Chapter 2

"What did he mean, thing are getting bad?"

"I know a lot of what is going happening on both sides, not because I know people who are on the dark side, but because of me uncle."

"Are you related to Vladimyre Ravenscroft? You know the creator of synthetic blood, the vampire ambassador, and count?"

"Yea, he's my uncle, and I'm his heir to the title. The reason I missed the train is because I was with my uncle trying to convince the Queen of the Vampires to join Dumbledore."

"But why did your uncle take you with him?"

"Because I have more influence there than him. You see, my mother is Princess Zeklos. But my parents are in hiding right now, so she couldn't go herself. We convinced the Court to give their word that when it comes time to fight, they will be on our side."

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Because if I didn't tell someone, I would have gone mad. And besides you are a good person, you're trustworthy, and honest." I paused to breath, seeing her look I explained, "I'm very good at reading people, it's almost like seeing, but I don't see the future, I see a person's soul. Just so you know, Umbridge is evil, her spirit is corrupted."

"Wow. Ok. So who is this Mikhail?" she asked. I walked to my trunk and pulled out a picture of him. Black hair, blue eyes, he looks like a supermodel. This is my boyfriend. He lives not far from my aunt and uncles castle. He's friends with Victor, and they both taught me how to play Quidditch. We were supposed to play against each other, but then we had to go to Court."

"What's Court? Like a trial?"

"No, Court is the short form of Vampire Court. I had to go to the other kind of court in America last December."

"What for?"

"Improper use of magic in the presence of muggles." I had to phrase that carefully, Hermione wouldn't like the truth. "I was expelled, and sent here."

By this time I was cleaning the room, using wand less and silent magic. Hermione was obviously impressed.

"When did you learn that?" she asked amazed.

"I interned with my aunt until May, and when making clothes, you usually don't have a free hand, so I had to learn wand less, and then my uncle taught me silent to go with it. Please don't tell anyone that I can do that."

"Don't worry, I won't."

"Hermione, one more thing, I can trust you not to tell anyone what I said here, right? I am going to tell Harry, but I have to be the one who tell him."

"Ok. You can rust me with anything."

"Thanks, and if you ever need in here, remember the Phoenix, it's important."

Startled, she repeated, "The Phoenix? Why is that?"

"Password, I like my privacy." I said as she turned and walked out the door, I whispered,"

After I closed the door I walked to my chest and opened the seventh lock. It is a special seven lock truck, with each lock opening a different trunk. The first is where I keep my essential items. 2nd is where I keep my sewing tools, and my dress dummies, shrunk. The 3rd holds my fabric. The 4th holds my fashion accessories and make-up. The 5th holds my fancy gowns (and the ones I wear to Court). The 6th holds all my books, all shrunk. And the 7th hold the most important items of all. It holds all of my potions equipment, and my bottles of synthetic blood.

I took out a bottle and closed the lid. I then took out my dummies, and dresses. I resized the dummies, and hung the dresses on them, to keep them from wrinkling. Once I had all of my things set up the way I wanted them I took out my design book and began to create.

One of the ups of being a vampire is that I don't need to sleep; another is not having to live off of food. I mean, I enjoy eating, a I have to eat every now and then, but as long as I'm drinking Uncle's SB(synthetic blood) I could go two weeks with out eating. The downside of being a vampire in hiding is the fact that you have to pretend to sleep if you share a room, and you have to eat, so people don't think you're anorexic.

I don't think I would have come if it wasn't for Uncle arranging a private room for me. The Headmaster knows what I am, and agreed that as long as I don't attack anyone in the castle, I am allowed to stay. I think I will like it here.

When my watch read midnight I went to the window and opened it. I conjured a floor pillow, sat dowm and began to meditate.
