She lifted her hand to the napkin and sighed. "Severus, there is something I have been putting off telling you…have…have you told Draco?" She asked her voice low so that only his improved hearing could hear her.

"No, of course not, you told me that I couldn't tell anyone." He looked at her, his brow creasing in confusion.

"How are you explaining the fact that you aren't ageing?" She asked sharply trying to figure out how he was getting away with it, knowing that the years are adding up but he is forever staying the same.

Severus laughed as he leaned back in his chair. "That what has you all teary eyed and worried? Analessia, please give me some credit. I am the youngest Potion Master of my generation. I simply tell everyone I have finally put a stopper in death and it is my most closely guarded secret. Not quite the truth but not exactly a lie either."

She gapped at him before howling with her own laughter. "Oh Sev you are amazing, how can you get away with that."

"Because people are still terrified of me and as long as I don't slip up I can stay young and immortal for the rest of my life." He grinned at her and laughed again at the look on her face as she gazed at him with both wonder and amusement. "The only person who knows is Minerva, but that's because of your blunder, and Minerva can keep a secret almost as tight lipped as me. You don't have to worry, remember this is the Wizarding world, finding ways to live forever is not entirely uncommon. Not to mention a Wizard ages differently than a Muggle. I promise you people won’t even take a second glance at me if I even said my real age."

She smiled as she dabbed at her eyes. "You would think nearly 15 years of living here I would have realized that by now. But still, I can't help but have this sinking feeling that something bad is going to happen."

He shrugged as the doors opening revealing Harry in his riding practice gear with a few Gryffindors fallowing him and laughing as he regaled stories of his own time on the Quidditch pitch. Severus felt his eyes drawn to the very handsome man; time had done him a kindness and left him mostly untouched with only laugh lines in the corners of his eyes. The practice gear clung to muscles that had developed over the years giving Harry a mouthwatering physic that made Severus want to drag him into the nearest empty space and explore the tantalizing flesh beneath the robes. Bright green eyes met his with his and Severus quickly stood up. "I….um…need to go check on a potion." He murmured when Analessia looked up at him and he fled from the room quickly and hid out in his potions lab the rest of the day.

Hours passed and Severus finally sat down for a break on a stool near the bubbling cauldron. He checked the temperature of the fire and the color of the potion and nodded as he stretched his legs out and raised his arms above his head, his back popping. He groaned lightly and took his hair out of the pony tail he had put it in to keep it out of his face while brewing. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed as his stomach cramped from hunger. He looked at the charmed clock on the wall and noticed that it had been nearly six hours since his last blood bag and he sighed. "Damn this need for blood, so inconvenient when I want to work on potions." He grumbled as he got up and went to the cool storage he kept hidden in his lab for when he worked on potions. He felt the tell tail shifting of his upper jaw as his teeth grew at the sight of the thick red liquid. He popped the bag onto his teeth grabbing a second before re-hiding the cooler and sat back down leaning back against the table as his teeth soaked up the blood.

Harry found himself walking around the castle knowing that he was just trying to find an excuse to go and talk to Severus. He had had a few conversations with the man since he woke up thirteen years ago, and each left Harry wishing he could hold the man down for longer than a simple "hello how are you?" or some such shit as that. Harry sighed heavily as he thought back on everything. He thought back on how badly his relationship with Ginny fell through, all because of the slippery Potion’s Master. Harry had not been able to get the man out of his head or his heart, and after an exceptionally embarrassing night in bed with Ginny he knew then he couldn’t keep up with the lie he was living. Ginny had thrown him out and he had struggled with her to keep a place in his children’s lives. He had done nothing but fight and struggle with the vengeful woman, who even tried to turn his sons against him. James was a good boy, but as he got older his son began to hate the tension and closed himself off from Harry. Albus hung to his father, even though the child was sorted into Slytherin, an instant silent treatment from his mother, but Harry loved the soft hearted boy more than anything and encouraged him to do his best and made sure the boy knew that no matter what Harry loved him.

Through his musing Harry found himself at the door leading to Severus’s lab and he stopped taking a deep breath. Now or never Harry, go in there and tell him how you feel you are a Lion not a mouse. He mentally reprimanded himself before shoving the door open. "Severus is you in here? I was wondering if…you…bloody hell." He gaped at the man.

Severus whipped around, a half empty blood bag on his teeth and his jaw dropped causing the bag to drop and burst open on the floor coating his lower legs and feet with blood. "Fuck, Potter what are you doing here?"

"Is that….was that blood? What the hell are you doing with blood…and fangs? Bloody fucking hell Severus are you a vampire?" Harry blabbered, his mind racing to catch up with the rest of him.

Severus growled as he launched forward knocking the man against the wall and shoving the door closed as he tried to slip into Harrys mind. He found himself blocked and he growled again knowing that no matter what Harry was never strong enough to keep him out, even before he turned. His jaw dropped as he stepped back from Harry, his fangs on full display. "I can't do it…why can't I get in; you are so easy to get into. You're walls aren't that strong." He began to pace as his mind raced trying to figure out what to tell Harry.

Harry opened his mouth to say something when his eyes rolled and he collapsed into the arms of Analessia who stood behind him. "What is going on? I could hear you all the way in my room; you're usually so careful about your thoughts Severus what happened?"

"Potter found out!" He hissed. "I couldn't get into his mind to clear it and send him on his way." He looked at Analessia, fear clear in his eyes. "Please I'm sorry Analessia, I tried, Potter…he must have been training with his Occlumency…I'm sorry."

Analessia laid Harry down gently as she walked to the taller man and embraced him, drawing his head down to rest on her shoulder and she combed her fingers through his hair. "Shh nyamo." She whispered. "It's alright, I feared this day would come but I had hoped that we could discuss it. Let's take Harry down to your rooms and get him someplace comfortable while we talk, he will be out for a while and you will want him close by when I tell you what I should have told you from the beginning."

Severus pulled back and looked at her. "You kept things from me?"

"No…well….yes, just this though. I wasn't sure you were ready; I was waiting for the right time to tell you. I wanted you to enjoy your life and be free. I didn't want you to become obsessed." She said as she gathered Harry in her arms cradling him, even though he had to have outweighed her by a good 60 pounds. It still shocked him whenever she displayed her Strigoi strength but he said nothing as she led the way to his rooms. Once in the common rooms of his home at Hogwarts, she laid the young man down on the couch and waved her hand for a fire to light and warm the room and tea to start making itself. She sat down in one of the overstuffed armchairs near the fire and curled herself up. "Severus, forever is a long time to spend alone, you know our Laws, have taken your vows to uphold our laws and keep our people safe. Hell even Grandfather likes you, and that's saying something." She reached out to him and took his hand in both of hers. "You gave me my family back Severus, because of you my Grandfather forgave me, and I can return to the Clan whenever I am not teaching, when I go home for the holidays to spend them with my family I can do that because of you. I owe you so much, but I refused to watch you become obsessive."

Severus knelt down in front of her chair. "What are you talking about? Obsessive over what? Ana please speak plainly; I don't want to bring your family into danger. Or hell even put Draco into danger."

She sighed. "You know that we can slip into any mortals mind, as much as we want, some are harder than others. But there is always one mortal who seems to be near impossible to slip into, and when that mortal comes around we know them as Life-mates. Sometimes a Strigoi will become so obsessed with finding this life-mate, someone they can't live without, or live normally without. We can't read a life-mates mind unless invited in; even then it's never knowing exactly what is happening its always feelings, images and glimpses either in great passion or great distress. What is our law for turning people?"

"One turning of a mortal per Strigoi…so that one person we turn…it's usually our life-mate?"

Analessia nodded. "Yes, I feared that Harry might be your life-mate so I kept it from you as long as I could, I wanted you to be comfortable in your life before finding out, but I also feared on the other hand that you would miss your chance with Harry and be without your life-mate forever. Some of us are never lucky enough to find the first life-mate, and even more unlucky with finding the second one centuries later."

"Did you ever find a life-mate?"

Analessia smiled softly and nodded. "I did, I was on a trip to America by myself, my first alone trip. I was 112 at the time, it was 1829 and I found myself in Boston Massachusetts, my English was deplorable and found myself in a tavern reading a beautiful poem, it's now called "A dream within a dream" but it was so beautiful, so haunting that I had to find the author of it. And behold my luck he walked right into the tavern, celebrating his latest addition to the newspaper."

"Are you telling me that Edgar Allen Poe, the Edgar Allen Poe, the top poet in the America's whose work has even been made famous here was your life-mate? What happened?"

She shrugged. "We had a tryst, I loved him, but I knew that he was meant for something else. If I had turned him his poems would have never become famous and he would have never opened the doors that people are too scared to open themselves. So I left, I went back to Romania, it broke my heart, it still hurts to think about him, but then I remember that he wrote one of his poems for me, of course it wasn't until later…I had thought he had forgotten about me, but somehow he found me. I was back in the states in Maryland but this time with Grandfather and Mother and somehow Edgar found out, and he hunted me down. He was married now, to his cousin. He told me he couldn't stop thinking of me, but he understood. I think he was a Seer…kinda…at least a sleeping Seer. We had dinner and talked, he told me about all these dreams and he handed me a copy of Fall of the House of Usher, inside was a poem…one he wrote just for me. I cherished that poem and that book; I still have them in my room in a special locked case. I was his Haunted Place, and Edgar will be forever mine. I cherish the year I spent with him and I will always remember everything about him. His mind was open to me in the midst of passion, like a true life-mate and I even ate with him at meals. I can remember his blood on my tongue and I knew that he was my everything, but I let him go." She sighed and looked over to Harry. "But enough about me, we have to take care of him. I don't think that turning Harry will be a problem, it's just the fact that you have to come clean to him, and completely…I can still wipe his memories should he decide to not accept the fact…but this is fated Severus. You and Harry are meant to be together." She squeezed his hands. "Don't make my mistake Severus, Harry is your life-mate." She let his hands go, stood up, and walked to the door looking at him over her shoulder. "Remember Severus, forever is a long time to be alone." She said with a sad smile as she left the room.

Severus watched her go silently before turning back to Harry and picking up the book that sat on the coffee table and began to read while he waited for Harry to wake up.

Analessia walked quickly to her classroom and into her own privet rooms. She walked to the case that held her original copy of Fall of the House of Usher and lifted it carefully out of the case. She ran her hand over the leather cover and opened the book carefully and looked at the writing on the first page, meant just for her eyes. Her vision blurred as she looked at the familiar words on the tear stained page. She ran her fingers over the elegant script.

To my muse, Analessia,

I will never forget the year you gave me. The memory of you will forever inspire me as will the passion and the darkness you shared with me. While I can't have you forever as we had hoped, I give you the last piece of me that you will ever have. This story and this poem are for you. They will be given to the world, but know that forever they will be for you. I love you Analessia, now and forever, but don't let my love stop you from finding another piece of happiness.

Forever your love, Edgar

Analessia clutched the book to her chest as she sobbed, praying and begging whoever would listen to let Harry and Severus be together in the way she could never be with Edgar. "Please, please never let them be apart. Let Harry accept Severus and us for what we are and let him accept the chance to be one, and let them have everything I could never have." She sobbed holding the book close and prayed until she fell asleep holding the book close.

Severus sighed as he looked up from his book to Harry, for what seemed like the hundredth time since Analessia left. He growled in frustration as he snapped the book shut and began to pace the floor, his back itching as his wings wanted to come out. Severus sighed as he removed his robes and shirt to take pressure off his back and rubbed his shoulders trying to ease the ache. Over the course of the years he had learned much about Strigoi, he had learned the need for blood and what happens when going to long without. At a single glance no one would be able to tell he was anything but human, so blending in was easy, for that he was grateful that his new life was nothing like being a true Vampire. He had learned the laws and rules of being a Strigoi and had even begun working on potions to help the few who had trouble feeding off of stored blood. He even took on a project at Analessia's begging for him to create a blood substitute that tasted like chocolate "just for shits and giggles" she had told him. He laughed softly at his Maker and shook his head. Severus sighed as he rubbed his shoulders flexing his wings and he thought back to when he chose to repay Analessia back by making her family take her back as part of the Clan. The battle for his Sire was long and grueling and he had honestly thought that he was going to die because of it. His fingers stroked the Strigoi medallion around his neck, a gift from Elder Andrzej given to everyone who was from his blood line, showing his status as one of the oldest bloodlines of Strigoi. He smiled fondly knowing he finally had a place in the world.

He heard Harry stirring and turned to see the man slowly getting up and shaking his head. "It's nice to see you are finally awake Mr. Potter."

Harry looked around groggily, his mind catching up to the fact that he wasn't in Severus's labs anymore, and that said Severus was standing in only black trousers. "Um…not that I don't appreciate the small show of your sexy self on display but mind telling me what the fuck happened so my brain can catch up?"

Severus blushed slightly at the half assed compliment and he folded his arms across his chest. "Language Potter, now I believe we have a few things we have to discuss. Would you like some tea?" He asked pulling his shirt off the back of the chair where he left it and slipped it on, but didn't bother to button it up.

Harry shrugged his outer robes off and nodded, taking the offered tea. "I've told you to call me Harry, Severus since we are co-workers now and not professor and student."

Severus shrugged as he sat in the chair across from Harry. "Old habits, but I will try to remember that Mr. Pot...Harry." He watched carefully as the green eyes he loved so much lit up with triumph at the small victory. "Now then, on to what we must talk about." He said, and slowly began to explain everything to Harry, starting with the facts about Strigoi, and deciding to take Analessia's advice and give Harry the whole truth.

A few hours later Harry sat back in his seat stunned as he looked at the older man. Severus watched him carefully as he noticed that even with the dumbstruck look on his face Severus had come to know was actually how Harry processed vast amounts of information. The man wasn't as stupid as he put on, but had a hidden brilliance that was usually stuffed under his heroic bravado. He watched as the green eyes gazed at him curiously and a small smile spread across those full lips.

"So you are immortal now, you have to drink blood, but you can still do everything you used to? Doesn't sound like a bad gig to me."

Severus chuckled. "No, it really isn't when you think about it. Being a Strigoi is probably one of the bet things to ever happen to me. Well that and you ending the war, I have Analessia to thank as much as I have you to thank for this incredible new life."

"Me?" Harry asked confused. "Why me?"

"Because Harry, you risked so much, even got yourself killed from what I'm told, and saved us all. You gave a lot of us a new chance at life, Draco and myself included. Because of you a lot of us have families now, families we would never have if it wasn't for what you and your friends did. I'm not going to sing your praises often, this actually might be the only time I do, but you gave us a lot, yet took nothing for yourself. It's incredibly selfless of you."

Harry shrugged and blushed slightly. "I didn't want anything, actually…part of me wished I had died that night. When I saw that you had died because of Nagini I felt like my heart was gone, there was nothing left. I went into that fight with Voldimort because part of me hoped that I could take him down and also end the void that was left with you dying." Harry ran his fingers through his hair. "But then I survived, I was the Savior, the Golden Boy forever, and I hated it. I ended up losing everything and running here, most of the Weasley’s don’t even talk to me anymore, only George, but that’s because we both understand loss and I helped give him that shop. Hell I think the only one who understands is Draco…we became close when you were gone."

Severus nodded slowly. "Yes, Draco mentioned that I was shocked at first, but it didn't surprise me. Draco was always a loving boy, eager to be friend with anyone who he thought would make a good friend, but because of his father, he had to be cold. Seeing him now, I'm shocked that having just his mother and his wife, with his father gone that he is so well adjusted. I really have to thank you Harry, for getting him exonerated at his trial."

"Stop thanking me Severus, you might give me a complex." Harry laughed, blushing furiously at the attention that the man gave him.

Severus laughed and shook his head as he refilled the tea cups. "I believe it is too late for that Harry, you do have quite the god complex sometimes."

Harry gaped at him before laughing and wiping his eyes. "Yeah probably, anyway, so now that I've seen you drinking blood do you have to make me forget?"

Severus chewed his bottom lip lightly and sighed. "I can't."

"Huh?"

"I can't get into your mind to make you forget. According to Analessia, she thinks you are my life-mate."

Harry choked on his tea and hit his chest trying to clear his airways. "You're what?" he gasped.

"My life-mate Harry, someone who I could spend my immortality with and be truly happy with. I can't read or control your mind; just as should you chose to be Strigoi you couldn't read or control mine." He said coolly, even though his own heart was racing in his chest, and he prayed that Harry didn't refuse.

"An eternity with you? That doesn't sound too bad." He said softly, looking at Severus from under his bangs. "I've loved you for a long time Severus; I meant it when I said it in the hospital wing the day you woke up. If you are offering for me to be with you forever than I will jump at the chance to do it."

"Harry, don't jump at the chance. You still have children to consider, there are laws for Strigoi. We can only turn one mortal our entire life, however long that is. If I turn you that is it for me, and you are mine forever. But you still have a family to think about."

"So you turn me into a Strigoi and I can go from there to figure out about the boys."

"But what about their mother Harry? Would you really expect the boys to abandon their mother?"

Harry sighed and ran his hands through his hair, "actually Severus there's a slight problem with that. When I said the Weasley's haven't forgiven me I was entirely truthful…over the years they have gotten very nasty…even now Ginny has been very nasty to me…when I get the boys on my weekends with them, they are always telling me about horrible things that mum says about me. It's not a good environment for them, but I have never been able to get custody of them…Ginny refuses to go to court saying that nothing is wrong and with Arthur being in the Ministry it makes everything more complicated. Hell I suppose I'm lucky I get my every other weekend with them, that's partly why I'm so happy that they both are coming to school here, that way I can see my sons more than a hand full of days during the month. I have them in classes and can keep them safe."

Severus's brow knitted in confusion, "is Miss Weasley abusive to the boys?"

"No, I don't think any of them are…but I do get scared that it might come down to that. The whole family blames me for the death of Fred and for Bill being bitten by Greyback. Ron even said he would have never suffered under the Horcrux in the forest when we went hunting for them." He put his head in his hands.

Severus stood up and walked over to the couch and pulled Harry to him stroking his back and hair. "Harry, I don't know what to even say, but none of that was your fault. Fred died fighting to save this school and everyone in it, and Bill was not the only one bitten by Greyback that night. They do not have the right to blame you, nor do they have the right to keep you from your children. I will speak with Kingsley Shacklebot and we will find a way to get you your sons if that is your desire."

Harry looked up into Severus's beautiful eyes. "You would do that for me?"

"If what Analessia says is true, and I have no reason to doubt her, then you are my life-mate. I would do anything to make you happy." Severus cupped Harry's face in his hands and ran his thumbs over his cheeks. "If giving you your sons makes you happy then I will do just that, I want you happy Harry, I want you to have a happy life. I have hidden my own feelings from you for many years, but it seems I can't do that anymore. I have had years to get used to what I am, and now I offer you everything. I love you Harry, and I offer you my love, and my companionship for the rest of our lives."

"Severus?"

"Yes Harry?"

"Will you shut up and kiss me already?" He grinned cheekily up at his former professor.

Severus laughed as he leaned down and captured the younger man's mouth with his own. He groaned against his lips and pulled Harry close, his wings slipping free and wrapping around them. Harry pulled back with a gasp as soft feathers brushed against him and he looked to see onyx black wings around him. "Wings?"

Severus shrugged. "Another part of being Strigoi. We have wings."

Harry reached out and ran his fingers lightly along the wings causing Severus to shudder in pleasure. "They are beautiful, are all Strigoi wings black?"

"No, well maybe some I have no idea. Analessia says that the color of our wings are represented by our magical core. Analessia's wings are silver, but have a hue of many different colors depending on lighting and her mood that day."

"I wonder what color mine will be." Harry mused softly as he moved his hands to Severus's chest and ran his fingers over the medallion around his neck. "This is an interesting necklace."

"Another gift for Strigoi, it was given to me by Elder Andrzej, you will get one too once you complete your turning. It's a symbol of the Order of the Dragon, one that is given to every new Strigoi from Andrzej’s blood line, to show where our blood is from."

Harry curled up and cuddled close to Severus, his fingers toying with the medallion lightly as he enjoyed finally being close to the man he had wanted for years. "I can't believe that I'm finally with you. I dreamed about this for so many years, it feels kind of odd that it's actually a reality now."

Severus chuckled as he held the younger man close. "Yes, life does seem full of surprises, but I am looking forward to finding more with you."

Harry chewed his lip lightly and glanced up at Severus, "um...Severus, there is something I should probably tell you. I don't know what I am, I came into a sort of inheritance when I was 16 that changed something in me…Dumbledore could never figure it out and we kept it a secret. But it seems that I can carry children like a female. Dumbledore was really confused, but died before we could fully figure it out."

"Do you want to know? Just in case it reacts badly to the Strigoi blood."

"It won't be a problem Severus, trust me." Analessia said as she swept into the room. "I can tell you right off the bat what Harry is, oh don't look so shocked I smelled it in your blood when I was tending to your wounds after that nasty bludger hit during Quidditch a few years back. Your blood smelled sickly sweet and it made me remember another creature whose blood smelled like that. You my dear are a submissive Incubi…or at least part of one. Who knows probably came from somewhere on your father's side seeing as your mother was muggleborn instead of pure blood like your father." She said with a shrug as she sat down.

Harry and Severus gaped at the woman before Severus howled with laughter. "You can't be serious; there hasn't been a case of Incubi or Succubi or even offspring of them in years."

She rolled her eyes. "So you can believe in Veela children and vampires but not someone being part Incubi? And how could Harry have registered if his family was killed a year after he was born? Think about it boys, the way people gravitate to Harry, all that extra magic? I mean it's not rocket science. I suspect he came into his inheritance and then people started becoming obsessed with him right? Even Voldimort started to change; he became desperate to find Harry."

Her words hung in the air as Severus and Harry looked at each other as the realization dawned on them. Severus groaned as he fell back into the couch smacking his forehead. "Of course! Gods above why was I so stupid not to realize it?"

"Wait wait wait, back up a minute, does this mean that anything Severus feels for me is just because I'm a sex demon?"

Analessia chuckled as she shook her head. "No no of course not, love and lust are two totally different things. Lust can drive people insane with need to own and to possess, hence Voldimort. Severus loves you Harry, he isn't driven to possess you, and he is driven to love you and to be your life-mate. Never doubt that. Now have you two made a decision?" She asked.

Severus shook his head. "You are nearly as mad as Dumbledore used to be, I swear it. But yes we have, Harry has agreed to be my life-mate. I have explained everything to him, and he has agreed to undertake the Turning."

Analessia clapped her hands happily. "That is wonderful news! Just wonderful! See I told you there was nothing to worry about, now we should probably do this now, just so that most of the turning is complete before the children come back to school and Harry has some use of himself again. And the sooner a life-mate is turned the happier the couple will be." She wagged her eyebrows at them.

Both men blushed furiously; Harry was the first to speak. "Wait, before we do this, how do we know that the Strigoi blood won't react badly to the Incubi blood?"

"Simple, your Incubi has been searching for a mate, it sees that Severus is your mate, but also is of a different species, so your Incubi will take whatever it can to adapt and change. Taking Severus's blood will strengthen you, as well as him taking your blood with strengthen him. However you two bond is entirely up to you, being of two different species it could turn into quite the game. I'll see if grandfather has some books on Incubi…maybe there was a Strigoi who mated to one a while back…Grandfather would know. Now let's go, we are burning daylight here." She ushered them quickly out of the room making a mental note to fire call her grandfather later.
