Tears of Vampires
Chapter 3: The Warmth of Embrace and the Shaman
Warning and disclaimer are in the first chapter dumb asses. Also I don't own any of the vampire terms in this. I got it from Trisha Baker's Crimson trilogy. I loved those books. So don't sue me. I'm just a very poor high school student.
Harry and Draco yawn as the sound of tapping on the computer started to slow.
Harry: are you done yet. You gotta post this shit you know.
Draco: yeah. Everyone's been bitching at you to update bitch.
BDL: HEY! Don't over work the writer here. I've been so good damn busy if you hadn't notice asshole.
They looked at each then watched her finish. Then Harry grabbed his bat and Draco picked up the axe. When BDL looked back she gave an eep and posted the story. Then bolted out of the room with Draco and Harry following.

/Thoughts/
/Telepathy/
Three figures popped into a room with a very high ceiling and many windows that was letting the moon light shine trough. It had a large table with at least twenty chairs. The table was round and made of a red maple.
"He's not here." Severus said aggravated at the moment. "What kind of father is he anyway?"
"One that loves you my dear son, whom seems to be very busy at the moment." A woman's voice said from behind the trio.
Severus still had Harry in his arms, as did Sirius with Zackarya. Petunia stood by Sirius' side. All three of them looked at the woman who talked. She looked no more than twenty-two. As her son looked no more than eight-teen. She wore a long black dress with no straps. It had slits on both sides of it and was skintight showing off her perfect figure.
"Mother!" the vampire gasped at the sight of his mom. "I thought you went to America to deal with the Yankoners tribe?"
"Well, my son. It seems that they were no sport really another desk job for me." The older vampire smiled and scanned her guest. She notices Zack unconscious in the Marauder's arms. "What happened to her? Her father will have my head if she is dead my son."
Severus shook his head. "She used too much of her healing powers to heal the Beauty in my arms." His voice was soft, as he looked the sleeping youth in his arms.
His mother shook her head as well and sighed. "As long as she's not dead I don't give a rat's arse. So that's what your father seems to be so pissed about. The savoir." She was in front of her son in the blink of an eye.
Severus was use to his mother doing this to people. She had so much fun scarring the crap out of people. But found no fun in doing it to Severus as he gotten immune to it to quickly at an early age. Let's just say about since he was five.
"He looks too much like his father wouldn't you say Black." She said as she examined the frail youth.
"I really don't give a rat's arse about that. Only if he's ok, well and alive Mrs. Snape." His tone was mono.
Snape's mother growled at Black but didn't commit it. She turned away and stalked over to the door and pulled it open. "Your father said that if you had returned tonight to go see him in the morning. I'm afraid that he his much too busy to speak with you. Because of the rising treat my son. Get some rest before you decide to speak to him. You'll need the energy." With that said she left without a sound.
Severus just let out a breath and walked out of the room with the others following.
They came up to a large oak door. There was a design on it that looked like a vampire hiding behind a tree with a bow and in the distance was someone on the floor with an arrow thorough their heart. It was detailed to the point that the blood looked like real blood on the door. It probably was.
Severus opened the door. "This is Zack's room."
Black walked in and put her on the large queen size bed. Then he walked out to the duo at the door.
"Black, you know where your guest room is right." The vampire's voice was nothing but friendly.
"You know I won't leave him until I know he's in a bed." The coal eyed man said.
"That will not be necessary Black." Snape turned to leave.
Sirius stopped the older man with his hand on the vampire's shoulder. "I know you're trying to get rid of me to take him in your room." He smirked.
"I won't deny my intentions but I must tell you to take heed in here." Deep dark eyes looked into the coal ones back with authority. "This is my home. And I suggest that you take a bath because you probably haven't bathed since your release in your haste to get to your godson."
Black glared at the vampire but all he did was snort and went to shower.
"My dear you may follow me for the time being." The braided haired man said and started walking down the opposite hall that Black took.
Petunia followed close behind and looked around as if she was a kid in a candy store. The walls were cave like but were beautiful due to the tapestries on the on the walls. Each showed vampires either feeding, sitting in there beauty, taking charge of an army, or royal families in the throne room in all there glory. She couldn't see how this made her feel safe at all but it did. Lily's stories of vampires in her journal allowed her to fall in love with their life style and creative culture as she put it.
They continued to walk down the hall. Severus noticed the woman watching each tapestries in all their beauty. He looked down at the bundle in his arms. His Beauty slept peacefully and nothing would wake him if the vampire had anything to say about it. They stopped in front of maple double doors.
"This is one of the many guest rooms close to my room. You my use it." He turned and left her.
"Thank you!" the horse like human shouted after him.
Severus sighed as he shook his head. /Incompetent mortal/ He thought as he continued to his room five doors down. As he entered the dark room he sighed as he saw someone sitting in the armchair by the fire. He knew exactly who it was without actually knowing.
"Hello, father, I thought mother said you were busy?" His voice was monotone and he walked over to the bed to deposit his Beauty.
The older vampire rose and followed his son. He stood right next to the younger vampire as he watched the teen. Severus' father looked the boy over. It seemed to him that Zackarya had used her powers to heal the boy. /She has out done herself this time. Not a single scar from the past two day beatings. Albus is going to owe me for this big time. / He grinned as he thought of this. To him the youth looked peaceful yet disturbed at the same time. He also wondered if the teen would be stable enough to train him in the arts of vampires before his son turned him.
"So father, did you skip whatever you were doing to share something with me. Or did you come to look at my prize?" the young vampire eyes his father carefully.
"Both. And I wasn't that busy to begin with." He smiled. "I wanted to tell you that lamebrain of an excuse of a Potions Master is coming tomorrow. So be prepared." He sighed this time as he gave the teen one more of a better look. "He is a prize to keep Severus. Keep him close and make sure he doesn't get manipulated by anyone. Not even Dumbledore." His eyes were of a deeper black than his son's was. They held caution and encouragement.
His son gave a nod and the older vampire turned and left the room with the door closing softly behind him.
The young vampire shook his head. He knew better not to mistrust his father's words. They were always true to the core. He looked over at the clock. It was past midnight as he removed his Beauty's shoes. He kicked off his own boots and pulled the youth close to him as he fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Harry felt his body wake up before his mind. Something warm was holding him. He snuggled into the warmth that felt so good to be true. His mind soon awoke as he kept his eyes close. It was a body. A male body. It was firm as its strong arms wrapped around him. It was strange as he felt comfort in them. He breathed in the man's scent that was holding him. It was strong and smelled of wild flowers after it rained for about an hour. It comforted him a lot. He didn't open his eyes for he might lose the warmth that surrounded him.
Severus lay there holding the body close to him. It was magic that he ended with such happiness. It didn't matter if the boy wouldn't want him in a lover's way. But it made no difference to him. He had watched his Beauty for about an hour since he awoke. It was peaceful to him. The rose scent that covered the teen was intoxicating to his nose. He wanted the boy more than anything but he couldn't do that. The boy needed healing of the mind first. He would have to wait to move on his feelings. But his father my have other plans in stored for the teen.
A soft knock on the door told the couple on the bed that someone entering the room. Severus lifted his off the Beauty's head to see his mother smiling.
"He is a nice catch my son. Why did you want to save such an innocent youth?" his mother inquired.
The younger vampire looked at the Beauty in his arms. And tighten the hold on the smaller firm. Pushing back a few bangs that fell across the youth's face he answered his mother's question. "I felt it in him. He needs someone close and so do I. You know I've never had anything or anyone to care for mother. And he has such an innocence that I couldn't resist. I don't care what father's so peeved about mother. But I'm going to take care of this beauty as long as I live. No matter what no one is going to hurt him and no one is going to take him from me. Or they'll have a very horrifying death."
"What? Are you going to do? Castrate them or torture them horribly by giving them no release from their overloading pleasures?" his mother had a big fang grin as she imagined the tortures in her head.
Severus laughed at the look in his mother's eyes.
"Mother you are ever more perverse than I had last perceived." He grinned as he started to slow his laughter.
By now his mother was by his bed and smacks his arm gently. She had a big grin on her face as she spoke in a hurt mocking voice. "I can't believe you would ever say such a thing about your mother in that sense." Her voice was that of a playful child. "In any sense, I have no idea what you're talking about."
He laughed and felt his Beauty laugh too. He looked down at the youth. The vampire smiled at him and spoke softly.
"I knew you were awake a long time ago. You don't have to be afraid."
Harry didn't want to move but by the other man's words he had to move. He looked and gasped as he recognized the face with deep black eyes. He started to pull away from the person he barely knew. But Sev's strong hold on him kept him in place.
"I told you not to be afraid. We saved you from your uncle last night." Severus kept his voice soft and even.
"We have brought yours and your aunt's stuff. And we have taken both your cousin and uncle our custody. A trial in our rules will be in two weeks time. So you can rest now." Severus' mother said to Harry.
Harry had an unsettling feeling at the mention of his uncle. All that had happened last night came back to him. The pain he was in wasn't there but he felt it in his mind. He started to shake and was pulled into the embrace he tried to leave. He let the older man hold him close to his chest. Tears started to fall, as the pain in his mind wouldn't leave.
Severus sighed as the shaking got worse. He looked at his mother.
"Is there any calming potion in my cabinet over there mother?"
The older vampire turned and walked over to a large cabinet that was taller than her. Once she opened the two large doors that kept it closed showed many clear phials. Each phial had a label on it and a substance of colors known and not known to man. It was like a rainbow. The old vampire looked for the one her son wanted. But found it was the only section empty. She sighed and shook her head at her son.
/Fuck! Like I need this. I wanted to do this subtly. / Severus thought as he held his beauty closer.
/Why not do it the mortal way my son. This way he could start trusting you more. / His mother's voice rang trough his head. He looked at his mother and saw the smile on her face.
Harry couldn't stop all the images in his head. Each image was one of the events with his uncle and Voldemort. The beatings, the images of watching others die the pain of curcio. The put downs seemed to hinder his mind more as he had started to believe he wasn't any good to anyone. It was breaking his soul and he couldn't do anything to stop it.
The vampire holding Beauty was starting to worry and started to rub the youth's back. Whispering comforting words it was hard to do this the mortal way but his mother was right in every way. He tightens his hold on the teen. "It's ok. You can cry. It's over now. Let it all out."
Harry broke down when he heard such comforting words that had such a comforting embrace. He cried till it hurt so badly that he couldn't breath. He slowed so his breaths could try and come out slowly. He gripped Sev's shirt out of reflex. He clung to the shirt until he was able to breathe again.
Severus rubbed Harry's back to sooth him. It worked as the crying and shaking stopped. And he was breathing properly again. He looked down at his youth.
"Now, doesn't that make you feel better?" Severus smiled as Harry lifted his head to him. The teen's eyes were red and puffy. His face was wet from the tears and his eyes held something Severus couldn't read.
Harry looked into the black eyes and saw something he thought no one would show him. It was love. Maybe this man had a special place just for Harry in his heart.
Severus' mother smiled and closed the door gently and walked down the hall to her room to where her husband awaited her. She smiled as she entered the room.
"Well? Can there be any chance to keep him close." His voice was a bit stressed out.
The female vampire just looked at him with a big smile and sat on the bad. Then her face became grave.
"He needs a lot of work my love. I'm not sure if our son will be able to handle such a task." She sighed. "He has had a tormented life at home and Hogwarts. It is strange that idiot Dumbledore did not see this. But the boy's memories are filed with death, punishment, torture, and even rape. But I'm not sure if he was afflicted by rape." She looked at her husband. "It's too dangerous to even keep him hear. I don't care about that old hound. But my son's heart will be crush if the boy refuses him."
The King flinched at his wife's hard look and terrifying voice. He knew exactly what she would do to him if things didn't go the way they need it to.
"The boy will not hurt your son milady." An old woman's voice came from behind the duo.
"And what do you mean by this Fate." The Queen's voice was hard and not trusting at this moment.
Both the King and Queen kept their backs to the old woman.
"I am a shaman am I not? And I have lived a lot longer than you or that old goat at Hogwarts." The old woman spoke softly.
"I have foreseen that Harry Ethan Potter will fall in love with your son. But both their lives are in danger if they stay at Hogwarts this year. I suggest that you keep the boy here and send your son to Hogwarts." The woman gave a soft laugh. "I can shield the boy if anyone is looking for him. It's perfect. And the young lord may come on weekends to see the youth or on his planning classes to visit the teen. He will need personal tutors for him to stay.
"It would be your best and only choice for them both. I will help in his tutoring if it pleases you your highnesses." The woman said.
The king had moved to sit next to his wife.
/What do you think my love. It's is better to have both than lose both. / His voice was soft in his wife's head.
/Yes it would be better. And it won't be that much trouble to keep the boy here with us. But once he is well enough, Severus will turn him. / Her voice inquired to her husband.
/I know my love. And that's what I'm hoping for. / He grinned at her stun expression on her face. "We will follow your advice old woman. Now leave as we plan this out."
The woman gave a small sigh and left the room in a wind of dust.
Harry still held onto Sev with all his strength. It was a very intimate feeling that he didn't want to leave the feeling. It made him feel safe and comfortable. He wanted to stay like that forever.
Severus knew that the mortal in his arms was very happy but the events of last night had left him feeling a bit hungry and he needed to make sure that Zack fed too. He reluctantly loosened his hold on his Beauty. He looked into the deep emerald eyes.
"I need to go and feed. I'll send a house elf for you to get food. I also must see if my friend is ok. She used a lot of energy to heal you." He smiled at the distress look on the teen's face.
"Do you have to go? I don't want to be left alone." Harry's voice was low but Sev heard it with his superior hearing.
"I'm sorry Beauty but I must. And I assure you that it will be no more than an hour and half. I'll be lucky if it is an hour." The vampire's eyes were soft and held love for the teen. He slowly let Harry go and moved off the bed and looked down at the youth.
"Don't worry; I'll be back my Beauty. I just need to do this and I'll spend the rest of my day with you." He turned and was about to leave when he heard Harry's voice.
"Thank you for saving me last night. I was alone and my aunt couldn't do anything." The voice was hollow and soft.
Sev turned to the youth and gave a nod and then left. He closed the door behind him.
/Mental note, make sure to keep close to Beauty till sure he can stand it. / He sighed as he headed for his friend's room. /This is going to be a lot harder than I thought. But at least I'll be able to win his heart no matter. I know my charm can work. /
/And what charm would that be. / The voice rang in his head as he neared the door. He gave an aggravated sigh and opened the door that he stood in front of. He walked in and saw on the bed a very pale teenaged vampire that looked hungry as far as he could tell.
"Can't you be subtle my friend." He said as a statement.
The young vampire smiled and laughed at her friend as she sat up. "Nope, it's in my nature to aggravate you and others by my choosing." She grinned at him.
"You're impossible you know that." He growled as he helped her out of the bed. She stumbled a bit but leaned on Severus' side for support. And with a pop they were gone. They landed in a street with hookers and pimps. Sev smiled at this as the girl's eyes grew a bit in hunger.
"Let me go. I'm hungry." She growled and wiggled out of his grasped. She wobbled a bit but steadies her balance and walked off to a man that looked her over.
Severus shook his head as the pimp smiled at the teen and headed for his victim. He walked too a girl in a very high mini skirt with a studded bra. He smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Hey, need some company?" she asked not caring at all at his unnatural pale skin.
"Yes, I do. Do you mind a companying me?" his voice was sweet and soft.
The woman smiled and walked down the street with Severus following. She walked to an apartment building and went down the hall on the first floor pulling out a key that looked a bit worn form being inserted more than once a night. It opened to a simple room that had a queen bed, a wardrobe and a kitchen. It was plan as the walls were a faded gray.
The woman walked over to the bed and sat down taking off her shoes. Severus followed and not caring what he was doing. He was as hungry as fuck and this woman wasn't going to keep him from it. He used his hands to gently roam over her body. She shuddered from the not so close contact.
Severus loved the power he had on people and loved to use it. He slowly kissed her neck as it pulsed with life. He pulled up her skirt so she wouldn't say anything about what he was doing. He played with her as he let his Blood teeth come out of his mouth and slowly sank them into the jugular vein that lay beneath the skin. The woman scream out loud as Severus fed off her fear and blood. It always tasted better when the prey was scared. The crimson liquid filled his mouth. He swallowed gulps of the copper tasting life.
The woman trashed under the vampire's superior strength and was losing her vision. Her movements were slowing and she was coming in and out of conscious. Soon it was all black but her breathing was slowing as more blood left her body.
Severus drank letting his Bloodletting get hold of him. It was such a long time since he last fed this good. His mother always did enjoy Bloodletting. But this pure rapture was just as good as sex. As the blood started to slow he sucked hard to get more of the life giving fluid. He dropped the body once he was done. He pulled out a knife and slit her throat across the neck over the puncture wounds. He smiled at his work.
/I feel better. Now I must return to my Beauty. / The vampire thought and left to find his friend.
Harry sighed as he finished eating. /I hate being alone. / He thought as he remembered Sev's words.
'I must go feed'
But there was food here already. Maybe he wanted Harry to eat as he went to go talk to someone.
"The young lord only left to feed child. Don't worry on such unimportant things." An old woman's voice startled Harry.
Harry looked up to see a woman wearing a cloak with a hood over her head. Her hands were as pale as snow and her veins showed trough her transparent skin as she held a small crystal ball.
"I mean you no harm. I just wanted to see if you were alright." Her voice was soft and had firmness in it. "I was wondering if we could talk." She lifted her head to show Harry her face. He gasped when he saw her face.
Draco: Come back and start the next one.
Harry: yeah! We need to know what happens next!
BDL dodges the axe and ran to her room and locked the door.
BDL: then wait your sorry asses. Bwahahahahaha!
