Chapter 21: Blood

The first lesson with Lord Malfoy came far to soon for Mara's taste. But Mara had a question about the blood bond that harry and she had done. Harry had pointed out last night that her skin tone had slowly darken to a light medium tone since he had met her. Her cheek bones had also lowered slightly and that she had shrunk a few inches. As if she hadn't been short enough after her surprise on her birthday. She wanted to know if the blood ritual that they preformed was the reason for the changes and if so why was Harry not going through the same changes as well? Did they miss something?

So Mara was a bundle of nerves that morning and was driving Harry and Red up the walls.

"Mara will you calm down. Malfoy will be here soon and then you can ask him all the questions you want."

"But Harry," Mara stated while keeping her nose in her research, "this is serious. What if we preformed the ritual wrong. What effect will this have on us? These books say nothing on physical changes after doing the ritual. You know better than I do that if you screw up a blood ritual that there are major consequences."

"I know but there is nothing we can do about it until we ask Mr. Malfoy about it."

Mara leaned back in her chair with a sigh "I know, sorry."

Harry shrugged "I really do not feel that we did the ritual wrong."

Mara gave him a lifted eyebrow

Harry smiled "just a feeling"

Mara ran a hand through her hair, all they could do at the moment is wait.

MMMMMMMMMMM

When Lucius walk into the room he had a feeling that this was going to be a long day, if the looks that Mara was giving him was anything to go by.

Harry offered him a seat and poured him a glass of wine.

After he settled himself he looked at Mara

"Lets start with any questions you have for me" Lucius new that if he made her wait any longer that she may explode.

"As you know Harry and I did a sibling blood bond, Harry last night noticed that I have changed slightly in appearance. None of the books that we have read state anything about physical changes and if it is supposed to happen why hasn't Harry himself having the same thing happen to him?"

"The books that you have only have a general over view of what it is, not what it does. You are having physical changes because you have taken in Mr. Potter's mother's blood. Therefore you are taking on some of her features. Because of the exchange of blood you now have two mothers while Mr. Potter has two fathers. The reason that he had not taken on features from your father is because he has not reached his inheritance. He will begin to show changes during the week after his inheritance."

"But wouldn't I also have two fathers and Harry two mothers?"

"No, only the dominate blood is exchanged. Any magical creature blood is dominate over humans. So you only gave him your father's blood."

"But Harry was totally Human when we traded blood so wouldn't his parents genes be equal?"

"Yes, but you have not taken any features of James Potter. Which means that Harry's mother was not completely human."

"How can you tell that I don't have any of his father's features?"

"I went through Hogwarts with Mr Potter's father."

"So?, Harry and I looked a lot alike before we did the blood exchange."

The Lord growled in annoyance "I can smell that you do not have Potter's father's blood."

Mara gave him a look

"Then that would mean that my mother was not human. Do you know what she was?"

"Yes she part Luigi. But unlike Miss Johnson she did not have a tail. And unlike Mara she was only a descendant of a Luigi."

"A descendant, I don't understand?"

"Descendant to Luigi is someone who is only a small fraction of Luigi, having mixed with humans many times over the centuries. Mara is half meaning she is very valuable to us. Having new fresh blood that has not completely thinned out with the mating of humans over and over again."

"So my mother was not a desired mate because her blood was to diluted?"

"You are correct Mr Potter."

"But Red said that my blood is seen as a weakness by full bloods. That my kind would lead to your extinction."

"There is a small fraction that do believe this. They however are imbeciles. We need new blood once in a while or our kind will become inbreed, just as the wizards need magical creatures and muggleborns. That is why if a Luigi takes an intended they are not looked down upon."

"Intended?"

"Your father took your mother as an intended"

"Not a mate?"

"No your mother would not have survived the life bonding process. When Luigis Mate there is a bond created that connects them in a very intimate way. But the process is violent. Luigi are made specifically for this type of bonding but other races are not adapted enough to handle the sudden change."

"We Luigis are pack creatures and cannot survive without another of our kind, either by mating, parental or a kin bond. I as well as others wondered how your father had lived as long as he did without family. But the explanation came with your appearance."

"So with Harry having My birth father's blood he will be part Luigi as well."

"I believe both you and Harry will be a little over half because of your bond. Which is even more desirable than just being half. And because you are not physically deformed and are the first in of your kind to have a tail and Mr Potter will more than likely be the same because of the blood shared, you and Mr Potter will Have every unmated Luigi after you."

"Is that why your son was staring at me last night."

Mr Malfoy nodded.

"Well tell him to cut it out, it was annoying."

Mr Malfoy gave her a smirk. "My son has the right to court you"

"But so does every other Luigi" Harry pointed out.

Malfoy nodded again

"Great just great. I did not need this, I have to much to learn and do much less deal with courting. I am to young to have that type of relationship. The bond with Harry and in turn our blood father will keep Harry and Myself alive. At this pont and time I do not need a mate."

"Be that as it may, you are not going to dissuade any of the unmated from courting you. As well as Mr Potter when he comes of age"

Mara leaned against Harry's shoulder and groaned. This is not what they needed, at least Harry had a couple of years to prepare. She was beginning to think that she was Fate's new punching bag.
