Drip

The constant sound of condensation was the only sound that filled the dark dungeon in the basement of the Selwyn estate mansion. The repetitive dripping sound used to aggravate me, but now it's calming. It reminds me that I'm not alone. I'm not losing my mind or dead. Not great, but it's all I have.

My faded green nightgown does little to stop the cold. Don't get me wrong, I'm used to the cold dampness of a dungeon, having been a Slytherin in my 7 years at Hogwarts. But at least in Hogwarts I had a bed and clothes better than the scraps I'm wearing now.

I rub my dry throat, the belted choker tightly binding me to the wall causing some chafing on my neck. Long dried blood stains my face as I peel it off, leaving red patches on my skin.

As I curl up for some sort of warmth, I can't help but reminisce about how I got here.

Once my mother died and I got turned, my father got cold and mean. We kept my vampirism a secret, but who can keep a secret from the great Albus Dumbledore. He knew and was the only one open to letting me join his school. So there I went to Hogwarts with a couple rules.

1) be sorted into Slytherin.

2) don't draw attention to yourself.

3) keep your vampirism a secret.

4)don't drink blood from anyone from the school or Hogsmeade Village.

5)stay away from mudbloods and blood traitors.

6)be the best.

And so I did. I was sorted into Slytherin, wore contacts to turn my red eyes blue, was one of the best in my year, and no one ever found out about my vampirism.

There were a few times when it got close to being found out. Once was by my dorm mate Merula Snyde. Another was by Charlie Weasley.

I also don't really see the difference between purebloods, halfbloods and muggleborns. There's no difference, except from your family and how you were raised. Apart from that, there is mo difference. My father tried to make me hate them and see them as lesser, but I just couldn't.

I was also victim to the Cursed Vaults in my 4th year with the Sleepwalking Curse. I was woken up near the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The Cursed Vaults seemed to be happening the same years I was at Hogwarts.

Oddly the last time something like that happened was when some kid named Jacob messed with them and went missing. Jacob's younger sibling was also in my year. Maybe that was the reason.

Anyway, I didn't make any friends, staying to myself. I even pushed off the very popular Nymphadora Tonks.

She was a Hufflepuff in my year and a metaphorphmagus. Her mother is Andromeda Tonks, nee Black, and her father is Ted Tonks, a muggleborn. She kept trying to get to know me, but I pushed her away. I never looked anyone in the eyes, except the professors. I didn't want to find my mate and then be forced to leave them.

I read about it in the library. A vampire wrote about their experience in their journal, a long time ago. They said that when you're born, you have a soulmate, but only creatures, like werewolves and vampires can find their mates. It happens when the two people make eye contact. To avoid finding my mate, since I was already in an arranged marriage since birth, I never looked another student in the eyes.
