"Release me" Breathed the Creature, trying vainly to break through the Warding Charm holding it in place "Release me and I can give you more power than you have ever imagined"

"Power isn't something I live for" its prey bit out

"Oh really" the Creature paused in its escape attempts to treat him to a dry laugh "Are you so sure? I can see it in your mind, you know. You want to be the best, for all to know your name. I can help you"

The choices we make in life decide which side of the line we fall on" The Creature Paused "Or that at least is what your peers tell you, isn't it? What they are to blind to realise is that this 'line' they rant about encompasses the Earth. There is no Good, no Evil, no Light, no Dark. Only Grey. Do you understand me, boy?"

"What are you getting at" Its prey stated

"I can give you power over life and death, but only if you release me"

"Release you … right"

The Creatures Prey paused, raising his wand "Finite Incantium"

The Creature stretched in its now-regained freedom as the Warding Charm dissipated into nothingness. It stretched again, before speaking "When you wake, you will have to make a choice-'' The vampire lunged, ripping into its prey's neck, drinking deeply, then sharing its blood with the prey "- Ron Weasley"

A/N: This was a simple flight of fancy, I have the vague idea of what I could follow it with, but that depends, as always, on the response I get.
