Vampire Love

By sorrow angel

Pairings: Draco/Harry

Harry sighed as he lay on his bed in Gryffindor tower. It was the fourth day since he returned to Hogwarts. He had noticed, even Ron and Hermione pointed out to him.

Draco Malfoy was avoiding him.

Harry didn't know what was wrong with him and didn't bother himself with the thought anymore. He took out the book he received from Malfoy and started reading. Harry flipped to one page that caught his attention. It was on vampires.

Vampires:

Vampires are believed to suck blood from anyone and are night creatures but that is not at all true. Vampires only drink the blood of their mates and no one else. Their mates would not die as the body would replenish the blood in them. Vampires look exactly like humans, except that they are more beautiful. They do not fear the sun as they are thought to be.

Vampires are very jealous and possessive over their mates. They would fly into rage if there are other scents on their mates other than their own. They are also known to kill anyone who dare touch their mates. Vampires love their mates with all their lives that they are will to do anything for them, even sacrificing themselves.

Vampires and their mates will be truly bonded only after they have bitten their mates. Once the bond is formed, when the mate of the vampire dies, the vampire will too die due to depression.

Harry shut the book and headed to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Draco sat at the Slytherin table waiting for the rest of the students when Pansy said to him in a soft voice. "If I'm not mistaken, Potter is your mate, isn't he? Little Dragon."

The vampire just nodded when his mate entered the Great Hall with Ron and Hermione with him. Draco wished that it was him with Harry instead. He was pissed that he was unable to be close to his mate, but he was REALLY pissed at those who were staring at Harry.

Draco could still remember the day Harry had boarded the train, everyone had averted their eyes to him and even some people fainted. Crabbe and Goyle had to hold him back, or else he would have killed a lot of them.

Harry sat down at the Gryffindor table beside Seamus, with his best friends opposite him. He still could not get used to the staring, but tried his best to ignore it. Soon, the Great Hall was filled with students and the feast began. Draco ate silently as he watched his mate, making sure no one touched him. It was fine until Seamus said something and hugged Harry very tightly.

Draco shook as he tried to control his anger. The rest of the Slytherins felt the table shook, and started to get worried, very worried. They all knew that Draco was a vampire and now had an idea that who was his mate. They were all aware what would happen when a vampire got angry. They just prayed to any god that was listening that Harry would be released soon. But the gods didn't seem to hear them. Seamus only tightened his hold on Harry and said something that sounded like 'Harry, you're so cute.'

That was it. All Draco could see now was red. Glasses started shattering and the whole place started shaking. All the students screamed and rushed out except Harry, who looked at him for a moment and also rushed out of the Great Hall.

After Draco had calmed down, he looked at Dumbledore who had amusement in his eyes. "Mr Malfoy, could you please come to my office?" Dumbledore said calmly as he stood up and walked towards his office, with Snape following behind.

Harry walked towards the Headmaster's office and knocked on the door. He had received a letter from Dumbledore on his way back to the common room, to go straight to his office. He had a feeling that it had got to do with Draco Malfoy, since he was the only one who sat there when the incident happened.

"Come in." Harry took a deep breath and walked into the room. There, he saw Malfoy, Snape, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Mr and Mrs Malfoy. "You might want to take a seat, Harry." Dumbledore stated. Harry nodded and took a seat, which was far away from the Malfoys.

"Alright Harry. There's something we need to talk about. Do you know anything about vampires?" Mrs Malfoy asked gently. Harry watched her cautiously then nodded. "I read it in 'The History of Magical Creatures'."

She blinked. "The one from Draco?" She was answered with a nod. Lucius looked at him and said, "Good. Now, you might want to know that one of the ancestors of the Malfoy family was a vampire, which makes Draco, here..."

"A vampire." Harry finished for the elder Malfoy. Lucius simply nodded. "All right but what does that got to do with me?" Harry did not understand why did Malfoy being a vampire had to do with him, unless...

"... I'm your mate."

Draco just kept quiet. He expected Harry to jump up any minute and start saying that they were mistaken. But that did not happen. Harry was just sitting at the same spot, not moving an inch. Everyone in the room was getting worried. Harry was taking this too calmly.

"Harry, are you all right?" Dumbledore's voice was filled with concern.

"I'm fine...it's just that I'm always getting into this kind of situations. Ok...so, what am I suppose to do now?" Harry's mind finally registered what was going on.

Draco moved to sit beside Harry. "You will be sharing a set of rooms with me. I will not force you to bond with me. My timetable will be changed to match yours. Since you know that vampires are very jealous and possessive, I will not hesitate to look for the person if I smell the scent of someone else on you. I'll also have to depend on you for blood. You and I are both excused from classes today to get to know each other."

Harry let out a sigh and said, "I'll let Ron and Hermione know about it." With that, he stood up and left the office.

Harry was on his way to Gryffindor tower when he spotted Ron and Hermione. "Harry, what happened? All your stuff is missing from the room." Ron asked before Harry even opened his mouth. "Harry, Is something wrong?" Anyone could hear the worried tone.

"Um... I was at Dumbledore's office and found out that Malfoy's a vampire...and I'm his mate. I'll be sharing a set of rooms with him." Harry looked at the floor worriedly. He could sense that his friends were looking at him wide-eyed.

He looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, Harry. You're still our friend, although I still hate Malfoy." Ron said with a smile. Hermione hugged him, "Nothing is going to change our friendship." Harry felt his spirits lifting. It was good to have friends like them.

Harry walked down a corridor and saw Malfoy leaning against the wall. "Have you told them?" Draco asked as he approached Harry until their faces were only inches apart.

Harry looked away as he nodded, not trusting his voice. He tried to will the blush away but failed and found that he was pinned against the wall by Malfoy.

He did not know how that was done, but was disrupted at the next question. "Did Granger touch you?" Harry froze. He saw that Malfoy had narrowed his eyes was afraid of what he might do to Hermione.

His train of thoughts was broken when a pair of soft lips kissed his own. Malfoy wrapped one arm around Harry's waist and the other across his back. He then nibbled on his bottom lip before licking it, demanding for entry. Harry parted willing. The vampire slid his tongue inside Harry's mouth, tasting vanilla and mint. Harry made small sounds of pleasure, which aroused Draco badly.

Draco pulled away, knowing he would go further than kissing if he did not stop and he didn't want to force his mate. Both his and Harry's face were slightly flushed, Harry was clutching tightly to his robes and saw that his emerald eyes were slightly clouded with desire.

"Don't worry. I won't do anything to Granger." He kissed Harry's lips once more before holding his hand, leading him towards their room.

Draco led Harry to the South tower. Then they went up to the fourth floor towards a portrait of a female veela with silver hair who was dancing. She smiled as she looked towards Draco asked for the password.

"Vampire Magic." He said the password loud enough so that Harry could also hear it. The veela smile widened as she let the pair into the room. It was done in silver, pale blue and green. There were two couches with a coffee table between them and a fireplace. There were a few bookshelves and a table with six chairs by the window.

"It's beautiful." Harry loved the room, the colours matched with each other. It gave him a soothing feeling, despite all the information he had received a few minutes ago.

Draco smiled at his mate. He was glad that Harry liked it. He led Harry towards one of the couches and sat down. "Harry, now that you know that you're my mate, I hope that you'll tell me any problems you have and not keep them to yourself." Harry could see the pleading look in Draco's eyes and nodded.

"But Draco, there are some things that I do not wish for anyone to know about it. I hope that you'll respect my decision." Draco was glad that Harry had changed his way of calling him, but he did not like the idea of his mate keeping things from him. He saw the look on Harry's face and his face immediately softened.

"All right, I will." The vampire said as he touched Harry's cheek, making Harry shiver at his touch. "Did you like the book I sent you?"

That reminded Harry what he had wanted to ask Draco since his return to Hogwarts. "Why did you give me the book? I thought you wanted it."

"I don't need it. Besides, you wanted it." Draco enjoyed the colour that was on his face. "If you've read the topic on vampires, I'm sure that you know what would happen on my birthday."

Harry blushed even harder. "Your mating season." He said softly.

"Right, so you better put a ward around your room so I can't enter." Draco didn't mind if the ward was not put up, but then again, vampires love their mates with all their lives, so he didn't want to upset Harry.

Harry nodded before asking, "Um... from what I read, vampires would have to go through the mating season once they've found their mates. How did you know it was me?"

"I don't know. I guess it was vampire's instinct. I knew it was you the moment you stepped into the Robe shop." Draco just shrugged. "Then since first year, it was very hard for me to get through the mating season."

Harry and Draco had moved onto other topics of conversation, and when Dumbledore dropped by, they realized it was close to dinner. Dumbledore was pleased with the progress the two boys were making. When Albus left, the boys started a conversation over their meals.

"Draco, will you be sitting at the Slytherin table or Gryffindor table for meals tomorrow?"

"I have to sit with you Harry. Or else I'll fly into rage again if someone touches you like this morning." Looking at the boy in the eyes, he continued, "I wanted to make this easy for you. I have known it for five years, while you only know it today."

Harry was really glad that Draco went through all these just for him. At that, tears started to slide down his cheeks. Draco was immediately by his side. "Harry, what's wrong? Am I pushing you too hard?" He hated to see those emerald eyes clouded with tears.

Harry shook his head as he wiped his tears away. "It's not you. It's just that no one has ever been so nice to me before." He couldn't remember receiving any kindness from his relatives.

"What about the muggles relatives?"

Harry was reluctant, but Draco wasn't giving up. Soon he gave up and told him his live with his relatives. Draco could not believe anyone so beautiful had to live through a life like that. He was so angry that he promised to make those muggles pay for what they did to his mate.

Soon night fell. Draco kissed Harry goodnight and watched him went into his room. He vowed silently that he would make his mate the happiest person in the world.

And vampires always kept their word.
