The Truth

Chapter Six: Katia's Mate


The bell had rung, declaring that Breakfast was over and that classes where to begin; Selena had Charms, Ginny had Transfiguration and while Ron, Hermione, Harry, Draco, Raven, Katia and Aphrodite all had Magical Creatures. As the seven walked to Hagrid's hut, it was extremely quiet until they arrived. At the hut talking to Hagrid was one of Ron's brothers, Charlie. "What is your brother doing here, Ron?" Hermione asked her boyfriend who just shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey Charlie, what are you doing at Hogwarts?" Harry asked. Charlie turned around and faced the others.

"The Headmistress sent me a letter saying she wanted to talk to me about something." Charlie smiled then raised an eyebrow when he saw the three girls and Malfoy. His eyes widened a bit when one of the girls dropped to their knees and seemed to be having a hard time breathing. "Is she okay?" Charlie asked as the other two girls and Draco helped her out.

"Katia, what's wrong, love?" Raven asked as she held onto the girl. Katia looked at Raven and let out a slight whimper as she had her lips pressed tightly together. "Katia, I can't help if you don't tell me what is going on." Katia seemed to cry a little bit before she opened her mouth to show Raven that her fangs where out which confused Raven. Their fangs only came out when they were hungry and the Headmistress had made sure that the Dhampir Teens had a good amount of blood for breakfast as safety percussion that neither would attack a student. "I don't understand. Your fangs shouldn't be out you just ate." Raven then saw that Katia was starting to cry. "Katia, are your fangs hurting you?" Katia nodded her head. "Damn, why on earth is this happening? I don't understand it damn it. Draconius, do have any idea?" Raven said looking up at Draco as she held Katia in her arms.

"No. Hermione, maybe you know. You're an intelligent witch." Draco said looking at Hermione with concern written all over his face.

"Whoa, she's a vampire?" Charlie said with shocked eyes. Raven shook her head.

"No, she's only part vampire. I don't have a clue what the problem is though. Her fangs shouldn't be out; we just ate for goodness sakes. Our fangs don't come out unless we are hungry." Raven said as Katia's whimpering became louder.

"You are wrong. They come out on three different occasions. The first one is when you are hungry, which we have already concluded that is not the case. Since it is not that and it can't be the third one, it has to be the second one." Hermione said.

"Oh, and what would that be Hermione?" Raven asked as she rubbed Katia's back to try and comfort the girl.

"Katia has caught scent of her mate. A vampire or Dhampir never has Vampire mate they may have a Dhampir Mate, but never an actually full blooded vampire because their mating procedure involves the Dhampir or Vampire biting their mate and drinking their blood, which makes them live longer, but not technically immortal. Therefore, Katia's mate is nearby." Hermione said then looking at Charlie. It was once again silent.

"Wait; don't tell me you are thinking that I am her mate?" Charlie said in slight shock. Hermione just smiled at him. Charlie let out a breath before biting at his lip. "Okay, if I am her mate then what am I supposed to do? At the moment she looks like she is about to faint any moment now." He said as he walked closer to Katia and got down on his knees to look at Katia. When she looked up to look at him her eyes where a dark gold, usually they were much lighter.

"That I don't know."Hermione said as she, Hary, Ron, Draco, Aphrodite, Neville and Raven all stared at the two. Katia looked at Charlie before she got closer to him and ended up hugging him.

"Are you telling me that you would be okay with belonging to a total stranger that you don't even know anything about?" Katia whispered into Charlie's ear. "Because I think that Hermione might be right, I can smell your blood pumping through your veins and it smells absoloutly delicious, but I would never bite someone without their permission." Charlie gulped as he felt Katia's breath against his ear.

"Yes, I'd be okay. I actually know a lot about Vampires, Just not as much as I do about Dragons though, but I still know a lot about them. You have my permission to bite me, Katia." Charlie said as Katia buried her nose into Charlie's neck, the two had completely forgotten that the others where still there.

"I want to tell you one thing first and it might possibly change your mind about me biting you, but you need to know." Katia said as she rubbed her nose against Charlie's neck.

"And what is it that I need to know, Katia?" Charlie said as his heart was beating faster than it was before.

"My name is Katia Riddle, and I'm Voldemort's daughter. Will you still alow me to bite you now, Charlie?" Katia said as her fangs where becoming more painful by the second. Charlie didn't say anything for awhile and because of this Katia began to back away until Charlie grabbed her arm pulling her back towards him.

"It doesn't matter who your parents are, Katia. All that matters is that you are a good person and I can tell you are. After all if you weren't you wouldn't of told me that. You still have my permission to bite me, Katia." Katia smiled at what Charlie said.

"Thank you, Charlie. I love you."

"And I kno.." Charlie was interrupted when Katia bit into his neck. It was painful to say the least, but he was able to endure it. When she had finished, she licked his neck clean of the blood and Charlie was a little dizzy. "…know that I will eventually love you too, Katia." Charlie said as he smiled at Katia who ended up kissing him on the lips.
