Mr Potter I Presume?

The rest of harrys holidays went by without the slightest mishap. he had fun at the Weasleys, nobody mentioned the fact he had gone missing, thinking perhps it would be better to let him do his own thing, but they had kept a closer eye on him.

Hermione was itching to tell someone what she knew of harry, but she kept it down, knowing full well it would break Harrys heart and his trust in her if she did such a thing. but if he didnt do something about telling soemone soon, she would tell. No matter what he would think of her afterwards.

The day came for the return to Hogwarts. Everyone was excited. This would be the trios last year at Hogwarts and they were going to make the best of it. But it was also a year, to be careful around strangers... Very strange strangers...

\"Harry i thought i told you not, to put that green with that brown.\" Ginny said as she wlaked over to him, her head shaking in disappointment.

Harry just shrugged and went back to piling his trunk into one of the trains compartment. He looked over and out the window, only to look straight into the face of someone oddly familiar.

Liam nodded his head once at Harry before climbing onto the train himself and stepping into Harry compartment.

\"Morning.\" He said nodding his head at Hermione, Ron and Ginny.

\"hello.\" Hermione said, \"I dont believe that i have ever seen you before?\"

\"Nope. new here.\" Liam, sat down besides harry.

Harry gulped knowing somehow exactly why Liam was there.

Hermione kept looking from Harry to th new comer thinking how similar they looked in small ways , then it struck her, Liam was the same as Harry. was it he who had done this thing to Harry? Was it someone he knew? Hermione was just about to demand what was going on when Liam held up his hand as if to stop her before she veen got to say anything.

\" ah, ah, ah, \" he said wiggling his finger infront of her.

Ron and Ginny looked at the other three in total confusion.

\"Would you mind telling us what is going on here?\" Ron asked impatiently.

\"Will do.\" Liam said cheekily.

\"Oh, no you dont.\" harry said warningly.

\"Fine then, you tell them.\"

\"Oh, no i wont.\"

\"you\'ve already told her.\" Liam said inannoiance as he pointed to Hermione.

\"Thats different, she can handle it.\"

\"Excuse me!\" whats that sposed to mean?\" Ron asked angrily.

\"That!\" harry said looking directly at Ron and his angrily flushed cheeks.

\"If you dont tell them, i will.\" Liam said stubounly.

\"Ergh, you re so annoying.\"

\"Oh, you have no idea.\"

Harry took a deep breath and looked at his other two friends, completely ignoring the galsre he was recieving from Hermione. he considered his words very carefully, Liam was fidgeting beside him becoming mor eimpatient by the second.

\"You see, soemthing happened to me over the summer, that kinda changed my life. Not that its bad or anythig, though it does kinda have afew sore spots to it, not to mention i have to find some kind of mate and what not. Why do I have to find a mate?\" Liam directed the question at Liam who was trying to hide his amusent.

\"you\'re rambling.\"

\"Mate?\" Ginny asked confused, then blushed when Liam looked at her.

\"He\'s a vampire.\" hermione said quietly, not looking at anyone in the room.

\"he\'s a what now?\" ron said, thinking that maybe he hadn\'t heard her properly.

\"A VAMPIRE!\" Liam shouted at Ron. \"What?\" He asked at the look he got from Harry.

\"You want to shout that a little bit louder i dont think they heard you in australia.\"

\" What do you mean Harrys a vampire?\" Ron asked shakily, looking at Harry warily.

\"exactly that, hes a vampire. be glad its me here and not one of the female, cuz boy, would they of ever be down your throats about loyalty and what not by now. What?\" he asked again when everyones face went pale. \"Oh the throats comment, sorry about that, just a figure of speach yo know?\"

Harry shook his head in laughter.

\"This isnt funny harry. You have been turned into a vampire and all you can do about it is laugh?\"Hermione said angrily.

\"Hermione, I\'m immortal. That means i cant die, Voldemort cant kill me because im already dead.\" harry said this between chuckles. \"it also mens that the vampires are on our side in a way.\"

\"A small way.\" Liam said measuring with his thumb and finger. \"very small way.\"

\"Was it you who changed him?\" Ginny asked.

\"HELL NO!\" Liam said loudly, shuddering. \"Not my type im afraid. Sure hes an alright guy, but NONO NO NO NO.\"

\"Then who did?\" Hermione asked.

\"Like i\'d tell you that.\"

\"Well why not?\" hermione asked disappointed.

\"Trust me, you dont want to know. I mean you reaaaalllllllllyyyyy, dont want to know.\"

\"Why?\" Hermione persisted.

\"he\'s old.\"

\"keep going.\" Hermione encouraged. Harry shoulders were shaking again from laughter.

\"i dont like your friends.\" Liam sulked to harry as he refused to answer Hermiones persistant questions.

\"If you dont like my friends, wait till you meet my enemies.\" harry stated.
