List of Honoured Guests Dante Silvasi Beryx Silvasi Anton LeBlanc The house was lit with a remarkable about of torches and a party filled the halls of the house. Victoria sat in her study reading, trying to drain out the orchestra's music by closing the door. She was in her dress for the night and she was hating it. Her father had gone all out and made her look like a stupid princess in her large black dress. She sat on the couch, removed the hoop skirt under it and made it flatter and smaller. She tossed the hoop skirt aside, when she heard a knock at the door. Book in hand, She made her way to the door and opened it to find her father there. He gave her a look and she dropped the book on the table next to the door. "It is expected that my only daughter attend." "I am sorry father. It was the music. I am afraid that I havequite the pain in my head from it," she slipped out of her room and closed the door behind her, after making sure that her dress was out of the doorway. "Who am I expected to meet tonight, father? Is it just your usual powerful friends?" she teased him a little, still standing by the door. He turned and head towards the stairs. "I would imagine you would find your lover here soon. And your new trainee," he stated, not turning to face her as he began to descend the stair. Victoria's jaw dropped. "I am uncertain when that will be, but I would rather you be there." She sighed lightly and walked over to the edge of the stair and was about to speak, but then stopped and lowered her hand to her side. But when she looked up, her father was standing there next to her. "Come now, my child. Do you honestly think I will disapprove? You have finally fallen in love with one of our own kind. And this... Beryx, is it?" She nodded. "Is part of our kin now. I would expect him to be nothing less than a Harker by now." With that, he walked down the stair. She watched him mingle for a moment and then walked down the stair and to the front door. She nodded to the guards and sat on the couch next to the door. She clasped a glass of wine as soon as she was offered one and sipped at it, complimenting the waiter, as was expected. He nodded and left and she stared at the door, waiting and hoping that they would be there soon...

This was turning out to be an interesting night to say the least. Pretty much as soon as he awoke, a formalized, sealed envelope was sitting on the table, ready to be opened. Picking it up, a brow rose with curiosity as he saw the crest of the Harker family on the front..I wonder what they want he thought to himself as he opened it. As soon as he read it a slight smirk crossed his face. It was an invitation to Victoria's father's house. Apparently he wanted to meet the knew addition and her new ruggedly handsome lover. Putting the note in the fire, he quickly changed into decent, but not to formal attire and then left to get Beryx.
Little did he know that once he would get there, Dante would find his cousin had made his own fledgling. He had caught them both in the grounds, way past curfew, likely heading off to hunt. As soon as he found out the truth, the elder vampire had to laugh. Somehow his cousin had bitten his enemy and changed the kid and now they had to deal with each other. He was so entertained by this it took a minute to compose himself and tell them of the summons...
A hour or so had passed since then and now they stood at the main entrance to a large manor. Torches along the house were brightly lit and music could be heard just inside..Wanting to make a good impression, Dante walked up to the door and knocked, waiting to be let in as he watched his two charges with the look of pride and dark mischief in his eyes..
********************************************************************
When Dante wanted to know something, he usually got an answer. This time hadn't been any different. Beryx was caught on the grounds with Anton and after an exchange of denials and demands, he was forced to confess the truth. He knew that his actions wouldn't go unpunished, but wasn't punishment enough to have to be linked to one of the people he had disliked with a passion? Before he could refuse though, Dante had grabbed both of them saying it would be a field trip of sorts. He had no idea that it meant to the Harker Manor. As soon as he saw the house, the feeling of dread and shame filled his heart. If what he knew was right..he was sure she was there and if so..He was in deep water..

Anton sat quietly outside, watching as the snowflakes fell to the ground, adding to the depth. He had been out there for a while, just thinking about random things that in all reality, needed to be thought about. Like, for instance, what he was going to tell his dad, or even more importantly, the rest of his family. Would they still love him the same? His mother would, most definitely, but his father, probably not so much. It was sad to look at it that way, so Anton allowed other things back into his mind. Dom. Things with her had been worked out and their relationship had been repaired. The two were very happy together, and with them always being together, Anton was gaining more control over himself, and this thirst of course. Before he even realized it, so had started to collect on his cool skin, all as a result of him sitting so still. Statuesque. He stood slowly when he heard Beryx's thoughts. He seemed to be worried about something and soon enough, they were together, along with his cousin Dante. His cousin stated that they were all to be going on a field trip of sorts, and they started off.
By now, Anton was absolutely sure that Dante knew about him. After all, you couldn't hide forever from the truth. Now that he knew, Anton kept his guard raised at all times, careful to watch his back when he was by himself, and to watch Dom's when they were together. There was no way she was getting hurt when she was with him. And the way Dante looked, and by what little beryx had said about him, no trust was going to be shared between them.
Soon they were all standing out in front of a mansion. Beryx's emotions had taken a turn for the worst, leaving Anton at the conclusion that he was the only one who didn't know where they were. He would find out shortly, so what was the hurry? No need to stress about the unknown. Tonight was going to be... Interesting.

Victoria looked over the large group in the room. Some were humans, others were vampires. And the strange thing is that the humans had no idea that they were surrounded by fifty vampires. She sighed and looked as some of the wizards (whom knew what they were) smiled at her and one of them had the audacity to wink. She rolled her eyes and looked back to the door. When a knock was heard, her father appeared by her and he nodded. She opened the door, pushing her black mask onto her hair that was up in a very decorative bun with curls. Her father slipped out behind her and closed the door. Victoria looked at the tw- three? She raised a brow and then her eyes fell on Dante. He was looking rather handsome, considering that he had no idea there was a party going on. She looked at Beryx and smiled at him, and then her smiled faded as her eyes fell on the third person.
"Well. You must be Dante." Her father had his hands behind his back and was walking around Dante, as if inspecting him. Then he turned to Beryx and placed both his hands on the boy's shoulders. "Welcome to the kin. Consider my home, yours." He smiled and then looked at the third. Two marks were distinct on the boy's neck and he backed away, whispering in Latin to Victoria. She looked up and gasped.
"Dante... did you do this to him?" she asked him, descending one stair. And then she recognized the boy, and she was sure he recognized her as well. "The Headmaster's son!?"

Dante didn't have to wait long and in mere minutes the door was open to reveal his gorgeous lover in the most enchanting gown he had seen in ages. If her father hadn't followed he would have just stared with a dirty grin on his face. Instead his attention turned to the older vampire inspecting him, "And you must be her father...Este o onoare.." He answered coolly, without any spec of fear. Though as soon as he moved to the twerps his eyes returned to Victoria with a hidden passion. That was until the moment was broken once again in shock as her father saw the bite mark on Anton's neck.
What happened next only made the young vampire laugh as she accused him of doing such a thing. Didn't she already know he was too self absorbed to take on a fledgling? In his opinion, Beryx was more than enough work to suit him. There was no need to have a whole clanful of newborns. Offering his hand as she descended the stair, he answered, smirking, "It wasn't me Draga. Guess again.." He paused a minute and then nodded, slightly motioning toward his younger cousin, "In weeks he created one of his own.."
***********************************************************************
Beryx could sense Anton's confusion as they waited, but it didn't take long for the answer to arrive. He was in so much trouble and it was just a matter of time. Though surprisingly, the first greeting he got was that of welcome instead of scorn or anger. They must not know yet, so perhaps he had a ch-. Well had was the word to emphasize here. As soon as he was thinking that, who he assumed was the potion teacher's father, the older vampire saw the mark and backed away. The next thing he knew, Victoria was questioning Dante and just like his cousin, the bastard served the truth on a silver platter. Perhaps not in full detail, but just as always leaving him to finish. It was then, as they were distracted, the 5th year attempted to sneak away...

The moment Anton saw light come through the open door, he wanted to run off. He knew by the lack of heartbeats in the room compared to people that he was walking into a trick where he would most likely be punished for being one of them without approval. Wait, did he need approval from a bunch of vampires? What if he didn't want to be a part of their clan. Tonight was going to be full of choices. Anton just hoped that he made the right ones.
As he stood there, intimidation was a big factor. Everyone seemed to know the boys, apparently since they were young. He knew instantly that this was the control freak family that he told Anton about when they were in the forest. Oops, maybe he should keep his thoughts to himself. If anyone could hear them, it would be beryx and he wanted to stay on his good side, at least until the end of the night. Then he heard Victoria's exclamation. Oh this was not going to be good at all. Maybe he should just turn and head back to the castle. Or not, that might be even worse. For now he would sit tight.
Anton waited for the greetings to get over with, and remained silent. Dante was soon ratting out his cousin, what a dick. Even if Beryx had turned someone, there was no reason to point it out in that manner. It was so bad, and then Beryx was attempting to sneak away. Anton quickly grabbed his upper arm in a tight grip, then turned him back around. He whispered silently. "You're not leaving me here with them. Man up." He was slightly disappointed in him. He had actually turned someone, got called out and then he wanted to run off. He needed to take credit and the punishment that he was sure would follow. And Anton planned on doing the same, if there was going to be some sort of punishment on his end.

Baffled by what was going on, Victoria had to stop and take a breather. She looked to her father who seemed very calm at the time, but she kne all too well what was building up under his placid demeanor. It would just take time for it to burst and probably a few silencing spells on a few closed doors so none of her family could hear him. Although... His voice seemed to break through all her spells when she got in trouble when she was younger. Her glance turned toward the three boys on the stairs and sighed as she looked at the youngest two.
Something told her that Dante had something to do with there all ready being an addition to the purest blood line of vampires left. But she knew that Beryx would have to be put in his place and taught that he has to control who he's biting and all. Not just anyone could deal with the idea of being a vampire, and something told her this young man was one of those people. "All right. Let's save the talk for later. As of right now we have over a hundred guests that need to be entertained." she turned to her father. "I know what you want to say, but save it for later. These young men need to be dressed up for the occation and I will see to it. As for now..." she looked at Dante. "You can address Dante while I tend to the boys. Please follow me." She smiled lightly at the boys and opened the door for them slipping her mask back over her face.
"We will find sutible dress attire from my late cousin Kingsley's room. Head up the stairs and go to the third door on the left," she directed the two.

Slytherin out of anyone else was telling him to 'Man up.' That house knew no meaning of the word and was stock full of cowards and double agents. This was the part that made him angrier than anything, but more at himself for his momentary failure to remain fearless. He would never allow that to happen again. Even though he was now a vampire, Ber was determined to hold onto his better character.
It was then he heard the professor speak again as well as look at them and was once again surprised. Not able to withhold his own confused look, he glanced back at her uncertainly. He had bitten another student and now they were going to a party? Or was this some plan she was forming to get them somewhere to kill the other off? He couldn't really tell by the looks he was recieving, for even his cousin was appearing caught off guard as he stood by Victoria's father.
Though there was nothing Ber could do as he watched her mask her face once more and walk them toward the room she had spoken of. His muscles made no move to relax even when a smile crossed her face. The last time that happened, the 5th year was bitten a second later...
*********************************************************************
As Dante watched them leave he attempted to keep his relaxed demeanor in front of Victoria's father. He was fairly sure she had left him here on purpose so they could be acquainted, though he couldn't help but feel it could've been on better terms. Not sure exactly what to say for once in his life, Dante remained silent, awaiting what would likely be a barrage on interrogating questions...

Anton's nerves began to get the best of him. With each step, he made himself believe that this was going to be the end of him. Victoria and Beryx were going to kill him, and they were smart to bring two people to get the job done. Anton wouldn't go down without a fight. He made himself sick thinking about it. Was he really a match for two vampires? He would find out sooner than he wanted to. But for now he would go without saying anything. They entered the room and Anton's eyes were forced to adjust. It was dark, and it looked like someone hadn't lived there for awhile. Just like Victoria had said. He late cousin must have been very long gone. It was funny when Anton thought about it. The poor guy was gone a long time ago, but of course was a vampire for after that, and then now he was truly gone. Maybe it happened in this very room. Now there would be two vampires who died in this bedroom and the only people that would know was the clan of vampires that inhabited the house. Anton was growing tired of waiting. So he spouted off. “Would you just do it already? I know I’m a danger to your prefect little clan, so just off me and be done with it. Just one request. Make it quick.” His face was solemn and he hoped that his words were unnecessary. He would find out soon. Maybe he should take a look into Beryx’s mind.
