A.N. I do not own Harry Potter
It had been seven years since Marcus has last seen his mate Hermione Granger. Yes mate, he is a vampire and vampires have mates. He knew it when he was 17. He would have tried to initiate contact sooner but the damn war broke out. He was tormented seeing her with Potter, then with Krum, and worse; Weasley.
He was not as dumb as people thought, he was diagnosed with dyslexia. He was in the middle of his year for marks. It also meant runes were out of the question as well. He always wanted to play professional quidditch and it happened when he was signed to Wasps.
His parents learned about Hermione and he came home agitated during the Christmas break. They were laughing hysterically when his father said "She is your mate. You only act like that when you are around them. You must be careful, she is 13. You are going to have to wait for her to graduate. It's going to be rough but you will have to do it Marcus."
Due to the fact that Marcus being a vampire, it means he is practically indestructible. It is hard for vampires and they have to wait nearly 150 years after they mate to have children. His father is 290 years old while his mother 215 years old. He knew he would have to bite her when they mated and his mate would begin the change.
Hermione was on the hunt for a horcrux alone where she was ambushed by death eaters leaving her nearly dead. Something in Marcus sensed his mate was hurt and he found her in the forest of Dean. He got them into the manor. She looked so vulnerable and he was not going to let any more harm come to her. She did not look to well.
His mother, Rose came in and saw Marcus keeping guard over Hermione. She knew in some instances vampires have had to turn their mates because their mate had been seriously ill or injured. When that happens, the bond goes up so fast and the adjustment is so easy. This may be a blessing in disguise.
"Marcus, I think you need to turn her now. She has been slowly going downhill these past 6 hours." Rose had cleaned up Hermione when she came into the manor.
"You think so mom?" Marcus had been pondering it. He was going to put her through hell but if it means not losing her, it will be worth it.
"Yes, I will leave the two of you be."
When Rose left, Marcus placed a kiss on his mate's cheek. "Hermione, I am so sorry but this is not going to be fun. You will not be alone at all. I will keep you safe, I promise." She was too out of it to notice anything.
Why he looked like he had the bad teeth in school was Wood sending a nasty hex at his mouth that would take years to wear off. Fortunately he would grow out of it when he turned 18, when the vampire blood took over.
He bit her and she started whimpering in pain and he pulled her close. He also conjured many ice packs to help with the pain. There were tears and sweat pouring down her face and he rubbed circles around her back. She began flushing pink which is the blood burning itself off and the the vampire blood was having its way.
Hermione ' s body began to change which is also part of the change. Her hair turned darker and into ringlets, her skin turned to alabaster hints of pinched pink, her lips turned a berry stained color, there were glorious curves on her body,but she would still be in pain. Marcus saw her clenching her jaw, he knew it was the fangs and it was almost done.
She woke up and he could see the fangs just dropped and her eyes really glowing silver, like a proper vampire.
"Hermione, you are safe..."
"What happened and where am I?"
Marcus was going to have some explaining to do.
