Darkness Always Conquers
Chapter Fourteen
Diagon Alley, Saturday, September 11, 1996.
They were on their way to Diagon Alley, Hermione has been feeling quite well since what happen the first day of classes. The bonded with Onyx and a little of Harry's blood had done her wonders. She could run, heal and memorize things a little bit faster than she did before that, but that didn't meant that she was indestructible, it wasn't by no means like a vampire. She just had a little of an advantage. After she was free to go from the infirmary she had asked Ron, Neville, Luna and Ginny to go with them to Diagon Alley, they had accepted happily.
As plan they were on their way to Diagon alley.
Harry and Hermione walked with their friends through the streets of Diagon alley.
"Where do you want to go to check on the costumes?" Harry asked her passing by Ollivander's Wand Shop.
"Let's go to the new store beside Twilfitt and Tatting's" Hermione said walking beside him.
"Okay let's go there then, but where is it at?" He asked her, Ron beside them while Luna, Neville and Ginny walked behind them.
"It is beside the Potage cauldrons shop that is where we bought our cauldrons for potion this year" She said to him.
"Ah, I still don't know where it is, but I will follow your lead" He said giving her a smile.
"Huh, Harry you should pay more attention to where you go to buy your things" She said to him while passing a quidditch equipment store.
"Sorry, I will pay more attention the next time we go" He said.
They walked past at least six stores till they arrive at a clothes store they were going to. The store was called Clothing for light and dark beings. It was a big store, but since it was new and no one knew what it was like to buy there it had not many costumers. They entered the store through the big brown doors. The interior of the store was gothic looking it had back walls and the floor was of dark wood. There were clothes for man and woman all around the store, in different sizes and styles. And at the very back of the store they could see a costume section.
They walked their way into the back section of the store where the costumes were. After a long searching of costumes Ron had taken a pirate costume, Neville had chosen an Elf costume, Luna a werewolf one and Ginny a fairy costume while he and Hermione had black and red vampiric costumes. His costume was a black vest, a black cape with red inside and a red necktie. Hermione's costume consisted of a Victorian dress in black and red, it would make her look like a princess of the night. With the costumes in hand the all pay their things and left the store.
"Harry where am I going to get my earrings and necklace for the costume, I already check on the store where we bought our costumes, but there wasn't any good looking ones or any that would had match the dress" Hermione said to him while walking beside him through the almost desert street of Diagon Alley.
"I don't Mione, maybe we could check another time in some other place, there is still time for us to check another day, the party is for next month" He said a little tire of all the walking.
"Yeah, I guess we could leave the earrings and necklace for another time." She said to him. "Let's get out of here I'm tire and I bet the rest of you are" Hermione said to the others waking beside and behind them.
And so they left and walked their way to Hogwarts. Once at Hogwarts they went to their dorm rooms, to put away their costumes.
"Harry, come let's go to the library" He hears Hermione said to him while he is walking down the stair from his room. He just walked the remaining stairs and walked to her.
"Here I'm, care to walk with me lovely lady" He said to her making her blush. He held out a hand for her to take.
"Yes" She said taking his hand into hers. And so they walked out of the room and into the library receiving a lot of stares.
Once in the library they went to the back section where no person or student was.
"Kiss me Harry" She said moving closer to him. He did as he was told; he put one hand against her waist and the other against the back of her head, and lean even closer to her. He then gently press his thin lips firmly against hers, making her moan, they then embarked into a trip of passionate kissing. Searching for some air that wasn't need from his part, they part from their kissing. As they did so, they lt their foreheads touch against each others, he stare at her honey brown eyes, as she looked at him in the eyes and gave shallow breaths, searching for the so need oxygen.
As he watched her he heard a cough and so his girlfriend and he turned their heads to where the sound has come from. Finally turning their heads to the sound they see the figure of Stephen dress in black and green robes standing a few feet's in front of them.
"Hey so here you are and kissing I see" Stephen said while walking closer to them. "I have been searching for you for some minutes now, I want to give both of you something, I'm sure it is going to fit perfectly with the costumes you have chosen to wear" He to them, taking a small black rectangular box from inside his robes.
"What is this?" Harry asked while taking the black box from his sire who was handing it to him.
"Ah it is just a little something look at it as my approval of your relationship" His sire said smiling letting his fangs be showed as he did so. "Go ahead open it, both of you" He encourage. And so they did, with Hermione's help Harry had the little box open.
Inside the box there were lovely red and silver earrings, and equal lovely red and silver necklace, which held in the middle a little flask that had a red substance in it, a dagger of the same colors, a silver chain which held a same looking flask from the necklace and another dagger but instead of red like the other black in the handle.
"Almost all the things in the box are Hermione's expect the black dagger and the silver chain with the flask" The brown hair man said to them.
"What is in the flask?" Hermione asked Stephen while she inspect her new given necklace with her eyes and hands. "Is it blood?"
"Yes it is blood, but don't worry it I mine. I just decide to give you both some, because you never know and something may happen, so if you are in a death and life situation you may use them and save your life" The vampire explain to them.
"What could the blood do if you drink it now?" She asked Stephen turning her gaze from the necklace at her hand to him.
"Well to a human or vampire it could help them if they had an injury, but since you are a human the blood will give you inhuman speed but it would be no were near the true speed of a vampire, it will give you strength, some metal powers and blood lust for about a month or so. But in some cases the human who drinks the blood of a vampire doesn't lust for human blood after and if you are kill with the vampire blood in your system if may be possible for the human to transform into a vampire, I say this because it has happen in the past. The human could also be turn if he or she drinks vampiric blood while been at the brick of death. Although our blood gives humans unnatural beauty" Stephen answered her questions and many others that where in her mind.
"Oh, wow I don't know what to say" Hermione said stunned too the whole possibilities that drinking vampire blood could give.
"It is truly amazing how our blood works" Harry said wrapping his left hand around Hermione's waist.
"Indeed it is" Stephen said unmoving.
"Thanks for the presents Stephen, they fit quite well we our costumes" Hermione said giving a little smile.
"You are welcome darling, now I must go, I have to grade some essay assignment from forth year" Stephen said to them.
"Okay, see you later" Hermione said.
"Bye and thanks for the gifts father" Harry said to his new father and sire while watching him walked out of the library. "You are welcome, son" Stephen whispered so only his ears could hear his response as he walked out of the room.
"Let's go the room of requirements to have some more of those delicious kissable lips of yours" Hermione said to him while pressing herself closer to him.
"Of course love" He said in an excited voice while taking her bridal style and running with his supernatural speed to the room of requirements.
