Tears of Vampires
Chapter2: Freeing from the Cruse
Warning and disclaimer are in chap. 1.
A/N: I would like to thank you all for your reviews. It helped me finish it. There's to many people to name but I thank you all. OH AND PEOPLE THIS IS ANOTHER STORY. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VAMPS AND DRAGOONS. It is a totally different one. K. So enjoy it.
BDL: damn it. It took to long to type this shit up.
Draco: that's not our fault is it?
Harry: Yeah. He's right.
BDL grabs an axe
BDL: It is now.
Both Harry and Draco run out the door.
The wind blew soft on the cool summer day. The morning sun was turning into noon. A large park is quiet of children and adults watching them. A lake with a deep blue color is still till the wind blows and small ripples roll on the surface. The sun so high blazes the summer heat yet cools to the touch of skin. The lake is free of ducks and geese.
Harry looks at the older man beside him. The man's dark black eyes watched over the water. His face is smooth and sharp to look hair fair and long in a braid. There seems to be a piercing his ear but it could be a clip. The older man's clothes did nothing to hide his firm muscled body. Each defined to show its strength.
"Who are you?" the youth asked as he looked back out to the water.
Severus looked over at his Beauty. It was not everyday that someone ask that kind of question. /He has a reason to mistrust me. Its not every day you meet someone that understands you. / His thoughts ran as he tried to make an explain nation of himself.
"I haven't been asked that in awhile." The vampire stretched and lay back on the grass. It was a clear sky as he continued. "I'm just someone who was like you a long time ago." He smiles at the youth that sat next to him.
Harry looked down at the dark haired man. The smile that was given was genuine. It was one that reassured you that all was right. It gave Harry a sense of safety in his heart. It never occurred to him that this just someone he just met.
Severus was just watching the sky move as clouds rolled in and out of view. He wanted nothing to break this moment but as life is so cruel it happened.
"Harry lets go. I want to bake that cake now." It was the youth's Aunt Petunia.
"I'll be there in one sec." He yelled back to the woman. He then turned his attention back to the man that lay there next to him. "I'm sorry but I have to go. My name is Harry." His green eyes looked into the deep black ones.
"I'm Sev." The vampire didn't think it would be a good idea to give his full name right now.
"Well I hope I get to see you again Sev." With that Harry got up and walked away with his aunt.
They got to the house and Harry went to lie there on the couch. He was on his stomach as the numbing cream his aunt had put on him started to where off. He groaned as the pain began to return.
Petunia saw this and walked over to him. She looked at all the pain he was in and asked, "Do you want some numbing cream?" her voice was soft and gentle.
The youth just nodded his head as the pain came to him quick as it was given. He heard her leave and go upstairs to retrieve the medicine.
Who was he? Was he some kind of shrink? No he wasn't. His hair was too long to be a respectable person. Was he someone that just knew how I felt? It could be possible. He thought as he continued thinking on the couch. There has to be one strange reason to this. Harry ponders as he waits for his ant to come back with the medicine.
Severus continued to watch the sky as his senses kept the scent of the youth on his nose. A small pop told him that someone from the castle was there. He did not move.
"Do you enjoy the sky that much Sev?" a woman's voice came. It sounded American with a bit of a Spanish accent that sounded like it was disappearing.
"What do you care? You only show interest in things that could only help you." His voice was cold.
"I'll have you know Sev that I too am helping you get into that house to get that boy!" she exclaimed to his hard voice.
"How much did he pay you Zackarya?" the vampire said as he sighed.
"Nothing."
Severus sat up to look at the woman properly. She wore tight blue jeans with a tight black shirt that had one long sleeve and a collar that was connected to the shirt. Her left shoulder was bare of the fabric showed a tan line of a bikini top. Her tanned skin was dark and contradicted her red ruby eyes. Her face was sharp and round. But she was short at about five feet.
"Nothing." Severus stared at her in disbelief.
"Nothing Severus. I did it because you're my friend Sev." Her voice was soft and her ruby eyes were full of friendly love.
The vampire stood up and hugged his friend.
"Ok, ok." The short woman tried to pull the older man off.
"So, how do I get in?" the vampire asked like a kid getting his birthday present.
Zackarya gave a chuckle. "This is what happens when a Hunter finds out she was born a vampire." She joked manly to herself. "Well, all you have to do is say 'Lutos Antos Bankos Nakasumante. And the wards will be down for about an hour. All you have to do is get invited in my friend." She said the last part cloy.
The older vampire growled at her. But thanked her anyways. Then his mind started to work in slow motion to make a plan. But it stopped when Zackarya said something that made him angry.
"Oh, and you have two days to do it. Your dad thinks Dumbledore will take the boy back to Hogwarts soon." Her voice was soft and sweat as to not to anger the older vampire. "Their old Potions Master John Marxian wants to talk to you soon. To tell you were all his classes are."
"Thank you Zack but my father will not be pleased when I bring him home tonight."
"You're bringing him home tonight!" the young vampire's eyes bugged at his statement.
"Yup. And if you ever so mind as to inquire your help for free. We can do it later tonight. I still need to feed." Deep black eyes smiled at the ruby red ones.
"I can't believe this. You owe me one for this. And I need to eat too. So I'll go hunt with you." Zack gave a grin and they popped to London to find food.
Harry sighed as he was still on the couch and his back was numb again. It was becoming really annoying to him. He hated the feeling of pain that was brought on when he was beaten. All he wanted to do was get out of the house.
"Harry the cake will be ready in an hour. Ok. If you want to go for another walk is fine with me." Petunia said from the kitchen.
Harry hoped out off the couch and made for the door. He took the key off the hook and went out the door.
Harry practically ran to the park again. He went to the spot he Sev shared but he wasn't there. Harry walked around the park but couldn't find him. Ah shit. He's not here anymore. I wished my back wasn't hurting so badly when Aunt Petunia put on the numbing cream. He thought as he went back to his spot by the lake and sighed as he watched the ripples on the blue surface of the lake.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon and almost transparent clouds rolled over the clear blue sky. It wasn't too far from noon. The water moved slowly faster as the wind kicked up a little and ducks started to gild down onto the lake.
My life sucks so badly it's not even funny. The youth chuckled at his statement. He went home so he could eat his cake that was made by his aunt.
"Ah. I feel so much better now. How bout you Sev." Zack stretched as she leaned against a wall. They were in the middle of London. It was night by now and lamplights shone brightly.
"Yeah, we should go now that it's night." The older vampire said as he looked up at the night sky.
"Yeah well let's get this over with." They left with a pop.
They appeared in the park by the lake. It was dark and no sign of human life. Not a one. Severus looked at his watch. His Beauty was usually out here by the lake or walking around to kill some time. He stared to worry.
"He's not here Zack." His voice was a little higher than a whisper.
"Well, maybe he's at home. Let's see if we can..." the younger vampire quieted as she heard a foot crush some grass. Severus turned around with her. There was a man standing behind them.
"Looks like you came here in time old friend." A tall man with black hair that looked like it needs to be washed stood before them.
"Sirius Black, I thought you were still on the run." Severus said as he walked over to the man.
"Hn, that's what you think. I was cleared yesterday because they caught Peter. I went to talk to your father before I left to collect my godson. He told me about how you feel for him." His coal eyes were looking into deep black eyes.
"He's your godson?" the vampire asked eyes bugged.
"Yes he is. And I wanted to help you. As you did, when you saved James life and mine all those yeas ago. School was hard for you, you know." Sirius smiled at the vampire. "It will do Harry good to have me around who cares for him. But a lover might be even better." He turned away from the vampires to look at the night sky. "Tell me why you wanted to go trough school again when you had already gone trough it two hundred years earlier?"
"I was bored."
Sirius stumbled for a moment. "You were bored!" his coal eyes bugged.
"Yup."
"Damn vampires get bored to easily."
Zack laughed at the adults. "If you two don't mind we have to save a very distressed kid who might be getting the beating of his life." She put her hands on her hips. Then turned away and started walking toward the house. The two men followed her through the streets to the house on number four.
"Well what are you waiting for Sev? Do it." Zack said as she waved an arm for the older vampire to move forward.
Severus moved forward and stared at the house. He could hear the yelling form with in the house. It was the same words form the other night yelled by the same man. He took a deep breath a said, "Lutos Antos Bankos Nakasumante."
A green flash and a small green dome fell down. "Let's go." Sirius said as he walked in front of them and rang the doorbell.
Breaths were coming out harsh and his head spun as he lay on the kitchen floor. A frying pan was dropped next to his head. He now had a broken wrist and broken rib, definitely a fractured arm and a concussion. His emerald eyes were glazed over as they stared at the floor as he tried to get up.
"You piece of shit! I give you a home, clothes and food. And what do I get. Nothing at all." Vernon yelled at ear piercing level. His large face was purple due to his screaming.
Petunia lay on the floor and was unconscious. Her body was spiraled on the floor behind Vernon. Blood ran down the side of her face. Her breathing was unnaturally steady.
Harry looked at the floor still trying to get up. The pain was unbearable and it felt like his breathing would give up soon. I'm going to die at the hands of this muggle. Ha. Voldemort will be more than surprised at this. He thought bitterly.
The doorbell rang and Vernon looked up. He turned his head turned back over to the frail form at his feet. "Don't move or make a sound." He growled and walked out.
Like if he will ever be able to move again. That was the youth's last coherent thought before he passed out on the floor.
Vernon walked to the door and opened it. There were three people standing outside his house. A girl that looked American about Harry's age and two men in there early thirties. It was strange and so late wasn't it?
The large man's head turned to look at a clock that hung in the living room. It was about eight. Not that late but he wasn't expecting anyone.
"Can I help you sirs?" Vernon addressed the two men.
The man with his hair in a long braid spoke. "We're from social services in London. I know it's late and we probably haven't visited in a while." He smiled. "But might we come in to talk to about... who was the boy again?" he asked the other man.
"I think it was Harry Jameson Potter. No, wait it was Harry James Potter. The kid two days ago was a Jameson." The dark haired man said as he smiled at his companion.
"We would like to see the boy if you ever so don't mind." The braided man said.
"He's asleep right now. Why don't you come back tomorrow?" Vernon's voice shook a lot. He had the boy and his wife on the kitchen floor beaten badly. He was thinking if the boy needed any serious medical attention. He wouldn't as much take him to a hospital but one of those small clinics that didn't ask questions.
The two men looked at each other and turned back to the large man.
"I'm sorry but if we don't at least see him in his bed tonight then we'll have to take him with us." The longhaired man said with a harsh tone. "If you hadn't notice we already had to do this once tonight and we so do hate these late night visits."
Vernon was about to say something when he heard a scream from the kitchen. It was Harry's voice and it sounded like he was in pain. He could hear his wife say, "Harry what's wrong. Let go of your head and let me see. I'll take you to the hospital just calm down." The sound echoed trough the entire house. He looked back at the two social workers.
"My we be invited in now." The braided haired man commanded and Vernon gave a weak yes and stood aside.
The trio ran inside to the kitchen. They saw Harry in his aunt's arms and holding his forehead. He was a bloody mess and looked like he was having trouble breathing even without the screaming. Sirius slides on the floor next to Petunia and took the youth in his arms.
"Harry its ok. Sirius is here. Calm down." His voice cracked and looked up at Severus who had Vernon pinned to the wall. "SEV! Do you have a claming potion on you?" his coal looked scarred.
Severus dropped Vernon and pulled out a small vial from his jacket. He handed it to Sirius. He wanted to hold the boy but he didn't think he would be strong enough to hold him without crying. His heart ached as he watched Sirius pour the liquid down his Beauty's throat.
Harry swallowed the liquid and coughed as the pain subsided. He opened his eyes and looked up. He saw a face he hadn't seen in a long time. "Hi Sirius. I've missed you." His voice was hoarse and cracked with the effort of talking.
Petunia examined the man. "You're in Lily's photo album." She sighed in relief and ran a hand trough her hair.
Sirius just looked at the boy ignoring the woman. "Everything will be alright ok Harry. Sev do something. I can feel at least two broken ribs." His calmness was wearing thin as his godson started to cough up blood.
"Zack."
"Gotcha ya Sev." Zack said and kneeled in front of the youth and the coal eyed man. "Give him to me."
Sirius nodded and handed the youth to the young vampire girl.
Zack took the frail form and cradled it against her chest. She sighed and let her fangs extend out. A pink tongue came out and licked the skin on the neck. Then long white fangs came down on where the lick was administrated.
The godfather had eyes bugged as he saw this happen. He felt a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Severus. He was going to ask but the old vampire stopped him with his words.
"She is one of a very few that has the gift of healing within her fangs. She can turn, kill, feed, and heal anything in anyone." His voice was soft to reassure the godfather. "I wouldn't put him in danger when you know how I feel for him. My old friend."
Sirius nodded and watched the healing.
Zack was feeling a little woozy and her eyesight started to bluer. What's going on? This never happens. What's this in his blood? Ah. Her mind was taken from herself and she saw things like death, sorrow, pain, and grief. And one she hated the most, loss. She struggled to stay focus but the youth's mind was becoming too much for her. The young vampire felt his body was fully healed but it didn't want to let go of her. Then she noticed it wasn't the youth. But someone else that has taken refuge in the mind and body. This was killing the youth inside and out. She didn't know who it was but now she was determined to rid the young youth of it. And so she did.
Harry felt the pain leave. But the pain in his mind wouldn't go away. He knew Voldemort was still in there. But he couldn't get him out. And he didn't know how. But the soft pain in his neck seemed to reach in his mind and was trying to drive it out. Please release me from it. Take away what doesn't belong. He thought.
Severus looked at the pair on the floor. Zack's eyes were glazed over. They looked as if they were looking at something far, far away. He sat next to the other two adults.
"Is something wrong?" Petunia asked as she moved closer to Sirius.
"I don't know. Severus?" Black asked the other man.
"I don't know either Black." He sighed. "She's never done it this long before."
Horror struck Black's face. But he trusted his old friend. He knew that the old vampire wouldn't let the ones he cared for die.
Petunia just watched her nephew in the arms of the youthful vampire. His face was calmer now. But on his forehead something seemed to fade a bit. She looked closer and it was his scar. It was fading away. Her eyes bugged. "Oh my GOD! It's fading!" her voice wasn't a scream or a yell. But it still was loud for the other two look at her.
"What's fading Petunia?" They both asked a little frightened.
"The scar, it's fading." A bony finger was raised and pointed at the youth's forehead as the woman said it.
They both looked and saw it was true. The lightning blot scar was fading in and out of existence. It was as if Zack was the key to all their answers to release the young man from his pain that started this.
Almost there. Just a little more and it'll be gone. Zack thought as her healing fangs continued to put their magical potent inside the youth's neck. It was making her weak. Sev better have a big thank you for this. And I mean a big thank you. She thought as it was coming close to release him. Only a bit more… and there. The vampire dropped the youth and fell back unconscious on the floor.
Harry felt it all leave. The pain of everything that Voldemort had left for him. It was all gone and he could live a simple life. But he felt exhausted from the entire ordeal. So he let his mind sleep and fade into a nightmare free world.
Severus went to Harry's side to see if he was all right. He was and seemed to be in a deep sleep. He sighed in relief. His Beauty was breathing normal and had no more broken bones in his body.
Sirius went over to the girl that was on the floor. She seemed to have normal breathing and her heart was normal.
"Are they all right?" Petunia asked as she crawled over to where Harry and Severus were.
"Yes."
"Sev. Let's take them to the castle and put them to bed. Petunia you can come along if you wish." Black said as he lifted up the unconscious vampire youth. All the woman did was nod her head.
Severus picked up his Beauty and followed Black out of the kitchen. With Petunia following him close behind. Black then picked up a small statue of a clown and turned it into a port key with his wand. They told the woman that resembled a horse to just touch it. They left an unconscious Vernon on the floor.
Draco: Ok. Ok, will you stop chasing us? We're sorry. The story was worth it.
BDL: Bullshit.
Harry hides behind Draco.
Harry: No really. Please just start the next one ok.
BDL drops axe and runs to computer.
BDL: Oh, shit. I forgot to start the next chapter.
Tap. Tap. Tap.
