Chapter Seven: Heritage

"Oh is it really?" A voice said from the darkness. A cloaked figure walked out of the shadows. Harry felt sick, the way he usually did when a Dementor was around.

"What are you?" Ron asked.

"I'm not going to hurt you," The voice said, now sounding a bit more feminine. The cloak was withdrawn to reveal a dark-haired lady.

"Selene," She said, offering her hand. Ron and Harry shook it.

"What are you?" Ron repeated.

"A Vampire," Selene said calmly. Harry and Ron crawled up to the ends of their beds.

"I'm not like that," Selene said," While you may have Vampires that kill for fun, we are an older race. We hunt the Lycans."

"Lycan, Lycan," Harry muttered," I know that word, isn't it another word for Werewolf?"

"Yes, but the Lycans are not the Werewolves of what you mortals call, 'horror stories'. These are Werewolves that can withstand nearly anything. I planted four heavy duty blades into ones chest. A day or so later, I was fighting it again."

"So why are you here?" Ron asked.

"To tell the story of the war, and give Marcus here a surprise," Selene replied, looking at Harry.

"Fourteen centuries ago, a Vampire fell in love with a Lycan. The Vampire was killed at the hands of her own father, he saw her as a traitor. The Lycan wasn't to pleased, so he waged war on the Vampires. One thousand, four hundred years later, here we are. Still fighting."

"Cool," Ron said," Why did you call Harry, Marcus?"

"That is his name," Selene said," Everyone with Vamparic blood in Lord Marcus's blood line is called Marcus."

"Hang on," Harry whispered," That makes a bit of me..."

"...a Vampire," Selene finished," And you must pick, Wizard or Vampire?"

Voldemort surveyed the starry night.

"Full moon tonight, more Lycans are being born," He muttered to himself.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter," Voldemort said.

Lucien walked in and closed the door.

"Voldemort," Lucien said," We have Eighty more Lycans ready."

"Good," Voldemort said.

"But, the Vampires have recruted more, they are reaching out to Wizards, we have heard that they have found Marcus," Lucien carried on.

"Marcus?" Voldemort asked.

"His name is Harry Potter," Lucien said.

"Potter?!" Voldemort screamed.

"You know him?" Lucien asked.

"Unfortunately, yes," Voldemort said, calming down," He is one of my greatest enemies."

"He will be the first we crush then," Lucien said.

"Yes, there may be a reward in for it to," Voldemort said," Now leave me." Lucien bowed and walked out.

"You cannot escape me for long Potter," Voldemort shouted," MU HA HA HA HA!"

"How can I pick?" Harry asked.

"You have to decide, if you stay as a Wizard, we shall leave you alone. If you choose Vampire, I shall make you one, and you could be my Apprentice."

"But all my friends?" Harry said.

"You can still keep in touch with them," Selene said.

"The D.A," Harry said," What would happen to it?"

"Don't worry Harry," A voice said in the doorway. Hermione stepped into the Dormitory," I can handle it, you must live up to your destiny."

"Fine," Harry muttered. Selene nodded and moved a little closer. She lowered her head and sank her fangs into his neck. Harry couldn't feel anything and when she raised her head, he ran his hand over his neck. He felt skin grow over the marks.

"Is that all?" Harry asked.

"Yes," Selene said," You must leave everything here, I shall kit you out at the Mansion. Take as long as you must, I'll wait in the Common Room."

She walked down the stairs and shut the door. Harry turned to Ron and Hermione.

"I guess this is goodbye," Harry muttered.

"You guess right," Hermione whispered through floods of tears. Harry walked over to her and pulled her into a hug.

"I want you to know, even if we don't see each other. I still love you," Harry said. He kissed the top of her head.

"Ron, we've had good times and bad times," Harry said," Try not to forget."

"Believe me, I won't!" Ron laughed. They shook hands. Harry walked slowly down the stairs and met Selene.

"All done?" Selene asked. Harry said nothing, but nodded.

"Right, we need to get to the Mansion before Daybreak," Selene said. She clambered through the Portrait and led the way to the Great Doors. Waiting outside was a silver Ferrari 360.

"Vampires like to ride in style," Selene said.

"I can see that," Harry muttered.

"You will forget them," Selene comforted him. Harry stepped into the car. Selene put it into gear and drove off.

Twenty minutes later, they pulled up outside some iron gates. They swung open and Selene drove the car into the garage. Harry stepped out, and looked around. The garage was lined with Ferrari's, Lamboghini's and all sorts of sports cars.

Selene lead the way to the front doors. She pushed them open and said,

"Welcome to the Mansion."

Hay all! Do you think the story is better now I've added some bits from Underworld? Put it in a review!
