Anime's Girl: If you guys didn't figure out who was staring at Annalisa before being sorted it was Draco Malfoy of course! To all who added this story to their story alert. I'm surprised. Thank you. I promise I'm going to try and make these chapters as long as possible. I'm going to try to add tons of drama. I will also try to post some links to pictures.
To fill in and explain some things. Annalisa isn't a vampyre per say but she's in the final process of her transformation. She does have a thirst for blood though that will play a part in the story. Yes I will continue to spell vampyre like this because it is the way it is written in the House of Night series.
Disclaimer:I do not own Harry Potter by J.K Rowling nor do I own the House of Night Series by P.C Cast and Kristin Cast. I only own Annalisa Stratton.

Re-cap from the last chapter.
"A vampyre fledging I see!" The sorting hat exclaimed. Annalisa let out a small gasp of surprise and looked out to the crowd and it seemed like everyone was on the edge of their seats to see what house she'd be sorted in.
"Difficult...very difficult...anyone of these house would benefit from you. You are strong,cunning,loyal and intelligent. Now where to put you. " The sorting hat said.
Annalisa bit her lip as she sat there waiting for the sorting hat to say what house she was in. This all seemed very odd. She looked to the table where Harry,Hermione and Ron were sitting they seemed excited. She hoped to be sorted into whatever house they were in. But who knows what the sorting hat was going to say.
"I know...better be..." the sorting hat began. Annalisa bit her lip as she waited for the sorting hat's decision. She looked towards the table Harry was sitting at. He was staring into her eyes. Silently hoping perhaps that she would sorted into his house. She couldn't read his face very well. Ron and Hermione were staring at her as well.
"Slytherin!" the sorting hat exclaimed. The table to her right at the end clapped loudly. Annalisa looked surprised. She walked over to the Slytherin table and got looks from the other table as she made her way. The grey-eyed boy was staring at her again and it seemed like everything was going in slow motion. She turned back to see Ron,Hermione and Harry in a state of shock. She also looked back to see a man with sallow skin,greasy shoulder length black hair and with adorning black robes clapping as well. He just looked at her with a bitter expression. Annalisa took a seat next to the grey-eyed boy. He had silvery blonde hair and pale skin. He was handsome she'd given him that. She had no time to be daydreaming. She focused her attention on the first years being sorted into houses. Slytherin gained a few new people but not as much as Hufflepuff or Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.
The elderly man sitting at the head table stood up and began to speak. He had a loud voice she found surprising.
"I would like to welcome all to another year at Hogwarts..." the man began. Annalisa just drowned him out as he spoke to the first years and students. A couple of minute he finished talking and food appeared on the tables. Annalisa was surprised. They actually let them eat this stuff! None was healthy.
"He says the same thing every year...it gets annoying really." said a girl sitting in front of her taking a piece of chicken. Annalisa turned her attention to her. She had short black hair and a pug like face. The girl wore the same uniform Hermione wore but instead it had green and silver unlike Hermione's who had gold and red.
"I'm Pansy Parkinson.." the girl said smirking. She then turned her attention to the boy sitting next to Annalisa. He was the one who was staring at her and smirking at her when she was being sorted. She turned her attention to him. He was ignoring her.
"Scared I'm going to suck your blood?" Annalisa said smiling. She placed her hands on the table in front her. It quickly caught the boy's attention. He turned her smirking placing his hand on top of hers leaning towards her.
"I'd let you suck my blood any time...Draco Malfoy at your service." he said smirking. Annalisa quickly removed her hand. Who was she kidding?!
"Annalisa Stratton...pleasure to meet you Draco." Annalisa said pushing him back. He was leaning into her way too much. The girl known as Pansy was getting really pissed off. She just growled at her and gave her a dirty look.
"The pleasure is all mine...I see you met Pansy." Draco said.
"Yes I have..." Annalisa replied.
"Over here we have Crabbe and Goyle..." Draco said motioning to the two guys sitting next to Pansy and him on the other side. The two just waved. They had food stuffed in their mouths.
"Draco..who was the man who was just talking?" Annalisa asked. She looked at Draco and he back at her, their eyes connected for a momen then she looked back at the head table.
"That was Albus Dumbledore. God knows how long he's been here...Our head of house is Professor Severus Snape. He looked quite pleased when you were sorted in here. " Draco said pointing to the man she was just looking at.
"Yeah I noticed..." Annalisa replied.
"I see you met Potter,Weasley and Granger.." Draco spat motioning to the trio.
"Yeah I have...why?" Annalisa asked.
"Golden boy Potter...everyone thinks he is so special because he survived the killing curse from he-who-must-not-be-named. Weasley on the hand..his family gives the wizarding world a bad name. Blood traitor in my opinion. Granger is just a...muggleborn who doesn't deserve to be here.." Draco said struggling for the right word when he said muggleborn.
"Oh yeah...what makes you so special?" Annalisa asked raising an eyebrow.
"My whole family has been Slytherin for generations. We are a high ranked pure blood family in the wizarding world. " Draco replied with a smirk.
Meanwhile at the Gryffindor table.
"She was placed into Slytherin..." Harry said looking at Ron and Hermione.
"Of course...she's a vampyre..they suck your blood and naturally the only thing that comes close to sucking your blood here at Hogwarts is a Slytherin." Ron said with annoyance.
"That was rude! You bearly know her and your already making remarks about her and the house she was put in!" Hermione exclaimed.
Harry focused his attention to the Slytherin table. He looked at Annalisa who was talking with none other than Draco Malfoy. He saw her smiling and Draco flirting slightly with her. He saw Draco lean into her smirking.
"Seems she's getting cozy with Draco.." Ginny said looking in the direction of where Harry was looking, breaking the silence.She looked at Harry who snapped back to their conversation. The new girl was certainly gaining a lot of attention but she noticed Harry wasn't particually talkative today.
"Do you think she will fall for him?" Hermione asked taking a sip of pumpkin juice.
"Who knows...at least it'd be with someone of her own house.."Ron said.
Dinner ended soon after that. The first year students were escorted to their dormitories by the Prefects and the rest of them escorted themselves to the dormitories. Draco led Annalisa to the Slytherin portrait. The portrait had a beautiful woman in a lavish green and black renaissance dress. It had black lace and long black sleeves. The woman had long jet black hair in an updo with curls. She had green eyes trimmed with silver.
"Password " the woman asked. Draco quickly said the password and the woman nodded letting them into the room.
Annalisa looked around at the Slytherin common room. The message board quickly caught her eye. The schedule for the week was posted already.
"These are nothing like the classes at the House of Night." Annalisa said. She looked at the schedule more clearly.
"Yeah? What classes did you take there?" Draco asked.
"Literature,vampyre sociology,Drama,fencing,Spanish and Equestrian studies." Annalisa replied.
"Those sound like boring classes." Draco said plopping down on the couch facing the fireplace. The fires crackled and burned bright filling the room with warmth.
"Not really. My mentor Lenobia was head of Equestrian studies." Annalisa replied. She walked over to the couch and sat down.
Draco began tracing a finger down the blue tattoos in her arm. He saw the way they knotted,swirled and twisted into sapphires and feathers. They were so interesting. She was interesting for that matter. She wasn't a witch. She was fledging vampyre and part of him wanted to look at the tattoos more. Seeing where they went and how much of her caramel skin was covered in them.
Annalisa's body tingled as she felt his warm hand trace the tattoos on her arm. She expected his touch to be cold but it wasn't. She quickly looked away.
"You can't imagine how that feels." she breathed. Her icy skin felt warm and her body tingled slightly from his touch.
"Tell me..." He purred in her ear removing her hair getting better access. Sure enough the trail of tattoos covered her back. It was as if he was looking at dream. A girl that he could never posses
"I can't...I can't Draco...We have only just met." Annalisa said looking at him. He stared into her eyes long and hard. He placing his hand on the back of her neck pulling her forward. Their lips nearly touching. Annalisa quickly pulled back.
"Excuse me..." Annalisa said walking up the stairs to the girls dormitories. Draco had become infatuated with her already and the day wasn't even over. Of course he'd have a new girl on his sleeve the next day. She finally reached her bed and opened her trunk. The girls dorm was empty for now. Her housemates would soon be there. The school understood her situation not to wear the school uniform and colors. She pulled out a dark purple top with a black pleated skirt. It was then that she found a journal that she had put in her trunk. She quickly opened to the first page. A note fell out from inside the journal.
Annalisa quickly picked it up placing the journal on her bed.
Anna,
I hope that you have adjusted by now. This journal was your mother Zoey's. It starts from the day before you were adopted to the time when she went to meet Neferet that fateful day. Everything at the House of Night is alright for now but some vampyres are turning up dead and some are turning undead. Its a scary sight. You must finish your transformation there where you are safe once you have transformed you will send me notice. If your transformation is not complete by April I will come and help you along. I will be sending you letters by Owl weekly to see how you are. Remember I am your mentor. I will always be your mentor.
Sincerely,
Professor Lenobia
House of Night
Annalisa put the note away in her trunk before picking up the journal on her bed. She opened it to the first entry.
Journal,
I have been a vampyre for quite some time and so has Erik. I felt getting this journal would be best to record my personal thoughts at the moment. We have decided to adopt a child since we can't have one of our own. Erik and I were married almost 5 years after I was changed. The trust issue was a problem for about a year but he proposed finally and I accepted. We have decided to adopt a daughter. It was Erik's idea. He sort of or hoped that the girl would grow up and be marked and become a high priestess like I am. I'm so excited! A daughter to call my own! Erik is calling me..he needs help placing the final details in the shakespearen nursey. I let him get away with so much. Hmm..my dear little daughter what will you look like I wonder.
Zoey Night
Annalisa placed the journal on her chest,holding it close. She knew about why her father Erik hadn't been able to trust her mother Zoey for about year. Her mother had slept with none other than Vampyre Poet and Professor at the House of Night Loren Blake and he had caught her. Her mother Zoey had explained it. She put the journal back into her trunk and layed down on her bed.
She let sleep take her soon after that. She twisted and turned in her sleep. The memories of the night of her parents death replayed over and over. Neferet over their dead bodies drinking their bloods. She woke up with a startled gasp sweat covering her forehead. The thought of her first day of classes lingered in her head.
