Devil's Snare
By Cataclysmic
Prologue:
Darius was bored, pure and simple.
For over a century, the vampire known as Darius had resided in England. Although there were times of minor excitement, wars forged in both the magical and muggle worlds for over a decade following the defeat of Voldemort he had nothing to do but sulk about and wait for the next conflict to arise.
He had been enjoying Voldemort's reign before the midget brat had brought it to an end. Not that he really supported Voldemort or his ideology, but for his work as a mercenary at the time.
It was not that he had needed the money that his work as a mercenary had brought in. Being somewhat intelligent, and a vampire always had its advantages when it came to money, interest rates no matter how high or low tended to agree with long term investments, and having eternity, he could wait a long time for returns on his investments. No money wasn't the reason he had chosen to work his way through the war as he had. Not that he had let his employers know that...
No it had been the excitement, the danger which had drawn him into conflicts. Voldemort's reign though, had been his first stint as a mercenary.
He had fought with the Austrians in World War 1.
The Allies in World War 11, working in tandem with a group connected to Albus Dumbledore's little army against Grindelwald.
He had enjoyed a stint in Korea fighting with the Communists against the Capitalists.
Eternal life had lost its appeal over time, working as a mercenary during Voldemort's reign was the most perilous situation he had placed himself in since his turning, a very thin line which had to be walked carefully lest one side or the other decide he would be most beneficial unavailable to either side.
His sire would most definitely not have approved.
Not that that mattered much, considering she was dead.
But it was not his tendency to get involved in anything that remotely looked like a war that would have caused her to frown at the moment. Although war was coming, and Darius intended to be involved, there was something else he was plotting which would make things so much more interesting.
Something which would make that thin line just that much thinner.
Darius was planning to turn Harry Potter.
