Previously:

"I'm short." He whispered, sorrowfully, letting go of his vampire mate. Before he could react he was forced to changed positions, with Lucas' hands on the wall on either side of Harry's head.

"Yes you are. Now you can see who will be on the bottom." His voice was harsh as he swept away to his own bedroom. Harry stood their, stunned with a blush covering his face. What the hell was wrong with that man?

His footsteps were quiet as he went to his own room. Lucas was like a very complex puzzle. But he was certain one of these days he would fit the pieces together.

CHAPTER 8: The Bite of Jealousy

A chirp was heard by his head as he woke up.

"Hello girl." The boy started to stroke Hedwig's soft feathers as he got ready for Diagon Alley. He knew Lucas hated the color white so he threw on light blue jeans and a slightly tight shirt that he had gotten for Christmas three years ago.

He transfigured his black school robes into gray and got rid of the badge that was on the breast. Throwing his sack of money in his pocket, he left the common room down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

The young wizard sat down at the full table, finally noticing Lucas wasn't there. Why would he be mad at him? Harry sneered; let him be angry, he didn't have any feelings for the Vampire…did he?

Filling some spoonfuls of oatmeal in his mouth, he saw Snape motion for him to follow. He sighed as he looked longingly as the pancakes sitting there, with melted butter and syrup sliding down the sides.

Out in the Entrance Hall, Snape and Lucas were waiting for him by a portkey. The Vampire, Harry saw, not the Lucas Pierce from last night but the bad ass, Prince of the Blended Vampires. A hood was covering his face and black, shiny leather shoes peaked out.

"Grab hold. I have much better things to be doing than baby-sitting." Snape sneered in disgust. Harry had to hide a small smile as a thought came to his mind, Lucas towered over Snape as if he was babysitting the potion's master.

The Vampire hadn't even given Harry a second glance and the boy frowned. Two could play at this game.

"Three…two…one." A jerk behind his navel appeared and a grimace graced his lips.

The floor appeared next to his face as he fell flat on his face. A hand grabbed him around his hood and hauled him up with one hand. Turning to look at his savior he notice it was Snape and not Lucas who was standing in front of them with his arms over his chest.

"Since I need things here, I expect you two can go shopping by yourselves. And behave." Snape said looking over at Lucas at the last part of his parting words. With that he swept out of the pub, robes blowing out from behind.

Harry averted his eyes toward the Vampire, to see him brush past him out the door toward Diagon Alley. The young wizard sighed, about to continue his own way until he heard his name being called out.

"Harry! Over here." His emerald green eyes locked with chocolate brown.

"Hey 'Mione. How are you doing? You look great." He noticed that she grew up over the summer. The young witch blushed lightly and smiled.

"Thanks. I'm doing well…and you look very handsome. You look better without glasses." It was Harry's turn to smile, until he looked around to notice witches and wizards watching him in interest.

"Ugh, thanks Hermione. But let's go outside and continue this conversation." She frowned but then saw everyone looking over at them.

Stepping into Diagon Alley they walked together toward Gringorts bank.(sp?)

"What are you doing here Hermione? You usually come school supply shopping earlier in the summer." He searched through his pockets while Hermione explained.

"Yes, but I just cam home from my vacation and today and unfortunately it's the day right before school starts. It's a pity I couldn't look over the 6th year books before school started. I suppose you're here for school shopping?" Harry nodded, smiling slightly at Hermione's misfortune.

"Yeah…I'm living at Hogwarts right now and Professor Snape and Lucas brought me." Without warning Hermione gasped and covered her mouth and launched herself in his embrace.

"I'm so sorry Harry. I heard all about the Dursley's, Remus and Molly Weasley. I'm sorry." The y stood in each other's embrace, silently grieving for the losses. After awhile they pulled away with Hermione wiping her tears and Harry sniffed slightly.

"Thanks Hermione, I needed a hug…but here is something else I need to talk to you about." She looked up at him in concern.

"Alright Harry. Let's get our money first and get our school stuff, and after wards we can go up to my room in the Leaky Cauldron. But first let's get you a new wardrobe." She said looking at his large baggy, washed out clothes.

And that's what they did. They got all their supplies, robes, extra books and a new wardrobe for Harry, that to his horror consisted on everything…and mostly dark colors. Hermione on the other hand said he looked good in dark, not light and handed him a lot of black's dark green's and navy blue's. She also insisted on buying a lot of clothes that showed his great body.

Harry had just rolled his eyes and shrunk their stuff, hiding the book he got on Blended Vampires without his friend's attention. And right now they were walking up to her bedroom in the pub.

"Are you sure this is ok, Herm?" She giggled as she opened the door.

"Of course it is Harry. Now tell me what is bothering you." She sat down on her bed as Harry sat at the desk.

"Well-," He told her about Lucas, him being a Blended Vampire and the prince, Harry being his mate, and Lucas' treatment toward him. After he was finished Hermione was sitting there frowning in thought.

"Wow. That's a lot to take in. But its wrong how he's treating you, it's almost like he's playing mind games with you… don't do anything you don't want to Harry. However I think it's good for you." Harry looked up in shock.

"Why?" She looked in his eyes.

"It would do you some good for someone to love you." Seeing Harry's look she continued. "Well, until he gets over his mood swings, I think you should go with him Harry. Well you don't have any choice really, but I think he would treat you wonderful… I have some studying to do on those Vampires." She added as an after thought.

The young man just shook his head and stood up.

"Well thanks for listening to me Hermione. Say…have you heard from Ron this summer?" She walked with him toward the door and shook her head.

"No. I think he was on a trip in the beginning of summer, and now…well with him mother being gone." Harry nodded in understanding.

"I'll see you tomorrow 'Mione. Thanks again." They hugged and went there separate ways.

He looked at his watch that read '12:30'…Snape never told them when they would meet, and so far they have been there for nearly five hours. Deciding to walk around, he noticed a shop labeled WWW. Thinking it must be the Weasley twins he steppe dup to the door.

Noticing it was locked he looked up to see a sign that read.

Dear customers:

We are currently shut down for awhile due to family concerns. The shop will reopen shortly.

Thank you for you patience,

WWW

Harry frowned; they were mourning the loss for Molly Weasley. He forgot about that, he sighed and wondered down the brick pathway. All his shopping was done and he couldn't think of what else he needed to get. His fingers played with theobjects in his cloak, that he had charmed to fit in his pockets.

Blowing black robes caught his attention in front of him, so he jogged to catch up.

"Professor!" The man whipped around and rolled his eyes toward the sky.

"There you are Potter. I've been waiting for you and that Vampire for over and hour." Harry put his hand son his knees and panted trying to get his breath back.

"You…you never told us where and when to meet, Professor." Harry stated, and Snape looked like he was slapped in the face. Clearing his throat, his dark eyes looked around.

"Have you seen Pierce?"

"No, haven't seen him all day long." Snape cursed and motioned Harry to follow him.

"Well I'm sure he's been watching you all day." Harry's eyes widened in horror as his hair stood up on the back of his neck.

"W-what?" He asked, looking around franticly, moving a little closer to his Professor.

The man smirked lightly and nodded. "You don't expect a Vampire to just let their mate wonder around. Especially him. He probably was hiding in some shadow watching you." Harry turned palled and thought about Hermione. What if he went after her? He didn't know Hermione and him were close friends and nothing more.

"Uh, Professor? I was with Hermione Granger the whole da-," He didn't get a chance to finish as his Professor turned sharply at Harry's words.

"Granger? Where is she?" His voice was inpatient and Harry replied quickly.

"The Leakey Cauldron." With a swish of his blowing robes, he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Harry himself didn't wait long and he also ran after him toward the pub.

Skipping the stairs by three, he sprinted to her room. The door was open and what he saw shocked him senseless.

Hermione was in the corner, trembling with her wand outstretched; while Lucas and Snape were fighting each other against the wall with their fangs out… wait, their fangs out? He didn't know Snape was a Vampire.

He snapped back to reality as Hermione called out his name in fright. The young wizard ran over to her and embraced her.

"Are you alright?" She was shaking in his arms slightly.

"He, he bit me." She whispered hoarsely. Harry looked at her neck, and there were two bite marks.

"He didn't get far, because Professor Snape came in." She tried to control herself and she clutched him tighter.

"He was so scary, Harry. He thought you and I were together. I tried to tell him we were just friends but he…he." She shivered and buried her head in his chest. Harry patted her, trying to comfort her as he watched the two vampires. He knew he had to stop it somehow. Snape was getting beaten up, badly.

"Hermione stay here." He let her go and she nodded, looking regretful of letting him go. The young man took a deep breath and ran full force toward the two vampires and rammed Lucas off his feet. Harry was on top of the man, stoking his cheek's soothingly.

"Lucas, call down, please." The red eyes turned indigo and his body stiffened.

"Get off me, Harry." He hissed pushing Harry off and standing up.

Not even looking at Harry he hauled Snape up and left the room. The young wizard was still on the floor looking slightly confused and hurt.

"Harry are you ok?" Hermione asked, kneeling down next to him.

"Yes, I'm fine." Harry tone indicated that everything wasn't fine, but he stood up off the dirty floor and dusted himself off.

"Harry he was mad at you, surely that's why he didn't want to touch you." She paused to study his face. "Why did he get mad?" She asked quietly looking up at him with her brown eyes.

Harry stood there lost in his thoughts. Lucas was beyond angry with Harry, that he didn't want to touch him. The vampire even brought Snape back to Hogwarts with out even caring about bringing Harry with him.

It kind of hurt, knowing he was responsible fore this whole thing, including Lucas' anger toward Snape and Hermione. All of this thoughts were jumbled up, not really deciding on things he should know. Like what he thought of Lucas, what he wanted Lucas and him to be… He looked up at Hermione.

"I need to think alone right now. I'm going to rent a room here for the night. See you tomorrow." Without waiting for her reply he swept out of the room in deep thought.

Snape protected Hermione and Harry with his life… did the man hate him now? Why did his potion's master hate Lucas so much? Did Harry…like Lucas?

After he numbly paid for his room he went up to his room and shut the door. He walked slowly to his window and looked out at the mid day sun. He did care for Lucas…deeply but he was just afraid to get too close to the Vampire. He knew he had to apologize to both Snape and Lucas tomorrow.

Sighing he collapsed on his bed and fell asleep, never realizing that far away in Hogwarts a man with purple eyes was thinking about him to.
