Chapter 3- Heritage
Harry awoke with the need to feed. He hungered for blood. But he was human not…the memories came flooding back. Being attacked then saved but Snape and Dumbledore say to turn him. Harry got a look of pure hatred in his eyes. Dumbledore just wanted him to live to safe the world. He became aware of a pair of eye looking at him from across the room. Snape stood in the door way with a glass of brandy in his hand. He was dressed as usual, in all black.
"You must be hungry." the potions master said as he came closer to Harry. He sat on the bed, moved his hair out of the way and brought Harry to his neck. The youth tried to fight but he could smell the blood under the alabaster skin, so he gave in and sank his teeth in.
Severus gasped as the pain from the bit, but of course Harry didn't know how to bit and not hurt. The boy was like a little suckling babe. Severus cradled in his arms until Harry had his fill, which left Severus a bit dizzy but he was fine.
"Why did you turn me?" Harry asked, even though he knew the answer.
"Dumbledore needs you." That was the truth and there was know way of getting around it.
"That is the only reason that need to live? "
"No Harry."
"You called me Harry." The surprise in Harry's voice made Severus jump.
"Yes I called you Harry, Harry it is your name, is it not?"
"Yes but you have never called me that before."
"We are closer now. You are me childe and I am you dark father."
"I am a vampire?"
Severus laughed. "Yes Harry." Severus still held Harry in his arms but loosened the grip so that if Harry wanted to mover out of the embrace. "You must feel it too. The pull of emotions." Harry nodded.
"I fell a drawing to you. A wanting to be near you."
"Yes. You will always feel that until, that is if, we don't want to be around each other."
"I do not think I could stand that."
" Nor could I but it happens. It happened with me and my dark mother. But that is another story."
"Please tell me of being a vampire." Harry asked. He moved closer in to Severus embrace. But he kept a smile on his face. A day before he hated Snape and know he, well not quite loved him but he felt safe with the Slytherin.
"Vampire go back to the beginning to the world. There were three children of mother earth and father sky, or so the myth goes." Harry smiled in Severus arms. He loved a good story. "One was a vampire, one was human, and the other was a witch. The eldest was the Vampire, a woman buy the name of Jasmine deVista. She had a brother, Jacob, and a sister, Sandra. Jacob was the human, or what we wizards call a muggle. And Sandra was a witch. From these three came to three different aspects of life. Sandra, being the witch was able to make potions, spells, and protect the Earth. Jasmine, being the vampire, had the ability to see the future, live forever, and to be youthful. Jacob, being the human, was piety, cruel, and sadistic."
"So humans did not come from Adam and Eve?"
"No they did not. They came from a cruel sadistic leader. But in order to become a vampire they first had to be a witch or a human. So humans were good for something. But being a vampire is not that easy. There are some rules." Severus moved so he was leaning against the head board and Harry was laying in his lap. "You must drink from me for the next month. You must drink lots, this first month will determine how strong you with be." Harry didn't mind that. Thought of drinking form Snape was positively delectable. He licked his lips remembering the taste of Snape's blood. So sweet and salty, Harry started to wonder if all of Snape tasted like that. 'You will have to find out.' Came a voice from inside his mind. Harry turned to Snape.
"Yes that was me." Severus laughed at the boy's face. "We have a connection, so I can talk to you in you mind and you can too, but after some training. The same with your biting ability."
"Did I hurt you?" Harry asked in a worried tone. Severus planted a light kiss on the top of his head.
"Not to much. But you need to work on it." Harry yawned. "Well looks like you need to sleep." He gently placed Harry down on the bed, bring up the covers of the still naked boy. Harry instantly feel a sleep. Beautiful boy. Severus said to himself before laying down next to the boy and putting a protective arm over him, as if to protect in from the world.
