Darkness Always Conquers

Chapter sixteen

Gryffindor common room. November 1, 1996.

Harry was at the common room beside the girls' stairs waiting for Hermione to come down. At first when he went down from his room he didn't notice anything strange, but then by the seconds he took at walking down the stairs he notice, hears and sense that everyone around him was talking about him.

"Look, here he comes" He hears a fourth year girl said in disgusted while pointing a finger at him; she was holding a cross like if the mere object would save her from death itself. It almost made him laugh out loud by the ridicule way she was holding the cross. The girl was shaking in fear from the inside out but it seems that she was brave enough not to show it on her physical self. He could smell her fear it made him disgusted but he couldn't really blame her for what she had seen.

Walking towards the girls stairs he sees more people holding crosses and other with muggle bibles. Looking around he hears into other conversations regarding him. When he got bored he started a mental conversation with his sire. He was tired of hearing these humans feared of him and his kind.

"Good morning father" Harry thought towards his sire, while he watched as two seventh years made a dare to a third year regarding him. The two seventh years were females with long hair; the girl at the left had red hair with silky white skin while the one at the right had blondish white hair with high lights of different colors and an obviously fake tan skin. The third year was a male a little shorter than the females with brownish blonde hair with aristocratic facial completions.

"Good morning son, are you doing well?" Stephen asked him in his mind with a happy ring to it.

"I am fine father and you?" He answered while than asking him a question. It looked like the third year had made an agreement with the seventh years and was happily smiling towards, the seventh years they too were smiling towards him with contagious smiles.

"I am good, thought I am going to hunt tonight. Do you want to go with me? If you want you can invite Hermione too" Stephen said telepathically, while Harry rests his back against the wall.

"Maybe I will go, but don't you think it's dangerous for a human like her to be with us when we hunt?" Harry answers telepathically while asking his sire with a little doubtfulness in his voice.

"I don't think it will be dangerous. You are a great hunter and your senses wouldn't go crazy with Hermione there and if they do I will stop it, if something happens"

"Okay then I will go, but do you think you could take us to see your castle. Neither Hermione nor I have seen your castle and I am your son. Well actually I have seen it, but only from you memory, I want to see the real thing." Harry said in his mind without seen a brown hair girl walked a few stairs.

"Of course if you want we could go today after hunting" Stephen said while Hermione approaches Harry. He hasn't even notice.

"That will be great; well I will talk to you later. My girl is kissing me" Harry thought towards Stephen as Hermione kissed him full on the lips. He could taste the mint toothpaste on her lips, he then entered her mouth and fought dominance with Hermione's tongue, winning he explores her mouth with delicacy, making her moan in the process. Finally ending the tour in her mouth he ends the kiss to let her have a breath of air. They part their mouth from against each other and taking deep breaths they rest their foreheads against one another.

"Be gone Demon" He hears while Hermione was against him in his arms. Feeling drops of some kind of liquid touch his skin he turns around to find a third year girl, the same one that was dare to by the seven years. He sees the girl with a cross around the neck and muggle bible in her hands, she was holding a bottle of what look to be water, but in reality was Holly water. The girl was throwing the liquid from the bottle to Harry, making his clothes get wet.

At hearing the girl words leave her mouth, he and Hermione couldn't helped themselves and they started laughing like crazy drunk people.

"Ha, love did you hear, the girl called me a Demon" He said with a hint of laughers' in his voice.

"I did hear love and I think your people will be mad if they hear what the girl is comparing them with" Hermione said with a serious face trying to hide her mischief and amusement.

"Indeed, perhaps I can show―" He was saying to the already frighten audience when his sire appeared in front of him.

"G' Morning father" He said to Stephen bowling a little.

"Good Morning son and too you Hermione. Now come Harry the headmaster is waiting for you in his office" Stephen said to Harry, then turning towards Hermione and saluting her. "If you want you can come too Hermione" Stephen said to the brown hair girl.

Hermione just nodded and followed them through the exit of the Gryffindor common room. All the while she walks with the vamps she sense the stares of the students on their retreating backs.

Once in the Headmasters office, the Headmaster Dumbledore asked them to sit on the chair in front of his desk. As good students that they are the sat without any complains, while Stephen stood beside them since there wasn't another chair left for him.

"Good Morning, Harry, Hermione and Stephen" The Headmaster says while nodding at each of them. Once they replied to Dumbledore's 'Good Morning' the Headmaster's proceeds with "Now let's get to business. Harry I want to know how this happened and why did you let it happened?"

Harry was about to open his mouth to reply when Stephen interrupts him. "I will explain for him Dumbledore, after all this was my doing" said Stephen while waking to stand between Harry and Hermione's chairs.

Dumbledore just node's to let him know that he can precede.

"This all start the day Voldemort went to the Potter's house hold, you see when Voldemort threw the Killing curse at Harry it black fire vanishing Voldemort but leaving a very weak and bleeding baby. Harry's pure blood attracted one of my kind, including me. When I was approaching the house at first I didn't sense the other vampire, but I did sense the little baby cries of pain, which brought some curiosity in me. So I went into the house to see a terrible sight, there was a vampire feeding from little Harry. I killed the vampire by tearing his heart out of his chest, then I fed little Harry some of my blood so he could survive." Stephen told the story calmly without showing any emotion, always looking at the Headmaster's reactions. Dumbledore once almighty and brave look turned into a defeat one.

Albus Dumbledore was speechless for once in his life.

"Can we go to breakfast now, headmaster" Hermione asks breaking the silence.

"Yes, of course you can go" The Headmaster says looking lost in his thoughts.

They all walked out of the room and left the old man to his thoughts.

Once outside of the Headmasters Office Harry turn towards Hermione takes her hand and walks with her silently to the great hall. While entering the great hall they notice the stares of the students and professors, but they ignore them and walk towards their table. Harry could sense the fear radiating from almost every human from the room.

They sat at their table and Hermione starts eating ignoring the rude witches and wizards staring at her. When she finishes eating she turns towards Harry and watches has he drinks the blood wine from a silver cup. Just when she was about to ask something to Harry, Neville sits beside her.

"Hmm, I just want to say that even if you are a vampire Harry, I still will like to be friends with you, after all you and Stephen saved us all yesterday." Neville said to Harry looking a little nervous.

"Thanks Neville I appreciate your sincerity and yes you can still be friends with me" said Harry taking a sip from his silver cup. He then smiled at Neville and turns towards Ginny who was walking towards them from the other side of the great hall.

"Hey, Harry I want to tell you from my part and my other half that we don't mind you been a vampire, so if you don't mind I will like to sit here beside you" the red hair girl said.

"It is okay Ginny and of course you can sit here" Harry said putting the silver cup on the table. He watched as Ginny sat and then he turns towards Hermione. "Love do you want to go with Stephen and me to hunt, basically you aren't going to hunt but later we are going to his castle, so what do you say?" Harry said.

"I will be delight to go, love" Hermione said thinking of the wonderful things that she could see at the vampire's king castle. "Have you ever been to his castle?" She asked Harry.

"Has a matter of a fact no, I have never been to his castle and imagine I am his son" Harry said smiling a little.

"Wow" Hermione said not knowing what more to say.

"Indeed" Harry said to her answer while owls flew all around the room delivering post to their masters. When everyone including Harry had their post the owls flew away into the morning sky.

"Oh my god" He hears Hermione said, turning his gaze towards her, he sees that she is holding the daily prophet, apparently reading one of its article's.

"What is the matter love?" He asks her turning all his attention towards her.

"The daily prophet, they have written an article about what happened yesterday and they are making you look like you were the evil one. If you want you can read it from my paper" Hermione said handing the daily prophet to Harry.

He took the paper without another word and start reading the said article. It went like this:

The Daily Prophet, Page 12.

'Boy who lived' Our Savior or Our Death? By Rita Skeeter.

-Dear Wizards and Witches of our community yesterday evening an atrocity was commit, our 'Boy who lived' killed fellow wizards and witches without even blinking an eye. He led an attack with Death Eaters to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. He and the band of Death Eaters were contained by the Order of the Phoenix. Later on while searching for any other weapons on Mr. Potter Albus Dumbledore found that our 'Boy who lived' was a dark creature a "Vampire". (For more information on dark creatures such as Vampires, Werewolf and Ghouls go to page 8 thru 10) When questioned about Mr. Potter's act of evil students and professors of Hogwarts told me 'Rita Skeeter' that it was obvious that something like that would happened regarding him, has he the 'Boy who lived' bought his fame since his supposed defeated of 'he who mustn't be named' that awful October 31 1981. - Harry was seething as he read the outrageous lies that the newsletter told about him. He was so angry that he decided not to finish reading the article. He couldn't believed someone could lie like that, well he actually could believed it but for the students and professors to talked about him liked that was just plain unforgivable. And that reporter was worse than them. After all she was the one who wrote it down. He was shaking from the anger.

"Harry don't worry. Calm down." Hermione's soothing voice whisper against his ear, while she ran her hand down to the length of his hair calming him.

Soon enough he was calmed enough to talk, his shakings were now none existent. "That Rita Skeeter is going down" He said to his beloved while dark thoughts filter in his mind.

"Indeed love, she is, but first we must talk about this to the Headmaster" She said taking the crush news paper from his hands. "We will have our revenge" She said kissing his pale rosy lips while looking at his lovely green eyes.
