Unlocking the Past

"Actually there are an alarmingly large number of books regarding vampiers and half-breeds there. Few rare and every expensive volumes regarding half-vampiers too it can not be a simple to get them untill he sold a few asserts." Colin piped in having cleared the library when they were tere, it took a minute of silence before Harry finally spoke, "I think it's time you explained about this bond you have with her Ron and clearly! Seems like most of the story starts there!"

"Harry mate, the story starts a little before that, it starts with how she became one of the trinity! You might want to sit down for this." Once all of them had settled down Ron began his story, "It began around fifty years ago Harry, in fact unlike what even you-know-who thinks Trinity is not some ancient vampier but a set of three powerful witches who turned into vampiers. One is killed then the other takes her place but there is a clause, a huge clause!"

"What is it?" Harry asked waving his hand getting a note book and pen to flow down towards him. Notes were begun like he had developed a habit into, they seemed important now, "Trinity… so three witches + vampiers. Leaders! What next Ron!"

"Trinity though he thought was one queen, one witch turned vampier. Clear so far?" Harry nodded, "So what happened that night anyone who can help give a clear picture?"

"It is there in her memories, Naina's but they are very tough to find them." Ron sighed running his hands through his hair before as if by shock got up, "Wait, I think I know few who can help us with such things first: Albus Dumbldore; second: Severnus Snape; third: Remus Lupin actually wait put Remus on hold Harry we are going to need him for something else. I am going to need them for details regarding the half-breed books. If there is anyone who can hit upon them and understand a little bit then it would be him."

"Putting it down as Remus: research duty on Black half-breed collection and time line. We may need to know how far back the Blacks go with such things." Harry replied, Ron nodded an affermative as Dean walked inside a book in his hand, "Hay Harry whats up? Why do you want my log book?"

"Dean – I need you to start looking up on that log and filter out those girls who was directly introduced to you by Hermoine. Make a list filled with details and give it to me. You can mannage that right?"

"Ofcourse I can –" Dean was cut of by Harry, "I meant multi tasking is it a possibility?"

"Yeah it's a walk through but whats it the issue?" Dean demanded, Ginny instantly filled him in regarding the solution before Ron could start with the story, "The bond is something that's very special in the magic world but not manny know about this. If a wizard wants to grow in terms of status and money there is one way, the darkest way of all. Binding themselves and their family with a powerful vampier – they remain loyal to the vampier and fight for what the vampier wants in turn the vampier provides them with financial and social powers. Success beyond their dreams for every family member and more

The bond is something that is very special in the magic world Harry. Especially because it provides them with a lot of power. Its dark magic but a powerfun one too, it's a deal as part of the bond the members are slaves to the vampier on one side. On the other side they are provided with a lot of power, Dreams come true, power and money too also great magically strong kids in return a few dirty jobs and all high end."

"Your going to have to define this high end better Ron!" Harry demanded and Ron sighed before replying, "Clearly? High end includes things like blood supply and certain magical sources – herbs, stones, plants basically anything they desperately need but cant find. Extends to even potions but the demands placed are always within the limits of supply or so it's said. Basically they have a few 'families' who are bound to them and they somehow provide them with a lot of power. In turn they can never say no for anything they ask, even if it means sacrificing a loved one. Its always a very though call, but it's a call they may have to take but it has a tough deal in turn. Mostly the eldest son of the family ends up getting a Vella mate – no choice there but yeah they can largely end up having an extra afair or marriage in the background. Only the eldest son so that allows the guy a chance to keep the line going or so it's said!"

"Eldest son? The eldest son gets a vella mate – Ron?" Harry cut him of only to not have his quistion answered, "Not now Harry it's a long story and it's certainly for another time. It's more important that we focus upon understanding the bond. Like I said, they cut a hard deal Harry a very hard one because there are conditions applied. Condition number one: The children of the eldest and the vella will be vellas so they too will face the same submisive fate of creatures. You cant protect them ever just watch them. Condition number two: You can not stop with just two children you are going to need more than that. More warriors for the vampier see and each male is bound to the bond."

"Wait let me get my understanding right, so Bills kids are going to be Vellas male or female and what ever happens to them after the bonding… Bill cant?" Ginny shook her head, "Yeah Bill has no say it it not even the bonding or their upbringing. It hurts like hell!"

"Condition one – a vella mate plus the knowladge that your kids will be vellas but that's only for the eldest in each family. In grand pas case it was Oliver Weasely's and this time it is Bill right?" Harry asked, Ron and Ginny nodded, "Yeah but the first born of Charlie, Percy, Fread and George too would have to face the same condition."

"Condition two – manny kids! So I gusse condition three is do everything that's asked. Whats condition number four? Dean you getting all of this down?" Harry added glancing at his friend who nodded, Ron continued, "Yeah that's condition number four! So down to condition number five – that's the curse."

"Curse?" Dean asked noteing the word and circiling it, Ginny took over, "Curse – if one is to betrays the mistress ever then the curse comes to effect. The father, the sons and the brothers would have to face a time when all the gifts bestowed upon them are removed. They would be driven to povery and pushed to a living of powerlessness! There are only two ways to remove the curse – first sacrifice traitor needs to be captured and sacrificed by the family themselves. Second was that the after the traitors death they need to refresh the bond with the vampier but after suffering greately from the curse and proving their loyalty by doing an impossible task which is given by the vampier. Most don't take that option its that tough."

"I thought Trinity died before that so how did you?" Harry asked only to have Ron once again (uncharectistically) cut him of, "Just let me finish Harry I will answer all your quisitons!"

"Yes, like you said Trinity did die but that's not the important part right now. Whats important is a little wizard society history, nearly fifty years Weaselys were rich Harry and I mean filty rich. Malfoys were nothing compared to them! Now please focus, fifty years they were powerful but there was nothing illegal they could be caught up on. There was also a heavy load of protection so they could afford realy risky jobs too!"

"Jobs which involve dragons, muggle dealing and defence, being aurors or even curse brakers. Am I right?" Harry asked, Ron nodded, "Prety much and like you gussed when Bill and Charlie decided what they were going to do it was under the protection of Naina. There is also the muggle connection, that's why dad was able to get into this dream job. We were once highly rich Harry but all of it was lost because of Armies Wesley betraying her leading up to her death. We were not able to rectify anything either, money was suddenly pulled away and since Uncle Troy had also been killed defending her Rey had ended up leaving Ginny under mums care. Vellas, they cannot survive for long without their master. Just three days!"

Just then the portrait opened and Remus walked inside dressed in a deep blue robes, dishevel in appearance just like his hair, "Harry – why did you want me to come and see you?"

"Remus answer truthfully, except for our third year when you were the DADA teacher and now where did you work?" his face became pale and unable to answer, "Harry is it really important? I mean come on the things are better now why ponder on those old times."

"Sit down Remus, it is bigger than that." After listening to what they saw in the hospital Remus ran his hands through his hair before finally answering, "Harry it's a little… I am very ashamed of it but… it started out as odd jobs. Picking out products only werewolves can harvest. Selling my blood too for certain things but I had become a prostitute and also an object of experimentation. Cost of living is high in the magical world Harry and I cannot leave it completely. Especially if I want the wolf-bane portion."

Colin finally opened with a question, "Master if I may ask, Remus had you ever donated your seeds. Had they been harvested?"

"Yes several times – you really don't think." Colin sighed, "One of the books was on how to impregnate a male Vella. Another was regarding how to harvest a werewolf. I just linked them together based on what dad had told me. He said my father was a werewolf who's name he did not know but my father was not a lucky vella like me. He never got to be with his master."
