Chapter 2: Discoveries
2 Weeks Later… (Tia's POV)
Harry and I had spent the last two discovering everything we could about each other and our powers. We met two other vampires. Well, almost. Huilen was a full vampire, while Nahuel was a- well, a half- blood, you could say. Under the glare of two extremely dangerous vampires, he admitted to biting me. Huilen told us that Harry's in-a-moment blindness could be the outcome of a vampire power. (Remember, they haven't met the Cullens yet)
Apparently, all vampires had one special magical power. I had still retained my shape-shifting abilities. Harry had lost his wand in the forest, but that didn't matter because now he could do as much wandless magic as he wanted without tiring himself out. Not only that, Harry's Animagi power expanded so much that he could shape-shift like me.
When we told Huilen about the strange immobilization we had felt during the process, she looked at us strangely. According to their (Huilen and Nahuel) observations, this either meant that somebody had injected us with painkillers, or that we had had powers before the transformation. If it was the latter, you were most likely to have two powers; the first one and the vampire one.
The trouble was, we still hadn't figured out the vampire power. All the powers we had now were just an extension of our mortal (not me- ha!) powers.
We found out rather unexpectedly…

Harry
It's been a month since we got turned and we're still in the rainforest. Not only that, but we still hadn't discovered our special abilities.
I was walking around the stone hut they live in, pondering where we should go. Then I got an idea. If the Potter family is very rich, then we would have houses in many places. If I managed to acquire the keys, Tia and I could go all over the world without being detected. Or so I hoped…
Headlines flashed in my mind- Boy-Who-Lived is Boy-Who-Lives-Forever: Potter a Vampire! And then, Rita Skeeter- Harry, the Boy-Who-Lived, Returns with Lady Friend or something like that. She would twist our sibling relationship into some kind of scandal. I shuddered. Yes, I could protect Tia from unwanted fame like that.
Ugh. I wanted to be ten years.
Wait. What if I could be ten years old?
I imagined myself as a ten year old. I would be shorter, with no facial hair. A bit chubby, perhaps. I would also be skinnier.
I opened my eyes. Tia was standing in front of me, way taller. Her mind was in total shock, something like this- !
I explained everything- in my mind, of course- and she agreed to try.
A minute later, a ten-year old girl with messy hair that looked like it had been hacked off by a sword stood in front of me.
I was laughing my head off when she scowled and said, "Your hair isn't that wonderful either."
I stopped laughing. What do you mean? I thought. For some reason, I didn't want to talk.
"Your hair is until your shoulders, you know. And it's braided." I touched my hair. Like Tia said, my hair was braided into a single, thick braid. I had to admit, it looked quite strange. It made me think of Mr. Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's father. Thinking of that, I explained my plan to go to the Ministry. Or maybe Gringotts, as land ownership was discussed in banks. (sorry I don't know much about that)

Harry's idea was an excellent one. However, we needed to exercise control over not eating humans. We decided to travel among humans for an year before approaching Gringotts. We took leave of Huilen and her nephew. Harry Apparated with me to somewhere else…

AN: That's it. I know this is way too short but I'm posting their visit to Gringotts next. I'm also updating them both almost at the same time. Oh, and please review. Friendly criticism is welcome.
