Chapter 10

A.N.- Draco has now heard of Jasper's past as a human Confederate Major in the army and after becoming a vampire to join Maria and live with Peter and Charlotte and meeting Alice and then Carlisle and his family. Now, it is Draco's turn. I hope you all like my ideal version of Draco's past. Here's how I thought Draco's past went from his birth to meeting Jasper.

T_HP_T_HP_T_HP_T_HP_T_HP_T_HP_HP_T

The next night, as Draco and Jasper were getting ready for bed, a house elf suddenly appeared out of nowhere with a letter addressed to Jasper.

"Mr. Hale sir, the Headmaster sent Topsy here to gives you this letter sir."

Grasping the letter out of the house elf's trembling hands, Jasper then thanked the trembling odd creature and opened up his letter to read it and find out what the Headmaster wanted.

Reading it out loud to Draco, Jasper could hardly believe his ears and eyes as the contents of the letter flew out of his mouth.

'Dear Mr. Hale,

I request an immediate audience with both you and Mr. Malfoy in my office. Certain information about your recent exploits has reached my ears and it is my duty to inform you of the consequences of your actions. I'll be expecting you two to arrive within the next fifteen minutes.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

P.S. I do so enjoy Lemon Crumpets. You should try one some time.

Setting down the letter, Jasper quickly redressed into better appropriate clothing to meet the Headmaster in rapidly and patiently waited as Draco undressed himself out of his night wear and did the same. Ten minutes quickly passed and Jasper then informed Draco that he would take them to Albus' office his way.

"What are you talking about? What way?"

"Just get on my back. I'll run us there so that we aren't late."

"Oh, alright. Just don't bump into anything on the way."

"Don't worry darlin' I won't."

As Jasper hoisted Draco up on his back in a piggy-back ride style, he suddenly took off from their room, outside the Common Room and down the maze of hallways to reach the Headmaster's office in a flash with three minutes to spare.

Calling out the password 'Lemon Crumpets', Jasper then followed behind Draco up the winding staircase and knocked onto the heavy wooden door that served as the entrance to the office.

After confirmation that they should enter, Draco and Jasper were abruptly taken back by the appearance of their teachers, Jasper's siblings, Harry and his two friends, as well as a woman that looked a bit like Draco.

Draco hesitantly stepped forward towards the blonde haired woman and cautiously stuttered out as if he could hardly believe what was infront of his eyes.

"M…Mother?"

"Yes Draco, I am here. Severus helped me to escape from the Manor but only for a little bit. If I am gone too long, the others will notice and inform the Dark Lord immediately."

"I…I see. But, why are you here?"

"Your Headmaster informed me about the appearance of these special vampires and that one of them was greatly interested in you. I see now that what he spoke about was the truth. Tell me vampire, what is your name and what interest do you hold for my son?"

"My name Jasper Whitlock ma'am and your son, Draco, is my true vampire mate."

"*gasp* did you just say that he's your true vampire mate?"

"Yes ma'am. I did. Draco is my true vampire mate. They only come about once every hundred years or so and are quite rare to find. I knew instantly from the moment I met him that he was indeed my true vampire mate."

"And when were you planning on changing my son?"

"Not until at least half a year ma'am. I can hold off my urge to do so that long."

"I see. Tell me Draco, is this true? Is what this vampire speaks of the truth? Will you allow him to change you within half the year?"

"Yes mother, I will. Only after he changes you and father and Severus first. That is my condition to him to accepting his proposal to mate with him eternally."

"You…you wish for us…to become vampires with you?"

"Yes mother. I couldn't live a day, even if was as a vampire without you or father or uncle Severus there by my side. Jasper and his family I'm sure could only do so much on their own, but it would be you and father and Severus that would truly keep my mind from leaving me for the long years that I'd have to get used to as a vampire."

"I see…"

"Mother?"

"Mr. Whitlock was it?"

"Yes ma'am."

"I thought that your last name was Hale?"

"It's my adoptive name ma'am. My real name is Jasper Whitlock. I just took the name Hale from my sister Rosalie to keep up appearances as her twin back home."

"Hmmm…very admirable and yet, cunning of you."

"Thank you ma'am."

Ending her conversation with the vampire that was so greatly interested in her son, Narcissa Malfoy then turned towards the Headmaster and told him sternly before leaving to join Severus' side.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I want you to know right now, that if any harm were to befall my son before I got to see him again, it would be you that I would personally hold responsible. As for this vampire and his family, I see no reason that the Ministry or the Dark Lord should know of this. Only because if they knew of their existence, they would do anything and everything to capture them and use them as tools for the war, even if it meant throwing them onto the students here at Hogwarts. As for my son's condition to becoming a vampire, I shall think it over carefully and talk about it with Severus and Draco's father whenever I can, but other than that; I want you to continue doing what you have been doing so far until you can no longer do it. Understand?"

"I completely understand Mrs. Malfoy."

"Good. Draco, I will see you soon. Be good and don't get into any trouble."

"I will mother. I'll see you soon."

Watching his mother grasp a port key and then vanish out of thin air, Draco heaved out a heavy sigh of relief that she was alright and didn't seem to be hurt at all. Turning his attention back to the others in the room, Draco then asked the Headmaster why they were all there.

"The reason why I called for them to be here Draco is because your most recent activities with Mr. Hale are indeed some thing to be alarmed and greatly cautioned upon from continuing."

"Recent activities? And what recent activities would you happen to be referring to Headmaster?"

"Your sexual relationship with Mr. Hale, of course."

Silence rang out within the office before Severus abruptly shouted out loud in shock and anger upon hearing Albus' response.

"WHAT?"

"Yes Severus, it seems that Mr. Hale and Mr. Malfoy have had recent sexual activities in the past day or so."

"What? Draco! Is this true? Did you sleep with this vampire? Did he use some kind of spell to force you into this?"

"No! No he didn't! We didn't do anything like that! I never slept with him! I…he only just…"

"What Draco? What did he do?"

"He…he just gave me a bloody blow job okay?"

"…*chokes on swallowing spit* Blow…job?"

"Yes Uncle, just a blow job. We don't trust each other enough to go all the way without Jasper losing control of himself and bleeding me out dry or changing me. Since I don't want to become a vampire just yet, we agreed to not go all the way. We'll only just…you know…have some fun. But that's it! Nothing else."

"…I see…well…that's good…then."

"So…there's nothing to be afraid about right?"

"*sighs* I suppose not Draco. Just…be careful."

"Don't worry uncle, I will. We both will, won't we Jasper?"

"Yes. I wouldn't dream of losing control with myself like that ever again especially not with my mate. You have my word sir, that I'll be more than extra careful when it comes to my mate."

"Very well then, I guess that's the best that I can ask from you isn't it?"

Sensing the tension beginning to fall in the atmosphere, Jasper then turned towards his family and apologized to them for worrying them over a small matter as that.

"It's alright Jasper. As long as you don't lost control of yourself, I guess it's alright to…do stuff with your mate. Just don't send out your feelings to us when your doing it. It's…rather overwhelming."

"Sorry. I'll try to keep it down."

Taking in the silence that soon rang out within the enlarged office, Albus leisurely stood up from his chair behind his desk and informed everyone that they should return back to their common rooms to get some rest, except for the Cullen's of whom he still wanted to have a little chat with.

Leaving the office and getting ready to walk down the hallway towards his common room, Draco instantly halted his footsteps upon hearing Ron Weasley call out to him in a tone of voice that didn't seem right with the boy.

"So Malfoy, how does it feel to be the bitch in a relationship to a vampire? I always thought that deep down you really were a whiny little bottom, I just never knew how true that thought actually was until now. Tell me Malfoy, did he make you scream? Beg like the little whore you know you are?"

"Ron! What has gotten into you?"

"It's nothing Hermione, just giving back what he deserves for taunting and insulting us and trying to get Harry into trouble all the time."

"Well, that still doesn't make what you are doing or saying right. Don't bow down to his level Ron, you're better than that."

"I know that I am better than him Hermione. I've got you and Harry and he's got nobody but Snape, his Death Eater parents, and that…monster."

The moment Draco heard Ron call Jasper a monster he flicked out his wand and cast an unvoiced spell that he had taught himself to use early on that summer before their sixth year.

The bright yellow and silver beam of light shot out from his wand and missed Weasley's head just by an inch or two. Huffing and flushing with anger glowing brightly in his eyes, Draco stalked forwards towards Ron Weasley and threateningly held him at wand point, to which Harry and Hermione abruptly did the same to Draco.

"How dare you call him a monster! Jasper isn't a monster. He hasn't killed anyone ever since he and his family came here to watch over you bastards. He would never break his word to his father to drink human blood. As far as I'm concerned Weasley, the only monster around here other than Voldemort, is you."

"I am not a monster Malfoy! He is! He is a disgusting, blood sucking, leech that deserves to be burned to ashes for being what he is! You think he's not a monster all because he hasn't drunken human blood yet, watch. Watch and learn Malfoy, he really is a monster. You just haven't seen that side of him yet."

"I don't care if he has the worst temper in the world, Jasper isn't a monster. Not now or ever. Got it?"

"Say that to me when he's draining away your very life!"

"I won't need to because that'll be the happiest day of my life."

"You're just as crazy as he is. You actually want to become a monster like him? You want to drink blood and kill people? Ha! I knew it! I knew deep down that you really were evil! But nobody ever listens to me. You actually want to become a vampire and kill people Malfoy? Well don't worry; you'll get your chance as soon as that monster sucks away your life. I hope you enjoy every minute of it you filthy git!"

"Like I'll need you to tell me what to feel when that day comes Weasley."

"On that day, no one will. All because they'll finally see the truth that I've been trying to get into their heads for the past seven years about you."

"And what truth is that Weasley?"

"That your nothing but a filthy, begging, little Death Eater slut that would sooner open his legs for that monster just like you are no doubt doing right now for your precious Dark Master."

Before Draco could retort anything right back at Weasley, a loud snarling, growling, and seriously pissed off Jasper Hale immediately showed up in-between Draco and Ron and grasped the latter tightly by the front of his shirt and hauled him off of his feet to throw him against the nearby stone wall to hit and fall to the floor with a sickening crunch. Obviously having broken or shattered a bone or so.

Speaking once more in his Major Whitlock persona, Jasper made it definitely clear to Harry, Hermione, but more importantly, to Ron Weasley that this time was their last warning and that he wasn't fucking around anymore.

"Mr. Weasley, Mr. Potter, and Mr. Granger, if I ever hear any of you say anything like that to my mate again, promise or no promise, I will make you regret the day you ever met me. Draco has not ever been nor will he ever be a Death Eater slut. If I so much as hear you or anyone else speak those disgusting words to him, you'll find yourselves far from your precious Headmaster's reach of protection and well into my area of expertise. A vampire hunting down his prey…to put an end to their pathetic retched life. Speak like that to Draco ever again, and you just may become my next meal. Do you understand?"

The Golden Trio, as they were often called, silently nodded their heads fearfully at Jasper before carefully heaving their near broken friend on their shoulders to take him to the infirmary wing leaving Jasper alone with Draco in the hallway.

Glancing over at his flushed shocked and somewhat grateful mate, Jasper slowly walked over to Draco and tucked a stray strand of hair from his face behind his ear before caressing his cheek tenderly with the pad of his thumb. Gazing down into his eyes, Jasper was about to ask Draco if he was alright when Draco suddenly interrupted him.

"Why did you say that?"

"I said it darlin' because it's the truth."

"You don't know anything about me! What they said could've been the truth all along and you wouldn't have known it until now."

"Well then, is it the truth Draco?"

"…"

"Are you really a Death Eater slut that gives himself away to this Dark Lord and his men?"

"…No."

"See. I wasn't wrong in saying what I felt I had to say to hopefully get through their thick heads for the final time. Or else, one of them will wind up dead, as my next meal."

"Like you would do that."

"I would Draco and will. I made a promise and I intend to keep it. If they or anyone else ever says something as degrading as that to you, they will become my next meal, whether the family approves of my decision for it or not. They will understand that you are mine and that I always protect what is mine even if it had to be against what my own family or yours respected."

"…Jasper."

"Yes darlin?"

"I—I want to tell you about my past now. Can you take us back to our room? Please?"

"Sure darlin."

Walking over to Draco and hoisting him up into his arms bridal style, Jasper then used his vampire speed to flash through the hallways, into their common room, and up towards their shared dormitory with each other where he then carefully set down Draco on top of the edge of his bed.

Changing back into their nightwear, Jasper and Draco made themselves comfortable for the night in Draco's enlarged king sized bed that his mother had sent over to replace his one sized twin bed, before Draco shakily took a deep breath and started for tell his own tale about his life to his dangerous lover.

"My life wasn't at all as bad as people seem to think it was. My parents were brilliant in raising me. I had tutors and nannies when my parents were too busy to pay attention to me, but that rarely happened. The Dark Lord was dead and my father seemed to be home all the time, my mother too. They both would often take their turns in bathing me or reading me a bedtime story about dragons or Potter's defeat of Voldemort or something like that. When I was about eight or nine, my father announced that he was going to be my tutor from now on until I got my Hogwarts letter. Father was tough, but fair. He would often correct my mistakes and then praise me when I got them right either on my first or second try. Mother taught me how to ballroom dance and read people by their body language or the tone in their voices or by their facial expressions. If nothing like that was present, then by the emotions in their eyes or their magical aura's.

My parents made sure that I was ready and well prepared for Hogwarts by the time my letter arrived. Getting my school supplies at Diagon Alley for the first time, I met a young boy with jet black hair and green eyes getting fitted for his uniform. I was very nervous and didn't know how to directly talk with the boy. So, I just began telling him all about how I was going to try out for the Quidditch team and about what house I wanted to be in and that my father was going to buy me a one of a kind broom if I did well in school. When I was finished and later got everything that I needed and boarded the train, I later found out that the same boy that I had met earlier in the robe shop was Harry Potter. I had hoped that he would want to be my friend, but he already became friends with Weasley. My family and his have been enemies for generations. There was no tying the knot and letting it go. Not with either of us. Too much pride I think. Anyway, I offered my friendship to Potter, but he turned me down. As the years went by, I began to grow to hate Potter and become jealous for the friends and family that he's come to receive since he stomped on my friendship offer. He only refused because after I introduced myself to him, Weasley laughed at my name and then I felt like there was no other choice but to insult him right back for insulting the name that my mother gave to me."

"Since then you've become enemies and haven't buried the hatchet?"

"Nope. It stayed that way for the next five years and most likely will even after this whole war is over."

Pulling Draco closer to himself and wrapping an arm around his thin waist, Jasper shifted a little on his pillows before sighing contently and just resting on the bed to keep a vigilant watch over the room for any secret intruders as well as for further protection for his sleeping vulnerable mate.

A.N.- Chapter 10 is now complete. So, what do you think about Draco's past as well as Jasper's reaction to Ron's insinuations? I apologize if Ron isn't anything like that, but I needed him to be the enemy for a little bit. At least, for Jasper to come right out and say what he's really wanted to say to him all along. Well, I hope you all send me some good reviews I'd love to hear from ya. By the way, Ron and Hermione will begin to get a little trouble in their own paradise. Who should I pair Hermione up with? Severus perhaps? Although he's old enough to be her father, he does tend to see her true wit and intelligence as well as see her potential to be something great far better than Ron anyways. So, should I? Please let me know. Also, should I put in an Mpreg Draco? Have Draco become pregnant with Jasper's baby through a spell or a potion? Just a thought roaming around inside my crazy, dark, and yaoi filled mind.
