Chapter 3 - Draco's Song

Draco had locked himself in his room. He was lying in bed, on is stomach, reading from a book he had taken from the Malfoy library. He sighed while brushing a few strands of platinum hair out of his eyes. 'Why did the lives of vampires have to be so complex.'

"Perhaps it has to do with the fact that very few humans that interview them live to tell about their experience." He answered out loud. Continuing to read the book and taking notes.

There are two primary types of vampires. The first type is borderline psychotic. Vampires of this type tend to treat blood as a narcotic. They feed endlessly without regard to their own safety. Most end up accidentally killing themselves by feeding too long and cannot find shelter fast enough before the sun comes up. In addition, these vampires tend to have a very increased power of strength and very limited power with telepathy, telekinesis, and flight.

The second type of vampires is incredibly smart and powerful. In addition to superhuman strength, sight and hearing, they also develop the ability to scan thoughts, move objects with the power of the mind, fly, and make objects spontaneously combust. As the vampire gets older these powers increase.

Sighing again, Draco flips to a different chapter and continued to take notes.

The only way to destroy a vampire is to expose them to the sun or cremate them. You can also kill a vampire by causing so much damage that they bleed to death, but since wounds heal rapidly on a vampire, it is hard to inflict enough damage for this to occur.

Commonly held myths about vampire are as follows:

1. Garlic wards off vampires - Vampires are not allergic to garlic, but garlic is a strong agent that could help mask your human scent, although this has not been proven.
2. Crosses will keep a vampire at bay - most vampires enjoy the subtle and simple design of the cross for decoration.
3. A wooden stake or other such implement through the heart will kill a vampire - While this will cause the vampire pain, it will not kill it, but it may buy you some escape time.
4. Vampires are allergic to silver - Vampires usually prefer silver to other types of metal due to the magical properties of silver.
5. Vampires cannot be wizards - Although very rare, there has been at least one reported case of a vampire wizard - he happens to be 4000 years old and is writing this text.

Draco was tired, he has been at this for nearly six hours. His interest in vampires started at the end of 5^th year after the 5^th years did a unit on vampires in their Defense against the Dark Arts class. He wanted to learn all he could because he wanted to become a vampire. To live forever in his beautiful body, to never grow old, to have superhuman powers appealed to Draco more than any other powers that either good or dark magic could provide. To Draco, being a vampire would be the ultimate power trip. Of course getting a vampire to allow him to drink the cursed blood sounded easy, but he knew that no one willingly walks up to a vampire and expects to live.

He stripped off his dark red T-shirt exposing his milky, smooth chest. He ran his left hand down his chest and circled his fingers over his navel. His right hand pulled off is loose fitting pants. He turned his head over his shoulder admiring his body. It was lean, not muscular but fit. He couldn't understand that at almost 16, why hasn't anyone expressed interest in him. He was positively beautiful in every physical way. Sure, he was arrogant, vain, and sometimes a real prick, but not even the extremely shallow had expressed interest in having sex with him. He allowed his hands to fall further down, and he proceeded to gently stroke his aching member. Perhaps one day someone will want to love him. Perhaps that was it. Perhaps he gave off signals that he was untouchable. He didn't want to be just touched, he wanted to be loved. So far in his life, he never experienced someone that had loved in that special, non parent way. He yearned to have someone love him. He knew that under his tough, non feeling exterior that he was capable to love someone. He was jealous of people like Potter, Granger, and Weasley. People loved them, and he desperately wanted that.

After he came, he slipped on his silk pajamas and cried himself to sleep. In his dreams, he dreamt that he had found love. A dark, mysterious person who wanted to love him and give him what he always wanted.
