Part - Vampire at Hogwarts

Weasley Wedding

Riana's POV

It is time for Bill and Fleur's wedding. I got permission from the council to go. Thank god. I haven't head from anyone all summer so far. Downside of being neutral. I'm out of the loop. Aside from what the Daily Prophet reports. Like the disappearance of Professor Charity Burbage, the muggle studies teacher from Hogwarts. She disappeared not long after an article she had written supporting muggle-borns. Or the tribute article to Dumbledore by Elphias Doge.

I know Harry has been moved to a safe house. Along with his muggle relatives. I know the Order planned on doing that before his seventeenth birthday. I have no doubt he is at the Burrow. No way he'd miss Bill and Fleur's wedding. I wouldn't arrive until sunset with my uncle.

It's been made compulsory for all students in Britain to attend Hogwarts. Which means I have to go. Professor Snape is now Headmaster. I assured my uncle I'd be safe and keep Raquelle & Sean safe. The other day the Minister of Magic came to visit me. He had a gift for me from Dumbledore. Fawkes. I was surprised by it, but happily accepted Fawkes.

"You ready?" my uncle asks as he knocked on my door. I look at him and then at myself in the mirror. I am wearing a short silver sparkly dress, with silver heels, hair down and have a silver purse. Which has my wand inside. Along with a gift for Bill and Fleur.

"I am" I tell him. We link arms and he disapparates. We appear outside the protective wards around the Burrow. I get see the white marque set up. Lupin and Tonks appear. "What is my patronus?" I ask Remus.

"A vampire bat" he says with a smile. "What did James called my condition?" he asks.

"Furry little problem" I say and I am let in along with my uncle. We all head to the marque. Where speeches are being given. I grab a glass of juice. "Sorry I am late, but I wish Bill and Fleur a life time of happiness" I state after Fleur's dad gave his speech.

"Riana!" Hermione and Ginny cheer. They hug me and I hug them. I then go hug the happy couple. I give them my gift.

"It's not much, but I hope you like it" I tell them.

"Thank you" Fleur says.

"We're about to eat, grab a seat and join us" Bill tells me.

"We'd be delighted" my uncle says. We sit down and dinner begins. It was great. It was then time for Bill and Fleur's first dance as a married couple. The crowd applauds as Bill and Fleur go up and down and twirl. I clap along with them. When I spot George.

"George, what happened to your ear?" I ask him shocked.

"Snape, happened when we brought Harry here" he whispers.

"Where is he? I thought he'd be here" I state.

"He is over there" he says nodding to a table. When a young red haired man is talking to a pair of old people.

"Polyjuice potion" I say and he nods. "Where's Mad-eye?" I ask him.

"Dead" he says and I look at him shocked. "Long story, happened the same time as this" he says gesturing to his ear. Or where his ear used to be.

"I hate this" I grumble. "I hate being neutral and not knowing what's going on. Not being able to help my friends" I state.

"We understand why you can't and knowing that if you could help. You would, is more then enough" he assures me.

"Not for Ron, he doesn't understand" I tell him.

"Ron is a git" Fred says as he joins us. "Now this is a party, care to dance?" he asks me.

"Oh, why not" I say accepting his hand. He lead me onto the dance floor. Where others are already dancing.

"So you going back?" he asks me.

"Kind of have to because of the ministry" I state. "I'll take care of Ginny, the best I can" I tell him.

"Thanks" he says. Just then a lynx patronus enters the tent. "That's Kingsley's" Fred tells me.

"The Ministry has fallen. The Minister of Magic is dead. They are coming. They are coming. They are coming" Kingsley voice says and the patronus disappears. Everyone starts to disapparate.

My uncle appears at my side as the deatheaters arrive. "Time to go" he says grabbing my arm. Before I can do anything to help my friends. He disapparates, taking me with him.

"Uncle, why?" I demand.

"You know why" he tells me calmly. "We must remain neutral" he states.

"Screw that!" I snap. "Those are my friends, and they are under attack. They lost Dumbledore, Mad-eye and George lost his ear. We have to fight" I tell him.

"I understand your wish to fight, to help your friends. But we must be patient, the council will be having another meeting on the matter during the New Years Eve ball. Where you'll be able to speak as a Lady and a full member of the vampire community" he tells me. "But you need to also remember, that your mate is a deatheater, along with his parents" he reminds me.

"I haven't forgotten" I tell him. "And I plan on freeing Draco, his mother and my grandfather" I state. "Then we'll all help bring an end to you know who" I add.

"You're just like your father" he says with a soft smile. "He'd never stand by while those he cared about were in danger. He eve defied the council and joined Dumbledore during the first war" he states. I look at him surprised. "It's why I've worked you so hard, so that you can prove that you have our kinds best interest at heart, so that they will listen" he tells me.

"I won't let you down uncle" I assure him. "I promise" I say and he smiles. He then left, while I go get changed. Before sitting on my bed and start to read my new text books for the coming year.
