HEADMASTER'S OFFICE, HOGWARTS

While Professor McGonagall walked out of the Office to fetch the volunteers, (Y/N) suddenly clutched his chest while wincing in pain again feeling his blood thirst flare up, Dumbledore, Snape and Melinda looked at him in concern.

"It would seem his condition is far more dire than we had thought... we must act quickly" Snape said as he approached (Y/N), and brought him to a chair, sitting him down as he was sweating and shaking slightly.

"I know what to do, hold on" Melinda said as she quickly walked over, rolling up the sleeve of her white coat to her elbow and offering him her wrist, (Y/N) looked at her wrist before looking up to her face, locking eyes with her.

"Go on, you can have some of my Blood" Melinda said as she held out her wrist for him, giving him a smile to show that she was okay with him feeding from her, (Y/N) nodded to her and took hold of her wrist before he opened his mouth and his elongated fangs extended, and he bit down on her wrist.

Melinda let out a hiss as she felt his teeth sink into her wrist, (Y/N) then started to suck on the opened veins in Melinda's wrist, feeling the Woman's warm life-blood flow down his throat with each swallow, the taste was much different than the blood of the Maids back at the Castle.

The Blood of the Maids and others were usually tinged with fear and despair, but Melinda's blood tasted of... slight fear, with some, exhilaration?

(Hm? She's excited from this?) (Y/N) thought to himself as he kept drinking, while Melinda did her best to stay composed while she felt him greedily drinking from her vein, Melinda started to feel a little light headed and both Snape and Dumbledore noticed.

"Mr. Dimitrescu! I believe you have taken enough, Miss Gordon is looking rather faint" Dumbledore said, (Y/N) looked up to her and Melinda looked quite pale, and she seemed to be trying her best to stay standing up and keeping her eyes open, he wanted more, but... he didn't want to kill her after she had done so much to help him.

(Y/N) removed his mouth from her wrist, with some blood still flowing from the wound, he quickly held the wound to try and staunch the flow of blood from the bite, he quickly realised that she had lost quite a bit of blood, and he had to help her before she passed out.

"I apologise, Lady Gordon, for drinking so much..." (Y/N) said to the Brunette as he used a handkerchief to clear the blood away from his lips, and he stood up, sitting the Woman down in the chair so he could tend to her.

"It's okay, I-I better have this bandaged" Melinda said, her voice tired and she looked very worn down, she would likely not make it to the Medical Wing without collapsing.

"Actually, I can fix it, if you'll allow me to?" (Y/N) said to her as he used one hand to press his handkerchief to the bite, and the other hand to dig through his school bag, while Professor Snape and Dumbledore watched this interaction closely, Dumbledore smiling slightly that he was showing concern and helping Melinda.

"S-Sorry, I don't really want to drink your blood, it's nice of you but..." Melinda said hesitantly as she covered her eyes, trying to stop the room from spinning as she felt light headed.

"Oh, no, I was just going to use this" (Y/N) said as he rummaged through his bag, and then pulled out a small, Green coloured Glass Bottle, with a cap in the top, and a label stuck to it.

"What is that? Some form of Healing Potion?" Snape asked curiously as his cold, dark eyes looked at the bottle with interest, wondering what this brew could do to help Miss Gordon.

"More along the lines of a Healing Salve, I keep one or two in case of emergencies, may I?" (Y/N) said to the Potion's Master, before he looked to Melinda, she looked at him and nodded her head before she went to take the bottle, before he stopped her and instead carefully removed the handkerchief, exposing the still bleeding wound.

"What are you doing? Am I not supposed to drink it?" Melinda asked, sounding confused as (Y/N) quickly removed the cap on the bottle, and took hold of her hand on her hurt arm.

"No, here, allow me to show you" (Y/N) said as he held her arm gently and then he poured the contents out onto the bite on Melinda's wrist, Melinda let out a light gasp as the liquid splashed onto her arm and over the wound, washing away the blood and disinfecting the wound then, to the surprise of Melinda, Dumbledore and Snape, they saw the injury rapidly healing, until not even a scar was left.

"There we go... all good as new" (Y/N) said with a small smile as he checked Melinda's wrist, pleased that her skin had healed good as new, before he released her wrist and stood up, allowing Professor Snape to come over and inspect her wrist as well, Dumbledore staying silent the whole time.

"Fascinating... a rather fast acting solution, how exactly did you create such a Salve?" Snape asked as he glanced toward (Y/N), who was stood back now and was holding the bloody handkerchief, wondering what he should do with the bloodstained fabric.

"Well... I didn't create it, I'm simply one of the many people from my Village who knows how to create it, we do so by combining the leaves of certain Green Herbs that grow in the Village, with a Chemical Fluid that is brewed there, the Leaves are simply crushed up and mixed with the Chem Fluid, and it creates this solution which can close gashes and act as a clotting agent while also restoring the function to damaged systems" (Y/N) explained to him as Dumbledore stood up from his desk, and walked around to check on Melinda as well.

"Severus, I believe it would be in Miss Gordon's Best interest if she were given a Blood-Replenishing Potion, to replace what she has given to young Dimitrescu" Dumbledore said to him in a calm voice, as he looked at Snape, who nodded to him before he reached into his Black Robes and took out a small clear-glass bottle, full of Dark, Blood-Red fluid with a white cross and a cork on it, Snape uncorked the bottle and handed it to Melinda, who drank some of the Potion before she handed it back to Snape.

"Thank you, Professor" Melinda said as she smiled at Snape, who maintained his cold and near-emotionless look, and simply nodded to the Woman.

"And thank you as well, (Y/N), that was very kind of you" Melinda said as she turned to (Y/N) and gave him a reassuring smile to show that she was alright, she then stood up and walked to him, before she took his handkerchief and drew out her own wand.

"Scourgify!" Melinda said as she pointed her Wand to the handkerchief and cast her Spell, and suddenly the Crimson stains seemed to vanish from the now white cloth, that Melinda folded and handed back to the young man.

"I need to learn that Spell, it seems very useful" (Y/N) said as he took the handkerchief back and tucked it away in his robes.

"You certainly drank quite a bit, you must have been quite thirsty, young Dimitrescu" Dumbledore said as he stood by the chair that Melinda previously occupied.

"Yes... I apologise, Miss Gordon, I... couldn't help myself, your blood was quite delicious" (Y/N) said to the Woman in White, who smiled back to him, showing she wasn't scared of him now.

"It's alright, thank you for healing my injury so well" Melinda replied as she rolled her sleeve back down, they then waited, the two Hogwarts staff and Melinda asking him about the First Aid Med that he used, curious about these Herbs that only seemed to grown around the Village, until soon enough Professor McGonagall returned, with five girls in tow behind her, two of them that (Y/N) recognised from the Great Hall.

"Ah, girls, I'm pleased you have arrived, I'm sure you are curious as to what it was you had signed yourself up to, I will tell you that it involves (Y/N) Dimitrescu here" Dumbledore said to the four girls, who looked toward (Y/N) and wondered what they could be here for that involves him.

"Oh wow, he's a lot taller up close..." said the short girl, as she looked up at him with some wonder and intrigue, while the blonde Gryffindor's cheeks turned pink as she fidgeted slightly.

"Hm, the Half-Blood Slytherin" said a girl with long dark hair, who was wearing Slytherin Robes, and next to her was another Ravenclaw who had blonde hair, and the last one was a Gryffindor with fiery red hair.

"Oh wow, he really is tall, you weren't kidding!" the Red head said as she looked at (Y/N) in surprise.

"Professor Dumbledore, is he a Half-Giant? Is that why he's so tall?" the short girl asked him, as her eyes went from the Headmaster to the tall young man, this caused Dumbledore to smile as his eyes twinkled.

"Such boundless curiosity, before we get to the details, I believe introductions are in order?" Dumbledore said as he walked back to his desk and sat himself down on the seat, with Snape observing quietly, and McGonagall stood off to the side watching with her usual stern expression, (Y/N) took that as his cue to speak.

"Greetings, I am (Y/N) Dimitrescu, I hail from Romania and I come from the noble Dimitrescu Family" (Y/N) said as he gave the four girls a polite bow as he introduced himself, before he stood up straight and the girls were a bit surprised that (Y/N) was nobility.

"Hello there, I'm Melinda Gordon, I work for the Ministry of Magic's Beings Division, and I am here to find ways to help (Y/N) adjust to life here in Hogwarts" Melinda said with a friendly smile that showed her pearly white teeth.

"Oh, well then, I suppose I'll go first, hello! I'm Clara, Clara Oswald" said the short girl wearing Ravenclaw Robes and tie, as she smiled at the taller young man and smiled, half happy and half awkward, she spoke with a natural Blackpool accent as well.

"Rose Tyler... hello" said the Blonde haired Gryffindor girl with whitened teeth and dark mascara around her eyes, she had a cockney accent, her cheeks had gone pink and she seemed a little out of it.

"Amy Pond, don't think just because your so tall I'm afraid of you" said the Red haired Gryffindor in a Scottish accent, she also made sure to keep her eye contact with him, she seemed to be quite brave, or foolhardy, but it did make (Y/N) chuckle a little.

"Penelope Clearwater" said the Blonde haired Ravenclaw girl, who seemed a bit intimidated by his height and spoke with an average English accent.

"Abigail Saltstone, I've heard a bit about you, mostly from Malfoy" said the Slytherin girl, her bright blue eyes locked with (Y/N)'s Honey-Gold orbs, she seemed curious about him and spoke with a British accent.

"Ugh... that little coward, his opinions mean nothing to me, especially when delivered in such a rude way" (Y/N) replied to the girl, who nodded back to him in agreement before they all turned their attention back to Dumbledore.

"Now, allow me to explain the details, you five are here to volunteer yourselves to help with Mr. Dimitrescu, you see girls... (Y/N) Dimitrescu isn't a normal Wizard, he is a rare exception to a long established law" Dumbledore said, the Girls then looked over to him curiously, wondering what exactly they were volunteering to do.

"Um... Headmaster, is this for an arranged marriage or something?" Rose asked Dumbledore as she looked at (Y/N) with some pink on her cheeks, and a slightly awkward smile on her face.

"I can't be put in an arranged marriage! I'm already dating Rory!" Amy exclaimed suddenly, as she looked between (Y/N) and Melinda and Dumbledore and the other two Professors.

(I don't think I'd be a good match with how tall he is...) Clara thought to herself as she looked him up and down, blushing as certain thoughts went through her head, which she quickly shook out.

"Miss Pond, we can assure you this is not an arranged marriage, if it were your parents would be here as well" McGonagall said to Amy and the other four girls, who seemed relieved and also a little disappointed?

"You see... (Y/N) here is a Vampire" Melinda said to the girls, who all suddenly looked very surprised and some also seemed scared from that new revelation.

"A Vampire? As in... a blood sucking, hates Garlic and sunlight, weakness to Vervain type of Vampire?!" Clara asked Melinda with a nervous smile as her eyes flicked between (Y/N) and Melinda.

"Yes, you see, (Y/N) is unique among Vampires in that he is able to use Magic, much like the other students who attend this school" Dumbledore said, his words catching the attention of the five Witches.

"What? But that's not possible... I thought it was always impossible for Vampires to be able to use Magic?" Abigail asked Dumbledore while also seeming very surprised, as her Blue eyes went to (Y/N) with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Yes, but it would seem that somehow... (Y/N) Dimitrescu is the exception to that long time concept, somehow he is able to use Magic despite being a Vampire, as such he was given the chance to attend Hogwarts and learn how to use and control his powers" Dumbledore explained to the Girls, who all understood what Dumbledore meant, it wouldn't do to have someone as dangerous as a Vampire with uncontrolled Magic as well.

"And that brings us to why you were asked to come here, you see girls, as a Vampire, (Y/N) requires fresh blood daily, originally the Department of Beings and the S.T.V planned to supply Blood for him to satisfy himself with... but complications have made it impossible to do, as such, we decided to try something different" Dumbledore continued his explanation, speaking calmly and with care, when suddenly Penelope seemed to realise what he was going to ask of them.

"Wait... that's what we're volunteering for, isn't it? To let him drink our blood!" Penelope said in realisation, this also made the other girls get very nervous and go wide eyed at the idea of them being offered up as a food source to a Vampire.

"Yes, Miss Clearwater, however... I want to remind you, this is entirely voluntary, and will be under the strict supervision of a Professor, but, of course I must also ask you to keep (Y/N)'s true nature a secret, at least for now... we do not wish for there to be unnecessary complications during his time here, if you still feel uncomfortable with helping Mr. Dimitrescu, or giving him your blood then you are allowed to leave" Dumbledore said to the five girls, Clara seemed to be trying to choose her words properly, Rose seemed nervous and also a bit... excited? Amy looked like she was conflicted as she looked at (Y/N), Penelope also looked conflicted about this, while Abigail looked interested in participating in this arrangement.

"I wouldn't mind helping out a fellow Slytherin" Abigail said as she stepped forward and looked to (Y/N) with a smile on her lips, then suddenly Rose stepped forward as well!

"Rose! What are you doing?" Amy asked in surprise as her fellow Gryffindor stepped forward, looking at her fellow House mate with surprise.

"What? He needs help and I'm willing to help him if he needs it" Rose said to Amy as she turned to look at her fellow Gryffindor and crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Amy with a raised brow.

"But he's a bloody Slytherin! And a Vampire, what if he kills you, or turns you?!" Amy asked Rose, looking at (Y/N) with blatant distrust in her Green-Brown eyes, (Y/N) simply maintained eye contact with her, showing that he wasn't intimidated by her.

"I can assure you, Miss Pond... that won't happen, as the Headmaster already stated these feedings will be done under direct supervision, perhaps you should clear out your ears and pay more attention" Snape said to the red head, making Amy look embarrassed from the subtle scolding he had given to her.

"See? The Professors will be there, so we'll be safe" Rose said to her with a pointed look, then Clara stepped forward too.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt, as long as we'll be safe and... he doesn't hurt us too much" Clara said as she walked over and stood next to Rose, looking at Amy pointedly, Abigail also looked at Amy, making the Scot feel awkward.

"Ugh... fine, but only so I know you won't hurt or try to turn Rose!" Amy said in annoyance as she pointed her finger at (Y/N), who rolled his eyes and smirked at the fiery Red-head.

"I suppose it will be fine, as long as it won't interfere too much with my responsibilities as a Prefect..." Penelope said, sounding a little bit hesitant but also adamant about doing this and maintaining her responsibilities as a Prefect for Ravenclaw House.

"Thank you all for your help, it's very kind of you to help (Y/N) like this" Melinda said as she gave the five girls from different Houses a grateful smile.

"We shall start to draw up a rota, the girls will be rotated out regularly as will the Professor that will be there to supervise, we shall also provide Blood-Restoring Potions and medical care if required" Professor McGonagall said to the girls to reassure them that their health would also be a priority.

"Thank you, girls, you may return to your Houses if you wish to, we have some details to discuss with Miss Gordon, (Y/N), and members of Staff" Dumbledore said to the girls, who left the Office one-by-one, to return to their Houses and leaving the others to discuss some new details for this arrangement.

"Those girls looked quite nervous, young Dimitrescu, I do hope you will show restraint in your feedings" McGonagall said as she gave (Y/N) a stern look, that reminded (Y/N) of his Mother when she was angry with him or his Sisters.

"I'm certain Mr. Dimitrescu can control himself, after all he did try his best for these past few days, and if he has trouble with controlling himself there will be a Professor there too, such as you, Professor Snape or one of the others" Dumbledore said as he looked to the Female Professor, who sighed and nodded to the much older Wizard.

"I suppose... but, what about healing those girls? Especially depending on where he bites, if he bites on the wrist or the neck they might..." McGonagall said, sounding a bit hesitant to finish her sentence, as a look of protectiveness and worry flashed over her eyes.

"I believe that young Dimitrescu's Healing Salve will also be of great help?" Professor Snape added in, catching McGonagall's interest as well, though she would likely ask about that later on, however (Y/N) then cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Professor, I will need to get some Herbs and Chem Fluid from the Village if I am to make more of those Salves, and the people in the Village won't just hand them over to outsiders, they are a bit... insular, and untrusting to others" (Y/N) said to them all, they then went silent for a few seconds.

"Young Dimitrescu... having those ingredients here at Hogwarts may be of more convenience? Especially for making those Healing Salves for the girls after your feedings, would there be a way to get a supply of those Herbs and the Chem Fluid?" Dumbledore said as he looked the young man in the eyes, (Y/N) placed his hand on his chin and hummed to himself as he slowly paced the room, while Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape and Melinda watched him

"It's not as simple I'm afraid, you see, the people who live in the Village are rather untrusting of outsiders" (Y/N) explained to them while he was looking at a rather old looking Bird that was perched close to Dumbldore's desk, it had Crimson feathers covering most of it's body and golden tail feathers as long as a Peacock's, it's claws and beak were gleaming gold and it's eyes were black.

"I see you've taken an interest in Fawkes, he is a Phoenix, a rather magnificent Creature wouldn't you say?" Dumbledore asked the young man as he looked at the magical Bird with interest.

"Indeed, it's too bad he seems so aged, I imagine he must have looked rather amazing in his youth... but I am getting off topic, my point is, that it is dangerous in the Village for anyone to simply wander around, the Lords do not take trespass on their lands lightly, and there are also the Lycans that prowl the forest and wilderness, but..." (Y/N) said as he was in thought.

"I'm sorry, Lycans? You have Werewolves living around your Village?" McGonagall asked him with some alarm in her voice, this also made Snape and Dumbledore worry too, thinking they might be linked to the infamous Werewolf criminal, Fenrir Greyback.

"No, I know of Werewolves and these are different Beasts born from different means that will remain classified, they occasionally raid the Village to kill livestock, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't hunt and eat a person if they had the chance to" (Y/N) said as he still seemed to be in thought, until he snapped his fingers and had a look on his face as though he had a solution.

"Headmaster, do you have a parchment and Quill I might use? I may have the solution to getting what I require" (Y/N) said as he approached Dumbledore's desk, said old man smiled before he handed him what he requested, (Y/N) then leaned down and started to pen a letter to the one person he knew he could trust to bring him what he needed, he write the letter carefully, before he signed his name and then offered it to Dumbledore.

"I will also need you to sign it, Headmaster, as permission" (Y/N) said, now Melinda, McGonagall and even Snape were quite curious about what the letter could be about, Dumbledore gave it a once over.

"I must say... your handwriting is quite impeccable, Mr. Dimitrescu" Dumbledore said to the young man, as he added a small note of his own at the bottom of the letter.

"Thank you, my Mother had me practise my penmanship with all due diligence" (Y/N) replied to the Headmaster, who then signed his signature on the letter along with (Y/N)'s, before he carefully folded the letter and placed it in an envelope, which he sealed and placed the signet of Hogwarts on the envelope.

"You may use one of the Owls in the Owlery to deliver this letter to where you need it to go" Dumbledore said to (Y/N), who raised his brow at the older man with some confusion.

"You use Owls to deliver mail?" (Y/N) asked him in confusion, wondering why they didn't use Crows or Ravens, maybe the Owls were magical?

"Yes, we do, now you had best hurry along now, I'm certain you will want to send that letter as soon as possible, my boy" Dumbledore said, (Y/N) nodded and speed-walked out of the office and back down the steps, he walked out into the hallway and hurried his way to the Owlery to send this Letter off and with some hope, get what he would need to make his time at Hogwarts a bit easier.
