Chapter 11
Thanks for beta'ing Draco!
"Damn it," Asa yelled. He called upon the shadows so that a small black ball the size of a tennis ball was in his hand.
Shad's eyes went cat like, his ears became pointed and long black wings came out of his back, his features became more pointed and his finger nails grew until they looked like claws.
"Why the hell didn't I sense him?" Shad swore, "I should of picked up any ill intent and be ready for battle."
"What ill intent?" Lance dead panned as he pointed at where the 'enemy' was now 'killing' Severus.
Looking to where Lance was pointing, the group felt like banging their heads against the walls.
It had turned out that Lucius (who was in full Veela mode) had gotten board of waiting for his mate to return and decide to have a make out session in the dark passageway.
Lance suddenly found his mothers hands over his eyes and heard her voice, "Do you mind? We could easily watch gay porn on a DVD or internet."
"Hn," Lucius said as he dragged a dazed Severus down the tunnels, every now and then stopping for a mini make out season.
Lance sighed, "Let me guess, Professor Snape and Lord Malfoy was making out again."
"How did you work that one out?" Asa asked as Shad calmed down and turned back into his human form.
"It wouldn't be the first time," Lance said as they started to in the direction that the Spirithowl School's smells and sounds was coming from, "Lord Malfoy basically stormed into my potions class once and kissed the living daylights out of Professor Snape before whispering something to him. The next thing we knew was that all of our potions was paused until next class and we were outside the classroom."
Danysia raised an eyebrow and gave a perverted grin, "Think they'd allow me to join in or at the very least watch?"
"DANYSAI!" three voice's yelled at the elderly vampire.
"What?" Danysia asked innocently, "Everyone needs a bit of action."
"Look! Where almost there!" Lance cried out.
'And thank every God that's up there for that' Kera muttered as their eyes slowly became used to the light again.
As they went through the doorway that would take them to Spirithowl School's area a sudden scream was heard and before they knew it several Spirithowl's students surrounded them.
Looking around, Kera realized that the passage way had taken them into Spirithowl School's area, they were in the girls bathrooms.
Danysia pouted, "And here I thought that I'd died and gone to heaven."
"Oh its just the perverted old bat," a female said as she gave a sharp nod and the weapons that were pointed at them was gone, "How the hell did you lot end up here? Danysia sure, the old pervert, but Headmistress?"
"We decided to take a different way here and wasn't sure about where it would take us, but back to our area," Kera explained as she picked up Lance who had suddenly gone very pale, "Is there any blood for tonight left?"
"Yeah, loads as we've just stocked up again," the female said as they walked towards the kitchen, "So this little guy is Lance?"
Kera nodded as they arrived in the kitchen, "Turns out that he was turned into Harry Potter all these years, the old goat was using him as a weapon," Kera paused as she made up a cup of blood for Lance and handed it to him.
"Don't worry sweetie," the female said with a smile as she and Kera watched the young vampire greedly drink the blood, "I'll make sure you're knowledgeable in my area at least!"
"Your area?" Lance asked, once the blood had taken effect, "You're a teacher at mum's school?"
The female nodded, "I'm a Ningyo, and my name's Yuki!"
"A Ningyo?" Lance asked as he looked the woman up and down, it was then that he noticed that she had low cuts on her neck that seemed to be almost as if they was gills and that she had a few scales on the bare skin that he would see.
"More commonly known as a mermaid through I'll live for at least 800 years!" Yuki explained while trying not to go 'aww' at the cute face Lance was making, "I teach the students how to battle in water!"
Lance looked away, "I don't think I'd be any good in that class."
"Why?" Kera asked with a frown.
Lance looked at the two females from under his fringe, "It's because I can't swim…the Dursley's…"
Lance trailed off looking anywhere, but at the two females. Suddenly Lance found himself being hugged by Yuki.
"Don't worry tadpole! When I find a good place for us I'll teach you how to swim!" Yuki declared as she walked away while mumbling to herself about planning Lance's 'first swimming lesson'.
"Good luck," Kera said with a smile to her son, "She's planning now so be warned, you're in her sights."
Lance gulped, why did he feel like a harpy had gotten her claws into him?
"Now then," Kera said as she scooped Lance up, "Lets-"
"Headmistress there is a group of six males waiting for you in the main area," Garron said with his normal glare, "They all have the colour of fire for their hair."
"The Weasley's," Lance said, his eyes going wide, he knew that they weren't humans, but he had to worry if the male Weasley's would hold the problems with the female Weasley's against him.
"There is also a female with hair like a toilet brush," Garron said, smirking when Lance calmed down slightly and giggled.
"Thank you Garron, please tell them we'll be right out," Kera said as she looked down to her son who was torn between giggling at one of the few jokes that Garron made while at the same time having a panic attack.
"Yes Headmistress," Garron said with a bow as he turned around began to slither out only to pause half way, "Be calm young one, I will not allow any harm to come to you."
"Thank you Mr. Garron," Lance said with a small smile.
"Lance, hunny," Kera said as she placed her son down on a table top so they was on the same eye level, "Did you just speak in the serpent tongue?"
"He did," Garron said with his now glare gone and his eyes wide through he had the same soft look that he had every time he looked at Lance, "The boy has the gift of the serpent tongue."
Lance stayed silent, now that they knew he was a paresltounge would they get ride of him? Through him out? Kill him?
Seeing her son's panic, Kera picked up her son and began to gently rock the child as it seemed to calm the young vampire down many times before, "Husssh my child, I am not angry, I am proud that you have such a rare skill."
"We will have to have a long talk when we have the chance," Garron said as he slithered over and placed a calming and reassuring hand on Lance's shoulder, "It has been to long scince I have talked to anyone in my own launage."
"So I'm not in trouble or anything?" Lance said as he allowed their words to wash over him.
"Not for something you can't help," Kera said as she sat down with Lance in her lap, "I mean none of my staff or students or even I are humans and we each have our own abilities and weaknesses so why would I be, hmmm?"
Lance gave his mum a shaky smile as he wiped away the few tear drops that had escape from his eyes away, "Thanks mummy, Garron."
Kera had to use her skills in mind magic to make sure she didn't squeal like a fan girl as her son called her 'mummy'.
"I believe that we have a certain group of fire elementals waiting for us," Garron said as he broke the moment.
"You are correct Garron," Kera said as she stood up leaving Lance in the chair, "Want to walk or do you want me to carry you?"
Kera gave her son an option as she knew how stressful this meeting would be on her son.
Not wanting to appear weak, Lance stood up, but held onto his mum's hand with one of his hands while the other still held onto batty.
With a smile, Kera and Lance made their way to the main room with Garron leading the way.
"Ready?" Kera asked as Garron went through the door, "Remember that you won't be alone, I'll be there along with Asa, Shad, Garron, Danysia, your friends from the students plus the rest of my students and staff as it is still the summer holidays for the rest of this week."
Spirithowl School for Magical Being's started a week before Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry did, through that week was the arriving and settling in, but it was skipped because of they were at Hogwarts, along with Lance's rescue, so the students of Spirithowl had an extra week off and started at the same time that the Hogwarts students did.
"I'm ready," Lance said as his mum nodded and opened the door to reveal the Weasley's who were waiting for them around the sofa in the main area with the students and staff either looking at the supisously or glaring at them.
"Don't worry hun," Kera said, "This will be on your terms, what you say goes, after this I'll introduce you to the rest of the teachers and you can pick what area's you want to study."
Lance's eyes sparked, "With Rox, Kai and Hiki?"
Kera gave a warm smile at her son as they started walking towards the sofa's, "Yes through you'll also have a lot of one on one classes until we all feel you are ready to cope in a normal class. It's all about you; our schooling system isn't like others."
Before Kera could say anything else, a nervous Arthur Weasley called out, "Harry, is that you?"
