Another Beginning

Chapter 9

"Come on then" smiled Harry walking towards the opening to Diagon Alley.

"If you want a drink Ladies and Gentlemen there is plenty of animal blood or if you prefer wizard blood available." said Tom softly smiling brightly at them. No one seemed awed or shocked to see them but they did get a couple of curious looks at their eye colour. It's obvious everyone there new what they were, they crowded around Harry so no one got a good look at him.

So maybe the wizarding world wasn't far behind as Harry had assumed he seemed to know they preferred animal blood.

"You know we prefer animal blood? How?" asked Carlisle curiously. He was under the impression by Harry that the Wizarding World was backwards. Perhaps Harry didn't know this man very well, he sat down on one of the stools wanting to speak more to this man.

Tom beamed as if he was happy to answer their questions as if he hadn't spoken to in months "That's easy you're kind come and go it's not very often but it is done"

"I see" said Carlisle smiling softly.

"Will wizard's blood give us red eyes?" asked Harry.

"Yes" replied Tom, Edward and Emmett as one. Edward and Emmett knew because Edward had red eyes after turning Harry - he only consumed a little blood which surprised him - he must have more self control than he imagined.

"Oookk" asked Harry laughing slightly.

"Harry Potter?" gasped Tom quietly.

"Please Tom I don't want anyone to know I'm here" Harry replied his face begging for the man to be quiet. Harry had no idea the entire Wizarding world was looking for him, well apart from Dumbledore and a few members of the Order who knew of Dumbledore's plans.

"Are you his sire?" asked Tom rounding on Carlisle.

"No actually Edward here is" smiled Carlisle kindly.

"Do you know who you have turned?" asked Tom looking afraid for Edward.

"Oh Tom don't start I was dying I wouldn't have made it" hissed Harry looking very agitated.

"I know you said you were famous but this is way over the top" said Edward frowning.

"Why what is he thinking?" asked Harry curiously.

"He's thinking I'm going to be executed on the spot for turning you" said Edward eyebrows rose in amusement.

Harry laughed "They would need to go through me first" he ended in a snarl.

No one touched the people he had grown to love without going though him first.

That might not be a problem now they knew he was a vampire but his magic was all there (which was unusual) so they would have a fight on their hands. Not that he planned on staying here for long, he was just going to make sure Severus and Draco were alright and he was leaving. He cared for no one else, everyone he had cared for were now six feet under.

"Dumbledore demanded I tell him if you ever came here" said Tom.

"Dumbledore doesn't care for me now that I've defeated Voldemort if he thought I didn't know his intentions he is not as bright as he thinks" sneered Harry. Being a vampire gave him the ability to shift through his memories from an entirely different perspective. He wasn't overly emotional and he noticed things he hadn't before.

Tom smiled sadly "That was the same with Tom Riddle the poor boy used to come here and drink himself silly"

Harry choked on nothing "Tom Riddle used to come here and drink himself silly because of Dumbledore?"

"Indeed, he was fond of the old man apparently, but when Tom became apprenticed to Grindelwald things got even worse poor boy" said Tom.

"Tom….Tom Riddle …" Harry closed his eyes as he explained "was Voldemort" said Harry.

Tom paled drastically looking more like the vampires he was in the presence with than a normal human.

"Excuse me" moaned Tom quickly leaving the room, even not in the same room as the man they knew what he was doing - bring sick.

"Sorry about that" said Tom five minutes later.

"This world would have been better off without Dumbledore" sighed Harry sadly.

"We don't know that Grindelwald might have taken over you know" catechized Tom.

"Maybe" sighed Harry.

"Harry what is Azkaban?" whispered Edward so low that none of the Witches and Wizards could hear them. Not Even Tom heard the question Edward asked Harry or he would have answered for him. He seemed so eager to talk to them, as if he was trying to stall them but Harry knew Edward would have told them if he was trying to do such a thing. Tom must have just wanted some company.

If Harry could pale he would have, Jasper gave Harry a look silently asking if he was ok, Harry just nodded and replied "Azkaban is hell for criminals the Dementors guard it they are the worst creatures known to man they suck all good feelings from you leaving you feeling depressed watching you're worst memories over and over again - they even suck out you're soul leaving you a shell of the person you once were why what did you hear?"

The Cullen's winced at that it sounded horrific. Even criminals didn't deserve that happening to them…they wondered how Harry knew so much about them - that was something they didn't want to contemplate.

"Someone thought that it's about time Snape was in there" said Edward reluctantly.

Harry gave out a horrified gasp if Severus was in there that meant Draco was too.

"Hold on to me" said Harry quietly he seemed desperate for something now.

Tom blinked and sighed when everyone disappeared and went back to work.

They did as they were told wondering what was going to happen; none of them were prepared for the feeling of being sucked into a very small enclosed space. They dry heaved as soon as they touched the ground. It wasn't long before they began shivering and looking in horror at the place they now identified as Azkaban Prison.

"Jesus Christ how do they survive" shuddered Jasper brought to his knees by all the emotions he was experiencing.

"Jasper hold still" said Harry quickly using a spell, Jasper gasped in shock when he felt no one but his own emotions for the first time since he was turned during the Civil War.

"Waa…what did you do?" asked Jasper feeling as if a part of him was gone.

"I suppressed all the emotions you could feel…I'm sorry I didn't think of using it before we apparated" said Harry softly looking very apologetic.

"It's alright" said Jasper still feeling very strange.

"I'll take it back off once we are away now you have to stay here, the Dementors can still affect you and take you're soul away" said Harry gathering himself ready to run and jump.

"I'm coming" said Edward before Harry could jump.

"No Edward just stay here I couldn't protect you all from them" said Harry adamantly.

"You can Harry I trust you" said Edward.

Harry looked at him and sighed before nodding.

"Come back safe" said Carlisle he knew his son he was going if Harry had agreed or not. So he didn't even bother protesting they were facing the unknown and it scared them. They had every confidence that Edward and Harry would be alright.

"It will be fine" said Alice coming out of a vision.

Edward had a look of despair on his face…Harry was going to freak when he found out about this. God help whoever had done that, Harry was going to crush them into a thousand pieces.

"Let's go" said Edward not mentioning it to Harry he would find out soon enough anyway.

He just hoped Azkaban remained intact.

"Move it" snarled the Azkaban guard pushing Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy deeper into the pits of Azkaban Prison.

"What are you doing!" yelped Draco he hated being manhandled and if he was honest with himself he was utterly petrified.

"You're going closer to the Dementors" smirked the man "Then in a years time you're going for a permanent kiss"

"No" moaned Draco looking utterly devastated. Hate stirred in him it was his damn father that had gotten him here. He wished he had listened to his mother and went to Harry before he had been marked. He had been so sure his destiny was to be a Death Eater…that was until he saw what they did to people…Muggles and Magical people alike. They didn't deserve what his father and Voldemort were doing.

Severus was emotionless as usual, walking along even if the guard had his wand pointed at his back. He didn't even so much as twitch when the Dementors kiss was mentioned, he believed he deserved it for everything he had done. Although he despaired for his godson he didn't deserve it, Severus had made sure to shield him from the activities by telling Voldemort he wanted Draco to help him in the labs. Voldemort didn't mind having two people good at potions as he wasn't any good himself so let Severus have his way.

"Have fun" sneered the man, chucking them into the cell.

"Professor Snape?" gasped a very VERY familiar voice.

"It's not possible" gasped Severus wide eyed staring at the student before him as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Waa…." said Draco wide eyed before he actually passed out unable to believe his eyes or ears.

Oooo who's in Azkaban prison? that would cause Draco Malfoy to pass out that the dementors couldnt do to him? what has shocked Severus so much? R&R do u like that harry has just apparated to Azkaban? lol instead of going to the ministry?
