The first week of classes went by without much happening. The new girls kept mostly to themselves. Just entering one class, one could tell that the girls were bored. They very rarely paid any attention during class but no one could figure out why they still passed. The girls mostly stayed in the dungeons during their free time. Only occasionally will the girls would be found outside. Everyone wondered what they did during their free time, but on one dared to ask. What surprised people the most was the respect the girls seemed to have with Draco. No one had ever seen him stand up to them or try to push them around. He followed them around like a lost puppy, only doing what they told him to do.

Harry had been noticing Draco doing everything for the girls. He knew Draco had changed, just like he had. Harry had begun to distance himself away from his friends, even though they did not notice it. He knew that Dumbledore was not thrilled about it, but Harry really did not care what he thought anymore. He had learned the truth about what Dumbledore was really up to late one night while he was wondering the corridors. He had overheard him talking to another person. He learned that Dumbledore had organized the entire war, starting with Tom. Harry was surprised at first over how quickly Dumbledore worked in order to control everyone. He began to loose faith in everything people told him. He just did not know who to believe anymore.

Harry watched the newly formed trio heading out towards the lake. His curiosity got the better of him and he followed them. He stayed at a distance trying to stay hidden. They continued to walk until they came upon the edge of the lake. Harry hid behind a tree that was close by. He was close enough to hear them yet far enough away to not be seen.

Draco moved out of the way and sat at the base of a tree. He smirked as he watched the girls fall into a fighting stance. It had been a while since he had the privilege to watch the girls fight. It was very rare to watch his Lord's daughter train. In fact, he was one of the three to ever get the chance to watch. Not even the most loyal followers could brag about that. His father and Snape were the other two. Draco heard breathing coming from behind the tree he was currently sitting at. He smirked as he figured out who would be brave enough to follow them. He was surprised to hear that the person was alone and not with his band of friends. His attention turned back to the girls as they begun to fight. At first, it appeared that Hyacintha had the upper hand but soon Auaraya pulled some interesting moves. She began to bet Hyacintha back.

The small battle lasted for a few good hours. Draco smirked at the power being projected by the two girls. No one stood a chance against them when they worked together. He watched as Auaraya pulled off a finishing move, effectively pinning Hyacintha to the ground. She was grinning as she helped her friend off the ground. Draco stood up and joined them by the lake.

"Very good. You have improved quiet a bit." Auaraya said still smiling.

"Father took over my training when you left." Hyacintha replied.

"Man I feel sorry for you." Draco said.

"Don't be. He's tough on everyone." She said.

"Well, he taught you well. You almost had me bet." Auaraya said.

"He never gave me a break. He even brought in Lucius in to help."

"My father went easy on you and you know it." Draco piped in.

"True. I just think he was afraid I would hurt him." Hyacintha grinned.

"He did come home a few times to score to move." Draco smirked.

"Those times I was just plan out furious. He didn't have to call in Snape."

"You just didn't have the best luck did you?"

"Well, I did kick his ass a few times as well. I think both Snape and Lucius limped away once trying to comfort one another." Draco and Hyacintha began to laugh at the image that came to mind.

"Quiet you two. We have an audience or a spy." Auaraya said as she looked to the tree trying to figure out who had followed them.

Draco left the girls and came up behind Harry, successfully scaring him. He smirked as he walked away with Harry following closely. Harry knew that he had been caught and did not see the point of hiding anymore.

"So why were you spying on us?" Auaraya said standing slightly in front of Hyacintha.

"No reason. I just felt like following you." Harry said crossing his arms.

"You shouldn't have." Draco said slightly smirking. Harry actually began to look nerves and regretting his actions.

"So I don't want to hang out with any of my so called friends, nor do I want to listen to any professor here really. I don't care what anyone has to say." Harry said as he began to become angry.

"You have to prove that you can hang with us." Auaraya said.

"How do I do that?" Harry asked.

"You have to fight her." Draco replied. He smirked as Harry began to panic. He knew what Harry was going through, he had to go through the same challenge. He figured Harry would back out.

"Alright, I'll fight." Harry said surprising not only himself but everyone else present as well. He stood in front of Auaraya looking as if he was serious. Auaraya nodded her head and took a fighting stance. Harry copied her and took a stance similar to hers. He had no clue as to what he had gotten himself into.

Auaraya began to attack as Harry tried his best to deflect the blows. He tried to throw in some punches but Auaraya was too quick. It was not very long and it almost seemed pointless. Everyone could tell that Auaraya had Harry bet the minute the match began. Not to long into the fight, Harry found himself lying in the dirt with Auaraya standing over him smirking. He closed his eyes in defeat thinking that it was all over. He would never be able to hang out with them sometime. He was surprised when Draco helped him to stand up.

"Don't worry, you did good for someone who went up against one of them." Draco said actually smiling.

"You mean I didn't have to win?" Harry asked.

"No. I was just testing you to see if you could hold your own." Auaraya responded.

"Huh?" Harry said confused.

"She means that you have potential if you had a descent teacher." Draco answered.

"Oh, so did you have to go through that?" Harry asked Draco.

"Yes, the first time I met Kina actually. Then I had to again when I met Raya."

"You had to fight both of them?"

"Yea but my father has been teaching me since I was six. So I had a better chance than you did."

Harry began to look around at the small group. They did not seem like much but today proved him wrong. His eyes landed on Hyacintha who had not moved or spoken at all. He noticed how pale she had become and she looked on the verge of passing out. Draco and Auaraya followed Harry's line of eyesight to see what grabbed his attention.

Draco was the first to respond as he ran over to her and caught her just as she passed out. He gently held her in his arms as he began to walk away. Auaraya followed shortly behind them, leaving Harry to hurry after them. He did not know where they were going to take her but he soon realized that it was not the hospital wing. Instead, they headed down into the dungeons, stopping just outside the entrance to the Slytherin common room.

"Shouldn't she be in the hospital wing?" Harry questioned.

"No, she will be fine by tonight." Draco answered.

"But are you sure?"

"Stop asking questions and don't worry." Auaraya said before she whispered the password. The door opened and Draco quickly walked in with Hyacintha in his arms. Harry moved to follow them but Auaraya quickly blocked his way.

"Met us tonight at midnight by the lake." She said before walking into the common room. The door closed behind her, locking Harry out in the hall alone. He just stood there trying to figure out what was going on. He quickly left for his own dorm hoping she would be alright. Harry felt as if he belonged with them. He felt that they were what was missing from his life. He desperately wanted to be friends with them. He made it back to his dorm and quickly laid out on the bed. He could not believe how tired he was from the little fight he had with Auaraya. He soon fell asleep dreaming of his mystery girl.

Harry awoke to find it to be 11:45pm. He had 15 minutes to make it out to the lake. He quickly got ready and quietly snuck out of the dorm room. He made it out to the lake with five minutes to spare. He noticed that they were already there. It looked as though they had been there for some time. Draco was sitting on a log with Hyacintha straddling his lap. Auaraya was sitting near them. All eyes turned toward him as he came closer. He sat on the ground in front of them. He still was not to sure about what they were doing outside at midnight. Hyacintha slipped off Draco's lap and sat next to him. She kept hold of his hand though.

"We need to know something." Hyacintha said.

"Ok." Harry responded nervously.

"Why did you truly follow us today?"

"Well, I wanted to know what you were up and I become curious."

"Is that the only reason?"

"It may seem strange but I felt drawn to you when you first appeared."

"Have you been having strange dreams lately?"

"Umm yea, I've had them all summer."

"It's what I though. Have you felt protective of Auaraya?"

"Yes, I was jealous that Draco was so close to her."

Hyacintha glanced over to Auaraya, who glanced back. They both knew that Harry needed to be told why he was having those feelings. Auaraya knew that Hyacintha was leaving the rest of the questions to her.

Harry watched as Hyacintha moved back onto Draco's lap, her back facing him. He knew she was not going to be asked any more questions from her.

"What do you know about vampires?" Auaraya asked Harry.

Harry's attention turned back to Auaraya as his eyes lit up. Harry quickly remembered the book he had hidden away. He began to believe that it was real. His eyes went back to Draco and Hyacintha just as she bit into Draco's neck drinking up his blood. Harry saw how Draco kept a tight hold of her so that she did not slip off his lap. His eyes were closed as if he was enjoying it.

"You are vampires?" Harry directed his question back to Auaraya.

"Yes but not like the ones you have heard about."

"What do you mean?"

"Well for starters, we can stay in daylight but we become extremely weak. We thrive off the blood of others. One thing that is different is that nothing can kill us except for a very rare spell that had been lost for centuries. Someone with very little power would not be able to use it."

"How could a spell kill off your kind?"

"Well it is an ancient spell that does not require a wand. If the spell is done correctly, it can kill off the entire race or just an individual. If done poorly, it may not be effective or backfire on the spell caster. If that happens, the spell caster may be killed or all his allies would be rendered powerless and knocked out for hours."

"Wow! Has anyone ever found the spell and used it?"

"Only one other person has the spell. As far as I know, it has not been used yet or my clan would not have been here. I don't know where it is kept. It is a dangerous spell and only someone with a large amount of power can cast it."

"Who has the spell? Can you destroy it so it can't cause harm?"

"I had been sent out to locate it but all I came across were rumors. If there is a way to destroy it then it would have been done before."

"What are you doing here if the spell is out there somewhere?"

"She is on a mission to protect me." Hyacintha said, coming into the conversation at last.

Harry did not notice when she had finished her meal. He looked over at Draco expecting to see him dead. He was surprised when Draco just smiled and waved at him. His shock must have shown for the girls began to giggle.

"She did not drink enough to have him killed. Actually, come to think of it, she hasn't been as active as she had been before." Auaraya said smiling at her friend.

"Active?" Harry questioned.

"Yea, as in killing. She used to kill at least five every night." Auaraya answered.

Harry was somewhat scared and slightly confused. It was not everyday that he watched a vampire feed and the victim still live unturned. Nor was it learning that one used to kill five or more people in a single night.

"I can feed off of him and not have him turned. My apatite changed this afternoon I think." Hyacintha said looking thoughtful.

"When did you first feed off of Draco?" Auaraya asked.

"I think it was this afternoon when I was too weak to stand. I needed blood and he let me drink from him. Why?" Hyacintha responded.

Auaraya's eyes lit up, "You know what that means?"

"Huh? Oh… it can't be… you mean… his…" Hyacintha became lost to words.

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"You will find out later." Auaraya answered.

"Any more questions?" Hyacintha asked Harry.

"Not at the moment." Harry responded.

"Give him a break, he just learned a tone of things he thought was all myth." Draco said playfully. The three friends began to bicker over anything that came to their minds. They all knew it was just something to do for fun.

Harry just sat there taking in all that he had learned. He watched the whole interaction between the three friends. They all behaved so childish at times while other times they seemed just too serious. Harry knew that they were all good friends and he began to miss having a close friendship like they had. To put it mildly, Harry had begun to feel left out.

"There is no reason to think that way." Harry blinked. He did not realize Auaraya had slipped into his lap. He blushed slightly as she ran her tongue along the side of his neck, taking in his taste. Harry's eyes grew wide when he felt her bite into the place between his shoulders and neck.

A/N: It took me a while to actually get an idea for this chapter. I actually wrote it during my art history class. The next chapter is being worked on and I hope to have it up soon. I have finals coming up, so it may have to wait until they are finished. After that, I should have some time to work on the chapter and get it posted. Until next time.
