Darkness Always Conquers

Chapter Ten

Grimmauld Place, August 3, 1996.

"What did you named him?" Harry asks Hermione the next morning sitting beside her and the little cat in the back yard. It was about eight in the morning and the sun was shining up in the sky. There were gorgeous trees and plantations all around the place.

"I named him Onyx because of his fur color" She answers him.

"Cool, I like it" He said.

"And what you name yours?" She asks him.

"I didn't name her; she already came with a name. Her father named her Shadow because of her skin color" Harry said to her. Shadow had told him when he had awakened that morning that she was going to hunt in the woods. She then said that she would come much later in the morning. He had let her go.

"Wow, I like it. It evens suites her" She said petting her cat.

"It does" Harry affirms as well.

Later that morning he went to his room to read and found his snake Shadow slithering around his bed. "Did your hunt went well?" He asked her while moving towards his trunk.

"Yes, speaker it did went well, I catch three delicious rodents" Shadow said hissing. Harry moved to open his trunk, when he did he retrieve his new books the ones that he had bought yesterday at Flourish and blots.

"That is good, but Shadow please don't call me speaker, my name is Harry" He said with books in hand sitting himself in the bed.

"Of course Harry" Shadow said.

He stayed reading his books till three in the afternoon; he had already finished two books. That is when he heard a knock on the door. "Hide" he said to his snake.

"Enter" Harry said then, but before he did the door was already opening. It was a good thing that Shadow act so quickly, because if she hadn't she would have been seen by Ron.

"Come Harry, Mione is going to show us how to play a muggle game call Monopoly" Ron said to while walking inside of the room.

"I will go in a minute let me put my books in my trunk" Harry said.

"Okay, I will tell Hermione that you are coming" He said to him while walking out of the room leaving the door open. When Ron was out of the room he put his books inside his trunk.

"I will talk to you later Shadow" Said to his snake while walking out of the room and closing the door. He walked down the stairs and into the living room where Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, Ginny, Ron Luna, Neville and Hermione were sitting around a brown table that hadn't been there in the morning. Harry walked towards them and sat in the only chair left. On the middle of the table there stood a white rectangular box with the word Monopoly imprint in it.

"Okay, now that we are all here let me explain the rules and such. But first know that since only eight persons can play I will not play and someone else as to stay and watch as well. So who is it going to be?" Hermione asked in her sit in front of Harry.

"I know how the game works, I won't play, and I will help you out Mione." Harry said to her.

"Okay, Harry and thanks" she said to him. Then she explains the rules of the game which were not so complicate. They play the game and two hour later surprisingly Neville wins the game. They were putting away the game when two owls' one light brown and the other black entered the room. The light brown own was carrying a small package and the black was carrying a small box with a letter attach to it. Both owls' stopped in front of Harry. He took both things from the owls' and then gave them a treat that Mrs. Weasley had searched for in the kitchen. The package and box weren't heavy 'They must have put a light weight spell in it' Harry thought.

When the two owls' finish their treats, they flew out of the house.

"Harry open them" Said Ron looking at the package and box. Harry did so, opening the brown package first. Inside of it there were the cloths he had order. He took them out and revises them.

"Wow" Ron said looking at the clothes in Harry's hands.

"They are lovely, you will look fabulous in those" Hermione said pointing at a black shirt and an ancromantula silk pant.

"I guess they will, uh I am going to my room, I'm quite exhausted. I will see you guys at diner" Harry said looking at his friends and around the living room.

"Okay and I will get you when diner is ready" Said Hermione while he took his clothes putting them in the box and taking the small box which he had put on the table. With them in hand he walked up the stairs and into his bedroom.

There in his room he took his new clothes and pus hem in his trunk. Then he turns towards the other thing that was sent to him, he knew it was sent from his sired he could smell his scent from it. He opens the box to find a bottle of wine. He didn't know why his sire had send him wine to him, he then notice a letter attached to the box, so he take it and opens it. Then he reads.

Dear, Harry

I have sent you this as a present; I want you to drink the wine. It is no ordinary wine; it is mix between wine and blood. I will be sending you this for some time and beware that if the humans see you drinking this, be precautious they may fine what you are if they are observant. If you want to know where to get some wine you can go to knockturn alley or to the vampire capital, but know that it will you will have to pay some money for it. Be safe my child and if you need me know that I will always be there for you.

With love your father, Stephen Bathory, Vampire King.

P. S. The bottle will fill its self for month. So don't worry about it getting finish in a day.

Harry read, he was quite happy that his sire had been so thoughtful to send him the wine. He wasn't hungry at the moment so he puts the bottle of wine on top of his trunk and decides to take out his books. He reads the books for two hours when he finishes; he was quite hungry so he decides on taking a taste of the wine. He walks over to his trunk and takes the bottle from a top of it. He opens the bottle and takes a swing without noticing that his bedroom door was opening. The wine taste delicious, it was incredible he could taste the blood and he could sense it was fresh, some of its contents ran through his face and his fangs lengthen as did his hair. He looked like the angel of death. Then he hears a gasp so he turns around to find Hermione standing behind his bedroom close door.

"H- Harry, what are you drinking?" Hermione asks some of her fear showing through her voice. Harry removes the bottle from his lips and ran his tongue through them, cleaning them of blood and wine. Then he wipes his chin with the back of his hand.

"Hermione, I was just drinking some wine you don't have to be afraid" He said put the bottle on his trunk and moving towards her without noticing that his fangs were showing.

"I assure you Harry, that doesn't look like wine to me" She said taking a frightening backward step, looking at him.

"Please, Her-"He was interrupt.

"Don't please Hermione me, what happened to you Harry? What are you?" She asked unable to move any longer, her back was press to the wall.

"Nothing happened to me, I was just drinking so wine. What is wrong with it?" He asked fearing that she could find his secret. He was standing in front of her.

"Harry that doesn't look like wine to me" She said looking at him and trembling a little.

"Then what does it look like to you?" He asked her.

"It looks like b- blood" She said. "Harry, are you a vampire?" She asks looking at his mouth.

"What, what makes you think so?" He asks her. Hermione just points her finger towards his mouth. "What do I have something on my lips?" He asks while touching his lips and fangs. 'Oh, shit I'm so screw now she knows that I am a vampire' He thinks while running a hand through his hair.

"Oh shit" He said out loud looking at Hermione. "Yes, I'm a vampire and I regret that you had to find so this way" He said to her, and then he explains to her how he was turn and so.

"So when Voldemort was killed by you, a vampire came into your house and tried to kill you. But another vampire name Stephen Bathory the vampire king kill him and save you from dead by turning you in to a vampire. Then just on your sixteen birthday he came to you and awaken you to your true vampire self and then he taught you how to hunt. Oh and he sent you the blood wine, is that all?" Hermione asks him tears running through her face. He just nodded to her question. "Harry, I'm so sorry, I will have never thought something like this could have happen to you" She said hugging him.

"You don't have to be sorry Hermione, I'm okay. I feel great and my connection to Voldemort is no longer there" He said hugging her back.

"But Harry you need to drink blood, doesn't that makes you uncomfortable? Aren't you in bloodlust always?" She asks him stepping back from his hug.

"No drinking blood to me as a vampire is the most pleasurable thing next to sex and no I am not in bloodlust all the time unless I hadn't drink blood for sometime" He answered her noticing how Hermione's cheeks takes a pinkish color. "Uh, blushing makes you look even more beautiful" He said to her making her blush even more.

"T-thank you, Harry. You look beautiful yourself" she said stuttering a little. "If you need anything I will be here for you and I will not tell and I will not tell anyone about your condition" She said sitting on his bed.

"Thanks to you Hermione and I will appreciate if you didn't tell anyone" He said to her sitting beside her on the bed. He then look at her brown hair, white face, brown eyes and pale pink lips and gave her a passionate kiss. Hermione gasped in surprised against his lips, opening her mouth letting him entrance. He presses his tongue inside her warm mouth exploring every inch of her. Then they part since Hermione needed air to breath.

"Will you be my girlfriend, Hermione Jane Granger?" Harry asks her looking at her in the eyes. He had always had this feeling for her and now as a vampire they have increment.

"I will be so ever happy to be your girlfriend, so I accept" She answers him giving him a passionate kiss on the lips. They stayed there kissing for quite some time.
