Chapter Two: Not Again, Not Again
There it was before me. The dimly lit streets of Diagon Ally standing before me in the very early morning light. I glanced over at Draco but he was already moving about looking for a way to get to his final destination which has still kept a secret to me. The sun was rising and I watching it rise. It was beautiful. I wanted this to be the last one I would ever see. I stepped out from our hiding place and stood in the direct path of the sun. Feeling the suns warmth for the first time in a year. I sighed happily in the warmth feeling my self tan nicely but after a minute or two my skin started to burn like I was getting sun burn badly I heard someone call my name but I ignored who ever it was. I just stood there and enjoyed my peace in the sun. I was nearing my end when I felt someone tackle me around my waist before I could burn up into ashes. I went crashing to the ground underneath who ever it was the tackled me. My skin was burned and it hurt but it healed quickly.
"What the bloody hell did-." I cut myself off when I saw who it was. I thought I was looking at an angel well two or was it three? My eye sight was blurry and I can't see. "Harry?" I whispered in disbelief. Who ever it was smile and I stared in disbelief at who it was. He got off me and pulled me up I rubbed my eyes since from my lack of sleep now blurred.
"It's great to see you again 'Mione." He said giving me a hug.
"Hermione! What the bloody hell were you doing?" Draco yelled as he ran very quickly across the street now standing over me. I stared at him then at Harry but Harry wasn't there anymore.
"Harry?" I questioned looking around then at Draco but he was looking at me strangely.
"Hermione he's in a coma has been since last year in St. Mungo's, you know that." Draco said. I shook my head no.
"No, he pushed me out of the way. He hugged me. He said 'it's good to see you again 'Mione'. He was here I saw him I felt him he was here." I ranted but I knew it was no use. Draco was right he was never there. I looked around trying to prove him wrong that Harry had been there but found nothing. No one was out in this early morning. I sighed and looked at him to see him opening the door to a small inn to seek shelter from the rising sun. I followed giving one last glance and my awaiting freedom from all this before entering after him. We got a room with strange looks from the hostess who was on the night shift for today or was it yesterday? I don't know. We had to pretend to be a very strange just married couple just to get a room together since there were only one person rooms. I hated being alone so Draco understood without me saying it and got us a room together. The room was pretty it was a dark blue color and looked over the street that we had arrived on. Draco went into the bathroom and changed before moving to stand beside me.
"It's unfair." He stated "We should be out there not having to shelter ourselves in the night." He was angry, but not at me. Just at the rules of being a vampire. I leaned against him lifted a hand and stroked his head. His hair was so soft even though he's the undead his hair is always so soft.
"That's just the way it is Draco. I was angry at them too when I was first turned, but I learned to accept them. And you will too.....eventually." I told him before entering the bathroom and changing as well. I don't know how but I was very tired when I left and made a b-line to the already pulled down bed since Draco was already lying down staring at the ceiling. I climbed in next to him and we lay there in silence the drapes drawn but the sounds of the outside world drifting in soothing my nerves. I felt.....I felt safe being back in England. I moved closer to Draco drawing some warmth from him before closing my eyes and letting sleep take me away. Dreamless and black.
I felt shaking but ignored it pulling the blankets over my head in order to push away whoever was shaking me. I curled into a ball but there was no point. The shaking stopped but the I heard voices. One I think was Draco's the other sounded familiar I just can't place it though. Bloody hell!!! Did they have to start a yelling match so early in my morning!!
"Bloody hell!!" I screamed throwing the blankets off me. "Do you have to yell?!?! I haven't slept in days! I was trying to get a couple more minutes of sleep and you start yelling!" Who ever was yelling now turned to look at me. Oh my fucking god it was Pansy Parkinson standing in the doorway to our room with her hands on her hips glaring at me.
"Hermione mudblood Granger?" She said angrily turning to look at Draco "Harry pot heads mudblood side kick! This is why you want to leave me? For that whore?" She screamed looking very sad and angry at the same time.
"I would like to make a correction." I said standing and walking over to her. "I am not the girl who slept with almost every guy in Hogwarts that was you. I on the other hand just slept with two people during my stay there." I continued in a very calm voice even though I was extremely angry on the inside for her even being here. My fangs extended as well as Draco's following my lead. "Now, Pansy dear, I would like to ask you to leave. Because if you don't you may not live to see the sun rise, or your next client for that matter. I haven't drunk in a few days now, and I'm getting very hungry. I don't feel like tainting myself with your blood so why don't you just leave so I can use my storage blood or go to the streets and find someone better hmm?" I said very annoyed that she wouldn't leave. I put an arm out as Draco was about to rush forward for the kill. He's so restless sometimes. It's kinda cute now that I think about it.
"Please? I'm hungry." He whispered but loud enough for her to hear as well. Pansy was about to pea in her pants she was so scared.
"No, are you serious? Her? You'd taint your lovely record of getting better blood then hers. She may be pureblood but she isn't very good." Draco gave me puppy dog eyes and I raised an eyebrow at him and turned to face him placing my hands on both sides of his head to make him look at me.
"That doesn't work on me so don't even try. If you want a taste then I can understand that but you're not going to drink from her. But I'll let you taste her if you'll be a good little boy and help me hunt down a good kill for the both of us." I said glancing over at Pansy again. Draco sighed looking defeated. But I wanted to have a bit of fun first before I locked her in here. I glanced back at Draco and he knew immediately what I wanted to do. He knows me so well. He bent his head towards my neck and grazed his fangs over the tender flesh of the crook of my neck. He bit down drawing my body closer to him. I grunted softly closing my eyes enjoying the feeling of him biting into my flesh. I taught him well were all the veins are in the neck and how to avoid them when not trying to suck someone dry. My head rolled over slightly rubbing against his in this vampirey high. My own head working on its own accord moved down towards his own neck my fangs tracing his neck down to the same spot that was on my own biting down as well. We were like that for a while ignoring Pansy's screams and her trying to open the locked door. We pulled away from each other a hungry blood craze in our eyes. There was some blood on my lips and I licked it away.
"I forgot how good you taste." I teased chuckling evilly pulling out of his grasp and moving towards Pansy. I pressed my body up against hers from behind pulling her arms away from the door.
"No use, it's locked and won't open for you. You're just goanna have to wait till we get back." I whispered evilly in her ear. I turned around and pushed her into Draco's arms in one quick movement so she sort of fell into his arms instead. She was crying and I loved it. "C'mon lets go, I'm hungry. You can taste her later!" I said noting the hungry look in Draco's eyes as he eyed her neck. He tossed her carelessly onto the bed and followed me out of the door and into the hall. I found an open window not so far down the hall from our room. And looked down.
"Aww, I don't think we can make it!" I said mockingly since we were very high up. I leaned out the window and dropped propelling out into the night turning into black mist twirling in the wind. I changed back and dropped in a swan dive landing on my hands and doing a back hand spring and landing gracefully a few feet away.
"Show off!!" Draco yelled from the window only to be returned with my laughter.
"You think you can do better?"
"Watch me!!" Draco yelled getting into a crouched position on the window sill before jumping out sailing for a few seconds before flipping turning into mist as he flipped. He turned back into himself doing another flip before landing neatly on his feet next to me. But sadly he lost his balance and fell.
"Nicely done my young ballerina." I said laughing mockingly at him. I put out a hand to help him up. He took my hand but he pulled me on top of him but he rolled over so that he's on top. He had hunger in his eyes and I knew why. My breath started to quicken as he leaned forward brushing his lips with mine. He's falling for a killer that can't even control her own emotions very well. And to top it all off I'm in an emotional break down at the moment. And I'm in England the place where me hell began. Ohh I want to leave.....now!!!
"The first time I tasted your blood....." He whispered against my lips as we stared in each others eyes. "I.....I just can't explain it. I've been obsessed with you. Your dark beauty empowers me and makes me crave you. Everything about you.....makes me even more crazy about you." He said, it was all true I could tell from the emotion in his voice. He leaned in farther but I turned my head so he kissed my neck instead.
"I can't Draco." I said sitting up and pushing him into a kneeling position over my legs "I don't know what I want anymore. Give me time." I continued getting up and starting to walk into the shadows.
"Wait!" He called after me. I turned and he ran to catch up. "I have to go somewhere and I'm not leaving you alone c'mon. You flit us to King's Cross and I'll go the rest of the way." I nodded and got ready for him to climb onto my back prepared to flit. We flited to King's Cross and he flitted us the rest of the way. We stopped in front of a tutor house with a white picket fence and beautiful landscaped gardens. I entered hesitantly after Draco my eyes darting around looking at every thing. Draco stopped at the door and I didn't notice and bumped into him from behind.
"Sorry." I muttered moving to stand beside him examining the from step carefully trying to figure out where we are.
"Relax." Draco said to me knocking on the door with the antique looking brass knocker.
"Easy for you to say, you know where we are!" I muttered as the door opened and a house elf wearing a pretty blue dress stood before us.
"Master Draco! The Mrs. is waiting in her office to talk to you. Who is your friend?" The house elf asked.
"Lauren, I would like you to meat Hermione Granger." Draco said giving the house elf name Lauren a friendly smile stepping into the house. "Uhh.....you have to invite her in.....she's a vampire like me." Lauren nodded and invited me in and led me into the living room while Draco walked down a hallway and disappeared into one of the rooms. I don't like this.....I don't like this at all.
