And we're back with an answer to DZ2s blood and Magic challenge rules below:
DZ2's 'Blood and Magic' Challenge:
Plot: Summer holidays are meant to be a time away from trouble, but not when your name is Harry James Potter. Turned into a vampire, now our hero seeks his survival.
Rules: Light, Grey, Dark or Evil Harry Grey
Vampire Harry
As a magical vampire, Harry can walk in sunlight, is immune to garlic and has an ability unique to him referred to as the Blood Blessing what this gift may be is up to you
Harry must be at least thirteen when he's bitten and/or turned End of 3rd year
If/When he's bitten, Harry must be trained by a vampire nobleman/clan leader
As part of his turning, he is given access to his fortunes as Lord Potter
Harry MUST have a shadow familiar
Soul Bond story With Hermione, but I have something slightly different in mind for this
Guidelines: Werewolves are allies with the vampires Sort of
Harry and his clan are approached by Tom maybe
Harry's 'turning' is a hereditary trait/curse instead of being bitten Yep
Sirius joins Harry and becomes vampire himself No cus Sirius is gonna be something else
Crossovers elements of Rosario Vampire and Vampire Knight
Slash NO
Harry is hailed as the next lord of his clan No, I don't really like this idea. I don't see why a race of immortals would follow a Fledgling.
Through some magical means, Harry has more than one Blood Blessing Maybe
As a Light-aligned vampire, Harry seeks to become a sort of Angel or Blade character/hero and fight his curse/thirst etc. No
The biting/turning happens after Hogwarts' time No
Forbidden: Harry staying human or being purged of the curse
All Harry's friends against him
Harry's pairing being a normal pairing: his vampire blood/soul calls out to his other
Harry serving Tom: equals or not at all
Other than that, it's up to you...
Oh, and to best describe Blood Blessings and what they are, the best way I can think of is to say that they're like the Dark Gifts from Twilight that is unique to every different vampire.
This story starts at the end of the Third Year and will go in a rather interesting direction. I'm taking quite a few cues from Rosario Vampire for the Vampires, Werewolf and the other monsters that will be making appearances, but I don't plan to have this be a full crossover. Enjoy!
Bloodthirst
Harry Potter was running, his breath coming out in short pants as the trees flashed past him, occasionally leaping over roots, his ears straining to hear his pursuer. The young Wizard scrambled up a small rise and paused for a moment, panting and looked back for his pursuer. Upon seeing no sign of it, he let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave, only to come face to muzzle with the werewolf that had been his teacher.
Harry staggered back in surprise and fear as the wolf let out a howl and pounced, landing on Harry and sinking its fangs into his shoulder. The teenaged Wizard let out a cry of pain as the powerful jaws crushed his shoulder and the burning of the Lycanthropy virus entering his veins The magical disease rushed through Harrys bloodstream, heading directly to the center of his being to do its work, only to slam into something… odd.
If it were possible to view the blockage, it would appear to be a wall made of solid stone with several archaic seals painted on it that surrounded the deepest part of Harrys being, the part that made him who he was and the place the werewolf virus needed access to. The magical affliction threw itself at the wall, bouncing off it, before trying again. Again and again, the Virus pounded on the wall, slowly causing cracks to appear in it, letting out beams of red light. Embodied by this, the virus redoubled its efforts until the wall finally fell. However, before the Virus could move forwards, the thing the wall had been holding back surged out, instantly incinerating the virus without even pausing. It shot through Harrys body, making its changes to what the boy SHOULD have been his entire life.
In the outside world, the werewolf was suddenly thrown away by a blinding, bloody red light that suddenly shone from Harrys body, dyeing the entire world in a ruddy glow. The bushes at the edge of the clearing rustled and a group of people ran into the clearing, only to be brought up short by the sight of the now glowing Harry. A cloud of bats suddenly appeared from the sky, flying out of the now blood red moonlight to surround Harrys form, seemingly disappearing into him as they covered him in a black shell. The werewolf backed away, fear clear in its movements as a massive weight suddenly seemed to press down on the clearing.
"No way," whispered Sirius Black, his eyes wide, "This feeling...It can't be, theres no way…"
"What's wrong Sirius?" asked Hermione Granger, "What's happened to Harry?"
Before the convict could answer, the black shell of bats suddenly peeled of Harrys body, revealing a very much changed boy. He now looked like he hadn't lived for 11 years without getting a proper meal, with clearly toned arms and chest under his tattered school shirt, which had been torn up during the chase through the forest. The most obvious changes, however, were his hair, which had turned silver.
On the other side of the clearing, the werewolf seemed to get over its fear of the monstrous amount of power now leaking from the teen and started growling at him. Harry opened his eyes at the sound, revealing a pair of blood red, slitted orbs, at the sight of which, the werewolf recoiled slightly and Sirius gulped.
"Silver hair, red eyes and this enormous aura of power, there's no doubt about is," muttered Sirius, "This is the legendary S-class monster, a Vampire."
"A vampire?" asked Hermione, "But how is that possible? Harry hasn't been bitten by a vampire!"
Sirius shook his head.
"Not one of the vampires you hear about in DADA or read about in books. Those are just pale imitations of the true, Pure-blooded Vampire bloodlines, created when wizards tried to replicate their is what a true Vampire looks like."
He pointed at Harry who was staring down the werewolf with contempt clear in his eyes. The werewolf seemed to take offence at that and charged the now silver haired teen, only to receive a foot to the chin, sending it flying straight up through the canopy. The silver haired teen crouched, before leaping straight up after the wolf and vanishing from sight. A second later, the werewolf came crashing back down to earth, blowing a crater in the ground as Harry drove it down with his fist. The Vampire grabbed the bloody werewolf by the scruff of its neck and lifted it up, throwing it across the clearing.
"Pathetic creature," growled Harry, "Know your place!"
He charged, his fist cocked back and glowing from the massive amount of power contained within. Sirius growled.
"Damn, hes gonna kill him!" said the Convict, running forwards.
"Sirius wait!" yelled Hermione, only to freeze as the convicts body seemed to stretch out and transform.
However, his new form wasnt that of a huge, bearlike dog, but instead a humanoid wolf with digitade legs, sharp claws and an impressive, lion like mane of black hair streaming out behind it. The transformed Sirius slammed into Harry, forcing him back with a flurry of blindingly fast punches that actually seemed to hurt the Vampirized boy as he was slammed into and through a tree. Sirius landed on his feet, eyeing the cloud of dust thrown up by his attack with trepidation. The reason for his worry became clear a moment later as Harry erupted from the dust cloud became clear a moment later as Harry suddenly erupted from the dust, his fist cocked back. Sirius jumped out of the way, just in time to avoid getting crushed by the blow, which blasted another large crater in the clearing.
"Harry, calm down!" yelled Sirius, his voice distorted slightly by his wolfish muzzle.
The teen ignored Sirius and simply charged him again, blasting another crater in the clearing as the wolfish man dodged the blow.
"Come on pup, I don't want to hurt you!" yelled Sirius as he ducked another swing, only to get a foot to the gut, sending him flying across the clearing to smash into a large rock.
Sirius pulled himself out of the rock and brushed the dust off his fur, appearing none the worse for wear, despite the incredible amount of force behind the blow.
"Alright, you wanna play? then lets play."
The convict vanished, appearing in front of Harry to slam a clawed hand into his stomach, sending him flying across the clearing. At the edge of said clearing, Hermione watched the destruction in awe, unable to believe what she were seeing.
"A fight between two S class monsters, a rare treat," said a familiar voice from next to the teen, making both Hermione jump and look to see Headmaster Dumbledore stood next to them with Fawkes on his shoulder.
"H-headmaster?" questioned the girl in a hesitant tone.
"Yes Miss Granger?" said the old man, turning to look at the girl with a twinkle in his eye.
"When did you get here sir?" asked Hermione after shaking of the surprise of the old mans sudden appearance.
"Just now actually," replied said old man, "I sensed these two going at it and thought I should make sure they don't destroy the school."
"What do you mean sir?" asked the bushy haired bookworm.
Dumbledore turned back to the still fighting Harry and Sirius.
"Those two are two fine examples of true Monsters, the kind that the Ministry prefer the general public don't know about," began the old man, "An S class Vampire, the strongest of all Monsters, and a Werewolf, the fastest of all monsters and one of the few who can match up to a Vampire in a fight. They are far beyond the creatures spoken of in DADA class or any of the books you could find on Monsters."
"But what about Professor Lupin?" asked Hermione, "Isn't he a werewolf?"
Dumbledore frowned.
"In a way. The werewolves and vampires that you learn about in DADA are the result of wizards attempting to replicate the powers of the original creatures and creating a curse that is nothing more than a twisted shadow of the original. Professor Lupin never stood a chance."
At that moment, Harry and Sirius slammed into one another with enough force to rip a few smaller trees out of the ground and shatter the stone under them, creating a wind that blew Hermione off her feet, although Dumbledore appeared unaffected.
"Hmm, I think I should stop them," said the old man, "If they keep this up they'll wake up the whole castle."
He stepped forwards and vanished, appearing between the two fighting Monsters and grabbing Sirius hand and Harrys foot, stopping both cold, before throwing Sirius across the clearing into a dazed Lupin and holding onto the struggling Harry long enough to slip something over his head. As soon as it was on, the teen went limp, slumping against the headmaster as his hair bleed back to black. Sirius struggled to his feet, only to freeze in place as Dumbledore gave him a look.
"Now Sirius, I thought you knew better than to cause so much destruction, especially when you're being hunted."
The convict gulped and turned back into human form.
"Albus, you have to know that I'm…"
"Innocent, I know," interrupted the old man.
Sirius opened and closed his mouth for a moment before speaking.
"You know? How?"
In answer Dumbledore held up a struggling rat by the tail.
"You don't really think I don't know what happens in my school do you?" he asked, "I was watching the whole thing, from the moment you came out of the passage to the Shrieking Shack. To be honest I'm surprised Peter was able to hide from me for so long."
Sirius jaw worked for a second, before he sighed and slumped slightly.
"Why am I not surprised?" he asked.
Dumbledore just smiled benignly, before hoisting Harrys limp form over his shoulder and turning to a stunned looking Hermione.
"Now, how about we pick up Mr Weasley and Professer Snape and get back to the castle?" he asked, "I shall explain all in my office."
And I'm gonna end it there. Just to be clear, this is set before they go back in time, an event that obviously won't be happening in this retelling.
I'm sure you can see now why I said I'd be taking cues from Rosario and Vampire. Yes, I did make Sirius a Werewolf like Gin and yes I did make Harry a Vampire like Moka.
I hope my explanation of why Lupin is so different to Sirius makes sense. Basically, Wizards, being the arrogant dipshits they are, decided to try and replicate the incredible powers of Vampires and Werewolves and ended up making contagious diseases that transform the victims into twisted shadows of the originals.
I also made Dumbledore something other than an evil, manipulative old man. Now hes a powerful, creepy and manipulative old man, similar to the Headmaster in RaV.
I hope you enjoyed this entry to the Vault enough to leave me a review! Peace out!
