A/N: I just want to add that this story has nothing to do with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child or any other Harry Potter spin off after the first seven books. Enjoy.

Dracka looked around his Coven with Bradon beside him and his thoughts a hundred miles away.

"Are you okay, Rolf?" Bradon asked from beside him.

"Hmm?" Dracka muttered as he turned to the man.

"Are you okay?" Bradon repeated.

Dracka sighed and ran a hand over his head as he looked back at the two vampires sparing.

"I don't know," Dracka admitted.

He was torn as he watched the vampires. He'd run his Coven since Blake killed his brother and now he couldn't tear his thoughts away from the man and his lover. Bradon laid a hand on his arm and he could feel Liam tense beside him but Bradon just flashed his fangs at the younger vampire. Liam quickly tilted his head to the side and looked away.

He'd had to put the younger vampire in his place a few times after coming back smelling of Severus's magic. He hadn't bothered removing it from his skin and was just letting it wear off. He hadn't noticed until then how draining vampire culture could be. He had spent so much time with wizards, while he'd worked at Hogwarts, that he had forgotten how demanding it could be. Since, he had been born to vampire life he hadn't noticed until he'd spent time away from them.

It wasn't the first time that Dracka had smelt of another person's magic or Liam had. He could smell Alice's scent on him now. Vampires by nature were not restricted to one lover until they decide to be and as the leader of the Coven, Dracka had a right. He was the highest standing vampire in the Coven, everyone else fell under him.

He had moved back to his Coven roughly two years ago after Severus and Blake had decided to leave Hogwarts. The two men had offered for him to stay with them, but he'd refused as he moved back to France. Now looking around he was rethinking that. It had taken almost losing them for him to realise his feelings and the offer they had made was very tempting.

He hadn't been expecting it after how long he'd known Blake and Severus. Not to mention the amount of times that Blake had made his thoughts clear on how he felt and Dracka had respected that. They would both live long lives and Dracka hadn't wanted to push him. Now they were both offering him something that he had thought wouldn't be on the table. Dracka wasn't sure what was making him hesitant.

"How's Blake?" Bradon asked after a few minutes.

Liam growled and before Dracka could think; he had the younger vampire by the throat. He pulled him out of his chair with a snarl of his own. His eyes shone red and everything stopped around him. Liam looked at him with wide blue eyes as he wrapped his hands around his arm. Alice placed her hand on his arm and Dracka growled and flashed his fangs at her. She stepped back quickly but her eyes were like steel and he released Liam. The man fell back on his ass as he looked up at Dracka and tilted his head to the side and whimpered.

Dracka turned on his heels and left the silent hall. He stalked down the hallway to his rooms ignoring everything else around him. He slammed his door shut behind him as he grabbed his head briefly before with a snarl he picked up an ink well from his table. He threw it towards the wall and it shattered into a hundred pieces. He watched as the ink splattered over the wall and floor as the demon in him raged.

"Rolf?"

Dracka turned on Bradon with a snarl and the older vampire just looked at him blandly as he leaned up against his closed door. Dracka sighed and tried to control his demon.

"What's going on?" Bradon asked. "You come back here smelling of Severus's magic after being called away by Harry Potter about his father. What happened?"

"Blake was captured," Dracka explained. "Severus was shot and almost died. We found Blake…"

"Did they kill him?" Bradon questioned.

"Yes," Dracka confirmed. "A few times. They were after the Deathly Hallows."

Bradon sucked in a breath as he moved closer, his eyes shining red. Blake was one of them and not just because he fell under the Treaty.

"Did you find them all?" Bradon asked.

"No," Dracka replied with a sigh and Bradon frowned.

"Then why are you here?"

Dracka stilled and looked at the other vampire.

"You should be with them," Bradon prompted. "If they were both injured to that degree, they need you. Has this got something to do with you smelling of Severus's magic? Blake?"

Dracka threw himself into one of his armchairs and grabbed his head as his thoughts kept going around and around in his head.

"You haven't been happy since you came back from Hogwarts," Bradon stated as he knelt in front of him. "You never wanted to be leader of this Coven, you only stepped forward in memory of your brother."

Dracka looked up and into the other vampire's eyes and sighed. Bradon placed his hands on his thighs and gave him a slight smile.

"They offered me a place beside them," Dracka confessed.

Bradon sucked in a breath with wide eyes.

"Severus…and Blake?" Bradon whispered.

"Yes," Dracka confirmed.

"And you left them undefended," Bradon hissed, his eyes flashing.

Dracka's eyes widened as he looked at the vampire before him then he cursed, making Bradon bark a laugh.

"You have been gone too long, Rolf." Bradon laughed. "The wizards have changed you."

Dracka grabbed the daylight pendant around his neck, feeling Blake's light magic under the cover on it. Bradon pushed himself to his feet and stood, his legs brushing his knees as he looked down at him.

"I'll hold the Coven until you decide what you want to do," Bradon assured and held his hand out.

Dracka took the offered hand and Bradon pulled him to his feet and wrapped his arms around him. Dracka took comfort from the older vampire as he held him.

"Thank you," Dracka whispered.

Harry jolted awake to the sounds of fighting. He tried to roll out of bed but Severus had a tight grip on his waist and he hissed as it pulled on his still tender torso.

"You can't help them," Severus hissed in his ear.

"I can still shoot a gun," Harry hissed back and Severus released him.

Harry pulled himself from the bed and scrambled over to his cupboard where he pulled out his flak vest as Severus dressed. He could feel the wards flaring but there was nothing he could do magically with Ry's block in place. He pulled a rifle and a hand gun from the cupboard and quickly loaded the hand gun. He double checked the safety before tucking the gun into his belt and loading the rifle.

Severus watched him with dark eyes as he dressed himself. Harry gave him a quick smile as they moved through to the living room. The fighting seemed to be coming from the back of the house and they hurried in that direction.

"Ry and Bill would have felt that," Harry whispered to Severus. "So back up will be here soon. We'll hold it here, just in case they get through the wards."

A loud boom rocked the house and Harry cursed.

"I just renovated!" Harry snapped as they moved behind the couch and Severus cast a steel charm over the back of it to give them cover.

"Wasn't up to Draco's standard anyway," Severus snickered as Harry lowered himself down with the rifle ready and pointed at the back door.

"Nothing is up to that man's standard," Harry replied. "Do you know how many times he's redone his house?"

Severus snorted as he moved to the other end of the lounge and laid out with his wand ready. Between the two of them they had the room covered. Harry was hoping it wouldn't come down to that.

"Worse than Lucius?" Severus questioned.

"Between Narcissa and Draco, I can tell you where the Malfoy fortune is going." Harry remarked.

Suddenly the wards fell and Harry slowed his breathing as he sighted along the riffle.

'Apparation wards are down,' Harry thought across the link.

The first man to apparate in, not wearing Auror or Department clothes. Harry shot him where he stood, wincing as the recoil pulled on his shoulder. They couldn't cast a shield or protection charm, if they wanted to keep their element of surprise but that only went so far.

Severus flicked his wand and Harry felt the spell but was unsure whether he had hit someone as he focused on the door. He could feel light magic swirling and he frowned, then dark magic crashed down on them and he groaned as it pushed on his mind. He could hear Severus cursing from the other end of the lounge.

The door opened and Harry tried to relax as he sighted down his rifle. A young woman entered and looked around with her wand out. Harry had her in his sights as he felt Severus casting spells as the woman ducked towards the room's door. Harry sighted and pulled the trigger and hit the wall next to the doorway and heard a cry.

He focused back on the doorway as the pressure of the dark magic increased. A vampire suddenly dashed through the door and Harry pulled the trigger and the man went down hard. Harry shot him again and he stopped moving. Severus cursed and Harry glanced over at him. He was holding his head and Harry felt a bolt of fear run through him.

'Severus!'

'Can't use anymore magic,' Severus thought over the link. 'Head is pounding.'

Harry cursed as he crept towards the middle of the lounge. Severus moved towards him with pain filled eyes as he pulled a potion from his pocket. Harry passed him, handing him the rifle, before moving to the where Severus had been before as the man watched him carefully.

'That is strong dark magic,' Severus thought to Harry.

'Yes,' Harry replied. 'Not to the level of a Dark Lord but close.'

Harry wiggled into place and pulled his hand gun and peeked around the couch. He pulled back sharply with a curse as a spell smashed into the wall near his head. They knew where they were. Their element of surprise had run out.

"Come out, Potter!" A cold voice called and Harry paled.

'Scorpius?' Severus asked silently.

'Yes,' Harry confirmed.

They could still hear fighting outside and Harry glanced around the couch to see the blonde standing in his living room before he pulled back as a spell spun towards him. The spell smashed into the couch and it rocked back towards them, the steel spell stopping the spell.

Harry sighed before he broke through the block that Ry had placed on his magic. He gasped as power flooded to his fingertips and Severus looked over at him sharply.

"Blake!" Severus hissed in warning.

Harry ignored him as he whispered a spell under his breath and a large black wolf appeared with a snarl. It surged around the couch and shouting started up as the animal turned on anyone in the room. Harry quickly slipped out from cover and started shooting until he was forced back again.

Suddenly a hand grabbed his wrist and before he could yelp. He was pulled forward with a steel grip from behind the couch. He got an image of red eyes of a vampire before the man plunged his fangs into his neck. He cried out in pain as the man rammed him into the wall. He tried to struggle away but the man had a tight grip on him as he sucked his blood. Harry quickly grabbed his magic to try and stop the man feeding as pain spiked through him. His levels just weren't up enough for fighting against an elder vampire.

He could hear Severus shouting and the sound of the riffle he'd given him but he knew that he couldn't hit the vampire with the way he was pinned to the wall. His struggles grew weaker as his vision started to swim and his magic kept sliding away from him. He had to do something quick as he tried to focus his mind.

"Enough!"

The vampire pulled back and released him and Harry fell limply to the ground in a heap. He heard Severus yell out but then went silent and Harry tried to crawl to his feet. A kick to the stomach had black spots swimming in front of him. His vision greying out before hands grabbed his arms and pulled him forward before forcing him to his knees. He felt groggy and light headed from blood loss.

Then he was falling to the ground with a grunt as the hands released him. He could hear sounds of fighting as the world rocked around him and he wasn't sure if he had passed out or not. Suddenly someone grabbed him and he was being thrown over a hard shoulder and he just hung limply as his head swum. He felt like a rag doll being passed around at a five year old party. The feeling of dark magic around him as the noise increased in volume. The confusing sounds of growls, snarls and shouting loud in the room.

"Retreat!" A voice barked.

Then everything went silent, he was placed gently to the ground on his side. He felt familiar magic running over him and he closed his eyes. He would know that magic anywhere as his son's light magic touched him and he drifted slightly. He jolted some time later when a hand grabbed his shoulder and shook him.

"Blake!"

He slitted his eyes open and looked up into Dracka's eyes as the man looked down at him in concern. He could see blood on his pale face and his eyes were red.

"Severus?" Harry whispered.

"We have him," Dracka said quickly and looked over his shoulder at something before looking back down at him. "He's okay."

Harry closed his eyes and Dracka shook him again, but he was too tired. He felt a hand at his throat over the bite mark from the vampire and jolted slightly as Dracka healed the wound. The man left his hand there as people moved around them and Harry drifted.

xXx

Dracka looked down at Blake, he wasn't sure if he was out or not as he looked over the damage to the man's house. Scorpius had attacked in force and as the Aurors moved around he could see them looking over at the two of them. They had not been expecting vampires as Dracka looked at the vampire he'd killed. He glanced over to Severus, sitting against the wall, as Ry ran his wand over him.

Severus looked back at him with dark eyes and he had to look away and down at Blake. The man was limp and his breathing shallow as he lay on his side. Dracka moved his hand to his shoulder, leaving behind a streak of his blood and his demon growled in the back of his mind. He should have been here to protect them, but he hadn't been.

"Blake?" Dracka whispered but got no response.

Ry knelt beside him and Dracka flashed his fangs and snarled at the man before thinking. Ry flinched back quickly and held his hands up.

"Sorry," Dracka offered.

"Right," Ry muttered as he palmed his wand. "Don't startle the vampire."

Dracka gave him a smirk as Ry moved his wand down Blake's body. The man didn't react as Ry worked.

"Blood loss," Ry told him. "A couple of potions and he should be fine. Could have been worse."

Ry turned the wand on him and Dracka pushed his wrist away with a snarl.

"Vampire healing, you idiot." Dracka snapped.

"Oops, sorry. Force of habit." Ry said with a grin. "I'll leave him with you. I'm needed outside. They took a beating and not everyone has vampire healing to fall back on."

Ry gave him a pat on the shoulder before moving out of the room gracefully. Dracka watched him go until Severus knelt beside him and his scent washed over him. He closed his eyes briefly at the smell, he needed to feed. He'd taken a beating and he could feel the craving for blood at the front of his mind.

"How did you know we needed help?" Severus asked softly as he ran a hand over Blake's head.

"I didn't," Dracka replied. "Just good timing."

"Do you need blood?" Severus asked as he looked over the blood on the side of his face and way he was holding his arm.

"Yes," Dracka replied. "But I'm sure a couple of Aurors could look the other way."

Severus gave him a smirk before he looked around.

"Blake's going to be pissed," Severus remarked.

"What's our next move?" Dracka questioned. "You were tracked here."

"They wouldn't have tracked Blake," Severus mused with a frown. "Even owls have trouble with that."

Dracka snorted and he looked back down at Blake. A spike of rage flowed through him at the thought of another vampire feeding off him. Severus grabbed his shoulder and he winced slightly at the pain and Severus eased off. It had been a long time since he'd had to fight against another elder vampire and he could feel every bruise and broken bone as they healed quickly. Which was also pulling the demon forward in his mind for the need for blood. The smell of the humans around him wasn't helping as it teased at the demon in his mind.

"Severus, Dracka." Kingsley greeted as he moved over and looked down at the three of them. "How is he?"

"Blood loss," Dracka replied. "Ry already saw to him."

Kingsley looked him over.

"Need a boost?" Kingsley asked softly and Dracka nodded. "Follow me."

Dracka flicked his eyes down to Blake. Severus ran his hand down his shoulder and gave him a nod. Dracka pulled himself to his feet with a wince and a slight limp as he followed the Auror.

"Eight dead and two captured," Kingsley told him as they moved through the back door to the activity outside. "Three vampires dead as well. How long has he been planning this?"

"Too long," Dracka replied. "And without us knowing."

Kingsley nodded sharply as they moved towards where the bodies had been laid out and ordered the Aurors to leave and to take the light with them. The two men looked them over before doing as ordered. Leaving Dracka and Kingsley alone in the dark at the back of Blake's house.

"Are you staying to help us?" Kingsley asked. "Potter said you went back to your Coven?"

"I'm staying," Dracka said with steel in his voice.

"Good," Kingsley stated as he gave him a smile. "We could do with the help."

Dracka stood there as he looked around at the dark backyard with the tall dark man beside him. Kingsley gave him a nod before turning and walking back towards the back door to the house, the Auror would make sure that he wasn't disturbed. Dracka just stood there with the smell of blood on the air. The image of the vampire with his fangs in Blake's neck coming to mind and he growled slightly as the demon in him raged.

xXx

Harry woke with his head on Severus's leg and the man running his hand over his hair. He peered up at him but his lover was turned away from him as he absentmindedly ran his hand over his head. Harry watched him for a while as he felt light headed and he was sure that he hadn't been out for long.

"Where's Dracka?" Harry whispered and Severus's hand paused as he looked down at him.

"Outside," Severus answered. "The vampire that attacked you…put up a fight. He took a beating before Ry could get to you."

Harry groaned and rolled onto his stomach before getting his hands and knees under him and pushed himself up into a kneeling position. His stomach protested while Severus watched him in amusement.

"Going somewhere?" Severus purred as he leaned back on his hands.

"Not sure at this point," Harry replied.

"Drink this," Ry ordered as he moved over to them and held out two potions.

Harry took them from his son's hand then groaned as he looked at the blood replenishers.

"Do I at least have coffee to wash these down with?" Harry asked and gave his son a smile.

"I'm not a bloody house elf," Ry snapped, but moved towards the kitchen.

Harry and Severus looked after him with twin looks of amusement before Harry pulled himself to his feet. He stumbled slightly before catching himself on the couch. He stopped for a moment before tipping the two potions back quickly. He grimaced at the taste of ash and grass as Severus watched him with a smirk.

Harry looked around the mess of his living room and sighed. He was thinking just bulldozing the whole thing and building new might be the way to go as he held the back of the couch. He leaned down and picked up the hand gun and checked it had ammo and the safety was on before slipping it into his belt and carefully moved towards the back door. Severus didn't ask where he was going, the man already knew.

"Should you be up?" Kingsley asked as he walked out the back door.

"Probably not," Harry replied mildly. "But Ry gave me potions. So, the chances of me falling on my ass have been halved at least."

Kingsley groaned and Harry gave him a lopsided grin. He looked out into his dark backyard but couldn't see anything but darkness. He patted Kingsley on the shoulder as he tapped into a little of his magic and the yard came into focus. He moved out across the lawn and towards Dracka.

The vampire had his back to him with the bodies of the dead scattered before him. He could tell the moment that the other man knew he was there for his head tilted back as he picked up on his scent and he turned. Harry limped forward until he stood before him and looked around.

"I'm going to ask Ry to open up the wards on one of the Potter houses, the Blackpool mansion would be the best option." Harry told him as he wrapped his arms around his flak vest. "The blood wards should give us added protection."

Dracka nodded his head and looked down at the bodies behind him and Harry frowned.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked as he stepped forward.

"Running is not my style," Dracka stated but Harry got the feeling that wasn't the issue.

"Until we know more and how extensive his network is. It's our best course," Harry commented. "With both Severus and myself not at the top of our game, we need time to recover."

Dracka turned back to him and stepped forward, closing the distance between them and Harry just watched him.

"That was very dark magic flowing around," Harry commented. "On par with my own."

Harry could see the shiver go down Dracka's back and the man's eyes flicked to red briefly. Dracka reached out and laid his hands on Harry's sides above his belt and slightly on his flak vest and Harry let his arms fall to his sides. Dracka closed the gap between them and Harry tilted his head back as he captured his lips in a soft kiss. Dracka pulled back slightly before kissing his neck and Harry tilted his head to the side as the vampire licked him. Dracka paused when he tasted his blood and pulled back.

Harry gave him a smirk and Dracka leaned forward and slowly licked up his neck again as Harry wrapped him arms around him. He let his hands rest on the small of Dracka's back as the vampire took his time to clean off his blood before lightly scraping his fangs across his skin. Harry shivered at the feeling and tilted his head further to the side.

"Won't taste good," Harry warned. "Ry gave me potions."

Dracka chuckled as he pulled back with a smirk as he looked down at the man in his arms fondly.

"If they taste that bad when I took them. I would hate to know what a vampire would think." Harry mused with a lopsided smile before leaning forward and resting against the man's chest as Dracka held him lightly.

"Worse," Dracka muttered. "Some vampires get a taste for it."

"Drain and fill up," Harry muttered in amusement. "An addiction just like any other."

Dracka's arms tensed around him.

"I did have a vampire as a lover, Dracka." Harry reminded the other man and the tension eased.

"Oi!"

Both men looked over to the house where Ry stood looking out at them with Kingsley's back still turned.

"Coffee!" Ry shouted out to them before turning on his heels.

Harry grinned and untangled himself from Dracka's arms as the man chuckled.

"I'm starting to think you would take coffee over sex," Dracka muttered.

"Oi!" Harry exclaimed with a grin. "You sound like Severus."

Dracka barked a laugh as Harry limped back up the lawn and into the house with Kingsley falling into step behind them. Severus and Ry were already at the table and Harry took a seat next to Ry. Dracka sat next to Severus as Kingsley picked up a cup of coffee with a nod to Ry.

"Draco should be here soon," Ry commented as Harry cradled a cup of coffee.

"Fantastic," Harry muttered sarcastically. "More potions."

Severus gave him a smirk over the table.

"What's your next move, Blake?" Kingsley asked as he took a seat next to him.

"Get behind the Potter blood wards," Harry answered. "We need to find out more and recover."

"The Ministry has gone on alert," Kingsley reported. "Do we have another Dark Lord?"

"No," Harry told him. "He has very strong dark power, but isn't a Dark Lord. This man is dangerous and I don't think he cares who he kills to get what he wants. He also has light magic, Kingsley. We have to take that into consideration."

"That was an elder vampire," Dracka added. "Over a hundred at least."

Harry looked over at the vampire beside Severus and could see the rage in the man's red tinted eyes. The dried blood on the side of his face made him look even wilder than normal.

"We need to find out if he has taken a Coven then," Harry suggested, his eyes never leaving Dracka.

"That is not a comforting thought," Kingsley remarked as he sat back in his chair. "Not with the new vampire laws still going through the Ministry."

"Interesting timing then," Severus muttered. "That he makes his move now."

Harry frowned as he tried to remember more about Scorpius as Draco made his way into the room. Harry gave him a nod as he placed another vial in front of him and another in front of Severus. Harry gave the blonde a grin as he took a seat next to him with a sigh and grabbed a mug and made himself a coffee. By his silence, Harry knew, that Draco couldn't trust himself to say anything at the moment, which meant that he was pissed.

He took the potion, vaguely noticing Severus giving his watch a quick glance and frowned before placing the empty vial on the table. He washed the taste of the potion down with his coffee as Draco gave him a smirk.

"What is Lucius up to?" Harry asked.

"Lurking around the Ministry," Ry replied and turned to Kingsley.

"He's in the misuse of magical items department," Kingsley commented and they all looked over at Draco.

"Don't look at me," Draco snapped with a sniff. "He hasn't spoken to me since I started my apprenticeship under Severus and Blake threatened to disembowel him with his own cane."

All eyes turned to Harry and he smiled at them innocently.

"What?" Harry asked in amusement. "Out of line?"

"Not at all," Draco replied with a smirk. "That's what he deserved after he threatened to disinherit me from the Malfoy family."

"Is that so?" Severus purred and turned to Harry.

"He wanted me to follow in his footsteps into the Ministry," Draco stated primly. "He didn't want his only son to be a lowly potion master."

"He quickly realised that he only has one son and heir," Harry recounted with a smirk then frowned. "Ah, shit."

"What?" Draco asked, sitting forward in his seat as all eyes turned to him.

"Scorpius is a Malfoy," Harry reminded him as he sat back in his seat. "He has the Malfoy blood."

Draco paled and his eyes grew wide.

"He wouldn't…" Draco whispered.

"Sounds just like him," Harry pointed out.

"But that would mean that…" Draco trailed off.

Both men shared a look.

"I have a feeling I know who opened up that floo," Harry muttered then something else occurred to him. "Misuse of magical items…"

"Care to share, Blake?" Severus asked sweetly.

"Time turners fall under magical items," Harry mused.

"He wouldn't go that far," Draco drawled. "I may not have gone into the Ministry but I have a very high standing at St Mungo's."

"All just speculation really," Harry pondered. "However, I think a trip to the Ministry is in order."

"After we are settled and you have recovered," Severus reminded Harry and he gave the man a grin.

Harry eyed off Severus and the other man cocked his head to the side slightly in question. Harry frowned in thought and looked over at Ry.

"What are you two talking about?" Draco asked and Ry snorted while Dracka looked between them in confusion.

"How have you gone with my notebooks, Draco?" Harry asked instead.

"I have a few ideas," Draco replied. "I want to try and recreate the potion to have a better idea of a counter potion. I'll need you as the guinea pig."

"Oh, joy." Harry moaned and Severus sent amusement over the link and he glared over at the other man. "Don't you start."

Ry snorted.

"Okay," Harry announced. "We'll move to the Potter mansion in Blackpool, it has the strongest blood wards. Once you are settled Severus. Dracka and I will head to my house in Germany, I have more of my books on time magic there. Kingsley, keep me updated on what's happening here. Draco, you know what to do. Everyone happy?"

"Would it make a difference if we weren't?" Severus questioned smoothly.

Harry gave him a grin and Severus groaned.

"Come on Kingsley," Ry encouraged with a smirk. "Let's move outside so that Severus can yell at Dad."

"I do not yell, Potter." Severus drawled.

"He hisses death threats," Harry countered with a smirk. "And slips potions into my coffee."

Ry barked a laugh as he got to his feet and gave his father a grin before moving out of the room with Kingsley.

"I'll call you if I have anything. Try to stay out of trouble for a least a few days," Draco offered as he got to his own feet and left.

Harry looked around the dining room and the damage that he could see of the living room and sighed.

"I'll have to call my real estate agent and get them to take this property off the list." Harry muttered and Severus snorted. "We should pack up what we have here."

"Why don't you head to bed, Blake." Severus suggested with a quick look at his watch. "Dracka and I will pack up everything."

"I'm awake now," Harry stated.

"You won't be, after that potion kicks in, in about ten minutes." Severus drawled with a smirk.

"Bloody Draco," Harry cursed and Dracka growl. "Oh, settle down you. You'll get used to him. Fine, I'm heading to bed."

xXx

Severus watched Blake in amusement as the man left the table slowly. The pain in his chest slightly annoying him as he looked over at Dracka beside him. He'd pulled on his magic too much and from his headache, he would be paying the price for a while.

"Right there?" Severus asked as he grabbed the man's hand.

"Not sure," Dracka replied as he watched the doorway that Blake had gone through.

"You want to follow him?" Severus asked mildly as he sat back in his seat and looked the vampire over.

"I could do with a shower," Dracka commented. "Why are we not moving now?"

"The Aurors have the house locked down," Severus told him. "You can't feel the wards around place?"

"You can?" Dracka countered in surprise.

"Through the link with Blake," Severus answered. "Makes me more aware of the magic around me…the link started to strengthen about two and half years ago."

"Is that why you and Blake decided to leave Hogwarts?" Dracka asked. "You never really gave a reason."

"It was part of the reason," Severus agreed. "I started to get migraines from the link and Blake thought I was going to kill a student."

Dracka snorted as Severus gave him a smirk.

"It was bound to happen that you would cross that line," Dracka muttered. "Kind of surprised it didn't happen earlier really. I'm sure you came close with Teddy Lupin."

Severus just groaned in answer.
