Chapter four
I blinked of the near size of it. Midnight Mall looked almost like a muggle indoor mall but it was so much more. There were three stories of nothing but stores. The mall was filled by big white lights but red was the predominant color. The floor tiles were a beautiful wine red and the red and black escalators had a blood waterfall next to it that looked surprising tactful. The place looked like a red neverland. Each floor had different stores with crazier products and Goth like store designs. My eyes lit up at the possibility of going to each store and trying everything.
Dra. Malfoy laughed beside me. "I don't know about trying everything but we'll see what we can do." I tried to give him an annoyed look but my grin burst out despite my efforts. "Let's eat first. That gelatin was not enough."
I just nodded my head and followed Malfoy through the mall not bothering to take my hand out of his. I was just too fascinated by this place. I saw clothing stores and piercing stores. I saw a store called Quick I.D. that had what looked like Driving Licenses all over the store. I looked around at the people and it was amazing.
Everyone looked completely different. There were people dressed in capes and tuxedos. Some people were dressed all in black, gothic really. While some people were just in jeans and t-shirts. Everyone was completely different and they were all in muggle clothing. I actually thought it would be more like the wizarding world were, people wore wizard robes and such. I was completely fascinated.
"Harry, you see the wizarding world is just that. It's for wizards." Malfoy explained, " Many wizards have lived their entire lives without every really stepping outside of the wizarding world. We have wizard cities; we live a life completely set aside from the muggle world. Vampires, on the other hand, live in the world of muggles. Sure we have places like Midnight Mall across the globe but that's about it for us. There's no Hogwarts of Vampires Harry. We live with humans and interact with them nightly."
I just nodded my head in agreement and continued to look around. I couldn't but help to notice that just about everyone in here seemed to be a couple. Rarely had I seen just one person walking alone or a group of people walking together. Everyone seemed to be with someone and not all those couples were straight either.
"Yeah vampires are more open when it comes to sexuality." Malfoy stated
"Why is that?" I asked curiously, somehow I knew I wasn't going to like the outcome of this conversation.
"Well because everyone vampire has that special person that their meant to spend their immortal life with. That's someone's life's line. The thing is you never know who your life's line is until you meet them. So you don't know whether it's a boy and girl and whoever it is, you can't really do anything about it. You're body knows. That's why us vampires don't really believe in a set sexuality. You know the old saying 'You can't help who you fall in love with' and all that nonsense."
"What the hell is."
"Ahh, here it is the food court." Draco.Malf. bloody hell, his name is Malfoy. Malfoy. Yes, anyway, Malfoy interrupted me before I could say anything.
I surveyed the scene and couldn't help but be surprised. There surprisingly was a vast selection of restaurants. Each place had something new and different to offer.
"Well what can you expect really? Vampires are old creatures sure we'd have found better ways to enjoy a mill then killing the next door neighbor, right." Draco. M.. Oh fuck why bother? Draco smiled at me and led me to one of the food stations named, "Plasma Delight" How original.
"May I have two plasma specials?" Draco told the woman behind the counter.
"That will be £7 even." She replied. I watched in quiet fascination as Draco pulled money from his pocket and paid the cashier. We walked to the side to wait for our food when I questioned Draco.
"Where did you get muggle money from?"
"Really Harry if I have a muggle house you shouldn't be that surprised at this stuff by now. Obviously I'm more connected to the muggle world than everyone else believes but you should know better by now." Draco smiled.
I repeated the question.
"Oh alright." A sneaky grin appeared on Draco's face. "It's simple really. I asked my father for a couple shickles. I went to Gringotts got them converted to pounds and a few duplicating charms latter, I got a wallet full of money."
"Duplicating charms? You mean this money isn't real?" My eyes grew huge.
"Oh praise Merlin, Harry. You're smarter than I thought." Draco beamed sarcastically and I rolled my eyes once again.
"So is that how the Malfoy's got so rich? Duplicating real money to make more and then going into Gringotts to have it converted to Wizard money."
Draco grabbed his heart in a mock heart attack. "No Harry, that's despicable." He paused. "Beside those goblins can spot real money from a charmed note miles away and trust me when I say they don't take to kindly to people who do try." Draco smiled.
I turned to see if our food was ready.
"Although, if you duplicated smaller bills and went to a muggle bank to have them changed for larger bills, when you went to deposit the money in Gringotts it wouldn't be counterfeit then now would it?" Draco smiled.
I rolled my eyes but this time I smiled with it. Trust the Malfoy's to have figured out a dodgy way to acquire money.
"Hey the lot of us have been in Slytherin for generations. Don't be too surprised now."
The food was finally ready and we found a table to eat. The plasma specials looked sort of like meatloaf but red. I didn't even bother asking Draco if it was blood because I knew the answer as soon as I put the first forkful in my mouth. Once again it felt as if I were being made whole and surprisingly it was rather tasty.
Once we finished eating we went around the mall. We stopped by a couple of bookstores, clothing stores, we even went to the supermarket on the third floor and stocked up on food. One store was a potion store that was actually owned by a wizard. The store was full of different potions of different colors, shapes, and sizes. He had potions that made the skinner tanner. Potions that helped you age properly. There were potions that allowed vampires to be without blood for an extended amount of time.
Another store called "Crossover Guide" we stopped in catered to people who just crossed over. They had special sunglasses and contacts that help you adjust to the super strong vision and earplugs. They even had a lotion you could rub on your head to stop other vampires from reading your thoughts until you learned how to block them. I made Draco buy me two. There was a store called fang gallery, were people could get their fangs resized or pierced. Draco told me then that my fangs would grow when the last few of my human cells died.
Everything was really going great I was having a great time and all good things most come to an end.
It started when Malfoy pulled me into the "Life's Line Specialty." It was a beautiful store but everything they sold came in pairs. Every little trinket or jewelry was to strengthen the vampire relationship in some way. It was nice but then Draco insisted on buying us a pair of pins that connected two vampires. Every time one vampire touched his pin, his mate would know that the other vampire was thinking about him. It was cute but I refused.
So Draco refused to talk to me all the way out of the mall and on the entire journey home. Which was just fine with me. I was tired of his little game of charades and wanted this to be over all ready. I was so confused, really. I needed to think anyway. What Draco had said earlier about life's lines was really starting to get to me. He said that a life's line could be boy or girl but you never know until you meet that person. The person you're supposed to love for eternity. He had told that Aaron guy that I was his life's line.
But I'm not queer. So Malfoy is just.
"For Merlin's sake, Potter, can you just get off the queer thing already." Draco yelled as we entered the house.
I calmly answered, "Well I'm sorry, Malfoy but you made a mistake. I'm not queer. I'm sorry that you fancy me but."
"Bullocks! I know you have the same feelings for me that I have for you. Even if you are scared to admit it." Draco insisted.
"Malfoy."
"Fine then, Potter if you're so sure that you don't like blokes than prove it then." Draco sneered.
I looked at him strangely. "How can I prove, it?"
"Kiss me."
"What?!" I went red at the mere thought.
"Kiss me. If you're so sure that your straight you should be able to kiss me and feel nothing right?" Draco grinned evilly inching closer to me.
"Malfoy, I do not see how that will help the situation." I was angry now. He was making fun of me, the bastard.
"Go on, prove it. Since you're so sure."
"Mal.umph." My retort was immediately silenced by Draco's mouth clamping over mine and I was paralyzed. It was as if the world finally had some sort of meaning that I could grasp and understand. The instant his lips touch mine my body reacted before I could think about denying it. My arms went around his neck and his hands came down around my waist. My mouth opened willingly to his prying tongue and when it was inside I sucked his tongue gently hardening at his low moan.
The intense sensation caused by that one kiss was an overload of sensations. It was like no other feeling I'd had before with no known way to describe it. I was in ecstasy and the more I tried to deny it, the more my body cling to Draco. Finally, after what seemed forever we broke apart.
"Wow." Draco said softly closing his eyes and burying his head in my neck. "My father told me that the first kiss would be an experience out of this world but." Draco trailed off and gently ran his fingers up and down my spine.
I stayed quiet and still waiting for the ground to swallow me whole. I wanted to back away from Draco the moment his lips landed on mine but I couldn't and the longer we kissed the more my desire grew. I wanted the ground to swallow me up whole and yet I wanted to stay in Draco's arms. How did he know before I knew that I would respond like this? I knew that I was starting to be attracted to Draco but that didn't mean I was ready to admit it.
"Too many thoughts, right now. We'll talk about it tomorrow, you want to go to bed now." Draco asked still nuzzling my neck. I just nodded my head and didn't protest as he took my hand and led me up to his room.
I said nothing as he stripped me down and laid me in the bed. He took off his clothes and crawled in next to me closing the curtains behind him. I said nothing as he wrapped me in his arms, and I said nothing as I felt his erection on my lower back.
I was too confused to protest, complain, or be civil. I didn't know what was going on and Draco's riddles were only confusing me more. If I wanted some answers I knew there was only one person I could turn too. Yes, I'll owl Hermione tomorrow night. But right now the dawn in coming and sleep is taking me.
A/N Thanks for reading. Send me suggestions for improvements. I'll really appreciate them.
