As Harry and I walk into Dumbledore's office, we hear loud chattering. I hear my mother say something that sounds like, You filthy dog." Harry glances up at me, expression one of fear. My hand tightens around his, and we walk through the doors.
We see my mother, my father, Sirius Black, and Professor Remus Lupin sitting around Dumbledore's desk. Of what I know, Black adopted Harry. Harry told me of that retched family he's lived with. Hearing about the Dursleys filled me with sadness and anger that they dared hurt Harry like that, but I'm glad that he got to spend his this passing summer with his godfather and Lupin.
My mind snaps back to the present due to Harry tugging me down into a chair beside him. I look around, and I see that everyone is staring at us with varying expressions. Dumbledore is his normal self, that twinkle still present in his periwinkle blue eyes; My mother's stare is lethal; my father's eyes look cloudy; I find myself afraid to look into Sirius's eyes, I don't want to see his expression, but I glance at him. He is fuming mad, and his eyes are dark in rage. Remus clears his throat softly, and begins to speak.
"So, ehm, Draco, from our former conversation, Sirius and I have learned that you are a vampire... and Harry is your... your mate." Remus desperately fails at coming across as anything other than horrified, in which I can hear in his voice.
Sirius squints his eyes, as if scrutinizing Harry. I realize he's staring at the bite mark on the right side of Harry's neck, "Is that.. is that a bite mark? Harry, you let him bite you?" Sirius's eyes are wide with disbelief.
Harry brings his knees close to his body and rests his forehead on them. "Yes," he mutters, but only I can hear it.
"Sorry, I didn't catch that, I don't have the hearing of a BAT." Sirius cups his ear with his hand, pretending to strain to hear Harry's answer.
"Sirius, be gentle. He only found out yesterday." Remus pulls his friend's hand away from his ear and holds it. I find this action quite odd for two friends.
I grab Harry's hand from his leg and massage it, knowing it would calm him.
Harry sighs deeply and says, "Sirius, you should know best of all how it feels. It was just much a shock to me than it was to you, when Remus told you that you were his mate!"
Sirius's hands fist his hair."Remus is a werewolf, NOT a bloodsucking leech!"
"Vampires are NOT leeches. They are very proper and courteous. DO NOT confuse the good Vampires with the horrid ones, my father yells, standing up, finally saying something.
"Darling, settle down. He didn't know," my mother coos, pulling my father back into his seat.
"Please, if the parents would leave my office for a few moment, I need to speak to the boys alone," Dumbledore finally speaks, a hint of dissapointment in his voice.
I don't dare look back as they leave, afraid to find venomous glares shot at me.
As soon as we hear the doors close, Dumbledore starts speaking, "It has come to my attention by Ms. Granger that you will need a new accommodation, together, correct? I have arranged for you to be able to miss the two or three days of classes, to get used to the room, and living together." Dumbledore says.
I fidget during this conversation a lot, feeling a little bit uncomfortable talking in the head master's office for no other reason then to chitter chat about living spaces. Instead of listening, I zone in and out of the conversation, concentrating on Harry's scent. I nod here and there to questions that apply to me. Soon, I start to nod off, head in my hand.
"Draco? Wake up, love." I'm being shaken. Opening my eyes, I see Harry at my side, calling my name quietly. I look around to find that we're still in Dumbledore's office.
I stand up quickly and straighten myself up. "Must've dozed off," I mutter, reaching for Harry's hand to hold for the walk to our new room.
This is going to be a long year.
