These chapters are coming along better now I think. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews.

Let's see how many animals are there now:

Shadow—Black Panther—Harry

Silver—White Wolf—Draco

Hadrian—Black Wolf—Severus

Piscean—White Panther—Edge

Haven't come up with a name yet—White Wolf—Dante (Any suggestions feel free to give them to me)

That's all of them I think. Hope that helps anyone who was confused about the animals in the story thus far. Oh yeah, can't forget:

Padfoot—Black Dog—Sirius

Moony—Werewolf—Remus

There, that's better. Just couldn't leave those two out. ;)

Night 17: Strange Spiritual Magic

Harry looked around when the group stopped in a clearing in the Forbidden Forest. The two older vampires' had suggested that they went to the forest since they would be able to tap into their spirit energy easier. Sirius and Silver had insisted on coming and Severus had to come to. So the whole group was there and Harry couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Um, Edge, I have a question."

"Feel free to ask any you might have. We'll try to answer them the best we can." Edge smiled encouragingly at his young Childe.

"What exactly is a vampire's spirit energy?"

Dante was the one who explained. "A vampire's spirit energy is just like a wizards but slightly different and it is different for each type of vampire. For us, out spirit energy comes mostly from the animal that we represent."

"I still don't get it completely."

Severus sighed. "An example would be efficient."

"Okay, an example is good." Dante nodded. "I am a white wolf and Edge is a white panther. Any animals that are white can use ice magic and may have healing properties. Black animals, like you and Harry, uses mainly dark magic and can also see glimpses into the future."

Severus looked at Harry as he hung his head. "Is it possible to change what you see?" All of them looked at Dante.

"I'm not sure to tell you the truth but I've heard of it happening. Why?" He questioned looking over at Harry concerned.

Harry shook his head and changed the subject. "Is there anything else?"

Dante gave Harry an uncertain look. "Yes, there's a lot more and since we don't have any other colors, I'll go onto the animals." He motioned to Edge. "Panthers are usually the fastest of a clan, being able to go 400mph in animal form and 200mph in human."

"Sweet." Sirius said with a smirk. "That's fast."

"Yes I know. Panthers are also the only ones that can dream during the day." Dante said with a nod.

Silver looked at Dante. So it's natural for Harry to dream?

Dante nodded and went to his next subject. "Wolves are the second fastest going 50mph below the panther. The wolves can also create their own type of magic, if they have enough energy at the time."

"Create own magic?" Severus smirked at Harry. "To bad you silly panther."

"Don't start." Edge said warningly as Harry went to retort. "Save it 'till later."

Wait, you said that they could create their own magic if they had the energy. Do they use up energy?

"Good question Silver and yes they do. Creating magic uses up a good amount of spirit energy, so it's best to only do it around people you trust with your life and sparingly."

Harry stuck his tongue out at Severus who returned the gesture with a sneer.

"Now children." Dante chuckled. "Who wants to go first or do you want to do it together?"

"What exactly are we doing?' Harry asked nervously.

Edge moved beside Dante. "You're going to be taking your spirit energy and concentrating it to make the form of your animal in your hands tonight."

The two vampires in training agreed to go together. Sirius took Silver to the edge of the clearing to give the four in the middle room to work. He then transformed and both canines layed on the ground.

Are you nervous? Padfoot asked Silver. You're really tense.

Silver shook his head. I just feel as though something exciting is about to happen.

Padfoot sniffed the air. The air is changing. The two looked at each other before looking at the vampires, which three were sitting cross-legged.

"Hold your hands out in front of your chest and close your eyes." Dante instructed since Edge was doing it with Harry and Severus. "Clear your mind of everything, except my voice, and completely relax. Once you have done that go deep within yourself until you find your animal spirit energy then concentrate it to form your animal in your hands."

Silver and Padfoot looked up as clouds formed in front of the stars. The wolf's tail thumped slightly and Padfoot looked at him astonished.

You're excited about storm clouds?

Yes, and I have no idea why.

Edge opened his eyes and smiled down at the small energy panther in his hands. He stood, letting the animal disappear, and walked over beside Dante as the wind picked up.

"What's going on?"

Dante shook his head. "I have no idea."

"Whatever it is, it's upsetting nature."

Dante nodded and looked at the two canine companions. Silver was up and walking around in circles like he was after his tail. He would sit down for only a second before he was back up again, his tail wagging furiously. Padfoot layed still, panting slightly, and looking nervously at the sky from time to time.

Edge nudged Dante to get his attention. "Do you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"Like somethings trying to get out, like your restless?"

Dante looked down at the ground, not noticing the leaves blowing over his feet. He did indeed feel what Edge was feeling and he couldn't understand it. What the hell was going on? The vampire looked at Severus and Harry, both had a forming wolf and panther in their hands.

'Wait.' Dante thought. 'That's it.' "Harry, Severus, stop now!"

Everything abruptly halted. The feelings, the wind, Silver's walking in circles, and the clouds departed. Harry and Severus only got a glimpse of their energy animals before they disappeared.

"Why'd you stop us?" Harry asked as they stood up.

"Nature was acting up and poor Silver was about to have a heart attack it seemed like."

I was not! Silver complained walking over and sitting down beside Sirius who had followed.

Edge smirked. "It looked like it."

Silver growled but Sirius hushed him. "What was going on Dante?"

"As far as I now, since a wolf and a panther were taping into their spirit energy at the same time, nature didn't like that idea to much."

"But that doesn't make since." Edge reasoned. "It didn't do that when we did it together."

Dante thought for a minute. "That's right." He shrugged. "There goes my reasoning."

"Do you even know what caused whatever you four are talking about?" Severus asked accusingly.

Dante shook his head. "Nope. Have no idea."

Silver stood and pawed at Sirius's leg. The animagus looked down at the wolf then at the other's questionably.

Harry smiled. "He wants to go back to the castle."

"Well then," Dante clapped his hands together. "That is what we shall do." He then pointed in the direction of the castle. "Off we go mates, to the castle."

Harry watched Dante go before looking as Edge questionably. "Is he always like that?"

Edge nodded with his fingers on the bridge of his nose and his eyes closed. "Yes." He muttered before they all followed.
