Chapter 19: The Growing Hunger for Blood
After Harry and Draco's mutual agreement, things began to improve between them and the others.
It took Harry, Ron, and Neville quite the while to get used to this new formed friendship with Draco, Ron, of course, being the most stubborn. But in a few weeks time, the new change between them was definitely noticeable, and word about Jesabelle and Draco spread around the school.
"Hello Jesabelle." Lavender said one afternoon during lunch.
"Hello Lavender." Jesabelle said, looking up from her last minute homework.
"Is it true that you and the Slytherin hottie are going steady?" Lavender asked.
"The Slytherin hottie?" Jesabelle asked.
"Draco Malfoy silly!" Lavender said.
"Oh. Yes, I could say that." Jesabelle said.
"You're so lucky." Lavender said.
"Thanks Lavender." Jesabelle said. "I guess I am."
On the other side of the table, Seamus and the other Gryffindor seventh year boys were talking to Harry, Ron, and Neville.
"So things are pretty smoothed out between you guys and Malfoy?" Colin Creevey asked.
"Yeah." Harry said.
"I don't see how you guys can just forgive him for everything so quickly." Seamus said.
"We didn't forgive him completely." Ron said.
"Yeah, we're just, you know, being friendly. Besides, he's not as bad as most people would think. The only reason why he was so rotten is because of his father anyways." Neville said.
"How do you know it's not just an act?" Seamus asked.
"Well Jesabelle seems to trust him, so if she can see that side of him, then we're trying to see that side as well." Harry said, as he saw Jesabelle and Draco leaving the Great Hall together, laughing.
"We just want her to be happy, that's all, so we're doing our part." Ron said, also seeing the tow leave.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was midnight, beginning another Sunday. Hogwarts was asleep as Jesabelle snuck out of the Heads' Dorm, heading towards Dumbledore's office.
She had been a bit on the edge lately, despite how good things have been going; she couldn't be happier.
But, as she walked along the corridor, she couldn't ignore the hunger she was feeling.
She leaned on the wall, fighting against her hunger. She was so hungry. She knew how this hunger felt like; she had been fighting it with the potion Dumbledore gave her ever since the beginning of the school year. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but the hunger was starting to already cloud her will.
She groaned, her eyes darkening. She was so hungry. So hungry. Hungry for blood.
She heard footsteps nearby and hid behind a statue. She could smell it; fresh blood.
Blake Marshall turned the corner, looking around for any prefects or teachers who might be patrolling. He was going to meet Parker in the kitchens to discuss something. What they were going to discuss, he didn't know.
Jesabelle eyed him; eyed his exposed neck. Its creamy, pale flesh. She wanted to sink her teeth into it.
Blake was walking closer to the statue. Jesabelle couldn't resist the hunger anymore, and jumped out from behind the statue, pouncing on him.
"What the?" Blake said, before falling on the floor, Jesabelle on top of him.
If only she could get a taste of the blood beneath that innocent neck.
Jesabelle tried to bite him, but Marshall, pushed her back, making her land on her butt, causing her to bare her teeth and growl.
"Potter!" Marshall said, not sounding surprised, pulling himself to his feet. "What the hell are you doing?"
"I need blood!" Jesabelle screamed, trying to lunge at him again, knocking him down, and holding his wrists with one hand. It was a good thing that her species had super strength.
Marshall, began to scream, and not the kind of manly scream you'd expect, but the kind of scream that makes it sound like his voice was cracking, he sounded pathetic.
Jesabelle struggled and held his wrists with one hand, covering Marshall's mouth with her hand.
"Stop screaming or I will kill you." Jesabelle said menacingly.
Marshall's eyes widened and continued to struggle underneath Jesabelle.
Jesabelle was inching her mouth closer to Marshall's neck. She was so close, so close to quenching the hunger that had been steadily growing within her.
Her teeth were about to pierce his skin when she was pulled and thrown at the wall, knocking her out.
Marshall got up shakily, looking ahead, and seeing that the man who had rescued him was Draco Malfoy.
"You all right Marshall?" Draco asked as Hermione and Ginny turned the corner, out of breath. They had heard all the raucous and ran in the direction of the noise.
"What does it look like Malfoy?" Marshall snapped, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. "I was handling things well on my own."
"Sure didn't sound like it, I mean, you know, the way you were screaming." Draco said, smirking as Ginny and Hermione reached them.
"What happened?" Hermione asked.
"She attacked me." Marshall said.
"Who?" Hermione asked.
"That question is about to be answered." Malfoy said, making his way towards the unconscious Jesabelle, whose body was face down on the floor.
"She might attack you." Marshall said, backing away slightly as Ginny stood a bit behind Draco, her wand ready, just in case.
Draco bent down, turned he rover, and gasped.
"Jesabelle?" Ginny said, bending down.
Jesabelle's hair was a mess, blood on her lips, her mouth slightly open.
"Jesabelle?" Hermione asked, quickly walking over.
Draco remained silent, looking her over, he had hurt her. She looked upon her mouth and realized the sharpness of her fanged teeth.
"Jesabelle!" Hermione yelled.
"Oh gods, look at this." Draco said, opening Jesabelle's mouth wider, so they could see her teeth.
"Fangs." Ginny said.
"Fangs?" Hermione asked.
"That means, that" Ginny began.
"Jesabelle is a vampire." Marshall said.
They all turned around and stared at him.
"But how?" Hermione asked.
"There's not time for questions, we have to take Jesabelle to Madame Pomfrey." Draco said, lifting Jesabelle's body up, and carrying it in his arms. "Ginny, call Harry, Neville, and Ron, they might want to know about this. Hermione, you call Dumbledore. And you Marshall, are coming with me." Draco continued.
Ginny and Hermione nodded, heading down the corridor.
Marshall stood still for a second then, seeing Draco's serious look, he walked towards the direction of the Hospital Wing, Draco following, and Jesabelle in his arms.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny raced into the Gryffindor Tower, surprised to find that Ron, Neville and Harry had gone to bed early.
She raced up the stairs and into the boys' dormitory, rushing first to Ron's bed, his being the nearest.
"Ron! Harry! Neville! Wake up!" Ginny yelled, shaking them both awake.
"What happened?" Harry said, sitting up quickly.
"It's Jesabelle." Ginny said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry, Neville, and Ron, lead by Ginny, burst into the Hospital Wing as Madame Pomfrey returned to Jesabelle's bedside with a vial of tonic, while Dumbledore was speaking with Marshall, Hermione, and Draco.
"Jesabelle!" Harry said, rushing over to the bed.
"Don't worry Mr. Potter." Madame Pomfrey said. "She's just unconscious."
"What happened?" Harry asked, looking at Dumbledore, who had made his way to the foot to the bed.
"Wait." Ron said, opening Jesabelle's mouth slightly, baring her teeth.
"Vampire fangs?" Harry said, leaning over to get a closer look.
"Yes, Harry, as I was just about to explain, Mr. Marshall here was walking down the corridors after hours when he says that Jesabelle came out of nowhere and attacked, saying that she needed blood." Dumbledore said.
"So what does that mean?" Harry asked, already knowing the answer.
"She's a vampire, Harry." Hermione said.
"But how?" Harry asked in disbelief, "She can survive in sunlight."
"You can ask her all of those questions when we decide to wake her." Dumbledore said.
Madame Pomfrey allowed them to stay for as long as they wanted, and they took some chairs and sat around the bed, Draco holding Jesabelle's right hand.
"Wait, how come we can't wake her up now?" Ron asked, looking at Dumbledore.
"You see Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore began, "Madame Pomfrey here has just given Jesabelle a type of potion that will ensure that she will not attack us lest she wakes up before we plan to wake her."
"You knew about this, didn't you, Headmaster?" Neville asked.
"Yes, I did actually." Dumbledore said, and they all recognized the all too familiar twinkle in his eyes.
"That's why Jesabelle has been going to those late-night meetings!" Ginny said.
"And that's why she's been taking that weird potion." Harry said.
"That's right, that potion was to ensure that her natural hunger for blood was controlled." Dumbledore said. "It was a measure we had to take to ensure the students' safety, so that she won't bite anyone and turn them into a vampire like herself."
They stayed there in silence for about an hour, contemplating this new turn of events, when Jesabelle began to stir.
"Don't worry." Dumbledore said, for Harry and the others withdrew cautiously, "She's waking up at the right time, things should be all right now."
Jesabelle stirred again, a groan escaping her lips, and then suddenly, her eyes snapped open. She looked around, her eyes taking in the whole room, Harry, Draco, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Madame Pomfrey, Dumbledore, and Marshall.
"What happened?" Jesabelle asked, trying to get up.
"Don't try to get up Jesabelle, you need to rest." Draco said.
"But, what?" Jesabelle said.
Then suddenly, she remembered. The hunger, attacking Blake, someone, or something knocking her out. Her teeth.
Jesabelle lifted her right hand and opened her mouth, touching her fangs. She exhaled deeply and closed her eyes.
"I attacked someone, didn't I?" Jesabelle asked opening her eyes and looking at Dumbledore.
"Yes, Jesabelle, I'm afraid you have." Dumbledore said.
Jesabelle sighed.
"Are you all right Marshall?" Jesabelle asked, looking at him.
"Just giddy, Potter." Marshall said sarcastically.
"All right Mr. Marshall." Dumbledore said. "You may leave now. Poppy, could you please escort Mr. Marshall here back to his house?"
"Of course Headmaster." Madame Pomfrey said, walking out the door, followed by Marshall.
"You're a vampire?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Jesabelle said.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Draco asked.
"Because there has been a lot of prejudice towards vampires lately." Jesabelle said.
"How can you survive sunlight and eat stuff with garlic then?" Ron asked.
"I was bitten by a vampire when I was five. Unfortunately, my mother and I were not able to get a potion to stop me from turning in time. I was bitten by a new breed of vampire that was experimented on by some wizards in northern Britain." Jesabelle said. "The potions they used on him enabled him to survive sunlight, eat foods with garlic substances, while still maintaining super-strength and agility."
"So you didn't tell us," Draco began.
"Because I was afraid that word would spread somehow, and people would regard me as some sort of freak. That's what happened at my old school, which is why I came here after the school year was over." Jesabelle said.
"Dumbledore accepted you." Ginny said turning to the Headmaster, who smiled at her.
"Yes, but on a few conditions." Jesabelle said. "One, I must never attack anyone."
"But how have you been able to hide the hunger?" Draco asked. "There were many opportunities for you to bite me."
"Well, that's where the potion comes in." Dumbledore said. Everyone looked at him, and then looked at Jesabelle again as she spoke.
"Yes. Professor Snape was able to produce a potion that enabled me to control my hunger and other vampire senses, enabling me to become completely harmless. The only reason why I was not able to control my hunger was because I had to see Dumbledore and restock, but I freaked out before I got there." Jesabelle said.
The others looked at each other.
"I know it might be a bit uncomfortable at first and I completely understand if you can't accept it." Jesabelle said. "If fact, when I first began to realize the changes I was going through physically, and emotionally, I wasn't able to understand it either." She looked sadly at the others.
"Don't worry Jesabelle; it's just one of those things that we preferred that you told us." Harry said.
"Besides," Neville said, "I find vampires very fascinating."
The others smiled at this and they continued to talk about other things.
~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The others left around 8:00 A.M. to get some breakfast, since Jesabelle insisted that they shouldn't get hungry. Dumbledore had already headed back to his office two hours ago, and Madame Pomfrey was currently in her office, speaking to Snape about Jesabelle's potion. Draco had refused to go down to breakfast and just sat by Jesabelle's bed, holding her hand in his.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Jesabelle whispered. "I just didn't think you'd be able to understand."
"I know love." Draco said. "It doesn't change things though, I still care about you. There is no difference between the human Jesabelle and the vampire Jesabelle, right?" he asked jokingly.
"No, there isn't." Jesabelle said, smiling.
Draco smiled back and kissed her forehead.
