Harry had hoped that the feeling of being watched would abate after his conversation with the Cullens. No such luck. Granted, the feeling only persisted out of school now and was most likely caused by the Wolves.

Walking home after a long stroll around town Harry paused as the wind shifted. The acrid sent of a vampire wafted through his nose. Closing his eyes and breathing deeply Harry concluded that it wasn't one of the Cullens. Beyond that they, whoever they were, reeked of human fear, blood and death. Scowling Harry apparated the last two miles to his house in time to see a lone vampire exiting. The bang of apparation had caused the vampire to startle. Harry used those precious seconds of confusion to attack, grabbing the intruder by the arm and tossing him several feet away into a nearby tree. Hissing in displeasure the bloke quickly stood and turned in an attempt to flee. Roaring, Harry surged forward and slammed him through the tree and halfway through the one behind it. Punching his hand into the vampires chest Harry clawed his heart out. With the vampires expression frozen in terror Harry smiled, sinking his fangs in the heart draining it dry.
Mouth dripping blood Harry twisted around hearing the snap of a nearby twig. There stood a light grey wolf of monstrous size. As he watched the wolf turned tail and lopped away.
Watching as the creature gradually disappeared Harry shook his head to clear his thoughts. Looking down at the carcass at his feet he frowned.
Dragging it around the back of his house Harry left it for a moment to grab a gallon of gasoline and a lighter to set the corpse ablaze.

Twenty minutes later Harry was back inside making a floo call to the Weasley twins. Tossing in a hand full of glittering powder he called out the latest residence of the twins.
"Harry-," one freckled face answered.
"-didn't expect to hear from you so-," another replied.
"-soon. Run out of-"
"-our soon to be famous blood pops?"
After all this time Harry was still barely able to make heads or tails of their speech but said, "No, thanks. There have been attacks. Vampire attacks in the nearby city. One came to my place today".
"You alright there Harry?"
"Fine, I killed him. But if this continues it'll start attracting unwanted attention".
"Don't worry-"
"-we'll tell you if the ministry starts getting curious."
"Dad still has some friends there".
Harry gratefully said thanks and gave his goodbyes, promising to call again soon.
