Chapter Seventeen

"Malfoy!" Ron yelled. "What are you doing!"

"I saw the look on your face when you left the lake this evening," Malfoy said. He turned and repaired the window, then turned to face Ron who was staring at him coldly.

"This is all your fault, what's happening!" Ron yelled.

"So I've heard," Draco muttered softly. "So tell me Ronny, do you want to live as a human or live forever?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where did Malfoy say he was going again?" asked Hermione. She was a little worried. She'd seen Draco watching Ron as he departed and he had that old familiar gleam in his eyes. Ron had looked very sad when he'd left them in the grass.

"He said he was going to go 'fetch' something," Harry said. "Should we go look for him or something?"

"If he said he's gone to fetch something then that's what he's doing," Pansy snapped. "For you Gryffindors being as loyal as you are, you sure do get paranoid easily."

"Do you even know Draco Malfoy?" Harry growled at her. She crossed her arms.

"Better than either of you," she said matter-of-factly.

"Mkay," said Hermione rolling her eyes. She turned away to watch the entrance wondering if she should go looking for him. She decided to give him fifteen more minutes. Hogwarts was a big school.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I want to live as a human," Ron said, sticking out his chest with pride.

"Ah resisting the temptation?" Draco asked. "It sure did take you a loooooooong time to figure that out."

"No, I would never even dream of becoming such a creature! Especially a creature like you," Ron said.

"Whoa," Draco said, holding out his hands. "Yes, we'd be the same species, but no you could never even slightly resemble me."

"Thank God for that," Ron snapped.

"So your answer's no then?" Draco asked, his eyebrows raised.

Ron shut his mouth and stared at Malfoy quite serious now.

"Yes, my answer is no," he said.

"Alright," Draco said with a shrug. "Have it your way then."

He then took a step towards Ron, whose blue eyes widened.

"Malfoy?" he asked uncertainly, seeing his eyes slowly turn black, the cornea's lined with blood. He backed into his bed. Draco turned towards the door and locked it so that nobody could get in using a charm or otherwise.

He reached out and grabbed Ron's broad shoulders. Ron gasped and tried to move away but found he couldn't do much of anything in his arch nemesis' grasp. Malfoy chuckled deep in his throat.

"Here we go," he said.

"Malfoy! No means no!" Ron screamed, as he and Malfoy fell down onto his bed. He squirmed trying to get out from under the blonde but to no avail.

"No means yes," Malfoy said, pushing Ron's head to the side so he could have better access to Ron's neck.

"You're crazy!" Ron yelled. "You've gone completely mad."

"Maybe I have," Draco said gazing at the strong pulse Ron had. He could see it through his white skin. "Think of the power you could have against Lord Voldemort," Draco drawled in Ron's ear. Ron stilled.

"When the war happens, think of all you could do for your family. Then Potter wouldn't be the only hero going down in history," Draco said, with a smirk.

"Oh my God," Ron muttered. "This is how you reeled Hermione in isn't it?" he asked twisting around so he could see Draco's face clearly.

"No. I just have bitchin good looks," Draco said. "She couldn't get enough of me."

Ron roared.

"You bastard!" he cried. Luckily Draco had soundproofed the room as well.

"I knew it!" he cried. "I knew it…" The second time he said it, it was much quieter and he went limp under Draco again. Sensing he'd hit a chord in Weasley he rolled off of him and they both sat up.

"You're in love with her," Malfoy said simply. "Aren't you?"

"What!" Ron asked. "No! And really, it's none of your business anyway!"

"You're lying," Draco said simply. "I could see it ever since first year. There's no hope for you two now."

This seemed to upset Ron very much.

"You don't know that!" he said.

"I do. She'll find some dashing vampire out there and they'll fall in love and have little baby vampires, if that's even possible in this species. Probably not though… So they'll just be madly in love and have really great sex and she'll be all, I'm glad I never settled for Ron Weasley," Draco said, as if he could see it perfectly. "But you could have a chance to get her if you were one of us."

"Why are you doing this?" Ron asked. "Why would you even want to include me in something like this?"

"The truth is," Malfoy sighed, "it's because they don't want this for you. Therefore I want it very much. I think it'll set them both over the edge and I love getting you three riled up. Besides, it sounds to me like you do want it. So where's the harm in it?"

Ron quieted, for he was thinking very deeply. It was then that Malfoy took his chance. He pounced upon Ron and sunk his fangs into his neck. Ron let out a startled yell, and the two of them fell onto the bed again, Ron knocking his head on the headboard.

"Ow!" Ron yelled.

Draco chuckled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That's it, I'm going to go looking," Hermione said standing up. Harry stood with her and the two of them began to walk towards the school. Only Hermione didn't go in. She instead began to walk around the huge building to get to Gryffindor Tower.

Pansy and Jesamya followed them.

"I've never done this before," Hermione said, placing her hands against the cool stone of the wall. "But how hard can it be right?"

She saw a movement to the right of her and turned to see Jesamya climbing up the wall.

"Are you coming?" she asked. She then climbed further up and Hermione followed. The four of them climbed the wall quickly; although it was slightly more difficult for Harry than it was for the three girls he was with.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ron felt quite different. The change was complete and Malfoy sat next to the window.

"Malfoy?" Ron asked. Draco looked at him, his gray eyes glinting.

"Hmmm?" he asked.

"Do you really think I could have a chance with Hermione?" he asked. Ron's blue eyes had turned into an electric blue shade, quite a bit brighter than they were before. He had a ring of bright yellow around his pupils that wasn't so prominent before now.

"No," Draco said. "She's way to smart for you."

It was then that Malfoy was tackled and he was being punched all over his body. He laughed out loud, easily pushing Weasley away.

"I was only joking Weasel," Malfoy said.

"Well why wouldn't I have a chance with Hermione?" Ron fumed, his face flushed slightly.

"Because your way too ugly," Malfoy replied. Ron lunged at him again, when the door was shoved open and the two boys were found on the floor, Ron on top of Draco with his fist in the air.

"Ron!" Hermione shrieked. She ran to him. "Are you alright?" But when she got a closer look at him she knew that Malfoy had already gotten him too.

"You!" she said. And this time Hermione pushed Ron out of the way and flew at Draco. "You're out of control!" she yelled. Draco was holding her at bay quite easily though and Jesamya got between them.

"Stop!" she said. "Jesus!"

Draco sat up, Hermione still on his lap, and Jesamya standing quite close to them both. He stood up, picking Hermione up with him and he set her down on Harry's bed.

"He wanted it just like you did Granger, calm down," he said. He then sat back down near the window and gazed out.

"You know, you can't get away with whatever you're trying to accomplish Malfoy," Hermione snapped at him.

"Really, because I've been getting away with it just fine!" he snapped, leaning forward. "All I have to say is, 'You'll get to live forever!' or 'Think of the power!' and people give in. That's how easy it is. That's how easy you were Granger!" he said, with a sneer.

Hermione immediately fell silent.

"Exactly," he said.

Harry was leaning against his dresser, his mouth shut tightly.

"I'm hungry," he muttered after the tense silence. He then left the room; followed shortly by Draco and the last two to leave were Hermione and Ron.

A/N: Review to tell me what you think. I should be updating soon on this story. But I have another one I am working on so it may be tonight or tomorrow. We'll see.
