Authors Notes: I'm sooooo happy with the way this fic turned out. It's almost finished and I've all ready begun the sequel. It's called 'Living Life'. So look for it soon! I made a mistake, there won't be a Vamp. Ginny, just Harry.Not for long, either.

Chapter 14: Comforting You

When Harry woke up, he realized it must be nighttime. He wondered where the hell he was, when he saw the Hospital Wing come in plain view. He was wondering how he got there, when all events flooded back to him. He was a vampire. One of Voldemort's minions had turned him. He cursed inwardly. 'Thanks alot, Voldemort,'he thought. 'Now I have to kill people to survive.'

It was when he heard snoring he looked over to see Ron and Hermione on either side of him, and then felt something beside him. Ginny had fallen alseep ontop of him. He smiled. 'They must have stayed the entire night,'he thought. He brought Ginny gently up beside him and he heard her sigh contently. He put the blanket over her and continued to watch her. He'd have to kill her as well, unless…unless he turned her too. He didn't want her to die because of him, and if it was the only way without killing her…he'd discuss it with her in the morning, if he was awake then. He knew one thing about vampires, they slept all day and were awake all night, killing people to survive.

He looked around, guessing he was awake for the night. He didn't feel like he wanted to sleep, anyway. He sighed. Everybody must all ready be asleep, and when they wake up, he would be, and he'd never get the chance to see any of them.

Hearing footsteps, he pretended to be asleep, an arm around Ginny's waist, protectively.

He was surprised when he found, Lily, James and Sirius by his bed, just looking, not talking or anything. 'They must think I'm asleep or something,'he thought.

"He must have been awake earlier,"Lily said, noticing Harry and Ginny's positions. "Look."

After a while, they turned to leave, but Harry didn't want them to. He sighed, making them all jump.

"H-Harry? Are you awake?"

"Yeah, I'm awake, mum."

They hugged him and sat down. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, now that I know my life will never be the same again,"Harry said sarcastically. "Peachy."

They rolled their eyes.

"How are you feeling?"Lily asked again.

"Horrible."

"You -do- know…right?"Lily asked. He nodded. He knew he was a Vampire.

"There is a way…to 'live again' and not kill people to survive,"Dumbledore said upon entering the Hospital Wing.

"How?"Harry asked. He felt Ginny stir beside him, but she went back to sleep.

"A spell,"Dumbledore replied. "Though it is a powerful one."

"What will it do?"Lily asked.

"It will cure him of his vampirish-state, and he will no longer be of the dark,"Dumbledore replied.

"I always thought there would be a catch to these things,"Harry said.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, saving someone. In the muggle world, in movies, usually to save one they sacrifice one,"Harry replied.

"No, that will not be required here,"Dumbledore said, making Harry sigh in relief. He didn't want to sacrifice anybody for his life. Let him stay a vampire if it came to that.

"When you are able to leave the Hospital Wing, Harry,"Dumbledore started. "Come up to my office and I will do the spell."

Harry nodded and he walked off.

It had been a while and everyone left except Ron, Hermione and Ginny. None of them had woken up, and it was almost morning. He sighed. Knowing him in his vampirisih state, he would be asleep when they woke up.

"Harry?"

He jumped. Having heard Ginny's voice startled him. He looked at her and realized she was awake, rubbing her eyes. "What time is it?"

Harry looked at the clock. "It's 4am. Why are you awake, Gin?"

"Couldn't fall asleep."

"You've been awake for a while? How come you didn't tell me?"

"N-No reason…"

"Did you hear the conversation?"Harry asked.

"That's what woke me up,"Ginny replied. "I'm so happy you don't have to be like this forever."

"Me too, Ginny. Me too. Why don't you try and get some sleep? I'll be here when you get up, though I probably won't be awake,"Harry said.

"That is why I want to stay awake now, so I can talk to you instead of having to wait until night again to do so,"Ginny replied.

Harry nodded. By then it was 4:30am, and they fell into a comfortable silence, not realizing that Ron and Hermione were awake and heard their entire conversation.
