"This is all the footage we found of the boy you are looking for." the American Auror said as he pushed the play button. "I'm sorry, but it's not much."
"Appreciated," Severus answered as the Auror left the room.
Severus and Bill stared at the tv watching as Harry entered, well more like stumbled, into the small airport convenient store.
"He looks horrible," Bill gasped. "That's just from the cancer?" Like most pureblood wizards, he didn't know much about cancer since they couldn't get it.
"Cancer is a horrible disease, Mr Weasley, and his is very advanced and throughout his body. If is wasn't for his stubbornness, he would have been dead by now."
"Harry is so powerful, more so than even Dumbledore, you would think that his magic would have destroyed the cancer." Bill said.
"He probably would have been able to beat it if it wasn't for Bellatrix's curse. Whatever the crazy psychotic bitch hit Potter with sped up the growth of the cancer faster than what his magic could fight."
"Look there," Bill said pointing to the tv. "Call me stupid, but those two are not human."
"Dammit," Severus cursed. "You are correct, Mr Weasley, they are vampires. Leave it to Potter to find vampires in a muggle airport."
Bill leaned in closer to the tv. "Vampires, but I thought that vampires had red eyes."
Severus pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "Really, I must talk with Albus about hiring a competent defense teacher. Mr Weasley, as I hope you are aware of, there different types of vampires in this great big world," he said sarcastically. "First you have your born vampires that don't come into their inheritance until their sixteenth birthday. A muggle cannot be a born vampire, only those of magical blood. These vampires need blood to survive, but they can also eat normal human food. If bitten by one of these vampires you would become a vampire yourself, unless they hold back their venom. A born vampire can control their venom so if they wanted to they could bite only to feed from you, or bite with the intention injecting you with their venom turning you into one of them. A bitten vampire will retain their magic, but they will not be venomous themselves. Like a born vampire they will be immortal and have a predestined mate."
"Next we have your muggle vampires," Severus continued. "No one is entirely certain how these vampires came about, but they are incredibly strong, more so than magical vampires. While magical vampires are fast and strong, muggle vampires are faster and stronger. Their skin is incredibly tough, almost impossible to break and they are immune to almost all spells and potions making them damn near impossible for us to kill. Unlike magical vampires, they survive solely on blood and their bite is always venomous. They are sensitive to the sun, but can walk amongst the muggles if the clouds are blocking the sun. Because of their diet only consisting of blood, their eyes are red unless they are hungry then they turn pitch black. Some muggle vampires develop special gifts after their turning such as mind manipulation or control over the elements. They too also have a predestined mate.
"Wow," Bill said wide eyed. "I knew about born and turned vampires, but I didn't know about muggle vampires. How do you know so much about vampires?"
Severus looked Bill dead in eye. "I was bitten shortly after becoming a Death Eater. The Dark Lord said that my skills were to valuable to risk losing, so he had me bitten."
"I...I didn't know. That's... That's..." Bill stuttered, too shocked to be able to form a complete sentence.
"Well, now I see where Ronald gets his extensive vocabulary from. Mr Weasley, while I did not ask to become a vampire I have learned to live with it. I am not a danger to you or to any student that comes through my classroom."
