chapter 1 :Prologue
The Hogwarts Library
"The hooded man will come to the forest to meet with Herne the hunter to be his son
and do his bidding."
Ron looked up after reading the sentence aloud "What are we reading this crap for?"
Hermione looked at he husband dissapprovingly "We are reading this to get an idea of who
we will be dealing with tonight."
Ever since Harry had died at the end of their 5th year the war had escalated way beyond what had
happened in the first war. Voldermort had expanded his operations throughout europe cutting England off from
the rest of the world. Hogwarts had become the centre of Government and Dumbledore had quickly been made
its leader. She and Ron were looked at as the poster couple of the light due mainly to their friendship with Harry
Potter. Now ten years after Harry's death there would be a treaty signing between the Order of the Phoenix and
The Army of Shadow. This so called army was led by Queen Larissa leader of the Vampire Nations and consisted of
Vampires,Goblins,Centaurs and a few Dark Wizards as well as the Queen's personal bodyguard always referred to
as the Hooded Man.
Ron sighed being the poster boy for the light wasn't as glamorous as he thought it would be when he was spying on
Harry for Dumbledore."I suppose you are right mione,but I don't like the idea of siding with Vamps."
Hermione nodded "Yes I am sure they will get on well with some of the people there."
Ron growled in disgust "Especially Malfoy and his slut!"
Hermione shrugged she knew Draco marrying Ginny was something her husband would never accept and to be honest part
of her was disgusted by it as well, but she hoped Ron would not get into a fight with Ginny tonight like he had every other time
the Brother and Sister had met in public.
The Malfoys Apartments
Pansy stared at her friend "You cannot make me."
Ginny's smile widened.
"Stop smiling this isn't funny."
Draco started to laugh "Cmon Pans you know she is going to win."
Ginny blew her husband a kiss while Pansy muttered "whipped"
Pansy grabbed the dress and stormed off slamming the Bathroom door behind her.
Draco wrapped his arms around Ginny "Well that went well."
Ginny nodded relaxing against Draco's body "I still don't get why you want her to come so badly"
"I have my reasons"
Ginny studied him suspiciously "You are not trying to fix her up again are you?"
Draco shook his head "After what she did to Blaise gods no. I just want her to get out for a night and live a little."
Ginny smiled "You are a nice guy you know that?"
"Yeah thats me Mr Nice Guy" snorted Draco.
Ginny laughed "I love you Draco but I need to get ready so get out."
Draco bowed "Yes m'lady at once m'lady anything you say m'lady."
Ginny turned her attention back to her dress as her husband closed the door behind him and thought about the
changes the last few years had brought. Alienated from most of her family married to one of the pureblood elite
and best friends with the girl once known as the prize bitch of Hogwarts. Smiling to herself she realised altho
this wasn't anything she had ever imagined wanting she was happier than she had ever been. The only bad thing
was that it had taken the death of her one time crush to make her understand the world did not work the way she had
always been taught and had more shadows in it than just light and dark. She did regret losing her friends especially Hermione,
but if they could not accept that this was who she was and not who the thought she should be it was their loss not hers.
Mainly she just hoped Ron would not start another fight with Draco tonight of all Nights.
An unknown Residence in Ireland
Queen Larissa smiled over at her Bodyguard "Is everything ready?"
He nodded and moved out of the shadows walking over to her bed and handing her a glass of warmed Blood Wine "It is
all prepared your Majesty."
Larissa slid a hand teasingly up the inside of his thigh "So formal my wolf?"
"You know my opinion and why I consider this a mistake."
Larissa regarded her bodyguard and sometime lover carefully. He was a creature of contradiction a Dark Wizard who had
abandoned his own magic to embrace older magicks of the land. When he had first presented himself at her court
she had dismissed him and sent him on what she thought would be a suicide mission to eliminate the ruling triad
of the Vampire nation. However he returned a month later with all three of the lords crests. This left her as the ruler
of the vampire tribes.
He was obviosly no longer human, the green flecks on his tanned skin confirmed he had given himself completely to
Herne and the land. She still didn't know what made her pursue him as it was usually the other way around with men and women.
She knew she was beautiful and that her lovers tended to end up as food or servants, It was refreshing to find someone she
could not bend to her will. If only he would dress more like a prince than a pauper. She had given him time and time
again the proper rainment a bodyguard should wear but he just laughed.
He dressed like a peasant from the Dark ages brown and green leathers with metal hoops sown into the jerkin.
(find a picture of Jason Connery in Robin of Sherwood for an image of the outfit) each hoop had a different rune.
He also carried a dagger and sword which she had seen him use very effectively in the past.
"Will you abandon my side then because of my decision?"
"No I would never do that and you know better than to ask."
Larissa smiled trailing a hand up his body "then come back to bed."
She almost purred as she felt him pinning her arms above her head as he lowered himself onto her. She knew he
did not belong to her yet, but one day he would and she could wait after all what was time to two immortals such as they.
If she had to wait 100 years for him to accept it she would.There were many lovers for her some even her bodyguard didn't
know about, but none were like him none that she wished to be posessed by and none that she would have rule beside her
except her Forest Lord.
On the Hogwarts Grounds
Firenze smiled as he looked up at the stars "Mars is bright tonight and the Lovers are drawing closer.
Sybil Trelawney nodded years working together had dulled her hatred of the Centaur and he had helped
her develop her Seer talent "For good or ill the Hooded Man is coming.
