The Bet Chapter 12: Vampire Kisses, a harry potter fanfic

Author's Notes: So here's another chapter. It's really short but I pretty much just put it up for the author's notes. There were some things that I wanted to say. So enjoy the chapter and please read the end notes. They contain the important information.

IMPORTANT: Yeah, some of you may get the idea that Draco is a vampire, but I assure you he is not. I can see why people would think that. I did after all name the fucking chapter 'Vampire Kisses', but Draco's not a vampire. I'll repost this in the End Notes. But I've just changed slightly the wording of this chapter so that hopefully no one else will get confused.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

******Harry's POV******

I pulled away from Draco, staring deep into his eyes, hardly daring to believe what had just happened. Had I really just kissed Malfoy? It had felt like a dream, something that was only in my mind. But feeling Draco's lips against mine... it had felt too real and amazing to be a dream. I reached for him, grasping his arm, as if for confirmation that indeed he was there, standing before me, and not just part of my imagination. He placed his hand over mine and I felt the smoothness of it, the gentleness of it. He wrapped his fingers around my hand and lifted it towards his mouth. My heart quickened. He tenderly kissed my finger tips, starting with my index and moving down. With each tip he pulled me closer to him until I was pressed against him, his arm around my waist. He put my hand on his shoulder and placed his free hand on my cheek. It slid across my face and into my hair, his fingers playing with the dark tresses. He smiled at me.

"I'm glad you came back," he whispered, kissing me again. His hand tightened in my hair, and he pushed his lips harder against mine.

"So am I," I murmured when we separated. Draco chuckled softly. Oh, such a sweet sound! It was really quite a pleasant alternative to the constant mocking laughs I used to be witness too. I smiled and nipped playfully at Draco's jaw. His eyes widened a little.

"Frisky, are we?" He muttered, placing his lips on my jaw. His teeth grazed my skin, causing me to giggle. I felt him laugh against my neck, but he did not let this deter him for long. He placed a few more kisses along my jaw, each time with a bit of teeth. Then he moved down my neck, leaving behind a trail of kisses and miniscule bite marks. They were getting harder now. I could feel the passion in me rising. I grabbed Draco's back, tightening my grip with every bite. God, this was Heaven!

I gasped as Malfoy finished playing around and bit hard into my neck, drawing a bit of blood. I felt his hot tongue against my neck, lapping up the blood. I moaned softly, pressing myself even closer to the blonde.

"You like that?" I felt his breath against my neck as he taunted me. I nodded, making a small noise. He chuckled. His tongue flicked out again, finishing off whatever blood hadn't been cleaned up before. I giggled.

"That tickles!" I said, causing him to laugh. He took his face from my neck and stared into my eyes, grinning. His cheeks were a very faint red. His lips and tongue were darker from tasting my blood, and I could very faintly see a tiny droplet that had remained on Draco's canine. I laughed and said jokingly (AN: as in 'not serious'). "Vampire."

Draco stopped grinning. His eyes weren't impish or jubilant anymore, but had become grim and serious. I was amazed at how his expression had changed so dramatically so fast. I stuttered:

"I'm sorry! What did I say -"

He cut me off. "It's nothing. I'll see you tomorrow. Meet me here at usual time."

With that he strode off, leaving me confused in the hall. What had I said?

******Draco's POV******

What just happened there? I refrained from turning around to look at Harry. But why? Why wouldn't I want to look at him? I had been really enjoying my time with the boy, and then I had just run off because he had said 'vampire'. What was it about that word that sent shivers down my spine? When Harry had said it, something had flashed across my mind, but only for a brief second before it was gone. I could only catch a tall shadow standing over me before it left. It must have been something I had forgotten. I remembered having lost some of my memory earlier in the year after being knocked on the head by a fallen gargoyle. Now a month later, the memory still hadn't returned to me. I didn't want it to. I had become quite content and I didn't want that memory ruining it.

I stopped for a moment and closed my eyes, breathing deeply. I had been doing this since my first year in the school and it always seemed to relax me. The sounds of the school filled my ears: a few students still moseyed down the hallway, but most had gone to their houses, Mrs. Norris was on the prowl, and those blasted pumpkins were still singing. They were singing in a rather high-pitched voice.

In this town we call home

Everyone Hail to the pumpkin song! {6}

How many times had I heard this bloody song? It was really beginning to drive me mad. It was almost as bad as the coat of arms singing Christmas carols: at least this song was cute at some point!

I put a hand to my forehead, groaning slightly. I hadn't realized how tired I was. I hadn't been to sleep before Midnight the entire school year, and I was beginning to feel it. Alright, I decided, tonight I'm going to bed early! With that in mind, I made my way to Slytherin house.

End Notes: So I hoped you liked the chapter and please, PLEASE read the following notes.

Quote: Right, so nobody guessed the second quote for this group so I've decided to put more of it in this chapter. The song from which I took the quote came from a movie, if that helps anything. So here's what you have so far for the quote:

Boys and girls of every age

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

And...

In this town we call home

Everyone Hail to the Pumpkin Song!

---------So I'm hoping that you can get it now. If you don't, then in the next chapter I'll put up some more of the song until you can get it. But I'll be putting it in the author notes above, so watch for them. I'm going to continue with the other sets of quotes, but this will still count for the third group.

--------Note: I've also taken the liberty to number the quotes so that you'll know how many there have been. I trust you can figure out which group they come from as there are two in each group. I don't know, I was finding it a little confusing. So hopefully it won't be so confusing anymore. Ta.
