Warnings and Disclaimer and in the first chapter you big fat idiot. Enjoy the story.
~~~~~~~~
Draco Malfoy walked down the hall of his home. His heightened senses picking up every sound in the manor. He tried to zone them out but found that he hadn't enough training to do so. He growled at this and walked faster. He knew what he was but his body only got stronger when he turned sixteen at the end of last term. His father was so happy due to the fact that now the Malloy Clan will consider having him return into the Clan. Draco snorted at this.
Today he was going to Diagon Alley with his father to pick up school supplies and other things. He had sent a letter to Dumbledore requesting this so as not to have too many Hogwarts students all over him. Their scents would've drove him made as his nose heightened too. Dumbledore had complied and sent him his letter. It was a couple of days before all the letters would be sent out.
The blond walked down the stairs to meet his father in the forye and upon entering he was met with his father and a Death Eater. He really didn't want to become a Death Eater and his father hadn't told him he had to so it didn't matter to him. Draco would've died before he would have to kiss Voldemort's ass.
"Oh Draco, I didn't see you come in." Lucius nodded to the other man and he left with a pop. "Well, shall we go. I'm sure that it will be nice and relaxing to get out of the house breath some fresh air, no.," he said with a smile.
Draco nodded and they left.
~*~*~*~*~*
Harry sat next to the fire on his favorite chair and was reading Crimson Night by Trisha Baker. He put it down feeling bored. The lesson with his aunt was good but tiring and he wanted to go out. He looked over to Severus.
The older man had been up all night and most of the morning working on a new potion. Shiro had stayed the night and kept him company but Severus was asleep now so he was now extremely bored.
The raven-haired youth got up and left the room. He went to look for his friend and ran into his aunt. He looked up to see her smiling at him. He hugged her and she hugged back. A dog bark brought them apart and Harry looked down to see a large black dog. He smiled and hugged the mutt.
"Hey, guys. You have no fucking idea how bored I am. I want to get out of this damn castle. I love it and all but getting out of the castle is a better prospect than trying to finish my book right now." Harry said with a sigh.
Roseael smiled and looked at the dog that had turned into Black. The mischief looks in her eyes told Black that they should answer her nephew's plea. Black tried to think of something to say against it cause he knew that for a fact that Severus, the King, Queen and Fate would kill them both if he did follow this woman and his Godson. But the fact that he was too attracted to Roseael he really couldn't say no to her.
Black's coal eyes looked into his godson's green ones. "Where would you like to go Harry. It is mid afternoon and Rosy is use to the sun in her eyes now and the power of the sun on her skin." He spoke, as he knew this would be fun to do anyway. He was a Marauder for Christ sakes.
Harry thought for a moment and then said, "Diagon Alley."
Roseael squealed and Sirius' eyes bugged for a minute. /This is got to be the most stupidest thing I've ever done/ he thought.
//Not unless we get caught// Roseael's voice was sweet in Sirius' mind. He looked over to her and blinked. She was smiling and it was an innocent smile. It reminded him of Lily.
//You're just as bad as Lily you know that// he responded to her. She only smirked at him.
"Ok, Harry, let's go to Diagon Alley before anyone can stop us. Namely Severus and Fate." She rolled her eyes at the name of her Great Grandmother's.
Harry smiled and they all made to leave with little trouble. Going to a fireplace in one of the many living rooms they left by floo.
~*~*~*~*~*
Severus awoke with a bit of trouble. He felt exhausted from working on that potion. He had gotten a letter from Lupin saying that he was becoming immune to the potion. So of course Severus had to make a stronger potion with fewer side effects and wouldn't hinder the werewolf from changing. He actually managed to lessen the pain of transforming. He smiled to himself cause he was going to be able to test it in two days time.
He sat up and stretched out his arms. Cracking and popping bones all the while having his muscles stretched out and relaxed from stress. He rubbed the back of his neck as he looked around smelling for his Beauty. But he found that Harry left at least two hours ago. He corked an eyebrow at this. No letter, no messenger, no parents to tell him where Harry was.
"Now this is od." he never got to finish his sentence cause Fate came charging in the room with a face that he never seen before.
"Ok, vampire. Where is he?" she growled at him.
He didn't need to ask whom she was talking about. "If I knew I would tell." He said simply as he stood up in front of her.
Fate wasn't at all happy with this answer. She had come in here an hour ago to talk to her grandson when she couldn't find her granddaughter. But when she went on a hunt for them they were no where in the house. She had fumed at this and then realized that the duo might of left together. If they did they would've told someone. And of course the first person she thought they would tell was Severus.
The vampire sighed and walked over to his dresser to grab clothes and then went to the bathroom to shower and change. Once he came back Fate was now sitting in a chair by the fire with Harry's book in her lap.
"You do realize that the boy is no longer in this castle." Her voice had no feeling.
Severus looked at her with dark black eyes. He rolled them and dried his hair with a wave of his hand. "Yes I do. But since I know his scent by heart I'll be able to find him before he gets into trouble." He picked up a brush and brushed his long hair and then proceeded to tie it in a braid. After tying the end he flipped the braid so now it hung down his back. He looked over at the woman in Harry's favorite chair. He growled at her.
Fate paid no attention to him. She was staring at the crystal ball, which was now a black color. "You do know that I didn't find Black either." She said.
This touched a nerve. /That idiot/ he growled deeply and headed for his fireplace. Pulling out a pouch of floo powder he took a hand full and threw it into the fire.
"Where do you intend to go? You don't even know where they are now." Fate said to his back.
"London. It would be the first place he would want to take Harry." He said back voice full of unleashed anger. He stepped into the fire and left.
Fate smiled. She shook her head and look at the book. "So my grandson likes vampire love stories eh." The ball glowed yellow now. "I know Dar. It's useless to read what mortals write but I've read this trilogy before. It's quite good." She grinned and left the room. Leaving the book where it last sat.
~*~*~*~*~*
Draco rolled his eyes as his father told the woman in a harsh voice that he wanted these books and a couple of others too. Draco walked out of the bookstore and out onto the street. He leaned on the window listening to all the sounds all around him. He wanted to control his new found senses and he started with his ears and then will move onto his nose.
Watching the other people walk around as he tuned out most of them. It was then that he heard a familiar voice.
"Aunt Rosy, lets go to the book store. I'm sure we can find you a good spell book there."
Draco looked to his left to see Harry Potter walking down the street with a very beautiful twenty five year old woman and a very large black dog. He cocked his head to the side as they came closer all the while listening to their conversation.
"Ok Harry. And don't pick up Black's nickname for me. It's very disturbing. The man can never get my whole name right. Jesus." The woman said. The dog barked like if it was mocking anger. The woman stuck her tongue out at it.
/What an immature woman/ he thought.
The woman's head shot up to stare at him. He watched her for a while. Harry looked to see what his Aunt was looking at and caught the sight of Draco Malfoy.
They walked past Draco and he growled.
"Nice to see that you actually have a family now Potter. I was beginning to wonder if you lived in an orphanage." He laughed cruelly.
Harry glared at the blonde. "I would think that your father would drag around his favorite toy to show off." He said back.
Draco took a defensive stance and was ready to pull out his wand when his father came out.
"Draco what are you doing?" Lucius glared at his son then to the others that where there. "Ah, Mr. Potter. Nice to see you in good health. There was a rumor going around that you disappeared from your home." He smirked at Harry.
"No, I just went to go to my other Aunts home." Harry said casually. "Aunt Roseael, this Lucius Malfoy. Mr. Malfoy, my Aunt Roseael."
Roseael eyed the man carefully. "It is a pleasure to meet you my dear sir." She bowed her head and Lucius bowed back. It was a vampire custom for the younger vampires to acknowledge the older ones.
Lucius eyed Roseael and asked a simple question. "What Clan are you from? I don't remember seeing you at the Malloy castle." He said sneering.
Roseael looked like if she was going to laugh. Actually she did. "Well, aren't we the nosey one." She chuckled. "Now that I know you're from the Malloy Clan I don't think I should answer your question. Like if I would've told you in the first place. Good day Mr. Malfoy." And with that she turned her back on him to enter the bookstore.
The older vampire growled at the younger one and placed and hand on her shoulder. Her respond to that was quicker than humanly possible. She flipped Lucius and he landed on his back on the floor. As Roseael caught the books in one hand and handed them to Draco.
"I might be young but I'm not stupid Mr. Malfoy. I suggest that you leave us alone for the day. Or you might be sorry." She grinned showing her fangs and walked inside.
Draco looked at Harry and had to ask the question, as his father didn't move. "Is she really your Aunt or a bodyguard, Potter? Cause last time I checked your family has no vampires in it." he said eyeing the green-eyed boy.
Harry chuckled as he kneeled to pet the dog next to him. "Lets just say fate finally delta me hand that I couldn't handle till they came. I want to keep it that way. So do me a favor and leave me alone for once. Have fun at Hogwarts this year. And tell Hermione and Ron I say hi and I'm sorry." With that he left the shocked blond staring at him as he went into the bookstore.
"Now, that wasn't something I expected from the Golden Boy of the Wizarding World." Draco said with a smirk. /SO, he cracked. And now he doesn't give a shit about anything any more, life has probably got to ruff for him/ he thought as he watched his father pick himself up and they start to walk down the street.
~*~*~*~*~*
Severus walked down the London streets and into the Leaky Cauldron. He hated this place for there were too many mortals to begin with. He walked passed everyone and out the back where he opened the entrance to Diagon Alley. He walked down the street trying to find his Beauty's, Roseael's or Black's scent. Instead he ran into a very annoyed Lucius Malfoy.
"Hey watch were your going idiot." Lucius said without knowing whom he bumped into.
"I would think you had more respect for a Prince Malfoy. Especially one that is your son's Godfather." Severus growled at the blond.
Lucius looked up wide eye at the Prince of the Sniper Clan. "Your highness, I am so sorry. I did not see you there." He bowed to the older vampire.
"I will take it someone has pissed you off to even offend even me." Sev said raising a dark eyebrow at the man in front of him.
Lucius sighed. "Yes, a young vampire. But I don't know how young she is. An insolent creature such as she should've been place in the stocks by now." He growled in anger.
Severus rolled his eyes at his old friend. He caught sight of his Godson. "Well, Draco seems to be growing nicely. When was the last time I had seen you child? Your eleventh I would presume." He smiled as he pulled the sixteen-year-old into his arms. He was taller than Harry was. About two feet taller.
Draco sighed into his Godfather's arm. It had been too long since he smelled Severus' scent. But he picked up a scent he smelled before. It was familiar. Then it snapped in his head. 'Potter.'
Severus heard the boy say the name and squeezed hard.
"Lucius, if you don't mind I would like to talk to the boy. I'll send him to you later. I'm sure he can find you with his nose." Severus' voice was commanding.
Lucius bowed to the prince and said, "Yes my Lord." And with that he left.
Once he was gone Severus pulled Draco to the side off the street. "Ok, Draco. Speak is on your mind before I rape It." he growled.
Draco gulped. "You smell like Harry Potter. He goes to school with me. And I had just spoken with him. He said he was with his aunt but the woman looked no more then twenty five." He said nervous all the same. He loved his Godfather but the man was scary sometimes. Especially when he's agitated and that would be now.
"Was he with a large black dog as well?"
Draco nodded.
Severus growled deeply. "Was the vampire's name Roseael?" he asked.
Another nodded.
"Where are they?" the last question came out harsher then he meant it but Draco just answered all the same.
"The last we saw them was Flourish and Bolts." Her said.
Severus nodded. "Tell no one of this. Not even your father. Tell him I wanted to hear what your school life has been like ok." His voice was ordering and left no room for complaints.
Draco nodded and hugged his Godfather none the less. "I'm glad I got to see you again."
"You'll be seeing more of me this year." He smiled at the teenaged vampire. Draco raised an eyebrow at this. "I will be your new Potions Master. Now run along. The Prince said pushing the young blond vampire along.
Draco left with only one thought in his head. 'What does Harry Potter mean to Severus Snape?'
~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione sat on the couch in the Weasley living room. With her nose in a book and not paying attention to anything. She was working diligently on the matter she had set for herself. Finding all she can on the Sniper Clan. She flipped trough the book Ms. Weasley said that was the most updated on the Clans. It discussed about how some vampire Clans are different from each other. It went down the list and there was about over fifty clans in the world. Each with their best attributes the blunt of their survival. Each name had a page number to it as each one was not listed in alphabetical order but in the order each Clans came into full view. The list went down staring with A's:
Aslongs: pg. 95
Asstranges: pg. 400
Atlongers: pg. 506
Atmortals: pg. 496
Hermione raised and eyebrow at this Clan name. Intrigued she turned to page 496 and read on this clan for a bit.
'Atmortals Clan:
This Clan is looked down upon by many of the other Clans in the world due to the fact that most of the Clan members are mortals and tend to not have children with each other. They are in close relations with humans. In America they thrive in the business world and tend to deal with politics to change things to their liking. Atmortals stay away from England to not have conflict with other Clans. It seems that they have a bad reputation in England as the human lovers and many where killed in the early 1800's and then killed once more in the raise of Lord Voldemort.
Atmortals live more like mortal based vampires and sleep in coffins. This is totally ridiculous due to the fact they don't need the coffin. They can bare offspring but the child might have some major defects if the woman has slept with too many mortals. And deformities can happen. Unlike other Clans, such as Snipers and Malloy where deformities come from with in the bloodline, the child will grow up in insulation and then go insane. Thus the conclusion to this is having the child killed.'
Hermione stopped reading there. "If I ever become a vampire it will not be in that Clan." She said more to herself than anyone else. So she didn't know there was someone else there.
"And why would you want to be a vampire in the first place?" a voice asked.
It scared the shit out of her.
"Damn it Ron! You scared the shit out of me!" she yelled at him.
Ron smiled at her. "What an indecent mouth you have there Hermione. I wonder what. Oww." Ron was smacked on the head.
"Will you stop. I'm trying to find out more on the Sniper Clan. And your mother said this was the most updated version on the Vampire Clans there is when we went to Diagon Alley yesterday. Jesus." Hermione said annoyed at her friend as he sat down next to her.
"So you bought the book?" Ron asked rubbing his head.
Hermione nodded showing him what she was reading. He read it and stopped where she had stopped. "You know what. You're right. I wouldn't want to be in this Clan either. So hurry and get to the Sniper Clan. Let's find out what were dealing wit."
Hermione rolled her eyes and went back to the page where the list of Clans was. She found the Sniper Clan on pg. 108. This surprised her. Only the more dangerous Clans where put in the back. Flipping to the back she found the page and they stared at the large crest on the page.
'The Clan of Assassins' read the title of the page. She looked under the arrow with two intertwined snakes. With the bow and quiver behind it. And began to read aloud.
"The Sniper Clan is one of the most respected Clans in the world today. They alone have survived since the Egyptian times. Gaining a royal bloodline a long the way. They evolve to survive in the world. They control most of the other Clans and rule most of the Clans in England. Their power comes from the fact that they love to have children and these children obtain powers from both parents making them stronger than their parents do. But respect for the elders is the most important of all. If not then the young will be lost and fall to much wiser vampires.
"This Clan has very much love for family and lovers. One of the reason it doesn't fall is due to the fact that they work together to keep the Clan alive. But when asked to kill they kill alone and do extraordinary work on this." Hermione took a breath and continued.
"This is due to the fact that their Clan is one of four Clans that can walk in the sun. Those who are rouge from other Clans come to this one to obtain the power to walk in the sun. This usually never happens, as they must fight for their life to obtain this power and blessing. This blessing is only given to those who deem worthy of such power and the Sniper Clan are very picky on who they take into their Clan.
"They do take in mortals but not many. These mortals usually end up being mates to the one that has chosen them. Most of the time it's a wizard and their magic powers are heightened by the vampire powers. The Sniper Clan has the most collection of Wizards in their Clan. Many in the Wizarding World know this is a great honor. Cause the younger the vampire the more power they have.
"The royal family is the strongest of all in the Clan. Currently the Snape family has rain and has had rain over the Sniper Clan for over eight hundred years. They time and time again had throated their enemies to stay on the throne. And they have the most highest of all respect.
"It was a well known fact they had much to due in the threat that was once Lord Voldemort. And after the Great War they were to bestow their vampirism on the Potter Family. But after their death it was lost. They had demanded that the young Potter boy be turned into their custody to grant their parents wishes but where denied. This angered them and a lot of top Wizards disappeared. Even the Minister of Magic at that time, Aaron McFloy, went missing. Then the new elected Minister, Cornelius Fudge, had asked for Potter to be released into their custody but was denied this as well. As it the boy was moved to a relatives home and that no one knew where."
Hermione stopped reading and closed the book. "What the hell is so great about becoming a vampire. Their blood suckers and they kill for the kill." She threw the book against the wall. And it hit with a bang and slid down to the floor. "If they find Harry they will turn him. I know it."
Ron sighed and went to go get the book. He picked it up and walked over to the bushy haired girl.
"Hermione, if you continued reading then you would know that the Clan would've asked Harry to be one of them. Vampires think it is a curse to turn someone against their will." He said softly. Hermione looked up to look into his eyes. "And it is a great honor to be turned into a vampire by a very respected Clan because not only do you gain more powers but you become strong here." he pointed to her head. "Here." he pointed to her heart and then, "And with in your magic too." He said placing the book in her lap. "Its very hard to get into that Clan. Harry's parents where two of the strongest of their time. And to be asked to into the Clan must've been the greatest honor of life. It will be Harry's decision to join the Clan or not."
Hermione eyed her red head friend. "And since when did you become sincere?" she asked looking down at the book.
"After Bill told me that I have an Aunt in that exact Clan. But she died during the Great War. So I understand why it is such a great honor." Ron smiled and left to leave Hermione to her thoughts.
Hermione looked at the book and opened it again reading more on the Clan in question to find out if there was such honor in the Clan.

BDL: Wow!!!!! That took forever to write. And look, it's only been like three or four days since I last updated. COOLERS!!!!!
Draco still sat on the couch playing Star Fox for Game Cube.
Harry was on the floor with a bat next to his head. He moves and rubs his head.
Harry: OWWW.. BDL! Did you really have to hit me that hard.
BDL gives a hard look at Harry.
BDL: Yes. I lost all the work I did on that game cause I hadn't saved it yet. Your lucky you're even alive. Idiot.
Draco rolled his eyes. The whooped.
Draco: Ha, Ha. I pasted where you are BDL! Ha, Ha.
BDL looks at the screen with wide eyes.
BDL: That's it!
BDL picks up the axe and goes after Draco with it. Harry shrugged taking Draco's place and starting his own game.
A/N: PLEASE REVIEW! IT HELPS TO ENCOURGE ME TO KEEP UPDATING OR ANOTHER MOUNTH WILL GO BY WITHOUT UPDATES!

Harry chuckled as he kneeled to pet the dog next to him. "Lets just say fate finally delta me hand that I couldn't handle till they came. I want to keep it that way. So do me a favor and leave me alone for once. Have fun at Hogwarts this year. And tell Hermione and Ron I say hi and I'm sorry." With that he left the shocked blond staring at him as he went into the bookstore.
"Now, that wasn't something I expected from the Golden Boy of the Wizarding World." Draco said with a smirk. /SO, he cracked. And now he doesn't give a shit about anything any more, life has probably got to ruff for him/ he thought as he watched his father pick himself up and they start to walk down the street.

Severus walked down the London streets and into the Leaky Cauldron. He hated this place for there were too many mortals to begin with. He walked passed everyone and out the back where he opened the entrance to Diagon Alley. He walked down the street trying to find his Beauty's, Roseael's or Black's scent. Instead he ran into a very annoyed Lucius Malfoy.
"Hey watch were your going idiot." Lucius said without knowing whom he bumped into.
"I would think you had more respect for a Prince Malfoy. Especially one that is your son's Godfather." Severus growled at the blond.
Lucius looked up wide eye at the Prince of the Sniper Clan. "Your highness, I am so sorry. I did not see you there." He bowed to the older vampire.
"I will take it someone has pissed you off to even offend even me." Sev said raising a dark eyebrow at the man in front of him.
Lucius sighed. "Yes, a young vampire. But I don't know how young she is. An insolent creature such as she should've been place in the stocks by now." He growled in anger.
Severus rolled his eyes at his old friend. He caught sight of his Godson. "Well, Draco seems to be growing nicely. When was the last time I had seen you child? Your eleventh I would presume." He smiled as he pulled the sixteen-year-old into his arms. He was taller than Harry was. About two feet taller.
Draco sighed into his Godfather's arm. It had been too long since he smelled Severus' scent. But he picked up a scent he smelled before. It was familiar. Then it snapped in his head. 'Potter.'
Severus heard the boy say the name and squeezed hard.
"Lucius, if you don't mind I would like to talk to the boy. I'll send him to you later. I'm sure he can find you with his nose." Severus' voice was commanding.
Lucius bowed to the prince and said, "Yes my Lord." And with that he left.
Once he was gone Severus pulled Draco to the side off the street. "Ok, Draco. Speak is on your mind before I rape It." he growled.
Draco gulped. "You smell like Harry Potter. He goes to school with me. And I had just spoken with him. He said he was with his aunt but the woman looked no more then twenty five." He said nervous all the same. He loved his Godfather but the man was scary sometimes. Especially when he's agitated and that would be now.
"Was he with a large black dog as well?"
Draco nodded.
Severus growled deeply. "Was the vampire's name Roseael?" he asked.
Another nodded.
"Where are they?" the last question came out harsher then he meant it but Draco just answered all the same.
"The last we saw them was Flourish and Bolts." Her said.
Severus nodded. "Tell no one of this. Not even your father. Tell him I wanted to hear what your school life has been like ok." His voice was ordering and left no room for complaints.
Draco nodded and hugged his Godfather none the less. "I'm glad I got to see you again."
"You'll be seeing more of me this year." He smiled at the teenaged vampire. Draco raised an eyebrow at this. "I will be your new Potions Master. Now run along. The Prince said pushing the young blond vampire along.
Draco left with only one thought in his head. 'What does Harry Potter mean to Severus Snape?'
~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione sat on the couch in the Weasley living room. With her nose in a book and not paying attention to anything. She was working diligently on the matter she had set for herself. Finding all she can on the Sniper Clan. She flipped trough the book Ms. Weasley said that was the most updated on the Clans. It discussed about how some vampire Clans are different from each other. It went down the list and there was about over fifty clans in the world. Each with their best attributes the blunt of their survival. Each name had a page number to it as each one was not listed in alphabetical order but in the order each Clans came into full view. The list went down staring with A's:
Aslongs: pg. 95
Asstranges: pg. 400
Atlongers: pg. 506
Atmortals: pg. 496
Hermione raised and eyebrow at this Clan name. Intrigued she turned to page 496 and read on this clan for a bit.
'Atmortals Clan:
This Clan is looked down upon by many of the other Clans in the world due to the fact that most of the Clan members are mortals and tend to not have children with each other. They are in close relations with humans. In America they thrive in the business world and tend to deal with politics to change things to their liking. Atmortals stay away from England to not have conflict with other Clans. It seems that they have a bad reputation in England as the human lovers and many where killed in the early 1800's and then killed once more in the raise of Lord Voldemort.
Atmortals live more like mortal based vampires and sleep in coffins. This is totally ridiculous due to the fact they don't need the coffin. They can bare offspring but the child might have some major defects if the woman has slept with too many mortals. And deformities can happen. Unlike other Clans, such as Snipers and Malloy where deformities come from with in the bloodline, the child will grow up in insulation and then go insane. Thus the conclusion to this is having the child killed.'
Hermione stopped reading there. "If I ever become a vampire it will not be in that Clan." She said more to herself than anyone else. So she didn't know there was someone else there.
"And why would you want to be a vampire in the first place?" a voice asked.
It scared the shit out of her.
"Damn it Ron! You scared the shit out of me!" she yelled at him.
Ron smiled at her. "What an indecent mouth you have there Hermione. I wonder what. Oww." Ron was smacked on the head.
"Will you stop. I'm trying to find out more on the Sniper Clan. And your mother said this was the most updated version on the Vampire Clans there is when we went to Diagon Alley yesterday. Jesus." Hermione said annoyed at her friend as he sat down next to her.
"So you bought the book?" Ron asked rubbing his head.
Hermione nodded showing him what she was reading. He read it and stopped where she had stopped. "You know what. You're right. I wouldn't want to be in this Clan either. So hurry and get to the Sniper Clan. Let's find out what were dealing wit."
Hermione rolled her eyes and went back to the page where the list of Clans was. She found the Sniper Clan on pg. 108. This surprised her. Only the more dangerous Clans where put in the back. Flipping to the back she found the page and they stared at the large crest on the page.
'The Clan of Assassins' read the title of the page. She looked under the arrow with two intertwined snakes. With the bow and quiver behind it. And began to read aloud.
"The Sniper Clan is one of the most respected Clans in the world today. They alone have survived since the Egyptian times. Gaining a royal bloodline a long the way. They evolve to survive in the world. They control most of the other Clans and rule most of the Clans in England. Their power comes from the fact that they love to have children and these children obtain powers from both parents making them stronger than their parents do. But respect for the elders is the most important of all. If not then the young will be lost and fall to much wiser vampires.
"This Clan has very much love for family and lovers. One of the reason it doesn't fall is due to the fact that they work together to keep the Clan alive. But when asked to kill they kill alone and do extraordinary work on this." Hermione took a breath and continued.
"This is due to the fact that their Clan is one of four Clans that can walk in the sun. Those who are rouge from other Clans come to this one to obtain the power to walk in the sun. This usually never happens, as they must fight for their life to obtain this power and blessing. This blessing is only given to those who deem worthy of such power and the Sniper Clan are very picky on who they take into their Clan.
"They do take in mortals but not many. These mortals usually end up being mates to the one that has chosen them. Most of the time it's a wizard and their magic powers are heightened by the vampire powers. The Sniper Clan has the most collection of Wizards in their Clan. Many in the Wizarding World know this is a great honor. Cause the younger the vampire the more power they have.
"The royal family is the strongest of all in the Clan. Currently the Snape family has rain and has had rain over the Sniper Clan for over eight hundred years. They time and time again had throated their enemies to stay on the throne. And they have the most highest of all respect.
"It was a well known fact they had much to due in the threat that was once Lord Voldemort. And after the Great War they were to bestow their vampirism on the Potter Family. But after their death it was lost. They had demanded that the young Potter boy be turned into their custody to grant their parents wishes but where denied. This angered them and a lot of top Wizards disappeared. Even the Minister of Magic at that time, Aaron McFloy, went missing. Then the new elected Minister, Cornelius Fudge, had asked for Potter to be released into their custody but was denied this as well. As it the boy was moved to a relatives home and that no one knew where."
Hermione stopped reading and closed the book. "What the hell is so great about becoming a vampire. Their blood suckers and they kill for the kill." She threw the book against the wall. And it hit with a bang and slid down to the floor. "If they find Harry they will turn him. I know it."
Ron sighed and went to go get the book. He picked it up and walked over to the bushy haired girl.
"Hermione, if you continued reading then you would know that the Clan would've asked Harry to be one of them. Vampires think it is a curse to turn someone against their will." He said softly. Hermione looked up to look into his eyes. "And it is a great honor to be turned into a vampire by a very respected Clan because not only do you gain more powers but you become strong here." he pointed to her head. "Here." he pointed to her heart and then, "And with in your magic too." He said placing the book in her lap. "Its very hard to get into that Clan. Harry's parents where two of the strongest of their time. And to be asked to into the Clan must've been the greatest honor of life. It will be Harry's decision to join the Clan or not."
Hermione eyed her red head friend. "And since when did you become sincere?" she asked looking down at the book.
"After Bill told me that I have an Aunt in that exact Clan. But she died during the Great War. So I understand why it is such a great honor." Ron smiled and left to leave Hermione to her thoughts.
Hermione looked at the book and opened it again reading more on the Clan in question to find out if there was such honor in the Clan.

Draco still sat on the couch playing Star Fox for Game Cube.
Harry was on the floor with a bat next to his head. He moves and rubs his head.
