Chapter 20:Tattoo
No on said anything about the incident that next day. They filed into class not saying a word. Scarlet paced the floor. She could hear their thoughts of uneasiness. That's the one thing she hated about being a vampire, she could hear others thoughts, although she tried to block them out. "Who would like to go first?"
Hermione's hand shot up in the air.
"Granger."
She brought her paper to the front and placed it on the over head. Scarlet's heart dropped when she saw what it was. The symbol Hermione had found was identical to the on Scarlet's back.
"This symbol," Hermione started, "is found on all vampires. The fairy in the center of the circle is a guardian fairy. They were believed to guard the vampires during the daylight hours. I couldn't find what the Latin meant." She stood waiting for Scarlet to say something.
"What nourishes me also destroys me. That's what they mean, and it depends on the vampires' origin to what language it is written in." Scarlet stopped letting the class absorb what she had just said. "You're correct about everything accept." Hermione's face went to a bright shade of red. She'd never been wrong before. 'Except for every vampire does not have one, only those on the high council. Very good thought." Scarlet, clasp her hands together. 'Okay, who's next? Yes, Longbottom, come on up."
Class continued like that until Scarlet dismissed them. Hermione ran to catch up with Draco after class.
"Malfoy," she bit out. He was walking with Pansy. A feeling swept through Hermione making her want to punch Pansy in the face.
"What do you want, Bookworm," Draco said as he shook off Pansy's hand of his arm?
"To tell you that we need to practice daggers," Hermione said as she shot death glares at Pansy.
"Fine let's go, Granger." Draco walked over to Hermione and mouthed, 'Thank you'
Pansy grabbed the back of his robes. "Draco you said you were going to stay with me tonight," she said in her whinny voice.
"I never told you that, Pansy. I'm going to go practice with Granger. Goodnight." He grabbed Hermione's arm and mad a mad dash for the Head's dorm.
Later that night Hermione laid wrapped in Draco's arms telling him way she'd picked that symbol, ". . . it's the exact same tattoo that's on Scarlet's shoulder."
"Babe," Draco said as he ran his hand up her arm, " it's probably similar, but not the same."
"What is she really is a vampire, I mean that would explain why we never see her during the day, and why else why else have it," she kept talking. "I mean . . ."
Draco kissed her and the words stopped.
"Mmm, if that's happens every time I talk too much then I'll do it more often."
He laughed and kissed her again. " I should probably get back to my dorm.'
"Draco, it's Friday, can't you stay?"
"If you want me to."
"Yes, your welcome to stay whenever you want," and together they feel asleep in each others arms.
Note: Thanks for all of the reviews. I'm sorry is you want me to write back in my story for you, but my computer hates me and normally I can only get one or two chapters to upload before it kicks me off and shut's itself down (it such an independent little thing). Anyway, kept on reviewing, and I hope to get my computer fixed soon so I can update more. Thanks for all of the reviews, it's the highlight of my day.
Much Love
