Draco stared into Severus's eyes, it had been quite some time since he had seen any type of emotion in his Godfather's eyes, but now, he could see so many emotions, and he could see the truth. Draco wanted to cry, because all these years, and everything he thought had been wrong.

He wanted to cry for all that he had lost, that he never realized it hadn't been there, but Severus was hurting worse than he was. Severus knew him better than anyone ells. He had been there for him, with a healing potion and a place to stay when his father got too angry to be around. When his mother became drunk and screamed at Draco till he felt like the most horrible excuse for a son, Severus would push away her words with small praises that meant the world to him.

When Draco broke, Severus was there to help put the pieces back together. Now Severus was practically breaking, right in front of Draco's eyes, Severus thought that he was going to be cast aside by Draco.

Inside, Draco still felt like crying, but like the Malfoy he had been raised to be, he easily pushed all of his emotions behind a wall of indifference.

He smirked and asked, "Does this mean I can hypnotize the other students and make them do my bidding?"

Severus smiled at that, before a glance from Dumbledore forced him to scowl and say, "No you are not to use your abilities on other students."

Harry, who was standing just a few steps away from Draco, was having some serious issues. He had never liked Snape, hell he hated the greasy git most of the time, but he had never wanted to actually rip the man's throat out. What really scared him was that this instinct only appeared inside his mind when Snape touched Draco's cheek, if Draco hadn't been such a mess, and obviously needed Snape for comfort, than Harry might have actually acted on this instinct. He felt his chest clench when that tear fell. He wanted to hold onto Draco and never let go, and that wonderful scent that Draco was emitting, well it wasn't helping Harry's control.

Harry could feel his fangs, fully extend. Dumbledore stepped forward and asked, "Severus, what can you tell me about the vampire who changed Draco?"

Severus looked up at the concern he heard in Dumbledore's voice, when he did he noticed Harry, his eyes were almost completely red, and his fang were fully extended. Harry was sniffing the air, his entire being seemed to be focused on Draco.

Severus sighed and said, "Not much, he was old. He did say that Draco would likely be a submissive, with the potion he won't full awaken till he comes of age."

Draco tensed and said, "I am not submissive!"

Severus sighed, "It doesn't mean what you think it means."

Draco's voice cracked as he asked, "Than what does it mean?"

Snape sighed and said, "Most vampires struggle with the transition, it is very difficult and often time the transition from food to blood is the hardest part, some vampires can never make that transition with only human blood."

Draco glared at Severus, who was obviously skirting around the issue. Severus sighed and added, "Certain vampires were bred to create a new type of vampire, one whose blood could better sustain others of their kind. They called these vampires Submissive, and their blood is something highly prized. These particular breeds of vampires, for obvious reasons, are very territorial, and they will not allow any vampires near them. It's a survival mechanism."

Draco frowned and asked, "Well than why aren't I attacking Potter?"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I believe Harry is your mate."


Draco stared at Dumbledore with a blank expression for several seconds before saying snidely, "Forgive me if I don't take your word for it."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "No offense taken."

Draco opened his mouth to insult the old coot, when Severus said, "I'm sorry Draco, but I can find no other reason for why you haven't killed Potter. Since you were turned I've read everything I could find on Vampires, your maker even sent me several texts coveted by vampires and their ilk, but everything says the same thing.

As a submissive you will attack any Vampire that gets near you that isn't your maker or your mate. Several of the books say that if a vampire that isn't your mate is within a hundred miles, than your fangs will extend, even if it's your maker."

Draco frowned, "I don't even like Potter."

Dumbledore smiled and asked, "Yes, but do you feel the urge to tear his throat out?"

Draco glanced at Harry, and shuddered, Harry's fang were very sharp looking. He definitely didn't feel any violent urges toward him.

Dumbledore took Draco's answer as confirmation and said, "Well, I'm afraid from here it's all up to you Draco."

Draco frowned and asked, "What's up to me?"

Dumbledore had the twinkle in his eyes as Severus answered, "Now that you've begun to awaken, you can no longer stay in your dorm room with the other boys of your year. I know you would never intentionally hurt your dorm mates, but with your awakening you will begin to crave blood, sometimes it is only on a subconscious level."

Draco nodded, that was understandable. He couldn't risk his friends like that.

Severus continued, "Potter is in a similar position, although slightly different."

Draco frowned and asked, "How so?"

Severus glanced over at Dumbledore who nodded, giving him the okay to explain, Severus answered, "Potter will begin craving blood, however much more than you will. As a regular vampire just coming into his ability he would be a slight liability, but since he had already caught your scent, the risk of him biting any other student is practically non-existent as long as he drinks a few drops of blood a day. Just to be safe we will remove Potter from his dorm, but where we move you and him, is up to you."


Draco stared at Severus, than glanced to Dumbledore, who had that twinkle and a slight smile on his lips. Finally Draco asked, just to be sure he had heard right, "You're saying that I get to decide where in the castle Potter gets to stay?"

Severus nodded and Dumbledore said, "Since you are a submissive, Harry will be craving you, your presence, your blood, and your approval. I personally would recommend you choose a room relatively close together, only because Harry will be quite zealous and excited if he has been away from you for a time, but again the choice is yours."

Both Severus and Dumbledore were looking at him expectantly.

Draco glanced at Potter, and asked, "Is he going to be like that all the time around me, because it's really creepy."

Dumbledore smiled and Severus slumped slightly as Dumbledore answered, "If you were to give Harry a few drops of blood, it would placate his inner vampire."

Draco looked at Severus and asked, "If I give him some blood will his eyes stop glowing like that?"

Severus sighed, "Yes, but once you give him your blood it will only increase his cravings for you, in another sense."

Draco said, "So like most teenage boys, once he's done eating he'll realize he's horny."

Severus winced and Dumbledore let out a small laugh, before saying, "Perhaps I could show you the rooms I would suggest for you and Harry, and you can decide everything else from there."

Severus sighed, "I'll take care of the other students, you might want to do something about him."

Severus gestured towards Harry before walking back inside. Draco glanced at Harry, who smiled slightly when he realized Draco was looking at him. Draco glanced to Dumbledore who gave him a small smile and said, "I'll be waiting on the second floor stairwell, whenever you are ready."
