Warnings and Disclaimers are in the first few chapters you idiots. OH, AND THERE IS SOME DRUG USAGE FROM NOW ON. I JUST THOUGHT OF IT AND THAT'S HOW IT GOES SO IF YA GOT A PROBLEM WIT THAT THEN DON'T READING THE FUCKING STORY. I'VE GOT ENOUGH FLAMERS ABOUT MY GOOD DAMN SPELLING AND GRAMMER!!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Smoke filled the room with dark clouds of high life. Five bags of hemp on the floor surround the vampire using them. She couldn't feel good or clean about herself at the moment. The pain of her past crimes were mixing with her current crimes where too much to bare. Life seemed to be cruel to her in every sense. Losing her family because they defected from their respected clans, losing a friend by mental defects and now her love was drifting away from her faster than she lost anything else. Time was too long and her existence was too short for her.

Taking another hit from her joint Zack looked up at the ceiling as she sat on the floor with the bags of weed around her in a circle. One of them was already empty. Her mind span with thoughts of her fifty year life that was too long for her.

A box lay on a table that was from America. It seemed to come from Miami, Florida baring gifts of freedom.

"This is low even for me." Zack giggled out.

A couple of hits don't affect vampires that much. But a bag and a half will do the high flight of your life to them.

"They will all die and leave me and Beauty all alone to handle two kids." Another giggle as she fell to the floor on her back. Her heart beat fast in her head and chest. A comforting sound since she was a child. "Nothing goes anywhere and going nowhere brings nothing but nothingness. What kind of fucked up logic is that Zack?" she asked her self.

The smoke grew heavier as time passed and Zack was done with her second bag. Three bags left and nothing but despair was left since smoking the two bags. He mind ran fast to the future that was soon to come. Two twins laughing as their fifth birthday passed. Her body dead killed by a hunter, Clans falling under the rule of wizards as they were turned into slaves and crucified. Slavery was a new hobby.

Time passed and Harry stood alone once more and death followed him no matter. Losing everything and his only curse would be to live to live forever never finding happiness.

Zack laughed as the images stopped with the teen over a grave in a large graveyard crying for his lost loved. She laughed till she was crying. "Damn powers. The elder told me not to get high so badly. Powers go high wire. Heh, how cruel could the Fates be to us. Killing us all. Even children are not spared to live a life." Tears rolled down her face as the next hit brought nothing but a past long forgotten. "Nothing brings nothing." She repeated. The visions stopped instantly as they had come to her. Knowing that she would have classes to teach in less then twenty minutes Zack got up stubbing out the blunt. She put on a robe to be practical. She never wore them but today she would enlighten her students. The pain was still there and so where the tears but teachers never get a break. Zack could care less. Be what she was she could care less.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Draco was sitting in his usual seat near the front in DADA when Shiro sat down with Hermione next to her. He raised an eyebrow at the two and then glared at Shiro.

"If you don't mind Yakumori. Potter sits there." He said letting his cold blue eyes tell her to fuck off.

Shiro only smiled at him while Hermione ignored them both. "I know. But he's still in the hospital wing ain't he." She smirked at her friend.

Before he could answer her someone else did.

"Mister Potter will be heading for the Sniper castle today Miss Yakumori. A little bit behind schedule. So I suggest you and Miss Granger head back to your assign seats." Zack said a bit gorgy and slowly. A small chuckle escaped her lips. Her eyes are still red but the whites of them where red as well. Draco watched his lover and a strange smell came off her clothes. He couldn't pin point what it was but it made his eyes tear up. Shiro noticed the same thing as well but didn't know what it was either. They both noticed her movements where slow and measured by her critical eye.

"Now, I feel like shit today students. So I want you all to write a five foot long essay on the different aspects that make each Clan on the list. Compare and contrast each and every one of them. Get to it." She smiled as she saw each face held pure horror. Zack's smile grew to impossible size.

Hermione raised her hand. Zack nodded her head to her to ask her question.

"Uh... Professor, we haven't gone over all the vampires. We've only done Atmortals so far and a little into the Macrons." Her voice clear with confusion and worry about the assignment.

"Not my problem Miss Granger. Now get to work or detention with Snape, Me or Filch. Move it humans!" Zack yelled as each student moved from shock to getting to work.

Draco had started doing the assignment before Hermione had asked her question. He was trying to get into her mind to ask what was wrong but her barriers where up and she had some of the strongest barriers for someone her age. Other vampires say it's her Riddler side while others said it was her parents who taught her before they died. The rumors where strong but Zack's mind was stronger.

"Mister Malfoy, I suggest that you do your work or I will be giving you a detention. And Miss Brown, detention with Filch Friday at seven. Now move away from your friend cause she gets detention with me next Saturday at eight. Now, all of you shut your traps and get to work." She leaned back she felt her high leaving her body ever so slowly. /I need another hit. Damn it all/ she thought as she said, "This assignment is due this Friday. Now get work."

Crying could be heard in the background of Zack's mind but she ignored it. Her life was going to take a turn for the worst and Dar was in the middle of it all. She needed to find his soul and destroy it before they all leave Beauty walking the earth alone. She didn't want him to feel the loneliness she felt when she was a hunter living for life and killing just to feed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry was having a bad episode when Draco, Shiro, Hermione and Ron came in. He was paler than usual and didn't want to be bothered. His emeralds watched the group wondering how they were getting along. Walking in like if they were all friends.

"Ok, now the end of the world is here. Let Voldemort kill me now." He said stretching waiting for a reaction. He noticed Ron still winced at the name. He snorted and nodded to the vampires to say what they needed to.

"Zack's acting weird." Shiro started off.

"And this is different from normal. I always thought she was a masochist or something of the sort." Harry says as a joke. It was his way of saying that 'I'm annoyed and could care less at the moment.' He's done that with Sev and he gets the point. The four in front of him don't get it.

"Harry, have you ever seen her eyes totally red and her movements slow as a snail?" Ron asks and the Sniper had to stare at him for awhile. Ron had actually said something intelligent.

Draco walked over to Harry. The pregnant teen looked up at his so called boyfriend. The blonde leaned down to talk into his ear.

"She had a strange smell that made my eyes water. I've never smelled anything like it before." His voice was low but could only be heard by Shiro and Harry.

Shiro nodded and Harry leaned back on his pillows. He looks out the window and then something dawned on him. "Wait a minute. Why the bloody are you coming to me with this love? Go to Professor Snape. She's his subordinate. Baka!" The vampire said a little peeved now that he was disturbed in his moment of sickness.

Draco looked at Shiro who looked at Hermione who looked at Ron. Draco and Shiro gave Ron a questioning eyebrow at the new member to their group. They hadn't really noticed before but now it more of a mystery on why he was there.

"What?" Ron asks with an innocent face trying to not flinch at the two different expressive eyes.

Shiro growled and walked over to him. She lifted him by the back of his collar and proceeded to the door. "I said I would be nice to you. She never said I had to enjoy your presence. And since we didn't invite you..." she left the rest of the sentence out. Kicking the door open she threw him out like those Tom and Jerry cartoons where Spike throws Tom out.

Patting her hands together she walks over to the trio at the bed. They were all laughing at the way Ron was thrown out. /At least she's laughing at it instead of biting my head off/ she thought.

Harry took a deep breath and lend back. "Look guys, Ivana and Adom are coming today with the King of the Malloy's. I need to rest till they come. 'Cause I think their bringing doctors with them and I don't need the stress. Talk to Sev." He said glaring at them.

Draco nodded and gave a small kiss on the cheek that had no feeling in it. Shiro sighed at the useless act and they left. Hermione watched Harry for a moment before she left him to his thoughts.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Ah, this is good. You've done a good job Fate. Thank you for helping me out." Dar said.

Fate was unconscious on her bed with her arms tied to the post. Her skin a bit paler than before and her red fire hair spread over the pillow. Her body nude had scratch marks and wounds all over, open and bleeding on to the bed.

Dar smirked at his reflection. The vampire Fate had brought him wasn't that powerful but it was changing into his original form. The white hair would soon return, changing the deep dirt color the hair was, white eyes that would replace the deep brown eyes as well. The skin would fade from its tanned color to a white that showed veins under the thin layer of skin. Darres Dragoon Snape would be back to normal in no time flat.

Turning he looked over at Fate and smirked. "I must take my leave." With a wave of his hand Fate's arms came lose and fell to her sides as the comforter rose and covered her nude body. "Now, I need to go and see a very stupid idiot with no wits about him. The idiot who can't even kill a baby not once but five times."

Walking over to the fireplace he took some floo powered and threw it into the fireplace walking in. He was gone in a second.

Dar landed with a grace that no human was capable of doing. He walked out of the fireplace and dusted his person off while looking around the dark mansion with a sneer. "He could've at least dusted."

Knowing that the human wizard that resided in the mansion would not realize he was there, Dar made for the stairs following his nose. The soft footsteps barely disturbed the dust and the light weight made no sound with each step that was taken.

Once at the top of the stairs a hall was presented to the reborn vampire. It was dark and the only source of light was from the closed door where the light leaked out from under the door. The once dead vampire smirked as he walked towards the one lit room.

A pale hand grabbed the handle and turned it ever so slowly. It was locked from the inside so Dar gave it a nice shove to pry it open. It opened with a crack and the sound of metal hitting the flow. The handle was broken now and the light spilled from the room into the hall. Dar looked up to see the shock faces of the Death Eaters and the calm face of the serpent in his chair.

Voldemort glared at the intruder of his dead father's home. The man was a vampire on sight to Voldemort. He knew too many to not know the difference and the way he had broken the door. His eyes roamed the form that was owned to the vampire and noticed that it was slowly morphing into another shape.

"What do you want vampire? And who are you since I can tell you that is not your body." Voldemort said coolly as he leaned back in his high armchair with his snake curled around his feet.

Darres gave an evil smile walking up the man in the chair. The snake rose up from its coiled position and licked the air to taste the scent of the man. It hissed at the scent and returned to its sleeping position.

Voldemort had watched his snake and heard nothing but a hiss from it. The hiss made no sense to him and he was a bit worried with that.

"I could tell you who I am but I chose not to." Dar smirked as he walked up to Lucius. The vampire looked worryingly at the vampire that had come in. He had a weird look about him and the change was becoming more evident in the fire light. The brown hair was filled with white streaks that looked more like highlights with each passing second.

"And why do you chose to not do so?" Lucius asked staring at the other in the eyes they were brown with large white streaks in it as well.

"Because of you." Dar smirked at the younger vampire and put his arms around his neck. Pulling him close he spoke in his ear loud for everyone to hear. "You won't remember very much but I will give you a name. And it is Dragoon." He licked shell of the blonde's ear.

Voldemort smirked at the action and spoke. "And what can we do for you Dragoon. It is most uncommon for a vampire to come to me, other than Lucius. They think it is betrayal to the Clans. But I would have been happy to make an armistice with them. It would benefit us all in this time or war. Do you think not Dragoon?" he leaned forward and placed his elbows on the armrest clasped together.

Darres smirked at the blonde before he leaned onto his chest taking in his scent. "I want Potter."

Voldemort jumped out of his seat faster than a woodpeckers head beating against a tree. "NEVER! HIS HEAD IS MINE!" his angered voice rang out through the whole room. The boom of the raged man made his follows cringe at the sound and back up a bit.

Lucius couldn't move from the vampire hanging on him. The man had a tight around his neck.

"Now, now Tom, you haven't even heard my position here." Darres grinned as he turned his head towards Lucius. He raised a hand to the Malloy's forehead a brought it down smoothing over the face. "I want something from the boy before you kill him. It's inside him and I need it alive before you kill him. So, if I help you to get more help will you leave me Potter till I'm done? You can rape, torture, and play mind games, whatever you want after I get it out. Until then you hold off on killing him." He gazed into those grey eyes that Lucius' family was famous for, they where the same color as a darkening sky in the spring.

Voldemort watched Darres trace Lucius' face with his hand gazing into those grey pools that Voldemort himself found calming to the soul, one reason he took the man to his bed. It was strange to watch the two vampires act so intimate.

"And what kind of help would this be Dragoon?"

Darres smirked as he continued to admire Lucius' face with his hands. "The immortal kind my dear friend. One that has to do with the Clan of Atmortals." His smirked turned into an evil smile that Lucius recoiled from him. "Weak in the workings of minds but strong with their own magic and physical abilities too at the best an immortal could ask for. I'm friends with the Royal Family. I can get you the support you need. All you need to do is promise not to kill Potter and we have a deal."

He threw Lucius into a wall. Lucius crashed into the wall breaking the wood and flying into the next wall. He slid down the wall in a heap blood trickling down from a cut on his head.

Voldemort paid no mind to his second in command on the floor in the next room. "And why should I trust you?"

Darres smiled at the question. "Because, I know a lot more about Potter's situation better than you and I can get close enough to him."

Voldemort watch in fascination as the vampire's body changed into a strong body with white hair and white eyes. The face sharp and soft at the same time almost woman like with sharp narrow eyes. The height had change from the 5'5" looking vampire to 6'3" tall vampire with long lanky strong arms with strong lanky legs.

"Who are you really?"

"No one to be afraid of at least not you." Darres smiled showing fangs of python size.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Zack laid on the floor with her pipe in one hand and a lighter in the other. She had been looking at the ceiling for an hour and knew that the King and Queen would be there soon with the King of the Malloys. Zack snorted at the thought of the young king who still grieved over his lost lover.

She rolled over onto her stomach bring the pipe to her lips and lighting it. She took four puffs, held it in then let it out. The vampire knight was half through with her second bag. The sound of her beating heart beating against her rib cage made her smile. She took it as still being human as she only felt human the first fifteen years of her life.

Zack sat up looking around her room. She was hungry and needed to feed on blood anyway. She got up and walk to the frig with a sober walk. Prying the door open she took out two bags of blood and a day old piece of steak. She had lived like a muggle for so long in her early life that old habits like cooking using a microwave became normal to her too often.

Grabbing a plate from the cabinet top of the microwave Zack dropped the dead meat on the china looking glass and stuffed it into the microwave. Hitting a few buttons and pushing start Zack turned around taking up a bag of blood and heating it with a spell. She ripped the top off teeth and let the wine liquid fall down her throat. Throwing the bag in the can the Knight heard the ding from the machine behind and pulled out her food. Taking bites out of it as she sat on the counter top she thought of her lover.

Draco Malfoy was a man she understood to the letter. He would wait only so long for her to be his completely and yet she was reluctant to see the truth. No matter how much her heart bled for the lover and comfort he brought when ever they slept together she couldn't let it be. She knew her future and wouldn't leave Draco like that.

Ever since an hour ago her visions had changed into the darkness of no comfort and the future given to those she would sacrifice it for. If she didn't act then the vision of her and Harry alone for along time would come to pass and graves of those that love once held them together would be too long to wait for death. The visions passed through her mind as she closed her eyes finishing the meat.

Growling she dropped the plate on the floor and letting it crash to shatter into a million jagged pieces. Zack jumped on top of them not feeling the pain as she walked over to the other counter draining the second bag of blood. Then picking up her pipe she took five long hits and held them for a minute. Letting small clouds leave her mouth for release in exchange of the pain in her heart.

Walking over to her spot in front of the fire she fell onto the rug with a huff.

"Why am I the one that has to be one of the strongest Seers in the universe? I did nothing but live and now I will lose everything. ARGH!" the heart beat in her ears beat harder and faster calming her rage with it's subtle easing sound. The mind that held her together waved as she closed her eyes to forget the visions. The only way to rid her of them for a while was to smoke weed to the point where they couldn't reach her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two carriages pulled up to the castle as the students were going to their last class. They stopped what they where doing and stared at the black carriages being pulled by large unicorns of midnight black. The horns at least two feet long were onyx and shined a deep blue when the rays caught it. The manes where darker than the fur and shined a blue as well when the sun hit.

The drivers jumped off and ran to the carriage doors to release the riders. Latter's fell out in silver to await the occupant's foot. The first from the front carriage was an elegant slipper made of the finest materials as a hand was brought out to be caught. The driver caught it and helps a very beautiful woman out of it. She was followed by a large man with the darkest eyes and hair. He was young and strong with his goatee. Out of the second carriage was a man of youth and beauty. His fire hair was something and much more fire red than a Weasley. And that was something to say since they had the brightest red hair in all of the school and perhaps the Wizarding world. The man's orange eyes brought un-needed attention to the young man.

"Lucian, it so nice to see you looking so well." Ivana said as she walked over and gave a kiss to each check before embracing the younger vampire. Adom shook his hand with a smile.

"I am sorry to have to put you two in such trouble for my cousin. He tends to be very idiotic when it comes to using protection." He laugh good heartedly as it was a lie but a good one that made the other two laughs along with him.

"Yes, well then the other one in the foreplay should have kept their legs close to have such an incident at an inappropriate time. But what can you do when you're young." Adom said as he was half true and half not wanting to look like an ass.

Lucian chuckled at it thinking how Severus must be in a very bad mood at the moment.

The three vampires walked up the stairs and into the entrance hall. The students hadn't moved since they pulled up and were watching the trio make their way to wherever they needed to go. The sea of students parted when the trio move in the direction they where standing in. Once they disappeared in the direction of the Hospital Wing the bell rang and the students scrabbled to get to class.

~*~*~*~*~*

Harry sighed as he thought of the problem that was presented to him at least an hour ago. Zack acting strange wasn't a good sign to him. Not in the least and he had a bad feeling about it. He stretched as he thought of what could have happened to his healer that was so brave enough to risk her sanity to rid him of the cursed scar.

"Now, now. We shouldn't wonder about how magic works or the abilities of other vampires' son." A strong, familiar deep voice brought Harry out of his musings.

"Adom!" a big smile on Harry's appeared when he saw that it was him but with his wife and the King of the Malloys with him. He eyed the Malloy and shrugged at thought when Ivana came over and hugged him.

"How are you feeling sweetie. I know morning sickness suck arse as I had to go through it twice." Ivana said as she sat on the bed patting his head not trying to tame the hair that lay there.

Harry laughed and lend back on his pillows Madam Pomfrey had put there for him. "Yes it does but Sev comes in from time to time to make me feel better about myself." He grinned as Adom smirked at him.

Lucian gave a small chuckled which earned him a raised eyebrow from Harry.

"I am sorry child but I should introduce myself." Lucian said as he spread an arm out moving his cape out of the way. Bowing a little he said, "I am Lucian Commodore Malfoy. I would hope that we could get along since I am in this as well." He raised his head and grinned at the pregnant man.

Harry gave a small smile thinking he could like the guy if worst came to worst.

A throat being cleared behind the royals brought all their attention to the old man standing at the door. "I am glad you are all here. Shall we make haste to see Harry get the proper medical attention that is needed." Dumbledore said as he walked up to the quartet.

Harry sighed as he nodded.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

A knock at the door brought Zack from her dreams of nothingness. She pried open red eyes and look at the door. "It's open!" she yelled as she lay on her back staring at the ceiling.

Adom opened the door to see his knight on the floor high as a monkey on crack and a dildo up his ass. He growled deep in his throat as he marched up to the woman. "I hope you are ready Zack because this is not the kind of conduct a knight would do."

Zack laughed as she sat up. "Well, not all knights are Seers like me." She grinned as he frowned at her.

Adom helped her up to stand perfectly on her feet. "So how bad was it that you had to drown yourself on imported weed from Colombia that got shipped here from Miami?" he asked like if it was an everyday thing.

Zack laughed looking up at her King. "Bad enough that a lot of people will die. Hahahaha!" she laughed a good laugh as Adom helped her out the door. "WAIT!"

Adom stopped and glared at her.

"Baggies and pipe wit lighter, puhwees!"

Adom rolled his eyes at his subordinate's antics. "You sure are happier when your fucked up." He dropped her as he collected the items.

Zack laughed. "No, you should me after I get fucked by Draco!" she laughed again as Adom shook his head once more and left the room.

~*~*~*~*~

Severus was holding Harry waiting outside with his mother. Draco and the others stood with him waiting for Zack and Adom. Zack was supposed to go with Harry. Even Ron was there waiting for the Knight.

A series of laughs got their attention to look up to see a very high Zack being carried by an amused Adom. Once at the bottom of the steps Ivana and Roseael laughed as the woman tried to get into the carriage with no help. She fell each time.

Harry and the others, except Severus where clueless on what was wrong with the woman in front of them.

"How many baggies did she have father?" Severus asked laughed as Zack kept laughing as she crawled into the carriage.

"Two and a half. She could've had more before we came here" Adom said as he directed Harry to the other carriage and who ever wanted to ride with the pot head.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at the King of the Snipers. Adom only waved him off as he got in the carriage with Harry leaving Severus and Shiro behind to come on a later date.

Draco climbed in the front carriage with Roseael, Black and Lupin. Severus sighed as he turned on his heel and left for his chamber to sleep off his stress.

The drivers snapped the rains and they were all off to Sniper castle with much hope for Harry and his children.
