Ginny didn't know where they were going and she very much doubted that
Draco did, either. They rode through the Forest and across open land, not
bumping into anyone. Ginny was scared of Draco. He was so different, now.
He was back to his cold self. He was back to the person he was when his
Father was alive.
Ginny rested her head against him and a tear slid out of her eye and onto his muscled back. "Happy Birthday, Draco," she said and squeezed her eyes shut.
She heard Draco snort. "I'll make sure that I'll have a very happy birthday. Wait, I just got something in. . ." Draco put his index and middle finger on his right hand together and pressed them lightly against his right ear as if he was trying to hear something from a headset. "I just got this in. We have discovered that hell has frozen over."
They carried on in silence except for Draco muttering something about naïve Weasels. "We'll go over there to that little forest and find some food. I'm starved," Draco suggested.
The horse stopped in its tracks and Ginny let go of Draco as he got off. He offered to help her off but Ginny refused and got down herself. Draco just shrugged his shoulders and started picking some berries from some of the bushes and ate them like there was no tomorrow. Ginny copied shyly, taking one berry and eating it slowly. She had lost her appetite when Draco had made that comment on his birthday.
Draco sat down, leaning against a tree and stretched luxuriously. He closed his eyes and seemed asleep, so Ginny started strolling for her own pleasure. "Where are you going?" Draco asked, his eyes still closed.
"I'm taking a walk. I'll be back later," Ginny explained and walked on. The beauty of the forest left her amazed. It was so rich in the sunlight. The birds were singing love songs as Ginny thought about Draco's sudden change in behaviour. Ginny didn't know what happened but she had a feeling that it had something to do with his birthday.
The situation was way over her head. She didn't ask for this. If only she had listened in that bloody Transfiguration class. Ginny frowned and separated and apple from a tree and took a bite. Apples were her favourite. She loved the sourness of them and tasting the juice. It was like heaven.
Heaven. . .a place that Ginny wished for Draco to go but he would never. His offences were too horrible and too many. Hell would be more like it for Draco. Ginny was sure he'd enjoy his stay in Hell. Except for the heat of course. . .
Ginny kept on walking and found herself by a small pond, created by the rain. It was big enough for a person so she decided to relax a little in it.
She stripped off her clothes and stepped in the frosty water and relaxed, shivering only for a few minutes. Ginny stayed in the water, enjoying the feel of water against her skin once again in days. She carefully washed her hair until there was no filth left. It took a while and before she knew it, it was sunset.
Ginny quickly got out of the water and stood on the solid ground for a few minutes, allowing the warm breeze to dry her slightly. It only took her a few minutes to dry, but her fiery hair stayed wet, although she tried to get most of the water out.
Ginny put her clothes on and ensured that she had her wand. She did. She walked back quietly and by the time she got back, it was dark, and Draco sat there still, sleeping.
"Draco," Ginny whispered and knelt beside his sleeping form. Draco stirred, yet he didn't open his eyes.
"Go 'way," he said in a slightly muffled voice. Ginny smiled unwillingly but quickly wiped it away.
"Draco, it's sunset. Are we going to stay here or are we going to carry on?" Ginny asked him.
"We'll stay here and sleep. I haven't had proper sleep for days," Draco retorted.
Ginny was surprised by his sharpness but lay down a distance from him and drifted away into dreamland.
*****
When Draco woke up in the middle of the night, he was not alone. The vampire from the camp was back and it was not happy about its timing. Its head was just above him, ready to bite. Draco pushed the vampire away with strength that he didn't know he possessed. The vampire was thrown back with force and when it looked at Draco, it smirked approvingly.
"I see that the spell has, indeed taken effect," the vampire said.
"How did you know about that?" Draco asked and glared at the creature that would have made any human think twice about bothering him, but this vampire wasn't human.
"Would you like to hear a story, young boy?" it asked and stood up gracefully. Draco did the same, but said nothing.
"You ancestor from the fourteenth century was a vampire. You, however, are not part vampire because it happened after he reproduced. He was bitten by my ancestor, to be precise. It happened on a dark night just after a Death Eater meeting. . .
DRACO'S ANCESTOR'S STORY
Venenifer Malfoy sat on a stone chair around a large stone table in a Death Eater meeting. It was England, 1345, some distance from London. On the end of the table, on Venenifer's left was his Master, Salazar Slytherin, who was giving each follower a mission to conquer. Venenifer was Slytherin's most loyal servant and it would stay that way.
"Venenifer Malfoy, you shall have the honours of executing Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw. Godric Gryffindor I will take care of myself. You will all make a plan after this meeting except," Slytherin looked over at Venenifer and nodded towards him. "this Gentleman here. I have already conjured a plan for Venenifer Malfoy."
Slytherin dismissed his followers and Venenifer stood up to listen to this "plan". Slytherin told him that Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff went for a stroll in the Forbidden Forest every night to clear their minds of frustration. Venenifer was to find them and murder them. He was allowed to torture what he wanted as long as they would eventually die.
Venenifer nodded and stormed out of the room as Slytherin dismissed him. He apparated to Hogsmeade and used a carriage to get to Hogwarts School. Getting off the carriage, he walked to the Forbidden Forest and started searching for these two female good-doers that were destined to die that evening.
He searched the Forest high and low, and decided to rest as he was quite tired. He rested for a bit too long because he heard giggles coming from outside of the forest. Venenifer summoned his broom and mounted it. He kicked off into the air and saw two women, one blonde and one Raven-haired. These were the women that he was looking for.
Venenifer decided to surprise them and put the full body bind on both women. Their legs and arms glued to their bodies and they fell to the ground. Venenifer felt his skin prickle and suspected that someone was watching him. The blonde Malfoy put his feet on the ground and started walking towards the edge of the forest.
Venenifer was stopped by a strong hand grabbing him by the arm and spinning him around. A dark-haired creature in very expensive and elegant clothes stood before him. The creature was wearing a black cape, red on the inside which fluttered behind him with the wind. It was in black trousers and black stylish shoes and its shirt was red with black straps across diagonally.
The creature hissed at him, showing off its teeth and fangs. Venenifer realised that this was a vampire as he got sight of the sharp fangs. The tall silver-eyed, blonde Malfoy took hold of his wand and muttered a curse which caused the vampire to fly backwards and hit its head on a tree.
Venenifer suspected that the creature was unconscious and turned on his heel to deal with the women. He was proven wrong when the vampire flitted around him, grabbed him by the shoulder and head and sucked the blood out of him.
He woke up later that night feeling the urge to have blood. Above him was his Master, Salazar Slytherin, muttering a curse. He was later told that all his descendants would now be pure evil. It was Venenifer's eighteenth birthday that night, so that would be when the curse started for his descendants.
END OF DRACO'S ANCESTOR'S STORY
Draco was speechless when he finished his story. But there was one question still in his head. "Why do you want my blood so much?" he asked.
"I was on my way to England to find his descendant but then I smelled you here. I did not know that there was a Malfoy here in this country but here you are. So I decided to bite you instead. Last time, the blood wasn't pure yet, so I had to wait until your birthday. The reason I want to bite someone of your family is because your blood is special after that spell. If a vampire drinks all your blood they will become invincible. All strengths but no weaknesses. It's the same as being half-bitten. But you get other powers, too. Like the power to control blood sucking animals such as bats, mosquitoes, and more. A vampire would have the power to hypnotize with the simple look in the eyes. That is the power I seek," the vampire explained.
Draco got ready to fight for it. To his surprise, the vampire walked in the direction of the sleeping Ginny. Draco didn't know what he was doing but the vampire traced Ginny's cheekbone with his long, pale fingers.
"She's a pretty young woman," he said. "I know what I will do to ensure that I get your blood."
Somehow, Draco didn't like where this was going. The vampire turned Ginny's head to Draco's direction and removed the hair from covering her neck. It sniffed Ginny. "She seems to have fine blood in her. Mr Malfoy, if I do not give me your blood, I will take hers."
Draco didn't feel anything for the girl. No guilt came over him, no regret. "Take her. She means nothing to me," he said. He watched as Ginny's eyes opened and closed when the vampire bit her and sucked her blood.

A/N: good place to stop ain't it? ^_^ Man, I'm cruel! plz review! Tell me if you liked it! Scary enough? Or am I crap at building up tension? lol! OK plz plz plz review!!! I *need* them. lol! OK plz stay tuned for the next chapter!
p.s btw the way I imagine vampires is that is that if a vampire doesn't suck all the blood out of your body, you have all their strengths but none of their weaknesses but if they suck every single drop, you become a full vampire. OK?
Ginny rested her head against him and a tear slid out of her eye and onto his muscled back. "Happy Birthday, Draco," she said and squeezed her eyes shut.
She heard Draco snort. "I'll make sure that I'll have a very happy birthday. Wait, I just got something in. . ."
