Thoughts

Veela's and Vampire's

What was I Eleanor Silver-flame thinking when I agreed to this? I'm not sure anymore, one thing is certain the cooperation of the Vampire's and Mr. Potter are crucial to the continuation of our race being free. I rather like being able to be a bit more free, how I am here in France; if only the rest of the magical world viewed us as the French do, the Veela would have nothing to worry about. But alas that was not the lot we were given in life, we must make do with what we have. While I was deep in thought I failed to noticed the vampire whom sneaked up behind me and wait for me to notice him.

"Miss Silver-flame I presume?", Said the currently unknown Vampire.

"Yes I am, and to whom do I have the pleasure of addressing from the Vampire nation?", I inquired politely.

"My name is Issac, can we please get to the matter at hand Miss Silver-flame?", Issac said urgently.

"what clan are you from Issac? I'd like to know" I want to know as much as I can about this vampire after all our fate is in his hands at the moment.

"I am from Nightbane milady, and I mean you no harm ma'am.", said Issac, I couldn't place it but his accent sounded strangely off to me, it sounded as if tho it did not belong here in Europe.

"Issac, what is the matter at hand then? May I presume it has something to do with young Mister Potter?", I said as I eyed him with suspicion.

"Yes, it seems everything as of late concerns young Mister Potter. At the very least most of what has been happening lately does concern him. As you very well know Miss Silver-flame, we currently have him in our custody. I have been authorized by Marius Nightbane to invite members of the Veela Nation to come to our meeting with Mister Potter. What I was told to do though, was to get how many will be coming, and why. If the answers are not to his satisfaction your members shall not be allowed to attend the meeting.", Issac said warily.

"We the Veela Nation would also like a hand at a chance to train young Mister Potter, so that this world may be better for all races, not just our own. To insure the order of Magic is upheld. To teach him more then just wand magic, to give him a fighting chance against Voldemort. We want not a light lord, nor a dark lord, we want one of the gray path. We want to have someone who shall not be tempted to join the Darkness, and who can be forged against the light. That person is Mister Potter, he is an integral piece to this puzzle we call the wizarding world. The critical piece of that puzzle.", I said watching his lack of a reaction.

"Is that all Miss Silver-flame? Or is there more your holding back from me? Is there more to your nation wanting their claws in him or is this as your presenting it?", he said seemingly looking threw me, penetrating me with each word he said.

"There is always more then the face of something you Vampires know that well Nightbane.", I said hoping that using some truth of the nature of these meetings would set him more at ease.

"Indeed, like this offering the chance to let the Veela help, it's more then it seems, but we need to know your angle or this will not work Silver-flame.", he said throwing my barb back at me with just as much force.

"Ah, a Vampire admitting to ulterior motives? Or is this a display of Vampire tricks? Either way yes, there is more, we wanted to make him more, open minded to Magical Creatures. Also to give him a Veela perspective on life and history. We were sure you'd give him the Vampire perspective.", I replied evenly hoping the ball was back in his court.

"Ulterior motives you say? Well I guess some would say that. They are not ulterior, just the truth behind the offer. There is more to everything then just what is seen Miss Silver-flame. We hope to teach young Mister Potter this. We also plan to show him how to find out what exactly there is to gain, to lose and if it's worth it in any given situation. For example, in this situation the Veela stand to gain the most. You'll gain access to young Mister Potter, your people will gain either an alliance or a treaty with the Vampire's, and best of all you'll gain a chance to be free of the chains placed on you by wizards. What say you Silver-flame? What do we the Vampire's have to gain from this?", his words seemed to go threw me one at a time each striking a cord of fear that he knew more then it seemed, that he'd pull back the Vampire's offer if we didn't have anything of value to offer.

"What don't the Vampire's have to gain? Look at this from a worldly point of view. If the Vampire's can coexist with Veela's a nation that they have been at war/peace with for a long time then it will also show you are not to be feared, but instead respected. Your kind will gain credibility amongst other nations and you might no longer have to hide. This, for lack of a better union does as much to help your nation as it does ours Nightbane. We gain an ally as do you. We gain a Chance as does your kind. The benefit is mutual. It may not look it right away but it certainly is.", I spoke knowing I was treading on ice that might break at any moment.

I watched him watching his face slowly shift emotions not truly giving anything away. His face was like a sheet of paper, mostly blank except for a few lines. His eyes seemed to endlessly drawl you in, drawl you deeper. While he's making his decision I decided to take a closer look at my Vampire counterpart. He has these striking violet eyes that you could easily lose yourself in the depths of. His dark brown locks extend just past his face and rest on his broad shoulders. Aristocracy graces his facial features giving him a regal look. All in all he had been a handsome man in life, and retained his beauty in death.

"I've decided to let you and your Nation attend the meeting, it Shall be held tomorrow. Be there or don't bother showing another Vampire your face. How many of your delegation shall be attending?", he came to his decision quite quickly it seemed.

"I am unsure, but I can presume myself, the Queen, her escorts and two others Nightbane. Beyond that I am unsure and it's is unlikely any others shall come.", I answered confidently.

"Then our meeting has come to an end for now Silver-flame. I bid you a good night.", With that being said he vanished faster then I knew what was happening.

When he left I felt relief flood threw my entire being from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. Being toe to toe with a Vampire like that had stressed and worried me greatly. Now it shows we can work together without killing one another. Today was a blessing and a cruse, it was also a chance at a new beginning for the Veela nation. Tomorrow will decide a lot of our future and how it shall play out. I hope for my sisters and I that tomorrow goes well. I'm feeling the exhaustion of the days events begin to settle in and take me to weariness. Feeling the weariness setting into my bones I made off to bead, tomorrow would prove to be a long and interesting day, not just for the Veela, but also for the Vampire's.
