Carlisle gently tapped his young mate on the cheek. "Come on, love, it's time to get going to your first day at Forks High." He hated waking him, especially after suffering from such a horrible blood crash, but they were all going to be late if they they didn't get going right now. He was also needed back at the hospital.
"Do you think that maybe he should stay home today?" Esme asked in concern. After everything Harry had been through, she couldn't help but be extra mothering towards him.
"He'll be fine," Severus said, pocketing his wand after reading Potter's medical scan. "When I return this evening we will have to discuss him taking some blood to school with him for now on."
Carlisle helped his still groggy mate sit up. "I can't believe that none of us took into consideration how him doing more and using magic would drain his energy faster."
"Let's not forget vomiting my brains up from the portkey," Harry grimaced. "I don't think that I can take two more years of this."
"Always dramatic," Severus said flatly. "I will see if I can make an anti nausea potion that will be safe for you to take." Normally vampires couldn't ingest anything except for blood, but with a few tweaks he had been able to alter the formula of a few common potions and made them safe for them, such as the bloodlust potion.
Harry turned his big pleading eyes to his mate. "Do I really have to go to muggle school? Can't I just be homeschooled all day? Other kids do it, why can't I?"
Carlisle's heart clenched from the look his mate was giving him. "Just give it a try, love. If you really hate it then we will give full time homeschooling some serious thought. I just think that sitting around the house all day won't be healthy for you."
Harry wanted to beg and plead, but Draco was still in the room hovering nervously close to Severus. "Relax, Malfoy, no one here will eat you."
"You're a vampire, Potter," Draco said in disbelief.
"Realły!" Harry gasped. "That would explain why I just chugged a half a gallon of my mate's blood."
"Mate!" Draco squeaked.
Smirking, Harry was about to respond, but Severus interrupted him. "School, now!" he barked.
Pouting, Harry slid off his mate's lap. "Fine!" he said, sticking his bottom lip out. Giving Carlisle a kiss, he turned to Severus. "You don't have to be so mean, daddy Sev." Grinning, he ran from the room and hopped in Edward's waiting Volvo.
"Uncle Sev, what the hell is going on?" Draco demanded.
Still staring at where Harry had been standing, Severus gave his head a shake. What the hell was up with Harry calling him dad? "I take it you will be spending the day with me at my shop? I could use an extra hand if you're willing."
Still feeling lost and confused, Draco nodded his head. "How the hell did Potter become a vampire?"
Shaking his head, Severus walked to the door, ignoring Carlisle's and his mate's chuckles. "I will explain everything when we get to my shop."

Harry was anxiously bouncing his knee refusing to get out the car. "Come on, Edward, you can't tell me that you honestly want to go in there? Let just ditch and go spend the day goofing off."
"Not going to happen, Harry," Edward chuckled, getting out of his car. "In four hours Carlisle will be here to pick you up, it won't be that bad."
"Says the vampire that has been going to school for the last three hundred years. I haven't been to a muggle school since I was ten, they are going to think that I'm mentally challenged or something."
