Crimsion Kiss

Recap Chapter 18

Draco walked slowly in the doungens. It seemed too quiet and he had yet to see a single student. It was saturday, students should have been running and joking around. As Draco felt he had gone too far already and turned to leave, he was grabbed from behind and pulled into an empty classroom, the door locked firmly behind him...

Chapter 19

Lucius Malfoy held his head high, his arm bent with his cane held tightly, his eyes coldly looking down on any and all undeserving students that got in his way.

Given the state of things, this day was one of the better ones.

"Ah, Dumbledor. Severus. How are the both of you?"

"Well, hello, Lucius. I must say it is a surprise to see you out so early. I was just telling Severus here that you would be showing up."

"HeadMaster," Severus cleared his throat to get his attention. "Perhaps we should both meet Draco and then join you in your office? I believe Lucius would like to speak with Draco about a personal matter before?"

"Very well. Please join me as soon as you can. I will have tea waiting."

Lucius watched Dumbledor leave until he spoke. "Thank you, Severus. I really must be insane to have let you talk me into siding with that old fool."

"Calm now, my friend. It's not the fool we are to side with, but the wise man."

"Calling the boy a wise man. Surly you don't believe that. I understand the boy is your mate but he is, infact, still a boy. Severus you can not expect him to lead us."

"I not only expect him to lead us, he will be victoriuos."

Deep within the school, Draco struggled in his bonds. As soon as he had been grabbed, someone had tied his writs and ankles and put a blindfold on him. He could hear them mumbling, 4 maybe 5 of them. Every once in a while he would catch a few words.

"-Malfoy-"

"-shouldn't be like this-"

"-kill him-"

"-what about Potter?-"

"-dangerous-"

"-feed him-"

"-like red ridinghood-"

"Mr.Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Harry asked. He had come back to the Common Room with Ron and Hermione to talk to Draco but he had already left.

"Call me Lucius, Harry." Lucius looked around and frowned. "I was actually looking for Draco. I thought he would be here with you. I had asked him to talk with you about summer vacation."

"I haven't seen him since this morning. I wasn't feeling well and we
fell asleep. I left before he woke up."

A growl stopped Lucius from responding.

"You fell asleep." Severus sneered. "You will explain. Now."

"It's nothing, Severus. I woke up early and needed someone to talk to."

"You should come to me if you have a problem."

"Perhaps now is not the time? My son is not here, where he said he would be."

Harry nodded, looking at his two friends and silently thanking them for not interupting. "We could go around and look for him. If we split up we could cover more ground. Why don't we meet here after an hour and see what we've found?"

"Agreed."

"Sure."

"Very well. An Hour."

"You are coming with me, Mr. Potter."

---HPSS---

"-did he say?-"

"-was out-"

"-anything?-"

"-I missed-"

"-instead of Potter?-"

"-hasn't reported back-"

"-can't keep him-"

"-kill him-"

Harry walked quietly beside Severus. He was worried that they wouldn't find Draco. He was even more worried about how they would find him if they did. It unnerving to not hear his voice, more so now that it was getting dark.

After the first hour was up and everyone returned with no Draco, Harry couldn't just sit still. He had demamnded to go back out.
So everyone had left, agreeing to meet up every hour to let the others know if they had found anything. After five trips, Harry was starting to lose faith.

"You're part Vampire, can't you like... I don't know... sniff him out
or something?"

"I am not a mutt nor a werewolf. I do not sniff out anything. Vampire are able to use empathic ablities to locate other members of their Clan when in danger."

"That's great! Try it!"

Severus turned with a glare. "If it was something as simple as that, do you really think we would have spent that past 5 hours searching on foot? Someone must have placed wards around him that do not allow for creature allure or ablitlies."

"Who could do that?"

"Not a student. Wards are advanced magic, above even NEWT levels. Hogwarts is very heavely warded, to have placed wards inside would take either approval of the current Head Master or someone even more powerful then him to have manipulated the protections."

"What if Draco isn't in Hogwarts anymore? Could he have been taken out?"

"Both the Head Master and Head of House are alarted when a student leaves the school grounds."

"So only Dumbledor or who? A teacher could have set up wards?"

"Either way, he must have known what was going on." Severus growled, turning on his heal and heading in the direction of Dumbledore's office.

"Stop! If you go to him, he'll only pretend he doesn't know what you're talking about. He could kill Draco if he thinks we're onto him. If we can find a way to get to Draco with him knowing, we could take Dumbledore down and he would never see it coming!"

Severus smirked, leaning in a claiming Harry's lips in a searing kiss. He pulled him close to his body, moaning at the contact with his mate. "Mine." He gasped before sinking his sharp fanging into Harry's neck.

Harry cried out and arched into Severus, half his blood rushing to the bite and the other half south. His eyes opened wide, unable to close as he was overtaken by the pleasure. His mouth hung open, a low humming moan escaping as he grew light headed and he felt a burst of power expand out.
