Author's note: Hi people, I've been working on this pretty hard, and I
would like to know what you all think. So please review.
Disclaimer: I do not own any thing, except the plot, Lilith, the Circle and all its members. That's all
Also, I would like to take this space to thank my two Betas, IcBlue-Dmoness and The Mystical Elf. I love you guys, this story would be a crappy grammatical mess if it weren't for you guys. ^_^
Chapter 2- Meeting Her
"Harry, we must go to Hogwarts. You will be safe there," Dumbledore said.
He had received their letter, explaining their situation. He had come over at once. Though no students were allowed to stay in Hogwarts, this was a special case.
"Alright professor, but I want to find her. She said she would come, but she hasn't," Harry said.
"Harry, that was only a day ago, my boy. I think you must wait a little longer, after all. She might be trying to calm herself down, after all the events," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"How do you know that professor?" Hermione asked. She had been sitting next to Harry during the conversation.
"Well, with your description, I believe I know her," he said, his eyes twinkling.
"But Hermione only saw that she had long hair. Her face was covered by blood," Harry said.
"Yes, well, there is only one Vampire that I know that has such long hair. And it would seem to me that she would be taking this as hard as you are."
"Why?" Harry said.
"Well, you two are now tied together by forces far more powerful that any witch or wizard could summon," he said. "Well, I think we should be going, don't you?" Dumbledore said suddenly, trying to change the topic.
"Yes," Harry said getting up. "I'll get my things."
"Professor," Hermione said once Harry had left the room. "Do you think that I can go with you?"
"Miss Granger, I really don't think that it would be very safe for you to come with us," he said, trying to convince the teenager otherwise, for her own safety.
"I made a promise to her- I promised to take care of Harry. And I intend to keep that promise. Please Professor. I must stay with him," Hermione said. She had not told Harry everything that had happened that night. She didn't want to burden him with such worries as of those that she possessed.
"Well, I really do think that it's up to your parents," he said smiling, with his famous twinkle in his eyes.
"Thank you so much!" Hermione said and ran at the Headmaster and took the air out of him as she wrapped her arms tightly around his waist in a hug.
"Maybe you should ask go them now?" he asked her as she let go.
"Will do," Hermione said and then went to go find her parents.
********************
Hermione, Harry, and Professor Dumbledore were found sitting in one of the Ministry cars. Harry had on a large coat that covered his entire body from the sun. They were heading to Hogsmeade first, on a short business stop for the Headmaster. The car stopped, and the three riders stepped out. Once they reached Hogsmeade, Dumbledore told the instructions.
"We will meet in two hours here. You may wander around, and for no reason will you enter unneeded places. Understood?" he asked.
"Yes sir," the other two said in unison.
They went their separate ways, as Hermione hulled Harry to the nearest bookshop. After a few stops, they stayed in an ice cream parlor for a while. They talked for a while, until a woman approached them.
"May I steal him for a bit, Hermione?" she asked.
Immediately, both of them knew who it was. It was the Vampire who had saved Harry's life. Harry turned around to face her, while a smile crept up upon Hermione's lips.
"Yes you may. Harry, I'll be waiting for you. And don't forget, in an hour we have to be at the entrance," Hermione said and stood to leave.
"Follow me," the lady said as Hermione was gone from view.
Harry followed her all the way to a small shop. It seemed old and deserted. The woman took out an old key and put it in the lock. The door slowly creaked opened, as she stepped inside. Harry obediently followed her. As he saw what was inside, it was obvious that they were in an old bookshop. The girl summoned two clean chairs. She took a seat in one of them.
"Sit," she ordered him.
He did as he was told to. The woman remained quiet, staring at him all the while. She looked him over as if she was examining him.
"Your change should take a few days. It's starting already," she said.
"It is?" Harry said surprised.
"Yes, if you've noticed, you must be feeling stronger. Correct?" she asked him.
"I have," he said carefully.
"Good. Now, there are some things you should know. Like the things that will take place during your transformation. And you should know that because I gave you my blood, I am your... mother now. Not taking place of your birth mother of course, but I am your blood mother."
"Really?" he asked astonished.
"Yes, I will train you when it is needed. And I will help you with your change," she said, a smile creeping upon her lips.
"You will?" Harry asked, happy he finally had a family that wasn't on the run.
"Yes. It might be painful. I really wouldn't remember, so many years have passed," she said.
"Couldn't be that many? You don't look any older than twenty-two," Harry said, realizing that what he said was true.
"Yes well, I'm about a 1,150 years old, in a twenty-three year old body. I was turned when I was twenty-three in the year 850 A.D. Pretty old, huh?" she said smiling at the surprised look on his face.
"Yeah," he said, then quickly added, "No offense or anything."
"None taken, I'm not the oldest one in the Circle," she said.
"The Circle?" Harry asked.
"Yes, seven of us. Two of them are my brother and my sister. The youngest is my sister. Her husband the sixth oldest. I'm the fifth oldest. My best friend is the fourth. My brother is the third. The second is a good friend of mine, which is my best friends husband. And the first, well, just don't get on his bad side," she said. "That's the good of us."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"There were two others, but they turned to the Dark Side."
"Oh," he said.
"Well, that's enough about me, don't you think?" she said smiling.
"Can I at least know your name?" Harry asked nervously.
"Of course, I can't believe I didn't tell you. Lilith. My name's Lilith Night."
"Oh, well. I'm Harry. Harry Potter," he said.
Lilith looked as if she was trying to remember something. "Potter, the name sounds familiar..." she said.
"Well, maybe because I'm the Boy Who Lived," he said sarcastically.
"The what?" she asked, as a bewildered look covered her face.
"You don't know anything that's happened, do you?" Harry asked confused.
"No, I don't. I have separated myself from the Wizarding world for at least eighteen years," she said.
"Wow, you missed out on a lot. Too much for ones own good," he said. He took a quick look at the watch that Ron had given him in fifth year. Only fifteen minuets until he had to meet Dumbledore. "I have to go, do you think we'll meet again?" Harry said standing up.
"Of course, here take this," she told Harry, giving him a silver ring with a ruby red stone in the center. "It'll become a portkey at eleven o'clock tomorrow night. And until then, it will serve as a protection ring. Wear it at all times," she said.
"Thank you," he said and was about run out of the store, when her voice stopped him.
"You don't need to wear that, you know?" she said motioning toward his large coat that protected him from the sun.
"I don't?" he said.
"Nope, the Circle and their children don't need to be cautious of the sun," she said, and walked back inside.
He took the coat off, and realized that what she said was true. He met up again with Hermione. She seemed very surprised that the sun didn't affect him at all. Once they met up with Dumbledore, they proceeded to Hogwarts. He saw a twinkle in the old man's eyes as noticed that Harry wasn't wearing the coat anymore. He didn't say anything to Dumbledore about the meeting with Lilith, and didn't say anything to Hermione about it either. Together, the three of them made their way to Hogwarts.
