CHAPTER
7: The night I was bitten
'The
shadow has finished its journey... It's time for the light and the
red to come up. These memories you saw never happened and never will,
as fate decided otherwise. The night you were bitten has changed your
future... and your family's. The curse is now lifted, little one. You
shall live longer.' A fluid and longing voice was softly singing
in my head.
My
eyes tried to open, fluttering, fighting, until they finally did. My
gaze instantly fell on a flat, wide and shiny surface just on top of
me. Something like a mirror stuck on the four posters bed's ceiling.
But it wasn't one. I was lying in a big bed. Someone was lying next
to me, I could sense it. But I couldn't move, it felt too difficult.
-'The
lady has awoken, my dear.'
-'Good,
good. I believe she was the right one as she didn't die... Soon, the
boy will wake.'
-'We
shall have to explain to them what happened and why, my lord, they
will not understand ...'
-'Of
course my graceful lady, we shall. The Nimlad last heiress deserves
an explanation and we can't possibly refuse her anything, now, can we
?'
-'No,
dear. I think the boy has awoken as well.' The first voice
finished, moving towards us.
I
pretended to sleep as two shadows in the dark-blue light came over
the bed I was lying in. I didn't know where I was, and had no idea
who these people were, but if they hadn't killed me yet, I didn't
want to give them a reason.
But
I felt a cold and soft hand on my shoulder and couldn't help but
shudder. I opened my eyes while willing them to remain closed, and
stared directly in other deep purple ones. Those of a lady. The lady
I had seen lying dead in this precise bed, in this vault just
before.. passing out.
I
started screaming at the top of my lungs, distressed. What the hell !
-'Don't
be afraid, my Lady. My name is Griefdaled of Nimlad. I was the last
of my lineage while the clan still existed and was put in a deep
sleep so one day I could accomplish the Prophecy. This day was today.
The Prophecy is now accomplished, thanks to you. We shall be forever
grateful, my Lady.' The same voice I had heard before told me. It
was this lady's voice. So cold, so frightening, so deep.
I
sat down in the bed, shaking my head so the spinning would stop. I
felt a hand touch my arm, turned and saw on my right Harry, sat as
well, looking sleepy and surprised, and wearing the strangest outfit.
A white shirt, black trousers and a long cloak, also black and shiny.
Otherwise, he looked the same.
-'Who
are you, and what are you talking about ?' I asked, trying to look
interested and not like a complete fool for once in my life.
Harry,
who apparently had been woken up by the man who had accompanied the
lady, looked at her, and asked:
-"What
is Nimlad, and what prophecy ?'
-'Nimlad
is a very, very old Vampire Clan that was founded by Rowena
Ravenclaw's young sister. She was also very attracted by knowledge
and created a new kind of men and women with special powers and
intelligence. This clan was very popular in the wizarding world until
one day the people's point of view about it changed, and almost every
vampire of the Nimlad Clan was murdered. However, Lady Rowena had a
vision when she touched her beloved sister for the last time, and it
happened to be a prophecy. My companion and I were put in a deep
sleep so that we could help accomplish the prophecy when time had
come.'
-Are
you telling me that vampires were created by Ravenclaw's little
sister and that they were good creatures ?! I can't believe it !'
Exclaimed Harry, standing up next to the bed.
-Who
was Rowena Ravenclaw again? I asked, as I had heard her name several
times before. I stood up.
-She
was one of Hogwarts four founders, Lena, I told you before. Ok, so
what is that bloody prophecy ?' He asked, troubled.
-'Young
man, show some respect to Lady Lena of Nimlad, if you please. She is
now the last of her whole lineage.' The Lady said in a serious
voice to a flabbergasted Harry. 'The Prophecy said that one day, a
thousand years after the total extinction of the Nimlad Clan, a young
woman would reactivate the lost lineage of the clan if she was bitten
in "a place that belonged to the Dumbledores". She
would have no magical power and would be accompanied by the chosen
one, a young man.'
-'Lena,
it fits! In the wizarding world, I am called the Chosen one, and you
have no magical power, and this is Dumbledore's vault ! Amazing,
Lena, little vampire!' Harry said, mocking me.
-'But
I don't wanna get bitten, what if it hurts ! Maybe I don't want to be
a vampire!'
-'My
Lady, you already are a vampire. We bit you in your sleep, as well as
your chosen one. Your are now bounded, and the first of the New
Nimlad clan ! My Lady, my Lord, we are honoured.' Said the man,
bowing along with the old woman.
-"
What ! You,.. you bit me ! You... you.. vampire!! You had no right,
you evil monster! You can't go around and bite people like that!"
I shrieked, panicked. I patted my neck and felt two tiny holes in my
skin. I turned white.
-"What
did I do ?! You didn't have to bite me as well ! I was just with
Lena, I have nothing to do with all this stuff, I already have a
Prophecy of my own, thanks !
-'Look
Harry at least you're not their queen or something you just have to
follow! I don't even know what I have to do !
-'Yeah,
is Lena the Queen of the clan or something ?'
-"Lady
Lena of Nimlad is the only and first vampire of the clan, so it makes
her a Founder, a Queen as you call them. We call them 'Lord' or
'Lady' between vampires. Your duty, my Lady, is to assure the
descent, the lineage of your Clan. This is why you were chosen along
with your companion, 'the chosen one'. AT THIS, LENA AND HARRY
STARTED BLUSHING As you are a vampire, therefore you are to obey
our laws, the Vampiric laws. Every vampire in the world must obey
them, and they are created by the founders of each vampire clan. They
are read and changed every 500 years, during a large meeting where
congregations of vampire clans come from all over the world.
You
will see that vampires have more freedom, but as a Lady you have more
to do. You are a ruler. You decide of the politic plans for your
clan, your allegiances, allies or enemies, the limits of your
territory... We can't advise you about these as we are not from the
same period of time, but we shall try to help you.'
There
was a long, intense silence. Everybody had stopped talking, and Harry
and I stayed silent. I just couldn't think of anything to say.
-'Riiiiiiight.
You heard that Harry? We need to conceive. Let's get moving !'I said in a stressed voice, showing Harry the exit of the vault.
Inside,
I was white. How these people dared to impose me to do anything !
Cool, I was a queen. But did I ask to ? What would my life become ? I
wanted to be a witch and help Harry to defeat Lord Thingy, I wanted
to take on my grand-dad, not become a bloody vampire and rule them !
-"Err,
Lena ? You heard them, they're going to stay with us. Ok. Err, I
don't know what to do. Any idea Lena ?"
-"Look,
we would need a bit of privacy to chat a bit, so we are going to go
outside the bank and have a cup of tea or something, in Diagon Alley.
Ok? I suppose we're quite safe with you, aren't we?"
-'Yes
my Lady. You needn't to worry about your safety. We don't know Diagon
Alley, it didn't exist in our time, but we do know Gringott's. Having
tea would be nice, but if I may, you won't need any other food than
blood in the future. It will do nothing to you, even though you can
drink or eat it. It's not toxic.'
-'Err,
yes, ok, Harry ?'
-'Yes.'
-'I'm
going to faint.' And with these words, everything started spinning
again, I closed my eyes willing that it was just a dream, but nothing
happened. I opened my eyes again, only to see Harry holding me.
-"No
you're not. Be brave Lena. Everything is going to be alright."
And with that, he kissed my cheek. I felt something wet touch me in
the same time, and, looking up, I realized that Harry was crying. One
only tear rolled down his cheek, his nose, and following the shape of
his lips, fell down his chin. Feeling sad, I took a better hold on
the floor and on his arms and put a hand on his right cheek.
-"Why
are you crying, Harry? Being a vampire is not so bad. It will help
you to kill Voldemort. It assures your victory, and your future."
-"Oh,
Lena, I'm sorry ! I'm so selfish! You don't understand. This is a way
for you to enter the wizarding world. Vampires live several thousands
years, and as my friends will get older and older, I will live for
so, so long that my heart won't even remember how it feels to hold
them against me ! They will die, and I will live only with my
memories to remember. Already I've lost my parents, Cedric, my
godfather, and .. Dumbledore.., and now I will loose all of them.' He
finished in a bare murmur.
All
I could do was to hold him, and pat him on the back, while whispering
comforting words as I could.
After
a long silence, he moved again and freed himself from my embrace.
-'Thanks,
Lena. I feel better now. Let's go up. He said, straightening.
We
opened the vault door and found about 20 goblins there, all of them
staring at us. They apparently had tried to open the door, surely
because we stayed a long time in there. We made to step towards them
down the 3 stairs, but were pushed aside by our two vampire friends.
-'My
Lady, you have to be introduced, you can't just step in like that.
Messieurs, please let me introduce you: Lady Lena of Nimlad, and her
companion Lord Harry of Nimlad.' said the old man-vampire, the ex
lord.
The
Goblins all bowed to us, knowing the meaning of these words better
than us surely.
-'Chlazbeck
has been very worried about you, my Lady, my Lord ! You have stayed
in the vault for so long, at least 2 days ! Chlazbeck and the other
goblins have been trying to open the door since then, but it was
locked from the inside.' The goblin who had taken us down earlier
said.
-'We
didn't lock it, though. We were... busy.'
-'I
am Griefdaled, and my companion is Sliver. We are members of the
Nimlad clan that was destroyed a thousand years ago. We have been
sleeping in the Dumbledore's family vault since then. We present you
the new founder of the new clan of Nimlad. We must now attend to our
business, if you please.' said Griefdaled, showing the wagon.
They
climbed on it and helped us to get on. The wagon moved and a few
moments after, we were back in the large stoned hall of Gringott's.
It
wasn't sunny but not so dark, about 7 pm, I thought. Harry and I were
still wearing our weird cloths, and I just noticed what exactly I was
wearing. It was a long dress in medieval fashion, with a very low
cleavage, and sleeves that went till the elbow. It was made of deep
purple velvet, but not exactly velvet, a bit tougher. But it wasn't
very large, so it could pass for eccentric dress robes. I held my
head up and took hold of Harry's hand, staring in his eyes. He looked
at me, and said in a platonic and serious voice:
-"Your
eyes are purple."
I
looked back towards the exit, trying to keep a straight face, and
said:
-"Right."
I
looked back again in his eyes for a second, and fixing the exit
again, I said:
-"Yours
as well."
I
could never have imagined the place that Harry was going to take in
my life. Nor how much our two companions would help us on our new
lives. They were to be the connection, the link, between the first
clan and the one I was about to create. They had been there to ensure
everything would be alright. And it had been very fortunate that they
had been there, because not everything had been all right. They had
discovered quickly the presence of a dark force in our world. They
had learnt who was Harry Potter, because he had not only been a boy,
he had been a symbol, he had been the hope of human kind, and so much
had been put on his shoulders...
When
I look back, I can see that making Harry a vampire was after all a
smart move, because in a way, it ensured his victory, if you take in
his first prophecy. Yes, there was a prophecy made about him, and the
so-called dark Lord. But this is not my story to tell. All you have
to know is that Harry had been the only one that could defeat Lord
Voldemort, because 'neither could live while the other survive'. Him,
or Voldemort. No, not Dumbledore, but Harry Potter, 17 years old, at
the time. And his life was about to take a very different direction.
