Vamps

Nobody knew where the vampires came from. They weren't genetic as far as anyone could tell, popping up randomly in bloodlines without any rhyme or reason.

But with a mere .5% of people affected, the ministry was able to keep an iron hold on its vampiric population. They were able to control access to blood, access to pretty much everything, labeling each individual's ID with a V that could never be mistaken for anything else.

Regulus Black had been diagnosed with vampirism when he was nine months old.

His entire life it's followed him like a crimson cloud, classmates hateful comments, being unable to be in the sun, the clinical blood transfusions three times a week just to keep him alive. It wasn't great, but it was his normal.

So when Evan Rosier, a transfer student, introduces himself to Regulus as a proud vampire and invites him to be his friend, it feels more alien than those books Barty always talked about.
But as the two grow closer, and a new anti-vampire group rises to power, Regulus is forced to consider who the real monsters are.
