Chapter
fourteen
It was so
dark and cold. Harry was walking alone through the halls. Madame Pomfrey had
just released him from the infirmary, with strict orders to go straight to
defense against the dark arts for what was left of his class. Harry didn’t know
why he’d been in the hospital wing to start with. It couldn’t have been too
serious because the medi-witch had allowed him to return to classes. The
Gryffindor was so caught up within his musings that he failed to notice he had
passed his intended destination. He would have kept on walking, were it not for
the voice of his best friend Ron Wesley calling out to him.
“Oi, mate,
did Pomfrey let you come back? You look a fright. Well lets go in then,
Professor Lupin is giving a lecture on vampires. We can’t afford to miss this one;
he says it will be on the final!”
“Alright,
alright Ron I’m coming.” Harry said as he tugged his hand free from his
friend’s grasp.
The
Gryffindor was confused as to when his friend had taken his hand but he chose
to ignore this as he had started to note more frightening things. Things like
he could now see Ron’s veins pumping all that life giving blood through his
body. As the two boys turned to go back to the DADA classroom Harry suddenly
heard his friends’ drum like heart rate speed up.
“Harry,
hey Harry, mate are you okay?” Ron asked, more then a little scared by his best
friends change in demeanor.
Just as
Harry was about to answer Ron, he felt something stretch and tear within his
mouth. ‘WHAT THE…fangs!’ Then and only then did Harry become aware of
the voices. Voices that cried out, ‘bite, drink, drain, and KILL HIM!’
Ron’s eyes
widened as he saw his best friends eyes turn crimson while his teeth lengthened
into fangs. Breaking free of his shock, he turned and ran. However attempting
to run was futile on his part, for within seconds, Harry had Ron trapped
between his body and a cold stone wall. Ron struggled but couldn’t match the
superhuman strength of the vampire.
Lost to
the beast within him, Harry sank his fangs into the jugular. The scream died
upon Ron’s lips as his life force was quickly drained from his body. Licking
his lips, Harry allowed Ron’s body to fall in a lifeless heap to the ground. As
the beast was sated and Harry began to come back to himself, he heard a high
pitched laugh that was all too familiar. He heard that same laugh every time he
was near a Dementor and heard Voldemort killing his parents. He recognized the
voice too, as Voldemort said, “You’ve lost it, Harry. You have lost all that
remains of your mother and father; you are no longer protected from me.”
