Ginny followed Draco inside the mansion and handed her cloak to a butler who said "The Lords and Ladies are waiting for you in their lounge." Draco nodded and started down a long hallway with nothing but mirrors on either side. As far as Ginny could see there was no door at all in the hallway.
"Draco what is this"
"This is how they see who is coming." Just as Draco finished a door appeared on Ginny's left side. "Come on." Draco walked into the door. I mean walked actually into the door and straight through it. Ginny sighed and followed him through it.
Once through Ginny was mesmerized at the room. The walls were all blood red and there were no windows. There was a fireplace and six chair placed in a circle near it. But it wasn't how the room looked. Ginny just felt completely at peace as soon as she entered. She just stood by the door for what seemed like ages before she heard someone clear their throat. She looked to the noise and mentally cursed herself. "Forgive me." She said bowing to the Ancients.
"Come sit down Ginevra." A lady whom Ginevra assumed was Lady Despair because she was by far the most beautiful women she had ever seen. She had pale blonde hair that was twisted into and extravagant bun near the top of her head. It had some kind of silver metal that was all twister into the bun and pale blue jewels. Hey eyes were a blue so bright that they were almost white. Her skinned seemed to glow. She was wearing what looked to be a white and blue ancient Greek tunic. Ginevra walked over to the chair next to the one Draco was in and sat down.
"Ginevra it's a honor to meet you." The other lady sitting there said. At once Ginny knew that it was Lady Titania because of the way she looked at her as if she knew something about Ginny that Ginny did not. Ginny laughed on the inside. 'She probably does' she thought. Lady Titania had aqua eyes that were heavily lined with black. Ginny knew it was not makeup but was naturally there. She had honey colored hair that was done in the same way as Lady Despair's but with gold instead of silver, and green jewels. She was also wearing a tunic but hers was white and green.
"Its an honor to meet you to My Lady. All of you." Ginny said holding her head high.
"Draconias why did you not bring her in as soon as she was turned?" Lord Markus said. Ginny could tell it was Lord Markus by the brutality in his voice. He looked like a barbarian. He was large with a beard. He had a dark tanned skin that still seemed to be pale and glowing and abnormally bright blue eyes. His hair was black and had a slight curl to it.
"Markus you already know the answer to that. Do stop pestering the boy." Lord Malachai said. He had golden hair and pale cornflower blue eyes. He wasn't as big as Lord Markus but was still rather large. He had a kind look in his eyes.
"Don't speak to me in that tone Malachai." Lord Markus hissed.
Lord Malachai just laughed it off and looked at Ginny. "Ginevra you are even more beautiful then I expected." He said and took Ginny's hand into his and kissed the top of it causing Ginny to blush deeply.
"Thank you my lord." Ginny smiled and looked down.
"Now down to business." Lady Titania began. "It is my understanding that you are to be staying with Draconias"
"Yes my lady"
"Why are you not with your family? Do they know what your are?" Lady Despair said.
"They know, but I do not believe they like it very much. It seems more beneficial for my learning about what I've become if I stay with Draconias, My Lady"
"OK enough of this," Lord Markus began but was cut short by Lady Despair "Enough from you." Her eyes were now glowing a light shade of red. "Leave at once before you anger me. By the looks of it she was already angry. "You have no right to kick me out. Whatever is said happens to be my business to." Lord Markus glared at Lady Despair.
"You old fool cant you tell that Ginevra is already scared. Now you WILL leave before I make you leave." "You will learn some respect despair." Lord Markus said Lady Despair laughed "And what? You're going to teach me that respect." At that Lady Despair flicked her hand in his direction and he flew out of the room. "Now Malachai please take Draco to have a drink while we chat"
"Of course Despair." Lord Malachai lead Draco out of the room leaving Ginny alone with the two Ancients. "Now let's chat Ginevra"
"First off its our understanding that Kain Vasiale is the one who turned you." Lady Titania said "I am not sure of his last name My Lady but I know his first name was Kain"
"He will be punished accordingly. It was not his place to turn you." Lady Despair began. "Now on to more important business. Contrary to popular believe it is frowned upon for a vampire to drink a humans blood unless that human wants it. So Draconias is going to teach you to control your blood lust. If however it becomes too much you, need to come here immediately and we will give you some blood. I must make myself very clear when I say that if you attack a human you will have to be punished"
"But do not fear Ginevra, we are certain you will be able to control it. There aren't many new bloods that can't. We pride ourselves at the secrecy of our kind. Muggles must not find out that we exist or it would be treacherous for us. Do you understand?" Lady Titania said.
"Yes My Lady"
"Now vampires also have a great perception of the future. Most of the greatest seers were vampires. Have you aver been able to see?" Lady Despair said.
"No My Lady. At least I don't believe I have. This morning, however, I had a horrible nightmare and it seemed very real"
"It could have been your seers powers awaking. My I ask what it was concerning?" Lady Despair asked "Not to be rude My Lady but I really don't want to talk about it. I wish to forget it"
"Very well." Lady Titania began "But do not forget it if was really that bad maybe it could be changed so that it happens differently. Visions are our way to change what needs to be changed for the future to progress right. Have Draconias teach you different ways to see. You must learn the talent to the best of your abilities"
"Yes my lady"
"Now it seems to be getting rather late and Draconias is going to be looking for you shortly." Lady Titania said in a knowing way.
"Yes My ladies. When will I see you again"
"We will let you know when you need to come back. Now you can leave us." Lady Despair said and Ginny bowed before walking out of the room.
Ginny sighed as she walked to the front door to find Draco deep in conversation with Lillith. She cleared her throat as she approached them. "Ginevra I was just going to come and find you." Draco said. "It just came to my attention that Lillith will be attending Hogwarts with us this year as well as Gabriel. She is going to be staying with us the remainder of the summer"
"That sounds good I will have a girl to talk to." Ginny laughed.
"And we have a lot to talk about." Lillith laughed "Gabe there you are were leaving now." Lillith said looking behind Ginny. Ginny turned around and saw a very attractive looking guy carrying a bag and walking their way. He had black hair and startling green eyes. He unlike Lillith was tan and had the same pale glow to his skin just as Lord Markus had.
"I know darling. Gabriel said walking up to Lillith and giving her a kiss.
"I assume you are staying with me as well Gabe?" Draco asked looking at the couple.
"If that's alright. I am going to Hogwarts to"
"Of course that's alright." Draco replied. "Well let's get back to the mansion"
They all put their cloaks on and walked to the apparating point. Once at the mansion they all realized that they were far from tired. "What can we do Draco?" Ginny asked Lillith answered for him "Oh Draco let's go swimming. I haven't been in your pool in ages"
"That sounds good. You and Ginny go get changed and meet us down their." Draco replied Lillith and Ginny walked up to Ginny's room to get changed when Ginny remembered that she didn't have a bathing suit to wear. "Umm.. Lillith you wouldn't happen to have a bathing suit I could borrow would you"
"Of course not. I don't even have a bathing suit for myself." Lillith laughed. "I was just going to put on some slightly more appropriate undergarments. You have some of those right?" Lillith laughed again.
"Of course." Ginny laughed and got changed into some simple black silk boy shorts and a matching black bra. Ginny looked to see that Lillith was wearing practically the same thing as her and they both laughed. "Great minds think alike I guess." Ginny said as they grabbed a couple towels for them and the boys and walked down to a part of the house Ginny hadn't even known existed. Ginny walked into the pool room and was amazed. It was an exact replica of the ocean. From the sand and sun down to the ocean floor. The pool looked as if it was a real ocean. She gasped and caused Draco and Gabriel to look at them and laugh noticing that they weren't exactly wearing swim suits. "I'm not going to get in just yet I think my white skin needs a little sun." Lillith laughed looking down at her extremely white but not pasty flat stomach. Ginny laughed. "Lillith I have seen many pale people but I have to admit you toke the trophy. Although in an odd way it doesn't look bad on you, you look like you're just supposed to be white"
"I am. It runs in the blood I mean look at Draco." The girls laughed as they noticed Draco was extremely pale too. In fact the only tan one there was Gabriel, even Ginny was paler then normal. "Well I will lay out with you." Ginny said and sat down in a lounge chair Ginny and Lillith had been just laying there laughing at something the other had said for about an hour when they noticed that the boys were being a little too quiet. "What do you think they are up to?" Lillith whispered to Ginny.
"I don't know but I don't really want to find out either." Ginny laughed lightly then screamed as two hands grabbed her from behind. She heard Lillith screaming to as they were both picked up and thrown in the pool by Draco and Gabriel. Ginny came up from underwater to find Draco and Gabriel rolling in the sand laughing. They looked up at the wet girls and started laughing harder. While Ginny and Lillith on the other hand were planning to get even. "Draco I cannot believe you did that!" Ginny yelled at him then giggled at the false look of hurt on his face.
"Sure you can don't you know I'm evil" He smirked at her then dove in right beside her. Gabriel slid in from the side and wrapped his arms around Lillith kissing her neck.
"Gabe how many times do I have to tell you not to do that to me in front of people. You know what it does." Lillith said turning around and smacking him playfully.
"I know which means that we're going to have fun tonight." Gabriel said laughing at the look on her face. Draco and Ginny caught on to what they were talking about and the color drained from Draco's face. "Gabe that is my cousin you know"
"Sorry mate. But on the bright side you know to put our room far from yours." Gabriel smiled at him.
"I am going to forget that we even had this conversation." Draco laughed and turned and dunked Ginny underwater much to her surprise.
Ginny came up and smacked Draco on the chest. "You prat! I cant believe you did that." She laughed lunging for him. He easily moved out of her way. Then he grabbed her and whispered "Don't get mad Ginevra get even." "You want me to get even?" She asked. He nodded and all of a sudden she wrapped her arms around his neck and crashed her lips to his in a kiss. Draco pulled her closer then humanly possible to him as his tongue pleaded for entrance into her mouth. They kissed passionately forgetting all about Lillith and Gabriel until they heard Lillith clearing her throat.
"Give the girl some air Draco." Gabriel laughed.
They pulled apart and starred into each others eyes for a few seconds before Ginny looked away blushing deeply. "Sorry about that. I don't know wha…" She was cut off by Draco suddenly.
"Never apologize Ginny." He said and grabbed her up for another kiss.
"Enough." They heard Lillith laugh.
"I think that's enough swimming for tonight." Draco said still starring into Ginny's eyes. He scooped her up and climbed out of the pool carrying her to the door yelling back at Lillith and Gabriel that a houseelf would show them to their room whenever they were ready." Lillith and Gabriel looked at each other grinning then climbed out of the pool and toweled off.
Draco carried Ginny all the way up to his room and laid her on his bed kissing her even more passionately then before.
"Draco what is this"
"This is how they see who is coming." Just as Draco finished a door appeared on Ginny's left side. "Come on." Draco walked into the door. I mean walked actually into the door and straight through it. Ginny sighed and followed him through it.
