Author's Note- I can't believe you guys. 56 reviews. Lets make it to 60. I have a guest though. on the day I posted the last chapter I got three anonymous quest reviews. they didn't show up in my total reviews until today. Why? Anyway, thanks for all the support. Apparetly I am in a four way duel with checkerschance, narcisssamalfoyjwilliams11, and quest TheGoldenTrio. Well, if that is so, and we can pick three characters to fight with us, I call the death to rise and summon Dumbledor, Snape, and Sirius to my side to fight. BTW the way to those people I mentioned-"Avada Kadavra!" I win.

Chapter 16- Containing the Beast

Draco's POV.

*Flashback*

"I'll have to tell you la- That's her!"

*End flashback*

When I glanced at Blaise his eyes flash red for just a split second before returning to their normal coco brown colour. Then it hit me.Blaise is a vampire. Luna is his mate, and if I don't get him out of here he is probably going to lose any chance he had at capturing the love of the Ravenclaw girl.

"Time to go Blaise." I hiss.

"No!" Blaise protested.

He rose from his seat next to Hermione and started straight towards Luna. I grabbed at his arm, which he shrugged off. I gripped his arm firmer this time, standing up. He yanked his arm out of my grasp, and continued on with more pronounced determination in his step. Unable to see any other way to stop him, I tackled him to the ground. He struggled under me, fighting to get up, but I finally got him pinned down, a shocker considering he was a newborn vampire and should be a lot stronger.

"Hermione, go get Snape, then take Luna and wait outside of Professor Snape's office." I commanded even though I was starting to doubt just how long I could contain the beast.

Hermione nodded and then ran out of the Great Hall to find Snape, disappearing from sight.

I took in my surroundings quickly. A few students that were next to us were watching with confused expression, while other whispered, betting on if this would turn into a fight. Luna was approaching us. Blaise, upon seeing Luna drawing closer, looked at me, nodding in understanding. After I saw the look of panic that was mixed with desperation I let up on him. I stood up, pulling him with me. I flashed Luna a small smile as I ushered Blaise out of the Hall. I glanced back on last time to see Luna shrug. Then sit down, beginning to eat a bowl of pudding.Of course.

Outside the Great Hall I could hear the frantic steps of two runners, which I guessed had to be Professor Snape and Hermione. I pulled Blaise by the sleeve of his robe towards the pounding sound of feet against stone.

"Did you find her?" Professor Snape asked, once Blaise was in sight of him.

"Yeah," gasped Blaise.

"Who is she?"

Since Blaise looked unable to answer I did it for him. "Luna Lovegood."

"I see, well, we'll have some explaining to do, Miss. Granger would you be kind enough to fetch Luna from the Great Hall, and bring her to my office?"

"Of course, sir" Hermione nodded.

With that Hermione spun around in the other direction, shaking her head as she did so.

"Draco, Blaise follow me to my office, if you will."

We trailed behind him closely. His cloak billowing as we rushed down the staircases that lead to the dungeons. Snape unlocked the door when we arrived there, leading us in. He sat down behind his large, tattered desk, motioning us to take the seats before him. Before Snape could utter a single word, though, there came a knock from the door.

"Come in." Snape called coolly.

The door scraped across the floor as Hermione opened it, slid into the room with Luna, and closed it with a creaking sound. Hermione came to seat on the arm of the chair I sat in. My hands automatically found hers, rubbing soothing circle. Luna stood silently behind us, rocking back and forth on her heels, staring into space.

"Blaise, where do you want to start?" Professor Snape asked.

"Just go ahead and tell them everything." the Italian boy answered.

"If you wish. I assume that Draco has figured out already, and if not you two as well, that Blaise is a newborn vampire."

Hermione let out a small gasp. Luna seemed unfazed. Her eyes stayed trained on the ceiling.

Snapping out of her daze Luna responded, "That's great, Blaise. I had always found vampires to be quite interesting creatures. My great grandfather was a half vampire. Is that why you looked so handsome today? You just turned, and need to attract a mate don't you?" She said in a dream-like voice.

My jaw dropped and so did everyone else's. Did she seriously just say that she thought he looked good after that news? No why am I involved in this? Why should I give a damn? No this girl was so weird, but it made me sort of like her, that she was so different. She was going to be good for my best mate. She wouldn't be able to make him bored if she tried. Seeing how this was the way that she responded to him being a vampire I was excited to see what she would do when we told her that she was his mate.

"Yes...um...Miss Lovegood, that is what you are here for. You are Blaise's mate." Snape coughed.

"That's lovely isn't, Blaise? I always wanted a vampire mate. They're intriguing really." Luna said softly, standing in front of Blaise.

Blaise stood up and reached for her hand, pulling it to his cheek. "So you fancy me? You don't hate me, or resent me for the fact that you're my mate?"

"Nope... It's sweet actually. Do you fancy me too, Blaise?" she asked, staring it to his eyes.

"You're my mate. Of course I do, sweet." he answered truthfully.

I heard Hermione sigh beside me. I turned to her to read her expression, and to give Blaise and Luna a little bit of privacy. Her eyes watched him lovingly. A soft smile playing on her lips. Her expression started to change, turning into something more . . . evil dare I say it. She had a smirk on her lips now and a glint mischief in her eyes. I gave her a look showing my confusion. She just smirked and walked around me.

"Hey, Luna, you know how we are cousins?" she said, tapping the mystical girl on the shoulder.

"Yes, Hermione. What about it? It was lovely news to receive." she smiled.

"Well, seeing as you are Blaise's mate I'm assuming that you two will get married sometime in the future."

"Probably."

What was Hermione doing bring up the topic of marriage already. They just found out they liked each other ten minute ago. Had my girlfriend lost her mind?

"Then welcome to the family, Blaise." Hermione said, extending a hand to shake Blaise's.

A moment of confusion flashed across Blaise's face before he stuck out his hand and shook hers firmly. Then he stirred both girls over to where I was sitting.

"Looks like I'm gonna be related to your best friend more than you." Hermione said.

All three of them laughed, Blaise laughing the hardest. He knew the full story behind this. We had always talked as kids about how cool it would be to be related. Now my girlfriend had a better chance at being a part of the same family as my best mate than I did. It wasn't fair. She could be so evil. I honestly couldn't see how she was sorted into Gryffindor when she did such Slytherin-like actions.

"You guys are mean. Especially you, Hermione. How could you do this to me?" I whined.

"This can be payback for the time you fell out of a tree on top of me. That really hurt." she said.

"The sexual tension around you two is so strong." Luna stated.

We all turned to look at her like she had said that she was a going to run around the Great Hall naked. In disbelief, I would have never expected her to say such a thing. But she did. Blaise was the first to recover, and started laughing. Hermione blushed, but giggled a little bit too. Once I started laughing Professor Snape chuckled and pointed us towards the door, reminding Luna to stay close to Blaise. He would need her to get energy and to help resist killing other students. He was a whole different person around me and Blaise, his almost children.

"Hey, why don't we all go on a double date next week? It's not a Hogsmeade weekend, but we can still go do something on the grounds. It's been so nice out." Hermione asked.

"Sure." we all chorused.
