Entrée de Journal Deux: Living Arrangements.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

After my rather abrupt entrance the other day and a few attempts at trying to return; it would appear that I am stuck here, so I suppose proper introductions are in order.

My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, a surname I hope will be familiar to at least a few of you, pureblood wizard, from a long line of purebloods and no doubt wealthier than you could hope to be.

I did study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, initially with Albus Dumbledore as headmaster and then Professor Snape my old head of house.

[Soft frown and a quiet pause for a moment before changing tack]

Anyway I have been told I live next door to an angel and that there's a demon on the other side of him, I've not actually met either of them but am I the only one that finds this a little bit disconcerting?

I'm not going to have the fires of hell suddenly lick up my bedroom door whilst some celestial battle goes on, am I? Whose bright idea was it to put those particular forms of life together?

Oh Joy...and apparently a demon hunter further down the hall from them...

Yes this will go well.

[sighs huffily and walks with the journal in his hand]

And guess who else the castle has deemed fit for sticking me on the same hall as...

[Insert girlish shriek before a yell issues out]

Bloody hell Longbottom! Your toad in my sodding loo!

Yes, immortal if initiated. They're born with the power, but there's some ritual to bring it out, I think. I can't ask, seeing as we're mortal enemies.

More like they try to kill us.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it get dull?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Immortal in that we'll never die of "natural causes". We're both capable of being murdered.

And anyways, most of the time they leave us alone so long as we don't make a mess... they understand we need blood to survive. But if there are a lot of what they deem "unnecessary" killings in one area, they'll sweep through.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

So as long as you stay careful you're safe?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Well... the stronger of us can usually sense what's going on and leave. They do a wonderful job of cleaning out fledglings, though.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

That's a little mercenary, isn't it?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Well, it is usually the fledglings who cause the trouble.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

I suppose, but weren't you one once?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

My first hundred years were sustained by the blood of murderers and rapists, remember?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

Yes but you were still a fledgling.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

[shrugs]
Fledglings get killed all the time, and not just in my world. I gather that in most worlds it's pretty common for most to die before they reach 100.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

...

How old are they before they're no longer fledglings?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Most vampires to die, I should have said. Generally those over 100 are not considered fledglings.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

That's a long time...So I'd be a fledgling? You know if I was one of you.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Yep. Just to be sure, though - it's not that you want to be one?

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

No... I like my blood pumping where it is.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

[smiles]
Most people do.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

[shrugs]

Well no offence you'd have to be mental or dying to voluntarily go for it surely?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

There are quite a few who find the idea... enticing.
[and yes, that last word has almost sexual conotations... she breathes it more than says it]</i.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

[Raises a brow and looks a bit pale]


I'd like not to die when I ...you know.

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

Most fledglings sleep through the death... being awake, it seems, is the cruel fate of my line alone.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

No I mean I don't want to have sex and then die.

[Replies horrified at the thought]

How is that exciting in any way?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

[eye roll and small chuckle... mortals. Not all pleasure is sex...]
It's not sex, though I'm told the dizzy pleasure of it is very similar.

[malfoy-purity.livejournal.com]

[This is a seventeen year old boy- it's always about sex...and maybe food.]

Sounds mental if you ask me.

[mutters]

Wouldn't you get bits of skin in your teeth?

[eyesweregold.livejournal.com]

To have one's blood drawn by a vampire, as a human, is a dizzying and pleasureful experience. There are plenty of willing blood slaves in our hidden cities.
