With the winter Holidays only a few weeks away, the students became more excited. Many began to buy gifts for their friends and family, while others tried to finalize plans. The students were surprised when extra trips to Hogsmade were scheduled just for the students to do some holiday shopping. Some students took the chance to take a break and just hang out with their friends. Harry and Draco convinced the girls to take a trip down to the village to get away from the castle. It had taken them a week to convince them but they eventually caved in.

"Come on you'll love it. There are so many stores to visit." Harry was saying to the girls as they headed towards Hogsmade. Harry and Draco were describing what the village was like to Auaraya and Hyacintha. It was the first time that the girls were entering the small village for the first since arriving to the school.

"Yea, they have a little bit f everything." Draco said.

"Like what kind of shops?" Hyacintha asked.

"Any that we would like?" Auaraya asked.

"Maybe. You'll have to wait and see though." Harry replied.

The group headed on into the village. The boys showed the girls around to all the different shops. Soon enough, the boys had to nearly drag the girls away from the shop before they blew all their money. Some students would openly stare at the girls not used to them without their cloaks, but it was slowly beginning to die down as the girls continued to keep the cloaks in their room. They were also slowly wearing the school uniform, but they added their own style to it. They eventually split into groups to cover shopping for each other. They agreed to meet up at Honeydukes for lunch. The first to arrive were Auaraya and Harry. Auaraya found a table while Harry ordered drinks. They had finished their shopping for the other two a few minutes early and grew hungry.

"We're early." Harry said as he sat the drinks down at the table. He took a seat next to Auaraya.

"Only by a few minutes." Besides, they should be arriving soon." Auaraya responded.

"How fast does she shop?"

"She can shop like me. Anywhere from a matter of minutes to hours."

"We'll be here for a while then."

"More than likely."

"Great."

"You said it."

"So what does the house look like?"

"What house?"

"Hyacintha's house. The place we are going for the holidays."

"Oh. It's nothing like you think of at first. The place is huge."

As Harry and Auaraya talked about the up coming break, Draco and Hyacintha walked in laughing. It seemed as if they had a good time. They sat down at the table across from the other two.

"What's so funny?" Harry asked.

"We were just talking about some things that took place last winter break." Draco said.

"Yea it happened during a gathering." Hyacintha said.

"A gathering?" Harry said a little uneasily. No one knew how to respond to the questioned. Instead they choose to avoid the question.

"Oh, I've heard of this one. Someone sky dived into the area on a dare." Auaraya said smiling.

"Yeah. It was actually about three of them." Draco said.

"How do you know about it, Draco?" Harry asked.

"My father was sent there and he took me with him." Draco responded.

"Your father was sent there? For what?" Harry asked.

"He was sent there as a body guard." Draco shrugged.

Harry was about to ask another question but was interrupted by a loud commotion outside. All four teens glanced at one another before all rushed out to see what was going on. They walked out into a large panic. At first it looked like a group of Death Eaters but there seemed to be something different about them. They had their wands out shouting out a strange spell. The spell did not seem to hurt anyone, but it did cause some damages. The four teens tried to find a place to hide. Several of the attackers noticed the teen's plan for escape and shot the spell toward them.

"Look out!" Auaraya shouted as she ran to push Hyacintha out of the way. Draco helped her back up and pulled on her arm to get her moving again.

"Auaraya!" she yelled trying to break free from Draco as she watched her friend be hit by the spell. She finally pulled loose as she ran to her friend's side. She sighed in relief when she found her friend still alive. She did not hear another voice send the spell at her.

Harry and Draco watched in horror as the spell hit Hyacintha. They scrambled to her side as she hit the ground. Both girls laid motionless side by side.

"What was that spell?" Harry asked as he sat by Auaraya's side.

"I don't know. I've never heard it before." Draco responded softly as he slowly brushed hair away from Hyacintha's face. Harry kept an eye out for anymore attackers. He did not hear or see the strange man join them.

"The spell was done wrong. They will be alright." said the man kneeling down next to the boys. Both boys jumped at his voice. They turned to look at the man.

"Who are you?"

"Where did you come from?"

"How do you know?" The both began to ask at the same time, blending in all the questions together. The man chuckled at all of their questions.

"One question at a time." he said to them as he examined the damage the spell may have caused.

"Who are you?" Draco asked first.

"My name is Damien. I was sent to look after these two. A body guard you might say." he answered,

"How do you know if they will be ok?" Harry asked.

"I was told of the spell used. If said correctly, it can kill the members of my race. The spell was said wrong which only seems to stun them." Damien answered.

"If you know about the spell then why didn't they know?" Draco asked.

"Hyacintha should have received a letter from her father about it. Did she not get one?" Damien wondered.

"No letter as been sent as far as I know of. " Draco said.

"The spell was recently discovered when a few of our people were killed. One of the young witnessed the spell first hand when a group killed his friend."

"How are you going to guard them?" Harry asked.

"I managed to convince the Headmaster to become an assistant to a professor."

"Which teacher will it be?" Draco asked.

"Don't know yet. I was given a week with each professor to decide. Come on. Let's get these two up to the castle. Her father will want to hear of this." Damien said standing up. Draco picked Hyacintha up and cradled her in his arms. Harry followed Draco's example with Auaraya. Damien just watched the two boys with a thoughtful look before heading back to the school. Surprisingly, the attack did not last for very long. Everyone was caring for the ones who were injured when the buildings crumbled.

"So, do you know who attacked us? It was Death Eaters right?" Harry asked growing angry as he walked along beside of Damien.

"It was not them. They would not have attacked these two. Especially her." he said pointing to Hyacintha.

"Why not?" Harry asked.

"Orders." was all Damien replied.

"Then who were those people?" Draco asked coming up beside of Damien.

"I don't know. Probably from the same group of people who wants the clan dead."

"Why would anyone want your people dead?" Harry asked.

"My clan is the last of the original clan of vampires. In order to understand it, you would need some information of the history. Now I do believe I have just figured out what teaching position I will take."

"Let me guess. The DADA." Draco said smiling.

"Yes, but first we need to take care of these two. There did not seem to be any damages or anything. So they should be fine."

They quickly headed toward the castle without stopping for anything. Most of the other students were already in the Great Hall. A few were injured while some were still heading to the doors. They entered the castle and was blocked by Dumbledore.

"What happened to them?" he asked, appearing to be concerned. Damien frowned at the man before he decided to reply.

"They were attacked. What do you think happened and where do you think the students were injured. "Damien said eyeing the man.

"Who would attack Hogwarts students? Was it Death Eaters?" Dumbledore asked.

"It would appear so. Now I must attend to them." Damien replied.

"You should take them to the infirmary."

"No, I will see to them myself." Damien said as he motioned the boys to follow him. Harry hung back a moment before he decided to speak his mind.

"They seem to be the only ones seriously attacked, Sir." Harry said as he noticed Damien stopping in his tracks and looked back at him with a cold emotionless stare.

"Really? They don't seem to be to hurt to me." Dumbledore replied.

"They were hit by a spell, but Sir, The attackers looked like Death Eaters but there seemed to be something different about them." Harry said. He saw Damien headed back his way with Draco standing where he left him.

Dumbledore seemed to be in deep thought over something, when Damien appeared. He pretended to be distracted by something else and excused himself. Damien glanced to Harry and frowned.

"Why did you tell him all of that?" Damien said in a demanding voice.

"Just to give him something to think about." Harry replied smirking.

"Oh?"

"Yea, if one person noticed the difference maybe others will. Before he would know it, people would be questioning his judgment."

Damien looked impressed. He just nodded and headed back over to Draco. Harry followed him and together, they all headed toward the Slytherin common room. When they arrived at the painting that led to the common room, Draco whispered the password. They slipped in and headed toward the dorm rooms. A sudden hush fell upon the room as they walked by. When they closed the door to the dorm room, everyone began to figure out what had happened to the two girls and why Harry Potter was in the Slytherin common room.

The boys laid the girls down on the beds as Damien checked them over. The magic he used seemed complicated and more advanced than Harry knew of. Damien looked over the girls and was at a loss. He did not know what to make of the affects the spell did. He noted the lack of change from either one. He was looking over Auaraya when Harry spoke up.

"Wait a sec. You said that a spell said wrong did this to them. Is it the same spell that could kill your people?" Harry asked suddenly. Damien looked up from examining Auaraya.

"Yes. It is." He said finally.

"But I thought that the spell was lost and your people were trying to find it." Draco added.

"We thought it was lost. It appears that someone found it and modified it. That same person is teaching the spell to others."

"So who has the spell?" Harry asked.

"That's just it. We are working on finding out who that person is."

"How long before they wake up?" Draco wondered.

"It's hard to tell. I have actually never really known this would happen."

"WHAT!" the boys said together.

"This has just been happening recently. As far as we know, our people have become hunted. Many are in hiding now. Therefore, we don't have much to go by. Look all we can do is watch over them tonight and hope they will awaken tomorrow."

All three took turns watching over the girls for the rest of the day and throughout the night. A few students knocked on the door to find out what happened but it wasn't many.

The next morning, Auaraya began to awake. Harry was sitting by her side when her eyes opened up. She smiled when she saw him. She slowly sat up in bed and stretched.

"What happened?" she asked.

"You were hit by a spell designed to kill your people." Harry answered.

"Then why am I still alive?"

"The spell was said wrong."

Auaraya glanced around the room. She noticed two other beds that were empty. She knew that she wasn't in her own dorm but someone else's.

"Which dorm am I in?" she asked.

"I think its Draco's. He did say that he shared with two others."

"Then where is Hyacintha? I know that spell was aimed at her before I pushed her out of the way." Auaraya began, wondering where her life long friend was. Harry hung his head, which caused Auaraya to become concerned.

"She was hit by the spell shortly after you." Harry said slowly.

"What! You and Draco were suppose to keep her out of the way."

"She broke lose of Draco's grip and ran to your side. Before we could get to her, she was hit."

"Is she ok? I need to find her." Auaraya began trying to get up. Harry kept her firmly on the bed.

"She is fine. She woke up not too long ago and is sending a letter to her father." Harry said calming Auaraya down some.

"As long as she is ok."

"Do you know someone by the name of Damien?"

"Yeah, he is among the bodyguards to our leader and his family. Why?"

"Well he is here. He says he was sent here. I was just checking."

"Usually bodyguards are ever sent away from the clan leader. It must have been important for him to guard us here."

"Isn't Hyacintha the daughter of the clan leader?"

"Yes."

"Then wouldn't she be considered to have a bodyguard?"

"Yeas and she does but her father has them posted elsewhere. He gave up with guards when she slipped away from every single one since she was five. Damien is only called upon for the most extreme cases. What spell did you say hit me?"

"The killing spell of your people."

"I thought that one was lost."

According to Damien, someone found it and modified the spell."

Auaraya sat lost in thought over the new information. She didn't know what to think of it all.

"You know, this means dark times are ahead or at least coming." Auaraya said. She was not to sure if it was true or not. She did know that things were about to change greatly. As she sat lost in thought, Draco came walking in. He smiled when he saw Auaraya up but the smile did not quite reach his eyes. Admittedly, Auaraya thought something happened to her closest friend.

"What's wrong? Nothing else happened did it?" Auaraya began to question.

"Everything's fine. It's just Damien getting on my nerves some and the Headmaster has cancelled most of the Hogsmade trips because of the last attack. He doesn't want any Hogwarts students harmed." Draco said.

"Did he say who attacked that day?" Harry asked thoughtful.

"Yeah, he said it was Death Eaters. As if it was them. I know for a fact that it wasn't them." Draco said.

"How do you know? It could have been planned or someone who knows of the spell could have easily fell in with them." Harry said. Silence fell among the group. No one responded to the statement.

"Harry, you even said it felt wrong during the attack. The only other thing is that the headmaster is covering for that group that attacked." Draco said trying to reason with him.

"Even so, there is no way of knowing for sure if it was the headmaster or not covering for them. We can't just accuse him of being the mastermind behind the killings and destruction of the clan." Harry added.

"Maybe not. There is only one way to be sure. We would have to raid his office one night to learn if he is behind this or not." Auaraya said softly.

"It would have to wait until a better time. Father doesn't want us to look into it just yet. He doesn't want us to know too much and become suspicious." Hyacintha said walking into the room followed closely by Damien.

"Need a babysitter or protection of some sort?" Auaraya teased.

"Thought I would test a guard out. You know have him follow me around like an overbearing parent." Hyacintha said smiling.

"So what all did your father say?" Harry asked.

"Well, we were talking about how well the weather was and how nice it was for all of us to be around for the Winter Holidays. " Hyacintha said sarcastically. "What else would we be talking about? He is furious over the attack, and has deemed it worth having a guard around now." Hyacintha said rolling her eyes. She ran over and jumped on the bed next to her friend. "Oh, and your parents came back from their latest mission."

"For how long?" Auaraya asked, making room for her friend to lie down beside of her.

"For a while. Everyone is being called back before anymore go missing. Already there as been around forty who have gone missing." Hyacintha said.

The room went quiet for sometime. Each one pondering over their own thought about the turn of events. Damien stood quietly in a corner by the door watching the four young people under his protection. He felt that he was going to need more help then what he had to keep these four safe.

"Listen, I have some friends that I need to go talk with. I'll be back later." Draco said.

"Alright. Keep an ear open for anything relating to the attack." Hyacintha said from her place on the bed.

Draco nodded and left the room. No one spoke for a few moments more until there was a knock at the door. Damien opened the door slightly. He nodded at whoever was at the door before closing it and turned back toward the three gathered on the bed. He rubbed the back of his head before heading over to the bed. He watched the three friends and knew the news he had just received would be devastating to one of the group. Hyacintha was stretched out on the bed beside her friend playing with a piece of her hair, her eyes watching him closely. Auaraya had moved over slightly to make room for Harry to sit beside of her, their fingers enter locked. He shook his head not knowing how to break the news.

"Who was at the door?" Auaraya finally asked.

"One of my correspondents." Damien replied glancing nervously to Hyacintha.

"Wait, you mean there is more than one of you?" Harry asked.

"Two others actually."

"Just two others? Are you sure there are no others?" Hyacintha said anger flashing in her eyes.

"No others, I promise." Damien said showing no emotions.

"What did he want?" Auaraya said stopping the two from starting a fight. One that she would have to end quickly before one of them had gotten seriously hurt.

"It's bad. Someone else has come up missing. This time it was someone younger."

"Who was it?" Hyacintha said suddenly.

"It was Jess. Her parents reported in saying that she was due to come home but she never arrived." Damien said.

"Who's Jess?" Harry asked.

"She is a friend. A very close friend." Hyacintha said.

"It gets worse." Damien said.

"How much worse?" Hyacintha asked.

"Your father was attacked during a meeting that was being held." Damien said backing away slightly. There was no need though, Hyacintha sat up in complete shock.

"Do you know who it was?" Auaraya asked, sitting up and rubbing circles on her friends back to calm her down some.

"Nobody knows who it was. They do have him in the…" Damien began before eyeing Harry.

"That's not what I want to know. How did someone get close enough for that to happen?" Hyacintha finally asked, though still in complete shock.

"They are still figuring it out." Damien said slowly coming to stand beside of his young charge. He knew she would be upset but no one knew how much.

"When did it happen?" Hyacintha asked leaning into her friends arms.

"It happened last night. Your parents got into a fight over it and haven't really spoken to each other since." Damien said placing a hand on her shoulder. Harry looked on before whispering to Auaraya that he would be back. He left the room in search of one person he knew would help his new found friend.

"Why didn't they tell me earlier?" Hyacintha said sounding so lost.

"They didn't want you to worry. My correspondent found out and came to tell me as soon as he could."

"When did they find out?" Auaraya asked for her friend.

"When he went to report about the attack here. They finally came to and agreement but it's still rough." Damien fell silent as he noted the lost look in Hyacintha's eyes. Just when no one else knew what to do to help her, Draco came rushing in followed by Harry. Draco nearly pushed Damien out of the way and pulled Hyacintha to his arms.

"I have to get out of here." Hyacintha said getting up and walking out. Draco stayed with her the whole way. Damien followed slowly behind the pair. Harry and Auaraya were left in the room. Harry walked over to the bed and sat back down.

"I hope she will be alright." Harry said.

"With us around, it will be slightly easy on her. She just needs some time." Auaraya replied.

Harry didn't say anything. He just pulled her close to him. He wrapped his arms around her as he laid out beside of her.

"You know, I never told you this but I was afraid that I had lost you when I saw the spell hit you." Harry said softly. Auaraya smiled and nudged closer to Harry.

"I'll be more careful next time." Auaraya said. Harry smiled and kissed her.

"You need to feed." He mumbled against her skin.

"I know. And you are becoming better at detecting when I need to feed." Auaraya said.

"I know." Harry said smiling.

"It develops deeper." Auaraya said scrapping her fangs along the skin of his neck.

"Go ahead, feed." Harry gasped as Auaraya sank her teeth into his neck. She slowly began to feed from him. His eyes closed in bliss as she continued to feed. He slowly ran his hand up and down her back. He pulled her closer to him until he felt her stop. She lifted her head after licking up the last drops of blood. She watched the mark slowly begin to fade. Harry brought his face down and captured her lips in a gentle kiss. She moaned and kissed him back with a little more force, causing him to moan in response. Harry ran his tongue along her lips, silently seeking entrance. She parted her closed lips in response, allowing him to explore every inch of her mouth with his tongue. The kiss deepened as Harry carefully rolled them so that he was on top of her, never breaking the kiss. His hands positioned on either side of her for support. They soon broke apart for air, the kiss leaving them both panting for breathe and wanting more. Auaraya smiled up at Harry, her eyes sparkling. Harry returned the smile as he slowly lowered himself down and kissed her deeply once again.

Things began to heat up between the two as the kissing grew. Harry began to kiss down her jaw to her throat. Auaraya ran her hands to the bottom of Harry's shirt and began to tug it off. They broke the kiss long enough for Auaraya to take Harry's shirt off him. She smiled when she saw his well defined muscles from playing Quidditch. Harry positioned himself between her legs so his hands were free to roam. He began to kiss her again as he started to lift her shirt off her. Auaraya was lying under Harry in a sports bra. His hand rubbed her flat stomach, slowly coming up to cup her breast. He slowed the kiss down somewhat to take in the pleasure of it all. As things continued to heat up, their clothes became less and less. Harry was now clad in only his boxers while Auaraya just had on her black underwear. Her bra had come off and was thrown somewhere. Harry pulled back for a moment and looked into Auaraya's eyes.

"Are you sure you want to go farther?" he asked not wanting to push her.

"Positive." she smiled back causing Harry to smile in return.

Just as they were about to continue, the door burst open and in walked Hyacintha.

"Hey just letting you know it's time for din…"Hyacintha stopped short once she saw their state of dress. Her jaw dropped open as she quickly covered her eyes and turned around. She started to mumble something under her breathe as she walked back out of the room, using her power to shut the door behind her.

Harry and Auaraya let out a breathe that they had been holding as soon as the door closed. Harry hung his head smiling a little. He quickly turned his attention back to Auaraya and began kissing her again. It quickly got things to heat back up between them. Harry pulled Auaraya's panties off as Auaraya pulled Harry's boxers off. Soon they were each lying nude with a hunger for each other still burning in each other's eyes. Harry slowly positioned himself at Auaraya's entrance when the door burst open yet again. Harry hung his head in near anger and frustration.

"Do you know why Hyacintha acts like she's…" Draco trailed off when he noticed the couple on the bed. "Shit!" he said as he practically ran from the room.

"Do you suppose we should try to finish this after dinner?" Auaraya said teasing.

"I'm beginning to wonder. How long before Damien decides to grace us with his presence." Harry asked amused.

"Maybe not to long. We should get dressed and wait till everyone else is asleep." Auaraya said pushing herself upon her elbows.

"Yea. Maybe then we can have some privacy." Harry teased as he got up off the bed.

The couple began to look around the room for their discarded clothes. Auaraya had wrapped a sheet around her while Harry walked around in the nude. Auaraya could not keep her eyes off her boyfriend's behind. Harry was near the bed and just found his boxers when the door opened for the third time but this time it was Damien. Damien looked from one to the other and sighed. Harry quickly grabbed a pillow and covered his front side.

"Well at least you two are getting ready. Hurry up, time for dinner and then you two can continue to play." Damien said taking one last look at the couple before leaving the room. Auaraya sighed before looking over at a blushing Harry.

"Told you it wouldn't be too long. At least this time we were covered." Auaraya said as she found her underwear.

"Yea, to a pointed at lest." Harry replied slipping on his boxers. It took several more minutes for the couple to find all of their clothes before they were ready to join the others. They walked hand in hand down the stairs and into the common room.

The room was empty, with the exception of Hyacintha and Draco. Damien was not seen anywhere. They assumed he was lurking in the shadows. Auaraya's eyes fell onto the form of her friend. Hyacintha was straddling Draco's lap and appeared to be kissing his neck. He knew that it was not so. Her friend was feeding. She knew that it was more than just feeding. Her friend had a tiring day and an emotional one. This feeding was on outlet for her anger. There was no need to worry about Draco, her friend would never hurt him. She knew that interrupting something on this scale would be devastating. She glanced over at Harry who appeared to be on the verge of saying something to the couple on the couch.

"Shh… Don't say anything yet. Be quiet." Auaraya advised Harry.

"Why?" Harry asked quietly.

"Because if she noticed us, she will stop feeding. If that happens, then you can deal with her at dinner." Auaraya said.

"Hey you two. Times up." Harry said in a louder voice. He glanced over at Auaraya who was glaring at him. He turned his attention back to the couple on the couch. Hyacintha's head had shot up and she was giving Harry a death look. Harry flinched when he saw her powerful red eyes staring at him. Her fangs flashed causing Harry to take a step back. He wasn't the only one who moved back. Auaraya moved away when she saw just how far gone Hyacintha was. In a flash, Hyacintha was off Draco's lap and advancing upon Harry. Her face looked of pure evil as she ran her tongue along her blood red lips and teeth.

"Fuck." Auaraya said as she grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him out of the way to the other side of the room, just as Hyacintha jumped the distance at Harry. She had over estimated her friend. Harry began to panic and moved as far away as he could, putting as much distance between him and Hyacintha as possible. He ended up near the couch where Draco sat. He looked at Draco with pleading eyes, noting that he was doing just fine from the powerful feeding Hyacintha had just done. Draco had watched on with more confusion than anything else. He had no clue as to what was going on.

"What did I do?" Harry asked nervously from his hiding space. He continued to watch Auaraya try to calm Hyacintha back down.

"You opened your big mouth and interrupted her feeding." Damien spoke up from behind Harry.

"How was I suppose to know this would happen?" Harry asked hiding his surprise.

"Auaraya did warn you not to say a word, did she not?"

"Yea but she didn't say this would happen."

"Hyacintha is much like her father. As long as they are comfortable in a room, they will feed and not bother anyone."

"But she fed around me before."

"Only because Auaraya was feeding at the same time. She knew I was here before she began to feed. She is comfortable around Auaraya but you are still to new to her. Although this has never happened before."

"So how is this any different? I man why did she act this way now?"

"I don't know, but I will find out."

"I should have listened to Auaraya." Harry mumbled not realizing the great hearing that Damien had.

"Yes you should have. Come now, it is safe." Damien said leaving Harry to join the others. It took some time before the group was located. Draco had Hyacintha secured in his arms, her face buried in his shirt. Auaraya glanced at Harry and nodded. She did not appear to be mad at him.

"It wasn't entirely your fault. She was frustrated with other things." Auaraya said softly.

"Oh." Harry replied as he noticed Hyacintha trembling slightly.

"Come on, all of you need to go up to dinner now." Damien said ushering the group out. Harry noticed how Hyacintha stayed tucked in Draco's arms. She was being quiet. In fact, she was unusually quiet. He watched as she seemed to be trying to hide from other students.

"Will she be alright?" Harry asked looking to Auaraya.

"Yes. She is just on nerve right now. Maybe feeling the need for a kill." Auaraya replied.

"A kill?"

"I said maybe. To be honest, I do not really know what to do."

Harry just blinked. It was pretty silent to the Great Hall. Other students walked past them not giving any of them a second glance. They entered the Great Hall and Hyacintha seemed to shrink against Draco even more. They walked over to the Slytherin table. Harry was yanked away by other members of his house. Auaraya just rolled her eyes at him before sitting next to Hyacintha and Draco. Draco's arm was still wrapped around Hyacintha, protectively. She was becoming slightly worried for her too silent friend. Draco and Auaraya tried to get Hyacintha to talk to them all throughout dinner but she remained quiet. Harry managed to escape his house and sat across from the three Slytherins. He even tried to help get Hyacintha to talk with no such luck.

It had been two days since the attack and students were all talking about it. Mostly everyone was trying to find out what had made Hyacintha not talking. Dinner went by in much the same manner as many times before. Draco and Auaraya would take turns trying to get their young friend to say something. Harry even tried to help out when he could but no one was having any luck. As dinner approached to the end, Dumbledore stood up to give an announcement. Everyone gave him their attention. Harry kept an eye on Hyacintha before looking towards Dumbledore.

"It has come to my attention that the attack on Hogsmade was arranged to bring out an old race of vampires. Any of those who was reported attacked and injured severally have been closely monitored and have been named as members of this race." he said, his eyes landing on Hyacintha and Auaraya. "Further more, the ministry has come to conclude that these students should be brought forth to attention and…" Dumbledore broke off from his speech as the doors to the Great Hall opened. In walked a group of people, all wearing long black clocks. The group was made up of five people. The group appeared to be threatening. Fierce silvery eyes were fixed upon Dumbledore. Dumbledore tried to hide is surprise.

"How dare you!" the leader of the group said coming forward.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Dumbledore began.

"You placed one of my own in danger. How could you allow for this to happen?" he said.

"Sir, I honestly don't know what you are talking about. If you are referring to the attack a few days back, then you are sadly mistaken. Those responsible were the followers of Voldemort." Dumbledore said.

"Bullshit! Just like you have nothing to do with the ministry's decision on the extermination of my race!" the leader said growing angrier by the minute.

"I'm sorry Sir, but the ministry has deemed it necessary since they have viewed your race more dangerous than that of the vampire span created by your group." Dumbledore finished.

"I'm not through with you just yet." the leader said fiercely before turning around and heading out. The rest of the group followed. No one noticed two members of the strange group slip into the shadows of the hall. Dumbledore let out the breathe he had been holding. He looked on at the sea of students and smiled.

"Now as I was saying, we will be doing something different for the upcoming holidays. This year we will have a ball two days before the start of the holiday. Afterwards, students how wish to remain at the school shall sign up while the rest may prepare for the holidays with friends and family. Now it is getting late and classes are tomorrow." Dumbledore finished. He had secretly cast a spell over all the students to make them forget about the intruders. The only ones not affect were Hyacintha, for she hadn't been paying attention, and Auaraya who had realized what was going on. She had quickly sealed her mind along with Draco and Harry before the spell could take affect them.

Auaraya began to worry for her friend when she had never paid any attention to the group who had just entered. Hyacintha had never even glanced up when they spoke or even noticed when the group had left. Auaraya stiffened up when she felt the presence that only one of her race could let out and turned to glance behind her. She smiled when she noticed the faces of her parents. The smile didn't last long when she realized that her friend had not felt the presence behind them. She glanced to Hyacintha, worry edged on her face. She never noticed her parents frowned at one another before turning their attention on her friend.

"Now that was different, but why does everyone seem as if they don't remember any of what just happened?" Harry asked looking back to his girlfriend and new friend.

"I blocked your mind from the spell Dumbledore cast among the entire school." Auaraya said.

"Oh. So did you know anyone of the group?" Harry asked.

"I know I didn't but then again I don't now many." Draco said pulling Hyacintha close to him.

"You should have. The leader was Hyacintha's father." Auaraya said staring at her friend.

"Wait, what? Why didn't he say anything to her then?" Harry asked.

"Think about it. He wouldn't want to draw attention to her if the ministry is hunting down their kind. It would just make her an pen target, followed by me and then who knows who else." Auaraya said taking her eyes off her friend.

"I see your point." Harry said.

It wasn't too long before the group headed out of the Great Hall and headed back to their dorms. Auaraya snuck Harry into the Slytherin dorms without anyone noticing him. Draco had ended up carrying Hyacintha back to the dorms. He took her to his dorm and laid her upon his bed. He smiled at her when she turned over and fell asleep. Her hair was spread out like a halo as she slept peacefully. Draco watched her like a sleeping angel. He silently laid out beside of Hyacintha. Hyacintha moved closer to him until she was nearly lying on top of him. Draco frowned, worry edged in his eyes.

'What's wrong with you, my love? Why won't you say anything anymore? What has happened?' Draco questioned to himself. He laid awake pondering his questions until he fell asleep.

Auaraya smiled up at Harry. They had entered Auaraya's dorm since they knew it was only going to be them for the night. Harry smiled down at her before kissing her lightly.

"Finally, we are alone." he whispered.

"Yea and we don't have to worry about anyone coming in on us." Auaraya teased.

"Hum." Harry hummed before getting up. We walked over to the door and locked it. Now we don't." he smiled.

Harry collapsed beside of Auaraya, pulling out of her. She whimpered slightly at the sudden emptiness. Harry pulled her beside of him and brought the blankets up to cover both of them. Auaraya curled herself around Harry, resting her head on his chest. She smiled as Harry's arms circled around her protectively. Harry sighed as he tried to drift off to sleep. The problem was that a question kept burning in his head.

"What are we going to tell your parents?" he finally asked her.

Auaraya's eyes snapped open at the sudden question. She had completely forgotten about them. They remained quiet trying to figure it out.

"We'll figure that out in the morning." she finally said, closing her eyes and falling asleep. It didn't take long before Harry too was asleep.

Outside the door stood Damien. He had heard the whole thing that had taken place. He smiled to himself as he headed out of the Slytherin common room and down to the potions lab.

'The young ones are growing up faster than any realize.' he thought to himself. He entered the lab and spotted the one person he was looking for. He headed over to were Snape sat doing research.

'There has to be an answer for Hyacintha's sudden lack of communication and together we will find the answer. ' he thought as he joined Snape in the research. Together, they were bound to figure out the reason to help their charge. Pouring over book after book, they spent the rest of the night.
