This chapter is going to be a lot of back and forth POV action between Amethyst and Nathaniel. I think personally that it probably adds to the climax, but tell me otherwise if it sucks! Please review! It's not hard!

Draco anxiously walked down the stairs. This man was obviously someone neither him or his Mother knew. He saw the back of a man's head in the waiting area. He was pacing debating whether this is the right thing. The vampire laws on record in his mind. His Mother disappeared in the living room, that was the reason Draco loved his Mother more than his Father, she didn't pry into his life.

"Yes?" Draco spoke.

The man turned around and Draco's hand instinctively went to his wand. It was him, the boy who he saw kissing Amethyst. No one stole anything from Draco, know one threatened Draco.

"Please, I'm not here to hurt you."

Draco scoffed. "You caused me enough pain. Now piss off."

Nathaniel followed him back up the steps determined to make things right.

"Do you want to know what you experienced today? Why it happened?"

He read Draco's thoughts and he knew that he had Draco now.

"What possessed you to do such a thing?" Her Father screamed.

Him and Amethyst were in his study. She sat on the wooden chair at the foot of his desk while he paced behind it, glaring at her. She never answered, whatever she said her father was going to twist her words.

"Talk to me!" He banged his fists on the table.

Amethyst flinched away. "I love him." She whispered.

Her Father scoffed. "Well you can't afford to love him!"

Her Father finally sat down and he looked upon his daughter, sadness in his eyes. Bloody tears streaked down her face. He knew he should be a little more sensitive and he instantly knew from the tears that Amethyst was frightened and upset. A vampire doesn't cry over anything. He leaned forward in his seat his fingers entwined.

"Amethyst... I loved a human when I was your age."

Vampire. The word vampire played in his mind. All this time his girlfriend was a vampire. Draco gulped as he realised. Amethyst was a vampire. Draco let out a fury of laughter and Nathaniel put his head in his hands. Then he concentrated hard on Draco.

You know it to be true

Draco froze immediately, The voice again in his head, he looked across the room and looked at the man that voice belonged to. Nathaniel walked over to the stunned Draco and sat down next to him.

"I can either tell you everything, or I can show you everything, your choice."

Draco nodded unsure with what to say or how to answer the question. Nathaniel was unsure of how to actually show Draco everything, sure he had pushed thoughts and pictures in people's heads but never stories. Just to be sure he put his hand on top of Draco's head. Admittedly Nathaniel felt stupid as he closed his eyes and tried. Draco just felt uncomfortable. What was he doing? Draco felt some sort of drowsiness take over his body and his eyes closed. Then it was like falling into a memory, he wanted to scream but nothing came out. Then red fog came into vision then it parted to reveal a scene in front of him. And he was sitting right in it.

He was in a dining area. There was 2 men, 2 women and Nathaniel. One of the women skipped quickly to the doors and opened them.

"Amethyst!" She shrieked in happiness.

Draco turned and saw Amethyst walk in. Then just as she started to walk towards the other people the red fog blocked the whole thing. Then another scene opened, but it was blurred as if Nathaniel can't remember it. Voices filled his ears. Then the scene cleared and it was crystal clear. He could make out a very young Nathaniel sitting next to a woman, presumably to be his Mother and then a man's voice filled the room.

"You are a vampire my boy, as are me and your Mother."

For Nathaniel this was an emotional scene. Whilst other vampire children knew that they were vampires from the moment of birth Nathaniel didn't. His parents always sealed him away from it until they knew that Nathaniel could handle it emotionally and physically.

"A vampire?" Nathaniel repeated.

"You must understand though, son. There are rules. They are like the vampire laws."

Nathaniel sat and watched the scene, remembering all of it like it was yesterday. It's not every day a 8 year old boy finds out that he is a blood drinking monster and again he is watching the scene. Draco's presence was next to him as he too was looking at Nathaniel's past. Nathaniel had never had to tell a human about vampiric things, he didn't know how to word it and he knew that showing Draco was the only option even if it meant showing him
things that Nathaniel knew could get both of them killed.

Amethyst's head snapped up at that piece of news. She looked in her Fathers eyes and she saw that that were sincere and emotional. He leaned back on his chair and pulled a long rectangular box from his top draw. Amethyst recognised it immediately; she knew it to be a wand box. He opened it and sure enough he pulled out a wand. He admired it for a moment.

"Hmmm. Yes. I went to Hogwarts."

Amethyst couldn't comprehend. Her Father was a wizard? She was too stunned to talk, paralysed at the truthfulness her Father was showing.

"I was so protective over your schooling for this reason. I loved wizardry."

Amethyst watched as her Father flicked his wand and the all the books, pens and files were neatly put back into place, all the dust was brushed into a ball and then was thrown out of the window. She sat wide eyed looking at her Father's every move. Why didn't he tell her? Does Mother know? He put him wand back on the desk and leaned forward on the desk.

"I fell in love."

As the memory was coming to a close Nathaniel felt a nasty rip of his brain and he screamed. His felt his body was real again as he was put under a horrible feeling. He opened his eyes to see that he was in Draco's manor again and Draco was laying on the floor panting. Nathaniel was struck with a realisation of what Draco had just done.

"It's dangerous to rip out of a memory without-"

"I know!" Draco spat back, interrupting him. "But I don't care about your past I want to know about Amethyst."

Nathaniel nodded and took Draco's arm and suddenly Nathaniel was concentrating on Amethyst who was far away, he needed one of her memories. Finally he found one. Making the memory his own he stole it and played it in front of Draco's closed eye lids. Suddenly the ground sank beneath them and Draco's arms failed about everywhere until they were just floating in mid air, looking down on a scene. An 11 year old Amethyst was sitting with her parent's as they read the Hogwarts letter. Amethyst looked excited, her Mother just looked at her husband knowingly before he kicked off.

"This cannot be!" He slammed his fist on the table scaring them both.

Amethyst put on a brave face and looked up at her Father with angelic eyes. That could melt any other Father but Jason Manning was having none of it.

"Please Father!" She smiled.

"Absolutely not! I will not have this filthy magic in my family."

Janelle Manning knew her daughter wanted this. Unknown to her husband and her daughter Janelle had a power. It was the only secret she kept from both of them. She could control the senses. Janelle wanted her daughter to be happy, and she knew the only way she could be was for her to go to this school. Concentrated on her husband's swirling angry thoughts and turned them into opposites.

"You may go to the school on one condition."

Janelle smirked but quickly hid it under her hair.

"You don't talk about it to anyone."

Amethyst nodded enthusiastically and her Father paced the room. "A vampire wizard... we're a disgrace." He spat.

"Jason." Janelle threatened.

"It's true! We'll be the laughing stock on the vampire trio!"

Then the scene faded and Nathaniel reached for another memory in Amethyst's brain, while him and Draco were floating in complete darkness.

"We were both Gryffindor's."

He gazed past Amethyst, into nothing. "You must understand me Amethyst. When you got that letter, I knew that there was no hiding from fate. I knew as soon as you went to that stupid ball with that Malfoy, I knew it would be trouble."

Amethyst just stared at her Father and for the first time, she didn't see him as the scary dominant man she could see through his act. He was a fearful old man who had finally taken off his mask.

"I never wanted you to be like me. In love and betrothed to someone else. I knew the pain of going through the wedding, kissing someone else and watching your lover move on."

Amethyst felt pity for her Father. She reached out and took his hand. After all this time, all the harsh comments, the glares had all been for the hope of protecting her, protecting her from the pain her Father had gone through.

"What was her name Father?"

He looked up into her eyes, he saw sincere and love. Her daughter loved him after all.

"Molly Prewett"

The name ran no bell in Amethyst's mind but even so she nodded and waited for her Father to speak.

"She was so caring, so excepting. In my 6th year my parents pulled me out of Hogwarts and introduced me to my betrothed, Janelle."

Amethyst felt sympathy for her Mother. "You do love Mother though now Father don't you?"

He nodded vigorously. "I do. After I was pulled out of school, I was forbidden to use magic or even talk about it. I then heard Molly married. She married her bestfriend. Arthur Weasley."

Amethyst nearly choked. Weasley. Molly Weasley. Her Father had loved Molly Weasley.

He found another. Pulling it into his own head and playing it in the darkness. The black fog faded to a scene at Hogwarts. Amethyst and Draco. There were alone and Draco's heart was pounding and it was the only thing Amethyst could hear. Flipping Draco over they resumed their heated kissing, tongues battling each other. Nathaniel sensed it, he could tell by her paling complexion. Then pulling away from the kiss her eyes opened to reveal dangerous black pooled irises. Nathaniel felt Draco squirm next to him as he watched Amethyst sink her fangs deep into Draco's neck. The common room was empty and it was a good job. Amethyst's hand flew to Draco's open, screaming mouth. Nathaniel and Draco watched as Amethyst and Draco were making a blood bond. A bond that can never be broken.

The door of the common burst open and Dumbledore rushed through wand at the ready. To this day Amethyst was still fascinated with the fact at how Dumbledore knew what was occurring in the Slytherin common room when students should be in class. A spell shot out hitting Amethyst, she fell back and blood trickled down her chin. For Nathaniel the sight of it was seductive and sexy but to a human it must be terrifying.

Putting a paralysing spell on the angry vampire on the floor he tended to Draco's neck. Muttering things under his breath the blood cleared and the wound healed itself. Draco looked at the headmaster in shock then his eyes flew down to Amethyst who was frozen on the floor.

Before he could say anything Dumbledore held his wand at Draco's face once again. "Obliviate."
