Hermione had taken Remus and harry was forced to take Tonks, just to be sure they didn't detour to Alaska, to Diagon Alley where they would do their shopping. The witches dragged the males to Madame Malkin's for their formal robes, only the robe for Hermione took 3 times as long to find than it took to find one that matched it for Harry. Finally, they were done but the men had forgotten about accessories and were taken by the ear to Madame Malkin's sister's shop for shoes, purses and hair pieces.

"Please Hermione I don't CARE which one you chose I just need a break," Was what earned Harry a black eye, or would have had he not been unable to have one.

"You just sit down and agree with what I say Mister Potter!" Hermione yelled out loudly as she looked over different high heel shoes.

"Wait! I want to buy you a present, will you let me out to do that?" Harry figured he had the Galleons so he should at least use them to his advantage.

"Oh Harry of course, take Remus," Hermione dismissed the vampire with a parting kiss and went back to her shoe problem.

"Thank Merlin," Remus whispered to his adopted godson.

"Tell me about it. Now where are the best damned jewellers in this place?"

Remus took Harry for a walk down an alley near the shop they had been in just moments ago and they entered a dark store. A bell chimed as they entered and a goblin appeared from below the counter.

"Good day, how are you sirs today?"

"Yeah, great sir. I am in need of a tiara, earrings, necklace and ring, all diamond and sapphires in platinum settings please," Harry explained, wanting nothing but the best for his Hermione.

The goblin looked up and noticed the teen for the first time, "Of course but you realise that this will cost a pretty Galleon do you not?"

Harry would have acted insulted if he didn't look like a street urchin at the moment, "Oh sorry about the clothes, just had a few big days and this was all I expected to wear. I was hoping for a quiet day in but no my fiend here is getting married in a couple days so my girlfriend dragged me out and she PUNCHED me!"

Listening intently the goblin nodded along with everything the vampire said but was searching through his stock to find the perfect items he needed for this transaction, "Well then sir it is a good thing you came today because this set I was getting sick of looking at."

The vampire and werewolf looked awed at the set that the goblin had pulled out for Harry. It was just as Harry had asked only it emanated magic in every millimetre, "What are they dear sir?"

"It's Borag, and these are the jewels of Hufflepuff herself," Borag stated to the still awed pair.

"I'll take them, I don't care how much they are. Hermione will love them just for the history behind them," Harry pulled out his wand to pay for the items via bank slip, which the goblin placed before the teen quickly.

"It was nice to do business with you Mister Potter," Borag bowed as the pair exited with the precious cargo in Harry's cloak pocket.

Once they returned the girls were just shrinking their purchases into pocket size, "Oh Harry I picked out the best shoes to go with the robes we got."

Harry kissed his love passionately, "They won't look nearly as good as you do."

This caused the witch to blush deeply, "Such a charmer."

Grabbing a hold of Tonks, Hermione pecked her boyfriend once more and apparated away with the auror, leaving Harry to take Remus with him.

SEVERUS SNAPE'S ORDEAL

Severus quickly apparated to the location that flashed into his mind when the burning began, bowing as soon as he arrived. The Dark Lord was seated in his throne, Nagini wrapped around his shoulders and Wormtail quivering at his right side.

"My dear followers it seems that my plan has failed as Potter did not show the slightest distress at the Mudblood being infected. Cassius has informed me that Potter himself is now a vampire so he must be dealt with accordingly, killed by another vampire. Seeing as we only have two at our disposal I have chosen that Severus Snape be the one to attack and kill Potter," Voldemort hissed in his snake-like voice.

Severus forgot to put his face back on quickly enough and was seen by Lucius Malfoy, who eagerly voiced the fact, "My Lord it seems Death Eater Snape has a problem with your decision."

"Is that so? Rise Snape!"

Severus had no choice but to raise up and take his punishment, "Yes my Lord?"

"Is it the truth that you have a problem with your new assignment? I would have thought you would want to kill that brat as much as anyone here would want to considering the pain and anguish he has put you through."

"I have no problems my Lord, no problems at all," Snape stated knowing that he would rather die than kill the newly created vampire.

"So be it then. It shall be done as soon as possible," Voldemort ordered.

The vampire went back to his spot and shot death glares at the back of Lucius Malfoy's head. After the meeting there were festivities which Severus rarely took a part in but this time he was in need of a release for his frustration. He took it out on a muggle male, feasting off him then snapping his neck in such anger that he ripped it off. Throwing the dismembered head away, Snape felt sick at what he had just done and excused himself to clean up then leave.

"I felt those stares Snape," Malfoy sneered as the vampire glided past him while using his wnad to clean his robes and body.

"You were meant to Lucius and let it be known that you screw me with the Dark Lord again and it will be your last time doing so."

Lucius laughed but was soon whimpering as Snape held him up by his throat and told him, "Shut up pet boy."

Severus let the wizard down then apparated to his room in the castle. He sat down, pulled a good book to him and got a drink of scotch to fulfil his need to do something human. It couldn't hurt him and he couldn't get drunk so the vampire went through a lot of alcohol every week, drinking and reading his hours awake away, while everyone else slept.

The golden couple were getting worried about where their professor was so they decided to walk down and see whether he was in his quarters. Knocking on the door, the pair were surprised to see the vampire open the door with a tumbler of scotch in his hand.

"Severus?" Hermione pointed to the drink.

The vampire let the couple into the room and sat them down before explaining how vampires could eat and drink but take in no nutrients. Apparently, it was a safety precaution so other's wouldn't know what they were by what they ate and drank.

Once he was done Harry asked how the meeting had gone and Severus replied, "You have to kill me."

"WHAT!" Was the reply he received with this remark.

"I was ordered to kill Harry and I'm not going to do that so he needs to kill me, it's not that hard you know," Severus seemed somewhat calmed about this idea, more so than would be expected.

It took a moment before the couple were able to speak coherently again, "No."

Now it was Severus' turn to ask, "What?"

"No, I'm not killing you," Harry answered bluntly.

"But, but, you have to or else I have to kill you."

"No, we just don't have you as our Death Eater insider anymore. I'm sure I can find someone to take that position from the coven," Harry explained to the elder vampire.

"You are willing to sacrifice a member of your coven to save me? This is wrong Potter," Severus slipped up and used his old name for the boy.

"I've never met anyone from the coven but I'm certain that they would willingly die to save their leader, so yes I'm going to do exactly as you have said," The younger vampire looked defiantly at his elder as though begging for a fight.

"Fine, but you have to explain that your grandparents and the Order," Severus gave up and dismissed the couple, who left without a fight.

The couple went to the library and pulled out every book they could on offensive spells and then head to the Room of Requirement to practice for the rest of the day and night. And that's what they did, stopping periodically to make out and feast on fresh blood thanks to an anonymous donor.
