Harry Potter: A Fan Fiction - Volume 1 Chapter 48 Vamps Iii
The cold silence of the night is the signal for most creatures of darkness to move about, hunt, and even party to simply enjoy their ever boring long lives that revolves around drinking wine and sleeping.
This night however is very different from every other night from before, there is a sticky feeling around the neck and a lingering tension in the air like a sword hanging above one’s head ready to claim one’s life anytime. It was an unsettling feeling, a feeling that made even the animals to choose silence than to get attention onto themselves.

The stillness of the night stirred and the vampires rushed out to their leaders in full combat gear after hearing the alarm. Unlike the wizards, vampires saw the importance of technology and tried to develop their own to be ahead of their mortal counterparts.
The vampires who reacted first worked like a huge military unit, in fact they are actually patterned after the muggle concept of a soldiers. The speed by which they were able to respond to an incident like this is testament to their strict training.
Boom*

Projectiles came out of nowhere, broke the defensive barrier that protected their fortress and embedded itself deep into the ground before exploding with reckless abandon killing and trapping the unlucky ones who got caught in the controlled explosion. The ground shook with each shot of explosive, the vampires hiding inside the bunkers became restless and headed further down on their leader’s order. They were afraid to be entrapped under the massive stones that should have been able to protect them but was proven to be as useless as the barrier the damned goblins set up, even their own barriers didn’t work against the enemy attacks and was torn like a piece of paper towel, so no one questioned their Lord’s orders anymore he would surely want the best for them anyway.
Vampire Lord William’s eyes reddened from anger. Murderous air flew about him, he could only bite his own teeth with no one to vent his frustration on. He cursed his own weakness and inability as he roared in anger as he watched his coven being ripped by the explosions.
‘I can’t delay any longer.’
“Prepare to activate the formation, get the avatar ready we will begin immediately.”
The elders moved fast at William’s command although they are helpless about the outcome of this catastrophe they would at least put up a decent fight with everything they have.
A magic circle with an eight pointed star lit up and red light spread everywhere. William then stood in the middle of the circle and slit his own throat with a resolved and furious expression. Blood began to flow down into the circle, the vampires in the whole underground base began to dry up like leaves under the heat of the sun’s rays, their lives slipping away in front of their eyes. The blood on the ground evaporated and became red smoke that filled the whole place. Lights from the circle grew brighter and brighter until it was almost tangible. It all reached a peak and a stone stele rose up into the middle of the circle and devoured the red light, returning everything into darkness.
“Arise from the ashes and blood of my brethren, I summon thy apostle to wreak havoc in this realm, heed my call Lord Bangkai!”
Crack*
Crack*
Crack*
William lost the remaining light of life in his eyes. From the darkness and silence after the explosions from the bombing. A pair of eerie red globs of light remained to catch the attention of anyone who was present but alas there was no one to look at it for all the vampires of William’s line vanished to cinders and ashes in this night.
“Ahhhh… In the flesh once more… Hahahahahahahaha…
wreak havoc ehh? I will humor your request, in the name of your father Corvinus who is a faithful servant of mine, this I vow; blood will flow like the wide rivers of Bala’ak, the dead bodies of your enemies will pile up like Mt. Tabor, and their soul will be tortured for all eternity in my devine realm. Its time to…
Rock and roll baby!!!”
Bangkai took out a muggle looking tinted eyeware that covered his glowing red eyes, he is a skeleton covered in human skin, he looked even more sinister as he smiled with his blackened teeth and tongue. His mouth did not stop exuding red smoke that looked to be as thick as that of a vape smoker. His messy long hair covered his face and his voice is a mixture of devinity and evil at the same time. His body is half n.a.k.e.d, dry skin, spiked bones and whatnot out in the open for everyone to see. His lower body is covered with black pants made from the skin of a great reptile.
Bangkai looked around then stepped out of the circle and with a gesture, black smoke flew all around and gathered around him… when the smoke-like thing dissipated Bangkai can be seen in a set of full black armor and with a single step, he was already standing before the towering edifice of a metallic colossus layered in active defensive runes.
“Hahaha almost magnificent! Too bad it had to be destroyed…”
‘Hmmmm?!’
“I like your style. You should work for me.”
The tone was not arrogant but more sincere like he is simply asking a peer to join his cause. Bangkai turned around to look at the source of the voice and saw a young human male whose eyes are brimming with so much depth that even he himself wondered how a mortal could reach this level with the restrictions imposed by the realm on the levels of power.
“Ooooh… You are strong for a mortal. You are not my target, but do you really want to mess with me right now? I have a young high elf to catch.”
Bangkai is clearly trying to warn him not to interfere.
“Yeah. I get that a lot. My name is Viktor Krum, let me answer your question first. If you have your real body descend here then I would gladly accept my death from Bangkai the great lord of blood and bones. Unfortunately an using an avatar is a different matter altogether. And that elf is under my wing, you will have to go through me first.”
Bangkai was shocked. Most mortals wouldn’t even know about the names of minor gods such as himself who have very little influence in this material plane, and definitely… very few knows about how the rules of the realms worked, but the young man in front of him seems to be well informed for a mere human. It could be that he is under the support of another minor god but it is highly unlikely because he can’t feel an ounce of divinity in him. But this didn’t stop him from deciding to take Viktor very seriously.
Bangkai is a minor god who lives in a realm of a higher level than the world in which the setting for Harry Potter happened, Bangkai has the power to control the laws of blood and bone. The reason for his descent on this material plane on behalf of the vampires who are his followers.
The information came from the consciousness of a dying minor god who tried to start over by spreading his soulseed into the lower realms, it wasn’t much but the minor god did know quite a few things. Many things actually to Viktor’s delight.
“Hahaha I didn’t expect to be quite known in this realm… you have surprised and entertained this Lord Mr. Krum. Its too bad that you now have to die as well, I’ll need yours, the elf and the pack’s blood to stay longer in this realm.”
There is a pinch of pity in Bankai’s voice which is naturally picked up by the ever so sharp Viktor. He truly needed Viktor’s blood as the vampires have paid a great amount of materials, bone, blood and soul just to summon his consciousness into this realm, he must fulfill his duty or his main devine soul will receive backlash from reneging from the contract.
Sigh*
‘Talking is useless now.’
“Its too bad then… I’ll have to disappoint you this time.”
