Night 3: Meeting Edge

When Severus walked into his private chambers, after classes, he spotted Potter curled up on his couch asleep. He had noticed this morning that Potter had drank the blood left for him and was surprised the young boy trusted him enough not to poison the before hand, considering he had enough time to.

'Potter should have known not to trust strangers especially since the Dark Lord is back, then again, Potter always puts himself in trouble somehow. I wonder..... what kind of animal would Potter be.... not that I care or nothing.... just...... curious.'

Severus thought about waking the boy up but decided against it. So he just settled himself behind his desk and started grading papers. He had just finished grading a first year paper when he heard low purring. When he looked up a black panther with emerald green eyes was staring at him. He lent back in his chair as the panther purred louder as if laughing at him and licked his face. Severus gasped and the chair tipped backward taking the Potions Master with it. Once Severus got back up he looked over to where the panther was to see Harry looking at him confused.

"Professor?"

"What do you want Potter?"

"Why are you so jumpy? It was only a panther."

"You saw the thing! Why didn't you tell me Potter? Did you think that you could use it as an excuse to rid of me? Well, did you?" Severus sneered at Harry, accusing him like always.

"No, considering I was the panther." Harry said smiling. "You want to see again Professor? Maybe you won't be so jumpy this time."

"No, Potter, I don't. I have seen enough of you for one night. Now leave."

"But, Professor, I need blood. If I don't get it then I'll kill someone for it."

Severus sat his chair back up and looked at Harry. He saw Harry's cat yellow eyes glow and sighed. Harry watched as Severus grabbed the goblet and sat it in front of himself. He then grabbed a small knife and cut the lower part of his hand right above the wrist. Slowly he lowered his hand over the goblet and let his blood pour freely into it. Harry didn't give Severus time to heal it himself before he grabbed Severus's hand, licked the wound, then drank the blood in the goblet before running out into the hall.
Severus stared, dumbstruck, at his hand. There wasn't even so much as a scar left. What had Potter been thinking? What was going on in that head of his? The main thing that confused Severus was the giddy feeling he got afterwards.

Once Harry was out in the hall he had only gotten two steps when Salazar spoke to him.

"So, you're a vampire Mr. Potter. How interesting."

Harry turned and looked at the portrait. "Why is it so interesting?"

"No reason. So, you can turn into an animal, am I correct?"

"Yes, but, why would you care?" Harry glared at the portrait in front of him.

"Now, Mr. Potter, let's not get hasty." Salazar said closing his eyes and waving a hand. When he opened them he leaned up a little in his chair. "Well, what animal are you?"

"Why do you want to know?" Harry asked putting his hands on his hips.

"Stuck on 'why' questions aren't you. Can't you do anything else besides ask why?"

"Yes, I, can as a matter of fact. I just want to know why you want to know about me being a vampire." he replied waving a hand in the same manner of Salazar.

Salazar glared at the gesture but then smiled and leaned back into his chair. "So you can. Now get out of here. I'll find out later I suppose. Don't be back to late Potter."

"Yeah, whatever." Harry said and went out onto the ground for a night time walk.

Harry had only been out on the grounds for a few minutes when Padfoot walked up to him. He patted Padfoot's head and continued walking with Padfoot by his side. Padfoot looked up, worriedly, at Harry.

*Hey, are you okay?*

"Yeah of course I am Padfoot. I figured out what animal I am."

*You did?* Padfoot asked wagging his tail.

"Yeah. Do you want to see?" Harry asked stopping to look down at Padfoot.

*Of course.* the dog said sitting down.

"I swear. If you wag that tail any faster it will fall off." Harry said smiling. "Now you have got to promise not to chase me."

Padfoot's tail stopped in mid wag and he tilted his head. *Why?*

Harry just smiled and transformed into the panther. Padfoot watched in awe as Harry turned into the beautiful creature. Slowly he looked over the cat's black shiny fur, shiny emerald green eyes, the perfectly rounded ears, and the long slender tail that flicked this way and that. He couldn't suppress the small growl. Harry arched his back and hissed at Padfoot and raised a clawed paw in warning.

*Don't even think about it Padfoot.*

Padfoot looked at Harry, then at his paw, then he cowered.

*I don't want anymore scratches thank you.* he said, remembering what the human Harry did to his face. *Put the paw down Shadow.*

*Shadow?* Harry asked putting his paw down and tilting his head.

*Yeah, I thought it suited you.* Padfoot said wagging his tail once again.

Harry looked over himself. *It does, doesn't it?*

*Yep.* the black dog agreed rising it's head in a proud like manner.

* Hey Padfoot?* Shadow said looking at the dog. *You want to help me get used to this new form?*

Padfoot's eyes brightened. *Alright, let's go.* He barked and took off towards the forest.

Harry let out a panther like yell and took off after Padfoot. They ran through the trees and Harry kept pouncing at Padfoot but the dog would out of the way, bark, and run off again.

*Come on Shadow. You have got to do better than that.* Padfoot barked and ran off.

Shadow waved a paw. *Oh leave me alone Padfoot.* he panted until he heard a dog yelp. *Padfoot!!*

Shadow took off running towards the yelp and came upon another white panther attacking Padfoot. Padfoot was fighting back, growling, and snapped at the panther before the panther knocked him back into a huge tree. Shadow hissed and pounced on the other panther as Padfoot got back to his feet. Padfoot growled and bark as the two panthers clawed at each other both trying to get the other to surrender. He lat out a excited howl as Shadow pinned the white panther against a tree, but then lowered his ears back and bared his teeth as the panther turned into a man. He watched as Shadow backed away and tilted his head.

*Edge?*

The man stood up and looked down at the shiny black panther. "Well, if it isn't dear Harry."

Shadow transformed into Harry as Padfoot followed the example and transformed into Sirius. Edge looked over at the older man.

"You're an animagus."

"Yeah, and you are the vampire that turned my godson." Sirius growled.

Edge dusted himself off and, Sirius wished he had a stake with him at the moment, walked over to Harry and kissed his lips lightly. Harry gasped and watched Sirius walk over and pull him and Edge apart.

"Sirius?" Harry asked

Sirius ignored Harry and looked at Edge. "Look, I don't know who in the hell you think you are but..... who the hell are you?" he asked looking Edge up and down.

Edge snickered and smirked. "Edge." he replied coolly. "Now who are you?"

"What does it matter?" Sirius asked backing to stand beside Harry.

"Well we haven't met and you seem to be real close to Harry here."

"I am, as I am his godfather. As for my name you'll just have to find out."

Edge smirked and took a trip within Sirius's mind. Harry knew what Edge was doing but thought that it served Sirius right for being such a smart ass.

"You're name is Sirius Black. You are a ex convict from Azkaban, wont say anything because I'm not interested in sending you back, unless you make me mad enough. Now, my dear Sirius, I know who you are. Well, enough for now anyway."

Sirius looked at Edge dumbstruck. He could hear Harry sniggering and turned to glare at him.

"Oh laugh it up Harry."

With that Harry burst out laughing while Edge just stood and grinned. All Sirius did was give them both death glares but if looks could kill Edge would have dropped dead, if he wasn't a vampire, when he talked.

"You knew I was a vampire and yet you still tried to hide who you were without blocking your mind. You are stupid aren't you?"

"Why you..... you just wait. When I'm able to I'm going to stake you faster than you can transform."

"Death threats huh? I'm sure Harry won't be to thrilled." Edge replied looking over at Harry. "After all, I am his maker, am I not."

Sirius watched as Harry ran over and hugged Edge's waist protectively and Edge wrapped an arm over his shoulders. He sighed but growled when Edge kissed Harry warmly on the lips. Sirius knew he couldn't do anything with Harry around cause he didn't want Harry to be angry with him. When they broke the kiss Sirius looked over at Harry.

"Harry, there's two hours left before the sun rises, you need to head on up to the castle."

Harry looked at the anigamus, nodded, kissed Edge lightly, went and hugged Sirius, then left. After Harry left Sirius looked at Edge.

"You're enjoying this aren't you?" he said walking up to Edge.

"Why of course Sirius. Why wouldn't I be?"

Edge was so shocked that he didn't have time to move as Sirius grabbed the back of his head and touched his lips to Edges. He pushed his head back to look into Sirius's eyes.

"You have a lover." he sated. "You are betraying his love."

"I know." said Sirius looking away. "If I do this," he said looking back at Edge. ",don't go near Harry. Please."

"You are risking your relationship with this Remus just to keep me away from your godson?" Edge asked unbelievably.

"Yes I am. He should understand, if not then......"

Sirius never got to finish the sentence before Edge had him in a breath taking kiss.

=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=

Remus sat and listened to the whole conversation between Edge and his lover. Sirius had put up the connection between them so that Remus wouldn't feel them and get the wrong idea. Remus understood cause, just like Sirius, he didn't want Edge to have anything to do with Harry. The wolf though was a different story. It was mad at Padfoot's human half for betraying his own human half but could except it if Remus understood the situation and knew that his mat was still faithful.

'Go for it Sirius.' Remus thought to his mate. 'But remember that you owe me and Padfoot owes Moony when you get back the next full moon.'

Remus saw Sirius smirk mentally. 'Of course Moony my love.' was all Sirius said before the connection was cut.

"Snape." he growled.
