Damian's Parents

A/N: Alright...rewriting is soooo much fun! Please don't hesitate to review each chappie...I like to know what you think and I am not a mind reader clearly...

Ron was laying in his bed. Despite what Harry had pointed out to him the day before he really didn't like the thought of being stuck inside of a cell, watching scary looking vampires look into his cell. He felt as if he were a zoo animal, and he now knew why there were so many people who protested for animal rights.

"You, know, you could have asked me for a little privacy, I would have done at least that for you." Harry said from outside the door. Before Ron could asked Harry said, "I can read your thoughts. I'll put you into a new room if you'd like, or get you some shades so people can't look in."

"Shades would be nice." Ron commented softly.

"Then it shall be done."

Ron smiled. "Thank god, some privacy... I don't like going to the bathroom." Harry chuckled softly. Same old Ron. "But.. It's been pestering me...There are so many people here to bite, so why do I have to be here?"

"Vampires need to feed every three months. They need to feed off of a human or else they can die. There are a lot of vampires here so that's why we need you as well."

"Oh," Ron murmured softly, "I think I get it now. So, tell me more about your parents, what are they like?"

Harry shifted uncomfortably. "I'm not sure. It's weird having parents around, you know? Well, you don't but I'm sure Neville does. I like having them around though." Harry finished with a smile. Ron smiled too.

"What do they look like?"

"Well, Mum has a sweet look on her face always. She has very dark red hair, green eyes, paler than a usual vampire too. And dad, dad has messy hair like mine, blackish greyish eyes, he keeps a smile on very often. They look just like everyone described them to me. "

"Why haven't they been here for more than 20 years?"

Harry thought about this for a few moments. "Well, at first, they wanted to raise me at Godric's Hollow so they left the Caves. Then they faked their deaths and probably wanted a break from ruling for awhile. I'm trying to get them to come back though."

Ron nodded. "I guess you're thrilled that they're alive."

"Yeah I guess. Sometimes no, though..."

Ron's eyebrows etched together in confusion. "Why not?"

"I just don't understand how they didn't take me back in with them. It's not fair really. Even if they didn't want me to be raised as a vampire they should of at least given me a sign that they were alive and well. It's not fair. I was shoved into this vampire thing and even if I love being one sometimes I want out."

Ron looked at him oddly. "You are very complex Harry."

Harry grinned. "I know... So, what has Reese taught you so far?"

"Wow, talk about changing the subject." Harry chuckled again. "She was teaching me about respecting fellow vampires and staking."

"So, what did she say about it?"

"She said that you are lower than any vampire that is 50 or so years older than you and you should heed their words and respect them to almost the highest degree, the highest degree of respect is for the King, Queen and Prince.

"You cannot stake your fellow vampire even if they are the ones who turned you. The penalty is death for those who stake their comrades and it is not tolerated at all."

Harry nodded. "Very good. Reese has really been a good mentor so far and I'm happy with her. Please tell her that and continue to listen that well when she is teaching you alright?"

Ron nodded. Harry stood. "I need to get those curtains." Ron laughed and waved good-bye to Harry as he walked out of cell number six.
