Everyone were in the buzz, Harrison noted. He arrived later, with Blaise, and found that others were all full of excitment. When he asked, nobody could give him a specific answer, only saying it just a feeling in the air that had them moving. And few moment after, Harrison relised why. Riddle was pleased, greatly so, and was excited about something and his magic flood with that emotion the intaire area making most of the students which magic was weaker and was easily conquered by Riddle's powerful one, bubbly and excitet. Harrison was pleased to see that while Blaise seemed anticipated, he certaintly didn't jumped on top of his toes with bright, wide eyes and grins.

Neither was he, or Draco Malfoy for that matter. There were few others, but Harrison didn't payed much attention on them to truly notice them. Though he memorised them, just in case.

Riddle steped before them, smirking and Harrison saw that many were looking at him with admiriation, devotion and even love. He knew those looks. Many had given it to him and Katherine when they would be under their spells and Katherine always enjoyed the attention she got from there.

„Tonight is special. I have a guest to introduce to you who will help you in developing your phical abilities. He is a vampire and his name is Jake Silver.", just as the name was uttered, hell even when the speiceman of the said guest was uttered Harrison was frozen. He knew that vampire well and the same vampire knew him, very well. Maybe to well. Before Harrison could even blinked, he was shoved against the tree with a strong hand against his throat and he looked at the handsome face framed with sexy styled light brown hair. The usual blue eyes were now pitch black with viens under them, moving as the, oh so familiar lips curled in a sexy smirk. Harrison reacted insitctively, (really, he was not one to blame!) forgeting for a moment where exactly he was and with whom, the action bringing to many good, old memories.

He slapped the hand away, his other hand quickly curling around Jack Silver's own neck as he moved and pressed the still smirking vampire against the other tree in a blink making him groan in pleasure. Oh, he always knew that Jack had pain/pleasure strick. Well, it was not like he was any better in some cases. Moment later he realised he used the vampire speed; something he shouldn't do, as he recalled, but as Jack's face was just inched away from his own face, with Jack hand curling around his coral bone, Harrison was sure they would be minutes away from refreshing the old memories the more interesting way then talk. The powerful „Stop!", that shook something in Harrison, had both Jack and Harrison looking in a direction of a voice, only to be incountered by a red, furious eyes. harrison eyes widened. The athmospheren has changed and everybody else was still as they watched their leader and the pair that still didn't let go of each other troaths.

„Enough.", Riddle hissed coldly and Jack moved away from him, releasing his troat in the process as he steped a small step back. Harrison though, also recalled the last time he truly saw Jack and with a small smile, he grabed Jack's arm and with smooth movement broked it, effectivly bringing Jack to his knees with both power and movement as he twisted the arm behind his back, making the bones break with a sickening crack.

When Riddle's glare was aimed at him, Harrison just smiled innocently. He looked down at the vampire on his knees.

„Looking good, Jack, on your knees and all. It's a good position for you.", Harrison said, still smiling that innocent smile. If Jack was a friend of Riddle, Harrison had no doubt that his secret abilities will be told to the men, and this little display didn't helped the matters, exactly. No reason to hide, in Harrison opinion. He wasn't that much like Katherine. why not show what he got when he was already uncovered half-way?

Jack chuckled even though he was obviously in pain as he set his arm in place. Harrison could feel everyones eyes on him and he saw from corner of his eyes, that many had their wands ready and secure in their hands, but were obviously confused and unsure how to reacte to this turn of event.

„Is this how you treat all of your lovers when you see them again?", Jack said without shame, as always. Harrison felt no remorse over what he did next, even though he still considered Jack a dear friend. Jack suddendly screamed as his mind was high up in a pressure and Harrison kicked him in a side, sending him in a near by tree, hitting his other side and falling on the ground with a pained groan and more sickening cracks that had many staring wide-eyed and gaping and gasping at Harrison backing away from him though he didn't pay attention to them.

„Only the ones that leave without a world and stealing in a process.", Harrison said with a satisfied grin. He knew Jack very well before he slept with him and he wasn't very suprised when it happened and he forgave him for that, but it was nice to also get a bit of fun revenge out of that. After all, he deserved it even though he was hurt there for just some five minutes, but still.

„I guess you two know each other?", Riddle's cold voice cut in and Harrison looked over it him.

„You could say that.",Harrison replied calmly as Jack heaved himself up with a groan, already healing.

„Oh, yeah. We know each other very well.", Jack said as he straighten and ruffled his hair. He looked at Harrison with a pout. „You hurt me."

Harrison rolled his eyes. „You stoled my favorite bracelet."

„I wanted to have something to remeber you by. Besides, since when do you care about material things.", Jakc said with a cheeky smile. Harrison glared.

„Yes,well, I am more interested how Mr. Pierce here managed to do the fit he just did.", Riddle's piercing voice sounded and Harrison was incountered with accusing, narrowed, red gaze of a powerful and obviously furious wizard. It bothered him slightly that Riddle was calling him Mr. Pierce again. He never did it now outside of classroom. It was obvious that earlier excitment completly died down and there only anger in those expressive, red eyes.

„Oh, he didn't told you? His little secret? Any of you?", Jake said as he looked around in frozen students who were glancing between themself and at Harrison and the newcomer, quetly wishpering amongst themselfs.

Jack laughed, obviously delighted. Harrison refused to meet Blaise's eyes, knowing there would emotions he couldn't and wouldn't handle in the moment. Instead he crossed his arms and glared lightly at Jack.

„It is my secret to tell you, is it not?", Harrison asked with a grim face while his eyes flashed angrily. Jack grinned at him as he saluntered over, obvious over the fact that a few minutes ago Harrison practicaly beat him up or that hewas making him angry once again.

„Why, yes, darling, it is, but you see after this little scene, I think it is pretty much out.", Jack said.

„And who do I have to thank for that?", Harrison said sarcastically as he glared.

„Enough of this.", Riddle interapted, cutting of what Jack wanted to say. He looked at the gathered. „All of you, expect of Mr. Pierce and Mr. Silver here, get back to your dorms. The next meeting is tommorow at the same time.", his voice indicated no room for discussion, not that any would try anyway and many have shuffled foward to the mostly concealed opening that led back to Hogwarts. Harrison frowned for a second. He was used to being called by his first name by Riddle. It was strange to hear him again say it like that, with so much anger in it, just like before. He looked over others students who were looking bewildered and confused, some intrigured and curious while some just lookingo n, spectulecting about it, scheming like Slytherins and guessing who and what this means for them. Blaise stayed a bit, trying to cath Harrison's gaze, but when Harrison subtebly shook his head, telling him not now, he moved foward with the others. Draco Malfoy was also the ones who stayed behind as he looked at Riddle who was stoick still, anger evident, obviously hoping that Riddle will permit him to stay, but after a glare aimed his way he was too on his way to Hogwarts.

When they were complietly alone, Riddle turned to Jack and hissed."Explain."

Jack glanced at Harrison and Harrison glared at him, before turning towards Riddle.

„It's seems we have some common… friends, I suppose.", Harrison said, glancing briefly at Jack up and down as if measuring if he truly is a friend or not.

„Anyways, he and Katherine know each other and he and I were briefly involved at the beggining of the summer. After his little stunt, he decided to hide his face.", Harrison glared at Jack for that who attempt the apologized smile.

„That doesn't explains your ability to move like a vampire nor throw one in the trees.", Riddle said and he was suddendly towering over Harrison. Fuck, how did he managed that? Harrison wondered if Riddle had some super speed to get so silently and quickly before Harrison, glaring down at him. Riddle was tall, always has been, but now he looked even taller with his magic swirling around him and his handsome face set in a glare. Harrison felt lucky he, himself, was tall because if he wasn't he would feel tiny compered to this angered wizard. He also felt lucky he didn't blushed at having Riddle so close to him. he wasn't blind and it was hard not to notice Riddle's body or his handsome face. Not that he would ever admit he noticed it.

„I… I was healed with vampire blood one to many times when I was hurt and it seemed to…", Harrison lie was interapted by Riddle burst of magic that was like a cold, cutting knife.

„Don't you dare lie to me, Harrison.", Riddle said and grasped Harrison's shoulders with an iron grip, leaving bruises. Jack came foward, wanting to calm the situation, but only managed to get himself thrown far away by Riddle's magic and falling unconcious by the impact that furious magic had on his body and his mental state.

„You are not my master and I don't have to tell you anything!", Harrison proclaimed and threw Riddle away from him. Riddle kept himself somehow on his feet and when Harrison was already running away, he sent his magic, grabing Harrison and stilling him as he appeareted before his captived prey. Harrison, though, manadged to break free using his magic, but before he could move Riddle had influnged him in a… hug, you could say. Well, it's definition would be a hug with long arms going around someone's body and hugging, but Riddle didn't do hugs, right? Harrison froze as Riddle had his arms locked around him, tightly, but not painfully and not matter what Harrison did, resisting bodily and with his magic, Riddle didn't let go, somehow strenghting and locking Harrison in place with just his arms and Harrison felt Riddle's magic locking around his like an iron grip, helping Riddle out in keeping him locked up, overpowering him.

Realising there is no escape, Harrison stoped, but he was rigid and still as his face was pressed in Riddle's shoulder. This was weird. What was Riddle doing? Though Harrison noticed that a body pressed against him was very developted and all muscle. He stilled his hands from exploring the planes of strong chest and abs. Bad thoughts.

„You won't lie to me, Harrison. you better not. I don't care if you lie to others, but to me you will not. Tell me the truth, Harrison. I promise I won't use it against you and that I won't betray your secret.", Riddle murmered in his ear and it took everything not to shiver
from the hot breath on his face.

„Why?", Harrison was confused, deeply so. Riddle wasn't himself. Why was he acting like this?
