Prologue:
'You and I. Heh, it's a funny subject after all these years. But there was a time when it was, "you and I." Do you even remember when you used to sneak me in through your window? How we'd hold each other? You were kind to me then. You didn't care about what I was and I didn't care about what I knew you would become. Sadly, I kind of hoped, what you became, would have changed, because of me.'
Chapter 1:
"Harry! Harry wake up or you're gonna be late for class!" Ron shouted as he shook the sleeping 6th year and best friend over and over again. "Oh bloody hell Harry! Come on! Wake up!" The sleeping boy finally began to stir and opened his unfocused eyes at the red head that was sitting on his bedside shaking him to wake.
"I'm awake Ron! I'm awake! I was just having…" the boy trailed off.
"Having what?"
"A very interesting dream. There were two people in it. Just talking to each other. I could tell one was truly evil and the other a form of evil but didn't really want to be. They were just…speaking. Like nothing was wrong. Just…talking."
"Right. C'mon Harry or we'll be late!"
The boys made their way through the large castle occasionally pausing when a staircase moved and they had to reroute their way to breakfast. "Man, if I don't get any breakfast I'm going to be one grouchy boy all day," Ron sighed as they continued down the staircases. They finally approached the Great Hall to be greeted by shouting students eating and having a good morning talk. "Mm, they made pancakes!" Ron ran ahead of Harry to the empty bench at the end of the table. Harry sighed and smiled at his friend when he looked up to notice Dumbledore was not in his seat and nor was Snape. Harry stood for a moment bewildered at why both of them would be missing at the same time.
"Harry? Are you not hungry?" a female voice asked. Harry looked down at the table to see Hermione and Ron both eating deliciously enticing pancakes. Harry's mouth salivated but his mind went back to the missing professors immediately. "Harry?"
"Oh yeah! Sorry just…did you notice that Snape and Dumbledore are missing?"
"Yes I noticed that awhile ago. No one seems to know why. Come and eat now!" Hermione pulled on Harry's robes and the boy plopped down next to his friends and helped himself to a large serving of pancakes. The room became very quiet when Dumbledore walked slowly through the middle isle from the Great Hall's large doors. Everyone eyed him warily as he smiled at each student.
"Snape's still missing," Harry said a little nervously. Ron and Hermione both stood up a bit to watch as Dumbledore made his way to his podium with the owl's wings spread in flight. Harry looked back at the open Great Hall doors in hopes that he would see Snape walking in also but there was no such luck. Harry turned back to see Dumbledore waiting patiently for everyone's attention.
"Good morning students! I hope you all had wonderful dreams last night, and got all your homework finished!" A smile spread across his lips at his small joke. "I have news for all students today. Snape will have a kind of "teacher's assistant." On occasions this assistant will teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts, but mostly Snape will still be teaching the lessons. I do warn you though, if you are to cut yourself in that class, immediately go to the infirmary and have another student tell Snape where you went off to. I hope you enjoy your exciting new day ahead and may you learn many, many new things." Dumbledore walked to the left and exited the Great Hall as quickly as he came. A buzz of excitement stirred in the air as everyone wondered what was going on in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.
"Harry what do you think that was all about?" Hermione asked excitedly. Harry shrugged still looking at the podium. He had no idea about what was going on.
Everyone chattered in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class as they waited for Professor Snape and his new assistant to come in. Harry still remained quiet. He was wary about the last statement Dumbledore had said, about the bleeding part. Snape slammed open the door and walked through the middle isle quickly and approached the front of the classroom. He looked at each student with his hateful eyes striking some kind of fear in each student. "Class, we have a guest today and he will be staying with us for the remainder of the year. As Professor Dumbledore said, if you bleed in this class, tell another student and immediately go to the infirmary. Aurian if you would like to come out of hiding now?" Snape's cold voice said. A boy with blue hair and red eyes came into view sitting on the banister going up to the Dark Arts teacher's office. Everyone gasped in surprise. He had feministic features and a lean build; all of the girls thought he was extremely good looking. His red eyes locked on Harry for a moment before averting them to Snape.
"Hello children." His voice was sweet but had a hint of extreme danger lurking behind it. Harry shook from the spine up when he heard the seductive voice. 'He's no human,' Harry thought to himself. Aurian's eyes darted back to Harry once again and smiled. Harry's eyes widened. 'Can you hear me?' Aurian smiled a crooked yet beautiful smile at Harry.
"Potter stop drooling and open your text book to page three hundred and ninety." Harry immediately looked away from Aurian and flipped to the page. Vampires.
"You're a vampire then?" Hermione asked as her eyes met with Aurian's fiercely red ones. Aurian didn't answer, but only smiled. Some students let out gasps or backed away from Aurian.
"Students would you please remain calm. You'll only make your hearts beat faster and have your blood pulse quicker. This will only make him hunger for you more. Aurian is a rather tame vampire and does not feed often from living humans."
"You mean he feeds from dead ones?" Draco asked. Snape's mouth twitched into an extremely small smile for a fraction of a second at the question.
"Yes actually. He feeds off the undead, vampires like himself and the Inferi. But that doesn't mean that's all he feeds from. On occasions he still has living blood from humans." Ron gulped loudly and Aurian's eyes darted to him.
"What?! What? Why are you looking at me like that?!" Ron panicked. Aurian smiled his crooked smile once again and allowed his eyes to wander back to Harry. Harry just stared right back at him.
"Harry Potter is it? I've heard quite a few stories about you, from various persons."
"Have you?" Harry's tone dripped of acid. "What sort of people. Lot's of those stories about me are wrong." Snape didn't interrupt. He sat down at his desk and flipped open a book to read.
"Oh…all sorts of people." Aurian smiled devilishly before disappearing.
"Potter, I'd advice you not to make an enemy of Aurian. He's stronger than anyone in this school," Snape said not looking up from his book.
"Why would Dumbledore allow a vampire in the school, and to be so close to students?" Hermione asked. Snape shut his book and looked at the girl.
"Because Aurian isn't as dangerous as he wants you to think. While he is strong, and a little eccentric he is fiercely loyal to Professor Dumbledore. He wouldn't dare to hurt any of the students unless one in particular really jabbed a thorn into his side, and Potter, you might want to back off if you value your neck."
"Why is it always Dumbledore who has all these strange alliances?" Draco asked rather coldly.
"Because, Draco, Dumbledore is one of the greatest wizards of our time. It is only fitting for some odd reason that the greatest vampire of our time and times before be allied with him."
"You say that like you don't agree with it, Professor," Harry said curtly. Snape's eyes darted to Harry.
"Ten points from Gryffindor. For being a smart-"
"I like him," Aurian's voice called in. He appeared sitting with his legs crossed sitting on the windowsill. Harry looked over at the vampire. He smiled fully at Harry exposing his razor sharp fangs.
"Of course he favors Dumbledore's pet!" Draco pouted. Aurian's eyes darted to Draco.
"Malfoy. You're father and I go waaay back," Aurian began. "I remember a time when he and I were in a rather sticky situation and your father actually started to cry. It was rather…funny." Draco's ears turned red with anger.
"Sticky situation?" Harry asked. Aurian's eyes darted back to Harry. He smiled gently at the boy.
"Yes. I'll admit, I've befriended many, many different wizards. Some I have started to regret befriending though."
"And my father's one of them?" Draco spat.
"Actually…no. I rather much enjoy your father. He's certainly an interesting person."
"Aurian. That's enough," Snape announced. "I'd like to begin the lesson now…even if we have only about ten minutes left."
"Yay!" Aurian smiled fully once again exposing his dangerous teeth. Harry noticed that he couldn't keep his eyes off the vampire. Something about him was just…different.
