Vampire's Fight Chapter 6
After Dumbledore had dismissed everyone Harry was led to the Gryffindor common room and then shown to the first year boy's dorms. While the other boys were asleep Harry meditated in his bed for two hours building his mental walls as Zander had showed him earlier in the summer before going to sleep. After going to sleep Harry dreamed of Ginny all night long and it freaked him out so he promised himself to write Zander about it when he woke up. Harry awoke bright and early the next morning and began writing his letter to Zander.
Dear Zander,
Last night I had this strange and funny dream about Ginny Weasley. I kept seeing her face and I wanted to kiss her and make her my own. It was really scary. Can you please tell me what is going on? Also the other day at the train I felt a huge pull to her and when I left on the train it felt like I was leaving part of myself behind. Another thing, the sorting hat told me that my other half would be here next year and that I needed to watch out for her. I had no idea what he meant at first but now I think he meant Ginny. Well I have to go for now the other boys are waking up.
Later
Harry
Harry rolled up his letter to Zander and took it to the owlery and tided the letter to Hedwig's leg and sent her off. Then he went into the great fall for breakfast. As soon as he stepped inside the great hall he felt his bloodlust kick in. He then remembered that in his rush to get out his letter to Zander he had forgotten to take his blood serum. So Harry forced himself away from the Great Hall and back to the dormitories. Once he was safely locked away in his room he drank the serum and returned to normal. Harry vowed to himself after this near mishap that he would always drink his serum before going anywhere close to humans.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Professor Dumbledore had seen Harry enter the Great Hall. When he saw Harry's bloodlust take over and his eyes turn a deep red color, Albus paled but readied himself to take Harry down if necessary. Dumbledore was very surprised when Harry tore himself away. While Dumbledore was surprised at what Harry had done he was still very pleased.
"At least Zander has given the boy the power to withstand his bloodlust for hundreds people," Dumbledore thought to himself.
It wasn't normal for a vampire that was so young to do but Dumbledore was grateful that Harry could.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
After Harry had calmed down he returned to breakfast. Professor McGonagall handed out the time tables for everyone. When Harry got his he noticed that he had Transfiguration first with the Slytherins. Harry finished off his breakfast and headed to the Transfiguration classroom early. He didn't want to be late the first day of class and upset Zander. Once almost everyone had entered the classroom Harry started to wonder where Professor McGonagall was. That's when he noticed a gray and black tabby cat sitting on the desk. He smirked and used his vampire senses to smell Professor McGonagall. It was just as he had thought; the tabby cat was Professor McGonagall. Bout the time Harry had thought this Ron Weasley and Seamus Finnegan came in late.
"Whew at least Professor McGonagall isn't here yet," said Ron relieved.
Just as he finished saying it Professor McGonagall transformed from the tabby cat.
"Bloody hell, that was wicked," Ron said amazed.
"Why thank you Mr. Weasley but do you mind telling me why you were late to my class?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"We got lost Professor," said Seamus looking at his feet.
"Very well since this is your first time being late I'll excuse it this time but don't make a habit out of it," McGonagall said sternly.
"Yes ma'am" they both coursed.
She then proceeded to her desk and transfigured a quill into a map and made a copy of it and handed it to both boys and told them to take their seats before starting the lesson. She taught them how to turn a match into a needle. Harry was the first one to turn his match into a needle. He then noticed that Hermione to was having a bit of trouble. He asked Hermione if she wanted some help. She said yes. He then proceeded to show her how to move her wand correctly and told her that instead of trying to force the magic to do what you want it to do just let it flow and picture the match turning into a needle. Hermione tried it and she got it after her second attempt. She jumped for joy and gave Harry a huge hug.
"Very well done needle Mr. Potter; five points to Gryffindor and another ten for an excellent explanation of how to perform the spell. Also five for helping a fellow student." Professor McGonagall said warmly.
Harry simply beamed at her.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Much of Harry's classes were the same. He got everything on the first try. It amazed most of his teachers. Potions was however a totally different story. Professor Snape seemed to hate Harry the instant he entered the door. Snape made fun of Harry's father. Harry had wanted to rip Snape a new one but controlled his anger very well not wanting to give Snape the satisfaction of knowing he had gotten to Harry. Once Harry had almost lost control and let his fangs extend and Snape saw it and he paled. He stopped insulting Harry's father after that and began asking Harry all kinds of potion questions. Harry of course answered every one of them right as Zander had taught him very well. He smirked as Snape seemed to get angrier with every question he got correct. Snape got so frustrated he yelled at all them to get their supplies and get to work on the potion on the board and sat down at his desk.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hedwig arrived at Harry's and Zander's home with Harry's letter. Zander read the letter and smiled, he knew exactly what was going on with Harry. His vampiric soul bond with the youngest Weasley was starting to form. Pretty soon Harry and Ginny would need to be in constant contact with each other or both of them would die. So he began the task of telling Harry what was going on with him and the youngest Weasley.
Dear Harry,
I don't know exactly how to tell you this but when you felt the pull towards Ginny, it was your vampiric side forming a soul bond with her. I know you are going to ask what a soul bond is. Well to be truthful to you it is simply your body finding your perfect match. Once you have completed your bonding with Ginny you two will be able to share each others pain, joy, and sadness. Don't worry that's not all you will also be able to speak to each other in your minds, see through each others eyes, be able to tell when the other one is in danger, and also last but not least be able to summon each other to your side at any point and time no matter what. That of course is just a brief explanation of everything. I will tell you more once you come home for the Christmas holidays.
p.s. as the bond grows stronger she and you will need to spend as much time together and in as much physical contact as possible or you both will die.
Zander
Zander rolled up the letter and went to bed and when he awoke the next morning tied the letter to Hedwig's leg and sent her off to Harry.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Harry sat in the common room working on the charms essay Professor Flitwick had set for them when Ron came up to him and sat down beside him.
"Sorry we haven't talked much since the train," Ron said sheepishly.
"Its alright we've both been very busy today, anything in particular you wanted to talk about Ron," Harry asked.
"No just wanted to apologize for not speaking to you is all," he said.
"Well thanks Ron but I'm beat and I think I'll head to bed since I'm finished with my essay," said Harry.
"Ok I am pretty beat myself too," Ron said.
With that they both headed up the stairs for bed. It wasn't much now but Harry finally found that he was making friends. First with Hermione then Ron he smiled to himself before building his mental wall and falling into a restful sleep with a certain redhead in his dreams.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
