Chapter Text

Severus noticed something strange Harry his son, had been acting weird for years… he was avoiding the sunlight, rarely ate, was paler than usual, Sirius noticed it as well and they had been observing him more than usual.

 

Meanwhile, Harry was going insane he needed blood but he controlled himself he can't let them find out his a bloody vampire “Fuck…” A few years ago, Harry was just peacefully walking in Hogsmeade at night when a vampire suddenly attacked him, bit him and drank his blood that he turn to a vampire right on the spot he immediately ran… he couldn't let anyone see him in this state he hid it thinking the vampire had just drunk his blood nothing else maybe the way his eyes were dilated was just instincts out of shock but days pass and harry showed signs of becoming a vampire fangs were forming… he was craving for blood always wondering how good they will taste but he always slapped himself before he tried to drink blood from someone… Harry thought it was just side effects from the bite until he realized one day he was truly a vampire, he had practically changed he looked almost human at first glance(paler than before, with tired dark-circled eyes) but up close there’s something off: his gaze sharpens like he’s always listening to something no one else can hear, his eyes flicker into deep red or shadowed black, as if something ancient is just beneath his skin waiting to break through, while his fangs can remain hidden in his human form, but he can extend or retract them at will… Harry stared at himself in horror he had become a monster he hated that thought so he practically hid it pretending to be an average human trying to survive the war but sometimes he had to force himself to starve even if he wanted blood, wanting to drink it.

 

Back to the present Harry knew his guardians were already suspecting because ever since that incident he was avoiding the sunlight, rarely ate, was paler than usual… luckily they didn't notice his eyes that glowed intensely when blood or danger or even his own emotion(mostly this one) that changes to red, gold, or black-red mix and ever since he learned that he was a vampire he got some abilities or whatever you call it he felt like his losing himself peice my piece. He tried to understand his new race… His movements became unnaturally fast and silent almost like he was slipping between spaces rather than walking through them. His presence feels heavier in the air and light seems to dim slightly around him, his gaze feels heavy enough to overwhelm people who look at him directly while his presence changes the atmosphere around him the air feels thicker, sounds feel muted or distant and people nearby instinctively feel fear or pressure without understanding why. And when he's fully starved his fangs are fully extended, claws may form and his movements become sharper, faster and almost inhumanly precise like instinct is guiding every action instead of thought and now his family is suspecting something is wrong… they aren't wrong their son has become a monster. Hiding his real emotions controlling them so that his eyes won't change color or avoiding eating something that had garlic or anything that causes a vampire pain. Garlic won't do much to a vampire like him it only causes nausea or stomach pain, weakens focus and control temporarily and causes dizziness or sensory overload and the reason he was avoiding sunlight wasn't that it would burn him it was because it weakens stamina, increases hunger faster, makes control harder over time and long exposure forces him to transform into his shadow form he was a strong vampire since he read a book about vampires, weak vampires suffer more while stronger ones can survive and can disguised themselves as humans but harry also wondered who was the vampire that bit him it can't be just a mere vampire he brushed that thought off because his father was already calling him.

 

“Dad, do you need something?” Severus stared at him longer than necessary which made Harry tense “Well, I was informed you haven't eaten dinner” he added calmly looking back at his paperwork “I'm still full, Dad, plus it's getting late I have to go to sleep” he then left, Severus knuckles went white what his son hiding?

 

Harry reach the dormitory and slipped inside as soon as he was alone he pressed his back against the wall “damn it all, dad wants me to eat but if I do I'm gonna get sick” he knew the food tonight contained garlic he smelled it a mile away and he can't let his guard down if he ate even a bit he might get stomach pain or dizzyness which would make his dad or anyone worried and he can't afford to be exposed even if he would starve.

 

The next day, Harry was visiting his godfather who insisted on visiting him which Harry reluctantly agreed to, he was just passing by when he smelled blood. He planned to ignore it but his vampire instincts won over and he went to the dark alleyway where a Death Eater was attacking an innocent young wizard… which was good because he could drink blood he attacked him using a wand and told the young wizard to run he'll handle it, the young boy immediately ran as soon as he was gone, Harry extended his fangs and lunged to the Death Eater and drank his blood while covering its mouth to prevent him from screaming a few minutes later Harry fully drank his blood he burned the body away and soft wiping the blood off, later Harry arrived at Sirius place as soon as he entered he was hugged by him and asked what took him so long Harry made an excuse that was practically the truth but mixed with lies saying “I helped a young boy out he was getting bullied and all” and Sirius truly believed it, Sirius bought him food luckily is did not contain any ingredients that weakens a vampire so Harry ate it, Sirius noticed Harry looked tired and asked what's wrong Harry then said he couldn't get enough sleep last night, Sirius grew worried and said to rest first he was here, Harry nodded but his thoughts were the opposite what if he accidentally slipped and Sirius will find out his a Monster? But he can't just say no to him when he looks worried so he reluctantly agreed and just hopes he won't expose himself, “Rest pup I'm not going anywhere” Harry only gave a small smile and lay down on the couch as his eyes were getting heavy and soon enough fell asleep.

 

Sirius stared at Harry's sleeping form and smiled it been ages since he saw Harry in peace ever since Severus told him Harry had been acting weird avoiding eating or sunlight and specific things which made him worried a voice suddenly came “Is he finally resting?” Remus “Yeah he is…” he answered Remus smiled and said “Did he eat?” Sirius nodded which made Remus smile because Harry had not eaten for the past few days sometimes.

 

Meanwhile, Harry was in a dark place wasn't he supposed to be sleeping? Where was he? When a voice came “Ahh the little Vampire” He tensed, wondering who knew his secret where he was? “Who are you? Where am I? Answer me” the voice only laughed and said “You'll find out soon enough little vampire during the meantime you should focus on yourself than hiding who you are” the voice was given the darkness swallowing Harry, He tried to run but didn't work he gasped for air and woke up Sirius was immediately at his side calming him down “Hey hey it's just a nightmare pup your safe ok?” Remus immediately gave him water while Severus(Who arrived earlier) was at his side asked what's wrong, Harry only said he had a nightmare Severus didn't look convinced but didn't question him further and only kept a hand on his shoulder to steady him, Harry could see the worry in his father's eyes even if his face was neutral, Harry then said he needed fresh air and went to the balcony as soon as he came out his kind when back to that dream who was that voice how did it know he was a vampire and moreover called him “Little vampire” the voice was cold but not distant like it knew him somehow he brush that thought aside because it said “you should focus on yourself than hiding who you are” He was hiding it for a good reason but he also knew that he rarely took care of himself due to it forgetting he was still a person, was the voice worried? But why? Why would someone get worried about a monster? Was it worried because he was the Boy Who Lived but the voice clearly meant about him being a vampire not that stupid title he received, but how could he know he was a vampire he practically hid it no one suspected, except his family who were suspicious already but how did the voice know? Would he get their dreams from now on? Or is it just this one? But right now the voice was right he needed to focus on himself more from now on, while keeping it a secret because if he kept focusing on the problem he might get hurt.
