HP 5th year
VK after Kaname defeated Rido.
On The Boat
Yuuki Cross looked up at the towering castle that will be their home for the next 10 months, She can't help but be mesmerized by the view set in front of her. Even in the dark, the castle gives out a foreboding yet breathtaking aura. It was massive! The biggest dwelling she's ever seen.!
Strong arms wrapped around her waist while warm breath tried to sooth her. Her beau sure knows how to calm her nerves. "Enjoying the view?" Kaname asked.
"Yes, it is beautiful," she said with little enthusiasm.
"You don't seem well," she had to smile at that. 'Kaname... always the worrier' she thought.
"I'm fine, Kaname. I'm just a bit uneasy."
"I asure you that all will be well. Wizards are far more accepting of our kind than normal humans. This will be a good experience for all of us." He said as he kissed the top of her head.
The boat that they were on swayed a bit. It appears that one of their companions is getting more and more impatient. Aido… She thought.
Aido scanned his surrounding. Truly, the castle is impressive but safety should be put on top priority. Aido had little experience of the magical world and most of what he knows came from books that he saw fit to study when Kaname announced that they will be moving to Hogwarts.
It took a lot of gruelling peace negations, business talks and a bit of threatening (by Kaname) to convince the Minister of Magic to grant them a place at said school. The prime minister and Kaname had reached an agreement that only a select few of Kaname's kind shall be able to come. A deal that is favourable to Kaname. Aido surmissed that their dorm president really knows how to strike a win-win deal.
Aido keenly watched the loving pair and can't help but roll his eyes, Yuuki's been fidgeting the whole time.
Harry Potter sits on the carriage that will take him and his friends to Hogwarts ground while warily staring at the skeletal horses. He still can't wrap his head around the fact that he and Luna are the only ones who can see these apparitions. Has he gone insane?
While they are flying above Hogwart's lake, he took a few moments to watch all those first years taking their first boat ride to Hogwarts. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted several boats. The boats' occupants are the most beautiful creatures he's ever seen. Their pale skin seems to glow from the moonlight making them look almost inhuman.
"Vampires," Harry whirled around and saw Luna Lovegood staring directly at him.
"They're vampires. Beautiful aren't they?".
"Vampires? Where?" Hermione whirled around but the lake is already out of view.
"How can you tell that they're vampires?" Harry inquired.
"Just a gut feeling," she shrugged and returned to her Quibbler. How she can read in the dark, Harry have no idea.
Great Hall
"It's impossible for Dumbledore to let Vampires in Hogwarts. It's probably just one of Loony's daydream."
"I saw them Ron, they're all beautiful. Besides, Dumbledore let Professor Lupin teach us 2 years back and he's a werewolf," Harry reasoned.
"They're probably just normal beautiful humans. It's only Luna who said they're vampires." Hermione said.
The sorting was about to begin when Harry was about to retort. The sorting hat begun to sing and a long list of first years were sorted. Harry is keenly watching out for the odd but beautiful group. But now that he's thought about it, none of them looks anything like a first year student. They seem to be the same age as him.
Finally, the last 1st year was sorted and Dumbledore rose from his seat.
"This year is a very special year for Hogwarts. We will be having a few addition to our staff and students. This year Hogwarts will also be the home of students from an elite school from Japan, Cross Academy. You must know that Cross Academy is a school that caters to both humans and vampires".
Loud chatter and uproar erupted in the hall.
"I knew it vampires," Harry bellowed towards Hermione and Ron.
"What the bloody hell is Dumbledore thinking," Ron turned mouth agaped at Dumbledore's direction.
"As part of a peace-treaty between humans and vampires, the Ministry Of Magic has agreed that a few representatives from the vampire race will attend Hogwarts. Fear not my dear students as we have been assured that they do not drink human blood by choice."
"What do they drink then?"
"That's a good question, Ms. Granger. Blood Tablets. These tablets are invented to imitate true blood. Modern vampires use them as substitute. Moving on, the Vampire Hunter association has graciously provided us with Guardians to tame the vampires should they step out of line."
"All in all, we have 25 transfer students. As they only move about during the night, they shall comprise our new night class. There shall be minimal interaction between our guests and our dear students but please do what you can to make them feel welcome. They will not be sorted for they will also comprise our newly established Fifth House, The Night Class Dorm. I know that you're all enthusiastic to greet them..."
Lots of people snorted at this, particularly those from Slytherin
"Let us all welcome...The Night Class!"
All were silent as 25 beautiful boys and girls entered the great hall. There steps all seem graceful and their faces void of emotion... like dolls, except for one boy with blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes.
"I'll be in your dreams soon ladies! (wink)." Aidou seems to be on his best element right now. Dutifully doing his role. Many of the girls giggled and swooned.
"We really have to hand it to Hanabusa, he sure knows how to break the ice", Akatsuki whispered to Ruka.
"He's an idiot."
Harry can't help but notice the pretty girl in front. She has long reddish brown hair and pale skin. Her petite stature makes her look very fragile. But what's really striking about her are her wine colored eyes. A tall young man with similar feature walks beside her. As if for comfort, the man leaned towards the young girl and whispered inaudibly. The girl raised her chin towards the man then shyly looked away with a gentle smile on her face.
The group went to the table at the far end beside the Slytherins table.
"Now that we all have settled in, tuck in."
Food has miraculously appeared on the tables. However, despite their hunger, everyone seems to be wary of eating amidst vampires. All are craning their neck to see a better look as most are curious on their diet.
"Do you think, they have a victim with them?"
"Maybe they brought blood."
"Where are those blood tablets."
"It's rude to stare," said a pissed of Ruka. The boy from the Slytherin table sneered before looking away.
"I guess it can't be helped." Ichijou pulled out what seems to be a medicine dispenser and took out a tablet. He raised it up for everyone to see and dropped it to his glass of water. Slowly, the water turned red. The other vampires did the same except the young man and woman with wine colored eyes did the same. The vampires drank their fill of blood colored tablets and started to chat among themselves.
Again, the great hall erupted with whispers.
"Maybe those tablets are really blood. You know… concentrated or something." Ron said with a mouthful of chicken.
"You make it sound like juice," said Harry while making a grab for some steak.
"It could be interesting, though. These vampires. I wonder what's it like for them. You know ..their society. Cause unlike werewolves, they would move in covens. From what I heard they even hold parties and live with luxury. I think I'd like to befriend some of them"
"Are you bloody out of your mind, Mione. They're blood suckers. They're going to drink your blood."
"Ron. I'd have you know that Professor Lupin is a werewolf and he turned out to be a good friend."
"That's different!"
"How so?"
Harry rolled his eyes and just let his best friends bicker. And suddenly out of nowhere, the pretty wine-colored eyed girl walked up to them.
Harry was stunned as the girl is just truly beautiful. He was reminded of how it felt like to have a veela stand in front of you. Am I being glamoured? Harry thought.
"Can I have the your tessa, please?"
Harry noticed that she was planked by two other vampires. A girl with strawberry blonde hair and the flirty blonde boy from before. Everyone in the great hall watch the exchange with keen curious eyes while some are whispering with the person closest to them.
The girl with long strawberry-blonde hair glaired at Ron in annoyance.
"Oh, where are my manners. My name is Yuuki and these are Aidou and Ruka. So, can we have your tessa, please?"
"Er? Which one again?"
The boy with blonde hair snickered.
"That one," And she pointed at the plate full of sliced raw fish.
Hermione seem to came out of her shock and started to introduce herself.
"Hermione Granger. The red head here is Ron Weasley and that is Harry P… I mean Harry."
"Harry Potter? We know. Don't worry, we're not gonna gape at you like idiots. Your life story's not so impressive to us vampires," Ruka haughtily supplied.
"Be nice, Ruka. We're the ones who approached them." Aidou said in amusement.
"Oh and you wouldn't want to be sucking his blood, regardless of what his life story is?" said Ron.
The girl named Yuuki appeared hurt at Ron's accusation. The other two vampires simply narrowed their eyes as if they were inspecting an insect.
"We don't just suck anyone's blood you know, we have standards."
"We're glad to meet you, Harry." Yuuki smiled warmly but the hurt still shows in her eyes. She again pointed at the plate of tessa. Harry handed it over to them and Aidou carried it to their table.
"Just what was that about?" Hermione rounded on Ron.
"What? They haughtily came over to us like some bloody Slytherins. No wonder their tables are next .to each other, they act like Slytherins!"
"Not Yuuki!"
"You're on first name basis with her already? They're vampires, Harry. They could be in line with You-Know-Who. Not to mention the fact that they drink blood. They turn innocent blokes out there into something like them. They drink blood. Who are you to say that they haven't killed anyone in the process?"
Harry was about tom say something but Hermione as usual will always be quicker to talk back to Ron. So he just let her. "The girl Yuuki seems hurt with what you've said. Maybe they're really out here to make friends. Maybe they just want to live normally. We don't know much about how they live. Maybe we should know more about them and decide after. Even if they become enemies in the future, isn't it better to know about your enemies more?"
"She does have a point, Ron."
"Maybe, she's acting. Or maybe, we're being glamoured."
"You mean like what Fleur did to you?"
Ron's ears turned bright red. Harry had to snicker at the memory and Ron gave him a whack on the head.
"Fine! Be friends with them. But you wouldn't be able to stop me from saying 'I told you, so' when things turned out the way I predicted."
"We won't. And you were never the best student at divination, Ron."
"Hey, you're supposed to be my bestfriend!."
