AN: So how many people hate me for not giving up her name last chapter? I'm guessing tons. considering the reviews I got… sigh well I will actually give you her name this chapter. Simply because I can't go on writing 'she' 'mother' 'his mother' 'her mother' 'the vampire' 'her' the list goes on. You will also get some kind of background on her, but not too much, that comes later!
Orion: OH just get on with it will you?
He's just sore cause no one else has said that they like him. :P, anyway. They don't belong to me, I wish they did but don't sue, and please remember that everyone you don't recognize IS actually mine.
Orion: Thank you.
MidnightsRose: I'm so happy you like it! And as I promised here is her name!
LadyDragonWolfKnight: He's coming next chappy. I'm just gonna give ya'll one of him before I go back to Draco for a bit. :P no hating please?
SAXandCLARINETgrl: I'm so happy you think its brilliant! That totally made my day! And as far as I know this one doesn't end with a cliffie. I'll try hard not to have too many in the future. But I can't promise much.
princess kyra: I shall continue! I shall persevere! giggles anyway. I love Vampire!Draco. Just cause its awesome. I'm glad you like
Yana5: Not so poor Draco, he's just got to hold on a bit longer. Please enjoy this chapter!
Last chapter- "It was me or death Draco. I'm sure you'll learn to live with it." She giggled at her own little half pun. "Now to the matter of my name. I am…"
Chapter 4
"Now to the matter of my name. I am Candra. The Lady Candra. You of course will call me Mother. I have been alive for several lifetimes. But now is not the time to talk about me." She waved her hand gesturing that it was not to be questioned, "We must discuss how we are to live and the summer. You will be staying in the room provided for you. Your sister's room, should she ever choose to return to it is right across the hall from yours. You will find young Draconias that we Vampires live in extravagant lifestyles. For the duration of this summer you will be learning to control your blood lust, since we will most likely be prohibited from feeding on school grounds. We shall of course work on the art of attraction and then perhaps fading. Do you have any questions?" Candra finished giving Draco an expectant look.
He opened his mouth to say something before he closed it again, and then began speak. "First attraction? Why that first?"
Smiling his mother nodded her approval. "Good question. We learn attraction first because it is the simplest way for us to obtain food. It is easiest for us to simply have some one want to feed us. There will come a time for you when there will be someone who will want to feed you with out the attraction, but that is a long lecture type conversation that," Candra yawned. "We do not have time to dedicate to tonight." She looked at the clock on the wall. "The sun will be rising in less than an hour. I suggest we both adjourn to our rooms and we shall begin your training at sunset."
"Yes mother." Standing up, Draco held out a hand for his Mother.
"I'm old Draco, not decrepit." Candra chided, but accepted his hand anyway.
"I was taught to always be courteous to my Mother, no matter who she is." Draco gave a small smirk at his blood Mother, as he helped her off the couch, his blood pop in his free hand.
Candra gave him a smirk of her own. "Draco my son, we must be painstakingly polite to everyone. We have no house elves here. My servants will not take kindly to being treated as such. Remember that and they will serve you as faithfully as they serve me."
Draco's eyes went wide. He had just been chastised for doing something he hadn't done yet! Although some where in the back of his mind he could understand why. She must have heard stories of the way he acted at school.
"No Draco I didn't hear the stories, you gave them to me when you drank my blood." His mother was staring at him waiting for him to move. Again his eyes went wide and his mouth dropped. "Draco my son, it is not becoming to look like a guppy out of water. Especially for one of your status."
"Yes mother." He shook his head, and re assumed his perfect face.
"Much better. You shall learn how to read minds later on in your life." She walked to the door. "Shall I show you to your room?"
"Thank you, I'd like to see it." Draco smiled and walked to along side of her.
As they walked Draco took in the surroundings. The main hallway was very much like one of the halls at the Manor. It was covered with paintings of people and landscapes. There were urns in little alcoves simply floating there. All in all, it gave off a very gothic look. He yawned loudly and deeply (AN:giggles as she yawns herself) covering his mouth at the last moment.
Candra giggled softly. "And here we are." She stopped in front of a door, and opened it. "I'm three doors down on the right if you need me. The shades are already shut, so you won't have any discomfort during the day. Sleep well Draconias." She kissed his forehead and walked off towards her own bed chamber.
Draco watched her go. It was still hard for him to realize that he wasn't ever going to go home again. Even after the War was over. He had no chance to ever go and live a normal life again.
He walked into the room and looked around. It was a dark green setting. The curtains on his huge canopy bed were deep forest green brocade while his sheets were a black silk. His comforter was an emerald green satin. He sighed. It was almost like his room… no the Manor wasn't home any more. This is home. Taking in the rest of his room he smiled. He had a huge closet and to his surprise when he opened was filled with all of his clothes, save his Hogwarts robes, from the Manor. There was a desk on one side and another door leading into the bathroom. All in all he was fairly satisfied with the whole thing.
"My son, if you are thus satisfied, I suggest that you retire this moment before you pass out on the floor." Draco jumped as he heard his mother's voice in his head. "Yes mother." He stripped down to his black silk boxers and folded his clothes and put them on the mahogany chest at the base of his bed.
Sliding into the sheets he could feel himself drifting off into sleep. After he fell asleep his heart beat slower and slower, 10 beats per minute, 5 beats per minute, 2 beats per minute, before he truly fell into a dreamless sleep at 1 beat per minute.
Awwwww! Anyway. Next chapter will be all Harry, I promise! And then after that! you'll just have to wait and see. And I'm sorry this one was so short. I don't really want to go into too much detail about what he's going to be doing over the summer. I'm sure you'll live.
Orion: yes well that's cause that's what I told you to do.
sticks out tongue Meanie.
Orion: I'm a meanie? how does that work?
Harry: Cause you told her to make this a Draco-centric story and to hardly include me at all.
Orion: Ah, yes that.
Draco: I rather like it. I like being the center of attention. runs tongue over fangs Can I show you how much I like it Orion?
Orion: drools
Harry: glares
Draco: Ah, perhaps another time.
Orion: I hate you Harry.
Harry: I hate you too Orion.
Do you all see what I have to deal with? sighs and goes off to write the next chapter
