Chapter 5: A Master's battle

A woman with yellow eyes handed a sheet of paper to the Vampire King.

Legwrong took it from her and frowned at it.

"When was this delivered?" he asked.

"Just this morning," she answered.

Legwrong walked over to his window and pulled aside his red velvet drapes to reveal a small lake outside surrounded by willow trees.

He leaned against the wall and stared down at the scenery.

"As long as he lives, no one can have peace. Least of all me," he said to the woman.

The woman neared him and put a hand on his shoulder, "Master Legwrong, for as long as you have lived you have defended Hogwarts and its teachers and students. The time has come now when finally you have to fight. You never had to before. Voldemort never cared about this school until you took the boy from him."

Legwrong nodded and smoothed down his brown mustache.

"He was half dead when I found him. I knew who he was though, even if he didn't. Harry and Daemon, I knew there parents, they were good people. When Voldemort killed them…Harry was with Lilly, and Daemon, who was in his playpen, was with James. We were all so thankful that the boys had survived. Harry went to his Aunt's then I was entrusted Daemon, since I was so powerful I could protect him."

Legwrong cleared his throat and hastily wiped a tear away.

The woman rubbed his shoulder, "Please continue," she said.

"When Daemon was nine, there was an attack on the school. Six death eaters distracted me and Daemon was kidnapped, I suppose they brainwashed him and made him a death eater. The years he was with them are very vague, since he doesn't remember his past. So, I was visiting Dumbledore, and I just had an urge to go to the Black Lake. I found Daemon and made him my son, the Vampire Prince," Legwrong finished.

The woman ran her fingers threw his hair and Legwrong closed his eyes.

"You would do anything for those boys?" she asked.

"Yes," he murmured, "Even kill."

She raised an eyebrow in question, "But you're a vampire, don't you kill already?"

He smiled and pulled her hand away from his long brown hair.

"I only kill when I have too, sweet. This threat that Voldemort sent me…I'm not afraid of him. I will kill him for what he did to those boys, are you with me?"

The woman leaned forward and nibbled his ear and Legwrong pulled her onto this lap.

"Your snake fangs are quite sharp," said Legwrong.

The woman kissed her way down his face and before she kissed his lips she said, "I will fight along side you my darling. They will learn to fear the gaze of the Walking Basilisk."

Legwrong pressed her to him, "I love it when you're determined."

Sherry shattered a death eater that was charging her and he exploded into a white light. She spun around and took off in a run. While she was running she began to change. First her front legs sprang from her torso and she looked like a strange version of a centaur. Then her upper body turned into a horse followed by her lower half. Her skin turned cotton white, and her mane and tail flowed out on the wind.

She rounded a corner in a gallop, now her true self, the unicorn. She shot past Professor McGonagall and Tonyur (who had not yet transformed)who were fighting side by side and seemed to be holding their ground against two death eaters. Sherry neared the bathroom where her companions were but suddenly skidded to a stop, her silver hooves scratched the floor as she fought to remain standing.

There in front of her stood an evil man.

Voldemort had entered the battle.

And he was after Harry.
