Harry eyed off the hellhounds as they paced up and down the fence line as they watched him with red eyes. He glanced over at Dracka but the vampire just gave him a smirk as he pushed the front gate to his home open. The hounds bounded forward and Harry braced his feet as one snapped at his fingers and he yelped.

"Oi!" Dracka barked but the beast had already run off.

"Bloody creatures," Harry cursed and one turned to snarl at him before Dracka had it moving again.

Severus looked after the beasts in interest.

"Did you have trouble with them before?" Dracka asked in interest.

Harry frowned as he tried to think while he looked up at the mansion before him. He could pick out the memories of the place and could tell which were from this time due to Dracka being in them. He tried to pick up the other memories but they were just glimpses of memories without context or order.

"I'm not sure," Harry replied.

Dracka gave him a nod as Severus grasped his shoulder. They let that go as they made their way towards the mansion and Harry looked around in interest. He shifted through a couple of memories until they sat right in his mind as he glanced over at Dracka. The vampire was on edge and Harry could see the tension in his body. He reached out and grabbed his hand and Dracka started slightly at the touch before he gave him a smile.

The three men looked up at Bradon waiting for him on the front porch and Dracka let his hand go as he moved forward. Severus and Harry dropped back to give the two vampires some space. The two men embraced briefly and Harry could pick up the body language between the Coven leader and his second. Reading the subtle signs between the two men.

Harry shifted slightly and turned away from the two to see Severus watching the vampires in interest.

"Did Dracka explain everything?" Harry asked.

"As much as he could before he got frustrated and walked out," Severus drawled with a smirk.

Harry returned the smirk before turning back as Bradon and Dracka walked towards them.

"Blake," Bradon greeted. "Severus, how are you two?"

"Well, thank you." Severus replied as he shook the vampire's hand.

Bradon shook Harry's hand and gave him a once over.

"I hear you have an uninvited guest?" Harry asked.

"Yes," Bradon answered, showing his fangs slightly. "She seems to be making herself at home too."

Harry frowned.

"I already looked at the wards and she didn't change anything," Harry informed him. "Does she know how to deal with vampires?"

Bradon grinned showing fangs in answer, that would be a no.

"Right," Harry drawled. "Lead the way, Mr Bradon."

Bradon gave him a grin and Dracka fell into step with the other man as they started talking quietly in French. Severus and Harry walked behind them into the mansion. It was still too early for many vampires to be up since the sun was still up but as they walked into the dining hall. Harry noticed more than the normal amount of vampires spread out around the hall until his eyes were drawn to the blonde-haired woman sitting at one of the tables. Alice Carter sat next to Melissa Sharman as well as a young vampire.

They all looked over as they made their way into the hall. Harry noticed the younger vampire lower his head slightly as he stared at him and he frowned. He didn't know the man but he noticed Dracka tense at the movement. The blonde woman rose to her feet with a smile as her green eyes locked with his.

"You're a hard man to get a hold of, Mr Sun." Melissa purred as she strolled around the table to meet them, her high heels clicking slightly on the stones.

"I've been very busy of late," Harry stated with a disarming smile. "Though, it seems like you know how to get my attention."

The woman gave a slight laugh as she held out her hand and Harry took it in his and kissed the back.

"Mr Goldsmith mentioned that you wanted to see what I was capable of," Melissa explained with a ruby smile. "I didn't realise that your vampires would pick up on me so quickly."

Dracka growled and stepped forward slightly, his eyes red.

"This is Mr Rolf Dracka," Harry introduced calmly as other vampires took notice. "He is the leader of this Coven. I hold no power over any of the people here."

Melissa's eyes roamed over him and Harry could feel her dark magic brush against him as the vampires slinked closer. Using dark magic in this place was not a very wise idea but before he could say as much, the magic pulled back sharply. He was sure that the woman had picked up on that as she noticed the red glint to the vampires' eyes.

"My apologies then," Melissa back tracked. "I picked up on your magic on the wards around the village and this mansion."

"Yes," Harry replied. "And many other buildings."

"These wards are different," Melissa stated. "The protection and blood wards are very strong."

Dracka tensed even more as his eyes narrowed.

"What are you after, Ms Sharman?" Harry asked softly.

"A job interview," Melissa replied, ignoring Dracka which was not a smart move.

"A job interview?" Harry repeated slowly.

Melissa gave him a smile.

"You are a Master Curse Breaker, Mr Sun." Melissa purred and flicked her eyes over to Dracka when he growled low in his throat. "Yes, Mr Dracka?"

"You are in my house," Dracka said, a deadly tone to his voice. "You are a Dark Wizard and are not covered under the terms of a safe passage. You do not know how to act surrounded by vampires and if you are a threat. We will see you off and I don't mean from the property."

Melissa gave a wide smile as she shifted slightly to give off the body language that she wasn't a threat. Harry knew that it wasn't enough for vampires. Dracka's eyes burned red and Melissa's smile dimmed. She was starting to realise that she had walked into something that she didn't know. Her young age and inexperience would only go so far.

"I bring no harm to your Coven, Mr Dracka." Melissa said softly.

Dracka stepped in front of Harry and he took a step back, clearing stating that Dracka ruled here. The vampire's took notice of his move of letting the Coven leader take control.

"Or anyone else here," Melissa added. "I just wished to talk to Mr Sun. He must be having problems with his phone, since I have left messages on it."

Bradon stepped forward to stand next to Dracka as Harry stepped further back until he stood next to Severus. The woman's eyes flicked to him before focusing on the two vampires before her calmly but Harry could pick up the tension. It looked like she had just realised the danger that she was in and that Harry wasn't helping her.

"Alice will show you to a room," Bradon informed her. "I'm sure if Blake wishes to talk to you that he will find you. Alice will inform you of when dinner served otherwise I would advise that you stay there."

Melissa's eyes flicked over to him before giving a smile to the vampires before her.

"Thank you," Melissa said smartly as Alice weaved through the vampires and the two women left.

Bradon turned to Harry and lowered his head an inch as he shifted his feet and tilted his head slightly and Harry tensed. Dracka growled slightly but Bradon didn't change his stance and Harry locked eyes with a vampire before looking away. Dracka's growled a little louder but Harry kept his eyes to the side. He was happy to sit under Dracka and his second.

He flicked his eyes back to Bradon and the man gave him a nod before turning on his heels and walking off as the vampire around them broke up. Dracka was watching him with dark eyes and a slight frown.

"You didn't need to do that, Blake." Dracka stated as he stepped closer.

"Do what?" Severus asked as he looked between them. "Did I miss something?"

"Blake just decided to place himself under my second," Dracka replied mildly.

Severus groaned before looking over to Harry and he grinned at the other man.

"I'm happy with that," Harry announced.

"That is not where you should be," Dracka growled. "That is not your place!"

Harry stood up straighter and looked Dracka in the eyes and tilted his head slightly and Dracka groaned.

"Bloody stubborn wizard," Dracka cursed. "You know where my rooms are. I'll see you two later tonight."

Dracka turned on his heels and stalked off while Harry looked after him in amusement.

"Can't take you anywhere," Severus muttered and turned on his heels and walked away.

Harry looked after him in amusement as he looked around the hall. His eyes caught on the young vampire again and the man gave him a leer, showing fangs slightly and he frowned. The man stood smoothly and made his way towards him. Harry stood up straighter, the vampire settled in front of him and gave him a look over. He stood an inch or so taller than Harry with striking blue eyes and slim build. His skin had a slight brown tint and his brown hair was pulled back in a tail.

"Blake Sun?" The vampire questioned with a heavy French accent.

"Oui," Harry replied.

"I am Liam," The vampire said in French. "I was Dracka's lover."

Harry froze as he looked at the man, his body language was closed off and Harry tensed slightly. Vampires were clear with their body language. Liam was intentionally being closed off so that Harry didn't know what he was thinking or implying.

"Are you staking a claim?" Harry asked softly in French.

"Non," Liam replied. "Dracka has made his point clear in this matter."

Harry's eyes flicked over the young vampire, he could feel from the man's curse that he hadn't been turned for long, maybe less than thirty years and looked to be in his late twenties. He also had no magic around him, since the curse hadn't had time to soak in yet. Liam's blue eyes looked him over and Harry got the feeling that he wasn't living up to his expectations.

"I can smell your magic on the other wizard?" Liam stated more than questioned.

"Correct," Harry confirmed and Liam took a step forward and Harry held his ground.

He noticed a few other vampires taking an interest in them.

"Is he not enough, Dark Wizard?" Liam questioned, his head lowered slightly.

"For Dracka?" Harry asked with a smirk.

Liam reeled back slightly at the words and flashed his fangs at him. Harry let it slid but tensed as Liam stepped close and took a sniff of him and Harry growled slightly in the back of his throat. Liam just gave him a leer as one of the older vampires took an interest and strolled over.

"Is there a problem here?" Calvin asked softly, his brown eyes looking them over. "Blake Sun and Severus Snape have safe passage, Liam."

Liam turned to the older vampire and tilted his head to the side as he stepped back. Calvin was an elder vampire and held power in the Coven, he stood above the younger vampire.

"Non," Liam replied evenly. "No problem."

Calvin stepped forward and bared his fangs at Liam. The younger vampire stepped back sharply and looked to the side slightly. Calvin gave the man a curt nod.

"They need help in the kitchen," Calvin suggested.

Liam nodded and walked off without looking over his shoulder. Harry gave Calvin a smile and shook the man's hand, feeling the man's curse brushing over his skin.

"Nice to see you again, Blake." Calvin offered. "Sorry about Liam, he's still young. He was a stray that turned up at our doorstep, whom had already been turned before he arrived here. He has a couple of odd ticks."

"He was just informing me of his connection to Dracka," Harry said mildly and Calvin tensed.

"He wouldn't be stupid enough to stake a claim?" Calvin asked as his eyes flashed red.

"No," Harry replied. "But he's young. I just hope he doesn't think he could take on Severus."

Calvin snorted, giving him a fond look as he stepped closer and Harry sighed as the man gave him a sniff. Calvin gave a chuckle and a wink before he stepped back.

xXx

"This woman is a concern, Rolf." Bradon commented to Dracka as they sat in his office. "Her power is dark enough to pull on the younger vampires here and they have been moved to the other side of the mansion."

"She's putting Blake on edge," Dracka admitted. "He knows her from before but is having problems remembering details due to what Scorpius did to him. It's frustrating him since the goblins are putting pressure on him to take her on as an apprentice."

Bradon bared his fangs at those words.

"Something drew her attention here," Bradon pointed out. "She said blood wards?"

Dracka nodded.

"My brother died while Blake was working with the wards the first time," Dracka softly reminded the other man and Bradon reeled back. "His blood and the other three people that my brother killed that night are tied up in the wards."

Bradon hissed a breath, his eyes wide.

"I didn't know that," Bradon whispered.

"Makes the wards very strong," Dracka remarked as he looked at the floor.

"What is he going to do?" Bradon asked after a few minutes of silence.

"I don't think he knows," Dracka commented.

Both men looked over when a knock sounded at his office door.

"Come in," Bradon called and Calvin walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

"We may have a problem with Liam and Blake," Calvin told them and Dracka growled slightly.

"In what way?" Bradon demanded, his own eyes red.

"Liam made Blake aware of his connection to you, Dracka." Calvin recounted as he took a seat. "It wasn't a claim, but Liam is still young."

"He has Alice," Dracka pointed out with a frown. "Yes?"

"Yes," Calvin confirmed. "And a couple of other vampires."

"Then what is his problem?" Dracka snapped as he sat back in his seat.

"We don't know much of his history, Dracka." Calvin reminded him. "Blake is a Dark Wizard, not that he feels that way most of the time. However, that is what he is."

Dracka frowned and shared a look with Bradon.

"I'm sure Blake can look after himself," Dracka said mildly. "If he tries anything with Severus, he'll learn very quickly not to mess with that man."

Bradon barked a laugh as Dracka gave him a smirk.

xXx

Melissa Sharman looked around the hall with interest. She had worked with the goblins and other magical creatures since she'd left school and started working with wards but hadn't worked with vampires. Unlike other creatures, she could feel their dark magic brushing her skin. She knew that they had a hierarchy within a Coven. She could see the way that younger vampires would take their orders from the older vampires and with the way that they would sit at the tables around the hall as food was being served for dinner.

She could feel and see the dark power around her. It had taken her breath away the first time that she'd met one of the elder vampires at the edge of Sun's wards. Her eyes roamed over to the man. He wasn't much to look at as he sat next to the tall potion master, she could slightly pick up his power. She frowned, wondering why the goblins were trying to get him to teach her. Yes, the man was a Master Curse Breaker but so was Bill Weasley and the man was happy to take her on as an apprentice but the goblins insisted on Sun.

She had felt the wards that Sun had placed and they were strong and well done but she had felt stronger and that just confused her. The man's green eyes passed over her and she frowned, she could see age in those eyes that didn't relate to how old he looked even if she knew the man held the Deathly Hallows. Yet, as he sat at the table sprawled out in his chair, he looked just like any other low-level wizard even if he did hold both light and dark magic. Not to mention the rumours she'd heard about him. So far, the man hadn't lived up to her expectations and she wasn't sure if the effort that she was putting in to convince him to take her on was worth it.

"So," Alice commented from beside her at the table. "You are a curse breaker?"

"I am studying to be a curse breaker," Melissa replied with a smile and Alice's eyes flicked over to Sun.

"You are trying to get Blake to teach you?" Alice asked. "He was a teacher for over twenty years at Hogwarts."

"Ah, yes." Melissa answered. "I didn't go to Hogwarts, I went to Beauxbatons here in France. Has Mr Sun taught a curse breaker before?"

"I don't know," Alice admitted as she glanced over at the man. "Just ask him. Getting him to talk isn't hard, it's trying to get him to stop."

The women shared a chuckle before Melissa looked closer at the woman beside her. She could feel the dark curse from the mark on her arm and that just confused her even more. What was a Death Eater doing here? The vampires around them had taken the woman in as the young vampire beside her gave her a smile with his hand on her leg.

She glanced around again, surprised by how normal it was around the hall as vampires and other creatures talked quietly as they ate dinner and she frowned. The fact that the Coven was surrounded by a village was odd to her as well. Most of the Covens in England were more isolated and didn't take well to visitors. Some here in France were similar to that as well or there would be a village within walking distance. The fact that the village and the Coven here, lived and worked side by side was different.

"Are there children here?" Melissa asked in interest.

She noticed a few vampires tensing around her as Alice gave her a smile.

"Yes," Alice replied. "They are being looked after elsewhere."

Melissa frowned but it must be a culture thing as she turned back to her meal. A loud squeal had her looking up as a young child of three ran into the hall with a black beast behind him. Melissa tensed but no one else around her reacted as the beast grabbed a hold of the back of the child's shirt and the boy yelped.

"One got loose," Alice said in amusement. "He's good at slipping away."

The boy kicked out at the beast but it just puffed into mist and the boy bolted. Just for Blake Sun to step forward and grab the child and he squealed loudly. Blake swung the child up and he giggled as the beast growled as them as he spun the child around.

"Oh, shut it you." Blake snapped at the beast as the hellhound snarled at him. "Come on, little one. You know you shouldn't run away from your minders."

Blake set the child back on his feet with a firm grip on his hand. The boy giggled and reached out for the hellhound. Placing a small hand on the beast's fur and it settled with its red eyes still focused on the wizard.

"How about some magic?" Blake asked the child.

"Magic!" The child squealed and a few vampires winced at the sound.

"He has a way with them," Alice mentioned.

"Is the child a vampire?" Melissa inquired.

"Liam?" Alice asked the vampire next to her.

"Yes," Liam answered. "Born vampire."

"Vampires can be born?" Melissa asked in interest.

Alice gave a laugh.

"I'm half vampire," Alice revealed with a smile. "My father was a vampire and my mother a witch."

Melissa sat back in her seat as she looked at the other woman in surprise. Then looked around and realised that there was a lot she had to learn.

xXx

"Is Blake still with the children?" Dracka asked as he walked into his rooms to see Severus sprawled out on the lounge in front of the fire.

"Last I saw, he was casting firework spells and was getting requests from both the children and adults," Severus drawled with a smirk. "Did Alice learn anything?"

"Oh, yes." Dracka replied as he wandered towards the seated man and sat down next to him.

Severus gave him a smirk and placed his book to the side as Dracka's demon took notice of the man's scent and magic. Dracka leaned forward and captured the wizard's lips in a hard kiss as Severus pulled him until he was laying between his legs. He pulled Severus's shirt over his head as the man grabbed his sides and pulled him close.

Dracka licked up the man's neck, tasting him on his tongue as his demon purred. Severus tilted his head to the side and Dracka paused before pulling back slightly. Severus gave him an amused look and Dracka grinned. He quickly slipped off the lounge and slipped out of his pants as Severus watched him. His eyes roaming over his body and Dracka slinked forward before kneeling down between the man's legs. He unbuckled his pants while Severus watched him before taking his half hard cock into his mouth.

Severus moaned as his hands tangled in his hair and Dracka grabbed his hips as he worked on his cock until it was rock hard.

"Going to," Severus whispered and released his head but Dracka kept going. "Dracka!"

Severus growled a warning as he grabbed his shoulders and the vampire swallowed him down as he came. The demon in the back of his mind purred at the taste of the wizard as Severus panted and Dracka licked up his softening cock before pulling back and straddling the man's waist. Severus looked at him with guarded eyes and Dracka gave him a grin before dipping forward and licking up his neck. Severus grabbed his cock in one hand as the other held his hip.

Severus tilted his head to the side and Dracka didn't pause this time. He scrapped his fangs across his skin and let his blood leak out slowly. He lapped away at the scratches as Severus moaned at the feeling. This was the first time that Dracka had fed off Severus this way as he closed his mouth over the scrape and sucked slightly and Severus's grip tightened on his cock.

Dracka moaned as Severus picked up the speed on his shaft. He rocked his hips forward as he lapped at the man's blood until he tipped over the edge with a grunt as he placed his hand over the mark on the man's throat. He panted slightly as he came down and healed the mark as Severus cast the cleaning spell.

Severus shifted them around until they were sprawled out on the lounge with Dracka laying between his legs with his head resting on his chest and he listened to the man's heartbeat. Severus ran his hand through his hair and Dracka relaxed into him. Severus normally liked it hard and fast so this was different than normal and yet he was different with Blake, softer.

Dracka tilted his head back to look up at him. Severus looked down at him with soft eyes and gave him a small smile.

"Right there?" Severus whispered as one hand stroked his hair while the other rested on his bum.

"Yes," Dracka purred.

Both men looked up when Blake walked in and paused as he turned after shutting the door. Green eyes looked them over as Severus's hand paused.

"Right," Blake muttered. "I'm going for a shower. Last time I start a one-person firework display and you were no help, Severus."

Both men watched in amusement as he stripped out of his shirt. He walked across the room and flicked his belt open and let his pants fall as he spoke. Dracka ran his eyes over the man's back and winced slightly at how skinny he still looked as he stepped out of his underwear. Severus gave his bum a sharp smack and Blake glanced over as Dracka yelped.

"Right there?" Blake purred with dark eyes and half hard and Dracka leered, he didn't need to be told twice.

Severus gave him a push anyway and Dracka scrambled forward. Blake watched him in amusement and gave Severus a wink. Dracka stalked towards Blake and the man waited for him with a smirk. He grabbed him and pulled him tight as he leaned forward and kissed him deeply. Blake wrapped his arms around him and grabbed his ass and pulled him close.

Blake turned them and pushed Dracka into the wall behind him with a slight growl. Dracka tilted his head to the side and Blake bit down sharply as he pulled on his thighs, making him wrap them around his waist. Blake shifted him higher before placing a finger at his opening and pushing it into him. Dracka gasped as Blake bit down on his neck again, drawing blood and Dracka tensed.

Blake pulled back as he added a second finger and gave him a grin before leaning forward and licking up the blood on his neck. Dracka could feel the man's magic touching him and he moaned loudly.

"Ready?" Blake whispered in his ear and Dracka nodded sharply.

Blake grabbed his hips and pulled him into place against the wall before lining himself up and pushing forward. He kissed him deeply and cut his tongue against Dracka's fangs and blood filled his mouth drowning out the slight pain. Blake's hands grabbed his hips and he pushed forward as he pushed down. Their magic swirling around them and Dracka leaned his head back against the wall.

Blake grabbed their magic and cast it to the side as he pushed into him. He grabbed the back of Dracka's head gently and pulled him forward as he tilted his head to the side. Dracka bite down on his neck sharply and Blake gasped. Dracka opened his eyes and he locked eyes with Severus while he watched them as he played with himself and he moaned at the sight.

Blake thrust into him a few more times, panting slightly and Dracka could feel his hold on the magic around them loosening. He grabbed it this time and pushed it away. Blake gasped as he tipped him over the edge as he pushed into him hard. He quickly braced himself as he came with their magic running down both their backs sending Dracka over the edge as he pulled back from Blake's neck. He watched as blood slowly leaked out of the puncture wounds on his neck as the man panted, with his arms braced as he pushed him into the wall to keep them up.

Dracka eased his feet back to the floor as he grabbed Blake's bum and pulled him close. He licked up the blood that had made its way down his collar bone. Blake moaned as he slid his fangs back into the man's neck and he held him tightly as he fed.

"That's enough," Blake gasped.

Dracka pulled back and healed the mark, feeling their magic on his skin before taking him in a kiss. He healed the cut there before pulling back and cupping the man's face and looking into his slightly glazed over green eyes from taking his blood. Blake gave him a lopsided grin as he leaned into him. Dracka's arms the only thing keeping him up now as the after effect of his feeding sunk in.

Severus closed the distance to them and placed his hand on Blake's back.

"Is he okay?" Severus asked with a frown. "He feels like he's drunk across the link."

"It's the feeding," Dracka explained. "He took in some of my blood which increases the drugged effect."

Blake shifted and got his feet under him better and Dracka gave him a leer. His green eyes looked sharper as he placed a hand over the mark on Dracka's neck and healed it. Dracka shivered as Blake's magic touched him and the man grinned.

"Now, I need a shower." Blake muttered.

He untangled himself from Dracka and the vampire watched him in amusement as he stumbled slightly and Severus grabbed his shoulder. Blake shook him off before making his way to the bathroom on slightly unsteady legs. He left the door open and they could see him turn the water on in the shower before stepping in. Severus watched him carefully as the man stood under the water.

"Is it safe for him to consume your blood?" Severus asked, keeping an eye on Blake as the man used a hand on the shower wall to stay standing.

"For him?" Dracka remarked as he leaned into the wall. "Sure, his magic will burn off anything. That's why he recovers so quickly, anyone else and they would be like jelly on the floor."

"And me?" Severus questioned, his eyes dark as they looked at him.

"I wouldn't recommend it," Dracka said with a smirk. "Not yet anyway. You will understand more after a full feeding."

Severus pulled himself up to his full height and looked down his nose at him and Dracka gave him a leer.

"Unless you like the feeling of being drunk," Dracka offered with a smirk. "Then I can help you out with that."

Severus grabbed him and pulled him close.

"Oi!" Blake called out. "I hope you two are planning on a shower before you head to bed."

Severus chuckled as Dracka smirked.

"Yes, dear." Severus called back and Dracka barked a laugh.
