Recap chapter 8

“Sure, I saw you looking at her.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Potter.”

“No, Malfoy. You were looking at her like Snape looks at Harry.”

Harry made a sound and tossed a pillow at Ron. “That still doesn’t change the fact that Malfoy likes Luna.”

Chapter 9

Over the next few days, Harry and Malfoy spent time in the Library looking for anything that might explain why his blood was bound. With Ron and Hermione trying to talk to Sirius and Remus and see what they knew, Harry was forced to be nice to Malfoy. Not that it was too hard, with him having a crush on Luna; Harry had a great time teasing him.

“Have you found anything?”

“No.” Harry sighed, rubbing his eyes. “I’ve found marriage bonds, friendship bonds, enemy bonds, magic bonds, but no blood bonds.”

“I’ve got creature bonds here, but these are to control the powers, but not hide them.”

“So, do I still have my powers?”

“You will always have your powers, you just can’t access them. They are a part of your blood. Nothing can take away your powers; only mask them. And even that doesn’t stop you from using the power.”

“I can still use my power? Even with it bound.”

Malfoy sighed and closed the large book he had been reading. “A bind can’t stop or create magic. It can only filter it. With marriage bonds, it allows magic to intertwine with other compatible magic. Any bond that stops you from using magic doesn't really stop it- only hides the switch to control it. You have the power inside you, you only need to find the trigger.”

“Wow.” Harry laughed. “You know a lot about this stuff.”

“I may not be a pureblood wizard, but I’m still a pureblood. I’ve been learning this stuff since I was a child.”

Harry smiled. “Not just that.”

“What’s that mean, Potter?”

“You just seem to know about these things, so much that it almost sounds comforting when you talk about it.”

“That’s simple, Potter.” Malfoy smirked. “Because pure blooded Vampires have slight empathic abilities. It allows us to find people useful to our Family. I know this is hard for you but you have to understand that I’m not doing this to you. Severus needs to have someone he can count on. And if you’re unsure of yourself, you won’t be able to commit to him like he deserves.”

“But you’ve hinted a few times that he may leave me. How can I commit to him if I can’t be sure if he’ll be there when I wake up?”

“He may leave, but Potter, he won’t get far.” Malfoy sighed and dropped his voice to a whisper. “He may not love you yet, but he has to have some feelings for you. Not even the Mating can force together two people if there weren’t feelings there to start with.”

“So… I had to have had feelings for him for me to react like that to the Mark?”

“Maybe, but it could also be that you are attracted to the creature side of Severus.”

“So what happens when everything is over? Will I go back to not liking him?”

“No, now that his powers are showing, they’ll be a part of him forever. And the creature power that drew you in does only that. It draws you in to see the real person. The Marking let you see Severus in a new light, and you just happened to become attracted to the person you saw.”

“So you really do like Luna? It’s not just your Vampire blood?”

“No, Potter. My father will have a fit when he finds out. No Malfoy has ever married outside of the Vampire Family. The fact that she’s a… Wait, what creature IS she?”

Harry frowned, trying to remember if she had ever told him. “I’m not sure.”

“Right, well, it’s getting late. We need to head back to the dorms to get ready for tonight.”

They packed up their stuff, returning books to the proper shelves and headed for their common room.

“Do you think it’s odd that it’s a full moon, on Halloween.”

“Plenty of full moons have been on Halloween.”

“I know but it just seems different, more meaningful, with everything that’s been going on.”

“Well, just watch out.”

“Why?”

Malfoy paused as they got to the door to the common room. “Fiery Mars is in Leo’s 8th House of Intimacy.” Malfoy smirked and ducked into the room before Harry could hit him.

Harry glared but followed, waving at Luna as he went to his room.

“Hey, Potter.”

“Hi, Zabini, where have you been?”

“Out.”

“Right.” Harry muttered as Malfoy walked over to him and dropped some clothes on his bed.

“Get dressed, Potter. We’ve got to make sure that Severus can’t miss you.”

“What?” Harry looked down at the pile of clothes. Black leather pants, dark denim, sage green silk shirts, black satin button downs, and a strange animal print thing that Harry wasn’t really sure was made for outter wear.

“Pick out what you want and then I’ll tell you if it looks okay.”

Harry frowned but strippeddown to his boxers, picking up the pair of jeans.

“Potter, you are next going to fit into those with that type of underwear. Go without.”

Harry blushed but took off his boxers, thankful that his two roommates had turned away. He pulled the jeans on. He wiggles his hips, frowning at how tight the pants were. “I think these are too small on me.”

“Nonsense, Potter, they fit just fine. Now, the black shirt or they green one?”

“Black.” Harry said as he picked up the satin shirt. He smiled at how soft it felt. “Why are you letting me borrow these?”

“Because I know Severus will like it, I told you that. Well, that and it is a costume party. Who would believe it was you dressed like that. Here’s your mask, it’s just a partical, but it’ll still cover your scar.”

“Thanks.” Harry said, buttoning his shirt. He was actually surprised Malfoy was so considerate. He wondered if Hermione had told Malfoy about his hate for his scar. Either way, he was thankful the mask covered it.

“Come on, Potter, put the mask on. We really need to ge to the Graet Hall.” Malfoy said as he started for the door, stopping when he saw Luna.

She was in a long, flowy white pale green dress that looked like it was made out pieces of torn sheets with bare feet and white daisies in her hair. “Professor Dumbledore would like to see everyone, he said it’s important.”

“Wow, Luna, you look great.” Harry said as he straigthened up his mask.

“Thank you, Harry.” She said with a small twirl. “My mother said they green would darked as I gotolder but I do like this color.”

“Oh?” Malfoy whispered, gulping as he triednotto blush.

“Yes, didn’t I tell you, my mother was a Woodland Nymph?” Luna smiled and turned to skip back down the stairs.

Harry glanced between the door and Malfoy, grinning. He looked around and saw that Zabini had already gone. “You okay there, Malfoy?”

“Yeah. My father is going to kill me when I tell him she’s a Nymph.”

“Relax, Malfoy, I’m sure he’ll understand that you reall can’t help it.” Ron said as he entered the room. But we can’t worry about that right now. Dumbledore really needs to see everyone in the common room. He said it has to do with the party tonight.”

Harry and Malfoy looked at each other and followed Ron down the stairs. The place was fuller then Harry could remember seeing it. Everyone was dressed on wild colors and some had masks too.

“Welcome.” Dumbledore cleared his throat. “Due to complaints from several parents, the Goveners have decided that all houses shall have the All Hallows Eve Ball in their respective dorms, for the safty of everyone involved. I am truly sorry. If you had a date in another House, you may intive them here, but are not allowed to go to them. If you wouldgive me the name, Ishall fetch them for you, but it is their choice as to if they would like to come.” Dumbledore said as students went up to him, handing him pieces of parchment with the name of their date on it. He smile once more at the group and left, holding the door open for Snape to enter.

“As I’m sure, many of you will try to sneak away tonight. For those of you who were not Slytherin’s before, I will tell you that it is not allowed. I have put spells on each of the dorms, girl may not enter the boys’rooms and boys may not enter the girls’. If I find you try to get past this, or find somewhere else to meet, I will make sure that you are unable to do anything other then breathe for the next two weeks. Do I make myself clear?” Snape sneered, his eyes falling on Harry.

Harry gasped when his eyes caught with Snape’s. Snape had dressed in fitted robes, open in the front to show his black button down shirt, black slacks, and black dragonhide boots that came to his knee. He looked like the Vampires Aunt Patunia had always gone on about when she had her book club.

Malfoy smirked, looking between Harry and Snape. “I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you went to talk to him.”

“Shut up, Malfoy. Where did Ron go?”

“I think he went to ask Dumbledore if Granger could come. He must be still waiting at the door.”

“Right.” Harry said, he still couldn’t take his eyes offof Snape, who, he suddenly noticed, was much closer then before. He was walking towards him! Harry yelped and turned, ducking behind a sofa and crawling on the floor until he got to the stairs to his room.

“Going somewhere, Potter?”

Harry shivered at the warm breathe on the back of his neck and the arm that went around his waist, pulling him up. “P-p-!” Harry moaned when soft lips nibbleshis ear, turning him into a puddle. “Professor!”

“Shhh.” Snape muttered as he backed them into a corner, grinning against Harry to the beat of the music, his other hand gripping Harry’s waist to bring him closer.

Harry shuddered in the strong arms, swaying along with the hips behind him, his back burned where it was pressed to Snape’s chest. He took the hand at his waist and guided it lower, brushing it against his hardening cock. He almost fainted when the hand squeezed him, his eyes rolling back and his knees going weak. If it wasn’t for the hand on his hip holding him, he was sure he would’ve fallen to the floor.

As it was, he was sure he was floating, as if in water. The sway of the music, the cool air- Harry felt as if was on a beach somewhere. He started to humm to a song only he could hear, closing his eyes and letting the feeling flow through him. Everything seemed to go quiet, only him and Snape exsiting in the bubble he seemed to create aroung them. Harry groaned, as teeth sank into his neck, blood rushing out in time with the strokes on his cock. He hardly had time to wonder when Snape’shand had made it inside his clothes before he was coming with a strangles scream. He panted as Snape pulled away.

---HPSS---

Malfoy laughed as he and Zabini walked upto their room, slightly tipsy from the fire whisky one of the other studenst had sneaked in. He stopped suddlenly as he saw Harry laying on the floor, bleeding. “Potter? Blaise, go get some hangover potion and a blood replenishing potion.”

Zabini nodded, getting the potion from the bathroom and Malfoy helped Harry onto his bed. He came back out, drink a potion as he handed the other teo to Malfoy.

Malfoy drank over, shivering as it sobered him up, and brought the other potion to Harry’s lips, rubbing his throat toget him to swallow it all.

“Is he going to be okay, Draco?”

“I don’t know. He’s been bit again, it looks like he was torn and that’s why it hasn’t healed yet.”

“What do we do about the blood? It’s starting to bother me.”

“Then clean it, Blaise.” Malfoy said as he saw Harry start to wake up. “You okay, Potter?”

A/N: Sorry everyone, there’s a huge storm here, the lights went out last night and they just came back on. Wasn’t as steamy as I was wanting, but I didn’t want to give away too much.
