I haven't written this story in a little while so I'm sorry. I'll try to update more often but I make no promises with swimming and school starting soon. Most days I'm out of the house early for 5:30 am practice and I get home after practice from 3: oo pm to 5:30 pm. I'm exhausted most of the time so sorry. My stories will be put on the back burner. Enjoy!

Chapter 10

Danielle's POV

After my freak out session in the woods Harry didn't run away. I was shocked by that. Usually whenever anyone saw us emotional their instincts told them to run away but Harry's didn't. He wasn't scared at all, he was just worried about me. Somehow we ended up with me leaning against a tree with Harry's head on my lap. I was playing with his hair. At first glance it looked flat black but the more I looked at it the more I saw that it was a million different shades of black combined. It was gorgeous.

"How does someone become a vampire?" He asked. I wasn't expecting him to say anything so I gave him a questioning look. "I was just wondering how you got to be this way. What was your life like before you became a vampire? Why are you in Slytherin if you are so good?"

I sighed. I didn't like talking about my past but he should know. "I was born thousands of years ago. I don't know the exact time because dates weren't that well kept back then. My name was Danielle Mundego and I was the only heir of the Mundego family. We were one of the richest families in the world, wizarding or muggle. My grandfather was Salazar Slytherin. I loved him more than anything else. My parents were together through an arranged marriage and they hated each other. The only reason they remained married was for the money. They each had separate wings of the house after I was born. They had an heir so they didn't need anything else."

"My grandfather on the other hand, he loved me like I was his world. I would spend most of my time at his house because whenever he was there he would play with me. Every time he would go away he would bring back a huge sack of candy or an amazing toy for me. Everyone saw him as a proud and dark figure but I will forever remember him as the man that would sit down and play tea party with me. He would sit me on his lap and braid my hair while telling me all about Hogwarts. When I got old enough he took me here himself. He introduced me to everyone and he helped train me. The other founders loved me as though I was there niece. I called them all aunt or uncle." I sighed again. Now was the bad part.

"Hogwarts was the perfect time but it had to end. You only had five years until you became a legal adult. As time went on it became seven but I had graduated, gotten a job, and I was looking for a husband by the time I was seventeen. That was when I met Isvoric. He seemed perfect for me. We courted for about a year when he took me away with him. He proposed and I accepted. That was when he turned me. To turn a person you have to bite them that injects the venom into their body. It's hard because tasting blood starts a feeding frenzy and it's hard to stop. You're in pain for three days and it makes you wish you were dead it hurts that much." Harry sat up then. He was just looking at me with no judgment in his eyes. I was dreading when that look would change.

"After I was changed Isvoric showed his true self. He was older than me but when I was a newborn I was stronger. He taught me control and for food he had me lure humans into our cave. We would drink them but instead of just burying the bodies he would have fun with them. He would defile them in unspeakable ways and mangled them until they were unrecognizable. He did things I will never speak of. Seeing him do these things made me realize that I didn't love him, I just loved the idea of him. I tried to escape but he wouldn't let me. Finally I destroyed him. We were sleeping together and I bit his head off when he didn't notice." I smiled at that. "That set me free. I could leave and travel the world like I wanted to. Eventually I got lonely and lived with a huge coven in the sewers of London. Carlisle found us there and he was trying to kill us. I was starving and running away when I turned around to drink from them. I ended up biting him."

"He remained silent for three days while he changed. It's amazing that he could, I screamed the entire time. He didn't want to feed off humans so he went into the forest to kill himself. He was starving himself and I felt terrible for changing him so I was going to step in and offer my help. A herd of deer ran through the clearing just then and Carlisle attacked them. He could feed off animals to remain strong enough to resist humans. He noticed me and we traveled together for a while. After that I left him. He wanted to settle down in one place but I love traveling. I don't know why but I do. I never could stay in one place for long."

"I found Jasper later on and we returned to Carlisle. He had turned the others by then so he could have a family. We've all been together ever since. We keep each other strong and on track. Carlisle is barely affected by human blood. I have pretty good control but since I fed off humans before I met Carlisle I still get tempted. I haven't ever slipped up since I started drinking animals though." I was very proud of that fact. Yes there were a few close calls but I never drank from a human. I committed to this lifestyle and I would stick with it.

"Wow." He said with wide eyes. Then he smiled. "I'm dating an older woman. That's awesome." I had to laugh at that. I knew he was just trying to cheer me up and he wasn't insulting me.

"Watch who you're calling old." I said pointing a finger at him. We just sat there for a few minutes smiling. That was when the sun came out.

Harry just reached out and took my hand. He was playing with my fingers trying to figure out why I sparkled. "It's gorgeous. You look like one huge diamond."

"I told you my story. What about you?" I wanted to know where he came from. How he lived. Harry didn't have to say anything though his thoughts gave it away. "The Dursley's are horrible people and you deserve so much better." He just smiled, thankful that he didn't have to talk about it.

We stayed outside until the sun started to go down. Harry started walking back but I grabbed his arm. "Can we do this my way?" I said with a smile. I always wanted to try running with a passenger.

"What do you mean?" He asked. I just picked him up bridal style.

"Just hold on and close your eyes. This might make you a little nauseous or dizzy." I said.

"What?" Harry asked before I started running. I ran until we got to the outskirts of the forest. After that I put Harry down and he was white as a ghost.

"Not my best idea, huh?" I said. Harry could only nod and I had to laugh. I made the boy who lived, the person who fought Voldemort without flinching, Stunned. It was an enjoyable feeling. "Are you ok?"

"Let my organs settle back in their original positions." I had to laugh at that. He always cracked jokes. "That was the fastest I've ever gone in my entire life." He said excitedly. I had to laugh at that.

"If you want I'll run with you whenever you want." I liked seeing him so happy and I loved to run so it was a perfect agreement.

"That would be awesome." He said, making us both laugh. "Come on, we should get back to the castle." Together we walked back to the castle where dinner was being served.

The rest of the night was uneventful. The next morning however was an entirely different story.

We all went downstairs and sat down as usual but everyone was quiet. Hermione and everyone else other than Harry and Luna got up and walked away. All of their thoughts were confusing me and they were all super loud. I ignored them but it was hard. We were just sitting there when Luna handed us the daily prophet. The headline popped out at us.

Vampires at Hogwarts?

Oh, shit.

Long chapter. I have the idea for a Chronicles of Narnia story so I really want to finish this one so I can work on it. Please review!
