Chapter 4: Where's Ron?
Harry bounded out of bed and hopped around the dorm. He looked this way and that trying to find his robes as he was running late. It was a Monday and classes began in ten minutes. Like normal Harry slept in on the days he couldn't afford to be late. Potions class days. He looked around and saw that everyone was out of bed except for Ron. Ron's bed hangings were closed tightly and Harry didn't think Ron was in there.
"Ron! Oy, Ron! Get up! Potions."
There was no reply
"RON!"
Again nothing. Harry, getting fed up went to Ron's bed, pulled back the hangings and walked up to the bed to find no one there. Harry rolled his eyes. Ron must have already gone to classes. Harry sped out of the dormitory and made it to potions with barely seconds to spare.
As he looked around, Hermione gave him a curious glance and mouthed, "Where's Ron" Harry gave a little shrug. Where was Ron?
Albus Dumbledore wearily stoked his beard in his office. It wasn't everyday when one of your students was turned into a vampire. He contemplated the complications of this. A vampire. A dark creature. How could he allow another vampire into Hogwarts. The parents, if they found out, wouldn't allow it. But he couldn't just kick Ronald Weasley out. Also, he was Harry Potter's friend. If others were to find out and the information leak back to Voldemort... Dumbledore could only sigh. Ron could turn against him without him even knowing it.
The sun streamed across the dorm reaching the end of the bedpost ending in a brilliant light. The light only being blocked out by curtains that surrounded a bed in the room. Inside, a sleeping figure lay peacefully only to awake hours later.
A figure walked into the room stroking his beard ever so slowly. He stopped and watched the sun as it passed through the dorm, shedding light to what could have been a very dark room. His gaze fell upon the unopened bed, which lay dormant. He neared and opened the curtains to find nothing.
"Clever. No one would know he is here. You know what you are doing I give you that." The old man mumbled to himself.
He crept around and sat stealthily on a chair. He gave a mighty sigh.
"Ron Weasley. What have you got yourself into. This is way over your head. If only my students would listen to me and stay away from the forest."
He got up and paced around the room. After thinking a while, he made his way to the door. On the way, placing a book on the dresser.
"Ronald Weasley, I give you my blessing. I hope that you will be able to handle this and not let it take over you. No I mustn't allow that. You will remain and much learning has to be done."
With that, in one flowing motion, he swept out of the room and headed down the stairs.
Harry and Hermione left potions class. On the way out, they were stopped by none other than Severus Snape.
"And pray tell me where Mr. Weasley is. "
"I am not sure sir." Harry replied nonchalantly
"Is that so... well when he is found do you think detention and thirty points off Gryffindor is appropriate?"
Harry tried to keep his cool. Hermione was silent.
Harry just stared Snape in the eye and promptly walked away down the hall.
"Hermione, I think we should see Dumbledore. Ron was kind of upset with me yesterday morning and I am worried."
"Yeah. He was upset with me yesterday too. Oh my!!! He ran out the doors after we talked.!"
"What did you say?"
"Uh, er nothing its just.. we have to find him. He may be hurt or in trouble."
"Ron's a big boy, he can take care of himself. It's not like he would let someone hurt him."
At that moment Albus Dumbledore was strolling through the halls.
"Professor! Have you seen Ron? He wasn't in his dorm this morning and wasn't in class. Is he okay?" Harry asked
"Yes Mr. Potter, Miss. Granger, Mr. Weasley is fine. Today we had decided for him to do his career information day. It found much benefit as he was eager to get out of Potions class."
"Wasn't it Neville's day?" Hermione asked thoughtfully.
Dumbledore thought back to the morning.
Flashback
Mr. Weasley's absence will be missed. Ah there is a solution. Neville Longbottom had walked by.
"Ah Mr. Longbottom... lovely day isn't it." "Er yes sir I guess."
"I believe it was your career day today correct?"
"Yes sir."
"I was wondering if I could switch you to next week and let Mr. Weasley do it today as a special instructor has come for him and could only make it today." Dumbledore said eyes twinkling.
"I guess that would be fine."
"Splendid! Have a great day Mr. Longbottom."
End Flashback
"Yes, although he gladly switched as a special instructor came for Mr. Weasley today."
"Oh."
"Mr. Weasley won't be in class today but should be back tomorrow."
"Okay professor."
Harry and Hermione satisfied with the answer walked on.
Dumbledore hummed softly to himself preparing for the evening, which should be eventful. Sundown happened to be at 6 that night and he would have to be prepared to greet his guest and help young Mr. Weasley.
The rest of the day was rather uneventful. Harry and Hermione went to classes and meals while unbeknown to everyone, Ronald Weasley slept in his bed.
As the clock struck six and the sun began to go down, a figure crept stealthily from the forest. It made its way to the castle and entered silently. It crept up the many staircases to the Gryffindor common room. The fat lady asked for the password and the figure gave it. The figure made its way into the sixth year boy's dorm thankful for it being dinnertime. There were no students around. As it entered the dorm, a figure began to stir on a bed.
A loud groan was heard from inside the bed hangings.
The figure grinned happily and waited patiently for her childe to wake up. "My head." Ron groaned. "And bloody hell, its sundown already. I missed all the classes today. Thank you Harry and Hermione. I will be in so much trouble."
He then made his way out of bed and groggily headed to the bathroom.
It was silent for a few minutes when a great scream was heard. Again, the figure thanked the fact that it was dinnertime.
Ron ran back into the dorm only to stop frozen in his tracks when he saw the person there.
"What's going on?" said Ron shakily.
As she looked at him, she could see the changes greatly. His hair no longer vibrant orange, was black with the remains of some orange hair to give it natural highlights. It was shorter and gelled gently to give it a messy look. His eyes once a pale blue were black, with hints of red in the inside. His body was pale and the freckles had disappeared. He seemed to be taller but not by much since he was pretty tall already. And lastly of course, in his mouth two fanged canines were clearly visible in his gaping mouth.
She had picked a brilliant specimen to create beauty.
"I apologize my childe. My name is Darlena Starborough. (star-berr-oh). Tonight I have come to explain all. As you may recall, you had been fleeing to the forest in times of deep sorrow. I had been watching you then. Such power you had! As you returned last night to the forest, and yes you have been asleep a whole day, I came out to talk to you. Of course, I had decided that you were the one to become mine. My childe. As you agreed to want power, I carefully turned you and well, look at you now!" Darlena said with pride in her face.
"Turned me? Turned me into what?" said Ron timidly as though he didn't want the answer.
"A vampire, like me."
"No, no... it can't be true... I am not... could not be...."
"But my childe, you are...and I say it has been an improvement. Have you had a good look at yourself?"
"I no...I'm a vampire?"
"Yes."
"You mean.... No sun, garlic, steaks..............blood?"
With a sigh she continued. He was taking this rather well. "Well, you see, I am what your world calls a wizarding vamp. Yes, that means I went to Hogwarts. I was a great friend with Rowena, Helga, Salazar, and Godric by the way but that is a different matter. A story to be told some other day. Now, where was I? Ah yes. Myself, and now you are the kinds of vampires who are typical of novels. With some changes of course. Sadly, we cannot be out in the sun. We aren't affected by garlic or crosses though. That is the good thing. Although, about the sun, there is a good thing. They have made many things for vampires in the wizarding community although they dislike vampires. For example, blood pops. Every heard of those?"
"Yes... I thought they were just a joke though."
"No. They are real blood. They are actually made for vampires although many others buy them as jokes. For the sun, there have been cloaks made that shield you from it. The problem is that you may not always cover everywhere. When buying cloaks, I advise you to ask for the brand of worthweth because it is the cloak that will protect you. You will get strange looks when asking but what can you do. I have a few for you now because you wont be able to leave."
With that she handed him four cloaks.
"And... blood?"
"Yes, blood is another thing that is a must. As you are newly turned, I have a feeling you may need it at every meal for the next week. After that, I think once a day should suffice, in the morning if you want to look good. Blood renews energy and strength. It also allows you to look more human. You also will require less sleep and I recommend not sleeping as much as oversleeping is quite annoying don't you agree?"
"Er..."
"Of course. Those are the basics. And I shall have to give you some sort of training tonight and tomorrow since we cant have a newly turned vamp running wildly throughout the school can we?"
"No... er what are you training me?"
"Oh don't worry. Just easy things like controlling your vamp side, attacking, keeping your temper, hiding your vamp features, etc... the list goes on and on. And now I believe we have a visitor" Darlena said without turning.
Sure enough, at the doorway was Albus Dumbledore.
"Ah, Albus. So glad of you to join us. I just explained the basics to him. I will be taking him to train tomorrow and tonight if that is alright?" She basically told him with a red glint in her eye that dared him to challenge her.
"Of course. I have left some reading material for you Mr. Weasley on your desk. Feel free to read it at some point. Now, ms. Starborough, I had not known that you were in town. I am disappointed in you to turn a student."
"Albus, he was coming into the forest with such power and anger! He deserved to be mine. Plus, I have had my eye set on him for a while now... Since he first entered the forest a few years ago. Visiting some spiders I believe..."
Ron had the decency to look embarrassed.
"I see. Well, I must ask that you watch over him and train him well. We can't very well let him go over."
"I understand what you are saying Albus. Now, where might I have a room to stay?"
"Near the astronomy tower. Picture of a woman knitting. Password is Unforgiving."
Darlena looked at Albus before grinning and mumbling things about knowing too much. "Okay, Ron my child, I will give you some time to clear your mind and think. In that time I believe Albus left you some information to read. Please proceed in reading that. I will be heading to my room to set up some things. After you are done, please proceed to my room. Good evening Albus." With that she swept out of the room.
"I am sorry Mr.Weasley. I hope you can cope. And remember, those who keep their minds in stressful times are those who can reach the light. I believe you have reading to do." And Albus Dumbledore lazily walked out of the room.
"Bloody hell.... What did I get myself into?
Wow! I feel proud. Finally got a chapter out! Sorry guys for the wait just I am lazy again. I plan to get more chapters out of my other stories but I am going to camp for 5 weeks this summer so don't expect much... lol
