Recap
Ohh how I wish I could put some thing in there. Padfoot then side '' well, Harry since you are up I can tell you can turn back to your other form. ''k'' I said and I turned back and watched my mate mouth drop lower. He better stop that or I will have to have like ten showers a day just by that look. Padfoot then started saying '' Harry, Severus here is more then we thought he is…"
To the story
'' Harry, Severus here is more then we thought he is… he is a kitsune/vampire hybrid.
I felt my mouth open a bit in shock then I gather myself and shrug ''so'' I said in a mutual tone those I was walking over to our selves and searching up kitsune. I had to flip a few pages to find what I wanted to know the book said…
Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are commonly found in Japanese folklore due to the fact that they lived in very close proximity with humans in ancient Japan. Many tales depict these four-legged mythical creatures as extremely intelligent beings that also possess magical powers. These powers are said to increase along with their age and wisdom.
These beasts can be described as having as many a nine tails. The exact number of tails they have reflect their age, power and wisdom.
Longevity and the ability to assume human form is among their most popular magical capabilities. They are portrayed in stories as faithful guardians, friends, sometimes lovers and even wives.
In some accounts, these creatures are also known for being evil and destructive. They can generate fire from their many tails, bend time and space, render themselves invisible and shape-shift into other terrifying forms.
They sat watching me as I flipped to the pages on vampires I didn't need to know but I did becsaue I want to keep my mate happy so I went to the page and it said…
The belief in vampires has been around some say, as long as man himself. These undead creatures mainly sustain themselves by feeding on the blood of other living creatures. Their wide range of appearance goes from being nearly human to a bloated rotting corpse. Familiar depictions are of astonishingly beautiful humans who remain forever healthy and youthful.
Panic has stricken various villages and communities throughout the ages causing many witch hunts and burnings, unearthing of corpses and the performance of unthinkable rituals – all in order to annihilate the possibility of such beings.
Driving stakes through their hearts or legs, decapitation, placing bricks and pieces of steel in their mouths, nailing their clothing to the ground to prevent them from rising at night and pouring boiling water over their graves when done – all of these things were done in the quest to eradicate these inhuman entities. From garlic to sacred water, a branch of hawthorn or a wild rose, a crucifix or rosary, mustard seeds and mirrors – all of these were said to aide in warding off these horrid creatures.

Pre-vampire
Vampires, while certainly unusual to the 21st century observer, were not a cultural anomaly during their heyday. Vampires were, in fact, the last major addition to Eastern Europe's folk beliefs before the end of the middle ages. Vampires can count among their predecessor's spirits, demons/the Devil, witches, and werewolves. And because the vampire myth owes so much to this rich background, these pre-vampire "beasties" has merit study all it own.
Then Vampire Creation Myths said…
Cain and Lilith
Enter Lilith: This myth begins at the very creation of man. Lilith, according to Hebrew/ Jewish texts, was the first woman created for Adam.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it.
Genesis 1:27-28
Many have made her a model for feminism, because when Adam demanded that she always be on the bottom for... um... sleeping purposes, she grew angry. "Why must I always be on the bottom? I was made of the same stuff as you. I should be on the top equally." When Adam would not relent in his domination of her, she grew so angry that she uttered the holy name of God and vanished. God then had to make Eve for Adam, making her of his rib bone, rather than wholly dust, so that she would be attached to him and not leave as Lilith had done.
Lilith went out to the Red Sea, where she made a bargain with the angels who had been sent to fetch her back to Adam. She was allowed to stay out on her own, as a witch, mother of all demons. She was allowed to kill infants up until their naming day (I believe 7 days for girls and 8 days for boys), unless they had a charm over their sleeping place with the names of the angels on them. Then, she promised, she would not kill them. (This story is usually explained as being an explanation for SIDS- sudden infant death syndrome.) Lilith killed human children in retaliation for the thousands of her own demon children who were killed in the wars between good and evil.
Enter Cain: Cain was the firstborn son of Adam and Eve. He was banished, with a mark, from the land of his parents because he killed his brother in a jealous rage.
10 What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crith unto me from the ground.
11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
15 And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven fold. And the LORD set a mark on Cain, lest any finding him shall kill him."
Genesis 4:10-15
According to vampire legend, Cain wandered until he found Lilith by the Red Sea. She took him in and showed him the power of blood.
From Cain and Lilith came a host of demons and vampires in the vague myths. Cain is mentioned in the Bible as having a number of legitimate children, with an unnamed woman/ wife. Some of his children are even highly regarded, as they are listed with their inventions, such as the harp and metal working. But, past Gen. 4:26 there is no more mention of Cain's children or his line. Cain himself is referred to only twice more, in the New Testament, as "the prototype of the wicked man."
From what there is presented in the Bible, there is little to go on with the myth of Cain and Lilith. Lilith herself appears only in Jewish apocrypha texts- she is in neither the Torah nor the Bible. But what is interesting is Cain- and it might be inferred Lilith too- appears in the epic poem Beowulf, and with much more mention than he ever receives in the Bible.
...Till the monster stirred, that demon, that fiend,
Grendel, who haunted the moors, the wild
Marshes, and made his home in a hell
Not hell but earth. He was spawned in that slime,
Conceived by a pair of those monsters born
Of Cain, murderous creatures banished
By God, punished forever for the crime
Of Abel's death. The Almighty drove
Those demons out, and their exile was bitter,
Shut away from men; they split
Into a thousand forms of evil- spirits
And fiends, goblins, monsters, giants,
A brood forever opposing the Lord's
Will, and again and again defeated.
(Ll. 101-114)
...Cain had killed his only
Brother, slain his father's son
With an angry sword, God drove him off,
Outlawed him to the dry and barren desert,
And branded him with a murder's mark. And he bore
A race of fiends accursed like their father...
(Ll. 1261-1266)
How intriguing is that? Where does the author's venom for Cain come from? Yes, he's a sinner, but in the Bible it seems that he goes off and does the best he can, building the city of Enoch, and having a lineage of creative descendants. In the other references to him, he is used as an example of a sinner, but without malice. But the author(s) of Beowulf seems to heap undue vileness onto Cain. There is simply no place in the Bible that speaks of Cain in such a hate-filled regard.
What's even more interesting is that Grendel's forefathers are referred to as a pair. "The Almighty drove/ Those demons out" when there is clearly no mention of God driving anyone out of Eden but Cain. The only other time we see sin in (around) Eden is when we look at the legends of Lilith. It was she who said the holy name of God and vanished out from Eden. And Lilith, in the Jewish tradition, has always been seen as the mother of demons. So for there to have been demons, Lilith must have conceived them (Cain's wife was busy having good children). I think the original author of Beowulf must have known of this Lilith legend (it certainly isn't obscure) and implied this in his writing, because the audience otherwise knows that there was no one expelled but Cain, and that, in the Bible, he stays a legitimate person, not a bearer of monsters.
To further drive home the point that the author knew what he was talking about, Beowulf was first written down and preserved by monks- who were the only literate people in their time. The tale originated somewhere in the 600's in England, and was thought to have been written down at a later time (it was a bard's tale before that, made to be sung). As monks have a notorious reputation for adding God and His works into things as they write, we would certainly expect to find more references to Christianity than would have probably been present in the newly-Christian world that the poem was composed in. So it can only be concluded that the author knew what he was talking about and wrote down something that had meaning to his audience at the time, but which has been lost to us since. At the time of the composing of the poem, and during the later years when it was written down, the Bible of choice was the Vulgate, of Jerome's Latin Bible. I have attempted to look through the Latin text of this Bible, and have searched for Cain references, but it appears to have no more to say about Cain than does the later (and most popular) version, the King James Version (which most all of us know). The origin of the Cain = monstrous evil myth is well obscured and lost, which allows us to speculate even more as to where monsters- in particular, vampires- came from.

The "Dracula Disease"
This rare disease known as the "vampire" or "Dracula" disease, or by it's proper medical name, porphyria (pronounced por-fer-e-ah, or por-fi-re-ah) is thought to be one of, or the reason for the vampire scares throughout time, in cultures around the world. It is very hard to describe it out of a nurse's dictionary- it's a lot on the technical side- but I'm going to try my best to put it in layman's terms.
First of all, porphyria is a genetic disease. Because it is hereditary, it can't be caught by blood or other fluid exchange. There shoots down all those old legends of vampires biting someone and they become a vampire themselves. If having porphyria makes you a vampire, then you cannot give it to others. You cannot make other vampires. You cannot "embrace" anyone. I'm not sure to what percent it is that it gets passed from parent to child, i.e. I'm not sure if 100% of children of a porphyritic (making up a word here) parent gets it or if 50% of them do, or if it passes more readily into one sex or another or if grandchildren are more likely to get it than children (as is sometimes the case with hereditary diabetes). The only sure thing is you can't get it through blood or bodily fluid transfer. Sorry if that ruins your evening plans of a little... necking.
Porphyrins (hence the lack of them gives you the name of the disease), combined with iron form hemes in the blood. Heme is what makes blood red. If you don't have the right porphyrin content, you don't have the right heme contents, and then things start to go bad. Prophyria imbalance can cause the following:
gastrological problems (stomach cramping, nausea)
neurological and psychological disorders (you get crazy)
photosensitivity (intolerance to sun or bright lights)
pigmentation of the face (skin changes color, usually getting lighter, losing color)
anemia (blood deficiency) with enlargement of the spleen (an organ acting as a reservoir for blood)
and excessive amounts of porphyrins are excreted in the stool and urine, giving it a dark red, bloodish color.
If you look at all the symptoms of porphyria, you can begin to see how it could start looking like what we know as a vampire. Mentally unstable people, perhaps snarling, flashing their teeth. Perhaps biting others. Some people report that porphyria is helped by giving blood, IV. Back before such things, you might find people suffering of the disease drinking blood to help them feel better.
They are photosensitive, their skin, in extreme cases, prone to blistering and burning in the sunlight, so they would have a preference to avoid it. Discoloration of the skin or loss of pigmentation, coupled with a low amount of blood, would give suffers a very pale appearance indeed. But before you say "Aha!" and pronounce this as the truth behind the vampire scares, be advised, this is a very rare disease. There are several classifications of it as well, not all of them having all of the symptoms. Those symptoms closest to being "vampire related" appear only in a handful of cases. As of 1991, there were only 60 reported cases of the form of porphyria, CEP that has symptoms most commonly linked with vampirism.
Well that good to know because I will have to take care of sev but there is nothing on a hybrid on those two things at all so I'll have to ask. Everyone is staring at me I wave I hand at paddy and ask '' does he know'' I ask and he shakes his head I look a the head master and say ''you tell him'' he nods and leans over to tell sev and as he explains the little color sev has drains form his face and that look at him the me and back again
''what'' he shouts then he stands and says the same thing again the passes out.
Okay I am sorry I am late updating but my computer suck and I very slow so
I will update again soon as well as my other stories
