The purpose part 39 Friend

(April 10th 1974)

Muggles are categorizing magical occurrences as supernatural. The ministry asks the population to remain as calm as possible and to alert immediately hit wizards and aurors that patrols every main city if you see danger or suspicious activities, without putting you at risk. To see a list of wanted deatheaters, see page 14. If you live outside of wizarding areas, the ministry reminds you to impose a curfew to your friends and families. See page 10 for defensive strategies.

Ruma turned the pages of the Daily prophet and saw a picture of Seth. He had his arms crossed and looked very angry. The title over his picture was 'Seth Vulken crowned King of vampires'. Ruma knew he had avoided the ministry for the longest time possible because he would have to explain his crown.

*You know, between You-Know-Who and him, I don't know which is scarier.*Said Sirius behind her.

*You know, between you and me, I don't know which is more prone to get bullied for speaking with the enemy.*Said Ruma.

It was very early, and there was barely any students on a Saturday morning, and it had been a full moon, so Sirius had barely slept. Still, the few Slytherins eyed the lion with anger. Ruma had only spoken with him, the only Gryffindor student, during the year, and he had begged her to show her final Animagus form.

*The enemy? Since when do you consider me… as such?*Whispered Sirius in her ear.

She felt his warm breath on her neck and smelled faintly his perfume she had dared to offer him on last Christmas. He had more charm than his brother, and was also older, but that did not stop him from grabbing her in a storage room the day before and kissing her vigorously, which she had not pushed away, well not that time after several attempts from him.

*Hmm, you are right, I don't. And to answer your question, I find You-Know-Poo scarier, since he is unpredictable, and probably has a fantastic personality.*Said Ruma sarcastically.

Sirius laughed at her comment and sat on the table beside her plate.

*I'm learning about important dates in history. Do you want to be one of them?*Said Sirius quietly with a grin.

She rolled her eyes and took her bag before standing up.

*You can never be serious, huh?*Said Ruma before leaving.

*But I am, it's my name! Come on!*Said Sirius loudly.

A few students laughed at him, thinking she left for him being stupid again. He huffed and went after her. He turned the corridors and when he could not see her, he relied on her smell, which stopped him dead in his tracks into… the storage room they had kissed the day before. He looked around, and seeing no one was there, he opened the door and closed it behind him. It was pitch black, but he knew she was right in front of him. He cast a Lumos, and her green eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

*Do you have a map? I keep getting lost in your eyes.*Said Sirius cheekily.

Ruma giggled and had the time to cast a silencing and locking spell on the door before Sirius went to her and kissed her. He dropped his wand on the floor which continued to emit a faint light. He was not sure where to put his hands and he slowly placed his left in her hair and the other behind her back. She smelled so good, her lovely lavender perfume. Her lips were so soft, and her hands had found their way under his shirt and burned his skin.

He was not sure if she wanted more, if whatever he was doing was fine, or good. He had kissed other girls from Gryffindor, even some Ravenclaws, but he did not know why, he cared more about what Ruma would think of him. She made a soft moan, and it turned him on so, she would surely feel him elsewhere. He moved his hips slightly away, and she stopped the kiss, her forehead on his.

*Do you want me, Sirius?*Whispered Ruma.

Sirius swallowed, his heartbeat hitting his chest rapidly. She took Sirius's left hand and placed it on her breast. He very well thought his heart could explode.

*I… I… It's… I do. My… first time.*Mumbled Sirius.

She looked at him and frowned.

*Do you think I'm a whore?*Asked Ruma.

Sirius's eyes went wide in horror, and he removed his hand from her breast.

*NO! Never! Why would I…*Began Sirius but Ruma placed a finger on his lips.

*I thought you might think this would not be my first either.*Said Ruma quietly.

Sirius's eyes softened and made a sorry face.

*I… I have kissed girls, nothing else.*Said Sirius.

*Then, let's discover other sensations.*Said Ruma before kissing him again.

This time, Sirius did not hide his growing erection. Their kiss became passionate, and Ruma removed his shirt, then he removed hers. He placed his mouth over right nipple and played with her left with his fingers. She made that lovely moan again, and that only encouraged him to be less gentle and she bucked her hips towards him, her breathing getting more labored. She threw her head back and tried to hold herself on his shoulders and she knocked a broom which fell on the floor.

*O… oops.*She breathed.

*You placed a silencing charm, I saw you.*Mumbled Sirius, now licking in between her breasts.

*I did… wait.*Said Ruma.

Sirius stopped his doings and looked at her with a confused look. She took her wand she had placed on the nearby shelf and pointed it at the fallen broom and transfigured it into a thin, soft mattress and placed it behind her. She placed her wand back on the shelf. Sirius could not help but be impressed by her transfiguration abilities. His wand was still emitting a soft light on the floor. Ruma laid down on the mattress and Sirius looked at her beautiful body. She wore a golden necklace with a heart trinket, and he wondered who offered it to her. He brought down his pants and removed them, tossing them on the side. Ruma was holding herself on her elbows and made a smile upon seeing him totally naked. He was a quidditch player and it showed.

*Well, aren't you a sight, Sirius.*Said Ruma.

*Something's wrong with my eyes because I can't take them off of you.*Said Sirius.

Ruma giggled again, and he carefully moved down on her and slowly removed her skirt where a light green underwear hid underneath. He then took one finger to bring down her underwear, showing a trimmed and thin black bush. It excited him even more seeing she was already taking care of her appearance. He softly blew on her belly as he went up to meet her lips again, placing himself between her inviting legs. His cock rubbed on her belly, and he moaned on her mouth at the sensation. Ruma's hands were softly caressing his back, then went down in between them. He held his breath as she caught him in her warm hands and stroked it a few times before guiding him to her entrance.

*Are you… are you sure?*Asked Sirius.

*Such a gentleman, Black. Yes, I am.*Said Ruma.

In one careful motion, he entered her, and they both let out a gasp, but Ruma also winced. Sirius looked at her face expressions with concern as he went out and in again. Her face slowly changed to pleasure, and she placed her legs around him.

*This… this is good, continue.*Said Ruma.

Encouraged by her words, Sirius accelerated his movements. She was so warm, soft, and her insides beautifully fit him perfectly. It was better than anything he ever imagined, and he realized he would find release way too soon. He propped himself up and grabbed her legs, placing them in front of him, resting on his shoulders. He placed his thumb on her nub he found within her folds and began to make circling moves as he looked at her. Sweat had formed on her forehead and some hair stuck to her face. He could never find another girl so beautiful.

*Yes! That's it!*Moaned Ruma.

He found a pace of hip movements and moving his thumb when he felt her contract around him and her mouth opened, letting out a soft cry. The tension of her climax made him find release a few seconds after and a growl escaped his lips.

*Amazing.*Breathed out Ruma quietly.

He thought exactly the same thing.

*Yes, you are.*Replied Sirius, making her smile again.

He placed her legs back down and heard a sound coming out of her anklet. Why didn't hear it before? He brushed the thought aside and went back to kiss her again. They stayed like this until his arms trembled from exhaustion. He removed himself from her and took his wand from the floor, spelling a cleaning charm on both of them.

*Thanks.*Said Ruma.

They took back their clothes and dressed up. She transfigured again the mattress back to the broom then looked at him.

*Can you hear or smell anyone nearby?*She asked.

He could definitely smell her everywhere in the storage room, but he did not hear anything in the hall. He peaked outside as he opened the door, and nobody was in sight, so he looked over his shoulder.

*No one. See you later?*Said Sirius and she hummed in response.

He left the storage room, and she waited a few minutes before also going out. She came nose to nose with Peeves.

*Ruma with the wrong Black? Or are my eyes of mine deceiving me?*Said Peeves.

She pulled out her wand again and pointed it at him. He flinched but recovered quickly and pulled out his tongue at her.

*What do you mean, wrong Black? I only have Regulus as friend, everybody knows that!*Said Ruma.

Peeves shrugged then floated upside down.

*I saw him going out of the same storage room you just did.*Said Peeves.

*Why would you assume we are together? You perfectly know what I do, don't you, Peeves?*Said Ruma menacingly.

She knew a few runewords against ghosts and poltergeists, and lucky for her, Peeves knew that she could hurt him. He pulled his tongue again at her and flew away. She went back to the dining hall, where she hoped to find her friends.

When she arrived, she found several gifts at her usual place with her two friends chatting happily. Their smile was wide, and she happily joined them.

*Happy birthday Ruma!*They said in unison.

*Thanks!*Said Ruma.

Not far from there, Sirius had joined his friends too, and looked at Ruma who was unwrapping her gifts. He had not known it was her birthday, but he grinned knowing they both had the best time of their lives a moment ago. At least, he did, and he could not think of anything else.

*What happened this morning, Padfoot? You keep looking at Vulken with a stupid look on your face.*Said James.

*I'm just happy for her, it's her birthday, see?*Said Sirius.

*Since when should we care?*Asked Peter.

Lupin looked with tired eyes at Sirius, then at Ruma, and frowned. He suspected his friend was more than happy for her, but he stayed silent. He saw Severus coming in the dining hall and passing behind Ruma without a glance, but she had turned her head and he heard her saying 'Hello, Sev.' and he had stopped, making a nod, then walked further away. Ever since Severus had called Lily a Mudblood, Snape seemed to have lost more than just one friend, only to gain other bad influences. He looked at Lily who had also looked at Severus, then went back to eat her breakfast. He stared down at the Daily Prophet where it mentioned Seth being vampire King. He looked so angry, and he wondered why. He read the article where they asked some questions to him.

'How do you feel about becoming King?' Asked the reporter.

'I was already in authority; this changes nothing to me or the vampires.' Replied Seth.

'What will become of your father?' Asked the reporter.

'He is still in authority, he still lives in Egypt, where absolutely nothing has changed.' Answered Seth.

'Why were you crowned King, then?' Asked the reporter.

'Since my father will surely leave this world in the next few years, he had to lend me full power over my people, and I have to get used to take major decisions.' Answered Seth.

'What major decisions?' Asked the reporter.

'Laws and crime punishments' Answered Seth.

'Has you or your father ever needed to make such punishments?' Asked the reporter.

'Nothing major unless you take Grindelwald's case.' Answered Seth.

'What made vampires take him away from his prison?' Asked the reporter.

Seth had not answered the question and Lupin thought it was curious. But even if Grindelwald had been somewhat free, nothing happened for the last thirty years with him, so he figured vampires did have some control, someway, not without stating the fact that Grindelwald would not have magic anymore. He could not imagine a world where You-Know-Who and Grindelwald coexisted as both trying to take over this world. Loud laughs made him look away from the news. Confetti and sparkling lights went around and over Slytherin's table, spelling Happy Birthday Ruma. She was really a beautiful girl, clever, and the best in her classes from what he heard. She truly had everything for herself, even in name. No wonder even Sirius had a thing for her.

*Vampires. Good thing they are not everywhere, or within Hogwarts.*Said James over Lupin's shoulder.

*Why would you think so, Prongs? They might not have magic, but I'm sure we can learn a lot from their way of life. What if someone said such things about were-wolves? Oh right, there is people that think like that already.*Said Lupin.

*It's… it's not the same! They need blood to survive, not anything like were-wolves!*Said James.

*Vampires actually choose to become one, and never had they been convicted for killing anyone!*Said Lupin.

*Why are we arguing about them? I thought you did not like vampires.*Said James.

*Oh, shush you two! If Moony wants to be friends with them, then we are not the ones who are going to stop him.*Said Sirius.

Lupin and James made a grunt in response, and Peter was half-asleep on the table and half a toast in his hand.

OoOoO

*When did you plan to tell me you were King?*Hissed Voldemort.

Seth was sitting, legs crossed, in his comfortable chair he adored in the living room, sipping on his favorite red wine from Italy. He looked at the Dark Lord with an amused smile, and that really seemed to piss him off.

*Why would that change anything? Did you have a scheme implying me as King?*Asked Seth.

Voldemort made a deadly stare.

*You avoided the ministry until you had no choice. Why?*Asked Voldemort.

Seth placed his glass on the table beside him.

*I assumed they would be scared, and they are. Surely even you can tell how a crown makes all the difference. They could not… or did not want to conceive the… power I truly have.*Said Seth as he studied Voldemort's reaction at his words.

He saw Voldemort's lip twitch, and a flash of doubt in his red eyes. Seth clicked his tongue and stood up and walked to him. He thought he saw him flinch at his approach. He was a bit taller than him, and perhaps he had grown to be more intimidating, even to him.

*V, I made you a deal, a compromise.*Said Seth softly.

He placed his right thumb in his mouth and made a cut with his teeth. Blood began to come out of it. Voldemort grabbed his wrist angrily.

*Perhaps you did. And I would have to still rely on you to be… stronger.*Hissed the Dark Lord.

The blood continued its way down his thumb, then in his hand and onto Voldemort's.

*It's only this way because I'm a vampire. If you drink from me, then it would be a different story, you know this.*Said Seth removing his arm from Voldemort's grip.

*It's not like I have your blood whenever I want.*Said Voldemort taking one step back.

*Perhaps, but it is available to you if you need it, and if you did need it, then that would mean someone else is stronger than you when it is not supposed to be.*Said Seth before placing his thumb in his mouth and healing it instantly.

Voldemort stayed silent and he was trying really hard not to argue with Seth.

*Those funds you gave the ministry…*Said Voldemort, changing subject.

*Are being handled by Brian. He's cleverer than you imagine. Why do you think the apparition law is failing as much? Or how every time aurors are supposed to plan an attack, you already know of it?*Said Seth.

*Lucius…*Began the Dark Lord.

*Is tipped off by Corban, and in some cases, Rookwood.*Said Seth.

*I see. You never faltered…*Said Voldemort.

Seth growled.

*Yes, I did! Especially when you attacked Corban out of jealousy!*Spat Seth.

They stared at each other in defiance, but Seth blinked after a few seconds, then brought out the locket out of his shirt.

*Other than that moment, no, and I still wear it, V.*Said Seth.

Voldemort looked at the locket, then at Seth again.

*Lovely. Why don't you keep it that way.*Hissed Voldemort between his teeth.

*Hmph. You know, I have always considered you… a friend.*Made Seth as he put the locket back under his shirt.

Something passed in Voldemort's eyes as Seth went back to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs, before taking the wine glass again. Without another look, Voldemort apparated away.

OoOoO

(June 1974)

*This can't go on, Albus.*Said Maugrey.

*It's like they know our every move, no matter what we decide.*Said Frank Longbottom.

Dumbledore had long settled the order of the phoenix headquarters at the Longbottom's manor. They were about twenty members and he tried to recruit anytime he could. There was already quite a few at Hogwarts that were potentials, and they would enter their last year next September.

He suspected Ruma for some things she should not even be suspected. Even if he did, he had nothing. Not even Peeves could tell him anything more than normal teenager things.

*How could they? We don't… we can't have a traitor here, it's impossible!*Said Alice.

*No, that's because you always act with ministry aurors, not just us here.*Said Albus.

*I have… bad news.*Said Fabian Prewett.

Everyone there looked at him anxiously.

*Dorcas was killed last night, by Voldemort himself.*Continued Fabian.

There was a moment of silence. Dorcas Meadowes, an auror member of their order, had been enough of a threat to be killed by the Dark Lord himself.

*Don't lose hope. We know more and more everyday about his strategies and his deatheaters.*Said Albus.

*Perhaps, but he keeps the pace always in front of us.*Said Maugrey.

*Are you sure… Seth is not doing anything for him?*Asked Frank.

Albus shook his head and sighed.

*Not… anything, I'm pretty sure the funds he gave is diverted to other purposes and serves Voldemort in some way.*Said Albus.

*What about the vampire Danyck? I am perfectly sure he is the one causing havoc with the other deatheaters! Just like the director suspected!*Said Maugrey.

Albus was sure of it too, but also knew he was Seth's childe and if they managed to capture him, he had no idea what Seth would do. The deaths of the muggles were different if they received the death curse from the deatheaters than the deaths caused by the flying attacker where they found their hearts had been crushed inside of them. Since telekinesis was the power to move objects with the mind, he figured he could do that terrible feat from a distance. He was no longer seen with Seth, who also did not come to the ministry as often as he did. He had heard Seth say he stayed home because of the apparition law and the ministry recommendations of staying inside the country, and when he did come to the ministry, they discovered he had been made King.

*I am sure he is the one the director suspected too, Alastor. The problem is not capturing him, which I am sure could be very possible if we plan something specific for him. The problem is he is Seth's childe, and you all know what he is now, we do not know what his reaction could be, and how it could be a catastrophe.*Mumbled Albus.

*So you would prefer we do nothing, just because he is a vampire?*Asked Maugrey angrily.

*No, of course not. I need to know more.*Said Albus. He looked at them one by one and closed his eyes for a short moment, before opening them again. *And that will bring us to a mission I might have to do myself.*Finished Albus.
