Chapter 7: Repercussions

            “They saw you what?!” Severus growled, his eyes narrowing at the teenage vampire standing in front of him. When Severus had returned to their shared quarters after last period he was greeted with an anxious Harry who promptly relayed the happenings of that afternoon.

            “Severus I couldn’t help it! He offered it to me, how could I resist my mate’s blood freely given?!” Harry asked, his voice raised slightly.

            Severus sighed and ran a hand agitatedly through his dark hair. “You don’t have to resist it Harry; if Draco is willing to let you drink then by all means drink, but do it with some brains! Drinking from your mate in a dark hallway where you could be discovered is not wise! And now that you’ve been found out the entire wizarding world will know; any hope you had in secrecy is now lost!”

            Harry looked down at his feet, knowing that Severus was right about what he did. “I’m sorry, we will be more careful next time. And as for the whole wizarding world knowing, they probably already do…At lunch I heard people talking, many have already sent letters home, and someone sent one to Lucius Malfoy informing him that Draco is hanging out with a vampire. And then Ron sent a very deceiving letter to Remus, leaving out the bit about me being a vampire and just telling him that I have abandoned my house and am throwing my lot in with Slytherins. This was all before I fed on Draco this afternoon; so really that didn’t effect anything.” Harry finished looking up at the older man hopefully.

            Severus nodded thoughtfully, he had known about the letters but had been unsure if Harry had been aware of them. “All I ask Harry is that you are discrete; my secret is on the line too.”

            Harry stood up with a smile. “Don’t worry Sev, we’ll be more careful.” he assured the older man as he walked to the door.

            “Where are you going?” Severus asked slightly shocked by the quick change in his fledgling’s attitude.

            Harry already had went through the door before he turned around. “I’m supposed to meet the guys in the Great Hall to work on our write up about that potion today; then I’m sitting there for supper with them. See you later!” he called out closing the door.

            “You let him what?!” Blaise and Theodore hissed together at their blonde friend.

            “Draco that is dangerous!” Theo exclaimed, quickly followed by Blaise’s question.

“Have you decided to let him turn you?”

            The trio were sitting in the Great Hall waiting for Harry to come so they could work on their potions assignment; Draco had just been filling his friends in on the events of this afternoon. “No it isn’t dangerous Theo! Harry can stop feeding easily enough, and with me he doesn’t have the desire to feed too much. I think it has something to do with needing me to live. And Blaise I don’t know, I know it would be the decent thing to do, but I don’t know.” Draco told his friends as he trailed off in thought.

            Blaise frowned trying to hold in his emotions. “Draco, you have to let him turn you. I don’t care who he is, no young vampire deserves to die. Dying because they can’t find their mate is…bad enough…but to die because your mate refuses you! That to me is the equivalent of murder!” Blaise hissed the pain and sorrow showing in his eyes.

            Draco looked sadly at his friend and was about to respond when the Great Hall went silent. “Potter must be here.” Draco said with a smirk, ignoring the fluttery feeling in his stomach and the jolts of electricity to his groin at the thought of his mate. He turned his head towards the doors to see Harry walking towards the Slytherin table; moments later Harry was seated beside him.

            “Hey guys sorry I’m late…I was getting lectured about being discrete…” Harry said with a quick glance at a neutral faced Draco. Harry schooled his facial expression, not wanting his own embarrassment to show; unsure if Draco had told his friends about earlier that afternoon.

            Theo looked at both of his friends’ faces and burst out laughing. “Do you mean about snogging Draco or about feeding from him?”

            Harry rolled his eyes and let a grin spread across his face. “The feeding of course!” he said as he noticed the faint red colour to his mate’s fair skin. “Thank Merlin I can’t blush any more, I’d be beet red right now!” Harry thought in relief.

            For the next hour the three boys worked on their assignment hoping to get top marks again and by the time dinner was served they were all fairly pleased with their paper. Harry the most of all of them; after the feeding earlier he was able to enjoy the company of his new friends instead of restraining himself from attacking Draco.

            Having just apparated outside the gates of Hogwarts, Narcissa Malfoy quickly walked across the grounds towards the large castle in the distance. She was furious, having just received several owls from members of the Slytherin house addressed to Lucius (who was currently in Azkaban) informing her of her son’s new allegiances. What was her son thinking?! Buddying up with Harry Potter! What was his angle? Well Narcissa was determined to find out! Pushing the doors to the castle open she strode briskly through the Entrance Hall over to the doors to the Great Hall where she knew all the students would be at the moment. She was just about to push the doors open when someone behind her spoke.

            “I suppose you’re here for the same reason I am.” Remus Lupin said, walking until he was beside the witch who was once his friend. He had apparated to the gates moments after she had arrived and followed her to the castle. Remus had received a very disturbing letter from Ron about Harry hanging out with Slytherins and cursing Gryffindors.

            Narcissa looked at the werewolf and felt the same regret she had always felt when in his presence. She had once been in love with the brilliant young man, but upon confession of her feelings she found out that Remus’s fancy ran in a different direction. “I hope not Remus.” she said with a soft smile. “The reason I am here is because my son is putting our family in great peril. I would hope you were here on more pleasant business.”

            Remus was wracked with guilt, here he was about to go give Harry a piece of his mind for throwing his lot in with Slytherins, including the son of this witch. The only witch he had ever truly tried to love. He remembered the day in sixth year when Narcissa had come to him and confessed her feelings; oh how he wanted to feel the same, to not add being gay to the list of things abnormal about him. But no matter how hard he tried he could never feel the same, not about Narcissa, not about any witch. Sirius had heard that conversation between his cousin and Remus, and that night confessed that he too was gay. From that night on Remus and Sirius had been together. When Sirius had fallen into the veil in June Remus felt as though a part of him had died too, he spent his days pouring over old photos and laying in the bed he had shared with his lover. Remus shook his head slightly to clear his thoughts. “I’m afraid not, ‘Cissa.” he said sadly, falling into the old habit of using her nickname. “Harry is…consorting with Slytherins, some of which are children of Death Eaters, he too is in danger.” he said tensely, very aware of the fact that Lucius Malfoy, a known Death Eater was currently in Azkaban.

            “Then we are here on the same business, shall we?” Narcissa asked, giving her old friend a quick peck on the cheek before walking to the doors of the Great Hall and pushing them open.

            Draco was looking at Harry trying to gage his reaction to the fact that Draco was slowly running his left hand up the vampire’s thigh, when the doors to the Great Hall opened and in walked a familiar head of blonde hair. “Shit!” he gasped, pulling his hand off Harry’s thigh quickly.

            Harry followed Draco’s gaze, his eyes widening. “Shit!” he gasped unintentionally mimicking his mate, as he saw Remus walk in behind Draco’s mother.

            “What should we write on your graves?” Theo whispered from across the table as they watched Narcissa and Remus walk towards the head table. By now the entire Great Hall had gone quiet in hopes of hearing what these two visitors were going to say.

            “Shut up Theo!” both Harry and Draco hissed simultaneously, causing a stifled chuckle from both Blaise and Theodore.

            “Professor Dumbledore, I apologise for interrupting your evening meal, but I was hoping I could have a word with my son if at all possible.” Narcissa asked, her voice carrying throughout the whole hall.

            “And I would very much like to speak with Harry, Headmaster.” Remus chipped in before Dumbledore had a chance to speak.

            Professor Dumbledore looked down at the old friends standing before him with a twinkle in his eyes. “Of course, both of you. Draco, Harry your presence is required.” he said loudly, as if the entire student body had not been listening.

            Harry and Draco both stood up and saw the looks of anger cross both Narcissa and Remus’ faces. “I should have got you to turn me last night!” Draco whispered so only Harry could hear, as they started walking towards their doom. “I might have had a chance of surviving this as a vampire!”

            Harry couldn’t help himself, he laughed, a huge smile across his face. “Is that an offer to be my mate then?” he muttered lowly, still smiling, trying to keep the conversation light.

            Draco rolled his eyes. “I don’t know Potter, but I seriously doubt I will be able to let you die…even if you are a Gryffindor!” he said wrinkling his nose up at the last word.

            Harry just laughed again and was quickly joined by Draco’s quiet chuckle, within seconds they reached the pair waiting for them. “Hi Remus.” Harry said with a hopeful smile, only to be met with a cold glare worthy of Professor Snape.

            “Come with me.” Remus said neutrally as he turned and began to march out of the Great Hall.

            Harry shot one last smile at his mate before whispering so quiet that only Draco could hear. “Wish me luck, he won’t be mad once I explain…I hope.” And with that he followed his honorary godfather from the Great Hall.

            Draco followed his mother into an empty classroom, closing the door behind him. After a few minutes of silence, Draco decided to speak up. “Mother, I know why you’re here and I can explain.”

            “Please do, because frankly Draco, I am questioning your loyalty to the Malfoy name. Oh it is not the friendship with a Gryffindor that is the problem; it is the friendship with Harry Potter! Our family is in great disfavour with the Dark Lord and your actions are bringing even greater danger to our family!” Narcissa said in a calm cold voice but Draco knew she was terrified.

            Draco sighed as he walked towards his mother and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Mother, I am not friends with Harry to put us in danger…He was turned into a vampire this summer…I am his mate.” He revealed, knowing his mother understood the implications of this.

            “His mate…oh Draco…” Narcissa whispered, her hand covering her mouth as she fought back tears.

            Draco wrapped his other arm around her and held her in a tight hug. “It’s not the end of the world mother, Harry is actually not half bad. I haven’t decided if I’m going to let him turn me or not, but I don’t think I could let him die because I want to stay human.” Draco muttered, being honest with his mother.

            Narcissa let out a strangled sob as she buried her face in her only son’s robe. “Draco, I think you should let Potter turn you. You will be stronger than you are now, you will never die, and most importantly this way you can avoid taking the Mark!” Narcissa said hopefully. “The Dark Lord has been talking about you taking the Mark to atone for the mistakes of your father; I can only delay him so long. He has said that over Christmas he will give you the Mark.”

            Draco sighed, he had known that eventually the Dark Lord would want him to join his ranks. “Mother I see what you’re saying, and you know I do not want to be a Death Eater. But I will not make this decision based on fear. If I become a vampire I will spend the rest of eternity with Potter, I need to think about that. Please do not worry about me mother, I can take care of myself and you.” Draco assured his mother as he held her tighter.

            Remus stared at Harry, trying to figure out what was different. This did not look exactly like the boy he had seen in the Department of Mysteries at the beginning of June, and his sensitive nose was picking up a faint smell of blood from the boy. “Harry what is going on? There is something not the same about you.” Remus asked confused.

            Harry looked around the empty classroom that Remus had led him into. Draco and Narcissa were in the next room, Harry could hear them talking in low voices and could even make out the words that were being said, though he knew Remus could not. “Remus, I wanted to tell you sooner…I couldn’t though…After Sirius died you needed your time to grieve, I couldn’t add my problems onto yours.” Harry said sadly as he realized he hadn’t grieved for his godfather as much as he needed to; that day in Diagon Alley had thrown Harry’s life through a loop.

            “What are you talking about Harry? What problems? Is this something to do with Voldemort?” Remus asked concerned, ignoring the ache in his chest at the mention of the man he had loved.

            Harry sighed and sat down on the teacher’s desk. “You should sit down Remus.” He muttered, continuing once Remus had gotten comfortable. “A couple days before school ended in June, I was in Diagon Alley taking a short cut through a back alley and was attacked. By a vampire...And now I am a vampire too…and Draco Malfoy is my mate…Hope that answers all your questions.” Harry said quietly as he readied himself for Remus’s rejection.

            Remus sat there looking at the son of two of his best friends, trying to wrap his head around what he had just heard. He thought about all the things he went through when he was infected with lycanthropy, the denial, the anger, the loneliness, and mostly the fear of hurting others; and unlike Harry, Remus didn’t have to hurt others to survive. “Harry…I’m sorry, I’m sorry I was so wrapped up in my grief that you felt you couldn’t come to me with this. I’m sorry that you had go through this alone because of me.” he said, his eyes clouding up with tears of regret.

            Harry frowned when he realized that Remus felt guilty about not being there when he was getting use to the changes. “Remus you have nothing to be sorry for, I was the one who didn’t tell you…and I didn’t go through it alone…Sev…Professor Snape found me that day…he has helped me get accustomed to everything and to teach me how to be in control of the thirst.” Harry explained, trying to put Remus’s mind at ease.

            “How could Snape help you? And why would he?” Remus asked, confused.

            “Because Lupin, I am a vampire who never had the benefit of a sire who gave a damn and I did not want that for Harry.” Severus said from the door, with an annoyed look on his face.

            Harry sighed, he hadn’t even heard Severus open the door. He turned to the older vampire who had just closed the door and was walking towards the desk. “Thank you Severus, I didn’t know how to answer that question without giving away your secret.” Harry said with a small smile.

            Remus looked back and forth between the vampires before getting a furious expression on his face. “You bastard if you did this to him I will kill you!” he growled, standing up from the desk.

            Severus rolled his eyes and turned to look at the enraged werewolf. “I have never made another vampire and only planned to do so once. Now I believe it is time for Harry to return to our quarters, he hasn’t fed yet this evening, and it is almost curfew.”

            “What do you mean ‘our quarters’?” Remus asked sceptically.

            “For Merlin’s sake Remus! I’m living in the dungeons with Severus; he’s been helping me through the change all summer. We have squibs down there who get paid to let us feed on them. It is logical.” Harry said in an exasperated voice. “And Severus is right, it is getting late and I am getting thirsty. I know you came here because Ron sent you a misleading letter. Yes I am hanging out with Slytherins, for two reasons. One-Draco Malfoy is my mate; two- The Slytherins are the only ones who don’t hate me because I am different. You of all people should understand how difficult it is to be accepted when you have the possibility of killing someone by accident! Now I’m going home, you can voice your concerns to Severus. I hope you accept my choices some day and my new friends, good night Remus.” Harry muttered the last bit sadly, and walked out of the classroom, knowing he had overreacted; but it was too late to take it back now.
