Prologue

"Hello."

The voice was smooth and low; Harry's eyes narrowed as he turned.

He felt his jaw fall open, a girl stood before him. A beautiful girl with glowing grey eyes and wild curls of midnight hair. As she came closer, Harry found himself frozen in place. The moonlight reflected off her skin and it seemed to almost shimmer as she moved, her long fingers wound themselves under Harry's jaw and closed his mouth. She smiled slowly, and for the first time Harry caught a glimpse of long, white, sharp fangs.

Harry's eyes grew wide, sense came back to his mind. He made to run, opened his mouth to shout, in a split second her hand was pressed hard to his lips, her body covering his, pushing him against a brick wall. He struggled wildly, making a quick grab for his wand, but to no avail. Her strength was immense; she seemed to have no trouble at all holding him, keeping him still and silent.

She grinned now, her eyes igniting with blue flames, "You're special. Different."

Her nose dragged against his jaw, down to his neck. She paused here, breathing deeply, she licked his collar bone, her tongue cold, solid, and slick.

Harry felt shivers run down his spine, his magic suddenly blasted, emitting a whitish glow from his body, trying in vain to force her off.

She chuckled, deep and throatily. "And powerful."

Her free hand ran down his body, tracing the bones of his ribcage, the hollow underneath them, his hips. He shook his head rapidly, still fighting. She stopped and stared deeply into his eyes. Her hand slipped from his mouth, before he could speak, she said, "You will be wonderful. So emotional, so much fire! We will be beautiful together." Her mouth went to his ear, "We'll make magic."

A tinkling laugh.

Harry's eyes grew hard, "I would never be with you! I would never touch you!" Anger flooded his words.

Smiling still, she said, "Oh, dear heart, you are so very wrong. This is right, we are right."

"I'll never be like you! Never, you're a monster! An animal!"

Laughter, again, "Darling, I am a monster, and to tell you the truth, you don't have very much choice in the matter."

Her mouth opened wide, fangs growing longer, piercing his neck. Shocked, Harry screamed, she moaned.
