"It's really weird being around Harry and Hermione now that they are together." Ron says sadly resting his head on the long table. You were sitting with Ron at the Gryffindor table one night about a week later from when Harry and Hermione hooked up. Dinner had just ended and the Great Hall was almost completely empty accept the few teachers and students left finishing up. "Oh come on Ron, it can't be that bad." you say kindly. "Yeah it is. It's like im no longer welcomed around, and its just weird because they kiss in front of me, and I just feel like im bothering them.." he says looking up at you. "Look, I've talked to both Harry and Hermione. They want you around, your still thier best friend, and they dont want you to be upset or uncomfortable with it. Anyway you need to have someone too, for when they do want their own time." you say laughing a little. "Yea, like who? No one likes me." Ron says dully. "Oh please Ronald" you laugh realizing you sounded just like Hermione, "What about that Hufflepuff girl? I saw you studying in the library with her the day before last." Ron gets a little red in the face at the mention of the 'hufflepuff girl'. "Yea... well she wanted help with her History paper, and she asked me for help." he says still blushing. "Wait... she asked YOU for help with HOMEWORK?" you ask laughing again. "Yea, I dont get it either... but it wasnt that hard. I just brought some of Hermiones notes and helped her find and look up stuff in books. Thats all." he says looking around nervously. "Uh huh.. so why dont you ask her out?" you ask with a mischief smile. "Because err...well...uhh...err... Allie doesnt like me...plus ... umm.. I dont like her.. so er...yea" his cheeks turn bright red. You roll your eyes, "Ron, it is so obvious you like her, so.. ask her out. Whats the worst that could happen? She say 'no'? So what... ask Allie out... you like her.. I Can tell.. so do it" you say to him sweetly. "Well...maybe I will. Do you..." you hear Ron talking.. but it all starts to fade away. All of a sudden a sharp throbbing pain comes to your head and everything blacks out just as it had before...
It is dark. You feel as if you are falling. A deep pain is rushing through your body, your shaking and you feel cold. You hear distant voices, a picture starts to appear in your mind. There is a tall figure, standing in front of another figure. The taller one is yelling. You cant make out the words, but you know they arnt kind. The picture starts to fade, and everything blacks out again. Now you see a figure running through the woods, dodging trees and stumps, his face has a frighten expression. You couldn't tell who it was, but you were sure it was a young man, you get another sensation of familarness. But for some reason can't place who it is, just as before. Again the picture fades from your mind, and leaves you in darkness. Another picture appears but this time it only stays a few moments, then it quickly flashes to another, then another and continues to jump from picture to picture. They were pictures of the same figure, him getting yelled at, him standing with a female laughing, a dark figure in a corner of a room, Dumbledore talking to three people, Places at Hogwarts, something biting the neck of a small creature. The pictures, and images started moving so fast you couldnt even tell what they were of anymore, and yet they continued to get clearer and clearer as they went along. Almost as if it were a slide show of something that had happend. Suddenly it stops, and you are once again left in nothing but darkness. Then an image appears once again. It is raining sotfly, and it is dark out. There is a curled up body laying on the ground with nothing or no one around. It was Draco. He was shaking, and there were tears falling from his eyes. On his neck you see fang marks, where fresh blood was dripping from them... At first you think its just a nightmare, but you realize it isn't just a dream. It was real, it was happening.. or it had already happend. You were scared to death. Where was Draco? What happend to Draco? Was he okay? What was going on!
"Chelsey... Chelsey" someone says as you feel yourself getting lifted from the hard floor. You open your eyes. "Chelsey! Are you okay, what happend?" Ron says as he sets you down on the table. You were still in the GreatHall but it was now completely empty aside from you and Ron. You grab your head trying to get the pain to stop. "I.. I dont know... I think its just my ppow...WAIT... Wheres Draco? Is he okay..I need to find him! Wheres Draco! Im fine.. we need to find Draco!" You yell with your eyes starting to fill up with tears. "Chelsey you just randomly fainted... you were talking and fine and just all of a sudden you were out cold... it was only for like a minute, but randomly passing out isnt normal and it isnt nothing. Its just like what happend last time... only you were twitching... and screaming, and then you just stopped and woke up. Im taking you to the hospital wing. You arn't fine." He says wrapping his arm around you trying to help you up. "No Ron, I'm fine. I need to find to Draco, he's in trouble, where is he!" you demand pushing him away from you. "Chelsey, Draco is fine. He told you he was going up to the owlery and that he would meet you back in the common room when you got done talking to me. Don't you remember? Chelsey, come on your sick. Somethings wrong... you need to get to the hospital wing." Ron says so scared that hes starting to shake with fright. "No! Im not going to the hospital wing! Not untill I find Draco! He's hurt, somethings wrong!" You say getting up and darting out of the GreatHall with Ron chasing after you.
"Chelsey!" Ron yells as you stop in front of the Slytherin common room. You ignore him and say the password then walk into the common room, it was empty. "He isnt here!" You fall to the floor crying. Ron comes up besides you, "Chelsey... he is probable on his way back from the owlery.." Ron says putting him arm around your shoulder. "No Im not, Im right here" You hear Dracos voice behind you. "Chelsey what happend?" he ask rushing up to you and taking you in his arms. You grab onto his body and burry your face in his chest crying. "I..passed out..and I... I saw a vision or something of you.. and you were hurt.. you were all alone in a dark ally and there was no one around.. and and..." you stop as you sob into his chest. Draco just wraps his arms around you tighter and kisses your head. "Its okay... im okay.. im here..." he says sotfly, "Draco, she needs to go the hospital wing, she was shaking and screaming." Ron says rubbing your arm. "Okay, I'll take her. Do me a favor please, Go tell Dumbledore I need to speak to him and that its ergent, and to have him meet me in the Hospital wing." Draco tells Ron kindly but sternly. "Alright" Ron replys, gets up and walks off to do what Draco had asked. "Come on Chels," Draco says as he stands up and pulls you up into his arms and carrys you. "Draco, I dont need to go to the hospital wing" you say trying to get him to put you down. "I dont care, your going anyway. Im worried." he says sternly and heads off to the hospital wing.
Draco sets you down outside the hospital wing doors and knocks lightly but still has his arm around you. "Draco.." you say but Draco cuts in, "I dont care if you think nothing is wrongChelsey. Im worried about you." "I know, I was just going to say Thank you for caring so much about me... and... I love you" you say softly, blushing. Draco smiles and gently leans down and kisses you on the lips. "Caring about you comes with loving you. And I've fallen deeply in love with you Chelsey." He says blushing now himself, but looking at you directly in the eyes.
"Ahem...What may be the problem Mr. Malfoy?" You and Draco both jump at the sound of Madam Promfreys voice. She had come and opend the door with out either of you realizing it. "Err.. Sorry Madam. Um Chelsey passed out for about a minute at dinner randomly. And when she woke up she said she saw a vision of something that happend to me." Draco says sterntly leading you to a near by bed. "Ah.. I see. And would this vision have anything to do with your.. shall we say.. situation?" Madam Promfrey ask as she helps you lay down and feels your forehead. "Yes m'am." Draco says sitting down on a chair next to the bed. "Draco.. what..." you start to ask. "Ms. Borton, you will have time to talk to Mr. Malfoy in a minute. Right now I need to know a few things. This situation seems awfully familar to the one you had not too long ago. Tell me the truth." she says kindly. You sigh and tell her everything about your powers. "I see.." she says confused like when you finished telling her. "Alright then. Chelsey I would like you to stay the night in the wing tomorrow morning I want to do a few test on you.. oh no dont worry love, it isnt anything serious. If you would like to stay with her Draco, you may take the bed next to hers." she says. "Thank you Madam." Draco says. "Most Welcome, ahh Albus. What are you doing here?" Promfrey turns and says to Dumbledore who just walked in with Ron trailing along behind him. "Mr. Malfoy sent Mr. Weasley here to give me the message of meeting him here in the Hospital Wing." Dumbledore says looking from one person to another. "Oh yes yes of course, well if I am not any further of help, I shall return to bed. Goodnight. And Miss Borton I will be waking you up for your test early, so do try and get some sleep dear." she says nodding then turns and head to her own room the the left side of the hall. "Mr. Weasley, your work is done. You may go back to your dorm now, and tell Miss Granger and Mr. Potter that Chelsey will be fine and I will inform her teachers that she will not be attending classes tomorrow." Dumbledore says looking down at Ron. "Yes Professor. Im glad your all right Chelsey. Goodnight." Ron says and turns and walks out down the hall.
"Now, Mr. Malfoy. What is it that you have wanted from me?" "Well Professor, I just wanted to tell you that I am going to tell Chelsey the truth. I know this sounds strange but... I love her. And im tired of lieing to her. She has a right to know, and I cant take thinking about what shes going to say and do when she finds out. I want to tell her." Draco says shortly. "Then tell her. You are old enough to make your own choices. And you have just prooved your maturity to me, to handle this situation on your own. Is that all you were wanting?" Dumbledore says looking at Draco with a kind smile. "Thank you sir. And that was all I wanted." Draco replys. "Alright then, you have a lot of explaining to do so I shall leave you at it. Goodnight." Dumbledore says and walks out down the hall as well.
Draco looks around the big long room for a few moments. You search along it as well. All the beds were empty. "Draco... what's going on?" you ask with a shakey voice. Draco sighs and sits down on the bed next to you. "Chelsey, what im about to tell you ... you ... you have to promise to not freak out... okay?" He says sadly. "Draco, I love you. Im not going to freak out. I want to know whats going on." You say looking him in the eyes with concern. "Okay, I dont know how to say this to you.. but... well... err... You know that potion that I take every night?" he ask. You nodd your head, "The one to help you sleep or something?". "Yea.. well.. it isnt to help me sleep or anything. I take it.. because... because... I'm a vampire." he says with his voice cracking. "Thats funny Draco.. now really.. what is going on?" you ask slightly laughing. "Chelsey, Im being serious. Im a vampire. Thats what happend this past summer... I ... I became a vampire..." he says turning his head away. "Your... your a vampire?... What... how... when...?" you studder in confusment, "Draco, please.. talk to me" you say with tears filling in your eyes. Draco turns back to you with teary eyes as well and takes a deep breath. "Last summer, I went all rebel. I wouldnt listen to my parents.. I was always doing something bad and wrong...just to be cool. Well.. after awhile my father got really upset... because that wasnt how a follower of voldomort was supost to behave... I was supost to listen to orders.. and obey them and my elders. My parents...well.. My Father is a deatheater... everyone knows that.. but no one can do anything about it because there isn't any proof and well all the dementors are on Voldomorts side, anyway. My father beat me and kept me locked up in my room. Well me being my stupid dont follow rules bad boy self... I snuck out one night and met this new girl... well we became friends.. well thats what i thought.. i never got into anything with her. We would just go hangout and trash stuff, We were really close.. like brother and sister for a long time. Well one night, it was raining and she said she new of a place where we could go and have some fun and it was inside so we wouldnt have to stay out in the rain. She lead me to a really long back ally... and it was a dead end. I asked her where it was we were supost to be going... and she just laughed and made fun of me. Her exact words were 'Have you not figured it out yet? Your not as smart as I thought you were...I thought I was going to have some trouble with you...guess not..' and then she opend her mouth and mad a hissing type sound...Then she jumped into the air and spread her wings.. and she dissapeard... I started running out of the ally but she landed behind me... and grabbed me by my shirt.. and brought her fangs to my neck... and she bit me.. but as soon as she bit me.. I kicked her and started screaming for help. No one came... and she kocked me to the ground... I had hit my head.. and she came down to bite me again... but I pulled out my wand and hexed her.. she flew away... and I never saw her again." He says with tears falling down his face. You gently wipe his tears with your hand. "She befriended me...she got me close to her... so she could kill me, drink my blood and kill me. She chose me because I'm a pureblood wizard.. it had something to do with that.. because she use to hint at me being pureblood and special.. I dont know. Anyway, there are only two ways to become a vampire. Either It is in your blood, your family and are born a vampire. Or one bites you, but doesnt take any blood from your body. Thats what happend. She bit me, but never got a chance to drink any of my blood...If she had taken one little drop of my blood into her mouth.. I would of been fine.. I wouldnt be this way... but she didnt...I had to go and hit her right when I did..." Draco says starting to cry hard now. "Draco, it isnt your fault.." you say trying to calm him down. "No Chelsey, it is my fault.. I was sneaking out every night to hang out with her.. I knew there was something different about her... i got bad vibes.. but I pushed it away.. because I was an idiot. After that.. I told my parents.. they got even more upset... my dad would hit me harder.. and harder... each time. I hated my life.. so one night.. I tried to kill myself... I slit myself at the neck with a knife... it didnt do anything... I cut my neck open.. to the point where my neck should of been hanging ... it just healed... I felt the pain... but I didnt die.. It healed.. all on its own in a matter of minutes. So I continued to try to kill myself.. each time.. it never worked.. but I was addicted to the pain..." he says still crying. You scoot closer to him and give him a long hug, then lean yourself against him and hold his hand. "My parents wanted to just send me off to be a deatheater... and do everyones dirty work... they would of been rid of me, and gotten a lot of money for me. But I threatend them.. and told them that if they did that, I would kill them both. Or worse.. make them Immortal just as I was. My douchbag of a father was actually keen to the idea of being Immortal, but I told him I would just kill him. So they didnt, but they insisted that I went back to school... what for, I have no idea... but I said the hell with fighting them and went. So they aranged things with Dumbledore and all the teachers. I take that potion everynight, to help me control the erge for human blood, basicaly just to calm me.. its mostly rat blood with a few different spells in it, to make it so i can be out in the sun and daylight and a few other things... I can change at will though..." He says and tilts his head to the side. On his neck you can see the scar from where the fangs pierced him. Then he opens his mouth and you see his normal teeth grow sharp and pointed. He closes his mouth and they go back to normal again. "I hate it.. I hate it so much... I cant die... No one understands what its like.. to be trapped day after day.. like this.. wanting the taste of blood to remain in your mouth.. its horrible.. I cant stand it... I use to cut myself too... all the time... here at school.. I would just take a knife or a razor and just slash the hell out my arm,leg,face, chest, anywhere... but you know what... ever since I met you... Ive been happy. I havent cut or anything since the first time I kissed you. I havnt wanted to die.. I havnt been depressed or anything.. You have no idea how much you mean to me Chelsey.. but I can understand if you dump me now.. because I lied to you.. and because... well.. of what I am..." Draco says turning away again. You sit in silence taking in everything he just said. "I understand.." he says and gets up and starts to walk away. "Draco!" you say getting up and running up to him in tears, he turns around and faces you. "Draco, Im so sorry that you have to go through all this. I have no idea what to say to you..." you say with tears rushing down your cheeks, "But.. I do know that I love you, and I have to admite... Im almost terrified of you now...Yet, Im willing to risk it all...and im not afriad...You mean everything too me... And Im not just going to throw all that away, because you are a vampire". Draco looks down directly at you, leans down and kisses you softly on the lips. "Thank you Chelsey, Thank you for caring, for being there, accepting me for who and what I am... and for... loving me..." he whispers as he gently holds you against him. "You don't have to thank me Draco... I love you because I want too...because those feelings for you are there... and they arnt going to go away... Really I should be thanking you... for loveing me... in return..." you say smiling up at him, He smiles back at you and gently presses his soft lips against yours.
