**********************************************************************
A.N. Sorry for the late update. Damn midterms are so annoying. Anyway, I took the advantage of a snow day to write this. The chappie came out a bit slow, so I ended it a bit short. Sorry.
Jess16- Thanks, and I guess I do owe you quite a lot of reviews.
Skysong1- thanks. And you do have a rather interesting signature.
Hermionegreen- thanks. J
Shortpuppy- Um, your friend is probably trying to trick you, because Greek mythology, as well as any other mythology does not have a god of um door hinges. Anyway, thank you, and on the subject on growing up to become vampires, well, who knows. With science the way it is, we very well may able to become vampires. *Cool!*
Yisulain- Demons usually draw all sorts of strange attention. Wonder why. Anyway, thanks.
ReflectionsofReality- probably. I can't see how extra long shoulder blades would be a weapon unless you fall on someone. I too haven't heard from Itch in awhile, but her last update did take months to come up. I wouldn't know what happened to her. Anyway, thanks. J
Mikito- Thanks.
Kento- Er, thanks.
gaul1- Mione will be explained very soon. I love her character, so I'm trying to get to her as soon as possible, but it's rather difficult to make the chapter extra long and make it work. Anyway, thank you.
Rocky235- Thanks. About the flesh eating dragon maggots, Draco has the essence or soul of a dragon in the depths of his mind, not an actual parasitic dragon. Also, I find a lot of silly mistakes after I post up the chapters. I cringe sometimes because the sentences come out sounding a bit off sometimes, but if you haven't found them, it probably means that they aren't as bad as I thought.
Linky2- Yep. 15 chapters. Well, now it's16.
Knot2be- thanks. J
Please Review.
************************************************************************
Normally, a typical Hogwarts student would probably have been doing some last minute homework at 9.
Draco was not a typical Hogwarts student. Instead, he was one rather unfortunate student that had gotten himself mixed up in the most dangerous situation he could imagine.
What Draco was doing, instead of homework, was reading a rather strange book on Horntail/V'Rashka mannerisms as he flapped a pair of rather large dragon wings that were protruding from his back.
Suddenly, as Draco shifted his legs slightly, both uncomfortable from being folded for so long, he noticed he was hovering, slightly. About an inch off his chair.
This surprised him so much that he stopped flapping for a moment, causing him to land with a loud thump back onto the chair.
"Ow."
He muttered to no one as he winced. This was a rather awkward situation for someone to walk in on.
Unfortunately, someone did walk in.
"Mr. Malfoy, I just received an owl from your father and…"
Snape sopped in mid-sentence.
Draco froze, suddenly realizing that his wings were quite visible.
"Sir, I can explain."
Draco quickly started, but Snape motioned for silence. Quickly closing the door, he stared at the dragon wings, and sighed.
Snape looked uncomfortable and almost stooped against the door.
Suddenly, he looked up, but there was something different about him. It took Draco a moment to realize exactly what it was.
"Bloody hell, you're one too."
Draco whispered, afraid to anger the now vampiric professor.
Snape slowly nodded, his dark lifeless eyes betraying nothing.
"Does your father know?"
"No. I just started training so I didn't have to follow father. I figured this was the smartest way to go."
Snape nodded.
Suddenly, Draco started.
"Um, professor, your lip is bleeding."
Snape looked surprised as he ran his tongue over his lip which was now almost gushing blood. Quickly, heeling the wound, he ran his tongue over his bottom lip, trying to make sure that the blood wasn't all over the place, when his eyes suddenly widened.
Most vampiric V'Rashka were careful enough not to injure themselves so soon after transformation because the human could still be tasted in the blood, bringing up the vampire's blood lust. Now, it isn't very wise to be near a vampire who's lusting for blood because they usually cannot control themselves and will attack anyone or anything that's near them.
Snape suddenly realized this and bolted out of the room, heading for the forest instead of the dungeons. Whatever breathing thing he met next would not be as fortunate as Draco.
Pretty soon, the professor returned, now not as pale as he was before.
"Now, as I was starting to say before, your father expects you in the great hall tomorrow morning, accompanied by me. How are you going to get out of this one?"
Even his voice sounded more alive. Apparently, Snape didn't feed very often.
"Um, Harry said he was bringing in someone named Tobias."
Snape didn't seem at all surprised at the mention of Harry's, or even Tobias's name. He just nodded, mulling over a few thoughts.
Finally he spoke again, more to himself than Draco.
"This is going to be most interesting."
With that, he turned and left, leaving Draco totally confused about what just happened.
_Meanwhile_
(Now, if this is annoying you as much as it's annoying for me to write it, feel free to throw rocks, or any other pointy object at me. Thank you.)
Harry was just finishing outlining his plan to Tobias, when Snape entered the room.
"Hey! Sev!"
Tobias seemed extra cheerful tonight, something was going on.
Snape nodded back, showing he had heard, and turned to Harry.
"Why didn't you warn the rest of us that Malfoy's in training?"
Harry smacked himself on the forehead and sighed.
"I knew there was something I forgot to warn you about."
Snape sighed, and handed the letter he had received from Malfoy Sr. to Harry.
"He wants me to be there as well tomorrow, just as a precaution."
Harry quickly skimmed over the letter and nodded, a smile creeping onto his face.
"Tobias?"
"Yeah?"
The voice came from the fire.
"We're going to have to call in Amorian. This is turning out to be more fun that I first thought."
Tobias's smile soon mirrored Harry's, and Snape was trying hard to keep his face expressionless.
Oh, tomorrow was going to be fun.
_About 9 Hours Later_
Lucious Malfoy impatiently tapped his foot as he stood in the great hall. He wasn't a man who like waiting, and hell would pay for these 2.234 minutes he had spent waiting.
Suddenly, he had the strangest suspicion that he was being watched with unearthly eyes.
Shrugging off the thoughts, he went back to tapping his foot, vowing that heads were going to roll.
Hen, the feeling came back again. He shivered slightly, remembering that the last time he felt like this was when Tobias was…
He whirled around, and sure enough, Tobias was standing right behind him, terribly evil grin on his face.
Lucious quickly swallowed his yelp and scowled.
"What are you doing here?"
Tobias grinned.
"I'm here to ruin your life."
He motioned for someone to step into view, and Lucious paled when he saw the face.
"Amorian"
Amorian smiled a wicked, wicked smile, showing off his teeth, and briefly turned into his other form. Minotaur.
Lucious backed up fully against the wall, wondering why no one was coming down the halls. Then, he realized that the two must have cast some kind of spell.
Suddenly, he felt hands around his neck, thick powerful hands that could snap a grown man in half. The smell of bull-breath was over powering, and as Lucious felt himself being slowly strangled while being lifted off his feet, he heard a familiar voice curse rather loudly in the distance.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tall man appeared in the shadows.
When he looked up, through his oxygen deprived brain, the thing that struck him about the stranger was the intensity of his eyes.
The pools of his black eyes glitter dangerously, even in the shadows, and they seemed to cut though him like daggers.
"Drop him Amorian"
His voice was soft, but it still could be heard reverberating around the hall.
Sighing, Amorian released Lucious, bowed, and then stepped back into the shadows.
"Now, Lucious"
The stranger walked forward, closer to Malfoy, his every move radiating danger.
"Let's see if dear old Tommie's intercom can work both ways."
Grabbing Lucious's arm, the stranger placed one long finger on the dark mark. Lucious writhed in agony, but what he didn't know was that Voldemort was doing the same. At the same time, the stranger was trying to catch some of Voldy's memories.
Finally, the torture stopped, and as Lucious moaned on the floor, the stranger stood up, disgusted.
"Well, that was a wasted expedition."
With a wave of his hands, Lucious suddenly reappeared somewhere in the middle of the Gobi desert, and the stranger was replaced by Harry Potter.
Draco poked his head around the corner to make sure his father was gone, then walked forward.
"Now, even though that was quite amusing, what did that accomplish? He'll just come back."
Harry sighed, and draped an arm over Draco's shoulder.
"My dear apprentice. What that just accomplished is that now, everyone who bears a dark mark cannot contact or enter Hogwarts anymore. I've basically death eater proofed the entire place. Don't tell Dumbledore though."
Removing his arm from Draco, Harry turned back to the two men who stood in the darkness of the shadows.
"Perfect. Now, if you really want to kill him, wait till our plans are in motion, ok?"
The two nodded, Amorian tousling the boy's hair, and the two disappeared.
As the spell slowly started to fade, the two boys moved in opposite directions, heading for class. Defense Against the Dark Arts.
_About an hour and a half later_
As the students gathered their stuff, copied down homework, and headed for their next destination, Professor Leick caught Harry's eye, and nodded. Harry, in turn slowly jerked his head in Draco's direction.
The professor called over the noise,
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, could I talk to you two after class?"
As the class slowly filed out, the two moved up to the front desk as Professor Leick pulled off her glasses.
"Damn. Even if these aren't prescription, they're still annoying."
She slowly rubber her eyes with one hand as she handed Harry a file.
"This would be a copy of the files from Dumbledore's office on you and Voldemort. Now, what's this about?"
"Thanks. The old bugger's held out on me long enough. He's training to be immortal, and I need to see if you have the files from Xander ready."
She disappeared underneath her desk for a moment, then reappeared with a standard file folder.
"Thanks. You won't have to do this for much longer. We'll probably bust out of here in a couple of weeks."
She nodded, looking relieved, pulling out a strange necklace. Looking into the red gem (not a ruby) in the center, the eyes glazed over, then reverted to dark green.
Blinking hard, she squinted at the glasses, sighed, then threw them behind her.
"I'll go blind with those on."
"Don't worry Cal. If you want, we can send a morpher in here."
She shook her head.
"Hey. I can deal with eye pain if it means being around when you rip the heads off the ministry."
She now sported a dangerous, and Draco suddenly noticed that her eyes flashed a red for moment, Either that was a very serious eye problem, or she was some kind of powerful demon. Draco voted for the latter.
Harry handed one of the files to Draco, and as the two left, Draco turned to Harry.
"What's her form? She seems dangerous."
Harry grinned.
"Oh, she's dangerous alright. Her form is a cousin of my own. It's called Awyr. It's kinda like a dark angel. Looks like one too."
Draco nodded, making a mental note not to piss off the DADA teacher.
"Now, we got to fill out your immortal license forms"
************************************************************************
Easter Eggs.
Almost everyone believes that Snape is a vampire, and it'd have been cool to have him badass, so I made him immortal.
Amorian and his V'Rashka form was inspired by a character in "Hades' Daughter" by Sara Douglass. Great book, really recommend it to everyone, especially those who like myths.
Professor Callisto Leick is a pull from Xena and Hercules. It was a great show.
Anyway, ass kicking half-immortal badass, and later good angel, Callisto was played to perfection by Hudson Leick. Her form as a dark angel comes from her evil demon form and her angel form. I'll fully describe her from later when she reveals herself.
