I had fed earlier on a woman twice my age over by a bar. I was too hungry to chase her so I made her come to me, since she was drunk it was very easy. The only problem is that her blood was tainted by alcohol and who knows what else. She was so doped up that it affected my senses slightly and was forced to stop. I closed the wound and left the alley with a bitter taste in my mouth, the taste was so bad that I almost lost my appetite.


Almost


I made my way to a place that I had found a few months back, it was a dream come true for those of my kind that we used quite often, a blood bank. I felt like I was at an all you can eat buffet, there was just so many types of blood here all ready and waiting for me to come and drink.


It was night time so the guard was asleep at his post as I swept past him. I passed through many doors and didn't pass anyone, as I made my way to a large steel door. I went in and my mouth watered instantly as I saw the many industrial sized refrigerators, each one hosting different types of the delicious crimson liquid that I hunger for so badly.


I read of the labels trying to decide what I wanted, it was so hard since they are all sweet in their own special way. I decided to feast on the universal blood tonight and opened the large door.


A sudden chill went through me as the cold air smacked me on my face. I wrapped my cloak tighter around me and grabbed what had brought me here in the first place. I placed my cargo inside my cloak pockets and closed the cold door. Too hungry to go through the many doors again I moved myself with my mind back to the large castle that for several months out of the year is my home. I arrived at the edge of the Quidditch field and jogged my way to the castle.


I quickly made my way down to the dungeons as fast as I could without looking suspicious, since there are still people walking around the corridors. I walked into my common room and was immediately stopped by a few people wondering where I had been all afternoon. I make an excuse that I was studying at the library, and try to go to my bedroom. I had almost made it to the door when a high pitched voice stopped me.


"But Draco honey, I checked the library, and you weren't in there,"


My mind quickly worked up another excuse, "I also had to go see Professor Vector about something."


She seamed to have bought that, "Oh, OK."


I mentally shook my head at that moment, 'And I used to like her too.'


"I'm really tired at the moment Pansy, do you mind if we talk tomorrow?" I asked, hoping she would leave me alone.


"Oh of course Draco, you need your sleep."


I left quickly making my way to my private room, at the beginning of my fifth year I was made Prefect. It was a year later that I was turned into what I am now.


A vampire.


I kept it a secret of course, and I was now head boy, a model student, and very well respected. If they only knew what I did once classes were over for the day.


I closed the bedroom door behind me and quickly sit down on my bed. I take out my dinner from my cloak pockets and drink. I sighed as I felt the cool liquid go down my throat and into my belly. After I had finished all of the blood I had brought with me, I go to my desk and finish whatever work that was left to be done.


I finished quickly, and went into the small, but private bathroom. I stripped from all of my clothing and stepped into the shower.


As the warm water pelted my back my mind started to drift to the reasons why I was so hungry earlier. I had not eaten for several days because I wanted to test my limits, and see how long I could go without blood.


It turns out I can only last a few days, then I become very weak and my senses start shutting off, I had read once that a new vampire must drink often to remain at full power. If I had been smarter I wouldn't have done that, but it does not matter. What mattered at the moment was what was I supposed to do for blood when I have no time for myself anymore? I grabbed the shampoo bottle and squirted out the minty, thick liquid and lathered it on my blond hair.


After the shower I dry myself with my wand and get dressed again. I put on a comfortable black robe that I wore during my free time. After looking out my window I decided to go out again. I grabbed my cloak, fastened the clasps and pulled up the hood, then I left my room.


When I reached the common room I made myself blend with the shadows, one of the perks when you are one of my kind. I walked around aimlessly making sure no one was in my way. I passed by a window that faced the lake, I stared at the still water until I saw a blur with the corner of my eye. I didn't catch what it was so I shrugged it off and kept walking.


I soon found myself at the entrance of the Astronomy Tower, I walked up the stone steps slowly. I wasn't in a hurry so I took my time making my way to the top where I am now.


I feel someone trying to enter my mind, the tingly feeling I am receiving is unnerving. They stop when they feel my barrier, I try the same, probing their mind with my own but it was useless. The persons mind was as strong as mine and that makes me wonder what they are.


"Show yourself, I mean no harm. Are you friend or foe?" I speak making sure I sound neutral.


"Who are you?"


I know that voice but from where? I whirl around to face the cloaked figure of a woman, I step closer to her and she did the same. I want to intimidate this person in case it was human, though I am hoping it isn't. I bare my fangs at her, showing off my vampirism with pride.



"A vampire, and you?"



She bared her pearly white, razor sharp, fangs as well. My mind is whirling with anticipation that I may have someone to connect with.



"I am one as well, tell me are you a young fledgeling as I?" She asks with her soft voice that makes me feel warm all over.


"I was turned the summer before last, and you?" I ask also wanting to know if she had a companion.



"I was only turned last July. Do you have a companion?"



I chuckled as she stole the words right out of my mouth, I even told her so.


"I was about to ask you the same thing, no I do not." Though I would not mind if you were mine I add to myself.



She smiled softly, "I don't either, would you care to be mine? It tends to get lonely at the top of the food chain."



I had to laugh at that, my laugh echoed through out the tower, it was a cold laugh that fits me so well.


"I agree, it does get lonely, even when your surrounded by people."


"Then I usually feel hunger."


We both laughed at this and leaned into a wall. I turned to her and rested my hand on her cheek, she leaned into my touch, I was glad she did not shy away from me.


"I want to see who you are, can I?" I ask hoping that she will let me see her pale skin that is hidden beneath her cloak.


She nodded, "But only if I can see who you are."



I nodded back and started tugging at my hood, I have no problem with showing her who I am as long as I am able to see her. She follows my example and pulls her own hood back.




We both gasped when we saw who the other was. I stared straight at the face of Virginia Weasley.

Thank you for the reviews, especialy those who told me about my errors (Which I fixed). Please let me know if I got any more problems, I'm not the worlds best speller and my spell check sucks. But please be nice about it, I don't like people telling me that I suck.
